So the first thing that we're 75 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 5: going to talk about, you know, we changed the game 76 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 5: last year. Shout out to our CPA, Miss Business. We 77 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 5: did a dope episode and she spoke about, uh, you know, 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 5: the six thousand pound rule and uh after that that 79 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 5: just went viral. Everybody who's talking about the six thousand 80 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 5: pounds rule and how you can deduct that. So if 81 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 5: you're not familiar with the six thousand pound rule, it 82 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 5: was a rule put in place really, you know, they 83 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 5: used to call it the SUV rule, where you know, 84 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 5: you can take a deduction if you purchase a vehicle 85 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 5: over six thousand pounds and obviously, you know vehicles over 86 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 5: six thousand pounds, trucks, SUVs, things of that nature. So 87 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 5: you know, you're talking about the end of the year 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 5: tax planning and that's something that you know, kind of common, but. 89 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: They thought it was just stunning with the Rangers. 90 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, so but we're gonna we're gonna bring it full 91 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 5: circus with this one because we are utilizing that one again, 92 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 5: but this time it's a little different. So just to 93 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 5: kind of give you some idea of how that the 94 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 5: six thousand pounds will work. So vehicles over six thousand pounds, 95 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 5: you can deduct up to twenty five thousand dollars in 96 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 5: the year that you actually purchased the vehicle. So you know, 97 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 5: you buy one hundred thousand dollars car, one hundred thousand 98 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 5: dollars car in cash, Now you can deduct twenty five 99 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 5: thousand dollars, but it has to be for business use. 100 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 5: That's extremely important. So you could look at that and 101 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 5: say that's the only twenty five thousand, like, you know, 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 5: what about the other seventy five thousand. So there's a 103 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 5: couple of different ways how you can get the full 104 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 5: one hundred percent deduction. So a you can finance the car. 105 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 5: So if you finance the car, you're paying like monthly payments, 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 5: then you can spread that out and the deduction carries 107 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 5: with you for twenty four months. So that's one way 108 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 5: to not pay for it all up in front, actually 109 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 5: finance it which obviously you're paying a lot lower on 110 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 5: the monthly side, and then you can you can take 111 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 5: those deductions over the course of twenty four months. But 112 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 5: there's an exemptions. There's a few exemptions to the rule 113 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 5: where you can get one hundred percent. Yeah, there's a 114 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 5: few exempts to the rule where you can get one 115 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 5: hundred percent deduction in the year that you actually purchased this. 116 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 5: So one is a pickup truck, another is a delivery vehicle. 117 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 5: Another one is a shuttle van, which is nine passengers 118 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 5: but behind the driver. 119 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 3: It was very key that y'all know that the driver 120 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: cannot have access to the roll behind them. 121 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: It has to be separate. 122 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, So the shuttle van is interesting for us, and 123 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 5: this is something that this is what we're going to 124 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 5: focus on for this conversation. The shuttle by the shuttle 125 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 5: van is so interesting for us is that you know, 126 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 5: shot to Atlanta. You know, we spent a lot a 127 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 5: lot of time in Atlanta and shot to everybody that 128 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 5: was that invest fest, and you know, when we was 129 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 5: out and invest fast, and you know, you got to 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 5: start to move around a little differently after a certain 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 5: amount of time, Like you know, when you reach a 132 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 5: certain level whe people might know you, or you reach 133 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 5: a certain level of you got a lot of people 134 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 5: that travel with you.

So now we got turned on to the 167 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 5: sprint events. So fortunately for us, we had a pretty 168 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 5: decent year financially. So we're at the end of the 169 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 5: year and we're like, all right, we got to figure out, 170 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 5: you know, how to get you know, some tax deductions, 171 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 5: how to save money on taxes, because it's like if 172 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 5: not if you just take the money and cast you 173 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 5: want to pay taxes on it. So we come up 174 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 5: with the idea of you know what if we buy 175 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 5: a sprinter. 176 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 177 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: Well, and and so the idea wasn't a new idea 178 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: because last year we did it when we got our 179 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: eighteen wheeler. Well, that was different situation to be a 180 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: different situation, and obviously we've seen it with the cars. 181 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: So it was like, all right, well we have the 182 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: mindset to say, all right, this is another way that 183 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 3: we can appreciate our income. All right, let's go this route. 184 00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So we just we ain't 185 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: we invented wheel. We just added an adjustment to it. 186 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, the eighteen wheel is another way to go. We 187 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 5: did that last year. So it's like, all right, this year, 188 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 5: let's invest in a sprint event. So the sprint event 189 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: makes sense for us for a few different reasons. A. 190 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 5: Like I said, we're in Atlanta all the time, So 191 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 5: now we actually have a vehicle in Atlanta. Every time 192 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 5: that we go to Atlanta, we can move around how 193 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 5: we want to move around. B. If you see what 194 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 5: we did with the eighteen wheeler, probably the best part 195 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 5: of that whole situation is the promo, Like we put 196 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 5: we put eyl University on the side, we put Ni 197 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 5: Lesion on one side, and we put our emojis on 198 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 5: the back. And the eighteen wheeler travels all across the country. 