0:17

Speaker 1: Jamie Fox days. That's all the way back as years
0:22
Speaker 1: ago when we were first mad. She's she's just just

Speaker 1: just blossoming that. It's an incredible comedic actress. She's a

0:42
Speaker 1: now to see that movie. But she would also be

0:55
Speaker 1: to Money Making Conversations. Good friend of mine, Sherry Shepherd,
1:00
Speaker 1: Hey Rashan, how are you? How we first of all,
1:03
Speaker 1: how do you have time to talk to me? You know,
1:07
Speaker 1: I'm actually in a card driving to another location. You know,
1:13
Speaker 1: it's really wonderful because you know, we've both seen ourselves
1:18
Speaker 1: take changes in our careers, you know, and then and
1:21
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're you're kind of lost,
1:23
Speaker 1: you kind of who am I? Because you get branded
1:25
Speaker 1: to a certain brand and as all people know yourself,
1:28
Speaker 1: you know you for and then all of a sudden
1:30
Speaker 1: you have to look inside yourself to say what am
1:32
Speaker 1: I capable of doing? You know, over the last three years,
1:35
Speaker 1: That's what I've done, and I'm so blessed that I'm
1:37
Speaker 1: in a position now to say that Rushan McDonald's a brand.
1:40
Speaker 1: And now I look at you and you truly are
1:43
Speaker 1: have developed into a brand? Can you tell our listeners
1:46
Speaker 1: just in some ways? How are you able to make
1:49
Speaker 1: a transition to be able to redefine who Sherry Shepherd is? Um?
1:55
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's about taking risks. I think
1:57
Speaker 1: that's what I admire about you, because you do you
2:00
Speaker 1: get so locked into a certain brand or a certain
2:03
Speaker 1: way people you know, they see you and and that's
2:06
Speaker 1: all they see. And you have to you have to
2:09
Speaker 1: be willing to take a risk and be fearless to
2:12
Speaker 1: a certain point so that they can see a different
2:15
Speaker 1: side of you. And so for me, so I wouldn't
2:18
Speaker 1: get locked into one thing. I always would do things
2:21
Speaker 1: that scared me, such as, you know, I've never done radio,
2:24
Speaker 1: but unless I've been a guest. So when you know,
2:27
Speaker 1: Tom Joyner offered me a regular spot on his morning show.
2:32
Speaker 1: It wasn't something I had done before, but I said,
2:34
Speaker 1: let me try it. And you know, I was joined
2:37
Speaker 1: by Kim Witley and what our segment is the most
2:40
Speaker 1: popular for the last four years running, so we and
2:43
Speaker 1: they added a second day to as being co host
2:46
Speaker 1: on Tom joined his radio show. So that was a
2:49
Speaker 1: different side of me that people got to see. Hosting
2:52
Speaker 1: a game show is a different side of me that
2:55
Speaker 1: people got to see. But it required me to say, Okay,
2:57
Speaker 1: I've never hosted before, but let me try it. So
3:01
Speaker 1: I think it's and even in this movie Brian Bank,
3:03
Speaker 1: since my first dramatic lead in a big film. So
3:07
Speaker 1: it require you know, stepping out of my comfort zone
3:10
Speaker 1: and saying, let me try something else so somebody can
3:13
Speaker 1: see a different side. I think, unless you you know,
3:17
Speaker 1: commit to taking a risk it might not happen as fast.
3:22
Speaker 1: We know the thing about it, because, um, first of all,
3:24
Speaker 1: let's let's go back to this. This a single mom
3:28
Speaker 1: segment that you've developed and have developed and moved to
3:31
Speaker 1: him with a good friend of mine. It's with a
3:33
Speaker 1: good friend of yours. Um, now that could be a podcast.
3:36
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you know, Sean, I see beyond
3:39
Speaker 1: you know, because we all know that Thomas retiring from
3:42
Speaker 1: radio at the end of this year. So now you
3:44
Speaker 1: have to realize that that brand that you two have developed. Uh,
3:47
Speaker 1: if you if you need to talk to ro Sean
3:49
Speaker 1: about setting up some sales opportunities brandhide the podcast opportunities,
3:54
Speaker 1: please do because that is a market you guys cannot
3:56
Speaker 1: walk away though that show ends your that whole brand
4:00
Speaker 1: is going to develop in This is amazing. I'm sure
4:01
Speaker 1: you're already thinking that way because you're busy and you
4:03
Speaker 1: all you think about making money now day. So know
4:05
Speaker 1: that when I talk to the journal public, know that
4:08
Speaker 1: that format that they've created you are either here in
4:10
Speaker 1: their own syndicated show or you will hear it in
4:13
Speaker 1: the podcast in the future. Okay, So let's talk about
4:17
Speaker 1: this series and all the time. Let's talk about this series.
