00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

11

Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: Africa is one of the few.

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 4: It's a continent broken up, but it's really we look

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: at it as a country US as African Americans, like

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: I think of Africa, I don't think of it as countries.

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: I think of it as a bunch of states, but

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: it should be a country. We're gonna talk about group economics.

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: Imagine if Africa had one currency. But just understanding that,

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 4: you know the complexities of Africa, even Nigeria two hundred

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 4: and seventy million people.

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: The oil comes from there.

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 4: You know, I had a great understanding of Nigeria when

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: I went twenty nineteen. The oil that comes from Africa,

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: but they have no refineries. They export their oil and

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 4: then they.

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: Buy back gas.

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: Because they don't have refineries, they can build the infrastructure

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 4: with their wealth. That let me know everything I needed

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: to know in terms of all I know exactly what's

35
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: going on.

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: Oh there we go, yep, yep. Yeah, yes, shows the music.

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 5: So first and foremost, you want to think Warden for

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 5: having us. This is something that we definitely don't take lightly.

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 5: You know, It's been a tremendous journey for us and

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 5: this is another milestone that we get to, you know,

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 5: check off the bucket list.

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 6: So this is gonna be fun. And to deal with

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 6: these guys.

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: We've been talking for the last hour, so this is

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 5: gonna be a definitely fun conversation for sure. But before

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: we want to start, just wanting to say thank you.

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: Really appreciate it, all right, so let's let's get into it.

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: You guys want to say anything before we start.

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: I mean you, I'm just in the presence of greatness.

50
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: So yes, no, thank you all.

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: That's all.

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: Just thank y'all for allowing us to be here. We

53
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: want to have a great conversation. Hopefully you take something

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: from this. But most importantly, I know we say this

55
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 4: a lot and it sounds cliche, like we let's all connect,

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: let's find a way for us to build.

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: You know, I have a lot going on, and there

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: will all this being recorded. I'm not sure if you

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: know this. There are there are some job openings.

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 4: That's that's all I'm trying to say without saying I'm

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: gonna fire people.

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: Clapping up a job opening. It's like Oprah, a new Oprah.

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: You got a job, got a job, got a job,

64
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: the whole I love that shout out to the cadets.

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: They got a job.

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 6: For sure. It's a lot of cadetsing here. I don't

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 6: know where I was at getting ready for war.

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 5: Hopefully not perhaps not maybe hopefully, So let's get into it.

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 5: I know we're going to, you know, ask each other questions.

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 5: But I want to ask you guys a question. How

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: did this partnership come together? You guys obviously, you know

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: played in the league and that's a brotherhood, but now

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: you have a different brotherhood in business and then you

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: know new age media communications.

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 6: So how did this partnership come together with you guys?

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: Well, I mean he's he's a great storyteller in terms

77
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: of like how we actually met. And so I'll do

78
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: terror Tino style. I'll go later and then he'll go

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: back in time. But essentially, you know, with the media part,

80
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 4: you know, we we have such similar you know, viewpoints

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: of the world and the things we see, but I

82
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: think we speak to it differently, and I think it's

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 4: it's communicated to the masses, you know. I have, you know,

84
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: the folks that I can speak to, and then he

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: has the folks that he can speak to, and we

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: feel like we can cover a lot of ground. But

87
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: what we were seeing is just only your own ip

88
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: and understanding the power behind it, you know. Growing up,

89
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: I think all we had was Bob Johnson and b E. T.

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: And there's been a lot of conversation behind that in

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 4: terms of you know, jay Z's doing it now. You

92
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 4: know we're building up our own properties. You know, we

93
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: were talking about Rihanna and Finti outside, we talked a

94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: lot of NBA athletes with underwear lines. We talked about

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: the skims deal with the NBA, and I've had a

96
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: lot of conversation. We can talk about this later in

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: terms of what do we do with those properties once

98
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: we build them up, because there's a lot of the

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: feedback can be negative sometimes if we sell it. But

100
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: then I also heard isn't that the purpose to IPO?

101
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: And I think you've done an incredible job of enlightening

102
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: your listeners, which is our community in terms of participating

103
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 4: in public companies, and so yes, we should go out

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: and reap the fruits of our labor in terms of

105
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: what we're building. But when we do go public, like

106
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: our people can participate and that's how you sell it,

107
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: you know, And so there's not that negative connotation from

108
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: behind it coming from that And so with us too,

109
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: we have conversations like this all the time, and that's

110
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: why we chose to go out. And as you know,

111
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 4: I have a deal with ESPN and ETS had deals

112
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: that he's done in the media space, and so we

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: can use those platforms to leverage to raise our profile.

114
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: But then we have our own property that we can

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: go out and we can try to scale and go

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: deeper into our conversations and to our listeners and kind

117
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: of give them some insights on on our minds and

118
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: how we got to where we are having success, not

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: just on the court, but off the court.

120
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 7: And just to go further into that. You know, myself

121
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 7: and Jury we met like back in nine, so he

122
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 7: was in the league. I was getting ready to go

123
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 7: into my last year at college and join the league.

124
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 7: So when I walked into the gym at UH in Chicago,

125
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 7: we were able to you know, join a make a friendship.

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 7: A year later, I get drafted to the six series.

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 7: I was his rookie, and uh, you know, he was

128
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 7: a vet to me. So we kind of had our

129
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 7: ups and downs as being nice, very very kind of rookie,

130
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 7: and you know, our first five or six months was

131
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 7: kind of rocky, but eventually we realized we were kind

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 7: of the same in the the same mindset, and I

133
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 7: think that's where the friendship grew. So once he left

134
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 7: Philly and we went through our career, we stayed connected

135
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 7: and stay locked and over time I got offers for

136
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 7: different UH media outlets and different shows. But I really

137
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 7: just took my time to really, uh try to formulate

138
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 7: it and make it the most organic. And I think

139
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 7: the number one thing is trying to find people who

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 7: you relate to and most importantly, who support you. And

141
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 7: uh that's how Point Forward started. And uh, you know,

142
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 7: just for myself after being in Philly such a tough

143
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 7: UH media market, one thing that I really put priority

144
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 7: on is uh getting my own story out there and

145
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 7: telling my own narrative and uh, you know, telling the

146
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 7: narrative from the athlete that someone get gets mixed up.

147
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 7: Some of the best people I ever met were in

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 7: the NBA, and some of the smartest people I ever

149
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 7: met we're in the NBA, and uh, to reach that

150
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 7: feet it's no small tasks. And I think to tell

151
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 7: that story from uh you know, uh you know super

152
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 7: you know, super accomplished individual like Dre or you know,

153
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 7: seeing things like my South really you know, open up

154
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 7: the market and spread the narrative for what athletes can be.

