• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you have the ability, said they want to put you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in the position to do what you're doing. Now, tell
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: us about their journey, and then we're gonna go back
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to our history together to let everybody know this is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: not an individual who just got a shot. You've nurtured
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this through your your craft, through your education, through your
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: hard work. But tell us, how did this show, T
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: talk show come about? Well, it's CBS reached out. Um,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they asked me if if I want to do a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: TV show? And I didn't. I thought they said CBS.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I thought it was the drug store. I said nice
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and no CBS. Oh wow, yeah, that sounds cool. So
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and it began as a really as a as an
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: idea of a trio of a of a show. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: there was a bunch of people on the show doing
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a format similar to what you've seen, but there were
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: men and women, Me and two other uh, me and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: two women and uh went out there and they decided
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that they just want to do the show just me,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and so Fox said they want to give it a shot.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Fox put us up there for ten days and now
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we're in waiting phase of the game to find out
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: if Fox wants to move forward or if they want
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to keep doing what they've been doing. You talked about
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: gossip all day, right, right, So I didn't sit down
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: with an EP did you have that? Were you involved
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in the selection process of EP the storyline? So I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't involved with the selection of the stories, but I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was involved with the framing of the narrative. Um. They
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: gave me quite a bit of latitude in terms of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: discussing what I wanted to discuss and approaching that the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: problems from the perspective that I have. So they were
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: very very open to that, which was cool. Um. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: what was funny was after the first day of shooting. Um,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: midway through it, I should say, they just cut the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: telepomped off and said he ain't reading anyway, We just
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: wasted our man's not reading anything that we've written up it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So with the person who doing telepping go home now, Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it was cool. It was cool. Well, because that's great
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because you're doing it from your point of view. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: so I always tell people that a lot of people
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in television who have really got a lot of great resumes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: To produce talent, you have to let the talent win.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That's how you get long term success. If you're not,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm proud you did that because of the fact that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you have to rely on your natural instincts. That way, Steve,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you lose, you know why you you You did it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your way, You did it from your point and that's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and that's what it is. You know, when lose a draw,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it's like you know, you you meet a girl and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: she decides she wants to go in a different direction,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and you see with this dude and he's a clown,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and you think, yep, even if she didn't choose me,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: what she chose is so vastly different than me that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't even aspire to be that. I'm comfortable with
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: her going with him and not me. The same thing
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is true with this TV stuff. If they go with us, dope,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: if they don't, dope. I have a job. It's a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: good job. I get to work with children every single day.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm in our in our school in Harlem right now,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, discussing things that matter, like where what
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: building we're gonna be in school, and the box and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: taking a look at. Before I came in the office,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I was next door because we have a sub in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: there and apparently substilled means the same thing at always means,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: which is, who is your damn mind when you're in class?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: A kiden up some folks next door. So if I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: have to pause a conversation because I really do have
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a job where I really do still work with kids,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as you know as well about it. Just a little
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: short history on Dr Steven Perry and I, um, you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: know it goes back to Steve Harvey in our relationship
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: when I was a manager Steve and running the UH
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: all the charitable arms of the Steve as well as
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show. Whenever we had an education issue, the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: number one I'm one person I put on the phone
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was Dr Steve Perry. You know now I always appreciate that, brother,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and it's in this you know, You've always been cool
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to me and you've always been the same to me,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and I think what is most important in life. Recently
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: had something very very close to me and uncle mind
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: passed away. What um, what I've learned, what his passing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is confirmed, is that what we're really doing, Sean, is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: we are populating our funeral. Meaning the way you live
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: is the way you're gonna go out right and people
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: will remember you as you were. You can't. You can
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: only right so much of the narrative until at one
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: point the truth makes this way out. And as far
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as you and I go, you've been cool made and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and have always talked about you in particular specifically talked
