55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something you can get that. You

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: can just let that pot belly shine. Brother, you don't,

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: you're there's some things you can do that you ain't

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: gotta have that pressure. But if I let that pot

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: belly shine, my fitness card is gonna be removing, you

60
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm not gonna be the same

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: expert no more. I'm gonna be there. Say, you know

62
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: he's trying to get there, because that's part of you,

63
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: that that's so you all. You're walking bill absolutely without

64
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: a doubt. You know, when you've shot as many magazine

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: covers and photo shoots that I've done, I I put

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I did so much of that for so many years

67
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: that I don't want to put that stuff out on

68
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: social media any more. It's like if you google my name,

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: it's just like you just see this black guy. So

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: it's um, it's one of those situation where it's a

71
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: positive thing, but it could be a negative because sometimes

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: people won't won't be able to connect to relate to

73
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: you as well too. So basically you run into with

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot of models, run into people who were allowing there,

75
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: who gained fame through their beauty. You gain fame through

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: your body and so so so you're trying to define

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: yourself beyond absolutely with that doubt. Now when I post

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: on social media, I actually am trying to post less

79
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: image less images of my body and more of motivational

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: words and educational content. Once in a while. It's okay,

81
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: but I don't want to be that you know that

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: fitness cat that is eight times nine times a day.

83
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: You know of the abs or the well. I don't

84
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: do the butt by the way, but but like some

85
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: of the women, you know what I mean, It's like, look,

86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: your butt hasn't changed from two seconds ago, and your

87
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: abs haven't changed from two minutes ago. So it's a

88
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: healthy balance because you don't want to you don't want

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: to get attain the perception of someone who is absolutely

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: narcissistic and all you care about is yourself. But you're

91
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: not trying to help nobody, you know what I mean.

92
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: So what is your what is your training schedule as

93
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: far as how I work out or when I'm training people? Okay,

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: one minute left, they told me, so I I should

95
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: probably ask you on the other side because I know

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: that's because I'm gonna tell everybody my training is get

Speaker 1: back with more from Marsha McDonald. The money making conversations

113
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: don't touch that down. I guess the studio is. I

114
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: want to call my friend. Uh. He changed my life

115
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: with a book called The Cut that he co authored

116
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: with Hollywood UH Superstar calling superstar Morris Chesterna and UH.

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: I had them on my show. Here you guys on

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: my show in February, and I read the book and

119
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: I lost sixteen pounds and I've kept kept it off

120
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: it and Uh, in fact, were joking this weekend. I

121
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: was saying that it was such a good book for

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: me that I had to stop, you know, because I

123
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: would say, this is where I wanted to be because

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: what you did that book changed by eating habits. And

125
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: that's important when you want to go on a diet,

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: because a lot of dots you say, don't do that. Absolutely.

127
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: I think what's great is the fact that not only

128
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: did you lose weight, but you were able to gain

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: education to continue it without my help or without speaking anyone.

130
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. When you write a book,

131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: it's not only helping you lose the weight, but it's

132
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: also helping you create a to be cognizant of the lifestyle,

133
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: but also to educate yourself on what you can and

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: what you can't do. So if at the end of

135
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: the book, you know what to do after you've lost

136
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: the weight, and that's a beautiful thing. Now now you

137
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: know what to do. I can eat this, I can

138
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: eat that, I can wow. I can't wow. So, because

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: it's not all or nothing, if you go from the

140
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: all or nothing, you're not very very few people are

141
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: going to be successful. You have to have some moderation. Okay,

142
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: here's an example of what he's done for me. We

143
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: went in the ate lunch on Saturday, went to one

144
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta called Bronx and Bagels.

145
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: You go to that place and you gotta wait to

146
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: eat um. And they have what they call the big breakfast.

147
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: With the big breakfast comes a giant bagel and cream cheese.

148
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: I gotta sent them and raise and it comes with

149
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: two pancakes. It comes with two pant sauces, comes with

150
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: two eggs over easy with grits. He added a chicken sandwich,

151
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: real chicken sandwich. I'm looking at him, going do your thing, brother.

152
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. Normally only eight. Normally I would

153
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: have eaten both the entire bagels. Only ate one, you know,

154
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: because they cut in half. Normally I would have eaten

155
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: both pancakes. I kind of ate maybe maybe a quarter

156
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: of that. I ate one pant sausage, both by eggs,

157
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: some of the grits. That is what you trained me

158
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: to say. Are you continually consuming all this food when

159
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: you don't need it? Exactly? And so what would in

160
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: the past? And I and I did it automatically. Ill

161
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: it was. It was funny because I didn't do it

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: because I was trying to impress you. It's in my

163
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: brain now, is it is my mantra now? And I

164
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: walked out of the restaurant feeling good about myself. And

165
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: so that's what the cut has done for me, And

166
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: that's what you've been doing for people's lives even before

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: social media. Correct. Absolutely, I mean I love what I do.

168
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: The ability to be able to help someone to be healthy,

169
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: to be able to inspire and motivate people from a

170
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: health and wellness perspective, because when you're healthy, when you're fit,

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: the amount of confidence it gives you to go about

172
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: to be successful in your life, to be able to

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: be to be able to be desirable for your spouse,

174
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: to be able to be uh, to be able to

175
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: have a confidence to play with your kids. It it

176
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: literally goes with every part of your life in terms

177
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: of your fitness level. People think that when you go

178
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: to an interview, to have a confidence to be in

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: that interview, to project yourself off in a positive way.