155
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 7: And you know, three years ago when we started, it

156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 7: was a small conversation. To the point now where meeting

157
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 7: with billionaires and some of the time people and you know,

158
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 7: breaking awarding talking to you know, the future mind. So

159
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 7: it's been a cool thing and it's been fun.

160
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 8: That's pretty I've always wanted this because where you land

161
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 8: in the league is important. Obviously, you guys start in Philly,

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 8: but branding is something that has shifted a little bit.

163
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 8: Right when you came in the league out of Arizona,

164
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 8: you out of Ohio State, there wasn't a focus on

165
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 8: making the individual the person like the start right, Like,

166
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 8: we had a few stars and brands got behind it,

167
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 8: but everybody didn't have their own individual situation.

168
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: So I wonder where did that shift for you guys?

169
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 7: Right?

170
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 8: Was it the move to go the state where now

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 8: you're in an area Silicon Valley particular, where the conversation

172
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 8: outside of basketball's happening and you're privy to it and

173
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 8: now starting to take that information and applying it and

174
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 8: that relationship with him continue. Right now you're learning things,

175
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 8: but you're not on the same team. Hey, let me

176
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 8: put you up on some game.

177
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: No, No, for sure, it's interesting now these they think

178
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: they're too young putting their brands together.

179
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: I think you need to show.

180
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 4: Your excellence on the court first, and that's where you

181
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: really establish yourself. I think it is the inverse effect

182
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: has happened where You've got a kid with a brand

183
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, wait, why do you have a

184
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 4: brand all you play basketball? As opposed to he's one

185
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: of the best at what he does. And I think

186
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: as we've technology has gotten better and with making sports

187
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 4: more valuable is you can get closer to the athlete

188
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 4: than ever and that actual individual athlete is B two

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: C where I can actually touch my fans, like I

190
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 4: can get close to them, like they can see me.

191
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: And before it was only your superstars, we call them

192
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: your signature guys.

193
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: Who had their own shoes.

194
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: Well, now we were just talking about a guy in

195
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 4: the back who's at the all white party. But he's

196
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: making his presence felt and people identify him although he

197
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: may not be a you know, household name. And so

198
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: even if you're the ninth man on the team, you

199
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: still can have a brand, but you can make yourself

200
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 4: the best ninth man in the NBA, like, make your

201
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: presence on the court first. And I think that's where

202
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: it's changed as time has gone on. And I had

203
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: the I was fortunate enough to have the same agent

204
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: as Kobe Bryant, so I was able to see how

205
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: Kobe was moving and so that's what led me to understand, like,

206
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: all right, I got to do it on the court first,

207
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: do it on the court first.

208
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: But now these kids are getting smarter.

209
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 4: It's just they have to make sure they take care

210
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: of you know, what they have going on on the court.

211
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: And going to the Bay was amazing. But my business partner, Rudy,

212
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: he was in here right now. We were talking about

213
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: Silicon Valley years before I got there. Just didn't know

214
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: that I would be there, but when the opportunity came.

215
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: That was a part of the strategy.

216
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 4: When I got into free agency, the Warriors didn't have

217
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: cap space, and I actually had a meeting with them,

218
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: and I'll never forget I had a meeting with the

219
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 4: New Orleans. Sacramento offered me an amazing deal. It was

220
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 4: damn near doubled the deal I took like it was

221
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: a lot, but I had to sign it within like

222
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 4: five minutes. And he was like the owner was like, Andre,

223
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: You're the future, You're a King's two point zero incredible.

224
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: And I still have a great relationship with him because

225
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 4: the vision that I took to the Warriors, he actually

226
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: wanted me to bring that vision to the Kings. He

227
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: actually saw it, and I've never spoken that, and he

228
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: deserved a lot of credit. He saw that, like, listen,

229
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 4: you're the blueprint for what the NBA player should be

230
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: in terms of your business. Because he came from the Warriors,

231
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: so he saw it, but he didn't know. I had

232
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: a meeting with the Warriors because the Warriors had no

233
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: cap space. But I actually set up a meeting with

234
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: the Warriors. They were like the fourth team I met

235
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: with that day. And it was Mark Jackson, it was

236
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: Joe Lacup, and they had two execs in there, and

237
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: they said, Andre, we appreciate you inviting us in. You know,

238
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: just kind of know why you wanted us to come

239
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: in knowing that we don't have cap space. And then

240
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: I just broke down why I wanted to play for them, Like, hey,

241
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: like I see it in Steph Curry.

242
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: We just lost to him. Steph wasn't Steph? I see it?

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 4: And you got this kid. I had the guard named

244
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: lay Thompson. I never heard of this kid, but this

245
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: kid can shoot.

246
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: It like none other.

247
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: I didn't tell them that I had been following Silicone Valley,

248
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: but I said, it's some business things that I'm trying

249
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: to figure out.

250
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: It was in the back of my mind.

251
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 4: And they were like, well, we appreciate it, and we

252
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: appreciate how you feel about our organization, but there's nothing

253
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 4: we can do but my agent and their GM who

254
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: was there, Bob Myers. They used to work together at

255
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: the same agency. Dwight Howard was stalling one weekend. I

256
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: was going to sign with the Dallas Mavericks on like

257
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: a Friday, and Mark Cuban has called and said with

258
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: Dwight Howard pushed back his decision to Monday, so you

259
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: gotta wait. My agent and the Warriors GM figured out

260
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: like a trade situation like Richard Jefferson will go here,

261
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 4: two other players go here, opens up cap and space.

262
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: We can get it done. And then sometimes it's like,

263
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: you know, why do you believe in higher power? Like

264
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 4: some things just work out for the reasons they're supposed

265
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: to work out, and boom, it worked out crazy and

266
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: then you know the rest is history.

267
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 6: No, you never know, you never know.

268
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 5: So I want to fast forward it a little bit

269
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 5: and Dre I know obviously we'll talk about your role

270
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 5: with the NBA, but NBA PA, but I'm interested to

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 5: know your idea and what the vision is for NBA

272
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 5: basketball and the continent of Africa.

273
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's some interesting developments have happened there recently.

274
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: I know, the ahead of NBA Africa just stepped down

275
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: and so, you know, Africa is one of those I

276
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: have to speak different now with the role.

277
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 3: I have.

278
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: Et has Evan has you know, allowed me the ability

279
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: to really express myself and he hates it when I'm PC,

280
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: but I think he's starting to understand, you know, the

281
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: power of the voice, you know, and that's why I

282
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: love him next to me, because he can just speak.

283
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: But Africa historically not like the last ten twenty years.

284
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the history of humanity in terms of

285
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 4: they have what seventy eighty percent of the world's resources,

286
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: and then how it has been taking advantage of the

287
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: human capital, how that's been taken advantage of. You know,

288
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: I was just listening to a speech not too long ago,

289
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: like how old is Nigeria in terms of the actual

290
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 4: nation in the sixties.

