And but now you know I was 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: I would like to go back to people when they 64 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: get started with these thoughts because I'm African American. I 65 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: grew up in inner city and all I had was dreams. 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: What inspired you to be to to St. Louis is cool? 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: But I want to do better. Two women, my grandmother 68 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: and my godmother. Grandmother was a paraplegic. Godmother was a 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: maid and a janitor. Uh. Two women with very limited education, 70 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: very very limited money, but heart. You know, they had 71 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: a lot of heart. They had a lot of love. 72 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: They raised me and my brothers, and they taught me 73 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: some values that you know, serve you well. Whether you're 74 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: in New York, St. Louis, Los Angeles, rors it doesn't matter. Uh. 75 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: Some of those values that UH that instilled in me 76 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: in a young age have stuck with me and have 77 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: been really the motivating for us, but behind everything that 78 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: I've accomplished in my life professionally, and then you share 79 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: this in public speaking. Correct. I talked about it all 80 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: the time because I like you, Rashana. I think it's 81 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: important that people know where you come from. Sper times 82 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: and entertainers and athletes and successful people. We just see 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: the shiny, glossy them, you know, we see the Instagram 84 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: pictures where everything is perfect hair makeup, that you know 85 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: that they got the whip, they got everything going for them, 86 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: But we don't get to see the hard work, you know, 87 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: the obstacles, the challenges, uh that got them where they are. 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: So I always like to remind people, you know, don't 89 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: look at me where I am. Now, learn a little 90 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: about where I started from, because that's what I think 91 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: will motivate someone who feels like they can't get from 92 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: point A to point B because it seems so far off, 93 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: it seems so overwhelming. But when you know that people 94 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: you admire and look up to start it off. Most 95 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: of us, many of us, you know, no silver spoon, 96 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: was no you know, legacy admission to Harvard, you know, 97 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: no uh, recommendation letters from my uncle that had been there, 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, two generations before me. So I think people 99 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: need to know that. So I'm proud of it, you know, 100 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this story. I did a book 101 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: signing the same w with some making ring and I 102 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: grew up in a housing project called the Car Square Village. 103 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: It was a woman that came up to me after 104 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: that book signed, She said, a Revie had been so 105 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: embarrassed to ever tell anyone I grew up in the 106 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: car Square. But tonight, when I heard you on that 107 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: stage in front of this predominantly white audience at a 108 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: college in the suburbs of saying, well, she says, when 109 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: I heard you talk so proudly about growing up there, 110 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: she says, I'll never ever denied where I came from, 111 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and I will talk openly about that. This woman is 112 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: a successful nurse. She was in a medical professional and 113 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: she says she and her sister basically denied where they 114 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: grew up, but hearing me talk about it so proudly 115 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: gave her, in some ways permission to, you know, share 116 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: her background. So that's that's what I hope I do 117 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: by sharing my story, is give other people permission to 118 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: talk about whatever it is that they had to overcome 119 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: to get where they are today. We know the interesting 120 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: thing about sharing, you know, because I was managing Steve 121 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: all those years of just hearing him just lay his 122 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: story out to the general public, and that was difficult. 123 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: You know, not everybody knows social med. You can't hide anything, 124 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: so you might will share because you know how much 125 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: money you make and they're gonna google your house, you know, 126 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: right right right then social Security? Now if you're carefully 127 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: to know that too, so so you know, because we 128 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: all are. This is what I take away from your personality. Okay, 129 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: very well, very very well educated, very well spoken, but 130 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: there's an edge in your personality where you really do 131 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: understand where you came from, and you're not you're not 132 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: afraid to admit that. That's how I am. I'm from 133 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: fifth Ward, Texas, you know, to bear Room, shotgun house, 134 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: six uster, two brothers. My father was a truck driver, 135 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: had a third grade education. My mom graduated from high school. 136 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: That was that was That was my resume. And I 137 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: will tell people that and not just to let everybody 138 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: know that I'm not special. That's first of all. I 139 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: want to just lay that out there. I'm not special. 140 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: Because I've been in environments where people look at me 141 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: like I'm unique, and they look at me like, oh, 142 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: you're different from them, and that's what those are stereotypes. 143 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: But I understand that you, truly, I have a clean 144 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: understanding that there's a success lane and there's an everyday lane, 145 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: and you you balance both of them, because absolutely, you're right, 146 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: we're not. I definitely don't feel specialize. What I tell 147 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: people is I just go to work. The joke in 148 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: my house is mom and my husband say, I think 149 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: the answer to every problem is another job, right right, 150 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: right right, the craziest in the family. And my first 151 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: question is do they have a job? Do they have 152 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: a second job? And so that's kind of a running 153 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: joke there. Like Mom, the answer to everything is not 154 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a job, I says, well, it'll solve a lot of problems, 155 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: trust me. And it's called multiple stretes of income. And 156 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: it also allows you to understand that you're not you're 157 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: not uh, you're not linked to somebody else's success or failure. 158 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: If you're deciding all your overall income by by several platforms, 159 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: and that's what you're doing right now. Because I wanted 160 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: because I want to slide over to we're gonna talk 161 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: about because I got two breaks with you. We're gonna 162 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: talk about the TV show. But you have so much 163 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 1: and I get a guess, like you're on the show. 164 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: Your journey in entrepreneurship, your journey and education, your background 165 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: enables me to say I want them to hear a 166 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: full scope.

