5:08
Speaker 1: Season thirty six season of Survivor. You have been wanting
5:12
Speaker 1: to do this show for a long time. Tell us
5:15
Speaker 1: why So? I've always been um kind of a well
5:20
Speaker 1: growing up, I like to build like tree houses and
5:22
Speaker 1: you know, play around in my parents backyard. And I
5:25
Speaker 1: guess about ten years ago, I started watching this show Survivor,
5:29
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, it's it looks like a difficult show,
5:32
Speaker 1: but it looks like a show that I could put
5:34
Speaker 1: all of my talents two And it looks like a
5:37
Speaker 1: show I could do pretty well at because I'm I
5:39
Speaker 1: was pretty smart, pretty athletic, I played a lot of sports,
5:42
Speaker 1: pretty social, have a lot of friends, And I'm like, man,
5:45
Speaker 1: this game requires all those abilities, so maybe I could
5:49
Speaker 1: maybe I could try my hand at it. Okay, cool,
5:52
Speaker 1: So so let's let's let's the stage has been set.
5:54
Speaker 1: We know he's smart five Beta Kappa at the incredible
5:57
Speaker 1: Mallhouse College and at Latin George y'all okay, law school
6:02
Speaker 1: at University of Pennsylvania. He talking to Okay, we know
6:06
Speaker 1: he did you get around. So now he's been wanting
6:09
Speaker 1: to do this for like ten years. So he was
6:10
Speaker 1: looking at you. So there was a planned action. You
6:13
Speaker 1: you just like didn't stumble up on this so well?
6:15
Speaker 1: You rejected several times? Did you apply several times? Explain
6:19
Speaker 1: tell us about that? So at Morehouse I learned the
6:22
Speaker 1: saying proper preparation prevents poor performance. Right. So I've been
6:27
Speaker 1: watching the show for years and wanting to get on
6:30
Speaker 1: the show. So as I watched it, I was taking
6:33
Speaker 1: notes for years on a strategy, how I would play,
6:36
Speaker 1: how I would react to certain situations, what have you?
6:40
Speaker 1: And I started started up playing, I'd say, like seven
6:43
Speaker 1: years ago. And over the years I sent in many
6:46
Speaker 1: application videos. I went to live contings. I never got
6:50
Speaker 1: it through. Like, uh, when I was out of law school,
6:54
Speaker 1: I was clerking for a few judges in Philly. I
6:56
Speaker 1: never got it. I had my shoeing turn on. I
6:58
Speaker 1: was clean cut then and I never got it. And
7:01
Speaker 1: then finally I'll take this career path change and I'll
7:04
Speaker 1: started my own company, and I grew out an unfriend,
7:06
Speaker 1: I got my beard, I'm kind of living my full
7:08
Speaker 1: life and they finally say we want this version of Window,
7:12
Speaker 1: we want you to come on the show. So that
7:14
Speaker 1: I think it was the preparation and also the persistence
7:17
Speaker 1: and me not giving up and me continuing to apply
7:20
Speaker 1: and apply and apply. Well, I think also the fact
7:22
Speaker 1: that you made a statement there a transition. I feel
7:26
Speaker 1: you became who you are today. You know, like you said,
7:29
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't come in there, come into could
7:31
Speaker 1: this survival? You're on the island, you said you were
7:33
Speaker 1: coming in that clean cut. That's a look that don't
7:35
Speaker 1: work on That is because you're pulling off your clothes.
7:38
Speaker 1: The tide going somewhere, it's not gonna stay on you,
7:41
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, so that look right there.
7:44
Speaker 1: They said, well, he we like him, but I don't
7:46
Speaker 1: really think he get it because they want you to survive.
7:49
Speaker 1: Because I'm a big fan of these shows. Another one
7:51
Speaker 1: of my favorite shows, Naked and Afraid. I love that show.
7:54
Speaker 1: Oh I love that show. Now you get on that
7:56
Speaker 1: show window, Now you're gonna be the real I think,
8:02
Speaker 1: I think trying to start a fire. And I'm saying
8:05
Speaker 1: so so so, I appreciate the fact that you're showing
8:09
Speaker 1: everybody that even in this television show, you had to
8:12
Speaker 1: put in preparation, you had to examine and have a
8:15
Speaker 1: plan of action. And the key thing you said was persistency.
