1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: the team today?

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: It was a new game day scratches from the California

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Lottery players everything.

5
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 3: Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

6
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: Are you saying it was the off field play that

7
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: made the difference on the field.

8
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made

9
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 3: the game.

10
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: That's all for now, Coach, one more question play than

11
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: New Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine ers and

12
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles ram scratchers from the California Lottery.

13
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 4: A little play can make your day.

14
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Peace made responsibily. Must be eighteen years or older to

15
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: purchase late or claim in.

16
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 5: The Netflix series that you had when you went like

17
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 5: I think it was seven days. Like you just try

18
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 5: to just only spend with black businesses, and he's like

19
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 5: even if you, it's like everything has to be.

20
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: You got to learn to cooperate. You know, Wars won

21
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: without allies. I'm sorry that off points, but the point

22
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: that I'm trying to make is that the federal government,

23
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: at one point, instead of making the big banks to

24
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: fair business in terms of redline and stuff with black people,

25
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: said no, we'll just support the black banks, and they

26
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: never came through on their promise. Right, and they still

27
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: want to come vote, but they never came through on

28
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: their prom We should be forced to have the federal

29
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: government to do that, and at the same time we

30
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: should be cooperating with larger bankings institutions, many of which

31
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: whose banks were built directly off the backs and its

32
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: slaved after. Right, when you look at stocks and buns,

33
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: a lot of that is you wasn't starting the bun.

34
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: You weren't the problem, That's what you were. So my

35
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: thing is.

36
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 3: Again, I learned selling drugs me and.

37
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: You could be at war a year ago and year

38
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: a lady, and the prices is right, and shit, I

39
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: don't want to kill you no more.

40
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 6: I got a hundred bands, you got a hundred maths.

41
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 6: We got a two hundred and fift do dollars deal.

42
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 6: My comtey got twenty by your Bundy got twenty five.

43
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 6: So at a certain point, it's not that the pain

44
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 6: isn't there, it's not that the tragedy isn't there. At

45
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 6: what point do we have to start understanding that to

46
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 6: win a war? I must Ally, the United States and

47
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 6: Russia have never liked each other, just two radically different

48
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 6: concepts on how to treat people and how to different money.

49
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: But when Joermany popped up and was Omar and everybody.

50
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Motherfucker's found a way to get a low shut up

51
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: to a lot of soldier.

52
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: So we we have to we have to think with

53
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: the same mentality that I don't have to like to

54
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: love you, but in matters of strengthening me as an

55
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: individual in my understanding what I can do in my group,

56
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: in our community, our partner, or ally with you.

57
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: In a matter of big world. And that's just that's

58
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: just what it is.

59
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 5: So let me let me let me ask you a

60
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 5: question because I know not only are your entrepreneur, but

61
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: you're really in the politics.

62
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to be. That was the second.

63
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 7: That was the saying because what you just said is

64
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 7: what you said about the president.

65
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: Now, like I don't have to like him or even

66
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: vote for him, but if he does something that helps

67
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: my community, I should take advantage of that.

68
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: Because I'm taking advantage. I'm taking advantage of everything I'm telling.

69
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: But that's every president. Yeah, it ain't just president. Now

70
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: that there has been no president that has been for

71
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: the black community. That yeah, that's the fact. That's that

72
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: has been no president that has been for the black community.

73
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: But if your policy affects the black community in a

74
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: positive way, which can affect the greater community, I have

75
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: to pay you some attention. It's that sif I have

76
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: to pay you some Obamas for it. No, not really,

77
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 2: I'm clearing what I say or how I said. There

78
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 2: has been no president that's for the black community. But

79
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: if that president playing in any way or policy helps

80
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: the black community, I'm for that thing. You get what

81
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying. I rate all us presidents at about a

82
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: ce different variations from a C minus down into the

83
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: d's too. You know, when you start off with slave

84
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: masters and presidents, that's a really funky comment. So you

85
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: have to spend your life as a person of color

86
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: reconciling the fact that the dollars that in your pocket

87
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: will bent me and the slave masters that are only

88
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: that that that give you work and value to the

89
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: things you're doing own people, and that wealth is something.

