Speaker 1: What's up. Family, it's your girl to meeke A D. Mallory,
Speaker 1: it's your boy, my son in the general, and we
Speaker 1: are your host of street politicians, the place where the
Speaker 1: streets and politics meets. Lord, have mercy. I am tired.
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that I sleepy every
Speaker 1: day since we've had the last several weeks of daylight savings.
Speaker 1: My body is just it didn't it didn't work. It
Speaker 1: just sneaking. It'd be sneaking up daylight savings, just sneaking up.
Speaker 1: Or I didn't even realize it. The only reason I realized,
Speaker 1: women know, it's that that I never changed the time
Speaker 1: of my car from the last daylight savings. So now
Speaker 1: that was right. So I was like, I'm looking, I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait this time, I mean this time I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: be And I was like, it's working. Is matched my phone?
Speaker 1: Something wrong? So you was running around on you was
Speaker 1: looking at it knowing that it was an hour back
Speaker 1: exactly it was our earlier. So I was like, no,
Speaker 1: it should have been an hour back because then we
Speaker 1: go forward quickly. Oh so you're that was a long
Speaker 1: time ago, my son. I'm I'm like, okay, I guess.
Speaker 1: So that's how I found out. Shout out to camera man.
Speaker 1: But I feel like the last several weeks, I know
Speaker 1: something happened where I didn't get my full sleep because
Speaker 1: you know, I need four extra hours just to cover
Speaker 1: if I lose one hour because I loved a bed,
Speaker 1: that's my my bad. You know what, I can do
Speaker 1: anything from my bed. Let me just be clear. I
Speaker 1: have planned some of the most historic occasions in American
Speaker 1: history from my bed and lindas our sword, our partner.
Speaker 1: Until freedom is able to do the same. We can
Speaker 1: stay in our pajamas for the whole day and have
Speaker 1: an event completely planned or a whatever campaign and people
Speaker 1: can't touch us. I mean, listen, that's the skill set.
Speaker 1: I can't do it because I feel like if I'm
Speaker 1: in the bed, I'm losing. I'm missing out on something.
Speaker 1: I'm lazy. I feel like the most shiftless Negro in
Speaker 1: the world. So I got to get up and move around.
Speaker 1: My thoughts come from working out walking. The best ideas
Speaker 1: that I ever had was me either working out or
Speaker 1: just just walking around, and those have materialized into the
Speaker 1: best best things for me. So sleeping in the bed,
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I didn't say sleep, just
Speaker 1: being in the bed. I feel like claustrophobic in the
Speaker 1: bed for too long. It's like I got to get up,
Speaker 1: got the goat. Okay, Well that's that's That is definitely
Speaker 1: something that I see in men, a lot of men,
Speaker 1: particularly that it's like laying down all day. It's not
Speaker 1: My father doesn't lay down all day. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: My mom really never laid down all day either, but
Speaker 1: she sure will get her a few more hours, more
Speaker 1: more than my dad. So for all of you folks
Speaker 1: who are watching us um today you are watching pre
Speaker 1: record and listening. You're listening and watching a prerecorded show.
Speaker 1: We're running a series on money, money, money, money, money.
Speaker 1: We are talking about black folks and our money, and
Speaker 1: we are not about to let this crypto metaverse n
Speaker 1: f T world miss us. And so there are spaces
Speaker 1: where all people talk about is that. But we have
Speaker 1: folks like you who may be tuning in for political information.
Speaker 1: You may be tuning in for what's happening in the movement,
Speaker 1: and so we want to make sure we bring that
Speaker 1: world to this world so that we are on the
Speaker 1: cutting edge of wherever people are spending money and making
Speaker 1: money more importantly, um, and just making sure that our
Speaker 1: communities are up to speed, because we know that while
Speaker 1: our politics are important, it is equally important for us
Speaker 1: to know the politics of our money and to know
Speaker 1: what's happening in our society. And so with that being said,
Speaker 1: while we are traveling, you guys know that we are
Speaker 1: um on this pilgrimage, going on a pilgrimage. We are
Speaker 1: headed on a pilgrimage um to the continent of Africa,
Speaker 1: covering covering a few different areas. And while that's happening,
Speaker 1: we take these shows specifically so that folks would be
Speaker 1: you know, just into a series that from show to
Speaker 1: show you learn more and more and more and more.
Speaker 1: And hopefully today will be no different. Yes, it will
Speaker 1: be no different because we're trying to teach it because
Speaker 1: we're the number one and shut well, I'm trying to learn.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to but I already learn. You're not getting God.
Speaker 1: Here we go. I promise you all that by the
Speaker 1: end of this show, my son is going to believe
Speaker 1: that he is ready. The last Your Leisure show they
Speaker 1: put me on the path, I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: started doing my little studying I said, I might, I
Speaker 1: might get this. So I know Key's gonna drop something
Speaker 1: that's gonna push it over the level. But I know
Speaker 1: you're gonna push you to the next level for me.
Speaker 1: So as promised, we're keeping with this series of conversation
Speaker 1: on money, and we're talking to an incredible leader, one
Speaker 1: of the leading voices on UM or really not just
Speaker 1: finance for finance purposes, but really more so about how
Speaker 1: we as black people have to do a better job
Speaker 1: of pulling our resources of understanding these industries and you
Speaker 1: is in this one point four trillion dollars that we
Speaker 1: have at our disposal UM to really become self sustained.
Speaker 1: And um, I, you know, listen a lot to this brother.
Speaker 1: I know where he's our brother. We listened a lot
Speaker 1: to him and learned so much, and he really is
Speaker 1: one of the leading voices in this nation UM on
Speaker 1: the sustainability of black folks from a financial perspective. And
Speaker 1: so now, first of all, he was born in St. Louis.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. You know, he kind of acts
Speaker 1: like he was born in New York. But you know
Speaker 1: that's the whole We won't hold it against him anyway.
Speaker 1: Born in St. Louis raised in West Oakland. Now that
Speaker 1: I can see right, a thought leader and entrepreneur, a
Speaker 1: public speaker, and most of all, a teacher. He is
Speaker 1: a teacher, our brother. Welcome to the show. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining street Politicians, nineteen Keys, Thank you
Speaker 1: all for having me. Man Man, so listen so you
Speaker 1: know what you know, Like when people see nineteen Keys,
Speaker 1: he's just so polished, he's all he knows the perfect
Speaker 1: words to say. Like sometimes I listened to you talk,
Speaker 1: I'd like, how could you you can't say it better
Speaker 1: than that? Like perfect words. I want you to give
Speaker 1: a full understand who is nineteen Keys? Like, because we
Speaker 1: just we just most of us have just found you.
Speaker 1: Like I met you years ago our brother Derek Grace,
Speaker 1: you know, when we went to his birthday party, and
Speaker 1: that was the first time I met you. And from then,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been impressed and just and just following
Speaker 1: you and seeing how you've evolved even from then. At
Speaker 1: that point, you was one of the leading thought leaders
Speaker 1: in my opinion at that time, and I've watched you
Speaker 1: evolved over the last few years. But tell us what
Speaker 1: is the origin? Where did you come from? What is
Speaker 1: who are you. Well, can I just say this Derek
Speaker 1: Grace party. I don't know why I wasn't there, but
Speaker 1: must have been about the party. It was legendary. That
Speaker 1: was a very legendary night. Um. But now, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So I go bout nineteen keys, and that more so
Speaker 1: just speaks in part how unlock minds and how utilize
Speaker 1: information to get people to tap into They hire stuff,
Speaker 1: and they hired potential, you know that that part that
Speaker 1: usually lies dormant, you understand me. And most people and
Speaker 1: don't usually have keys, and they like somebody that can
Speaker 1: help them unlock their potential or knowing which knowledge of
Speaker 1: resources to seek to tap into themselves. And you know, uh,
Speaker 1: coming from Oakland, you understand me. Being raised in Oakland
Speaker 1: open got a different kind of energy, you understand me.
Speaker 1: And when I grew up out there, you know, it
Speaker 1: was the black Muslim militant, uh street culture at the
Speaker 1: same time that I grew up around has always seen
Speaker 1: black men who had voice, who had power, who have
Speaker 1: had money, who are militant, who has status, who have
Speaker 1: political favor the whole nine. So I grew up seeing
Speaker 1: black men and organizations, and I think from an early
Speaker 1: age I was inspired by that, you understand me. Where
Speaker 1: growing up we went to a black with some pirate
Speaker 1: school and we had to, you know, speak on stages
Speaker 1: like I've seen some recent videos on myself phone when
Speaker 1: I was like eight years old, and some of the
Speaker 1: things they had me saying when I was younger, some
Speaker 1: of the same potes I used today. You understand me.
Speaker 1: And so I never considered myself to be a speaker
Speaker 1: until you know, I got paid for it. But there
Speaker 1: was times when there would be protests and rallies in
Speaker 1: the streets of Oakland, and I grabed Mike can get
Speaker 1: up there speaking because I see no black men. It
Speaker 1: would be a crowd of white people talking about black issues.
Speaker 1: So I wanted there to be a voice that represented
Speaker 1: who I was. And then afterwards and days later, there
Speaker 1: would be people that come up and be like, man,
Speaker 1: that was so powerful what you said. So I'm listening
Speaker 1: and I always taking feedback. You understand me that if
Speaker 1: I have a talent that's real that I can utilize
Speaker 1: to help encourage and change the world in any capacity,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do so right. And at the same time,
Speaker 1: I've always been an entrepreneur, been a hustler, being a
Speaker 1: designer right, And I've utilized all of my skill sets
Speaker 1: and I believe that they all really are want right.
Speaker 1: It's just I think it's just you know, speaking as
Speaker 1: an art, you know, creating as art, doing businesses as
Speaker 1: an art. You know. I think even being a revolutionary
Speaker 1: is an art. You understand me the way you go
Speaker 1: about it, in the way you design these things. So
Speaker 1: I've always took all of my passions being a Muslim,
Speaker 1: being militant, being a man, being a speaker, being an entrepreneur,
Speaker 1: everything that I was raised under, everything that I've seen UM,
Speaker 1: and I try to be a solution for the things
Speaker 1: that I think where UM unaligned with me or wrong,
Speaker 1: because I've seen those same empires blocked me and fall
Speaker 1: by Ego far By. You know, they're killing each other,
Speaker 1: they you know, jealousy and all sort of issues come
Speaker 1: up and rise. So I've tried to create multiple groups
Speaker 1: where there were black men and women coming together, we
Speaker 1: traveled the world and done business, and I've always tried
Speaker 1: to stop it from getting to that point where you know, um,
Speaker 1: yeah it fails. You know, the same issues is basically
Speaker 1: the same exact patterns and cycle that happened almost in
Speaker 1: every single organization. Right, So I always say that I've
Speaker 1: never been impressed. I haven't been impressed by two match
Speaker 1: that I see in our culture because it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: unless it have longevity. You can always start something for
Speaker 1: a short period of time. It's successful for a year,
Speaker 1: five years, but if you don't get past them decade
Speaker 1: marks to be successful, then it don't really matter, right,
Speaker 1: And so I've always tried to create things that can
Speaker 1: be sustainable. And what I learned though, is I had
Speaker 1: to start with myself and make my own character, my
Speaker 1: own brand, and my own movement is sustainable. And so
Speaker 1: that's what I worked on. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm listening to you when you talk about that militancy.
