• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you can still have your one slide to pizza, you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can still have your right chicken breath. It's about cheat.
• 4:22

• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and the cheat milks being no bigger than your hand.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's because that's what I'm on. That's exactly right,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and never I'm just gonna tell you because I wanted
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to just let everybody it's just the real deal. Rashan
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: McDonald's on this diet. I've had that. You know. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: went from three belf notches to four, so my waistline
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: in one week. Now, this is just one week, rahand,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You're not just saying that, right, you know if you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: actually lost the candle. Dude, dude, I'm telling you the truth.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you the truth. And here's the funny part
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: about it is that here's the funny part about because
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I read the book, and the book is great because
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they have testimonial real people in there. They show you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: before and after pictures in the book, and I was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: just going through and I kept I was looking at
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: some of these menus waivers Ranchero's. I went, your kidding
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: me buffalo wings? I said, you kidding me? Okay? And
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: so you know, you know, there wasn't no typical diet
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: book I was reading. I was it what the cod
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just cheese? It? What the stuff I'm not gonna want
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to eat? And so it's appay. So so so I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: go to Sprouts, right, I go to Sprouts, and and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so I look at everything is proportioned, you know. So
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I go in there. I got the menu because it's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: an easy book to read, and I just started buying
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: stuff that I would normally buy based on the book,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the normally based on eat and I so I stacked
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: at my refrigerator. So I swear to you, I when
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I started following the book, after I made all these purchases,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I have over, I have like what I thought would
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: be one week with food is now maybe three to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: four weeks with food beautiful because because and I'm not hungry,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: No I'm not. You know, from the you know, dry
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: nuts to putting up you know, a third cup of granola,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: granola yoga on top, you know, now old school rashaw,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: when have just pile that bowl up? You know what
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, and just throw that yoga up on top,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and I've been good, but I wouldn't have lost these poles.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The problem with our society is that our society wants
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to blame carbs on weight gain and fat game, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we're not. Carbs are your best friends. It's not your enemy,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it's your best friend. You need carbs to be at
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a function from day to day a lot of times.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know, weight gain versus weight loss truly is about
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: bad calories, horrible calories, and you're consuming too many calories.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You can, I mean with the cut, you can literally
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: have carves. With every million, you're still gonna lose weight. Okay,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So carves is never It is not your enemy, it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: your friends. Without It's like the analogy exist. It's like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: trying to drive a car without gas. That's how you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: when you take carves out of your system, that's what happens.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You can't function. You wouldn't do your radio show without it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So you need it. So because I'm on the phone
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with Obie ABADQUI got it right there, yes, and we
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: were discussing the book he Cars author with mar chest Nut.
• 7:18

• 8:02
  Speaker 1: And it's not about a cheat day. It's not about
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a cheat weekend. That's why I like about it, because
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you're telling me, okay, don't don't, don't, don't, don't go
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: crazy on the day. This is part of the diet.

• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the on the one day turn around. I'm talking. Abo's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a five and a half hour flight that I did
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in the you know what I'm saying. I went five
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I went five and a half in the morning and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: came back that night. I'm just letting you know. It
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: did not change my lifestyle, even though I didn't enjoy
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the flight, but I still was healthy. I did everything
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I needed to do. It came back and I'm good. Dude.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm on the morning show with you today talking have
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you been exercising as well? And just you know something
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: we should to bring that up because in the book.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I love the book because it shows you a lot
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of exercise you can do without weights. Just just in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the gym, which is really important because that's the reason
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I'm the reason I'm a champion. This book is this Okay,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he showed me a menu. I just went in the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: grocery store and just started buying what I normally eat. Okay.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And the thing about it is that it's really smart
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: because a lot of books are scared you away with
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: win things. And when I when I read that buffalo
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: wing thing, I went buffalo wings. But just think about it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: They'll tell you five buffalo wings who can't count? Now
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you you know what I'm saying, can't count? Where you
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: go six ounces or three ounces that are like, oh
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: my god, all that I don't have a scale, but
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you can't count five chicken week right without it? That
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we this book is really about. It's about working with
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: everyday real people. We had a guy dropped a hundred
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: seventeen pounds in one year, Mike Copper from the book.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: We had a guy named Rome Douglas, an x NFL player,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: who lost eighty pounds. We had a female who lost
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: twenty eight pounds in twelve weeks, thirty pounds in twelve weeks.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So it works, and it's it's really simple. It's focusing
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on eating whole foods, and you can't eat everything you want.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: You just have to do it within moderation. That's all
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it is. Because anything, if you do anything extreme, exercising, eating, dieting,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's not sustainable. You want to be able to enjoy life.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be able to be like, oh
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: my god, not another pull up, not another push Oh man,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you don't need to work out seven days a week.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You don't need to eat healthy seven days a week.
• 10:51

• 14:52
  Speaker 1: when you get when when you got booked on the show.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I couldn't wait till they sent me the book, okay,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: And I've been searching more's different age to lose weight
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and feel comfortable and stay consistent. And so I immediately
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: went on Amazon dot com. Real easy, We're on Amazon

  Speaker 1: dot com and I downloaded to my kindle and I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: just loved it. Man, I'm on the plan and I

  Speaker 1: the book is you know, the cut loose up the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: ten pounds and ten days and sculpt your body. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you. In the middle of that,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I had to travel from Atlanta to to l a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: round tripped in one day, and they kind of threw
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: me off, you know, because when you travel, you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you just out there. You know, all bits are off.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So so I would probably be accurately my seven for seven,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: uh huh. But that travel day and so to say
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that I'm on my I'm like six pounds. I stepped
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: on the scale today and I'm happy, man, I'm happy, happy, happy,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And I just wanted to get that testimonial out before
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: we got scared. I appreciate that. I appreciate it. So
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: tell me. Tell me about the book of the book,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: tell me about the Obie and how it all got started,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and all got started when um I had to get
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: ready for the Best Man and I was I wasn't.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, probably my heaviest weight at that
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: time because I was filming I was feeling the show
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The Nurse Jackie. In New York. It was really really cold.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I literally would not walk outside my department that I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was staying in New York to walk across the street
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: to go to the gym. That's how cold it was.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: And then Michael Lee called miss Hay, you know, we're
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: about to do The Best Man. People to stake and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, So then I was actually on
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a conference call with someone and she was a fitness
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: she was a fitness person, and she was pitching us
