2:31
Speaker 1: them clarity to their visions, to connect with their internal GPS,
2:35
Speaker 1: to provide a clear route to achieve their dreams. Please
2:39
Speaker 1: work on the Mind of making Conversations Masterclass Jessica Myers
2:42
Speaker 1: The deal Maker. How are you doing, Jessica, Oh, I
2:45
Speaker 1: stay living in a dream? How are you pretty good?
2:48
Speaker 1: You know, it's great to have you on the show
2:50
Speaker 1: because it's about there's so many people want to be successful,
2:54
Speaker 1: but they don't have a plan. And I think that
2:58
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that we can say that
3:00
Speaker 1: real easy a plan because that sounds simple. It sounds
3:04
Speaker 1: but that's not simple because sometimes we can say we
3:07
Speaker 1: want something, but it just may not be available for
3:11
Speaker 1: you to achieve at that time. So now you used
3:13
Speaker 1: to use the word GPS, which we all know is
3:15
Speaker 1: a popular term for trying to find out where you
3:18
Speaker 1: need to go. You put in an address, it tells
3:20
Speaker 1: you where you're supposed to go. But sometimes you know that, Jessica,
3:24
Speaker 1: you put in an address and it don't take you
3:26
Speaker 1: where you supposed to go. Yeah, sometimes, like you said,
3:30
Speaker 1: you have ways and it might take you through the
3:32
Speaker 1: back route and next thing you know, you're like, where
3:35
Speaker 1: am I? Where did it drop me off? And that's
3:37
Speaker 1: the funny part because, like you said, I'm a real
3:40
Speaker 1: estate entrepreneur and developer and a lot of people come
3:43
Speaker 1: to me like I just want to get in all
3:44
Speaker 1: the real estate. I just want to get involved. I
3:46
Speaker 1: just want to get started. And it's like if we
3:48
Speaker 1: miss the basic steps of putting in the address first,
3:51
Speaker 1: it's almost like gassing up a Rose Royce and saying,
3:54
Speaker 1: go where are you going to? Where are you wandering?
3:58
Speaker 1: How can you measure your success and where you are?
4:01
Speaker 1: So if I say, I don't know, if you remember
4:03
Speaker 1: going to Triple A where you would sit down and
4:05
Speaker 1: they literally will map out okay, like you're going to
4:09
Speaker 1: New York. The first thing they're going to do is
4:11
Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from, where you're starting from and
4:15
Speaker 1: so you know now how to guide yourself to where
4:19
Speaker 1: you're looking to go. Most times people just like to
4:22
Speaker 1: jump in and do and that can oftentimes lend you
4:25
Speaker 1: in circles. And you know, if you've ever seen people
4:28
Speaker 1: or hurt people, I'm going through a middle a crisis.
4:30
Speaker 1: I don't know where I am. I've just been spending
4:32
Speaker 1: and spending and turning wheels because you haven't set a destination.
4:36
Speaker 1: That's the power of setting a goal. That's the power
4:39
Speaker 1: of like you said, there's no ways without a destination.
4:43
Speaker 1: There's no uber pickup without there declaring where you're going.
4:47
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I want people
4:49
Speaker 1: to understand as they go to build their dreams, as
4:51
Speaker 1: they go to build generational wealth, that you have to
4:54
Speaker 1: start off at least with a goal to give you
4:56
Speaker 1: direction of where to head to so that you can
4:59
Speaker 1: start making you journey. We know it's interesting because she
5:02
Speaker 1: said triple A And she said it's because they used
5:05
Speaker 1: to give out these booklets called trip ticks. And I
5:08
Speaker 1: used to be a stand up comedian, so I used
5:10
Speaker 1: to always go in there, Jessica and I say, I'm
5:12
Speaker 1: going from Houston to Orlando. They sit down there they
5:15
Speaker 1: put together. They go and put all these different little
5:18
Speaker 1: maps and they put them all together, and they just
5:20
Speaker 1: and you just flip a page and tell you the
5:22
Speaker 1: gas station to tell you the either is called a
5:23
Speaker 1: trip tick, and it was very detailed. That same trip
5:27
Speaker 1: trip tick. Now you have and become electronic, and you
5:31
Speaker 1: have it, whether it's in Wave or whether it's in
5:33
Speaker 1: Google of Horizon. There's so many different forms of versions
5:36
Speaker 1: of these trip ticks that have not becoming electronics. But
5:40
Speaker 1: the great thing about it is that sometimes I always
5:43
Speaker 1: tell you got to trust yourself, because back in the
5:46
Speaker 1: day before we had GPS, somebody would tell me, basically, Richard,
5:51
Speaker 1: come visit me, and they give me directions and they
5:54
Speaker 1: give me some landmarks, and then I would get there
5:57
Speaker 1: because I got the address. And so I bring that
6:00
Speaker 1: up in our conversation Jessica, because so many people they're
6:04
Speaker 1: so caught up on being told what to do and
6:07
Speaker 1: not trusting understanding the landmarks of opportunities when they present themselves.
6:13
Speaker 1: Talk to me, yes, oh yeah, I definitely, I definitely
6:16
Speaker 1: agree like you says about trusting your gut and trusting
6:19
Speaker 1: your instinct. But one of the most impactful books that
6:22
Speaker 1: I've read that help with that is Thinking Grow Rich.
6:26
Speaker 1: Thinking Grow Rich is a beautiful book that's written by
6:29
Speaker 1: Napoleon Hill that follows a lot of successful individuals and
6:33
Speaker 1: understanding what is the key to success? After studying hundreds
6:37
Speaker 1: and hundreds of successful people, like what is the key?
6:41
Speaker 1: And it starts with tapping into your burning desire? And
6:44
Speaker 1: once you connect with burning desire, that's what helps. Like
6:47
Speaker 1: you said, to give you that internal GPS that whether
6:50
Speaker 1: you have the instructions or not, you have a direction
6:54
Speaker 1: or directive of where you're looking to go. Which know
6:57
Speaker 1: which direction? Because a lot of times when it boils
7:01
Speaker 1: down to it is not that people are lost. People
7:04
Speaker 1: are afraid. When you boil down to the deal blockers,
7:08
Speaker 1: they're afraid to dream. A lot of times your dream
7:11
Speaker 1: is so big it scares you and it's like, well
7:13
Speaker 1: where do I start? How do I get started? When
7:15
Speaker 1: you understanding you tap into your burning desire, When you
7:18
Speaker 1: understand that, that's that internal GPS that whether you have
7:22
Speaker 1: the directions or not, you have a fervor to accomplish
7:25
Speaker 1: and achieve your dreams and your visions. And how do
7:28
Speaker 1: I know this? Because so many people that I talk
7:31
Speaker 1: to you know that are talking about the dream and
7:33
Speaker 1: their vision. You ask them how long they've had it.
7:36
Speaker 1: It's not something that they just thought about yesterday and
7:38
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is what I want to do. No.
