12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,040

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: congratulations on your your your recent addition to the family

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: and right, but the most asked question where people knew

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: that you guys were coming was how does the household

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: work with a vegan and you're not vegan? Right, vegan

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: and someone who's not vegan. You're pushing vegan and you're

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: pushing chicken and beef, Like, how does that work? You

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: really don't eat beef? You listen, That's funny because a

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: lot of people do ask that question. Um, I do

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot of grill stripping at the house, you know

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We got we got a commercial grill,

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: so I stripped it down the grid. So whatever I make,

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: I make sure I clean it real good, you know

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So she gets what she wants, her

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: vegetables and all that. But it's so like vegans are

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: like on some ship like where it's almost like an

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: allergy type ship. I never do that, So listen, it's

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: so funny story, y'all. So when we first met, our

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: first little encounter was at a vegan restaurant, so, like,

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: I was very clear about my lifestyle, and before I

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: started dating him, I was like, I'm never dating no

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: guy that ain't vegan, Like that's out the window that

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: and then I met him and then all of that wind.

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: But in the household, that's really cool because I know

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: how to cook for a vegan and a non vegan,

37
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: and like, he don't impede on my lifestyle and he

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: don't be like why are you eating that? Like I

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: eat what I eat, heat what he eat, and we

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: respect each other. And she could cook you'd be thinking

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: like damn, like how do you make this taste? Like this,

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: not tasting it. She can cook, so that works out

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: for us. Okay, you tried them Vegan hot wens and

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: ship what it is? Everything, all of it. Honestly, since

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: since we've been together, I've been eating a little, you know,

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: a lot different. But I'm patting my my swag and

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: my season on and all that to give it that taste.

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: So it ain't you know, just like you know vegetables.

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: And we're able to help each other out. Like I

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: don't eat beef as much as I used to. Um,

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm more seafood. I love seafo. Anybody to know me,

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: I eat sup for my whole life. So and that's

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: why I throll through the Salma Agro was working big

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: days because I was able to create the season. And

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that people love that, you

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: know get that, Yeah, so I appreciate that. So I'm

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: able to give everybody everything they want, you know what

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying, whether this beef, chicken, or salmon. So I'm

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: I got um. I got turned on, like to the

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: whole restaurant. Shout out to my nigga talk that's my brother.

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Like he turned me on and he was like yo,

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: he was like, my man's got a new spot down

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: there when you were um at the gas station and

64
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: done with yea like and it was like I went

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: there for the first time and I couldn't even get

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: in or like eat or order or nothing because it

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: was like so crazy. So like when did you understand, Like, Okay,

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: this ship is bigger than snowballs and cheese steaks, and

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I gotta get to a bigger space because it's two

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: packed in here and it's not gonna work. Honestly. It's

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: when we can no longer control the traffic. And I

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: was getting into every other day and I'm like, you

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: know what, I gotta get my ship together, you know,

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: get these funds together to build this location and get

75
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: up and running, because I knew that when Eve had

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: posted it and then went viral, were starting to get

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: national attention. And I'm like, this ship bigger than food

78
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: and and why had the culture? And I can make

79
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: people understand like you don't got a bead, basketball player

80
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: or rapper to make it. You could be entrepreneur. So

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm like I got I got the chance to really

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: show people and the opportunity to do that, and I

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: felt like I had it. I wasn't gonna, you know,

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: mess up, so I took it. So I knew the

85
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: whole time I was selling more than food. Yeah, that's

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: all right. So y'all been on a massive winning streak

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: of featured in Essence, People Magazine, all the publications, right,

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: and of course when people look at social media, they

89
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: see the winds. But let's talk a little bit about

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: before y'all was having the big wins, like a little

91
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: bit of the struggle. I know, your first business actually

92
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: burned down. Yeah, and you know, it's funny, that's a

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: full circle moment because my first radio interview was with you.

94
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: First radio first brought that She brought me that burger

95
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: like a crazy tire. But look at us now, right here,

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, it wasn't easy for me. Um. I

97
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: always been an entreprene nere and the hustler. For the

98
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: people who don't know my story, my father did twenty

99
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: two years in prison, so I grew up in the

100
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: prison system. Obviously I wasn't behind bars, but I had

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: to go to prison and get swaddled down. Every single

102
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: time we went to see my dad. You only got

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: two hours. So like my mindset was like, this ain't

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: my life. I ain't gonna do this. So I became

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, and as young as fourteen, I'm throwing parties,

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm selling food, and I'm selling candy. And then I

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: got older and had my own restaurant called Pinkies Jamaican,

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: an American restaurant, and that restaurant was seemingly successful, but

109
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: I was hustling back that was in New York City. Um,

110
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: because I was vegan and vegetarian at the time, but

111
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I was selling jerk chicken. So I wasn't being authentic

112
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: who was right? So I was not living in my right.

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: And this is such a serious conversation for people to understand,

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: especially entrepreneurs that are listening to this. You have literally

115
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: got to walk in your truth because if you don't,

116
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: it will literally fall apart. And that's what happened to me.

117
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: But I'm so glad it happened. That I lost my car,

118
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: got repolled, I got kicked out of my apartment, I

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: went flat broke, and I literally everything that I ever

120
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: touched that used to turn to go literally was nothing now.

121
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 1: But I needed all of those things to happen because

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: all it was was very expensive. At school, you know

123
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that expensive school taught me how

124
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: to be a better entrepreneur, how to be a better leader,

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: so that when I create a slutty vegan, I'm like,

126
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: all right, I've been here before. I know what this

127
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: feels like, I know what to do different. So the

128
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: journey has not always been easy. Most times people be like, oh, y'all, overnight, overnight,

129
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: wear overnight when my way just got garnished, where I

130
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: had tax issues, right where I was on the verge

131
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: of being about to close, like this ship. This ship

132
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: ain't for the week, And being a restaurant tour is

133
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: probably one of the hardest professions in the world. One

134
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: because restaurants don't last, right too, because you gotta be

135
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: a baby sitter. You gotta be a therapist's right. You

136
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: gotta take care of people, make sure everybody is good,

137
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: and still maintain your sanity. Ah why paying bills like

138
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: that ship ain't no joke. So to have to go

139
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: through all of that, it's very difficult, But the reward

140
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: is so much greater on the other side, because I

141
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: would not have it any other way. Yeah, how do

142
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: y'all deal with That's how y'all deal with like keeping

143
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: the recipe right because the big thing and some of

144
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: my chef partners just like, I have to run this restaurant.

145
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: I can't nobody else cook this ship. Y'all keep it

146
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: so so honestly, that was a big test for the

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: both of us because of course people love us, right,

148
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: so coming to the restaurant and you don't see me

149
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: on the grail, you know, I don't know if I

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: want to sounds, so I know I had to. I

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: had to, you know, get the recipes all the way

152
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: down so that no matter who making it, you know,

153
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: you feel confident in the mill and you're getting the

154
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: same thing over and over, and you can't scale unless

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: you can get the recipes and the procedures down. Like,

156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't care how good your product is, what you

157
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: put together, you'll just have one location that's popping because

158
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: the other one won't do the same thing and the

159
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: other would do because they don't taste the same the people.

