• 3:51
  Speaker 1: because you know we're gonna talk about laugh Mark, which
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: is a really it's it's you know, I've watched several episodes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of it because it's like a catch
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: comedy show tied into a stand up comedy show, which
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: is really fascinating from a creative standpoint, because you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm watching that show and because of the way they
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: produced it and the stand up coming I've already done
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: with it. That's excited about because I do want to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: talk about our journey together and the comics and comedians lives.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You change and the facts changed the way we we
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: look at comedy today, from Steve Harvey to Eccentric Entertainment.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Who's on CBS right now, Dio Hugualle has a syndicated,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a nationally syndicated show. And of course Bernie Mack, who
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: would always be legendary and what he did. Unfortunately health
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: reasons took him away. But there are other comics out
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: there who walked on that stage, who was established, who
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: still came on that stage and you know, built their
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: brand out of we're talking like the you know the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Chris Tucker did five minutes and then became an international
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: star five minutes on Death Comedy. You know you know
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: ed Grifford, he did Michael Jackson because it's superstar. Wow, man,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: let me could I I think could Before we go
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: into all of that, you said something already that you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: pretty much hit the nail on the head man Um
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in terms of why why this show um was created,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: laugh minds, laugh tracks was really based on America. Really
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: didn't know how death Comedy jam was built. You do?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You do? You know everybody always see the faces, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the big names. Definitely, everybody thinks that Diana Ross discovered
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the Jackson five, when really it was Bobby Tella from
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Vancouver's. You know, people don't know that that part.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: But um, what happened with me was I watched the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: landscape of where comedy had gone out of the nineties,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know, out of the nineties. Man, everybody was getting
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the sitcom people was meeting, people said, didn't know Steve,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but they came to Death Comedy Jam and TV show.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan didn't know Martin, but he did what he
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: did and then he got on The Martin Show. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: many things like that, including you know, I brought Dolomite
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to Deaf Comedy Jam. I bought while man Steve the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Deaf Commy Jam to mix the new with the old.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And what happened is when Deaf Commy Jam went off
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the air, and then the HBO brought the Chris Rocks
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Show into light and things of that nature. People don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: understand that. And you know for a fact, I was
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: going all over the country finding these comedians in little
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: hole in the walls and this, that and the other,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and it just became magical after a while. But then
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: all of that stopped and I kept the show going
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: on the road where Kevin Hart won a contest for me,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Cocob Brown won a contest for me, s Ray Davis.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So the talent was still there, but we didn't really
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: have a vehicle for them. So with that being said,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know the two thousand and two thousand and ten,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: some of these people started coming on, but I knew
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that there was the next generation. Just like after Michael
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Jordan's you had Kobe Bryant doing Lebron James, the same
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: thing goes with comedy. So I decided to go to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: l a Inside to build the brand. Okay, my own brand,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and and and laugh Mob is nothing more than the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: afternem for MOB is more of Bob's best. So what
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I would do is I would go into these these
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: big offices and talk to these people. But nobody really
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: knew that it was Bob something that did this. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring them a sketch show as possible,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: so more fresh stand up. Nobody's hearing me. So you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: know what happened. I said, I'll just do it myself
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and do it in a certain way where I can
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: take all these stand up comedians who don't have UM
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: great tapes. You know, after the show, they're trying to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: pedal their tapes, but you get the tape and it's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: like um video from shows, comic view or whatever that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they've been or nobody wants that. They want something fresh.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So also you could take a fresh tape. If I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: identify who deserves a half hour or hour special, I'll
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: shoot it myself and then try to sell it to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a Showtime or HBO, which is actually worked. But I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: took all of the sixteen hours of material that I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: had the audio, and I treated it just like a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving turkey. Okay, you take that material and just like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you take a turkey and you and you have the turkey,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: then you turn it into uh um, a turkey sandwich,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a turkey cattle, roll um, you turn it into turkey hash.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You turn it into turkey. So you know, you just
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: do that, and that's what I did with the stand up.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And we took the audio that had stories, the comedians
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that had stories to tell, and some guys out of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: my office decided that they're going to try to take
