And if you don't look them in 127 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: the eye, that's a sign of disrespect, and it makes 128 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: it seem like you're not really listening or you really 129 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: just don't care, don't nervous, so it's one of three. 130 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: Well, I don't want you to over I don't want 131 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: you to casually pass over that because you know what, 132 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: with the world of zoom these days and various other things, 133 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: people are not really grasping that they'll look down at 134 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: something and they may be literally like, right now, I 135 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: have some questions for you. I would tell you if 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: I'm looking at him, I would say, hey, you know what, 137 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to look at these really quick. If you 138 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: didn't know, and this is all about you, all about you, 139 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: you didn't know I was doing that. And let's say, 140 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: looking right now, because the camera eyes right here, you 141 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: could think that I'm ordering lunch on my phone, I'm 142 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: playing Monopoly on my phone right and you would think that, 143 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: and you could be telling me something very very interesting 144 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: or very something extremely passionate about, or asking a really 145 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: important question, and right there alone, you didn't realize that, 146 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: or I didn't realize that I may have offended you. 147 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: And later on in our relationship, let's say you're working 148 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: with working together. I'm wondering why you aren't all warm 149 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: and fuzzy to me. But because of the lack of 150 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: eye contact and the lack of connecting, even though I 151 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 2: wasn't intentionally trying to, you know, ignore you, I offended you. 152 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: Well, that is true, but I'm just saying right now 153 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: you did offend me because I know that you know, 154 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: certain times, especially on Zoom and on FaceTime, we all 155 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: have notes when we're in business meetings, so you know, 156 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: it's important to have notes of write down things that 157 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: we have to bring up on topics. But other keys 158 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: of advice that I would give to people is, you know, research, 159 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: being able to research the people beforehand, and being able 160 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: to grasp information about the person in order to make questions, 161 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: and also being able to work hard. You know, you 162 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: need to work hard if you want to achieve anything. 163 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: Success is not overnight, so it's important to really think 164 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: about that as well. And more so, just put in 165 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: the grind and have fun, because if you're not having 166 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: fun with whatever you're doing, then what's the point of 167 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: doing it? 168 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: Very powerful, very powerful research. Most people don't do it, 169 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 2: and that's why I think that a lot of people. 170 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: These are subtle points that you're making right eye contact, 171 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: the way that you the way that you communicate with somebody, 172 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: Do your research on them and have fun. Now A 173 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: lot of people will just listen to, Oh that that 174 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: was really great, but I want to dig deeper into 175 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: because that's what that's what we talk about at that moment. Right, 176 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: let me give you a moment that that people usually 177 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: screw up on shar Tank. They don't do their research 178 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: on me. They do with general research. Oh, Damon John, right, 179 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: and then they say, Damon John, the clothing guy. I 180 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 2: have a clothing company. I'm going to go on there 181 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: and that's exactly what I'm gonna pitch. Damion is going 182 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: to be my shark. If they did their research, you 183 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: know what they find out. The reason I went on 184 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: Shark Tank is because I had in a wait when 185 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: nobody could pay their rent. They weren't buying anymore or mortgage, 186 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: they weren't buying any more clothes. So I had ten 187 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: clothing companies, eight of them were dead. I was only 188 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: getting pitched clothing companies. And the last thing I want 189 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: is a clothing company. I went on Shark Tank to 190 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: diversify my portfolio. But if they are not like Jazz 191 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: and they don't do research, they would sit there and say, well, 192 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: Damon is the shark that I want to go to, 193 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: when really Honestly, the shark who has been really successful 194 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 2: in clothing has been Robert and has been Barbera because 195 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: they were never in clothing before, so they got into it. 196 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: They weren't as jaded as me, and they got into 197 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: it with a fresh look. Now I have a very 198 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: successful buy with socks, but I didn't buy it because 199 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: of clothing. I bought it because it gave to somebody 200 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: else simultaneously. So I think research is extremely, extremely important. 201 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: But who told you that you should do that or 202 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: why did you come up with that way? Did you 203 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: come up with that idea that you needed to do 204 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: so much research? I mean you're talking though really well 205 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: known people. I mean, listen, if I do I, if 206 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: I interview Jay Z, I don't know how much research 207 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: I'd need to do it them. I think I'm a 208 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: fan of ja Z. I think I know everything. If 209 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: I if I interviewed you know, Joe Biden, how much 210 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: your researcher. But you still did research. Why do you 211 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: think that was important? 