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: To let me tell you, the culture when you walk

161
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: into a place is everything, Like we go off of

162
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: what we see. Like I was telling God other day,

163
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, I feel like you need to,

164
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, work on your ticket times and get your

165
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: lines down. I'm like, you don't understand the culture. People

166
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: eat off what they see. You ride past big days

167
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: and you see the line down the black You like,

168
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I want to see what you know what? Yeah, yeah,

169
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't see nobody. Nobody we do good as you

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: know what we do good at We I think we

171
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: understand the culture, like I think that pink and our

172
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: boast like we we really understand what people want. So,

173
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, growing forward and growing your brain is easier.

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: It's not as hard than another person, you know that's

175
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: growing a restaurant and gotta really physically sit there and

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: work every day because they're scared to let the next

177
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: person do the job. We we let people do the job.

178
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: Were letting people grow. We let people get careers, you know,

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: mastering their own households and being able to take their

180
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: own lives and their own journeys. And the only way

181
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: you could do that is if you master the recipes

182
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: and have faith. So I think that's what we both

183
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: do well. And you can't grow inside of the store

184
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: like Bluddy Vegan wasn't able to grow until I stepped

185
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: outside of the restaurant, right, And that means processes and

186
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: procedures and getting a co packer to put your season

187
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: in to together so you ain't gotta make it every

188
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: single day. The minute that I stepped outside of my restaurant,

189
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: I saw growth. When I was in there every day

190
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: all day, trying to be the line cook, trying to

191
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: shake fries, trying to do schedules and do all of that,

192
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't get nothing done. And then come and do

193
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: interviews like I'm I'm pouring out of my cup and

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm not able to feel from anybody else's cup because

195
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm so depleted and I'm so drained because my stuff

196
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: ain't together. But as soon as I stepped outside of

197
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: that restaurant, then I started to see evolution in my

198
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: business and it started to grow. But you gotta have

199
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: your ship together. Though you can't step out the restaurant

200
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: if you ship ain't together, because's gonna fall apart. So

201
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: you gotta have it together. So anybody listening to have

202
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: together if you're playing on stepping out. But it works

203
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: when you step out because you get to see what's

204
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: really going on. You know what you're really working away

205
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: with your team, right, So I know another A big

206
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: thing with you is that you make like a concerted

207
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: effort to consciously place your restaurants in areas that are

208
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: typically known as food deserts. So what kind of made

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: you aware of like the whole food desert concept and

210
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: what made you feel like you were the person that

211
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: was going to change that for our community? So a

212
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: funny story, I didn't know that I was gonna be

213
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: that person. Yeah, Like I ain't wake up like I'm

214
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna be the one that's gonna be this person, Like

215
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I didn't like when I started Slutty Vegan, it was

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: really just solving a personal problem. And that's where the

217
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: greatest passions and purposes come out of when you're just

218
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: solving the problem for yourself. But then you realize that

219
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: you really saving the world and helping me. And I'm

220
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: like me, I'm from East Baltimore, from around the way,

221
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm saving the world, you know what I'm saying. So

222
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: when when I solved the problem of wanting some food

223
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: on a late night because I was tired of eating

224
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: the size salad and fries from Chick fil A because

225
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: I wanted some food, right, I created this brand. But

226
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: I realized they were so many people that looked like us,

227
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: that didn't know that frogs was vegan, right. They didn't

228
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: know like, oh, I could eat that, that's vegan, Like

229
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: what is that? Like? What is vegan food? People don't

230
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: know a lot of black people did not know what

231
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: vegan food was before Sele came along. Right. They think

232
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: you could put eggs in it and it still be vegan. Right,

233
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: But ignorance is blessed until you educate people. So now

234
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: I got the opportunity to start educating people on vegan food.

235
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: So I realized that in certain areas and lower income

236
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: communities and urban areas which we call food deserts, and

237
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: areas that are right in the middle of gentrification, they

238
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: don't have access to healthier options, even if it starts

239
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: a vegan comfort food, right, So I said, all right,

240
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: let me do something different. Because I'm a master marketer,

241
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to be able to positive, positively manipulate my

242
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: situation by putting food in areas that they probably otherwise

243
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't see them. So when you think about vegan fool

244
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you think about them in rich white neighborhoods, were putting

245
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: vegan food in the hood, were put in vegan food

246
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: in areas that are historic We're making people think about

247
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: vegan food in a way that they've never thought about

248
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: it before and finding enough. Ninety seven percent of the

249
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: people who come to Slutty Vegan are not even vegan.

250
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: They meet eaters. So I'm like, Okay, the intention is mad.

251
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: And not only do I do that, I have a

252
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: seventy percent to thirty percent portfolio ratio where I purchased

253
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: most of my properties and then I rent the thirty

254
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: percent of them and the reason why I purchased them

255
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: because it's not just about food. I'm building an ecosystem

256
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: where I'm showing people that you can literally go into

257
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: these communities and raise the value of the community just

258
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: with your presence alone. I don't know about y'all, but

259
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: anyway I go, I want to raise the value. If

260
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: I walk out the door, I want to know that

261
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: my value was important in that space and I raised

262
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: the consciousness of everybody around me. And that's exactly what

263
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: I do with Slutty Vegan. And it's been working. How

264
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: big of all of it, But neither one of us

265
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: would have had this level of success if it wasn't

266
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: for the city of Atlanta. And I'm not from Atlanta,

267
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: right I'm a transplant. I went to Clark in Lanta University.

268
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: I became Miss Clark Atlanta University. So I'm a peach

269
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: by by affiliation, right, But I love honorary honorary peach. Right.

270
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: You can't taught me nothing different with But one thing

271
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: I love about Atlanta is if you're talented and you

272
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: humble and you're hungry, people in Atlanta are going to

273
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: support you no matter what it is, They're gonna support you.

274
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: And even til the state it's went almost four years later,

275
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: they walk around Atlanta and they treat me like the mayor, right,

276
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: And it feels so good because I'm like, damn, I'm

277
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: doing something right. I'm pouring into the city and the

278
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: city pouring to me, and I'm gonna keep doing that

279
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: as long as I have slutty vegans, as long even

280
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: when I go to other states, it's always gonna be

281
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: slutty vegan Atlanta because I'm here because of the city

282
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: of Atlanta. Right. Yeah. Is it disheartening to know some

283
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: time ago one of your locations broke into invanalyzing disheartening

284
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: to see that because you do so much for the

285
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: city in the community that somebody were violating breaking the slutty.

286
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: I was angry. I'm gonna lie. So at first I

287
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: was man like DA's motherfucker. I just remodeled. But then

288
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, that's great. Press want to

289
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: destroy my story. Guess what now everybody supporting me and

290
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: talking about my business, and all press is good press.

291
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: We can always find a way to make good press.

292
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: And that ain't the traditional answer that somebody would say.

293
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: But I'm like, at first I was upset, but I'm like,

294
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: guess what. Obviously he really wanted the burger, he was hungry.

295
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I created, No, he stole tablets. I got five locations

296
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: and I got a multimillion dollar company. What I care

297
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: about a goddamn tablet for you know what I'm saying.

