Speaker 1: Nothing. I'll be okay. So let me ask this bring
Speaker 1: you big visit the new website today, Big Facts Paul
Speaker 1: dot com dot com is DJ screen, Big Fat Baby
Speaker 1: j Big Facts Crew, Clark Atlanta University HBCU in the Green.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest with us right now. One
Speaker 1: of the biggest financial literacy podcasts. You're out of, the
Speaker 1: Social Proof podcast with David shamp What's something my broke?
Speaker 1: What happen? You're not happening, You're not man. We just
Speaker 1: wanted to bring you in. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This is all about teaching you know, our youth and
Speaker 1: just everybody in general culture about uh, financial literacy, financial
Speaker 1: progression and everything. So I guess give everybody a little
Speaker 1: bit of your background in your story how you get
Speaker 1: into that space. Absolutely so, just real quick. As a
Speaker 1: as a kid, I was always like trying to make
Speaker 1: some money in some way, like and I don't know
Speaker 1: if kids are like born with it with that ambition,
Speaker 1: Like I'm breaking my leaves on my law and I
Speaker 1: don't know what makes me look across the street at
Speaker 1: my law like DAMG, I'm breaking my leaves. But she
Speaker 1: got leaves on her law and I wanted her, she'll
Speaker 1: pay me. I don't know what. I don't know what
Speaker 1: sparks that thought, you know, yeah, just born with that
Speaker 1: and just I tried everything to make some money. And
Speaker 1: then long story short, I worked at the cheesecake factory
Speaker 1: for six years. The last two and a half years
Speaker 1: I started a T shirt brand called Sleepers for Suckers.
Speaker 1: Geist was entrepreneurship and that was that kind of boomed
Speaker 1: off for you when you opened the Kiosk and Cumberland
Speaker 1: right well, I mean I was jumping, Like while I
Speaker 1: was working at the job, I was building a brange,
Speaker 1: so like I'm doubling up. But I really leaned into
Speaker 1: these T shirt sales, Like even while I'm at work,
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, back, come up, pull up, I'll
Speaker 1: come outside, get your shirt. I'm dropping off a drink,
Speaker 1: refild enjoy walk outside, serve my customer. Come back. And
Speaker 1: that was my husble until I actually left and then
Speaker 1: I then I opened the kiosk, and you know it
Speaker 1: was up from there. So what was that day? And
Speaker 1: we like to talk about that so on Big Fast
Speaker 1: we tell everybody, man, get a job, if you got
Speaker 1: to get a job, sustaining everything. But what was that
Speaker 1: day when it was like middle finger to the job.
Speaker 1: It was never that moment like actually, the exit from
Speaker 1: my job was when I started being grateful for the
Speaker 1: job and realizing why I'm there. So every day I
Speaker 1: get a chance, I go to the table and I'll say, hey, well,
Speaker 1: welcome to the cheesecake factory. I'm David Fisher. The day
Speaker 1: of salmon and mind he min he comes to broccoli
Speaker 1: and mashed potatoes. Every day I get a chance to
Speaker 1: work on my presentation skills. So I would slur my
Speaker 1: words and say fish of the day instead of fish
Speaker 1: of the day. But I'm like, dang, I get a
Speaker 1: chance to practice every day pronunciation because I know him
Speaker 1: be around the world speaking. I knew I was gonna
Speaker 1: have a microphone somewhere and I have to stop stop
Speaker 1: slurring my words. So I got excited. I got a
Speaker 1: chance to work on that. Every day, work on my
Speaker 1: sales skills. You cannot come to the cheesecake factory, sit
Speaker 1: at my table and not get a cheesecake at the end,
Speaker 1: no matter what you say to me. No I'm on
Speaker 1: a diet. No I'm not eating it. But I got
Speaker 1: a chance to. I don't care if they had a
Speaker 1: great experience. They gave me a good tip. But if
Speaker 1: I couldn't sell them more than what they then I'm like, dang,
Speaker 1: what did I do wrong? So I never was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I hate this job when I started. When I stopped
Speaker 1: saying I hate this job and understand why I'm there,
Speaker 1: that's when everything started to move. So basically, you're selling
Speaker 1: that cheesecake was like you raking the lady neighbors lead
Speaker 1: just getting better, like getting better at something. I don't
Speaker 1: care if your uber driver get better at it, Like
Speaker 1: I don't care if you just get better at something.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're late to the class every single class,
Speaker 1: that should be a problem and it should frustrate you
Speaker 1: why you can't get up and be somewhere on time,
Speaker 1: anywhere on time. So my job gave me a chance
Speaker 1: to work on me and that was the most amazing experience.
Speaker 1: What do you think of some of the first steps
Speaker 1: to become like to get in a better financial space?
Speaker 1: Where did that be credited? So my partner's still ain't
Speaker 1: got no bank accounts, They won't get no bank account Like,
Speaker 1: what should think some of those steps just to get
Speaker 1: yourself in a better financial s first step get around
Speaker 1: rich people, around people to make some money, because you
Speaker 1: don't think anything is wrong until you get around somebody
Speaker 1: who can point that out. Like I don't think anything
Speaker 1: wrong with having twenty tho dollars in credit card debt.
Speaker 1: It's like, get around somebody and they say, yo, you
Speaker 1: need to get out of that. I'm like, why would
Speaker 1: I get out of that. I don't gotta pay it
Speaker 1: right now. I can get the couch right now and
Speaker 1: just live it. I didn't know nothing's wrong with it,
Speaker 1: but you get around some people and it kind of
Speaker 1: opens up your mind to like what's broken in your
Speaker 1: own life. The second thing I would say is find
Speaker 1: out where you are financially. I made a post the
Speaker 1: other day. A homeless man with three dollars in his
Speaker 1: pocket has a higher net worth than probably eight of
Speaker 1: people here right now, because somebody might be in debt
Speaker 1: for forty and you're making money, but you don't have
Speaker 1: forty tho in the bank, meaning you are negative, like
Speaker 1: your network is. Yeah, Like, at least at least the
Speaker 1: homeless person doesn't own anybody. At least the homeless person
Speaker 1: doesn't have to pay forty dollars to get out of
Speaker 1: get out of the hole. So some of our goals
Speaker 1: right now should be to at least get to the
Speaker 1: net worth of a homeless person where I don't owe anything.
Speaker 1: Maybe I ain't got a whole lot, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying I would trade my life. Yeah, but let's start.
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't understand what people say. Your network
Speaker 1: is your net worth. But people have no idea what
Speaker 1: networth is or how they even describe it, how to
Speaker 1: define it for themselves. So it's just getting smarter and
Speaker 1: find out where we are financially. It's huge. So basically,
Speaker 1: like on the Social Proof, you take other people's businesses
Speaker 1: and you know, like their ideas, you find out where
Speaker 1: the holes are and then you explain to them how
Speaker 1: to properly plug those holes. Well, I got two parts.
Speaker 1: Um One, I interview really really successful people and get
Speaker 1: like a free coaching session. So if you've made millions, right,
Speaker 1: I'm asking you questions how you did it and uh.
Speaker 1: But on Saturdays, I just implemented Q and A where
Speaker 1: there's people who are making lesson to un fifty thousand
Speaker 1: or thou and they just started their business and they
Speaker 1: have questions. So I'm actually educating them because I had
Speaker 1: to get both sides. People like y'all want to be
Speaker 1: on the podcast, but you didn't accomplish much. But I
Speaker 1: have an affinity for the people who need some exposures.
