18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: to write you that check, well then I don't want

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: the check. I'll give you example. I signed my third contract.

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in the room and the owner walks in

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: and he says, listen, we're gonna make him the.

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: Highest paid player in the game.

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: So they give me fifty million dollars, right, they give

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: me twenty up front, and my agent looked at me

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: and I got up and walked out of the room,

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 3: and he was like, what's wrong. Why are you walking

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: out of the room. I said, because it finally cleared.

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: Player money no longer impresses me. I want to know

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: what he does because if he can pay me this much,

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: then I need to learn that show.

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,920

Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely so.

42
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 6: I think you know obviously people know the football career

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 6: enough from the athletic side, obviously Hall of Fame, one

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 6: of the best ever to do it. But you're doing

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff on the business side, So I

46
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 6: kind of want to start there.

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: Let's go back to nineteen ninety six and we're getting drafted.

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 6: And the gentleman by the name of Ozlemus who played

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 6: they played an introviraal obviously.

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: Bringing it to the team, but also mentally do when

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: gods do off the field.

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: So talking about the role of the impact that Oz

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: had on your life, Yeah, it.

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 7: Was interesting because Ozzy first drafted me to Baltimore. I'm

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 7: sitting in there in the locker and waiting on his

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 7: phone call and he calls and says, we're going to

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 7: draft you to Baltimore.

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: And I says, I said, Baltimore doesn't have a team,

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: Like how are you drafting.

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Me to Baltimore?

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: You know? And he's like, nah, you know, we coming

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: from Cleveland. And I'm like, what all of the teams

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: I could have been drafted to? I go to freaking Baltimore.

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: And from the first day, man when he told me

65
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: I was coming in, what he invested into me on

66
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: the field was one thing, but the investment that he

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: gave me off the field was everything. And there was

68
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: everything about the front office and understanding how the entire

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: machine actually runs, and at a very young age, I

70
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: wanted to know that because I just didn't want to

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: be a player on the field. I wanted to be

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: a player off the field as well. And so Ozzi

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: still to this day, he just called me a week ago.

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: I'm talking about some stuff. So we had that relationship

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: since I was nineteen years old and now I'm forty

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: seven years old, that same relationship with ozn' So I.

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Want to talk about some financial stuff.

78
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 5: If we were talking over there and you were saying,

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 5: how a lot of guys, you know, obviously make a

80
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: lot of you know, poor decisions when it comes to finances.

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: What you know, talking about taxes and what looks like

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 5: a forty million dollar contract really isn't a forty million

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 5: dollar contract.

84
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: You can you kind of break that down a little bit. Yeah, Look,

85
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: it's really simple.

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: I think a lot of us look at athletes contracts

87
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: and the first thing you look at is the number, right,

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: But the one thing you don't look at is how

89
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: much of that number is gone before you even signed

90
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: the check. Right, that number does not really exist. Right,

91
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: So you said, oh my gosh, this guy made one

92
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: hundredllion dollars, absolutely not right, forty percent is coming to

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: Uncle Sam or whoever that is that you're paying your

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: money to immediately. And so what I started to do,

95
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: probably in year eight or nine is really started to

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: understand why I was not counting my own money.

97
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: Right. We hire people to count our money for us.

98
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: We hire people to get to give us monthly updates

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: right on, oh well you spent this this mnch.

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: Well, I don't need you to tell me that.

101
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: If I see my statements myself, if I know what

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: every plenty of my money is going, then yeah, I

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: can do that myself. And so interesting enough, when I

104
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: got done planning a partner with a guy recently by

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: the mema Julio Gonzales, probably one of the number one

106
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: tax guys in the world, and for him to take

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: me through the entire tax bracket and how they don't

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: pay taxes. You know, you think about rich, Being rich

109
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: is great because you can buy a lot of things.

110
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: Being wealthy.

111
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: You can pass that to the generation at the generation

112
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: at the generation. But you have to know it's not

113
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: about making money. It's how do you keep money. That's

114
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: the number one rule of life, right, I can people

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: can pay you see it all the time.

116
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: People pay athletes all the time, pay actors all the time.