298
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it had me

299
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: in every single newspaper and on every single news station,

300
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: and people are talking about slutty Vegan. So the return

301
00:14:51,240 --> 00:15:02,479
Speaker 1: on investment of him still in my tablets was worth more. Yeah,

302
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: we got robbed tips. One of my cashiers got right

303
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: for three a rols, so it was real out here

304
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: what they do we don't why don't take cash? So,

305
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Only take cards. So when

306
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: they when they want to take his cash, she poured

307
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: out the pistol and took the ag rols. She good

308
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: like now, but it's crazy what people are do out

309
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: here now this. You know, we're in the pandemic, so

310
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: they're taking full advantage of whatever they think they should. Man,

311
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: he's thinking stretching that pandemic. Yeah, I don't think Atlanta

312
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: never really seen the pandemic. I don't think though, because

313
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: I think that we was able to pivot through and

314
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: the businesses stayed, people panicked. The people that don't panic,

315
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: you see, they're still standing. Yeah. Yeah, first, Yeah, Fort

316
00:15:50,720 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: Shore one of the big wins. I got to mention

317
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: y'all just bought a whole block, like a whole well

318
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: not real state right now. Yeah, um, like she said, uh,

319
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta make differences in the neighborhoods. And

320
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: right now we're bringing up the neighborhoods by like, we

321
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: just bought the block. So we know, we take a

322
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: block of homes that ship and make it something the

323
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: community going down, the value will come up around there,

324
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, And that's what we're trying to do. We're

325
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: trying to build those ecosystems that black people have, you know,

326
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: chances and resources to say, all right, well they see

327
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: two other people that just like them do it. We

328
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: got some cash laying around, let's go block some blocks,

329
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: let's go pick some money. They ever do the same thing.

330
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: That's really all we're trying to do. UM. Just like

331
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: with our our life insurance initiative, you know what I'm saying,

332
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: anything that we've done, UM, So right now we're doing

333
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: this life insurance initiative where um, if you're a black

334
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: male in your household make thirty tho dollars less than income,

335
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: we're giving you fifty thou dollar life insurance policies through

336
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: predential Um. They don't have to pay for not at all.

337
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Like there's no gimmick, no nothing on it. Because a

338
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: lot of peop were like, man, what y'are making off

339
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: of it? I'm just side of saying, go fund me

340
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: and fish rivers. I come from Philly. I come from

341
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: the jungle. You know what I'm saying. Most of my homies,

342
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, wind up dead in jail.

343
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: I was fortunate to make it out, so I know,

344
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: if I can make a change and the difference and

345
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: she come from bottom are so we come from same

346
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: environments and we got the ball in our hands. Why

347
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: not do it when people were listening? You know what

348
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We got the voice, and I feel like

349
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people that get the voice, when they

350
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: get it, they want to hold it because they want

351
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: to be the man or the woman. And people will say,

352
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, you look up to them. But use that

353
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: ship differently, you know what I'm saying. Everybody using it

354
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: the same way. Use it to inspire neighborhoods and help

355
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: people out and put on these different communities so people

356
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: have opportunities. So we ain't gotta make you know what

357
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Uh, chances and choices later on that we

358
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to make because we didn't had a resource.

359
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: And you're like, damn, well, I don't know I could

360
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,919

Speaker 1: next week. Um, And they respect and love that. I

366
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: always hold my city down. Yeah, Atlanta is like what

367
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: made the business successful, but they know where I'm from, right,

368
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: and Baltimore is like Baltimore. It's like Atlanta minus the accent.

369
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, Baltimore is having my heart. I love my city.

370
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask you, Like, how did

371
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: how did you feel when like the whole world was

372
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: cracking on Baltimore trying to get all of the Baltimore

373
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: people to say too, I was who they're talking to.

374
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: But you know what, It's cool because there's something distinct

375
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: to my city, right right, I've been in Atlanta for

376
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: a long time and I still got my excent. I go, oh, yeah,

377
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: he loved Baltimore. Crabs. No women, you know what I'm saying.

378
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: I was about to say women, Look, I just had that.

379
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: They just they just had that online to the woman.

380
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: We have cut all these games. You know, you know

381
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: you got But I want to say this though you

382
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: mentioned this. We're on thirteen properties right now together. We're

383
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: about to close on three houses and um week. Yeah,

384
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: but we've only been together for two years. So I'm

385
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: talking to the lovers out there, y'all. But you can

386
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: really like build with somebody and they don't have to

387
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: take ten twenty years to do it. Like if you

388
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: if y'all got the same mission in an alignment, y'all

389
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: can really build together and create. And that's just real estate.

390
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Like we got businesses together, kids together. We may together

391
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: a short time, but we used love to do it

392
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: in friendship. When you use the money, you know, when

393
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: you built our money, you'll never make it. I don't

394
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: know about you, but when you're just chasing the money,

395
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: that ship don't come that way. What I'm saying, when yeah,

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 1: when you're doing that authentically, you're just focusing on your

397
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: craft and then you say, damn ship coming my way now,

398
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to get the bag. But with us

399
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: just spending plans together and things started transpiring into what

400
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: we wanted. So for us to purchase thirteen properties in

401
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: less than two years and have multimillion dollar companies together

402
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: and separately, um, you know, it's a blessing. Yea man? Oh,

403
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I think David Sharon's Social pro podcast, he was saying

404
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: that he realized at a certain point that he wants

405
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: to be like a multi multimillionaire, but he might not

406
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: want to be a billionaire because he wants to have balance.

407
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: So I asked, y'all, like, this year can be stressful,

408
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: hustling entrepreneurship, It can get stressful, But how do y'all

409
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: maintain the balance, so y'all don't get stressed out? I

410
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: think the other person got to be on the same

411
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: page what I'm saying individually. I know y'all got a team,

412
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: but I'm saying just now, but that's how it That's

413
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: how it worked, because I'm gonna get you a game, right.

414
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: So next week, she gotta speaking engagement, so I'm gonna

415
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: support her and I fly with her to her engagements.

416
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: I had engagement out of l a while, did something

417
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: will Smith. She flew out there with me. We support

418
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: each other, you know what I'm saying. So we got

419
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: that system that if we ain't working, well we're working

420
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: because you're working on working. Because we ain't working, then

421
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: were working in certain situations that you know, I had

422
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity and I'm pretty sure she had an opportunity.

423
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: If it don't make sense for the both of us,

424
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: we don't move on it because we understand we're pushing together, right. Yeah,

425
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: we do got our own separate you know, situation entities,

426
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: but we know together we're much more powerful. Yeah. And

427
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: then for me specifically, when you said the billionaire, I

428
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: want to be a billionaire. But it don't have nothing

429
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: to do with money, right. It's the idea of impact

430
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: and creating something that has never been done before from

431
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: where I'm from, so that every single little boy and

432
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: little girl can see me, this regular decular girl from

433
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: around the way and say I could do it because

434
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: Pinky Coke did it. So that is a personal goal

435
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: for me. And again I say this all the time.

436
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: I'm a magnetum money. I'm always get it right. So

437
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: like I've touched millions already, and to me, it's just paper, right.

438
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: I'm more concerned about the idea and impact and changing

439
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: the lots of other people. And the idea of me

440
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: getting to a billion dollars tells me that I've achieved

441
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: my impactful dream and now I can utilize any resource

442
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: that I want to do whatever I want to transform

443
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: the minds of people. So I'm on the money mission

444
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: to get to that billion dollar dream so that I

445
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: can transform the idea of what people think about money.

446
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: But people have been clear about the sacrifices you have

447
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: to make. I guess that's what a lot of sacrifices,

448
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of them. Because while they're partying, you're working.

449
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Why you ain't why you ain't buying that that new rolex,

450
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: so that that new paddock or whatever that came out,

451
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: or a new card came out. You're investing into yourself.