7:41
Speaker 1: A lot of times, this burning desire has been boiling
7:45
Speaker 1: for years and they don't know how to start. They
7:47
Speaker 1: don't know where to get it out. But they just
7:49
Speaker 1: know that the desire lies inside and that's where it's
7:52
Speaker 1: important to write it out, to understand what that burning
7:55
Speaker 1: desire is and take immediate action towards getting towards your goal.
8:00
Speaker 1: And the goal is always it's the manager. There's always
8:04
Speaker 1: tell people about you have to be selfish when you're
8:07
Speaker 1: looking for your goal. And a lot of people use
8:08
Speaker 1: the word selfish as a negative, but I think that
8:12
Speaker 1: I use the word selfishness as a word of being focused.
8:14
Speaker 1: You have to be focused on your dreams and you
8:16
Speaker 1: can't dv it. You have to put the time in
8:18
Speaker 1: if that's what you want to do. You can't have excuses.
8:21
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean when I use the word selfish.
8:23
Speaker 1: You have to really understand that it becomes the top
8:26
Speaker 1: priority of what you want to do in your life.
8:28
Speaker 1: So when people come to you deal maker. I'm gonna
8:30
Speaker 1: just put it out there. That's a that's a moniker.
8:32
Speaker 1: She's the deal maker. I'm talking to Jessica Myers. You know,
8:36
Speaker 1: she's properties all over this country, including the Bahamas. When
8:40
Speaker 1: you take on the responsibilities but bponsibility saying that you
8:44
Speaker 1: are a deal maker, now that's a that's that's a
8:49
Speaker 1: that's a whole lot to say and a whole lot
8:52
Speaker 1: of responsibility tied to it. Why are you bold enough?
8:56
Speaker 1: Why are you bold enough to say that? Because I
9:00
Speaker 1: understand that of all the deals that I've done from
9:02
Speaker 1: the fifteen thousand dollars you know shack that I bought
9:06
Speaker 1: when I first got in a real estate investing to
9:09
Speaker 1: the nineteen million dollar portfolio, I genuinely do an autopsy
9:14
Speaker 1: on my success, like what is the thing that made
9:17
Speaker 1: it work? What is the thing that made it not work?
9:19
Speaker 1: And what can I do strategically better to get to
9:22
Speaker 1: move forward? And one of the common things that I
9:25
Speaker 1: found in every single deal was my three part formula,
9:29
Speaker 1: and that was having the opportunity itself, the skill set
9:33
Speaker 1: and know how of what to do with set opportunity,
9:35
Speaker 1: and the capital to execute on the opportunity. Every single deal.
9:40
Speaker 1: I realized had these three things in common. So that's
9:44
Speaker 1: when I started to when I started to talk with
9:46
Speaker 1: people who don't have a navigation. I don't know where
9:48
Speaker 1: to go, I don't know where to start, And I say, Okay, well,
9:50
Speaker 1: which one of the three do you have? And that
9:53
Speaker 1: will help me determine which of the other two that
9:55
Speaker 1: you need? And once you know that's what I mean
9:58
Speaker 1: by the internal GPS, because one of the things when
10:00
Speaker 1: you set up to go to New York, they don't
10:02
Speaker 1: just say Okay, cool, you're going to start in New York. No,
10:05
Speaker 1: they where are you coming from? Where is it that
10:08
Speaker 1: your start? Where are you in that process to get
10:12
Speaker 1: to where you desire to go? And so that's where
10:14
Speaker 1: I break down, and where are you in the process
10:16
Speaker 1: of the three part formula? Do you have the opportunity
10:19
Speaker 1: and you need someone with the skill set and know
10:21
Speaker 1: how in the capitol? Do you have the capital and
10:23
Speaker 1: you're looking for the opportunity in the skill set? Do
10:25
Speaker 1: you have the skill set and you need someone with
10:28
Speaker 1: the opportunity in the capital, Like, those are the three
10:31
Speaker 1: things that help make any deal go. And when I
10:35
Speaker 1: coach and speak with entrepreneurs that are looking to get
10:38
Speaker 1: started and they don't know where to go. I often
10:40
Speaker 1: ask them what of the three part formula do they have?
10:43
Speaker 1: And that's how I'm able to connect with what other
10:46
Speaker 1: elements they need breaking it down into that formula, and
10:50
Speaker 1: like you said, with the focus to achieve it and
10:53
Speaker 1: obtain it, anything is possible. From the fifteen thousand square
10:57
Speaker 1: foot home that I started my real estate career to
10:59
Speaker 1: the nineteen million dollars portfolio, it's all been thanks to
11:03
Speaker 1: that three part formula. Wow. But it also means that
11:07
Speaker 1: it's something that you had to you know, as they say,
11:10
Speaker 1: you had to work on, you know, like you said,
11:12
Speaker 1: you know, being able to say this is what work
11:14
Speaker 1: and then started putting that aside and saying this part
11:17
Speaker 1: of I can be consistent with this, because that's the
11:20
Speaker 1: word I always tell people. It's two words that I
11:23
Speaker 1: live my life about consistency and communication. If you're consistent,
11:27
Speaker 1: then then you be able to have any level of communication.
11:30
Speaker 1: But if you inconsistent, you will never be able to
11:33
Speaker 1: communicate because nobody to trust you. And so when I
11:36
Speaker 1: hear you talk Jessica Myers the deal Maker, that means
11:40
Speaker 1: that you're saying to me Rashan, I'm consistent and what
11:43
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so when people come to me, I might
11:47
Speaker 1: when I communicate I have a history of success, because
11:50
Speaker 1: that that resume means something. Because it's a lot of
11:53
Speaker 1: people jump out there and saying there there they are
11:55
Speaker 1: financial advisors, they tell you the real estate experts, but
11:59
Speaker 1: don't have the resume. May exactly they don't. They don't
12:05
Speaker 1: have the receipts to back it up. It's the theory
12:07
Speaker 1: and the knowledge without the application. And as we know,
12:10
Speaker 1: knowledge is power and it's best known through experience. It's
12:14
Speaker 1: it's crazy because I went to school actually for journalism,
12:17
Speaker 1: so I didn't go to school for real estate. So
12:19
Speaker 1: to experience is what helped me to prune and come
12:23
Speaker 1: up with that formula, a three part formula. It's like,
12:26
Speaker 1: how do I extract what work out of my process
12:30
Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you do something, especially
12:32
Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, you feel like you're you're like Um
12:35
Speaker 1: Einstein or Thomas Edison where you're trying to figure out
12:40
Speaker 1: this equation and having a blueprint from success is what
12:47
Speaker 1: helps you to get there faster. Because Einstein spent hours
12:51
Speaker 1: and hours and hours going over UM what I think
12:54
Speaker 1: it was the thousandth of light bulb that wound up working,
13:00
Speaker 1: but once you gave up at nine hundred and ninety six,
13:04
Speaker 1: So that's where you talk about the consistency, where you
13:07
Speaker 1: talk about keep going in the path and the journey,
13:10
Speaker 1: because that's where it unfolds, even the three part formula.