8:19
Speaker 1: And also what you said was key to me and
8:21
Speaker 1: hearing this process is that you made a transition in
8:24
Speaker 1: your life. Let's talk about that, because you're doing everything
8:28
Speaker 1: that people tell you to do. I used to work
8:29
Speaker 1: for IBM before I became a stand up comic, and
8:32
Speaker 1: before I did, I left for stand up comic. I
8:34
Speaker 1: became a sitcom writer when I love a sitcom right.
8:36
Speaker 1: I became a television producer. Then I became a manager
8:39
Speaker 1: of talent. So that's a lot of transitions. And people
8:41
Speaker 1: always tell me, man, you know how to reinvent yourself,
8:45
Speaker 1: and I just tell people, I'm not afraid to step
8:47
Speaker 1: out there, tell us about your personality windows. You can't
8:51
Speaker 1: be afraid to step out there. You can't be afraid
8:54
Speaker 1: to take risks and and you know, take a leap
8:56
Speaker 1: of faith. Um calculated risks though, like, uh, I'm not
9:00
Speaker 1: just I'm not just doing something off of a whim.
9:03
Speaker 1: I had um when I was clerking for a few
9:06
Speaker 1: judges in Philly. I was in civil courts, when I
9:09
Speaker 1: was in family court, and I needed a bed for
9:12
Speaker 1: myself and on my salary. I point, these nice are
9:16
Speaker 1: high end beds that I really that I really wanted,
9:19
Speaker 1: So I decided to build my own bed um and
9:22
Speaker 1: it was. It was a beautiful piece of furniture, and
9:25
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I have a gift right here.
9:27
Speaker 1: This is something that I can do. And then at
9:29
Speaker 1: the time, I started building more beds on the side.
9:32
Speaker 1: While I was still clerking and working hard, you know,
9:34
Speaker 1: nine to five, I started building beds and other kinds
9:37
Speaker 1: of furniture and selling it on the side. So I'm like,
9:40
Speaker 1: you know what, this is something that fulfills me. This
9:43
Speaker 1: is something that I love doing. I'm using my creative
9:46
Speaker 1: um gifts and I'm being entrepreneurial, so maybe this is
9:51
Speaker 1: something Maybe this might be my paint. So then the
9:54
Speaker 1: final h that I clerked for retired in UH, and
9:59
Speaker 1: I I was like, man, this might be the perfect opportunity. Um.
10:03
Speaker 1: My opportunity finally met my preparation, my building this business
10:06
Speaker 1: on the side, and so finally I decided to go
10:09
Speaker 1: full force and create this furniture company where I can
10:12
Speaker 1: have a creative outlet. I could be the artist that
10:14
Speaker 1: I truly am in size, be the entrepreneur that I
10:17
Speaker 1: am and uh and do what I love, you know.
10:19
Speaker 1: So it's just a big old This is an extreme
10:23
Speaker 1: change okay, And first of all, how did you build
10:28
Speaker 1: a bid man? You threw that out there like you know,
10:32
Speaker 1: like you know, like, uh see, I build a rectors sense.
10:36
Speaker 1: I put together hot wheel tracks. You know. I've glued
10:41
Speaker 1: together some airplanes. You're sitting up here talking about you know,
10:45
Speaker 1: I built my band, like what playing? What are you
10:49
Speaker 1: going online to find out how to build? To be?
10:52
Speaker 1: So okay, I've always been good with my hands. Let's
10:54
Speaker 1: start off. I should have said that first. I've always
10:56
Speaker 1: been good with my hands. I've been able to kind
10:59
Speaker 1: of build things. My dad. Uh my dad is an attorney.
11:03
Speaker 1: He's a retired attorney, but growing up he always had
11:05
Speaker 1: me helping him do things like frame out the basement
11:08
Speaker 1: drying wall, you know. So I've always been handed and
11:13
Speaker 1: um and so I I found all these random pieces
11:18
Speaker 1: of wood and different things that I kind of pieced
11:20
Speaker 1: it together to make what I call this like patchwork
11:23
Speaker 1: style headboard with like many pieces of wood, and then
11:25
Speaker 1: I stayed the whole thing. And that has been my
11:29
Speaker 1: aesthetic as far as my as my pieces has been
11:32
Speaker 1: like kind of patchwucky. We used to reclaimed wood and
11:35
Speaker 1: we learned with so there's like this reused element. It's
11:39
Speaker 1: a recycled element that's uh environmentally friendly deconstantly element to
11:44
Speaker 1: my company, where we we take you know, what might
11:47
Speaker 1: be considered junk, like, well we'll tear down a barn.