4:20
Speaker 1: I read it to a couple of weeks ago at
4:22
Speaker 1: the Holly Rod Foundations, so I missed you. I need
4:26
Speaker 1: to talk to you. I got somebody thinks somebody's happening.
4:28
Speaker 1: So I'm sure you and I had all three of
4:30
Speaker 1: us will get together here in the near future to
4:32
Speaker 1: just just talk about the opportunity, because we're all friends,
4:35
Speaker 1: and we all are constantly making transitions in this business.
4:38
Speaker 1: Because sometimes this business doesn't offer any guarantees. And I
4:41
Speaker 1: see the business entertainment. Entertainment is something you really don't
4:46
Speaker 1: far as security, and you see the opportunity, but the
4:48
Speaker 1: opportunity doesn't always mean it's secure. And so let's talk
4:51
Speaker 1: about your dramatic acting. Road I saw the movie Brian
4:54
Speaker 1: Banks him. Let's talk about you know, Octavia spent some
4:58
Speaker 1: moments he was happening in the series. You know when
5:00
Speaker 1: they came out, when they came to the house and
5:03
Speaker 1: took your boy to jail. Yes, let me talk to
5:09
Speaker 1: you about this, Okay, you comedic actress. Okay, Yeah, making
5:13
Speaker 1: a shift to a dramatic because you you have to
5:16
Speaker 1: be dramatic this whole time. You know that, you know,
5:18
Speaker 1: being that she's funny she's able to um as a
5:21
Speaker 1: couple of moments where you do chuckle because she reaction
5:24
Speaker 1: just as a gifted comedic actress. But but, but how
5:28
Speaker 1: did you come to this role and how did you
5:31
Speaker 1: make the decision? This is what I want to do.
5:35
Speaker 1: I read the script and I said to my agent,
5:38
Speaker 1: I mean I just locked into Leaomi, who played Brian
5:40
Speaker 1: Banks's mother and her face her love for her son.
5:44
Speaker 1: At the time, my son, Jeffrey was twelve, and I
5:46
Speaker 1: said he could be Brian Banks. And I said to
5:49
Speaker 1: my agent, I have to get this audition, like I
5:51
Speaker 1: have to do it. And what worked against me where
5:55
Speaker 1: they really weren't as interested in seeing me, was because
5:58
Speaker 1: I have a comedic background. That's what people know me
6:01
Speaker 1: for is making them laugh. And this was a very
6:03
Speaker 1: heavy um dramatic movie. And so I had really had
6:07
Speaker 1: to fight and my agent had to fight to get
6:10
Speaker 1: me in. And they had other names that they were mentioning.
6:13
Speaker 1: You say Octavia, but they were they They wanted Viola Davis.
6:16
Speaker 1: That was the first choice. The second choice was Octavia
6:20
Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett. Uh they said, halle Berry, I'm nu ellis
6:24
Speaker 1: who is being nominated for When they see us. These
6:27
Speaker 1: are all beasts in the dramatic world, and so it was, um,
6:33
Speaker 1: it was it was that pressure as well. But you know,
6:35
Speaker 1: you have to keep if that's the dream, you have
6:38
Speaker 1: to keep going forward. And I heap. My agent finally
6:41
Speaker 1: got me an audition and I'll never forget the Chassi
6:44
Speaker 1: director said, we've expanded the part of the mother and
6:48
Speaker 1: I said, oh my gosh, that's great, and she said,
6:50
Speaker 1: because we're trying to get Viola Davis. Do you know
6:52
Speaker 1: what pressure that is? Right before you your auditions. They're
6:55
Speaker 1: trying to get Viola and now again when you're ready.
6:59
Speaker 1: So and that's where I had to remember, literally in
7:03
Speaker 1: that audition, because I almost got deflated when I heard
7:06
Speaker 1: them say that they wanted Violet Davis. It almost sent
7:08
Speaker 1: me like I can't do this. I'm not even worthy.
7:10
Speaker 1: And I had to remember, Sherry, you're bringing something you,
7:13
Speaker 1: This is you, me, is you. You have a son
7:17
Speaker 1: who could be Brian Banks. What would it be like
7:19
Speaker 1: if they took Jeffrey from you? And that's when I
7:22
Speaker 1: started doing my line. So that was all up underneath me.
7:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna tell y'all felt against the wall,
7:28
Speaker 1: sliding down the wall, I was crying. I was screaming.