291
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's like seventies sevens right. Still, the

292
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 5: relatively young country.

293
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, very very very young boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

294
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 9: The Naja boys. Yes, jolof Rice for LUNs. And yes,

295
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 9: my father is Nigerian, Benin City, Ado. And Africa is

296
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 9: one of the few. It's a continent.

297
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: Broken up, but it's really we look at it as

298
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: a country, US as African Americans, like I think of Africa.

299
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: I don't think of it as countries. I think of

300
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: it as a bunch of states. But it should be

301
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: a country. And you know, we're gonna talk about group economics.

302
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: Imagine if Africa had one currency. But now I can

303
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 4: get in trouble if I say that, But just understanding that,

304
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 4: you know the complexities of Africa, even Nigeria two hundred

305
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: and seventy million people.

306
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: The oil comes from there.

307
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: You know, I had a great understanding of Nigeria when

308
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: I went twenty nineteen and the oil that comes from Africa,

309
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: but they have no refineries and so they they export

310
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 4: their oil and then they buy back gas because they

311
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: don't have refineries.

312
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: But they can build the infrastructure with their wealth.

313
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: But that let me, that let me know everything I

314
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: needed to know in terms of all I know exactly

315
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: what's going on.

316
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,239
Speaker 3: And so with NBA Africa.

317
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: We're seeing a lot of talent come from Africa, you know,

318
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: Pascal Siakam, Janniss, Nigerian Joel and b you know, we

319
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: got MVPs now. And the interesting thing is they probably

320
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: may might get mad at me. But there's NBA Africa,

321
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: there's NBA China, right but the players, we only participate

322
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: in the revenue from NBA America. And so there's there's

323
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 4: some things that need to be worked on from that perspective.

324
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: But that's something that's like near and dear to me,

325
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: so my eyes are constantly on it. I sat on

326
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 4: the board of a public traded company that was based

327
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: in uh Africa and we had talks in terms of

328
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 4: like sponsoring the uh n BE Africa team and so

329
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: my and then a lot of players are involved. Lou

330
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 4: Al Dang close friend of mine, uh not close enough,

331
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: but I look up to him in terms of like

332
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 4: what he's been able to build a portfolio, has been

333
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: able to build, what he's done with. What team did

334
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 4: he have they made the Olympics South South Sudan. Yeah,

335
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 4: we had Royal Ivy who was my teammate here, he

336
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: was the head coach. He's doing some amazing things. Basketball

337
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 4: without borders. We have a lot of players that participated

338
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: in that as kids in the NBA, and so we're

339
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 4: seeing you know, we talk about building Pipelin right, we're

340
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: talking about giving out jobs and you know, just controlling

341
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: or not controlling, but raising your talent.

342
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: And so it's it's it's on my it's on my radar.

343
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: And we've been having a lot of conversations in terms

344
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: of like, how do you own a part of the

345
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: business that you're you know, you're you, you are the

346
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 4: reason why the business exists and athletes have never been

347
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: able to participate in you know, uh, the value increase

348
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: of NBA teams. You talk about ghost or phantom shares.

349
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: I've had some interesting conversations about that.

350
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: I like y'all. Y'all making me reveal a lot.

351
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 7: But seriously, you guys talk about brands, and you talk

352
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 7: about Andre or even you know, a brand I was

353
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 7: able to have from the NBA. How did you guys

00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 7: over the.

00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: One point four million subscribers.

358
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's actually crazy, y'all got off people.

359
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, thankfully appreciate it.

360
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the story really is formatted in purpose.

361
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 8: To be honest with you, his career was as a

362
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 8: financial advisor.

363
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: I was a teacher.

364
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 8: We had an opportunity, you know, every summer I took

365
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 8: kids from my neighborhood and they were part of his program.

366
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: We were teaching them about.

367
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 8: The things that they missed in the ten months of school. Right,

368
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 8: So everybody goes to school and they're like, I don't

369
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 8: remember anything.

370
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 10: I didn't learn anything. You actually, kid, what you learned ain't.

371
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 8: Nothing, right, And so it was like I felt very

372
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 8: complicit in that if kids are going to school, I'm

373
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 8: a teacher, they're learning nothing. I'm not doing my job,

374
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 8: but I'm getting paid. And so there was an opportunity here,

375
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 8: like we can educate kids about financial literacy, about college,

376
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 8: about decisions that they were going to make around money

377
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 8: at fourteen, with the hopes that if they got it

378
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 8: at fourteen, they would be more advanced by nineteen twenty

379
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 8: twenty five. And so financial literacy was at the custom

380
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 8: of that. It was like, all right, Bett, we're going

381
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 8: to pay these kids to be in the program. Let's

382
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 8: teach them about money. He had just started his career

383
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 8: and advising the I'm like, this is perfect, you can

384
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 8: come in, and so we started co teaching that.

385
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 3: Like I learned about finance from him, he.

386
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 8: Learned have classroom management for me, create lesson plans, and

387
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 8: so we did that. In my mind, the vision was

388
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 8: I need to have this program throughout New York first, right,

389
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 8: because parents would see it. They're like, this is incredible.

390
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 8: How do I scale this? I can't figure it out.

391
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 8: I can't figure out. He was always into social media.

392
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 8: He was like, this is how we do it. So

393
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 8: we had our CEO is up there right now. He said,

394
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 8: look shout out to app. He was like, look, I

395
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 8: want you to record the classrooms. I was like, okay, whatever,

396
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 8: I'm still trying to figure out how to scale this,

397
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 8: like physically.

398
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 10: He was like, just keep recording the classroom.

399
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 8: He was huge on content, putting it up, and that

400
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 8: led to him creating his own platform.

401
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: Right.

402
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 8: He wanted to teach people about finance in a different way. Right,

403
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 8: Sometimes when we think about finance, it's a foreign language, right,

404
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 8: And we were coming to like Roose at a Stone,

405
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 8: we were coming like, let's break the monotony of this

406
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 8: stush feeling when it came to financial education, let's talk

407
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 8: it in our language. And so he was doing that ultiple.

408
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 8: People had his own public assets show. I let him

409
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 8: tell his story, and then people like, wait, where's the

410
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 8: rest of that? We need more of that? Where's the episode?

411
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 8: And one day it was just like, look, I want

412
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 8: to do a show. Let's do this podcast. We sat

413
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 8: in our basement. In my basement, I'm like, all right,

414
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 8: let's do it. And that's how Ernie Leisure was burke. Really,

415
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 8: we came up with the name pretty quickly. He was

416
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 8: already using it as a hashtag and from there it

417
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 8: was consistent. It was like, all right, well here's the vision,

418
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 8: these are the ten things we need to do.

419
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: Here are ten people we want to interview. Let's just

420
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: go attack it.

421
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 8: And really it started with three iPhones and that idea,

422
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 8: and it branded into what you see now.

