• 2:30
  Speaker 1: somebody's success as successful as you are. Wow, that's awesome, right,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's all relative. It is all relative.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: That's how I think, you know, really, glory to God
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and thank God I have the capability right well, you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: got it. You know. The thing about it is that,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been in entertainment for a while, uh,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know, started doing stand up and officially record eighty
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: six and became a television sitcom writer and a producer
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and managing talent. And along the way, I've seen, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the whole dance explosion. I remember Steve already uh uh
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: participated in a dance movie with back in two thousand one,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know. And and so just to see the evolution
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: where where where does dance play? How to dance became
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a part of your life? Ms? Gibson. I mean you're right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: evolution and explosion are two very relative words to dance.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Right now, in the entertainment industry. But you know, as
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: far back as I can remember, I've been dancing. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: believe that I was dancing in the heavenly realms. When
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I asked my mother to put me in dance school,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I was very young. I was at six or seven. Um,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: there's no time in my life that I can remember
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: not dancing, not feeling the energy of entertainment. You know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously for me, I attested, as you know, the gift
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and that God has given me and bust me with.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So it's always been a part of my life. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was born in Toronto. At seventeen going on eighteen, I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: took a Grayhound but to New York City where I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: went to study at Alvin Elle American Dad's Theater, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: from there my career started. I um have had one
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the best training possible from that school, and you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I stand on the shoulders of greats. And and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I went to a heavy d audition where I met
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: pop Daddy and I fell in love with hip hop.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And then I started uh choregraphing for Mary J. Blage
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And that's what really started my choreography career. Because you say,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you start you've been dancing all your life there was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a passion that was a low. How did that translate
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to wanting to be able to you know, teach, because
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a different skill set because not longly
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you're teaching one person, you tend to have to teach
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a group of people to stay on beat, to to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to match consistency. Also, if you if you're on tour
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: with a star talent, they have to play a role
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the dance movement. How do how does that translate
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to your abilities? I think that that, uh, as a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: dancer is one thing, but I think you're right the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: evolution of a dancers definitely the choreographer and um, what
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I do as a creative director is making sure all
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of those components come together. You know, when you're dealing
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: with the artist, that's about artists development. They work differently.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You know, not every dancer has the gift to core
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: graphs and chre not all choreographers have the gift to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: creative direct or understand the direction aspect of it. So
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you know, for me, I'm very blessed. I have all
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of those kids and they work in tandem to create
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: such things as you know, the Bad Boy Reunion Tour,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the Monster Ball, uh, Nicki Minaj's pink Print tour. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of different components that come together, um
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: when designing something from an artist hearing their music, under
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: standing their vision than creating the dance deps than understanding
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what that experience is like, what do the clothes feel like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: what does the lighting feel like? It's an entire evolution
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of a vision because really, when you look at it,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: like everybody has a skill set and when one comes
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to you, do they come to you asking you to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: set up the show, set up the format? Are they
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: are you work with the client and they said, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you know their abilities? Or how does they work? And
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: when you when you put together a tour? And also
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: do you are you involved in the casting of the dancers? Yes,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm always involved in the casting and not everyone has
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that ability. But as a visionary, yes, it's important to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: me to be able to choose who will execute the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: movement and why I'm not someone that just operates off
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of the look of someone. But it's more about the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: gift for me. So yes, I do choose my dancers. Um.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And it's different with every artist, you know, um, most
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of the artists. Now, yes, I will create direct cord
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: up and see the entire vision through. But on the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: way and the journey, No, it wasn't always like that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I had to earn that. I understand that I had
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the ability to do that, So it was It's different
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: with every client, um, which makes it unique to each situation,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: which means that you have to be very creative. I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: on the phone with she's on the phone with this
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: interview is Laurie and Gibson. She's talented, one of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: brilliant UH director, corer choreographers in the game today. She's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a new judge on the sixteenth season of the Fox
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Dance Competition series. So you think you can dance? Now?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Of course that title, you know, applies to a lot
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of people, including me, because you know, I think I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: can dance. Or one time in college I was a breakdancer.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So when I was looking at of course I don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: qualify for that age group anymore. Eighteen the thirty showcasing
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: talents from dance styles from contemporary tap, hip hop, ballroom, animation, breaking,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and more, all those genres. What gender ascites you the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: most when you're judging? Are we will be judging? I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: mean they're all exciting to me because you know, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: am trained and I do all types of dance so um,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: including ballroom, chap jazz. So for me, it's just, you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's a combination of things. I love the passion in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the person's eyes. They what's in their heart, what's in
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: their soul? You know, how much do they love the dance.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's not about the style for me as much as
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it is as it is about the dance. Okay, so
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: so so is the emotion because I'm I've seen some
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of the preview where I see people flying across the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: air now like Peter Pain. You know that they really
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: have elevated the whole concept of you know, the physicality,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the the the the like city evolution of what you
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: can do the art form of dancing, because I have
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to say that dancing is now well maybe it's always
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: been in our form, but on the on the show
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: there's been there around for sixteen season. They have to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: keep keep challenging the consumer to be able to come back.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So what what what what surprises you the most about
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this particular dance competition show. I think, like you said,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they have evolved and they continue to evolve, which is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: important because yes, the dance has always been what it is.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It's just now we have the opportunity and the platform
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to put it in front of millions and for people
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to just really see how powerful the dance is. We've
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: always been athletes, We've always been incredible storytellers and vision marries.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: So I think, you know, it's great that we can
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: be brought to popular culture the way this show does.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And you know, now they have the three sixty cameras
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and you can utilize technology to freeze frame a movement
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: so you can just see how athletic and how amazing,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the art of dance really is. And obviously,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you know, if when I was young, I didn't have
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: this opportunity. So ultimately, so you think it's the dance
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is such a great, incredible opportunity to get directly in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: front of America and also in the business, and and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you know, have the ability to showcase your gift very
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: early on in your career, champion your move. You decided
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to move to New York and and and and why
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: did they? Why did why would this so important to ask?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Somebody tell you go ahead, follow your dream. I think,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I have an amazing family. My mom was
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: not able to follow her dreams. So from a very
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: young age she encouraged her girl to go after their passion.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It was something that she couldn't do um based on
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the ignorance of you know, her parents and the time.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So she encouraged us very young without any you know, like,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: without telling us how to do it. She just encouraged
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that mindset. And what that did was it it opened
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the door to our spirit, to our purpose, to our
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: connections very early to God and to understanding that voice.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: And I connected very early to my passion. Not a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: lot of people are able to that, but I did,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and once I did, I just never stopped. I always
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: had a clear understanding of something that would later reveal itself,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: which was a limitation in men and what their oppressive
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: thought can do to you. I never ever listened to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: authorities that spoke against the passion. And my mom always
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: taught me that very early as well, when someone says
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you can't do it, or you're too black, or you're
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: too short, or you're there, you know, she made a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: strong very early and understanding that you know are flawed. Yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I understood very early how to fight it. This is
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Loria and Gibson. She's a new judge on the current
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: season sixteen season of The New No shouldn't say knew
• 12:06