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this and turn them into comedy videos and we put
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: them on YouTube. We started getting sixties seventy million views.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Before you know it. Here some of the networks trying to,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you know, how can we be a part of this,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and here we are. You know, first of all, let's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: let's really if you watch the shows. If you watch
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the show, I'm taking the stand up comic is on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: stage okay during his routine, and then they will seamlessly
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: transition into a video that they're referencing their stand up comics,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and you're seeing. This is the cool thing about it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The actor or actors that they've chosen are lip sinking
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the dialogue from the comedian. I mean, dead on that on.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That's what I really loved about it because I was like, wow,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I mean so, whether it's a child actor or adult actor,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they are matching it. You know, male female, it doesn't matter.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And that to me, what is a female comedian or
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: male comedian. That's what I really really loved about the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: show is like, wow, this is really slick. You know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I got the reenactment of the comedy routine, but to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: be able to have the comic on stage and then
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to take give you the visual of their joke. That's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: what you're doing, the visual of their joke while they're
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: doing the routine. It's pretty impressive. Ball that's pretty pretty.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: That's pretty pretty creative. Bro when you look at it
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: when it goes back in conn you know, there's there's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: only a few comedians who I haven't had an imprint
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: on that are doing big things right now. And one
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of them, like when we talk about you know, your
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: your career and have I had said to you you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: needed to like try to find too you know what
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you're doing, so you could come over to, you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the urban side of things. The bame thing happened with
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a young lady by the name of one to side. Okay,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy to see one that in her career,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but she fell in right when death Jim was moving
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: out and and and the trip is Wanda used to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: be my go to, like you as my Houston go
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to right right right, Wanda would be the one who
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: would set up my showcases in the DC. Wh She
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: never once said, Bob, I'm doing this for you put
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: me on the show about that. She was just going
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: about it her way because she knew how to be entrepreneurial.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Then she looking she was doing this stuff and now
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: look at her the big time to produce it. And
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of her, you know. But it's just
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's ways to do it. Because I still have some
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: comedians from back in the day, they're still upset me
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: because they didn't get there. But it's okay because they did.

  Speaker 1: industry and then talk to people who are making an
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: impact even today, decades later. And you're one of the people,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: one of the stars of establishing a brand of comedy,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: comedy talent in the industry as so many different levels.

  Speaker 1: A to build my brand, sir, but I went to
• 12:50

  Speaker 1: an opportunity there who wasn't giving the opportunity? As time by,
• 12:59

• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of comedy, I would call stand the king or the Emperor,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, because and he's so humble and you
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: know in his approach, but in the end He's definitely
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite people on the surface. You know,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Standing and I you know, did Death Comedy Jam together.
• 19:51

  Speaker 1: constantly staying current, he constantly stays revel and I apologize
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I forgot Death Comedy Jam, which changed the face of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: stand up comedy today. That's standing later, that's that's just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: part of that's why she says he's the king of
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: comedy from a producing checking the producer, from a director standpoint.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You know, he, like I said, I I consider him
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a friend, I consider a person mentor because I've been
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in the position to stand back and watch what he does.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: But the key words that you said very humble. Oh
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: my god, he's so humble. It's it's it's almost ridiculous.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that he goes back to sest
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: me street of Mom's mably like, that's such a breast
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of work. That stands you know between him. It's just

• 21:10
  Speaker 1: fortunate to be a producer on the show along with you,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and then several times on Rip the Runway, UH, which
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I thought was a cool concept of of of being
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: able making making a fashion our version of Victoria's Secrets
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Runway and um, and those those moments of meeting you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: What I always encountered was professionalism. You knew your job
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and you stayed on top of the game. Of course
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I talked about Monique Talk Show, just other projects that
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: wouldn't personally involved. I would walking in and see you.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: They're always smiling, always on top of your game. What
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: motivates you to be successful? Just you know, my motivation
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is really just to be great and and everything that
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I do and make sure that I'm impeccable with my words.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: A lot of times that keeps me was kind of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: with my head down, just moving quickly through things. Um.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I know, as a leader of the ship, it's always
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: important I know that every eye is always on me,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: so it's always important to become cool and collective, like