117
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: You never get an opportunity to sit in the rooms

118
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 3: where they're talking about ownership or partnership. Why because the

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: most important thing is a relationship. And they don't have

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: a relationships with athletes. They have a relationships with a number.

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: A number is fifty two, and number is eighty, a

122
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: number is thirty two, A numbers, whatever your number is,

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: that's what they relate to.

124
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: Why because that's what makes their money. Right.

125
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 3: But one of the biggest disconnects that all players must understand.

126
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: I stopped taking endorsements two thousand and ten, twenty ten.

127
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: Why I bought my name back. Why because I don't

128
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: need endorsements right like I want ownership right. I want

129
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: partnership right. Because partnership then dictates and shows me what

130
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: a relationship is.

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: Right.

132
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: Every hand that I've shook in my professional career, that

133
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: hand remembered why I shook their hand, And it was

134
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 3: not because they wrote me a check. It's because I

135
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: told them I'll be seeing them again on the other

136
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: side of football.

137
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the exciting part for me.

138
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, So when did that light bulb click for somebody

139
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 5: educating you on.

140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: That Yeah, and you have to search for that education.

141
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: So one of the greatest educators ever. And regardless of

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: what anybody thinks, if you don't have a relationship with God,

143
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: it's almost impossible to control.

144
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: Your life, right.

145
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: Like, you have to have someone who's in the forefront

146
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: of your life that you actually go to.

147
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: So God has been in my life my entire life.

148
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: My mom's a pastor and my dad was a pastor

149
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: before he passed last year. So I've always been raised

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: from that core. But that's the foundation of who you are.

151
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: So when you start to look for information and you

152
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: start to pray for God to surround you around the

153
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: right people. I had the wrong people around me when

154
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: I was in my twenties, but by the time I

155
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: got in my mid thirties, God was surrounding me around

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: people that can educate me right.

157
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: And once I started to grab that education, that's food. Right.

158
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: He says that you would know my people the fruit

159
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: that they bear. So I wanted to know the fruit

160
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: that the people was around me. What fruit are you, Barren?

161
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: Don't tell me. You can show me how to make money.

162
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: I can make money myself, but show me how I

163
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: can affect people. Right, show me how I can dictate

164
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: my next part of my legacy.

165
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: Making tackles is great. Right.

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: Playing in the National Football League was one of the

167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: most amazing things ever. Is why because they brought my

168
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: mother out of the good right. And so that's where

169
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: I think guys have to take a deeper dive if

170
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: you really want to change your life, because if you

171
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: really believe money is gonna do it, it won't right.

172
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: It'll give you ups and downs. The devil has the

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: same power. God has the only power he doesn't have.

174
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: He can't save your life, but he can give you

175
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: everything that this world offers. And most of it is fast,

176
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: most of it is shining, and most of it spins.

177
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: Right.

178
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: God gives you things that does the opposite, and all

179
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 3: lords people.

180
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 6: Say, hey, man, so you told about in your twenties

181
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 6: and you know being here this week's super Bowl week.

182
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 6: It's been kind of a common theme amongst some of

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 6: the players is that yet early on in their career,

184
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 6: they didn't have the people around them. They didn't have

185
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 6: the education, and a lot of it is because they

186
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 6: didn't care to know, because they were taking recommendations from people.

187
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: It's the setup. It's what happens.

188
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: And when you're seventeen years old, When you're seventeen years old,

189
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: this agent walks up to you. He says, don't mention

190
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: my name again, but I want to be your agent.

191
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: And you, because you're broke and you have absolutely nothing,

192
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: you say, wow, okay, I'll stay in touch with you.

193
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 2: And while you stand in touch.

194
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: With him, he then follows your career and wait till

195
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: you get into your junior senior year, my junior year,

196
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: you know.

197
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: And then there was there was times.

198
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: Right, there's an nil deal now out there, So who

199
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 3: cares about what I tell now?

200
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: Right?

201
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 6: But statue a limitation they have inspired expressed me.

202
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: But when you take my you take what I was

203
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: doing in nineteen ninety four, Bro, nineteen ninety four was

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: what they're letting kids do now.