90
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: So you know, when we get walking, we get mad,

91
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: we want to castigate rappers and then a tightness and

92
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: right thing with your money, you had better do jacks.

93
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Now you're twenty nine, bill that you're tipping the stripper

94
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: with because hit a genocide on people that were from

95
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: middle of America and never were read and were here

96
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: before you got here. So you're passing a genocidal bill

97
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: to pay for your Sarah and your your need to

98
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: get grinded on. And you've never chastised yourself enough to say,

99
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: I'll only pay by PayPal because.

100
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: Or greenwood.

101
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 7: So I'm by the way.

102
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: You know what you know?

103
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: Man, in matters of money, we had better learn that

104
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: we're going to have to pack some emotion to the

105
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: side to accomplish specific goals from a monetary standpoints, so

106
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: that we can take care of ourselves because no one's

107
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: coming to save us. Nothing's coming out in sky to

108
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: save us. Karma, although it's a nice concept. Evil people

109
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: live longer and they seem to be happier. George Buston

110
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: down he was ninety middle something. So but you were.

111
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: You were ship Bernie Sanders absolutely, so you work.

112
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: You have progressive I guess liberal views. If voting for

113
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders takes my taxes up out of the forties

114
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: into the fifties, just as succeed takes care the next

115
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: twenty five to thirty years of Americans in terms of education,

116
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: health care, trade that trade and college education and basics

117
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: and extensive health care, and provide social programs that grow

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: us as a country. I have no aversion to supporting it,

119
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: and in fact, I think that much of his policy

120
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: has been robbed and looted by both parties at this point,

121
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: versus us getting behind the person who wanted to give

122
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: us everything we would have needed during this pandemic, including

123
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: some type of universal income, including some type of health

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: care that was universal leading toward it, including decriminalization marijuana,

125
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: including a federal task force that would have dealt with row,

126
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: including knowledge that would.

127
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: Have affected us.

128
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: But because we didn't do it, because we didn't go

129
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: that move, or because we got robbed of it, or whatever.

130
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: The theory is being, you gotta you know, you gotta

131
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 2: be with what you got, and you better master your coin,

132
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, because we're we're in a system where as

133
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: much as they want to say they care like Vernie,

134
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: they don't. And if you're if you're not going to

135
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: allow me to pay my ten or fifteen extra to

136
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: let someone like him leave the way, don't get mad.

137
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna try to keep an extra ten of

138
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: fifteen percent and figure out who the fuck Trump's tax

139
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: layer is.

140
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: On the West side.

141
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: But I didn't, you know, I didn't. I didn't vote

142
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: for the evil person.

143
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 7: I want that may be I want to go back

144
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 7: to it.

145
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 4: I want to go back to Greenway for a second,

146
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 4: because a lot of times, and even in the book,

147
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: it dies into the fact of black banks being put

148
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: in neighborhoods right where deposits weren't coming in at a

149
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: frequent rate, and so they had to charge higher interest

150
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: rates when they weren't loaning out money because most of

151
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: people don't really understand how banks take money the losses, right,

152
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: So my thing is like, is Greenwood is there going

153
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: to be similar how other interest rates are going to

154
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 4: be competing with the big bank?

155
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: So that's their goal first versus deposits savings, and so

156
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: it's steps.

157
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 3: This is where we are. First.

158
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: First, the goal is to wipe out check pashing her,

159
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: to wipe out the main the main parasites in poor

160
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: and working class people's fly. So you know, people here

161
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: saved twenty forty bucks. It doesn't sound like much to them,

162
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: But when you're talking about now you can save ten

163
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: percent of your income, what about and the person gets

164
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: to raise and get five on your thousand. Now you're

165
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: saving more money. So that is the attack, and the

166
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: next phase is in loans and home ownership, automobile.

167
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: Ownership, and then the phase after that.