212 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: I feel like it's important to do research because, first 213 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: of all, even though you might be the person's number 214 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: one fan, you might be the biggest fan of the world, 215 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: there's other things to look at when it comes to 216 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: the personal lives or anything else that has to do 217 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: with how they got up to the level of success 218 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: that they have now that we may not know. There 219 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: are certain things that people hold daly to themselves, and 220 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: there are certain things that people don't tell other people. 221 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: But if you do research, they might open up to you. 222 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: They might be able to feel so comfortable during the 223 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: interview that they're just like, well, she's asked me this question, 224 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: I might as I might as well just bring up 225 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: this topic as well. 226 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: M it leads you're saying, it leads to other things, 227 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: or it opens up new aspects in their mind. 228 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: Yes, it does. And like you were saying with you, 229 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: even though a shark ting many people, they might not 230 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: do as much research as they need. They just think 231 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: about your clothing companies. I feel like, even though people 232 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: know you for your clothing company Fubu, I feel like 233 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: it's also a portant to research about Fooboo as well, 234 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: because you never know what you can Let's say that 235 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: you're trying to pitch an idea of a clothing company. 236 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: Maybe you can create a bond over what you research 237 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: about Fuobuo. Maybe you guys can have a connection because. 238 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: Very powerful. You know, in some negotiating they call that, 239 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: they call it, and there's some ways to say open 240 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: a new file, right, because if if you and I 241 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: are talking about it, and let's let's I want people 242 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: to learn from this, because this is really really key. 243 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: If you guys, daven hey, how did you? How did 244 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: you start? I'm like a parrot, right, We've all told 245 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: our story a million times. Whoever we are right, because 246 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 2: all you hear those times, Hey, who are you? Where 247 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 2: you coming from? With your family? Right? And we're not 248 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: Damion John's gonna go, oh oh, how I su football 249 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty nine? I stood on the car Dad. 250 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 2: Right now, you're gonna go and ask me a different 251 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 2: angle of it. You may say, why decide on that 252 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 2: corner or why decide on this piece, you know, whatever 253 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: the case is. And you know, people love to talk 254 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: about themselves, and it's refreshing to hear that. I get 255 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: to have a different conversation with you that I just 256 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: didn't have with the rest of the world, and it's fun. Right, 257 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: And then I start to remember you because you opened 258 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: a new file. You made me think of a different 259 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: aspect of something that I've done maybe in a different way, 260 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: and we have a more engaging conversation. So that's what 261 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: we call open a new file. And I think that 262 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: you do an excellent job by it. And let's talk 263 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: about having fun. How do you have fun in an interview? 264 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: Well, having fun in an interview, I feel like having 265 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: fun in the interview is more so being able to 266 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: talk about topics that you find very interesting that has 267 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: something to do with the person or even if you're 268 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: a journalist, you have to love what you do. So 269 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a journalist just to be a journalist. I'm 270 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: not just interviewing because well I'm interviewing. Oh whoa, I'm 271 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: making money? Why not? 272 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: Right? 273 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: No, I'm doing it because it's fun and I get 274 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: to have these super cool experiences going to many different 275 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: events that kids like me are not going to normally. 276 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm in like Rolling Loud. Kids can't even go there. 277 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: It's like sixteen and up enough, and I'm thirteen. So 278 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: it's very cool to be in those spaces and also 279 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: represent where I come from and being able to have 280 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: fun that's very important, and creating a space for the 281 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: interview we need to speak more about themselves. That's also 282 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: very important when it comes to interview. 283 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: But you know people right now, you know people like 284 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: a lot of times, you know you're talking about you're 285 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: having an experience that most young adults that your age 286 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: would not be allowed to. However, you didn't start off 287 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: going to roll in loud. You didn't start for the 288 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: promise that you would even get to this stage in 289 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: such a really a short period of time. How did 290 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: you how did you deal with the or have you 291 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: when you were first starting going I don't know why 292 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: I'm doing this, or were you're having so much fun 293 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: that you didn't care where you were going to go. 294 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: You were in the moment, having a good time in 295 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: the moment. 296 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: Well, it was more so. Well, first of all at 297 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: the beginning. Of course, I had to work very hard 298 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: in order to get to the level I am today, 299 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: but it was more so in the moment, because I 300 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: feel like if you look too much in the past, 301 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: like if you dwell too much on the past, then 302 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: that can affect your future. 303 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: Right. 