13:15
Speaker 1: Once you put it in your life, you see how
13:17
Speaker 1: it works, see how it fits, See how it helps
13:19
Speaker 1: you to get to execution and success, and that's where
13:23
Speaker 1: the true magic comes and staying focused to the goal,
13:27
Speaker 1: to the dream, to the vision and watching it come
13:30
Speaker 1: to fruition. You have a book called A Real Estate Mastery,
13:34
Speaker 1: And before we go to break, tell everybody importance of
13:37
Speaker 1: that book and why did you write it? I oh,
13:40
Speaker 1: my gosh, so many people economy? How do I get
13:43
Speaker 1: started in real estate? And I found myself repeating the
13:45
Speaker 1: same thing over and over, and then that's what I realized, Like,
13:51
Speaker 1: it's really a lot of people have the same issue
13:54
Speaker 1: and the same problem. And so when you find yourself
13:56
Speaker 1: repeating it, and that's how you start to develop the
13:59
Speaker 1: process and you're like, wait, let me put this in
14:01
Speaker 1: a book. Let me put this in a way that
14:04
Speaker 1: breaks it down and explains it in ataining way because
14:07
Speaker 1: there have been a lot of things that you know,
14:09
Speaker 1: I've been through in my career that you know, for one,
14:13
Speaker 1: starting out with drugs, a contractor with selling drugs in
14:17
Speaker 1: my house when I was selling it, and it's like, oh, well,
14:20
Speaker 1: what do you do when you're in those type situations? Well,
14:23
Speaker 1: that's why I break down in the book, like how
14:25
Speaker 1: to maintain your contractors, how to you know, protect yourself
14:30
Speaker 1: against things that can happen that are wrong. And I
14:33
Speaker 1: really lay out the process of the autopsy in my
14:37
Speaker 1: book Real Estate Master not only how you can get started,
14:40
Speaker 1: but how you can protect yourself against you know, a
14:42
Speaker 1: lot of things that come up like a contractor selling
14:45

Speaker 1: they buy homes, they buy properties, and so they have
16:31
Speaker 1: equity in their lives and so and so we don't
16:35
Speaker 1: have equity. We don't have power, which in turn affects
16:37
Speaker 1: our credit. So this is a big story that we're
16:40
Speaker 1: talking about when we're talking to you about opportunities to
16:44
Speaker 1: be able to achieve success for people of color. And
16:47
Speaker 1: so when you walk out there, you are a woman
16:50
Speaker 1: of color, and then you talk about properties, you know,
16:54
Speaker 1: and that's what I always you know, we kind of
16:57
Speaker 1: trivialize the whole process. I always tell people, you know,
17:00
Speaker 1: we used to buying jewelry, we used to buying clothes,
17:03
Speaker 1: We used to buying shoes, and then we get up
17:06
Speaker 1: there and buys a car, you know, and then then
17:10
Speaker 1: if we're fortunate, we might buy a house. Now we
17:12
Speaker 1: used start buying an actual office building, we start buying
17:17
Speaker 1: an actual hotel, resorts. Now I can't even put my
17:24
Speaker 1: head around the fact that you've got properties in Indianapolis,
17:28
Speaker 1: you got properties in you know, Scottsburg, Indiana. You've got
17:33
Speaker 1: properties in the Arena, Oklahoma, right here in development, in Atlanta, Georgia,
17:39
Speaker 1: in the Bahamas. How do you why do you wrap
17:42
Speaker 1: your head around the fact that you, Jessica Myers is
17:47
Speaker 1: a hotel owner. Well, for one, it's a team effort.
17:51
Speaker 1: Anything that I do is always a team that is surrounding.
17:54
Speaker 1: But once once you understand the power of focus um,
17:58
Speaker 1: setting your GPS on the target, that's how you build
18:02
Speaker 1: people that will follow. Just as you saw in Forrest Gump,
18:05
Speaker 1: he just took off running and everybody's like, I don't
18:06
Speaker 1: know what we're running too, but we were running. We're
18:08
Speaker 1: running behind him. And that's what it's about, leading the charge,
18:12
Speaker 1: setting the destination. I set out to do one thousand doors,
18:15
Speaker 1: and how do you do so well? Doing it in
18:18
Speaker 1: one door at a time can be rather slow, But
18:21
Speaker 1: now the commercial aspect of it, getting into getting into
18:24
Speaker 1: the hotel space allows you to exponentially get Like when
18:28
Speaker 1: we got our home two Sweets by Hilton, we immediately
18:31
Speaker 1: added eighty five doors to our portfolio. When we picked
18:34
Speaker 1: up the second package, the Stay Bridge and the Hampton
18:38
Speaker 1: End that's in Indiana, that added two hundred plus doors
18:41
Speaker 1: to our portfolio. So it's almost like you start to
18:45
Speaker 1: build a team that's knowledgeable, that has that skill set
18:48
Speaker 1: and know how that helps you be exponential about achieving
18:52
Speaker 1: your vision and your dream. Because even what you spoke
18:55
Speaker 1: to just now, a lot of it was liabilities, you know,
18:58
Speaker 1: as far as things that are not income producing versus
19:03
Speaker 1: looking at assets which are income producing. And that is
19:07
Speaker 1: the power of leverage ownership, the access to income producing
19:13
Speaker 1: assets that even after you've paid for them or paid
19:17
Speaker 1: them down, they continue to provide cash flow so that
19:20
Speaker 1: you can build your portfolio. Because one of the main
19:23
Speaker 1: things that you talk to anyone, I don't care what
19:25
Speaker 1: your dream is. I don't care if it's to be
19:26
Speaker 1: a shoemaker, if it's to be a designer, if it's
19:29
Speaker 1: to be a knitter, of whatever your vision is. As
19:33
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, one of the main things you're going to
19:36
Speaker 1: need as capital. And when you go to get capital,
19:39
Speaker 1: and a lot of people in our community don't have
19:41
Speaker 1: trust funds, they don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars
19:44
Speaker 1: lined up, so they're dependent upon how to get capital.
19:48
Speaker 1: The most people think if I trade more time for money,
19:51
Speaker 1: then I can get enough capital to achieve my dream.
19:54
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is ownership of real estate allows
19:58
Speaker 1: you to leverage the equity then get capital so that
20:02
Speaker 1: you can fund your dream. So even for people who
20:05
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to be involved a
20:06
Speaker 1: real estate I don't like it, da da da coal,
20:08
Speaker 1: But just have ownership of an asset of some capacity
20:13
Speaker 1: so that you can then leverage that ownership into the
20:16
Speaker 1: asset to get the capital funding that you need even
20:19
Speaker 1: for your business. Now, if your business is real estate,
20:21
Speaker 1: you can leverage that and get into bigger plays, which
20:24
Speaker 1: is what I've done as a hotel owner. But you
20:27
Speaker 1: can do that to fund your dream. But it's all
20:30
Speaker 1: about getting in the game and getting access to ownership equity,
20:36
Speaker 1: you know, being able to borrow on your ownership, being
20:40
Speaker 1: able to build credit, being able to build credibility, being
20:43
Speaker 1: able to have a clear understanding of respect within the
20:47
Speaker 1: business community, being a woman of color, just a person
20:52
Speaker 1: of color in general. To even walk into the hotel
20:56
Speaker 1: a hospitality business, how were you able to do that? Well?