168
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: So I like the fact that Ryan is, unlike in

169
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: the past, is not trying to do everything himself at

170
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: the same time as much as he's seeking And they're

171
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: talking to allies at this moment realizing who are they

172
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: going to get into business with in terms of partnering

173
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: with larger institutions that recover.

174
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Who are the.

175
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: Institutions that your money is an actually going to be

176
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: sitting with and as a platform, what they can do

177
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 2: to reduce the even cost of you, help you become

178
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: more financially literate, help you to save.

179
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: And so I'm thinking that's the first step to eradicate the

180
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: check cashing. Yes, push in the back of the day

181
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 4: was also the cell phone store.

182
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's level.

183
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: Then we got the deposits and loans, and so I

184
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: guess the next the last stage would be business loan,

185
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: small business loans.

186
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, small man, I don't think that's the last stage.

187
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: I just think that I just think that if you're

188
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: going to run nine miles. Plot out your first three,

189
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: then plot out your next three, and then your final three.

190
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: Right. God, so let's just say those are the first

191
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: three miles.

192
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I saw I wrestling with Ryan said like,

193
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 5: I think fifty of black businesses. Oh, black businesses get

194
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: loans at fifty percent lower rate white businesses.

195
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: I think it's we're returned, yeah, at fifty percent lower rates.

196
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: We're also denied in comparable application. We're denied twenty one

197
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: percent of the time in white some on eight.

198
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 5: Okay, So any so I'm assuming that's something that you

199
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: guys will be trying to eradicate as far as what.

200
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: There's definitely going to be. You know, Greenwood is not Superman,

201
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: doesn't come in the same What it is is a

202
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: part of the Avengers. It's a part of alternative ways

203
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: now for us to take control around dollar. And that's

204
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: everything from a new black credit union that's popping up.

205
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: That's everything from the traditional black banks that are already

206
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: in the market, whether it be Citizens Trust or Carver

207
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: or One United. And that's new platforms and fintech like Greenwood.

208
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: You know, I'm an advocate for you know, if you

209
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: want to if you want to get the freedom, take

210
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: a whole lot of buses, you know, don't depend on

211
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: everyone going in one bus, you know what I'm saying.

212
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: And he even told me and Ryan don't travel together,

213
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He's just like what you

214
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: guys are doing is that, seeon, don't even travel together.

215
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: Because if freedom is the objective, there may be slightly

216
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: different variations of but we'll get there even if it's

217
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: not at the same time. But I think we need

218
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot of pistons firing in an engine, not just one,

219
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: and we have to we have to begin to end.

220
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: I will want or need to critique or overly criticize

221
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: based on the past failure, because the failure is something

222
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: you learned from that.

223
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: And that's the part.

224
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 4: It was like if people understood their relationship with the money,

225
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: they would understand. It's like if my iPhone breaks, I

226
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 4: don't say I'm never using Apples yet anything. I'm just

227
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 4: gonna get another iPhone, you know what I mean. But

228
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: if we like and I bank with citizens, shout out

229
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: to citizens. But if they like, if they mess up

230
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: with deposit, It's not like y'all never banking with them again.

231
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 7: I'm gonna give them the same.

232
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: We gotta get it fixed.

233
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: And again that's why I tell people like one day

234
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: as a leader, which I wasn't even in the in

235
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: thanks to be, But they pay another people like that

236
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: black women to make me leave. But you know, I'm

237
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: going to say, my bad, I fucked up. Yeah, you know,

238
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: let me. Let me get back on the bus, figure out.

239
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: And there's another reason I constantly consult with people too,

240
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Even before saying yes it is,

241
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: I called around to black men who had ran banks.

242
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: I called around the people work, like, what do you

243
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: think of this? What's fin take? Helped me understand and

244
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: I got, you know, at least and I already knew.

245
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: I already trusted Andy, I already trusted Ryan because I've

246
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: seen him do it. But I just wanted to learn more.

247
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cost like I found you guys, he's learning.

248
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: It's kind of bouncing around.

249
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: We definitely right.

250
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. So what's your all right?