423
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's I don't want to cut you off.

424
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: I just want you to Can you explain to me

425
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 4: what you took from the public access and just explain

426
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 4: to me how that works within your story and then

427
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 4: how you knew how to maneuver into you know, subscribers,

428
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 4: streaming and all that and the difference in the revenue

429
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 4: streams and like how much is valued. A.

430
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

431
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 5: I never went to business school, but I was always

432
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: interested in business my whole life, so I was studying

433
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 5: in like real world studies. So in twenty twelve, Instagram

434
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 5: was like fairly new, and you know, I got introduced

435
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: to it, and like everybody else, I was on the

436
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 5: app all the time. And when I'm first on Instagram,

437
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 5: I'm just thinking, like, this is a cool app. You

438
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 5: get to share photos. At the time, it was no videos,

439
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 5: and at that time, it was just for iPhone users.

440
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 5: But I quickly realized something in this situation. So I

441
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 5: used to follow this fashion blog and the fashion blog

442
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 5: had like a million followers at that time, and at

443
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 5: that time, if you had a million follows, you could

444
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 5: reach a million people. And what I realized was that

445
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: what she was doing, the girl that actually was running

446
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 5: the fashion blog, was that she would post like look

447
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 5: books on like you know this actress war Is and

448
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: this singer war this. But in between the looks, she

449
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 5: would do like organic ads. So it'd be like a

450
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: small boutique in Philly that had a blazer and you

451
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 5: didn't really know it wasnt ad unless she was actually

452
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 5: really studying it. So right then I'm like, this is

453
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 5: crazy because how I was looking at it was like, Okay,

454
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: how many people subscribe to New York Times probably a

455
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 5: million people in circulation from New York Times every single day.

456
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 5: And how much money does it cost to run an

457
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 5: ad in the New York Times? Fifty thousand dollars one

458
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 5: hundred How much money does it cost to run an

459
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: ad on NBC ABC millions of dollars? Right, but I'm

460
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 5: thinking I didn't know, but I'm thinking to myself that

461
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: they're probably playing her five hundred dollars one thousand dollars,

462
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 5: but they can reach just as many people as all

463
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 5: of these traditional outlets. So then that's when I was like, Okay, advertising.

464
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 6: Is going to change. This is the new wave.

465
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 5: So I actually had a meeting with him and I

466
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: was explaining this to him, and I was like, we

467
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 5: need to start a fashion blog, and we did. We

468
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 5: started a fashion while I was called fashion Wave and

469
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 5: we actually got it too, like twelve thousand followers. But

470
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 5: that was the original point where it was like, social

471
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 5: media is something that's going to take over the world.

472
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: Most people have no idea how they're actually using it.

473
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 5: They're just using it as consumers, but there's a business

474
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: behind this. This is before influencer was even a word.

475
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: This is before you had to put ad You could

476
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: just organically do it. That didn't work out, but the

477
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 5: idea was still there. So the next idea was I

478
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: was a financial advisor at the time, so I wanted

479
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 5: to become a celebrity financial advisor.

480
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 6: That was my original goal. I wanted to work with

481
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 6: athletes entertainers.

482
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 5: Because I felt like I played basketball my whole entire life,

483
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 5: and I was looking at the people that was representing

484
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 5: athletes and I'm like, I know that they don't They're

485
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 5: not from the culture. They're not listening to the music.

486
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 5: I know the music. I'm listening to it. Why should

487
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: they get to work with these people. I know I'm

488
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 5: more qualified because I can actually sit down and have

489
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: a conversation.

490
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 6: But I didn't know anybody.

491
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 5: I had no inroads, no advanced degree, and I didn't

492
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 5: really have a way to actually get my way into

493
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 5: the door. So the idea was to become a famous

494
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 5: celebrity financial advisor. Because I was looking at the landscape

495
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 5: and I'm like, okay. Social media has provided a platform

496
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: for anybody to become a celebrity, a celebrity chef, a

497
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 5: celebrity trainer. Previously, you can only become a celebrity if

498
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 5: you was an athlete or an entertainer. But now you

499
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 5: could be a celebrity anything. I'm like, well, you maybe

500
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 5: be able to be a celebrity financial advisor, right.

501
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 3: It's possible, Jess.

502
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: Maybe.

503
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 5: So that's when all of the content comes into play, right,

504
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 5: Wherea's record everything. I'm mad, we're not recording this, but

505
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 5: that's the number one rule in life is to record

506
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 5: everything because you never know, So we record, were recording.

507
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 6: This, but you gotta get you got to get the

Speaker 3: Cell phone footage algorithm breaker.

510
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 5: So now it's like, Okay, record the classroom, record selfie videos,

511
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 5: record everything. To your question about the public access show,

512
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: the number one rule in life is to cultivate relationships.

513
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 5: There's a lot of number one rules.

514
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 8: In life, by the way, just so y'all know, yes, yes,

Speaker 1: President Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United

577
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal

578

Speaker 1: border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and

579

Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

588
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 5: In front of all like the top real estate developers

589
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 5: and entrepreneurs and architects, these are people that have made

590
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: a lot of money and successful, but nobody knows them.

591
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 5: And what I realized is that the number one rule

592
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 5: of life is that everybody wants to talk about themselves. Right,

593
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 5: So I'm like, Okay, if I could provide a platform

594
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 5: for somebody to talk about themselves, then now that's actually

595
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 5: a way for me to build a relationship. So I

596
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 5: get off with a public access show. I never looked

597
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 5: at it as a public access show. I looked at

598
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 5: as a TV show, and that's how I pitched it.

599
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 5: I would go to somebody and be like, you know,

600
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: I have a TV show, do you want to be

601
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 5: Nobody's going to turn down be on a TV show,

602
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 5: especially if they've never been on TV. So what that

603
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 5: actually did was helped me to sharpen my communication skills

604
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: and learn how to actually interview people. Right, So all

605
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 5: of this is happening at the same time. We have

606
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 5: a relationship from growing up together and working in the

607
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 5: classroom as he just described, and my social media following

608
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: is building at the time. So when we start earning

609
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 5: a leisure the show, now we have a lot of

610
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 5: things working for us, right, So when we hit the ground,

611
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 5: it's like an explosion because we was able to actually

612
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: provide information in a very related manner. So we're kind

613
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 5: of like the latter to the clouds. I think a

614
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 5: lot of times in our community there have been a

615
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 5: small pocket of black intellectuals, but they have not been

616
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 5: able to fully communicate or relate to the vast majority

617
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 5: of black people on the ground. So now you have

618
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 5: a disconnect. The intellectuals feel like they're better than the masses.

