I mean when I know you 125 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: saw the documentary, but it was a part in there 126 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: where they came and they put me and my mom 127 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: out of her house. Absolutely absolutely that was that was fraud, 128 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: mortgage fraud. I was also dealing with with homelessness, sir. 129 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: You know, I mean pretty much what most of the 130 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Black America is going through right now. You know, uh, 131 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: Black America is having a really really hard time, uh 132 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: quoting with everything that's going on now. But I bring 133 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: this up to say that you know, um, you know 134 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: you you we talked about you know, Narcos is a 135 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: very popularity series on Netflix. And look at your lifestyle 136 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: and none of it ever ends positive, by the way, 137 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: And that's that's something we all need to get clear 138 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: about that. What happens to the money? You know, because 139 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: you you talk about making almost a million dollars a day. 140 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: The government says you generated over six million dollars of 141 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: UH with your drug drug sales. What happens to the money? 142 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: Where did he go, what what you know? You know what, 143 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: mom always says, a fool and his money was going 144 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: to part and uh and she was telling the true literally, 145 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: you know how tou it was. And I got to 146 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: experience that even though I had learned how to make 147 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: money selling drugs, I didn't learn how to keep the 148 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: money and and and and that's something that that we 149 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: all have to deal with as as a race and 150 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: as a society. You know, how do we keep the 151 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: money that we make? Life sentence? Yeah, your mom fell 152 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: out in court. The other boy he just got seven 153 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: and a half years, and you're walking around after getting 154 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: a life sentence. This is important because I always tell 155 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: people education is the key. It's the separating line between 156 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: what you're doing do something in life, or you're not 157 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: gonna do something life. You educated yourself in jail and 158 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: that was the turning point your life, which also led 159 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: to you getting out of jail. Correct. Correct, And it 160 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: needs to what I'm doing right now, you know with 161 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: what Without me learning how to read and educating myself, 162 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: I never would have found an issue that eventually got 163 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: me out of prison. And I never would have educated 164 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: myself to to where I am now. I don't have 165 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: a college degree nor a high school of puma. But 166 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: I read it was three hundred books. So what what 167 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: what I say is that I have the skills to 168 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: do the job, but without the degree. But you have 169 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: people listening to you. That's more important, and that's important. 170 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: That's why, that's why I have you on my show 171 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation. You know, college campuses will hear this 172 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: because I know what I'm doing, so you can you 173 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: can have a degree and not know what you do. 174 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people they go to school 175 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: and they go to school like I went to school. 176 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: They just go to class and participate in class, but 177 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: they don't learn the lessons. And what I found out 178 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: now is that we have to learn the lessons and 179 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: that the lessons is the most invaluable, the most valuable thing. 180 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: It is not to degree. Degree is not really valuable 181 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: if you don't know what you're doing, because there's only 182 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: a matter of time before before people figure you out 183 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: and find out that that you're not who you say, 184 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: right right right. I always tell people your resume that 185 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: there's a truth resume and there's a hype resume. The 186 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: hype reson me, they're actually gonna find out the truth 187 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: about that hype resume the truth resume it will stand 188 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: this ground. Now, you want to talk about how to 189 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: build wealth financial wealth? That was a question that was 190 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: submitted as part of the things I should ask you. 191 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. How do you build financial wealth? Well, 192 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: you know, one of the most important things is that 193 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: you have to learn what it is that you're doing. 194 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: The first thing you have to constantly look to improve 195 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: your ability to to make money. That means every every 196 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: single day, you have to improve yourself become better. It's 197 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: like an athlete. If if you're athletes and you don't 198 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: make the lead, and the first thing I would do 199 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: is go and start doing push ups. I would start 200 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: running more, I would start exercising boards. Well, in business, 201 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: if you don't make the cut, then you have to 202 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: study harder. You have to learn more marketing skills. You 203 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: have to find out what your competition is doing. Basically 204 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: the same skill that I choose the sales drugs. I'm 205 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: now using to to to to do my entrepreneur stuff. 206 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: And I don't want to tell you about some of 207 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: the dreams I've been having it if I did, people 208 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: would think I'm crazy. No, no, no, no, no no. 209 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: That's why you're on this show because you're not crazy, 210 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: because because I'm telling you it's true, because I tell 211 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: people all the time, is that is that I come 212 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: from filth forard, I come from that. That that life 213 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: I just you know, had the fortunate ability. The teachers 214 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: kept me straight, you know, they told me go to class, 215 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: and so I went to I went to class, and 216 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: I went to college. And people in college you're telling 217 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: me I'm special and telling I got a math degree, 218 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: and then I got then I gotta started working for IBM. 219 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: So I know there's always that farking the road, and 220 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: I always know that decisions are made and guided by 221 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: people who are pushing you, either negatively or positively. Okay, 222 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: And and in my case, positivity warm out over negativity 223 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: because in the end, people underhear me very clear. To 224 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: be successful in a positive length is always harder. It's 225 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: always harder, but in the end the success ratio will 226 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: be a lot higher. If you try to go easy, 227 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: then guess what, it's fast. They're gonna come get you. 228 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna come get you, and the consequences can determine 229 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: your life. It ain't really easy they think it's easy. 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: But if you want to be, if you want to 231 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: be where I was, it's a tough it's a tough 232 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: way to go.

