4:42
Speaker 1: one of our mutual friends who were you know it
4:45
Speaker 1: was also a ball player, and you know, me and
4:48
Speaker 1: John just kind of hit it off. You know. I
4:49
Speaker 1: met John to kind of help me do some some
4:52
Speaker 1: other things, and you know, the more, the more and
4:55
Speaker 1: more I was around him, and the more and more
4:57
Speaker 1: we got to talk, and you know, we were kind
4:58
Speaker 1: of you know, very like mine and um, you know,
5:01
Speaker 1: when John kind of came to came to me with
5:03
Speaker 1: this idea, UM and I met Mo, I was like,
5:06
Speaker 1: oh man, absolutely kind of felt like a brotherhood, felt
5:10
Speaker 1: like a family, and so um, all three of us
5:12
Speaker 1: hit it off, and um, you know we uh, you know,
5:15
Speaker 1: we put our brains together and started this company. Okay. Cool, Now,
5:19
Speaker 1: when you how old is the company and where is
5:21
Speaker 1: it based? John, I'm gonna share conversational based. So Donzel
5:25
Speaker 1: just spoke so John, he met you, then met Mo.
5:29
Speaker 1: I'm just showed your name. Mo. I'm in the family now.
5:33
Speaker 1: Um so. So, so with that being said, you know
5:37
Speaker 1: you want to start a company, you have individuals, you know,
5:39
Speaker 1: you have decision makers. Where did you did you guys
5:41
Speaker 1: have an office somewhere in Virginia or where where? Give
5:45
Speaker 1: me some infrastructure? Yeah, we're we're actually based out of Alexandria, Virginia.
5:52
Speaker 1: There and so we're just the basic structure. You do,
5:57
Speaker 1: you have an eight to five? How does it work?
5:59
Speaker 1: Because because you're doing a lot of things here, you're saying, uh,
6:01
Speaker 1: you innovative real estate company that truly goes to extra
6:04
Speaker 1: yard for their clients. What does that mean when you
6:06
Speaker 1: say that? So So, originally we came into this one
6:11
Speaker 1: to really focus on the brokerage side of it and
6:13
Speaker 1: do flips on the side, you know, fasters in private money.
6:17
Speaker 1: But what happened is the flips kind of took over
6:20
Speaker 1: because we started getting so many properties and interesting that
6:24
Speaker 1: that we wanted to set up that structure. And then
6:27
Speaker 1: this year we we set that up. Now we're kind
6:29
Speaker 1: of gonna focus on the brokerage end of it with standards,
6:32
Speaker 1: selling and listing. So this year is going to be
6:36
Speaker 1: the more in inf in office operations. So we're setting
6:40
Speaker 1: all that up right now. So with that being said,
6:43
Speaker 1: flipping homes are buying homes. Do you guys go out
6:46
Speaker 1: on your own line service? Do you physically go out
6:48
Speaker 1: looking at these homes? You go out of physically scouting
6:50
Speaker 1: these homes? How does they work with your company? So
6:54
Speaker 1: I don't know, did you guys get MO on the
6:56
Speaker 1: line yet? Yeah? Long here? Now how you doing? They
7:02
Speaker 1: said you couldn't talk earlier, That's why I didn't bring
7:04
Speaker 1: up your name. Welcome to the show Money Making Conversations.
7:06
Speaker 1: I'm a host, ro Sean McDonald. Welcome, my friend, Thank you. Um.
7:12
Speaker 1: But yeah, so far as finding the homes, we have
7:14
Speaker 1: different avenues of finding them, uh, anywhere from local people
7:18
Speaker 1: scouting it from all the way to directly from banks. Uh.
7:23
Speaker 1: We often tend to get them prior to the prior
7:25
Speaker 1: of them hitting the auction. That kind of gives us
7:28
Speaker 1: the edge over competitive you know market out here. Okay,
7:33
Speaker 1: so I would tell you my first home. I bought
7:36
Speaker 1: was I was a home. I bought it auction, okay,
7:39
Speaker 1: and and I went there and I bid on it,
7:42
Speaker 1: and uh, that was my first home and it was
7:44
Speaker 1: a great deal, you know, and I got into it.
7:47
Speaker 1: So now I see people and I and it was
7:50
Speaker 1: just listed. You can buy. You can buy all the
7:51
Speaker 1: home and you can buy them and then you can
7:53
Speaker 1: fix them up a little bit and you can flip them.
7:55
Speaker 1: Is that what you guys are doing or how does
7:58
Speaker 1: your business model work? Or is it something you have
8:01
Speaker 1: a franchise eventually or is something just gonna be at Alexandria.
