Oh, Dave Anderson, you're a 65 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: business pulley. So I called my attorney and I trademarked it, 66 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: and I said, no, I'm the business bully who some 67 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: random on Facebook whose name I don't remember.

But no, that's the thing, Like, 86 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going to allow somebody to get away with 87 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: being mediocre. If they keep telling they want to be great. Now, 88 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: if you want to be mediocre, knock yourself out, but 89 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: stop acting like you want to be great. If you're 90 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: not gonna do the work, and stop asking you for 91 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: your information, you know what I mean.

You have you ever walked out on 97 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the client? Bro? I fired clients. Here's the thing. If 98 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: I give one person I have. I have a client 99 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 1: named Anissa. Anissa lives in southern California and she uh 100 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: She owns a nursing school curriculum that she licenses out 101 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: to other people. She helps people rebuild their credit, like legitimately, 102 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: not like those credit repair of people. And she also 103 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: helps people in Dubai, which has a completely different credit system, 104 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, build out their credit. And I got her 105 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: once I got her over her excuses. You know, she 106 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: made one point two million in a year. And so 107 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Christmas morning she goes and she takes her husband out 108 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: to a car dealership. This is after they bought the 109 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: cars that they want, after they got the house that 110 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: they want, after their kids are secured, right, and her 111 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: husband's like, what are we doing here? She was like, well, 112 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: this is for you, and he was like, we've already 113 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: got our cars. She was like, you don't understand. I 114 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: bought you your dealership. Congratulations, you're retired. She bought him 115 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: the car dealers. So like when I got, when you got, 116 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: when you got people like that that are willing to 117 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: just listen and execute, and then you got people but 118 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: I don't but why and I don't understand. It breaks 119 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: my heart, But you gotta go because you're not going 120 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: to mess up my track record because you won't be obedient. 121 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: It's the same reason that God gets frustrated with people, 122 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, like if you're not going to follow, don't 123 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: be mad when things don't go out your way. You 124 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: can't sit up here and say that you want all 125 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: its abundance, but you gotta lack mindset. Those things don't 126 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: those things don't don't drive out. When I was five 127 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: and sixty one pounds and I went and lost two 128 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: hundred sixty pounds, I had to take my fat as 129 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: to the gym. I had to stop eating bullshit at 130 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: some point. It wasn't anybody's fault that I was putting 131 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: things in my mouth, and I hand no business putting 132 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: in my mouth.

And it played to my advantage. And 140 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: to this day I still read two books a week. 141 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: You know. I was able to put myself in a 142 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: different mindset and and I used to go. I used 143 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: to get myself to a point where I said, okay, 144 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: if all you can attack on me. Is my weight? 145 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Then when I lose it? What else you gonna say? 146 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: So now I lost it?

I have built businesses, I have 149 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: helped my people. At this point, it allowed me to 150 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: be as thorough as I possibly can be without being 151 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: all this fly by night stuff.