  Speaker 1: batteries that last up to two years. Total peace of
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: mind and Blink camera system started under eighty bucks with

• 20:51
  Speaker 1: executive produced it, she directed it. She just she's an empress,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: like she could just do pretty much anything. So I'm
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: really inspired by her. But her heart is always in
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the right place. And then she's always been a major
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: donor to Holly Ride. Her and her husband technic absolutely.

  Speaker 1: able to You're twelve years old and you're respectful. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: like that. And so when did you feel it? Because
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you tell me a little bit about your parents and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: your life, because you're twelve years old and you're effectively
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: showing maturity at a point of view at twelve years old,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you're talking about the stock market. So tell me a
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: little bit about your parents. Well, my dad does real
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: estate and my mom is in the military, and my
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: mom and dad have really been very inde important and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: help me grow and get to where I am now,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: because I would not be where I am now without
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: their support financially, emotionally, physically, and it's just helped me
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: in so many ways. They're amazing and great people. WI
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: you're driving looking for the next best thing they can
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: do to help grow and health the commune. Easy, okay, cool?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Now what are you twelve years old? Point of view?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Stock market? What interests you are? What? What knowledge? What
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: did you start looking at the stock market as a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: potential angle or a creative angle to look at? And
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: when did you When did you say this is what
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I want to do? Well, it all happens when I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: back in like two, fourteen, four and five years ago.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: So he was seven, Um when I saw a Facebook
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: post fourteen year old at a black boy at Chicago
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and made fifty thousand dollars off the stock market after
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: investment a Nike since you wanted to buy them Jordan's
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: so he like anyone who wanted, Um, who want to
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: make that kind of money? I asked my mom to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: chiefly how to do that, how to investment stock market?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: At first, she didn't take me seriously, but then I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: started reading up on the stop can they telling her
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: about what I was learning. So then she started to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: take me a little more seriously and eventually taught me,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: after taking a course of her off, how to invest
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and trade in the stop warks. So okay, so she
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: didn't take you serious because you're seven years old. Go
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I understand that, Mr Jones. There's a reason I wouldn't
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: take you serious either. You come up there. First of all,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: you don't have no money, so could you invest in
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the stockball? You gotta have money, So first of all,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you need to go down and get some lollipops. That's
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. That's seven years old. You know you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: over were talking about me giving you money so you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: can invest in the stock. All I see is like
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: it's just going in the wind. So so understand your
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: parents were right not to take you serious. Okay, So
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: when did this start taking you serious? Mr? Jones? Remember
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you just seven years old? Remember you seven years old?
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: So it took him two years to realize that. Were
• 32:53