Speaker 1: So I just did an episode with a guy ninety
Speaker 1: year old uh T shirt brand uh called Dope. It's
Speaker 1: it's d O P d O P E dominating on
Speaker 1: Purpose every Day's nineteen years old. I was able to
Speaker 1: like do a Q and A with him on how
Speaker 1: to build his brand. But through the Q and A
Speaker 1: and the exposure, mad people started buying shirts from to
Speaker 1: support and saying yo, we love what you're doing and
Speaker 1: moving forward. So yes, it's kind of two part. What's
Speaker 1: the biggest um success story that you feel like came
Speaker 1: from your podcast? Like you know how people tax you
Speaker 1: and be like, bro, thank you for this, Like which
Speaker 1: one of those moments it was the biggest one is
Speaker 1: the speaker, the actual guests that are on the podcast,
Speaker 1: because like when we're interviewing, their following goes crazy or
Speaker 1: whatever they're selling a lot of people buy it. So
Speaker 1: that's one success story. But it's really every day somebody's
Speaker 1: coming up to me DM me every single time I
Speaker 1: go to the airport. It's somebody that says, hey, man, yo,
Speaker 1: I got six cars because of your episode with Maddie
Speaker 1: Jared pushed man Mitch and they're showing me the cars,
Speaker 1: or you got a bunch of air BnB is because
Speaker 1: of the episode was zol And I'm it's these It's
Speaker 1: like these stories of people who they just didn't have
Speaker 1: their mind wasn't open to an idea. They didn't know
Speaker 1: this thing existed, and then they run it. I was
Speaker 1: at the airport the other day. Uh. This guy said, Yo,
Speaker 1: I never traded a stock before in my life. I
Speaker 1: watched the episode with Options Traders and he said, YO
Speaker 1: made fifty thou dollars. I said, you didn't have any
Speaker 1: background and in stock trading or anything. Said no, but
Speaker 1: I watched it. So I feel really good that UH
Speaker 1: built a career by highlighting people that deserve to be highlighted.
Speaker 1: So what made you start the morning meet up? UM?
Speaker 1: I wanted to get up earlier, give it a real
Speaker 1: with you we had. I had a coaching program at
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm like, yeo, I was getting up
Speaker 1: at like ten eleven o'clock every single day because I'm
Speaker 1: a entrepreneur, could do what I want stay up all
Speaker 1: night and just wake up. That that's part of the freedom.
Speaker 1: You get to wake up when you want to wake up.
Speaker 1: But um, I realized that I wanted to maximize the day,
Speaker 1: and there were certain things that I wanted to preach.
Speaker 1: I wanted to preach, like don't be lazy, get up earlier,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't because I wasn't doing it myself. And
Speaker 1: I told my call. I told my people, like, yo,
Speaker 1: let's get on the call a little earlier. Miles do
Speaker 1: nine o'clock. And I mean, we have like probably ten
Speaker 1: people that jumped on the nine o'clock and we were
Speaker 1: on there. We had a good day, and after the call,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm ready for the world. Let's go.
Speaker 1: I was inspired by being able to teach me and
Speaker 1: then it just kept growing, kept growing. Now we got
Speaker 1: over a thousand people on the morning meet up. We
Speaker 1: get on at seven forty five. Now it's a book club.
Speaker 1: It's a book club. We all we read like fifteen
Speaker 1: books together last year, cover to cover because we should
Speaker 1: read one chapter at the time. So, um, it's needed.
Speaker 1: I started because I needed that inspiration and community saved
Speaker 1: my life. But I know some people that are entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: You'll watch an interview or watch UM watch certain interviews
Speaker 1: were they're telling you how to. But if you're at
Speaker 1: home by yourself, learning how to may not help you.
Speaker 1: You need a group of people that's all looking to
Speaker 1: get to the next level to push So, uh, community,
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm when I'll be watching your stuff.
Speaker 1: Like some financial literacy people is like a time man.
Speaker 1: Don't buy no nice car, don't buy no jury, don't
Speaker 1: buy no, don't buy nothing. Right, But you kind of
Speaker 1: on the other side, you'll buy chain, you buy. You'll say,
Speaker 1: I just bought this, and I just bought that. What's
Speaker 1: what's what's kind of like your take on that because
Speaker 1: something I an't saying. The community is divided. But some
Speaker 1: of them are just like, don't buy anything. I don't
Speaker 1: never buy anything because it's not an asset. And so
Speaker 1: that's what they teach. What you kind of teach the contrary.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you are I think you should uh,
Speaker 1: I don't tell people what to buy if they you know,
Speaker 1: I think we live one time. It'd be a shame
Speaker 1: to like be a hermit where you're just saving all
Speaker 1: your money. You hit by bus, you know, what I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I want you to like live a good life, but
Speaker 1: there's a balance. So actually my my first watch was
Speaker 1: just on my first watch, I said I want this
Speaker 1: Rolex and it was like, I think I spent maybe
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand. It was like sixteen thou dollars, and I
Speaker 1: was like, dang, I can't bring myself to just spend
Speaker 1: sixteen dollars. Now I had the money, That's that's the key.
Speaker 1: I've been working hard and I had the money, but
Speaker 1: it's something I really wanted. So I said, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do an event to make the money to buy
Speaker 1: the watch. So I put on this concert creation workshop
Speaker 1: and I think it's like a thousand people. I think
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars and about thirty people came. So I
Speaker 1: specifically did that so I can have the watch, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, So I can have something that
Speaker 1: I wanted. I don't spend my money like it wasn't
Speaker 1: it wasn't playing money. But I think you can, like
Speaker 1: you create a lifestyle based around what you have. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, If you say, y'all gonna save
Speaker 1: ten percent of every single dollar that I have in
Speaker 1: this temper cent is my travel budget, however big that
Speaker 1: travel budget, Go take a trip. So you feel like
Speaker 1: you're living in your purpose about doing this? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's your last Purposely you still searching for your purpose purpose.
Speaker 1: I think my purpose is to um at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, to go to heaven after all this
Speaker 1: is over. So I don't think God cares whether I'm
Speaker 1: a financial education coach or high school basketball Personally, I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think he cares, right, But I
Speaker 1: think my purpose is to inspire people to be better.
Speaker 1: So at the end of all of this UM, we
Speaker 1: all go to a desirable place. When we started talking
Speaker 1: about purpose, passion is different. I'm I'm in my passion.
Speaker 1: I love talking to people, love educating people, love helping
Speaker 1: people and teaching entrepreneurship. What how much of a blessing
Speaker 1: has the word or the culture podcast been to you?
Speaker 1: I think we can all talk about this, but how
Speaker 1: much has it particularly been for you? See this chain
Speaker 1: man there now. I think it's cool because people are
Speaker 1: finally into voices, like they would listen to a voice
Speaker 1: if I got If I ask you, what are you
Speaker 1: listening to? If I ask you that question fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: you're automatically gonna tell me music. You'll you'll just go
Speaker 1: to an artist. I'm listen to jay Z right now.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the MX right now. But you can't
Speaker 1: just ask somebody that question right now and just get
Speaker 1: the music and be like, well, I'm listening to podcast
Speaker 1: and listening right. So now it's like a norm that,
Speaker 1: like people are interested in listening to voices and being educated.