And I said what? 169 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: He said, do you see this here? And he handed 170 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: me the commercial list. You know, you got two logs 171 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: in radio, you got the playlist, and you got the 172 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: commercial law. So in the commercial law. He was like, 173 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: do you know how much one of your spots is? 174 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: I said no. He said, you know how much one 175 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: of the morning show spots is? I said no. He said, 176 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: the morning show goes for fifty dollars fifty dollars spot 177 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: yours go for five hundred. He said, they put you 178 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: on for five hours because they make more money with 179 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: you on the microphone than they do off And I said, yo, 180 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: they make my salary in the night by that man. 181 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: He said exactly. He said. The thing of it is 182 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: you're talented, you're funny, you're gifted, but the real money 183 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: is being made off of you. He was like, if 184 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: you go, this whole situation goes, he said, So you know, 185 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: do with that information? What it was? It was a 186 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: Jewish man named Mr Boyd, Mr What. He was a 187 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: sales manager and he was like yeah, like you know, 188 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: you're keeping the lights on. And that's when I realized 189 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: it's not about being a performer. It's about owning the 190 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: means of production, is about controlling the sales. And at 191 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: that point the spark was lit. But I still wasn't 192 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: done yet. So I did like five or six more 193 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: radio stations, put some folks in syndication because I still 194 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: wanted this radio thing. I thought like doing the show 195 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: thing would be the thing. And then I realized that 196 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: if I don't own the show, I'm just a glorified puppet. 197 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: How many days a week? Six? Okay? And what was 198 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: your time? Slab? Seven and midnight? Okay? Damn, that's a 199 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: lot of hours, man. But they capitalized. They sold spots. Yeah, 200 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: they sold spots. Here's the thing in Nashville, Tennessee. And 201 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure y'all have been. You know, it's country music city, USA, 202 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: but it's very very black. And the thing of it 203 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: is I was number one or number two consistently at 204 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: night while the station was fourteen. So if I'm the 205 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: guy keeping the lights on, why are you paying me 206 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: like the guy who's not. You know, so at some 207 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: point you went to them for more money. And they 208 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: told you, They told me kick Rocks, and then they 209 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: flipped the format of the station. So I was out 210 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: of the job. So you know, I went off to 211 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: Texas and I went off to Austin, and I was 212 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: programming at the Beat in Austin, and then left there, 213 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: went to went to k one of Foreign Dallas. Left there, 214 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: went to their competition and then put Ricky Smiley in 215 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: the syndication. Left there, went back home to Philly, became 216 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: the first director of social media for his Fortune five company. 217 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: And then I said, you know what, I'm done retireing. 218 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: And I said, and that's when I said, you know what, 219 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: I can make this money without having to dance or 220 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: go to somebody's car dealership. You know what I'm saying, Like, 221 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: they'll just make you do these appearances and it's not 222 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: enough to really it's enough to make you feel good, 223 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: but it's not enough to sustain you. They'll never pay 224 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: you enough to live next to the CEO. And I 225 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: just I wasn't for that. And so I realized, if 226 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: I'm making them millions, I can make myself that without them. 227 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: It's not the machine where the where the machine? They 228 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: need us, you know? And I think a lot of 229 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: performers are starting to wake up to that, you know, 230 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: especially now that they've got gred three sixty. There's the 231 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: whole thing. They're doing three sixty deals in radio. Now 232 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: that's crazy. Is it money and franchise? I say, if 233 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to buy like a a fast food uh, 234 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: change just jumping into that as the money in that 235 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: It depends on the chain. Chick fil A money Chick 236 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: fil A yes, m McDonald's hell yes. And there's a difference. 237 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: So with Chick fil A, your base sickly paying. You're 238 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: basically buying into a system so that you can be 239 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: a manager. You don't fully own it. With McDonald's, you 240 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: fully own it, but you have to have enough money. 241 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: If last when I looked into it, you have to 242 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: have enough money to have at least two franchises because 243 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: they want to make sure you're not going to go down. 244 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: But at least you own it, you know, but you're 245 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: leasing from them the whole schmir there's money in franchise 246 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: and you don't have to have started a business from 247 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: the ground up. You can lease businesses. Hell, I'm about 248 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: to license my coaching business. In other words, I'm done 249 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 1: with coaching for me, I have a team. Oh absolutely no, 250 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: I'm only dealing with high end client right. But like 251 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: the folks that are trying to get just five figure, 252 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: six figure months, I'm leaving that to my team, you know. Um. 253 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: And for a while I thought that because you know, 254 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: Gary V. Grant, car Down, Um, Robert Kiyosaki. They don't 255 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: do like if you go to a Robert Kisaki conference, 256 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna see Robert Kiasaki. I was always I'm 257 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: going to be the man of the people. You know, 258 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: even Damon John, who's the people's shark, he don't show 259 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: up to his own conferences nine times out intended software 260 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: speaking engagement. Though, there's a certain level of distance you 261 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: gotta have. And I realized it's because after a while 262 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: it drained you. Because the people who are low level 263 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: and this is no dis to anybody. I'm talking from 264 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: a financial standpoint, they have a low level mindset and 265 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: it has to be changed. Even the Bible says, don't 266 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the 267 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: renewing of your mind. Every level requires a new you. 268 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: And what happens is a lot of us stay with 269 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: the old us and still want new money, and that's 270 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: not how that works. And so you gotta put yourself 271 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: in a position where you gotta move past that. And 272 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: so franchising is a great way to do that. Setting 273 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: up licensing is a great way to do that. Okay. 274 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: So for example, um, you can't use you can't use 275 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: my name and my likeness without my express written permission. 276 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: The same thing if you watch a football game, this 277 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: game cannot be broadcast without the express person of the 278 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: National Football League. That's what that means. Right. So if 279 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: I'm giving you permission to use my name to go 280 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: close business, and I'm setting you up with all the 281 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: tools in the territory, I just get a kickback from 282 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: the work that you've done. So now you're working. I'm not, 283 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: but you're utilizing my name, my skills, what I what 284 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: I bring to the table, and you're making money off 285 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: of it. You're you didn't invent happy Meals, but you 286 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: are a McDonald's franchise e, so now you benefit off 287 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: of Ronald McDonald and Grimace and everybody damn else, you know. 288 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: So that's that's that's where it comes down to. It's 289 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: an easy way to make money. You got a little money, 290 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: what what's the best uh businesses to start up for 291 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: people with with with with small and and not a 292 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: lot of money. Uh ten grand. First thing I would 293 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: do is I would lease. I release as much office 294 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: space as humanly possible. And I want to tell you 295 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: why there are people who are trained. A matter of fact, 296 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: this entire country is conditioned, regardless of race, culture, social 297 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: economic climate. They're all conditioned. Go to school, become a doctor, 298 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: become a lawyer, become an archae text. I don't need yet. Well, 299 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, for us, you know what the biggest say, 300 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: crack rocket have a wicked jump shout of you know. 301 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. If in fact you go to 302 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: school that many how much of your life are you wasting? 303 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: You're wasting your entire twenties in school after already being 304 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: in school from three to one. I am not a doctor, 305 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: but I can easily go out here right now and 306 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: buy a medical office. I can lease the equipment. I'm 307 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: going to get kicked backs from the state. And then 308 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: all I gotta do is find doctors out of medical school, 309 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: because most of them, after they've completed their residency, guess 310 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: what they want to do. They want to follow the system. 311 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: But if you say, hey, I can make you cash rich, 312 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, in a year as opposed to a cash 313 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: rich in ten Because most of these doctors who go 314 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: work for you know, different type of hospital systems or 315 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: medical facilities. They're struggling because they still gotta look like 316 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: they got those things. Plus they're paying over three hundred 317 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in medical um in medical school bills, right, 318 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: student loans and things of that nature. But if I 319 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: can get your solid after you complete your residency, you've 320 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: got an office, you're able to put a story behind that. 321 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: The majority of these folks that that don't understand this. 322 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: It comes down to marketing, right. Like my daughter has 323 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: a friend and she said, well, I'm going to go 324 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: to nurses course it don't be an idiot, go be 325 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: a doctor.

That way, 334 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: you got everything covered for the most part outside of 335 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: and to rent. Average medical office six thirty five dollars 336 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: a month. Yeah, yeah, that's just the office.