That's what money making conversations about. I got 170 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: to had to get you on this show to talk 171 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: and talk about that book. Talk about that book. Well, 172 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: I'm excited about Making Rain. You're right. It was published 173 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: by the Shed Book Group in March. It's a national 174 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: best seller. It hit the top of a ton of 175 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: best sellers list when it came out. It's been doing really, 176 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: really well. I traveled the country from March till about 177 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: literally just September, doing book events with hundreds sometimes styles 178 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: of people. I did Urban League, I was at a 179 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: conference of public administrators. I've been at a ton of 180 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: women empowerment confer when sin is including a wonderful conference 181 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: in Malwa. Had been to Chicago St. Louis. I'm talking 182 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: about how amazing it is this this is my third 183 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: book and my second book. I sat in bookstores Rashan 184 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: with like two people, people praying, like, you know, trying 185 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: to play it off like I really wasn't doing a 186 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: book signing when nobody showed up, and I'm just I'm 187 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: so blessed. And I tell this story because I tell people, 188 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, I was told on my second book that 189 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: I would never get a third book deal because my 190 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: second book, although a wonderful book, it it wasn't position right, 191 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't marketed properly, and it didn't sound well. And 192 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: so this book, I had a totally different approach to 193 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: how I was going to get out and reach people. 194 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: And one of my ways was, you know, going to 195 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: where people are not sitting in the bookstore hoping somebody 196 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: would show up. But I actually went to conferences wherever 197 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: already gonna be hundreds and hundreds of people so that 198 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: I could make sure I connected with folks. But but 199 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: this book has been a labor of love for me, 200 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: talking about how I use the media to grow my 201 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: own practice, my own legal practice, how I've used the 202 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: media to go from being an unpaid death expert to 203 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: uh someone who now has multiple contracts with networks in 204 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: the media. And just how you can you know, find 205 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: your brand and amplify your don't forget the talk show now, 206 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, when you have so much to 207 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: talk about, you need a hype man like ra Sean 208 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: McDonald to remind you. I'm a hype man. This is 209 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: the show. Many main conversation is your hype man show? Now? 210 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: The title of the book? Now that that I love 211 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: that title? Okay, were there in discussions? Were discussions about 212 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: that title, because it really is about the title of 213 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: the book. Was like a lady to think like a man. 214 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: We sold three million copies. Much debate on that title 215 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: when we when we were putting it together. So I know, 216 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: a title can do a lot for a book and 217 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: also can explain the direction of a book. And I 218 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: thought it just fit with this book so well. So 219 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: tell us how you came up with that title and 220 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: associated with this book. Well, I'll tell you that I 221 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: got a lot of pushback. You know, sometimes publishers get 222 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: a little you know, get a little answers, little hansitant 223 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: because making rain, if you google it, you may get 224 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: some strip club, might people throw our money up in 225 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: the air. But I was okay with that. I was like, great, 226 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: that just means the title is already out of the 227 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: university because I wasn't afraid of it, because I knew 228 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: when you looked at my picture, you're gonna see I 229 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: wasn't a stripper. That's okay, But I love you. That's 230 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That 231 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: that independent nature of yours. You know, you can keep 232 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: it regular and you keep it successful, but you're so 233 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: confident in yourself. You're very confident in yourself, you know, 234 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: and that means that you'll I'm gonna slide a little bit, 235 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back. But that means that your husband 236 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: has to be stronger. But it hasn't have a strong 237 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: personality too.

