Speaker 7: I sure do?

130
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, I had a friend that I used to

131
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 8: be extremely close with, you know, one of those childhood friends,

132
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 8: and then we grew up and he started doing some

133
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 8: real grindy stuff, started trying to sleep behind my back

134
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 8: stuff like that. So me and my girl linked up

135
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 8: with his girl, had a good time, you know what

136
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 8: I mean, on the on the hub, and then uh yeah,

137
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 8: I mean, what is it?

138
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: What did he do to you? When you said he

139
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: started sneaking around? Like what was he doing?

140
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 8: So he was pretty much sliding in my girl dms

141
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 8: behind my back, pretty much telling her how it was

142
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 8: this guy that I wasn't and that was just my

143
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 8: little way of getting back at him, and she actually

144
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 8: came up with the idea, you know what.

145
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: Why did he think your girl wasn't going to tell you?

146
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 8: And that's what I was trying to figure out, because

147
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 8: at that time me and her had already been locked

148
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 8: in for a couple of years.

149
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to thank you.

150
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: That is so stupid. Why would your girl not tell you? Like,

151
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: did he think he.

152
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: Was that lit?

153
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 8: I guess he just thought he was that dude.

154
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: That how was everything with his girl?

155
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 8: She's a saying at this point, all right.

156
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not mad at you. I think all's fair

157
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: in love and war.

00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,240

Speaker 9: Have a great day you too.

162
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: What's up, Anonymous color? How are you?

163
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 9: Hey?

164
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 7: I'm good?

165
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 9: How are you, Angela?

166
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: I'm a good Thank you. You want to tell us a secret?

167
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, had been hitting me up, basically trying to get

168
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 9: with me for a few months. Uh huh, and I

169
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 9: have been denying him. So I basically told him that

170
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 9: if he paid me seven hundred dollars, I would do it.

171
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 9: And he was like, all right, I'll get you the money.

172
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 9: Da da da. So I get to his house, We're

173
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 9: about to do it. He could not get it up.

174
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 9: But what I did do is make sure I got

175
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 9: my money first, and I'm literally stay there for over

176
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 9: an hour trying to like work with him. He's like

177
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 9: moving this position, do this, do that, but nothing works.

178
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 9: But I got seven hundred dollars.

179
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: Now, why seven hundred dollars? What made you pick that number?

180
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 10: You know?

181
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 9: I tried to like bargain with him first. I wanted

182
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 9: a thousand, but he told me didn't have it. That

183
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 9: was kind of the most that I could get him to,

184
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 9: like break his bank, and he literally like went into

185
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 9: his faith and gave me like six hundred and cash

186
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 9: and the veil the rest. So it was kind of

187
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 9: like all I could get from him.

188
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Basically, have you spoken to him since?

189
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 9: You know, yeah, he wants to do like a second try,

190
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 9: but I'm like, fun.

191
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: He said, no, reads baby, it didn't work.

192
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 9: I'm like, ray, no, I don't think I would do

193
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 9: it again. But I definitely feel like the money that

194
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 9: I got in the situation, it was like, Okay, it

195
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 9: wasn't as bad as I thought it was.

196
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't have to do anything. Could have been

197
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: way worse.

198
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I wish Nna was there so I could tell him.

199
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm sure he's gonna I'm sure he's

200
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: gonna see this.

201
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you wish he was here

202
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: for that, because.

203
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,520

Speaker 3: Well, thank you for sharing. That was the easiest even

Speaker 9: Yeah, I thank you for not judging me.

207
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: No, that's the whole point of this.

208
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 9: It's no judgment, right exactly, So keep doing you and

215
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: Eight hundred fifty one fifty is a number just in

216
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: case you couldn't get through. All right, But now let's

239
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 11: You know, I've called you many a days and many

240
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 11: of nights, and it really is a dream come true.

241
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 11: So I'm just excited for everyone to be able to

242
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 11: try something that I've poured my whole heart into.

243
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: And another thing I want to touch on a lot

244
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: of times, I've had people ask me, well, you know,

245
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 3: I have kids, and how can I do what I'm

246
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: doing when I want to follow my passion, follow my dreams.

247
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: But I also have a child, and it's somebody going

248
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: to look at me differently if I you know, if

249
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: I have a small child at home.

250
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: It's different for women than it is for men.

251
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: And you were a young mother, what was that part

252
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: of it like for you, And what advice would you

253
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: give to moms out there who are really trying to

254
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: shine in their industry. But sometimes people can have some

255
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: type of preconceived notion.

256
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I was. I was a teenage mom.

257
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 11: I had my son at eighteen, and I think for me,

258
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 11: the biggest advice that I would give to women is

259
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 11: that having children is on a handcap and you have

260
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 11: to be confident in the way you show up in

261
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 11: the fact that you're a mother.

262
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: To whoever you're working with. You have to make them

263
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: comfortable with it.

264
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 11: And then again it goes back to if they're not,

265
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 11: then you have to make some decisions.

266
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 2: We do live in a world.

267
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 11: Where people still view you know, women with children, women

268
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 11: who are pregnant. I have a woman on my team

269
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 11: that's pregnant. I'm so excited about it. And I'm a

270
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 11: wife brand owner, right, you know.

271
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: What I mean.