8:04
Speaker 1: You three guys are just gonna gonna build the franchise
8:07
Speaker 1: out of that. What what? What's the future of this
8:09
Speaker 1: this format? The future of this, I believe is, uh, well,
8:13
Speaker 1: we have a big aspect of this from the broken
8:15
Speaker 1: side helping people buy and sell homes. Um so that's
8:19
Speaker 1: something we're also focusing on a lot. But a big
8:22
Speaker 1: portion of that is, you know, flipping homes as well.
8:26
Speaker 1: And right now, as you mentioned, you know, you would
8:29
Speaker 1: purchased the home that's online, so we're doing something similar.
8:32
Speaker 1: But again, before the public gets to actually see these homes,
8:37
Speaker 1: we tend to sometimes get listings before they actually go
8:40
Speaker 1: to that auction. So what you see sometimes we'll probably
8:44
Speaker 1: get that first and if we don't want it at
8:46
Speaker 1: that point, it ends up in public auctions. Okay, so
8:50
Speaker 1: you get you get the first look. Yeah, exactly. So
8:53
Speaker 1: we have a private VFP investor list that we often
8:56
Speaker 1: get so we can kind of scalp through it and
8:59
Speaker 1: we'll know some just make sense what doesn't. So we
9:01
Speaker 1: don't never check up anything that we know is uh,
9:05
Speaker 1: it's not really going to be looked at it far
9:07
Speaker 1: us in terms of but we're we always make sure
9:10
Speaker 1: all of our numbers are safe. But I just want
9:12
Speaker 1: to break into the real estate business, So that do
9:14
Speaker 1: you want to take over? How I broke into Rishan.
9:17
Speaker 1: When I bought my first house, the builder kind of
9:19
Speaker 1: approached me like, hey, you know, especially being an athlete,
9:22
Speaker 1: you get a lot of guys come up to you
9:23
Speaker 1: about deals, and um, you know, for me, real estate
9:26
Speaker 1: kind of made sense because it was something, something attainable,
9:29
Speaker 1: something you can physically put your hands on. Um. And
9:33
Speaker 1: so even if you quote unquote didn't sell the house,
9:36
Speaker 1: you still had something of value kind of sitting there
9:40
Speaker 1: and so um, you know, I've always gravitated towards real estate. UM,
9:44
Speaker 1: I still own a bunch of land now, and you know,
9:48
Speaker 1: it's just something for me that that I feel like
9:50
Speaker 1: we'll always appreciate and no one's making any more land.
9:55
Speaker 1: That's what that's God's you know that. Yeah, and that
10:00
Speaker 1: that's the true point of this. And so so the
10:02
Speaker 1: thing that I want to make sure that everybody understand
10:04
Speaker 1: my first our real estate group is that first of all,
10:07
Speaker 1: you based in the Auditton, Virginia area, and this is
10:10
Speaker 1: a this is a business that cares about the clients
10:12
Speaker 1: that come to them. Correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, you know,
10:16
Speaker 1: we want to treat it as a partnership. Um. You know,
10:19
Speaker 1: another aspect of what we do, it's say you're a
10:22
Speaker 1: you know, you're a homeowner, and you know you have
10:24
Speaker 1: a house that you could probably sell right now, but
10:28
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get get as much money as if you
10:30
Speaker 1: could go in there and redo that home and actually
10:33
Speaker 1: get get what you could get what the market says
10:36
Speaker 1: you should get for that home, but you just don't
10:38
Speaker 1: have the financial means to to go in there and
10:41
Speaker 1: put that kind of money down into the home. We're
10:43
Speaker 1: the kind of company that will partner up with you
10:46
Speaker 1: you keep the home in your name, will go in
10:48
Speaker 1: do the repairs and then we'll we'll help you maximize
10:52
Speaker 1: the value of that home and sell it and you
10:54
Speaker 1: make money, we make money, and so um. You know,
10:57
Speaker 1: it's you know, it really is a partnership with our lines,
11:00
Speaker 1: and you know, we want their home to be um,
11:03
Speaker 1: you know, as as nice of the other investment for
11:07
Speaker 1: them as it was when they initially bought it. For
11:09
Speaker 1: the next person. That that's that's important. Like for this
11:12
Speaker 1: little things that you can do. Paint your house, fix
11:15
Speaker 1: your landscape. You know, everybody knows. You renovate that bathroom
11:18
Speaker 1: in that kitchen, that can upgrade the pricing. Yeah, yeah,
11:23
Speaker 1: just the bathroom of the kitchen. That's that's the two
11:26
Speaker 1: elements you make them look good. You can put a
11:28
Speaker 1: couple of thousands on that price tag when you do
11:30
Speaker 1: those two things. Now here's the part about it. Do
11:33
Speaker 1: you guys go out there and do it yourself or
11:35
Speaker 1: you hired companies to do it? When you talk about
11:37
Speaker 1: that renovation, that's a that's a question for John right there,
11:42
Speaker 1: because John kind of runs the construction side of things.