452
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: People don't see that part. It's people out here right

453
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: now that sacrifice and theirselves that may not look, you know,

454
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: as fortunate than others, but they got more than others

455
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: because they pinned it all in themselves, Like it cost

456
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: us over half a million dollars, a better location. I

457
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: can have right now, a couple of Bentley's Rose races,

458
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: anything I want. I mean, I have a night shot

459
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: living the mansion, but I can have more if I

460
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: chose to put it all out there and let people

461
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: see it. But I think when you understand that part,

462
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: you know it's not an inconvenienced for you because you

463
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: know what you want, like and and I know that

464
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: I want to be a billionaire, and I know that

465
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: I want to own hundreds and hundreds of properties, and

466
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: I know I want my kids to be good and

467
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: my generations of family after that to be good. So

468
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm sacrificing that right now. So it don't feel like,

469
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, inconvenience to me because I know in my

470
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: mind I just said, yeah, I just said this on

471
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: Instagram the other day. Um, you control your mind. Your

472
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: mind don't control you. We all wake up in the

473
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: morning and you might be like, damn, I don't like

474
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: the only ship right now, but you just lost you

475
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: Let your mind just control your whole body. Yeah, you

476
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: want that, you know what I'm saying. So I think

477
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: when you understand that, it's no inconvenienced on what you

478
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: want to be like. And then I want to tapping

479
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: here real quick. When we talk about sacrifice, A lot

480
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: of people don't talk about this, but you gotta have

481
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: a good team. If you do not have a the team,

482
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: you ain't got nothing. Right. Like, the reason why we

483
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: are able to do all of the things that we

484
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: do is because we got soldiers on the ground that's

485
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: making sure that they are pinky cold and Derek Hay's

486
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: in the room and we're not in the room. And

487
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: it's important to get those people that are in alignment

488
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: with your vision because if they are, they're gonna do

489
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to take you there. But if they're

490
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: not and they're just working for a paycheck, then you're

491
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna feel the sacrifice. You're gonna feel that the pain

492
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: and oh I'm tired and I gotta go in and

493
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: fix it all the time. You're gonna feel that. They

494
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: gotta have the same ethos and integrity, and when they do,

495
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: you'll see it. It'll be fruitful you think about it.

496
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: It's just like relationships. If you're in a relationship with

497
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: somebody that's pouring into you, you're gonna feel it. The

498
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: persons gonna look happier, they're gonna look less stressed, they're

499
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: gonna be more positive all the time. But if you're

500
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: around somebody that's sucking your energy and depleting you all

501
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: the time, you're gonna see it. The proof is gonna

502
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: be in a pudd in. So that sacrifice is only

503
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: when you don't have the right people. Yeah, you make

504
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: the sacrifices in the beginning and every single day as

505
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: a sacrifice, I want to be clear, But when you

506
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: got the right people around you that's helping you build

507
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: your empire, that sacrifice won't feel like so much hard

508
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: work like how we used to. All right, Yeah, what's

509
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: the first step if somebody want to get into being

510
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: a successful business person, because drop it on them. So

511
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: we actually about to solve that problem right now because

512
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: we're coming out with a game. I'm not yet. That's

513
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: the don't drop it out. Don't drop that fact. I've

514
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a LEAs. We got something special.

522
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm specifically talking to the people that don't know the

523
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: first thing about being an entrepreneur. I'm talking about you

524
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: don't know how good an LLC, You don't know nothing.

525
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: All you got is an idea. It's confidence. People do

526
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: not talk about that enough. Right. Let me tell you something.

527
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: I don't care how much money you got in your pocket.

528
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: If you're a billionaire, a millionaire, a thousand there, I'm

529
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: a walk in the room with the same energy and

530
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: that's my level of confidence. I don't care who it is.

531
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't care if you Kanye West, I don't care

532
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: who you are. That level of confidence is what gets deals.

533
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Confidence gets deals, not products, right, not just story. It's confidence. People. Yes,

534
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: people will give you a million gazillion dollars if they

535
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: believe that you are confident in yourself. You are not

536
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: confident in yourself, Why then do I want to give

537
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: you some money like that? If you don't believe that,

538
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: you get it. But if you believe with all of

539
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: your might, that ain't nothing gonna stop you from getting

540
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: to the goal. Somebody is gonna be attracted to that, like, oh,

541
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm willing to bet my body dollar on this person

542
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: because about when I'm sleeping and I know that this

543
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: person is still gonna be swaddling her legs and making

544
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: sure that she's doing what she gotta do to make

545
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: her dreams come true. So confidence is key. And guess

546
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: what you can't pay for confidence that whatever the episode,

547
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: listen to that episode. Listen when you hear the mother

548
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: talking bro you, when they leave out the room, you'll

549
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: be like, oh no, they was for real, they got

550
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: real company. Why, But that's why Kanye it's talked about

551
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: how he talked about because whether people look at him

552
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: as crazy or whatever, he's confident, he can't believe him. Yeah,

553
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: but confidence, I believe you look at the Dame Dashes

554
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: he's confident. I believe he's confident is the belief in

555
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: something separate confidence and cap That's what we're talking about,

556
00:27:53,040 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: like your confidence and arrogance. So listen, it's it's all

557
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: very relative. Because I even tell people, you're gonna love

558
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: me and you're gonna be inspired, or you're gonna be like,

559
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: who do the state? She is? Right? Yeah, but but

560
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: there is good arrogance, just like there's positive manipulation and

561
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: good arrogance hockey, right, but still being humble at the

562
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: same time. Like I'm gonna give you an example, like

563
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: I do not wear designer. I got on some Chanelle sneakers.

564
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: That's about it. That's about probably the most expensive thing

565
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: that I own materially because I don't need it because

566
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: this right here is all the material that I need.

567
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: Say right, So I say all that to say that

568
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: ain't arrogance. Heaven, I know, I really don't wait designer

569
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: though everybody like Peggy and I'm not waiting, but listen.

570
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: But I know my value. But that's not arrogance. That's worse.

571
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: And when you know you're worth worth Trump's arrogance any day,

572
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: you know. And I feel like people that think that

573
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: you arrogant don't understand themselves the confidence whatever it is

574
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: you're arrogant about. If I'm right now happy about what

575
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm building, I'm not happy to brag to you. I'm

576
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: trying to inspire you of what I'm doing. I want

577
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: to take that that's up to you. You know what.

578
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: I personal problem when people will say, you know, people

579
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: are bragging or married times this this person come around,

580
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: they want to talk about what they're doing. That's because

581
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: you ain't doing it with yourself. You know what I'm saying,

582
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: I just told you what God about this ship that

588
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely a personal problem. And if you can't handle

594
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: reject Do you think some people don't become entrepreneurs or

595
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: because they just scared the bet on themselves, Because that's

596

Speaker 1: a big part of that. Everything everything, but you could

606
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: out of the streets and everything I touch is a

607
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: multi million dollar business. So it's off of your confidence level,

608
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: what you know you can do. It ain't about the

609
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: education you're learning because you can learn all that in

610
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: the book, but can you carry it in the real world.

611
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: But I also believe and I just learned this in

612
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: the last two years, and I used to didn't think

613
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: this way. But everybody ain't designed to be entrepreneurs. There's

614
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: something like the world that are a better support system

615
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: than just being an entrepreneur. Like how could I be

616
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: as successful as I am if I didn't have a

617
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: Kia who is my assistant, who just make sure that

618
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: my life is in order and she knows how to

619
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: support people. That's how the world go around, Like you

620
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: need people that are soldiers. And everybody don't want to

621
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: be an entrepreneur. And that's okay, but that's a piggy goal,

622
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: Like that is my life's desire to be able to

623
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: create my own freedom and opportunity so that I could

624
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: be able to show the world that you can do.