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: no one ever hears me speak above this voice, no
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: matter what's going on. And I know that there's a
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: responsibility in that, and I just you know, I own that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And you know, it's really important for me that everything
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that we put onto that screen is really reflective of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: what our intentions were. Now, just really interesting when I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: talk because this is her tone when she's uh if
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: she if she is upset, she never I say, brings
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it out. She she would have the conversations, let you
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: know if you're doing your job right or wrong. But
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the thing about is that consistency. But let's talk about
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: before we get into the how you started in music
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and transition of the name of your company, Magic Lemonade.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Give us that back story. So Magic Lemonade one, I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just want to ask about that, the Magic Lemonade, where
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: does that come from? Well, Magic Lemonade came from a place,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you know, at the point where I wanted to you know,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I'd worked for with so many other people and I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: realized it was time for me to hang out my
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: own shingle. And I say, you know what, happens no
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: matter no matter what happens with any projects that are
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: brought to me or that I create, I always have
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: to add a little magic to it to make it
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the sweetest lemonade possible. And the biggest thing is you
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: can't say it without smiling though. It's just it's a
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: reminder that we can't take this so serious. You know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: we really need to just enjoy ourselves. To me, the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: journey is just as just as important as the final product.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So I like to make sure that you know I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: created a place where everyone that comes there feels heard,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: everyone that works with me feels like we're working together
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and not for me, and that they understand that this
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: is all just a magical experience and let's just get
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: on the ride have a good time. We know, the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: first of all, you're right because when you said magic lemonade,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I immediately went to my Chick fil A lemonade. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: love their limit. You know, I went right there, you
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: know my favorite lemonades. You know, I'm already smiling thinking
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: about where I'm gonna stop when I finished this brought
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: podcast to Radio Short today. You know, when I when
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I think about the way we develop our relationships. It's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: always a journey, like I finishes to be a producer,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the writers, sitcom and all the things I've done in
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: my life and a manager. I started out as a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: stand up comedian, and I thought I was going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: be the next Richard Pryor. At the time when I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: started Edin, Murphy was everywhere, so I was competing with
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: his world. And then deaf Jam came along and that
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: gave me a comedic opportunity. But you didn't start out
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: being the queen of comedy from a producing standpoint, talk
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: about the start of your career in music, not at all,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you know. I started off in music. UM. I worked
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: with UM. We had a soundtrack that was I don't know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: George Jackson, Doug mckenry, I did, I did you know?
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And at this point sound tracks were really big and
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I had UM and so they had needed a soundtrack
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and I brought in I brought in Warrangey and his
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: crew for the Jason's lyric soundtrack. So UM coming from there,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Warren's manager said, Hey, I got these kids, They've never
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: been on the road. Can you help me with them?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So I started managing with Ronchy with Warrengy and started
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: taking all the guys on the road and that was
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the start of my music career. I ended up working
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a Priority Records for some years, and then when we
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: did the final bio for E. M I, I said
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I'm out. I would rather go to film, and TV
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: moved over. I started working with Carl Craig and Ralph
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Farquhar and so we started producing shows from there. So
• 25:45

  Speaker 1: and we picked right back up where where we you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: where we were thirty years ago. But what we do
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is really just try to be there for one another
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: because those those that our friendships and bonds are truly
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: truly priceless. It's really great when I hear you talk
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: like this, my executive producer of money making conversation. She's
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: a graduate of Hampton. So as soon as you say
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to Hampton, you know she started dancing in the boom. Okay,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: let you know that every time, and I'm tearing it's
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: your Hampton has got it going on because and if
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you're a lot of successful Keptonians, Keptonians, you know she
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: corrected me. Hamptonians got it going on. So let's let's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: move on from your pro graduate of HBCU boom, a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: proud member of Africa AFA saty and cooperated from Hampton
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: University thirty years in fact. So let's talk about your
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: role as Vice President of Multicultural Leadership for African American
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Black Strategy and Outreach at a ARP. What exactly is that?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So I am immensely blessed to U lead our African
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: American and Black strategy work at a ARP. I've have