• 33:01
  Speaker 1: your mo I have to make my own money, Okay,

  Speaker 1: I don't get I don't get along that. Okay. So
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: for two years day, what did you do? Did you
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Did you have any money saved over that period? You
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: know you have birthdays, your two birthdays come up. Did
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you get any money for your birthdays? What was happening there?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I was, well, I did get some money for my birthday.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: That helped a little bit. I was mostly hustling and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: selling you my books to win within Okay, cool, Okay,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: now we'll be back. Okay. So you wrote a book
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: at seven, Well, I wrote the book when I was eight.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I was more so I got interested when I was seven.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I wrote the book when I was eight, and honestly,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: ninety days I made over five thousand dollars. In two
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: thousand seven, you had the vision you wanted to get
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: in the stock, and then two thousand eight you wrote
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a book. I apologize. Wow, two thousand I'm thinking about Okay,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen you wrote the book, right. Two thousand
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: twelve is when you when you saw the no no, no, Okay.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: It was two thousand fourteen when I saw the Kim
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: who made the money. She doesn't see when I broke
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the book. Wow, I'm the one that's losing track of
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: time here and now from that book, you generated how
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: much money in sales? Book sales? I made over five
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars in ninety days? Okay, cool? In ninety days?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: What did you do with that money. Well, I saved
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: it and put it into my stock account. And now
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: now now we have money in the stock market. Now,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: did you have to go to your parents to get
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: approval to spend that money or how did that work?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: So basically, um, now I'm about nine or ten years
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: old and my mom is starting to teach me about
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the stock market. So she opens me up a brokerage
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: account and push the money in there, but she won't
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: let me touch it yet. So all right, actually like
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: knowing that supposed the back of my head. Okay, So,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: so she's still not trusting you, which is good, which
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: is good. Again, she don't want you to just make
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a mistake. This is money, and so she's I would
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: tell people, I understand where people are cautionary. That's all right, dude,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: She's not spending your money. She's telling you being maybe
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: in your situation you felt overly protective of your money. Now,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: what was the first trade that you made with your money?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: The first price? Yes, sir, so basically the first time
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I made actual money in the stock market. Well, you
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: made you bought stock? Correct? Like, what's that? She said that? Again? Hello? Yes,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I said, so when you generated income in the stock market,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: what what how did you evaluate that decision to buy
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a particular stock. Well, when I first made money in
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the stock market, how I was able to evaluate it
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: is about using the system that um that's been proven
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to work. And I have to select great stocks. And
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the thing about the stock market that you don't have
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to You don't need a whole bunch of stockument me
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: like one or two that's are consistently generating intro. And
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: so that's what you're saying, Like, for instance, you know
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: my stock I have, you know they buy I don't
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: know what it used to be when I started buying
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: my stock. I had home depot. I knew exactly what
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: stocks I have. I don't know who they tell me that.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: They come to me, they say, we have a conservative
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: line of stock, we have an aggressive line of stock.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Where would you like to be And that's what I said, Well,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I'm conservative, and so they're buy my stocks basically on
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that conservative line of thinking. So you're saying that if
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: you're just an individual, don't just go out there buying
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stocks, focus on a couple or two
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: or three. That's what you're saying, right, Yes, that's you've
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: done your truth on and the truth is right. Companies
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that you like and that you already buy from our researchers,
• 37:04

• 37:10

• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the k Mark. I wish you'd to met you, young man.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: The truth. Now reiterate that that little quote again because

• 37:46
  Speaker 1: again because I'm gonna bring you back on my show.

• 37:55
  Speaker 1: We'll take questions on air. Okay. Now reiterate that the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: truth again and what it means. I have adults right now,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: righting it down, So talk slow TEA. Twenty companies that
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: you like and that you already buy from. Are research
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: those companies thoroughly, you understand the historical data. Te trade
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: after closing, give yourself some time to think about it
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and h have an enter and at a strategy, and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: don't be green. Stick to the plant. There's a lot
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: of people then did the greedy part happening to the truth? Mh,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I've done it myself before. To hear it. I love it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I love it because see the thing about it is
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: that he's telling the absolutely truth. I tell people all
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the time, like if if you if you shop it
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: on dupot, why are you buying stocking loads? Okay, if
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you buy an Apple, why are you buying an ivy?
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: And why are you investing in that? Bea buy where
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you feel you see what I was making mistakes us.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I would. I would listen to these crazy people on TV.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: You know Mad the mad Man, Mad money guy. He's
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: led me a straight many times. But it sounded so good.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: That's why I like what he's saying. Is that buy
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: after closing, because you know you can buy in the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: morning because they said it's hot, because you see stock move,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: it could move, and then so you buy and you
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: buy hot and by closing this drops down, you lost money.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: So he's absolutely correct in his philosophy. I'm just letting
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you know if this is a guy who's lost money.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I think I made some money, but I know for