625
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: But I also think when people look at us when

626
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: you're building all of the foundations you're building, by the

627
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: end of it, they're gonna wanna be entrepreneur anyway because

628
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: they've been around it so long. Look at all the

629
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: people blossom. I want to do something, whether it's career wise,

630
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: and the same under the same roof. It could be

631
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: under Sluddy Vegan Um, Big Days, whatever, but they want

632
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: to grow. And that's what it's about. It's about seeing

633
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: people growth, not want to stay the fry cook or

634
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: the grill cook. They actually might want to be a GM.

635
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about about people seeing the growth

636
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: from the level of your boss. And you're like, Ship,

637
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: I want to level up. I know I got people

638
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: right now that probably would have stuck to being a

639
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: fry cook or whatever they wanted to do, but they've

640
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: seen me growing, Like Ship, I gotta take this serious.

641
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: I want I want to do something, you know what

642
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think that's what it's all about.

643
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: Y'alln't have some heavy names walking y'all establishments. So what's

644
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: that one name with those couple of names that just

645
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: suck y'all up? Like, who's there for me? I wasn't

646
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: even there Man Russell Wilson, and Uh, they come through

647
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: a lot, you know what I'm saying, and I always

648
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: seem to miss them. But the biggest person for me

649
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: Um and it wasn't in my restaurant. It was just

650
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: what I just did in l A And that was

651
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Will Smith because that's my that's my idol. You know

652
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We come from like literally blocks apart,

653
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: and for him to be on the cover of essence

654
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: and me and make cover of essence and I was

655
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: able to have that, you know what I'm saying that

656
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: that transpiring, didn't have him to meet him in that

657
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: same moment and to give him, you know, the food

658
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: that I make. I think that was my one of

659
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: my biggest moments when it comes to celebrity. And I

660
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: didn't fed everybody, but that moment that I was waiting

661
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: for the more. You know what I'm saying, That moment

662
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: for me was was was It was real big for me.

663
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: It was more of a story. So the day that

664
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: I got fired, I was a casting director for a

665
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: TV show while I had Slutty Begin in the beginning, uh,

666
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: and I got fired that same day they found out

667
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: about Sluddy begin. I ain't tell nobody, So I'm all

668
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: bummed out because you know, I ain't never been fired

669
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: from no job like you're firing me. So I got

670
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: fired and ended up working the truck that day. So

671
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: me and my two team members we went to Jju

672
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: and it was like one o'clock in the morning, and

673
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: I was tired, and I'm like, damn, what I'm gonna do.

674
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do. J D called me at one

675
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: o'clock am this after you've been to j before. Yeah,

676
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: and you get off the shower, you put your clothes,

677
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: are you're chilling, were eating and j D called me like, hey,

678
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 1: I need you to come right now because I got

679
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: some people at the studio and I'm like right now,

680
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: and my people they're like, we're tired, We've been working

681
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: all day. I'm like, yeah, we gotta do it because

682
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: if j D calling me is somebody big. So literally,

683
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: as soon as we got comfortable, we put our clothes

684
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: back on, drove an hour to go get the truck,

685
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: drove forty five minutes to j D's studio and Snoop

686
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: Dogg was there. And that was the most impactful experience

687
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: that I had one because he was hid as my

688
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: but he was like, I'm just so proud of you

689
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: and like these fries days is good. At that moment,

690
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: his energy was just so melodic and I never forgot

691
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: it because I'm like, this means more to me than

692
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: a paycheck, right, Like I make the sacrifice to come

693
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: here and meet somebody who has always been a legend

694
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: in my eyes. And then fast forward, he ended up

695
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: doing a song for me that's being released this year

696
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: by the way, about began, but I can't drop right

697
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: now for the song. But I say all that to

698
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: say that one of the most memorable people were Snoop

699
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 1: because he's always been supporting Sluggly Vegan since day one.

700
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: And I never pay him the door. They never asked

701
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: when the door. He just did it on his own,

702
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: and I respect that, and I respect celebrities that genuinely

703
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: do that. They don't need a check to endorse your brand.

704
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be down on yourself about getting fired

705
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: from the little drink of denk job, but sometimes the

706
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: biggest obstacles in the life of mistakes comes out to

707
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: the biggest things ever and you're like, you don't even

708
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: know that happening. Question, guy, you just be like, man,

709
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm a roll with the punchers, and I promise you

710
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: something out coming that ship. You're gonna be like a

711
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: lesson from it, or you're gonna get up from human like, damn,

712
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: it was worth it. So I don't question no no more.

713
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: When I'm going through. You get spoiled in this you

714
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, in its life. I mean by

715
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: that it is like you, you get spoiled to the headlines,

716
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: that all that stuff that comes with it, and sometimes

717
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: you gotta be real with yourself, like I can't handle

718
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: this ship right now. I need a mental break, you

719
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. All Right, So I think that's

720
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: when you get leverage of your own stuff and not

721
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: lose yourself. How your family, your family, don't ask me,

722
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell the truth, the truth, its big facts. Oh,

723
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't hire a family no more. That's the biggest

724
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: mistake that I love. If y'all listen to this, I

725
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: love you, but I will never hire you again. Um.

726
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: And I think that in universally, right. I'm sure that

727
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: other cultures are able to do it. But my family specifically,

728
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: why I love them. I think that people just naturally

729
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: have a level of entitled. Man, I'm the base, right,

730
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: So they say, oh, this is just Pinky. No, it's

731
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: not just Pinky. This is Pinky who was the CEO

732
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: of this company. You gotta respect my decisions and my

733
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: boundaries and my boundaries and if you don't respect that,

734
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: then you got family, she taught me, and people can't

735
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: respect that. So I just got my last family member

736
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: out of the business. I love him to death, but

737
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: I sent him on his way. Um, and it was amicable.

738
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: And I still love my all of my family members,

739
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: but I know that in order to grow what I'm

740
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: trying to grow, I'd rather give them money to start

741
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: their own business so that they could be right. So

742
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: the day you got to impede on what I got

743
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: going on, I got one left. He got it, He

744
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: got it together though. You know what I'm saying. I

745
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: got one left work. Yeah, yeah, at the top, you

746
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But he different, He understands mature

747
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: enough to understand one for Derek, everybody for people definitely

748
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: then went through the same ship. I cleaned and cleared

749
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: them all out because it's the entitlement from it? Should

750
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: I how you deal with how y'all deal with entitlement? Though? Um,

751
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: you gotta get away from it. You gotta literally get

752
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: away from it. You gotta down a hood though. Now

753
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why you gotta get away from it,

754
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: because we all got that phone call, that call, your

755
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: phone you already know that ship about to be an

756
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: entertaining phone call, so before you answer, you got the

757
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: You got the decision whether you want to, you know,

758
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: you pick it up or not and deal with it.

759
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: You over there breaking the microphone because let's just for

760
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: entitlement is real, because it don't just be family. So

761
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: remember we got startup companies, So there were people that

762
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: started up with my company that naturally had a level

763
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: of entitlement. They like, I started this with you, so

764
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: this's mine too. Well, you get a paycheck to right,

765
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: or it's mine on paper, right, And you also have

766
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: to respect the boundaries, and that can get very monkey.

