• 2:37
  Speaker 1: do it with one of the most articulate people. I know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: That's what got me nervous. You know, follower countries used

• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that before I say anything. Congratulations on the show. This
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is so necessary and you know I'm looking forward to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: just listening in because this is a necessary conversation from
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a necessary authority. Well, I appreciate that, but I want
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you to do more talking than listening because the reason
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the fact that I'm on HBCU campuses, I'm
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: on Howard University campus for my serious XM. And that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: was a plan of action when I sat down, Because
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I sat down with my my peers. They go and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: my and my team in the sponsors and they go,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: who are you talking to, Roschane, Who are you gonna
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: talk to us? I want to talk to millennials eighteen
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to thirty four, and I want to be divars of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: HBCU campuses. They go, That's why I said, because they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: need information and they needed from an authority. And so
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to get individuals like you who are authority,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: who is an authority who are able to tell people
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what is your your first break? Before we even get
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: into the book that that you that I've read, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I like, we were talking so much before the interview,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I was I need to just shut up talking and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: start this interview. Becauld you. I've seen your Disney Dreamers
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and not these people that you've talked to, Disney Dreamers
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: or not. In colleges, not just HBCU campus, but in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: colleges in general, but because I am prominently on HBCU
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: campus and you know you are the authority inner and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: out of beauty for women of color, talk to me,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you know. It's on. What I feel is so critical,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: particularly for this age group, is for them to realize
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that they must be strategic in their lives. Uh. Quite frankly,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the ability to master life and all that you're destined
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to be is inextricably bound to how rich you are
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the inner me. And I really
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: want to see them make that investment, that internal investment
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in themselves, you know, so that they can lead feelst
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and inspired lines. They are creating a new script. It
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: is resting upon their shoulders to do so, and they
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: need to be informed. They need to really map out
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the destiny and the road that they want to take.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: One of the other things I say in a book
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that I think is so essential is that you need
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a celebration circle. Each of them needs to have those
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: strategic groups, a group of people around them, because your
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: greatness was not designed to operate in isolation. So it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: one thing to have a dream, it's one thing to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: have a vision. But what's critical, particularly for millennials, because
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they are living in this high touch age, but what
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it has UH Foston in them is that they become
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a low touch community. They really don't connect well with others,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, certainly not on the level that they need
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to as they pursue their dreams and goals. But one
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of the things I am recommending is that each of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: them UH surround themselves to what I call a celebration circle.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That's the team of ride or die folks who are
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in your corner, who know you, who to see you win,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and who will be with you when in the great
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: seasons and in the valley if you will. You know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: we all face adversity, we all face challenge it, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you need those around you who see you for the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: truth of who you are, who want to help you win,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: who help you stage to come back on those days
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: when you don't believe in yourself or when things have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: gone differently than you expected. And UH that's important because again,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: your greatness was not designed to operate in isolation. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that's one of the things I'm recommending, particularly to millennials,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because I find that they are not connected their network,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but they are not connected and they certainly don't have
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that UH group or circle of people around them. Uh,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to help them get from point A to point Z. Now,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: when you wrote this book, how can they connect with
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: your book? What what values do you are you delivering
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in your book? That will be essential because all their
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the entrepreneur mentality and you're talking about inner beauty and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: outer beauty, which you really you know, understand yourself, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they exhibit a professional lifestyle to be successful. That's all
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you're really talking about. So how does it connect? So so,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: first of all, I'm we believe that opportunity favors the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: prepared mind, and so that means that no matter what
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: age you are, really you have to do the critical
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: work and that begins within. And so the first thing
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that I talked about that chapter one, to me is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a goal mind chapter because they asked you to know
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: your value. Your value, you know, so often we're shopping
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the so called green and grasses on the other side,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So much of the way we live is program and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in sync with the ways of others, and we have
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to get still to know what's on our hearts or
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: what we were created to do. You know. Oftentimes, even opportunity,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: particularly when you're young, opportunity passes potential goodbye is that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you get the opportunity to get this great
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: job and it takes figure paychecks, But was that what
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you were created to do? What is that thing that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you do so well? Because that is what was divinely
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: given to you to create your empire. So the first
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: thing you have to know your value, understand your divine
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: is your purpose, because your life should demonstrate that you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: know who you are and your every move should be
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in sync with that. One of the other things that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I say is treasure your vision space. You know, that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: your mind, that's your command central, and if you're going
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to be strategic about your life, you really have to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: treasure what goes in the information that you have solved,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the people around you who influence you for the good,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the bad, or the ugly if you will, and really
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: UH recognize that this is your sacred territory. So you've
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: got to honor yourself from that place. You've got to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: know yourself because that is uh the space of which
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: your actions are directed. So that's another thing that I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: say to particularly to millennials, because they are moving fast.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: They are moving faster than any generation probably before them.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And when you move at a pace that doesn't allow
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you to slow down and touch base. You're you're bound
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to some things along the way. You're you, uh, you're
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: abounding to latch onto any opportunity if you will. But
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: when you're clear about who you are and what you
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: bring to the table, you don't back onto any opportunity.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: In fact, you don't even wait for opportunity to find you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You create it. So these are some of the real