It's 371 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: a way more intimate and private setting than in a 372 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: hotel where you book a hotel room here and there 373 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: and you're not really together.

She's the general manager at Aliso or LLC 379 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: as the Villa Hotels. Uh Now, you based in Miami, 380 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: Florida or their locations all over the country, all over 381 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: the world. But I know I met you in Miami, Florida. 382 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: Let me just give you a little background when I 383 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: say I met her, um, my daughter, Um was graduating 384 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: from high school out of Florida, and so we invited 385 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: the entire family down there to UH watch to graduate. Well, 386 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 1: we needed a place to sleep because I had a grandmother, 387 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: I had sister in laws, I had their kids, and 388 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: it was amazing. It was amazing. Uh, the experience was fantastic. Uh. 389 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: The accommodations were over or in the private pool attached 390 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: to it, and I can watch that. I can look 391 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: at the water right right outside about doorway. And I 392 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: thought it was reasonable when you can when you consider 393 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: all that money would have spent on a hotel on 394 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: the hotel, and that's what you're talking about right here. 395 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: Don't don't be don't just don't let the price scare you. 396 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: But if you have a family reunion or high school union, 397 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: know you want to take a bunch of friends to 398 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: a location instead of just spending all that money in 399 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: the hotel room, you still gonna get the hotel relationships. 400 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: Let me finish telling your story because I don't want to. 401 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: I just want to let them know our relationship so 402 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: they can understand. I'm coming from a participant and not 403 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: just something I just read about. I was floored by 404 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: the accommodations. I thought the price was very reasonable. And 405 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: my family plans on coming back. Oh, I hope your 406 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: family is going to come back. We had a good 407 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: time with your family, so you know the price is 408 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: not that scary if you think about going to Miami, 409 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: um and just spend the money on a hotel and book, 410 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: I think you were about twelve family members there or 411 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: even more. You know, a house like this can cater 412 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: up to twelve to fourteen people. So if you book, 413 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: if you book a hotel and you need about seven 414 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: eight bedrooms, the price is going to be almost the 415 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: same as in a private hotel, private villa. So it 416 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: is not that scary. Maybe it's it's a little bit 417 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: too high for only two people traveling or maybe three people, 418 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: but if you have a family gathering or bigger group, 419 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: I think it's a very reasonable price. And with this, 420 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: you know, with the amenities and services that you're getting, 421 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: and you know, you you gather at the hotel, at 422 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: the villa as a family, and it's not You're not 423 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: surrounded by a lot of strangers. That's what I met 424 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: with intimate. That's very intimate. You can eat together, you 425 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: can have a barbecue together, which I think you had 426 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: at that time, and it's just like a very memorable, 427 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: you know environment. It's not I'm not surrounded by other people. 428 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: That's what I loved about it. I loved about the 429 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: fact that first of all, let's let's go back, you know, 430 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: let's let's go back and talk about I don't want 431 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: to think that people are just limited to Miami mix areas. 432 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: Let's talk about other locations that you have.

You know, you see the 678 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: lining is matching, you see the plant is it's coordinating. 679 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: You know, it's different from from all of frights. So 680 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: you know where where they just are cut five hundred, 681 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: one thousand suits at the same time. But the customs suit, 682 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, we'll make this one at a time and 683 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: you have to wait for custom suit. You know, everything 684 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: that is good, you know what we're waiting for. Let 685 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: me tell let me say something about that because a 686 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, prices are our suit today 687 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: and some people don't think that's a new suit fifteen 688 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: years old, ten years old. That's what you get when 689 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: you buy a custom suit and long term quality and 690 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: so so over that same period, you know, you may 691 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: buy maybe four or five suits. I'm still wearing the 692 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: same suit because it was designed for my body. See, 693 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,439 Speaker 1: when you're going to a store, they have a suit 694 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: on the rack, and then they're gonna they're gonna they're 695 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: gonna start messing with the structure of the suit to 696 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: fit your body. So as they start messing with the 697 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: structure of the suit, the suits damaged. I don't care 698 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: what they tell you. The suits have been damaged now 699 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: because of the fact that you have to they have 700 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: to do. There's just so many different ways you have 701 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: to shape that. If you're a customer suit, it's fitted 702 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: to your body and so it lays correctly, and it 703 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: lasts a long time, and it's lays in your crow chair, 704 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: your back. If you don't want pockets in the back, 705 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: like I don't want suits with pants.