767
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: Fortunately for me, the people who've been riding with me

768
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: from the beginning, I all gave them equity into my

769
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: company because I want to show them that they are

770
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: just as valued as me and this company. But there

771
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: have been some people that slipp through the cracks that

772
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: felt like that their name was Pinky Cole. And sometimes

773
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: you just gotta really like check it, and if you

774
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: don't check it, then it can really become a cancer

775
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: in your business. Yes, oh, I've been dealt with it

776
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: more than enough time. But you gotta get it. You

777
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: gotta get your dogs have been rocking with you, somemc

778
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: with it though the one has that been rocking with

779
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, and carrying the legacy. You gotta make sure

780
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: they're taken care of because some people in there working

781
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: every day sweat and you know what I'm saying, we're

782
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: mentally growing our businesses. Now it's a different thing. Like

783
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: I tell them all the time. When I was in

784
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: there chopping cheese steaks and don't that every day it

785
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: was more physical. But this way, you don't want none

786
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: of this stress. You don't want to deal with none

787
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: of this ship, these bills, everything that comes with it.

788
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: You're doing interviews, you gotta make sure that everything you

789
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: put out on the media one of the things you

790
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: and not what they perceptive or perceive. So and being entrepreneurs,

791
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: women have that privilege to like rappers and and do

792
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: bullshit and all that. You know, ye your whole business

793
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: because like what I mean is we literally gotta walk

794
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: on a straight arrow, but we gotta give you the

795
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 1: game where you can understand it, you know what I'm saying.

796
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: So that ship ain't easy sometimes, but when you're yourself,

797
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: nothing can trump that because you ain't listening to the

798
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: outside world. You know what you represent, you know who

799
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: you are, and you know what you're buildings. What's a

800
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: lifestyle like for y'all, like, just step out of entrepreneur

801
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: I know it's hard, or what's lifestyle like if you

802
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: just haven't what some said that y'all like like to

803
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: do or enjoy or some activities or anything. When you

804
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: guys are not Pinky calling derrikky, slutty Vegan Dave cheesesteaks,

805
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: you guys are just big Pinky and big Dave. The

806
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: family we travel were like, I mean, I I smoke,

807
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: That's why I like. I like the going my little

808
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: my little smoke room, had my little free time. I

809
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: turned some yeah, my little man cave, turned some ESPN

810
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: on and blow it down. But I think we both

811
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: of us, we we uh we do good at when

812
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: we um let him know she blazed machine. But no.

813
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: But honestly, I think when we ain't doing business, what

814
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: we like to do is travel. We'd like to just

815
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: see the world. She she actually um when I met her,

816
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: and she was like, you ain't got your passport. I'm

817
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: like no, She's like, I gotta get your passport. So

818
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: I didn't popped a lot of tracks, a lot of

819
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: end of the day. Bro leaving the neighborhood was enough

820
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: for me. So when I left, when I left out

821
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: the Philly, I was I was going to uh. I

822
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: was in Athens, Georgia. I was playing basketball, you know,

823
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: my grandparents and all that. So when I used to

824
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: go to Athens, that was my escape. That would be

825
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: like me going out of the country and I come

826
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: back to Philly. You know, at the end of the summer,

827
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: they're like, you've been going over something. I'm like, yeah, man,

828
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: you know they got the green grass, the trees and

829
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: all that. She got the swim pools. So that was

830
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: me vacation. And so now maybe to see like the

831
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: rest of the world and see what I worked hard for.

832
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: Maybe to go fishing. I love fishing because I feel

833
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: like fishing is life right if you're patient, and eventually

834
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: you will get what you know what I'm saying. So

835
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: when I go fishing and you're fishing with somebody that

836
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: just like, damn, I ain't catch it, and they keep nagging,

837
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: that's because you ain't gonna never get ship because you

838
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: ain't patient. You gotta just take your time and relax

839
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: and wait for your fish to bite, and it might

840
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: be the biggest fish you ever caught. That might have

841
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: took you about an hour to to catch that fish.

842
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: But tell them why you like to fish because of

843
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: my father. I mean, you know the way I grew up.

844
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: Have you ever let me ask you this? Have you

845
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: ever hooked your finger before? I actually did a couple

846
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: of times, but I still worship let me take you.

847
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I still don't not take a fish

848
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: off the hook though. Really I don't funk with catfish. Listen,

849
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: I take any fish out catfish? Thank you? Yeah, so

850
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's a couple of catfish that hurt. Swimming

851
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: around with the hurt, Like the worst way do you

852
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: think being a relationship? Keep you ground up for like

853
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: you said earlier, buying the cars and doing all the

854
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: ship while you're looking at somebody that blow a million

855
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: hours in a year. Hell yeah, keep me granted. Like

856
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: when I came to Atlanta, all I wanted to do was, uh, well,

857
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: I was disabled for five years. I had an accident,

858
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: so when I came here, all I wanted to do

859
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: was like, have a normal life party. I've seen people

860
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: that look like me. They're driving landbows, and ship and Philly.

861
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: It ain't like that you get robbed and killed looking

862
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: like that. So everything was hairy was you can show

863
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: it up. So why I was out here, you know,

864
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: blowing my money and I realized in what I was doing,

865
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: I was setting myself up and go back home, you

866
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So when I realized everything that

867
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: I all my mistakes and everything I did in my life,

868
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: I knew that I would never ever make another mistake

869
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: to go backwards. So that's what I really wanted, you

870
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That was everything with it about

871
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: you you think you'll be, and that first of all,

872
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: he's a flashy guy. I'm not flashy at all. No,

873
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm not flashy. I just know right I know I'm

874
00:42:55,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: from them. We cultured reship. It'll be tad. She keep me, no,

875
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: she keep me drining because I ain't gonna like I'd

876
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: be like, I don't got to. I mean, I gotta

877
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: have a nice car in a nice house. So that's

878
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: the two things that I like. I gave up on

879
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: a jury. I ain't really jury crazy. I ain't know rapper,

880
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: I really know it was really into all of that.

881
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I got a nice car in the house.

882
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: But I think those are the two things that if

883
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: you work hard. You know what I'm saying, you want

884
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: you want to walk outside from your place of business

885
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: to your vehicle. You want to go into your truth.

886
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying with a penny picture. And

887
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: I'm proud of it. Right, I'm very frugal, right, as

888
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: much money as I make and do well. Like, I'm

889
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: very frugal because I'm Jamaican, So I grew up in

890
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: the Jamaican house. So we left overs for the next

891
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: three days. So like, I love leftovers, right, Like I

892
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: don't really like buying food all the time. So, like,

893
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: we had a separation and culture. So when we came together,

894
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, were eating again every day. Listen, you see

895
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: my system. Listen, I'm gonna tell you what it was.