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: an idea about something else. And I went to her
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: website and I saw a picture of Obie. Let's say,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: who just capt ready? Because and she said that, you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: she gave me the information and and and I just
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: started working out together and and all the things that
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that we implemented, and the workout getting ready for The
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Best Man we put in the book. And so then
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: we came time to do the press tour for The
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Best Man, everyone kept throwing the picture with me with
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: my shirt off, and how did you get in touch
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: with shape? So we're like, hey, let's just put this
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in the book and and and and give it to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the people. And that's what we did with the cut.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So the the goal was just for you just get
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in shape for the movie. That was the goal. Let
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: me just go throw out some gowns here about this.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: When you started, Mars was two hundred and twenty pounds.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: That's right and scaled down scale down two hundred and
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: eighty seven pounds in just twelve weeks. Yeah, just twelve weeks.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: So so so the reason I'm really excited about this because,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: like I told you guys at the beginning of the interview,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm on it. And when I read the book, this
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was this one got me was that the menused though Mars,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the menus waving Francho's right right right, you know, tacos
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: right right, right, right, right right, you know, regular food,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and that really trips people out, you know, And so
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: so so I'm just letting everybody know, and I'm not
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to jump so far that because this
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: is your book. I'm just an excited participant. Marris's appreciated
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: because I was to the same thing. You know, your
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: your participant. I was a participant to because everything that
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: we did to get me down and ready for the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: movie is in the book. And the thing about it
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: is that they're they're pictures of just regular people who's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: showing you that it actually does happen. And I did that.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I just I'm just amazed what I hear, and I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and I and I see and I look at myself.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: No I'm not ready to get in the book now.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take my shirt off. Not Marris, I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: not gonna do that. We give We'll give you another months.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: We'll give you another month. Thank you very much, thank
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you very much. Exactly. So, when when you when you
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: when your people talk to you and you're you're you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: walking testimonial and that the cut, you know, losing ten
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: pounds in ten days, there's always naysayers, how do you
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: how do you get around that to saying, well, you
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: know you had a trainer, you know, more like you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: had a trainer. Well, I'm a big proponent of trainers
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: because just just the unfortunate reality of life is that
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: sometimes people push us harder than we can just push ourselves,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: especially when you get into a gym. You know, you
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: get into a gym and you do just enough for
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you think you can't go anymore than you kind of stop,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: but the trainer kind of pushes you over the top.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm a big proponent of trainers. Um And in
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: terms of the book, um and and people, all the naysayers.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It's with anybody and with anything, you have to be
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: in the right frame of mind to really want to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: do it, to really want to make a change. Um.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that kind of just
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: sit back and say, oh, well, um, they didn't do this,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this is easy or whatever. But that's because sometimes they're
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: not in the right from the mind to make a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: change that they want in their life. I've I'm a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: person believe that anybody can do whatever they want if
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: they put their mind to it. And none of that
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: sounds like a cliche, um, but it is really true.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: So when people really make up their minds now you
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna get this weight off of me,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: They'll do it. Here's the deal. I'm on the phone
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: with Morrise Chestnut. He's promoting the book. Very popular book.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It was number one on Amazon, the Amazon dot com
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and the diet genre. You know. The name of the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: book is The Cut, Lose up to ten piles in
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: ten days and sculpture your best body. And I hoppled
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: out earlier about the twenty rule. And let me explain
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to people what that is. Is even healthy for eight
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: percent of the time and having cheap meals twenty percent
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: of the time, and you can manage your weight and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: health following the rule. This rule here that's the diet
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that I'm on right now, and I'm loving it. Like
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I told her earlier, you know, can you tell us
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: some of the meals when it also what does that
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: cheap time actually mean? Okay, so we have a lot
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: of different there's a lot of different meals in the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: book to we're recipes and everything. Everyone can make the Okay.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So the one thing with the particular diet is you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: don't everyone you know, thinks that they have to just
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: kill themselves and eat and eat things that takes like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: cardboard for the rest of their life proper. It is
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: because you know, there's moderation. There's moderation with everything. So
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: when our book, if you eat healthy eight of the time,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and you can have to cheat meals, not cheap days,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: not cheap weekend, to cheat meals throughout because you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: we still wanna, you know, we want to do what
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: we do and still enjoy life, still enjoy the pleasures
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: extent and um that time. And let let me tell
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you what cheap meals are. Donuts at alas, fried chicken,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: ice cream. Again, I told y'all, I'm on this diet.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I've lost six pounds, I've eaten this and and and
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: just letting you know that I'm a guy telling you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I love to eat. I got on my phone Krispie
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: cree a Christoe cream app. Okay, so you're looking at
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the guy to eat stone nuts for real. And so
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: when I when I got when I saw this, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just say you another testimonial, because I'm a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: testimonial for this book The Cut, you know, lose up
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to ten pounds in ten days and SCULPTU your body.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: When I went shopping when I got the book, you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: when I read it, then I went through the recipes,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I went on in the shop where I thought I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: would normally eat, and so I came back, I went
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to the score called the sprouts with the sprouts and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: then uh, and I put everything in the refrigerator. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: over balked because you said a keyword moderation. And I
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: have actually probably three to four weeks of food in
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: my refrigerator based on what I bought based on you
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: telling me, Rashan, you've been eating too much. You can
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: still have a healthy, good life, lose weights, SCULPTU your body.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: If you follow the book, you're now saving me money. Yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that's another thing for people say everything in moderation. Also,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: it's about of portion sizes. You say, okay, well I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: may have a cheap meal and they eat a whole pizza.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You should do. You should moderate your portion sizes route
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the course of the diet, and pretty soon your stomach
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of shrinking. You won't want to, you know, sit down
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and and and gorge out on the whole pizza. At
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the point, something's gonna shrink and you're gonna want to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: eat instead of eating five pieces that used to get
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: your fool. Now it's gonna be two and a half
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: or maybe in just two. So that's a large part.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And it's gonna take Listen, we have never proclaimed that
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it's easy, because everything worth happening is gonna take some work,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: is gonna take some dedication. But if you just have
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to discipline like yourself and follow everything that's in the book,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you will lose weight. And I'll tell you one thing.