205
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: I was saying, why can't you be paid? Right?

206
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: That's you cannot tell me if somebody wants to help

207
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: me out because of what I do, why can't you

208
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 3: allow that? So when that started to being allowed in

209
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four, man, listen, bro bags bags being dropped off,

210
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: Bro like double bag boy, ruffle bags, Like, you're not

211
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: talking to me unless I have a bag drop off.

212
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: So then, but it's a system, right because a friend

213
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: forget the friend. The friend says, hey, ray, I got

214
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: this person. I got this person, I got a lawyer,

215
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: I got an agent, I got bro And you're like,

216
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: before you know it, you don't trust it. Somebody that

217
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: you have not built a relationship with and you just

218
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: give them your whole check, I mean you right over

219
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: then higher check and you've never sat with them or

220
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: have dinner with them, and then in your life. And

221
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: that's the system of how our kids are taught on

222
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: how to go into the National Football League, the NBA,

223
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: all these different things and trust people that have not

224
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 3: put no swimpt equity into who we are. Right, it's

225
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: criminal right to a certain person to a certain point.

226
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: And so I wanted to change that, which I did.

227
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: So.

228
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 5: So you mentioned in a NIL. How do you feel

229
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 5: about NIL?

230
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: I think it's the nil deal was supposed to be different? Right?

231
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: What does that mean? These major colleges have endowment funds? Right?

232
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: The universe of Miament has an endowment fund almost forty

233
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: billion dollars or more. Those kids are supposed to eat

234
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: from that fund. They're not supposed to eat from outside. Now,

235
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 3: once you let people from outside come in, then that's

236
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: where the division of the locker room starts. Why because

237
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: you pay a quarterback a million dollars, but you paid

238
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: the lineman nothing, but the quarterback came through the ball

239
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: u less than linement blocking. Right, So all of the

240
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: the way it was supposed to be, the distribitted. When

241
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: I was arguing the issue, I was saying, listen, if

242
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: my number fifty two makes a certain dollar amount, then

243
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: I should eat from that.

244
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: Why should I eat from my money from my name

245
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: that I make?

246
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: You?

247
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: You cannot make money off my name. Right.

248
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: There's no Fortune five hundred company in America that you

249
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: can use their brand. You cannot use the NFL logo

250
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: by yourself. You wear a shirt and you advertise that

251
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: they gonna want a percentage of that, Well, then my

252
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: name should represent the same thing, and every athlete should

253
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 3: represent that exact same thing, which it doesn't, right because

254
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: the NFLPA we're up under this this brand, right, I

255
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: made over Jesus my jersey from two thousand and five

256
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: to two thousand and eight.

257
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: Bro, listen, hundreds of millions of dollars. I have it,

258
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: you have.

259
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: It, and you and think about a two hundred and

260
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: fifty dollars Jersey and I got a five.

261
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Thousand dollars check.

262
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: Sum's off with that math. Sum's off of that math.

263
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: But it's the same thing with the nil dealing.

264
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: Colleges. Pay the kids from where they make the money.

265
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: Don't let outside endorsers come in once again, the endorsement model,

266
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: because that takes the that's that takes the attention off

267
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: of them. The endorsement model is not the way to go, man,

268
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you it's gonna it's gonna continue to

269
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: divide our children, just like the portal. The portal is cool,

270
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: but the portal takes the leash off what greatness really is.

271
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: Man's greatness hurts.

272
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: That's a lot of down days that you got to

273
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: go through to find out what greatness is.

274
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: And now kids are in the.

275
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: Portal and they can run away from that so quickly

276
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: they disagree with the coach. I'm transferring this year. You know,

277
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: I got four sons, I got four kings, I got

278
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: two queens, and I went through that whole battle. And

279
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there saying, son earn a job. I was

280
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: never given a job. I had to take a job,

281
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: you know, and so a lot of these things that

282
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: they're creating, I think it's taking the issue off what

283
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: the real issue is, Like, our kids should be paid,

284
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: but they should be compensated from where the money sits,

285
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: and that's in this endowment funds.

286
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: That's an absolute fact. Man. I've not even thought about that,

287
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: the endowments of the schools.