199 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 5: So now it's become kind of like an urban legend 200 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 5: where you see it in Mississippi, you see it in Texas, 201 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 5: you see it in Oklahoma. And California, every everywhere all 202 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 5: over the country. You see the Arnalisia eighteen wheeler on 203 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 5: the highway. So it's great, so moving billboard. So we said, 204 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 5: all right, we're gonna be in Atlanta a lot, why 205 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 5: don't we buy a sprint event where it can give 206 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 5: us transportation, but then also we can put our logos 207 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 5: on it. It's moving billboard once again in one of 208 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 5: our biggest markets. You know, is something that people see 209 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 5: on the road and it's oh or in Alesia. That's 210 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: a vibe. That's one Our merch is based in Atlanta also, 211 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 5: so you know, as the merch grows, I want talk 212 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 5: about the merch later on. As the merch grows, we 213 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 5: need transportation for the merch for different events, to get 214 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 5: it to the warehouse, to get it from the warehouse 215 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: to you know, all of this different stuff. So it's like, 216 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 5: all right, now the sprinting can actually serve as a 217 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: transportation for the merch also, so now you count a 218 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 5: few birds with one stone. And then we get the 219 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 5: bright idea that even when we're not there, we can 220 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 5: make an experience and actually rent it out to other 221 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 5: people that might need sprinter vans. And now you know, 222 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 5: we have built a following and have built you know, 223 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 5: loyal support, So people might want to you know, rent 224 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 5: out the earn Alesia van when they're in Atlanta as 225 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: opposed to just a regular sprinter. Why not. 226 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: We've heard so much information, right, We sat down with 227 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: Matty j. He talked about the Touro play. We rent 228 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: sprinters every time. It was just like, it makes perfect 229 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 3: sense and sense right, rather than just having a van 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: that can transport us, let's let the people use it. 231 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 3: And by the time that people rented, let's say it 232 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: gets rented two to three times in a month, the 233 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: van pays for itself. 234 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 5: The van definitely pays for self. And then when we 235 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 5: get one hundred percent tax deduction because it's over six 236 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 5: thousand pounds and it's one of those exemptions, so now 237 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 5: we can pay was it like one hundred thousand dollars 238 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 5: something like that for the van. 239 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't even matter the price. I think the 240 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 3: one we're going to do is going to be a 241 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: little bit over that because we're going to customize it. 242 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 5: Well, I'm trying to figure I'm trying to give a 243 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 5: gage of how much we're going to pay for it. 244 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 5: Fifty all right, So we pay one hundred and fifty 245 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 5: thousand dollars. So that's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 246 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 5: tax deduction because we'll pay for it in cash. So 247 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 5: we get one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I'm just 248 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 5: being honest. So you get we get one hundred and 249 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 5: fifty thousand dollars deduction. Right, save money on our taxes. 250 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 5: We get promo, we get travel when we're around, we 251 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 5: get our transportation for our merch and we can get 252 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 5: some income by renting it out. Now we're providing a service. 253 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 5: It's going to be top of the line. It's going 254 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 5: to be super dope because we're going to be traveling it. 255 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 5: So we're not going to compromise the integrity at the vent. 256 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 5: So now you know you can support black business and 257 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 5: ride in luxury in a in a sprinter if you 258 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 5: want to go to you know, prom if you want 259 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 5: to if you're in town to go to a Falcons game, 260 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 5: if you whatever you want to do. You know, we 261 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 5: have a we have a service now that we can 262 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 5: provide for people. And so when went across. 263 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: The board, ye, and then we get the bright idea 264 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 3: that hey, we're in Atlanta a lot, but we live 265 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 3: here in New York and we move around New York 266 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: a lot to events, and so rather than getting one, 267 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: why don't we try to get two? 268 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: Right, And so we have a. 269 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: Few businesses that we run, and so we're like, all right, well, 270 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: let's get one in this business name and let's get 271 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 3: one in the other. So in New York, it makes 272 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 3: sense from a logistical standpoint. We have a vending machine company, right, 273 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 3: we have to supply a lot of food and drinks 274 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: that go into the business. Rather than put it in 275 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 3: somebody's truck or put in somebody's car, we now have 276 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 3: a sprinter that could transport it back and forth during 277 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: for the vending machines. And again when we move around 278 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: the city or we move to the airports, we have 279 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: transportation rather than paying for ubers, which are like one 280 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars every trip we go to the airport. 281 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: And y'all know that we travel a lot, so that 282 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: adds up. 283 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 3: In addition to that, now we also have a service, 284 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 3: like when Shi was talking about, we have a rental 285 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: service for that sprinner. Obviously, again it's going to be 286 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: top of the line. So we'll be available for proms 287 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 3: and what all these type of events. We now have 288 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: an income source from a van. That was really a 289 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 3: necessity for us because we had to transport our merchandise 290 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: in Atlanta and we had to transport our food and 291 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: beverage in New York. Now it makes sense to have 292 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: both of them, and again we're writing off both. 293 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know, it's one of these things like 294 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: I saw a fifty cent a few years ago. He 295 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 5: brought a Lamborghini, has a tax right off. I'm not 296 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 5: sure how that worked out as a business expense, but 297 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 5: you know, it's one of these things. You know, everybody's 298 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 5: just you just whatever's right for you. For us, instead 299 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 5: of you know, buying something that we have personal enjoyment 300 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 