You're 338 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: gonna get that back when you're write off, especially if 339 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna do it quarterly. Now, again, this is just 340 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: me going off the top of my head. I am 341 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: not the countant. How do you get the resources to 342 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: rent the equipment? Well, most medical most medical facilities or 343 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: most medical companies will come will come to you. You 344 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: can find them, all of those doctors and usually know 345 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: where to go. In that case, you know, it's just 346 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: like y'all are rappers. Y'all know where a studio is. 347 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: What I'm saying, you have to have more than just 348 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. You gotta have some type of collateral. 349 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: You gotta have some type of credit, something you gotta 350 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: ask the you gotta have something in order to get that. 351 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: They're not just gonna give you a hundred thousand dollars 352 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: in equipment or a hundred and fifty dollars in equipment 353 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: just because you have an office. No, but if you 354 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: come in with a business plan and some projections, they will, 355 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: and then you can always go to private You can 356 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: always go to private funding and private donors. Most other 357 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: people go to private funding. We're the only people going 358 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: to the bank, like Oliver twists, please si, here's everything 359 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 1: I plan to do. Might I have money? Then they 360 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: say no, And then all of a sudden your stuff 361 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: just winds up with somebody else automatically. We're the only 362 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: people that go begging for some to else who does 363 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: not like us, does not want us here, does not 364 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: care for us to findance our dream. Even Dr Claudie 365 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: and is in no relation. But I love Uncle Claude. 366 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: He says, you ought to be ashamed of yourself if 367 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: you're sending your child out of your neighborhood, out of 368 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: your house, to go work in somebody else's neighborhood in 369 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: order to provide for themselves. So like for me, it's 370 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: it's not it's it's really not that hard, because we 371 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: can find a way to get every damn thing else 372 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: we want. But when it comes time to do the 373 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: thing that actually matters, the thing of it is the 374 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: first step is finding a place. Once you find a place, 375 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: and then you have those projections. Listen, name a place 376 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: in America where a kid doesn't get sick. Name a 377 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: place where a woman doesn't get a pap smere. Name 378 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: a place where you know, just a regular, everyday, average 379 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: yo doesn't have a cough. I've covered all three, So 380 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: the numbers year over year are going to grow. And 381 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: then plus, once you have good service and a great 382 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: system in place, everything comes. The pharmaceutical texts are gonna come, 383 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: The pharmaceutical reps are gonna come. Um, you're gonna have 384 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: medical billing and coding. You're creating jobs in your career 385 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: an atmosphere where those things can happen. So yes, you're right. 386 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: It's not just ten thousand, but ten thousands more than 387 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: enough to get that situation started. And the rest of 388 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: that can be subsidized. And even with that, you're going 389 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: to get it either at the end of the quarter 390 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: or at the end of the year, depending on how 391 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: you file m H. You mentioned Ricky Smiley, you kind 392 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: of just kind of like just gloss right on over that. 393 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley, one of the most successful guys in radio. He's, well, 394 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, so, how did you get Ricky Smiley syndicated? Okay, 395 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: so long story very short. Ricky had gone through about 396 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: six or seven producers when I came along. I left 397 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: K one oh four K one oh four, UM was 398 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: Ricky's competition in Dallas. UM. I knew what they were 399 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: doing because I was there every day, and so I 400 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: had had plenty of experience producing morning shows and things 401 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: of that nature. The producer that was there, they weren't 402 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: happy with perfect timing. I come through, so on and 403 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: so forth. And I had known Ricky from when I 404 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: was doing stand up because he paid me out of 405 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: his pocket when I was in Faytteville, North Carolina to 406 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: open for him. So there was that connection. And then 407 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: at that point it was Okay, we know how to 408 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: beat them. Let's go beat them. And then we beat 409 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: them twice so they couldn't say it was a fluke. 410 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: So now they had to make good on the promise. 411 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: The company had to make good on the promise that 412 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: they made Ricky, which was will put you in syndication, 413 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: And so they gave us, uh, they gave us Augusta, 414 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: Georgia and St. Louis two markets that didn't want us. 415 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: But all I did was continue to go in and 416 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: I painted the picture. A lot of times people don't understand. 417 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: It's not what actually is happening, but it's the narrative 418 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: that counts. So if I continuously tell you that Ricky 419 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: Smiley is a superstar comedian, if I tell you that 420 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley is an icon, that he's not some chipland 421 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: circuit BT cross dressing comedian like, he's actually funny like 422 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: looking like he's the king of prank calls. He does this, 423 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: he does that, and then you got people like Nephew 424 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: Tommy giving him praise. He got Royalwood Jr. Given him praise. 425 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: And then when we have interviews, I make sure that 426 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: I protect Ricky, but use all the other talents to 427 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: ask the tough, hard hitting questions so that I protect 428 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: the main guy, so he's never the bad guy. He's 429 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: just there to make him laugh. All right, y'all, Ricky's 430 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: Momley Morning Show? Hey crack, what's you got? So you 431 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: know your wife looks like a werewolf? You see what 432 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying at that point, Then you take those clips 433 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: and then you put them on media takeout, you send 434 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: them to TMZ and then you start making demos that 435 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: say he's a superstar comedian, he did this, We're on 436 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: the front page of media. Take out this that in 437 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: the third as soon as I get you to where 438 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: you need to be. At that point, nobody wants to 439 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: miss out. That's where FOMO comes in, fear of missing out. 440 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: So if I have the hottest show and I'm saying, listen, 441 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: we need to be in Miami, Hey, Miami, this is 442 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: what we're going to do. Right If I say, hey, 443 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: we need to be in Baltimore, Hey, Baltimore, this is 444 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, and then the the first show, 445 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Barack Obama's on it, Bang, what are you gonna say? 446 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: There was a point and this is a true story 447 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: my hand of God. Um, there we're going to have 448 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: like Puffy was promoting Raising in the Sun with Sinalathan 449 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: and they were gonna do Toime Joiner, then Steve Harvey, 450 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: then Ricky Smiley, and I said, um, I don't want 451 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: to point this out to somebody, but somebody might want 452 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: to tell Puffy that I'm the only show that's playing 453 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: bad boy music. Tom and Steve aren't playing no hip hop. 454 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: So if Puffy's on any show before he comes on Ricky's. 455 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: We're not gonna play bad boy anything. And that's gonna 456 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: hurt my heart because I'm a Puffy fan, but I'll 457 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: make it happen because I'm willing to be that guy 458 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: for my talent. Who showed was you on First Mine 459 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: and he bought Sana with him, So like that's how 460 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: you move, Yeah, that's how you move. Absolutely, boys. Reloaded 461 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: podcast will keep right back after the street. Where did 462 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: this business acting and come from? Though? Um? To be 463 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: honest with you, so my great great grandfather migrated to 464 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: this country, um um, India, and he had barbershops in Pittsburgh. 465 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: So that's the first entrepreneur I can find in my bloodline. 466 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: But closer to me, my mother and my father had 467 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: different takes on entrepreneurship. My mother was a teacher and 468 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: she was also a hairstylist, and so I didn't know 469 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: that part, but I knew you had somebody and your 470 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: family had some education background, you know. So my mom 471 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: was a teacher and a hairstylist. And so if you've 472 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: ever gone into a hair salon and seeing like TV's 473 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: on the wall, wine and cheese trays, like environments and 474 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: make you comfortable. My mama called that the girlfriend right. 475 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: All that my mama called that the girlfriend experience. She 476 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: was doing that in the seventies and the eighties, so 477 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: now everybody does it right. My dad had a corner 478 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: store in the hood in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which is the 479 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: capital of Pennsylvania. And what he did in order to 480 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: get people to come to the store was he got 481 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: the two top arcade games and he would go to 482 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: his supply and find out who what the two top 483 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: arcade games, and as soon as one got still, he pulled, 484 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: he pulled it out, put another one in, and then 485 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: he would put quarters in there. And what was happening 486 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: was all the neighborhood kids that couldn't afford the Nintendo 487 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: Superintendo to take in Genesis whatever. They would come to 488 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: the store. He would load it up with quarters and 489 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: then the mom will go, well, baby, go get me 490 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: a pack of cigarettes, Go get some red go get 491 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: this that in a third And after a while it 492 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: became a situation where they were constantly in the store 493 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: and the stores very successful. So I saw two different 494 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: individuals take different approaches to solve the same problem, and 495 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: like it was. It was all around me, you know. 496 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: My brother was My brother was a hustler, you know, 497 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: so I was blessed with watching people make moves. And 498 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: then even outside of that, in order to make ends meet, 499 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: my mom would go to like thrift stores and like 500 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: grab different things and take a glue gun and start 501 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: selling these pins the white folks at at her school 502 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: where she taught, and they would pay top dollar for 503 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: him because she would take a glue gun and take 504 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: subway tokens, pieces of plastic from old like old Barbie 505 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: dolls or whatever, and like make these crazy pins and 506 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: brooches and whatnot, and they would buy them like left 507 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: and right, and she she would just kill it. So 508 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: like at that point, I realized that nothing was impossible. 509 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: And so like I've always had this thing like a bumblebee, 510 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: Like bumblebees are fat, small wings, shouldn't fly, but they 511 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: don't know a damn thing about your science, so they 512 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: fly anyway. So that's just what it is. So did 513 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: you get this information from your parents would sit downs, 514 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: or did you just absorb this information by just watching experience? 515 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: I watched And then when I was seven years old, 516 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: my dad put me behind the register and after a while, 517 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: Like I wasn't really good at math, but you put 518 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: the dollars in front of it's a different ball game. 519 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: So if it was it was a dollar sixty, gave 520 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: me two dollars and my dad be like, what is that. 521 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's forty cent. Snickle down the court. You 522 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: know he was he was training me without training me. 523 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: He just threw me into the fire. He didn't put 524 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: limits on me, like nowadays you wouldn't put a seven 525 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: year old behind the cast register, but he did, you know, 526 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: And that's called parenting. We don't do that anymore, we 527 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: we we we we bubble over our children. We worry 528 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: about them. We we don't let them win or lose, 529 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: or learn how to how to how to move, how 530 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: to figure things out of solve problems, to scrape their knees. 531 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: And so I was blessed in that I didn't get 532 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: that that winey old pussy foot tenth place, you know 533 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: in title man, I was given an opportunity to continue 534 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: to grow and flourish. And whatever I was, whatever I 535 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: said I wanted to do, I had to do it. 536 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: And if I wanted to quit, I could quit, but 537 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: I could never pick it back up. So I was 538 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: really selective in what I picked, but I never quit anything. 539 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: You know, you co blooded on that social media man, 540 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: and sometimes you know you you're very, very very direct, 541 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: and it was some of the language can be course, 542 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: And so how do you navigate that with your job 543 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: as a professor at Temple University, one of the most 544 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: prestigious universities out there. Uh? Well, first, it's my alma mater. Second, 545 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: you ever see Men in Black Too? I did not. 546 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: There's a scene in Men in Black Too where Will 547 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: Smith has taken over basically the spot that Tommy Lee 548 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: Jones had, but they had to go get Tommy Lee 549 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: Jones for something else, and they, you know, they reanimated him. 550 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: They got him, got him his memory back, and he 551 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: was like, yo, I remember this. I dropped the car. 552 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: He said, no, no, no, you dropped the olden busted. 