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: been um uh colleague here at a PEEP about four
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: years now and this role is really sometimes I have
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: to pench myself for Sean. It really gives me the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity to um really share my my strengths, my talent,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: my guests that I've been given that to really share
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: information to have the African American audience. I remember my twenties,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: this guy approached me. It was a co worker, and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: he was saying, Rashan, and you needed just say fifty
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: dollars a month, right, you know. And that was a
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: struggle for me. Fifty dollars really, you know, because I couldn't.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. It was a struggle for me because I
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: can see what fifty dollars will grow to, you know what,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: what what the opportunity. And they're realizing that that it's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: all about accumulation, and it's all about dollar cost averaging
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: is all about participating. So if you're saving a thousand
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: dollars a year, just say, if you say a thousand
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: dollars for thirty years, that's thirty thou dollars. Okay, there's
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: thirty dollars. That's a lot of money, okay when you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: when you look at it. And so the process that
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: you're talking about is the same thing. And so just
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: start and then you can go online and you can
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: see how the growth of your investment can happen if
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: you do it a certain way correct, right, and and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it. Um And I again, I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: also want to to think Kelly and the team and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: enjoy collective. It was just rewarding working on the campaign
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: UM with UM just amazingly talented black women UM from Joy,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: from the director, the production company. It was truly a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: campaign created black by black women for black women that
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: really felt passionate about this because what we know is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: that African American black women, we typically have to work
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: seven to eight months to earn what our white male
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: counterpart to make in one year. And so we know
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that equity paid gap. So in addition to the information
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: not getting to the communities UM at the same rate
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: or it was the same access that other communities can get,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: we also know that there's a take gap that exists.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And so if we don't start sharing this information now
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and empowering black women, then will continue to have that gap.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And so that's really the design of the campaign. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: when you go online again, it's a free uh three
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: minutes digital coaching sessions. I'm online, I'm reading it right now,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I'm online. Friend, it's trying to pay yourself more for retirement.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: A free three minute chat the friendly digital retirement coach
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: will give you the tips you need to help boost
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: your savings oh this is this is looking good already,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I'll she wrote, right, and we will. And we again
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that black women that we see
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: ourselves in our ads, and we do that across a RP.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, we have a full multicultural team, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: in in our ads and our creative materials, we want
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to make sure that it's resonating and that it's culturally relevant,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that it speaks to our audiences. And that's what this
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: campaign tribute to, she rose does. It really honors black women.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And you'll see in the different uh, the different creative ads,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: whether it's the mom cooking and taking care of her family,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: whether she's the wife, or whether it's um, you know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a woman who's coming from work and has a side
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: hustle and and and you know the yoga and the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: community center that eventually, you know, is able to save
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: and get her own uh you know yoga studio, and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that's sort of you know, her her turning her passion,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know, into her purpose. UM. I love the campaign.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Just hearing you talk about the campaign because they're talking
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: about entrepreneurship. It's talking about it's talking about the fourty
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: hour week mom. You know what I'm saying the responsibility
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of delivery and being responsible. But the thing about it
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: when I went to the website, you know, it's called
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: ww dot a sure timent dot org for slass Hero.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I saw three different women there and one
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of the women were younger, was a young young And
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I bring that up because it's you know, I got
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: a twenty to your daughter. I constantly talked to her
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and just just give her information because that information when
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you're telling younger person, young person something, they might not
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: get it, but hopefully a year or the five years
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: in that process of but trying to figure it out,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they will get it. And so I saw that photo
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: as what you're trying to say. You're saying, look what's sean.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: We were creating a campaign so we can capture generational
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: people so they can move forward and they all win,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and not just a person who's near retirement, a person
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: who's past retirement. We're trying to educate people by by
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: creating this this this, Like I said earlier, in the twenties,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I was approached and now it wasn't until I was