  Speaker 1: time in the studio. So what brings you to town? Well?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I was here. I'm here for speaker certification training with
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Dr Eric Thomas. He has a program called Game Changers,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: which basically as a certification that allows us to become
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the next e t s. So he's training us and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: him and a host of coaches UH given given to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: us and pouring into us so that we can become
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the best speakers that we can be. Okay, cool. So
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you in town and we found out about you, say, hey,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: won't you just stay in town a little bit longer
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and let's come see us live and stue you. But
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: when I when our relationship started, our first time I
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: gave it to you was LinkedIn Expert because I just
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: came on. I just started using LinkedIn because everybody knows
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: about Twitter, you know, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram. I have three
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and then but LinkedIn
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and May of last year I discovered it. I always
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: had my staff had had given me account, but I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: never used it, Why should I be using that? So
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you should be using it for three reasons, and I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: call it the three abilities Visibility, credibility, and profitability and start. So,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: if you're in business and even in yourself in terms
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: of radio show, if no one knows you exist, they
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: won't listen to you. If you're if you're looking to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: attract new clients, if they don't know you exist, they
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: can't pay you. And so the key for us as entrepreneurs,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: even as those who are job seekers, we need to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: be visible so that we can attract our ideal client
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that will allow us to operate in our gifts. So
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: LinkedIn allows us to do that. So it was it's
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: really interesting. So you're telling me LinkedIn is more of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a career account. It's well, it started out as a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: career building website, so it allowed for job seekers to
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: connect with recruiters, and then it just exploded into a
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: marketplace and so as a result, more and more people
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: start to use it to do business, to exchange ideas
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and to obtain employment. Great now, now when the person
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: who's a first time user, you know two LinkedIn, what
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: what what were the amateur steps? You say, Well, your lamp.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: What should they do well? The goal is to become
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: an all Star, So to have an all Star LinkedIn profile,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: how you get becoming The way to do that is
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you must it. A LinkedIn provides you with the steps
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to do that. But I always teach my clients that
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: you want to first make sure you have a professional
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: head shot because your head shot is like your calling card,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: because that's the difference in You're not gonna be posting
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: no no logos of your fraternity baby pictures or flowers
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: or your food or anything like that unless it's you.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: You got something, absolutely, but but you want to. But
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you want to it's your It's about you. Yeah, it's
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: about you. It's about your personal brand. And I think
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: everybody has to understand it. They are a brand. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: don't care if you are a doctor, if you're a lawyer,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: if you're Indian chief. You have a brand. And your
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: brand is what's going to attract people who need your
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: product or service. And so you're having your professional profile
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: picture is important. The second thing is having a headline
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that allows for you to attract your ideal client. Most
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: people will put host that radio station right and and
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: they think that that's okay, But if your goal is
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to attract a specific target, you want to make sure
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you put a value statement that allows for the people
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: you want to work with to see what you bring
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to the table, what result you bring in. So, if
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you look at my LinkedIn profile, you'll see LinkedIn locksmith
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and I talk about how I help solopreneurs, sales professionals,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and students to make more money with LinkedIn. So if
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: somebody looks at that, then I say, huh, I need
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to connect with this guy. And that's the first hook
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that you want to be able to put out there
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: for people to connect with you. Okay. With with that
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: being said, now you're LinkedIn guy, Okay, people come around.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I've been you know, I've grown from I think I'm
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: liking about he says, may you know, and I've noticed
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that I'm starting to get a certain type of people
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: that you know, people in the entertainment industry. So so
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: my so my brand people are associating me with that
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and they're joining me me to be connected. That's the key,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that's the key. But but to go further than that,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: because we don't want to just connect with everybody, right,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: we want to vet everyone because well, So what I
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: do is that that's the key word on social media.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: You just won't like people follows, People want likes and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: followers and and and as my good friend Josh Hatch says,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you can't take likes to the bank, right, you can't
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: take likes to the bank, But but you can convert
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: likes into currency. And so the key is to start
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: off on the right foot. So when someone sends you
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: an invitation to connect, you want to make sure you
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: find out why, why do you want to connect? Like
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: what's your purpose? Because if you don't have a mutual
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: benefit for us to be able to work together, then
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: what's the purpose of us connecting? Are you a lurker?
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Are you a learner? Or are you a leader? Like?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Which which one are you? So I think it's important
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: for people to understand the process of connecting with people,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: not just on LinkedIn, but on social media period because
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: if we're here to be social, are we here to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: help each other or you're just trying to look at
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: my stuff that I'm posting on social ride right, Right?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting because you know, whenever I see everyone's
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: where I see a little bathing stup picture just LinkedIn?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You know what's going on here, you know, because LinkedIn
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: has a certain maturity. Yeah, it does. It has a
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: culture and and and I was just talking about this
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: with a colleague, amand and that. You know, people post
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: things that may be inappropriate. The community of LinkedIn will
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: check that. Let's say, is this Facebook or is this LinkedIn?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: And people will either change it or deleted. But there's
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: a culture on LinkedIn because it was established for business
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and that's what sets linked In apart from which is
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a good transition, because why be connects? That's your business? Okay,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: what is that? So I'm a strategic consultant if anything.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I actually just this weekend had the realization that I'm
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a sales coach. I was running away from that what
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you mean when you said your sales. So I recognize
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: that there are people out there who hate cold calling
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and they struggle with selling me. And I love those people.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. I love those people because
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: what I want them to understand is that what people
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: think that they're doing when they're selling is not really
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: selling their marketing. If all I'm doing is talking to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you to try to get you to buy, I'm not selling.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I'm marketing. The sales process doesn't begin until the client
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: asked the question. So we can't if we don't get
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the person to get a word in, we hadn't started
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the sales process. So think about it. If you go
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to a fast food restaurant, you walk in the door,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: what's the first thing that they say to you. Welcome
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to our restaurant. Let me help you check for like
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: favorite favorite spot. That's my favorite, they asked you. They
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: start the process by asking you questions, right, and now
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: they already know that because you're in the restaurant, it's
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a ninety nine point nine percent chance that you're gonna
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: buy something. Why because you're in the building, they don't say, well,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: come on in. No, they've already done the marketing that
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: they needed to do. The sales process begins as soon
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: as you step into the restaurant. And I think that's
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: important what you're saying about selling, you know, because I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: always tell my staff. I tell people that because of
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: our media as a marketing branding company that I own,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: is that you know you you don't see you know
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: forward advertising. Every once in a while, you don't see IBM,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a Sony or Apple or Google. I even saw LinkedIn
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: commercial last night which was said, wow, I've never saw.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I've never seen the purpose of advertising is an increase
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: your visibility. So we talked about the three abilities, right,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So you want to increase your visibility, you want to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: increase your reach. One of the best ways that I
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: do it, and this is how I build my business,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: is through referral marketing. So as you build relationships with
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: people and you you build your brand, you impact people,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: people are gonna then open up their network to you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: as a referral. I'm on this show as a result
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of a referral, right. And so if you operate in
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a referral marketing mindset, you're really a magnet because you
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: start to attract the people that you want to work with.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: First's chasing after everybody just to get a paycheck. That's important,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's extremely important. And then so for my sales perspective,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: you recognize that I'm never least selling. I'm doing three things.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I'm communicating, I'm leveraging my leadership skills, and I'm building relationships.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And so if I understand how to do those three
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: things very well, then selling is is a piece of
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: cake because I'm giving people what they want, So it
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: starts with identifying what people want through communication. If I
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: ask you the right questions with Sean and you say,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you tell me what you want and I can help
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you get what you want, we now get to go
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to step two. I start showing my leadership skills. So
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: what's leadership. It's being accountable, is being on time, is
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: following through and what you say you're gonna do. That
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: builds trust. And then the networking part comes where we
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: build relationships where if I'm able to impact you, then
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you're gonna promote me to your network without me even
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: asking you to do so. Like like I'm an All
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Star and LinkedIn, I come to all the stars. Uh
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: people who follow me, connect with me, connect with me.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Now when I post, you know it all tell me
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: what city is most popular with my view, which I
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: think it's really cool. And it also tell you just
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: anybody who's not familiar with LinkedIn. That's why he's saying
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: from a career or business standpoint, you have to be
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: associated with it because you find out like a lot
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: of times I see that our Heart radio, or I
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: see I see uh NBC, I see Walmart, I'll see
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: all these people who are tied to these different businesses
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: who are looking at my brain, which excites me because
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: guess what I want endorsement, I won't sponsorship. So I
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: want that type of visibility and the key to that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: So if you find that people are looking at your
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: profile they wanted to connect, you want to communicate with them.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: You want to ask them what prompted you to follow
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: my page? I've never done that, and that, and that's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that's going to be clutched for you. So if your
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: goal is to get sponsorships, if you're going to get advertisers,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: if these people are looking at you, they're actually waiting
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: for you to have a conversation with them their window shopping. Okay,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and so what what what do you do when somebody
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that walks into a boutique shop? You say, how can
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I help you? You don't just you don't. Just really
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: different from from regular social media because now you're saying, okay,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: just going through the whole world that we're talking about
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: in LinkedIn. So because I'm not trying to get I'm
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: not trying to give a free lesson, why be connect
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: on the air? Okay, you got to go and contact
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: this gentleman. He's very talented. The third time on my
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: show Money Making Conversations talking to Robert T. Young Blood
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: why be connects one of the most talented individuals in
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the in the in the game when it comes to LinkedIn,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: which I think is that the reason that this show
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: is about the entrepreneurship, that's about careers, and that's I
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: feel it's important that I have this relationship with you.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: When you come on, you're telling people how they can
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: address themselves. This is the new uh, you know, won't
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: ask it's digital. It's digital. So everything is digital now.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I was just talking to another colleague just yesterday. He said,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the people in the financial services arena, if they're not digital,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: they're getting left behind. You're trying to do things the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: old way. You're gonna get left behind. And so now
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: you talk about dealing with millennials, and then even with
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: gen Z coming up, they're digital. You can't expect to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: do any business with them unless you're Unless you're digital,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Unless you have a digital footprint or digital fingerprint, people
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: will google you. Now, Rashan, if I say, well, listen,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to ra Sean McDonald said, who's that
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: They're gonna google you to check your and This is
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the other ability, your credibility, right, My credibility is not
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: what you say about yourself, is what other people say
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: about you. Wow. And so when if someone speaks holly
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: of you, if they celebrate you and you have results,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: then people automatically going to start to build that trust
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: factor because they say, well, live Joe believes in in
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Rob young Blood. If Rashan believes in Rob young Blood,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I might need to get ro Rob young Blood on
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: my show. You know, it's really cool because you know
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I followed my relationship with you and and like because
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: you post your appearances on my show and the reaction
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: this time, what's probably the biggest ever, people liking and
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: viewing and all. I was like to really let me
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: know that my brand is growing, but also the direction
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: your career and people are respecting what you're stepping into.