251
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 5: So as far as business, because you're a business owner,

252
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 5: we're sitting in a business right now. So as you said,

253
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 5: Brick and mart especially Brick and Martar businesses have been

254
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 5: hit tremendously hard since the pandemic, especially black businesses. Over

255
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 5: forty percent of black businesses have completely closed. So what

256
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 5: is your opinion, because I personally think that, like some

257
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 5: of the problems in the Black community as far as businesses,

258
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 5: that we're too reliant on brick and martar because that's

259
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 5: what we know, right. It's like we know sneaker stores,

260
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: we know hair salons, we knowstaurants, we know barbershops. They're

261
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 5: all great because there's service based businesses. But in times

262
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 5: like this, it's difficult because you have overhead, you have staff,

263
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 5: you have things of that nature. So now you're you're

264
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 5: going into the financial space, but you still have a

265
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 5: brick and mortar business. You think there's a balance between

266
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: the two for business owners or I mean, I think

267
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 5: there has to be for certain businesses. You know, I

268
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 5: think that people like the congregated Fellowship. So you can

269
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 5: only keep churches, restaurants, liquor stores, and barbershops clothes on all.

270
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 5: You know them guys are gonna hang in front of

271
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 5: the liquor store, you know not people are.

272
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 7: Going to come and get Groomuse are essential business, essential business, and.

273
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: You can't get drunk.

274
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: You go go're allowed the politicians sneaking us all.

275
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: But we have to change methodology in here.

276
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: You come here now either you have a mask or

277
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: we have one available. Take your temperature by pointment, and

278
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: only if we have four people in the chair, can

279
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: only be four of the people sitting.

280
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: So you know, and my.

281
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: Staff is great about that. I gotta I gotta give

282
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: them that. They keep it clean, they keep it sanitized.

283
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: Our bathrooms are always on that A stipper of mine

284
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: makes sure I judged businesses.

285
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: That's what was like, Yo, this this might be the

286
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 5: cleanest barbershop I've ever seen in my life. Like you

287
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: see Macul shots out Selene, what's my new guy's name?

288
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: Shots out to Sam Celeen. I thought Sam was Celeen

289
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 5: is such a pro.

290
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: He got hired as an intern paid internship, you know,

291
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: not a lot, but I would have bought a few panchoys.

292
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: But Selene also has has a talent of camera work.

293
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: And he said, hey, I worked myself out of internship.

294
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: I'm still going to do this type of stuff for

295
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: the shot, but I'm going to find a comparable replacement

296
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: and train him. So I got to give him. Those

297
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: are the type of people you want. I want to

298
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: say and I spent a lot of years floundering in

299
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: Barbara because what we had barbaring, because what we had

300
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: was people who were used to the old school way

301
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: in which I cut hair.

302
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: All day, but I don't clean up all day. It

303
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 3: was I paid bouver rent.

304
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: So I feel like I'm an independent contractor. But you

305
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: never have to worry about your air being hot.

306
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: You never have to worry about it being coffee.

307
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: You never have to or those things get solved quickly,

308
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: but you never think of about the variation of boothhunt

309
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: every changes that type stuff.

310
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: So I love.

311
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: Working with people that get it, you know what I'm saying.

312
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: And I love working with people that take cleaning the

313
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: corners of a building as seriously as they.

314
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: Take making sure that the light is on outside in

315
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: that register.

316
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Because you know, I have poured a lot into a

317
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: dream that really is a platform for other people to

318
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: prosper from. You know, I want to. I will not

319
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: have succeeded if we do not do what Chick fil

320
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: A did. Chick fil A took a novel concept and

321
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: gave the first opportunity for franchising.

322
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: To members of the church and members of the family.

323
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: They gave it to.

324
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: People they knew would take pride in it. So Chick

325
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: fil A has always been ran. It's a different type

326
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: of pride.

327
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: You know.

328
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: Andy Young talks about going and seeing Kathy Truitt walk

329
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: into stores and start cooking hisself. You know that that

330
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: is a mission that's greater than I want to make

331
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: a lot of money, that has added locations, that has

332
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: sent kids to college because they got an amazing scholarship fund.