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: connecting points. Um. Certainly I tell them that you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you need to master your purpose with distinction, not just
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: what do you mean when you say that? What do
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you mean when you say that? What is your unique
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: value proposition? What did you bring to the table and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: bring it in such a way that no one else
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: can do it like you when you when you step
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: up to the plate to play ball. So you really
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: have to walk work on that. You have to polish that,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you have to perfect it, get what you need so
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that it is a goal mine experience. You know, people
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: should uh, you should not only dream, but and and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and set out to achieve, but you should visualize how
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to serve people who it's going to serve.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: What's gonna be so different about what you bring to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the table that no one could take their eyes off
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of you, and that you in fact become a destination
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: brand because we're all brands, even those of us who
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: work for companies. You know, millennials, many of them are.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I talked to them all the time that advertising in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: corporate situations, well, you don't only want to make sure
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that brand them is growing. How is brand you grow? Absolutely?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: How how is brand new? And what are you polishing
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: about brand you? And how you setting up your next territory,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not just increasing their territory. And that's important. I would
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you wanna let you know that when I was reading
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the book, because we're gonna be ready to go to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the next break and I'm gonna set it up the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Mickey isms and one of the Mickey isms that really
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: affected me and I thought hit home with me, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it and we're gonna discuss it in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the next break. You need to learn how to lovely
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: accept compliments because folks are all are really bragging on God,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: your or your architect when they compliment you. That is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: something that um when I was working with Steve and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: building his career and doing all these amazing things, people
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: will compliment me. And it's not now until you know
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I developed money making conversation. I really understood what my
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: role in my success because of the fact that I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: was just head down and just grinding. You saw me,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you know, I was just out there. And so when
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we come back, I want you to we're gonna, We're gonna.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be our topic about accepting and acknowledging who
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you are so you can get your blessing is the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: right way. We're right back with more money making conversations.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: She's the best. Mickey Taylor got me motivated. I just
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: res Sean McDonald. You're listening to money making conversation I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: have on the phone. An incredible lady. That's impact. It've
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: been in my life a long time because she's always
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: out there at the just a warrior, a warrior for change,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a warrior to let you know that you can be successful.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Her name's Mickey Taylor. And before we left, I brought
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: up something from her book, her new book that we're
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: discussing um about her. Mickey is an that she has
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: throughout the book. That was the first thing that really
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: caught my attention, because you do talk a certain way Mickey,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you know that if this is to have a book
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: with your little, your little eloquent statements that you're just
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: kind of like off the cuff saying, people go, you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: should put that on t shirt. I know you heard
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that many times, and to put it on a book.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And one that really affected me, and that's wanted to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: let everybody knows that I have a young daughter and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: this boocause she's she's twenty years old and she's started college,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and she was a tennis pro and she shattered her
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: knee and now she's getting a life together as a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: college student. And this book is one of these books
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that young people should use and adult people using. Even
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a guy like me was affected by it. Mickey is
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: um okay. And the one was you need to learn
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: how to lovely accept compliments because folks are really bragging
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on God your architect when they compliment you. And that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was something I never and my wife's star always get
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: on me about that. She don'way go, I don't worry
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: about don't worry about everybody know what I do. Don't
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: worry about it. I'm not gonna act like but you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in today's society, you really do have to take credit
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: for what you do. And you have to really realize
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that God gave you an opportunity to do something unique
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: except it. Yes, that's exactly right, and say thank you.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Own it, you know, step into it, be be really clear,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: because you know, God created us in a view that
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was pretty intentional. And you know, as I say in
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the book, invalidating each of us, he gave us a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: genesis statement, gave us a seven truth. And you know
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the one that inspires me the most is it says
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that you and I are unprecedented. That means that nothing
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: like us ever was or ever will be. And so
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you have to not shrink back from what I call
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that divine witness that is you. You know, you gotta
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: say thank you. You gotta own it, you gotta be
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: comfortable in it. It is validated by the creator um
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know, the earth and that holds the season their places.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So that is uh greatness and you have to let
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that be your your acceptance of that be your non
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: negotiable platform. Stop apologizing when people compliment you. You know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I look at women sometimes and you know someone will say, oh,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that's a bad pass shoes. I love those shoes. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they'll say thank you, and they're granted from any ear.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Someone will compliment them and they'll say, oh, well, uh well,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: they start apologizing, Now, how could the shoes have more
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: going on than you? How did you? How could the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: shoes have more going on than you? How could you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: say thank you about the shoes? And then somebody creeks, thanks,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: uh says something compliments you about your greatness, and you're
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: gonna start apologizing. I don't understand that. I don't understand that,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And so that tells me that we have to be
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: stopped shrinking back and being full of since acceptance of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: who God created each of us to be. And for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that matter, we gotta fire our own inner critics. You know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: we've got to go inside and challenge anything that in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: us that we've stamped ourselves with that isn't an agreement
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: with that, because you can't move forward. That's a thumbling block.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And so you gotta you gotta have, you gotta see
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: yourself the where you'll create an issue you can't afford
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to look at it. No, no, differently, I don't believe
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: that the inter empowered each of us, designed each of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: us for us to become dis empowered by our own
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: teracteristic thoughts by our own shyness and fear and worry
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: about what others would think. We need to stop that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a bad audition process at best. I'm I'm,
• 15:48