• 38:00

• 40:35
  Speaker 1: to money Making Conversation. A pleasure to be here, Robert T.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Y B. Young Blood. Now we were talking about cold calling,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: were talking about a lot of things that Rashan McDonald
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: cannot do because I'm because it almost feels like it's
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: almost you know, putting yourself out there, you know, to strangers,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: strangers and so. But but but that's what marketing is.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Marketing is marketing. Two people are talking to people that
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: you don't even know. That's right, that's right, and that's
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: what you're breaking down from your business. It's it's so
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: so social media is beautiful because it's the new cold call, right,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: But it's not cold because people will warm up to
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you based on their common likes, common interest. Right. So
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: if you like baking and I joined a group and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: we're in the same group, it's not cold anymore because
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: we have a common bond. But if you just pick
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: up the phone and call somebody out the Yellow Pages,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: you don't know if you're interrupting them. They could be
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: painting their house, they could be changing their kids dip.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: So so you take a risk when you make a
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: cold call. Now, there's some people out there that do
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: it very very well. I have a sales coach that
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I work with. His name is Joe Picci. He's phenomenal
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: on on the on the sales call. But for those
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: who don't, it's important to come in with the relationships
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: so you know what their needs, wants and desires are
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: so you can find a way to help them get
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: what they want. Which is amazingly So when you get
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: a call from a person like me, say, hey, Robert,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I want to I've been on Chan Joe twice. Why
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: is it important to come on a show like mine. Well,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, it's it's it's the two abilities
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: was three three abilities. So we talked about visibility, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: we talked about credibility, and so what this does you
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: have suing this credibility in terms of the things that
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: you've done. So I would be you know, it would
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: be foolish for me to not to take up on
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: that that opportunity, being that I'm a growing entrepreneur, I'm
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: an emerging entrepreneur. I'm looking to increase my visibility and
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I want to be able to attract new clients. So
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I think this is a wise move to be able
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: to share information that I typically share with people in
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: my home home city of Richmond, Virginia and around the
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: country when I work with clients. This just helps me
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to level up to another opportunity. Look you you smooth too.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: What about this the word level up? That was key
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: because we have a tour? Did you're putting together to
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: level up tour? Level up LinkedIn tour? So essentially, I,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: you know, now, I don't work for LinkedIn now if
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: they if they're listening now, I wouldn't on a sponsorship
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: or be able to you know, work with them and
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: help out because I do recognize that LinkedIn as a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: whole has over five hundred thousand uh members, right. That
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: was five and a million users by the way, get
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: that number of right, But the key fact is that
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: only a third, less than two hundred million are active.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: They're talking about around the world now, right, So my
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I'm on a mission to activate one million LinkedIn users
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: by one Okay, that's your mission, that's my mission right
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: as it pertains to the level of LinkedIn tour. And
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: so what what I'm doing is I'm traveling from city
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: to city working with students, solopreneurs, and sales professionals to
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: teach them how to leverage LinkedIn to attract their ideal opportunity,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: whether it be a client, whether it be mentors for students,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: like I did some work at Old Dominion University, and
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I'm training students there because what I recognize is that
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: if you're in the right environment, you put yourself in
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: the best position to attract opportunities. And so so I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: just want to show folks how to do that. And
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and people love Instagram, they love Facebook, they love Twitter,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: but there's just certain things you cannot do on those
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: platforms that you can do on LinkedIn. That's true. I was.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I was in l A Saturday. You know, a good
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: friend of mine, Sara Finni. I finally convinced her to
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: you know, she's one of the top creative and the
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: sitcom and executive ducers in Hollywood, and said you should
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: be on LinkedIn. She said, okay, rid shout out finally
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: on LinkedIn, and she did because she connected with me,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: and because of the fact that this is, like you said,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: this is just another way of showcasing your brand. Your
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: singer and actor an engineer. It's it's just it's just
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: like it is the new employment section, but it's really slick,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: it's really cool. Allows you to talk about who you are,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: allows you to put recommendations. That's right. Recommendations are critical.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: So if you and that's where credibility comes in the game.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: So if I made an impact on you, if I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: made an impact on your show, I'll reach out and say,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: ra Sean, based on the impact that I've made on you,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: would you be willing to provide a recommendation of testimonial
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: to highlight the impact that I've made on you. And
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: if the trust and relationship is there and it's mutual,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: you'll do that. What happens is when people read your
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: profile and you look at the testimonials, they're gonna be
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: blown away because I'm not saying how great I am.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about how sweet I am. It's the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: people that I'm helping that's saying that, right, And so
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: if they if you have any level of credibility as
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: an individual, as a professional, you then can leverage that
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: credibility to grow and move on to another sector or
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to another client, which is really important important. So so
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: when you say the level up linked in tools. Now,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: is this something that one can contact you or via
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: email or how that? Absolutely? So they can come to
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: my website why be connects dot com and they can
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: reach out to me. So essentially, I'm looking at a
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: couple of cities now I'd love to, you know, like
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: looking at l A and doing this during the summer.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I told the folks in Chicago, don't contact me now,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to come up there now, but to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: come out there. Yeah there so. But but but what
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm doing my own like thing when
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I'm booking my events. And then if individuals, whether it
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: be small businesses or colleges, they want me to come
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: out and teach their teams how to leverage LinkedIn, then
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: we add those cities on to the Now you throw
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the name out a couple of times. Soeurs, sir. So
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: most people know what an entrepreneur is. There's a person
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: who turns they may not. They may not, so I'll
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: just explain. So entrepreneurs someone who turns nothing into something.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: So it could be an idea. They may say, well, listen,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I want to own my own radio show one day.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Well that idea is it starts out as nothing and
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: then when it becomes manifest, then it's tangible. Right. Well,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: the solopreneurs an individuals that's in business for themselves by themselves.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: So I take my good friend martiall Fox, he's a
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: graphic designer. Right when he started out, he was a solopreneurs,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: he was a freelancer, so it's another term for freelancer, right,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: So he's in business for himself and busines is by himself.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: He's now the president of one toy design studio, so
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: he now owns part of a company that he has