272
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 11: I'm like, we're having a baby, you know, I'll take

273
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 11: it for you. Yeah, I'm like, give me wine, I'll

274
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 11: take it. And so I think for me, it's like

275
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 11: it's the real world. Women have babies. And imagine if

276
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 11: when women were pregnant or having babies, we didn't work,

277
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 11: we got to stay home and do nothing.

278
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: What would the world be So And by the way,

279
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: having baby is never staying home and doing nothing.

280
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a job, you know.

281
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 11: So I think for me, the advice would be, you

282
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 11: have to get very comfortable with the fact that you

283
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 11: are a mother and embrace it. I think sometimes our

284
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 11: discomfort also makes people uncomfortable. They don't really know how

285
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 11: to deal with it, so you just have to show

286
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 11: up as you are. I'm so grateful that I became

287
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 11: a mom. You know, at the time it seemed really,

288
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 11: really difficult, but it's been one of the things that

289
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 11: have really fueled me, and it's allowed me to connect

290
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 11: with young women because I'm able to say to young women,

291
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 11: you're gonna be fine.

292
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 2: It's part of my story.

293
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: Right now, I'm talking to the founder and creator and

294
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: CEO of I Best Wines and Grid Best. So let's

295
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: discuss this wine I Best Wines. Because this wine is

296
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: from South Africa. I don't think I've ever had wine

297
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: from South Africa before, So what inspired that? Because normally

298
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: we see France. Where else do we see wine coming

299
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: from Napa Vella.

300
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 11: Italy, Chile, New Zealand and now South Africa. And the

301
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 11: truth is South African wine has been around, but many

302
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 11: of us just discovered it. And so part of my

303
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 11: purpose with IBS Wines is to really shed a light

304
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 11: on such a beautiful wine region and such an under

305
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 11: I think represented wine region.

306
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: Man, I want to be clear, this is not just

307
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: a brand that you white labeled, that somebody came to

308
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: you and said, put your name on this, we're gonna

309
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: market this. You actually went to South Africa and basically

310
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: lived there. What was that process like?

311
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 11: It required a lot of courage, It required being okay

312
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 11: being alone. It also required for me to seek out

313
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 11: family and community there, and people embraced me. It's been

314
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 11: one of the best times of my life. It made

315
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 11: me stretch myself. Yes, I'm happy that I'm a black

316
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 11: woman from America, but I'm even more happy that I've

317
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 11: been around the world and I've been able to do

318
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 11: cool things like launch of wine from South Africa.

319
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: So this also required you to make sure that you

320
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: invested in yourself.

321
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: And how scary is that? It's very scary.

322
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 11: I am really fortunate that I made great business decisions

323
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 11: in my life. I invested in real estate, I've invested

324
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 11: in art stocks, and I was able to lean back

325
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 11: on those things in order to launch the brand. I

326
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 11: also have a good reputation, and I think your reputation

327
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 11: is equally as valuable as the money in your bank account,

328
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 11: because you can call people, you can lean on people,

329
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 11: and that's what I've been able to do. But I

330
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 11: have fully funded this myself.

331
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: Ingrid Best is here. We have more with her when

332
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: we come back.

333
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: She has quite the history and the spirit's business, and

334
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 3: now she has her own wine I Best Wines.

335
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: It's way up at Angela Yee.

336
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,800

337

Speaker 2: And I don't mind sharing my wealth dogs.

Speaker 4: Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth

339
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: Wednesday on way up with Angela Yee.

340
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: What's up? It's way up at Angela Yee.

341
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: I'm Angela Yee and Ingrid Best from I Best Wines

342
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: is in the building, and I just want to talk

343
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: about just even owning vineyards and wine companies, Like what percentage.

344
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this number at all,

345
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: but when you look in the space and from what

346
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: you've seen, you know, is it something that is still

347
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: not a very diverse field?

348
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: Can you give us any insight into that it's not?

349
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 11: I mean it's less than a percent. I believe less

350
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 11: than one percent. Yeah, of black and brown people own vineyards,

351
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 11: own wine brands, are producing wine brands. There is a

352
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 11: very very small percentage. Wow, it's changing and it will

353
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 11: continue to change. And that's why people like myself and

354
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 11: Done from Leafrette Rose and the McBride's sisters are doing

355
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 11: the work that we're doing right to say like this

356
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 11: is for us, we can be in this industry too.

357
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 11: I talk about that a lot because I think for

358
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 11: a long time black and brown people just didn't see

359
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 11: themselves in wine and they didn't didn't see themselves. And

360
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 11: so now you're seeing yourself through me.

361
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: So from concept to where we are now, where you're

362
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: launching this today. By the way, you can go ahead

363
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: and pre order that on Reserve Barr Yes, Reserve Boar

364
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: dot com. How long did this process take for you

365
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: to get to this point?

366
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: So two years?

367
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 11: But I always say it's been in my head, in

368
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 11: my heart for many, many years, and it's been two

369
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 11: of the best years of my life. And even though

370
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 11: I've slept the least I've ever slept, I've spent a

371
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 11: lot of my mind. I you know, have seen very

372
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 11: little of my family, who I adore. It has been

373
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 11: the best time of my life because there's something about

374
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 11: unlocking your courage. You know, when you unlock your courage,

375
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 11: you just feel so good, you feel so free.

420
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,560