333
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: People genuinely seen happens when you walk from Chick fil A.

334
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: You're going to McDonald a little different that on McDonald

335
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: You know, they might not.

336
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: Be treated.

337
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: It too much like Chick fil A grow ownership right

338
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: from behind these barber chairs, behind that desk. So you know,

339
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: if Selim or Sam or any intern that comes to

340
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: here grows to become an owner, you know, shouts out

341
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: to Mliss over with the Hawks, who went from being

342
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: a ball girl. I think any NBA for a now

343
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: runs marketing for the Hawks. Those are the type of

344
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: stories I want my classform to create, and that does

345
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: come with making money, but that comes from having a

346
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: team of people that add to that in that way.

347
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 7: I think that's why what you're doing, you guys are doing.

348
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 7: It's so important because.

349
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 4: You get it right, Like you know what it takes

350
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: to give a loan or to a barbershop or here someone, Yeah,

351
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: these businesses that typically wouldn't get along with. But you

352
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: said some interesting now your dreams, right, So the barbershop,

353
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: was this a dream? And if so, what what's the next? Well,

354
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: because I'm thinking my mind like you didn't know fintach.

355
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 4: So this kind of just came along and it was

356
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: a great opportunity.

357
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: So what I wanted to own up? Like I wanted

358
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: I want. I knew very young. I was like very young,

359
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: I was like this yard.

360
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: Work ships not for the real man? What do you

361
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: what are you people selling drugs out here?

362
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: I see my nigga make three hundred, my grandmother gaining

363
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: the ragged ass lawnmower. I'm going, you know, cushing fucking

364
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: more twenty five twenty bucks.

365
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: And then old.

366
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: People like after they see you do it quick, this

367
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: nigga twelve hoursoo, you know, you don't think all people

00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: can't slick you, but they're finesse you on the West Side.

369
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: But when my mom took me the Decatur, you know,

370
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: my mom lived in the cab those people didn't mind

371
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: paying twenty bucks. There was a kid living next door

372
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: to me didn't mind getting paid ten, So I would

373
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: charge ours twenty five.

374
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

375
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: I'd give him ten. Keep your teen us my lawnmower.

376
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: I gotta do maintenance on this motherfucker dog. So I

377
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: learned very early that figure out the deal, to figure

378
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: out who's smart. My mom had a good business money,

379
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. She she was always about

380
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: not working and figuring out ways to She was a

381
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: floors by nature, its main choose an artist. She dated

382
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: very successful and she did a very successful successful drug

383
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: dealer who opened up businesses as well. So she was

384
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: just always thinking. So you know, for me, it's like

385
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: it's my next thing. My next thing is master earners.

00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: Dream the thing that I started before I find a

435
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: next thing. You know the banking made sense. But I've

436
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: been peeking and poking around there for the last six

437
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: seven years, so this came and dropped in my lap.

438
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: But it was too perfect not to do. And it's

439
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: really a matter of me just getting out and getting

440
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: a message out and getting the message out let people know, hey,

441
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: we're here, we're here. You have an option that doesn't

442
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: lead you to the check cashing place after you get

443
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: your summer camp job. Right, that's easy enough to do it.

444
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: It's daunting getting up at six thirty in the morning

445
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 2: because people with money are getting up early watching TV.

446
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

447
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: By the time seven nine of our traffic hit, they

448
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: already in front of the tell they've done what they

449
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: had to do. So that part is like, Okay, this

450
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: is rison is like a real job. I gotta wake up.

451
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: But the brick and mortar stores that we do in

452
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: terms of these shops, and I call them stores because

453
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: what I learned really early is if I'm depending on

454
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: barbers and boot rent, I'm going to fail. I'm going

455
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: to close. Because people's lives is happening. You don't know

456
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: whose child needs what, you don't know what emergencies are

457
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: coming up with their parents. A lot of barbers are

458
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: talented people. They're making money on the quick, so they

459
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: like regular artists or entertainment or tradesmen or responsible for

460
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: more people than themselves, you know. So I started to

461
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: not understand because I still got to pay my rent.

