Put it 568 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 2: like this, Mike Tyson, like tigers, right, he don't need 569 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: to be no zoologist. I just need to get rich 570 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: and get a tiger. That's all it bought down. 571 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: And you discovered that in college. 572 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 2: While in college, and I moved to engineering, right because 573 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 2: my mom and my whole family, they worked at Chrysler 574 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 2: and they always just to be like, man, the engineers 575 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 2: make the most money and it don't have to do anything, 576 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 2: so we want you to be that. I'm like, I 577 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: guess I don't want to do nothing with my life. 578 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: But I mean, you know what I'm saying, Like, so 579 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 2: I tried engineering. I didn't like it. 580 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: That's a lot of math, right, yeah. 581 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: And a lot of just being a loan like engineers 582 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: working loan a lot. So I was like, man, you know, 583 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 2: I have some love for that. I have a little 584 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: bit of engineering in me. You have a little bit 585 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 2: of lawyer in me. I wanted to be a lawyer at 586 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 2: some point. I didn't go to law or anything or 587 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: pre law, but I found a digital media arts and 588 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 2: technology like broadcast media, and I was like, this is it, like, 589 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: you know, like learning how to do the camera work 590 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: and the editing and the lighting. Because I felt like 591 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: I had the talent to be the talent and you 592 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: can't teach that. But if I can learn everything else 593 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: about the business, I can get my degree in that 594 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 2: and at least put myself close enough to the game 595 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: to be able to strike if I ever needed to 596 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: be able to do it. So that's what I did. 597 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: So I graduated super high up in my class, like 598 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: top fifteen, like number twelve. It was a big deal. 599 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: From college. 600 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: That is a big deal, so used to from my college, 601 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 2: not from the college that year, but from my specific major. 602 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: I was one of the top fifteen students.

I'm like, oh my god. 704 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: So your conversation with your mom going home? She starts 705 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 1: to question, you know, whether this is something you you 706 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: want to. 707 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: Right then, you know, I went up to her. How 708 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: did I do? She's like, not good, not good? What 709 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 2: happened to your jokes?

She just you know, she just you know, she's 712 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: always been supportive, but that day. 713 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: You know, well, it's but I will say this, it's 714 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: so important that she was honest with you in that 715 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: moment versus the opposite. So that relationship, I can see 716 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: why you trust her guidance because she can keep it 717 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: real even when you know it doesn't make you feel 718 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: that great. 719 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, she tells me, I don't like that joke. Shit, 720 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, you know, with all due respect, 721 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: but yeah, she uh, you know, she's always had my 722 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 2: back about it. My dad is just so impressed with it. 723 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: It's like, wow, you know, do you feel like by 724 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: letting your lights shine and pursuing and following the rules 725 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: that they had guided do you feel like that allows 726 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: them to let their light shine or other people's light shine. 727 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it puts a lot of pressure on the 728 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 2: other kids. And here in my family, I'm the oldest, 729 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 2: so it frees them because now their parents can see 730 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 2: that swinging for the fences could possibly get you everything right. 731 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 2: But then also it's like, you know, Chris finished college 732 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 2: and he did all you could. 733 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: You know, It's like they'd be like, why did you 734 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: leave that bar so high? 735 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 2: Right? You know what I'm saying, Head out to my 736 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 2: you know, my little cousins there. You know, they're geniuses. 737 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 2: They did all that shit, They did their ship and 738 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: you know, they got their big dreams and they're doing it. 739 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: But I think that I made a sharp left for 740 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 2: my family and they were like, oh wait a minute, 741 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: somebody is doing something different, and you know, it's set 742 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: it up. 743 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: And then also like I've been to Detroit, Uh that 744 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: place I describe it. I don't even think you can 745 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: describe Detroit. You really have to experience it because when 746 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: I go there, I'm like, how does anyone see their 747 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: way out? Outside of television? Would be like I could 748 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: imagine the only way maybe sports, But but I'm just saying, 749 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 1: like that environment is so there's like it's it's it's 750 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: a weird thing to me. It's so unstable because like 751 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: one block it's like houses, the next block it's a bomb. 752 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: Look like it hit it. 753 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 2: You know. 754 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: It's just I mean maybe if I grew up there, 755 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: I would understand it more. But coming from bigger cities 756 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: like New York and l A, I'm like, yo, how 757 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: do you possibly see yourself getting out of Detroit? 