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: thirty two that I actually started saving money and I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: went to Meryll Lynch and I just started, you know,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: investing a little bit in stock and that's paid off
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: for me because I did start at such an early age.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And so it's really important that people understand that what
• 36:59

  Speaker 1: first of all, you know all my guests are I
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: consider you a neglected guest because of the fact that
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: your worldly. You know, you know, you know I can't
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: pigeonhold you. You know you you're singer you travel around
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: the world. You performed for dignitaries like the Obama's you know,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: ministers like Bishop T. D. Jake's and so you know,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: you know, interviewed and performed in front of OPRAH. This
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: is a high level of of entertainment and performance level.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: What drives you? That would be my first question just
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: start off interviews. What drives you at this point in
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: your life. It's two level, it's too let me let me,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: let me step back because I've never asked that question before.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: What drove you too in the beginning? And what drives
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: you now? Okay? UM, what you old me in the
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: beginning is I had a passion um, a passion for singing,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: and um a passion to entertain. So at a young
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: age I started singing. I grew up in the Bronx
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: and UM, I went to high school performing arts. Now, ironically,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you know I could sing, I could always sing. But
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: when I was coming up, I wanted to like wrap.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be a rapper. That was my thing.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: The first of all, I have to Can you wrap? Though?
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe rap? Maybe because you could wrap put you back
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: to singing. No, I could definitely wrap. Definitely. I thought
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I was gonna be like the next empty light, you know,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: the next clean light to you for a way to me,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I might be aging myself. But you know, because I
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: was young when I was listening to them, and I
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: felt like, you know, that's that's what I wanted to do.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: So through high school I was rapping, and when I
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: got to the mcguality has to the performing once, I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: was still rapping. But then I was surrounded by a
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of people who were just really talented. They could sing,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: they could dance, they can act. And it's there that
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: I caught the Broadway bugs because Broadway wasn't even in
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: my mind at all. It's not something that I grew
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: up with or anything but class audition crap at the body.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: It was an left arm spoken night. And once I
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: took that class, they showed up how to get child
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and we had to like one of our assignments was
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: to go on the audition. We they say, show us
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: how to use this magazine. It was backstage magazine. It
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: was like the Hall copy at the time, and they
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: were like, you know, find an audition going on it.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: And I did it, and I actually booked what I
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: went on, and after that it was like, oh, goad,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I just loved theater. So that's how I started, and
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: then I just I stayed um passionate and I just
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: pursued it. I mean, well there's a story in between
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: that health science. I said, the backlists and health science
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: because it was like that was my backup plan just
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: in case things didn't work out. And thank god, I
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: never needed my backup plan because after I graduated, I
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: worked at Corporate America for like six months and then
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I ended up and singing full time. You know, it's
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: really interesting because you know, my backup plan was I
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: got a degree in mathematics, work for IBM, and you know,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: you know, so I don't even think it's a backup player.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I think that that's you know, people in life till
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: they kind of like push you in the direction where
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: they understand. You know, so you don't understand singers, then't
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: understand actors, they understand comedians, they understand Hey, you know,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: go eight to five for the hours a week, you
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: go to college, you get a job, and that's what
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you did. That's what I like, But that wasn't your passion,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: that wasn't what you excited you that you know, you
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: go to work, and you see people really kind of
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: like going through the motions and most of them complaining
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: about where they're at and not really excited about the
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: next step. And I always felt that if I could
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: see what's going to happen tomorrow in my life, then
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: that's not the job I wanted to do, right, And
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: so when I would go to work and there's nothing
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: negative where I work, great people, but I knew what
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I was going to do tomorrow, I knew what I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: was gonna do next week, that was not the future
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: for me. I needed that I needed to work in
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: an environment or career where I didn't know I did.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I knew there was a great opportunity tot, but I
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: didn't know me. I had to work hard. And I
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: think that's the same drive that's inside you as well. Yeah,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: it's it's funny because one thing I'm happy about. I
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: feel like my college experience definitely prepared me for the
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: industry because I would tell you, as an actress, you're