288
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 6: But you said endorsements aren't the way, and so it

289
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 6: makes me wonder at that point, you're getting a salary

290
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 6: from the NFL, but you're not doing endorsements. We all,

291
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 6: you know, we preach having one income. It's too close

292
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 6: to none. What other type of alternatives that you seek

293
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 6: to find a way to make money off the field?

294
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: Partnerships? Okay, partnerships?

295
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: Right, everybody wants to shake your hand and they want

296
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: they want to make you the greatest thing ever. Right,

297
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, come do this, come speak here, come

298
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: do that.

299
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: I will if I own part of that.

300
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: Because of my own part of that, then I got

301
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: ownership in that. And if I got ownership and that,

302
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: then I speak about it a little more boldly, right,

303
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: little more fast. I have a little more energy of

304
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: getting up every morning to come do what you want

305
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: me to do. No matter how much you own, right,

306
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: think I own it one hundred percent of nothing, that's nothing.

307
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: But if you got your hands and enough things that

308
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: I got my hands in, man, I got percentage of this.

309
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: I got.

310
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: Twenty eight thirty thirty plus companies man that my hands

311
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: is in that I own or partner, which means I

312
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: have a relationship with them. If I can teach my

313
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: kids stop with endorsements. That's a check. And if somebody's

314
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: able to write you that check, well then I don't

315
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: want to check.

316
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. I signed my third contract.

317
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in the room and the owner walks in

318
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: and he says, listen, we're gonna make him the highest

319
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: paid player in the game. So they give me fifty

320
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: million dollars, right, they give me twenty up front, and

321
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: my agent looked at me, and I got up and

322
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: walked out of the room, and he was like, what's wrong.

323
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Why are you walking out of the room.

324
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: I said, because it finally cleared. Player money no longer

325
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: impresses me. I want to know what he does because

326
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: if he can pay me this much, then I.

327
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: Need to learn that business. Right.

328
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: So athletes think about this. Athletes are never introduced to

329
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: the owner concept until you make enough money because they

330
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: tell you I'll put you in the next slot.

331
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,359
Speaker 2: Right, every athlete is slotted.

332
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: So whether you think an agent is relevant or not,

333
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: every athlete the number is already marked. So when you

334
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: come to that number, you're like, I want a few

335
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: more million, I want a few hundred thousand more maybe,

336
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: but you're slotted. So they always make us think about

337
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: the player. And then I wanted to know what an

338
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: owner things like. So then I started to sitting myself

339
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: around owners and I started to say, why that's a

340
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: different conversation than I have in the locker room full

341
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: of players. They don't even think about ownership. They don't

342
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 3: even think about owning their IP at all. The only

343
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: thing they think about is the next check. When you

344
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: become a boss, you don't think about your next check.

345
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: You right, the checks. That's the difference. Absolutely, that's the ball.

346
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 5: So ownership. Staying on the ownership theme the NFL, I

347
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 5: think it's like mayde sixty five percent of black players

348
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 5: make up the NFL, so seventy three seventy three, Okay,

349
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 5: no black ownership. So there's the Rooney rule to try to,

350
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: you know, have more black head coaches, which a lot

351
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: of people think that that's flawed, but at least they

352
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 5: have something in place. What are your thoughts on having

353
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 5: the majority of the league be black players, have no

354
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 5: black ownership, and how can we get it to the

355
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: point where there is representation in the owner's box.

356
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: We own and we control sports, right, Blacks dominate that

357
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: from an NFL level, But you're not changing that unless

358
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: you're sitting in the ownership rooms. So we can argue

359
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: all we want to about not having black coaches, but

360
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: until we get a black owner in that office or two,

361
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 3: then that ain't changing.

362
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: No matter what rule you want to talk about.

363
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying, like, we only look for

364
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: the check, We only look for the position that's given.

365
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: In today's time, it's time for us to take that.

366
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: That's what partnerships and ownership is, right. My goal is simple.

367
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: My goal has never changed. I'm forty seven years old.

368
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: In the next five to seven years, my goal is

369
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: to put myself in the right position to possibly become

370
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: the first black minority owner international Football League.

