• 3:17
  Speaker 1: makes you special. Man. I got you for two breaks

  Speaker 1: field of entertainment. And and there's a show I'm gonna
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just tell you something, um, Survivor's Remorse. First of all,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just tell me what does that title mean before we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: get into the ny detail. What does that title meaning
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Survivor's Remorse. Well, it's funny because that the show's inception. Obviously,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: this show is is ultimately the brain child of Lebron
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: James and Maverick Carter. And as they've experienced success, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: my goodness, they've experienced it to such a great degree. Uh,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they've often referred to this see league of having remorse
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: because they've survived, survived their circumstances, and they've often felt
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: this pool to go back and to help and feel
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: bad when they can't do everything for everybody. So that's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: where the show's title comes from. It really ultimately comes
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: from them and a feeling that they've had over the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: years as they've grown and expanded their territory, and so
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they've often felt this survivor's remorse. Okay, I'm gonna just
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: tell you just right now, I'm talking to interviewed right now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Rico Lead on this one of the two stars of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the Stars series Survivor's Remorse. Rom Rico, you can talk
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to me about this show. I know you're serious. I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: watched this serious, So anything you want to talk about
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you can bring it up to me. I know all
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the characters. I'm not one of those guys just bring
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you on the radio. Know a little bit. I watched
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: this serious. In fact, my wife cried on the on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the episode after if people I'm gonna do it if
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they haven't seen this series, I gotta tell you this.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: But the mic episode after everybody was in the hospital,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: my wife cried on that episode. I look back at
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you got to be in episodes like this. It's just that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So you could talk to me about this seriously, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you about this series and other
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: things that you're doing in your life, but also the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: fact that when you when you get a character like
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: this man, and I'm gonna just tell you what I'm
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: gonna just tell you. When I watch you, man, you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's like impressive brother and and and and and and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and their layers in it, and I want you to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: tell me about it because some of them remind me
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of me when I when in my early years of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: managing Steve Harvey, because I was angry a lot, because
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I had nowhere to turn because everybody looked at me
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: for information and sometimes I didn't have the information. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: if you and you, if you're looking, if you're perceived
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to be the answer man. Plus you know, I managed
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: him in l A. So I was constanly surrounded by
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know that that that gang world, you know, because
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: everybody came to us, and so I see you step
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in and out of that a lot, and so so
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the did the drain on that character for you emotionally
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: tell me about it. You know, it's it's tough man
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and and the funny thing and people may or may
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: not know, but you know, Rashawn was you know, you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and I worked together when I first moved to l
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: A and I had so much to learn, and so
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I looked back in the late nineties to taken on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a role, to taken on a role like this and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: all honesty, man, if the way God works, if God
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: has shown me the amount of responsibility that the page count,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the emotional uh depths I'd have to go to for
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: this role, I don't know if I would have accepted
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it early on, just because I wasn't a percent sure
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that it was in me. But having said that God
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: never gets anything that you can't handle, it has truly
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: been beyond the blessing for me to explore this character,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to be given the free range to really explore it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and go deep. They've challenged me on so many different levels,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and really, uh, you know, just taught me that there
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was a a artists in me that I ain't even
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: know was there. And um and and that's really what
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this role has been. You know, the feedback, the you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the lack of positive African American males on television and movies. Uh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know it being able to portray this character and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: get the type of love that I get from the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: community is a reward that it's just I can't even
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: begin to tell you. Um, it just feels really great
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and um and it's just a testament to you know, uh,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: enduring the the you know this bi business in peace
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the valley and uh, you know, there's far more values
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in the our peaks. So when you can get to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a role like this and and be given the free
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: reigin to dig in, uh, it's just truly a bus
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and truly an honor. Right. You know. It's funny because
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: ron Rico mentioned my name early in his career and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: just get just just go a little deeper on that one.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Is that I was young producer writer on the series
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sister Sister, and UH had the opportunity to be in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the casting room and cast them to be one of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the love interests for one of the runs to the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: character they was Tarik Scott and and the thing about it,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and we developed a relationship off camera when he would
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: talk to me and come to me and he and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: one of the things that always always trip me out
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: about him was he always wanted to know what to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: do with his money. Yeah, he come serious story, Now
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you come to my time? How we sit down here?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Can I come and talk to you? Because you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm making a little money. I don't want to mess
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it up, and you know, and young actors don't do that,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: which means that he always had a plan that this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was gonna be his career and he didn't want to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: mess it up, and he wanted to know what the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: money he made, what to do with it? What was
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they want philosophy back then? Because I love the fact
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that you know I'm now doing and that's been my
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: crusade now is telling people how they advanced, how to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: tell people to move their careers forward. And I basically
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was doing this as a hobby way back then. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to say, Rico, you were my first client. You
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm proud to be of first plaan man.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I remember that day in Park Libre when I met you.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We went and had lunch. You took me to a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Harolin bells for the first time and uh and then
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: we went down to Santiago. You took me down to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: your one of your tailors and uh we but really
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: what I remember sitting down in in in your townhouse
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and I remember we got you got the newspaper and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: we started looking at stocks and I remember at the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: time you were very very heavy on a O L
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it always stands out and taught me how to look
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: at those stocks. Um and um. You know, it was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: just you had something, uh aura about you that really
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: drew me to you. And the beauty of you was
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: that you made time any time and you and I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: said it in a post earlier today, man sees that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you sold you You so season me that I still
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to this day, UH reap the benefits of things that

• 9:54
  Speaker 1: how you've never was again you said, man, never give
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: l A your money. I was always amazing the fact
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: that you had a place in l A, but your
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: base was still in Houston, I believe. And you had
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a whole system. You had You had a really nice
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: vehicle that you drove the work, you know, Monday through Friday.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: After we take you had a Suzuki side kick. I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: believe that you would drive to the airport and I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: remember thinking, like, wait a minute, you mean it's possible
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: for me to go back to where I was raised
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and still be able to have a career in l A.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And my my goal from that moment on was to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: do whatever I had to do to make sure that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: when it came kind of settle down to buy a house,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to get me have kids, I would be able to do.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You know that in Georgia because what Houston was, you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Georgia was for me. Uh you know, man, what you
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the time you took from me back being again. Man,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I was early twenties, so we're talking, you know, two
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: decades later, Man, I am still still drawing from that information,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: still drawing from that knowledge, Man, and I just had.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And that's just you know, that's just on the business side.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: There were things you imparted to me as an artist
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that I still to this day. You know, I never forget. Man.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You probably don't remember this, but you know when I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: started on Sister Sister, Sister Sister was the first four
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: camera show I've ever done. It was really the first
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: comedy I've ever done. For a lot of actors when
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you're when you come into that comedy where you're still
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: trying to get your feelings. You know, you're trying to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: trying to find your footing. And I remember you guys
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: cast Dion Richmond opposite right the same time Dian and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I got cast. They show yes and and came up
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in a in a you know, under the tulage of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a comedic genius with Bill Cosby, and so I found
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: myself and you noticed that what I started doing was
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: kind of aligning my comedy to Dion's comedy. I'll never
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: forget this. May or may not remember. We was at
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: craft service. You just can't tat me to show, said,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: let me touch you for a second. We when and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: we sat down and basically what you were saying to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: me was find your own voice. You know, we've brought
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Dion in to do what Dion does. We don't need