Speaker 1: It's two things that come up for me. I also
Speaker 1: was the ero on the stage, you know, young girl.
Speaker 1: People think that we just kind of popped up out
Speaker 1: of nowhere because they just learned of who we are,
Speaker 1: but actually the history of how long some of us
Speaker 1: have been doing this work, um, it goes deep. And
Speaker 1: it was the same for me. I was seven and
Speaker 1: eight years old, singing the Black National anthem, speaking at
Speaker 1: rallies and organizing in Harlem, um, and and so I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking of what that looks like and how we
Speaker 1: have been through so many different phases of this movement
Speaker 1: since we were children. And the other thing, just thinking
Speaker 1: about you coming out of Oakland, it makes so much sense.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that until I did deeper research on
Speaker 1: your personal life in your background for the purpose of
Speaker 1: this interview. But knowing that the Black Panthers were there
Speaker 1: in Oakland and that the roots of the Black Panthers
Speaker 1: run so deep um into Oakland, that helps me understand
Speaker 1: you so much, you know, because it's like that militancy
Speaker 1: that you're talking about, you got it from a different
Speaker 1: type of movement, you know. And they weren't the polished
Speaker 1: Black Panthers. There was the real deal when they were
Speaker 1: in Oakland, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's the same with the Muslims. I was out there
Speaker 1: because you had two different sects you have. My mother
Speaker 1: grew us up in the Nation Islam, and then my
Speaker 1: father he was at your blocked with some bakery which
Speaker 1: was basically a different parlimlitary street organization, and every every
Speaker 1: week we would go outside and uh were drilled in
Speaker 1: every hood, you understand me. But they it was fear
Speaker 1: a little Muslims because the Muslims is crazy, you understand me.
Speaker 1: The type of Muslims that that would kill you, you
Speaker 1: understand me. And that was well known. Like that organization
Speaker 1: ran for four the years and then lost because of corruption.
Speaker 1: But imagine you right down the street and you see
Speaker 1: a motorcade of all ten black cars, Muslims in black suits,
Speaker 1: you understand me, and they hop out and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you got a hundred men on the sidewalk
Speaker 1: to start drilling in your hood, you understand me. In
Speaker 1: the purpose was at to credit demonstration so that it
Speaker 1: attracted to young men and women to power and show
Speaker 1: them something of a difference in their environment. And then
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, they had talked to
Speaker 1: the generals in every hood and it was an understanding
Speaker 1: that you know, we got our own army. We're coming
Speaker 1: in to save our people, right and at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it's not something we're negotiating with y'all.
Speaker 1: This is what this is our stands, that's what we're taking. Right.
Speaker 1: And so seeing that and also seeing those same black
Speaker 1: men have businesses and my father running that organization as well,
Speaker 1: you know, I learned a lot about that structure just
Speaker 1: through watching it and then the FI classes that we
Speaker 1: would go to every Monday night. We are being there,
Speaker 1: and that's why I learned a lot right where we
Speaker 1: gotta be in their boxing. We learned spirituality, we learn
Speaker 1: the business, we learned and discipline. I see things were
Speaker 1: a man and got in trouble that we he might
Speaker 1: get beat up. You understand, he got the file beat down.
Speaker 1: It was a little different, you know. So I see
Speaker 1: in a completely different paradigm and reality. And then when
Speaker 1: we go back to the streets, because we are in Oakland, right,
Speaker 1: I'm going in with this militant mindset. But then these
Speaker 1: cats that's growing up there, they don't have none of that,
Speaker 1: you know. They exist in a completely different reality. So
Speaker 1: it was almost you gotta duality, you living in two
Speaker 1: worlds at once, you know. And I've always figured out
Speaker 1: a way to combine that because I go back and
Speaker 1: forth between Oakland and St. Louis. So I left St.
Speaker 1: Louis when I was two, grew up and opened up
Speaker 1: into my teenage years, and then I went back to St. Louis, right,
Speaker 1: and then that's when they couldn't even believe none of
Speaker 1: the militant stories. I told me they thought I was
Speaker 1: kicking it all. They're like, come on, you part of
Speaker 1: the whistling my field military. I'm like, all right, but
Speaker 1: they gave me my third eye to be able to
Speaker 1: I was in the streets, but I was the of it,
Speaker 1: you understand me. So even when we did what we did,
Speaker 1: I was always the one giving the game and the
Speaker 1: advice to everybody else on how we should move on
Speaker 1: a different level, You understand me. And everybody that grew
Speaker 1: up with me can protested that as well. So when
Speaker 1: they see me to day, like man, he has always
Speaker 1: been like this, Now he just has a platform to
Speaker 1: magnify those thoughts. That's that's amazing because I see myself
Speaker 1: in the same same picture, like the duality being industriests
Speaker 1: but never feeling like you up the streets. And even
Speaker 1: when I was doing negative, I was trying to talk
Speaker 1: about like we should be doing this, and if we're
Speaker 1: gonna do this, then we need to make sure this
Speaker 1: is happening. So I was always that one person that
Speaker 1: was always having a different perspective. But when I listened
Speaker 1: to you, you know, just paying attention to you. You
Speaker 1: you're very big on creating our own, just building our own,
Speaker 1: just not weighing on anybody, just building our own. At
Speaker 1: what point did you come to that when you know,
Speaker 1: doing all the studies, you you've been around, you know,
Speaker 1: so many different thought leaders in different organizations, When did
Speaker 1: you come into your own and saying, you know, this
Speaker 1: is what we need to create, This is how I
Speaker 1: think we need to go about it. Because you have
Speaker 1: a different model, like I hear her different things with
Speaker 1: the way that you go about it is something that
Speaker 1: people from the street can gravitate to, but also has
Speaker 1: this militancy. So what how did you develop that? You know,
Speaker 1: it's just through study and it seeing the rise and
Speaker 1: fall of you know, essentially smaller empires, right, And it's
Speaker 1: a turn called aggregate efficiency where economically talk about the
Speaker 1: amount of energy you put into something based on the
Speaker 1: amount of energy you actually get out and rather it's
Speaker 1: an efficient model of doing something. So I looked at
Speaker 1: the idea of what the revolutionary was, right, because I
Speaker 1: think that was that concept of something you gravitate towards
Speaker 1: when you grow up in those type of environments. Understand me,
Speaker 1: And then I said, well, you know, if I wanted
Speaker 1: to be a traditional revolutionary I followed the traditional path,
Speaker 1: But then I have to ask myself do I want
Speaker 1: the same results that they got? And is that most
Speaker 1: effective way to go about it given that we and
Speaker 1: now you know the times that we are in with
Speaker 1: technology and resources. So I had to them to the
Speaker 1: conclusion like na, that wouldn't be the best use of
Speaker 1: my time to get those results I want? Right? So myself,
Speaker 1: what is the results we want? Right? The ideas like
Speaker 1: it ain't financial literacy and just an aspect. Financial liberation
Speaker 1: is the key, right and completely releasing ourselves from those
Speaker 1: contracts and the deeper study right in all fields. Let
Speaker 1: me know how deep in the depths of these issues
Speaker 1: and problems are that even if we saw one right,
Speaker 1: there's always a deeper underlying u of issue that exists
Speaker 1: there and most people can only solve the issue based
Speaker 1: on how much they understand the problem. Right. So the
Speaker 1: more I go into and study, whether it was Marcus Garvey,
Speaker 1: Noble jew Ali, you understand me um studying the history
Speaker 1: between even the fuse between different leaders and their different styles, right.
Speaker 1: I think studying the unaboid Liji Mohammed gave me an
Speaker 1: understanding difference because here's difference between most leaders. I think
Speaker 1: that he understood the enemy more, right. I think that
Speaker 1: was the difference between him and other leaders is that
Speaker 1: they was like, na, we can do it based on
Speaker 1: just educating or simulating, or we can just get the
Speaker 1: business down. He was like, y'all, don't understand the depths
Speaker 1: of the devil. Though you understand me. If I thought
Speaker 1: that was all we needed to do, then of course
Speaker 1: I would go with that model. But you have to
Speaker 1: understand that this problem exists much deeper, right, And so
Speaker 1: I believe that he constructed his solutions based on the
Speaker 1: full understanding of the problem. Right. And so even when
Speaker 1: I look at the Nabalaj Muhammad, I don't look at
Speaker 1: him as a little professor somebody delivered just a message,
Speaker 1: but somebody who built right, and who was a millionaire multimillionaire,
Speaker 1: And most people don't look at it from that aspect
Speaker 1: that he had financial success, right, He had an airplane
Speaker 1: in hospitals and in universities, and he had his own barbershops,
Speaker 1: and he had his own import export business with fish
Speaker 1: and poultry and supermarkets and a multitude of different things.
Speaker 1: Trust in real estate, like they would have their savers
Speaker 1: days and talk about all of the financial aspect of
Speaker 1: the nation of Islam. So that was something I gravitated
Speaker 1: towards as I started doing my study and saying that
Speaker 1: how can you say that you come from or study
Speaker 1: under a person if you haven't went as far as
Speaker 1: them or further, So that means that you haven't evolved
Speaker 1: their message yet until it produced his students for people
Speaker 1: that take that message further, because that's what the message
Speaker 1: is supposed to do for you, not just so that
Speaker 1: you follow it, but you become it right. And so
Speaker 1: taking and internalizing that and then seeing men who tried
Speaker 1: to internalize that message and failed at it because of
Speaker 1: the correction and their character, you understand me, were all
Speaker 1: the things that I set out not to become right.
Speaker 1: And then studying whether it was Martin Luther King in
Speaker 1: a way that he went about as a strategist because
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up like in Martin Luther King, right, Um,
Speaker 1: I think most of us that grow up being that
Speaker 1: more militant we think of the turn of chief. But
Speaker 1: then I learned how militant he was and how strategic
Speaker 1: he was, And funny enough, I learned that when went
Speaker 1: to a documentary in Chicago with Nick Cannon that he
Speaker 1: had threw um and he was that disciplined to dr
Speaker 1: King was super disciplined. You know, he knew he knew
Speaker 1: exactly what he was trying to get done. And I
Speaker 1: think that the whether you agree with all of his
Speaker 1: tactics or not, he never tried to be anybody else
Speaker 1: other than exactly who he had set out to be.