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: always in school. Guess you know why you used to
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: be so disciplined because you're always learning lines, you're always
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: doing the research. It's like college never ended, right. But
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I'm happy that I had to have that discipline because
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: it's not it's not easy. My family and friends are
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: always like, I didn't even memorize this stuff, like how
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: are you doing this research? And like and I'm also
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: a writer. I wrote it. Um Um. I wrote a
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: musical entitled Cheetah that ran off Broadway. We traveled about
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the world. We just got back from London ago. We
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: were there for five weeks. We did thirty nine shows.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: But um, even with my process in writing that musical,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: people are always like, how did you do with the
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: research and the And I'm like, oh, yeah, well, you know,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you went to college, you can
• 48:14

• 49:41
  Speaker 1: from the North Country. You. I got a chance to
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: spend forty minutes about ling and it was amazing. He
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: was so he was so um appreciative of the work
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: that we've done on stage, Um, of the work that
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: I did a my character and the song that I say.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: He complimented the song and I was like, he's like,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I think the song for True Up. He's like,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: you know, true is that song is really good. And

  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, you know, that's that's all I'm saying.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: He's like, yes, I know, I know. But he's just
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: so wonderful. And it's sometimes you hear about these legends
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: and you think they're like, oh, they're not gonna be
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: sunnily and they're gonna be strange. He was just just
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: just great, amazing down the earth, and I felt like
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I could talk to him all day. Well, it's really
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: interesting because he's you know, well you first of all,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: you you're talking to history. That's that's that's the amazing
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: part of the conversation. I know when I met Elton John,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: and then just just being in the presence of Muhammad
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: ali Uh. You know, you want to you want to
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: be able to ask so many questions because they've been
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: through so many different steps and the courageous steps in
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: their lives, you know, because you know every journey. I
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: always say, every decade holds a different journey for each individual,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and so they've lived so many decades and so when
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: you meet the person like Bob Dylan, you know, you know,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: wow talk about the sixties, okay, you know, and and
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: and and to go through that. Did you ask him
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: any question or just just experienced the moment with him
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and accepted the compliment. How was it? It was so interesting? Um.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: It was at his concert and me and Um one
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: of the other stars of Girlfriends in the North Country
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: man winning him who is amazing in the show. It
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: was the two of us that were with him in
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: his dressing room. And I have to tell you first
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: it was it was for real, and I was trying
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: to take in every moment. And it's funny because I
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: felt like everything that came out on my mom is
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: just like insignificant because I was just so like I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: was trying to take in every moment. What's the room
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: was like what he was saying, you know, and I did.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I asked a couple of questions about Um, about the
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: songs that he wrote, like, um, there's a song that
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I've send called um Um it's the um Gypsy. I
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: see they did see. Okay, I can't think of the
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: song right now, but well February seven, the previous starts,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: so you will be on pin by that not just
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: tell us basically Girl from the North Country. What exactly
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: is that Girl from the North Country. Well, that's one
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: of the songs that he wrote the musical entitled Girl
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: from the North Country. So this this music, guest, the
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: music is based on Bob Dylan. Um, the music is
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: from Bob Dylan, but the story is not Bob Dylan's story.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: It takes place in his hometown. But it was written
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: by one of the best play rights um e Conomic
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: fear Sense. And what he did was he wrote a
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: play and the music compliments the play. The music is
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: like a soundtrack to the play. So it's almost like
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: watching the movie. So the music is not driving, it's
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: not it's not moving before the stories forwards, but it's
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: given you the emotions of the character. Wow. You know,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: it's different in that sense. Like most Juice Box musicals
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: the songs, right, they trying to make the songs part
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: of the story and have the songs tell the story.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: But that's not the case here. It's like watching the
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: movie and then you hear the songs that come on
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: that compliment the scenes and the emotions of the character. Amazing.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to Jeanette by adell correct by your all right, Yes,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I'm still rolling with I'm still rocking with that name.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: So she is. She's co starring and highly anticipated Broadway
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: musical Girl from the North Country, which is inspired by
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: and features the music of Bob Dylan. The play begins