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you to do what Dian. We need you to do
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: what you do. And I remember feeling I'm not only
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: remember initially feeling hurt because as an actor you're sensitive, trapped,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: YadA yadi. But the more I thought about it, man,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: it was some of the most vital information that had
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: ever been imparted on me because what it urged me
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to do, what it pushed me to do, was to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: create what was my funny, not somebody else's funny. And Man,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: so I just want you to know that not only
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: from a business standpoint of financial standpoint, but just from
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a career standpoint, Man, you also imparted knowledge and so
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: sees in me that to this day I still draw
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: upon me. And I've never told you thank you for that,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: but I appreciate it, man, because you could have very
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: easily allowed me to continue down that path. And you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: know I never would have developed my own voice you,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: but you took that time out, man, and that's a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that's something God gave you, man, and it's it's listen
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: if you're If you've been a blessing to me, I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: can only imagine the other people, the thousands and thousands
• 12:53

  Speaker 1: oh day, you something man that episode And I'm gonna
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: let you talk because I want you to break down
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the steps because that had to be one of those
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: episodes where you had to go there emotionally and when
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you wrapped up, you couldn't do too many retakes because
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: in the basement boxing and your girl coming down the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: steps and you throw out that little cute little Joe
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: going up the steps. Nice teddy, Come on now, tell
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: us about that episode. Man, let everybody know why they
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: should be watching Survivors Remorse. That premiers this Sunday, August
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: twenty on stars and yet it also stars my girl
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to Sheena, who will be on the show later on today. Um,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you know, listen, Survirus re Morris is one of those
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: shows that it's unlike anything on television right now in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: my opinion, and um, you know, it's we've been fortunate
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: enough to to grow and it's kind of been a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: slow boy. When you look at the numbers, man, they've really, Man,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: we've really really really been blessed to have the numbers
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: just they all I think they they they almost you know,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: doubled by over from I think second to thirsty. So
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: we're continually growing. People are finding out about the show,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: people like you, you know, talking us up having the show.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: It raises awareness of the show. I think the episode
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that you're you're speaking to was the season finale last year,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and in all honesty, uh, they had given me some
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: indication early on of of that particular scene, but it
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was a couple of years ago, and so as an actor,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you kind of you know you're taking you all right, Well,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: if it happens, it happens, if it doesn't. So when
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it didn't happen, I kind of got away from it
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and uh and and never thought about it. And then
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: two weeks before we shot, maybe a week before we
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: were scheduled to shoot the Zeger Bruster put me aside
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and say, hey man, we're putting this scene back in.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, WHOA. So uh. You know, as a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't know when you get into the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: because the weekly grind of making a television show, you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: it's every week it's a new episode, and so it
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: becomes difficult to prepare because you're you know, you you're
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: shooting one episode. You gotta be thinking about the next episode,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: but you can't afford to not think about the current episode.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: So it was a lot. It was, It was a lot.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: It was. It was quite the challenge. Uh and uh,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the one thing I did do was I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was very much uh in the noah as to how
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: they wanted to shoot it. And so there were a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: couple of things that I just asked for that I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: felt would help me and just kind of in shooting it,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and that we didn't We didn't do a whole lot
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of coverage. We just simply kind of we got in
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: there and um, we kind of broke it down. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I did it one time all the way through with
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: this back, and we kind of broke it down. They
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: gave me a couple of points and I told him,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I said, looking for some reason, it's not feeling cohesive
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to break it down. We'll just go straight through it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You know, it worked out that way, Um, I think
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to go there. People always asked me, I mean, listen,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: when that episode aired. My d m s, whether it's
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Facebook and grand Twitter, were just literate with people that
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: had similar, you know, similar experience. And I was really
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: surprised by the women that were raising children that that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: we're having similar experiences. So I was getting it not
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: only from young men, older men that could relate to it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I was also getting it from women that were ultimately
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: affected by the assets of fathers in their in their
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: son's lives. And so for me, growing up in a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: two pairent household with a father that I absolutely adore.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It was very, very difficult, and so for the first
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: time I think I actually work with a work with
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: an acting coach and uh, and we broke it down
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: over the course of MAB. Yeah, what it was was
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and more importantly, how I could get there and stay
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: there and um and and and be present throughout that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: because again, people see what ultimately equation to eight and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I maybe ten minutes of on screen, but it's probably
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: boils down to about four and a half hours of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: actually feeling. That's a long time, you know, to to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: have to sustain. Uh, and so you have to be
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: aware of it. So that day, Uh, you know, I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: just really tried to stay to myself, um, but not
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: too much. You know, I didn't want to just be isolated.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, you know, I'm how to prayer a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: lot of just kind of letting go and just kind
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of yielding to what this experience was. You know, Now,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I am a father, and a lot of what I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: was able to draw upon it. I'm a father, I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: got two boys, and so what I was able to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: really do is kind of substitute. You know, what if
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I wasn't my boy's father, what if my what what
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: if my children's father was like the guy that I'm
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: sitting across this table looking from and and and and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you know, digging into and so once we you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we had to go through a couple of things to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: figure out what would kind of ignite that thing in
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: me and and we found out it would be trying
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to imagine my children being raised by an abusive father.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Uh and and not being there, not being present and
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: uh And as soon as we kind of hit that, uh,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of times, I think when it
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: comes down and the kids, you know, we always think
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: of women being you know, the mothers being very protective
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: emotionally and physically of their child, but actually fathers carry
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that same trade. And we we you know, we want
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to protect our children, we want to you know, love
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: our children. And so in the absence of being able
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to do that or imagine my kid's life, you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: without that type of protection, and then you add on abuse,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and you add on all the other things that Reggie
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: talked about in that scene, it became very easy to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: go there. Yeah, it was two things that really stood
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: out for being a scene. We're talking about a scene
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: in the series Survivor's Remorse where Reggie meets his father,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: uh and his father and it's not a very uh
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: happy meeting because his father is trying to trying to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: get back in good graces without Hey, hey, I'll recover.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to reveal any of this scene to anybody,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: but just give you the nuances of what this scene
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: is all about. But there were two things in this
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: scene in this scene that made it a brilliant scene
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to me. One was when the waitress kept coming into
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the scene and you said not right now, which is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: a classic scene that I've had when I'm doing business
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in the restaurant, and I went, wow, man, that was brilliant.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: They have this waitress come in here and you didn't
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: break try anywhere. Right now, be with you in a minute,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: not right there, be with you in a minute. Twice
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: she came in. And the other great moment in that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: scene which when you was patting your dad on his back, dude, dude,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: because the path they kind of kind of got a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: little heavy and then you pulled up. So so I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: like to know when that scene and then what did
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: he say about those paths on this back? Uh? You know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Marlon Young is a great actor. I've been a fan
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: of his work for years, and he's very much one
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of those actors. He didn't want me to to pull
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: pull pull back, man. He needed to feel it. You know,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: he's one of those actors, and he was certainly there
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: for me emotionally made himself available. But no, you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it was it was weird even writing to the set,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you know, and I have very little interaction. Uh you know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: we kind of wanted this thing to feel like a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: father and son that hadn't seen each other and you know,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: twenty many years, eighteen twenty years. But you know, afterwards
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it was just um, you know, it was it was
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: just one of those things, man, where two performers get
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: together and they connect and that it just becomes about
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the material. But yeah, no, the pat team wanted him