21:01
Speaker 1: For one strategic partnership, That's what I say about the
21:04
Speaker 1: skill set. And then know how understanding who what players
21:08
Speaker 1: to put on your team, so you achieve optimal success.
21:11
Speaker 1: My girl, you know, she would understanding what I was
21:14
Speaker 1: doing in the single family space as far as bringing
21:16
Speaker 1: together the capital, the opportunity, in the skill set and
21:19
Speaker 1: know how. And she was like, you know, if you
21:20
Speaker 1: bring that to the commercial arena, you can go a
21:23
Speaker 1: lot further. And she was the one divan actually had
21:26
Speaker 1: the experience from working at the front desk at the
21:30
Speaker 1: Hyatt all the way up to managing assets and portfolios
21:34
Speaker 1: worth billions of dollars for a lot of these overseas investors.
21:39
Speaker 1: And she was telling me they do the same thing
21:41
Speaker 1: pretty much. Hotels own less than ten percent of the
21:44
Speaker 1: inventory that they actually put their name on, So that
21:46
Speaker 1: means the Marriotts of the Hiltons, all of those they
21:50
Speaker 1: operate like franchise businesses that allow you to buy into
21:54
Speaker 1: the brand standard and have ownership into the building. And
21:58
Speaker 1: once I understood that, I was like, that's like real estate,
22:01
Speaker 1: just like what I do in the single family space,
22:03
Speaker 1: except understanding on the commercial side, it's a similar concept.
22:07
Speaker 1: Bringing together the opportunity itself. That's the hotel, that's the land,
22:13
Speaker 1: that's the what do I do the skill set and
22:15
Speaker 1: then know how, that's how do I make this play,
22:18
Speaker 1: how do I bring it all together all of the pieces.
22:20
Speaker 1: That's where you have the experts, the broker that helps
22:23
Speaker 1: to bring the opportunity, someone to help analyze the opportunity
22:26
Speaker 1: to make sure that it's a win win because you
22:28
Speaker 1: built your criteria. Those are the skill set and then
22:31
Speaker 1: know how that you will need on your team to
22:33
Speaker 1: make it happen. And then having the capital to execute.
22:36
Speaker 1: With the clear vision and understanding the skill set that's
22:40
Speaker 1: there to support the vision, people will come and write checks.
22:44
Speaker 1: And that's where we created a hedge fund to help
22:47
Speaker 1: receive the funds of those within our community that believe
22:50
Speaker 1: in the vision. And through that hedge fund is where
22:53
Speaker 1: we're able to purchase these assets. Wow, tell me about
22:57
Speaker 1: the five day challenge to get started. The five day challenge,
23:01
Speaker 1: like I said, when people want to get started with
23:03
Speaker 1: their dreaming and vision, and it was like, look, just
23:05
Speaker 1: take it to the goal, just take me to real estate.
23:07
Speaker 1: I just want to get started. But one of the
23:08
Speaker 1: things that you find is the deal blockers, the deal
23:11
Speaker 1: that's that fear that you're going to deal with. Like oh,
23:14
Speaker 1: because even for me before the hotel, you know that
23:17
Speaker 1: that Hilton Hotel that we acquired when we first got
23:20
Speaker 1: into the commercial industry. That was an eight point three
23:24
Speaker 1: million dollars transaction that it was the largest transaction that
23:28
Speaker 1: I've been a part of up until that point. So
23:32
Speaker 1: that was very you talk about fear, it was like,
23:34
Speaker 1: I don't think I've done anything over two million dollars
23:38
Speaker 1: up to that point. You know, we sold single family
23:40
Speaker 1: homes at one point eight million and one point four
23:43
Speaker 1: and one point six, but never in the commercial space
23:46
Speaker 1: over two million, So that there was a lot of
23:49
Speaker 1: fear around can I get started, should I do it?
23:54
Speaker 1: What if it doesn't work? And a lot of people
23:56
Speaker 1: get an analysis paralysis and they're like, oh my gosh,
23:59
Speaker 1: they're fierce. Fifles them from progress. And so not only
24:02
Speaker 1: do you have fear, you have procrastination. Procrastination comes from
24:07
Speaker 1: actually being a frame and you keep putting it off,
24:09
Speaker 1: but really you're just scared. You're just it's like, I
24:12
Speaker 1: need to get started. So one of the things in
24:14
Speaker 1: the challenge is how do we overcome that fear? How
24:17
Speaker 1: do we get urgency about achieving our goal which boasts
24:20
Speaker 1: confidence and what we're looking to achieve. And through that
24:22
Speaker 1: five day challenge, it's looking to change the mindset to
24:26
Speaker 1: get you to achieving even greater into the deals that
24:30
Speaker 1: you want to do. And the deals is being able
24:34
Speaker 1: to not say what you can't do, but position is
24:37
Speaker 1: do what you are capable of doing. And because that's
24:39
Speaker 1: what it all comes to. It's like, I remember when
24:41
Speaker 1: I bought my very first call fear in buying that
24:44
Speaker 1: first car, you know, looking at the notes three years
24:47
Speaker 1: or four you whatever your payment plans that you set
24:50
Speaker 1: up to buy that car or at least that vehicle,
24:52
Speaker 1: It's like, well, what's gonna happen? May if I lose
24:54
Speaker 1: my job? You can't even think it. You have to
24:55
Speaker 1: throw all those doubts of what you can do. You
24:58
Speaker 1: have to push those out the window, out your mind,
25:01
Speaker 1: because that will stop you from achieving your dreams. A
25:04
Speaker 1: lot of people do understand that that they stop themselves
25:07
Speaker 1: a lot of time from pursuing their own personal happiness
25:10
Speaker 1: because they get into the mindset of the what if.
25:13
Speaker 1: The what if will stop you more than anything any
25:16
Speaker 1: who creates the what else you because you can ignore
25:20
Speaker 1: the what ifs to come from other people, You can
25:23
Speaker 1: turn it down, and really the what ifs are crafted
25:25
Speaker 1: by past experiences, so you're you're thinking about. You know,
25:29
Speaker 1: if you saw somebody, you know, you saw something that
25:33
Speaker 1: happened to someone else, or you're listening to the news,
25:35
Speaker 1: it can impact your input and your output of what
25:40
Speaker 1: you want for your dream by listening to someone else.
25:43
Speaker 1: And that's why you, like you said, you got to
25:44
Speaker 1: put the bonders on and stay focused, stay consistent and
25:47
Speaker 1: what you're building, because if you're in someone else's lane
25:50
Speaker 1: worried about what they got going on, of course it'll
25:52
Speaker 1: make you're afraid. But y'all aren up to the same circumstances.