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: a team, and now he's moved from being a solopreneurs
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to an entrepreneur, which is is way more solopreneurs. It's
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: a tremendous amount. And here's the reality. Most solopreneurs will
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: likely give up on what they do because they see
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: that it's too difficult. They don't have a network, they're
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: doing everything by themselves. They're not branching out. And so
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I want to help those people because solopreneurs have to
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: do two things. They have to serve in terms of
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: their craft and they have to sell. But which one
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: do you think most would rather do? They've had to serve.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: So my goal is to come in and help that.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Solopreneurs says, Listen, I struggle with selling. I don't know
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: how to get clients. I'm great at what what I do,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: but how do I how do I get more clients
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and I can come in in the trenches with them
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: and help them to make that happen. Before you go,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about the high school to HBCU initiatives. Sir,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: what is that? So? I just this is different? Well,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: this is this is tied to y b Uh, it's not.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: It's not directly connected to y BE connects. But so
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a graduate of Virginia U University, one
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of the top HBCUs in Virginia sixty five. So I
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: had to get a little plug to my view panthers.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: But um, I've received a message from a classmate who
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to get these pennants, you know, the HBC or
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: college pennants, because there were none of h b c
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: U s on this wall. And so when she contacted me,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: she said, why b could you help me get a
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: VU pennant? I said, sure, I'll make sure I do that.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit hit me and said, you need to
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: do that for every high school in America. So I
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: posted a message on social media and I said, if
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: you're an alum of an HBCU posted school in the
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: year you graduated, and I literally that literally went viral,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, I'm going to start
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: another I wouldn't call it a tour, but it's an
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: initiative to promote h b c U s in every
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: high school in America. And the way that I gonna
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: do that, it's not just me. I'm going to leverage
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: other HBCU alums who are already probably doing the same thing,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: and let's come together so we can make a major
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: impact in terms of promoting h b c U s
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: in our school. Well, we're gonna we go. We're gonna
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: be together more because the goal of you know, money
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: making conversation is the millennial voice for eighteen thirty four
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: and hbc U school is a major focus of mine,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: is to be in these schools to really educate the
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: young people early on, because this is a new era,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: is you know, because sometimes you listen to your parents,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: they're talking to old school. They don't know, they're not
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: they're not understanding that kids don't care about that big
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: screen TV on their own. They don't care about that.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: They will worry about if I got a sister. I
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: got a sister. I got a daughter who's in college,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: so I looked the way to look at the way
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: she talks and communicates. So I felt there was a need.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: So the direction you're going, we're gonna maintain partnerships and
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: any banners you need for me to solicit post on
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: my social media for money making conversations, please let me know.
• 49:57

• 52:03
  Speaker 1: really really good. That's good. Thanks for having me on again. Absolutely,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: before we get to your new book, I gotta I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you something, man, because last time I had
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: you on the show and the fall we're talking about
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Blast to Sugar Out. You know, I was a fan
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: of that book and we were laughing about my bad
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: eating habits. He reached and You Are Food, and that
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: instantly became a New York Times bestseller. Now, what I
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you is it's very emotional for me because
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: of the fact that my mom is now on your
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: diet Blast to Sugar Out. WHOA, yes, sir, that's I
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: love that. Yes sir, yes, sir. And I'm gonna just
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: tell you. You know, my mom's overweight. You know, she
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: has all the issues that when you're over eighty, all
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: the issues. You know, she has to have a physical
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: trainer and uh. And so I just finally went out
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: to God with my sisters and brothers. We we gotta
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: get a plan together here, I said, uh. And they said,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: and we you know, we're paying all the money, you know,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: the cooks and everybody to take care of her. But
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: there was no plan. And your book, Blast the Sugar
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Out gave me a plan now. And it was just
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: sitting in my library and I and I went to
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: my mom and I would to sat down when everybody
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: said look and not shoulder. I walked through the book.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I said, this is the book. It's a five week plan. Mom,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: just just give me five weeks with this. Give me
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: five weeks, I said, I feel would change your life.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I said, look at you can have, you can have
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: you know, smoothies and everything. And I said, just just
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: do this. And LETNA tell you something. Because it reduced
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: bad sugar from your diet, you can lose weight from
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: your diet and you can lower your blood sugar level,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: which is important and it cut your cravings. I got
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: she lives in Atlanta. She lives I lived in Atlanta.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: She lives in Houston, and my sister was over there.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: She's been on the diet for a week and said,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: my mom looked outstanding. Dude, Wow, it's amazing how making
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: some smart because it doesn't. The book doesn't ask you
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: to make big changes and asked you to make some
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: small changes in different but it's amazing. I tell you
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: all the time how small changes yield big differences, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: it's amazing what it can do for you. I mean,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: it's not overly complicated, but it's also about perseverance. Right,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: you have to believe in the program. Like anything in life,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: you know, entrepreneurship, you gotta believe that your idea, that
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: your business plan, that your model is going to work.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: If you don't believe in it to start, it's not
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: gonna work, it's not gonna happen. And the same thing
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: with weight loss and dieting and becoming healthy. You have
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: to believe that the steps you're taking, whether they be
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: it's small or large, are going to be productive. At
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you have that belief.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Then the rest is all about execution. And that's important
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: because you know, I was confused. I was a confused
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: guy trying to figure out how I can make my
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: mom live longer. And then here was the information that
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: was very easy to read. And we're going to talk
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: about your new book in a minute, but I just
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to just get that out to your man and
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: let you know that, and also just give more credibility
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: to our relationship, and just let me just say that
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate you telling me that because my mother
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: is still alive. I'm very blessed that she's still alive.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people, you know, you're on Facebook
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: all day and you care about people losing their parents,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: especially as we get older, and uh, it just makes
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: me think how much, how how much, how many people
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: would love to have their parents around for even another day,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: forget about a year or ten years, even just another day.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: And so I'm hoping that my books will get people
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: to understand that they can improve the quality of their life,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: they can improve the longevity of their life, and they