371
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: Why because I want to change the narrative. Right. If

372
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: we don't do that if we don't do that, then

373
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: no conversation changes.

374
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 6: Why do you think that hasn't happened. It's simple because

375
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about this. Seventy three percent of you right

376
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 6: to control the league. We got some of the greatest

377
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 6: players that's ever played this game, multi millionaires. How come

378
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: there's never been well, maybe there has been a conversation

379
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 6: to come together as a group to become more of

380
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 6: the minority or become the investment group behind the ownership

381
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 6: of a team.

382
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,160

Speaker 3: to make a check. The attraction is to get out

452
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: the hood. The attraction has never been how do you

453
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 3: become owner? Nobody teaches that, and let's just sit in

454
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: that room to listen what owners are discussing. So luckily

455
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: in my career I was able to start sitting in

456
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 3: those rooms. Definitely, Yeah, to sit there and listen what

457
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 3: they're talking about. And I said, and I started to

458
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: say it. I said, man. They was like, oh my gosh,

459
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: this much player signed for this much money. I said,

460
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: that does not impress me. Do you know the person

461
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: who's writing a check, That's what I'm chasing. And so

462
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: until that dynamic starts to really change and we have

463
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 3: enough of us who understands our true power is what

464
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: we can do together. But the individual, individual check is written,

465
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: and then so this person gonna I gotta take my money.

466
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: I gotta take my money. I gotta take my money.

467
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: I gotta take my money.

468
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 3: And it's great, you can take your money, but the

469
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 3: generations after that there's still the same model. I just

470
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: think the model can only change if we're sitting in

471
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: those owners' meetings.

472
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: Hees what I'm saying. There's a lot of investment.

473
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: You asked me about coaching, right, There's a lot of

474
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: investment that goes into coaching.

475
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: Right.

476
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: There's a lot of investing to go from coaches to

477
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: the gms, right, gms to the owner. Those are steps

478
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: and you have to be invested to do that. But

479
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: you also have to have the education to understand all

480
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: of the aspects of the game and not just playing

481
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 3: the game.

482
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: Right.

483
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: When you get in the front office, You're not only

484
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 3: just counting people checks, right, You're talking about everything that

485
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: walks in that building.

486
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: Right, tomorrow's game. The only thing we see is a game.

487
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 3: Man, that's a zillion dollar business, right, with intricate parts

488
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: that everybody has to be in control of. And so

489
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: that's why I'm telling you, like, until you start to

490
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: sit down and study that world, it's and that's one vertical.

491
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: Go to the MLB, go to the NBA, NHL, same model.

492
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: A bunch of owners got together, put a pool together,

493
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 3: Let's make this money, let's build this and that's what

494
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: they do, right. So we have the ability, but because

495
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 3: of the checks being so current, it never crosses.

496
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: Our mind to become owner. We're okay with being a player. Right.

497
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: So I started to make a transition halfway through my career.

498
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 5: So when you were fortunate enough to be in those owners' meetings,

499
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 5: what's some of the things that you learn from just

500
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: sitting and listening to the conversations.

501
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: Man, nothing matters to them but what each one of

502
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: them think seriously like and that's what I respect about

503
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: that needing. It's like, that's why I go back to

504
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: talking about partnership. Partnerships in life it's only based off

505
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: one thing.

506
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: Relationships. That's it.

507
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: Bro who you do, partner, who you partner with, That's

508
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: a relationship. And that's what I respect so much about

509
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: the relationships that they have in that circle of power

510
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 3: that they have.

511
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: That's why they signed deals together. That's why they broke

512
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 2: the TV deals together.

513
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's like it's a genius concept, right, but

514
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 3: how many of us will really come together and break

515
00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 3: that concept.

516
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 5: You said something that was very insightful. You said that

517
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 5: they only care about what each other think.

518
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 2: That's it that you don't.

519
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 3: You don't care about what somebody else show does, you

520
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: work your show, you call your guy.

521
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: Or you don't care about just what yourself thinks. You

522
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: gotta give mice you what The overall theme is, we

523
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: have a machine.