11:45
Speaker 1: Construction company. Y'all sound like a TV show man, Come

12:17
Speaker 1: do have. We do have several crews that we send
12:19
Speaker 1: into the arms and in the signum to a particular

Speaker 1: a personal assistant, and I just watched your expertise and
17:47
Speaker 1: just watched how you handled all of the business or
17:50
Speaker 1: handled the business. And I was inspired. And I knew
17:53
Speaker 1: that I, you know, had an inkling for acting, but
17:56
Speaker 1: I had been burnt so much and got out of
18:00
Speaker 1: the business. And that just said, you know what, this
18:02
Speaker 1: is not for me. Let me just assist some people.
18:04
Speaker 1: And that's that I went over there. I started working
18:06
Speaker 1: at Wendy rock Hill's School, Amazing Grace Concernatory in California,
18:11
Speaker 1: and and I was a personal assistant for Mr Harvey
18:15
Speaker 1: and Mrs Harvey and um, and I just had a
18:18
Speaker 1: great time doing that. I was the Minister of Music
18:21
Speaker 1: at my church and I just said, this is where
18:23
Speaker 1: I'm going to be for the rest. And then I
18:26
Speaker 1: went to a Winston Salem, North Carolina, and and I
18:30
Speaker 1: was doing a favor for somebody. I was in a
18:32
Speaker 1: place for about ten minutes and Mr Perry was there,
18:35
Speaker 1: and that man came through and I was just like,
18:37
Speaker 1: what a man is a church? Now I'm good. I
18:40
Speaker 1: was just gonna stay all over it with Steve. Now,
18:42
Speaker 1: I'm good. Thank you know, Mr Barry, And he was like, no,
18:45
Speaker 1: I really want you to be a part of it.
18:46
Speaker 1: I enjoyed your performance. And I said okay. And then
18:49
Speaker 1: one of my preacher friends intervening and said, a food
18:52
Speaker 1: they made us calling you, and you're not gonna go out.
18:54
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, I'm good. She said, hey,
18:57
Speaker 1: you've got a miss God. I called Mr Perry and
18:59
Speaker 1: tooth out before Rashawn and I've been rolling with that
19:02
Speaker 1: man ever since. I know when I tell you he
19:04
Speaker 1: is a quickening. That's what I referred to him. Man,
19:07
Speaker 1: He's a quickening. And that is just simply when you
19:10
Speaker 1: are dead and lying dormant and you need something to
19:13
Speaker 1: just jolt you and bring you back to life. That
19:16
Speaker 1: is what Tyler Peary did for me, and he just
19:18
Speaker 1: really reinfirmed and reinstated my whole belief in acting and
19:23
Speaker 1: performing and being before people. And I knew I had
19:28
Speaker 1: a gift, you know, to be before people only because
19:31
Speaker 1: I didn't need, uh, the accolades, and I don't I
19:34
Speaker 1: don't need someone to glorify me. I just really like
19:37
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing, and I like making people laugh
19:40
Speaker 1: and I love having fun. And Mr Pearer just came
19:43
Speaker 1: in right on time because just he's just awesome and
19:46
Speaker 1: so I had a great time. And uh when I

22:25
Speaker 1: excited with Sean's good. Yeah. Absolutely me this because of
22:29
Speaker 1: the fact that when you when you talk about live stage,
22:33
Speaker 1: that's what you're on a live stage tour. And then
22:35
Speaker 1: you've done television and you've done many films what you
22:39
Speaker 1: like the most because you're a comedian, you're a comedian
22:41

22:49
Speaker 1: I don't know, Richard. I'll let me tell you. I
22:52
Speaker 1: enjoy each medium. I really do live data. There's nothing
22:57
Speaker 1: better than just you know. You know what's amazing to
22:59
Speaker 1: me is that these theaters, ten thousand people in one setting,
23:04
Speaker 1: all strangers, not knowing each other, but they're laughing at
23:07
Speaker 1: the same time, um, crying at the same time, and
23:11
Speaker 1: they're enjoying Medea. They enjoyed Tylerperia. They're coming out because
23:16
Speaker 1: of Tyliperia. Now my job to me is as Mr
23:19
Speaker 1: Perious pleased, and I've done my job. But when those
23:22
Speaker 1: people come out and I have to come out for
23:25
Speaker 1: a curtain call and they're they're rooting and cheering and
23:28
Speaker 1: screaming and clapping for me, it is just um unbelievable.