304 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: But it's important to also, you know, think about, oh 305 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: what am I going to do in the future. I 306 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: wonder how I can do something today that can help 307 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: me tomorrow. It's very important to think about those kinds 308 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: of things, and you know, it's important to think about, oh, 309 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: what negative things did I do in the past. I 310 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: could change that can help my future. But it's also 311 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: important to stay in the moment, because if you're not 312 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: focused on the moment, and you're too focused on the 313 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: past or the future, then you're not able to really 314 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: live in the moment. You understand what I know. 315 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 2: Percent because you're thinking about everything else, and that moment, 316 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: which this is what the whole podcast about, is right 317 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: there in your face and you have to fully take 318 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 2: advantage of because I always say there's no such thing 319 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: as a perfect time and so on the perfect use 320 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: of time. What was the exactly what was the first 321 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: interview that you did? Was it? Was it a notable person? 322 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: Was it not? Like? When was it? You know, how 323 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: did that first come about? 324 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Well, my first ever interview was with Greg Popovich. He's 325 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: the coach for the San Antonio Spurs. 326 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: And that's a pretty that's a pretty big first interview exactly. 327 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: But I got to be honest with my whole journey. 328 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: I have to say it wasn't easy at first. You know, 329 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: I like to speak about what I'm doing now, but 330 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: also like to speak about the start of my journey 331 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: and the start of my career because in the start, 332 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't getting calls for people to go to different events. 333 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't getting calls to do different things for different 334 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: kinds of companies and doing ads and all that. No, 335 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was more so my dad. He took 336 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: me to meeting greets and sometimes sometimes we had to 337 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: wait for interviews in the freezing cold. I live in 338 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: New York. It's cold. It gets when it's Twitter time, 339 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: it gets cold. And when I say it gets cold, 340 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: it gets cold. So in the beginning it was It 341 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: wasn't the easiest, but I have to say I had 342 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. So that is what triggered me 343 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: to work hard as well. And my dad he also 344 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: helped me out too, because whenever I felt discouraged about 345 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: not getting an interview or not being able to have 346 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: to thake my way, it was told me, going to 347 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: get discouraged, and we're going to get the interview somehow somewhere, 348 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: going to get the interview. So that always stuck with 349 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: me and helped me out. 350 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: What would you know, so many, so many young adults 351 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: and people in general want to be really great content creators, 352 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 2: and then you know, maybe they're not even thinking about 353 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: it from creating content for from the aspect of money. Right, 354 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: They want to they want to be really they want 355 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: to be somebody who they they know, they have a voice, 356 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 2: they know they have a very specific desire or need 357 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: or love. It could be food, it could be working out, 358 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: it could be dances, it could be reaction videos, the music. 359 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 2: What would you say are some of the key things 360 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: that they should do, you know to what what should 361 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 2: they do in regards to following that passion? Is there 362 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: a discipline? Because listen, you said it's cold, you stood outside, 363 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: you didn't necessarily get the interview, you stiff for a 364 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: long period of time. Did you and Dad have in 365 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: your mind in your mind, no matter what, we're going 366 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: to go to one or two meeting, greets a week 367 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: or a month, no matter what, we're going to put 368 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: in five hours, no matter what, we're going to do 369 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: this or do you just play it by ear and say, hey, 370 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: if we get to this level, we'll get to this level, 371 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: we'll do this and that. What would you suggest somebody 372 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: else does if they say I don't really know where 373 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 2: what I want to do if it's going to be anything, 374 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: but this is what I should at least start to 375 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 2: do to see if I like it well. 376 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: Discipline is where is what got me to where I 377 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: am today and being able to as I said, work 378 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: hard and consistency as well. Being consistent and whatever you 379 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: do in life is what's going to get you to 380 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: your goal and to achieve your goal. Because if you're consistent, 381 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: then you're going to keep on doing and doing and doing, 382 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: and you're going to keep on trying to achieve your 383 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: goals no matter what, and no matter what's going to 384 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: get in your ways, no matter what obstacles or anything 385 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: that gets in your way, you're going to be able 386 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: to go over it and kick the door down. 387 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: A lot of people don't have confidence that they can 388 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: accomplish this, and you, being somebody who is now media 389 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: personality and you're known for getting great information out, a 390 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: lot of people would have said, I don't have a 391 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: I don't have a degree in journalism. I didn't work 392 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: at a TV station or a radio station. I haven't 393 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: formalized and done this before. So what do you say 394 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: to people who who are And often, you know what, 395 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: maybe it's not even those people are doing it, maybe 396 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: it's their friends around them. You can't do that, you 397 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: don't have this. What do you say to people who 398 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: feel they feel that they can do it, but they 399 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 2: just have a lack of confidence, And how do you 400 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: overcome that those hurdles that most people have, those mental 401 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 2: hurdles by saying, no, I'm gonna do this. I don't 402 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: I don't need it all. I don't need all that. 403 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna come at it naturally. 