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: about me needing to the your daytime TV afolutely. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that's the key to what I was just saying, is
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people put like you said, I want,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I want, I want kind of you start totally pall,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: no want to they exceeded. I will, and guess what
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you lose because I will have to be the I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: will do this. I will get up early, I will
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: sacrifice for my family, I will sacrifice for the for
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the my social life. I will sacrifice and sometimes in
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the relationship if they but you need to explain to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: them what while the sacrifice is being made. I will
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sacrifice for not living a lifestyle that that I could
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: live if I do that. And that's really the key.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: When you know, the most positive thing that I've seen
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is that you you managed to live a balanced life.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Because I've met his family, amazing wife, amazing boys, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and that's what I'm headed now in my life. You know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: when I stop managing Steve. That was one of the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: goals I wanted in my life. Steve was balanced because
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I was just on that wheel, just running, run and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: run and running, just just closing deals, closing deal but
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: never relaxed and never understanding the value that I could stop.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But you've always maintained that tell us the key. How
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: have you been able to maintain a balanced life in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: your path of success? So to be honest with you,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know that there's such a thing as balanced.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: There's alignment. And you'll understand what I mean. When you're
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: rocking with in their case of a beautiful wife and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: children who need you to not be part of your dream,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you will never achieve alignment. Your wife had to understand
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that my job is to be on the road. That
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: my job, but more importantly, it's my calling. So if
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you need me home, there's no way to balance that.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I can't be home and be out at the same time.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So what I what I seek to do is to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: be honest with myself and those around me. It's so
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: funny you say this, brother, So I was just saying
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to my side this morning, as you know, they go
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to Uh, it's really so trippy. Um we're riding in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the school today and um, I said to them, nobody
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: has given more for these schools than you have. Nobody.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: They've been nice that you wanted me home to tell
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: me something, to share a story that you have from school,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: or just show me a picture of something that you drew,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: or or just to sit and watch television with me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And I was not home and I can't from us.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be home for a little while. But you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: too have given so much that my hope is that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you see it as your legacy, not that you come
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and take over the schools, which would be dope, right
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: what father doesn't want that to happen, But more important
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that you build upon it and whatever you do in life,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that people see that you've got to leg up because
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you were part of something that you paid for even
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: before you knew you were packed. So for me, brother Sean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what I think is important is to be honest with
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: those people in our lives about what it is that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: our calling is and then that help them help them
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to understand what they were doing. Also, I have to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: be real, brother that I've been working with a long time.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: As you know, brother USI ta has said to me,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so funny we're having this conversation. So one of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the reasons why I did so, you know, you talked
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: about the Disney Dreamers Academy. The reason I did it initially, Rashan,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is because you have said, Bro, you out here running
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: across the country. Your kids all they see is that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you're gone. They don't know because it is before the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: TV stuff, you know, when you when you are doing
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: small gigs at home, just no, you're gone, and in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: their minds, glamorous right in their mind and then mind
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you know you had in my case, I might you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: would be at a small club of bar. I'll be
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: at a small college with fifteen students, you know what
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, fifteen students in Iowa. In their minds, it's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it's dad is going off and he's flying and doing
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and he's being treated. No, I am flying the worst class,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: not first class. I am landing wherever, and I am
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: driving in whatever to get and talk to whoever. But
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they don't know that, right. So he said to me,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you have said you need to allow your children to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: be part of some of this, and your wife too,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't always that way. Brother in the beginning
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and my cousins you say in the first beginning. In
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the beginning, I was off doing the travel and all
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that stuff, and I didn't tell my wife anything. I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: didn't talk to about it, and and um and much
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in spite if I'm being really real, because I thought
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: if she wanted to know, she'd be asking, and says
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: she wasn't asking. I didn't have anything to say. Hey, Doc,
• 13:05

