68
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: of him and they don't see a serious side of Central.

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,520

00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: lead a corporate space to tell jokes, how what was

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: that reaction? I mean it was hard. I had worked

76
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: for a Rico Corporation in the early areas of Facts Machine,

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400

78
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: was hot. You can sell Facts Machine to anybody because

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: it was like selling somebody a matchic trick. They was like,

00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: for State Farm uh as a claim of adjustion, and

85
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, and at that time, you know, you can

86
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: see yourself being trapped. I started doing new comedy at

87
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: the same time I was doing State Farm, and I

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: saw myself getting more up in the corporate ladder, manly

89
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: because of my personality resha And it wasn't really like

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I was good, but people like working with me, and

91
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: you realize that that's kind of it. Gon't like that,

92
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: it's who you know. Like, people go who you know? Well,

Speaker 1: Cedric then with Bob. So I'm gonna move set up.

96
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: And I'm like, so, you cat, you were a young man.

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: You're about to start getting trapped making sixty seveny thousands

98
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,440

99
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: I'll never go for my dreams. So I had to

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: make that. I had to make that decision right around

101
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: that early in my life, like y'all, I could take

102
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: this money and kind of you know, live the safe

103
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: life and you know, get the you know, get the

104
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: house with you, pick your fence and cool little you

105
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: know Christ with three hunting and that's gonna be my life,

106
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I can go for this dream.

107
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: So I did now and I and that ain't hate

108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: no Christ for three hundreds that just want just because

109
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: I was the same space. I was like, okay, because

110
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: you know you you nobody tells you can be a comedian.

111
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: And if you're in a black community, you know that's

112
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: not an option. That's not an option because Richard Pride

113
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: is the comedian and the Murford the comedian. Who are you?

114
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: Who are you? That's when people tell you that yeah, yeah, yeah,

115
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: you know black people said, black people will kill your

116
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: dreams sometimes, boy, shut up and going there and do

117
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. You ain't rich and Proude, You

118
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: ain't there a Murphy and and and it's really important

119
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: that you understand that that you can't do that. That's

120
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: why I do the show that people you can understand

121
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: that you can be there because sometimes we as a

122
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: people who will slow down the opportunity to be be

123
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: be successful, like because they did we did, they didn't

124
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: do it, and they see the difficulties of being accomplished,

125
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: and then they tell you what you can't do. And

126
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: that's why I always tell kids. I tell parents, don't

127
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: tell your kids what they can't do. Try to help

128
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: them do what they want to do, and we all win.

129
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Because that's that's your philosophy. Man, that's always loved about you.

130
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: That's a good shot, that's a that's a good shooters book. Man.

131
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: You ever write that, well, you know, I'm gonna tell

132
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: you something saying, you know, when I see you, when

133
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm go when the ride broke out up there in St. Louis,

134
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: you know, you said inside the jokes, you said inside

135
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: the jokes and went on TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

136
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you know. And still still really involved in that kind

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: of advocacy right now because you know, policing, not to

138
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: jump the subject, but policing and the way that we

139
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: live in the world is that people can't power, sources,

140
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: can't be belonged to just somebody with the badge or

141
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: the power right now because they're still a human being

142
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: and so they if they if they feel protected you know,

143
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: by status, by you know, um, you know, being a

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: part of one organization. Then the rest of the world

145
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: is outside of that. And that's where you gotta be

146
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: careful about allowing you know, police to you know, to

147
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: be able to through their job. But King, they don't

148
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: have the freedom to say I was scared of my

149
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: life and therefore I took I had the whole right

150
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: to take somebody else in side. That's a thing, that's

151
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: a big responsibility. Right there, man on the phone, is

152
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: my man, Cedric the entertainer here? Like I said, he's

Speaker 1: in me. I believe I can do this, and that's

177
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: important to people to hear you say that. Man, Yeah, exactly,

178
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's but I did it, you know,

179
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: like I said, also tell people this. I didn't do

180
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: it like frivolously. Like I I had created a strategy.