  Speaker 1: on our house while I was at work and a
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical, but decided to give
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: it a shot, and I bought a Blink camera system.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: With our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: monthly fees, we couldn't get out of my bad. But
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras that
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: work inside and outside, their wire free, easy to set up,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and they run on two lithium batteries that last up
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: to two years. Total peace of mind and Blink camera
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions. We were
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: on vacation and I gotten to learn of my smartphone
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that motion was detected at our front door. I checked
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: my Blank app and I saw it was just my
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: cool new device being delivered. Hey, we agreed no new
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: devices except Blink. Just kidding, not kidding. With Blink camera

• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Hey man, that lay out there, my friend your store.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: So tell me about you. H u E, Why why
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: that name? And why did you get into the group
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: me lave business When you said grooming, what does all
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: that did tail? Because I have a beard and a mustache. Yeah, so, uh,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: I was just I have someone who's always kind of
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: taking pride of my appearance and uh, you know, kept
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: a pretty clean haircut and and and and just kind
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: of really tried to always present myself, um to the
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: best of my ability. And about three and a half
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: years ago, a company at a based out of New York,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: but there there ran out of l A approached me
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: about kind of being an ambassador for their company. And
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I looked at their products and really liked
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: the products, like the team they had behind them. So
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I took out an ambassador role, but then also had
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you know, over the past year kind of taking uh
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: some equity and a company as well, and really pushing
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: it as it's my own. Um. I think the men's
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: grooping space is a really an untapped market. UM. I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: feel that, you know, as men, we care about our appearance,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of not manly to speak on it.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: So we're kind of, you know, start restart that conversation.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: You know, grooming yourself is really important. Um. You know,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I have two young tenor old twin boys that you know,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I'm teaching them how to become in and grooving them.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Grooming is a big part of that. So we're just
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: trying to, you know, restart the conversation that that has
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: had several years ago when our when our fathers and
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: our grandfathers, you teach our fathers how to you know,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: take care of themselves, and I think that's been lost
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to late. So we're trying to restart that conversation. Now.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: When you say that, is that from the standpoint of
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: an athlete because casual wear took over, you know, where
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you wearing a suit at Easter Suit, all that stuff
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: kind of went out the window. Are you talking about
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: trying to elerate that game? Well, you know, your shaw
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: come out there with a suit all just like dad,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: with a little three a little vast a little town.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I think, I think that it's a while and then
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I think over the coast of course of my career,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I want to say, uh, you know, mid two thousands,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: late two thousands, B M B A and forced you know,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: a different type of dress code, you know, really bringing
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of throwing casual were out for the
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: most part and being more business attire. Um. And I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: think once the EBA started doing that, it kind of
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: caught on in other extremes and of the professionals as well. UM.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of a copycast situation from that standpoint.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm both, you know, off the cord, I'm very
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: you know, sweatsuits and in shorts, um, but also like
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: to dressed up, you know when the occasion calls sport. Well,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: it's really cool because you know, I'm a big fan
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: of the NBA and I to the it's a big deal.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Not just to see the players initors initor arena. You know,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: it's almost like a fashion show. You know, they make
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a big deal like the past, the shirt who right
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: when when when Lebron what those that that short suit
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the right it blew it up? So so what what's
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: your fashion? What's your fashion moment? There? Sir? That well,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: what what's what? What's your style? They're back? What style
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: are you bring to the tape um? Like I said,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I'm in between. I like to be business comfortable, so
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: to speak. You know, I I do enjoy putting on
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: suits from time to time, but for the most part,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I just you know, I really like to be cleaned
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: up and present myself. Well, I don't do it as
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: much now that I'm retired because you know, kind of
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: my homebody now and my kids and all I focus
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: on this business don't want to do get a chance
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: to step out and you know, throw a suit on.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I definitely enjoy doing that. Now, this is interesting because
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: you almost like a little black shark tank because you've
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: got all these businesses, you know, So how because what what? What?
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Because can you tell me about your staff? Because I
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: know you're not the one man operation? So how is
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: this all being managed by you and overseen by you?
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I actually have a three person staff. Three other women
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: besides myself kind of helped me keep everything in order
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: and everything that I either invested into or became an
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: equity partner owner and or just stuffed it up. I'm
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: into in general, um, like I said, the huge uh
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: men's grooming line. Like I said, I take pride to
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: my appearance. Um, the active dreamer's betting where we can
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: pretty much turn any player into a into a comforter
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: or a fellow. Um and something that my kids loves,
• 47:57