896
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: It was. It was in the beginning we had to

897
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: get used to a restaurant. You know what I'm saying

898
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: that too, But Atlanta got we got good restaurants. But

899
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta does have a lot of bad restaurants. I mean,

900
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out there, so a lot of

901
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: people it's not a lot of good cooking. I'm not

902
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: coming at Nobody restaurants in general. But you know, I

903
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: don't want to see you overall. I think that we

904
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: keep don't want your We keep we keep ourselves grounded because, um,

905
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: we always think about big picture now, right, because like

906
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: he had two kids before we had our two kids,

907
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: having two kids, but like now it's about future and

908
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: like making sure that the kids got five to nine

909
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: plans and right, and life insurance insurance a lot of people,

910
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: that's right. That's bigger than like shoes and ship like

911
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: in real estate. It's important and building generational wealth because

912
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: I want to be able to leave my children with

913
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: something and and and I'm sure that people who are

914
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs everybody should think that way too, right, But I

915
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: want to be able to have something that my kids

916
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: don't have to work if they don't want to, and

917
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: they can focus on their dreams and not the stresses

918
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: of paying bills. So all of this right now, it's

919
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: patient capital. Like we're working hard now and it reinvesting

920
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: everything back into our businesses. And I mean, we could

921
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: really live lavishly, but I don't think we live very modest.

922
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: Would you agree? Yeah, I think we're doing I also

923
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: think that anybody that lived our life and what we

924
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: we have, they would pretty much look at it like

925
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: they sat forever. But we know we want and we

926
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: know this is a stepping stone. But you gotta have,

927
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: whether it's man or woman, your partner gotta be somebody

928
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: understands you and gotta keep you grounded, because we don't

929
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: make financial decisions just to make them, Like I know,

930
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: I ain't going to go buyd all of card. We

931
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: ain't making a decision on you know what I'm saying,

932
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 1: what we're doing together. So we already moved as one union,

933
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: and we was able to make millions together that way.

934
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: So I think when you out there doing separate ships,

935
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: you know how you coming the household and then chick

936
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: might come in there with five six thousand all to

937
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: no back coming from phips and you're like, damn, we

938
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: could have did something with that, you know what I'm saying.

939
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: And it only takes you know, depending on how much

940
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: you make, it only take three, you know what I'm saying,

941
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: to go investing yourself to go get a property, you know,

942
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: or twenty if you if you're doing a bank statement

943
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: loan I have. You know, you want to purchase a property,

944
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: But you could take your money that you you know,

945
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: your fifteen twenty thousand that you probably was gonna go

946
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: put on a rolex or whatever you was gonna do,

947
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: drop that into a property six seven months from now,

948
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: that property might jump sixties seventy thousand dollars. Go pull

949
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: that money out or just set a property, and you

950
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: then came up all way around almost a hundred grand

951
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: when you only invested you know what I'm saying, maybe dollars.

952
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: So you know, real estate is a patient play, and

953
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: I think for our culture that's one of the things

954
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: that we have the hardest time with because we want

955
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: to see our money in the bank. We don't know

956
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: how to like, if you got this ship in real estate,

957
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. If I'm ready to go tell

958
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: you I got thirteen fifteen houses, it's like having three

959
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: four million sitting in the bank account. It's the same way.

960
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: But when you understand and that you don't got to

961
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: trick yourself out to cash it out because money don't

962
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: have a nine in five, it ain't working for you.

963
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: It's just chilling. Your property is a nine in five

964
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: because it's actually growing equity on this So why you're

965
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: pulling your job is actually working. If you got a

966
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: bunch of cash just sitting, it ain't working unless you're

967
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: pitting it to work, you know what I'm saying. But

968
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 1: we want to go to our money and be like ship,

969
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: I got forty fifty. I'm gonna pull this sh it

970
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: out and go to the classy ship in my pocket. Nah,

971
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: when you talk to me, I'm gonna tell you about

972
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: my portfolio. Now. I got twenty cribs and I'm doing this,

973
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 1: and I'm doing that, and I'm doing this with my money,

974
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I can get around

975
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: the biggest rappers of anybody right now, and my portfolio

976
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: and what I built is strong enough to stand with

977
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: any of them, you know what I'm saying. So let

978
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: me ask all this. So in the midst of you

979
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: are frugality, do you guys have any vices? Oh? Yeah, Um,

980
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm honest, man. I think the most thing that I

981
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: had to deal with my advice was being honest with

982
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: myself when I came to Atlanta. You grow through so

983
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: much ship growing up in life. You think that's the

984
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: honest and you're supposed to be doing you know, you

985
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: don't never think you're doing wrong when you end it. Ship,

986
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, when you and it, it feels good.

987
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: I got the opportunity to be around, you know, another

988
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: family when I came to Atlanta, it was a Jewish family.

989
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: And what did that teach you? It taught me another

990
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: side because I've seen a guy send his kids to

991
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: college off of you know, cash rewards. You know, you

992
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: get your money back on your credit cards. So imagine

993
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: eighteen years right, you got a company giving you cash

994
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: rewards and you're taking it every month and deposit into

995
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: a savings account and that's your college, your kids college fund.

996
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: It's free money. So I was able to learn, you know,

997
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: opportunity and resources through what they was learning. So that

998
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: ship that I was brought up off of, Like, honestly,

999
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. In my family, we was we

1000
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: was blue collar workers, but we had ship that we

1001
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to have because we thought were supposed to

1002
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: have it. Like my family, my brothers, they all had

1003
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: business and ship growing up. But we might be making

1004
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: forty fifty thousand dollars a year and you got a

1005
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: hunting and twenty thousands of card. That ship don't add

1006
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: up you know what I'm saying. But we we taught

1007
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: them be good, me to look good and don't be good.

1008
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: So now I'm changing the narrative and being good while

1009
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: y'all pretending to look good. I'm actually good. You know

1010
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, even though you might not see it. Yeah, yeah,

1011
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody's smart, they know I'm good what

1012
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying this. But what I mean by it is

1013
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: like you everybody out here, like you got rappers, right,

1014
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: but then they got homeboys that look better than them.

1015
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: Why the fund are you dressed better than me? I'm

1016
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: getting paid for the show. Why are you spending five

1017
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: six thousand in the outfit? I'm getting the bag for

1018
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: the five or six thousand in. So that's what we

1019
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: gotta realize is don't waste it bag on something trying

1020
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: to keep up with the next man that's making hundreds

1021
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: and hundreds thousand dollars every other every time, you don't

1022
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: stand at you know what I'm saying, Competition got to

1023
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: stand your own lane and stand your financial lene. You

1024
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: gotta be real with yourself and cool with yourself. So

1025
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: I think that was something I really had to work

1026
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: on myself with because I've always been a dreaming. All

1027
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: my friends almost more time millionaires. Right, so I'm around

1028
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: all this ship. I see it all, but all it

1029
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 1: was doing was gearing me up for what I wanted

1030
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: more for myself. I didn't know hayting. I didn't know begging,

1031
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know asking. I got motivated. Let me be

1032
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: around so you can motivate me so I could be

1033
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: a better meet. That's all I ever asked any man

1034
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: for it. Let me get the motivation. Thank you. I

1035
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: got people on my phone right now. I might send

1036
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: a text mession to I just told DJ Dramma the

1037
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: other day. I tell you know, Drum, thank you for

1038
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: the motivation. Allow me have been around, bro. Let me

1039
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: see this throughout the years. Because now I see another

1040
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: black man do this ship, it makes me now be

1041
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: able to do it. It makes me more you know,

1042
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: believing myself to say, oh, I've seen you know the

1043
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: inside of Rick ross house, sea walking around I see

1044
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: living in the state. That's another black man that did it,

1045
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: or the same thing, vice versus with me. You know,

1046
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: when I was in the in the gas station, know

1047
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I was fortunate, you know, meet that

1048
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: the same thing you know, I'm now seeing you know,

1049
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: super mansions, different lifestyles, but this is stuff that you've seen,

1050
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, from a person that looked just like you

1051
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 1: from the same ghetto, is just like you. How can't

1052
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: you get motivated from that? And one more out of yourself?