23:33
Speaker 1: Because you know, Rashan, you know, I don't have any
23:36
Speaker 1: acting classes. I've never had and you know, and I
23:39
Speaker 1: don't have that agent and manager. So I sometimes I
23:42
Speaker 1: feel like I'm an illegitimate actress or actor. But I
23:47
Speaker 1: still serve the same God that that just surpasses all
23:51
Speaker 1: of the norms and all of the things that are
23:53
Speaker 1: natural or supposed to be done. But he I like
23:56
Speaker 1: my testimony, so um and A it's an honest testim easy,
24:03
Speaker 1: it really really really is. And you say I'm famous
24:07
Speaker 1: in and sometimes I sometimes I believe it because um,
24:12
Speaker 1: because of all the people that that greet me, you know,
24:15
Speaker 1: and they're just like, is that you do? You know
24:17
Speaker 1: who you are? And I'm not like, no, well you
24:20
Speaker 1: know what I do? What I don't think you do something?
24:23
Speaker 1: You're The funny point about you, I'm gonna tell you
24:25
Speaker 1: this about you, is that because she's so humble, she
24:28
Speaker 1: really really is so humble. And so if she so
24:32
Speaker 1: when she walks in a certain people, I'm telling you,
24:35
Speaker 1: when you start talking about her resume, let's star power
24:38
Speaker 1: tied to it, that's recognition tied to it. So what
24:41
Speaker 1: happens is when people walk up to her, she's so humble,
24:44
Speaker 1: you question, that's the star You go, nah, Now she'd
24:48
Speaker 1: be acting a little bit different. What the bodyguards that well,
24:52
Speaker 1: that can't be her sitting over there in that chair
24:54
Speaker 1: by herself. That can't be her a Chick fil A.
24:57
Speaker 1: I can't believe that's her. So that's what that's what
25:02
Speaker 1: people out because of the fact that so they come
25:04
Speaker 1: over with you and they go are you They always
25:06
Speaker 1: they would lead to the right, are you who you do?
25:09
Speaker 1: You know who you remind me of? And I just
25:12
Speaker 1: said to I, really I would do you like her? Yeah?
25:16
Speaker 1: We love her? Oh well, then this is a compliment listening,
25:19
Speaker 1: that's that going to say, sure you know that's me.
25:22
Speaker 1: Get don't out of here, you know that's me. And
25:24
Speaker 1: so it's really a beautiful, beautiful riding I get to meet.
25:28
Speaker 1: Oh but with television and movies, um, you know, those
25:32
Speaker 1: things go way way way across the seas, and to
25:36
Speaker 1: be in Jamaica somewhere trying to have a vacation and
25:38

25:57
Speaker 1: it that that blesses people's lives and can tea used
26:00
Speaker 1: to motivate people and keep them dreaming and you know,

Speaker 1: so much fun to talk to you. Well, it's great,
30:13
Speaker 1: first of all. Always a fan of just just you
30:16
Speaker 1: as a mentor to women in general, your leader. Uh,
30:21
Speaker 1: nothing but great things come up when they talk about
30:23
Speaker 1: your brand and the brand that you consistently promote and
30:27
Speaker 1: get out there with quality shows. And I think that's
30:29
Speaker 1: really the key with you is quality, right, And that's
30:31
Speaker 1: the point of view that you you you strive for correct, Well,
30:35
Speaker 1: you know absolutely, And I was gonna say, Um, by
30:37
Speaker 1: the way, we changed and we updated the name of
30:40
Speaker 1: our show, it's all Games People Play now, Okay, cool?
30:44
Speaker 1: But yeah, but you're right because it was based on
30:45
Speaker 1: the book Games Diva's Play and Bert Murder right exactly
30:50
Speaker 1: exactly as editor as My Girl. Now that's my girl too.
30:54
Speaker 1: And this is the second project that that we've done together.
30:57
Speaker 1: So we did another movie for Lifetime, the one called
30:59
Speaker 1: With This Spring that was based on her first book.
31:04
Speaker 1: Right here we go again. Um, but yeah, Rishan, You're
31:08
Speaker 1: absolutely right. It's like it's all about you know, quality control,
31:12
Speaker 1: you know everything that you do, every project that I
31:15
Speaker 1: work on, and you know, paying attention to detail on everything.
31:20
Speaker 1: And so for me as a producer, I'm hands on.
