  Speaker 1: career and I know my relationship with you over the years,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: because you've always contacted me or I contacted you, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we've always blended our ideals and and just to stay
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: out there in front of the next moment. How how
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: importance relationships in your success story? It's crucial. Uh, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: know you can't do it alone. Uh, now, you got
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to get your act together. You got to do your
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: part and then some. But then the next step is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to find like minded people, people who share your value system,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: people who share your work ethic um, people who share
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: your goals. And that's what I've always felt about you,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: which is why I've always said to you, if I'm working,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you're working. You know, I've always opportunities to help you,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: because I know, without asking, you will always look for
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to help me. I asked that because we
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: had to go back BT. You know, people say, uh,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: sitting in the room trying to figure out how we're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: gonna work together, you meet Steve Harvey and that's how
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we did Celebration of Gospel the last thirteen years. That
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was a vision that you saw and you know we
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't sure because we was coming off of that you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: CUsing comedian you know, uh, kids of comedy, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: death comedy jam. But that didn't bother you. You saw
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: beyond that and really lay the lay the groundwork for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. I seeing ourselves in a different life. How
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: did you But that was that was a decision that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you had to make. And I would say somewhat risky
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: because people going Steve Harvey at the comedian that comes
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a lot. But you saw we're gonna having hosts a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: popular gospel show. Well, I just saw Steve as a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: giant talent. You know what what the whole world is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: thing now I saw from the beginning, and he's a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: big difference in terms of there's kind of two types
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of people in Hollywood's heat seekers and there's talent seekers.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Right now, if you are a talent seeker, it doesn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: matter if someone has been put on or not. You go,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this person is gifted, and boy, can I be lucky
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: enough to work with that talented person? Or oh you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: know you can say, oh that person he's over, he's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: not high anymore. You go, no, no, no, no, that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: person is talented. And I believe of a talent, whether
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it's been proven to the public or if the public
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: may think their moments over. If you spot talent, then
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you invest. Now if you can't feel spot taste talent,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: if you don't, if you don't have that sensibility, you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have to go with heat right right. You know, otherwise
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you can't even say, well, that's what's hot right now,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and you change hot. And I understand stand people who
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that's all they can do. But I've been blessed to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: be able to recognize talent. And when you recognize talent,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you can get there first. Come on now, when I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: think that we yeah, that's a nice transition to show
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: time at apollom Man. I saw you on LinkedIn. You
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: were smiling, say we're back, We're back. I looked at
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this show man and you you put your stamp on it. Man,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you put your stamp, your brand on it. You know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's it feels exciting, It feels like the original show.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So what was your vision about the show? You know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: we got Steve Harvey, the biggest talent on in the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: universe right now, especially at TV Media, and then you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: have a brand that we know about. It has been altered,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit chopped up, some people have changed some stuff.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: What made you say this can work? Well? First of all,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it's showtime with you, Apollo. All these talent shows don't
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: exist without standing on the show to the show. Chime
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of the apology, that was the first it was the best.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I mean that's UKN I mean like some of this is,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: this is, this is Adam, this, this is the d
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: n A. And I've talked to people who worked on
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: those other shows, and believe me, the producers of those
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: other shows referenced the Apollo all the time. They say, well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the apologies this way. You know, we need
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to do it like this because that's how the Apollo
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: did it. So don't be fooled. Those other people know
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. They are copying the Apollo. So we
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna work because it has always worked. It
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: has worked before there was TV right right right, So
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: so now it's like, okay, so we're back. Now we're
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: on primetime. Now we're on a major network. So now
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we've got to we can't be stuck in the past.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: We got an upgrade, we got new technology, got new
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: ways of storytelling. We can go deeper than we ever
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: did before. So you keep what works, and then you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: add to it, add to it, add to it beautiful,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and and and and it shows so much in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in the clarity. But the thing that I like about you, Reginald,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is that you are a visionary. I remember when you
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: called me when you were shooting a Jangle unchanged with
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Jamie Fox and Samuel Jackson, and you said, Roshan, you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gotta get your butt down here. Man, we're doing something
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: down here. Man. That's crazy. It's good, I mean you said,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about this scene. You saw what
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: everybody was crying after the scene. It was just so
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: emotionally moved by that. You get involved with projects like
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: this all the time. This is not accident huddling. How well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's what you should say that because like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: right right, people are upset. Hardly read the script. That