Thank you for 880 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 1: coming to my show. Please because of the fact that 881 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: when you hear about families about what you said, divorce, 882 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: divorce rats about in this country, So your story is 883 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,240 Speaker 1: not unusual story, but your story is unusual because guess 884 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: what you decided to, uh, create a relationship with the 885 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,439 Speaker 1: person that that was no longer a part of your life, 886 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 1: the father your child? And why was that? What was 887 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 1: that important? And it's a lot of things you want 888 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: to talk about once slow down. I read your book, 889 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,720 Speaker 1: incredibly good book, because because I read books that this, 890 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: this won't be no generic conversation. So if I if 891 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: I read some quotes now, you might have to squitch. 892 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did right there. I did right there, 893 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 1: because it's important that people understand the value what you're 894 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: trying to say, because we hear so many stories about 895 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, especially you know, you have a young son, 896 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 1: and I think it's important at that young song maintained 897 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 1: that that that that that male figure in his life. 898 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: Now in doing this process and getting there, was that 899 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 1: important to you maintaining the male figure in his life 900 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: or just creating a positive relationship overall for your son 901 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: that your head, Well, those are two extremely important parts 902 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: of it, you know. Number one, I didn't want to 903 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: walk around being a miserable, unhealthy, emotionally disabled person for 904 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: the rest of my life. So I felt like I 905 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: needed to heal the relationship between myself and my ex husband. UM. 906 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's very important for women to understand that 907 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: that is possible and that it is necessary if you 908 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: want to be a fully present, happy, healthy human being. Um. 909 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 1: And then number two, of course, and this isn't in 910 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: order there equally very important. But I really wanted my 911 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: son to feel at peace in his life with his 912 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: family and his parents. And I wanted it to be 913 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: more more than just co parenting when you just you 914 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: dropped your kids off and you wave at the parents 915 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: and you like go about your way and there's no sincerity, 916 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: there's no human emotion involved. I wanted him to see 917 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: us coexisting is two people that love him and that 918 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: want the best for him. So I made a conscious 919 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 1: decision to make that happen. I spoke to my ex husband, 920 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 1: I told him what we needed to do for our child, 921 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: and that was the beginning of the journey. Now, a 922 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: lot of crying in this book, a lot of emotional tuggy. 923 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: What's in this book? I read? And I think that's 924 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: where and I in in some worrids. I felt I 925 00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:02,240 Speaker 1: felt sad because who you are, beautiful young lady, beautiful child, 926 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 1: have a life that you expected. You know, when people 927 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: get married, they expect to stadium. Nobody gets married to 928 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: say I'm out of here in a year. You get 929 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: married to be last for a long time. And when 930 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: you start talking about your background, you know which we 931 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: were talking about in more detail, you know that wasn't 932 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 1: that wasn't the life that was shown you. You wanted 933 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 1: to be in a uh, this this format for forever. 934 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: So when you when you started changing? Did you start 935 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: changing when you start seeing that, hey, this is not 936 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,800 Speaker 1: gonna last. Because that's why I wanted to talk about 937 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: because you know a little bit about because you know, 938 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: this is being played out in front of your child, 939 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: and then the divorce is being played out in front 940 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 1: of your child, and then the resolution to hey, let's 941 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 1: fix this so our child can have a healthy life 942 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 1: between the two of us. Talk to me about that. Well, 943 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, of course, we we um we enter a relationships, 944 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,319 Speaker 1: you know, we fall in love or we create these 945 00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: bonds with people, and we expect the most. We expect 946 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 1: longevity and we expect you know, a certain level of communication. 