• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Sean Robinson. How you doing, Sean? I love my friend.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? You know. So the beauty
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of our relationship is that it continues to grow and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you're and and and that's something special because you always, uh,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: our relationship goes over twenty years now and so now
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, I was wondering how long you and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I have known each other. It's been, um, well, I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: came to Access Hollywood in so it was since then absolutely,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: because that's when I first met you. I remember we
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: first met and uh, and and was just watching you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and uh, and right now I feel that you know me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We would all take a job. But now I feel
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like you're starting to control your narrative and talk to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: us about that. Because there's a journey to all of this.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: There's the points where you don't know who you are.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I remember when I stopped manager Steve Harbor, I could
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: tell you I didn't know who I was. I was
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: still cared the title of manager of Steve Harvey, former
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: manager Steve Harvey, and that was a burden of understanding
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: what I could do or what people expected from me.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And so and you was award winning television host for
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a long time, tied to a television series. How are
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we able to develop the brand of Sean Robinson? Well,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for saying that. And you know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: about the journey of being connected to UM, Yeah, something
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that is so big, and may be concerned about stepping
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: out of that UM and wondering who you are away
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: from what people knew you was doing, and so I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: saw so listen. I'm grateful for the sixteen years that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I was at Access Hollywood, and I felt that I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: achieved a lot. I came there before social media before Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: all that, you know, and it was a time when uh,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: entertainment shows like that, we're really in its heyday because
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: if let's say, if Beyonce wanted to talk about her album,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: she would come to and Access Hollywood and get the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: word out. Now, all she has to do is tweet
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it and then you know, she's selling a hundred million copies.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So it's different today, and so I'm thankful that I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was at this entertainment show during a time when it
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, much different than now. I mean,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: now you have a lot of different outlets, a lot
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of different shows, podcasts, all of that, which is great. Um,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and so the world, the universe has definitely expanded. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was at Access Hollywood for many
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: many years and I was just kind of getting burnt
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: out and just was like what is next, but afraid
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to separate myself from that entity. And I remember I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: went to see a life coach Rashan, and she said
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: she took out a piece of paper, she had a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: pencil on her hand, and she put it a gigantic
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: circle on the piece of paper and she said, sean world,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Access Hollywood, It's like a little tiny dot in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: whole world. And I remember that because I was like,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: there are so many more things that I could be doing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And when I did leave, there are a lot of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: people saying, Okay, what are you gonna do now? How
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: do you know? I wish I could leave my job,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but I'm afraid I don't know what there is for
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: me on the other side of this. And I say
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to everyone, you are in control of your destiny, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: your destiny doesn't look like what anybody else thinks. It
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: looks like, it looks like what you think it looks like.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And I was just having a conversation with a girlfriend
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of mine. She was interviewing me at a conference. She said,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know you would reach the brass ring and what
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: was on the other side of that. I was like, well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: brass ring, I'd be a brass ring and somebody else's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: book or it may have been a brass ring at
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: one time, but the brass ring for me now is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: controlling my own destiny and writing my own stories and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: having a boy as in the types of shows that
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I produced and host so UM. And it's so interesting
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: because when I started UM the year after I left
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Access Hollywood, Uh, left in two thousand and fifteen, my
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: father just passed away. It was just a really uh
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it was a really tough time for me, and a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: time when I said, oh, okay, okay, times of Chicken.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You know, life is short. Got to get out here
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and just see what I can make happen. And um,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ninety day TLC had reached out to me about hosting
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this tell all reunion show for ninety Day Fiance, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, nine Day Fiance, what's that right? So
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they sent me some clips and I was like, okay.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I said, this will probably last like maybe one season
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: or something, and I'll do the tell all and maybe
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: do one more. I said, will probably be canceled after that.
• 7:54

• 8:00

  Speaker 1: if you had a high energy host or a host
• 12:44

  Speaker 1: watching you, you kind of like caught off guard or
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: what to say next? Because this doesn't make sense in