5: out of. And you know, we could have did that route, 301 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 5: but it's like I right, you know, it makes more 302 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 5: sense to actually buy something that really has a real 303 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 5: business use, that can actually make money at the same time, 304 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 5: and it's gonna, you know, be good for the entire company, 305 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 5: not just like me just buying a Ferrari and Troy 306 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 5: just buying a Lamborghini and whatever. You know, that's cool, 307 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 5: but you know, you felt like reinvesting the money in 308 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: the business was actually something that would be more practical, 309 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 5: more beneficial, and something that could actually be more justifiable 310 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 5: in the long term. So I say, I have to 311 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 5: say in your business, this is something that you know 312 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 5: you could take advantage of as well as far as 313 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: you know. Obviously you know the eighteen wheel of the trucks, 314 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 5: that's something that's very big. But you know, pickup trucks 315 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 5: are real big too in the South, and things of 316 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 5: that nature. So you know, if you're using it for business. 317 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: They need to know the actual logistics on the pickup truck. 318 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 3: I think it has the better The pickup truck has 319 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: to be six feet for to qualify. 320 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 5: So yeah, it's just like little yeah caveats, you know, 321 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,359 Speaker 5: make sure you do your research on it. But but yeah, 322 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 5: and you know delivery vehicles if you have a business 323 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 5: that you know you have deliveries and things of that nature. 324 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 5: So sometimes people are just buying these stuff without even 325 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 5: realizing that they can actually take a deduction, and they 326 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 5: don't they don't even benefit from it. So the name 327 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 5: of the game is just to learn as much as 328 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 5: you possibly get and play the game the most efficiently 329 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 5: way as possible.

Like 371 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 5: out of just start trying to save money on taxes, 372 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 5: actually a whole new business is created. Where you know, 373 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 5: now we employ somebody, so now somebody has a job 374 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 5: to be a driver. We get a tax deduction for 375 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 5: you know, providing employment for somebody. That's another tax deduction 376 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 5: is actually paying somebody's salary. And now who knows, this 377 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 5: might turned into a whole fleet of sprint events, and 378 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 5: you know, it might be you know, a multi million 379 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 5: dollar company in a couple of years. Like you know, 380 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 5: so out of one necessity to save money, actually ended 381 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 5: up you know, starting a whole business. And we'll see 382 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 5: how that goes. 383 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 2: Keep you up to date, you'll see it out there. 384 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: It'll become like the trust like take a picture of 385 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: it as it passes you. 386 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that that's one of the 387 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 5: things that people have, you know, come to love about 388 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 5: us is that you know, we're learning on real time 389 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 5: and we actually are executing on these things in real time. 390 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 5: So it's not like really just like you know, we 391 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 5: in the classroom just speaking about stuff. Stuff might work out, 392 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 5: some stuff might not work out. But you know, the 393 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 5: whole point of business is that nothing is ever guaranteed. 394 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 5: You got to try it. And as we try new stuff, 395 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 5: as we implement new businesses, we keep you up to 396 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 5: date that you know what's going on, give you information 397 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 5: and then you can run the same play yourself. 398 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 2: That's what this is for. 399 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 3: Like I said, as we learn, we're gonna teach another 400 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 3: little thing about the six thousand pound rule. 401 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 2: Obviously, you have to have. 402 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 3: It in your business name if you want to do 403 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: it as a write off. But you have to make 404 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 3: the payments in the business name too, right, So that's 405 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: something that y'all need to know, like make sure that 406 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: you're making payments in the business name. Also also and 407 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: this is key, to make sure that when you fuel 408 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 3: the vehicle, right when you fuel the vehicle, make sure 409 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 3: you use the business card or you have a business 410 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 3: credit card an account that tracks the gas because all 411 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: transactions need to happen in the business. 412 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: So that's just another little caveat. 413 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, and the gas and all that is right offs 414 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 5: also exactly and just once again and just have to 415 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 5: be used for business usage. I think like if you 416 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 5: use the for like fifty percent of business time, then 417 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 5: you can deduct fifty percent. But if it's one hundred percent, 418 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 5: like this is gonna be one hundred percent used for business, 419 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 5: then it's one hundred We take one hundred percent production. 420 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 5: So there you have it. That's the six thousand pound 421 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 5: rule that we're gonna be using for this year. 422 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: Man. 423 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see what happens. So the next the next day, 424 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 5: now we're gonna talk about the Augusta. 425 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 3: The Augusta rule, the Augusta rule. This is a big 426 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: this is a big one. And shout out to our CPA. 427 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 3: Shot them. It's been disciplined us on game. But the Augusta. 