524
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: The machine must run, right, players careers three years, three

525
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: and a half years, and the next one come in,

526
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: and the next one come in, and the next one

527
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 3: come in. It's a revolving it. In all the sports,

528
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: all the sports has ran exactly like this. That's why

529
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 3: the next thing, the next only the most important person

530
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: in an athlete's life in the owner's perspective, is the

531
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: next one.

532
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 5: That's crazy that's that's on the way they work.

533
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: That nobody's bigger than the progress. It's only it's the

534
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: only way that works. Bro, There's nobody bigger than the

535
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: bigger than the machine.

536
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 6: You reference the fact that I asked you about coaching,

537
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 6: but the answer I got, I think we should elaborate

538
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 6: on there. With the power of impact, and it's something

539
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 6: that I had to experience working in education and realize

540
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 6: I can affect the school, but I could affect the

541
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 6: world doing something different. Talk about why you haven't chosen

542
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 6: the coach because of.

543
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: The power of impact.

544
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the coaching side, it's attractive, right, because

545
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 3: I've been into my entire life. I've been playing, I've

546
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: been coaching, I've been mentored, I've been.

547
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: Doing a lot of those things.

548
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: But with the impact that I'm trying to make, I

549
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: just want to hear the Lord when I finally go home,

550
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: say well done, my good and faithful certain I don't

551
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: think that's just going to come from me being a

552
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: great football player. I think that's going to come from

553
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: me making an impact on people and being alike amongst.

554
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: People to show them the way. God says.

555
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: Many a call, but few are chosen sending the question

556
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: I got this is how do you become a part

557
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: of the few?

558
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: Right? That's that's a real question, right.

559
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 3: And So coaching is great, and I'm forty seven, so

560
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: maybe I'll coach at fifty five. But with what I'm

561
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: doing with each one of my companies, one of my

562
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: ventures being fifty two Ventures Prosperity Reimagined, is how do

563
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: we go into these communities and how do we change

564
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: the look of those communities. All this money that they

565
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: keep saying, we're giving this much money to black communities,

566
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: I have not seen one black.

567
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: Community change so fact, and I mean real change, right.

568
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: So that for me, I've sat down studied them twenty

569
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: plus years. I've been in the hoods, I've been in

570
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: the prisons. I'm walking around, I'm trying to figure it out.

571
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: And every time I see Martin Luther King Street, I'm saying,

572
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: why is Martin Luther King Street in the most dysfunctional

573
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: place in the city.

574
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: That has to change.

575
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: So that's why I think my focus and what I'm

576
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: focusing on now is much bigger. So if I want

577
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: to come back to coach, and I will, I just

578
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: don't think right now is the time.

579
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we always hear hard stories of athletes getting

580
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 5: taken advantage of from financial advisors, from accountants, from lawyers.

581
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: Every how, What is the process to actually be able

582
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 5: to trust somebody and what should you never do to

583
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: kind of safeguard yourself from being taken advantage of?

584
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you should always have three layers, right,

585
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: you share your spiritual foundation, your family foundation, and then

586
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: your business foundation. And all three of those layers, we

587
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: must have somebody at every level right to spiritually guide you. Family,

588
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: somebody you trust, and then business is somebody who has

589
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: to answer to your family and your spiritual guidance, right,

590
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: because once they have to answer to them. The problem

591
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: is we do an opposite, right. Our talent opens the door.

592
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: We go in and we sign a check. As soon

593
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 3: as we sign the check, the first thing we do

594
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: is sign it over to an agent that we just

595
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 3: met two weeks ago, who then passes to his financial team,

596
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: and then they start deshriving your money and you never

597
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: see your money ever again.

598
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: So we have to check. But it's the model.

599
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: It's the model, right, and every almost every person goes

600
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: down that same model. If you don't change that model,

601
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: about one of the things I started doing with my

602
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: financial visor.

603
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: Right, I said, every penny, every penny.

604
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: That leaves or comes into my account, I should be

605
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: alerted every penny.

606
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: Right, And what does that mean? I should have the

607
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: same access you have.

608
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: You should not have to call me in two weeks

609
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: to report on my money. No, I should be reporting

610
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: to you what I want to do with my money.

