• 1:49
  Speaker 1: this shows about entrepreneurship right that. I think that's why
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it's really gaining such popularity now, Anthony, because this just
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: allows artists, especially sometimes people just want you to be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the artists. They don't want to hear the story about
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: your entrepreneurship background and the other layers of your life
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and charities and things like that, and the various artists
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and and CEOs and interested decision makers know they can't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: come on money making conversations and then get their story told,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and they can tell it in a relax format and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: not walking away from your success. But also you have
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: other layers of success correct exactly, Yeah, branching out. You know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes people don't expect it when they when they just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: know you for one one thing. Um. But being a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: business person, I think you always have these creative ideas
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that you want to embark on. It. It's just exciting
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to be able to do something else but that. But
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's the cool thing about life today because
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, especially with social media,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: because I want to talk about social media and your brand,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: because you know, you come into you know, you just
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you have one dream that's just be a music artist
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and get your songs played on the radio, get that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to become gold, get that to become gladden, to sell
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: out arenas. But now you have this other social media,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: this this brand relationship that you have with your fans
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is not like a fan club. It's like it's immediate.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: How does how has that impacted your career, Well, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: get to to really you know here and and read
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: what people really think, see it, feel it. Um. People
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: are post videos that I'm sending their songs or teptimonies
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: about how the music has changed their lives. And you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you get to see them at the shows that we
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: post the videos of them enjoying your live performances. It's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: excited now when you do that. With that being said,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what just the difference today for a musical artist? Because
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I get that all the time because they know what
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I've done in the business. So I'm constantly being approached
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: by people to manage their careers or give them advice.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And there's so many different layers, so I can I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just know when I started writing on and sitcoms and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: three and what you're doing when I'm doing today, it's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: totally different. So I can assume that if you were
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: breaking into the musical business today, what is different? What
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: are the major obstacles? Are the major opportunities that the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: young musical artists listening to this show that you will
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: give them advice on. Not only can you be successful
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that being you know a musician songs right or a producer,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: but also you can also get into advertisement m hm.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: When you have a lot of people following you, people
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: brands come to you and and they want to they
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: want to be a part of that, want to be
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a part of the movement. They want to be a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: part of your fans so that they can sell this products.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So you become now a different entity. Um. You know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it's almost like how Oprah Show was like major right,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you know, to get part of that space and and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and that energy and that you know, and that that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: exchange there probably be a part of that. You've become
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a different kind of entity now and you can sell
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: things outside of the music. You can you know, you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: can really pretty much set up a store, um, being
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: an entertainer now and you get a chance to to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: share your music with people who would never ever uh
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think twice about you know, then during it off
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: outside of their own comfort and go into the world.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You can you can add Ran to the to their
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: world and vice versa. It's really interesting when you say that,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: because uh, you know my world. You know, entertainment, you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: bigger part of the entertainment was managing Steve Harvey doing
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: TV shows, during the radio, all these different platforms and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and create a relationship. How many favors you've done for me,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for the Hoodie Awards or the Neighborhood Awards, coming there
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and changing people's lives and they were entrepreneurs. That's why
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I always love that format because about people within the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: real starts of the community. And then then I transitioned
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to now I'm one that I'm an award winning baker.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So this is what you're saying, that reaching people that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you will never see follow you. It's that you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm reaching people in Montana, Idaho, Lord, Alabama, Nevada because
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a baker. And when I started seeing you start
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: putting these pictures out of these photos, these videos out
• 6:23

• 6:28
  Speaker 1: out to your manager, Eli. I said, Eli, I gotta

  Speaker 1: get in touch with Anthony. You want to all this

  Speaker 1: North Carolina, and cooking has always been a very important
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: part of our culture, and you know, people and a