7:31
Speaker 1: I think I scaredly of Daniel's Butler's Lee, Daniel's sister,
7:35
Speaker 1: who casted the movie. It was so emotional the audition
7:38
Speaker 1: that when I got into the elevator I still was
7:40
Speaker 1: in a fetal position because I went there and because
7:43
Speaker 1: I said, you know what they want Viola. I got
7:45
Speaker 1: nothing to lose, but let me just let me just
7:48
Speaker 1: go and do what I do, because it's nothing like Viola.
7:53
Speaker 1: And um. I didn't hear from the people for a
7:55
Speaker 1: few weeks, so I didn't think I got it, but
7:57
Speaker 1: I knew I left everything on the table bowl and
8:00
Speaker 1: that's why I think you gotta leave everything on the
8:01
Speaker 1: table and go for it. And Tom Shatti ac Uh
8:06
Speaker 1: just this kidsman. He wrote The Nutti Professor, and he's
8:09
Speaker 1: directed Eddie Murphy and tons of movies. He's directed Jim
8:12
Speaker 1: Carrey in a lot of movies, and so he was
8:15
Speaker 1: used to working with stand up comics. So I had
8:18
Speaker 1: a few FaceTime auditions with Tom, and I knew that
8:22
Speaker 1: I had gotten a job. When Tom said I had
8:25
Speaker 1: to sit on Eddie and I had to sit on Jim.
8:28
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna have to sit on you too.
8:30
Speaker 1: And when I say sitting on people, it's sitting on
8:33
Speaker 1: the comedic, bringing down the comedy and bringing up the
8:37
Speaker 1: other side, the pain side. And you know from working
8:41
Speaker 1: with stand up comics are your life. We bring to
8:43
Speaker 1: the stage is pain. You take pain and you make
8:47
Speaker 1: it funny. So Tom Shattyac was able to take the
8:52
Speaker 1: funny side of Sherry and put it away and then
8:55
Speaker 1: all that was left was the pain. And so he
8:58
Speaker 1: was able to bring that out. And I'm and you know,
9:01
Speaker 1: it only takes one person to believe in you, to
9:05
Speaker 1: say to make it happen, and he was that one
9:07
Speaker 1: person for me that said, I think she can go beyond.
9:12
Speaker 1: And that's that's important that you say that, because you know,
9:15
Speaker 1: when you get, when you get, you know, a lot
9:17
Speaker 1: of your early success was tied to the view. A
9:19
Speaker 1: lot of my success you look at my resume is
9:21
Speaker 1: tied to Steve Harker. And a lot of people will
9:24
Speaker 1: compliment you the on you great, great, but you know
9:27
Speaker 1: something you great in that lane. But being out now
9:29
Speaker 1: the fact that you're doing I'm tay and Brian Banks.
9:33
Speaker 1: This Brian Banks movie is about it incocerated young man
9:36
Speaker 1: who's wrong for the in consperrated sixty years old with
9:38
Speaker 1: false accused of rate and spend sixty years of his life.
9:42
Speaker 1: He's a very he's a football player, I mean not
9:45
Speaker 1: just a football player, five star football player. So probably
9:48
Speaker 1: headed to USC probably would be in the pros because
9:51
Speaker 1: I won't give away any of the movie because guess
9:53
Speaker 1: what you got to see the movie realized that through determination,
9:57
Speaker 1: through um having the right support system. Mom was the
10:01
Speaker 1: key to that, and also the legal system and the
10:04
Speaker 1: legal representatives came in and gave him the support system.
10:07
Speaker 1: But it's a constant battle. And when her character as
10:10
Speaker 1: as as she says, this is not you know, just
10:13
Speaker 1: like no different than Kevin Hard doing his his it's
10:16
Speaker 1: a dramatic role that he did that everybody's portioning that
10:18
Speaker 1: that move went to a hundred million dollars. Okay, and
10:21
Speaker 1: this is your time to say I can do more.
10:23
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about your resume that I
10:26
Speaker 1: currently see out there. I see an entrepreneur, I see
10:29
Speaker 1: a mom, I see a radio person. Now I see
10:32
Speaker 1: drama and that is beautiful because that lets me know
10:35
Speaker 1: that your three sixty and I forgot also best selling author. Okay,
10:40
Speaker 1: that's the three sixty radio print, digital, social media influencer.

10:50
Speaker 1: achieving and currently being blessed with. I am very thankful
10:55
Speaker 1: that people, uh still want to work with me. I
10:58

11:02
Speaker 1: crucial in this business. And UM, thankful that my you
11:07
Speaker 1: know that I have a reputation that's pretty solid where
11:10
Speaker 1: people say I would like to take a chance with
11:12
Speaker 1: her because I've heard about you know a lot of times.