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: knows nothing. Oh man, this is flat movie. On the wait, WI,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you're working with Qui Tartino. Oh uh you know you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: know he gave black women. I'm like, I think black
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: women too. What the deal? Interview? Everybody's all worked up,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: But I said, look, I did, have you read the script?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That good? Now, I said, I read the script. Here's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: what the movie is about. It's about a black man
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: who do anything to get his wife back. He will
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: walk into hell and kill anybody between him and his
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: wife and get his wife's back. Now, I don't know
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: about you. I ain't got a problem with that my
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: kind of movie that I won't because you know, I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: love my wife. Don't get between me and my wife.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: It'll get handled. So I'm like, wait a minute, we
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: ain't say a movie like this, this is what we need.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So of course when the movie comes out, everybody sees it,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: everybody gets quiet, right, you know that that was That
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: was pretty good. That was pretty good. I'm like, oh, yeah, one,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you just gotta book. You gotta. You can't go by
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: other people. You can't be a heat seeker. You gotta
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: be a talent seecret. You gotta. You gotta recognize real
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: when it comes your way and go, I believe in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: this and I'm riding for this. And when you do that,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it works out. There's the great thing about you. Okay,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Black Panther, So you a Black Panther before Black Panther.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You know the comic book. You know, he's always ras Sean.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I gotta get the worried out by my comic book,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the animated series. And I'm going, okay, because I knew
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: nothing about the movie, you know. So so you was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: out there with that brand with a clear and that's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: what I cant telling you. He's a visionary people need
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to understand this about Reginald Hudler. You need to follow
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this guy on social media. You need to track this
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: guy on LinkedIn, because he's always ahead the curve, always
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: with a clear understanding, with the power Black Panther. How
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: has Black Panther changed Hollywood? It's changed everything because right
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: now it's it's just it's I think the number four
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: biggest movie in Hollywood history about to be number three.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It's bigger than every other superhero movie. It just passed
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Jurassic Park, getting ready to pass Titanic um and it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: didn't being the blackest possible movie you can make. What
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: do I do? What I do? Do I do? Do? What?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Got killed? Everything? Right? A minute? When have you ever
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: seen black Utopia on a movie before? Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: A world we're like no, no, we run things. We're
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: more advanced than everybody else. And that's what I wrote
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in the comic book years ago. I wrote the company
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: for four years, and the important thing about the book was,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm getting ready say some historical truths. In Benin
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: we had metal alloys, right, take two medals and blending
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: them together. Well, people in Europe was still living in caves.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So you know the factors in that prehistoric point of history,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: we were a more advanced culture. So the premise of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Wakanda is, what if we never lost that head stopped
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and you know, and we we wouldn't lose it if
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we were such a military might that we could not
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: be conquered. Now again, once everybody showed time at the
• 13:45

• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a model, from an actor, and I just wanted to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: take the time before we started getting into the projects
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to talk about that evolution, because I'm sure that they
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: took you into some uncharted waters. Talk to us about
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the transition, you know. Well, you know, I mean, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I started my career in the entertainment business. I was
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: discovered by the four Miland agency when I was nineteen,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, my career quickly took off I moved
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to New York, and you know, it was in a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: lot of really major campaigns, from Abercrumbie and Fitch to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Tommy Hill. Figure when did he started, Sean John? He
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: he made me the face of of the of the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: line for a few years. And you know, I obviously,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you know, thought about you know, I thought about my
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: life a lot of My parents always talked about legacy. Um.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: You know, both my parents been married for the years,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, they always talked about legacy and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, being that they always was skeptical
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: about me getting into the entertainment business. My dad works
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: for the government and my mother is on the school board.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Nothing about the career. That's career employment right there, brother,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: career employment exactly. So I you know, I was doing really,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: really well in the fashion business, but I was always
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: thinking about what my life was gonna look like when
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I was thirty and forty, And you know, I always
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: thought about down the road, and you know, I didn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: want to be the guy who you know, was still
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: trying to model or go to auditions when I was
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: thirty and forty years old. So really, um, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: even though I was doing really well, it was worked.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: You were an interesting point. Yeah, you know, I was
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: doing okay, but it was an interesting point in my life.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I felt very uh I was. I was depressed and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: y'all was you know. I had times when I was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: depressed because I was just like, you know, this can't
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: be it. I know that that, you know, I want
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to do more. And that's when I really started thinking