• 12:30
  Speaker 1: conversation to start and it will be a great platform. Yeah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: because I'm doing it, and so it's not nothing unnatural
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to me. You feel me and and and I really
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm really excited about what you're saying and what
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you're trying to do because it's real and it's gonna
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: be very, very growth oriented. So I want to transition
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit to you said it earlier. African American
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: expressions that said greeting cards, calendars, journals explain about that relationship.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And when you said greeting cards, we're talking about you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, called Mother's Day, called Christmas cards. When you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: say greeting cards and calendars and journals, tell us how
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that's all gonna work out of the Anthony Hamilton's brand. Absolutely.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Uh expression is what I do through through songs, through
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a performing and and people come to me all the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: time about my lyrics. So I was like, you know what,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's already set up for me to uh to use
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: my words and my boys. Why not extended through greeting cards?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But the beat, holidays or just so simple. I appreciate
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you and and and love you and uh and and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: coming from from me, stop from Hallmark. I express it,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you know, from my people and to my people in
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a way that they wouldn't normally understand. Uh. So I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: got with a African American expression, and I felt like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it was a good marriage. It's an excell American like
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you said, it's a it's a conference zone to you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: because you've always been an advocate for social change, always
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a voice on the front line of you know what
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, this is not right? And what what drives
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you in that direction? It makes you be so consistent
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: with that tone. I think when you see uh, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: think when you see anybody, a group of people, uh,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a race of people mhm being mistreated or you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: look down upon and uh and you feel it's not right.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You want to have justice and so much injustice surrounding
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: how we'll be treated and how we looked at and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: our value and have them changed. After whial you this
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you have to be you have to be drawn to do.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: You have to be affected by it. And uh, I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: thank you. And I'm a father of six boys. I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: don't want them brought up in the world with that
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: same ignorant mentality, So why not speak on it while
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I have a a platform and a lot of people
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: with power with you know, I can make a change.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So when I use my boy and that's important because
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a parent, and you know, because you know you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: when you when you're when you're a parent, there's so
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: many goals in life. You know, you first want a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: healthy child, and then you want to raise that child
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to be respectful. And then when they go to high school,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you want them to get through that process because you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you're as we all have all personal high school experiences,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and when they go to college, it's kind of like
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the the the unnerving part. You want them to walk
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: away and you want to outlive your kids. That's the goal.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You don't want to bury your kids. You want to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: outlive there. And you don't want your children to have
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: any negative experiences. And the fact that you have six
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: boys that carries even bigger burden because guess what when
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you look at the local news, these are the African
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: American young males are the ones being traumatized by the police.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So emotionally, how does that just how do you deal
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: with that as a as a father? And what do
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you tell your your boys when you see stuff like
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that happening almost on a weekly basis in the media.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And then there and then there are quiddles that for
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: us who watched the videos go how could that happen?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: First of all, it pisses me off, and then second,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I calmed down when I said, you know what,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: being angry ain't gonna always get me the results I need.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: So I need for them to think through it all.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, your gold every day is to get
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: home safely, unharmed and uh and to outthinks your enemy. Um,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and then it ain't all about boasting up and and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: let ego getting away. I think intelligence, intelligence and and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: class and can go a long way. And then sometimes
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you push out pushed out of your your comfort zone
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and out of the those elements. But you have to
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: maintain uh certain amount of calm. It's a certain amount
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of um level. End that's really key, that's really yeah things.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And then I think the key you said was just
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: get home, Just get home, don't don't don't let pride
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: interrupt the journey. And the journey is to get home.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And uh if yessir needs to be said, yes, sir,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you know the follow the rules to the back. And
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that's that's what I do. You know that quite frankly,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: anytime I'm pulled over, you know, I'm nervous and I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: like to believe that I've done nothing wrong. And so
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow the rules and and and and hopefully
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: if I follow the rules, that I'm going to be
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: allowed to go on my way, and that's really the key.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And I think that not saying I'm not I'm not
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: putting any title onto other situations. All I know is
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that the bottom line. One thing that you're saying, get
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: home saying that's the bottom line. So I'm trying to
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: switch gears right here, because you know you've been sporting
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: these hatlines. Here another entrepreneurship lane for you, these hats.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Now you've been styling them, anthon that you you have
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a hat line out there, come on that. I am
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in the process of working on that and it's, uh,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that's one of my one of my babies. Um, I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: can't wait. We're in conversations with a few people and uh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the perfect marriage, it will come or close to the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: perfect marriage. Who come, and we'll make the best of it. Um,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: but it's time. It's time to that. Like you said,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I wear I've been wearing other folks hats, right, you've
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: been you've been sporting them, you've been styling them. You know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you know, photo of shoots, album covers, all that stuff. Man. Yeah,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: so now it's it's time for me to uh and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: build my own. Well, you're the thing I like about
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: this conversation because you are a successful touring performer venues
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: three thousand, six thousand, ten thousand sea facilities on a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you know, monthly basis, and so these items that you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: talking about, whether it's the greeting cards with a headline,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you know, these things can be sold to your fans
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: on tour. And so it's just a natural revenue generation
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: generating process that you're developing here. And I just really,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I really, I really like the way you're you're taking
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: your brand and you just designing to hate or something.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's time for me to make revenue off the stage.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Make revenue while I'm sleepy. That's the big picture now, correct, Anthony.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: That is the big picture. And uh, if you're gonna
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: be successful, you have to be making money while you're sleeping.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It just it just makes sense. It just it takes
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the stress off you and sets up, you know, a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: legacy and you know, providing these opportunities while you rest.
• 19:51