I'm a fan of 359 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: the of the game. Never played football when I watch it, 360 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: uh I look, I always say football is a man 361 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: sport to me. You know. I had Eddie George on 362 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: the on the on my show talking about his accomplishment 363 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: what he's doing at Ohio State teaching up there.

I I feel right when I say the 369 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: word violent because it's a contact board. You somebody see 370 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: you on the other side of the field. You go, 371 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna run as hard as I can right at you, 372 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: and the other persons gonna say, I'm gonna un as 373 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: hard as I can't right back at you, and we're 374 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: gonna see who's gonna move. That's a sport that that 375 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: that when you look at it, it's there's a lot 376 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: of controversy. When I say controversy concussions. How do you 377 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: look at that? And you're both of your parents, how 378 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: do you look at that when you say, should I 379 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: don't have about child play football? Or should I not 380 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: have my child play football? Well, let's start with the 381 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: mom um, um, So we uh, our household is definitely 382 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: a football household, um, And there have been a lot 383 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: of positive results as a result of what the game 384 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: of football has contributed to our life. Um in that 385 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: the relationship that we've encountered in this journey since have 386 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: been tremendous, and those relationships have transcendent, transcended from trying 387 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: myself and spilled over to our children. And so from 388 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: that perspective, it's been phenomenal. It is a game that 389 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: we understand where injury is not a possibility. It will happen. 390 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of you being responsible for yourself 391 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: and making sure you're doing the things necessary to take 392 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: care of your body and being a good steward over 393 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: your vessel. And so with our boys who both play football. Uh, 394 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: two of our three sons play football, you know, we 395 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: educate them on the game and educate them on how 396 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: to take care of their bodies and being the voice 397 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: of reason for their body and not allowing someone else 398 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: to dictate to them when it's good for them to 399 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: play and when it's not good for them to play. 400 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: So you develop leadership in self advocation, which is a 401 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: necessary life skill, um, beyond the game of football. What 402 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: a what a wonderful ambassador? Did you hear that? Within 403 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: what you need to stop? I know who she is, Okay, 404 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: That's why I got you all on this show together, 405 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: because see, I don't want one side of the story, 406 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: because she had the story to tell that's equally as 407 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: important as your story. But because you're with the nf ail, 408 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: you know, everybody want to hear the nfol story on here. 409 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: What Try got to say. I want to hear what 410 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: Tommy got to say. And Tommy and Try did the 411 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: right thing, honey, because she isn't ambassador for truth because 412 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: you know the thing about it that makes me mad 413 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: about everybody act like life is gonna give you a 414 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: hand of perfection. I can walk across street right now 415 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: to be the last interview I ever do in my life. 416 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I bungee jumped, I got 417 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: on the plane probably three or four times a week. 418 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: That don't mean I'm onna land. There are there are 419 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: options of success and failure in our life. On the 420 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: regular basis. We all say yes and no. We all 421 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: could train control that path. But some people can get 422 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: dig down and try to make it like something that's 423 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: so bad. So when I heard her part, you said, 424 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: isn't she a creating bad? Now let me hear the 425 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: Mr NFL talk. Mr fifteen year veteran, you know when 426 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: you know when when you know O t A. You 427 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: know that hot summer, you know when you got knocked 428 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: up side in the head. Why you got your boys play, sir? 429 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: I love everything about the game. As Tommy had had reference, 430 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: the game has been good to us and gave us 431 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: a gift, gave some of us a gift to play 432 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: with speed, size, agility, ability and putting that to usage. 