  Speaker 1: was a boy, was a super freak board on the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: farm and looks like his dad and mommy Betty and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: raw Horny too, you know. And don't want to have
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: him make no noise over there one because they're making
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: all the noise over there in their room. But it's
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a it's a fun show because you know, you get
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to see the you know, like like Terek, uh, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: poor poor poorl Dean when he talked about his brothers
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: so bad, talking about he a fifty year old rapper,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I know, and you know what the conversation
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: between Terek and Dean. At first they were so close,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: but then there was some brotherly rivalry going on there
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and then they you know, separated, they didn't talk to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: each other. So you know, having you know, having both
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: of them, one in the studio the other fun video,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and they were going at it, going at it, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you were like, you were hoping that these brothers could
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: mend fences. But that was a really supertense moment on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: bears off and then and that's what you're talking about.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And if you're talking they crossed shows in there because
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: they fell out on Pillow Talk, right right exactly. Pillow Talk. Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So Pillow Talk is another spinoff of ninety Day where
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: people from the ninety day universe. It could be like
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Trek and Dean brothers, or it could be a husband,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: wife or boyfriend girlfriend. They sit in the bed and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they watch the show and they give their opinion about
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the show. Like every time something happens, like if David
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and Annie where to go in the sex shop, one
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of them might shout out, oh my god, I can't
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: believe they're in the sex shop or whatever. You know,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: they will say, well, the you know, if you if
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you saw the conversation, you know, Terek's version was that
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Dean was pellous of him. Okay, he was jealous of
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the attention that he was getting. Dean's version is that
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to Reek would steal some of his lines that he
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: during Pillow Talk. And so something happened after that last
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: taping of Pillow Talk and they just completely fell out.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So it was it was bad, and so we brought
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the brothers together on Bears all and they were hashing
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it out, you know, hopefully they can come back together.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And then another brother joined in the conversation and that
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was more drama because that was kind of like they
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: crossed episodes. Yes, well yes, because they were on um
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I think it was. They were on ninety Day, to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Read and Hazel were on ninety Day, then on Pillow
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Talk and then they were on Bears also. Yeah, so
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: is We bring together everybody and you will see different
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: matchups on bears All. You will see people from different
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: shows come on bears All for the first time. So
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: that's what's fun about it, bringing people together that you
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: don't expect to see together. We have some things out.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: You need to see my conversation with Brittany. Boss Brittany,

  Speaker 1: translators because you have the angry pe and you see
• 24:29

• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and then the translator has to translate it, and then
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they have to and then they don't translate it all correctly.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Then you got the angry, non communicating person trying to

