Welcome to 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: my show, and h the reason I love talking about you. 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: You know you you mentioned you have a balanced life. 39 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: You know, at the very top of your questions you know. So, 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm a busy person and I will tell you I 41 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: did not understand when you slow down, when to stop, 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: when to operate my life on fear of fear of 43 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: losing an opportunity. How does one I don't want to 44 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: understand balance in their life when they're trying to be 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: successful or they are successful. Yeah, it's definitely a learning process, 46 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: and I think it varies for each person. But for me, 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: especially having a family and having four boys, one that's 48 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: in college right now, and being married for eighteen years, 49 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: you have to allow those relationships. You have to understand that. Man, 50 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 1: my children are the greatest investment that I have. They're 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: the greatest investment that I have. My relationship with my 52 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: husband the greatest investment that I have. And if we 53 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: believe in relationship currency, then who not better to invest 54 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: in than the ones that we are around our family 55 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: unit to make sure they're good. Um, being in a 56 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: relationship and and being a mother, being a wife is 57 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: very selfless. It's it's the most selfless thing a person 58 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: can do. And I think it prepares us for business, 59 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: to be quite honest, I think it prepares us and 60 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: make sure we are building up our character and make 61 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: sure we're integral. No one will tell you, you know, 62 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: the real like your own children, like your own spouse. 63 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: They hear everything now walls, kids can hear through walls. 64 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: Just let you know. Yeah, yeah, And so it's definitely 65 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: a challenge. But I think living a life of service 66 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: and understanding that our our gifts and our talents are 67 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: not just for status but to serve, I think changes 68 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: the way you do life. You know, you realize that 69 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: everything matters. You know. One of the things my mentor 70 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: used to tell me is you lead from your bedroom. 71 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: And it took me a while to figure that one out, 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: but but it is. It's very, very true. Um, the 73 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: life I have with my husband and my family are 74 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: just it's everything to me and my success it springs 75 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: from that place, from a healthy relationship, you know, and 76 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: so it's it's something that has to take precedence, it 77 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: has to be a priority in our lives, and it is. 78 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: It's a challenge now, it's a challenge, but different tools scheduling, communication, 79 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, sharing a calendar, all of those different things 80 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: really really help. And there are times that you know 81 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: your family because they understand what you're building and as 82 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: you're building this empire, you know. Per se, they get it. 83 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: They get sometimes that mommy has to sacrifice and they 84 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: understand that this is this time. You know what, mommy, 85 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: ahead you do that we want to see you when 86 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: we want to see you go, and so it's just 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: great to have that, you know, so we're in it 88 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: together and it makes a big difference. So there's times 89 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: I'll say no, you know, from my family, you know 90 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: what I mean. And there's times they'll be like, Mommy, no, 91 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: you gotta go, you gotta do this now. I love 92 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: it now. Fame is interesting because of the fact that 93 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: you know when your TV become a recognizable talent. And 94 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned some credits about being on Bravo, BT, NBC, 95 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: CBS and more basically in your television appearances that you've 96 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: made over you which which which show or what your 97 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: pearance has had the most impact on your career because 98 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: that's about branding now. Yeah, and you know, Um, for me, 99 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: I was more so behind the scenes because I'm I'm 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: you know, I'm helping my clients, you know what I mean. 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Um looked apart. So I would say one of the 102 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: biggest things was what I got to do here recently 103 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: with working with Black Girls Rock in the Summer. Um 104 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: that that was huge, That was really really a huge 105 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: huge that through social media huge or just being able 106 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: to put it on your resume. Both. I say both, because, um, 107 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: it was such an amazing just experience on a whole 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: uh to Queen Latifa, you know, she's a goat, like 109 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: just the Beyoncet. To watch her move and do her thing, 110 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: it's just absolutely fabulous. But I would definitely say it 111 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: worked in both aspects. Just getting more recognition. You know, 112 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: you work so hard, you know, for for years and years, 113 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: and it takes time for that to even happen. But 114 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: I would definitely say it impacted both. And I don't 115 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: feel like I'm at a place to where it's it's overwhelming. 116 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: I think I've gotten there. You know, I can tell 117 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: about your conversation.

You're not going to 120 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: be overwhelmed. It's gonna be truth. But right now I'm 121 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: gonna tell your truth now. Now, we talked about brands 122 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: in the in your book. I read your book, and 123 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I you know, It's always fun. When I read a 124 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: book like this, it's almost like a refresher course, like 125 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: you go to class, like you're auditing something. You go, 126 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: oh good, I am doing the right things, you know, 127 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: because the respective voice is saying the same things too. 128 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: And I consider your respective voice in the industry when 129 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: you do when you wrote the book Brand to Books, 130 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: What was the number one reason you wrote this book? 131 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Oh man, the number one thing I would go with 132 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: is being broke. Going through the experience of of of 133 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: lack is so it's so rough, especially when you're you're 134 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: you're not used to it, you're not accustomed to it. 135 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: And I remember being in this space and saying, why 136 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: am I here? Why am I losing all of these properties? 137 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: Why am I closing down my salon? Why am I 138 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: going through this? Like literally like beating on Heaven's door, 139 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: like what is up? What did I do wrong? And 140 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: and you know, being broke really really blessed me, and 141 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: it really did something. Being broke really was really a blessing, 142 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: really blessing. It was you know, you have to get 143 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: to a place where and I say it all the time, 144 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: you turn your pity party into this planning party. You know, 145 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: you're praying, you're planning, you're wondering. You know, Yes, there 146 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: were some external things I could not control that that, 147 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: you know, with the market crashing and all those different things. 148 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: But however, I said, there there's something that I didn't know. 149 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: And I'm a true believer that wealth is on the 150 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: other side of what you do not know. And so 151 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: there was information that I was laughing. And so I 152 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: would spend so much of my time my husband and I, 153 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: our dates began coffee at the book store. You know, 154 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: I would be in the bookstore just reading books on business, 155 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: reading books on um e commerce, reading books on social media. 156 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: Because all of these things were changing. Technology was was 157 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: really come into a whole new place, and so I 158 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: took all that information and I began to apply different 159 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: things in my life. And and then as my clientele 160 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: started to shift and grow and I closed the salon 161 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: everything because of reality TV show, because of you know, 162 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: it was popping. People were like yeah, and show travel. 163 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: It started to shift the way I did business, and 164 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: I had to put it in a book to help 165 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: somebody else because those books helped me.

And I 320 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: had to find out about myself and started to find 321 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: who Rashan McDonald is. And that's what you're saying about yourself, 322 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: is that you know, Rashan, who you are is equally 323 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: important as what people know about you.