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: about making that transition into writing and producing. And you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I went when you know, I was staying in the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: house for days at a time and just watch move
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you know, watch the movies. I watched like everything Hitchcock made,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and you know, Stanley Kubrick and Ewa Kazane and you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: know John Cassavetti's. I just started really getting into watching films.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And that's when I, um, you know, I started writing.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I decided, you know, I wanted to be a writer producer,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and I started working on my first screenplay, which is
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Video Girl. M hm m m m. Now, he's an
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: interesting thinging about it. I want to tell people about
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: our relationship because when he was modeling modeling, he was
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: transitioning into acting and that's when we met on sitcom.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: And the thing about him that I'm so proud of
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and I have to say I take this with pride,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: which because he was never satisfied with just doing the lines.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: He wanted to understand the whole process. And so he's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: sitting in my office, he sit and just pretty much
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: bug me to give him enough information, just like do
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he can understood. And it was always that, but but
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but but that was a fearless nature about you that
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: even back then, you know, I knew then that you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: were not I believe I'm not a visionary. I didn't
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: know the evolution of what you are today one of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the top producers and creative minds in Hollywood today, young minds.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go and put that in prospective young minds in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Hollywood today, when you when you were sitting back there
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: just asking me questions, other producer's questions, what was the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: what was the thought process? Because we would just bringing
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in there, trying to help you transition, give you an
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: acting opportunity because you want to be more than just
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a model. At the time. Yeah, I mean, I just
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: like I'm I'm a big student of the business. You know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I researched a lot of people's careers and you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and and obviously you know uh what you and Steve
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: have been able to do it. It's been amazing. I mean,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's it's really really big, you know, uh, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: know entrepreneurial minds. You know, opportunities you've given to so
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: many people you know that look like us. I mean,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it's it's just you know, incredible. Um. I think for me,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I just wanted always, like I said, I always thought
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: about just having longevity. And I think when you when
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you were able to create your own projects, you know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I think the town has to respect you better. You know,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: like you you're not just somebody waiting by the phone
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: for somebody to give you a job. So you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: when I even when I looked at the people like
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the George Clooney's and the Brad Pitts, and he's in
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the way, you know, Brad Pitt and and you know,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I mean even the way Matt Damon and and that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Athlet got into business by sort of righting themselves in
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the business because they wrote good Will hunting um. The
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: feeling that they want to ask me for I just
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: think that the town, you know, and people like Jon
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Favreau who wrote Swingers, and he you know, he was
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: acting and stuff. Now, he's one of the biggest directors
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: in our business. I just think that you have to
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: be you. You have to do more things than than
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: just one and you know when you can, you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: create your own projects. Again, I distinct. That's that's just
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a different level of respect in our business that comes
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: with that versus just being looked at is solely just
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a talent. Here's a great thing about it. On the phone,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he's on the phone. He's the creator and executive producer
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the hit WE TV franchise Growing Up hip Hop, which
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: is currently in his fourth season and spending off a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Miami version to add to the New York in Atlanta series.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Uh Datari Turner, Tatari. Let's talk about that whole process. First,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the original concept, the original show Growing Up hip Hop,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and now the franchise that we here we see on
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: TV the housewives type franchises. That is, uh what makes
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: me most proud about what you're accomplishing. You know, you're
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: making money while you're sleeping now yeah, yeah, I mean
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you know. But for me, I always you know, my
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: my mission statements in life. I just I feel like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: everything that I do it has to have a real
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: message of why I'm doing it like I never wanted
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: to do something. Uh just just for money, you know,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: because images are really powerful, you know, you know, I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: mean they say that what we do in Hollywood is
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: not brain surgery. But you know, if you really think
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: about it, you know this is the reason why America
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: is still a superpower really is because of our entertainment business.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: We're not top ten in education. You know, Uh, China,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: how many ohs half of us will be we are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: dead like crazy, and then we now have other militaries
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that rival are. So the reason why we're really a
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: superpowers because of our entertainment in the street. When we
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: release a movie, it's the number one movie in the world.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: You know, our movie stars of the biggest movie stars
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in the world are even our reality stars are. But
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I grown up pip hop really was. You know, SE's
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: playing a long time ago. You know, I remember when
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I created my first TV show, Oltsim and Hustler with