619
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 5: The masses feel like the intellectuals are Bougagie's and they

620
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 5: just like disregard them, right. So I'm like, well, there's

621
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 5: value in both places. We need each other, right, So

622
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, we have an interesting background where we're

623
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 5: able to communicate to everybody. We can be in an

624
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 5: Ivy League school, where we can be in a penitentiary.

625
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 5: We communicating the people, and we have been in both

626
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 5: places communicating with people and educating people. So when we

627
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 5: were able to provide the education, it was done in

628
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 5: a very non traditional manner when it comes to business.

629
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 5: So the way that we dressed we had hoodies and

630
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 5: T shirts. The way that we talked, we would using

631
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 5: hip hop references, but we're breaking down case studies and

632
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 5: we're actually talking about very high level business, right, and

633
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: everybody wants to make money. So what happens is that

634
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 5: it's just perfect timing. It hits social media, and then

635
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 5: it just explodes on social media. My original thesis on

636
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 5: social media actually turned out to be right. Like I said,

637
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: we just had to wait some time and we switched

638
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 5: lanes a little bit, but the idea of it came

639
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 5: to fruition. And then there's opportunities in every crisis. So

640
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 5: when the pandemic happened, everything shut down and everybody was scared,

641
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: and a lot of people, you know, unfortunately lost their

642
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: jobs and some people passed away as well. But then

643
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 5: some people benefited. We were on this side of the

644
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 5: people that actually benefited because when everybody was home, they

645
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 5: had nothing to do.

646
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 6: So then they.

647
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 5: Started watching us a show called Market Money, who were

648
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 5: actually teaching people about stocks investing. Then something that happened

649
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: in our favor was that everybody got a stimulus check.

650
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 5: Then something that happened in our favors that the stock

651
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 5: markets started the skyrocket. So now people are making money

652
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 5: in real time from our information, and then it becomes

653
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 5: like a cult following. Now everybody's passinated along and they're

654
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 5: telling their friend, they're telling their cousins, and before you

655
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: know it, we're at like a million people that's watching us.

656
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 5: Right So this is all part of during your Leisha's story,

657
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: how we was able to grow organically. But it's a

658
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: mix of I think, having a unique product, mixing it

659
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 5: with the right time, and maximizing the moment. We're in

660
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 5: a moment right now where traditionally media, if we were

661
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 5: to try to start a show fifteen twenty years ago,

662
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 5: we would have to go to Bloomberg, CNBC, ABC, and

663
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 5: we would have to compromise who we are. We would

664
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 5: have to like shave our face, and we would have

665
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 5: to talk in a language that we didn't even feel

666
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 5: comfortable talking in. We would have to wear a suit,

667
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 5: we would have to be under the umbrella of them.

668
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 5: We couldn't own our own show. It be unpossible. But

669
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 5: now the cell phone has empowered the creatives and independence,

670
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 5: and now we're able to break through without having to

671
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 5: go through the actual gatekeepers or the larger institutions. But

672
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 5: what has propelled us to even a higher level is

673
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 5: there's a middle ground that can be reached where now

674
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 5: independence is at a all time high and we have

675
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 5: the leverage, but it's only so far you can go

676
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 5: as an independent from just exposure resources. There's still some

677
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 5: level of benefit from corporate. But now we can work

678
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 5: with corporate from a relationship standpoint as opposed to them

679
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 5: owning everything standpoint, because we have leverage. So now we've

680
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 5: been able to leverage with a lot of different corporate

681
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 5: relationships which have helped us expand our reach globally and

682
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 5: expand our reach and accelerated the growth in a much

683
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 5: quicker manner. So this is an interesting time for creatives

684
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 5: because now you can grow your following whatever you're doing,

685
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: use that leverage to work with corporate but maintain ownership,

686
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 5: maintain independence, and have real leverage and real partnership as

687
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 5: opposed to being an employee. And that's something that has

688
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 5: accelerated our growth as well. So has a very long

689
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 5: winded answer to your question, but I think that it

690
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 5: might be beneficial for anybody that's interested in new age

691
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 5: business and media.

692
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 8: It's crazy because as he's talking and I was listening

693
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 8: to you, Dre, when you were talking about Nigeria, when

694
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 8: we talk about how we creative, there reaching people that

695
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 8: made me think about the first time, like what you

696
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 8: were speaking about was illegal Dangote. Right, he has an

697
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 8: opportunity to change the export import ratio from Nigeria, And

698
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 8: so I'm thinking, like, how do I teach kids about that?

699
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 8: How do I walk in the classroom and tell him

700
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 8: like they should know this person?

701
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: And so always was hip hop right.

702
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 8: The first lesson was I took jay Z's line and

703
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 8: I said, all Black scot is sports and entertainment until

704
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 8: we even and I showed them six people from the

705
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 8: world of sports entertainment. They knew every one of them,

706
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 8: Jay Z, Beyonce, Floyd Mayweth of Doctor Dre and Oprah,

707
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 8: they knew them all right. And Jordan and then I

708
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 8: gave him another sheet with the six wealthiest people black

709
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 8: people on the planet, and they knew none.

710
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: I said, Damn.

711
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 8: Jay kind of prophesized this, right, He really showed us

712
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 8: like all we had until we even because we've never

713
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 8: recognized anything outside that world, until I get to teach

714
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 8: him about the wealthiest guy on the planet who was

715
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 8: a legal Dan Godie. And now this is the crossroads.

716
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 8: And so now that group of kids never gets to

717
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 8: say they don't know who that guy is. And guess what.

718
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 8: He didn't do it because he dribbled. He didn't do

719
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 8: it because you could throw a football, he can spit around.

720
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 8: He did it from natural resources. He did it from oil,

721
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 8: he did it from cement. These are all different things.

722
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 8: So now that kid, all those kids that are now

723
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 8: hearing it, know that there's value and other things than

724
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 8: the traditional things that have been fed through us through

725
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 8: the TV. Right, we have to be entertaining that, we

726
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 8: have to be there's no value in the guy who's.

727
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 10: Going to be the doctor in the neighborhood.

728
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 8: There's no value to the person who's going to be

729
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 8: the teacher or who's going to be the chemist, or

730
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 8: who's going to be the next person to venture capital.

731
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 8: Those people weren't celebrated until this moment in time, and

732
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 8: so that was kind of the thing, was like, all right,

733
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 8: this is how we now can creatively reach people, use

734
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 8: social media, use hip hop, merge it all together and

735
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 8: delivered to the people.

736
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: How long did that breakthrough tape?

737
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 7: Because when you sit there we talked about just recently,

738
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 7: you know, to be more than an athlete was the

739
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 7: thing that just popped up like five or six years ago.

740
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 7: And then a lot of times when you're coming down

741
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 7: and talk about sports and entertainment and what young individuals

742
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 7: typically want to be, they necessarily don't want to hear

743
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 7: all the rye rae like educational stuff. And how did

744
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 7: you guys keep your confidence? We always have a saying,

745
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 7: don't you know this the caterpillar and then jot the butterfly,

746
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 7: So like it kind of been that easy going in

747
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 7: and you know, containing to build step by step. So

748
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 7: how'd you guys keep that momentum up and the face

749
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 7: did you ever get discouraged.