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: can increase the amount of time that we spend together.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: No one's gonna lift forever, so I'm not saying that,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: but you do want to live as long as you
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: possibly can and the best healthy possibly can to enjoy
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: those around you. And I'm glad that you and your
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters have sat down and said, we're going
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: to do an intervention on our mother, because your mother
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: is most important. Oh yeah, it's so funny when when
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: we uh one day for breakfast, mom just getting the
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: smooth and she went, is it? Yeah, Mom, we've got
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: more food coming, but right now, you know them grits,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: And now we're just gonna do it a smooth And
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: see once we got bad that Tuesday hump, she's been
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: flying ever since. Man. And I'm happy with this is
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And but let's move on to the
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: next book, man, because you'd be putting out a book
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: a year. It's called The Clean twenty. It's coming out,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: uh St Martin's Press. Tell us about the Clean twenty,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: because obviously, if I'm a fan of Blast to figure out,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to be a fan of the
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Clean twenty, Well, let me talk about the Clean twenty
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: really quickly. The Clean twenty is based on twenty foods
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: for twenty days total transformation the idea is very simple.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: For twenty days, you are going to eat as clean
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: as you possibly can. Once again, you're not going to
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: eat perfectly, because I never asked you my plans to
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: be perfect. No one's perfect. I'm not perfect. But what
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: I am asking you is to dramatically reduce the processed
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: foods that litter our shelves and grocery stores, that are
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: all over our cabinets and our refrigerators. If you reduce
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: some of these processed foods, these foods are all these
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: artificial chemicals, names of which most people canny and pronounced
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: or even understand what they do. If you can reduce
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: that and get down to clean eating, the dramatic change
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: in your energy levels, in your skin appearance, and your
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: gastro intestinal track, your g I system, and what you
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: see on the scale is dramatic. We've had people do
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: the Clean twenty already in advance of the book's release,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: and they've dropped between twen and twelve pounds in just
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: twenty days. And Rashan, this is not a diet per se.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: This isn't one of those things where I'm pounding your
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: calories on. Restricting your has nothing to do with calories.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: This is all about eating proper portions and eating clean foods,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: and that change alone is what's making people lose all
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the weight. In fact, we just had Jack K Harry,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: you know Jack K the Act. She was on Rachel
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Ray with me last week. She's doing the Clean twenty
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: and then in April we're gonna do her big reveal.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: But the idea is that all of us can do it.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: And we set up a group on Facebook that is
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: following the Clean twenty early, getting a sneak peak. So
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: if you're interested and joining us and getting a book
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: early and starting, please go to our website. Our website
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: is Challenge and Transform dot com or email me the
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Clean twenty that's to zero the Clean twenty at gmail
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: dot com. Because you know me, I'm gonna support you,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: So give me that banner. And you know I've posted
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: on my social media because it's about relationships and something
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I believe in and I believe in you, my friend,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: and America believes in you. But like I said earlier,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: you know, five of his fourteen books have been number
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: one New York Times bestseller. And we're gonna work and
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: we're gonna work on make on this six, really si
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: six out of fifty. I'm I'm putting it in the
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: atmosphere for your doc. I'll take the energy. Man. You
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: gotta send the energy up in the universe and it
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: comes back to you because it's important because of the
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: fact that you know, like I said, I had to
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: have a testimony about my personal relationship, and you mentioned
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: something about just not about counting calories, but how important
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: is exercise and all that. Well, you know, it's interesting,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I always say to people, if someone said
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: to me, as a physician, I can only write one
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: prescription for better health, what would it be? That prescription
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: would be exercise? Because exercise impacts almost every organ system
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: in the body. And when we say exercise, Rashaan, we're
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: not saying that you have to go to the gym
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: for an hour and a half, you know, falling down
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: and did no. No, We're talking about consistent, moderate to
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: vigorous exercise. I believe you did it for thirty thirty
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: five minutes, three to five days a week. For most
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: of us, that is absolutely enough. And in fact, I've
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: created DVDs on my website. One's called The Shred twenty
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: seven Burn. The other is called the positive Air shred
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Worker I did with the gospel artists and pastor Charles Jenkins,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: who's a big time award winner. So if you go
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: to our website at shred Life s h R E
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: D life dot com, you can see the videos in
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the trailer. But listen, I'm not the only one with
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: good videos. I mean, you want to look for exercise
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: programs that do hit high intensity interval training. Hi, I
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: t google it and look at some of those programs
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: out there and you'll benefit. Yeah, the thing you're just
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: telling everybody is that the Clean twenty plan twenty foods,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: twenty days total transformation. That's what you're just trying to
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: get into everybody's head about the Clean twenty Absolutely no
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. And you gotta believe that. And listen,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: it's twenty days. I told someone, anyone can do anything
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: for twenty days. It's not even a month. It's less
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: than a month to really hit the reset button. It's
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: about hitting the reset button and getting yourself more aligned
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: with eating more natural fruits. That doesn't mean it's not
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be tasty, and by the way, you won't be hungry.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: There are tons of foods. There's seafood, there's poultry, there's turkey,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: there's dairy, there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables, cheese.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: So people say, well, I don't understand. I've never been
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: on the diet where I can have all this stuff.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: This isn't a diet. This is a food plan to
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: help you be able to eat better and feel better.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: But it's more like a lifestyle. And that's why people
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: I have you on my show because if you're not healthy,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: not eating right, but you can't run your business, you
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: can't go to work, you're not an effective employee because
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: because guess what, you're causing us with your medical plans
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: and all this. So getting it done right, it's about entrepreneurship,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: it's about lifestyle. That's why I like about your plans
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: because you shoten them and you make them concise, you
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: make them easy to read, and it really really benefits
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: the masses. A rich man's best friend, believe it or not,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: it's not a stockbroker, it's his health. If you don't
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: have your health, if you're not thinking clearly, if you're
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: not feeling well, if you're not able to get up
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: and move around, you have nothing. All the riches and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: the opportunities don't matter because you can't capitalize on them.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: And that's why I say to people, this just isn't
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: about how you look. This is also about how you
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: can function. Are you thinking well? Are you able to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: go to meetings? Are you able to get in and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: out of planes and cars and and and and work late?