181
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: I started local, I performed and got my name up

182
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: locally so that I had like, uh, you know a

183
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a cash flow that I could do

184
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: around Louis. Then I then I spread it out a

185
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: little bit Chicago, you know, Memphis, places I can run

186
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: down and make a little money, make sure I can

187
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: always pay my bills. And then I created a national platform.

188
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: But I didn't leave my job or none of those

189
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: things because my job hadn't showed us. Man, come on,

190
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: get little and I go to the doctor. I wasn't

191
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: given that up coming about I'm gonna comed you like, now,

192
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: I know you get the molas fixed, you're on the

193
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: last o. G You're not to start that. But you're successful, man,

194
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: you rolling, and then you get this opportunity now your

195
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: TV or another network CBS, you know, yeah, not that

196
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: that that's a crossover network, know what I'm saying, CBS. Yeah,

197
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: so tell us about that whole process, man, the development

198
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: of the show. I mean, you know, well that's the

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: thing to always try to tell people that longevity. You know,

200
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: that reminds me of Mons King with Long Chef, and

201
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: it has this place is the idea of believing in

202
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: the long run, man, Like, you can't necessarily here if

203
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: you get hits now and you know, somebody have a

204
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: big hit younger in their career. You go, but who's

205
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: what's the best thing about having a long career. So

206
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know, from the Steve Harvey Show that

207
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 1: was on the w B to having my show to

208
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: soul Man that was on TV Land. I had never

209
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: had you know, I did, as said, changing presents on Fox,

210
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: but I've never had anything on one of the big networks.

211
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: I've had deals, but never and so to you know,

212
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: to this point in my life, to have a show

213
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: on the number one network with a number one new

214
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: comedy and to have that that that the resources of

215
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: that of that network behind you, uh, you see a difference.

216
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: There is a there is a vitalization that happens. As says,

217
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm validated one people like people understand who I am

218
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: now they get my brand. I didn't really have to

219
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: change to do it. I tell the story that's about

220
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: something that we all live, gentrification, how neighborhoods are being

221
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know, uh moved into things that we've

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: grown grown up with and now we had to deal

223
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: with the world moving forward and now you you gotta

224
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: deal with the old foods where your where your hairdresser

225
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: used to be, like so right, you know these kind

226
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: of things is you know, and I thought it was

227
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: just a great place for the show and so today

228
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: and so we just ain't up making a great partnership.

229
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that people they ain't showing the show

230
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: and we're having a good time with him. Man, it's

231
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: just so true. It's truly, it's so true. It was

232
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: so funny because I used to text something from fifth Ward.

233
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Fifth Ward is a black community, and so it was

234
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: my mom still lives there. Winning then built out of house.

235
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: She want to move, said she will. Hey, they ain't

236
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna right, So I just built a house around her house.

237
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: You know what I'm going like. You know, if I

238
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: just would tell that Dow that okay, okay, we're gonna

239
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: build a house around your house. Now, I gotta put

240
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: security along because everybody looking at the house, everybody looking

241
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: at her. But she refused to move. So they got

242
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: a big freeway they put into the neighborhood. And my

243
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: wife said, what's what's going on? I said, well, well,

244
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: my mom's value about to go up because all because

245
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: that's what happened, They all put a freeway in the

246
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: black neighborhood because they like black neighborhoods. They know that.

247
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: And that's why you're showing so time. That's why you

248
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: show it so timely man, That's why I love it. Yeah, no,

249
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: and it's and it's those kinds of things. And in

250
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: the process is that you know, we do you know,

251
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: like of course, you know, like guys like us, we've

252
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: had opportunities to live in a big world and operate

253
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: with a number of different people and everything doesn't break

254
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: down the black and white. So you do realize there's

255
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: groups of people out there that if you get to

256
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: know them as human beings, you actually enjoy them. And

257
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: I think the idea that we separate each other along

258
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: color lines, along uh, sexual preference, and you don't realize that,

259
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, if I got to notice individual I would

260
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: enjoy them as a person. I would be like, oh,

261
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't have to judge you because you look different

262
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: than me, or you come from somewhere else. And so

263
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: that's where we try to also really encouraging this show.