404 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: Well, first off, to really think about what you said. 405 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: If someone feels like they need to have a degree 406 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: to do it, I mean I'm I feel I don't 407 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: have a degree either at thirteen, and I'm living proof 408 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: of self assessment as well, being able to self assess 409 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: and really think about where you could where you could 410 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: work better on, you know, where you could get better 411 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: at and also being able to say, well, I'm very 412 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: good at doing this, so I could possibly fix doing 413 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: this while also putting these together. So being able to 414 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: self assess and more so I feel like confidence and 415 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: like the confidence that I got in me is more 416 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: so natural, but also being able to say to yourself, 417 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: well this didn't go the way that I wanted to do. 418 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: So maybe next time, with my next interview or whatever 419 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: you're doing next time, I could fix what I didn't 420 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: do well on. 421 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 2: I'm sure. So so I want I want to know 422 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: which one probably and this I want to I want 423 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: to I want to know where you get the most 424 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: attention from which which one was the interview or maybe 425 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: something got the most intention from it. But before I 426 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 2: get to that, I want to talk about one that 427 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: could have been. You know, where you got the most 428 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: attention or or virality from jay Z. So let's talk 429 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 2: about that. That Ja interview. How did that happen? How 430 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: did it come to play? Well? 431 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: My dad, well, me and my dad we both heard 432 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: that jay Z was in town. So my dad said, well, 433 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: why not try to get an interview from him? Because 434 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: when he's in town, and we felt like we had 435 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: a chance. So we decided to go to a place 436 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: that jay Z was and we created questions. We did 437 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: a lot of research and we created questions and then 438 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: we went and we waited for a while. We waited 439 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: for about two days. And two days yeah not today straight, 440 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: but we obviously went home and then we came back 441 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: the next morning before school. But a lot of people 442 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: they think that got the interview the first day, which 443 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: really didn't happen. The first day, I went up to 444 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: mister jay Z and he saw me. He gave me 445 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: a fist, pup and everything, but I don't think that 446 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: he heard me when I asked them, Hey, mister jay Z, 447 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: can I please have an interview with you? Can I 448 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: please ask you a couple of questions? I don't think 449 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: he heard me. So I was kind of discouraged after that. 450 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: But my dad he helped me out and he cleared 451 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: my head. He was just like, yeah, tomorrow, before you 452 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: go to school, we're going to go try. I'm going 453 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: to see if we could get the interview. So the 454 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: next morning we got the interview. I mean, I loved 455 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: speaking about that story because it was it's so important 456 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: to be and hopefully one day I could get I 457 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: could speak to mister jay Z. 458 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 2: Again and what in that interview did and that is 459 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 2: impressive because you know, listen, most people, especially you know, 460 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 2: I think that the beautiful thing about being a young 461 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: adult is that you know, you kind of you know, 462 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: everything is somewhat awkward or it could be scary, and 463 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 2: thank god, you have really loving parents and your dad 464 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: is there to help you. But did you know that 465 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: at that moment that he didn't hear you? Because I 466 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: can see that if you had the guts to come 467 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 2: back day too. And then you talk to him and 468 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 2: he goes, what, oh sure, sure, sure? You probably then 469 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: could have surmised, well, maybe he didn't hear me the 470 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: first time, but the first time one you're in real 471 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: time and he goes and he said, and he keeps walking. 472 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 2: I mean half the people out he'll be like, man, 473 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: that's just a rude person, or they didn't want to 474 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 2: do it, or they just brushed me off and they 475 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,239 Speaker 2: would not want to come back the next day. So 476 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 2: what why did you? Why did you allow your dad 477 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 2: to convince you to go back the next day after 478 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 2: you may have been thought that you were shunned, because 479 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 2: you know, if he did that on Monday, then he's 480 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: gonna ignore you on Tuesday. 481 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: Well, my dad, he encouraged me to never give up 482 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: even those kind of cliches of say that is something 483 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: that I feel a lot of people could learn from 484 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: because let's say that you don't get something that day, 485 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: Like for me, I didn't get the jay Z interview 486 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: the first day that I went there, because there's a 487 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: lot of people, and I'm getting mister Jayz was kind 488 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: of overwhelmed and he wanted to Were. 489 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: There a lot of when you walked up to fish One? 490 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: Were there a lot of people around him? 491 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of people around. 492 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: What's a lot? 493 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: A lot meaning I'm not really sure, like maybe that's 494 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: a big crowd.