11:51
Speaker 1: The tansition really really good, which is really really good
11:55
Speaker 1: strong wood have survived the weather. I have to ask
11:58
Speaker 1: you this. Now you are there's a sets for laws
12:01
Speaker 1: and then you know people always think you're crazy anyway.
12:03
Speaker 1: You know, first of all your law, you're now you're
12:05
Speaker 1: making furniture. Now you want to go over here and
12:07
Speaker 1: do survival? What was that? What was that conversation life
12:11
Speaker 1: when it hit the streets? Mr black Man? Okay, okay,
12:15
Speaker 1: So so my parent, I guess, you know, my parents
12:19
Speaker 1: had had known that I've been watching this show and
12:22
Speaker 1: kind of a plane. But they seem me, you know,
12:26
Speaker 1: you know, practicing make it fun her outside and doing
12:28
Speaker 1: these things. But I don't think they really thought that
12:31
Speaker 1: I would actually get let alone get fur and let
12:34
Speaker 1: alone win the game. So um, I when I finally
12:38
Speaker 1: got the call that I was gonna be on the show,
12:41
Speaker 1: I told me I sent an email to my my mother,
12:44
Speaker 1: my father, and I have an older and the younger sister.
12:46
Speaker 1: I said, hey, guys, all his work finally paid off.
12:50
Speaker 1: You guys know, I've been applying and applying for Survivor,
12:52
Speaker 1: and I finally I got the call of going out
12:55
Speaker 1: on the island in two months. And they were they
12:58
Speaker 1: were pretty shocked. You know that, I can't believe this
13:00
Speaker 1: is really happening. They knew that I had a final
13:04
Speaker 1: casting in l A. They knew I was flown out there,
13:06
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they really thought that I
13:08
Speaker 1: was really gonna make it. And so they were pretty shocks.
13:11
Speaker 1: But at the same time, they know the person I am.
13:13
Speaker 1: They know that I'm good at like I'm a hustler,
13:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonnat navigating different situations. I'm gonna talking to different people.
13:20
Speaker 1: I'm pretty athletic, I'm pretty smart. They're like, we know,
13:23
Speaker 1: wherever we put you, you're gonna you're gonna be all right.
13:26
Speaker 1: You're gonna rid that. They yeah, you're gonna rise exactly.
13:30
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that. You know, in the game
13:32
Speaker 1: of survivance, it's a lot you but it's also a
13:35
Speaker 1: lot of luck. In my seat, there was a lot
13:37
Speaker 1: of God. It was God's plan for me to get
13:39
Speaker 1: through a lot of things, and I found my way
13:43
Speaker 1: to the top. I found my way to the end
13:45
Speaker 1: and I got it done. What was the prize money?
13:47
Speaker 1: What what did you do? Man? Man? So the prize
13:51
Speaker 1: money was a million dollars and um that was that
13:54
Speaker 1: was a great tex to get. But what I've done is, um,
14:00
Speaker 1: I talked to my father. We we filmed like a
14:03
Speaker 1: year ago, and then it took like found months to air,
14:06
Speaker 1: so I kind of I kind of had a good
14:08
Speaker 1: feeling that although they then reveal the win live, you know,
14:13
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, I had a good
14:15
Speaker 1: feeling that I had won. So I went home and
14:17
Speaker 1: I told one person. I talked to my dad and
14:19
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, Dad, I think I might I think
14:23
Speaker 1: I might have got the job done out there. Can
14:25
Speaker 1: you give me some advice on how to invest this money,
14:28
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be one of these guys
14:30
Speaker 1: that gets a big check and blows it. So he
14:33
Speaker 1: took me to his financial planner. Um. They it's like
14:38
Speaker 1: an investment group called the Pennsylvania Trust, and he kind
14:41
Speaker 1: of introduced me to those guys. But then finally thoughtscorn
14:44
Speaker 1: to when I finally win and get the check. I went, Um,
14:47
Speaker 1: I took the million dollar check right to this company,
14:50
Speaker 1: and I invested it, and so now I am fully
14:53
Speaker 1: invested in a diversity stock portfolio. It shouldn't it shouldn't
14:57
Speaker 1: stocks just watching it roll off that stock it's on
15:01
Speaker 1: fire right now. That's it. That's it. And so in April,
15:06
Speaker 1: in April, I'm gonna take a big hit and I
15:08
Speaker 1: gotta pay the about that's a big hit. But until then,
15:14
Speaker 1: at least that that amount of money is still gonna
15:16
Speaker 1: ac cruel interest. You go talk to a tax planner,
15:21
Speaker 1: get your fine benefit plan. I'm telling fine benefit plan.