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: is hard, you know, he hard. I could add him.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: That's what he wanted, and that's what I gave a brother.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: That scene was phenomenal. But I was just gonna tell you, man,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the characters that they developed on this show, the Jupiter
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: character who was the football player, the character who was
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Advantagers slash pim Flash, I don't know what they were, Uh,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: tell us about the upcoming season, man, because I'm seeing
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the promos and you're getting in the fight here, look
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: like you're going back into the streets a little bit.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Tell us about the upcoming season here, f Rico. Uh, well,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you know, listen, we got we got ten episodes to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: cover a lot, a lot of a lot of territory.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So I think we do just that the show, if
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you look back on the first season to show us
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: continued to evolve. Thankfully, our audiences continue to embrace us.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Hopefully that will continue, because that's the best way to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: ensure we get subsequent seasons five, six, Hey, who knows,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: seven and eight. But but I think this season will
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: continue to continue to see uh, you see less of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the family dynamic. And I just say that. When I
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: say that, I mean you don't see as much of
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the family together as everybody kind of in their own worlds,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: dealing with their own issues and just trying to kind
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: of hell finding exactly perfect perfect find themselves. You know.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: For Reggie, uh, you know, the situation with his father
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: is something that we don't dwell on that much this season.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: But what we really see with him is she's trying
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to continue to grow that legacy and and and so
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: not Actually, what he's really trying to do this year
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: is focus more so on the Vans he and Missy's legacy,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: uh and and the and the The thing that happens
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: this season is, you know, what he kind of envisions
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for his future kind of bumped heads with what Cam
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: sees and the very interesting dynamic between the two of them.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Uh to Sheina Arnold's character. Uh, Cassie goes on a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: spiritual journey. Uh. You know, Cam continues his film, uh,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you know, continues his work through his foundation. He's still
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: growing and watched him actually take a very prominent role
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: uh kind of in what serves as our players union
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: on the show. Um M. Chuck continues to dig deep
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: into her past and feel uh and Missy does the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Missy still on that same trajectory of really trying to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: make sure that when Cam's career ends, uh, Reggie's career
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't end. And so you know, collectively, everybody's just kind
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of on their own separate journey. Um. And it's you know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a testament to the writers
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to kind of take a show and kind of deviate
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: from its initial inception. I think when it was first sold.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It was sold as a thirty minute sick cop and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: it's become it's become much more than that. And it
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: really is, it really is. And sadly, you know, there
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: are so few of those that they already categories for
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: dramed ease. I think if there were, you know, Survivor's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Remorse would would get even more critical acclaim than what
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it currently does. But right now we're a show that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I think, UH will spawn other shows in the future.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Uh to say that just because your thirty minute comedy
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't really delve deep into you know,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: some real emotional storylines that that will make people cry.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: But then on, like you said, a scene later will
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: have you cracking up, lasting like my wife crying, you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: but just for a good reason, because the characters are relatable. Rico, man,

  Speaker 1: the kids chef is this and I'm calling you chef
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: chef well, chef j Dub. The thing is is that
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you are a brand. And I try to bring people
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: on the show because people want to know how to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: get products on the shelf. People want to know how
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to get on TV. And one of the things that
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you show right away personality. Just because you can cook
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: a bake, people still want to have a personality. You
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: gotta have to the all of all of it you do,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and that's what a lot of people don't realize, even
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: when it comes to to restaurant to everything you can
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: get in the kitchen and you can burn all day,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: but if you're trying to transition into something else, you
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: have to be able to take your personality to that level.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Just because I give you a great meal doesn't mean
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: that my my appearance, what I say, what I'm doing,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: contranscend over into your home. And that's what I wanted
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to start doing years ago. Was from owning restaurants, I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: saw the bigger picture as far as I didn't want
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to just wait for consumers to come to my restaurant
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and eat. I wanted to be in their kids and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: cabins when they open their doors. I wanted to be
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: on their bookshelves, on their on their coffee tables. So
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: what I did was I worked on building up what
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I would call my culinary point of view and and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: my colory point of view. Really at the end of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the days before fake family's food and fun, and what
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I do is I transcend, and I make it relatable
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to everybody where, everybody in someone's household. Regardless of who
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you are, you gotta chef ginnardio homes and when I say,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: you gotta chef you that makes me more relatable and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: makes makes you more open to bringing me into your home.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And so what I did was the first thing I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: did many years ago, was roach started writing my first
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: cookbooks and those originally got me in the doors. And
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: then from there it would lead on into me creating
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: my manufacturing company. Because when I said that I wanted
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: to be on I wanted when somebody opened their cabinet door,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the first thing they saw was one of my products
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and the refrigerated And guess what I stayed on their
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: mind then? And so tell us about your products. Okay, um,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I have, man, I have so many lives of different
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: products of but but it's been a long journey. My
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: first thing is le shepal Mars Hope within. Currently our
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: products are and six over six hundred stores across the
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: United States. We specialized in making going the hot sauces,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: barbecue sauces, hot sauces, all natural spices and season But
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: what I did was when I created those, I wanted
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to create a line where you could take my products
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: straight from the bottom and pour it on anything or
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: marinating anything, and you didn't have to do anything else.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: And everyone wants to wants to quit six as well
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: as we're operating down the millennial world. And that's how
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: custom built the line. And I started to I started
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: it over nine years ago, and people wonder how I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: got in stories and how I got in that many stories,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't an easy task, but it was. Well
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: when did you start? You said, yeah, I used I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: lunched the manufacttion coming nine years right there. Don't don't
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: don't run past that nine years because people want to
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: it to happen instantly. What I'm saying, so you built
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: your brain to be at this number of stores, to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: be able to make an appearance of Williams Sonoma. Okay,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: you know these are these are top store lines. And
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: so it's because you said nine years and you blew
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it off because you've said it so much. It's part
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: of your conversation. But people need to understand that a
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: journey to success is never overnight. That's a lot of okay,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and the lot it's no guarantee there. You're trying to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: build fast, absolutely, and so tell us about your career
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: that nine years man, because there's a lot of doubts
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in there. There's a lot of people said, hey, man,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: chef of love. What that means, Who's gonna Who's gonna
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: believe that the chef of oh Man, You know, it's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: funny you say that. I had so many people to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: tell me that I needed to get rid of that
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: because I coined the name the Chef of Love. Over
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: eighteen years ago I wrote my and then later on
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: ten years later after that, I wrote my first cook
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: with But see, I started out cooking at the age
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of sixteen. As a matter of fact, that's when I
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: opened my first restaurant up. Oh my first restaurant up
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: at sixteen, which later lay it on to having nine
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: restaurants over my my career span as of right now.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But from there, what I did was I stood on
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: what I believe and there was several core values, as
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I said, my four else and I never changed that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and the same is still true. And a lot of
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: people saying a street saying, But the saying is get walt,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: hustle and stick to it and then'll pay off. I
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: see why you've been on TV. I see why you
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: want because guess what, you have a conversation to match
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: your personality, plus you have a matching drive and you
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: have a plan to win. And then when people question you,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you look past them and that's you know, people used
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: to terminology you haters and then you look, you look
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: beyond the haters. And I know because all my life,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you go when you when you live the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: life and me you know their terminologies like that that
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: that come and go. But in the end, I feel
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: fortunate to have you on the show because I get
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: back and let you do what I want people to hear.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Motivate people, tell people they can win, and let people