31:24
Speaker 1: I'm not phoning it in. There are a lot of
31:26
Speaker 1: people that you'll see in Hollywood that will put their
31:29
Speaker 1: name on a show. Um, and networks will pay people
31:33
Speaker 1: to executive produce and especially celebrities and put their name
31:36
Speaker 1: on a show. They'll get a check, but they're not
31:38
Speaker 1: involved in the production at all. And you know, I'm
31:41
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. I'm like, they're you know, picking wardrobe,
31:47
Speaker 1: you know, approving hair and makeup, you know, interviewing the directors,
31:53
Speaker 1: interviewing the department heads, you know, giving script notes, giving
31:58
Speaker 1: editorial notes. You know. I will be involved in all
32:01
Speaker 1: the marketing and promotion you know as well, but you know,
32:04
Speaker 1: quality control over everything that I put my name on.
32:06
Speaker 1: It is really really important because I want I wanted
32:09
Speaker 1: to be the best, and I want people to be
32:11
Speaker 1: excited about what they're watching. And that's important because I'm
32:14
Speaker 1: gonna just tell everybody that's generally what happens with all
32:17
Speaker 1: the big producers. And she falls in line with the
32:20
Speaker 1: big producers or I'm talking about J. J. Abrahams and
32:22
Speaker 1: all these individuals, and that's why they tend to see
32:25
Speaker 1: the same nothing negative about They will care the same producers,
32:29
Speaker 1: same quality people on and sometimes they care the same
32:32
Speaker 1: actors and actresses to different projects. And that's called relationship. People.
32:36
Speaker 1: You can trust people understand your direction. They won't be
32:40
Speaker 1: sitting over the tripping, won't come out to trailer when
32:42
Speaker 1: they told him come out to trailer when we're talking
32:44
Speaker 1: about I got a ride, I need black jelly beans
32:46
Speaker 1: only this is this is, this is why you get
32:51
Speaker 1: shows done correctly, she laughing. You don't tell the truth,
32:53
Speaker 1: and now you are. It's so funny, but you know
32:56
Speaker 1: what we I am so blessed and it's like that,
32:59
Speaker 1: you know, with this project, and you know the other
33:01
Speaker 1: movies and shows that I've worked on, I honestly can
33:04

42:59
Speaker 1: a uh you've been a brand maker. Now you kind
43:02
Speaker 1: of like at the forefront and being recognized as a
43:05
Speaker 1: talent yourself and producing and you're you're more on the
43:09
Speaker 1: forefront now will I say that? Am I right when
43:11
Speaker 1: staying that now? Um? Very regret regrettably, Yes, I'm starting
43:17
Speaker 1: to come out on the forefront. I think you probably
43:21
Speaker 1: can relate a little bit like we've been behind the
43:23
Speaker 1: bees for many years helping you know, architect and craft
43:28
Speaker 1: even talents with and uh. And I have to give
43:31
Speaker 1: major props to my talent because they're the ones that
43:34
Speaker 1: have been kicking me in the behind saying, you know,
43:36
Speaker 1: you've got to get out there, You've got to get
43:38
Speaker 1: out there, I think, especially with what's happening in the world,
43:41
Speaker 1: you know, just with with uh, you know, diversity and
43:44
Speaker 1: gender equality and and uh. Just just as you can
43:48
Speaker 1: tell IM stuttering a little bit because I hate talking
43:51
Speaker 1: about myself. But as someone said to me, you know,
43:54
Speaker 1: think about how it's helping the people coming after us
43:57
Speaker 1: as well as you know, our our company, and we
44:00
Speaker 1: got a lot of young people that work with us
44:02
Speaker 1: here at SMACK who I just love and respect. And
44:04
Speaker 1: if it's going to help you know, our business grow
44:07
Speaker 1: and their careers, and this is sort of what's doing
44:09
Speaker 1: it so long way to say thank you for having me. Well,
44:12
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, is that that's why I developed
44:14
Speaker 1: the show. You know, I developed the show and uh
44:16
Speaker 1: because I couldn't. I could not stop being as they say, famous.
44:19
Speaker 1: You know, people will find you, people will follow you.
44:23
Speaker 1: And so either you do two things. You go with flow,
44:26
Speaker 1: which I decided to go with the flow and build
44:29
Speaker 1: my brand out and it's becoming an incredibly the next level.
44:32
Speaker 1: You know. I built it with Steve and then all
44:34
Speaker 1: of a sudden it took me like a little bit
44:36
Speaker 1: too nurture and let everybody know that this is what
44:38
Speaker 1: Sean McDonald's brand. And now it is going growing exponential.