15:26
Speaker 1: You can take that four hundred and put it in
15:28
Speaker 1: there and you don't pay them nothing. Okay, Okay, just
15:32
Speaker 1: just think this out. A lot of people think you
15:33
Speaker 1: gotta pay taxes and everything, and that's there there, there's
15:36
Speaker 1: strategic strategic angles of this is legitimate. I don't. I
15:41
Speaker 1: don't give our bad advice to my show unless it's
15:44
Speaker 1: a lifestyle that I participate in. But don't feel that
15:47
Speaker 1: you can give away that whole four hundred thousand. Okay, alright,
15:52
Speaker 1: So define benefit plan. Okay, it's something you have to
15:56
Speaker 1: keep up going. But you you you got a business,
15:58
Speaker 1: you got a charity engagement, you're dealing with so just
16:01
Speaker 1: just don't do it. Just don't give it away like that. Okay,
16:05
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you told me that, my man, you
16:07
Speaker 1: are a champion. Will Smith is a champion. He's from

Speaker 1: Please work on the money making conference stations again. Sean Robinson, Hello,
19:03
Speaker 1: how are you well? John? I'm telling you I'm so
19:06
Speaker 1: happy to have you back on the show because first
19:09
Speaker 1: of all, we've known each other a long time. We've
19:11
Speaker 1: actually have You've seen each other's careers are in the
19:15
Speaker 1: public and behind the scenes, because I've run into New York.
19:18
Speaker 1: You always engaged in some type of activism. That's that's positive.
19:23
Speaker 1: But I think that you and I have known each
19:24
Speaker 1: other for since I came to Los Angeles. I think
19:29
Speaker 1: that was seriously and that when when you first got
19:35
Speaker 1: there and we and we maintained this positive relationship and uh,
19:39
Speaker 1: whenever we saw Joe was always good vibes and just
19:42
Speaker 1: to see each other doing our things beyond what we
19:44
Speaker 1: first met each other. You know, my manager Steve Harvey's
19:48
Speaker 1: career and yours was access Hollywood. And so it's all
19:51
Speaker 1: about being able to reinvent yourself. Also being able to
19:54
Speaker 1: show that there are are that your talents can be
19:56
Speaker 1: explored in other things that you want to do, and
19:58
Speaker 1: not saying that we weren't doing what we wanted to
20:00
Speaker 1: do back then, but there's a there's a certain amount
20:02
Speaker 1: of versatility that you're showing with your career now. And
20:05
Speaker 1: your platform is really really important to you and uh
20:09
Speaker 1: and social media is really important to your brand right now. Correct. Absolutely.