Speaker 1: And I think that says a lot about a man
Speaker 1: that you don't have to agree with them, but you
Speaker 1: know that they're not going to change based upon the
Speaker 1: room that they're man. Yeah, and he just had a
Speaker 1: strategy for everything he did. Like he he wasn't If
Speaker 1: I'm marching, then I need to get this thing in
Speaker 1: the press, and then this thing is gonna effect to
Speaker 1: move this politician and then we can get this bill.
Speaker 1: He was getting leverage each time he was doing something right,
Speaker 1: and like his men had to go train up in
Speaker 1: order to be not violent, because you know, it takes
Speaker 1: a certain level of discipline left in the face and
Speaker 1: to get punched and to not shake and start your
Speaker 1: spirit doing that and then people don't break rank. So
Speaker 1: I respected that aspect of it. It's the same thing
Speaker 1: with uh you know, Malcolm Max or the Honorable Minister
Speaker 1: lewis far kind of any Somebody asked me which leader
Speaker 1: I think I am, and at the time, I believe
Speaker 1: I'm an amalgamation of all, Like I study all of
Speaker 1: them to take what I believe is the best frequency
Speaker 1: that they had, that I believe we should teach our
Speaker 1: trison to evolve into an oftentime, we look at which
Speaker 1: one that we pick and we kind of pit them
Speaker 1: against each other's if they had to be separate forces.
Speaker 1: So economic spirituality, family, liberation, politics, right, technological advancement. You
Speaker 1: can find all of those in each one of those leaders.
Speaker 1: But we still haven't went as far as them yet.
Speaker 1: So now we deal with a different kind of people,
Speaker 1: and our people have more information than any other point
Speaker 1: in time than any other teacher came and try to
Speaker 1: teach us. They came at a point where a lot
Speaker 1: of people were wholly ignorant, you understand me, And now
Speaker 1: you've got the Internet, and so it's it's a much
Speaker 1: hard are the uphill battle. So it's still wholly ignorant
Speaker 1: as they still ignorant in a lot of areas, for surely,
Speaker 1: but they're more informed now, so it's harder to teach
Speaker 1: you people who already think they know something. You understand me,
Speaker 1: and that they have a certain level of consciousness that
Speaker 1: they filter all the information that you give them. Plus
Speaker 1: they have the background of thinking about all the leaders
Speaker 1: that have failed, and then they filter you through that
Speaker 1: same lens. And so now it's about putting the responsibility
Speaker 1: on the everyday person and the ideas and the principles
Speaker 1: rather than on myself, Like, nah, we're gonna teach you
Speaker 1: what you need to do right, so that you don't
Speaker 1: look at leadership as if it's failing. You gotta look
Speaker 1: at yourself that you fail because if I can give
Speaker 1: you the game, you don't play it the right way,
Speaker 1: then that's you losing, because now you don't have any excuses,
Speaker 1: So I look for no excuse. Models, Right, what you
Speaker 1: wanna do? You want to make money? What we would
Speaker 1: teach you a skill set to make money? You understand
Speaker 1: me if you know you wanna deal with the politics,
Speaker 1: when we would teach you our idea of how we
Speaker 1: can circle navigate some of those processes and politics to
Speaker 1: get to the process. You understand me of delivery and
Speaker 1: resourceful us. Right, and so you know I learned that
Speaker 1: you can't getting people to think a certain way and
Speaker 1: lets you give them some money, like they need resources first,
Speaker 1: otherwise we're stuck in survival mode. So it's like you
Speaker 1: can go to the streets and talk to them all
Speaker 1: you want, but until you can replace whatever they're doing
Speaker 1: the streets, right, they not go truly listen to you
Speaker 1: because they like, bron hear you. But you know, I
Speaker 1: gotta do this to survive. So it'll be like, what
Speaker 1: about to give you this game? Then would you be
Speaker 1: willing to trade that mindset that you have over here
Speaker 1: and put the energy over here and get better results
Speaker 1: and at the same time you're taking less risk and
Speaker 1: you can go further. And they'd be like, all right,
Speaker 1: you understand me. So I'm gonna wear my goal because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show them like, listen, I just did it
Speaker 1: myself right at the end of the day, and the
Speaker 1: excuses that you may make, you don't have. Like I
Speaker 1: was talking with me one time in the club chat
Speaker 1: and I remember I was giving a game to him
Speaker 1: and some other folks and he asked me. He was like,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but where are you from? So he thought
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like some Ohio or some square place,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I'm from St. Louis An, Oakland.
Speaker 1: You understand me, Like the excuses don't really exist. We
Speaker 1: don't matter where you come from, Like we live in
Speaker 1: two two. We all had the same resources. Depend on
Speaker 1: whether you want to pick them up or not, or
Speaker 1: that you want to shift your mindset outside your environment.
Speaker 1: That's dope. So there's two questions I want to ask.
Speaker 1: First of all, now we're dealing with this whole metaverse
Speaker 1: crypto n f T what is n f T S.
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to figure out what is then n f T.
Speaker 1: I hear it all the time. I'm kind of getting it.
Speaker 1: I was talking to the earn your leisure brothers the
Speaker 1: other day, our brothers, and they broke it down to
Speaker 1: me too. It was like it kind of clicked in
Speaker 1: my mind. But the second question I want to ask,
Speaker 1: when you said you went to the hood and drilled,
Speaker 1: let's get let's let everybody understand what you meant when
Speaker 1: you said we dropped out, we drilled, because they might
Speaker 1: get it confused. Okay, yeah, they think like music. God
Speaker 1: uh not. So drilling is a militant process where you know,
Speaker 1: just like in the military when they called the orders
Speaker 1: left face right face. It's a it's a militant cadence
Speaker 1: where all of us are lined up. We had on
Speaker 1: black suits, you understand me, read both ties, watch shirts,
Speaker 1: you understand me, dress shoes classic like if you were
Speaker 1: seeing the Malcolm X movie, uh, where they lined up
Speaker 1: outside the police station. And so it was an exercise
Speaker 1: of discipline, right, the showcase that we was all in
Speaker 1: one unison, right, and so learning that we would have
Speaker 1: the drill all year round. We didn't have no summer,
Speaker 1: like we didn't get let out for summer, you understand me.
Speaker 1: So we would be in the hot sun drilling whether
Speaker 1: it's a hundred degrees, were out there in full suits,
Speaker 1: but we wouldn't even be breaking the sweat because they
Speaker 1: also had your black with some bakery and we would
Speaker 1: be eating the right foods at the same time. And
Speaker 1: it was a showcase of who was and what they
Speaker 1: were doing. So other coming there and drill um and
Speaker 1: then he starts sweating out everything that he didn't did
Speaker 1: last night, you understand me. So the alcohol coming through
Speaker 1: your fores, you start smelling the smoke, brother, be like, no,
Speaker 1: we already know what you did last night. We can
Speaker 1: smell hennessy right there, do your sweat. You understand me
Speaker 1: by time to the end of the night. It's a
Speaker 1: whole story of what you did that whole week. You
Speaker 1: understand me because you should come in and improve every
Speaker 1: week because the brothers are basically the model is this.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you come from jail, you get
Speaker 1: off drugs. What's your situation is you homelessly? Give you
Speaker 1: a job and help you get a place to start,
Speaker 1: but you have to come in and get disciplined. You
Speaker 1: got to come in on the Monday nights, Saturday night meetings.
Speaker 1: You gotta come in, show up for your work. Don't
Speaker 1: mess out or nothing to give you the opportunity, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna be up to you to show up for
Speaker 1: So it was a whole process of redeeming a human
Speaker 1: bank right, and of course that comes from the underwood
Speaker 1: lives Mohammed, because nobody learned how to redeem the black
Speaker 1: man better than on the leg Behod. So what is
Speaker 1: the NFC Because I need to figure out how I
Speaker 1: can get me or sell me or something not me
Speaker 1: but stuff. So n f T s and you know,
Speaker 1: even saying the word n f T s, I think
Speaker 1: is what gives so many people so much difficult because
Speaker 1: it understanding this concept of a thing instead of understanding
Speaker 1: what it can do. Because there's really a digital token,
Speaker 1: you understand me, and it's digital token can be linked,
Speaker 1: um in creation to digital items. Right. So this moment
Speaker 1: right here, we took a screenshot of it. It can
Speaker 1: upload right on what they call the blockchain. And the blockchain,
Speaker 1: of course is basically a mathematical key where you can
Speaker 1: upload an item and it can't be hacked, It can't
Speaker 1: be destroyed, it can't be replaced, you understand me. It's
Speaker 1: creating digital ownership, right, So at first this wasn't possible
Speaker 1: at first, right, blockchain where a bit point is the
Speaker 1: first time a blockchain is created that has been unhackable.
Speaker 1: You understand me. Now, if you would think of most
Speaker 1: of the n f t s you see out there,
Speaker 1: which is non fungible tokens, which essentially saying that this
Speaker 1: is something that can't be exchanged for something else, right, um,
Speaker 1: because it has its own singular unit of value. Right.
Speaker 1: It's like if you get a sign picture from Beyonce
Speaker 1: that is non fungible, you can't if somebody loses that,
Speaker 1: they can't just replace it with another picture and then
Speaker 1: try to put the autograph over like na, this is
Speaker 1: non fungible item. So there's also regular digital tokens that
Speaker 1: are fundible. Right. A dollar is fungible because if you
Speaker 1: lose one dollar, you can replace it with another dollar,
Speaker 1: you can replace it with four quarters has the same
Speaker 1: amount of value, right, So not fundible, just the word
Speaker 1: that describes that idea. Now, I think the most important
Speaker 1: thing is what you can do with n f T s. Right.
Speaker 1: It's like if I try to explain, um, you know
Speaker 1: what my computer or how to create my computer, I
Speaker 1: couldn't because I don't know how to create computers, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with it, you understand me.
Speaker 1: And so everybody who has a product right now, if
Speaker 1: you already sell a book, what you do, both of
Speaker 1: you all do, then that means that you already have
Speaker 1: something that you can sell as a product as an
Speaker 1: n f T right, because what you could do is
Speaker 1: you can take your book right now, take the book,
Speaker 1: cover of it, take the art, and you uploaded on
Speaker 1: one of these platforms, right, and one of these platforms
Speaker 1: once you uploaded, that's the process they call mentee, because
Speaker 1: you're putting a transaction on the blockchain, right, and that
Speaker 1: transaction will be there forever. And what happens is is
Speaker 1: it's basically like a mathematical key, and that's something that
Speaker 1: you can store and what you call a digital wallet. Right,
Speaker 1: So once you take that picture anywhere. I know it
Speaker 1: may sound a difficult when we get here, but when
Speaker 1: we take that picture, and then on the back end
Speaker 1: you can put a link connected to that, so you
Speaker 1: can say, every time somebody buys this book, they are
Speaker 1: unlocking the e book. So the moment that they buy
Speaker 1: this n f T, it's going to automatically send that
Speaker 1: now mathematic pool key today wallet to say that now
Speaker 1: you own this thing that was mented on the black
Speaker 1: change to me, you're no longer owns this, my sign
Speaker 1: no longer ownss. It went from their wallet to your wallet, right,
Speaker 1: and so if you only make ten, there will only
Speaker 1: be ten. Right. Nobody else can uh fake like they
Speaker 1: have the same one, because you can go and see
Speaker 1: their transaction like, no, this did not come from wallet.