750
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 5: Well, I think that when losing is not an option,

751
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 5: then you really have no choice but to win. So

752
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 5: it's a few ways how you look at the timeframe.

753
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 5: You can look at it from when we started social media.

754
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: That's a relatively short period in the grand scheme of

755
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 5: things of success, like we kind of it just kind

756
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 5: of went up. But then you look at it from

757
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 5: like your whole entire life takes you to the moment

758
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 5: that you're at, and that's a very long journey, right.

759
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 5: So it's like he was a teacher and he was

760
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 5: preparing for that moment without knowing it. I was a

761
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 5: financial advisor and I was preparing for that moment without

762
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 5: knowing it.

763
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 6: Right. So I feel that you have to fully.

764
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 5: Believe in what you're doing to not even thinking of

765
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 5: not even you can't really even think about it not working.

766
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 5: It's only a matter of how do I get it

767
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 5: to work. So like for me my personal journey, I

768
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 5: never really had a job BeForever So I went to

769
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 5: school and then I became a financial advisor. It's a

770
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 5: commission based situation, so anybody can get hired. It wasn't

771
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 5: I wasn't working on Wall Street. I was working for

772
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 5: an insurance company. It's not too difficult to get hired

773
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 5: in that situation just being honest, but it's also extremely

774
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 5: difficult to be successful in it.

775
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 6: That's why it's not difficult to get hired, like not.

776
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 5: Even saying to people is not going to be successful,

777
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 5: but you know, it was. It's extremely difficult type of job,

778
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 5: especially at twenty four years old, to try to convince

779
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 5: people that they, you know, need life insurance and iras

780
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. But my alternative, like I said,

781
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 5: I didn't have an advanced degree, I went to a

782
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 5: state school. My alternative was to actually get a job,

783
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 5: and that wasn't gonna happen. So I really had no

784
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 5: choice but to make it happen. So I think, you know,

785
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 5: and you when you use that type of framework, then

786
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 5: you really don't think about like tough times or like

787
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 5: because at the end of the day, what is a

788
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 5: tough time? We really never really had anything anyway, So

789
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 5: that's something that we already used to. Like, I mean,

790
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 5: if you think about it, like, it can't really get

791
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 5: too much worse. You only really have a you really

792
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 5: you really have nothing to lose when you have nothing

793
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 5: to lose, right, like when you become a millionaire. Now

794
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 5: you start to think, like, damn, I can really screw

795
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 5: this up and I'm back to zero. But I mean,

796
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 5: if you have five thousand dollars in a bank account,

797
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 5: what's the worst that can happen?

798
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 8: Were closer to zero? Yes, right, that's real, I mean,

799
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 8: and that's the reality. Like we grow up, we're so

800
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 8: close to zero, so what is the risk?

801
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 3: Right?

802
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 10: But I thought he's going to answer this a whole

803
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 10: different way.

804
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 8: Was like, because the thing about I've known him since

805
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 8: he was probably eleven years old.

806
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 3: He's vice versa.

807
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 8: There was never a time where our confidence ever weighed

808
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 8: in ourselves.

809
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 3: What we were going to do is we would figure

810
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 3: that out.

811
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 8: But we were always confident we were going to be

812
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 8: Like I knew he was going to be successful, probably

813
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 8: vice versa, and our community knew that too because we

814
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 8: were rooted in the community. But what happened over time

815
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 8: was that we realized representation and showing up as your

816
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 8: authentic self was the key.

817
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 3: Right.

818
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 8: So most people when I worked, they were like, well,

819
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 8: you're the gym.

820
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I'm a physical educator, but.

821
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 8: There's other things I do too. But people will only

822
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 8: judge you from where they see you at, right. So

823
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 8: like even now, if I go back to the school,

824
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 8: they always ask me if I'm coming back.

825
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, well.

826
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 8: About that, right, But they only could see me as that,

827
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 8: But there was so much more to it. So when

828
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 8: we started to grow as a company, it was like,

829
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 8: all right, don't change who you are.

830
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 10: Right when I was standing in front of the kids

831
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 10: in the Bronx, I had the.

832
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 8: Freshest Jordan's on right, I had g shot watches, I

833
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 8: had a BMW because I knew one day a kid

834
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 8: was gonna look at mister Millers and say I want

835
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 8: to be him. Like a lot of kids are going

836
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 8: to grow up saying they want to be you. But

837
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 8: I was like, I want kids to grow up and

838
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 8: say they could be me, because the chances that they

839
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 8: could be me there's one hundred percent chance, right right,

840
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 8: Like making it to the NBA is one in a million, right,

841
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 8: But being somebody that is productive in their community, somebody

842
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 8: that's giving back, somebody that's educating that community.

843
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 3: They could do that.

844
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 8: So if I could show them I could have nice

845
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 8: car that you guys have, I can have some of

846
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 8: the watches and some of the kicks, and that's where

847
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 8: it stops.

848
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 3: I'm making it very that's where it stopped. You might

849
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 3: get luckier, you never know, you know, That's why I've

850
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 3: been But like now, so that's the thing.

851
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 8: Now they see that's my teacher, right, he was my

852
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 8: teacher and I know him right.

853
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: He's in Dubai. He just sat with Steve Harvey.

854
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 8: He's here with Andre and Gordald ever turned like right

855
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 8: now he's speaking at Warren Yo. He used to teach

856
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 8: me how to catch a football.

857
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: Like anything is possible. But the representation was there.

858
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 8: So when you see it, show up in a hoodie

859
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 8: and we have one fresh kicks and you know we

860
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 8: do travel and we like to wear nice clothes. That's

861
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 8: all part of the presentation because that's authentically who we

862
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 8: were prior to.

863
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 3: All of this.

864
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 8: All we get to do now is show up as

865
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 8: we are and people receptive receptive to it because it's like, wait,

866
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 8: these guys is real, the real deal, This is real.

867
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 8: This is really who they are every day and that's

868
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 8: the easiest part. We get to show up as ourselves

869
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 8: every single day.

870
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 3: Now.

871
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 4: I got a question to that for all three of you,

872
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: because this is you know, I have battles with this

873
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 4: sometimes where I had a teammate. His name was Andrew

874
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 4: Boge and he and I have gotten really close. And

875
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 4: I learned this from my mother. You know I did it.

876
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 3: I wrote a book, The Six Man and go by

877
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 3: that if you haven't read it.

878
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 6: On Amazon right now, I wasn't.

879
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 4: I never planned on saying that, to be honest, but

880
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 4: my mother taught me at a young age. I had

881
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 4: a story in there where my mother had two voices

882
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 4: and I said this to it one time.