25:55
Speaker 1: Like you know, there are things in my life that
25:58
Speaker 1: I'm not a mom yet, so me having to plan
26:02
Speaker 1: for you know, like hey, I can't do this or
26:05
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Like I have a different set
26:07
Speaker 1: of circumstances that someone that may be a mom and
26:09
Speaker 1: they have to think about being a parent and what
26:12
Speaker 1: goes into their circumstances. So my circumstances in yours. That's
26:16
Speaker 1: why I say go by the formula and apply that
26:19
Speaker 1: formula in your life, because that's what's going to help
26:22
Speaker 1: you understand your plan. Because I can't tell everybody what
26:26
Speaker 1: to do based on my circumstances, but I can tell
26:28
Speaker 1: you who I became that helped me to achieve the
26:31
Speaker 1: results that I did, And that's important that you say that. Now,
26:35
Speaker 1: when is the cash flow game? Not this coming first
26:37
Speaker 1: week in April Cashlganna. I'm so excited for one. Robert
26:41
Speaker 1: Kiyosaki's book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad has been one of
26:44
Speaker 1: the most pivotal books that I've ever read in my life.
26:47
Speaker 1: For one, it teaches you about the rat race that
26:51
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes you don't even know that you're in.
26:54
Speaker 1: And so I was like, you run, run, run, run, run,
26:56
Speaker 1: and you're just like, wait, why am I not going anywhere?
26:58
Speaker 1: Because you're trading time for money and there is no
27:01
Speaker 1: way to outrun trading time for money. So you have
27:04
Speaker 1: to understand the concept of allowing your money to work
27:07
Speaker 1: for you. And he's put in this nice game that
27:10
Speaker 1: helps you. It's almost like Monopoly meets life, where you
27:15
Speaker 1: all take on a persona of you know, are you
27:18
Speaker 1: a police, chief, a doctor. You have bills, but the
27:21
Speaker 1: name of the game is to allow your passive income
27:24
Speaker 1: to exceed your total expenses. So everyone in there has
27:28
Speaker 1: total expenses and all of that, and you start out
27:30
Speaker 1: a zero and you have to go around and around
27:33
Speaker 1: and round the rat race and pull for opportunities until
27:37
Speaker 1: you find your way to allow your passive income to
27:39
Speaker 1: exceed your total expenses, and that's how you get out
27:42
Speaker 1: of the rat race. Playing this game single handily is
27:46
Speaker 1: what launched my career into real estate and allowing me
27:49
Speaker 1: to own my own time. Because really, I know we
27:52
Speaker 1: were talking about goals, they're talking about deal making and
27:54
Speaker 1: all of that, but it all boils down to owning
27:57
Speaker 1: your time. When I was in corporate America and I
28:00
Speaker 1: love to travel, I wanted to go on a trip
28:03
Speaker 1: and I used up on my vacation days and the
28:05
Speaker 1: HR director was like, Oh, don't worry, you can just
28:07
Speaker 1: borrow from next year. And when I realized that I
28:10
Speaker 1: had to borrow time from my employer, I realized I
28:14
Speaker 1: didn't own my time and that was a problem for me.
28:18
Speaker 1: And that's where I had to go back and was like, wait,
28:20
Speaker 1: we had to fix this. And understanding the game of
28:22
Speaker 1: cash flow is allowing your money to work for you
28:25
Speaker 1: instead of you working for it. And so we're creating
28:28
Speaker 1: this experience where you can get immersive learning where and
28:32
Speaker 1: not sitting down on a lecture, but you're actually playing
28:35
Speaker 1: in a game, and real life application to this game
28:39
Speaker 1: is what helped to change my life. And that's what
28:41
Speaker 1: I believe This Game Night is targeted at helping others
28:44
Speaker 1: change theirs and speaking to the deal maker. That's Jessica Meyers.
28:48
Speaker 1: She's a real estate developer and entrepreneur. As an investor

28:58
Speaker 1: about properties, were talking about Georgia, were talking about Indiana,
29:01
Speaker 1: We're talking about Oklahoma, We're talking about the Bahamas. And
29:05
Speaker 1: she always says no one wants a boss, but everyone
29:07
Speaker 1: needs a coach, and that's what she does. As we
29:09
Speaker 1: close out this interview, just talk everybody about what you
29:12
Speaker 1: do as a brand builder, what you do as a dealmaker.
29:16

32:20
Speaker 1: canin siate you know you you know you're motivated, you
32:22
Speaker 1: know your your entrepreneur. What did the musical side of
32:26
Speaker 1: you start to say? You know something, I gotta start
32:28
Speaker 1: showcasing this. I know it started with the song loss,
32:30
Speaker 1: which was dedicated to your wife, But how did that
32:33
Speaker 1: come about? You know? I think the musical side of
32:36
Speaker 1: me just woke back up. I had it. I always
32:39
Speaker 1: had it as a kid, you know, I was. I
32:42
Speaker 1: remember taking piano lessons as a child, and uh, when
32:45
Speaker 1: I got in seventh grade, I remember over hearing my wife,
32:47
Speaker 1: my mom talking to to the leader of a church choir,
32:51
Speaker 1: and she was saying his instructor said that he'll be
32:54
Speaker 1: ready to take over a church in about two years
32:56
Speaker 1: if if he keep on learning and playing like he did. Sir.
33:00
Speaker 1: I quit after that. I said, I'm not gonna be
33:02
Speaker 1: playing for on the church, ya. They take up too
33:04
Speaker 1: much of my time. So so you're trying to say,
33:09
Speaker 1: you're trying to say the church killed your you know,
33:10
Speaker 1: your musical dreams. Don't say that. Don't say that. Don't
33:13
Speaker 1: say that. Hey, I already was on the usher board,
33:15
Speaker 1: you know, and the junior choir, and I was, I
33:17
Speaker 1: was already in church two days a week, and I said, man,
33:19
Speaker 1: they're gonna have me in church three, four or five
33:21
Speaker 1: days a week, you know, in practicing with three different choirs.
33:23
Speaker 1: You know how it is absolutely absolutely absolutely you know,
33:26
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because you know, as I always tell
33:29
Speaker 1: people that that, you know, between the ages of eighteen
33:32
Speaker 1: and twenty four, you know, we are kind of like, um,
33:36
Speaker 1: we're kind of like you know, ambitious, you know, we
33:38
Speaker 1: are we we we see so many opportunities and nobody
33:42
Speaker 1: can tell us anything. We'll we'll chase those dreams. And
33:45
Speaker 1: I always tell people what you do between eighteen and
33:47
Speaker 1: twenty four. When you get your forties, fifteenes and sixties,
33:50
Speaker 1: that's what you start really making your money off of,
33:53
Speaker 1: you know, those dreams, those desires, those early passions. You know.