428 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 3: When I heard the word Augusta, especially like sportsman asks, 429 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 3: the first thing we think is like Augusta the golf. 430 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: That's what the Masters is at. 431 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 3: And it's interesting because that's my first thought, and that's 432 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 3: how the rule actually came to be. So the Augusta 433 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: Rule was created because people who lived around the Masters 434 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: wanted to rent their homes to patrons who would come 435 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: in to watch the Masters. And over time they had to, 436 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 3: you know, as they got rental income for having people come, 437 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 3: they had to put on their taxes. And they thought 438 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 3: it just wasn't fair, and so they lobbied and a 439 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: rule was passed called the august Rule. 440 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna read exactly what it is. I'm gonna 441 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: tell you how this can benefit you. 442 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: So the August rule let's homeowners rent their home for 443 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 3: up to fourteen days per year. That's key, fourteen days 444 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 3: per year without needing to report that rental income on 445 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 3: their individual tax return. So this rule applies to any 446 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 3: taxpayer who owns a home in the United States as 447 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 3: long as your home is not your primary place of business. Right, 448 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 3: so you must have a use case for it. How 449 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 3: does that work. I'm going to give you prime example. 450 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to use us. Can we use us? 451 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: Let's use us? All right? 452 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: So earn Leisure is a business. Right, that is our business. 453 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 3: Shout out to our partner, Mike, that is our business. 454 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: I am a homeowner, right, So those two things we 455 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: automatically qualify for. We got a business. I'm a howner. 456 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 3: Earn Leisure's primary address is not this address. It's a 457 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 3: different address, right. And so what that allows us for 458 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: me to do is say, Okay, as a homeowner, I 459 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: have a space in my home that I can use 460 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: as a studio for my business. So what does that mean. 461 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: That means that I'm providing a service by having a location, 462 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 3: the cameras, the electricity, the TV, all everything that goes 463 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: into the studio space is going to be rented by 464 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 3: earnal Leisure. Why does that help because when we have 465 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 3: to think of deductions, Right, if I rent out this 466 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 3: space to the business, now, that lowers the income that 467 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: the business has taken in. And so here's the key. 468 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 3: You have to make sure it's only fourteen days throughout 469 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: the year, and you have to make sure that the 470 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: rental price is something that's tangible. So where would you 471 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 3: find out how much to rent a space? Well, Airbnb 472 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: is a perfect place to find out how much something 473 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: that's twelve hundred square feet would cost. Then you add 474 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: into the cost of equipment, right, So if we use 475 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 3: four thousand dollars cameras, we might have three of them. 476 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: Right. 477 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: If I have to put into lighting, all those things 478 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 3: add up, I can charge that to the business. Right, 479 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 3: So I write an invoice to my business, Right, they 480 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: pay it. I don't have to report it on my 481 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: tax return. 482 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: Makes sense, all right? 483 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 3: So a couple of things we got to just reiterate, right, 484 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: So the business address cannot be the primary address, right, 485 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 3: So I said, aren't your leader's business address. 486 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 2: Is not this one? 487 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: So that makes it a qualifying event, all right? And 488 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 3: then we have to keep records of it. So we 489 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 3: record sometimes here, but we live on the road, right, 490 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 3: so we might go to la we might go to 491 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 3: Atlanta were what ever? 492 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 2: I mean, our studio travels. That's the beauty about what 493 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 2: we do. 494 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: We can be in Miami and record, right, So have 495 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: we recorded fourteen days in this studio. 496 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 497 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 3: Let's say that I charge the business one thousand dollars 498 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: a day to rent, right, So that's fourteen thousand dollars, right, 499 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: So fourteen times one thousand, fourteen thousand dollars I can 500 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 3: write off. The business can write off because it is 501 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 3: an expense, right, they're renting the studio. But that's not 502 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: the only thing, right, So we have a few businesses, right, 503 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 3: We have Earnier Leisure, we have English University. We could 504 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 3: do the same thing for Nualigue University with a homeowner 505 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: from the business. Right, So they have a home and 506 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: they rent the studio like we do in Atlanta. When 507 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: we travel to Atlanta and we take there again, we're 508 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: rented the studio. So Eyo University can rent the studio. 509 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 3: We can charge another thousand dollars and so now we 510 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: have another fourteen thousand dollars that we can write off 511 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: for one business and fourteen thousand that we can write 512 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 3: off for another the other business. 513 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: And so these are some deductions. 514 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: Now you're adding these things up, right, we're looking at 515 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: the sprinters, we're looking at the Custo rule, we're taking 516 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: advantage of it. We're finding the ductions. And so if 517 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: you anyone is in the game of podcasting or doing 518 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: video recording in your home, right, number one thing is 519 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 3: that it can't be a sole partnered LLC. It has 520 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,959 Speaker 3: to be a C corp or an escort. Right, you 521 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: can't be renting it to yourself. Why does earn your 522 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: leisure work? Because I don't solely own the business. I 523 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 3: have two partners with me, and so it makes sense 524 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: that we can do it. Think about that, right for 525 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 3: not just Augusta, but like how many sports sounds like 526 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: we went to Michigan this year, Right, the entire city 527 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 3: of an Arber is based. 528 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: Around Michigan football pretty much. 529 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: When we had to park, we have to pay one 530 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: hundred dollars to park in somebody's grass. Right, they're not 531 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: writing that off on their tax returns because they're saying, 532 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 3: all right, how many home games do they have a year? 533 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 3: Probably like seven. So imagine if they get like ten 534 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 3: cars to pay one hundred dollars, that's one thousand dollars 535 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 3: every Saturday. They got seven or eight SATs six or 536 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 3: seven satus seven grand.