44:43
Speaker 1: And I feel that's happening to you because, and I'm
44:45
Speaker 1: gonna tell you this constant, I can tell in your
44:47
Speaker 1: personality there's a difference, and that's a positive thing because
44:52
Speaker 1: you know, your energy level when we used to talk
44:54
Speaker 1: was a little bit low, a little bit different, you know,
44:58
Speaker 1: and now it's it's it's seems to be bigger, and
45:00
Speaker 1: it seems to be more more um promotional. And because
45:05
Speaker 1: you're willing to talk about your success story, your your
45:08
Speaker 1: your side of the story, which is a very important story.
45:11
Speaker 1: To be told nowadays. Correct, Thank you? Yeah, I agree,
45:15
Speaker 1: And I think probably um, as you get older and
45:18
Speaker 1: have a lot of you know, childs and tribulations and
45:21
Speaker 1: failures which you can turn into success, it um brings
45:24
Speaker 1: I think a level of confidence and maybe some calmness.
45:28
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a big step for me
45:30
Speaker 1: because I'm going to be fifty in a couple of
45:32
Speaker 1: weeks and you look fantastic. You know you look fantastic,
45:35
Speaker 1: right I don't, but thank you for saying it. I'll uh.
45:41
Speaker 1: I think when I'm fifty in one day, I'm gonna
45:43
Speaker 1: own it and I'm going to just say the heck
45:46
Speaker 1: with it and it is what it is. And I
45:47
Speaker 1: think that's a lot of what transers over into sort
45:50
Speaker 1: of you know, the business of it all is just
45:53
Speaker 1: also finding some confidence in your looks too. Is you're
45:56
Speaker 1: about to turn this milestone birthday. Well, you know, I
45:58
Speaker 1: did a big video they were viral about not having
46:03
Speaker 1: age as an excuse. You know that you can do
46:05
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, whatever age you are. And
46:08
Speaker 1: a lot of people when you hit a certain platform
46:10
Speaker 1: with it's fifty or sixty, they feel there, this is it.
46:13
Speaker 1: I can't dream anymore. I can't plan anymore. And I
46:16
Speaker 1: know that when I'm looking at your what you're doing now,
46:20
Speaker 1: it's the sky's the limit. Now you might be turning fifty,
46:24
Speaker 1: but wow, you're gonna be busy to your hundred hopefully not.
46:29
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out when this retirement plan is
46:31
Speaker 1: going to happen. It's not gonna you know, it's not.
46:35
Speaker 1: I know everyone says, who are you kidding? You're not
46:37
Speaker 1: a lunching uh lady, you know, shopping type of person.
46:40
Speaker 1: And I know deep down that's the truth. And and
46:43
Speaker 1: I think you know, spiritually and and just my soul
46:47
Speaker 1: and my spirit, I definitely don't feel fifty. And I
46:50
Speaker 1: also think you know that your their truth and what
46:52
Speaker 1: you're saying is I'm just getting started. Okay, before we
46:54
Speaker 1: get to the management company, they sent me some recent interviews,
46:58
Speaker 1: you know, because I could though, And these some of
47:01
Speaker 1: the titles of the interviews that they said, what is
47:03
Speaker 1: really like to be a female boss in the male
47:05
Speaker 1: dominated industry? That was one title, how to make it
47:08
Speaker 1: as a woman in an NFL, And then the one
47:11
Speaker 1: I really like is uh uh constant swats Marina on
47:15
Speaker 1: why she works ten time harder than members of the
47:18
Speaker 1: Lucky Sparm Club. That's my favorite. That's my favorite. Oh
47:27
Speaker 1: my goodness. That was one of my first interviews when
47:30
Speaker 1: I realized that they're always going to pull that one
47:33
Speaker 1: line out that you don't realize as you're saying, is
47:35
Speaker 1: that it's a little little polarizing maybe, but it's the truth. Well,
47:41
Speaker 1: that's why, that's why I got you on the phone,
47:44
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know a lot of
47:47
Speaker 1: it's the device show. It's an informational show. It's a
47:49
Speaker 1: show about what can you do? And you know, men
47:53
Speaker 1: dominate this business, and sometimes women, attractive women can be
47:58
Speaker 1: perceived as just attractive women and you have to fight
48:01
Speaker 1: even harder to get your voice heard, as you know,
48:04
Speaker 1: for as you know, you are an attractive young lady
48:07
Speaker 1: and so and so you can't run from that. But
48:09
Speaker 1: you also shouldn't be held held uh that is the
48:13
Speaker 1: negative and be treated a certain way. And what to
48:17
Speaker 1: me about that journey a little bit of being able
48:19
Speaker 1: to get your voice in this business because you're still
48:21
Speaker 1: getting it, just like I'm still getting my voice of
48:24
Speaker 1: being a female in this business, and you know it's
48:26
Speaker 1: male dominated. It started for me back in my twenties
48:31
Speaker 1: when I was at the NFL, and I realized that
48:35
Speaker 1: a lot of times, because you're saying it you are
48:36
Speaker 1: an attractive female, people look at you differently. They don't
48:39
Speaker 1: want to hear what you have to say. Um, nothing
48:42
Speaker 1: against you know, attractive women that are pursuing, you know,
48:45
Speaker 1: a business as a cheerleader, which I think is a
48:47
Speaker 1: very lucrative business. But that wasn't my past. And so
48:51
Speaker 1: when you just I think looked at differently when you're
48:53
Speaker 1: trying to be the person that's commanding the room. I
48:56
Speaker 1: dressed differently. I mean I was wearing clothes a size
48:59
Speaker 1: too big for me. You know, I wasn't being myself.