611
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: But that's taking ownership, right. It's back the ownership, and

612
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: it's back the partnership. I have a great partnership with

613
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: my financial teams, and I have ownership of all of

614
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: my entire world. And that's why I like to see it.

615
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: I got spiritual guidance, I got family guidance with my

616
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: mom and what she does. And then I have business

617
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: teams that actually over see each other and making sure

618
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: that I am not being hustled, which I have.

619
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: I've been down that road, bro millions of dollars.

620
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 3: Come on, man, why do you want to talk about it? Bruh,

621
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: talk about it. I'm still looking for the people. Know, easy,

622
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 3: easy statute of limitations may not have this fire. No,

623
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: it's crazy because you trust people, maam, and you trust

624
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: people and you trust them to do what's best for you.

625
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: And then you realize that that person equally yoked, that

626
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: person has no guide in their life, and all the

627
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: thing you trust is well, I've been in financial for

628
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: fifteen years, twenty years, okay, and now that I'm on

629
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: this side of life, I'm able to say and right, Nah,

630
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: you got to ask those questions. The easiest thing to

631
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: do is give somebody a check. The hardest thing to

632
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: do is ask questions that you don't know that they

633
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: don't know.

634
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: How to tell you. It's the hardest thing to do.

635
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's talk about the work, because I can hear

636
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 6: the passion in you. I could imagine you coming into

637
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 6: a community. There's going to be a presence that you feel.

638
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 6: So let's talk about fifty two Foundations and the work

639
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 6: that y'all are doing, because it's incredible, right, giving economic

640
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 6: consistence to the youth. Talk about the obviously the goal

641
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 6: of it, the start of it, and how everything is

642
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 6: being functioned inside of it. Yeah, one of them.

643
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: One of my other companies started in twenty fifteen in

644
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: Baltimore after the unrest of Freddie Gray, right, and at

645
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: that time, I started a solar company at the time,

646
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: and why because I started walking the streets, and the

647
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: streets of Baltimore was burning and everybody was just frustrated.

648
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: And you know, Baltimore, it is beautiful, but it has

649
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 3: a bad black eye content to it. And so my

650
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: company started in twenty fifteen, and now, man Jesus, I

651
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: think we just had our twenty four to twenty fifth

652
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: graduation right to where now we took hundreds of game

653
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: members off the streets and we've given them options.

654
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: Right, We've given them an alternative. They're not going to work.

655
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: For a four or five dollars job, but if you

656
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: teach them a solo job, right, which then leads into construction,

657
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: which then leaves them leaving their block that they're fighting

658
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: for and leave the freaking state to go work another

659
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: job somewhere else, right, And so now you give them

660
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: And so the greatest ability to see that is walk

661
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: up to those graduations and listen to a mother saying

662
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: he gave up drug life, and you save my son's life.

663
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: It's the greatest reward you'll ever get in business.

664
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: And so that's why with powerful the two foundation is

665
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 3: it's remarkable because it gives somebody a fresh breath of

666
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 3: that maybe I've made a mistake but I can pick

667
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 3: myself up and I can keep going.

668
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: And that's what we do. Right.

669
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: So whether it's second and third chance offenders, whoever that

670
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 3: may come in there, right, we give you second and

671
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: third chances, we give you fourth chances, we give you

672
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 3: fifth chances. Right, we have an eighty five percent placement rate.

673
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: The moment you leave our school, you get hired immediately.

674
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: Right. If we don't start there, right.

675
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 3: Another one of my partners we own, We own these

676
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: waste managements in Baltimore. Another huge project from an academy

677
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: standpoint is in Genevo, Ohio called Spire Institute. Same concept

678
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: as IMG, but what we're doing inside of that academy

679
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: is we're teaching children how to actually function in a

680
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: very dysfunctioned culture.

681
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: How do you do that? Right?

682
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: That's why man the kem Bae Mtumbo finally partners. So

683
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 3: now we have a relationship with Africa, with NBA Africa

684
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 3: coming through Spire right with Towagas.

685
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: We can take kids who's.

686
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: Living in poverty and then put them in an eight

687
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand square floor building and feed them

688
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 3: every day and change their culture and change.