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Damon Dash at BT. You know, Damon says something to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: me that always stuck with me. You know, him and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: jay Z were sort of going through their break up
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: at the time. You know, they both said when they
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: when they started Rockefeller records. You know, they named their
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: company after this legacy, you know, white family because they
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: didn't know of a lot of black familacies that had
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: black families that had generational wealth and had legacies like
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the Rockefellers. So that always stuck with me because at
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that time, you know, didd he was coming up with them,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and even Russell Simmons hadn't had kids or been married
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to Camor and yet so they named their company after
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: this rich wife family, and I was just like, that's
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking about that and how my parents
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: always talked about legacy. Now through hip hop, you have
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: these wealthy families that have second, second generations as wealth.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So I just you know, when you know, I was,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I had hired you know, Angela's sister Vanessa Simmons for
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a movie I produced called Dysfunctional Friends, and how that
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: came about, uh, you know, then the Chevy Company reached
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: out to me. They wanted me to create sort of
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: like a web series for their site because a lot
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: of these brands now trying to really get into content
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and so they exactly so, so I came up with
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a with a web series called Celebrity Closet Raid and
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I reached back out to Vanessa to have her do it,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: because you know, they have these you know clauses that
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: have like hundreds of dollards of dollars worth of close
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and she couldn't do it at the time that she
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: was pregnant, but she said, you should do my sister
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Angela because she has you know, quarter million dollars and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: shoes in a closer. So I hired Angela to do
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: this show and then we you know, we became you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: good friends, and um, you know, she was looking to
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: get back in the reality TV and so we both
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you know, set out to uh try to get her
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a show, and then we were unsuccessful on that. And
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: then that's when I came up with the idea to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I was like, well, how about we doing
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: with all of the legacy kids. Let's go get Romeo.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go get Romeo mask the p I had just
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: produced a movie car a Girl Like Grace that Romeo
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: was in, and uh, you know, I went back to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Damon Dash, who I had who I did my first show,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and now his son was grown Boogie, and uh it
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: really was just me calling relationship relationship exactly. That's what
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Driver did as well, you know everything, Like like I said,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: everything that I do, I just wanted to have a
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: meeting behind it and wanted to be something that's positive
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and allows people to think about things. You know again, um,

  Speaker 1: to you girl. You're fantastic, great, thank you for calling in.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: First of all, Um, First of all, I gotta go
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: back when I first met you in Los Angeles, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: you're just so naturally gifted. But you always always got
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the impression because you always said that you wanted to
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: be bigger, you wanted to do more. You always felt
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: that you were bigger to radio. What was the drive
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: because you because you was hired from Atlanta to do
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: radio in Los Angeles, which is that's cross country, okay,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: And that's a lot of emotions, that's a lot of
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of things that you know there's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: no guarantees, but you made that decision. I want to
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I want the listeners to hear what drove you at
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that early stage, which makes you the success you are today.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I think, I think to be successful, people have to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: understand you have to be willing to take risks and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: be willing to, you know, push fear out the way.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I could have let fear get in the way of
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: being moving to l A at nineteen years old and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: not knowing anybody actually even been to l A when
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I moved there. I mean, in my world, you can
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: only dream about a place like l A. You weren't
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: traveling there, so I never been there before and just
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: got off the plane and moved there. But I had
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to let fear out the way because I knew what
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: my goal was. I knew I wanted to be successful,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and I knew this was the start of achieving that goal.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So I just chomped it up there what I had
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: to do. And I feel like you know, it always
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: decisions and so we met. You know you always can
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: you give. I always talk to you about everything, everything
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and looking at you and and and Steve Harvey. You
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: know that motivated me too because I would see all
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the amazing things you guys were doing and not just
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: being on the radio, and like at that time and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: even now, you know, people want to put people in boxes,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: like if you're on the radio, that's all you do.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: If you're a producer, that's all you do. If you're
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: on TV, that's all you do. And Steve was one
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of the first people along which you know, your help
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: to break those barriers and show people you can do
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of different things and be great at it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to do. So it just
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: taught me at an early age not to put myself
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: in a box and be able to accomplish different things.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And then the first big break out of radio was
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: MTV H and I remember you used to shine. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: got an audition. I mean, you call me. I think