264
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: Even though you know, everybody gotta have tribal kind of pride,

265
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, pride and being a black man and and

266
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, loving black women and all these kind of

267
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: things that that makes us feel prideful, but you don't

268
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: judge the other. You don't judge the other because you

269
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: don't understand it, try to understand it and then recognize

270
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: that you can grow from those things. So that's what

271
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: you know this show is all about. And so, uh,

272
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: my character is pretty hardcore. At first, you know, I'm

273
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the Archie Bunker, I'm the dude that's stuck in my

274
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: ways and don't won't you no change? And then I eventually,

275
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, come to get to notice family and this

276
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: guy as a as an individual, and then you see

277
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: the growth of my character. That's the neighborhood on CBS

278
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: starring my good friends such entertainer his characters Calvin Butler

327
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,840

328
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: to articulate on the spot was something that fascinated me.

345
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: literally over here blessing, like have I done all those things?

346
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Are you sure you're talking about the right person? Yes,

347
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: I am. Um Maria, you just tell me the journey

348
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: to get here. You know I know that, Uh you

349
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: know your your local because the show broadcast in Atlanta

350
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: and you're from Afria. What did Georgia Volleyball basketball. How

351
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: did they hold of was? What? What was your degree?

352
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: Playing in? Well? I really started out when I got

353
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: to Georgia thinking that I was going to be some

354
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: kind of team doctor one day, and then I took

355
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: biology and life. That's not a good idea because that's

356
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: not my strength at all. So um, you know, a

357
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: couple of majors later, went through the business cycle and

358
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: to the accounting class. I got to broadcast journalism and

359
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: thought to myself, like, this is really what I want

360
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: to do. I love talking to people, I love interviewing people,

361
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: just asking a bunch of questions and that would be

362
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: the perfect sist for me. And luckily the University of

363
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: Georgia has a great journalism school and Grady Yeah, so

364
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: I was able to my senior year, We're putting on

365
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: whole newscast. So I have a resume tape by the

366
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: time I graduate. And then at the time, you know,

367
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Damon Evans was the athletics director at Georgia, and you

368
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: knew my plans, my goals, my dreams were eventually working

369
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: for ESPN, and he helped me get my first job

370
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: out of the gates at Georgia, working for Georgia Dogs

371
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: Dot com so I was just like the reporter of

372
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: our website and I also did radio for volleyball and

373
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: women's basketball. So so if that's why I always tell

374
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: people to import of relationship. That's a relationship. They gave

375
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: you a really first option. But also when I see

376
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: you on television, what is what? What do you what

377
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: do you consider your number one skills saying? Is it preparation? Oh?

378
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: Is it the ability to think on the spot, Because

379
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: when you're walking up the two coaches, sometimes they're happy.

380
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm talking about you know, she she's on the

381
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: sideline with some of the biggest coaches in the game,

382
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: and so not all of them. They they're just doing

383
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: it because it's pretty much mandatory. They got to do

384
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the interview. So getting that information out and being articulated

385
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: after a loss, after a victory, sometimes people are pulling

386
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: on you, knocking you out the way. They don't care

387
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: you Maria Jaylke and close to So how do you

388
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: manage all how do you manage all that? Um? I

389
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: think it's one of the keys that I actually learned

390
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: in volleyball. It's called reading and reacting. So um, you

391
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: almost have to read what's going on in the game.

392
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: You have to read the coaches space when he comes over.

393
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: You have to read the tone that he's taking with you.

394
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: You kind of have to know if you don't be

395
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: going to give you one question, or if he's gonna

396
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: give you too, and then you react to him if

397
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: he says something that's completely crazy that you didn't think

398
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: that he was gonna say by having a follow up question,

399
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if you ask, if you

400
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: have two questions package, then you gonna look a little

401
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: bit like you don't listen to him at all on camera,

402
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: if you don't respond to what he just said. So

403
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: you have to be able to react. I think those

404
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: are two of the biggest criteria to becoming a sideline

405
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: reporter or you know, just getting really good at your craft.