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: You know, I just basic funk. You know. We don't
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: think about this, but just basic functioning. It's so important
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: to how productive we are as business people and as consumers. Well,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: my friend, we're gonna be back with more of dr

• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: here's the funny card. Let's talk about the Nubian book
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Club that you guys are were partnered on. So let's
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: give us a background on that. And I'm gonna talking
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: you how I just invaded dr Ian Smith life with it. Well,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I at the Newbian book Club and Sentia
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: came along with me because I realized Rashan and so
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: many African American authors do not get the platform, do
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: not get the support, do not get the encouragement in
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: order to put their work out there. And by the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: same token, publishers, main publishers in the industry for a
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: long time, I feel have largely ignored black readers. And
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: so I, INCENTI you we want to encourage not only
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: more African Americans to become writers. And this our group
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: is for people authors of colors. So it's not just
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: African Americans as the only ASTRA, but we want to
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: encourage more of people of color to become writers, but
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: also to become more readers to read more in support
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: our authors. So on Facebook we started this book club.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: It's now the biggest online book club for people of color.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: It's called the Nubian Book Nook. So please join us
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. We also have a website Nubian book nook
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: dot com. Our first our selection was a sister named
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Bernice L. McFadden and her book is called The Book
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: of Harlan, based on African Americans during Nazi Germany. Patient
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: So we always talk about you know, jew the Holocaust
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: and Jews, but we also we never talked about how
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: it affective African Americans. So this book is tremendous. Please
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: join us. And Centia, also with her brand, is also
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: a big fan of reading. She and I met many
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: years ago, by the way, and share a love of
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: reading a long time ago in New York City. And
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: so we're just happy to be able to produce this
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: platform not just for readers but also for our writers.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Let me just say that, you know, he's the die king.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, He's a die Now he's focused.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Now I said, you got eyewear, you got candles, you
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: got called, you got a foundation. Why is it important?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Why is it important to partner up with him on
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: this Nubian book book club? Well, like way back, we
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: have a lot of his transitors. Is a matter of fight.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: His first book, The Blackbird Papers Today we wrote we
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: were you know, great plants, and you know I supported
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: him then. I am a huge reader. You know, my
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: schedules a little crazy now. So it's one of my
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: favorite things to do. And you know, a lot of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people approached me with books all the time,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: like new writers. I'm just trying to get the products
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: out there. Everywhere I go, someone's giving me a book
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: to read. Actually, I have probably about three books in
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: the year just that we spend probably like the last
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: four years where you know, we have all this talent
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: out there, but they just don't really have a real
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: platform to get exposure. And I'm in a position because
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: of my platform on the Housewives and all the things
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: that I'm doing. You know, for me, if I say
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I everydn't say hey, it's great, it's a great book,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: and I make it a part of our book club,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: then they at least have a chance of getting some recognition.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: So I think it's amazing. Reading is very important. You
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people people just don't read like
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: they used to. And uh again, I just think it's
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: it's important to read. Now we're not in the book club,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: so doc, what happens? Okay, you you chose this book,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: So what happens? How does this process work? I'm just
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: trying to wrap my head around and watch the viewers
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: on Facebook the on podcast. So we have a we
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: we we feature one book every month. We have of
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: our members, they make suggestions, they email us, so if
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: anyone's listening who wants to be part of it, email
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: me Newbian book nook and okay at gmail dot com.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: We have a selection committee and we choose one feature
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: a month and then midway through the month, we have
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: an open line discussion within our Facebook group about the
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: book and then we talked to the aufte. So the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: author has agreed to do an interview, so we post
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: h the author's interview. And we also have a section
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: of hot reads, so we have a different list Hot
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: reads for romance, Hot Reads for mystery, Hot Reads for
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: science fiction. So we also are making recommendations for other
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: books that may not be the featured book, but you
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: may be interested in other books too, And so that's
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: how we do it. And cynthing and I really believe
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: that was all the things that we have going on.
• 1:09:47

  Speaker 1: Philips Arena and Philip Philip Arena was in Phillips people.
• 1:16:22

  Speaker 1: from me? Listen? Unfortunately I was on stage. There was
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: a heart attack. Really, yes, and this is the sixth

  Speaker 1: time this has happened to me in your career. Yes,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: and uh and I'm glad that people came to the show.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: And when the guy had a heart attack, I was
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: on a bit called um a church bit called left
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: the Church all here man, So the whole audience was
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: praying for him at the same time. And I hope
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: he's okay. I don't know yet, okay, because I gotta
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: watch you because you go serious saventtange and now you
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: just went serious and then I don't know if my
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: audience knew that. Well, I hope I didn't kill that's all.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: But whatever, this guy's okay, God bless him. But we
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: have a good time. We laughed, and it's so important.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: I was on the show with Samore, one of the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: greatest comedians. Earthquake was there, My man Don d. C.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: Curry was there, my man um uh As Jake was there.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Just awesome, man, We just had so much, so much fun.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Bruce Bruce was there. Oh my god, that's why we
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: were sold out. And that's great man. So you know
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: when I was going through your bio, you know I
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: could have picked a lot of things. Your career is incredible.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to be a part of watching it
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: on TV and experience and as a friend. Six years old, Yes, sir,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: what why do you say it's six years old? You
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: knew you wanted to be a comedian because I would
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: watch Telebion and that was a man named Red Skelton
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: and all of the characters that he did. There was
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: a guy named Milton Burrow that was basically basically, I'd
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: like to give my career to Red Button, Red Fox,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Red Skelton, Pinky Lead. Those are all people of color.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: So I like, that's that's supposed to be a joke.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: We kind of chuckle or something if I do something
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: no money, but I would do those jokes. Would watch
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Tonight Show and I was watching all these coming. Let's
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: also bringing Red Fox in the party records, Jacky Moms,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: maybe Judge Pick, meet Markham. Those are very important. Sometimes
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: we don't talk about those, but we will. Listening to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: the party records. I'm gonna take them back to school
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: and do those jokes and everybody would be happy. So
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: I found out at an early age when i'm when
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: I see happy people, it makes me happier. And to
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: this day, laughter is the greatest medicine in the world.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: You know, when when he was on the show This Something,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: when you came on, you know, you was really it's
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: almost like you was kind of like mad at how
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: people don't give themselves a shot of being successful. You know,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: it seems like you because you're you're a natural entrepreneur
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: and that means that. But but you said, Richard, and
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: you just don't understand why people don't believe in themselves more.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: Why is that? I don't know. I think it's it
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: depends on where you grew up. It could be your
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: rental guidance, that could be your neighborhood, could be your peers.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, people you grew up with are
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: still in the same predicament they were in when you're
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: left trying to do better, and you can be better.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: I said, let's create a great day. Go out there
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: and work on a day. Start your day every day positive.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I gotta move hey, And I probably said because I'm religious.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: A lot of people say I'm gonna wait on the Lord.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait on the Lord. Well, if you sit
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: on the couch and wait on the Lord, you know what,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: He'll sit right there next to you and nothing will
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: be done. You've got to get up and make a step,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: and then over to say you make one step, he'll
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: make too. You got to plan, you got to be
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: if you want to make it. I'm not gonna just
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: say everybody can be successful, but everybody can take it.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Making for making effort, Yes, sir, thank you so much.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Making effort, because that's what I'm all geared about. That's
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: why I created this show because I always felt that
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to cut out some excuses by making conversations
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: with information. Because people are making an excuse. He said,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: what can we go? Who can we talk to? Who committed?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: This is a national mentorship because I can't mentor individual
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: because I know a lot of people. You said, would
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: you mentor me? Mr Wallace? Dr Wallace, I'm working, I'm busy.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: I got to think. You know what to say about
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: rich people? What did they do? They work? Which people work?