  Speaker 1: direction and and leaving a place like Purview, being a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: uh to second lieutenant the United States Army and going
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on to a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: then being able to collect artifacts, documents, memorabilia from thirty
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: years of of traveling around the country and starting a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: museum and now those other kinds of things that I thought,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you know, make it all worth while. So that you know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: we as African Americans have controlled the history narrative. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: think that's the key to the future is being able
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to just demonstrate, you know, your history. Right. So when
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you talk about the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum, of course,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you know many years ago Bob Marveley in an amazingly
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: popular song called Buffalo right, and yeah, yes, sir, Yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: The museum actually opened January fifth of two thousand wounds.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And we focus on in feature the Buffalo Soldiers, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: in actuality we give a perspective on the African American
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: military experience from seven to seventy to two thousand are
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: from the Revolutionary War to the Persian Gup War. If
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you talk about personalities from Frescatics, the Cold and fouls
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and our miss our mission is to preserve, promote and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: perpetuated the honor and legacy of the brave men and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: women who fought, fled, and died in defense of America. Okay, cool,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Now they used the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum. Who are
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Soldiers? Yeah? The Buffalo Soldiers were the peace
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: keepers in the American with Uh. They bill camps, sports, railroads,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: delivered the mills, strung telegraph wise, charted the land, chased
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: down outlaws, common saros of Mexican revolutionaries. As a matter
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of fact, without the Buffalo Soldiers, the Restwood movements would
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: have been delayed, you know, fifty years. And just to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: put it in context, Uh, at the end of the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Civil War, the Harmy reorganized and established four segregated units
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that were African Americans, the ninth and tenth Cavalry and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the twenty four and twenty five Infantry, And those four
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: segregated units went on to become what we commonly call
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: now the Buffalo Soldiers. Okay, why why Buffalo Soldiers? Why
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: did that name become part of you know? Yeah, that's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the mystery. Now, I gotta I gotta drift down on
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: that now you know that's a good that exactly. The
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: number one question that we yet is that how did
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Soldiers get their names? And they came from
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the Shihenne warriors. They saw two things and the soldiers
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that they saw in the buffalo it was a naturally
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: curly hair and that Ferocian's fighting spirit, and they put
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: those two things together and they came up with wild
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Buffalo in the turn, while buffalo eventually became Buffalo Soldiers. Wow,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: so you said, like, I think that's earlier in your conversation,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you said, over thirty years you've been collecting. What have
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you been collecting? Oh, we have all types of unique artifacts, documents, memorabilia.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Is uh some of these The one of the kind
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: items you see at the museum is that a letter
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: from a Korean War veteran and African American who was
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the twenty fourth Infantry Regiment and he was in Korea
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and he wrote a letter back to his mom who
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: lives in brown Wood, Texas. And he opened up by
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: saying things are quiet here, I hope things are quiet
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: at home. And then he said, we heard today that
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: our unit was going to be integrated. Now that's a
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: very powerful letter because this is nineteen fifty one and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: here you have a black man in Korea fighting for
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the liberation of Koreans and I'm segregated on him. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that's a very powerful historical perspective to look at, and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: also how he reacted and how it was like, uh,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I guess uh, you know, I have to say it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a big deal because nobody won't. Because when you're separate,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that that that that applies that there's something wrong, there
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: is something that you know, there's something different about you
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that can't be. It can't be unless they say associated
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: or assimilated with everybody else. And that's what people that's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: what people don't understand about racism, about discrimination, about segregation,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: is that is that whenever you're not just black, why
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: anting whether it's cash structure, based on finances or whatever.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: You know, when you tell when you won't let everybody
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: participate or have the same opportunities to win, then that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a designation that there's something wrong with
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you that you should not have that opportunity. In the military,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: when you're out there fighting, laying your life on the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: line for the same cause, that even that should be
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: even more mind boggling correct. Oh yeah, yeah, And and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you know that's that's a very good point. Even though
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: they had the same times of the equipment and arms
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and all of that. You know, the army is basically
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a micro caused in love America. And so but I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: should say that the military was on the rang or
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of the modern bay civil rights movement. So that's important
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to note, you know, as a matter of fact, when
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you when you go back back to her favorite duckness,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and he made a very important point at the start
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of the Civil War. He said, give the was man
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a uniform, a buckle with the US on it, a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: button with an eel on it, and a musket, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you're making a citizen. But you're also making amend. That's
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is make sure the Civil
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: War was being fort for freedom and not just to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: save the Union. And the only way you can do
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that yet for the black man and the blue uniform.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And that same message carrot over to World War One
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: when du Bois said in the famous Crisis Magazine article
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: at the starting of World War One, he said, put
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: aside your differences, goal with these come back the first
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: class citizens. And in World War two, the same messages
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: came along as SI was called a double D for victory,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: victory against actors in Europe and victory against racism at home.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You know. So those were now at the end of
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: World War Two. The soldiers that came back, you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: were the individuals that supplied the funds, you know that
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: helped to move forward the modern civil rights movement. Well,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you know something by something that's that's called good thing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I get to go, I got got got that, I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: got the purse, get to what is that? What is
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the most? What's most are the fast story, misstory, part
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of fact, the US to the museum. That's that's very last.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: You know, lax child is the best child is the belt?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You don't can't you do that? You do that? Don't
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: you do that? But we but we had bron Bronze
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: above Buffalo, Buffalo so the old cold, the old so
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and it was done by Ediding, done by eddiething and

• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on new meatles especially going and special ability. What are
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you thinking in fact, what are you thinking? Abou bron

• 24:11

• 31:29
  Speaker 1: become an entrepreneur. Like you said, you your mom brought
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you up into business, you and your brother. You know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: so you had a clear understanding of what that lifestyle was.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Was that income, the income possibilities of what you can generate,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you know, to take care of your family, because we
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: all have bigger aspirations than what your family presents to you.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: How did you get in the barber business? And then
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: how did you start developing this product line? Absolutely so?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Um so. I mean I recalled being uh broken and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: frustrated college to it, and I wasn't quite sure what
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do with my life. Um. But I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: do recall, you know, every other Friday, I take the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: last twenty dollars that I had in my pocket and
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I'd go get it cut and I leave the barbershop
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: feeling like I literally could take on the world. Um.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: And I also remember my time from my mom's barbershop. Um.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: You know. So so these experiences, you know, I've witnessed
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: firsthand how grooming had the potential to help people feel
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: better about themselves. UM. And so with these unique experiences,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: specifically only my own barbershop, and noticing an issue that
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the customers had UM in our shop, uh, predominantly African
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: American and Hispanic men very dry frizzey damage here and
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: beards um always a pretty good problem solver went home,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Uh board with the daytime job. So let me back
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: up and say, um, let me back up and say
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: that the first job that I had out of college
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: was at a global design firm UM, and I hate
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: it it. UM. Then I moved on to working and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: find into the market research firm, and I hated that
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: even more. It was something about, you know, spending the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: rest of my life behind an office cubic who felt
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: like a death sentence UM. And I felt a little
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: so crushing each and every day. And somehow I knew
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: that I was supposed to be doing something more. UM.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So when I had the opportunity opened up the barbershop
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and spotted an issue. UM. And because I was bored
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: with the daytime job, UM, I became very passionate about
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: solving this issue that our customers had. And so every
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: UH weeknight and on the weekend, I'd be home learning
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: everything that I could about skinning here and and crafting up,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: crafting products and bringing back to the shops UM to
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: hand off to the barbers and customers to get feedback. UM.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: So that's how it all started. UM ended up, you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: really creating a set of products that the customers love,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: UM love so much that word spread and folks were
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: coming from New York in Connecticut to a little New
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: jer the barbershop purchasing products UM. And out of necessity,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: we had launched UH dot com to make it easier
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: for those folks to get products UM. And you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: six months into launching the business in the shop and online,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: UH from the kitchen of my home has did a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: million dollars in sales. UM ended up quitting the daytime job,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and UH did up also closed in the barbershop because
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: at that time I felt a little scatter brain UM
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: in that I had full time job is making products
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: UM every moment that I had, and I owned the barbershops.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: So I ended up closing the barbershop and UM quitting
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the job and focusing on Scotch quarter um, and you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: it proved to be a really great idea. UM. And
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: in the three short years that we've been in business,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: we've we've sold over four hundred thousand units in eighty
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: seven countries. Let's let's keep talking about that. Sure, how
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: did you come over with the name? Really cool? Um,

• 35:15
  Speaker 1: should should get into. Um. So, yeah, the culmination of
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of the things I love. Let's talk about the launching
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: this business because online has been like you on Amazon
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and you can go to your website, so just the

  Speaker 1: end barbershops across the country because you have two things
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: that you have the moisturizing and then you have the conditioner. Okay, yeah,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what's the difference. UM, So we have both in our
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: in our product. UM, nothing can nothing can moisturize the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: beard other than water. Water is the only thing that
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: can really truly moisturize a beer. UM. There are what
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: they call emollients UM that can help give the illusion
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: of softness. UM. But nothing can truly moisturize a beard
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: UM other than water. But there are some conditioning agents
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: in in our products as well. UM. So it does
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: help with moisturizing and conditioning the beard. UM. Conditioning the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: beard is UM. Conditioning the beard helps with like making
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the beard feel softer, more manageable, so it's easier to
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: comb UM and again moisturize moisturization is is basically UM.