Speaker 1: You know, we used to have I just want to
Speaker 1: post today. We used to have out of life size
Speaker 1: poster Alan Irison on my wall or like Biggie because
Speaker 1: of what they did, how do they make me feel,
Speaker 1: how they entertain me? Right? But now we have these
Speaker 1: voices of people that we listen to that were inspired by,
Speaker 1: Like people probably need to have y'all a poster or
Speaker 1: y'all owners say I want to be that. I want
Speaker 1: to get paid off my voice. I wanna get paid
Speaker 1: off like being able to have conversation with people. That's cool,
Speaker 1: and believe it or not, we make a lot more
Speaker 1: money than entertainers and keeping around with you. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's really really cool that that
Speaker 1: people are interested in education. People want to be they
Speaker 1: want to inspire to be what we're doing, not just
Speaker 1: shoot a ball or grab a microphone. So who some
Speaker 1: of your favorite podcasts? Big Facts, that's all. I got
Speaker 1: a good facts. I do like this Epithus. I like
Speaker 1: earlier leaders, of course, but U marketing school. It's like
Speaker 1: a five ten minute podcast where they're giving you some
Speaker 1: game on marketing five or ten minutes. It's not like
Speaker 1: marketing school. And I actually adopted that and I said, Yo,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a five minute Fridays where I'm teaching something
Speaker 1: five for five minutes. I literally looked at some of
Speaker 1: the analytics, like some of those episodes thirty three thousand,
Speaker 1: twenty thousand downloads, and I put out a lot of
Speaker 1: content and I just stole that concept and started teaching
Speaker 1: it in a way that my people can relate. And
Speaker 1: it's working out like a like a charm. What you
Speaker 1: got coming up? UM Social Group Alumni, October twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Last year, we did the first social proup when I'm
Speaker 1: Not where everybody has ever been on the podcast gets invited,
Speaker 1: I get a venue, unlimited drinks, unlimited food. Some of
Speaker 1: the some of the most amazing entrepreneurs in the world
Speaker 1: are connecting with each other. At this one event it
Speaker 1: was an all white party, and uh, it's just I
Speaker 1: had no agenda. I'm just saying I want to give back,
Speaker 1: Like I made a lot of money from being able
Speaker 1: to enter, not not even just like from YouTube and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, but being able to sit
Speaker 1: down and have a conversation. Once you get some game
Speaker 1: and apply it to my life, it's just been cuge.
Speaker 1: So that's my get back. This year, We're doing an
Speaker 1: all brown party and uh, it will be about three
Speaker 1: or four people there, all high level entrepreneurs that have
Speaker 1: been on the podcast. What's the motivation behind but were brown? Brown? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean we have some white people on the show,
Speaker 1: but all brown. It's gonna beautiful browns and tans and
Speaker 1: melanin and I just got a vision. It's gonna be dope.
Speaker 1: We're not getting big. What's the biggest gym you'll give to? Like,
Speaker 1: since we are in the college campus, Like, what's the
Speaker 1: biggest gym you'll get us? Somebody you know what I
Speaker 1: mean that uh that's trying to make it, maybe in
Speaker 1: their college dorm, or maybe somebody that's incarcerated, maybe somebody
Speaker 1: that's in the streets living a different like, what's the
Speaker 1: biggest gym you would tell or want to give to them? Um,
Speaker 1: I guess different advice on all three. But uh, if
Speaker 1: I had to like give one, lean into something and
Speaker 1: master it. Lean into something. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: people just go after money and they like do a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. Well, I'm gonna do hair and sell
Speaker 1: T shirts. And I leaned into podcasting. And sometimes when
Speaker 1: you lean into something, you gotta give up something that's
Speaker 1: paying you. So I had to drop I dropped some
Speaker 1: stuff that was paying me to go into something that
Speaker 1: wasn't paying me at the moment. But I believed in it.
Speaker 1: So I leaned into it, and I learned how it operates,
Speaker 1: and I learned how to make money and learn how
Speaker 1: to be better at it. But lean into something. We're
Speaker 1: just so widespread, man, But whatever you like, spend most
Speaker 1: of your time in it will grow period point black.
Speaker 1: So lean into something, man, that's that's that's the biggest
Speaker 1: thing that's not chasing all. This's different, just leaning. My
Speaker 1: dad gave me some of the best advice. He said, Um,
Speaker 1: whatever you do, just be the best at it. Lean
Speaker 1: into it. Be the best at it. He said, I
Speaker 1: don't want you to do this. But if you decide
Speaker 1: to sell drugs, don't be no average drug dealer bro like,
Speaker 1: be good at it, lean in like, figure out how
Speaker 1: do how to get coring, figure out how to make more,
Speaker 1: figure out how to bring more people exactly Like it's
Speaker 1: like if you're going to do if you're gonna make
Speaker 1: that decision, all the way with the decision back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that I was hugely Absolutely we appreciate you pulling up. Man,

Speaker 1: It is a little to David Shan's pulling up big facts. Great,
Speaker 1: It's absolutely don't bitch still live from Clark Atlanta University
Speaker 1: HBCU on the green DJ screen, Big Bank, Baby Jade,
Speaker 1: another special guests pulled up on us. We can sit
Speaker 1: on family at this point. Aristotle is here on Yeah HBC.
Speaker 1: What's up? What's up? Man? I'm doing great. What's been
Speaker 1: what's been the move since the last time you spoke
Speaker 1: to us? I guess give us some quick updates since
Speaker 1: the last time you said spoke with us? Live, I
Speaker 1: released like a live trading thing where I allow people
Speaker 1: to see me trade. So I just enjoy that live
Speaker 1: trade and showing people my screen, showing them how I
Speaker 1: make profits in the market. Um, I'm doing a live
Speaker 1: trading tour. Part I started a podcast just trying to
Speaker 1: like just talk, you know what I'm saying, Like I
Speaker 1: get like real relaxed, and then I just started talking,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then you know, so
Speaker 1: I I just have a knack for that, so you
Speaker 1: know I've been doing that. I also bought a um
Speaker 1: a big property, another property in my second house congression. Yea,
Speaker 1: I brought I bought it. It's it's well over a million,
Speaker 1: so you know that's just low key and then uh
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it just uh you know, changing the
Speaker 1: area and then moving to you know, a bigger house
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Do you do you think you
Speaker 1: think most black people I'm gonna say, do you think
Speaker 1: they are? And why? But do you think most black
Speaker 1: people are just scared the stock market? And if they are,
Speaker 1: why why do you think that is? Why do you
Speaker 1: think black holes are just scared of stuff? But they
Speaker 1: are scared to go to casino? Like we was just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I feel like, okay, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you gotta account for losses in life, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. No matter what, like, you gotta lose to win.