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I think they liked me. What you like? Do you know?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I'm overre hustling with Steve? So I really couldn't couldn't,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't get into a world. But I can go go
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: for a girl, go for it right now. You always
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: gave me the confidence and that's something I'll never forget
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and I'm so grateful for. That's why when I even
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: heard about the interview, I was like, do you know
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: how far back we go in my career, especially in
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the early early stages. Yeah, the MTV audition happened and
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I booked that job, and then I moved to New
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: York and started, you know, hosting prlan m HM. And
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that's the thing that always and I would text her
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: sometimes when a CEO TV what it was on b
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: ET and just so your articulation and your intellect was
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: always especially you used to do the social media boards.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: You was just round and I would text us the girl,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: are you crazy? That is too good? I would just
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: text her, I don't know, you know, it's you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: because it was just it was just you, just a
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: naturally gifted person and you just and everything came off
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: so easy, and I know it wasn't easy because you
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: put your work in. That was the one thing I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: want to let everybody know. One of the most hard
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: working individuals is on the phone right here, because she
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: puts her time and she's willing to give the hours.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: She's one of the people that you know I was.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I was running the people go what it takes to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: be successful, and people always asking me about when I said,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: people always say I want Steve Harvey's career because they
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: want me to manage them. I go, well, okay, let
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: me just let you know I'm a workaholic. Rashan McDonald's walkerholic.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Now Steve Harvey is a workaholic too, because I never
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: had to see on the phone right here, Love Anthony
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: is a workaholic. So so it's like they don't they're bed.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: It's just there. The rest. It's not there to lay
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in and you don't even and we don't even use
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: we don't even like like we should be rescued fairly
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: even rest. It's just hard work. And sometimes people don't
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: understand that. They see certain things, it looks so easy.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I want to do that too, and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: no one really understands the bullets went into you that
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: are put behind it, like it's not easy. And that's
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: why I always say it sounds so cliche when you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: say hard work pays off, but it really does. Because
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: one thing about me. I just know hard work and
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I'm watching it even now. Just continue to pay off
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: in my career and I'm not gonna stop. I know
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you're not. And I'm gonna tell you this the compliment
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: when I saw your uncensored you are. You are beautiful,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: You're articulate, You're smart. And I tell you something when
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: they when they put you in these roles of being
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a daytime talk show host, you have to have layers.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, you have to have experiences. So
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when guests come to you with emotional issues, you have
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to be able to talk to them. You can't look
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: at what the producer what I was saying, that what
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I say that you able to relate? You will? You will?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: You were everything last night. So so what was the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: goal or that you were trying to accomplish when they
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: approach you to do Uncensored for TV one. I think
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: for me, it's just allowing people to see who I
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: am as a person, even though I do feel like
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: people know that, but just the inside glimpse of my
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: life and how I started and how I made it
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: to where I'm at today. And for me, it's more
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: of an inspiring story for young women out there who
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: are trying to achieve goals to look at, you know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the struggles are are different things I've been through to
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: get to where I'm at, and just to inspire people
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: to say, you know, you could do the same thing.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: None of us were born with a silver spoon in
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: our mouth. We all worked hard and came from humble
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: beginnings and made you know, great lives for ourselves and
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: just telling other people like, you can do this too,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you can achieve these goals. And more so for me,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: it was motivating and inspiring to people out there and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: just gave people an inside look at, you know, my
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: life and how how I did I did and how
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, because continue now that that's really
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: cool because when I was when I was watching it,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: like I really love the interaction between you and your son.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: That was like, oh, you know, you know, produce I
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't produce a mode right there. She needs to talk
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: show right there, right there, right there, look at look
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: at it right there. Every mom in the country. She
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: got the soccer moms right there, she got the regular
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: moms to single mom, she got every mom and that
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: moment right there, and then said at the age you're
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: at right now, and and and in years, they've a
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: lot of people have tried to lock that age group
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that you control right now, and I'm just learning, you know,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, you got all the right people
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: around you. If the offer comes to you, go for
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: a girl because you're ready. Yeah, well, Roshan, I'll be
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: calling you like I did in the past. What am
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: I supposed to do? Because that's that would be a
