  Speaker 1: learned from you and people like you. Well, let's give
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: some credit on my side to what you've done for
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: me personally. I was not interested in doing a radio show.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I ran into in Houston, Texas. I ran into uh
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: ivan and uh a restaurant, walked up to every show,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: how are you doing? Do my show? And he has
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a show on at the time, and I said, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: don't know. He said, come on, man, do my show.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: People need to hear you. People need to hear what
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you have to say. So I did this show in Houston, Texas,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and uh, it was great, fantastic show. Great. Uh people
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: are lightening up the phone called phone lines and everything.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And I got off. When I walked off air, the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: owners of the station was waiting on me. I sat
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: in their office for two hours, remember that, and I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: remember them ambushing you, is what I remember. When you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: got off and and they sat down and asked me
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and I said, well, I said, I do it. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but but I only do it for four weeks. I'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: do the show for four weeks. That was in May
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of last year, seventeen four weeks. So now we're at
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the about the uh sixteen month mark, and we're still
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: doing money making conversation and I'm on the phone with
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a young man who made it all happen as far
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: as getting me in. And that's why I always tell
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: people you never know when your next opportunity will come.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: To keep an open mind, and that that's basically what
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: your career is all about. Keeping an open mind. Correct, yes, sir,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: but one of the biggest things that has uh, I've
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: learned from just many mentors you, Jleen Ricky, people like
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Greg Carter and people like that, is don't get the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: big head work you're brought off people. There's no such
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: thing as being an overnight success. Now, you can screw
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it up overnight, even within two or three minutes of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: running your mouth. But if you really want durable, lasting success,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's all about living your brand and being committed and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: humble and every opportunity that you get, take it serious
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and make the most of it. Let's talk about because
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I wanted there several RILs, because we got you for
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: two breaks, and I want to talk about the tedex
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: moment now I ted X speaker opportunities have you had
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: so far? Uh? So far? There are too that are
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: published out there, and they're would be about three more
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: within the next twelve months. With well, I just felt
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it like this man. You know, it's it's rare Rashanska
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that they even get brothers. Uh, not that it hasn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: been any of us, but we are a very select
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: group and those of us who have been um esteemed
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: or fortunate enough to have that platform because as you guys,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: know if they debt the hell out you to be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on do a ted X and then even when you're
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in competition, you're in competition amongst all these brilliant minds.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So just have the the opportunity to do something like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that is truly, truly a wonderful experience. Now you have one.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: You have one of your videos that you did know
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: ted X over a million views. I remember you were
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: tracking and Rashan check this out. I'm a thousand and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have me tell us about that experience for taping it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Where was taped some of the content and it don't
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: want to give away because we want people, we want
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to drive them to go watch it and keep adding
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to the views. But tell us about wherever the tape,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: how the opportunity came about you and what changes has
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it caused in your life to get a video that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: has been few by over a million people? Oh wow,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it's highly significant. You know. It's one thing when we
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: put out content ourselves and try to optimize it and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and and sell it. But tedd X doesn't permit you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: doing any type of stimulation that's financial for a teex
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: h video. But the way it took place, long Star
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was having a the TTEX event here and and the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Houston area, and several or few hundred people applied. I was,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I was suggested, and the next thing I know, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they vetted and vetted and vetted, and I somehow it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was very um fortunate to make it to the top
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: ten people that they selected out of the hundreds of people.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: From that point, the uh, you know, I just did
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: my thing talking about the laws of attraction and emotional intelligence.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Soon thereafter they notified me and they said, hey man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: this thing's a eleven thousand, which I was like, what
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: eleven thousand? If someone had told me it would be
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a million views within eighteen months, I would have never
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: believed it. But I can tell you that what I'm
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: very grateful for is that it's opened up opportunities such
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: as this platform to be on programs like this program
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I'm on with you right now, uh, to get the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: exposure and to represent that many of us, meaning men
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of color, we do more than And I'm not knocking
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: brothers that catching dribble balls, because that's the gift within itself,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: but there are people like you and me out here
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that use other gifts and other skills sets to um
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to maximize our potential, and there's a lot of potential.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But the thing about it is that, you know, I've
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: had some videos that go viral. You know, viral is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: anything that it sees like a hundred and fifty thousand
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: views and social media and it really does change your
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: life it Uh, it brings credibility to it. Uh when
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you tell people when you want to get booked on shows,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you can send them that link and they go really
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a million people And so I guess I want to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: say that with that happened to you? What what? What?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: What is? What has been the most um you know
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is that when you say that's your first big break
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in the media industry, that video going viral, not saying
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that you haven't been accomplished in other areas. But that's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: pretty significant. Yes it is. And I have no problem
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: being um, transparent or authentic about my journey Roshan. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: have worked so hard to have a voice and to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be at least recognized is not a scene, but just
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: recognized from how hard I work it wanting to be
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the best at what I do. So to have something
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: like that happened change it did change the level for
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: me in terms of the playing field, and now that
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'm there, what I'm really reminded of is stuff that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I've learned from watching you is you know, don't get
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the big head because now that you're here, what you're
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: gonna do while you're here? So being really being truthful.

• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Being honest with you, my own lot of a lot
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of lots of me, you better be honest with me. Well,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: here's the truth. The truth is that there's a guy
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: um at a major network UH named David Parozzi who
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: has been very much a huge supporter and then I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: have people like you and jay Len and Ricky in
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: my corner, so conversations are happening. Uh. We're talking to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: uh some people a dr Fields production unit and exploring
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: possibilities there. We're also exploring some possibilities. I have a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: wonderful public thist what's up, Heather? Who is uh? Talking
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a book deal for me with some people in Chicago.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So we're just I'm open. The one thing that I've
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: learned from you, though, is I want some ownership and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: whatever I do, I also want to have some degree
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of creative control, if not control, significant influence to protect
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: integra the other content that's created because I'm not um,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting ready to be bamboozle and I'm not
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: going to put out something and that doesn't reflect the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: quality or the messaging that I put in my brand.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: My brand is about hope and faith and and having
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: difficult conversations about unpleasant subjects with one outcome in mind,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and that's that not to be right, but just to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: make sure that we really understand each other and to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: do something positive with that understanding other than uh be
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: made a fool of or be help like that. You
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: know what? Absolutely now when you when you get these calls,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you have different calls. You get to be next for
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: an MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, then you get those calls
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to be or TV ones hit programs like Fatal Attraction.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: So so what's what's the tone shift when you're doing
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a MSNBC versus doing Snapped or Fatal Attraction. Tell us
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: about that. Well, it's real simple. Know your place. You know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: when people call me as an expert, I'm to be that.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be more than I am. So
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: whether it's Greg Carter that let me do a cameo
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and my BF health and I understood my place. Look, dude,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you you're getting a little moment to do something you've
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: never done, So do it. Whether it's doing fail Attraction
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: or Snapped or CNN. I want to bring the best.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I want to bring my a game. I make sure
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that I am well positioned and and I know my material.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So when I get my two minutes or my thirty
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: seconds or are fifteen minutes, I'm going to make sure
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that I delivered two and get that phone called back
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to come back again. Now, you which is really important.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: That's why I always I always tell people you have
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: different layers of success, and your brand can be monetize
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in different levels. And that's what you're doing right now.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You're monetizing your brand to just let people know that
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you can. You can do these different lays and and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and and and shine and like I said, knowing your place.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Now we're talking about multiple strings income. I'm a big
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: proponent of multiple strings income. And then you say something,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you have something called the Taco Bell strategy. Now I've
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: never heard that taco bell strategy. So this is money
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: making conversations. When I read that your your your questions
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: for the show, I wanted you to explain exactly what
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: is the taco bell strategy. It's real simple. Taco Bell
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: takes ground beef, lettuce, cheese, and the tortilla and sometimes
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they make a burrito, they make a taco, they make
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a tostada, uh you know, chlofa. They make all this
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: stuff using the same basic ingredients or in my practice,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I am one of probably sixty or seventy master credential
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: NBTR practitioners in the world, and black men, I'm probably
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: one of six or seven and again in the world,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: so I use that instrument. I'm an expert on personality type.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I'm also an expert on new linguistics. I'm also an
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: expert on relationships. So when I do my thing, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: make sure that I bring together elements that other people
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have already said. You know what, this has a proven concept,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: This has proven science. So it's not just my opinion,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: because people, you need something as a base and as
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a platform to build from the other thing. Something I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: learned from you. I remember you shared the story with
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: me once you said, Doc, I wasn't going through a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: season of my life and they were making some decisions
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and and you said, well, I tell you what, I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: don't really mind the money pay me, but let me
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: keep my title. I need my title. So I've learned
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the value of a good name number one, and the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: value of using key ingredients that are associated with my
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: name that I can bring value to that brand or
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to that instrument, and that instrument can add value. And uh,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you know, be somewhat of an implied endorsement from my abilities.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And and again like it goes back to this work
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: hard and know your stuff. You know that this clip,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that little that story he talked about was that Uh.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I just wrapped uh a season on Steve Harvey's first
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: sitcom on ABC called Me and the Boys, and Robert
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Townson hired me to do his sitcom on the WB
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: called Parenthood, and I was on the Steve harves Shaw
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: was an executive story editor. And then what they did
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: was when I got hired on Robert Townson show, they
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: moving back to the staff writer. So I actually took
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a step back. So I said, hey, hey, hey, hey,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I need my title. I said, you don't have to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: pay me money, just get me titled. I just wanted
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: people to assume that I was still moving forward without
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the check associated with it, because a lot of people
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: don't understand that it's about branding. Way back then, I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: understood brands, understood about marketing, understood about perception, and people
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: perceived that you're moving forward. Then guess what you get
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: paid like you're going to be moving forward. So I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: always end up. I told her they had never had
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: anybody talked to him like that. I said, no, no, no,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you keep us out. Just getting my title back. They went, oh,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this legal. When they came back, okay, we'll do it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You're sure now, I said, I don't want any money.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I just want that title and that's what you're saying
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: right now, and that's what you're trying to communicate when
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you talk about doing business, and that's why you have
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the title of the reality check. Correct Yes, sir h.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Taking that even further, I've had you and Maya, Ricky
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: jay Len, and Mayanna. If you guys don't know who
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Jayleen McK and Ricky Anderson is, you might want to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: find out. But the thing that the three of you
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: taught me is know when to exit stage left, meaning
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is something's not conducive to where you're taking your brand.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: You know, all money ain't good money, and all opportunities
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: aren't good opportunities. The other thing that I learned UH
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: on the hard way is to let your let other
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: people brag about you, let other people talk about you.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying don't promote yourself. There's a difference
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: between promoting yourself and then positioning yourself to look like
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a full of what the bull left in the barnyard.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't do that anymore. I've made sure of
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that I leave a trail, and that trail is built
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: on things that add value to not only my brand,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: but to whatever opportunity I'm presented with it's amazing. Let
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: me just clarify jay Lee Mac She's an attorney out
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: of Houston, Texas. She does all my trademarks that are
• 19:22

• 19:26
  Speaker 1: only person who's ever done trademarks for me and Steve
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Harvey in that run. Also Ricky Anderson, he does deal
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: for Tyler Perry Monique exclusively Monique when she wanted to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Oscar mentioned Ricky Turney attorney Ricky Anderson excuse me owned