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: So when you say the people have excuses, we call
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: those debut people. I wouldn't do this, but let's let's
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: create this program. But and I don't have enough money.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: But we'll find it somewhere right, right, and so so
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: that's what I took away from that with you was like, Rashaan,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to be on your show. I'm happy to
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: tell people that they can win. You can win. I
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: think it started with me, maybe you back in the
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: there's been a culture change in the last thirty years.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: When we were kids and we stayed at at homes
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: with our parents, the we had work ethics, had to work.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: We knew at eighteen you had to get a job
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: or what get out of the house fast mention. If
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: he was male, he was male. No, definitely, if you
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: were you to go, you might be dad as girl,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: he'll keep Peo for a while, but a guy, you
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: got to go. And I have never growing up here
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta, I think all my friends so we did.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: We started working at an early age. When I say working,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: it's like we needed money. We would do simple things
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: like soda bottles, pepsi bottles, coke bottles. We find empty
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: coke bottles. When I was a kid, as Solda on
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: the cost. We called a drink down here, enjoyed a
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: drink right, only costs five cents. You take the empty
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: bottle back, they give you two pennies. So what we
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: do we collect bottles? What's what's that a quarter? Even
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: if we made a quarter, because a back of attendships
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: is only a nickel back, then we make money somehow.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Grab I would cut grab newspaper boy, a grocery store,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: walk grocers off to the car for the people. So
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: many different ways to make money. Sell. We sold rags,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: old rags in the household, shirts, made anything to make
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: many coat hangers. Here's a cool thing about when I
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: talked to someone with a career like yours, because I
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: look at you as a businessman, and because they're set
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: back in their games, and sometimes you'll set backs are
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: in public and so and so when I say that
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: might be a show, he's a movie and doesn't do well.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Or I love this show you're starting it made get canceled.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: How does how do you deal with the setbacks knowing
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: that it's in public. Well, that's a friend I think
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: his name is. I know his name is Willy Jolly.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: A second, he's getting a setback, is getting ready for
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: set up, pick up or something like that. But every
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: time you oh, you learned something. So when you learn
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: you continue know not to do that again, but you
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: keep going up the mountain. I like to teach people
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: you don't have to get to the top of the mountain.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: Just be on your way up the mountain. Keep going up,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: keep going up. Like I have the greatest career. I'm
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: the most successful person you ever made, you ever met.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: It's not how much money you make, That's how you
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: enjoy your life when you're living. I made enough money
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: to do what I want to do and be what
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: I want to be, go where I want to go.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: I got houses, property. I'm not my best friend of
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Jerry and even want a lot see, but I know
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: God has blessed men to be um like my best
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: friend of Jerry. Sign film the richest Man in comedy.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: We're having a conversation one day, Jerry and uh Anderson
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Cooper is it to be rich or better to be famous?
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: And I just thought, you know what, I'm right in
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: the middle. I'm better off than both of you. I
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: got nough money to do what I wanta do, good
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: where I want to go, whatever. But I can go pee.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: They can't people buy fruit, right, they can't go pee
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: because why every time they walk out of the house,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: quick click papa. So enough people know me to set
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: this for my little ego. When I'm walking on the street,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: like I said, i still go on stage and do
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: jokes and I'm still having fun. I'm living the dream man.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: Like you won't believe you can actually walk away from
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: your fans. No, I can't do that. And I tell
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: you what, when I go to the show, I love
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: to have fun because I know these people pay my rent, okay,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: And like I said, when I see happy people, that
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: makes me happier. I just love even when I go
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: to church, you know. And I started back, all right, Yeah,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: I had church in this in the stadium last night
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: and that was one of if I just love church.
• 1:23:56

• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: Forty one years I've been doing this and it's been one.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: I met him in New York City when I was
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: up there in eight I moved to New York City
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: and I was catching rising star. Was just young black comedian.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody was up there, sign fail was up there, everybody
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: was gonna stage John stood. Everybody was a dentist, Leary.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: We were all trying to make but he he was
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: a star back then. He was a star. And uh,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: and he walked in and he uh came out. Stay
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: still try to get on stage. You know, he on stage,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: you know because the White clubs one of the biggest,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: the biggest White club ever. And you catch your start
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: out on stage, you knew somebody and you will somebody exactly.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: He was on stage a lot and Sheridan an Fani
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: and comedian the only two African Americans. And then uh,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: they were on stage on the regular basis. And he
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: saw me at the bar and I was just because
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: I couldn't get in. I was just trying to get in,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: get in, get in the dough, and he said, what's
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: your name, young man? I said, Rajan mcdonalfalinus texts. He said,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: hanging there, You're gonna be funny. You're gonna be funny.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: And it was just he just issued that motivation to
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: me without even knowing me. That's what I'm just saying,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: is that you're the type of person that lets everybody
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: know there's an opportunity to be successful. Just stop stop
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: stopping yourself exactly, and and don't be a hater. You
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: know so many people always jumping on other people because
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: they're successful. Who are they successful? I'm funnier than that person.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: Not always about who's the funniest. That is how you
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: carry yourself. And that's what I teach people also in
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: businesses and other people in sales. There's somebody I think
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: everybody's in sales. That's the world. I come from marketing,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: and so whatever you do, you're in sales. Even when
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: I talk to school teachers, you're in sales. You gotta
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: sell this for him to the kids. You've got to
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: sell whatever you do, and it's all about you. When
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: you present yourself the package, greet people with a smile,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: right because there's only reason that somebody should buy PEPs
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: that then cope. But the person that sells it to
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: them with that personal handshake. We don't have that anymore.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: We're texting now, and I told my managed to stop
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: texting people, call them and talk to him personal. Let's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: go visit people when there's nothing better than checking somebody's
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: hand talking to you people. If we were on the telephone,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: I'm looking you straight in the eye right now. It's
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: a whole different personic perspective that we have here talking
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: to me, and then I'm not gonna hear you. I'm
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: just gonna hear that. I'm just letting you know. Don't
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: get too close. I will buck you up. I do business.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: Let me just tell you I did that talk about
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: the bar in to set up another story about who
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: this man is in eighteen ninety he knows wo I
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: My lawn collapsed, right, lan collapsed, so it's calling normal
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: thorax and they turned and I was in hospital for
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: thirty days. I'm sitting there. You know you're in the
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: hospital with thirty days. There's a lot of people tell
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: people that don't take sick days. I got a friend
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: and accumulated over one of the sick days. I told
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: you all you need thse chances are if you're in
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: the hospital over twenty days, you're gonna die. You were
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm been changing. My career was taken off. It
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: was taking off. I mean I was doing all the
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: shows and you're in the hospital for thirty days. People
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: forget about you. Phone call rings Hello, did George Wallace?
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: And then right now going how did he give a number?
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: Get out that bad, Get out that bad. People waiting
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: on you on you go to work, Gotta go to work.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: And that moved me so much because when you're in
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: hospital for thirty days, I'm gonna just tell you just
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: the real statement to say this. You watch people die
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: because you can't be in hospital, because that's what hospital.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: Either gonna leave or you're gonna die. When you're there
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: for thirty days, you watch people die because you create relationships.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: You go by rule because you didn't got nobody to
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: talk to your talking to the nurses. You know, you
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: go to the rooms, you start meeting people. And for
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: him to just tell me that get out people don't
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: get up, somebody's waiting on you that was motivation that
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: labeled me to be able to say, if he wants
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: me to do something, did I'm gonna do it. But
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: I knew you would do it when I met you.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: And that's why I knew you would do it. We're
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: both doers. That's why I had to call you in
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: the hospital because that's my friend. Even though you said
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: it was a collapse line. I punched him in the chest.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: One man knocked. You don't tell people about that. That's
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: the real reason they left. And right today, I'm gonna
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: set him down the grade. Right now, I'm gonna send