Speaker 1: So it's like, if why would I play poker or
Speaker 1: go to the casino and I got like, what a
Speaker 1: five ten percent chance of winning the game when I
Speaker 1: can do the stock market where there's things called high
Speaker 1: probability setups where I got an eighty to nine chance
Speaker 1: of winning. So that's how I look at it. I
Speaker 1: got a ten percent chance, a zero percent chance playing
Speaker 1: a lot of danger, zero point one percent. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You got like your eyes are stacked
Speaker 1: against you, so you know, you know the tern beat
Speaker 1: the eyes. The eyes are in your favor with trading
Speaker 1: because there are what it's called high probability set up
Speaker 1: and all you and they're like infinity stones, you know, like, uh,
Speaker 1: what is it? A? What's that up? Thing? You know
Speaker 1: you had those right, So higher probability set ups are
Speaker 1: like those. Once you get like about a good six
Speaker 1: of them, it's like you're real powerful. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you got like six ways to make
Speaker 1: money within the day, I got about twelve of them,
Speaker 1: but like, you got six ways to do it, and
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you in the game. So
Speaker 1: that's how I look at it. I think it's all
Speaker 1: all on what your program to do, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you you definitely learn how to shoot,
Speaker 1: dice and ship five six years old. As a kid,
Speaker 1: if I were teaching the stock market, it was more
Speaker 1: coming like now you got you like y'all, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Teaching people, so it's more coming for
Speaker 1: the youth. But like when you get of age, it's
Speaker 1: like you know what you know? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: In our community is really scared to learn some new ship.
Speaker 1: The sounds risky, you get what I'm saying. Like it
Speaker 1: sounds risky, like, okay, it worked for you, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that back then, so I'm gonna stay away
Speaker 1: from that. Just how needles to be comfort zone. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, But you're showing, you're showing the proof,
Speaker 1: like now you can actually work. It needs to feel like,
Speaker 1: but it can work for you. You You get what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because I went and trying and long fit that thou
Speaker 1: was off the back. That just how niggas think. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Yeah, because one is little at
Speaker 1: one time, like a dream. Don't get me wrong. Trading
Speaker 1: go against like a lot of human nature. Like we're
Speaker 1: naturally greedy. You get what I'm saying, so we naturally
Speaker 1: want to get rich quick. So if you get if
Speaker 1: you develop a mindset of okay, it's easy. I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I can tell all it. It's
Speaker 1: easy to make a four hunting in the day you
Speaker 1: capable of doing, You capable of doing, You capable of
Speaker 1: doing it. But the problem is you don't want fol hunting.
Speaker 1: You want twenty thousand. You want twenty thod, you want
Speaker 1: twenty thousand and first day you get what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: but show right, so you keep so you keep losing
Speaker 1: and losing, chasing this big game when you could have
Speaker 1: just made four hunted. Because think it's two fifty trading day,
Speaker 1: so if you made four hunt the day, that's a
Speaker 1: d K. So everybody could technically get six figures off
Speaker 1: this thing if they stayed disciplined and just say, I
Speaker 1: just won't foe hunted out the market every day. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't do that. They want to
Speaker 1: and I tell people, get your money walk away, But
Speaker 1: then it do be hard because they'll see somebody like me, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're making ten thousands a day, you're making four thousands
Speaker 1: a day. I don't want to do that. Why do
Speaker 1: I gotta keep making four hunting? Why do I gotta
Speaker 1: keep making five hundred thousand? I said, gradually get used
Speaker 1: to making something. But it's it's it got to be systematized.
Speaker 1: Like for instance, I tell people, Okay, if you want
Speaker 1: to trade right, let's say you got right, and if
Speaker 1: I had a finger right, you got and you're gonna
Speaker 1: use your account at a time, So that's five hundred
Speaker 1: per trade right, So you got five times right to
Speaker 1: use five hundred dollars. So let's just say with this
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. I used five hundred to you know,
Speaker 1: to go into a trade, but then I take profits.
Speaker 1: That's a hundred dollars. You get what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: do it again. So what I'm doing is I'm using
Speaker 1: more size but taking out less, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But then it makes but then it looks big. So
Speaker 1: I'm using five hundred to make one hundred. You get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But see, the thing is some people
Speaker 1: want to flip the tent, and I'll be like, leverage it.
Speaker 1: You take bits of it at a time, so you
Speaker 1: don't so you don't want to go all in. So
Speaker 1: that's why say of your account, so you got eighty
Speaker 1: percent left to try again. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And that's what it's really about. It's about rec management,
Speaker 1: and I learned that or anything. It could be business,
Speaker 1: it could be this, it could be this podcast. Y'all
Speaker 1: gotta have some type of budget and risk management to it.
Speaker 1: You can't just say, okay, we're about to blow five
Speaker 1: Hunter Racks on Jay Z interview. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: When you could have put that five money. I won't
Speaker 1: pay any right, but you get what I'm saying, all right,
Speaker 1: when you could have just uh, you know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: use that money wisely. Don't put all your airs in
Speaker 1: one basket, for sure. But it makes sense to you
Speaker 1: though it's dud what I'm saying. It don't make sense
Speaker 1: when you when you do. It's a foreign language. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two niggas, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's why
Speaker 1: it's like it's for the niggas who actually do it.
Speaker 1: They get really paid off of it because wide open,
Speaker 1: we're not stepping into it. That's why they're smart for
Speaker 1: you to part start the podcast. I'll be looking at
Speaker 1: your ship every time. I'm learning slowly slowly and I'm
Speaker 1: still on the sea, like okay, I probably could. It's
Speaker 1: the same thing is going to the casino with less
Speaker 1: rich like you said, exactly, as long as you can
Speaker 1: be discipline, this one is the main thing. So if
Speaker 1: I want to dump out of and make like you said,
Speaker 1: I want to make me a thutter this fir day day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you feel me. When it took somebody who doing that
Speaker 1: five years to be able to do that. You get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying like it took me five years to
Speaker 1: learn how to make the ten thousand in a day.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. So, and I consider myself
Speaker 1: a smart person. I consider myself to be somebody who
Speaker 1: reads every day. So what I tell people this isn't
Speaker 1: something you can look your way into. It's something you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like down, that's like if I
Speaker 1: was trying to become or anybody was trying to become
Speaker 1: a big facts, they can't look themselves into just blowing up.
Speaker 1: Y'all know, it's gonna take consistency. What what episode? Y'all
Speaker 1: long one four hundred and thirty four episodes and they
Speaker 1: mean y'all doing one whatever every other week every week,
Speaker 1: So it's fifty two weeks in a year. So you'll
Speaker 1: have been doing this for about almost two and three
Speaker 1: years when a half years, right, So people got to realize, Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't just jump and just become big fast right away.
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a hundred something episode. You've got a
Speaker 1: lot of catching up to do, so you don't got it.
Speaker 1: So I say that to say, don't compare your chatter
Speaker 1: one to somebody chat the team fact, you know, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, realize you won't chatter one. But a
Speaker 1: lot of people are not willing to go through the grind,
Speaker 1: the long grind. Everybody want to be on. They want
Speaker 1: to get go to Chatter one and be on Chatter
Speaker 1: five tomorrow. If they not, don't chat to fire quit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm saying like, that's and I realized that with anything,
Speaker 1: Like I really I ain't gonna like hotspire to be
Speaker 1: a good real estate person one day. But I understand that.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, for one is gonna take
Speaker 1: a mentor the two is gonna take I'm gonna chatter one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some mistakes I got. I'm understandings. You
Speaker 1: feel me, I'm gonna lose. I understand I'm accounting for
Speaker 1: all that. When you learned that first that you're about
Speaker 1: to lose, or you already know you're about to lose,
Speaker 1: that's when you're gonna in fel You just gotta I
Speaker 1: tell people, honestly, you gotta have that cash flow. Cash flow.