553 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: I dropped a new hotness. He was like, this is 554 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: the new hotness. You're old and busted. It's okay to 555 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: talk about social media, it's okay to talk about marketing, 556 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: but are you doing it? I'm the guy who's doing it. 557 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm also the same guy that went to Temple University. 558 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: And when they said that there couldn't be a radio 559 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: station that students were running. I sat in front of 560 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: the President's office for ten days until he gave me 561 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: a budget and built a radio station that still runs 562 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: to this day years later. That's the difference. And by 563 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: the way, if my language is the problem, argue with 564 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: my results, because you wouldn't have an issue, not you, 565 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: Mr Willie T. But nobody has an issue. When Gary V, 566 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: who was one of my dearest friends, when Gary V 567 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: says fuck or ship or where's a hoodie? Nobody bats 568 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: and I but I do. Oh lord, what's you doing? David? 569 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: And he said you was gonna make it hard for 570 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: all of it. No, I'm not. You're so worried about 571 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: what everybody else will think about you that you can 572 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: never be your true, authentic self, which tells me you 573 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: can never be happy with me. Is You're gonna be 574 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: a sip, a sap, a sucker to the game for 575 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: the rest of your life. And I would rather die. 576 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: Was there any point in your coaching, your teaching that 577 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: you thought to yourself, maybe I am being a little 578 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: too hard? Absolutely? And how did you reconcile. I hired 579 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: people who were soft, so here's the thing. There's there. 580 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: There's there's a difference when Scarface Willie D says listen, 581 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: we need X, Y and Z then and they're like, 582 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: all right, well, you know, we can't really do that 583 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: right now, and then somebody else comes in and says, listen, guys, 584 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: you're talking about rab icons. You're talking about people that 585 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: literally changed the course of hip hop, who put Houston 586 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: on the map. So at some point, whether you like 587 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: them or not, you have to respect what they have 588 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: done for this culture, what they have done for black people, 589 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: what they have done for music, and what they have 590 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: done from manhood. So by that you gotta give them 591 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: what they're asking for. Otherwise they'll go out and get 592 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: it anyway. Man, I gotta meeting tomorrow. I come on, 593 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: come with no problem. Listen. As long as you got 594 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: the check, I am there. There's only two things that 595 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: I require, the check and the will. You know, but 596 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: the will meaning the willingness to the real automatically let's 597 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: go get this money. But the thing of it is, 598 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: I know that some people respond to a certain level 599 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: of softness, right which is why of my staff, you know, 600 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: are black women. You know, even though society will say, 601 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: oh what black women at this and black women, No, 602 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: black women are amazing. Black women are receptive. Black women 603 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 1: are are are completely sensitive to what's happening around them. 604 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: They are perceptive. They have a damn near psychic empathic 605 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: way of getting a message across. And either way, I'm 606 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: still getting the result. And the thing of it is 607 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: a lot of us are so afraid to bury our 608 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: egos because if we're not the one actually driving the bus, 609 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: then we feel like we lose something anytime I do something, 610 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: whether it's I'll give you better example, Puffy, don't touch 611 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: no boards, Let's just keep it a buck, Puffy, don't 612 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: play no instruments. Every record that Stevie J and the 613 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: hit Man did, Puffy gets credit for no just the puff. 614 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: Puffy is one of my favorites. But it's still a 615 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: feather in his cap. And you understood that people who 616 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: lead and are successful understand that you can lead without 617 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: having to be the one that does everything. And so 618 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: somebody requires a different approach. I know where the Senate, 619 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: I have a chief heart officer, somebody who just loves 620 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: all my clients. I have somebody who just handles onboarding. 621 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: I have somebody that Okay, you're afraid of the camera, 622 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: Mr Scarface, It's okay. I'm going to walk you through. 623 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: And I have a guy who just does that because 624 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: the difference between me and other people is I don't 625 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: want you to have to go anywhere else. I want 626 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: you to stay in my universe for as long as 627 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: possible for two reasons. Number One, I want you to 628 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: depend on me because I will make you where you 629 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: want to be based on what you say you want, 630 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: not what I say I want for you. Secondly, if 631 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: I handle it in house, I know it's going to 632 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: be done right. I know you're not going to go 633 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: to five. I know you're not going to go to 634 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: upwork and roll the dice. I have already found the 635 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: best people to do what makes sense for us. And 636 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: with that, yeah, it's cool. So like, you don't really 637 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: have to deal with me. And at this level, I'm 638 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: literally turning over my five and six figure earning clients 639 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: to my team. So I'll pop in because I own it. 640 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I'm only dealing with high earning six 641 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: and high earning seven eight figure clients. Church, you're sounding 642 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: like the church he beat in the church is the 643 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: church sending it like Jesus. I mean this is this 644 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: is dope, man, this is a dope title. You got 645 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: the you have to correct me here. You got the 646 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: white ground Jesus and the Black Jesus. Absolutely so I got, 647 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: I got, I got hey Zeus, and I got ned 648 00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: d Wino. What what Mr Scarface? You had put your 649 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: classes down, sir. Just explain this title though, Okay, So 650 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: like Jesus. Here's the thing when you explain it. So, 651 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: like Jesus, for two thousand years, the concept of Jesus Christ, 652 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: the concept of a savior has been going strong. It 653 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,959 Speaker 1: has not wavered in the black community. Over thirty three 654 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: million every Sunday is collected and ties and offer in 655 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: the Black church. Every Sunday a collective thirty three million dollars. 656 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: It's collected and ties. Come on, be ridiculous, man, I 657 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: love you with a lot of money, man, period on 658 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: one Sunday, and that's it. You're probably right, it's probably low. 659 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: It's probably low. But man, I'm in the wrong business. 660 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: Oh it gets better. Think about all the Christian movies, 661 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: Think about all the Christian what's a Christian movie? So 662 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: there's a network passing the crisis like that? Yeah, that's 663 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: that's a Christian movie. Um, there's one call Facing the Giants. 664 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: There's one that was produced I don't know if it 665 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: was produced by by Tyler Perry, but I know it 666 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: has Taraji Henson and God what Marris Chestnut in it. Um, 667 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: Like I think it's like Ties Tie Has Never Broken 668 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: and something like that. I watched it once. It's like 669 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: a movie about marriage and all that kind of good stuff. 670 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: So these Christian movies, you know, anything with the name 671 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: of Jesus is going to sell. Think about it. If 672 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: you were to go to showtime at the Apollo and 673 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: say I'm doing this for Jesus, they won't buy you. 674 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: That's power. That is sales. What a preachers saying the pulpit, 675 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: every siding, what a man rob God not go on? Now? 676 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: You see we got the collection place not noticed. There 677 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: are two things in the black community, generally speaking, because 678 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna say not all, not my pastor yeah, we 679 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: get it. But I'm also I'm also a minister. I've 680 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: been to seminary. I know how this goes there. There 681 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: are two things in the black community. And when I 682 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: say that, I'm talking about densely populated black neighborhoods that 683 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: are run down normally, that are always pristine. The liquor 684 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: store was in the churches. Churches don't ever miss Christ 685 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: Team super clean. Ain't ain't ain't nare a piece of dust, dirt, graffiti, neair, 686 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: nothing on those churches. And I'm not even going to 687 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: dive into the money that they get from the government 688 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: for faith based initiatives because you know, then we start 689 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: dealing initiatives than break that down for me to faith 690 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: based initiative. Basically, it is government hush money so that 691 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: the government can do whatever the heck they want to do. 692 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: Like if you go back and you look, George W. 693 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: Bush went to a whole bunch of churches, including the 694 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: Black Church. Why does why does politicians attack churches like 695 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: that when it's time to run, because it's easy to 696 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: get them on board. Because listen, most people who claim 697 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: that they love this man who died for our sins, 698 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: if that's what you believe, they love the spotlight more 699 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: than they love their eternal soul. They like their house 700 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: on the hill. They like that even if they're not 701 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: a rich megachurch. They like the position of pastoring in 702 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: That goes back to slavery. Think about this for a minute. 703 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: When Massa gave us and gave our ancestors hand me downs, 704 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: we only were the best hand me downs on Sunday. 705 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: That's where the term Sunday best came through. And it 706 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: was the only place on Masses Land where you actually 707 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: had a position of power. That's why there's so many deacons. 708 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: That's why there's usher boards, That's why there's all these 709 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: positions because black folks want to feel like they got 710 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: some power. So if you manipulate and you continue to 711 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: push that top of the button, then guess what If 712 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: I got the church, I got the people. Because you 713 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: know what Martin Luther King did when he had his meetings, 714 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: aside from going to a couple of diners and cafes 715 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: to to map out a few things, you know where 716 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: he went churches. You know who hosted him, Churches who 717 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: holst in Malcolm churches, who olst to Garvey churches. So 718 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 1: if we make sure that the churches are paid off, 719 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: if we make sure that the churches are well taken 720 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: care of, then we don't ever have to worry about 721 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,240 Speaker 1: any type of leader coming out of there doing anything 722 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: worth talking about. Now, do we why wouldn't I control 723 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: them if I want to control the people as their 724 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: God goes. So do you do you believe that people 725 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: who are in the ministry or the clergy or whatever 726 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: it should be properly compensated. Should they live well? Should 727 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: they live well? I think they should live well. Absolutely. 728 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: But my whole thing is this, you should not be 729 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: talking about buying your first, Lady Bentley, if you've got 730 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: people walking, if you've got people catching the bus, if 731 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: you've got people given their last, because you can't preach 732 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,919 Speaker 1: abundance when there's lack in your pews. That math ain't 733 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: mathing for me. It makes absolutely no sense. And I 734 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: think there's a problem. Even if you look at fifty 735 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: cents how to rob he said, you think this is bad? 736 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: To look for the sequel. I gotta get Kirk Franklin 737 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: for robbing God's people. And I think he was using 738 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: Kirk Franklin as a bigger figure, you know, just so 739 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: that people can understand it. But the church is basically 740 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: robbing the people, not all churches. And I'm not saying 741 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: churches don't do no good, Yes, sir, they're the people, 742 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: Like you said, I don't love them that's uh in 743 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: a peace cathedral. Really, you don't even go to no church. 744 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: Man got to go to church to know what somebody 745 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: ain't robbing the church. I can see what certain cats 746 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: are doing, bro, I can see if somebody, if somebody 747 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,399 Speaker 1: is given and spending their own money. Some of these 748 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: pastors actually spend their own money to keep the doors open. 749 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: I got a cool pastor to man, you know, it's 750 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: like we don't got no big church, right Usually usually 751 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: like it's it's the smaller churches. The guys with the 752 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: smaller churches are the wares who are more authentic, absolutely 753 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: not been corrupted yet absolute power. As I was, I 754 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: was this guy, um, I was talking about how the 755 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: preachers was getting the money from the church. Remember that 756 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: the preacher that there was a pastor actually that was 757 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: talking about that saying that that that the church really 758 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: need that kind of money or something and not those words. 759 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not I don't know what he saw. 760 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: I know what he's talking about. I can't really you 761 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: know who I'm talking about. Two But the thing of 762 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: it is like it's very simple.