11:15

Speaker 1: she she called me and and she said, can you
16:16
Speaker 1: just come in and be on my talk show? Now?
16:19
Speaker 1: All of my teams said no, because it's not paying
16:21
Speaker 1: enough money. Why you want to do it? Nobody's watching.
16:24
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to do things for a friend
16:27
Speaker 1: because you want to do it because you're trying to
16:29
Speaker 1: help them out. And I went on this show. You know,
16:32
Speaker 1: it took all day, but it was doing it for
16:34
Speaker 1: my friend. And it just so happened that all of
16:36
Speaker 1: the executives from the Game show Network we're there and
16:40
Speaker 1: they said, we just saw you had so much joy.
16:43
Speaker 1: You came in, you were bubbly, you were joyful, and
16:45
Speaker 1: when we put together this game show, you were the
16:48
Speaker 1: first person we thought about. So sometimes you're doing you know,
16:52
Speaker 1: everything is not for the money. You do it just
16:55
Speaker 1: because you want to help somebody out. And you go
16:58
Speaker 1: in and it just you go in with a great
17:01
Speaker 1: attitude because I couldn't win in It was like, you know,
17:03
Speaker 1: this show is stupid, you don't pay no money. I'm
17:06
Speaker 1: just doing the first You're going because you got a
17:09
Speaker 1: chance to do something that you love. And that's the
17:11
Speaker 1: one thing that they noticed and they said, would you
17:13
Speaker 1: They offered me the game show, would you do it?
17:15
Speaker 1: Because we just love your personality and we think you'd
17:19
Speaker 1: be great an opportunity that people say, don't even do well?
17:23
Speaker 1: You know that that that's what I always tell people.
17:25
Speaker 1: You can't play in your life based on money. You're
17:27
Speaker 1: playing your life based on an opportunity, and you in
17:30
Speaker 1: an opportunity. You went in and was cherry because one
17:33
Speaker 1: thing I know about her, she get if you see
17:35
Speaker 1: her in public, that energy is right there. You know,
17:38
Speaker 1: you know, we all know that. As a comic. You know,
17:41
Speaker 1: there's a dog side to all comic because where we
17:42
Speaker 1: get our comedy from. We see we see life. Actually
17:46
Speaker 1: comediens see too much of life and we and you
17:49
Speaker 1: have to take the responsibility how you can twist that
17:51
Speaker 1: and make it funny. That's a that's a task and
17:54
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand. So when they see comedians,
17:56
Speaker 1: especially funny commedian think they're always happy. No, no, no,
17:59
Speaker 1: we're not always happen because we know because we're taking
18:02
Speaker 1: in so much information and then we have to twist
18:04
Speaker 1: that information logically and out here so we won't be angry.
18:08
Speaker 1: In other words, it really a comedy for us, is
18:11
Speaker 1: really like a release because we can jokingly tell things
18:14
Speaker 1: that bother us to you and and then you react
18:17
Speaker 1: to us in a laughing manner. But we really have
18:20
Speaker 1: their vent. And so so let me explain to everybody
18:26
Speaker 1: what the best ever trivia show is. It's three contestants
18:29
Speaker 1: face off against three trivia experts. The winning player then
18:33
Speaker 1: goes head to head in the final round against the
18:35
Speaker 1: experts who performed the best over the course of the show,
18:39
Speaker 1: the Ultimate Trivia Challenge. If the player gets more correct
18:42
Speaker 1: answers than the expert, then the player wins ten thousand dollars,
18:46
Speaker 1: along with the opportunity to come back and win up
18:49
Speaker 1: to a grand toll of thirty thousand dollars, and takes
18:52
Speaker 1: his or her spot in trivia history. Now what is trivia?
18:57
Speaker 1: When you say, you know you have the family feud,
18:59
Speaker 1: you have pretty all these shows out there, what exactly
19:02
Speaker 1: will you say? Trivia? What? What? What? What? What? What
19:05
Speaker 1: lanes of information are you trying to get to the
19:07
Speaker 1: journal so we can just like, I mean, I think
19:10
Speaker 1: trivia is like different. It's different, you know, pieces of
19:13
Speaker 1: information about it. It's a little bit about everything, and
19:17
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little bit about I mean just everything.