20:14
Speaker 1: And you know, remember when I first started an Act
20:16
Speaker 1: of Hollywood, and you know this very well, we didn't
20:19
Speaker 1: have social media. We didn't have Facebook or Twitter, Instagram, um,
20:25
Speaker 1: and so our we were dependent upon other means to
20:29
Speaker 1: get our messages out. But now we have control over
20:33
Speaker 1: our own message and we can um reach the people
20:36
Speaker 1: who support us. Our fans are supporters directly. And it's
20:40
Speaker 1: important to you know, keep that conversation going, keep that
20:43
Speaker 1: engagement going, because these are the people who have supported
20:45
Speaker 1: us for so long over the years. And that's really
20:48
Speaker 1: important because you start to tell your story and and
20:52
Speaker 1: and that's that's really important because I'll was youll people
20:55
Speaker 1: that you know, it took me amad when I stopped
20:58
Speaker 1: managing Steve's I didn't know who are us? I didn't
21:00
Speaker 1: know and people, yeah, you are your your Can you
21:03
Speaker 1: say that? Because people will follow you a people who
21:06
Speaker 1: they have to have a reason, they never have a
21:08
Speaker 1: justification and emotion as to why they should follow you
21:11
Speaker 1: or like your page, and they have to be a
21:13
Speaker 1: consistent brand. And so what was that in your process
21:16
Speaker 1: of building out your brand and getting your vosh together Sehn? Well,
21:20
Speaker 1: you know that's interesting that you say that, because a
21:22
Speaker 1: lot of times when we are attached to a name
21:28
Speaker 1: or show, like I was attached to the show Access
21:31
Speaker 1: Hollywood for sixteen years, and so um, there were times
21:36
Speaker 1: when I felt even before I left in and you know,
21:39
Speaker 1: I thought about leaving, you know, so many times before
21:42
Speaker 1: and pursuing projects that I was really passionate about, but
21:46
Speaker 1: I was thinking would I still be who I am
21:49
Speaker 1: without this name behind me? And you find that when
21:53
Speaker 1: you do take that leap of faith and you expand
21:57
Speaker 1: You're still who you are? Okay, you you were still
22:00
Speaker 1: who you are and you are still the person that
22:02
Speaker 1: people connect with. So it's about for me, it was
22:07
Speaker 1: about stepping out on the face and learning how I,
22:11
Speaker 1: you know, continue to build that brand outside of that
22:15
Speaker 1: particular name. And um, I was even um, you know,
22:22
Speaker 1: there was a point on um my social media where
22:26
Speaker 1: I said, let me take that name off of the
22:29
Speaker 1: social media. Okay, let me take that name on, and
22:32
Speaker 1: can I detach from that? And that is not to
22:35
Speaker 1: say I'm not grateful. I'm extremely grateful for the wonderful,
22:38
Speaker 1: wonderful sixteen years that I had with the show. I
22:42
Speaker 1: met a lot of great people. I met you and
22:44
Speaker 1: so many other wonderful people through the show. Um, but
22:47
Speaker 1: there was more to me and I am, you know,
22:51
Speaker 1: finding that out now? And how do I spread my
22:53
Speaker 1: wings and how do I step out on face? And
22:55
Speaker 1: how do I make Sean Robinson the most well ground
23:00
Speaker 1: did person that she can be And that that that
23:03
Speaker 1: that's a fear, and that's fear that I had to overcome. Fear,
23:07
Speaker 1: I'll put it on me. And because of the fact
23:09
Speaker 1: that what advice would you give somebody who's saying at
23:11
Speaker 1: a job, who's uh in a relationship that they should
23:14
Speaker 1: be they should get out of? Because I always tell
23:16
Speaker 1: people is more than just a job. When you have
23:18
Speaker 1: to change your life, you have to change your whole
23:19
Speaker 1: thought process. Sometimes you're in a bad relationship that just
23:22
Speaker 1: just dragging you along because you really need to fire
23:25
Speaker 1: or quit, just like you need to quit that job.
23:28
Speaker 1: What what what? What advice would you give somebody somebody
23:32
Speaker 1: to make that transition? Do they plan it out? Do
23:34
Speaker 1: they do they just walk away and walk into they
23:35
Speaker 1: ab out? Well, yeah, and you know it's easy, listen,
23:39
Speaker 1: Let's be real. It's easy to make a change when
23:42
Speaker 1: you have the resources to hold you or tied you
23:48
Speaker 1: over you know, until you get something else going on.
23:51
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's easy. Um. But you know, sometimes
23:55
Speaker 1: when it comes to a particular job, you may feel, gosh,
23:58
Speaker 1: you know, how am I going to make it in
24:01
Speaker 1: the meantime? And that's the in the meantime is what
24:05
Speaker 1: you have to overcome in terms of your fear about
24:08
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. So obviously you have to be smart,
24:11
Speaker 1: you have to save your money, you have to be strategic, um.