Oh, 792 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: I love him the past. But but when when I 793 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: when I see the title of sell It like Jesus, 794 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: it puts me in the mindset of of of of 795 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: somebody selling something like they're selling Jesus. Here's the thing 796 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: sound like it sounds like it sounds like me. But 797 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: the thing of it is, it's not. Here's what the 798 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: book is actually about. There are people who follow God 799 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: who don't want to bop their heads to Kirk Franklin 800 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: because that sounds a little too worldly. There are people 801 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: who believe that being poor is a thing. There's no 802 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: such evidence of Jesus ever being poor. First of all, 803 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: there was no room at the end. So if I 804 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 1: if I flew. I flew to Houston today, right, and 805 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: last minute I got a hotel. If that hotel that 806 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: I wanted, say it was a semester or something, didn't 807 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 1: have a vacancy, that doesn't mean I didn't have the 808 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: money to pay for it, just that there was no 809 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: room at the end. That's the difference. So he was 810 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: born in a major out of lack of room, not 811 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: lack of money. Right, But if we paint Jesus as 812 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: a poor man and and no such thing, and even 813 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: in those days, if you go back, you realize that 814 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: every father's responsibility was to make sure that their child 815 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: had a trade, something we need to get back into. 816 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: And so the thing of it is he had skills, 817 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: he knew exactly what to do. There's evidence that he 818 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: did utilize his skills, so there's no evidence of him 819 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: actually being broke. He also had too many money men 820 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: on the tent. Judas and Matthew were money men. So 821 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: if we're talking honestly, we realize if you just take 822 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: five seconds and read the book, not this book, but 823 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: the actual Bible, you will realize that what they're pushing 824 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: to you is nonsense. And so my whole thing is 825 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: if you're feeling icky about sales. I need you to 826 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: understand that everything is sales. Everything is getting people to 827 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: feel comfortable about the decision that they're making. Everything that 828 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: you have ever done in your life, whether you have 829 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: gotten a woman to make love to you, or whether 830 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: you've got your mama to give you a yo yo 831 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: out of a grocery store, it it still sells. And 832 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: there's nothing icky about that because you have to live. 833 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: And what did Jesus say, render onto Caesar? What is 834 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: Caesar's render under God? What is God's right? So if 835 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: that's the case, then he understood that there was a 836 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: reason for money. We understood that there's a reason for growth. 837 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: And if you were out of order, that's when he 838 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: flipped over the money changes tables because they were robbing people, 839 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: not because they were exchanging money. See, this is the 840 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: type of stuff that people need to hear because there 841 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: are people out there, and I'm just go in and 842 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: call out y'all people and black people, y'all people out 843 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: there who feel like when they see a black person 844 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: getting too much money, they got to be bought. They 845 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: gotta be they have that so have so they got 846 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: to be a part of the Illuminati, Like, can you 847 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: pinpoint like at what point that people get to be 848 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: like have this type of mentality.