Speaker 1: You do not own the authentic one, right, and so
Speaker 1: nobody can go and hack that and change that and
Speaker 1: make it something else. So you've literally created You can
Speaker 1: put a quantity of that onto the block, change as
Speaker 1: much as you want. You can. Somebody can purchase it
Speaker 1: from you, but it's directly from you because you are
Speaker 1: the owner and the only place they can get that
Speaker 1: from it is from you, and then they can't and
Speaker 1: then there is nothing that can be done to change it. No,
Speaker 1: So the US, the US dollar, the the Treasury meant
Speaker 1: if they create something that they create one some one
Speaker 1: thousand dollar bills, you understand me, somebody else will have
Speaker 1: the counterfeit that because they have a process in which
Speaker 1: is created that they can say that this came from us, right,
Speaker 1: So like they are the Treasury meant. So the way
Speaker 1: that they meant something is the same way that you
Speaker 1: meant something. Right, it's taking that same ledger system that
Speaker 1: they have to say that, no, we have this in
Speaker 1: our ledger, that this came directly from us, and then
Speaker 1: we have unique identifiers on there that shows us whether
Speaker 1: this is real or whether this is counterfeit. So somebody
Speaker 1: took a screenshot of that, it also would not come
Speaker 1: with the benefits. So here's the beautiful part of it.
Speaker 1: So the same way that that person um that has
Speaker 1: that n f T that you dropped on there. You
Speaker 1: can now go with a code or developer and say, well,
Speaker 1: I want to air drop this person something for buying it.
Speaker 1: So air dropping is the process of sending them something
Speaker 1: in their wallet. Right. So let's say that everybody who
Speaker 1: boxed your book, now you want to send them another
Speaker 1: n f T directly to those wild is connected to
Speaker 1: UH that n f T. So you say, now I'm
Speaker 1: want to see you an invite to a special event.
Speaker 1: So if somebody just screenshot at that, they're not getting
Speaker 1: the invite in their wile because it's not connected to
Speaker 1: that transaction. Right. So that's the beauty of these n
Speaker 1: f T s because you can decide at any point
Speaker 1: in time to add value to them. That listen, now
Speaker 1: that you are in this is like a membership, you
Speaker 1: understand me. And you can also see everybody who says
Speaker 1: they support you. Everybody will run up to you like
Speaker 1: it's like them showing your receipt, but it's a real
Speaker 1: receipt saying that all right, now you can use this
Speaker 1: uh n f T. You can connect it as a
Speaker 1: ticket to say, well, you can scan it and if
Speaker 1: this comes up authentic, that you actually got it from
Speaker 1: my wallet. Then guess what, we'll let you into this event.
Speaker 1: But now it becomes a verifiable ticket that they can
Speaker 1: use or membership, right or in the case what most
Speaker 1: people use it called PSP projects is for profile photos,
Speaker 1: which is why you see people change their profile photo
Speaker 1: because the first projects were created to be profile photo pictures. Right.
Speaker 1: And then what happens is as a person to create
Speaker 1: an art and they say, well, you can also own
Speaker 1: the intellectual property connected to this part. So as long
Speaker 1: as you own it, I can create me some designs
Speaker 1: and instead of somebody feeling like they need to go
Speaker 1: steal my design to plagiarize them, they can just buy
Speaker 1: the design and being create a brand around it. So
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of people are doing right now.
Speaker 1: They take their crypto punk so they bore their yachts
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they start creating brands out of it
Speaker 1: where they're making shirts, they're making coffee mouths, or they
Speaker 1: make a cartoon, or they make other projects that are
Speaker 1: derivative of that because they own the trademark to it
Speaker 1: now or the intellectual property and the license to it.
Speaker 1: So you also can say that, okay, well what if
Speaker 1: somebody read your book and that they got the e book, um,
Speaker 1: and they decided they want to sell this as n
Speaker 1: f T now, right, so if they sell it, and
Speaker 1: you put in there because it has a smart contract
Speaker 1: connected to it to say that whatever I say, this
Speaker 1: n f T will do, anytime somebody buy it is
Speaker 1: going to execute that. Right. So if you say that's
Speaker 1: the next person that buys it, you want them to
Speaker 1: unlock the book as well, not just the first person,
Speaker 1: but each person that buys it, no matter how many
Speaker 1: people get it. That means that if you only can
Speaker 1: create a ten and only you can sell ten, but
Speaker 1: everybody who buys it, they can sell there is on
Speaker 1: the secondary market, and you can set a percentage of
Speaker 1: royalties that you want to get paid every time somebody selling.
Speaker 1: Now the same way if somebody go take shoes and
Speaker 1: they sell it on the secondary market, if night he
Speaker 1: had it connected as an n f T where it
Speaker 1: was authenticated. I used that for Dana the the example
Speaker 1: the other day because he sold out his hoodies in
Speaker 1: like five minutes. And example was like okay, Dapper Damn
Speaker 1: where the sold ten thousand digital hoodies that connected to
Speaker 1: ten thousand physical hoodies and he waited a period of
Speaker 1: time before he sent them out because some people bought
Speaker 1: more than one because they don't want to resell them
Speaker 1: right and resell them for more. But instead that could
Speaker 1: have been like, no, I'm gonna sell ten thousand and
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna get five him percent royalty every time
Speaker 1: somebody sells it. So now when somebody decided to go
Speaker 1: sell this at two hundred or three hundred dollars, you
Speaker 1: understand me, he get paid every time it stoked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So it makes if you do it scalping tickets,
Speaker 1: that benefits it's saying that these are real tickets. There's
Speaker 1: no longer illegal activity because we don't get paid off
Speaker 1: of regardless. But now it makes the secondary market powerful
Speaker 1: because it don't matter how many of you buy. You
Speaker 1: understand me, the person that initially created it go get
Speaker 1: sold regardless or get paid regardless after you sell it,
Speaker 1: because they get a percentage of you sell. Absolutely. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm told the earn your leisure guys, and I say
Speaker 1: it all the time. I need a sluck because I'm not.
Speaker 1: I have to have I gotta read things twice to
Speaker 1: get it. Let me let me he said something about research,
Speaker 1: they said, which means go back and read that's what
Speaker 1: they told me you said on one of these shows.
Speaker 1: But wait, no, no, I have a specific question that
Speaker 1: I need a slow answer to. If it's an n
Speaker 1: f T and it's digital, then how do I put
Speaker 1: the sweater over my head? Because what I was explaining
Speaker 1: to our brothers that are in your leisia is I'm
Speaker 1: the type of person that I like for my investment
Speaker 1: to be in my hand, something I can physically touch,
Speaker 1: So how do I get the product? Alright? So if
Speaker 1: it is a digital, it unlocks a physical right. So
Speaker 1: the idea was that, um, you would take the digital
Speaker 1: hoodie and then it would give you a link. Right.
Speaker 1: It could be at the point in time where he said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, for the first week, we're not gonna send
Speaker 1: them out, but whoever owns them on this day. I
Speaker 1: did this with my crowns. If you own this particular
Speaker 1: n f T on the nineteen, then that would be
Speaker 1: the day we verify all these n f T s
Speaker 1: and who holds them on that day? Right, because you
Speaker 1: could have hold him on the first. But I don't
Speaker 1: mean you unlock it. You don't get access to whatever
Speaker 1: it unlocks until you own it on that day. What
Speaker 1: gives it a period of time for people to start
Speaker 1: our selves it. That was the whole point. So now
Speaker 1: people can start selling on the secondary market, like damn,
Speaker 1: I didn't get mine. I didn't get mine. So people
Speaker 1: are like, all right, cool, I said I got five
Speaker 1: of them. I'll say you four months now. Dan just
Speaker 1: got paid you understand me each time that that was.
Speaker 1: So he got paid the initial time they bought it
Speaker 1: at full price, and then he got paid it on
Speaker 1: the secondary market because they wanted to make extra money
Speaker 1: and he created an opportunity for right. So now they
Speaker 1: get this link that verifiers that they own it, and
Speaker 1: now they get to put in their size. They shipping
Speaker 1: that dress, and it's going to automatically send them this hoodie.
Speaker 1: And now they get the physical hoodie with it. And
Speaker 1: how do you know it's authentic authentic because they got
Speaker 1: the n f T that shows, like, yo, this is
Speaker 1: not a fake that for Dann hoodie. This is a
Speaker 1: real one. I got the n f T that matches
Speaker 1: the hoodie that I owned, So this might be hoodie
Speaker 1: one eleven and I got the n f T one eleven, right,
Speaker 1: So it's also a market of authenticity so that it
Speaker 1: can't be faked. So what's the downside to this? Is
Speaker 1: there in your mind a downside? I guess you well,
Speaker 1: you said something. I do actually pay attention to you,
Speaker 1: just so you know. I heard you say. Every industry
Speaker 1: there's there's a downside, Like there's issues that come out
Speaker 1: of anything. So help us understand that. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of scammers in every industry.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of projects that ain't worry nothing. I
Speaker 1: think it's just simple where it's like I tell you,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do any to you do it for
Speaker 1: two reasons. You'll get in there buy stuff just because
Speaker 1: you like it, right, Like if like right behind me,
Speaker 1: I got these machines to where I can take one
Speaker 1: of my pictures and the uploads and here a three
Speaker 1: D image, a holographic image. Right, So if I like
Speaker 1: art that somebody got, now I got the digital frame,
Speaker 1: or I consider my house. Right, So if I'm buying
Speaker 1: it for that reason, I can't lose because I'm not
Speaker 1: buying it as an investment. I'm just buying it the
Speaker 1: same way you go to the market and you buy
Speaker 1: some art that you like and you take that and
Speaker 1: you're posted me your wall transaction over with. Right, If
Speaker 1: you start buying everything with the idea that it's going
Speaker 1: to be an investment and it's gonna make you money
Speaker 1: in the future, you're gonna lose out a lot, right,
Speaker 1: because you can't really predict all of that now. So
Speaker 1: if you buy things just because you like it, there's
Speaker 1: no loss in the market. That's different now if you're
Speaker 1: going in there and you're trying to make money, now,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to scare you because
Speaker 1: they're going to be people that make it seem like
Speaker 1: you're gonna make money by getting into this project. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be hyped, it's gonna be a community built around it,
Speaker 1: and then a lot of people will exit that project.