There's only a couple of days 658 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 5: out the month. So peer space is something that everybody 659 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 5: needs to be aware of too, because that's another avenue 660 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 5: and it works just like Airbnb as far as you know, 661 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 5: go on there and the list of property, take pictures, 662 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 5: stuff like that. But it's just you know, it's a 663 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 5: lot less time as opposed to the Airbnb, where you know, 664 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 5: two three days, you just got two three hours with 665 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 5: the pair space. 666 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So I mean these are gems, man, these 667 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 3: are gems. And like I said, this is the time 668 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 3: of the year where people could be looking at it. 669 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 3: But again, make sure you record and the best way 670 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: to find a record of what you've done. For us, 671 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 3: it's simple, right, we can go to YouTube and see like, 672 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: hey we did this episode this day. It's already tracked 673 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: my iPad. But we've documented everything we've done, so it 674 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 3: makes it very easy. So I would suggest everybody make 675 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: sure that you document your process, make sure you have 676 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: your dates in line, make sure you send those invoices correctly. Again, 677 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 3: the August thro a couple of things just to remember, right, 678 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,239 Speaker 3: it has to be fourteen days so or people. If 679 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 3: you look at the law, they'll say under fifteen So 680 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 3: fourteen days. Someone has to own a home. And you 681 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 3: have to have a business, not just you a soul LC. 682 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 3: You have to have partners, you have to ask help 683 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 3: or see cool. You have to have those things in 684 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: order for this Segust rule to work. I think it's 685 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: a great rule. I'm not sure, do we notice not yet? 686 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: Sure we should have? 687 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 5: Yeah? 688 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: Has been the stuff? 689 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: Yes, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.

All right, 691 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 5: So I told you this is going to be nostalgic 692 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 5: and part of that nostalgia was actually my favorite part 693 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 5: of the show. When we first started, it was a 694 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 5: segment that we had called Storytime. Storytime was a time 695 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 5: that we used to do like case studies into interesting 696 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 5: subjects and pop culture related to business, and we used 697 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 5: to just break down like different interesting little tibbets and 698 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 5: kind of break it down and explain, you know, it 699 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 5: in detail and you know, bring it back to how 700 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 5: it's relevant to you know, business and stuff that you 701 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 5: can learn from. 702 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: Its fun. 703 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, remember we came up with the idea and then 704 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 3: trying to create a segment for it.

So but you know, 829 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 5: that's one of the things where it's like he had 830 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 5: the foresight and his advisors had the foresight to put 831 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 5: that together and have eight hundred thousand dollars a year. 832 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 5: He's still getting paid eight hundred thousand dollars a year. 833 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 5: So it's like, even if you blow everything, you know, 834 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 5: you still, at the very least you're gonna have almost 835 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 5: a million dollars when you wake up. 836 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 3: You're still putting out the shoe, like they're putting up 837 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,760 Speaker 3: limited editions of the shoe. I think this year's addition 838 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 3: is going to be an ode to the ninety six 839 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 3: draft class. So everybody in the lottery, a color from 840 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 3: their team. 841 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 2: Is going to be on the new shoe. 842 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 5: Yeah. But another probably even better than that, is he 843 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 5: has a thirty two million dollar trust that he can't 844 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 5: access until he turns fifty five. To believe, that's year 845 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 5: twenty thirty. So when he turns fifty five, he has 846 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 5: thirty two million dollars in the trust from Reebok. So 847 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 5: you know, that was a you know what we call 848 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 5: in the insurance world idea the third annuity, the thurred 849 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 5: income annuity where you put you know, a set amount 850 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 5: of money away and it grows over the period of time. 851 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 5: It's of like a lock up period and you can't 852 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 5: actually have access to it until a certain period of time. 853 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 5: And then when you do have access, now you can 854 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 5: choose different ways how you can choose, but most people 855 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 5: choose like another lifelong payout where it's like I to 856 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 5: do a calculation based off of your age and now, 857 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 5: you know, let's say that thirty two million will equate 858 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 5: to you know, one point five million dollars for the 859 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 5: rest of your life. Somebody else who had, you know, 860 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 5: a similar type of contract like that, the legendary Bobby Bonia. 861 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 5: We've covered that story, Bobby Vode. Yeah, for sure, Bobby 862 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 5: Bonia another one that had that insight. So it's like, 863 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 5: you know, that is tremendous insight. Like I said of 864 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 5: on his advisors, whoever set that up form definitely, you know, great, 865 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 5: great insight. Whereas Okay, you might have had some financial troubles. 866 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 5: You might have you know, might have not made the 867 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 5: best decisions financially, but a you still have a salary 868 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 5: every year pretty much of eight hundred thousand dollars, but 869 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 5: even bigger than that, you got thirty two million that's 870 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 5: waiting for you when you turn fifty five, like at 871 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 5: the age when you probably needed the most. Actually, and 872 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 5: now that's that's a deferred annuity, that's you know, growing 873 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 5: over the course of time, and that's just going to 874 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 5: set you up for the rest of your life. 875 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the division, I mean the person. Obviously, 876 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 3: the devises, everybody obviously probably looked at his financial statements 877 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 3: going up until that point and said, let's protect him. 878 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 3: Let's put these barriers in place to protect him. 879 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 2: So that Annuel Sally, I. 880 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 5: Know, it probably wasn't even rebod though it's probably outside. 881 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm thinking like eight hundred thousand. 