• 17:12
  Speaker 1: important people understand this book, this book about inner and outer. Okay,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it's important that you understand that because, like I said,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I had the outer down path. You know, I walk
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in the room, people know who I was. I remember
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I went to I went to an agency in l
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a big big agency in l A. And they they
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: were representing it. And the guy said, okay, he said,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: we have a problem with you richean. I said, what
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: do you mean. He said, Lisa's just in this wrong.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He brought in up a literary agent, he brought in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a personal appearance agent, he brought in the film agent,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: he brought in the TV agent. And he said, uh,

  Speaker 1: he said, all these people are you. I said, all
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: those people are you? He said, no, We've never seen

• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a lawyer in here too, you know, because you do,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: do you? And so, so I didn't realize what I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: was doing, and then to appreciate a respect what I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: was doing. But the whole industry knew what I was doing.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: They understood that was a unique brain I And and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: so when when I read a book like this that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: tells me, Okay, if you don't have your inside motivations straight,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you could be successful, but you may not blossom to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the level that you can't be because you're not accepting
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: who you are. That's right, that's right, That's exactly right.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I had to have you on my show, Mickey,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: because I needed a mickeyism. I did the mickeyism in
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: my life to get Rashawn right. And then everybody read

  Speaker 1: You know, who am I talking about? Or who are
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: who am I talking to? Another world? I should say,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know you can get
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in the box and be surrounded by fear about if
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I say this, how would people react. I'm gonna tell
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you something. You won't know how they react just until
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you say it or you do it. But do it
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: consistently and they were respected. And that's what I try
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to tell people all time. Be respectful and be reconsistent,
• 19:53