689
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 2: What they see.

690
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: A lot of people focus on ROI return of investment,

691
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: return of investment, return of investment. But if you think

692
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: about the communities that I live in, return of investment

693
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: is not the hot topic. The hot topic should be

694
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 3: what we created, which is ioa imagination, tunity access, right,

695
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: clap it up for that.

696
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be bothering. So yeah, let me ask you this.

697
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: You're in media, and that's something that a lot of athletes. Uh,

698
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 5: it's very hot right now, right everybody when they retire,

699
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 5: they want to become a broadcaster, but very few people

700
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 5: are actually able to be successful in that in that space.

701
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 5: So talk about how your transition and media happened and

702
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: how you were able to, you know, become successful in

703
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: another leg of your career. And like I said, that's

704
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 5: actually probably harder to be successful in TV than it

705
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 5: is on the field.

706
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

707
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 3: People ask me all these questions every day, just every day,

708
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: like how can I do this?

709
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: How can I get better? How this?

710
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 3: And I was like, and I was talking to my

711
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 3: team and I was like, man, you know, the podcast

712
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: is great and I'm doing this and I got this going,

713
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 3: but I got I got to go a little bit deeper, right,

714
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: So I was like, you know what, every Friday, we're

715
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 3: going to do fifty two Fridays because this ironic year

716
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, there is actually fifty two Fridays and

717
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: this year, and inside of these fifty two Fridays, there

718
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 3: will be a principle that you have to not listen to,

719
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: but you have to apply. And that principle carries you

720
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 3: to the next week until you get to the next Friday.

721
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: But by the time you get to fifty two Fridays,

722
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: you will have fifty two principles and the only thing

723
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 3: that fails is your application of them. That's it, right,

724
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: because the principles will never change, it's what you have

725
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: to apply them, right. And so that's what fifty two

726
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: Fridays was kind of birthed from, like really sharing with

727
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: watching the podcast grow it with the way it grew,

728
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: and then realizing like people are hearing it, but how

729
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 3: many people.

730
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 2: Are applying it. So fifty two Friday.

731
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: Says, now apply apply that, and now when you apply it,

732
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 3: need you to send that back to me, show me

733
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: your application, right, And so now all of these fans

734
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: and stuff are sending information back. I'm off work, but

735
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 3: I'm in the I'm in I'm in my dungeon at

736
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: one and two o'clock in the morning. Right, I said,

737
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna eat this, so now I'm working out right.

738
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: So it's it's really crazy, man, when you see how

739
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 3: much traffic comes in of just people just collaborating.

740
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: You know. Awesome question.

741
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 5: So football, we were talking offline ESPN thirty for thirty.

742
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: Oh they said that.

743
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 5: Well, we talked about if you guys were the greatest

744
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 5: defense ever. So you know, some people say the Bears.

745
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 2: Said, oh that's a Chicago guy. You see, you saw

746
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 2: the Bears era. So I'm gonna respect that. I'm gonna

747
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: respect that. Go ahead, But.

748
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 5: You you gave a very convincing argument why you guys

749
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 5: had the best defense.

750
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: Can you talk about why you think you have the

751
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: best defense of it? I'm gonna take think out of it.

752
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 2: You take think out of while you know you're the

753
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: best defense.

754
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, look, look I'm gonna leave it Tea like this. Right,

755
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 3: the game is based off numbers. It'll never changed. Right,

756
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: what that defense done in that year will never be

757
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: repeated ever again. Right, we gave her, We gave up.

758
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: This is in one game running back to running for

759
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 3: two hundred yards three hundred yards. Teams are running for

760
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: four hundred yards. Right that entire year, we gave up

761
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: nine hundred and sixty yards total. We gave up less

762
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: than ten points a game, nine point six, nine point six.

763
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: We had five shutouts. We went five weeks without scoring

764
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: an offensive touchdown and one and one three out of

765
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 3: those five. And we get into the playoffs. And this

766
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 3: is the stat that I I'm telling you, like, if

767
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: you want to crown the greatest, we went into the

768
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: playoffs and we gave up one touchdown the entire playoffs.