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: know that if anybody tells you you cannot be successful,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: walk away, absolutely absolutely, and you should never let people
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: put you in a box. And when I always tell
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: people when they're using the terminal to think outside the box.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Let's say, for you're thinking outside the boy, just get
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: out the box. Because the thing is, as long as
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you're thinking outside of the box, guess what, you're still
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: on the inside of the box, just thinking outwards. So
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the kids is eliminate the barriers, step outside of the box,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: do something beyond your comfort zone. Because what I learned
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: over this journey is people tend to want to box
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you in on what their fears are if they haven't
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: achieved that. I can't do it. They want to instantly
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: tell you that you can't do it because they're only
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: rating you against what their success is. And I learned
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: that when when I started out, when I launched my
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: manufacturing company up. You know what I did. I went
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: from store to store personally doing my own pitches to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: get it in there, and and and and and and
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to be honest, I came up with a creative idea.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I learned back then that if you were going to
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a store and you asked for a product, it was
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: that stoes for do very interest to bring that product
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in there. So guess what I did. I took off
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the hat at Chef Guinard and became the business man.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: So I would walk into a store one of my
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: bottles of sauce. You know what I would You know
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: what I would tell them. I would say, Hey, um,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: this is a realist sauce, and I get it down
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the street at the Localst. Farmer's Market, but only go
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: there on Sunday. I shopped at your store almost every
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: other day. Would you'll be interested in carrying this sauce
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: so that I can buy from you? I never told
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: him that I was the one who owned it, you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And they okay, give me the giveing the UPC code,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the company name. I give the UPC code and the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: company name, and guess what they call in the place
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: that order. You know what I would do after they
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: called me and say, hey, we got the audience that
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you wanted, I would go in the store and I
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: would buy five bottles of them, because after I've had
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: an order caation, then I would send other people and
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: go in and purchase their falls off the self. But
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: they buy the mup guests. What I do? I go
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: back and say, hey, I'm all out. But which is
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: doing how you have to do it? But people understand
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: he has a he has a code. It's not calling
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Pooky house and then your mama driving up there with
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: a box. Now this is a professional level, so you
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: can have to have things in place in order to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: make that particular call that he made. In other words,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: he playing for success and then he figured out a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: way to be able to take advantage of the options
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that were available to him. And that's really what this
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: is all about. This is all about chelf. You know
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the things about it, your success and they're telling me
• 38:39

• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Absolutely first and foremost of Sean, I want to say
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: thank you for allowing me to be on your show.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I'm calling in from Richmond, Virginia, or as my mentor
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: says rich Man, Virginia, I am a native of Bronx,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: New York. I served as the chief connecting officer why
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Be Connects, which focuses on teaching individuals how to establish
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: a solid network through effective communication, leadership and networking skills
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that we focus on helping our clients to attract their ideals,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: client or employment situation. Uh you know it's it's funny
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: with Sean. Five years ago tomorrow was the catalyst for
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: me launching wide Be connect. I was actually laid off
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: from a nonprofit position and as I was leaving that office,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I prayed to God that he would deposit within me
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: something that would allow me to live for him while
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: using the skills and talents that he's given me the
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: impact people. And that's how rod be Connects got started.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: So how did you get engaged with LinkedIn? So? I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: started using LinkedIn and the chief in two thousand five.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I was working with a nonprofit organization and I was
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: responsible for fundraising and friend raising. I mean, I was
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: looking for volunteers to help us go into schools and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: serve as a speaker for speakers girl and so I
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: use LinkedIn as a way of keeping in contact with
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: those that I met at various networking and days. Since then,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I've been able to build these relationships over the years
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: to not only help me and my business, but to
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: help others in their business. What are the advantage because
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just ask you straight questions, you know, and
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: act like I don't even know the platform. Then I'm
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: gonna jump in and act like I do know. The
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: thing I like about is it important when you post
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: on LinkedIn like you could like to get comments? And
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I also give views, you know, because are the views important?
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: The views are very important, especially if you're a small
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: business owner. You want to know who is being attracted
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: to your post or to your to your your your
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: your process as people are looking for you when they
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: come to your page, because from there you can establish
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: the relationships with institutions that will allow you to do
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: more business. I love looking at the views because for
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: me and lets me know who is interested in what
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I'm posting. And I continue to post those things so
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: I can kind attract the people that I'm looking to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: work with. Yeah, because I've just let everybody know exactly
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about on LinkedIn. You know, it gives
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: you the ability, Well, I what I used to deal like,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, I'm on Facebook, I'm on Instagram. I
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: really don't know who I'm talking to on there. That's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that's the basic feeling that because it could be my grandma,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: could be my mama's sister, could be my nephew, could
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: be just nobody out there, but on LinkedIn, I get
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: a sense that I'm talking to like minded individuals who
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: are trying to achieve a professional or business career opportunity.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong in saying that that's correct? That's absolutely correct.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: You know, most people are using linked In to enhance
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: their professional brand so that they can not only attract
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: an employment opportunity, but they can attract their next fine.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: And so they put their best foot forward when producing
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: their profile, which is important because you know, if you
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: don't have credibility, people won't be business with you. So
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: most people will put there too self on LinkedIn because
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: to attract their next opportunity. Yeah, and this is what
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: excites to me about LinkedIn. Everybody, if you don't have
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: a LinkedIn account, please start one today. I get no
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: money for saying that. I'm just telling you the advantages
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and the comfort zone that LinkedIn has given me. When
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I post a linked In picture or banner, I immediately
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: get these out of it. It tells me who's watching it,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to tell me what companies that are watching it. It
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: tells me, uh, the type of people where they sells people, CEOs,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: executives that are viewing it. It also would tell me
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: what cities that I'm viewed the most popular in, like
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: New York and like my strongest cities are Atlanta, Houston,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: and New York and Los Angeles. Those are my four
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: strongest city. I always get high view ratio and I
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: think it's tied to me and being an entertainment also
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: because that's that's where my strong base is in New York,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: l A. Houston is where broadcast the show. I'm from
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Houston and also live in Atlanta, where the cause of
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvard Radio network was based in Atlanta. So I
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: understand that. So when you're trying to monetize this, how
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: do you How can one monetize opportunities on this particular network.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: So so money money is created when you connect the
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: consumer to a particular productal service. And so the key
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: is not the producal service, it's the relationship with the consumer. Right.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Once you've identified who your target market is, who your
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: target audience is, then the next step is to build
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the type of relationships that allow you to have no
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: like in trust. Once you get past the no like
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: and trust you have the poor you can find out
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: what the needs and wants of those individuals are, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: then you can proceed to connect them to your prodical service,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: thus monetizing your linked in profile. Now, should you be
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: selective on who you're allowing to your network or just
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: build numbers? That's a great question of Sean. When I
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: first got started, I was building numbers because I didn't
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: know anybother. But now, what I teach my clients is
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: you want to vet everyone who invites you into their
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: network and ain't to your network. So if you send
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: a request, it is important that you attached a personalized
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: message with your request so that the recipient knows why
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: you want to connect. And on the opposite side, it's
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: important to vet each individual who invite you into your
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: network so that you can at least know who they
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: are and why they want to connect. This is critical
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: because the start of a relationship is the most important
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: part of the relationship, especially when you're dealing with people
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you don't know. Awesome, Uh, can you be a regular?