Speaker 1: So now you own this digital asset that you can
Speaker 1: do nothing with. Right, then they're just sitting in your wallet.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can still go take that picture and
Speaker 1: you can put it up, but that wasn't the reason
Speaker 1: you bought it for. And you overpay for something that
Speaker 1: didn't have any utility. Right, And this is something that
Speaker 1: I've taught at the beginning of it, is that utility
Speaker 1: is the key to creating the value for this unless
Speaker 1: it's a real artist. I don't want to buy art
Speaker 1: from you. Number one, You understand I mean somebody that
Speaker 1: just started last week and start putting out art. Why
Speaker 1: would I buy art from you. You're not an artist.
Speaker 1: You hired an artist to put out heart. So it's
Speaker 1: different if you hire an artist to create art and
Speaker 1: it represents like a product picture that unlocks something of value. Right,
Speaker 1: let's say that because you're here always done to me,
Speaker 1: you understand me. So let's say your hair stylus says
Speaker 1: that I've only got five appointments this week. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put them as n f T s and basically unlocking
Speaker 1: which date and what time. You understand me. If you
Speaker 1: buy the n f T then you get that appointment.
Speaker 1: Now let's say that you can't make it. Or let's
Speaker 1: say that you are stylish. Okay, now come on, talk
Speaker 1: to me and my language. Now I'm understanding. Then what okay,
Speaker 1: you can wait, let me say what I think. So
Speaker 1: then you can't make it. So now you go and
Speaker 1: sell it to somebody else. They get it, and you
Speaker 1: can sell it for whatever price you want to that person.
Speaker 1: If you pay two hundred dollars. You could be like, well,
Speaker 1: if you want my appointment, you gotta pay four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: And then the person who was selling it, the hair
Speaker 1: eye the percentage of the first of all, she gets
Speaker 1: the first two dollars, and then she or he gets
Speaker 1: the percentage off of the resale. Now, if you're hot,
Speaker 1: stylish or somebody, uh, hair stylush, somebody might want to
Speaker 1: buy all your slots just to sell them. But guess
Speaker 1: what you get paid regardless, So you and then what
Speaker 1: they might want to do and say, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna They might be a celebrity stylus. They might
Speaker 1: buy the slots so they can start giving it to
Speaker 1: their clients and start selling those clients. That's what people
Speaker 1: do with clothes, and they do it all kinds of
Speaker 1: different things. There's a lot of secondary markets that exist,
Speaker 1: it's just the initial creator doesn't always get the benefit
Speaker 1: from it. So now you get to create all these
Speaker 1: different business models. So when I help people create n
Speaker 1: f T s, I'm helping people create businesses and new
Speaker 1: business models. That's what I'm doing, and finding different creative
Speaker 1: ways to add on to their business model that wasn't
Speaker 1: normally possible. So the n f T s allow people
Speaker 1: to do things with their business and get super creative
Speaker 1: in ways that they normally couldn't have done. At first, mm, brother,
Speaker 1: you broke it down. That was this you gotta now
Speaker 1: she figured out I wanted to give y'all the jewels too,
Speaker 1: because n f T s could also be used in
Speaker 1: humanitary causes in philanthropy as well. Right, yeah, but we're
Speaker 1: we're actually in an n f T situation now with
Speaker 1: Tommy Smith, uh, their brother who raised his fists in
Speaker 1: the Olympics um where they are selling an original of
Speaker 1: the photo of him with of course the signature, and
Speaker 1: several organizations will benefit from the money that has received,
Speaker 1: you know, So I'm getting it. I'm we just got
Speaker 1: to create our own NFC because we have value, you know.
Speaker 1: So once we create something that we can sell and
Speaker 1: then actually give all our followers updates or have personal
Speaker 1: rooms where if you have this n m T, you
Speaker 1: can come to this personal room discuss this, or see
Speaker 1: personal footage of things. If you put your book up there,
Speaker 1: you can give like a behind the scenes something about
Speaker 1: your book that only people who brought the book the
Speaker 1: n f T can get there I'm getting it now,
Speaker 1: I'm getting it. I'm getting there. So listen, we gotta
Speaker 1: wrap up real quick, because we could be here all
Speaker 1: day with you. You You know that we we always could build.
Speaker 1: But I just want to know tell us about the
Speaker 1: metaverse and how does the n f T s fit
Speaker 1: into the metaverse. So you know, n f T s
Speaker 1: are digital things you can on if you have uh
Speaker 1: I'm sure you are. Both of you all have two children,
Speaker 1: so they a lot of children. They play games and
Speaker 1: then they buy skins in those games, right, And the
Speaker 1: idea is that you can take these digital things that
Speaker 1: you buy in the game and you can transfer over
Speaker 1: to other games or other places, because it doesn't just
Speaker 1: exist in this game and exist as something that you
Speaker 1: digitally own. So if you buy something as an n
Speaker 1: f T market, you can take that thing that you
Speaker 1: own and you can bring it into the metaverse in
Speaker 1: this digital world. I just see Angela of Benton, she
Speaker 1: just wrote out something with the n f T where
Speaker 1: you can take your own stream lytics data company and
Speaker 1: you can take all of your data, you can connect
Speaker 1: it to your n f T And I believe the
Speaker 1: idea is essentially that you can take your world world
Speaker 1: profile of all the things you do, and you can
Speaker 1: download it into your character and all of that data
Speaker 1: be connected to your character, right. And she has a
Speaker 1: platform basically allowing you to sell your own data so
Speaker 1: you make money off of it. Rather than companies selling
Speaker 1: it to other companies, you now get to sell your
Speaker 1: data directly to them and get paid off. Right. But
Speaker 1: the idea is that you know there's going to be
Speaker 1: a digital world where people are going to be submerged
Speaker 1: into this new era of social media. Right, meta by
Speaker 1: Facebook standards, you understand me, It is not. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be the one that pop off that
Speaker 1: most people want to get into. I think that's gonna
Speaker 1: be an overly police social media, open social media that
Speaker 1: I'm not promoting, right. I don't really promote metaverse period,
Speaker 1: besides the education behind the opportunities that people can use, right,
Speaker 1: Like they want to use metaverse and empathy training for
Speaker 1: police officers. Right now, I can't tell you whether this
Speaker 1: go work, but they do say that it increases empathy
Speaker 1: to put your stuff on somebody else's shoes, right, and
Speaker 1: then the brain submerges itself into that experience, and then
Speaker 1: once you leave out of it. You can now empathize
Speaker 1: with that person because you literally have experienced what it
Speaker 1: was like to be a black man getting pulled over.
Speaker 1: You understand me in those moments. And so they've done
Speaker 1: doing this for nursing homes. They're doing this with all
Speaker 1: sort of different things, and even education and the education
Speaker 1: field that people are able to retain information more when
Speaker 1: they're submersed into it in these environments. And then in
Speaker 1: these metaverses, we can create our own world. We can
Speaker 1: create any type of environment that we want to have received.
Speaker 1: You understand me. You can be there u uh uh
Speaker 1: Marcus Garvey speech, you understand me duplicated, and you can
Speaker 1: sit in the audience and you can be up there
Speaker 1: and see what it was like to be there. You
Speaker 1: can be in ancient Egypt right with black faces with
Speaker 1: the nose on there before they knocked everything down, and
Speaker 1: you can experience what it was like to go through
Speaker 1: true history instead of you know, the white eratiar of history.
Speaker 1: Like so, the metaverse we can use as education platforms.
Speaker 1: You can host events in there, right, you can create
Speaker 1: games in there. You can take your n f T s,
Speaker 1: you can bring them into the metaverse. People have full
Speaker 1: galleries that they create with the n f t S.
Speaker 1: People teach classes in there because you can also get
Speaker 1: your streams people. I mean, in the future, there's I'm
Speaker 1: sure the metaverse is gonna be a very weird place
Speaker 1: that people are doing all sort of crazy chaotic things
Speaker 1: in there. And then it's not saying that you have
Speaker 1: to be completely submerged in your phone. You can be
Speaker 1: in the metaverse just through your computer, right, Um, I
Speaker 1: know I understand to do is dropping some hardware where
Speaker 1: he's going to have some blast. Is that's like this
Speaker 1: you understand me to where it it overlays the metaverse
Speaker 1: on top of the real world so that you're not
Speaker 1: completely just submerged into this virtual reality, right, so that
Speaker 1: it doesn't take up all of your senses. But you
Speaker 1: can use the metaverse the same way as you use
Speaker 1: the Internet. You understand me is social media where you
Speaker 1: don't have to completely be connected to it. So the
Speaker 1: metaverse is just the future of the Internet at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, and there's an opportunity for billions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars to be created. They are already
Speaker 1: funny billions of dollars. So anytime I see a new sector. Right,
Speaker 1: I say, well, if we learn the skills on how
Speaker 1: to build that and we get it early, then there
Speaker 1: was a billions of dollars that can come our way. Right,
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of looking at this metaverse. I
Speaker 1: don't care if people play games or they create the
Speaker 1: avatars and all of that crapping there. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be the owners of it and create our own thing.
Speaker 1: You understand me, because even on social media, people are
Speaker 1: spending five or six hours today on it. So people
Speaker 1: are already going to be in the metaverse because that's
Speaker 1: where they have it is anyway, you know, So it's
Speaker 1: not and if it's a't win at this point in time,
Speaker 1: and if we have our own metaverse, at least we
Speaker 1: can capitalize off it and we can decide what our
Speaker 1: people minds and submerged into it makes sense. I want
Speaker 1: to say one thing we're gonna close with this so
Speaker 1: high level conversations is that that's the new podcast that's
Speaker 1: coming and and and and tell them about infinite wealth strategies.
Speaker 1: Break all of that down as we end up go
Speaker 1: out there, let them know where to find you. All
Speaker 1: of that break it downs were so high level conversations, man,
Speaker 1: is exactly what it is way too many low level conversations.
Speaker 1: When I sit down, people don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: safe spaces to be intelligent. Man. A lot of people
Speaker 1: that I have conversations with, you know, we've dune it
Speaker 1: down a lot for audiences. And depending on the way
Speaker 1: that you get your platform, it's like you don't have
Speaker 1: a platform to show ocase your mind that people actually
Speaker 1: want to hear. Right, then, I'm gonna talk about subjects
Speaker 1: and I don't have no bar. You understand me. I
Speaker 1: can go as far as I want to and say
Speaker 1: what I want to because I'm free. You understand me.
Speaker 1: So I want to have high level conversations in all areas,
Speaker 1: whether it's politics, whether it's money, you understand me, live ration,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, a spirituality, any and everything. You know.