Fifty 498 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: A lot of people right in the middle sidewalk. 499 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 2: Too, and it's you outside, yep, outside, So and these 500 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: fifty were with him or these fifty were just random people. 501 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: They just saw jay Z. 502 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: These were random people and they knew jay Z was 503 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: in town, so they waited at the same area. 504 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: Oh okay, good, good, good good. All right. So now 505 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: now you get this interview, you're in the interview with him. 506 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 2: What what do you take away from there that you 507 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 2: think is something key that you really really remember that 508 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: you took away from that interview. 509 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: One thing that is key that I really remember was 510 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: when I was speaking to him and I was asking him, 511 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: what advice can you give to kids that look up 512 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: to you. It was a similar question to that, and 513 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: he told me they have to have ultimate confidence just 514 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: like you. And first of all, I love that confliment 515 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: because well, my heart's sake when he told me that. 516 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: And second of all, I kept that in my head 517 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: because ultimate confidence is something that I really live for. 518 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: I love being able to show my personality, being able 519 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: to tell people, hey, even though sometimes we get discouraged, 520 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: it's important to be confident. And you know, jay Z, 521 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: he's so inspiring to me because well, we're from the 522 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: similar neighborhoods. We're both from Brooklyn, New York, and we're 523 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: both from communities are similar, and I just love the 524 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,239 Speaker 1: way he reps Brooklyn to the fullest. And I love 525 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: doing the same thing because I love showing where I'm 526 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: from and where I live. So it was definitely an 527 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: inspiration to all kinds of kids and all kids around 528 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: the world. 529 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: And I know that that video went crazy. Is that 530 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 2: the one that you got the biggest response from because 531 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: a lot of times it could be you know, great, listen, 532 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 2: jay Z. I'm a big fan of what he's done 533 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: and his wife, his music, as well as business wise 534 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: and how it represents New York. But you know, I've 535 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: seen that the virality may come from the person that 536 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: many people may not know as well, but they've said 537 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 2: something so poignant or or or the timing was right. 538 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: So was that the biggest one that you've gotten? And 539 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: if so, then what was number two? Meaning you know, 540 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: from a virality standpoint, Well, I have. 541 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: To say it was one of the biggest.

You know, in school when you're 635 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 2: when you come over to school, there's a lot of 636 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 2: peer pressure, and the peer pressure is to be accepted. One. 637 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 2: You also have the pressure of school academics. It's hard, 638 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 2: a lot of information out there, and of course you 639 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 2: know you should never try to get around that. But 640 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: in regards to the pressure of this life of going 641 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 2: out and working really hard, right, but being noticed and 642 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 2: and and and and recognized, do you feel that there's 643 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 2: a different type of pressure, because sometimes you also can 644 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: be intimidating in school if you are more known, right, 645 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: And sometimes maybe you use that to your advantage and 646 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 2: try to change things. Because I've seen people who are 647 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 2: really well known in school. You know what they do. 648 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 2: They see kids who may not be accepted as well 649 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 2: or treated as well as say that person is a 650 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 2: star too, let's hang out with that person. So they 651 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: use the good will of what they have and then 652 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 2: others we've seen it before. Are cocky about their level 653 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 2: of the success whatever that is right to the prettiest 654 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 2: girl or the or the smartest girl or the athlete, 655 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 2: and a lot of times they use that. So how 656 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 2: do you utilize that theme for or that acknowledgement within 657 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: your your age group. 658 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, to answer the first question that 659 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: you asked me, No, I actually am not very cocky 660 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: about a fame. And I love being for Brooklyn because 661 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: everyone cares, but they don't care. So when I say that, 662 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean that everyone's just like, oh, what's going on, Jazzy. 663 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: I watched all your videos and all that, you know, 664 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: give you a high five, ask for a picture, and 665 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: then that's it. That's the end. So it's not like 666 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: they're bothering me, like stalking me or anything, or like 667 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: they keep on asking for a picture or anything like that. 668 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: But I totally love everyone in my school. I feel 669 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: like in my school there's not necessarily bullies like that 670 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: that would try to bring anyone else down. So not 671 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: I haven't had an experience like that before. But I 672 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: love being supportive as well and helping out others that 673 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: need help, and more so in school, I'm just a 674 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: normal kid. I mean, everyone knows me in school. I'm 675 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: very popular, but no one treats me any differently than 676 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: the other connects me. 677 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 2: So and what is? 678 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: What? 679 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 2: What will? 680 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: What? 681 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: Do you aspire to be? Now? And this may change right? 