• 29:47

• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it you laid it that way. I appreciate that.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it much. Well, you don't think that the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: thing about I gotta go way back, you know, to one.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I know, I was in l A at the time,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Steve Harving, I was doing radio in l A. So
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: we were starting our dream. And when you start a dream,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it always is just something just doing. There's no set
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: where you're gonna be five years from now, ten years
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: from now, or even twenty years from now. What you
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: are right now? What was the plan when you just
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: owned those stories twenty years ago of the breakfast, And
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: what was the plan? Um? You know? In in nine nine,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I set out and UH wrote the vision and made
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: it plain. I envisioned us being a staple for the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: city of Houston. I envisioned us being UM synonymous with
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the city. I envisioned us being known from UH coast
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to coast, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. I envisioned
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: us being an intricate part of the community. And I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: envisioned us being a source of inspiration for our community.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Knowing where we stood in this industry and what the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: opportunities uh were, I envisioned to feel that that that void.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to create this concept uh step out
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: on faith um and give Houston and and the AFFL
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: community what it deserves, what the what it deserves, what
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you brought to the table. But when all, when you
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: have a product and you have to charge people for
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that product, that always leads to mixed emotions because especially
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: in our community and on the beauty of the breakfast
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: club is that if you get in line, it is
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: one of the diverse lines in the world. Is everybody
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: that line his Spanish white? Sometimes more whites and live
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: than blacks. Okay, so he's serving that international customer that
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: he wants and so, but it didn't start out like that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And so making that price point, how did that come
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: into play to You can make sure you're comfortable with
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: it because you gotta make money, but you also have
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to make sure the cort doesn't feel offended. So let
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: me let me address the first half of that. Right
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: you talked about the diversity. I mentioned just a second
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: ago that I wanted to be UH synonymous with the city.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be an ambassador reflection of my city,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and the city of Houston is was and is a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: microcosm of the United States. It is a very diverse,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: diverse city, and I wanted the concept to be just
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: as diverse. I'm gonna tell you something. I remember driving
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: bankers and potential investors crazy when you know this as
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: a businessman, you know this. I will go into the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: banking or business plan and UH they would ask who
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: is your target audience, who's your target demographic? And I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: told them anyone and everyone that wants to participate, we
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: are inviting to participate. And they would try and drill
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: me down or no, you gotta demonified target demographic. And
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I insisted that I didn't. That I wanted to do
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: something different. I wanted the city of Houston to be
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: reflected in the breakfast club. And here's the example that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I told the bankers that never gave me any money.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I wanted a place where. I wanted a place where
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: UH college students from Malma Mata, Texas Southern and you
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: have Aged and Rice and you have AGED Downtown and St. Thomas,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: all surrounding UH universities surrounding the breakfast club. I wanted
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: them to sit in the same space where Fortune five
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: hundred vps and c e O s sat for breakfast.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Because we were on the outskirts of downtown. I wanted
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the folks in the medical center to come and have
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: lunch with the people who work on the light poles.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I wanted any and everybody that wanted to participate in
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: this concept called uh fellowship. I wanted them in and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: so uh that that's where the idea of the version.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you some funny. I knew we had
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: arrived at what I had envisioned. The bankers told me,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: hell now, the investors told me hell no. Maybe that's
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: why none of them gave me any money. Right, I
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: never will forget one day seeing um one of my
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: marketing folks, she could say, come here, you gotta see this.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: This is this is what you envisioned. And I walked
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: outside and in the parking lot was a convertible Lexus
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: coop and the brother got out and he was clean. Right,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that's like what Sean. I was like, is that ver
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Sean mcdonnet stop. He was clean, And right next to him,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: this brother pulled up in a back home, and he
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: in his overalls and his boots and he got out
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and he stood the writing line with that brother that
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: was in that our money. So now it's like that's
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. But you know, it's really tragic how
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: people will everybody each food, you know what I'm saying, Marcus,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But still they act like, you know, okaun, your food
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: has to have a certain market. You know. I don't
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: know anybody who just don't eat breakfast, you know, I
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: think everybody eats breakfast, you know, but when you up
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: African American mayor walking in there, you must be just
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: targeting black people, Okay, and then do what you say that,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: then they're gonna trap you even more because they're gonna
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: tell you how much you they think you can make.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Once you say you just targeted, I marketed, they don't value.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: So that's always smart to hear that on this show,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: and coming from a person who said, no, I my
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: brand and my customer base will be everybody. If you
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: hold on to that dream and don't let anybody just
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: do your dream. That's why I say up top, don't
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: let nobody alter your dreams and your plans. You know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: So going I started this thing off, talking about bitch
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and a couple of concepts. I want to make sure
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that we worked through today. Brother. You know you know
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a son and grandson and great grandson of Baptist preachers.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So I have I have my points, right, I got
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: my not absolutely, I love it. You know when you
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: called me, said Richard that we're talking Mark David based
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and used to Texas. So you get part great breakfast
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and part motivation depending on what day you get him.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: When he called me, rich you said the twenty years
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: is coming up. I come back, I said, Marcus, you
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: don't have to push this conversation when you want to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: come on. So get the preacher, brother. And and here's
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: why I thought that was important. And when I when
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I started this business, when I started working on the plan,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I ran into all the statistics, right, all the statistics
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: that see it. Restaurants has the highest failure rate arong
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: along with clubs and bars. Right. Uh, it's a miracle
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to make it past the first twelve months. It's a
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: miracle to make it past twenty four months. If you
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: hit five years, you're doing something miraculous. And here we
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: are four times that sitting on our twenty year anniversary,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: twenty years of inspiring entrepreneurship in the city of Houston.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: And that's a testament to a number of concepts, and
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that starts with the first thing that you said, opening
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: was vision right and believing whole hardening who you are
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: and what you've been called and created to be, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: not letting anybody deter you because absolutely positively folks will
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: try to deter you. Now it's not out of anything.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm not big on this hater thing and people
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: hating on you and stuff like that. What I am
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: big on is understanding why they don't agree with you,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: on why they don't see what you see. Your vision
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: that was gave to you, that was given to you,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: was only given to you. The Creator made it, Taylor