882 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 3: At that time, when he's making a couple million, probably 883 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 3: almost nearly every two or three games, it didn't feel 884 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 3: like a lot. But when you stopped playing and life 885 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 3: stoles down for you a little bit, the endorsement deals 886 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 3: that you used to get slow down a little bit. 887 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 3: To have the eight hundred is like, all right, bet, 888 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 3: I don't even have to play ball. I don't have 889 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 3: to like I could just chill somewhere and collect eight hundred. Yeah, 890 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 3: that's incredible. 891 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 2: So the thirty two million that grows over the time, 892 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 2: how does that work? 893 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 5: Well, that's what it's projected to be it's projected be. Yeah, 894 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 5: it might it might have put in, you know, fifteen million. 895 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 5: Whenever they started, it might have been ten million. So 896 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 5: it's invested over a period of time and now at 897 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 5: that period of time, that's what it will be. At 898 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 5: that period of time, it could be on This episode 899 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 5: is brought to you by Pepsi. I remember going to 900 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 5: an HBCU football game. It was one of the most 901 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 5: memorable experiences of my life. Watching an HBCU's team and 902 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 5: band brings so much excitement to the stadium, completely packed 903 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 5: with fans. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. The 904 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 5: best part about it is that Pepsi is a proud 905 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 5: supporter of HBCU students on and off the field. Pepsi 906 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 5: in HBCUs that's what I like. Well, so it's based 907 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 5: off an actuary, so yeah, it could be more, depending 908 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 5: but you know, for most of the time, like it'll 909 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 5: it'll be a set number based off of a calculation. 910 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 5: So it'll be let's say, and that's why it's done 911 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 5: on like on an annuity schedule. So if it's a 912 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 5: ten million and let's say it's invested, you know, and 913 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 5: it's earning six percent, but the annuity calculation is four percent, 914 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 5: so they're going to guarantee the four percent. So now 915 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 5: it's like, all right, guaranteeing you that at this point 916 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 5: in time. And that's why most of the time you 917 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 5: take it off of an income. So it's kind of 918 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 5: like how a pension works for that make it its 919 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,919 Speaker 5: easy to understand as possible because most people can wrap 920 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 5: their heads around a pension. So you know, if you 921 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 5: work a pension, it's like, all right, if you work 922 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 5: this amount of years, you get a percentage of your salary. 923 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 5: So that's how they can say, okay, in ten years, 924 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 5: you're going to have a million dollars in your pension. 925 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 926 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 3: I think like in the teacher world, they take the 927 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 3: average of your last three and they give you like 928 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 3: sixty seven percent of that or something like that. 929 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 5: But the deferd annuity is something that anybody can really do. 930 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 5: It defert annuity idea, and there's something that you can 931 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 5: do if you especially if you have a lump sum 932 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 5: of money at a young age. So a lot of 933 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 5: athletes are entertainers, right, so this is something that athletes 934 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 5: can can use as a strategy outside of a company. 935 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 5: You can do it yourself. So if you sign you know, 936 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 5: ten million dollar you know, signing bonus, if you're in 937 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 5: the NFL, like, you can take two million dollars and 938 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 5: just put it in the dea and just have it 939 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 5: just sitting for fifteen twenty years, growing over the course 940 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 5: of time, and then when it's time and take it. 941 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 5: Now you might have you know, fifteen million dollars that 942 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 5: you're just drawing a lifetime income off of. So that's 943 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 5: that's the strategy that you know, you can use over 944 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 5: the course of time as a safe way. And especially 945 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 5: like if you don't really trust yourself and say, I 946 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 5: ain't even worrying about this. I'm just going to lock 947 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 5: it up, give it to the insurance company. It's going 948 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 5: to grow by the time I turn fifty. Now I'm 949 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 5: going to start taking money. And now that's something that 950 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 5: you just set yourself up for life and you don't 951 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 5: even have to worry about it. Not just athletes, but 952 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 5: I just use athletes because you know, they get lump 953 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 5: sums of money. They get a large amount of money 954 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 5: when they're young. But anybody that comes into you know, 955 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 5: good fortune, if you know, yeah, that's it. That's the entrepreneurs. 956 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 5: If you get a win fall of money, you know 957 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 5: early on, and you're not sure what to do with it, 958 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 5: you might want to take a portion of that, put 959 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 5: it in the dea, let it grow over the course 960 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 5: of time. Now you set yourself up for a lifetime income. 961 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm thinking two things as you're speaking, right, Like 962 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 3: the last part of what you just said, like, if 963 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 3: we don't know what. 964 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 2: To do with it, well we know what happens. 965 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 3: Well we don't know what to do with it, we 966 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 3: spend it all right, And I'm thinking the other part 967 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 3: is like, yeah, AI did this deal in two thousand 968 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 3: and one. How many athletes has he come in contact with? Go? 969 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 3: Or I've heard about this deal that haven't taken advantage 970 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 3: of it, right, Like you don't you hear a guy story, 971 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 3: but you don't hear anybody else that's doing this. Right, 972 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 3: this makes perfect sense, man, Like y'all gonna you're gonna 973 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 3: be older a lot longer than you're gonna be younger, 974 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 3: And especially some of these guys where an injury can 975 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 3: change your financial trajectory that quick, or some a life 976 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 3: incident could change your lifetime trajectory of income. It's like, yeah, 977 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 3: you should be planning. This is gonna change the game. 978 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna you change the game. 979 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,240 Speaker 5: Just now, probably at the studio and change the game again. 980 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 5: So shout out to AI Bubba Chuck.