So let's cut all that Illuminati 854 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: ship out right now.

Oh god, 868 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: now if you have that conversation, who they had a 869 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: conversation with you? So listen.

But I mean you can look because 880 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: there are certain people who have sold out arenas and 881 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden because they did not have the conversation, 882 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: you can't find them no more. Or people who you 883 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: know are so talented. I'm not going to name names, 884 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: but they're so talented. Do they do voices and different 885 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: impersonations who were funnier than anybody in SNL history on 886 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: a different show. But now you know they're pariah. But 887 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, then you put up a fat girl. You 888 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: you you let her come out, and you let her 889 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: wear her ass out on the floor of a basketball game, 890 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: where any other woman who was in shape, who was 891 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: what we would consider a traditional standard of beauty for 892 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: a black woman, would be arrested, called ratchet and everything else. 893 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: But they let her do it, and then they reward 894 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: her by letting her play a slave master's flude who 895 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 1: never ever free the slaves, never put anything this will 896 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: free his slaves. So you have to ask yourself, how 897 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: are certain people just automatically just go into the stratosphere. 898 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: Some people are having that conversation. If you don't have it, 899 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: you either wind up in jail, you wind up crazy, 900 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: you wind up never heard of again. Now, when that's 901 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 1: a great point. When I heard uh and you absolutely correct. 902 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: When I heard about the flute, the crystal flute played 903 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: of James Madison, sir my, immediately my immediate response was wow. 904 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: And then I was like, I thought about how it 905 00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: made the conservative right. They will piste, they will piss 906 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: They was talking talking all kind of trash by the 907 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: call everything but the child of God. And then I 908 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: actually was proud that she did it, because I like 909 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: I like anything they hate I love anything they love. 910 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 1: I hate, I hate, I absolutely hate. So I was like, 911 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: so after I realized that they hated it, they was 912 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: mad at him, I was like, hell, okay, do the thing. Listen. 913 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: She should have stuck it between her legs. I mean, 914 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm surprised she didn't. But here, here's here's my issue. Right, 915 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: every ten years or so, they find somebody like that 916 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: to put up ten years before Lizzo was gathering Cita Bay. 917 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: It's never anybody who is a threat to their idea 918 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: of blond hair, blue eye femininity. It's the same thing 919 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: with black men, like big black men, black men that 920 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 1: have big muscles, any any black black man that they 921 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: try to come in a quick they try to come 922 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: in and real quick and emasculate him immediately, you know 923 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,959 Speaker 1: the cruise.