Speaker 1: You gotta have money to make money. A lot of
Speaker 1: people problem is, okay, they don't have a machine power
Speaker 1: in their dreams. You know what I'm saying, like a
Speaker 1: record label is a machine power and somebody's dreams. Or
Speaker 1: I got this job, but I'm using my second stream
Speaker 1: of income to power stops real estate something. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, your second but it takes two strings income.
Speaker 1: You feel me, your second income gotta be the one
Speaker 1: to power something, power to third you know what. That's
Speaker 1: really how it is, but you But the thing is
Speaker 1: most people don't realize you really do need to strings
Speaker 1: of income. It's it's unless you make such a big
Speaker 1: stream or income off your one and you're living out
Speaker 1: half of it. Like let's just say you got a
Speaker 1: good six figure paying job that is eighty or eight thousand,
Speaker 1: three hundred a month, eight thousand, three hundred a month,
Speaker 1: right if you make six figures in the year. So
Speaker 1: if you were smart, you wouldn't go get a five
Speaker 1: thousand dollar condo just because you make six eight thousand
Speaker 1: a month. What people do that? They're like with ship,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have three thousand lefts. You know what I
Speaker 1: would do two thousand dollar a month apartment because you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Hey did what it is? See
Speaker 1: that's how I was living. You feel me like like
Speaker 1: I was living like really below my means, like I
Speaker 1: live off my army money, and then I invested my
Speaker 1: barber money. So my army money was nothing, but I
Speaker 1: mean it was something. It was third eight hundred a month,
Speaker 1: but I still save all that I was living on
Speaker 1: maybe a month, but I was making third eight hundred
Speaker 1: a month off the army. So I'm already saving. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like like thirt hunting or whatever.
Speaker 1: That the number is right, then I'm investing all of
Speaker 1: my barber money too, so I'm in. Then I'm putting
Speaker 1: in four thousands. I'm powering my dreams with with the
Speaker 1: four thousand, with this four thousand dollar machine a month.
Speaker 1: So even if I lose this four thousand next month,
Speaker 1: I will make it again. Learned I learned something from
Speaker 1: that last four thousand I lost. But at least I
Speaker 1: know how to bring in something to where I can
Speaker 1: just keep doing this, keep doing it and then soon.
Speaker 1: But I didn't quit, you know what I'm saying. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I might, I might have lost some money, but I
Speaker 1: but I knew cut here already know. I'm a barber,
Speaker 1: I'm a machine. I'm gonna get that three thousand back
Speaker 1: and go and go put in the stock market, go
Speaker 1: put into something you feel me? Yeah? Yeah, So do
Speaker 1: you do like some mentoring? Do you do you do
Speaker 1: mentoring the mentorship type stuff too? Yeah? Now I do.
Speaker 1: At first, I didn't because it was taking up time
Speaker 1: and I like to do things and vote. But now
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I got the time to
Speaker 1: like sit down. I had the free my time of it.
Speaker 1: So I had to let go with like like Buddy
Speaker 1: said the last podcast, sometimes you gotta put something away
Speaker 1: so you can go and start something. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and it's gonna grow. So I was making
Speaker 1: like a hundred and fifty thousand a month off something
Speaker 1: I was doing right, but I had to be there,
Speaker 1: um every I would say three days out the week,
Speaker 1: two hours for two hours when I said I'm gonna
Speaker 1: need that two hours back because I got something that
Speaker 1: could potentially make me instead of a a hundred k a month,
Speaker 1: maybe five K month, even though I ain't make a
Speaker 1: dime off of it, yet I believe in it. You
Speaker 1: feel me. So it's like, now I ain't gonna I
Speaker 1: made some money off of it, but it's like I'm
Speaker 1: learning that too. You need a lot of time. And
Speaker 1: for me as a CEO, I'm like, Okay, I need
Speaker 1: all the time I can get so I can work
Speaker 1: and think. I need to free up all my time
Speaker 1: so I don't need to be cleaning the house. I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta go get some maze. I gotta invest
Speaker 1: in myself. I don't need to be worried about my account.
Speaker 1: I need somebody knowing who I trust, looking over there
Speaker 1: money while I go. Everything I need. I need a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff taken care of so I can free
Speaker 1: my time to think. And a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: realize that too. Once you start, Once you start grinding first,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have no time. I didn't have no time.
Speaker 1: I was in the army. As soon as I get
Speaker 1: off cut here no time. But you gotta go through
Speaker 1: that that no time to free yourself. You get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, get you some time. So now that I
Speaker 1: got time, and it's a wrap, and you gotta get
Speaker 1: passive income. A lot of people income is acting. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, Like, I'm pretty sure y'all got
Speaker 1: totally similar to check to check you're you're you have
Speaker 1: to be physically there to make that money. You gotta,
Speaker 1: you gotta. Your goal should be to make as much
Speaker 1: money while you're not physically there, or you're gonna be
Speaker 1: forever in the rat race. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I tell people that all the time, Like they'd
Speaker 1: be like, how do I get rich? How do I
Speaker 1: get rich? I said, you gotta make some money while
Speaker 1: you're not there. The only way I know that's really
Speaker 1: possible is is online money. Yeah, the only thing I
Speaker 1: know that makes that much money while you're not physically there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta do content, but you can record at one
Speaker 1: time and sell it. You know what I'm saying. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. Were all gonna be actively working. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I tell somebody nobody technically retired.
Speaker 1: Tyler Perris still working, Steve Harvey still working, Oprah still working. Uh,
Speaker 1: Bill Gates finally stopped working. You feel me like you
Speaker 1: never really retired. And once you realized that too, that
Speaker 1: sometimes it becomes about it's not about the money no more.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you can live off the next five
Speaker 1: year with the money you got, right, all of you,
Speaker 1: all of you could. But you understand, like the way
Speaker 1: you want to love she take in inflation is inflating? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of that money becoming live in my news, Right, you
Speaker 1: got to go the class again. Yeah, nah, I can't
Speaker 1: can't do that. Nah, But that's but work because I
Speaker 1: got them can't no more. That's how I feel too
Speaker 1: that in my opinion, So why do y'all work? Like
Speaker 1: what what's your purpose? Is? Just? I just work because
Speaker 1: they didn't keep my mind from from just being flat,
Speaker 1: Like you working what you're doing? That's what I say.
Speaker 1: But then some people would say, why is our society
Speaker 1: based on money? Thinks when when you're trying and work
Speaker 1: with purpose tools, I think everybody yet working working. It's
Speaker 1: not like it's not work for us. It's just like
Speaker 1: we're doing something that we love to do. But we
Speaker 1: do understand that in the process of this being something
Speaker 1: that we love to do, we need to continue trying
Speaker 1: to perfect our crafts so that we can be the
Speaker 1: best of what we're doing also maximize the most out
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, Yeah, that's how I feel about me.
Speaker 1: Like the reason I get up every day and do
Speaker 1: it because it's it's bigger than me. Like so, like
Speaker 1: I didn't know until I started traveling, Like I go
Speaker 1: to the airport, I go, anywhere I go out of
Speaker 1: the country, no matter what city I go, people can
Speaker 1: literally spot me in traffic. I can be in my car,
Speaker 1: don't matter. They just know it's me. They're like, man,
Speaker 1: you changed my life, you change this, you did this.