Speaker 1: I got some dope people lined up thus far, but
Speaker 1: also have concepts that I want to give to the culture.
Speaker 1: It's taken like what we've seen in the conscious community
Speaker 1: and then taken into a higher level of aesthetic you
Speaker 1: understanding me, platform and mainstream to where we can give
Speaker 1: concepts that really take us to a higher frequency in
Speaker 1: a higher vibration. So it's gonna get real dangerous, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be powerful. I'm gonna make people change their platform
Speaker 1: and the way they do things because we go listen,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this question, who is the smartest
Speaker 1: black man in history? Or woman? Who's the smartest? The smartest?
Speaker 1: I don't want to give nobody that one time? Who
Speaker 1: would you give that? Yeah? I mean that it is
Speaker 1: a tough question. I do have an answer. But the
Speaker 1: idea that question. If I ask you, who are like
Speaker 1: the smartest white men in the history, we gotta like
Speaker 1: a list of top ten we would go through based
Speaker 1: on living white men, you understand me. And the issue
Speaker 1: is is that we don't really have a list of
Speaker 1: like the top ten smart We have the top ten rappers,
Speaker 1: but we don't value intelligence in that same capacity, you know,
Speaker 1: So we don't really look at each other and measure
Speaker 1: each other based on intelligence. So people don't showcase their
Speaker 1: intelligence for that reason. Actually, so I want us to
Speaker 1: be able to now have a measurement where we would
Speaker 1: be like, damn him being smart as a reason that
Speaker 1: he's popular, reason that he should have a platform, a
Speaker 1: reason that people should listen to him, But look up
Speaker 1: to this person or she being intelligence. So I want
Speaker 1: to add intelligence as a metric now that people look
Speaker 1: at as a success. But we can look at this
Speaker 1: and the Steve Jobs and all them would be like
Speaker 1: in the Einstein's and say that these are the smartest
Speaker 1: white men easily off the top of our head because
Speaker 1: we give them an intelligence market as a reason for
Speaker 1: their success. But we don't do that in our community.
Speaker 1: We might even call a person of genius, but we
Speaker 1: still don't look at how smart they are. Right, So,
Speaker 1: high level conversations it's coming. It's gonna be on the
Speaker 1: y L network. We're gonna do some amazing things. I
Speaker 1: got some powerful guests lined up, and then of course
Speaker 1: I got myself. So I want you all to be
Speaker 1: on there because when we have a conversation, you ready,
Speaker 1: were ready, We know exactly well, listen, I got stuff
Speaker 1: I want to talk about, So tell us so people.
Speaker 1: You said you help people to set up their n
Speaker 1: f T s and all of that, and I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that that's through infinite wealth strategies. Wealth strategies. So I'm
Speaker 1: also creating an incubator for developers and artists to where
Speaker 1: everybody has ideas for their projects. They can come through
Speaker 1: us and then we can create their projects for them. Currently,
Speaker 1: we have the Infinite Wealth Strategies where my students they
Speaker 1: can flip n f T s there creating f T s.
Speaker 1: You understand me. What's especially saying that they're creating businesses
Speaker 1: and then making money and they're creating products and projects.
Speaker 1: Not only did we do that in the in the
Speaker 1: Infinite Wealth Strategies, we also choose cryptocurrency, how to understand it,
Speaker 1: how to find projects? You understand me, how to sale,
Speaker 1: trade and buy cryptocurrency. Um. We also teach you how
Speaker 1: to create books. I got a three or four week
Speaker 1: book strategy where you can credit e book, take the
Speaker 1: idea out your head and stop procrastinating. And always say,
Speaker 1: procrastination is the abortion clinic of ideas. And I think
Speaker 1: that's a mental health issue that eight people have because
Speaker 1: a lack of focus. So we teach that. My father
Speaker 1: teaches a class every Monday. A live class is a
Speaker 1: manhood class you understand me, for business development and mental development.
Speaker 1: So every Monday he's been doing that for almost a year. Now.
Speaker 1: You understand me that you want to get access to
Speaker 1: that live one. I sometimes come in there and do
Speaker 1: Sunday consultations where I can give you specific advice on
Speaker 1: how you can break into this industry, with whatever industry
Speaker 1: that's you into. So whether you're in politics, whether you're hairdresser,
Speaker 1: whether you tell books, whatever it is, I'll give you
Speaker 1: the game or how you can get in for yours right.
Speaker 1: And it's really about the community because the community in
Speaker 1: there they're teaching you. They teach you things about staking,
Speaker 1: the process of putting your money into earn interests, or
Speaker 1: they teach you about different projects that you can get in.
Speaker 1: It's a whole real blockchain intelligent community. Teach you how
Speaker 1: to create trust, uh not just trust with but like
Speaker 1: trust for trust. Yes, yes, because my mom um, she
Speaker 1: had a stroke two years ago March ten, and I
Speaker 1: had to learn in a very short time period in
Speaker 1: order for her to be able to get the help
Speaker 1: that she needs, how to create a trust, what to
Speaker 1: do about my parents money. And I can tell you
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that do not have
Speaker 1: a clue of any of that in our community. And
Speaker 1: that's where but I was gonna say the last thing
Speaker 1: on trust. When you understand that America is a trust,
Speaker 1: America's a cooperation. So every black family only should have
Speaker 1: a trust and should be set up as a corporation.
Speaker 1: Corporations have more power than people in this country. You
Speaker 1: understand me. We We live in oligarchy. You understand me. We
Speaker 1: we we live in a in a in a world
Speaker 1: where it is owned by a special interest group and corporations.
Speaker 1: So when you operate through trust, you operate through corporations.
Speaker 1: You you set it up like the Kardashians. Dude, they
Speaker 1: got a church where they run their taxes through. You
Speaker 1: are now operating in the way you're supposed to in America,
Speaker 1: and we give away a lot of our rights because
Speaker 1: we don't understand our natural rights in the order of
Speaker 1: things in America. So you can find me Infinite Wealth
Speaker 1: Strategies nineteen Keys, Underscore, nineteen Keys um on all platforms.
Speaker 1: You can tune into the high level conversations coming on
Speaker 1: the E y On network Mars nineteen understanding. If you're
Speaker 1: feeling dangerous tapping in the nineteen Keys, my brother, we
Speaker 1: appreciate you man, thanks for breaking it down. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Love your success, continue to grow hopefully when you opening
Speaker 1: up these minds, I see a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of minds over it. Ran you wait to have you
Speaker 1: all on the platforms. So we can't wait right away,
Speaker 1: thank you, We got to have you back on again
Speaker 1: so that as people learn this stuff that you know,
Speaker 1: as it gets deeper and they have more questions, that
Speaker 1: we're hitting them on every angle, making sure that we
Speaker 1: we've been saying that on our show. Folks might not
Speaker 1: like it, but we yes, politics is important, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna be focusing a lot on money, on our money
Speaker 1: and our spending power, because we think that that is
Speaker 1: of course, sort of like the next level, if you will.
Speaker 1: I don't think that that means it is um that
Speaker 1: it is it that that it takes the place of
Speaker 1: our politics, because we have to understand the political nature
Speaker 1: of our communities, how things operate, and also how now
Speaker 1: we we're hearing that the government is planning to get
Speaker 1: involved with crypto and try to put regulations, So you
Speaker 1: have to understand the politics in order to understand how
Speaker 1: to deal with your money. But we still need to
Speaker 1: focus more on our sustainability from a financial perspective. So
Speaker 1: that's the way with our money. It's simple. You can
Speaker 1: with our money or resources, and if the politicians that
Speaker 1: you do get behind you gotta look at you know,
Speaker 1: are they getting behind things that are good for us
Speaker 1: financially right? If they're going to implement things that we
Speaker 1: can benefit from these crypto bills, then that's lobby, right,
Speaker 1: you know my saying poor people vote rich people lobby.
Speaker 1: That's right. All right, appreciate you please, guys. So our
Speaker 1: brother the next guest, which I was super excited about
Speaker 1: because we had nineteen keys booked, and then we got
Speaker 1: this alert in the media that said that, um, one
Speaker 1: of our friends, our dear brothers, is now putting this
Speaker 1: n f T process into action, working on putting it
Speaker 1: into action. Um. But it was a different end Street because,
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm thinking art, I'm thinking you know,
Speaker 1: things like that, and now looking at what is happening,
Speaker 1: and this example is very different. So let me just
Speaker 1: introduce to those people who are listening to street politicians
Speaker 1: today who may not know that there is a man
Speaker 1: who runs restaurants in New York and has all kinds
Speaker 1: of other businesses. You know, Don poo got mad, that's
Speaker 1: but he is a franchise expert and entrepreneur of Extraordinaire
Speaker 1: and the former executive vice president of m c A
Speaker 1: Records which makes so much sense because when you go
Speaker 1: to his famous restaurant, Brooklyn chop House, the walls are
Speaker 1: full of all the artists and entertainers who have been there,
Speaker 1: who are great supporters of of his That's my spot, right,
Speaker 1: Welcome to street politics. Up. What what I have? Guys?
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? We were blessed the Holy
Speaker 1: Favorite man, because thank you. I know you got a
Speaker 1: busy day. You're always moving, you always on the run.
Speaker 1: Every time I see you, you're going some places. Every
Speaker 1: time I look on the internet, you in the best
Speaker 1: rooms with you know, everywhere. I'm like Pudo put on
Speaker 1: Mrs Spot and then I see you in chop House
Speaker 1: like you're just a regular worker man. So I love
Speaker 1: I love the energy, man, I love it. Thanks some
Speaker 1: We you know, we we gotta show up, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta You know, this is not nothing new to me.