33:58
Speaker 1: So when I when I when I read about this
34:00
Speaker 1: and I saw I heard the song, and now this
34:02
Speaker 1: concert and we're going, I'm talking to doctor Scott Walter,
34:05
Speaker 1: Scott Metcalf, he's one of the stars from Bravos TV's
34:08
Speaker 1: married to medicine, and we're talking about this singing career
34:11
Speaker 1: right now. And we're going to talk about this medical
34:13
Speaker 1: career and this entrepreneurship because that's important because part of
34:16
Speaker 1: your brand, it's part of your development. But when you
34:18
Speaker 1: see people break out of these sides that you don't see,
34:21
Speaker 1: it's important to know that that sometimes you have to
34:25
Speaker 1: follow your dreams. That's why I always tell people, don't
34:27
Speaker 1: let nobody tell you what you can't do, you know,
34:29
Speaker 1: because people will tell you that. So when you start
34:32
Speaker 1: pursuing this aspect, the naysayers came out, correct, doctor Metcalf,
34:37
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure, they says came out, family, friends,
34:41
Speaker 1: you know, and definitely social media. You know. The naysayers
34:44
Speaker 1: always waiting for you. They don't even have to come out.
34:46
Speaker 1: They sitting there waiting to click this like. So that's
34:49
Speaker 1: how that's how that goes them. So how do you
34:52
Speaker 1: overcome that? How do you? Because that's what this show
34:54
Speaker 1: is about because of the fact that, you know, really
34:57
Speaker 1: social media. A lot of people do understand this about
34:59
Speaker 1: social media. You know, a like or dislike, a dislike
35:02
Speaker 1: can be a form of bully, and especially when you
35:05
Speaker 1: tie negative comment to it, and then it's tied to
35:08
Speaker 1: people you don't even know. You know, that's the that's
35:10
Speaker 1: the wild part about social media. You know, you can
35:13
Speaker 1: get emotional highs from the likes, but then the negative
35:18
Speaker 1: comments and the dislikes or the ugly emojis can also
35:22
Speaker 1: be emotionally down for you. How do you in a
35:26
Speaker 1: person who is a professional? You're a professional, you you
35:30
Speaker 1: with the school you've earned, a professional were respected, respected degree.
35:34
Speaker 1: How do you deal with the fact that sometimes people
35:38
Speaker 1: kind of like disrespect you and actually sometimes don't even
35:42
Speaker 1: believe you're a real doctor. You know, I guess thick
35:47
Speaker 1: skin and intelligence hopefully keeps me away from all the negativity.
35:50
Speaker 1: You know, because one, you're not gonna scoop down, You're
35:53
Speaker 1: not level that other people on the right, like gives
35:56
Speaker 1: me a disrespectful comment, it's just easy to block, delete
35:59
Speaker 1: and one with my life and and you know say
36:02
Speaker 1: they never existed basically, So so I think this is
36:06
Speaker 1: a level of having thick skin. You know, I'm the
36:08
Speaker 1: youngest of tenids and sticks and stones, you know, and
36:12
Speaker 1: and you know, I you know, the battles I've been
36:15
Speaker 1: through my life. Negative words could never hurt me nothing
36:18
Speaker 1: from social media. And my wife already told me when
36:20
Speaker 1: we first got on the show, don't you know, she
36:23
Speaker 1: knew more about reality TV than me. I knew absolutely
36:26
Speaker 1: nothing about it, didn't care about you know, and actually
36:30
Speaker 1: you know, refused to participate, you know, the first year
36:33
Speaker 1: that they offer it, and so um so she basically
36:36
Speaker 1: told me, like you just gotta not read the comments,
36:38
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I said that that's
36:41
Speaker 1: the bully area. That's the area of where they they
36:44
Speaker 1: they attack you on your on your on your video,
36:48
Speaker 1: on your video when the comments there can like be
36:51
Speaker 1: depressing and demoralizing because all you're doing is living your
36:55
Speaker 1: dream and you're sharing it. And that's what you were
36:57
Speaker 1: doing when you posted your video about your song, your
37:01
Speaker 1: your lyrics and all that it was just sharing your
37:04
Speaker 1: gift that God gave you. That's gonna be real about this.
37:06
Speaker 1: This is a gift. I can't sing, doctor Scott, I
37:09
Speaker 1: can't see so so you you ain't ever gonna get
37:13
Speaker 1: nothing negative from me. But there are people out there
37:15
Speaker 1: just like me who can't sing, but making comments though,
37:19
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. And when
37:22
Speaker 1: you're dealing with that, and you got the opportunity now
37:25
Speaker 1: on March twenty fifth, how I'm much gonna tell y'all. Look,
37:27
Speaker 1: it's so almost sold out, okay, because it's all always
37:30
Speaker 1: social media. Oh my god. He can't believe the tickets

40:03
Speaker 1: for music woke back up inning, you know. And how
40:06
Speaker 1: would you said, walk back? How did they wake back
40:08
Speaker 1: up at your house. Well, I had, Um, I had
40:12
Speaker 1: my nephew Javier, and doing piano lessons for my kids.
40:15
Speaker 1: Okay here at my home, and um, they be in there,
40:19
Speaker 1: and then you know, we did them on Sunday. So
40:21
Speaker 1: after after they finished the lessons, we go in there
40:24
Speaker 1: and and you know, get on the piano and we
40:26
Speaker 1: start singing old church songs because my kids have never
40:28
Speaker 1: heard the old good Baptist church song absoluted and and
40:32
Speaker 1: so we get in there, we start singing some mojos,
40:35
Speaker 1: acting silly, and then um, another friend sent me a
40:39
Speaker 1: beat and it just captivated me. And when Javier was
40:42
Speaker 1: leaving out, I had my phone. I had recorded the
40:45
Speaker 1: beat on my phone and I did a little voice
40:47
Speaker 1: memo and I said, Javier, I like this and can
40:49
Speaker 1: you can you like go home and singing hook to me?
40:51
Speaker 1: Can you just go like lost lost, so lost without you?
40:56
Speaker 1: And you know? And I said, can you do that
40:58
Speaker 1: hook for me? And then he came back to the
41:00
Speaker 1: neighbor with an amazing hook and I said, oh, okay,
41:03
Speaker 1: but let me, let me, let me get on the
41:04
Speaker 1: hook and let me write some rhymes with this, and
41:06
Speaker 1: uh and there you go. Next thing, you know, called
41:09
Speaker 1: a friend and we were up in the ashwork studios,
41:14
Speaker 1: all based on just a beat, and then you had
41:18
Speaker 1: the talent to come in and create the hook, because
41:20
Speaker 1: you gotta have a hook and the song like you
41:21
Speaker 1: got you know that hook, you know, great song. I
41:24
Speaker 1: always remember that, the famous of Harold mel winning the

Speaker 1: know if Teddy Pendegrass wasn't in the background singing that
41:39
Speaker 1: hook to miss you and it's not a song. Oh no,
41:43
Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct, absolutely correct. And that's why it's the
41:47
Speaker 1: beauty of doing these things and doing these things with
41:50
Speaker 1: a with a dream. And we're talking about the dreamer.
41:52
Speaker 1: We're talking about the person who who sits around and
41:56

43:44
Speaker 1: you've just heard it doctor Scott, the one and only
43:48
Speaker 1: Doctor Walter Scott medcam as we move in your life,
43:51
Speaker 1: being a person who the youngest of ten kids, can
43:54
Speaker 1: I ask what type of careers are lifestyle? Did your
43:58
Speaker 1: other siblings have? Did they motivate ate you to pursue
44:00
Speaker 1: a career an educational career, sir? You know, being the youngest,
44:04
Speaker 1: they motivated me. I had a very supportive family. They
44:06
Speaker 1: motivated me and supported me and everything that I've done.