406
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: Is that ability to kind of go with the flow,

407
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: to listen, to change lanes quickly, um and adjust to

408
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: what's going on around you in the circumstances that you

409
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: can place that you know. The really thing about I'm

410
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: talking to Maria Taylor. She's a host, reporter and analyst

411
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: for ESPN covering college basketball, college football, and more. The

412
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: thing I like about your career so far is that

413
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: I I you know, I McGall discovered you on ESPN

414
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: doing college basketball. Now you over here college football, you know,

415
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: which means that you you know, you're diversifying your platform,

416
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: multiple streets of income and so yeah, you know that's

417
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: important because people can pigeonhold you and say, no, she's

418
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: over there, she's basketball alone it. How are you able

419
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: to make that transition? How? What what? What? What depth

420
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: moved it? Were you able to pull off to be

421
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: able to do that? Well? One of my biggest goals

422
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: when I started my career was to make sure that

423
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: that word pigeonhole never applied to me. So whether that

424
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: was I wanted to grow skill sets as a host um,

425
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: that was something that I would I would really go after.

426
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to everyone to feel like if they needed

427
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: someone to be an analyst for basketball and volleyball, I

428
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: could do that, or if you need a reporter, I

429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: could do that. And of course, in order to do

430
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: all those things, you have to be able to work

431
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: in multiple sports. Otherwise you'll only work for say, four

432
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: months out of the year, and I didn't want that.

433
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: I wanted a full time and everyone wants that. Somebody

434
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: was great coming out of school because Comcast Sports South,

435
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: you know Atlanta, they used to be around CSS, they

436
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: were the high school sports. I was able to do

437
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: some football games for them, and it kind of translated

438
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: into doing the SEC game of the week for CSS

439
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: as well, and so that's how I got into the

440
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: football lane. But it all started with being just good

441
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: at basketball and volleyball for them first. That's really awesome.

442
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: And so now you're sitting and I see a regular

443
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: on Get Up, which is even even another stratosphere, and

444
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: you you get the report, you get to have your opinion,

445
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: you get to how has that that that transition to

446
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: that platform changed your perspective. Yeah, I think it's changed

447
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: the game in a lot of ways for me because

448
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: you kind of get seen in the same lane after

449
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: a while. So you know, being the reporter or on

450
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: college game that you have a certain role. Being on

451
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: the sidelines, you know, you have a very particular role

452
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: and it's reporting and a lot of your hits are

453
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: only for a thirty second. Meanwhile, when you do get up,

454
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, you might do the highlight read with Jalen

455
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: and then you have to have a conversation about the

456
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: Lakers and then you need to go over and help

457
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: them with Dan or Laski doing a touch screen and

458
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, you know you're talking about

459
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: what the Jets need next. And so I think it's

460
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: not only does it helping me. I mean every day

461
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: I seriously learned something to do and feel like I'm

462
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: getting better at my craft, but it also position positions

463
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: you from a broader scheme, whether that's the higher ups

464
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: realizing oh it's like a real host to like she

465
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: could sit in that chair um and lead a conversation

466
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: and be the conduct through on a show. I think

467
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: for my career it's been an awesome opportunity to just

468
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of flex some different muscles. I'm getting really just

469
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: like you get really strong with your close or whatever.

470
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: But if you're not working on your cats, your legs

471
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: don't look crazy. And so I have been working a

472
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: really hard just one internet. You don't want the crazy legs. Yeah,

473
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: you know you don't want to be looking You're looking

474
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: at you like she, I mean she looks strong on

475
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: top of she's the legs they're like little too thick.

476
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting balanced now as a broadcaster. Well,

477
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: you know that's why I love about you, know how

478
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: you you know, I'm just a fan of watching you

479
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: be you because you know the college basketball to college

480
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: football and get up allows you to talk about everything

481
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: not baseball is about the camp, you know, and then

482
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: professional football and so you because you're your your your

483
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: voice allows you to to but you. But I hope

484
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying is that you are really cultivating.

485
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: At three sixty, I think that you've dreamed about in

486
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: your career. Well it's funny because when I set out,

487
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, I used to always say, you just I

488
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: want to be a reporter on ESPN. And then there

489
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: was a point I think it was twelve, and I

490
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: got the job and said, okay, it's time to adjust

491
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: these goals, like what do you really want to do?