462
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: But I started to see the glitch in the matrix.

463
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: So we are.

464
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: Transitioning to a commission shop, right. So I've been talking

465
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: to people like the owner of sports Clips. I've been

466
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: talking to people like who've worked in Floyd's, the nuty system,

467
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: getting it as we sharpen our system. But what kept

468
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: us open and kept us prospering and went from being

469
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: just a pet project that I wanted to have a

470
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: barbershop so I could have a guy's place to hang.

471
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: As long as it paid for myself, my business partner

472
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: and wife, you know, long as it paid for it self.

473
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: She wasn't gonna get me too much trouble. You know.

474
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: My managers had sat down, like.

475
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: Now paying for itself, make a grand or two after

476
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: bootprint and all your bills paid.

477
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: So it was like cool, and I was like, but then.

478
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 8: I'm like, you know what, Like when I'm sitting in

479
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 8: a barbershop. Oftentimes I just need a T shirt, Like

480
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 8: I just went to picked up some Class Air Forces

481
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 8: and I got to go to the BB. I don't

482
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 8: even want to go to the BP. I gotta go

485
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,520

00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: I selling T shirt? Yeah, we started selling T shirts?

488
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,560

489
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: barber about some moneys they don't or don't have, or

490
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: how short his short, to knowing I'm doing thousands of

491
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: months in merchandise, and I start to understand that not

492
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: only are we a barber shop, we're a cultural center

493
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: and the swag shop, unlike most barbershops with shave washing room,

494
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 2: have the actual culture of barbering. So our faces are

495
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 2: painted red like a London style barbershop. Our polers read

496
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 2: like a London style barbershop. Once you get in. We

497
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 2: try to keep it very simple in terms of what

498
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: you see with the barbers. We use very you know,

499
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,240

Speaker 3: A fan of art.

502
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: Chris Hoby did this from art Refolks. He also did

503
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 2: the back. We keep things very simple, very clean, very

504
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: taste and very mad like. And then we get you here,

505
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,680

508
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: relationship with other small businesses in which we want to

00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: make merch. The Travis, the Travis, the Travis Scots dropped

510
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: the colorway is no accident. You understand what I'm saying,

511
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: And I know that everybody doesn't want to wear the

512
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: exact same outfit.

513
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:44,879

Speaker 2: You gotta see them one with two radulos. So what

523
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: we're in the business of doing now is making sure

524
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: that not only do you get a shave washing room,

525
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 2: proper shave washing room, because you just sitting there getting

526
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: a dry haircut is an experience. You might argue about sports,

527
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: but a shave washing room is the only thirty minutes

528
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: to an hour that the black man or American working

529

Speaker 2: going to see this stuff now we and this is

541
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: you know, when we talk about Schorman Shart, we talking

542
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: about to me, two of the most influential black men

543
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: walk who plays of the Earth. It means something that

544
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: you're in this shirt because this shirt needs to say

545
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: because on the basket determines your worth right. These men

546
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: prove that work ethic determines your work. It actually proves that.

547
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: So in the real world. I want this culture to

548
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: leave from behind the counter and go in the real

549
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: world and create positive and systemic change.

550
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 3: You know what, This reminds me of Troy, somebody that

551
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,720

557
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 5: interview in the juice bar, and he was telling us

558
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: how actually before he got there, the staff was telling

559
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: us how it changed the whole culture in the community.

560
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 5: Like people come and they look forward to getting the

561
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 5: jew sym and it's like and then he was his

562
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 5: white heim and his wife was telling us, Now they

563
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 5: not only do the juices, but they got the online juice,

564
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 5: and they got the merch and they got the whole thing.

565
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 5: They turned into a whole business. So it reminds me

566
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 5: the same thing. It's like, not only are you, it's

567
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 5: a cultural thing. Like you said, it's a culture for

568
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 5: the community, but you're integrated, vertically rested peace.