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: new field for me and something I know, you know,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm just appreciative to have people like you in
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: my corner no matter what. And it's time. It's really
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: it's time because like I said, you know, we're gonna
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: talk about some of the other things you're doing, but
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: before we transition to power in the clothing line and
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and the other shows that you're doing. I experienced, you know,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: emotional tragedy in my life with the hurricane hit Houston, Texas.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And then basically, you know, that's hurricane country, just like
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Puerto Rico is hurricane alley sometimes and but what it
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: did to my city was devastating because you know, you
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: have you know, you have the black neighborhood, you have
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the white where the white neighborhoods got flooded this time. Okay,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the white neighbors got to up this time. So that
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: really knocked the city for a loop because they nobody
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: expected that, you know, because our high end neighborhoods of
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Memorial and River, well guess what they were underwater. And
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: so when I saw what happened to Puerto Rico, can
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you just let everybody know, walk us into the emotion
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: that you were tied to that situation there when the
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: hurricane hit. Yeah, it's definitely emotional. I mean, my families
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico. I still have family in Puerto Rico,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and you're just watching this happen and you know you're
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: not there, so you feel helpless. You're just watching and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: you can't get in touch with anyone. You're calling, phone
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: lines are down, you're emailing, you're not saying as sponsors.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: You don't know if family members are alive. Are they okay?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Like those are some of the you know, hardest days
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: of my life, just waiting to just get a answer
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: yes and no, anything, just just something like that's so hard.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And then you know, luckily all my family was okay,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and I did get those responses, but what's even more
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: heartbreaking is how we watched out, you know, the United States,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: and our president kind of handled Puerto Rico became like
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a joke and oh it kind as dead as as
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: if you're thinking, then you know, you never saw anything
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: else about Puerto Rico on the news or anything. If
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you go to Puerto Rico, now, yeah, San Juan, which
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: is the main town, looks somewhat like itself, but go
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of miles up into you know, some of
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the towns still it's just horrible. Like there's still places
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: with no electricity, there's still places with no running water,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: and you just would never know that. It's all of
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: a sudden, Puerto Rico just got forgotten about. So I'm
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: here to continue to bring the word out into the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: needs of Puerto Rico, continue to raise money, do what
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I can. Um. Spike Lee actually call me over the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: weekend and we're planning something together in Puerto Rico. So
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: just continuing to keep the spotlight on it, because if
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: we're just going off of television, you would think Puerto
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Rico's back in tip top shape and and doesn't need
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: a thing, And that's just not the case, right, And
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to make sure I brought that
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: up in our interview, because this is bigger than a movie.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: You're in a TV show I'm producing, because this is
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: real life. Is real life. So your mom, she's beautiful,
• 40:51

  Speaker 1: far when we first met, when I was still on
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the Jamie Fox Show and used to send in my
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: office and used to tell me you want to be
• 45:47

• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you for just being an o G and paving the way. Well,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: thank you, uh you know, as you sit on the
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: sidelines man, and and look at a talent like you
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that let's let's let's tell everybody
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: you know, you kind of got your first you Sago,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: So he's right down from Los Angeles. So you came up.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I went to Los Angeles and your first break really
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: was doing warm up? Correct, Yeah, definitely my first break.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I mean as a teenager like obviously, you know, doing
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: the hustle of being a stand up around you know,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years old or through l A and then
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: you know, our first couple of opportunities. I mean, the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: first opportunity I got to do warm up was on
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the Colodeon and then to me, I turned that into
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: a business. I mean that was enough to pay my
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: mama and drink and and you know, I was just
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: every every show that gave me an opportunity, so I
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I started naming like you know, the keening and chails
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: and all that. But I got an opportunity to warm
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: up a couple of times on from w B shows
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: and even hang out on the set, you know, like
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: you said, at different shows like the Jamie Fox Show
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: and Steve Barber Show. And that's when I kind of
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: saw how big that world actually was and how many
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: jobs and occupations that you know, one could be existing
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: instead of just being in front of the camera, because
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: that's always was the case, you know. And your first
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: movie break was I would say, drum line correct. Yeah, yeah,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I mean obviously because I had when I was a
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: teenager from doing all of the arsinal and stuff I
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: gotta deal with Will Smith uh and so he gave
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: me a small little role in Many Black too. Uh
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: So that was probably the first time I was ever
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: in a movie, but the first movie that I ever
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: started this drum line. Come on, I'm gonna talking about
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: a stall. You know, you know you carried that movie? Yeah?