49:02
Speaker 1: I was you know, oversized golf shirts when we're at
49:04
Speaker 1: our events, because you wanted to be taken seriously. And
49:07
Speaker 1: I think there was a moment that came where I
49:10
Speaker 1: had a really successful event and my boss at the
49:14
Speaker 1: time acknowledged it and started really paying attention to me
49:17
Speaker 1: and giving me, you know, the confidence and just I
49:20
Speaker 1: guess the power and the respect to walk into a
49:23
Speaker 1: room and command that seat at the table. And it
49:26
Speaker 1: was that defining moment for me where I was like,
49:27
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to show up in my
49:29
Speaker 1: jeans and my sports coat, like I'm going to show
49:32
Speaker 1: up at these events and wear my heels and not
49:33
Speaker 1: worry about being in in flat shoes and baggy khakis.
49:37
Speaker 1: And it sounds stupid, but mentally it meant so much
49:42
Speaker 1: to say, this is who I am, and this is
49:44
Speaker 1: who I'm going to be, and you know, take it
49:46
Speaker 1: or leave it. Basically, you know, I just didn't believe
49:50
Speaker 1: that because of the fact that you know, even I
49:53
Speaker 1: like to dress. And this is not nowhere close to
49:57
Speaker 1: your conversation, but it is about perception and what people
50:00
Speaker 1: can say, how are you supposed to look? And when
50:02
Speaker 1: I was right, I mean my early years of writing,
50:04
Speaker 1: when everybody will come in blue jeans and T shirt.
50:06
Speaker 1: I come in a suit or vest or tie, and
50:09
Speaker 1: they will go, why are you dressing like that? I said,
50:10
Speaker 1: because I like dressing like that. So people will will say,
50:14
Speaker 1: there's a standard and the way you're supposed to look
50:16
Speaker 1: and where you're supposed to act, and it will treat
50:18
Speaker 1: you accordingly. Well, I fought. I fought in held onto
50:21
Speaker 1: my values and that's all you're saying. Hold on to
50:23
Speaker 1: your values, hold on to you oho you are and
50:27
Speaker 1: you have a career. But if you succumb to the
50:30
Speaker 1: circumstances what people tell you should look like, or you'd
50:33
Speaker 1: be comparing, or with what other females think about how
50:36
Speaker 1: you're moving up the success ladder, then that can hold
50:39
Speaker 1: you back and cause you to be not not reap
50:42
Speaker 1: the benefits of your talent. And that's what you said.
50:44
Speaker 1: You just said, Hey, I this is who I am. Okay,
50:48
Speaker 1: deal with it, And that's basically what you're saying in
50:50
Speaker 1: this interview. Correct a thousand percent. You said it's way
50:54
Speaker 1: more eloquently than I did. But you've got that right,
50:56
Speaker 1: and you know it's it continues and it still carries on.
50:59
Speaker 1: And you know, when I was managing Snoop half the time,
51:03
Speaker 1: you know, I'm dealing with other managers that just assumed
51:07
Speaker 1: that I was not the person making the decisions. And
51:10
Speaker 1: in the beginning, I think Snoop didn't think I was serious,
51:13
Speaker 1: and I'm like, watch, they're not paying any attention to me.
51:15
Speaker 1: He's like, you're crazy, And sure enough, like there was
51:18
Speaker 1: we were I forget where we were, but at an
51:21
Speaker 1: event and someone was pitching him on a big idea
51:23
Speaker 1: and they just completely ignored me, looked down on me.