883
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: She looked at me crazy.

884
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 4: I was like, Mom, when you have on makeup, you're nice,

885
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 4: and when you don't have your makeup, I think I'm

886
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 4: gonna get a whooping at any given moment. My mom

887
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 4: was six foot tall, so I was scared of her

888
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 4: until I was like fifteen, like frightened.

889
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 3: And she had two.

890
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 4: Voices though, you know, she had the voice at home

891
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 4: and then we went out to work she had the

892
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,479
Speaker 4: other voice. And I think as African Americans, we all

893
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 4: have that. You got to switch it up and the

894
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 4: cold switching.

895
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 3: Thank you.

896
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 4: And so Andrew Boget was He said to me, He's like, Hundre,

897
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 4: why do you talk differ to like your black teammates,

898
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 4: and then you talk different when you're talking to like,

899
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 4: you know, white people, and I couldn't. I couldn't quite

900
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 4: explain it to him, but I was trying to explain

901
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: to him.

902
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 3: Like my mother when we went to go, she was

903
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 3: on the phone.

904
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 4: I remember the phone conversation talking to this guy about

905
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 4: a house rental.

906
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 3: We used to rent the small two bedroom apartment.

907
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 4: Like I went in there like maybe ten years ago,

908
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 4: and like I'm like in there like this and I'm

909
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 4: looking at I'm like, how did my brother and I

910
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 4: how do we live in this space together?

911
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 3: You know, he's the same height as me.

912
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 4: And the guys approved the rental, like, yes, it's available

913
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 4: to you. She took my brother and myself with her

914
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 4: to see this, to get the house, and so we

915
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 4: pulled up, knock on the door. He answered the door.

916
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: It's like, can I help you? She was like, yes,

917
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 4: I'm the lady you spoke to on the phone, but

918
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 4: her voice he couldn't he couldn't tell what it was.

919
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 4: The house is not available. So from that moment, like

920
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 4: I understood, like how the world works, Like whoa And

921
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 4: I'm like nine, nine years old, Like who understands that?

922
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 4: At nine years old, and like it's just like what

923
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 4: you're saying is like how low can you go when

924
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: you I mean, what can you lose when you don't

925
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 4: have anything to lose? And so that leads me to

926
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 4: now I still have to maneuver how I speak. I

927
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 4: have to be PC more PC in some places. You know,

928
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 4: I can turn it down to other places. Even when

929
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: we speak, you know, he's always saying, I want to

930
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 4: see that spring felt it in you. But for three

931
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 4: of you, you know, this is my question. You know,

932
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 4: the higher you keep moving up, you're going to open

933
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 4: doors that you know you've never been in before, or

934
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 4: doors we've never been in before. Like I'm thinking, you know,

935
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 4: we're seeing entertainers into these billionaire realms and they have

936
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 4: to maneuver different.

937
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 3: You know, we're in this room.

938
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 4: We don't have the black Evon Musk whatever you want

939
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: to call it, or the Zuckerberg Like when are we

940
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 4: going to have our own tech companies that are you know,

941
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 4: trillion dollar market caps?

942
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 3: But we're inching closer.

943
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 4: And so as you move up, you say you want

944
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 4: to stay yourself, like we always want to stay ourselves,

945
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 4: But are you thinking about how you plan on maneuvering

946
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 4: once you get into certain places, and like, what's your

947
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 4: thoughts on it?

948
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 7: I think the only thing I can change is like

949
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 7: I probably curse less in certain places, but that's just

950
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 7: the truth. But like anything else, because you know, sometimes

951
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 7: you might walk in the rooms and you might be like, man,

952
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 7: am I am I sure I'm supposed to be here?

953
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 7: And one thing I always says, like I've been told,

954
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 7: it's look for the signs. And when you talk to

955
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 7: other people, shout out to everybody, you guys are very talented,

956
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 7: accomplished people, and so am I. And like when you

957
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 7: talk to other people, you see the confidence that individuals

958
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 7: have and sit in front of you have and all

959
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 7: the things they can do, and it's like, okay, you

960
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 7: guys are able to do that. You're able to do

961
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 7: Like you said, what I was able to do is

962
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 7: one in a million. And you know, you can be

963
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 7: a teacher and be a lot of different things. And

964
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 7: it's like I try to find, you know, the one

965
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 7: little you know, spec that I can take to really

966
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 7: build from. So when I sit there and I see,

967
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 7: you know, great people speak with confidence, I'm like, well,

968
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 7: I came from a situation of you know, poverty where

969
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 7: you know, a single parent wasn't supposed to make it out,

970
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 7: wasn't supposed to be in this situation. I was able

971
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 7: to do it with you know, a tenth of a chance.

972
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 7: So every time I look there, I'm like, all right,

973
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 7: if these people can do it, I can leave here

974
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 7: and do it because I've done some amazing stuff that

975
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 7: most people can't even fathom. We talked about a lot

976
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 7: of situations, even just for career or like mistakes. It's like,

977
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 7: you're worry about how people judge you. But a lot

978
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 7: of people stopped their mission a long long time ago

979
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 7: and just went to the sideline and started pointing like, yo,

980
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 7: that ain't him. And it's like, no, I'm your superior,

981
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 7: I'm him. Worry about yourself, you know what I mean.

982
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 7: And then from there I move on and just keep going.

983
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 7: But you know, I got to keep it. Dra does

984
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 7: a great job of smoothing it and out, but my mission,

985
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 7: my delivery, can be a little bit more aggressive. But

986
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 7: I definitely earn earn the right to know I'm in

987
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 7: that room and gain confidence from comprehending that if you

988
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 7: can do great things, I can do great things.

989
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 3: And I take it from there.

990
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you spot on with the confidence and Drake,

991
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 8: with that story you told about your mother. They hit

992
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 8: me dead in the heart because I remember calling my

993
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 8: dad I work.

994
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 3: My parents are from Jamaica. Strau.

995
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, Okay, now that we said that, now that's out

996
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 8: the way. So I would call him, and you know

997
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 8: that he has a he has a heavy patois at dialect.

998
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: But that's changed over the years.

999
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 8: When I would call him, he worked in Manhattan at corporate,

1000
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 8: and I told the story. I really never know what

1001
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 8: he did, but I would call him and he would

1002
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 8: answer it, and my brothers used to laugh, I'll do

1003
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 8: it for y'all. He'd be like hello, and I'd be

1004
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 8: like that, it's me. And then you know, he would

1005
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 8: talk to me in his regular voice. And when I'll

1006
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 8: call my mom, she couldn't. She never did it. But

1007
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 8: it used to irk me then, but it irks me

1008
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 8: even more so now. It's like somebody calls the house.

1009
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 8: He'll do that, and it's because I'm fighting for him

1010
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 8: to never have.

