• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about what you're doing now, man with the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurship and entertainment is exactly what I'm doing. And I thought,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we have such a natural marriage, and I don't want
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: this to be the only time we talk because of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that you were on the same lanes. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know, my show is heard on Serious X at
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: one for the one which is on Howard University campus,

  Speaker 1: the two Serious Exam which is on all the HBCU campuses.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And so you are professor at Texas Southern University. So
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: when you do these classes talking to these young minds,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: these bellennial minds, what is your approach to getting giving
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: them the right tools for success? Before we get into
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: your book, well, you know, I I teach that a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: critical power. I keep from by thirty eight o'clock is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the toughest time you can teach young people, but you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we have fun with it. And the first thing I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: teach this critical thinking first, so critical thinking and say
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and so so when you when you because you have
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the point in your life where you have all this
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: knowledge and that's what I've learned about myself. You know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I have all this knowledge and I'm sharing it now
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: with my format money making conversation. And you, Sataly, you're
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: sharing it an institutional, uh like Texas and University, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: also knows institute what exactly is knows institute well, most
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: institute is e learning online continuing education. Uh. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: people want to learn something and they want to they
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: want to go online and learn it, and they want
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to get it then and there. Uh. And we offer
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: programs and I would be calling on all of the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: ABC dudes. I'm actually getting on the plane today on
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: my way to Clark University. Uh. We will offer these
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: e learning courses and also a way for HBC used
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to have as a fundraiser as well. People need to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: understand what you're trying to do in the entertainment and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: entrepreneur world and you're affecting the because you're a professor
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at Texas Southern University. You're in the School of Communication
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and School of Business, two key areas for that millennial movement.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: At the eighteen to thirt or four you're affecting minds.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And then you have the Noose Institute, you're affecting minds.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Let's focus on that if you don't mind and talk
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: about why did you start the Those Institute. Well, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's education and academia has always been a passion of mine.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So the Those Institute is specifically for entrepreneurship, uh, entertainment
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and music business and over a thousand courses uh. And
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you can just simply go to Those Institute dot com
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and you can review all of the courses stuff. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: then for the HBC used this the Matthew Knows Institute, UH,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and that's over thousand courses as well. And again for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: e learning online education, well that's where everybody going, you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I know the Phoenix University was I think the first
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: one that jumped out there would and e learning. Then
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: also you started seeing all these athletes, especially individuals who
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of time, starting to show up
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with these these online degrees. So it's not something like
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a stigma anymore. Getting online degrees are really like like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the social media world, the digital world is part of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the process now. So so I say that to people
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: understand oh when they would they have the same married
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: WOULDY have the same credibility if I went to a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know, a brick and mortar institution, and yes, it
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: will correct. But what sign is actually, if you've taken
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the online course, you know, it's actually harder than sitting
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in the class because you've got to continue focus when
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you're taking about yourself. So it's it's a lot harder
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: actually not easier. Cool. Now, with that being said, we're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit about your book because I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: read it. I read it yesterday. I really did read
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this book. And the thing about it that I took
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: away from it was the fact that you know, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. You're born
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and you were born in mary And Alabama and spent
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of time in gats in this area of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the country where your your grandparents had three hundred acres
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that they don't have today, which I always here these stories.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I just get said that what if stories of life
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and so and and and high the shape the Matthew
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: knows of today. And the thing that came out of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the book that I really commend you for was to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: talk about therapy, because therapy is something that African American,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: especially men, don't even admit to even consider it. Well,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I wasn'mportant to admit that in your book for for
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that reason. You just said, Uh, you know, we often
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: have a stigma that he's crazy, has no control. Uh.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And when it's just the opposite. The people that that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: go to therapy are people are that are just the opposite.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: They're smart. Uh, they know that they know that asks
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: for help. Uh, that's stress, that's not weakness. Right. But
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: but then again, you know I know that, Uh, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: know that when you when you admit that, that almost
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: feels like a weakness. You know what I'm saying. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: know that you know that that's us. Black Black the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: black community or any minority comunity tend to allow, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: situations to be downplayed, you know, whether it's in this situation.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: When you were talked about it, I realized, Wow, this
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: is this is something I really need to talk about
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and bring out because that's courageous to me. That's that's
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that's commendable to me. And also its shaped the way
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you you approached your life correct, trying to get rid
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of these demons, trying to get rid of these emotional
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: demons that you didn't know what was affecting you, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you're just living your life thinking you as being normal exactly. Uh.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Started for me having these panic attacks and not knowing
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: where they were coming from and putting on an e
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: k G all weekend, and the doctor said, hey, you
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: have nothing wrong with you physically, it's all mental. Uh.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And that's why I started going to a therapist and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: beginning to sign out and understand who I was and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the things in my childhood. I had racial trauma right right,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and that trauma as you as you obvious you're outlined
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in the book kind of like a dealt with you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and made you the person you are in your emotional life,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: your relationships, and also the person you are currently. Are
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you a happier person now because of therapy? Are you?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Are you disappointed because you didn't figure this out earlier?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: What is your approach to it now? After? I'm very
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: very happy. Um, you know, I'm grateful. Uh, remarried, I've
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: been married, not five years most I don't know if