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: You know that was WILLI Smith movie. Okay, Nick, that
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: was Will Smith movie. We're talking about talking about drum line, dude,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: But they said you are the man. You are the man.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: You know. It was such a time movie. The reason
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I love talking to a brand like yours and started
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: so young and still relevant today is because of the
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: fact that you've grown through that whole millennial generational process
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: where you grew up with the iPhone, you grew up
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: in the internet generation, you know emails or you know,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I grew up in I was born with a rotary
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: dial telephone. You know what I'm saying. So you know
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: that just you know, you know when when when when
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the when the television shows went off When I was
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: growing up, you know, they went off at midnight and
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: you heard the flag and in the national anthem. You know,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: today technology used to go off for real, one off.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: You know what we're gonna do not go to bed.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: You're gonna go to bed board. You're gonna go to bed.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: And so you grew up in a twenty four our
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: world or twenty four world? How did that? How did
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that affect you? Knowing that because I see it in
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: your brand, and we're gonna talk about those layers, but
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: I do want to get a good sense of what
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: incredible which is your company divisions that flow out of
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: that tell us about that. Really it's uh endless possibilities
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: more than anything, like you said, like you live in
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: a twenty four our world and everything that your seniord tips,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: there's nothing that you can't do. There's nothing that you
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: can't put your mind to, and just the ingenuity just
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: based off of your creativity is so prevalent in this
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: generation and in the mindset they don't believe there's any
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: any limits, which is cool. So to be able to
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: approach business life just from a highspect of whatever I
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: put my mind and I'm gonna make it happen, it's
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And that's the and that's the really
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: important that you say that because of the fact that
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't pursue opportunities out of fear
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: they've have changed, and that's not that's not your m O.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: You don't you know, we all have, we all questioned.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't wanna tell people, you know, nervousness
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: or when I feel uncomfortable. I used to work uncomfortable
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: in my my vocabulary. When I talk about change, I
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: always say that's a good thing for me. When I'm uncomfortable,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I'm about to veer into another direction that's really gonna
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: be good for me. Because if you stay comfortable, you
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: know you you can subject to the failures are being comfortable.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: But when you have multiple streams of income, like you're creating,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: then you also know there's a lot of uncomfortable zones
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: that you go into question yourself, like like the whole
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: creation of the Wild and Now, which is a legendary
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: um production that you created as a young man. A
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: young man and I talked about that creating process, and
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: then then I have one a hiatus for six years.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: It was on MTV and with the MTV two nights
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: back on MTV. Yeah, I mean, honestly, to your point,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that's a perfect example of how one idea that nobody
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: believed in, that nobody understood it and I had to
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: invest my own money against my agent and my managers.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Everybody said, don't do it, is not gonna make sense.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: And what is an improv hip hop comedy show? And
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: so I've rented out a comedy club in l A.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Got all my friends together and you know, you know,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: people that nobody had ever heard of at the time,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: from Cat Williams, d Ray David's, Kevin Hard Come on, uh,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: all these people that I was just trying to hook
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: my friends up with jobs and now these guys are
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: multi millionaires today. Um. But yeah, and then you know
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: we cut to two hundred episodes later. Like you said,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: it's just a brand that doesn't stop because it speaks
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: to a generation and again and even in that world
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: of comedy is just showing that it's a new form
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: of comedy. It's a way that people can be free
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and loosen. Now even you know, with the online generation,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: were creating stars out of them too, and you know,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: elevating the branding and diversifyance on that many different verticals
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: from gaming to two restaurants to touring. I mean, use
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: the biggest comedy tour last year and we're going out again.
• 52:11

• 52:30
  Speaker 1: of things because you went into the Wild and Out,

  Speaker 1: brand that's already been uh tried and tested, and it's
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: also promotable. The thing about it, I like the fact

• 53:44
  Speaker 1: to capture an audience that's going to have a spending

  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I always encourage everybody to tap it to
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the philosophy that money and and currency is energy and
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: and really when you can come from a place of
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: positive energy and think about energy that's self generating, You
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: generated your your own generator. So to sit around and
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: just wait for someone is an old fashioned way of thinking.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: When you feel like you may not have a dollar
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: in your pocket, but if you generate, if you if
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: you realize your inner energy to create your wealth, it
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: will be ongoing forever. Three is like my ideas of
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: my other things that are invaluable. My happiness has been valuable,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: and it goes back to putting out that positive energy
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: because money doesn't make you happy, but happy makes you money.