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Come on? Why I be? Why I be looking? At man?

  Speaker 1: that's important. To me, and I wanted to get that
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: out and we'll talk about it later on when we

• 51:22
  Speaker 1: there for her, not only as a you know, an employer,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: but a friend and understand the things that she goes
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: through to you know, live a quality of life every day.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: And it's important. But let's go back to the star
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: power of you, young lady. You got two TV show
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: to TV shows. Well, God has blessed me to keep working. Lord,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Now here's the deal. Here's the deal, and you do
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: keep working. Now, people if they are not watching Daytime Divas,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: which is uh, it's from the It's from Star Jones
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: who used to be from the View and she wrote
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: a book called Satan's Sisters. And I know Star Jones
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: because shar Jones with the college with me at the
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: University of Houston. And then and then it's executive to
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: produced by Susanne the Past, who gave me one of
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: my first writing jobs on Sister Sister sitcom. Okay, so
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: so no, we're all in this thing now. Now your
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: character is a comedian and basically I'm just let everybody
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: know if you've seen the talk, if you've seen. The
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: view is that's that's set up, but the story is
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: off stage. That's the story exactly. It's what happens in
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the women's lives outside of the talk show. But you know,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the one thing about those group of women is that
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: they all will have each other's back, so they met
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: with each other. They don't want anybody else to mess
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: with you, so you know, they take care of each other.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, it's it's um. It's definitely based
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: off of them Guard Jones book, Satan's Sisters. Now that
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: the cool thing about is that your care actor went
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: on a little journey because your character and if I'm
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: saying that there, roll you could correct me. Your character
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: was all about you in the beginning. Okay, it was
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: all about you. You know. It's all about you know,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: trying to get that that left chair, you know, left chair,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and all about what it's gonna be about you after.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: You know. I watched the show and I'm a fan
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: because of the fact it's it's a well written show,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and I love the fact that anytime I see a
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: show with strong African American characters and that show has it.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: And also I like Shaun's character that used to executive
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: on the show. That's a strong diverse character emotionally for me.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: And then Vanessa, we come on, you got Vanessa Williams.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great cast of people and we
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed I'm doing, you know, playing those roles, you know,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: because this is a brand new show, um, and it
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: was stars vision and I'm happy that, you know, the
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: share her vision is literally playing out right, you know.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: And the and the cool thing about the shows that
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: they have celebrities on the show. It's like, you know,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: like when you ran into uh, Tomarry Maori at the
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: at the at the at the at the clothing store,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: y'all was fighting over that shirt and so and so
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: she told you ain't got no job on the rail
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: and got no job on the rail. Now you know,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: you better get your butt back on that show. And
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: so my whole thing is that when you get these roles,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: you know, because you're you're a talented singer, you know,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: and then and then you're you're funny, you're attractive, and
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: then you and then you then you're dramatic and all
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: these things. And so so if you watch the series,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you start out and guess what and you're
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: a woman's woman. You know you, you know you, you
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: you let everybody know you still got it going on,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: you still find And I think that's import Guess what.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: And I think that's important because sexy don't die. Well,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say sexy. You know, I always chose comedy.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Comedy came natural to me. And I really love doing drama.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, you gotta get ugly for comedy. But
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I love about it. You know, there ain't no time
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: to be playing no cute games, right right, right, and
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: and that's what happens in this series, and so and
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: so in the last series. In the last episode I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: just saw was the episode where this is what I
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: was talking about, the journey of your character. And I'm
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the show because I'm not trying
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: to reveal, you know, key plot points in the show.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Because I feel everybody should watch the watch started tonight.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: If you have not seen the series from the beginning,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: you can being watch it just go on demand and
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: being watched. The show is well worth it. You will laugh,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: you will you. The characters are very relatable. Vanessa Williams
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Diva role is fantastic. It has selations She's just an
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: awesome person. I love the word selations, plot lines. I'm
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: talking about these characters. They go be y'all, just normal behavior.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: But I love the fact that in the end, when
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: you came back and defended Kippy character, you know, you
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: saved her character. And that's what I was saying, is
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: that your character is more than in the beginning, you know,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: use about you and I And that's when you stopped
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: you in the hallway. She said, really, you about somebody
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: other than you? Tell me about that journey. And when
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: you take these roles, are you looking to develop your
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: characters or just be funny and do what they tell you? No, no, no,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: never just be funny and do what they tell you.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: That is never the key to success nor being happy
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: at what you do. Um, I have to like I
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: was asked to do this, to to this role, you know,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: and play the part of more, which is always a
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: pleasure because when you're asked to something, that means they
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: trust your opinion and what choices you will make. And
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: with mo, I just it's just the character screamed out
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: of me. I just laughed and laughed, and I saw
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: that she had a lot of hearts, but I kind
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: of love the fact that I was you know that
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: I would be hated a little bit by a lot
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: of people, which was cool too, But it's somewhere there's
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: a reason. And first, you know, there's always a deeper
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: there's a deeper layer to every character, and the layers
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: that uh that that MO has really uh intrigued me,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: which was one of the reasons why I really really
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: wanted to play the role. Um. And that's what I'm like.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, everything is in the writing, you know, and
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: black women we need to be We were so many things,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: so we should be represented correctly. And uh, that's always
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: a fight, you know, it's always you know, you gotta
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: keep that integrity. But that's me as a mom, me
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: as a as an actress, me as a survivor of
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: being a show business so long. You know, people call
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: me a legend, but you know, I'm a survivor. I've
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: been able to be in the industry over thirties six years.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people come and go. But
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I wake up every day loving what I do. God's
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: bless me to to do what I love doing, and
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I respected, so I put it in high regard. So
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat it that way. Well, that's the show
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: we're talking about right now, because we're gonna talk about
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: other show, Survivors Remorse, which premierors this Sunday, August twenty
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: stars we're talking about here currently is her other show
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: that's on v H one. You can watch it tonight.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: It's called Daytime Divas. And one of the things that
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I like about the characters, there are strong female characters.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: They are diversed. But one of the things that you
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: said something in your speech is the fact that you
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: are a mother. You're a single mother, you know, and
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: that that so what you do on screen plays an
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: important role to what your daughter sees. Is that correct?