492
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Like what is the highest dream that you could possibly have?

493
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: And I remember rob and Roberts says, and I've read

494
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: her books like nine times. So there's a kid listening

495
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: read from the heart eight Rules to live By. She

496
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: has two of them. The Seven Rules to Live By

497
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: was before she got cancers. Then she wrote eight Rules

498
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: to Live By. But she always said dream big, but

499
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: focus really small. But my big dream is being on

500
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Good Morning America. Then like what are the skill sets

501
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: that I need to get there? And who needs to

502
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: believe in me? And who do I need to impress?

503
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: And you know what, do I need to have entertainment

504
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: in my background? Do I need to have a little

505
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: bit of news? So all of that stuff is what

506
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of trying to line up if my ultimate

507
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: goal is maybe doing a big morning show or something

508
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: like that, which is what my goal kind of changed

509

00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: in the work, and for me especially you know, praying

612
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: and stand in the word and just just ultimately just

613
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: believing that the greatest teams are coming. Now, you were

614
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: drafted in the fifth round. So that's that's pretty that's

615
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: a pretty nice check round. It's filth frown And then

616
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: you know you went for a poler school. Today. Invite

617
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: you to the combine. Yeah, I got invited to combine.

618
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: That was key right there, getting inviteds to combine because

619
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: you got to show off your speed, your agility and

620
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff that helped you. Right yeah, yeah, I

621
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: believe it helped. And then so so to get there

622
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: and now you now you with Seattle and now you

623
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: went to Titans. So when you with Seattle, how was

624
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: that first experience when you came into the camp? You

625
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: your fearth frowned draft pick you way up and you know,

626
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: you went from the East to the very west. It's

627
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: a total, total culture change. You have to mine it's

628
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: a culture change. So how did you deal with that?

629
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: You know, because your friends, you know, you need support,

630
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: You need support your new teammates and you how did

631
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: that work for you? Um? They endn know working out

632
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: pretty well because of the team I went to. We

633
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of better leadership, especially that we've been

634
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: a GB I had veteran leaders like Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman,

635
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: Cam Chanfer and um. Yeah, so also a clearer development

636
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: guy Mo Kelly out in Seattle. He is a big

637
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: help and helping like the rookies and the other guys

638
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: get adjusted to the to the new you know, the

639
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: new community and just the new Uh. The business of

640
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, not just you know, college and NFL is

641
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: different because you know it's a business when he comes

642
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: to the NFL. We's the great thing about you going

643
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: to Seattle. You got to see and be around some

644
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: real personalities, people who speak their mind. You know Bennett

645
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: deefensive Lineman. You know he real personality, you said, Richard Simmons,

646
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: Stanford Grad real personality. Earl Thomas eb had don't forget

647
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: the man, the quarterback, real Russell Russell Wilson, a lot

648
00:33:54,720 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: of personality. Why receiver Dougall All this guy did that?

649
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: Did that help you to understand that you could have

650
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: a because you came into into the National Football League

651
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: right at the right at the Colin Kapernack moment, and

652
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: it kind of changed the whole perception of the quote

653
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: unquote black athlete in the National Football League. And I

654
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 1: am I saying that right or my my misstating something.

655
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Can you explain that a little more, meaning that you know,

656
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: we became outspoken. You know, they were the protests, And

657
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to put you on the spot. I'm

658
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: just saying I'm just in my perception of that. You know,

659
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: before before that period, just play football, play nobody. No,

660
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: you went out there, got that check, you got hurt,

661
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: you complained, you know you you would complain. But this

662
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: time politics, I guess socialism or social so so the

663
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: social climate that was happening, industries came inside the stadium.

664
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: Did that have an effect on you? And not saying, uh,

665
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: not trying to put your spot, just saying that it

666
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: did create a culture change in the in the league.

667
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Did it Uh, yeah, I feel like it is. It's

668
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: just um, I feel like that help athletes speak out

669
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: on political issues and social issues and knowing that we

670
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: can use our platform to bring awareness and change to

671
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: what we believe in and what we see out there.