44:09
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the only one that chose medicine. But
44:12
Speaker 1: you know we have I haven't an educator and counselor
44:15
Speaker 1: both for pH ds. I have a flight sister that
44:20
Speaker 1: was a flight attendant. To have a brother that's an engineer. Uh,
44:23
Speaker 1: two brothers that retired from the factory. You know, we
44:26
Speaker 1: were in Flint, Michigan. Student that was that was you know,
44:28
Speaker 1: they were in the factories. McDonald dared one sister that
44:32
Speaker 1: retired from the factory. One sister that got an advanced
44:35
Speaker 1: degree as well and went into business and worked for GM. So,
44:38
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much, my mother's stressed the education. She's
44:41
Speaker 1: you know, and she's she definitely stressed excellent in us.
44:44
Speaker 1: And she was in that era where you know, she
44:46
Speaker 1: moved that moved up here from the South. You know,
44:49
Speaker 1: she was a valedictorian of her class and so she
44:53
Speaker 1: wasn't on me, and so she made sure her kids
44:54
Speaker 1: wasn't no dummies. And and she her she she said,
44:58
Speaker 1: because of having kids that that kind of killed her
45:02
Speaker 1: dreams and of going to law school. And so she
45:05
Speaker 1: never she never finished her undergraduate degree herself. But you know,
45:08
Speaker 1: was super successful as a mom and just just overall great,
45:12
Speaker 1: beautiful woman. Well you know that like my Momla, I
45:16
Speaker 1: come a big family too, you know, six sisters and
45:18
Speaker 1: two brothers. So I I came and my mom was
45:22
Speaker 1: just like your mom. You know, she graded away from
45:23
Speaker 1: my high school very smart. But high school, you know,
45:27
Speaker 1: high school was the highest level of educations that she achieved.
45:30
Speaker 1: But you know, I myself, I just knew I just
45:33
Speaker 1: wanted to be pursue a life that was different from
45:36
Speaker 1: where I was living because I lived in the neighborhood
45:40
Speaker 1: you know, well, you know, my parents was in the
45:43
Speaker 1: hood Fifth Ward in Houston, Texas, and then we moved
45:46
Speaker 1: to the northeast side of Houston, Texas. Basically, I just
45:50
Speaker 1: moved from black people who were struggling to black people
45:52
Speaker 1: who wasn't struggling as much. Okay, So, and I knew
45:56
Speaker 1: I didn't like either lifestyle, and so I was motivated
45:59
Speaker 1: to see what was out there because basically my whole
46:02
Speaker 1: life doctor metcap All, I saw away black people my
46:05
Speaker 1: whole life, and so I didn't even know from a
46:08
Speaker 1: standpoint of what that white world looked like until I
46:12
Speaker 1: went to college. And that opened my eyes. When you
46:15
Speaker 1: start making that transition, tell us your background and then
46:17
Speaker 1: also transitioning from that high school world into college. Okay, Well, mom,
46:24
Speaker 1: after my father passed when I was five, my mother, um,
46:27
Speaker 1: it was six kids left at home, and so my
46:29
Speaker 1: mother actually decided to leave the city of Flint and
46:34
Speaker 1: we moved. We moved to a place where her and
46:36
Speaker 1: my dad used to vacation, which used to be called
46:38
Speaker 1: the even of the North if you ever heard of Idawa, Michigan.
46:41
Speaker 1: So we moved and grew up in Ottawa, Idawall, Michigan, Baldwin, Michigan.
46:46
Speaker 1: And so that was a pretty diverse community. But it
46:49
Speaker 1: was probably second to Ben Harvard, the forest community in
46:53
Speaker 1: miss h and Uh. But you know, but nonetheless, like
46:56
Speaker 1: I said, great mom, she always worked, she always provided,
47:00
Speaker 1: which was awesome. And so I was. I had a
47:03
Speaker 1: really diverse education and diverse friend group growing up. And
47:09
Speaker 1: so when I went to Michigan State, there was still
47:12
Speaker 1: a culture shock of coming into a classroom of three
47:14
Speaker 1: hundred people but none of us. But but there was
47:19
Speaker 1: there was you know, the diversity was was not anything
47:22
Speaker 1: that I had to get you know, adjusted to, you know,
47:26
Speaker 1: if I right. So so basically you're saying, like, okay, Rashan,
47:31
Speaker 1: I was, I had that diverse education. If I stayed
47:33
Speaker 1: in Flint had been a different story. But when she
47:35
Speaker 1: moved me and allowed me to adjust, and I would
47:39
Speaker 1: understand another side of life and how to communicate with
47:42
Speaker 1: another side of life. So winter Michigan State, other than
47:45
Speaker 1: the massive campus of over thirty five thousand students. You
47:49
Speaker 1: know that's my adjustment, correct, right? Correct? You know and
47:54
Speaker 1: coming and you know, like I grew up in the
47:56
Speaker 1: like the small town. It was not even the McDonald's there,
47:58
Speaker 1: not even the traffic light. Good. Yeah, big adjustment, big
48:02
Speaker 1: adjustment in that man. So how white medicine? Though? But
48:05
Speaker 1: why medicine? You know, I was, I was like to
48:07
Speaker 1: share personal stories where I talk to people because I
48:11
Speaker 1: know I can't cut on nobody. I know, I can't
48:14
Speaker 1: tell nobody that the sick. I know that. But why medicine? Certain,
48:19
Speaker 1: I think the power of positive reinforcement. My mother has
48:23
Speaker 1: been calling me. My mother and siblings have been calling
48:25
Speaker 1: me doctor since I was probably since I was walking. Wow,
48:30
Speaker 1: I've been saying I was going to be a doctor
48:31
Speaker 1: myself since I was five years old. And I remember
48:34
Speaker 1: in seventh grade I said, I really, I really made
48:37
Speaker 1: the decision, said I'm really going to be a doctor,
48:39
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm really gonna try to get all eggs.
48:42
Speaker 1: I made that decision myself in seventh grade. And like
48:44
Speaker 1: I said, my mother, and I'm sure my mother, you know,
48:46
Speaker 1: she she said, I know what you're capable of. You know,
48:49
Speaker 1: you really don't need to bring me nothing home more
48:51
Speaker 1: than they. You don't need to bring nothing less home,
48:53
Speaker 1: you know. She she just basically said that to me.