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Most definitely I had a you know, when my daughter
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: was younger, I had a rule. You know, if she
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: can't watch it, I don't take the role. Now she's older,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: you know, she can stomach more a little more because
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: got a couple of moments in that truck. You know,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: even if she was young, I still would have taken
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: the role of mole because um, it's just the way
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: they are. They're developing the character. But I always said,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I have to take full responsibility for my
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: position in life, and that is I am a mother first,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: so I have to represent myself correctly as best as
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: I can. Now, you know, I also have a lot
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: of young people out there that look up to me
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: and that are looking up to me like my fellow
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: you know, actors that look to me. You know, Hey,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: you survived as long. How can you help us? So?
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: How can you? So? I The best way I can't
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: help anybody else is helping myself. And that's making the
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: right chart. Try to make the right cho and you
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: make the right charge over and over again. I try,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I try. I tried so hard. I'm taking something. You know.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: When I've asked you to come to the Neighborhood Awards
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: or the Hoodie Awards, You've come there, you know, And
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: that's that's giving your time because you knew that made people?
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Are your fans feel good that you care about them?
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Did you have time for them? Where will we be
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: without the fans? And as long as they enjoy it,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: they keep us working, So why would we not? Now
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: I was reading something about this. You have something that
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: you do with your daughter on Instagram is called morning
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: school playlist. Yeah, school morning for a list. That's what
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I caught yeah. I started that because my daughter, she
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: is just so talented. She really is. She has a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: lot of gifts. God gave her the gift of a dance,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: she gave her the gifts a song, and now she
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: wants to do some more acting. So I said, okay.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: But I was a single mother, so starting out, it
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: was just like, oh my god, we're fighting in the mornings,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: trying to get dressed with the school. And I said,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: somebody has got to feel my pain right now. So
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: how do I turn this around? How do I make
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: this a pleasant experience for both she and I? And
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I said, you know what, maybe let's turn on some music.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: And I started turning on music and she just learned
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: all these songs. She listened to music all the time.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, let me start recording
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: it sharing it with people, and I mean, it just
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: got such a great response from people, people like, all,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: can you please put some more videos up? You know,

  Speaker 1: an African American standpoint, is one of the best shows
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: I've seen in my life. I gotta say this because
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: it's a drama d and I say that because very
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: few shows have the ability because we want to know
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: where the classic drama is Mash Mash is one of
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: the all time great classic drama dy series in television history. Well,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: one minute you're crying, one minute you're taking on the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: emotional journey, and then the next minute you're laughing and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: you're finding every character relatable. And that's what the key
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: of this show is all about. And you play a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: single mall on this show to m Chuck and to
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Cam and camras the basketball superstar. Who's who think that
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: this family would migrated down from Boston, Dorchester's their community
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: to live in Atlanta, so they're coming down the whole
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Atlantis new experience. I'm just I'm just I'm just painting
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: the story for him so they won't be lost. You
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: start talking about, I need to take you on the road.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I love this show. I love this show. My wife
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: has cried twice on this show. She cried. She cried
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: when Uncle Ju die. You know that car accident. Whoa?
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: And then and then the hospital scene, whoa? I'm telling
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: you and then you know, I'm just letting everybody know.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go in detail because you need to,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: as they say, start bench watching, watching the series this
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: week so you can be ready for the August premiere
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: on Stars. Yes, tell us about your character Cassie, who
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: now has a relationship with Shin. Yes, And I'm just
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: gonna give you a little backstory. Um Chen is played
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: by Robert Wool, great actor. He came on, we had
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: a scene together, and the scene that we had together
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: just was so he just did so well. And I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: would say, you know what, I really really want to
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: delve a little. I want my character to um double
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: a little deeper into this relationship because for so long
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: I have not seen on television black women adorned, truly loved.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, I want him to,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: you know, truly love her and show his love for her.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: And what better way didn't have a billionaire love you?
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: So um you know it's and that's every woman's fantasy
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: to be loved like that. So I said, let's let's
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: do it. And and Michael Mallley, the good thing about
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: him is that he's not the executive producer. But every season,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: you know, we as actors, we individually sit there and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: we go in the writer's room ending of each season
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: and we talk about what would we see our characters,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: talk about our storyline. So your survivors Remorris is you
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: know a lot of our input as well, because you
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: know we we you know when you put a character
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: but for so long, you know, it becomes a part
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: of you. And of course you wanted to see a grow.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: You want to see no different, you want to experience
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: different things. So that was one of my things with Cassie.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: But this season, the amazing Isaiah Washington who is coming
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: on and he just comes on and just now he's
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Cam's father. Correct, Yes, He's Cam's father, Okay, and now
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: and that that's how this last season end where you
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: want to visit him in jail. Correct, Okay? Cool. So
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna reveal too much. Yeah, you don't
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: want to take that. So many different this year, You're
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: gonna see so many different plots and story lines. You'll
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: still see us as a family cohesive, but you know
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: we are. Yeah. Well, the key the thing I liked
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: about I like about the series is, first of all,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: when I was talking to rod Rico is the anger
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: because it's a family. You know, you got money now
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: didn't have money, kind of little hoodish, little hoodie. You know,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: I got got of the hood. But you but you,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: but you respect you respect your son. Now you have
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: two children. Uh, let's break down to the listener and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: to the view about your child. IM Chuck which is
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: short for Mary Charles. And then Cam who's the basketball
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: superstar who was signed to play basketball at the for
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: the A lot of Hawks. Yes, now, UM, they both
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: as we established that UM I was raped, gang raped
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: by um one of them Chucked, Well she you know,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: she went down that path of finding her father, M Chuck.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: And then UM Cam's father obviously now is Isaiah Washington.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: So UM I have two children that are obviously completely different, right,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: but um who love each other and who um who
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: are basically on my life, you know, as with any
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: other any mother, you know, we make our children our lives.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think Cassie does puts Cam in
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: a position because he is the moneymaker he is, you know,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: but she's still her son, and I don't think she
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: ever loses sight of that. So she's always going to
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: give him her honest opinion. She's never going to uh
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: steer him wrong. Right now, her opinions that can be
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: a little different sometimes, but it's because she's been through it,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: you know, because she's she's overcome a lot of different obstacles,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: so you know, she she has the right as the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: matriarch of the show as well to um, let's just
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: say speak come on, and she has no Cassy has
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: no problem doing it now is because whatever you do,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: because this is the drama side of the series, and
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: when you start getting involved with deaf scenes and and
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: still have to be funny. And you know, because one
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: singe has written said and the other things, you have
