186
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: stuck in trafficking here in Atlanta and you just look.

187
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,240

00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Right right with Lambart. And that's why when I came

192
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: to Gred because once again it's you have a lot

193
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: of friends, but you never know who's going to raise

194
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: support you. I know, I know you, you're aware of this,

195
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and you've got people who act like they're there for you,

196
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, and then but they don't really support you.

197
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: So Greg came, I talked, I talked to him about it,

198
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: and he was full steam. He was like, what can

199
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: I do? And now it's one thing for you to

200
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: ask what can I do? But it's another thing for

201
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: you to put endless hours time bring resources to Anthony

202
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,320

289
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: Minute of Inspiration with Rushawn McDonald And this week I

290
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: sat down with award winning actor, best selling author and

291
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: entrepreneur Heal Harper. He stopped by and talked about how

292
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: his thyrot cancer diagnosis led to his role as a

293
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: health and wellness Ambascheldor teaching everyday people how to live

294
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: healthier lives.

295
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: We believe that a lot of the root cause of

296
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: cancer has to do with what we put on our skin.

297
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 5: Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and

298
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 5: it enforces everything. Just as if you ate it, your ender, consistent,

299
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: your liver, your kidneys have to deal with it. And

300
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: they said, the reason why I'll never be tested because

301
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 5: the same companies that make the lotions that contain the aluminum,

302
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: the petroleum, the parabis and the oils and all these things.

303
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: The same companies who make that are also the same

304
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: companies as a drug company, So they're never going to

305
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 5: do a long term study of the effects of their.

306
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,200

Speaker 1: for uplift.

336
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, one of the things that we do is

337
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: we do have a fund with the fundraiser program where

338
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: we give fifty percent of all proceeds back to the foundation,

339
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: which is which is great. It helps out you know,

340
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: like the sports teams with uniforms. It also helps the

341
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: parents so that they don't have to spend as much

342
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: money for these particular programs.

343
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: So, you know, fundraising, we've adopted how many.

344
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: High schools too, Yeah, too high schools that we've adopted

346
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: a fundraiser can be you know, for you to buy

347
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: some gators. If you want to do a fund raiser,

348
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: go buy some gators. You can do a fundraiser too,

349
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: as long as you just might have bout a popcorn.

350
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,159

Speaker 1: the youth football teams that's in the in the inner city,

352
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,239

Speaker 1: on the show. One was the fundraising and giving back,

360
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,640

00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: what's that say about you? First reference to you, Ryan,

374
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: and it was to say about you Grig would you Ryan?

375
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: We did that from day one, honestly because we wanted

376
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: to give back. I wasn't raised with a silver spoon

377
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: raising PEERI Illinois single mother food stamps used to go

378
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: to the food bank, standing the line, I don't eat

379
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: hot dogs right now and salmon croquettes because that's what

380
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: they gave us for free back when I was young.

381
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: But so you know, we come back from very humble,

382
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: very humble beginnings. But with this business. That was a

383
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: goal when we first started, was to be able to

384
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: give back. My first week in business, somebody showed me

385
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: a cheerleader cheerleading squad and MacDonough that sold fifty six

386
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in popcorn and they made in four days.

387
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: And they made twenty six thousand for their organization in

388
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: four days. In four days. That's how big. If you

389
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: really got the if you really got the team or

390
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: the group around you a push, and you do a push,

391
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: you can make money. And guess what, there's no upfront costs.

392
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: So what as you said, one bag, three bags, five

393
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: hundred bags, you still make something and you didn't have

394
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: to invest anything. So what's better than what's better than free? Right? Right?

395
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: This?

396
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: This is this is the plap. This is the approach

397
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: that you have with your business model for people who

398
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: want to raise funds for the organization, for organization, for

399
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: your business for anything. Nobody want to go on vacation.

400
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: Actually have somebody wanted to go on vacation.

401
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: So they said, instead of me just going out begging

402
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: and asking my family members to send me to Spain,

403
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: let me just do a fundraiser where they can walk

404
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,840

Speaker 1: Something and they get something. Wow. You know, we people

Speaker 1: I love these guys.

413
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 4: I'm telling something.

Speaker 1: the jazz. Just let me talk. There's no music played

420
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,400

572
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,920

573
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,719

574
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,399