51:25
Speaker 1: So I just walked away from the conversation. And at
51:28
Speaker 1: the end of it, the guy was like, well, where's
51:29
Speaker 1: your manager so I can hit him up and you know,
51:31
Speaker 1: close the deal. And Snoop just started laughing. He said,
51:33
Speaker 1: you know the woman that was just standing here and
51:35
Speaker 1: the guy was like mm hmmm, and he said, that's
51:37
Speaker 1: the manager. Good luck, brother. And I think that's such
51:43
Speaker 1: a key thing is that I've always had the support
51:46
Speaker 1: of my clients, you know, whether it's Dion or stray
51:49
Speaker 1: Hand or Snoop or with Khalifa. I think that's so
51:51
Speaker 1: important that they're the ones that are just helping because
51:54
Speaker 1: I say it all the time, Yes women need to
51:57
Speaker 1: lift women up, but without the support of the men
52:00
Speaker 1: and we work with, it's a feudal effort. And and
52:02
Speaker 1: that's the thing something that people are starting to realize
52:05
Speaker 1: is it's it's good to help each other. Like we
52:08
Speaker 1: all succeed, we win as a team, we lose as
52:10
Speaker 1: a team. You know, that's a big ethos for us
52:13
Speaker 1: here at SMACK is if you don't play your position,
52:16
Speaker 1: we're not gonna win. And no matter if you're the
52:18
Speaker 1: person getting someone a coffee or a Starbucks or a tea,
52:23
Speaker 1: or you're the person that's working on the budget for
52:25
Speaker 1: the next big television show. Everyone has an important role.
52:29
Speaker 1: Now let's get to my my favorite part of the interview.
52:31
Speaker 1: You launched with Michael straighthand clothing Lot and clothing Accessory
52:37
Speaker 1: with j C. Petty. How did that come about? And
52:40
Speaker 1: and and tell me the backstory on that. A very
52:44
Speaker 1: good friend of mine, Arian Romano, who we worked together
52:47
Speaker 1: at the NFL, works for PVH. And when Strahan started
52:52
Speaker 1: working on Kelly and Michael, he needed a lot of
52:56
Speaker 1: suits and ties, and so I went to her and
52:59
Speaker 1: I said, hey, can you help me out, you know,
53:00
Speaker 1: with whatever you guys have for him. You know, we'll
53:03
Speaker 1: figure something out. She said, I can only do the ties,
53:06
Speaker 1: but let me introduce you to a guy named Richie
53:08
Speaker 1: Wertzberger over at Peerless, and I'm sure they can work
53:11
Speaker 1: something out with you guys or some suits. So we
53:13
Speaker 1: go over there and they couldn't have been nicer. And
53:16
Speaker 1: you know, Michael and Richie and his father had a
53:18
Speaker 1: great relationship, and a few I think probably a few
53:22
Speaker 1: months after it, Richie said to us, listen, um, you
53:24
Speaker 1: know Michael wear suits so well. Jacy Pennies, Yes he does.
53:29
Speaker 1: And J. C. Pennies is looking for, um, you know,
53:32
Speaker 1: expanding in the men's line. And I said, well, who
53:35
Speaker 1: better than Michael because six days, sometimes seven days a week,
53:38
Speaker 1: twice a day, this guy's wearing a suit. And we
53:41
Speaker 1: we met with them, um goll yeah. I think it
53:44
Speaker 1: was about six years ago. But the timing wasn't right.
53:48
Speaker 1: And they said, we get it, but we're just not ready.
53:50
Speaker 1: And we said, we understand, and we're gonna wait, because
53:54
Speaker 1: who wants to rush into a bad deal. And so
53:56
Speaker 1: they came back to us about a year later and
53:58
Speaker 1: they said, let's develop this and we just started with suits,
54:02
Speaker 1: shirts and ties. And I got to say, and you know,
54:05
Speaker 1: your boy, he is so hands on with this. Not
54:08
Speaker 1: one article of clothing that hits the stories that he
54:11
Speaker 1: hasn't felt the fabric, moved, the zipper, changed the button,
54:14
Speaker 1: change the fabric. It's you know, authenticity. I mean that's
54:19
Speaker 1: the key to success, authenticity. If your name's on it,
54:22
Speaker 1: you better own it, good and bad. He constance. Here's
54:25
Speaker 1: here's the deal. First of all, we connected, Um, I
54:29
Speaker 1: want to tell your story more. I hope you have
54:31
Speaker 1: to hope your time in the future I'm not gonna
54:33
Speaker 1: bug you next month, but I want to bring you
54:35
Speaker 1: back on and I would love it. And let's talk
54:38
Speaker 1: because everybody just stud you was blown away by your story.

Speaker 1: Because that's why I wanted to bring you on the show.