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: to deliver a funny line to break the ice. As actress,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: how do you build on that? How did you create
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: that moment um? You go with the moment, you believe
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: the moment. You know, Um, all of us as actors
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: on the show, we all insert a little bit of ourselves.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I know that I do try to with every role
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: that I take so that I will be believable. But
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: you insert a little bit of yourself and you try
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: to identify with what's going on in the actual scene.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: And we have great writers. You better believe you've got
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: great writers. When you have good writers, that is always
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: a great combination. So because of our writers and because
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: of you know, our executive producers, and because there's such
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: a great vision for the show, and we try to
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: play that vision out as best as possible. It makes
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: it a little easier. And you know, like I said,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: it comes, you know, a lot of it is our
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: own input. Now it's a little easier being harder to
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: play and you know, you know, being a sitcom writer
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: and no one what you have to do. And that's
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: why I just love First of all, I gotta have talent.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: And when you looked at cast, such a talented, talented cast.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: When the show came out, the big fan fare was
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: it was Lebron James executive produced. That's what that was
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: the hype on that. And I'm just telling everybody who's
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: listening or who's watching on my Facebook page and who
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: will here played back on my Heart Radio podcast that
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: this is a show that is incredibly funny, a cast
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: that is very relatable, and the diversity on this show
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: is amazing. And the thing I like about the show
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: is that when I go to m Chuck, I see
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: an averry young lady, but a beautiful young lady, and
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: she's trying to find herself. She's in a lesbian world.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: You know, she has a major voice, but she's she
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't even know who she is. And the season end
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: with her trying to find her father. That's how the season.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: That's that's the season for storyline. Correct. Yeah, so that's
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: one of them, and then and then you have and
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: then the other storyline just setting the tone for storylines,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: not Cam. I'm assuming you one of his story lines
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: is gonna be his relationship with his father. Correct, two
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: kids pursuing their past with their father. Okay, cool. Then
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: if if if he's going to pursue his relationship with
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: his father, then once his father, Isaiah Washington comes in
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: the world, that means there's gonna be some connectivity with you. Correct, yes, correct,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: without me telling the storyline, which means there's going to
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: be a problem with the billionaire. Not good, look, you
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna get it out of me. And then you
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: got Reggie and Missy who plays his wife on the show.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: And Reggie is the cousins who's also the manager because
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Missy is so busy trying to make sure he has
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: a career outside of Cam, and Kim's fighting with that
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: because guess what the reason he's hit is because of Cam. Yep, yep.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna see that a ship dynamic. It's some
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: great tell you something I would tell you something. I
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: am a faith you are really listen. You are proving
• 1:12:12

  Speaker 1: money making conversations. The owner of Principal Jets, Charles Robinson,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: how you do so well doing this, McDonald, thanks so
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: much for having me. Okay man. The first thing that
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: when you hear the word private jet, and I'm gonna
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: just tell you because it's becoming more and more normal
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: to a lot of people and travel. You know, it's
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: people I can't far that, and I'm not trying to
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: say that everybody can afford it. But when people start
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: flying first class, they and if you fly, if you
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: flying first class and a group of y'all going in
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: the same direction, you pretty much can fly first class.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: You can go private, correct, Absolutely, It depends on where
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: you're going, how many people you have, and what type
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: aircraft you're using. But but by all means you're you're
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: getting pretty close. If you have a group of people
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: flying first class, you can definitely consider flying privately. It's
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: not beyond the realm of expectation, expectations in terms of cost.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna just tell you this. I'm gonna talk
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit private jack conversations. Why why I like
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: it when I do it? First of all, the plane
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: don't lead to you tell it to lead. In fact,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: you ever late for the plane. Okay, you got that flock,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: you bought that flock private jet. It's at one o'clock,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: you get there one thirty, it goes still be waiting
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: on it. Okay, the player will be waiting for you. Absolutely. Second,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: don't nobody patch you down. Don't know body pat you down,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Nobody going your underwear, Ain't nobody kicking off your shoes,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Ain't nobody touching your head. All that's cool with private
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: jet travel. And the other thing is that the person
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: is sitting across from me. You know him exactly, you
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: know him. I can't tell you how often I fly.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: I got somebody'll enter your away from my skin, and
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: I don't say nothing to him for four hours. Right, Absolutely,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: that's commercial travel. Yeah, that's a really good point about
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: the security and t s A and all of that
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: flying privately. That's one of the benefits of flying privately
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: is that you don't have to go through all that.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: You save time from that end the hassle. So it's
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: a it's a win win in a in a couple
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: of different areas. So, so tell us a about your background. Okay,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm from a little small town in Mississippi, ridly in Mississippi.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think you're in my
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: hometown not too Longergan absolutely, sir, Absolutely, Hey, baking cakes,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: baking cakes. Good people graduated from jack the state um
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: and and in my like a year of college, I
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: joined their National Guard, help my parents offsets on the
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: cost of my college experience expenses by getting you know,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of the g I bill UH. In the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Air Guard, I became a crew chief. I was responsible
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: for uh these high performance fighter jets F four fantoms
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: and then F sixteens, which gave me the opportunity to
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: learn a whole lot about high performance airplane and UH
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: and and here I am. This is why I like
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: talking to you, because you have a lot you know,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: they have ned jets, all these ideas. You know, got
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of comple I've flown on
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of different companies to be very selective on
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: where you get your jet from, because all private jets
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: are not created. Just gonna let you know exactly, okay.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I say that is that,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: first of all, I'm talking something to someone who has
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: flown before. The average person you talked to, they just
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: sales people. They know nothing about that plane. They never
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: know about hours. And I'm just I'm trying to come
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do, Charles, I'm trying to actip
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: to fire two people because people need to understand that.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: You know, if you if you're gonna upgrade in life,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: if you're wanna say, I got someone wanna treat my
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: wife special, I want to go somewhere else. You can
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: do this with a private jet because it's it's fun,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: it's fun, it's the ultimate birthday president is the ultimate
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: wedding gift, all these things. So how would they go
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: about reaching you and getting engaged in the opportunity to
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: get a private what what are the what are the
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: rules and what are the procedures. The easiest way to
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: do that is to go to my website. It's principal
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Jets dot com and spell p R I N C
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: I P A L J E T S dot com.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: Go to that website. There's a tab on there that
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: says requests a quote. Real simple, just click on that
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: and it will open a splash page and they'll ask
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: you for some pieces of information. If you just type
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: in that information and press send, it will send us
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: an email and we'll have all your details. So we'll
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: follow up with you, give you all the details you need.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: We'll discuss you know, what kind of budget you want
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: to stay with and where you're trying to go. How
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: many people are flying with you? Do you have any
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: preferences in terms of your catering? You need ground transportation
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: when you get there or from your place of origin?