1053
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: So my vice is, let's go pinky girls being totally transparent.

1054
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: I have a problem with turning it off sometimes. And

1055
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: when you say I get I know what you mean,

1056
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: but like for those are out there that might not

1057
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: get it quite yet, yea. So it's a blessing and

1058
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: a curse, right. So the blessing here is that it

1059
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: never feels like work for me, that I just love

1060
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 1: what I do. But the curse, hair is that sometimes

1061
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: it can impede on my relationships because I'm always just

1062
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: on I'm always thinking about the next way to take

1063
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: over the world all of the time, and finding balance

1064
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 1: is a little difficult at times. But in my world

1065
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 1: it's just like, well this is my balance, that's my reason.

1066
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: So like when you say, like, what is your vice,

1067
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here thinking like what do I do that?

1068
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: Like I do an access and it's like like I

1069
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: don't know how to cut my research light off, right, Like,

1070
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm always on the internet research and I always trying

1071
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: to figure it out. And maybe that is not a vice, right,

1072
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: Maybe the most successful people in the world do what

1073
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: I do. Right, Um, but do I do I need

1074
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: to find more balance? Somebody else probably would say yeah,

1075
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: But I mean it's a healthy vice for me. But

1076
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: it works because of the relationship though, because that's like

1077
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: if y'all like y'all doing the radio, it's like, yeah,

1078
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: you're significant that at home. Don't get that all right?

1079
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: If if I ain't doing ready, I still gotta work

1080
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: on the show. I still got ship to do. So

1081
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: the other person got to understand what you're doing. So

1082
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: when other person understand what you're doing to me, so

1083
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: a lot easier. She don't turn it off, but I

1084
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: don't turn it off. And when I'm halfway there, why

1085
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: I do gotta halfway off? She turned it back on

1086
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: for me, so we get back at it. So I

1087
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: think that's why it's easily. I don't think you could

1088
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: be with just anybody. Yeah, I'm not a two ter

1089
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: on Horner with Pinky Coo. I'm just being honest. She

1090
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: gonna worry, like and I'm that nigga. Either you're gonna

1091
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: get war out, bro, or you're gonna get motivated by

1092
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: it because like sometimes sexist building companies, Bro, you know

1093
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Of course, if we get it in.

1094
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: We got almost two babies in less than two years.

1095
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying to us that we'll be four

1096
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 1: or five in the morning, you know, building something. Yeah,

1097
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't have a turn off, Now you don't. That's

1098
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: probably like that. So I just recently had a kid

1099
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: in October, but that did Did the baby create a

1100
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: switch force? Because it definitely turned me off or saying

1101
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: like there's more to the world and hustling and entrepreneurship,

1102
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:30,479
Speaker 1: even even they called help, um and if we didn't

1103
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: have to help, then maybe, but we got help, and

1104
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: we got like real help, which I feel like every

1105
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: new mother should have, like and I don't feel guilty

1106
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: of getting that kind of help, right. I feel like

1107
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: when a woman has a baby, there should be somebody

1108
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 1: around her supporting her and helping her. I was the youngest.

1109
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even know how changed the diaper when I

1110
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: had my daughter. I'm being totally transparent, right, So my

1111
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: mother is really my saving grace outside of Derek obviously,

1112
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: but like she came in and make sure sure that

1113
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: everything that we need we got so that we can

1114
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: continue to build our empires because she knows that the

1115
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: work that we're putting in now was going to pay

1116
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: off later. So like, no nothing. And I tell women

1117
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: this all the time, Like I want to show people

1118
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: that you can be a mother, you could be a boss,

1119
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: you could be a partner to your spouse and be

1120
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: all of these things and still be beautiful all at

1121
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: the same time. And you can have it all and

1122
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to compromise, you know sometimes but people

1123
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: feel like the minute that you have a baby that

1124
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,919
Speaker 1: you gotta slow down. You gotta like I don't want

1125
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: to slow down, Like I want to be able to

1126
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: be a great mother and still be a great CEO.

1127
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: And you don't have to choose one. You can still

1128
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: be great at both of them as long as you

1129
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: have the support that you need. Remember when she just

1130
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: had the uh, the favorite of and they she want

1131
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: to take it to the hospital. I said, on the

1132
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: second one, you ain't gonna be doing like if you're

1133
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: gonna get used to it. You know, when the baby

1134
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: started teaching, you know, they started getting timbers and all that.

1135
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 1: Already got two kids. Yeah, I mean I'm telling yeah,

1136
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: but so I think you know you're going through all that,

1137
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: you know the next one to be, you know, even

1138
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: easier because kitchen is closed. Definitely, it ain't hiding the kitchen.

1139
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: No more bro y'all gotta be fither words for the

1140
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: Big Facts supporters and the slutty vegans supporters in the

1141
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: Big Dave Cheese stick supporters, we always like to give

1142
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: game of motivation before we run Big Facts. I started off,

1143
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: I'll let you close, pinky Um. I always tell people

1144
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: in life, it's not a track me, that's a marathon.

1145
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: It's all about how you end. So don't worry about

1146
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: the next man or next woman growing faster to you.

1147
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: Your game plan set so that you can end the race.

1148
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: That's all. It's about ending the race, crossing the line,

1149
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: no matter who finished, for as long as you finish it.

1150
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: So stop worried about you know what I'm saying, who

1151
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: running it up the most? Who getting the most success?

1152
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: Right now? Learning your ship so that you can now

1153
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: finish the race, because if you don't finish the race,

1154
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: then you ain't complete ship. And that's the best device

1155
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: I can give you. It's like almost like reading the

1156
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: book and not understanding the words. You can't just yeah,

1157
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: you can't just live your life to live. You gotta

1158
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: live for a purpose. And if you out here just

1159
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: living a living, you're wasting your life because every day

1160
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: is a clock ticking on. That motherfucking that was good. Yeah,

1161
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 1: um So. Mine is inspired by my favorite quote, which

1162
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: is a lyric from a rap song, and it goes

1163
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 1: something like this. You better leave yourself in the moment,

1164
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: the moment you own it. You better never let it go.

1165
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: You only got one shot. Do not miss your chance

1166
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: to blow because opportunity comes once in a lifetime. And

1167
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: that's that's eminadium. And anybody that knows me knows that

1168
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: I live and I die by that verse in that

1169
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: song because every single opportunity that I get, I sees it.

1170
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: I sees that moment because I know that it may

1171
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: never happen again. So when you stay ready, you ain't

1172
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: never got to get ready. When you're always prepared and

1173
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: always ready for that big opportunity, even if you don't

1174
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: see it at the distance, that one opportunity is going

1175
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: to come for you, and you ain't even gotta practice

1176
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: for it. You ain't got to prepare because you've been

1177
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: doing it. You've been practicing, you've been in the trenches.

1178
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: So utilize every single opportunity as as that moment so

1179
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: that when you get it, it'll all pay off. And

1180
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: that's what I've been doing for the last I'm teenth

1181
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: years and a part of the reason why I've been

1182
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: getting all of the success in my life because I

1183
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: utilize every single opportunity, big and small, as that one

1184
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: moment that's going to take me to the next level

1185
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: that's going to change the dynamic of my entire family.