• 36:57
  Speaker 1: in your products. I'm I'm looking at a website, uh,
• 37:01

• 37:05
  Speaker 1: really uh you know, you know, if you know, like
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I said, you can get a gift card on it
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: for seventy five dollars. So this is really good to know.
• 37:13

• 37:53
  Speaker 1: him a nice little seventy five dollar gifts gift certificate.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Hit and get you. Now, this is a really great guy.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Here's the deal is that I know you had something.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: It's for this is shave here, Okay, cool. Now, I'm
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: a guy. I can only use electric you know, because
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: if I use a razor, by face just blows up ugly. Okay,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: So what what do you what do you have the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: help of person I like me because I see sensitive
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: skin pre shave all is that something that I can
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: use or or or this is strictly for people who
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: use razors. Yeah, I mean some folks have used uh,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: some folks. Most folks are using our shave crane to
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: be honest with your shape cream and appreciap oil with
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: a razor. Um. And you know the whole point of
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: our shaving care line is is meant for folks with
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: sensitive skin. Um. So most shaving creams have contained surfactants
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and sulf fates in it. Hours happened to be um
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: sulfate free, so free uh, fragrance free um and it
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: it really does provide like this nice smooth shave without
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: the rite ship right. And I think most folks um
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: specifically Meta color, choose to use an electric uh an
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: electric shaver versus the race because of irritation and bumps.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely these products are the answer to that where
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you can still get that close shave with a razor
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: minus the irritation and bumps. He he is signature candles.

• 39:35
  Speaker 1: add is uh, because I used the shave cream that
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: just putting it right? Yeah, are you thinking about adding that?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Because man, I give you my money left and right