180
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: So the whole health and wellness thing, it literally connects

181
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: with every single part of your life. So I feel

182
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: blessed that I have that ability to do that. Well.

183
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: I feel fortunate I was able to read that book

184
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: and change my life because you know a lot of

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: people look at me going you didn't need to lose weight.

186
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Yes I did, Yes I did. Because it has caused

187
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: me to you know, the change the wardrobe too, because

188
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: you lose sixteen powers. It does change a lot of

189
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: things in your especially your waistline. And then that you know,

190
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I lost all my little behind, whatever little behind I

191
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: had is gone. And so she laughs, she grabs back

192
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: that I leave it alone. I'm happy I'm not getting

193
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: it back, okay. And so those are the things that

194
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: the conversations that we have. And so so when you

195
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: look at the life that you develop, a career that

196
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: you developed in the celebrity fitness because you've been on

197
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: a number of shows. Uh so you bed you're you're

198
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: the number one social media influencer in the world. But

199
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: there wasn't always social media with you. Well before social media.

200
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: You you had to get in fitness magazines. You had

201
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: to be able to you had to be at a

202
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: right for different fitness sites. If you weren't on TV

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: and you weren't in magazines, you didn't exist. I mean

204
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day flying to a different

205
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: country all my own dime just to see if I

206
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: can get in that magazine, to create a platform for myself.

207
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, it was all about face to face, shaking

208
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: the person's hand, actually having some type of personality that

209
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: whole feel and touch things. So now with social media,

210
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that no more. And also

211
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: back then it was so competitive because you had some

212
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: of the fitness and best looking people that were competing

213
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: against you to try to get in that magazine. And then,

214
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: by the way, at that time, they weren't putting black

215
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: people on cover unless you were a crossover entertainer. So

216
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I had to deal with that. And when I came

217
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: in the game over ten years ago, they were talking

218
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: about black covers don't sell. So I basically most of

219
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: my my I said, the first temper cent of my

220
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: magazine covers were in Australia, we're in the UK because

221
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: they didn't care about that. And then once I proved

222
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: that I could sell and they gave me an opportunities

223
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: a writer than the You're not than the magazines in

224
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the United States started giving me the opportunities. So I

225
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: had success before social media. Social media, in my opinion,

226
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: is so much easier because now you can control your

227
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: own platform and you can create your own opportunities. Now

228
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: magazines are are are hitting up social media influences. You

229
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: know what, I want to use your platform now as

230
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: opposed to you're going up there and begging for an opportunity.

231
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: So it's easier now and it allows more people to

232
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: be in the game as opposed to waiting. And that's

233
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: why I wanted to bring that up because the power

234
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: or the brand of social media. A lot of people

235
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: complain why the Kardashians on so many magazine because they

236
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: say all magazines there's a saying, and you know this,

237
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: you can't hate the player, hate the game. You know

238
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: you got you know, people can talk smack about them,

239
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: but they're destroying it. They're killing it. When you see

240
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: an old girl on the cover of Fortune Magaze zeene yo,

241
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: she's she's a she's a player, she's a major player

242
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: in the game. You know that they're what they've done

243
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: brandon wise, business wise, their mother being the manager who's

244
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: been influential. It's it's genius, absolutely. And that's why when

245
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I talk on this show about being an entrepreneur, about

246
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: a brand, about being able to cross over, and the

247
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: thing about it is that but you went with it,

248
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, like you wouldn't have get over there complaining.

249
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: You say, how can I benefit from this new format

250
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: and amount of world how much? How often do you

251
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: post and how much time? Because I know your big

252
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: format is Twitter. Absolutely surprised doing when when you're doing

253
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: the book to remorse, your Instagram accounts started taking off,

254
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: absolutely without a doubt. Well, the thing about it with

255
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: me was that with with social media, what I did

256
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: was I just invested in a a top social media

257
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: company that really helped to bring up my influence on

258
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: Twitter and social media. I always believe that what you

259
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: don't know, just outsource it, you know, as opposed to

260
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: going in there and trying to you know, trying to

261
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: figure it out and stuff. So, UM, I understood that. Um.

262
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: I think the one of the the reasons why that my

263
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: influence on Twitter has been so high. As far as hashtag,

264
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: I was one of the first people to use hashtags. Okay,

265
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: and the social media company told me these are the

266
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: most popular hashtags. To do this every day, and I

267
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: started to do it and do it and do it.

268
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: And after you know, several years of doing it, the

269
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: hashtag IFI saying that, you know, I've attained billions of

270
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: impressions because I'm consistently using hashtags and when people go

271
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: into these hashtags, I'm the first. I'm the first thing

272
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: that they see and they're go and read my content,

273
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, and so, um, my engagement may not be

274
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: as high, but the analytics show that people are reading

275
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: my stuff. So is there a book in your future? Oh? Well,

276
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: you know what, That's probably why I came out of here.

277
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: You you know, because I say that, because you get

278
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: a book with Mars okay, and I know that was

279
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: a that was a union experience because he was a

280
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: celebrity who lost a lot of weight for a popular movie.

281
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: And I know you really want to do a book

282
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: about for women. I really want to do a book

283
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: where I'm really talking to women all of their insecurities,

284
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: all of their weak points that they struggle with. I

285
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: want to be able to say, ladies, this is for you.

286
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,280