And you know, 994 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 5: when we talk about fashion more so than we're going 995 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 5: to get to the business behind it. And you know, 996 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 5: it's obviously something that you know can generate revenue for you. 997 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 5: But for us, we look at fashion it's a way, 998 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 5: it's like art. It's a way to make a statement, 999 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 5: it's a way to you know, reflect you know who 1000 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 5: you want the world to see you as you know, 1001 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,479 Speaker 5: it's the first thing people see is what you're wearing. 1002 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 5: And you know, shout to Griselda first and foremost. And 1003 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 5: you know, our short inseration from a lot of different people, 1004 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 5: so you know, definitely inspired by a West Side gun 1005 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 5: and you know his his fashion mind as far as 1006 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 5: you know their drops that they do and things of 1007 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 5: that nature. And one thing that really caught my mind 1008 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 5: was when they you know, the original they originally started 1009 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 5: as a fashion company and Grisel the Fashion Rebels or 1010 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 5: even their drops to this day is Grisel the Fashion 1011 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 5: Rebels and that really, you know, resonated with me so 1012 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 5: kind of like you know, borrowed that and took the 1013 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 5: E y L Fashion Rebels. And you know, the reason 1014 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 5: why we say fashion rebels to me, my interpretation of 1015 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 5: why we say fashion rebels is, you know, we see 1016 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,720 Speaker 5: a lot of people in the space and just in general, 1017 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 5: you know, get money and they validate their success by 1018 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 5: buying Balenciaga, by buying Gucci, buying Louis Vuitton, buying all 1019 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 5: these European designers that you know, a we know that 1020 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 5: they never cared about us anyway and then be you know, 1021 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 5: you're spending all this money. Half of the stuff doesn't 1022 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 5: even look that good. In my opinion, it's off the rack, 1023 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 5: so it doesn't even really even fit you that well. 1024 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 5: So it was like for us, you know, when we 1025 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 5: reached a certain level of success, it's like we always 1026 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 5: love fashion our whole lives. So instead of you know, 1027 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 5: buying all of these designers and giving them free promotion, 1028 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 5: we figured, all right, we just promote our own brand, 1029 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 5: but just on the next on a higher level. And 1030 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 5: so we teamed that we might be and we just 1031 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 5: got a bunch of just custom made clothes, custom made clothes, 1032 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 5: EYL university, EYL logos on it. And it was all 1033 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 5: inspired from like, you know, that nineties era of you know, 1034 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 5: that hustler era, that hip hop. You know, that was 1035 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 5: stuff that we kind of grew up in. So when 1036 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 5: you see us with the the law suits and the 1037 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 5: army fatigue jackets and different things of that nature, it's 1038 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 5: just kind of, you know, brings it back to the 1039 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 5: throwback jersey era things of that nature. 1040 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I mean we get to live through nostalgia, 1041 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 3: Like we watched Bad Boy in the moments, right so 1042 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 3: like we recreated it for this generation. But I want 1043 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 3: to harp on the fact that the might be situation 1044 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 3: because we could have went anywhere, but might be is 1045 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 3: a legend where we from shout out to everybody in Greenborough. 1046 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 3: Our Bolguard is a brand and he's from our neighborhood. 1047 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 3: So rather than choosing some random designer, we went back 1048 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 3: home and chose a dope designer from our neighborhood, a 1049 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 3: black owned designer, to create our clothes. And so now 1050 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 3: we stimulate his economy. He stimulates our economy and he 1051 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 3: makes us look fly. And so when we talk about 1052 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 3: support each other, like we really mean that, Like we 1053 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 3: could have went anywhere, We say, yo, were staying at home, 1054 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 3: and we're gonna grow this line. And now the public 1055 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 3: gets to see it and they're like, yo, where are 1056 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,720 Speaker 3: y'all getting these clothes? And so people from the nineties 1057 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 3: that were in that bad Boy era know that might 1058 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 3: comes from from the bad Boy team, but they're like, oh, 1059 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 3: he's bringing that back. And so I told the goal 1060 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 3: is like I want puffed to be like y'all want 1061 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 3: one of them? Sure, I want I want that leather 1062 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 3: jersey that you had that you had on like that 1063 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 3: was my thing. I was just like, yo, that time 1064 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 3: era influenced me so much and I'm sure influenced you 1065 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 3: so much. It was like, YO, were just paying howmu 1066 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 3: cities guys the best way we know how on Weather's 1067 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 3: telling through their business stories and given information. 1068 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 2: But also in fashion, like you said, it's a way 1069 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 2: to express ourselves. So just part of us. If we're 1070 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 2: getting fresh on y'all. We don't mean no harm. 1071 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, we changed the game. We definitely changed the game. 1072 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 5: And I see, you know, a switch in people making 1073 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 5: their own clothes and things that nature. As far as 1074 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 5: you know, in our space, ob people has always made 1075 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 5: their own clothes. But you know, in our space, you 1076 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 5: know people you know, moving away from buying design and clothes. 