672
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: Because you gotta think about a lot of athletes come

673
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: from those communities that they are being affected in the

674
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: negative way and they just want to bring life to

675
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: They just want to bring life to the situation. I like,

676
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: can you explain that a little bit more so? Tide's

677
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: not gonna just throw out a response on something. What

678
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: you just say, brother, think I got a career. You

679
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: ain't messing me up with this interview. What you say

680
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: something wrong? The reason the reason I brought that up

681
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: because you're involved with the Habitats for Humanity and then

682
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: your other program, and these are really socially conscious programs,

683
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: Like well, first of all, habits Habitat for your manity,

684
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: you have to work. That's not something you used to

685
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: go around just just just grin and take pictures. They're

686
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: they're actually building home. It's correct. Yeah, That's why I'm

687
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: I love how to touch me many because it's more

688
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: like you really put you getting your hands dirty, like

689
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: you were there building a foundation, putting your hands on

690
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: the house, and like you're you're there with the family

691
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: who's going to live in the house. So you know

692
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you're doing the handles them building the house, uh,

693
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: cutting wood, putting the doors up now, and nobody stuff

694
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: on the roof. That's why I really like them because,

695
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: like like I said, it's more of a hands on think.

696
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: It's not just she's just throwing money to a to

697
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: a thing, like you're actually helping volunteer, you know that.

698
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: I feel like that goes along way. Now, A lot

699
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: of athletes do foundations. What is your foundation structures? You friend,

700
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: mother or father or sister, brother are a relative? Who

701
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: who runs your foundation? Uh? Me? Really me and uh family,

702
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: family and friends? But I say namely me, but it

703
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: just like I I can't, I can't describe it no

704
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: better than me and how I go about life and

705
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: how I go to things. Well, you're kind of doing

706
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: it anyway when you're talking about the habitats for humanity,

707
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: there are similarities, correct, Yeah. I try to uh connect

708
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: with companies that I believe has the same value system

709
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: as myself and and and that value the system is

710
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: what Uh that value system, I would say, is a

711
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: genuine care for people. It's not about it's about it's

712
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: not about money. I know. You know in this world

713
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people get lost in the money aspect,

714
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: thinking that money and power, you know, saying it will

715
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: lead you long way if I believe or like some

716
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: value things like you no compassion forgiveness. Uh, the thing

717
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: that intangible you know that that we can't we can't

718
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: really measure the degree that some people you know, stuff

719
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: like that. You know when when I look at the well,

720
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with Ty Smith, he's uh pointerback

721
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans. Was drafted in the fifth round

722
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: by the cels Seahawks. Like he just stated, you know,

723
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: there was no guarantees. He got cut by Seattle. Then

724
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: he was on the practice squad for the Redskins. Then

725
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: he got picked up by the Tennessee Titan. When you're

726
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: going through those trials and tribulations, what was your You're

727
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: an athlete, you know you have a short window. You

728
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: compete against other athletes and like I said, you know

729
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: at towns and you're the fastest person on the team

730
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: or maybe the stronger person on the team. Then you

731
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: come to the NFL and you're like you First you

732
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: go to the combine, you go wow. Then you go

733
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: to the NFL, you go wow wow. So what keeps

734
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: you mentally motivated that you can win in that environment? Um,

735
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say how motivated because that's I feel like

736
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: that's motivation is just the motion that comes and goes.

737
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm dedicated. I'm dedicated to be that I

738
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,160

740
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: this game. And that's where that's why I put in

741
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: day in and day out. Um. I cherished the small

742
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: things like the training, the moments and training, and I

743
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: feel like that those those small things add up to

744
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: bigger things down the line. Like when when things do

745
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,200

746
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: that I am being, that I can be and will be,

747
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,200

748
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: worked worked for for in term of years back. It

749
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: won't just be from the stuff I did you know

825
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:54,360

826
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure those names I have been used to describe

827
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: both of you as a couple as well as individuals.