We said, Once 951 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: upon a time there was a little boy and a 952 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,439 Speaker 1: little girl, and they decided to wander off in the woods, 953 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: and they little put little bread comes out, and they 954 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 1: wound up at this house, and it was made of 955 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: gingerbread and candy and cookies and all these wonderful things. 956 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: And the witch tried to eat them exactly. You know. 957 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: Once upon the time there was a little girl went 958 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: to see her grandmother, and there was a wolf in 959 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: the bed, you know, and the woodsman had to come 960 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: cut it out. Or there was a boy who cried wolf. 961 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: We tell stories in order to allow people to understand 962 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: what is happening around them. Jesus told stories. He talked 963 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: about a particle son. There's no reverence of a partical son. 964 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: It's a story, Jesus. There's no evidence in the prod 965 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: of a particle son. It's a story Jesus told in 966 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: order to illustrate a point, meaning that you got two boys. 967 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: One that stays home, no, I'm listening. You got one 968 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: that stays home and does everything right. And you got 969 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 1: one and said, hey, mom, Dad, give me my inheritance. 970 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: And now I don't wait till y'all die, and I'm 971 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna go out here and I'm gonna find my own 972 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: way in the world.

He put his finest robe on him. 975 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 1: He put a ring on him and celebrated because his 976 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: son came home. What Jesus was trying to tell folks is, yes, 977 00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: it's important that you do the work of you honor 978 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: your parents. But sometimes when somebody is lost, they got 979 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: to find out themselves. There are people that you know 980 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: in life who only learned by bumping their heads. So 981 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: he gave him. He gave an Oh you want your 982 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 1: inheritance now, boom, you got it.

And then when you 985 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: come back in, I'm gonna celebrate because then you realize 986 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: where your source is. That's powerful as opposed to and 987 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: Isaac begat such and such and such and such begot 988 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 1: such and such, you know. And the Jesus demystified God 989 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: for people, and he said, the Kingdom of God is 990 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: like this. Do you know that when Jesus were crucified, 991 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: there was a man next to him who deserved to 992 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: be there. Jesus was tried, um, put up for parole, 993 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: found guilty, executed by the state be a crucifixion. There 994 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: was a man next to him, and he says, listen, 995 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 1: what do I do? He says, I'm going to go 996 00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: and make a place for you, and I'm paraphrases. So 997 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,240 Speaker 1: theological scholars, come on, man, stop, we went to stop. 998 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 1: But the point of it is that dude couldn't get 999 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 1: off the cross and do right. He's already he's gonna die. 1000 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: But Jesus, like, I got you because he believed on 1001 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: Jesus in that moment. That's all it took. That in 1002 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: and of itself, that man coming to Jesus when he 1003 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: did not have any way to prove that he was 1004 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: worthy of Jesus's sacrifice of jesus love. That lesson teaches 1005 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: us that nobody is too far out of reach for 1006 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: God's love. And Jesus went before God for our sins, 1007 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,760 Speaker 1: and that's living proof of it. At the last minute, 1008 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 1: when at the buzzard there's nothing else you could do, 1009 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: That's what that meant. He he humbled himself and listen, 1010 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 1: just all I got He said, I I prepare for 1011 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: your place in heaven with me. They're like, that means 1012 00:51:53,040 --> 00:52:00,760 Speaker 1: that nobody's irredeemable. Irredeemable. I'm sorry with the word listen. 1013 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't have a heaven or a hell 1014 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: to put Jeffrey Dahmer and listen. If it was up 1015 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 1: to me, and that's why I am not on the throne, 1016 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,840 Speaker 1: and that's why God don't take coffee breaks. But if 1017 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: it was up to me, like like like you know, 1018 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 1: like the one detective says, so you chose a black 1019 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: community that you know was underserved and nobody would come, 1020 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 1: and now I want one as a joke. You know, Um, 1021 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 1: you knew that nobody was gonna bother and then when 1022 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: one guy left, the cops wentn't gave him back, didn't 1023 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: do any type of investigating. I think there's a special 1024 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: place in hell for those types of people. But I 1025 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 1: also think that there's a special place in hell for 1026 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 1: people who kill their potential, who killed the gifts that 1027 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: God gave them because they just want to continue to 1028 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 1: be average. When you were the one who was supposed 1029 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: to take the trajectory of your family to a different 1030 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 1: way and you didn't that to me, is a greater 1031 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: sin than killing, because you killed generations with your apathy 1032 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: and your inability to get out of mediocrity, to your 1033 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: inability to just be average. You just do enough. And 1034 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 1: that's what we've been conditioned to. Now. Now here's the 1035 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 1: our ronic part, Mr Willie d. Even though I'm an educator, 1036 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of traditional education at all, because 1037 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 1: all it teaches us, especially in this system, is to 1038 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: learn a bunch of stuff that we're not going to 1039 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 1: use and then spit it back out. It doesn't teach 1040 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: us something that's going to be um tangible in real life. 1041 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:28,360 Speaker 1: If it did, explain explain why said listen three, I 1042 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 1: love you. But the thing of it is, explain why 1043 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: seventy people who graduate from college are not working in 1044 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 1: the thing they majored in. If college is so great, 1045 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: because most majors are bullshit underwater basketball even they're gonna 1046 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: do you nothing? What what what you're gonna do? What? 1047 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You know, with a mass 1048 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 1: communications degree, if you're not talented, if you don't have 1049 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 1: any skills, charisma, anything of that. And I'm talking as 1050 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: somebody with a mass communications degree, you know what I'm 1051 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 1: saying is the majority of folks don't make it. I'm listen. 1052 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,600 Speaker 1: You're more likely to get struck by lightning twice than 1053 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 1: to have my career. You're more likely to get struck 1054 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: by lightning four times and then be the ghetto boys 1055 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 1: most you know? How many people? Why do you think? 1056 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 1: Why do you y'all notice why record labels signed so 1057 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 1: many acts because they're throwing spaghetti up against the wall. 1058 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 1: How many people that y'all saw come and go in 1059 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,120 Speaker 1: your time where y'all were selling out Madison Square Garden, 1060 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,839 Speaker 1: which they didn't think we can come on, especially from 1061 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 1: the South. Come on, y'all said it yourself. The first 1062 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: time y'all went to New York, they boot you. The 1063 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: next time y'all went to New York sold out like 1064 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: you was Dice Clay. How many people did you see 1065 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: get signed, put out a record and fall off even 1066 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,879 Speaker 1: caressa Do you ever think about when you're out of here? 1067 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: So let's not act like this situation is the same 1068 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,719 Speaker 1: for everybody. There are people who are meant to be 1069 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: special who never act on it. That's a problem for me, 1070 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,879 Speaker 1: you know, bro, you just you just put some ship 1071 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 1: on my mind. So heavy Man's life changing man. You know, 1072 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that part about where some of 1073 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: us are in a position to change the trajectory of 1074 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,719 Speaker 1: our families, uh legacy, you know, in terms of the 1075 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 1: financial blessings that we have, the gift that we have, 1076 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: and sometimes we don't pursue those gifts for whatever reason. 1077 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,279 Speaker 1: And I do believe it's out of selfishness. I do 1078 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 1: believe too much as given, much as required. And so 1079 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 1: if you're in a position like myself, Brad or you, 1080 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: it's incompetent on us to to use our position to 1081 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 1: make sure that everybody that won't it at least get it, 1082 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, have it, because you know, 1083 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 1: there ain't a lot of us that get an opportunity 1084 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: like we have. And so you can literally have one 1085 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 1: person who can be that person can be that conduit 1086 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 1: for an entire generation, to change the entire trajectory of 1087 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 1: the finances for an tie your generation. You can take 1088 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: just one person, but you gotta put a plan together 1089 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,479 Speaker 1: and you have to be intent about it. You gotta 1090 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: be intent about it, you know.