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: made specifically for you, and it is not and it
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: has not been exposed to the rest of the earth
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: because you're the one responsible for developing it. You're the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: one responsible for going into the dark room, taking that
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: negative and turning into a positive. I know, I speaking
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: foreign language because we don't develop a lot of feeling anymore.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: But you get the concept right, that picture that the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: creator gave to you. You are the person responsible for
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: going into the dark room and developing it. So the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: people that that that don't say a man in your corner,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the people that do not agree with you, the people
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that are not backing you up, it's not because they
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: have any ill will. It's because they haven't gotten the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: picture that you're responsible for painting. And that's the most
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: important thing is that you have to be willing to
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: under stand that it all gonna fall back on you.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: So a lot of people, when they have their dream,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: they want people to feel sorry for them when they're
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: doing bad, and they want to be excited for them
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: when they're feeling good. I keep a medium roll in
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: my whole approach to life, and plus I don't try
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: to share too much excitement, and I never share failure
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: because sharing failure with somebody when they feel you're supposed
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: to be successful will only create doubt in your circle.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: And so that is what happened a lot during the pandemic,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: because we had a year in twenty where there was
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: nothing but doubt, there's nothing but uncertainty. They shut down
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: your business, like all businesses around this country for two months.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: How did you come out of that with the same
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: enthusiasm that that that natural enthusiast I see all the time,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and you for your business to breakfast club. That was
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: your primary business, of course, but how did you survive?
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: So you know, it was only one of the things
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: that I'm grateful for. There's a there's the thing going
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: around on social media and and and it's interest and said,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I asked for courage, so I was giving things that
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: would frighten me in order to developed the courage. I
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: asked for uh strength, So I was giving heavy weight
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to carry in order to make me stronger. I don't
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: know where it came from, but I thought it was
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: it was. It was pretty elegant. The reality of it
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: is the Breakfast Club not only we celebrating twenty years
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: in business, two decades of inspiring entrepreneurship on the corner
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: of Travis and Alabama, but we are also proving what
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: it means to be battle tested. Right. The pandemic was significant, Right,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: It was a very significant, spectacular event and and detrimental
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: to a lot of businesses. One of the things that
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I am grateful for is that it was not our
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: first rodeo was at our first pandemic, of course, but
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: we opened this business underpression. We opened this business when
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the streets wanted construction. We opened this business on the
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: heels of Hurricane Allison, which hit our build them before
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: we got to serve sale one grid. We opened this
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: business when Hurricane I was here and Hurricane Harvey came through.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: We opened this business and in ruin crashed. We all
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: in two weeks before UH nine eleven hit, which was
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a big deal because because downtowns in a lot of
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: cities took a decline, because folks were scared to go
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: into work if you worked in the major metropolitan city.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: So we on the on the hills of in run
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: crashing UH nine eleven happening, Uh Alison. Then I. Then
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: you had that little thing in two thousand and seven
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: where gas was sky high. Yeah, the other thing where
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: food jumped up two thousand seven, two thousand and eight,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: bringing in the recession where folks are getting laid off
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: left and right. Uh. You move on down to Hurricane
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Ike where we were closed for five whole days, and
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: then Hurricane Harvy. We are battle tested at thirty or
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: seven eleven, Travis, and that's what prepared us for what
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: came forward in one We've been through the Royal Range.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: We've been through the storm and my team, uh we
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: we've developed a certain amount of diligence where we can
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: perform under the pressure. Our metal has been tested. I'm
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: so grateful uh that we that that we had the
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: ability to to perform. And I'm extremely grateful catch this
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: that the community uh soft fit to sustain us during
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: that time. And that's what good will would do for
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: you Absolutely do good in writing just by the people,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: then prayerfully most times off times they will respond, they
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: will And I'm fortunate that the people responded uh to
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: what we needed them to respond to. But lets just
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: change something about Marcus Davis and his his personality, his
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: willingness to answer the call for promotional opportunities. You know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: when I just Steve Harvey Shaw owned National Syndication, called Marcus,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: he didn't like, go let me think about it, what time?
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: When do you want to be there? Because he under
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you understood the value of the moment and a lot
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: of people understand the value of the moment. But more
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: importantly about Marcus, he knows how to take up possitively
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: advantage of that moment. And that really I'm not saying
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: that's one of the the rememberable moments in your business.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: But you have a lot of them in there, like
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: with Oprah to Steve Harvest talk about how you and
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: let me just tell y'all strategically, I may have asked
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: him to come on to Steve Harvey Talk show, but
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: he had a strategy as to why he was coming.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: My correct, Marcus, But I mean, you're you're absolutely correct.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: And I know this is and I know this sounds
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: a little far um, but there was a time where
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: you didn't have the world at the touch of a button.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: That was a time when you didn't have the East
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Coast and the West coast available to you via Twitter,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: vi Instagram, their Facebook. That was the time where you
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: had to bust your butt in order to get that
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: type of recognition. And you had to also be lucky,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: uh as a result of the good work that you've done. Right,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: So the hard work that we put in uh, combined
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: with relationships that we had built UH allowed us to
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: have opportunity is where someone like yourself did pick up
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the telephone and say here we go. Yeah, man, it
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: was it was it was all right real quick. So
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: at the time they had this morning show on on radio,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: was the time John the Morning right that that that
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: was I don't were you in radio then, because it's
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: a one or two point one? Yeah yeah, so uh
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: the time Join the Morning Show. And I sat there
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and thought, man, how in the heck am I gonna
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: get on Tom join the Morning Show. I ain't got
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: to them joining the money, right. I know I can't
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: run national advertise, right, I don't have Twitter and I
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: don't have i G so I can't push these buttons.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: So I came up with this idea, and um, the
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: idea was to go buy a hundred and to Neon
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Bright Neon shirts and to pass them out to a
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: hundred two people standing in line and tell them to
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: wear that shirt and if I see you wearing that shirt,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: that I'm buying you grits after the end of the show.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: And man went all one hundred and two of those
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: folks lined up and running the breakfast club after that show.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: And then your boy Jay Anthony came through, and then
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: they started mentioning this on on on the show, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Tom start mentions on the show, and then I was
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: like hot, damn Rashan and called we will be right