433 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: We understand We have a full understanding. My boys, my wife, 434 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: all of our kids have a full understanding of the 435 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: risk are associated with contact sports. And football is no 436 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: differently than any other sport. Uh, there's risk associated with it. 437 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: But we love the game. We promote the game, two 438 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: boys playing ball. We love Friday nights, we love Saturdays, 439 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: and obviously we love Sundays. Um. So that's what I 440 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: would say as parents, as a as an ambassador of 441 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: the game today, as someone leading the charge inside of 442 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: our office along with some of my colleagues, this is 443 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: what the game's about. It's about promoting the goodness of 444 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: the game allows a lot of men to go on 445 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: into paper college education, to make to make a difference 446 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: in their community, to impact their community. Um. And this 447 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: is what we've done again. Football has allow Vincent Country too. 448 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: Is giving us to life to impact, to impact the countries, 449 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: communities around the world. Let measure it this. So why 450 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that facetiously? Why is that important? Why 451 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: is it important that that you you too are giving back. 452 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: You know, you've got five kids, you know you're busy 453 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: already now, okay, and you're out there affecting other people's children, 454 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: other people, adults lives. Why is that important? I'm a time. 455 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: If you don't mind, let me, I'll answer this first. 456 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: It's simple for me. When we all get when we 457 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: all get called home, when sunset sets, will come to 458 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: be part of all of our lives. We're all gonna 459 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: get asked this question, what did you do for the 460 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: least of them? And that is something that much has given, 461 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: much is required, but we're all gonna get called that, 462 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: We're all gonna be asked that question that the kingdom, 463 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: what did you do for the least of thel? So 464 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: that's why it's important. Has become out of our not 465 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: just our lifestyles. Is what's part of what we do 466 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: and while we do it. And to to add to that, 467 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: to add to that, I would say that we have 468 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: made a very deliberate choice to make deliberate decisions, to 469 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: get deliberate results, and so invent a country. What we 470 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: decided to do is to expose our children to giving back. 471 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: And giving back translates to what is important to you 472 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: and what type of difference you want to make in 473 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: someone's life. And so we have all of our children 474 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: in some aspect they give back and what that allows 475 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: them to do is to really begin to tap into 476 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: who they are as individuals and identify what is an 477 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: aspect of their purpose. And so in the giving back, 478 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: we're also contributing to ourselves and developing and becoming good 479 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: stores of life and being assets to society versus becoming liability. Wow. 480 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: So the foundation core is faith, family and food. Why 481 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: are those three? Tommy? So our faith, Um, it drives 482 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: us to do everything we do. And one of the 483 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: things that we have come to know and in the 484 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: many years that we have been together in developing Vincent Country, 485 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: is that without our faith, we are liable to walk 486 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 1: away and give up and fall short of um, something 487 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: wonderful and something a powerful that can make a difference. 488 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: And so we allow our faith to drive us so 489 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: that we do not quit, we don't give up, we 490 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: don't give in. And then the family aspect of it, 491 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: we realize that in order for us to go far, 492 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: we have to go together. Some very powerful couple are 493 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: have on the phone, Tommy and Troy Vincent, Um, what 494 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: you guys are doing and with Vincent Company Country giving 495 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: back despite your success? And I jokingly say that that, uh, 496 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: with all seriousness, that the ultimate goal is that that's 497 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: my dream.