758 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: It's very simple. You learn and not take anything for granted. 759 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 2: I think that watching my kids grow up here in 760 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 2: LA it's like, oh, they got it made. You know. 761 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 2: They can leave their campus and go to lunch, or 762 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 2: they can go outside and switch class asses. And like 763 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 2: school was different. We were in the in the school building, 764 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: you couldn't leave. It was like a like New York. 765 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: I've seen New York schools like like a jail, like 766 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: a precine. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's like it's cold, 767 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 2: and you know, we don't have a lot of light 768 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 2: shined on us, and so it's not a lot of 769 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 2: attention on us. So the bad ship can excel, but 770 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 2: the good ship can excel too. 771 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean so many successful people that come 772 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: out of Detroit. You have your uh, what's that Detroit 773 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: a clothing line that's always very prominent. It's like Detroit 774 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: over everything or something everybody. By the way, I've tried 775 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: to get him on the show, so Tommy, yes, I've tried. Actually, 776 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: I think I seen him when I was in Detroit 777 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: and I had Darius pull over the car, like yo, 778 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: I need to try to lock him in. But but yeah, 779 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: you guys have had so many successful young entrepreneurs come 780 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 1: out of Detroit. I feel like Detroit is really making 781 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: its own name for itself even. 782 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 2: Can I tell you some real shit. Yeah, we don't 783 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 2: have a lot of old people in a way like 784 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 2: New York. Y'all got a lot of old heads who 785 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 2: are tied into the what it is.

And then 1364 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: like really kind of asked all these questions and I 1365 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 1: started to like really sit down, like you know, usually 1366 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: you're handing your taxes to account you just five minutes, 1367 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,440 Speaker 1: get in and get out. Now me, I was like, no, 1368 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna teach me what I was doing wrong to 1369 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: end up in a situation where you know, the state 1370 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 1: is gonna repoll my car. How was the State of 1371 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 1: California gonna repossess my car like that? Doesn't even make sense. 1372 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: But the State of California, I had to learn at 1373 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: a very young age, was way more dangerous than the irs. 1374 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 1: The irs will like make payment plans, but State was like, 1375 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: you pay me all my money up front, and we don't. 1376 01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,040 Speaker 1: We don't want five dollars today. We want all our money. 1377 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 1: And then when we get all our money, we remove 1378 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 1: all the lians. And that's when I was like, Okay, 1379 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a I'm a school up and handle 1380 01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 1: my money differently. And then when I bought my first house, 1381 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: that was another learning lesson where it was like, wait, 1382 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,439 Speaker 1: the bank wants to know why I was moving money 1383 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 1: from this account to this account and what was this 1384 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,280 Speaker 1: purchase and that purchase. Because when I every time I 1385 01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 1: had a business, I would mix up all my funds. 1386 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, well, you know, CASHUW problems, and 1387 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 1: before you know it, after hitting my head a couple 1388 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: of times. Now I may true j not just by nationality, 1389 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 1: but I am an obsessively and Darius knows that's like, 1390 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm so good with money and I still I give 1391 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 1: out credit. I brag about it because I do believe 1392 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 1: you have really great credit. Your job in life is 1393 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,800 Speaker 1: to gift other people with it, but also teach them. 1394 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 1: But I give away and. 1395 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 2: I don't mind. 1396 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: So when you have someone like I have an eight 1397 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight FIGHTO, and I'm proud of it. 1398 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: But if say, if you have say seven six hundred 1399 01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 1: fight oh, all I would do is say, you know, CP, 1400 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: give me your information. I'll add you to one of 1401 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: my cards. By me doing that, I'll probably give you 1402 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: one hundred points just off that. 1403 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 2: Wow. 1404 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: So I give out all my friends. I give them credit. 1405 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm very invested in there, and they all call me 1406 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: when they're having money issues, cause I'm like, yo, there's 1407 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: no reason to be prideful about it. Like you see 1408 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,960 Speaker 1: me go broke a hundred of times. But it was funny. 