Speaker 1: It's like I didn't know it was that big and
Speaker 1: started traveling. So now that gave me a purpose of Okay,
Speaker 1: people listening, people really taking heed to what I say.
Speaker 1: I'm actually influential and a big part of this culture.
Speaker 1: So you know, you don't know that you're just making content.
Speaker 1: I thought nothing of it. I'm thinking this Instagram is
Speaker 1: doing it right. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just a businessman really at heart. First I
Speaker 1: come in as a businessman. You know, of course I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make a change. But you don't believe you
Speaker 1: can make it that big of a change, or you
Speaker 1: from what we from you like this is I'm way
Speaker 1: too small. I don't know these rappers. I don't know nobody.
Speaker 1: I'm too small for this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: My mind still kind of like that, like I don't
Speaker 1: know how big this is. I'm just recently starting to
Speaker 1: understand how big it is. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like the impact and stuff at this point, now, since
Speaker 1: you are financially well off, well motivates you, Like when
Speaker 1: you get up in the morning, what's what's your what's
Speaker 1: your main motivation? I'm living for like my legacy, my family, UM,
Speaker 1: my last name. Uh, it's a it's a sense of
Speaker 1: pride to get up and not quit after a while sometimes.
Speaker 1: And it's not about proving haters row. It's not even
Speaker 1: about them. It's about me what I stand for, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I believe your life is
Speaker 1: a book, and if you're write in that book and
Speaker 1: you you know, let's just say I'm on chapter ten, right,
Speaker 1: I feel like I got another sixty seven ago, you
Speaker 1: know whatever. I don't want this book of mine to
Speaker 1: say I quit at chapter ten. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's but it's really about me. And I feel like
Speaker 1: once you stop living for other people approval, you start
Speaker 1: to blossom in life. Like and they what they say
Speaker 1: if you live for their approval or die by their rejection.
Speaker 1: So I literally don't care how I look to other people,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Not how I look physically,
Speaker 1: how much money. I don't really care what they think,
Speaker 1: and that helps me keep going to a mind of like,
Speaker 1: I'm not living for your approval because I ain't trying
Speaker 1: to die by your aggestion. Because the moment they say
Speaker 1: they're all right with you no more, that's when you
Speaker 1: become depressed. You get what I'm saying, The moment they're
Speaker 1: not feeding into what you put out, you become depressed.
Speaker 1: So just put it out without all that ego, and
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, congratulate me. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, yeah, you definitely gotta say fuck you critics.
Speaker 1: You gotta say that basically protect your energy, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and then learning how to say know
Speaker 1: all that. Sure, you know what I'm saying. It's easy
Speaker 1: for you to say no, yeah, yeah now I used
Speaker 1: to Yeah. Now it's easy to say no. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because so you gotta be then asshole
Speaker 1: order to be happy. Yeah, but it's still for me,
Speaker 1: like it's easier to say no, but it's still kind
Speaker 1: of hard when it comes to the people that I
Speaker 1: really love and care about because it's not that I
Speaker 1: really give a funk about what they think. But internally
Speaker 1: I just hate letting people down. So it's kind of like, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't really want to do this ship. But if
Speaker 1: I can figure out a way and it doesn't like
Speaker 1: affect me too bad, then I'm gonna hand and do it,
Speaker 1: Like if I really love you that much. You are
Speaker 1: so a female, so it'sn't your nature. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying to at this point, Well amn, right now, personally,
Speaker 1: I don't said what it is. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. There's no, it's no because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm keep saying all these
Speaker 1: this is to you. I'm eventually had to tell myself though,
Speaker 1: yeah or some ship, I won't you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: many times I say now I ain't gonna go by
Speaker 1: that car, but then I tell you, yes, I ain't
Speaker 1: got money for me, But I say yes, because you
Speaker 1: got a problem. Yeah, that's out the one, right. I
Speaker 1: had to learn that at a young age, and like
Speaker 1: I had learned at old age like not to because
Speaker 1: you know, I became a millionaire, was twenty three now
Speaker 1: twenty six, so you know, being twenty six, if they
Speaker 1: see uh, but I but I had six figures is
Speaker 1: our twenty two? I made my first six. No, I
Speaker 1: made my first six at twenty one, half a meal
Speaker 1: at twenty two, millionaire twenty three. So in my opinion,
Speaker 1: I had money for six years. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I've been living like a big dollar for six years.
Speaker 1: But you know, if people only see three, you don't
Speaker 1: say that's how long I've been doing it, you know,
Speaker 1: popping on. So yeah, So and I made my first
Speaker 1: meal when I was in the army, you get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So like it was, it was a lot
Speaker 1: that went to get in that first million, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But once I got it, I had
Speaker 1: to realize, Like when I made this million, I was
Speaker 1: in Savannah with just me, my wife, and my son.
Speaker 1: That was it. You get what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 1: weird to me when I moved back home to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: How many people like feel like, yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, that's weird to me. I was all
Speaker 1: on in Savannah when I made this, You get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I wouldn't even know where near this I
Speaker 1: was in the army, dug Off, You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And then you know if I didn't, if I wasn't
Speaker 1: this big, you wouldn't even talk to me, do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Right, So it's like I don't
Speaker 1: allow people to attach themselves to me. Yeah, if people
Speaker 1: don't like that about me, but they don't realize I
Speaker 1: understand how I got this. It would me, my wife
Speaker 1: and my son. It was it. So I don't allow
Speaker 1: people to leach off me and this and that. And
Speaker 1: I had to learn that just moving like they have
Speaker 1: a right to feel entitled, but they can't. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I would go on for six years,
Speaker 1: I was in the army, I joined the eight team
Speaker 1: maybe my millionaire twenty three, so I was gone nowhere
Speaker 1: near home, you feel, Yeah, So like like it's easier
Speaker 1: for me to say no too, because I couldn't imagine
Speaker 1: if I grew up like if I was in If
Speaker 1: I was, it would have been worse for show, like
Speaker 1: if people would have saw. But I had to learn
Speaker 1: that too. If you want to be you gotta make
Speaker 1: yourself less successible in order to boost your value. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, I'm pretty sure what that's a
Speaker 1: four day law power and yeah, like you gotta make
Speaker 1: itself less successible to boost your power. So I had
Speaker 1: to learn that too, Like if you got a brand
Speaker 1: or if you got something, yeah, you gotta pop out.
Speaker 1: But let's look at the old days. Was the king
Speaker 1: in the middle of the damn village back in the
Speaker 1: day every day if he if he was, you got,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, they'll take advantage on they want to take him. Here.
Speaker 1: I see this man every day. He's nothing to me.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He's just like us. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. So I tell all kings, when
Speaker 1: you start getting that paper and this and that, become
Speaker 1: less and less accessible on purpose to boost your value
Speaker 1: and for people to take your time and you serious,
Speaker 1: you can as I always see, they feel like they know,
Speaker 1: they really know. For show they said, we'll not get
Speaker 1: big and giving the gems. Man, you know we're on
Speaker 1: were Clark Atlanta University. What would you say to that
Speaker 1: kid in their during room, that freshmen, what would you
Speaker 1: say to brother incarcerated, to anybody in the streets about
Speaker 1: how they can progress their situation or progress their situation financially.