• 46:44
  Speaker 1: As I continue my conversation with restaurant tour motivational speaker,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: founder and CEO of the Houston based Breakfast Club restaurant
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Marcus Davis. See strategy, always have a strategy, but you
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: gotta have the product and you gotta have the service. Okay.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: So so when you come there, now, if that be
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: a lie, guess what, that's what happened. Properly, you're popular,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: but they friendly as soon as they see you, soon
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: as you're coming that door, air conditioning, work the menu,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: and they don't go and go, hey, we don't have
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that on the menu today, not not not at the
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: breakfast Club. If it's on the menu, they got it
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and it serves over because because black restaurants get a
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: lot of because we have to say that too, you know,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: black restaurants can't get a bad restaurant, and our black
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: people will carry bad news faster than good news. And
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: so now let me let me, let me, let me
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: put a pin in that because I have I have
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: to say this right and I'm not stating what you're
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: saying is is untrue. It's absolutely true, but it's also
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: true of none black restaurants. I went to a restaurant.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I went to a restaurant the other day that was
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: none black owner was right on, and it's made the chain.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And out of the eight things on the menu they
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: didn't have they only had three on them. Right. But
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: we're conditioned to believe a certain thing about our businesses.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: That's the condition to believe about the other uh business all.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: All I'm saying is we gotta keep that same energy.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: So when Pope Eyes tell you they ain't got uh
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: no more chicken, then you know we gotta keep You know,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: it's terminal terminal where you went on? Hold? Can I
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: can I go back to somebody say, because I don't
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: want to miss it. You mentioned you mentioned about the product,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: right you You mentioned about having the product getting in
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: that space where people make the calls and you get
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: some national recognitions one thing. But having the product to
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: get you there is a whole another thing. And the
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: three things that that that I share with my team
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: from day one, these are my my key principles for success.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Quality product, quality service, all the time. Quality product quality service,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: and do it every freaking time you unlock that due
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: that's not the same. Mistakes are not gonna happen. But
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: your goal, your mission, should be to make sure that
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: every time you unlock the door, you deliver the quality
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: product through the hands of great people. And you're doing
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: it each and every single time. Now, why is that important?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Because if folks come to the breakfast club today and
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: they go out and tell their moming them and they're
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: cousin them and niecing them, when leasing them, come nesing them,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: are gonna be expecting the same grits that they got
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: that the that there you know, that aren't told them around,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: or that they got last time. And so you have
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to be able to deliver those things. When I say
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: quality product, brother, that there is an attempt, there's a
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: temptation right to want to change and move things around
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: just because somebody come to you and tell you, hey, man,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I can get you some cheaper, cheaper wings, and that
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: are they the same size, are they the same quality
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: of meat? Right? And will they be consistent? Those three
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: things are important to me before I before I jumped
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: to price, because price is one side of it. But
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: if you're giving me eight ounces wings one day and
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: two ounce queens the next day, I can't deliver that
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to my guests. If you're delivering me, you know, high
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: quality wings one day, or catfish one day, in low
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: quality catfish another day. I can't deliver that to my guests.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: You have to stay consistent in the quality that your
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: guests deserved. That's important that you say that, because it
• 50:10