1409 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,040 Speaker 1: Yesterday I bought a car. 1410 01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:22,280 Speaker 2: That's business. 1411 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bought a car yesterday, and afterwards I went, 1412 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, I had to run an errand with my daughter. 1413 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend and I was like, man, 1414 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: you know the guy before me, it took so long 1415 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 1: for me. It took like thirty minutes. And he was saying, like, 1416 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, when he buys all his vehicles, one he 1417 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 1: put it under his name. I'm like, why the f 1418 01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: would you ever put a vehicle under your name? It's 1419 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: a liability. It ruins your debt to income racio on 1420 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:48,240 Speaker 1: at all this list, but one of the things I 1421 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 1: realized is like the failure to manage money and to 1422 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 1: understand credit really holds you back. The reason why I 1423 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 1: was able to buy a car with virtually nothing down, 1424 01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 1: no income checks, nothing, was because I had the fight 1425 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 1: out score of f you give me my car, you 1426 01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,000 Speaker 1: know attitude and even when I said, uh. 1427 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 2: But doesn't your score go down every time you do 1428 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 2: stuff like that. 1429 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,919 Speaker 1: No, so your score you have like up to four 1430 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,960 Speaker 1: inquiries a year that you can get, but it dips 1431 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,920 Speaker 1: your score a little bit. The things that ruin your 1432 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 1: score is really your debt to income ratio and your 1433 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: ability to pay off debt. So I believe in paying 1434 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 1: off all debt within thirty days, and the only debt 1435 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 1: that I like to keep is assets. And then anything 1436 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 1: that's a liability needs to go under a company because 1437 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,200 Speaker 1: you can write it all off. You know, like cars 1438 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: with the exception of Darius's new Chevy Caprice or whatever, 1439 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,840 Speaker 1: like you could keep that car because it's appreciating, But 1440 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,120 Speaker 1: the regular cars that depreciate. They need to be under 1441 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: your company. Everything needs to be under your company. You 1442 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,560 Speaker 1: got school and then yeah, and then I also I 1443 01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,120 Speaker 1: live on a modest salary, and then I put all 1444 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,760 Speaker 1: my companies as anes corp. And then I draw to 1445 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 1: a draw on the profits at the end, which I 1446 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 1: think everyone swears by LLC, LLC law escorpse are the best. 1447 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,600 Speaker 1: Like I remember my accounts for five years saying like 1448 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: escorp escort, but in my brain I was so ashamed. 1449 01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: I would be like, well, they probably just wanted me 1450 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 1: to spend more money. And it was a simple filing. 1451 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,479 Speaker 1: It didn't even cost me any money. It was they 1452 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,280 Speaker 1: just turned the C into the S. And I was like, 1453 01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: I saved so much money. I was like, you're so stupid. 1454 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 2: Ho, why didn't you just tell them to do it? 1455 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: But my ignorance was like was like, yeah, escorp es 1456 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,800 Speaker 1: corp is the best way. And then I also I 1457 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 1: love this because if you're buying real estate, if you 1458 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,560 Speaker 1: do an escorp and you set yourself as an employee 1459 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 1: if you're self employed, they count your income after tax 1460 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: if you are employed, which if you get on a 1461 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,920 Speaker 1: d P under your escorp, you're employed, then you get 1462 01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. You get to buy a 1463 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 1: home based on your income before tax, so you can 1464 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: buy more home. So like there's different tricks where you're like, 1465 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,639 Speaker 1: wait and as an as corp. You can do both. 1466 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: So I love it. 1467 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna bet suhit me up. 1468 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 1: I love it in Darius, obviously, could you imagine being 1469 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 1: married to someone that's like, how did you spend that money? 1470 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,479 Speaker 2: From Detroit? We from theded Like we just we just 1471 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:24,719 Speaker 2: get a dollar to spend a dollar. 1472 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,000 Speaker 1: That's how he is. And let me tell you something. Nothing. 1473 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,360 Speaker 1: The second I hear been a mall, I'm like, get 1474 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 1: the out of the mall, you know, And I get it. 1475 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,719 Speaker 1: He's he's a comic. But I'm like, if your checks 1476 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 1: were all getting written into your corp, you know, sure, 1477 01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 1: But these clothes I can't. We can't do nothing with 1478 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 1: them because you're not Your paperwork isn't brand. 1479 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,720 Speaker 2: What do you mean? So if they were paying him 1480 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,640 Speaker 2: to his company, then the clothes that he buys, he 1481 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 2: get everything. 1482 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,360 Speaker 1: So everything I buy is written off. I what I 1483 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 1: do is I put everything on my Amax. Which is 1484 01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 1: a cool cheat is that most of these credit cards 1485 01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 1: are breaking. Get down for you.