You know, it's it's nothing 602 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: better than going into a restaurant, a bar lounge and 603 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: when you see, you know, thirty percent of that back 604 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: bar are brands that you represent.

Let's just ask something about that responsibility. Note 608 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: like when you go to the website and then you 609 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: click brands, you have to enter information to show that 610 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: you're above the eighteen. So I'm just letting you know 611 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: that he carries that. Yeah, producing amen. In fact, you 612 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: can vote at eight you got to drink one. But 613 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: that was also let you know I don't drink. But 614 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that that this interview is not about 615 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: my habits, about habits of people enjoy these spirits. But 616 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: I want to drive on the fact that you guys 617 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: carry that mantle or being responsible to the highest level, 618 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: even in the digital and social media community. So when 619 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: that would that being said, liquor and spirits are consumed, Oh, 620 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: there'll sees no periods where you guys know, you how 621 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: to have got to have those warehouses packed because the 622 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: call is going to come from the product. Absolutely, I mean, 623 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, to your point, uh certainly you have to 624 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: be twenty one. You enter in that age day, you 625 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: enter in your age and and then you and then 626 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: you opened You're opened up to a world of celebration, 627 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, and really a diago.

M But 633 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: but but then summertime comes around and there's you know, 634 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: the drinking occasions have changed, you know, from from nightlife 635 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: to daytime parties now and um, you know, outdoor summer 636 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: summer events.

You know, I was busted 664 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: across town to a private school because I got kicked 665 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: out of the public school was on the first day 666 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: for fighting. UH. And my parents put me in military school. Um. 667 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: You know. And and from that point on, um, you know, 668 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: and I think my grandmother every day for kind of 669 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: saving my life, because you know it, although it took 670 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: me an hour and a half to get to school 671 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: every day, UM, I didn't run into that negativity in 672 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: my neighborhood. You know, I had to leave before everybody 673 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: got up, and by the time I got home, they 674 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: were doing something else. So UM, you know, I took 675 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: a different paths. And you know, and again I'm very 676 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,479 Speaker 1: blessed and fortunate that I had people in my life 677 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: to to kind of scare me in that direction. From there, 678 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: I went on to UH to Temple University UH in Philadelphia, UH, 679 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: and I studied marketing. UM. I didn't really know what 680 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: that was going to turn out to be, you know, 681 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: and and and you know, and I think, as you know, 682 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: young people that are listening, UM, you know, you you 683 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: really don't know where life is gonna take you. But 684 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, you do things that you're interested in. And 685 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: at that point I started to throw events in college, 686 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: throw parties for my fraternity and some other things, and 687 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: which which I had to start to understand about marketing. 688 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: You know what what that meant, you know, to promote 689 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: not only your a in your party, but yourself as 690 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: a promoter.

Is is that I moved to 733 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 1: New York and my territory with the Upper east Side, 734 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: I had the Bronx. I had a Harlem and I 735 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: had the Upper east Side. And and when I tell you, 736 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: I went my doctors in the Bronx they loved me. 737 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: My doctors in Harlem they loved me. The white doctors 738 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: on the Upper east Side they didn't love me. And 739 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: when I tell you, they made it so difficult for me. 740 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: I mean, the racism is is real today, but it 741 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 1: was certainly real for for a young black man who 742 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: was twenty four years old claiming to be the expert 743 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: on colosis, trying to tell fifty sixty year old white 744 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: doctors about you know, this drug and its disease. They 745 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: weren't hearing it, you know, and they made it art 746 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: for me. You know, so I quickly realized with them 747 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: about nine months that I probably wasn't the right job 748 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: for me. I wanted to I want to drip back 749 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: a little bit about just just just knowing you as 750 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: a person and just the personal experiences we had.

Yeah, thank you, thank you so much. Doctor Listen. 802 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: Don't get your heart of the matter. I travel a lot, 803 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: and I want you a beautiful office on Park Avenue. 804 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: And first of all, you're a friend of mine, Okay, 805 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: And I just say that because of the fact that 806 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: you're just a successful friend. But there's a lot of 807 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: people walking around that they really need to stop and 808 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,240 Speaker 1: look at their feet, and a lot of people stopping 809 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,479 Speaker 1: not enjoying life or not enjoying the lifestyle that good 810 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: feet or good surgical applications can bring to their feet, 811 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: that will open up their spirits because a lot of 812 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: people are just are walking a certain where where a 813 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,280 Speaker 1: certain type of shoes because they don't think this problem 814 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: can be fixed, and you're saying, rashand it can be fixed. 815 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 1: It can be fixed. I think that's the one misnellmer 816 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: about the whole thing. Especially when we talk about the 817 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 1: foreign or the hammer toes. People think that it's skin deep. 818 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: Your hamle towel is not a skin deep problem. It's 819 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: a bone problem, and it can be fixed, and it 820 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: can be fixed prominently. If you're coming in thinking that 821 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: we're just gonna take the skin off, and if anybody 822 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: actually offers just to take the skin off, it is 823 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: the absolute wrong thing to do. Not only is it 824 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: gonna come back, it's gonna be uglier. Uh, it's gonna 825 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: be uglier when it does come back.

What is the value 943 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:52,399 Speaker 1: of doing another reality series for the business? This one 944 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,440 Speaker 1: is all about family and um m my My husband 945 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 1: often says, we only see broken families on television. True, 946 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: we don't usually get a chance to see a healthy, 947 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,439 Speaker 1: strong husband. We see husbands immaculated. We say, see women 948 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,839 Speaker 1: who are the board, you know, but we don't see 949 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 1: God's design your family, which is the husband is the 950 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: head and and everybody else is enjoying life and happy 951 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: about it.