24:14
Speaker 1: But also you have to when it comes to you know,
24:19
Speaker 1: listen with me when it comes to relationships. Um. You
24:22
Speaker 1: know that which is not serving you is not for
24:25
Speaker 1: your greater good. And I get my you know, I
24:28
Speaker 1: get my face from you know, it was you know,
24:31
Speaker 1: I go to a faithful Central Bible church with Kennessee
24:35
Speaker 1: Omer and and listen and in wood and listen. He's
24:40
Speaker 1: always breaking it down like there will be something that
24:43
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with and the answer will come to me
24:47
Speaker 1: if I stop and just be silent and be still
24:51
Speaker 1: and pray about it. But um, you know, just with
24:55
Speaker 1: you know, just back to the job situation. It's about
24:59
Speaker 1: you know what, Listen, life is very short, Um. It
25:02
Speaker 1: seems like every single year I'm hearing about somebody that
25:05
Speaker 1: I knew. Um, you know no longer with us. So
25:09
Speaker 1: life is very short. So do you want to stay
25:12
Speaker 1: in this current situation for the rest of your life
25:15
Speaker 1: because of fear? Um? And my answer is always no. Yeah.
25:20
Speaker 1: My my answer answer to we're on the same page. Now,
25:23
Speaker 1: here's the fun part about social media because because I
25:26
Speaker 1: consider Shawn a friend and just watching her, you know,
25:30
Speaker 1: to your dad picture on there, and then I see
25:32
Speaker 1: all these others because you know, your goal is to
25:34
Speaker 1: create engagement, and so you was at the n A
25:36
Speaker 1: b J recently and your engagement was off the chain.
25:42
Speaker 1: I was trying, I was trying, and so so what
25:46
Speaker 1: was your goal just to teach people? What was the
25:47
Speaker 1: purpose of your post when you went up there? What
25:50
Speaker 1: was the goals when you went up there. Here's an
25:52
Speaker 1: event your celebrity you're going to be around, a media
25:55
Speaker 1: event is tied to you, and you know where you're
25:56
Speaker 1: going to engage with other celebrities when you were posting.
26:00
Speaker 1: What was the process in your post? Well, I try
26:03
Speaker 1: to just show people. Um. Number one. Going back to
26:06
Speaker 1: an h b J, it was in my hometown of Detroit,
26:08
Speaker 1: so I definitely wanted to be a part of it.
26:10
Speaker 1: And I have not been in a b J the
26:12
Speaker 1: National Association of Black Journalist conference in years. I used
26:16
Speaker 1: to go there at the beginning of my career, you know,
26:18
Speaker 1: had my little resume tapes with me and I would
26:20
Speaker 1: go down to each of the booths and have the
26:23
Speaker 1: news directors look at my resume shapes and shred them apart,
26:27
Speaker 1: and you know, big people for jobs, and so I
26:30
Speaker 1: hadn't you know, needed to do that in a very
26:32
Speaker 1: long time. Um, So this was a chance for me
26:37
Speaker 1: to go back and uh, first of all, go back home.
26:41
Speaker 1: And I also was asked open or host the opening
26:45
Speaker 1: night reception for UM for the conference, which was held
26:50
Speaker 1: on the Tuesday night before the conference began. And so
26:53
Speaker 1: it was just a wonderful time for me to connect
26:55
Speaker 1: with people I hadn't seen in a very very long time.
26:58
Speaker 1: And I always think an excuse to go back home
27:01
Speaker 1: to each other because I love the city, and the
27:03
Speaker 1: city is on the rise and it's experiencing a renaissance
27:07
Speaker 1: right now. You know, don't sleep on Detroit, man, I
27:10
Speaker 1: mean it is. I mean, that is the comeback city.
27:13
Speaker 1: And so in terms of my post, I wanted to
27:16
Speaker 1: show people Um, you know, this is what I was doing,
27:19
Speaker 1: not only connecting with my mom, hanging out with her
27:22
Speaker 1: and connecting with friends and hanging out with them. But um,
27:26
Speaker 1: I saw my There was one picture that I posted
27:28
Speaker 1: of this woman, um Diana Lewis. She was an early
27:33
Speaker 1: mentor of mine, and mentor in the sense I didn't
27:36
Speaker 1: never talk to her when I was, you know, coming
27:39
Speaker 1: up in the business, but I would watch her on
27:41
Speaker 1: TV and seeing another black woman on TV that looked
27:45
Speaker 1: like me was so incredibly empowering and gave me hope
27:49
Speaker 1: that I could accomplish this too. Thank you for responding

Speaker 1: to try to bless somebody with what I've learned from
32:52
Speaker 1: you and people like you. Well, let's give us some
32:55
Speaker 1: credit on my side to what you've done for me personally.