Now that's a that's a smart question, 1145 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 1: cause you gotta ask you like, I'm just thinking that 1146 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 1: everybody knows what Ali Baba is just right, this show 1147 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 1: so much on the shows great. So anyway, you send 1148 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: that stuff directly to the Amazon Fulfillment senters, somebody somebody 1149 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 1: buys on your link, boom, you've made money. The other 1150 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: part of that is you can be an affiliate. I 1151 00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 1: have programs right now for people that don't because everybody 1152 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't have any skills. Okay, congratulates it needed to 1153 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 1: do Kardashians, but they've got billions. Right, It's about it's 1154 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 1: about exploiting something that's already there. So I'll give you 1155 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 1: an example. What's the what's what's the most undermarketed profession 1156 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: in the world. Prostitution don't need no marketing itself itself. 1157 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 1: Know that that that doesn't need marketing the same way 1158 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 1: like you know, if you are anywhere between three and 1159 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:32,960 Speaker 1: three and the energy business, energy business. You know, the 1160 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: energy business is undermarketed. But let's say, for example, you 1161 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: know what, the energy business does a horrible job of 1162 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 1: social media. So think about all these independent energy sales people. 1163 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,360 Speaker 1: All these folks that buy in, they get they get 1164 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: their electric license so they can, you know, siphon off whatever. 1165 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: And they're licensing that electricity from a large power company, 1166 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 1: the same way everybody siphons off their cellular service from 1167 01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 1: particular companies. Not plugging any names on your show, Um, 1168 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 1: the problem is nobody is going to where the people are. 1169 01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 1: We're past the phone book, right, We're past letters with 1170 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 1: direct mail. If you're lucky, if you get a two 1171 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 1: percent return on direct mail, right, you're lucky. If you're 1172 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: getting a open rate for an email list, right, So 1173 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 1: how do you reach people where they are? Well, everybody's 1174 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: glued to their phones. So what I would do is 1175 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 1: I would create a social media marketing agency that only 1176 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,960 Speaker 1: focused on independent electrical providers, and I would say, hey, 1177 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Mr independent electric provider, pay me a month and you 1178 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 1: tell me what your goal is and I will get 1179 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,800 Speaker 1: you there, whether it's through SEO, whether it is through 1180 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 1: uh LinkedIn, whether it is through Facebook ads, whether it 1181 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: is through influencer marketing, and you hire my agency to 1182 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 1: represent you. And that's all. I focus on Orthodonis to 1183 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 1: some of the worst marketers, but there's some of the 1184 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 1: best money makers. Only the best ones understand that it's 1185 01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 1: important to market to your kids because if your kid 1186 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 1: needs racists and have cricket heath, you're just gonna look 1187 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 1: for an Orthodonus that's close to you. So if you've 1188 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 1: got an Orthodonics facility that has video games, that has systems, incentives, 1189 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 1: programs that can help parents with lower, lower or moderate incomes, 1190 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,920 Speaker 1: you're going to win. But the quickest way to get 1191 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 1: there put them on TikTok. Put them on I g 1192 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 1: start shooting some videos and I'm not talking about dancing 1193 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: like a coon. I'm talking about literally doing what your 1194 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,320 Speaker 1: competition will not do, which is, hey, your kid has 1195 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: your mouth, let me help you fix it pain free, 1196 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: so that your child doesn't go through life being called 1197 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: trap jaw dirt simple because we gotta start talking about 1198 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 1: what the problem is in order them to understand what 1199 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 1: the solution is. They all know they need braces, but 1200 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: what does that do for a kid's self esteem? If 1201 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,479 Speaker 1: you play to what it's going to fix inside the kid? Listen. 1202 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all have children, I do, and 1203 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: my main job when it comes to my daughters is 1204 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 1: making sure that their self esteem is intact so that 1205 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 1: they don't go seeking it from some other man or 1206 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 1: some other person. And the way I do I build 1207 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 1: them up with what they actually are great at and 1208 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't focus on what they're not good at. That's 1209 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 1: the thing. What wouldn't you do for your kids? I 1210 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,480 Speaker 1: paid six racks for my kid to get her get 1211 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: her braces on, and I do it again happily. Will 1212 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:19,560 Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a limit on what you would do 1213 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 1: for your kid, because absolutely, your children are your legacy, 1214 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: and you know so. I do no parents who that 1215 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 1: kid turn. I done my part, you know, and that 1216 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: kid will fail and it's your fault. And you are 1217 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: to be you ought to be drug out to the 1218 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 1: street because there are people who understand that the value 1219 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: is in families, the value is in your last name. 1220 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: And I want to sit down with every single person 1221 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,800 Speaker 1: that does this thing now. And I see it a 1222 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 1: lot with women more than I see it with men. 1223 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: This thing where they just drop off their last name. 1224 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm Michelle, and they know you're not your Michelle, and 1225 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 1: they Jenkins. Why can't you make the Jenkins name means 1226 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: something that Anderson name means something. Now there are people say, listen, 1227 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't have Dave Anderson money, and you can whatever 1228 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: that means, to use whatever it means to you. But 1229 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 1: they're knowing that they have to come to me with 1230 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 1: a certain amount of UH money to invest before my 1231 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 1: team is going to do what it does. I have 1232 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,400 Speaker 1: changed the trajectory of my family for at least four generations. 1233 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,840 Speaker 1: That's the importance. There's power. There's power in our last names. 1234 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 1: But we don't look at it like that, and not 1235 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 1: from oh it was the masses last name. We just 1236 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: think that we're individuals. We we we focus on our 1237 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: selfish needs.