682 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 2: But who do you if you had to close your 683 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 2: eyes and look at yourself at twenty one years old? 684 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: Who is that jazzy? Now? 685 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: Well? I gotta be honest. I can't tell the future. 686 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: I can't see into the future anything. But one of 687 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: my goals to accomplish, and I really want to accomplish 688 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: this as soon as I can, is to have my 689 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: own show. I want to have an Oprah kind of 690 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: style show, but you know, a jazzy twist on it. 691 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: So I would love to have a show like that. 692 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 2: So you want do you think that you know if 693 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 2: everything you're doing something you love? Do you think that, uh, 694 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 2: if your career could go where you wanted to go, 695 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 2: that it would still be always being able to really 696 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 2: sit down with amazing and fascinating people, bringing a new 697 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 2: twist and bringing information out there. Or simultaneously, are you 698 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 2: studying something else or want to do something else? I 699 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 2: don't know, to be walking on the moon or mars 700 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 2: a word we're going today, it could be solving or hunger. 701 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 2: What are the other things that you want to do? 702 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: Well? My main focus is most definitely my reporting career 703 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: because I love reporting with I love journalism first of 704 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,280 Speaker 1: all because I'm very talkative and I love talking to people, 705 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: and i love learning information about people that I've never 706 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: met before. So I'm definitely focusing on that in the future. 707 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 1: But also I have many hobbies, like skateboarding and playing 708 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: bass wood. 709 00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 2: Like what snowboarding? Oh, skateboarding? I think you said snowboarding, 710 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 2: because I was about to say, I will crush you on. 711 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: The on the slopes. 712 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 2: All you'd have is a whole bunch of snowballs in 713 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 2: your face because you'd be eating my snow. Just making 714 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: you like to have. 715 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: A competition in the winter because. 716 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: We can obviously sounds like a double dare all. 717 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: Right, there we go. You got a picky propose that. 718 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 2: Well, you thought it was cold in New York. It's 719 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 2: really cold when you're a loser on the slopes. 720 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: After me, Wow, well we gotta see, we gotta see 721 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: in the future. Well, to add on to what we 722 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: were saying, you know, I just want to be me 723 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: and I want to inspire my generation of kids, and 724 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: I also want to inspire the future generation as well. 725 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 2: So well, you know, I think that we've come across 726 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 2: so many amazing things that you know. The reason why I, 727 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 2: you know, I I love doing this is because when 728 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 2: I say, it's that moment, it's you know, just like 729 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 2: you you know, when we have interviews with people, we 730 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 2: brush over these things and they kind of give us 731 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 2: the ready to wear answer. Right, let me take this answer. 732 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 2: I already have it, right, but I wanted to know 733 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 2: these things because there's way more to what you've accomplished 734 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: when people realize and I think that you've hit really 735 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 2: very many many points. But the first one of the course, right, 736 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 2: you know, do your research on people. Then it's also 737 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: you know, having fun, you know during that, it's being 738 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 2: very disciplined in what you're going to do with it. 739 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 2: I love what you're thinking about in the future, right, 740 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 2: how you're going to build something much bigger. But you 741 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 2: still know that you have these obligations to your family 742 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 2: and to your friends and to school and stuff like that, 743 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 2: and so many of us can learn from you. So 744 00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 2: congratulations on everything I've already learned as well. You know 745 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 2: that sometimes when I do interviews that I'm doing the 746 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 2: right thing. You know, a lot of people don't realize 747 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 2: that there's a very symbiotic relationship that you can learn from. 748 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 2: Anybody doesn't have to be somebody up here like you know, 749 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: I consider you somebody who's communicating in a new world, 750 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 2: and you are finding really great ways to communicate with people, 751 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 2: and whether they're going to interview Jay Z or Biden 752 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 2: or anybody like that. I think all the key things 753 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 2: that you said right here, so many people can learn from. 754 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 2: And I really appreciate the fact that your parents have 755 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: been able to harness this talent and this curiosity of 756 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 2: you to bring into all of us. 757 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that.

And 763 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: it's not even a specific question, it was all the questions. 764 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,720 Speaker 1: So I definitely learned how and what I can improve 765 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: on when it comes to holding conversations as well. 766 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 2: So thank you, well, you are truly a gift.