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to progress the situation financially. I figured
Speaker 1: out that it was easy. Now people are gonna say
Speaker 1: it it's hard, but I think it's easy. I always
Speaker 1: tell them the same form I preached this. It hasn't
Speaker 1: changed because this is how I got wealthy. It's to
Speaker 1: literally live extremely below your means. Stop worried about what
Speaker 1: everybody's saying about you. Stop trying to compete with other
Speaker 1: young men, because y'all gotta realize we gotta humble our sails.
Speaker 1: We don't got nothing. We eighteen nineteen. We don't have ship.
Speaker 1: We can keep trying to wear the fake chains on Instagram,
Speaker 1: buying the vcits camaros. I did all of that. You
Speaker 1: feel me all that trying to prove that we rich
Speaker 1: at eight. Just humble yourself because because that's what I
Speaker 1: had to do. At twenty, I said, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: cut I'm gonna stop playing video game. I'm gonna stop
Speaker 1: buying Jordan's every weekend. I'm a humble myself. I don't
Speaker 1: care what you think I got on. I don't care
Speaker 1: about going to the club every weekend. I don't care
Speaker 1: about you know what I'm saying, having ten girls. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I had to stop caring about everything.
Speaker 1: I gave up all that and said, I gotta go
Speaker 1: get this money real quick. Because it was Tupac who
Speaker 1: made me realize this and that kindra Lamar so immortal man.
Speaker 1: He said, while you're young, that's when you got to
Speaker 1: go hustle the most, while you still want to fight back,
Speaker 1: while you still want to live weights, while you still
Speaker 1: allowed mouth and proud and everything, while you still got
Speaker 1: all that energy. And it really motivated me because I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing here like literally conform into society, going to
Speaker 1: the club every weekend, worried about who got the most holes,
Speaker 1: you know, girls, worried about all that. I was just
Speaker 1: a regular you know what I'm saying. Dude, and I
Speaker 1: had and I realized had to isolate myself and they
Speaker 1: will be okay. So a lot of dudes would be
Speaker 1: afraid of that, like let me walk away from my
Speaker 1: homies because we've been we've been banging together for a minute,
Speaker 1: or we've been in the streets, or Gus, my brother,
Speaker 1: he gonna say, I'm el nigger if I if I
Speaker 1: move and do my own thing. A lot of people
Speaker 1: be afraid to branch off. But see you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta tell him. Look, I got my life, You got
Speaker 1: your life, no facts, because everybody everything ain't just because
Speaker 1: something for you. Don't mean this for him. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, be trying to drag him on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he dragging yourself down. And he and you quit because
Speaker 1: he quit, Well, you ain't got the motivation. I ain't
Speaker 1: got the motivation. It don't go like that, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I had to let it, and
Speaker 1: I tell dudes that to be it. Don't be afraid
Speaker 1: to walk alone. Fact. See, I feel like most men
Speaker 1: who come together and do something already was on the
Speaker 1: path to doing something, and they aligned. You had motion,
Speaker 1: he had motions, she had emotion. Y'all aligned. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like you f u uft up and you are trying
Speaker 1: to drag somebody up. You feel me like, I feel
Speaker 1: like when you start making that money, you're gonna start
Speaker 1: be in places where people make money. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like it's like the law of attraction, and
Speaker 1: I don't know how it is. You get what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: for instance, I ran into David on the way here
Speaker 1: because I'm on the way to big facts too. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But I've been knew him, But
Speaker 1: what if I wanted to network with him or something
Speaker 1: like that. So it's like, humble yourself, save your money,
Speaker 1: get us, get one streamer, and come figure out what
Speaker 1: the next stream gonna be and save a hundred percent
Speaker 1: of that. Don't lifestyle creep, don't even touch that new
Speaker 1: money you're about to make. So you got one whatever
Speaker 1: that first stream, you gotta homeble yourself enough to live
Speaker 1: all the way off you got to, or you're not
Speaker 1: gonna make it. A lot of people don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. Like when somebody tell me or my mama
Speaker 1: worked two jobs to take care of us. That's cool
Speaker 1: and all, but we should only take one. You get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because that means, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: the lifestyle is in there. Or of course people fathers
Speaker 1: don't be president. You know it'd be situations. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you shouldn't. You shouldn't have to work
Speaker 1: two jobs to support your life all of your times
Speaker 1: when one job you posted to live off of, the
Speaker 1: other you post to use as a machine the power
Speaker 1: of it. So if I was in college, i would
Speaker 1: if I was in college. Personally, I'd probably be a barber.
Speaker 1: I'd probably be a party promoter. I'd probably be that guy,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But see, I was in
Speaker 1: the military, and yes that I became that guy as
Speaker 1: soon as I went in there. I'm always gonna be
Speaker 1: that guy no matter where I go, to be bringing
Speaker 1: in some money, no matter what. That was me since
Speaker 1: out nine years old, when I was in when I
Speaker 1: was an apartment saw Cleveland, I would take can out trash.
Speaker 1: I was that guy. And I was and I was
Speaker 1: walking the kid home for ten dollars a week. I
Speaker 1: was that guy said nine years old. Yeah, you get
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I was. I was somebody security ten
Speaker 1: years old, making sure he you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: His mom paid me ten dollars a week. And I'm
Speaker 1: taking out trash on taking out trash in the mornings
Speaker 1: and then uh on the weekdays, I'm walking the kids home,
Speaker 1: always making money. Since I was nine, when I was
Speaker 1: in school, I sold candy. I was always that guy
Speaker 1: to plug and play himself in any situation. What I
Speaker 1: mean and capitalized. I got. All you gotta do is
Speaker 1: see what do people need how can I add value?
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. So that's how you do it.
Speaker 1: Usually gotta say, Okay, what can I supply these folks?
Speaker 1: What can I take advantage of? When I was in Kansas,
Speaker 1: I was a sneakeryseller. Why because I live in Kansas.
Speaker 1: White people ain't buying Jordans like we are see in Atlanta. Uh,
Speaker 1: the line gonna be fifty people and it's only twenty days.
Speaker 1: And there you get what I'm saying, only twenty jays.
Speaker 1: It's fifty people in that line Kansas, five people on
Speaker 1: this line. So you know, I'm always that type of think.
Speaker 1: It's five people in that line that Jordan costs a
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty stopped, I can go put it on
Speaker 1: eBay for two fifty. That's what I did at seventeen
Speaker 1: years old. That was so I've been selling online since
Speaker 1: seventeen and that was in I made my first thousand
Speaker 1: online at seventeen. Yeah, so yeah, so I've been I've
Speaker 1: been doing it for a minute. And you know how
Speaker 1: like some people be like, what was it about you
Speaker 1: in the past that makes you a millionaire? Now? I
Speaker 1: didn't notice it until I got older and said, damn,
Speaker 1: I've been hustling my whole damn Like I've always been
Speaker 1: that guy because I was nine years old to go
Speaker 1: get some money. In every single situation I've ever been
Speaker 1: in I'm talking about, I am not. I have not
Speaker 1: had a job because I was sixteen. You think, you
Speaker 1: think for some people that's just how it is. Some
Speaker 1: people gathering. Some people don't bosses, and we gotta workers
Speaker 1: with bosses everybody can, I think? So I think God
Speaker 1: has chosen people, and I think it was just I
Speaker 1: had a hustler spirit, Like my parents never told me
Speaker 1: to go do that. Those are all my ideas since
Speaker 1: nine years old. You know what I'm saying. But I
Speaker 1: didn't have the the best grades I did. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. All the way up into high school,
Speaker 1: I took all that band's classes, so I wasn't no dummy.