947 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: But people don't realize is that when you're young, that's 948 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: impossible because you can't. You can't expect those things from 949 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: someone who who doesn't even know themselves yet, you know, 950 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: so you have two kind of um And what I 951 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: had to do to get to this point also is 952 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: to let go, to let go of those expectations, let 953 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: go of all the ideas images that I created of 954 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: what a beautiful family is supposed to be, and really 955 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: just accept where I was at in my life with 956 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: my my ex husband and his new wife and and 957 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 1: my our child, because that was the reality. And the 958 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: expectations are pretty much just an illusion when you think 959 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: of it, because you can't control that. You know, it's 960 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: completely out of your hands. And to get to that 961 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,399 Speaker 1: place where it's okay and you surrender and you just 962 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: allow life to be what it is, you have to heal. 963 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of healing that goes into that, a 964 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: lot of checking your ego and and really just living 965 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: and letting other people live. You know, you have to 966 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: respect everyone's journey. And it sounds easy coming out of 967 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 1: my mouth, but there's a lot of pain in the 968 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: book because it's not easy. It's a very painful process. 969 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like playing let's tug the war 970 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: with somebody you're you're pulling. You're pulling and they're pulling, 971 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: and everybody's pulling, and you're exhausting yourself, you're sweating. It's 972 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: like constant negative energy and being touched around. But the 973 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: moment you let go, there's a certain freedom. You know, 974 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: there's a there's a there's a release, and you have 975 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 1: to appreciate those moments of tugging because if you don't 976 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 1: have that contrast, you'll never be able to appreciate when 977 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 1: you let go and all the beauty that comes in that. 978 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: That's really where blending begins. Yeah, I wanted to start 979 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: the interview off we're just talking to you, before I 980 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 1: started mentioning who are the other players in this? Because 981 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: I think that some people, when they don't hear the 982 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: story in the natural format and you put the celebrity 983 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 1: names up front, they might disconnect and not here that 984 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: you just you, just like everybody else who got a 985 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 1: divorce in the end. In in the end, you know 986 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: you're not. When people get the divorce, they realize there 987 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: might be certain price tax tied to it, but it's 988 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 1: still somebody said, this relationship needs to end, we need 989 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: to walk its up with directions. But guess what, we 990 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 1: have a child that's s that's the defining moment of 991 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 1: fixing it right, of getting it right. If you were 992 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: just no child involved, you just going but your business, 993 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 1: just go partying. But that child is the key because 994 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: I would tell people I have a child, that child 995 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 1: and asked to come into this world. Okay, you fight 996 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,960 Speaker 1: that child into this this world with the expectation that 997 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,799 Speaker 1: you're going to create a life that's gonna make that 998 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: that that young man a young lady successful in so 999 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: many ways beyond your lifestyle, because that's all you want. 1000 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:08,840 Speaker 1: And kids, you you don't want the two things you 1001 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: don't want to out You want to outlive your child. 1002 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: You want your child outlive you, and you want them 1003 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: to have a better life than you had. Those are 1004 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: the goals you want for your child. And that's how 1005 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,720 Speaker 1: that's why you're bringing into the world and you cheer 1006 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: and you're so happy when you have a healthy baby 1007 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 1: because it was a miracle to have a healthy child. 1008 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: Know that it's not something that a lot of people 1009 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: take it for granted, and it's not You should not 1010 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: take that for granted. And the celebrities that were involved 1011 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 1: in this was Swiss Beats and Alicia Keys and uh, 1012 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 1: and that's I have to bring that up because you know, 1013 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 1: you became you, you became part of the tablauds. You know, 1014 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,720 Speaker 1: like when your child was born and ESSs was posting 1015 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: nice pictures and everything about their marriage relationship, and then 1016 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 1: the divorce happened. Then there was a different play on 1017 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: your relationship with the media. Can you expound on that? 1018 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: You know, well, any time celebrities are involved, there's um 1019 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:11,320 Speaker 1: there's room for sensational tabloids and headlines, and the media 1020 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: takes that and they've run with it, and that's what 1021 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 1: they feed off of. And it's a sad culture that 1022 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 1: we live in because people in the media wouldn't much 1023 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 1: prefer to glorify something that's negative than to acknowledge and 1024 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 1: and give respect to something that's positive. So Ego plays 1025 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: into that a lot. And there was a moment in 1026 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: our separation and divorced we are we all played into it, 1027 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 1: you know. We we gave interviews, I gave interviews. You know, 1028 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 1: we used Twitter and all these different platforms is a 1029 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,319 Speaker 1: way to voice our opinions and it just turned into 1030 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: a disaster. You're very savvy, You're very savvy person, your 1031 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: social media influencer.