19:20
Speaker 1: There's no specific question. It's like and if you're good
19:23
Speaker 1: at you just know a little bit about everything, but
19:26
Speaker 1: not a lot about nothing for you, you know. And
19:31
Speaker 1: it's a really fun show because you get to face
19:33
Speaker 1: off with experts that you've seen on Who Wants to
19:35
Speaker 1: Be a Millionaire and you know Jeopardy. So it's a
19:39
Speaker 1: chance for you to have fun and win a little
19:41
Speaker 1: money on the side. And I'm there to just facilitate
19:45
Speaker 1: it and make you feel comfortable because you people get
19:47
Speaker 1: very nervous being on TV. So I'm there to just
19:49
Speaker 1: have fun with you and be the host. Because I
19:52
Speaker 1: don't know any of those trivia answers. I'm as fascinated
19:55
Speaker 1: as the next person. How they come up with this stuff, well,
19:59
Speaker 1: not only come up what they know it though they
20:01
Speaker 1: know they Yeah, they're very knowledgeable, and they're very knowledgeable
20:05
Speaker 1: these different experts in different fields. Now let's talk about
20:09
Speaker 1: the entrepreneurship side of me, because I know him running
20:11
Speaker 1: out the time you and they'd be end of the interview,
20:13
Speaker 1: she said, Rishan, We're not we can just no way
20:15
Speaker 1: we can talk about all these things. I'm up proof
20:17
Speaker 1: for wrong, wrong I was, I was Sarah Shepard. You
20:22
Speaker 1: have a partnership with this weight lost company called Healthy Wage.
20:26
Speaker 1: Can we expound on that? Because I started I saw
20:29
Speaker 1: you in Atlanta, you look beautiful, came out there with
20:31
Speaker 1: that little white dress on and everything talking to her
20:33
Speaker 1: share Hi everybody. Yeah, I'll be back after so tell
20:38
Speaker 1: us about that, and how did you get involved with it? Well?
20:41
Speaker 1: Healthy Wage camp came and wanted to partner with me
20:44
Speaker 1: because I've been off sugar since March of two thousand eighteen,
20:47
Speaker 1: when my son, Jeffrey said to me because I'm a
20:49
Speaker 1: Type two diabetic and I was eating candy bar, and
20:52
Speaker 1: he said, with urgency in his voice, he said, Mommy, mommy,
20:56
Speaker 1: if you um die, who's gonna be my bodyguard? And
20:59
Speaker 1: that has hit me so much that you know, I
21:02
Speaker 1: have the son that is only thirteen years old. If
21:05
Speaker 1: something happens to me, who's gonna take care of him?
21:08
Speaker 1: And it literally kept me full in the face. I
21:11
Speaker 1: stopped eating sugar like right there. It was a rough
21:14
Speaker 1: year of giving up sugar because I love everything that
21:17
Speaker 1: has sugar in it. But I lost about twenty five
21:19
Speaker 1: pounds and I gave up dairy, so I haven't been
21:22
Speaker 1: on dairy, and um, people's already taking notice of my
21:26
Speaker 1: weight loss, but it was more so about my commitment
21:28
Speaker 1: to health. And Healthy Wage came and they said, well, wow,
21:31
Speaker 1: we offer people money as an incentive to lose weight,
21:35
Speaker 1: because sometimes, you know, you go to work and you
21:37
Speaker 1: all have a bet who can lose the most weight
21:39
Speaker 1: and you win money. Sometimes that's a really great incentive.
21:41
Speaker 1: But what I liked about healthy wage was you had
21:44
Speaker 1: to do it in six months. So if you're doing
21:47
Speaker 1: something for six months, that's you're creating a habit. And
21:51
Speaker 1: that's what I liked about healthy Wage. So you can
21:53
Speaker 1: go to healthy wage dot com and bet on yourself
21:56
Speaker 1: for six months to lose a certain amount of weight,
21:59
Speaker 1: and you can lose it in six months, you will
22:01
Speaker 1: win money. I'm even betting on myself to lose weight
22:05
Speaker 1: because sometimes that gives you a jump start. And for me,
22:08
Speaker 1: because I eat out all the time, I had gained
22:09
Speaker 1: a couple of pounds. I said I want to lose
22:11
Speaker 1: some weight, and because I have bet myself, I say, okay,
22:15
Speaker 1: IM gonn go to the gym today and I'm gonna
22:17
Speaker 1: do something different. But that's what I love about healthy ways.
22:20
Speaker 1: It's just an intentive to win some money, and it's
22:23
Speaker 1: fun and it's creating. It's like a lifestyle change because
22:28
Speaker 1: I'm all about changing a lifestyle. When i went to
22:30
Speaker 1: the doctor, they told me I wasn't even a diabetic
22:33
Speaker 1: anymore because I had to stay off sugar for so long.
22:36
Speaker 1: So I steel better, I have more energy. It's just
22:39
Speaker 1: been great. Well, my friend, uh, you said I couldn't