Speaker 1: You know we come from this grind. You know, entertainment
Speaker 1: kind of prepared me for this grind. You know the
Speaker 1: rest of my run business. It's not easy, but you
Speaker 1: know we we we've been blessed and Holly Favorite, you know,
Speaker 1: have this opportunity to create a very you know, unique
Speaker 1: concept with Brooklyn Chop House, and you know, we've exposed it,
Speaker 1: you know all of our peers and they've been very supportive. Um,
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of support. And now we're you know,
Speaker 1: going from our first restaurant to open in two thousand eighteen,
Speaker 1: UM to our now our newest, newest restaurant, which is
Speaker 1: gonna be our flagship in Times Square. UM would blessed
Speaker 1: to have that. We just open that. And you know,
Speaker 1: we're doing some creative things within the restaurant space now
Speaker 1: when it comes to U n f T S with
Speaker 1: a section of our restaurants that's not open yet, it's
Speaker 1: soon to come. We're still developing the concept. But you know,
Speaker 1: I would love to share exactly you know how this
Speaker 1: application is n f T because um um how we're
Speaker 1: applying it to restaurants and you know a membership um
Speaker 1: only uh section of the restaurant. It just clicks from
Speaker 1: the last conversations of this one. So it's not like
Speaker 1: just a regular dinner. You're talking about an experience and
Speaker 1: being certain place you can't go unless you are part
Speaker 1: of this. So it's unlocking your private aerial whatever. It's
Speaker 1: unlocking your private area and experience that will be unlike
Speaker 1: the experience you would normally get at Brooklyn Shop Bouse,
Speaker 1: which is great by the way, but we're providing it's
Speaker 1: a different floor, a different it's actually in the building,
Speaker 1: but it will be a different business, a different floor,
Speaker 1: different entry. So to be separated from what we have
Speaker 1: now is the concept and it's um it's our wine
Speaker 1: seller private n f T membership only experience, which hopefully
Speaker 1: will be launching, you know, as we work through all
Speaker 1: of the particulars with everything in with New York City,
Speaker 1: will probably probably be opening in a few months. So
Speaker 1: so excited about that experience. I'm so excited. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, just ready to find out things now. You
Speaker 1: first of all, you said something I thought was so true,
Speaker 1: watching you don work like your regular employee in your
Speaker 1: own restaurant. We see you hustling, bustling, managing, talking, meeting people.
Speaker 1: And I watched Sylvia of Sylvia's Restaurants in Harlem for
Speaker 1: years because that's like the kitchen in my house. I
Speaker 1: go to Sylvia's and pick up all my food. I
Speaker 1: watched that behavior and it shows me how the longevity
Speaker 1: has been accomplished by her brand, for her brand, her
Speaker 1: restaurant her family that she went to every table, she
Speaker 1: talked to every person, she rubbed every baby, she fixed
Speaker 1: every problem. She was on top of everything that happened there.
Speaker 1: And they have continued that and we see it in you.
Speaker 1: So talk to us a little bit about that grind.
Speaker 1: You know that you where that came from, so that
Speaker 1: that they came from earlier on, from you know myself
Speaker 1: growing up in Brooklyn. Um I had my first job
Speaker 1: when I was twelve years old. Um I was packing
Speaker 1: bags at a supermarket. So I was always about service, right.
Speaker 1: I was always you know, I was making you know,
Speaker 1: ten cents heres there, but you know change turns into
Speaker 1: you know, dollars, right. So all I learned from a
Speaker 1: young age that as we um, as we serve people
Speaker 1: and as we you know, work hard and it's all
Speaker 1: about the customer service, right. UM I would carry packages
Speaker 1: and bags for um older UM adults and the elderly
Speaker 1: that couldn't climb the steps and you know had walk
Speaker 1: up apartments. I would help them take their backs to
Speaker 1: their homes and they would you know, give me a
Speaker 1: better tip whatever. So I just learned the service business
Speaker 1: earlier on. So that kind of carried with me for
Speaker 1: you know, basically my my entire life from managing you know, artists,
Speaker 1: which I got into the entertainment business, from working with
Speaker 1: Mary's Blis, from managing Boxy Brown to you know assistant
Speaker 1: um the Church's b I g here and there on
Speaker 1: on in different areas when he was on the road
Speaker 1: and always wanted to be in that, you know, in
Speaker 1: that industry, so I gotta I got an opportunity to
Speaker 1: um diversify, you know, once I got into the music
Speaker 1: industry into food and beverage enfranchising, and then from there
Speaker 1: I went on to start my own brand, which is
Speaker 1: Brooklyn chap House, and you know, able to carry on
Speaker 1: some of those same characteristics that I learned from earlier
Speaker 1: on into my business and you know, into my grind.
Speaker 1: You know, I've always been grinding, so I never stopped.
Speaker 1: So I'm thankful that you know, the concept is working.
Speaker 1: And yes, you're right, Um. You have to touch every table.
Speaker 1: You have to you know, talk to people, you have
Speaker 1: to greet people, you have to show up, you know,
Speaker 1: customer services everything. You know, you can have great food
Speaker 1: and terrible service, but when the two meet and match
Speaker 1: and you know, you have great service and you know,
Speaker 1: great food and it's unanimous that you have both. That's
Speaker 1: when you know those those two worlds being you, you
Speaker 1: know you you possibly could survive because obviously we know
Speaker 1: in the restaurants are tough business. Um you know, eight
Speaker 1: of them unfortunately fail in the first two years. So
Speaker 1: we just have to you know, be dedicated, UM, find
Speaker 1: great locations, find great concepts, and execute. That's the that's
Speaker 1: the truth. So what what made you decide that, like
Speaker 1: this is such an innovative thing that you you're you're
Speaker 1: combining n f t S with your restaurant. Like what
Speaker 1: made you come up with that? What made you feel
Speaker 1: like I need to be involved in n f t
Speaker 1: S right now? Well, I think this is the this
Speaker 1: is the next movement. And um, what we're learning from
Speaker 1: n f T S, I gain the industry is very new.
Speaker 1: But we we're learning is as you know as artists.
Speaker 1: Because once upon a time when artists specifically right just
Speaker 1: at painting, they sell at one time and that's it.
Speaker 1: There was no recurring residuals associated with you know something
Speaker 1: um that's unique, that um that's um tangible that you
Speaker 1: know you can sell over and over and over against.
Speaker 1: So now in the digital space, the metaverse. You create
Speaker 1: something that's unique, and every time this UM, this n
Speaker 1: f T or special UM experience is sold or transferred UM,
Speaker 1: a percentage goes to you know, the person that mince it.
Speaker 1: So it's a different concept and I think it's a
Speaker 1: unique opportunity to apply it to restaurant membership program. So
Speaker 1: there's one other company that you know was UM on
Speaker 1: the cuttaon edge of this was the fly Fish Club
Speaker 1: with Gary v. He UM actually launched one. I don't
Speaker 1: believe they have a restaurant yet in place, but they
Speaker 1: launched it, I believe earlier this year and the last year,
Speaker 1: and they were very successful and I think they sold
Speaker 1: out their membership availability and they're they're basically proof that
Speaker 1: this UM blueprint or this concept well possibly you know,
Speaker 1: it didn't start yet, but the UM, the excitement and
Speaker 1: the network is there for people that want, you know,
Speaker 1: this opportunity to be part of you know, nft UM
Speaker 1: Restaurant Membership Club per se. So okay, so so now
Speaker 1: did you what are your thoughts on black folks getting
Speaker 1: into this n f T space, Like do you feel
Speaker 1: like this is something that we should be rushing to
Speaker 1: or would you have people sort of, Um, I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta take caution with everything. But I'm hearing a
Speaker 1: lot of people say this is this is the next
Speaker 1: move for us as a community to be more in
Speaker 1: control of trading our own money. But you know, without
Speaker 1: having the middleman of the banks and you know, others
Speaker 1: in it and taking their percentage before it gets to
Speaker 1: whoever we want to support. We want to support don Pool,
Speaker 1: don Pool wants to support to making my son. How
Speaker 1: do we do that without the middleman? So do you
Speaker 1: think that that's the right move for us as a people? Again,
Speaker 1: the industry is new, but I think the concept is right. Right,
Speaker 1: So as this exchange or this this new industry um,
Speaker 1: you know, evolves, I think you'll see that, Yes, we
Speaker 1: should always diverse the five. So so the answer to
Speaker 1: that question is, yes, you should not jump in with
Speaker 1: everything you have, but diversify into this market of n
Speaker 1: f T s like you would you know, any any
Speaker 1: other you know, UM securities and exchange like yeah, you
Speaker 1: just have to be well well diversified with everything. But yes,
Speaker 1: I think, um, the concept makes sense for us to
Speaker 1: be involved in. It's still new. We don't know how
Speaker 1: it's going to actually pan out yet, but if the
Speaker 1: concept makes a lot of sense, So so what what
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that this high level
Speaker 1: that this n f T that you want to you know,
Speaker 1: for these exclusives members. What do you what are some
Speaker 1: of the things that you I don't know if you
Speaker 1: have it all claimed out yet, but what are some
Speaker 1: of the things that you want to offer to these
Speaker 1: members so they'll they'll have exclusivity for reservations UM private,
Speaker 1: UM private events, UM private art events, UM other maybe
Speaker 1: UM other n f T launches UM UM the opportunity
Speaker 1: and network with other cryptocurrency UM you know UM people
Speaker 1: that's in that world UM, so that they could get
Speaker 1: you know, UM network and get understandings about how this
Speaker 1: application could be applied across the board UM opportunity to
Speaker 1: you know, there's going to be different types of UM
Speaker 1: culinary experiences that we're gonna bring to the to the members.
Speaker 1: So so it's a wide variety of UM opportunities. And
Speaker 1: I would say it would be art, music, you know,
Speaker 1: culinary and culture that we're all going to bring together
Speaker 1: in a unique experience that UM would not be readily
Speaker 1: available anywhere else. M wow, And and and now if
Speaker 1: I don't want to use my reservation for tonight. I
Speaker 1: can sell it to another person, allowed them to take it,
Speaker 1: and you get a percentage. It wouldn't work like exactly
Speaker 1: like that. Think more like a member's only club. It's
Speaker 1: only for you, but you have the ability to bring
Speaker 1: other people in on your reservation. It was for the
Speaker 1: token holders only and their guests. So it will go
Speaker 1: as far as it will go. As far as that.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be, um, something that you can you could sell. Well,
Speaker 1: I like it when I when I say by that, um,
Speaker 1: what I mean that you can sell. Yes, it would
Speaker 1: be on your exchange. You can sell your membership, but
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to it's not transferable to let
Speaker 1: come in it. I got it. I think you need
Speaker 1: the next model of a Soho house. We have to
Speaker 1: have this conversation at another time because I would love
Speaker 1: to be a member of a Soho house model that
Speaker 1: is owned by a black person, right, um, And so
Speaker 1: I just think that's something that you should think about.
Speaker 1: You're probably already working on it because you're like, oh, yes, already.
Speaker 1: It's like you're you're already no, no, no, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's basically the model of members um a membership, right,
Speaker 1: so there'll be different tiers, right, So that's kind of
Speaker 1: what the model is. But I want you to have
Speaker 1: a pool and then I want you to be in
Speaker 1: Miami with the pool and the beach the same exact
Speaker 1: way that the current SOHO house exists. Um. So the
Speaker 1: last question that I had and and and we know
Speaker 1: you got folks calling you and it's time for you
Speaker 1: to move on. I have two questions. One, we're still
Speaker 1: gonna see you in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn shop House, right,
Speaker 1: because that's my favorite, I know, Times Square, But I
Speaker 1: still need to be able to go to the bridge. Okay,
Speaker 1: say no more, but you got to see the new one.