1011
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 3: To do it right.

1012
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 8: And so when we show up in these rooms, I

1013
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 8: show up exactly who I am right now, right the

1014
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 8: the guy used to stand in front of the classroom,

1015
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 8: who couldn't curse. Right, it's the same guy that's going

1016
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 8: to sit on CNBC or Good Morning America or Bloomberg,

1017
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 8: same guy that goes to the breakfast club or Joe Budden.

1018
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 10: I'm able to change the conversation.

1019
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 8: The conversation has changed, the information changes, but the person

1020
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 8: ever changes. And so we're comfortable in the barbershop, or

1021
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 8: we're comfortable right here in a business school because we trust.

1022
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 10: And we're confident in what we know. And that's the

1023
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 10: most important thing.

1024
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 8: I think a lot of times people feel intimidated because

1025
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 8: they don't know what they're talking about, right, And so

1026
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 8: that's our thing, is like I'm a constant learner.

1027
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 3: So every day, like I.

1028
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 10: Told you, I just read the Wall Street Journal before

1029
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 10: I got here.

1030
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 8: Let's have a conversation, right, I'm going to be part

1031
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 8: of the conversation because it's my point. I make it

1032
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 8: my point to I don't ever want to walk into

1033
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 8: a room where I'm going to feel like I.

1034
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 3: Don't feel confident. Right.

1035
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 8: We sat down in some procedures rooms over the past

1036
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 8: month and it was like, I feel like, yeah, we're

1037
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 8: supposed to We've earned every aspect of respect and determination

1038
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 8: and dedication to be in these rooms. So it starts

1039
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 8: with the confidence, but it also goes into that part

1040
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 8: of having an education and feeling like, you know what

1041
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 8: I belong.

1042
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 5: I want to answer this. I'll try to speed it up.

1043
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 5: But two parts. So I never really had to worry

1044
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 5: about coachs. I grew up radical so and I never

1045
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 5: had a job, so I never really had to worry

1046
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 5: about code switching, because you only cod switch when you're

1047
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 5: not in a position of power. Elon Muskin curse on TV,

1048
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 5: and it's okay, that's a fact.

1049
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 3: So but they got fingersnaps on that joint. That was

1050
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 3: crazy renaissance.

1051
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 5: But what I did realize when so when I was

1052
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 5: working as a financial advisor in my office, you know,

1053
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 5: everybody in my office was pretty much older white man.

1054
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 5: And in the beginning part of like the training, they

1055
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 5: will make you watch videos of yourself, like we have

1056
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 5: like a practice sale, and I'm I never really realized

1057
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 5: that I actually had a New York accent until I

1058
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 5: actually watched myself speak. And then then I started to

1059
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 5: realize it. And I kind of became a little self

1060
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 5: conscious of how I spoke because I know that I didn't.

1061
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 6: Have the best the best diction.

1062
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 5: I know that, you know, I had an accent and

1063
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 5: I didn't sound like anybody else in the office. But

1064
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 5: I realized that what I thought might have been a

1065
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 5: disadvantage was actually a superpower. And that's actually helped us

1066
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 5: is that there's millions of people that actually talk like

1067
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 5: I talk and relate to how I like communicate as

1068
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 5: opposed to how somebody else communicates.

1069
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 6: Those people were left out of.

1070
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 5: The conversation for a long period of time. So never

1071
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 5: run away from who you are. Embrace who you are,

1072
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 5: because that's actually a superpower. Now, you do have to

1073
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 5: be intelligent, and it is important to have a strong

1074
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 5: mastery of the language that you speak. So you know,

1075
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 5: it's like you don't wear a jumpsuit to a wedding.

1076
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 5: It's just common sense. So how you communicate in a

1077
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 5: barbershop might not be how you community said.

1078
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 8: I don't know, are you talking about the Batman suit

1079
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 8: that Jaden will Yeah, it's.

1080
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 5: I think it's just a matter of just knowing how

1081
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 5: to communicate properly, not necessarily coad switch. I don't like

1082
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 5: coach switch, and I'm not I'll never coach switch, but

1083
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 5: Steve Stouts told us something that was extremely important. I

1084
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 5: think that this has been the key to earn your

1085
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 5: Leasha's success. It's the thinnest slice strategy. When you're black,

1086
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 5: you have to deal with a variety of different things

1087
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 5: that other people don't have to deal with it don't

1088
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 5: worry about. So for us, we walk a very thin

1089
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 5: line because most people that are on TV that are

1090
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 5: communicating finances that are black, they're not relatable to the

1091
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 5: majority of black people right, how they talk, how they look, whatever.

1092
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 5: And then there's a variety of different people in our

1093
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 5: culture of hip hop that aren't taken serious in the

1094
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 5: business world.

1095
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 6: Right. So we have.

1096
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 5: To be articulate enough to be respected at the highest

1097
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 5: levels of finance to be here, right, But we also

1098
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 5: have to be edgy enough to still be likable, appealable,

1099
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 5: and relatable to the masses.

1100
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 6: That's extremely difficult.

1101
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 5: Very few people have been able to pull that one off,

1102
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 5: and that's something that we do. This is just a

1103
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 5: blessing that we've been blessed with. But this is something

1104
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 5: that when you're thinking about, you know, your pathway forward

1105
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 5: is important because a lot of times when we get

1106
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 5: isolated in circles that we're in, but we can never

1107
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 5: forget about the overarching theme of black people. And no

1108
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 5: matter how good we're doing individually, nobody is successful if

1109
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 5: the vast majority people are unsuccessful and the vast majority

1110
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 5: of people are struggling. So it's important to keep relatability.

1111
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 5: Important to be able to communicate to the masses while

1112
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 5: still having your integrity and being able to move up

1113
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 5: the ladder. Like I said, Elon Muster doesn't have to

1114
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 5: worry about that, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have to worry about that.

1115
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 5: They can just communicate and they just live freely. They

1116
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 5: don't have to worry about street credibility. They don't have to,

1117
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 5: but we do, right. So this is a very interesting

1118
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 5: conversation that you just brought up. But I just feel like,

1119
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 5: you know, in the world of media and communications and

1120
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 5: just everything, it's important that.

1121
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 6: People have other people to look up to.

1122
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 5: That's why every kid wants to be a rapper and entertainer,

1123
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 5: because those are jobs that they see as attainable because

1124
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 5: the architect, the doctor, they're not visible. They haven't made

1125
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 5: themselves visible a lot of times, and they're so far

1126
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 5: unrelatable that nobody's even gonna try to be that right.

1127
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 5: So if we have to a make ourselves more visible,

1128
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 5: and we have to make ourselves more relatable as well,

1129
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 5: that way we can inspire more people, more kids to

1130
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 5: want to be more than just what they see on television.

1131
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 6: Thank you guys so much.

1132