48:56
Speaker 1: And uh, I think how passing with my father dying
49:00
Speaker 1: of a preventable illness was was comply one of the
49:04
Speaker 1: deciding factors in my mind. He died of a metastatic
49:07
Speaker 1: colon cancer to the brain and just like just like
49:11
Speaker 1: a lot of black men, you know, he knew he
49:12
Speaker 1: was sick. He waited till after Christmas to go in,
49:15
Speaker 1: you know, and that was our last Christmas with them,
49:18
Speaker 1: so U yeah, and that was you know, five years old,
49:21
Speaker 1: almost six when he passed away, you know. So all
49:25
Speaker 1: that had all that, I'm sure just in that upbringing,
49:28
Speaker 1: you know, and then I had believe it not I
49:31
Speaker 1: even had a black doctor growing up in that in
49:34
Speaker 1: that small town, and he was a World War two
49:36
Speaker 1: veteran with my father, and my father was a medic
49:40
Speaker 1: in World War two. Wow, So there was there was
49:44
Speaker 1: there was kind of lionage there. Let me let me
49:46
Speaker 1: ask you this because you know, you said that about
49:48
Speaker 1: black men, and we hit that a lot in the
49:50
Speaker 1: black community. You know, before we hear two things in
49:53
Speaker 1: the black community. You know, not enough quality healthcare. But
49:56
Speaker 1: then we hear the story about black men who are
50:00
Speaker 1: don't want to acknowledge they need to go to doctors
50:03
Speaker 1: or don't want to go to doctors. What what's creates
50:07
Speaker 1: that doctor MAdCAM in our male community. Well, I think
50:13
Speaker 1: one lack lack of knowledge, you know, of of of medicine.
50:17
Speaker 1: That's that's that's definitely one, you know, and we know
50:21
Speaker 1: the main thing would be our our health care disparities
50:23
Speaker 1: and a lot of those are created by you know,
50:25
Speaker 1: lack of access, you know, lack of having representation of
50:29
Speaker 1: having an African American physician. Um, you know, um, we
50:34
Speaker 1: as African Americans make up what almost what twelve percent
50:37
Speaker 1: of the population, but yet less than four percent of
50:39
Speaker 1: us are doctors. So that's that's definitely showing that we
50:42
Speaker 1: don't have the representation as needed. And you know, ultimately
50:46
Speaker 1: with black man we know, uh, it stems from the
50:48
Speaker 1: mistrust of the medical system in general, and we can't
50:51
Speaker 1: hire the fact that there is and there should be mistrust,
50:55
Speaker 1: you know, but a lot along with that mistrust is
50:57
Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation. So you know, I tell people,
51:00
Speaker 1: like we know about the Tuskegee experiment, We know, the
51:03
Speaker 1: trocities that they committed against our black men and black
51:06
Speaker 1: women and black babies. Because if black men are affected,
51:08
Speaker 1: the wives are affected. So it's not like the men
51:10
Speaker 1: would just walk around syphilist. You know, the women were
51:13
Speaker 1: catching it too. The babies were catching it and having
51:15
Speaker 1: complications of you know, pregnancy and and and giving birth
51:18
Speaker 1: to the baby with cyphilis. So all those health care
51:21
Speaker 1: disparities kind of kind of mount up, and that adds
51:24
Speaker 1: up the apprehension of a black man, you know, seeking
51:28
Speaker 1: you know, to get medical attention. Cool that mistrust. Can
51:32
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't trust somebody, you're not gonna
51:34
Speaker 1: you're not gonna show up. That's absolutely true, because you know,
51:38
Speaker 1: we walk in there afraid. Anyway. I know, I've never
51:41
Speaker 1: walked into doctor's office confident because I don't know because
51:46
Speaker 1: I I don't know what they might find out about me.
51:48
Speaker 1: I don't know for a high blood pressure, I don't know,
51:51
Speaker 1: cholesterol level, I don't know. You know, I've been I
51:54
Speaker 1: you know, I've had a normal THORAXX in my life,
51:57
Speaker 1: which means that my long collapse while I was just
51:59
Speaker 1: watch and TV. I've I've been diagnosed with cancer, thyrod cancer,
52:05
Speaker 1: so you know, once you're diagnosed, as they might say
52:07
Speaker 1: that you in remission, but it means that it can't
52:09
Speaker 1: come back. I've been I've had my gallbladder removed, and
52:13
Speaker 1: so these are things you know, that have happened to
52:15
Speaker 1: me just in my daily life, my daily my daily process.
52:20
Speaker 1: And you know, the cancer was discovered basically through going
52:23
Speaker 1: in there doing exams. If I didn't have these exams,
52:27
Speaker 1: Lord knows, I may not be talking to you right
52:29
Speaker 1: now because I didn't. Nobody wouldn't have had that preventive
52:32
Speaker 1: medicine treatment, because I wanted to talk about that as
52:34
Speaker 1: we close out your interview about what as black people,
52:39
Speaker 1: black men, black families can do in the value of
52:43
Speaker 1: preventative medicine. Be advocates for one another. You know, everyone
52:49
Speaker 1: in the family should be advocates for one another, because
52:52
Speaker 1: like to say, for instance, my father died colon cancer,
52:55
Speaker 1: so I made sure that all my brothers had their
52:58
Speaker 1: colon cancer screening, not fifty you know, nine to forty five,
53:02
Speaker 1: but I made sure, I say, we had a higher risk.
53:04
Speaker 1: You know, our dad died of it, uncle died of it.
53:06
Speaker 1: So we getting our we all getting our colon ospies.
53:08
Speaker 1: By the age of forty. All my brother's done it.
53:11
Speaker 1: Two of us had two of us had polyps. You
53:13
Speaker 1: know that. You know, they say a polyp. If it's
53:16
Speaker 1: one of the specific polyps, that's the type of polop
53:18
Speaker 1: that can take about eight years to turn into cancer.
53:21
Speaker 1: So you know, So having those colon ospies at age forty,
53:24
Speaker 1: getting those polops removed, having to follow up colon ospy
53:27
Speaker 1: five years later, being clear, that's what you do. You know,
53:30
Speaker 1: that's what you do. You prevent that that that polyp
53:33
Speaker 1: from from growing over a period of eight you know,
53:35
Speaker 1: up to eight years and turning into cancer. So advocates
53:38
Speaker 1: for one another, educating one another, and one we just
53:41
Speaker 1: you know, you you you gotta find a doctor that
53:43
Speaker 1: you trust. Uh and you paying all this money for
53:47
Speaker 1: your healthcare, all you guys out there with those jobs
53:50
Speaker 1: and benefits, everyone for you. So I have an age
53:54
Speaker 1: appropriate physical exam for my males that are under under
53:58
Speaker 1: twelve from twelve twelve to eighteen, eighteen, twenty twenty five
54:02
Speaker 1: to thirty five. You know, so I know what needs
54:05
Speaker 1: to be done, what type of tests need to be done.
54:06
Speaker 1: When when we need to start screening for this, When
54:08
Speaker 1: we screen for test kick cancer. When we screen for
54:11
Speaker 1: prostate cancer, you know, and more importantly now, you know,
54:14
Speaker 1: if we start screening for depression, you know, we gotta
54:17
Speaker 1: we gotta recognize that this is Hughmongus in our black community,
54:21
Speaker 1: and we got to start screening these kids between age
54:23
Speaker 1: eleven and thirteen for depression. Absolutely. I'm talking to doctor