569
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 4: In this I'm going to because I'm like, yo, this

570
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 4: is now like when we went to la we had

571
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: to go to the marathon, so juice right, and so

572
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: it was like it becomes a cultural landmarks. And so

573
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: like I saw Nipsey out here, I'm like, yo, that's

574
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: what you created. After a cultural landmark? Was like, now

575
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 4: when you come to Atlanta, you have to come out

576
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 4: and go to Yonkers.

577
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 7: Yo, where's the juice bar?

578
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

579
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: And it provides not only opportunity for you, but also

580
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 4: provides opportunity for the community. Because the next thing it

581
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: was like, Yo, how do we grow because maybe this

582
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 4: merch sells out so fast?

583
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,359

625
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: track the bad but so that that's it. You have

626
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: to start. You learn to do that. You learn to

627
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: get in the game at first and then start saying,

628
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: well what can I produce? What can I do? You know,

Speaker 2: are all these lighters I use, but people are willing

632
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,760

Speaker 2: song this was the coolest mom ever. In the middle

647
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: of this shop with all black guys, nobody looking minising.

648
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: She's just like my son loves y'all and I wanted

649
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: to come in. He's to run the jewels fan. I'm like,

650
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: you are the coolest motherfucking We took a great pic,

651
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: but that type of stuff happens more often than not.

652
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: And I realized that the slash shot you know a

653
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: lot people say it's a brand. Absolutely is a brand,

654
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: but it's a brand based around the culture.

655
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: Of black and working class barbershops.

656
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: And what my ambition is to have, my small ambition

657
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: is to have one hundred and fifty three in every

658
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: major black market that's from Buffalo to Miami, from Los

659
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: Angeles to Charlotte. To have three and to expand. I

660
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: see now, as I learn more about this game, and

661
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: I see Floyd's and Ludies and supercussion, great clips, I

662
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: don't see any reasons why we can't get in excess

663
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: to five hundred.

664
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 4: So at this point, I'm thinking, when people see you,

665
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: do they even think about music?

666
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 7: But the first thing they think about is like.

667
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: Run the Jews was top ten on the Stillboard two hundred.

668
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: We sold a lot of records. We just did an

669
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: adult swim special I only performers this year that's on

670
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: HBO Max for a month. We're arguably the greatest rap

671
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: duo in the world right now. So I think that

672
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: people know me for music, but I'm more encouraged that

673
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: people know me for more than you.

674
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: So my family's from.

675
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: Tuskege, Alabama, and if you talk about Lionel Richie, of

676
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: course you start singing and people start thinking of great records.

677
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: My family was land on the family. So with my aunt,

678
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: he's remind you, you know, he bout he bought a

679
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: lot of l a baby, he did something with his money.

680
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: He didn't just give it all the children. So first

681
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: stop having children, not a wet lock. And he lay

682
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: like Lionel richie, you know, And and I can at

683
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: chance of that because I was talking to a billion

684
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: are three days ago and he said, one of the

685
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: most savvy business people I know is an entertainer named

686
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: linal He calls lion nail, you know, white liar nail.

687
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: Now that's dope.

688
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: And even when we get to the bar before and

689
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: he gave me an idea I never thought about.

690
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 5: I go to Barbius my whole life, and he was like,

691
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 5: how many times you see the barber selling hair grease,

692
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 5: selling brooms, selling a brush, selling a comb. We said, yeah,

693
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 5: it's like what you would think like that, that makes sense,

694
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 5: that makes complete sense.

695
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: It's like, why would I have to leave the barbershop.

696
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: Into beauty store with my wife? So we started brushing.

697
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: I hate born in the beauty stores to buy my

698
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: great so we'll make sure everybody gets the brush of

699
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: stuff too. But beyond that, I found a black company

700
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: based here in Atlanta that that Dutch private labeling that

701
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: you sit down with let them know what you want.

702
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: They create a line for you, and we've got our

703
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: online created and we'll be using a black company as

704
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: I sourced locally to supply line. So by Christmas days

705
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: you'll be able. You'll get guys to get a package

706
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: to take care.