• 44:30
  Speaker 1: for you? Being inspired? What city? What state? They said?
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I want to do this for a little Well.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Chicago, and as a child,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: I've always been very active in sports and in the arts.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I did plays, um community plays as a kid and
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: end in school and I I kind of went back
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and forth between um acting in sports. That's very active
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: in sports. And my biggest influence growing up was Whoopi Goldberg,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Like I love Hippy Goldberg and it's so funny. As
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: a kid, I never realized that it was something that
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I could do professionally. It always seemed so far away.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Even though I did it to entertain I did plays
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: that I just never really connected the ducks, like, oh,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: you can actually earn a living doing this until I
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: was in my late teens, and once I was done
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: in high school, I started to look at acting more seriously,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out exactly, you know, how I could
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: do it on a professional level. Once I knew I
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: could do it on a professional level, and I started
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: auditioning for still auditioning for plays in Chicago independent films,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: and then there was excuse me, there was a movie
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that came to Chicago call Saved the Last Dance. There
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: was a big production coming from Hollywood, and at the
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: at the time, I didn't have an agent, but all
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the actors that I knew in Chicago was talking about
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: this movie. I had an audition, you got an audition,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: You got an audition. I was like, oh my god,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I don't have an audition. And at the time I
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: only had a commercial agent. And so this girl that
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I worked with and she was like, yeah, I have
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: an audition tomorrow for sable as Dance. I was like, oh, really,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: what time? And then she told me one time. I
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, who's doing the casting? Tell me
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: who was doing the casting? Where they were located. So
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: sure enough that very next day, I showed up at
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the audition and clearly they were looking for a certain
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: type and I was not it. So I stuck out
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: like a sore thumb, and the casting director she came
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: out and she said, does everybody here have an audition?
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: That was clearly for me, and um, you know, I
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: kind of got up, like can I talk to you
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: for a minute, and so um, I pulled over right
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and pull it over, but we kind of walked over
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: to the side and I was like, I don't have
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: an audition, but I really really want audition for this role.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: And she let me audition and then I ended up
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: getting the call back. And it was the whole thing
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: with my hair because I was wearing my hair and
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: NAT back then, but they wanted someone along straight here.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: So I went through this whole thing and trying to
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: find a wig. I didn't want to put a stew
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: in in my head. Back then, my wig was like
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: a mop because back then it was like lou were
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: talking like almost twenty years ago. So the wig like
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: literally set up on top of my head. It was
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: look awful, but I went back. I had to call
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: back audition again, they called me back again, and um,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: they wanted to be auditioned for a different role and
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: then call me back again. I met with the director
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and then I got a part in the movie and
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: that was the start of me earning enough money to
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: move to California, and um, after I worked on the film,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I ended up moving to California, and the rest is
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: kind of history. I mean, there was a lot of
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: different things in between that, you know. I went to
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the Academy of Dramatic Arts one summer for their summer
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: program prior to that, and I knew that I had
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: to get back to California in order to pursue a
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: career in television and film, and so I've always been
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: very goal oriented. So I wrote out all of my
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: goals and what I want to do, and it seemed
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: like everything was like falling into place. Like literally, even
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: from when I book say the Last Dance, I remember
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: meeting with the director, Thomas Carter, and he was like, so,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: what are your goals? And that was like the perfect
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: questions for me because I had all the answers. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: was like, I want to get my sade Car, I
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: want to you want to get at the Union I
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: want to move to l A. I wanted to be television.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I had like this this long list. I
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: was like completely ready and um, so after booking that film,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I moved to I had enough money to move to
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: l A. And um, you know, prior to that, as
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I was saying, I'm always in very goal oriented, So
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I was planning to get to l A. I didn't
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: know how I was going to get there. I'm very
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: familiar with Save the Last Dance. It's one of my
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: familiar It was as an interracial relationship as a young lady,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: as African American lead and a white mail lead and
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: uh and she was wanted to be a ballet dancer, okay,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: and then by going into the black community, she was
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: ostracized because you know, she was she had rhythm, she
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: was cool, and that was what she was dating, this
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: kind of popular black guy who was also tied to
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: a game, a game. So so it was one of
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: my favorite movies. Just that's why I know so much
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: details about it. So so I was like, you really
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: know the thing a movie it was. I would take
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: it when it came out because I was writing, I
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: was writing on storing sitcoms to time. My thought was
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: a silly concept. I was gonna watch this and I
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: became one of my favorite movies. And so, so what's
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: the one of the roads? Were you one of the
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: that the the the girls that didn't like her, or
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: which one did? Did you? Did your character make the screen?
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I did make the straight screen. I had one line
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: and I was um, I was one of the girls
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: who didn't like her and m his ex girlfriends. So
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: initially I auditioned for the girl, the ex girlfriend, and
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't get that role, but I ended up getting
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: like one of her friends. So I was just instigating
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: in the club, you know, our audition for one role
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: in my whole life, and I got it. Going to
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: the competing how do you land role? How do you
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: how do you win when you're going in the casting session.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I think you got to just go based off of
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the material. This is what I've learned from just being
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: on the other side. Sometimes there has nothing to even
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: do with your performance, because somebody could come in and
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: do a really great job. But as a writer, as
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: a creator, sometimes you just see the character as being
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: a certain way. UM. A lot of times you know
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: it when you see it. Sometimes it's just a person's
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: essence that it works. It's like that's who it is.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: So above all of that, you've got to be as
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: prepared as possible, um with the material, um and totally
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: believe in the circumstances that are written that it's written,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: and going in and just being free and doing the work.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: But ultimately a lot of times it boils down to
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: a person's essence. It boils down to what feels right.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Because somebody could come in and flood the lines and
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: be perfect for the role, and it wasn't even about them,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: like getting the lines right and being perfect. It was
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: just something about them feels right. They feel like that
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: character so or it feels like what we were looking for.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: The writer's like this is how I see it, or
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: the directors like this is how I see the character.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: That's him, and the actor could be like my audition
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: was terrible, but they don't realize that it was something
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: about their essence that was right for the part. So
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of different components that play
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: a part, and somebody's being being cast in the role,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: But the only thing actor can really can concern themselves
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: with is being prepared a being as prepared as possible
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: and believing in the circumstances that's written in the script,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: and going in and letting go and doing their thing
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: and letting it go when they walk out of the room.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: That's important. On the phone, you know, she's twenty years