But yeah, it's definitely especially 1496 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,719 Speaker 1: like in the state of California, if you are self employed, 1497 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 1: like to just Comedian CP, you're gonna get taxed more. 1498 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 1: But you're on an escort, so you're being taxed right, 1499 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 1: But the goal is the liabilities go on to court 1500 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:45,000 Speaker 1: assets home. 1501 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 2: Are you stuck, Like, let's say my car is are 1502 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 2: my name? Can I just switch into my company at anytime? 1503 01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,720 Speaker 1: No, but there's still a way. So like what I 1504 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: was doing, not like. 1505 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 2: A car note like talk about a car you just 1506 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 2: cash out. 1507 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: You cashed out a car in your own name. Maybe no, 1508 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: you got to buy that because if you buy a 1509 01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 1: car cash out fifty percent right off the top is 1510 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 1: tax right off. So if you bought a car for 1511 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:14,479 Speaker 1: one hundred k, fifty k. 1512 01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 2: Right off the top for my company, or it's for me, 1513 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 2: for your. 1514 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:23,160 Speaker 1: Company, for you, it's I don't think you get as 1515 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,280 Speaker 1: many benefits. Like I just bought this car. I just 1516 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,080 Speaker 1: switched it to my name, and the dealer had the 1517 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 1: nerve to catch a little attitude and I was just like, bru, 1518 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,920 Speaker 1: either you switch it to my name. And then here's 1519 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 1: the funny thing. So the way insurance works, you know, 1520 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,439 Speaker 1: it's a little tricky. So I was telling Darius at 1521 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: like seven in this morning, guess what I did. So 1522 01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,160 Speaker 1: the insurance company, the dealer wanted like the insurance to 1523 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: come out a certain way, and they sent me a PDF. 1524 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 1: And luckily, you know the computers now you could just 1525 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,800 Speaker 1: edit it. And they wanted to lay out a certain way. 1526 01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,920 Speaker 1: So I had the insurance, but they just wanted it 1527 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,439 Speaker 1: to lay out without my name or Dariu's name on it. 1528 01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: So I just went and edited the PDF and sent 1529 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 1: it to the dealer and got it approved. I was like, 1530 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 1: I'm gangster like you. There's probably was like, what are 1531 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:05,519 Speaker 1: you even talking about? 1532 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 2: Exactly. That's that's how I get down. I would. I mean, 1533 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:10,639 Speaker 2: but like, yeah, yeah, I mean. 1534 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 1: The insurance is legit, but they want to see it 1535 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 1: laid out a certain way. It's like, Yo, I'm not 1536 01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 1: even gonna argue with you. I'm not gonna argue with 1537 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,720 Speaker 1: the insurance company. Y'all can agree, y'all don't want to 1538 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,599 Speaker 1: talk to each other. I'm gonna edit this. What do 1539 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,719 Speaker 1: you want? You want? My name's gone edit and send 1540 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 1: it in. And but but truthfully, a lot of people 1541 01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,759 Speaker 1: don't spend enough time talking about money and how it works. 1542 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 1: And in the state of California, we're being taxed so 1543 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,439 Speaker 1: hard that you have to be smart with it. 1544 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,479 Speaker 2: Man, I gotta get you with my wife. Man, she 1545 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 2: would love this conversation. 1546 01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 1: She would until you go to the mall and then you'd. 1547 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,880 Speaker 2: Be like, oh, I mean you could. I spend too 1548 01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 2: much good damn time with tomorrow. Anyway, that's my problem. 1549 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 2: I need to get out of there. Yeah. 1550 01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,760 Speaker 1: So, what advice would you give to someone coming up 1551 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,640 Speaker 1: in the game specifically from Detroit And matter of fact, no, 1552 01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,719 Speaker 1: we're not gonna specific from Detroit, but a young person 1553 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 1: coming up in the game pursuing to be a class 1554 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 1: clown but doesn't really know what their journey is gonna 1555 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:05,759 Speaker 1: be and being. 1556 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 2: Broke so young is in there in high school? 1557 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, a young person. 1558 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:11,880 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're in high school, I would say 1559 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 2: I was, you. 1560 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,920 Speaker 1: Know, let's not do high school.