Speaker 1: You got to see the new one. So hopefully I
Speaker 1: can get you there and uh you can experience that
Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, you know you're you're you're definitely
Speaker 1: um one of the early supporters and um, you know
Speaker 1: that's your house. Let me know whatever whatever whenever you
Speaker 1: want to go, just let let us let us know
Speaker 1: us in Lushawn Thompson, because Lushawn Thompson is your PR
Speaker 1: person that is unofficial, but she goes out tells everybody
Speaker 1: everybody she's amazing. The only other sean, the only other
Speaker 1: thing is just to make sure that people understand they
Speaker 1: still have to pay the cost of their plate and
Speaker 1: whatever the experience is. They just get a membership to
Speaker 1: be able to get in, but you still buy your food.
Speaker 1: People don't know that. People don't know that. People don't
Speaker 1: know that. I'm just telling you. You're right, that's that's correct,
Speaker 1: that's correct, unless unless, unless you get a higher tier membership.
Speaker 1: So what we're UM working on, what we're trying to
Speaker 1: formulate is a higher chair membership that actually comes with
Speaker 1: that culinary experience as well. Obviously it will be you know,
Speaker 1: a more expensive UM membership, but it will come with
Speaker 1: that culinary experience, and it will come with UM a
Speaker 1: certain amount of reservations per year for that. Oh so
Speaker 1: that's the one that I can't afford. But okay, I'm
Speaker 1: on to give me in the basis yet. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Thank you, man, Thank you for
Speaker 1: having me. Always on the cutting edge. Man, whether it's
Speaker 1: from music to the culinary space, You've always been on
Speaker 1: the cutting edge. And and I know you you're destined
Speaker 1: for even bigger things with this n f T. I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Maybe I can get on somebody's
Speaker 1: juice card that can afford the membership. Maybe they'll bring
Speaker 1: me as one of the guests. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get involved. But I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Love you man. Keep doing what you're doing. More success,
Speaker 1: keep doing it, man, Thank you, Thank you guys, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Man, dumb Pool Man, I've been you know,
Speaker 1: I've been in this industry for years and dumb who
Speaker 1: is one of the greats, you know, I was then
Speaker 1: when he found Seine. He's been with Foxy, so he
Speaker 1: did shine. I didn't know that you found San So
Speaker 1: just watching him continue to like he said, diversifying evolved
Speaker 1: into this and the Brooklyn chopouts is amazing. So I know,
Speaker 1: the new flagship restaurant probably times a million, and the
Speaker 1: whole membership that we can't afford, it's gonna be something extra.
Speaker 1: So hopefully, man, you know, don't pull a let us
Speaker 1: sneak in and peek at least peek. I don't need
Speaker 1: to eat nothing, just let me peek at you know.
Speaker 1: I'm getting chop outs. I just can't get to the top.
Speaker 1: The food is included. Pope no, you ain't. Don't say that.
Speaker 1: We don't claim being at all. We don't know, we don't. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: I just can't afford the top ten. You don't even
Speaker 1: know the price that we don't you start saying exclusive
Speaker 1: and all this. I see a number down here. That's
Speaker 1: a little crazy. I didn't even read that number because
Speaker 1: it hasn't been you know, said it was for sure.
Speaker 1: But I'm just not gonna that. I'm not that right there.
Speaker 1: I wonder if if that number is per year? No,
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's that's how do you just remembership starts? Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand what I'm asking you. Damn we should have
Speaker 1: asked who is that every year or once you and
Speaker 1: then you know what I'm saying, and that's the n
Speaker 1: f T. So you you probably would be about he
Speaker 1: probably have a certain amount that he sells for the
Speaker 1: first year, and then he probably sund more at a
Speaker 1: higher price until you know what I'm saying, then people
Speaker 1: will be able to sell him for more. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: gotta I need to know, because if you want to
Speaker 1: membership at the SOHO house, you pay like up to
Speaker 1: I think it's like five thousand dollars every year. So
Speaker 1: I just wonder if it's if an n f T
Speaker 1: works different. What the n f T is about for
Speaker 1: the n f T S is different because what it
Speaker 1: is is like they said, you buy the n f T,
Speaker 1: you own that n f T, so you own that token.
Speaker 1: So whatever comes with that token you can get. But
Speaker 1: that token can expire in a year. Maybe it doesn't expire.
Speaker 1: We have that. That's why you purchase because that's what
Speaker 1: the whole thing of the n f T is that
Speaker 1: you own. You own the n f T. But the
Speaker 1: n f T, I'm just trying to understand how you know,
Speaker 1: because that's what it is, is something that you own.
Speaker 1: You know. I can't stand when you learn stuff because
Speaker 1: then you become the super expert. Can't nobody tell you?
Speaker 1: You just asked me a question. I'm giving you the
Speaker 1: facts about the situation. How do you know? Because I've
Speaker 1: been studying, and when you buy the n f T,
Speaker 1: you own the n f T. It's not rental, No,
Speaker 1: it's no rental. So it happens is you can sell
Speaker 1: it for more, you can utilize it. You know, a
Speaker 1: different situation. But you can't, like he said, you can't
Speaker 1: sell a reservation for a night. No, you can sell
Speaker 1: your whole n f T and then you now that
Speaker 1: person owns the membership, you can sell your membership. Yeah
Speaker 1: I don't want to do Oh well, you want to
Speaker 1: sell your membership when the thing is like hot, hot,
Speaker 1: I paid this, I'm gonna need this. Yeah, well you
Speaker 1: might need to. And then what happens is after he
Speaker 1: do that, that he could say, you know what, we
Speaker 1: got overwhelming amount of people who want to be a
Speaker 1: part of this. We only had this much. We're gonna
Speaker 1: put twenty more on the market all these things now
Speaker 1: that the prices sky, and then you can sell Wow,
Speaker 1: we gotta really I gotta know more. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: just listen to what I'm saying, saying yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: I still you know what my problem is is I
Speaker 1: still see life as me giving to others. Like in
Speaker 1: my mind, I'm not thinking enough about how I can
Speaker 1: make this happen for myself. I'm over here thinking okay,
Speaker 1: so then if then how do I like if I
Speaker 1: buy one and then I sell it, how much more
Speaker 1: does he need me to sell it for so he
Speaker 1: could get a percentage? Like I need to learn retrain
Speaker 1: myself to also understand that I also can participate. The
Speaker 1: thing is, whenever you sell it, he's going to have
Speaker 1: when they sell you the n f T. When they
Speaker 1: sell it to you, it's gonna be the close that said,
Speaker 1: okay to resell it. If you resell this at such
Speaker 1: and such whatever, I get this percentage right, that's in
Speaker 1: the smart con So you're gonna already know how much
Speaker 1: you're gonna make because you would say, I gotta whatever.
Speaker 1: I got to give him this amount of percentage. So
Speaker 1: when you sell it, you're gonna know what you're gonna
Speaker 1: make it. Okay, Well, then I guess would make sense.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be, you know, trying to get more. Get close.
Speaker 1: I'm in tune now. The trouble I'm about to get
Speaker 1: rich man, this is what I'm talking about. You learn
Speaker 1: one thing, and how did richness come? Because you understand
Speaker 1: that when you understand the worth and the value that
Speaker 1: you have right and you utilize that the multifaceted that
Speaker 1: our lives are, that we have things that possess that
Speaker 1: are going to be historical sometimes and right now, if
Speaker 1: we utilize those things and make those n f T
Speaker 1: s at this time, we can get a lot of money.
Speaker 1: You know what I probably could have sold as an
Speaker 1: n f T me the you know, um well, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I was gonna say for the Women's March.
Speaker 1: You know, I wrote my speech that first exactly that
Speaker 1: you still sell it that That's what I'm trying to
Speaker 1: tell you. Understanding, you know who cares now, it's the
Speaker 1: people that love that speech and they're like, well, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I want that speech. And you put twenty
Speaker 1: of them as on in and then, pep, you can't
Speaker 1: put twenty of them if you wrote only one. Only
Speaker 1: one is the original, the all originals, because they you
Speaker 1: are giving them. You have to write it again and
Speaker 1: again and again. You can create. It's like books. If
Speaker 1: you put twelve with your books on the thing and
Speaker 1: you sell them, what's your autograph on it? And these
Speaker 1: are only they have their number that says this is
Speaker 1: the number only. These are only. These are authentic. The
Speaker 1: blockchain were authenticated. It stays there. Somebody buys it from you.
Speaker 1: But I thought the purpose of it is that it
Speaker 1: is this my physical speech that I wrote. There's only
Speaker 1: one of those, but it doesn't matter if it's only one.
Speaker 1: It's you, all right, and you signed. It's just like
Speaker 1: when you go to the thing. Somebody got ten ten
Speaker 1: pictures of the man like this and he signs over right. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then that means that I have to duplicate it. Somehow,
Speaker 1: you duplicated by something every time you duplicated. I think
Speaker 1: you're not understand what I'm saying. I'm saying I physically
Speaker 1: sat with a pen and paper and I wrote with
Speaker 1: a pen the speech. So I'm thinking that the value
Speaker 1: is that it is the the original. So how do
Speaker 1: I sell you can original? Because you still it's like
Speaker 1: you duplicated. You can duplicate the one thing that you had.
Speaker 1: You you signed all of these tents. This is the
Speaker 1: same thing that you are putting out to the world.
Speaker 1: But people can say only tenities in the world. What
Speaker 1: do you mean it can't be because I have to
Speaker 1: write it ten times? Don't have to What do you mean?
Speaker 1: It's that he said the nineteen keys to unlock the physical,
Speaker 1: you use the digital to unlock the physical. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I got I only have one piece of paper in
Speaker 1: my house that the speeches on. So you tell me
Speaker 1: how I'm gonna get that to ten people. What I'm
Speaker 1: trying to tell you is copy machine. You can you
Speaker 1: and recreate it like you can. You can copy it,
Speaker 1: but and you sign it. Right, it's your sick, it's authenticated.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of people like me that needed explain
Speaker 1: in five and six different ways, and I don't appreciate
Speaker 1: there was the main one that's on the paper you
Speaker 1: can sell at a remarkable Oh now you want to
Speaker 1: go to can because now it's the main paper. You
Speaker 1: can say for this month that I can physically send
Speaker 1: you the original paper, but you can have just like
Speaker 1: when people have copies of the picture they signed. Just
Speaker 1: having just having those words and know that there was
Speaker 1: authenticated by you, that came from you and the only
Speaker 1: place they can get it is from you gives it
Speaker 1: the value to me. All right, Okay, well you know
Speaker 1: I still have questions, but but I'm getting better, so
Speaker 1: that's enough. Anyway, Thank you for another dope episode. We
Speaker 1: appreciate you'all for always supporting us man. Shout out to
Speaker 1: nineteen Keys, Shout out to your brother down pool. You
Speaker 1: know could tendue to educate us man because I'm ready.