828
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: So how do you get into football business? So we

829
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: um I started by he's a consult with pro athletes,

830
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: mainly NFL NBA players for about ten years. And Marcus

831
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: Colston who played for the Saints, and I uh, he

832
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: launched the team in Harburg called the Hansburg and I

833
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: worked with him on that for four years. And that's

834
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: when I was introduced to the arena sports industry and

835
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: got to know all the owners and different leagues from

836
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: a FL to i f L to n a L.

837
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: Such a fragmented business, but got the meet and understand

838
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the players in the industry. And when

839
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: I I'm a native New Yorker. So we end up

840
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: getting out of that team and market's end up investing

841
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: in the Philadelphia Soul, which is an arena football team,

842
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: and got to know the owners there. And and as

843
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: we're getting to know the owners and they say, hey,

844
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, New York doesn't have a market have a team,

845
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: but it has a big market. And that began the journey.

846
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: And I was three years ago just to um find

847
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: a location so we can actually launch a team. And

848
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: that was a three year journey. So how we how

849
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: I got into the arena space was through my consulting

850
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: with pro athletes with Marcus Colston and working on the

851
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: Harrisburg's campaigne let Us all the way to the seven

852
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: years later launching the New York Streets. Explain to my

853
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: listeners what exactly is arena football. So arena football is

854
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: played inside hence the word arena. It's basically playing on

855
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: the same city yards field similar to a hockey rink.

856
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: And basically it's eight on eight. About ten percent of

857
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: arena football players, Arena football leagu players go onto the NFL.

858
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: So it is a place where, um, the NFL pays

859
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: attention to if you for anyone that's really in the

860
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: sports and really into the NFL from a geek, this

861
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: point of view in the collective bargaining agreement with the

862
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association and the NFL, Arena football is actually

863
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: spelled out in that collective bargaining agreement because it's such

864
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: a source of talent for the NFL. Well, one of

865
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: one of the famous alumnus from there is Kurt Warner

882
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: to the chief revenue officer the New York streets. Well,

883
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta tell you, to be honest, I

884
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: wasn't really sure to begin with. How you know that

885
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: was my first reaction, But I have to say that

886
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm with him all the way. We have.

887
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: All we do is strategize and figure out what it

888
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: is that we're going to be able to accomplish together.

889
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: And you know, this is my background. Sponsorship has been

890
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: my life for the last twenty years. So being able

891
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: to leverage the football market and being involved on this

892
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: level with my husband has been a dream. Contrue. Now,

893
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: this is really interesting because when I go through resumes,

894
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: I try to pull out a lot of bios and

895
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: trying to pull out little nuggets and like one of

896
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: the gems was a mother of four being able to

897
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: balance being a mother of four. Let's talk about that,

898
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: because I always tell people or publicly on my show

899
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: that despite all my success, I did not understand how

900
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: to balance my life. I would just all in on work.

901
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: Were you like that, Corey of Were you able to

902
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: balance your life? Yeah? I think, Um, what I've been

903
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: able to do. The reason I set out to work

904
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: on my own is to actually have ultimate balance. So

905
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: you know the thing about an entrepreneurs you can schedule

906
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: your meetings according to your schedule, and unless it's a

907

00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: was talking to then I just lead over the court.

912
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: I think everybody went, are you talking to Timer the mother?

914
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: just the day. So talk about that. You know, the

915
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: whole responsibility of being a mom, and sometimes that can

916
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,200

Speaker 1: those are you know, our stars. But at the end

930
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, my kids literally right now

931
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,839

Speaker 1: but we have we're blessed to be able to kind

939
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: of schedule around it to make sure that there is

940
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: a balance. Now I have to stay when you're doing

941
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: when you're doing a venture like this, let me just

942
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: tell people about her background. You know, she's work for

943
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: Time Incorporated and was very instrumental in the growth of

944
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: iconic brands as Real Simple and people say People Magazine. Correct, Yes, okay,

945
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: so these aren't like you know, these are brands. Did

946
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: you walk into a store? You see them on the

947
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: share recognizable. So the idea of taking the New York

948
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: Streets and being able to brand it and market it,

949
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: what is the land when you have this tremendous background,

950
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,959
Speaker 1: which also means you probably have tremendous connections and tremendous relationships,

951

956
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,240

994
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,840