Learn 1572 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 2: everything that you need to know about what it's gonna 1573 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,880 Speaker 2: take to make you shine. Right. So, you need to 1574 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,880 Speaker 2: learn how to be your own cameraman. You need to 1575 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 2: learn how to light yourself. You need to learn how 1576 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,719 Speaker 2: to like just practice like doing all of the things 1577 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 2: that that you want somebody else to do. It for 1578 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,160 Speaker 2: you and who you want to hire and all of that. 1579 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 2: You got to do it yourself first period, Like you 1580 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 2: have to be your first client. You have to be 1581 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,600 Speaker 2: your first everything. Like, so don't expect people to just 1582 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,639 Speaker 2: buy into your shit because you saying that you want 1583 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,080 Speaker 2: to do it. Unfortunately everybody says that and everybody wants 1584 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 2: to do it. So you have to be the first 1585 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,720 Speaker 2: person to be your first everything. You got to be 1586 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 2: your first manager. You gotta be okay with that, right, 1587 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:28,760 Speaker 2: Like with the more people you get to buy in, 1588 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 2: the less you have to do it and the more 1589 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 2: rest you can get. But in the meantime, you gotta jump. 1590 01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 2: You cannot be lazy. I can't be lazy with it. 1591 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,720 Speaker 2: You have to do it, like whatever it takes. And 1592 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,559 Speaker 2: it's kind of like, we know what it takes, we 1593 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 2: just need somebody to tell us. But you don't need 1594 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 2: nobody to say. You know exactly what you're supposed to do. 1595 01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,840 Speaker 1: But now, what would you say if they're like, well, 1596 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm okay, what if I do it and a year 1597 01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,799 Speaker 1: or two years in we don't have like one hundred followers, 1598 01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 1: Do I give up then? Or do I keep going? 1599 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 2: No? Don't you know I mean like it depends on 1600 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 2: how important it is to you. Right, So, like after 1601 01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,639 Speaker 2: two years of being in it, you have enough content 1602 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,840 Speaker 2: where you can start to assess yourself. You know, where 1603 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 2: did you see strength, Where did you see weakness? Where 1604 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:19,720 Speaker 2: did you see the most success? What do people like 1605 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 2: about you the most? And then start to accentuate those 1606 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 2: things and keep going, like you don't blow up until 1607 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,120 Speaker 2: you blow up. Everything is practiced until then. So it's 1608 01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:31,479 Speaker 2: like you just you got to settle into the fact 1609 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 2: that it's going to be a journey and fall in 1610 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 2: love with the journey of it. Like, if you can't 1611 01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 2: see yourself loving doing this every day, then this is 1612 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 2: probably not what you want to do, you know what 1613 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,160 Speaker 2: I'm saying. Like, you know, if you don't want to 1614 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 2: work out and go in the gym and be buffed, 1615 01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 2: and you don't want to play football, you just want 1616 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 2: to toss the ball around, go to a tailgate and 1617 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 2: play catch. 1618 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 1: I like how you kind of did talked about it 1619 01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,759 Speaker 1: in the zoology sense, like you know, maybe you should 1620 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: just you know. 1621 01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:58,360 Speaker 2: Get rich and get a tiger. 1622 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:01,120 Speaker 1: Get rich and get a tiger.