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Do you need security? Well, you need he wants to
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: travel with you to make sure that you know you're stay.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Depending upon you know your profession, that might be something
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: that you need, right, But that's a real clean and
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: simple way of doing it. Uh, just go there and
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: we'll take care of it from there. Well, the amazing
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: thing about it this is like you said, catering, and
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you something, every time you ask
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: for something, a bill comes with it. You know, you
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: can fly. You can on the plane and not have catering.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about you can fly plane, don't have an
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: ask toward a flight attended. That's the various planes, you know,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: cost different levels of money. We're not trying to get
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: you on a Beyonce a jay Z plane. Okay, we
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: all know that's kind of like a whole lot of
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: people's price range. We've put on planes that that available
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: short hops, can go from coast to coast, can go
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: to the islands. What are some of the popular destination
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: rentals that you get at least did you get for
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: your planes. One of the things that get more commonly
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: than anything is along the East Coast. You have a
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: lot of people traveling north and south along the East
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: Coast from from uh, say, the Miami area up to
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: New York or or the d C area. So because
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: of that, it's such a busy UH traffic route that
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: we're able to offset some of the cost by you know,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: just doing true one way UH. A lot of times
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: people don't understand that when you fly privately, if you
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: if your to a jet to go from here from
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: point A to point B, in most cases you're gonna
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: have to pay for that jet to go back to
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: where it came as based at that location. But on
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: the East Coast, as we have so much traffic growing
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: up and down the East Coast, we're typically able to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: accommodate you on a true one way basis because we
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: know if you fly from Miami up to New York,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: we know nine times out of tchay and somebody there's
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: someone else waiting for a jet to go back down
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: to Miami. Salute. This kind of offset them both that way.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: Get a lot of email notices about that they call
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: an open leg exactly, empty leg, empty legs. Here we go,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: empty leg. So it means that you know, you get
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: a cheaper way. Now, what is something the missnownment that
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: you have to fight to let everybody understand the brand
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: of private jets Charles? Yes, yes, how much flying can
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: you let me do for free? Know? How many hours
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: can you donate to us? Things of that nature. I'm
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: a I'm a I'm a well known person. So can
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: you just put my name on your marketing materials and
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: let us fly based on that? And we're running a
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: business and that's just that's just really really hard to justify. Now.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: I never used that. I've never used the well known
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: person because I keep telling people you want to make
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: sure the plane you get in goes up and lands,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: so you pay for the quality that you get. Now exactly,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: But let me let me clarify one thing. Though you
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: mentioned um the names of some of these larger competitors,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: I want people to know that although we are a
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: smaller company, were minority owned, were also veteran owned. The
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: planes we fly our manufacturers and the exact same factory
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: that as the ones flown by our larger competitors. Uh,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: you know so, and they're they're maintained and managed at
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: the same FA standards that are required to conduct charter operations.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: But we also go beyond that and ensured that they've
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: received additional audits above what the FA requires to ensure
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: an additional level of safety. So even though we're smaller,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: you know, don't be fooled by the name and the
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: logo of the larger competitor, because you're paying for that.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: We can offer you a more cost effective option to
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: flying privately. And I tell you me, as the head
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: of this company, UM, I have a really solid background
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: in in aviation safety. I know what to look for
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: in terms of the records on the aircraft made to
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the history and uh numbers on in terms of aircrew
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: are they truly capable of to fly plane with you
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: in it? So, uh, you know you'll see once you know,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: if you give us a chance, whoever the prospective client is,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: you'll be pretty comfortable with the the option we provide.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: And we always do a follow up as well to
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: find out not if you liked it, but we want
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: to find out what could we have done better? Even still,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: what's that website? Chaws Principal Jets dot Com, P R I,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: N C, I, P A, L J E T S
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: dot Com. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bring
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: you back on the show in November because I know
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: that's that's when people started flying heavy and that falls
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: that East coast, So we could just put the word
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: out again. I know when your brand in or your
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: marketing is never a one off. You have to keep
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: telling people over and over again and one day they
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: are here and go, oh yeah, Principal Jets dot Com
• 1:27:53

  Speaker 1: film VIC and gospel led me to this amazing opportunity
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: on Green Leaf this season. But it all led me
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: right out the door to start my own company, which
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: is moon Baby Media. And and that's what this show
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: is about. I'm glad you came on the show because
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: see that means you you. Let's let me use some
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: words and like the words safe use. Ten years of
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: Grammars Grammar is not going anywhere Grammars. And now he
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: was a senior project manage over there for gospel and
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: television film music at the Grammars. But then you said, hey,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: I see another vision in my life. What made you
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: do that? What made you say? I'm comfortable? But I
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: need to do something else for me because I wasn't comfortable.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: You know, for me, it was always going there and
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: you know, just really learning growing. You know, ten years
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: is a really long time for me personally. I didn't
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: expect to even be there a whole decade of my life.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: But you know, I always say it was a divine appointment,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: you know, from I never set out to do gospel music.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: You know, back was always hip hop and R and B,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: and you know, listening to hip hop from day one.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: But now God had other plans for me, and you know,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: he opened that door to the Academy to oversee the
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: gospel field. So you know, at the end of the day,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: like that is an organization that is you know, basically
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: driven the nucleus of this business for music. So every
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: walk of life you're interface with from engineers, producers, labels, artists,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's really an organization that can catalyst
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: you to in a place because that's what it was
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: created for, you know, not just for that award show
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: and that Grammy that you see every year. Like this
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: is a peer to peer organization, So anyone that's serious
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: about being in the music business on the business level,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: you know, they need to be a member of that
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: type of organization. So for me, you know, I went
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: in there, like I said, to learn and grow, and
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: my path was sort of created for me as I
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: was there. But I had to be patient and persistent
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: but know that there was a bigger picture, an opportunity
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: for me down the road, you know, because music has
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: always been something I knew on the business then that
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: I was going to be a huge part of. And
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: I'm still creating that picture and vision of what that
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: looks like in my life, you know. But that was
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: a stepping stone, a piece of the puzzle for me
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: to open the door to the next plateau, which is
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: where I am now as a music supervisor. Now I'm
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: looking at this, says r C. Inspiration and Lions Cave
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: announced that they were released Green Leaf soundtrack season two
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: coming up September eight. What is your exact role in that,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: I'm the album producer, so pretty much, you know, did
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: all the music that you see in the show on
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: camera performances. A lot of artists were written into the
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: script this season, like in the final episode, Jacquelin Car
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: a brand new artist Korean hearth on on r C
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: that was on The Voice season eight. So my role
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: in that was basically producing this soundtrack and taking some
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: of the songs that we created on the show or
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: licensed for the show to do a deal with our
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: theater distribute the album, and basically I was responsible for
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: putting that track list together. Now I'm just gonna let
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: it everybody in the r C a inspiration. Now. They
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: got all the mega gospel artists there, Donnie mcclarkin, Israel Horton,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Marvin sap Leandrew Johnson. I'll tell you so. So they've
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: where they're supposed to be in distribution. Heavy hitters, huh,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: all the heavy hitters and all the heavy hitters. Now,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: this r C a inspiration in Last Gate. Now, the
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: beauty of this is that when I'm looking at this,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: looking at some of the artists on that the one
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: artist that jumps out to me. I know, Kurt Frank,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: but Mavis sta mm hmmm, Let's opera. How was it
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: working with her? Well, this was actually a remix we
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: did of her song that one. This was a song
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: that we just had some producers come in and given
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: a new sound. So I mean that the incredible voice,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: you know. I saw her documentary and you know she
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: talking about old the whole journey from Bob Dylan to
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: now this an amazing person. Now some of the artists, Now,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: did you do any any studio work with any of
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: these autists or they just did the art They just
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: did supply the songs for the CD. Well, we have
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: a music producer, Matt Head in Atlanta, So Close Together,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: where he created a lot of original content as well
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: for the show. So Jaquelin card the song that she
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: recorded homey Close on the soundtrack basically debor joy Wine
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: and you know when the lead actresses on the show
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: formed the song on the show. But my idea was,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: you know, to have Jaqualin basically going and record the
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: songs so we can actually release it as a single
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: by a major artist. So that's how that ended up
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: on the soundtrack outside of the show with Jakalin is
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: singing that. So things like that happened where we have
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: an idea, we're working together, we have it in the show,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: and then I come in and as creative and say
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: let's have Jakalin, who's an amazing young voice and talent,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: come in. She cameoed in one of the episodes. However,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: now re record the song for the soundtrack, so we
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: can also release it as a single. Wow. So September