1077 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 2: And if you do that, that's cool. 1078 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody teaches his own. But I'm just saying, you know, 1079 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 5: we definitely changed the game and that and that's dope 1080 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 5: to see people following that trend and coming out with 1081 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 5: their jerseys and their varsity jackets and things of that nature. 1082 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's another thing too. So like when 1083 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 3: we talk about people copying, like we said that like 1084 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 3: in school was found upon business it's you. You thrive 1085 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 3: because you copy. And my thing is like, yeah, if 1086 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,320 Speaker 3: people are going to just Jack, that's no, it's not 1087 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,359 Speaker 3: cool the original right, like that point, But let's let's 1088 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 3: be creative and let's inspire people to do more. And 1089 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 3: so like we want to be inspired too, you know 1090 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So like when we do things, we 1091 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 3: don't do things like oh hey we're doing this for ourselves. Now, 1092 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 3: we're doing it to help inspire other people's visions. Right, 1093 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 3: So when, like I said, when you see us go 1094 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 3: to Nigeria, I want to see people do that. I 1095 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 3: want to see people go to Egypt. I want to 1096 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 3: see people highlighting black businesses. I want to see them 1097 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 3: finding black designers to work with. Like, those are the 1098 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 3: things that we should be copying, you know what I'm saying. So, 1099 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 3: like I'm cool with the if you go on Jack 1100 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,839 Speaker 3: but Jack, those things strack. Those attributes that we're doing 1101 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 3: support everybody. 1102 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1103 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,800 Speaker 5: So, so as far as the business side of it, 1104 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 5: you know, as you said before, we got a dope 1105 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,879 Speaker 5: episode on how to build a merged brand. Definitely check 1106 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 5: that out on our YouTube channel Spotify Apple give you 1107 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 5: like all the breakdowns of how to start all of 1108 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 5: our trials and fibulations. But you know, for us, the 1109 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 5: biggest thing for clothing for us is promotion, and there 1110 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 5: was a way to actually grow our brand early on. 1111 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,840 Speaker 5: As far as it's so crazy, Assets Overliability something that 1112 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 5: I came up with and like how I drew it. 1113 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 5: I wanted it draw in a certain way, and you know, 1114 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 5: it was something that I just thought really just solidified 1115 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 5: everything that we stood for. So we would you know, 1116 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 5: put it on merch t shirts and then that grew 1117 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 5: into hoodies and that grew into you know, now we 1118 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 5: have a show revoc or Assets over Liabilities. So now 1119 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 5: it's become just synonymous with us. So this is why, 1120 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 5: you know, branding yourself outside of just one thing is 1121 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 5: very big because now we don't have to say, earn 1122 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 5: your leads on every single thing, you know, Assets over liabilities. 1123 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,879 Speaker 5: Sometimes people will call us. I have heard people call 1124 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 5: us assets over liabilities. I think ROSS called like a 1125 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 5: few people. Yeah, like people they they've it's become so 1126 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 5: synonymous that people actually that's another name for us at 1127 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 5: this point, it's assets over liabilities. 1128 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 2: It's a conversation starting too, yeah, for. 1129 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 5: Sure, but it's definitely It's definitely a conversation started. E 1130 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 5: y L another one when people see us now it's Eyl. 1131 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 5: We probably get Eyl more than earn Alesia and Eyl 1132 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 5: is something that you know, once again going back to 1133 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 5: the fashion you see like the yssel and you see 1134 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 5: a lot of the fashion houses they have three letters 1135 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 5: as the you know, acronym. So being that we have 1136 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 5: early alisia, eyl just sounds really cool. So eyl. So 1137 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 5: you know, if you was at invest Fashal, so I 1138 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 5: had the Eyo soccer jersey, the EYL card against what 1139 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 5: the different things in that a lot of stuff is 1140 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 5: branded with EYL And then. 1141 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 3: What's going on earnest Look at twenty six, I made 1142 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,359 Speaker 3: one of the most important decisions of my life. 1143 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 2: That's right. 1144 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 3: I didn't have family at the time, but I did 1145 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 3: have a life insurance policy. A wise man told me 1146 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 3: life insurance isn't about the people who die, It's about 1147 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 3: the people who live. It's one of the best ways 1148 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 3: to secure generational wealth for your family's future. And it 1149 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,320 Speaker 3: makes perfect sense why people get life insurance, especially term coverage, 1150 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 3: which surprisingly is affordable. Why not pay a little bit 1151 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 3: each month to secure the future of the people you 1152 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 3: love long term.