Speaker 1: I took a p classes. I always had on the
Speaker 1: roll all up to high school because I found out

Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And you know and what you'all talking
Speaker 1: about and the way you're talking about it, people are
Speaker 1: afraid to do it. That's why I'm missed with y'all,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep messing with You'll know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying of the HBC on the everybody that's going to
Speaker 1: see this, Yeah, the green. You know, when you just
Speaker 1: think about look where we're at right now, we're on
Speaker 1: the green. You know what I'm saying. When you think
Speaker 1: about the campus and you go to the center of
Speaker 1: campus where everybody's stepping, where you might get in to
Speaker 1: a fight, where you do whatever, you might have a debate,
Speaker 1: You're gonna do that on the green. So everybody comes
Speaker 1: to the green and do whatever you're gonna do. Inspire
Speaker 1: people poetry and you know, um, you know, mentor each other,
Speaker 1: you know, and just a community sell some ship. So
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, HPC on the Green
Speaker 1: is a is a fencet company slash merchandizing company. Right,
Speaker 1: So we got the collegiate license to do merchandise for
Speaker 1: over seventy historical Black colleges and Brandon is everything. I'm
Speaker 1: a brand guy. I come up in the nineties, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think Brandon is important because if people don't
Speaker 1: know who you are, you know, how how how are
Speaker 1: you're gonna do whatever you're gonna do? So we stop it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: get them yeah, yeah, yeah, no downtown okay, cool, no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna and you'll know you're gonna cut this up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just HPC on the Green. You know, it's a company.
Speaker 1: It's the fintech company where I love fintech. Although it's
Speaker 1: you know, a new um kind of a new space
Speaker 1: with banking. We're able to capture data and you know,
Speaker 1: we're able to capture the data so that we can
Speaker 1: better serve the community. Right. So, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I always was a trendsetter, you know, I
Speaker 1: like the pioneer things. So if we have this license,
Speaker 1: we have to think what else can we do with
Speaker 1: the lights is the Hawk merchandise. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: that's that's not that's not the big idea. That's not
Speaker 1: gonna you know, save lives. So what we did was
Speaker 1: we found avoid something that's never been done, was to
Speaker 1: get the schools on these reloadable debit cards and gift
Speaker 1: cards so we can start these students on their financial journey. Right,
Speaker 1: So we do gotta get that off for gotta go.
Speaker 1: We can give it sure, So what what what's the
Speaker 1: follow up to this? The follow up? The follow up
Speaker 1: to this is um to take will be done here.
Speaker 1: Obviously this is our first one, you know, obviously you
Speaker 1: get the chance to see after you do something, how
Speaker 1: we can make things better. I'm super happy we gotta
Speaker 1: you know, we part lived with master Card on this,
Speaker 1: on this initiative. They they've been a great partner. Right
Speaker 1: on did the come on board. They already was doing
Speaker 1: great work in the space, you know, giving money to
Speaker 1: Howard and all these Verbier schools and even more House
Speaker 1: and um and Spellman and and and and I can
Speaker 1: see that they're authentically want to see change, right, So
Speaker 1: what some he natural A lot of times you might
Speaker 1: have a corporation. They try to do with their selves.
Speaker 1: I think I think the best way for what to
Speaker 1: get the community is partner with people that's in the
Speaker 1: culture that can add value and do it in the
Speaker 1: best way possible. So we use our relationships. Right. We
Speaker 1: got Big Fat Show Boom. We come to a Big
Speaker 1: Fat show. We bring them on the campus. We have
Speaker 1: a relationship with Terrice J Tervice J. We could call
Speaker 1: him on the phone. We don't got to go to
Speaker 1: a thousand people your terms. What's going on? We got
Speaker 1: something going on hpc US and he showed up and
Speaker 1: and it keeps going on and on. Right, So I
Speaker 1: feel like this is just the beginning of of a
Speaker 1: lot of things we could do. We got a black
Speaker 1: own hair products company which is Talia, who's a good friend.
Speaker 1: She's out of Hallum. She has you know, she has um.
Speaker 1: You know hair shows that yeare with thirty thousand people
Speaker 1: come to. So when we think about a natural partner,
Speaker 1: we would have a Talia brand where they got Jimmy's
Speaker 1: hair products and they also have the natural here for
Speaker 1: the females. We got black black people with a lot
Speaker 1: of natur here. So they're making the products that actually
Speaker 1: work when they get those products and I can see
Speaker 1: they're using it, they're putting in here, They're like, yo, listen,
Speaker 1: I finally have something for me. So that's what we
Speaker 1: want to do. We want to create design back and
Speaker 1: on reward systems that that helps promote us to circulate
Speaker 1: our money back in the community. So personally, what this
Speaker 1: this movement mean to you? And at the end of it,
Speaker 1: what's a win for you? Damn man? You know a
Speaker 1: win for me to win? Personal win is that obviously
Speaker 1: the people that know my story, which we're not gonna
Speaker 1: get into that to the next episode. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it means a lot because I'm here in
Speaker 1: full circle. You know, I had I had a very
Speaker 1: you know, challenging journey, you know what I'm saying to
Speaker 1: get back here. I went to an HPCU, right, I
Speaker 1: left college to go to HPCU to have fun. When
Speaker 1: I went out there to have fun, there was a
Speaker 1: lot of elements and things going on. So it means
Speaker 1: a lot to me because I didn't stick it through.
Speaker 1: I didn't follow through and finish school. So now to
Speaker 1: come back out here to bring a financial literacy tools
Speaker 1: to the students, back to a college. Is that I
Speaker 1: want was my stomping ground. You see what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: to sit back here with my legs crossed, executives doing
Speaker 1: a podcast, three or four cameras on me, the artists
Speaker 1: that I ever present, and MasterCard executives here that's on deck.
Speaker 1: Probably proud to be man because I'm a black brother
Speaker 1: out here putting it down, overcoming adversity. I want to
Speaker 1: be an example for individuals who feel like theyby can
Speaker 1: make a bad decision and then that doesn't define you.
Speaker 1: You don't gotta give up. I don't give I don't
Speaker 1: give an F what it is. I can say the
Speaker 1: F and everything. We're gonna go F and all that
Speaker 1: when we can do the other show. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I just, I just, I just I'm just
Speaker 1: proud of you know how we was able to come together.
Speaker 1: It's not easy anytime that you're doing something that's never
Speaker 1: been done, there's gonna be little kinks in it. But look,
Speaker 1: we're here today. We're here today. I feel amazing. I
Speaker 1: feel full of winergy, and I want to take that
Speaker 1: winnagy all over the world. And I want to do
Speaker 1: more programs like this. I want to go to every college.
Speaker 1: I want to have big facts at every show. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, turning it up. I want to
Speaker 1: go into schools and I want to start them in