32:58
Speaker 1: I was not interested in doing the radio show I
33:01
Speaker 1: ran into in Houston, Texas. I ran into uh ivan
33:05
Speaker 1: and a restaurant walked up to every show, How you
33:07
Speaker 1: doing do my show? And he has a show on
33:10
Speaker 1: at the time, And I said, I don't know. He said,
33:13
Speaker 1: come on, man, do the show. People need to hear you.
33:15
Speaker 1: People need to hear what you have to say. So
33:17
Speaker 1: I did this show in Houston, Texas, and Uh, it
33:20
Speaker 1: was great, fantastic show. Great. Uh people are lightening up
33:23
Speaker 1: the phone called phone lines and everything. And I got off.
33:26
Speaker 1: When I walked off air, the owners of the station
33:28
Speaker 1: was waiting on me. I sat in their office for
33:30
Speaker 1: two hours. Remember that, and I remember them ambushing you
33:35
Speaker 1: is what I remember when you got off and UH
33:39
Speaker 1: and they sat down and asked me, and I said, well,
33:42
Speaker 1: I said, I do it, I but but I only
33:43
Speaker 1: do it for four weeks. I do the show for
33:45
Speaker 1: four weeks. That was in May of last year, seventeen
33:48
Speaker 1: four weeks. So now we're at the about the uh
33:52
Speaker 1: sixteen month mark, and we're still doing money making conversation
33:55
Speaker 1: and I'm on the phone with a young man who
33:58
Speaker 1: made it all happen as far as get me in.
34:00
Speaker 1: And that's why I always tell people you never know
34:02
Speaker 1: when your next opportunity will come. To keep an open mind,
34:06
Speaker 1: and that that's basically what your career is all about.
34:08
Speaker 1: Keeping an open mind. Correct, Yes, sir. But one of
34:12
Speaker 1: the biggest things that has UH I've learned from just
34:16
Speaker 1: many mentors you, Jleen Ricky, people like Greg Carter and
34:20
Speaker 1: people like that, is don't get the big head work
34:24
Speaker 1: you're brought off people. There's no such thing as being
34:27
Speaker 1: an overnight success. Now, you can screw it up overnight,
34:30
Speaker 1: even within two or three minutes of running your mouth.
34:32
Speaker 1: But if you really want durable, lasting success, it's all
34:37
Speaker 1: about living your brand and being committed and humble and
34:41
Speaker 1: every opportunity that you get, take it serious and make
34:45
Speaker 1: the most of it. Let's talk about because I wanted
34:47
Speaker 1: there's several RILs because we got you for two breaks,
34:49
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about the tedex moment. Now,
34:53
Speaker 1: im ted X speakers. Opportunities have you had so far?
34:57
Speaker 1: Uh so far there to that are published out there
35:01
Speaker 1: and they will probably about three more within the next
35:03
Speaker 1: twelve months with well, I'll just for it like this, man.
35:09
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's rare Rashans that they even get brothers.
35:15
Speaker 1: Uh not that it hasn't been any of us, but
35:18
Speaker 1: we are a very select group and those of us
35:21
Speaker 1: who have been um esteemed or fortunate enough to have
35:27
Speaker 1: that platform because, as you guys know, if they dept
35:30
Speaker 1: the hell out you to be on do a ted
35:32
Speaker 1: X and then even when you're in competition, you're in
35:35
Speaker 1: competition amongst all these brilliant minds. So just have the
35:41
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do something like that is truly truly
35:45
Speaker 1: a wonderful experience. Now you have one. You have one
35:48
Speaker 1: of your videos that you did know ted X over
35:51
Speaker 1: a million views. I remember you were tracking rash check
35:53
Speaker 1: this out. I'm a two thousand and have me tell
35:56
Speaker 1: us about that experience for taping it. Where was taped
36:00
Speaker 1: some of the content and it don't want to give
36:01
Speaker 1: away because we want people, we want to drive them
36:03
Speaker 1: to go watch it and keep adding to the views.
36:06
Speaker 1: But tell us about wherever your tape, how the opportunity
36:08
Speaker 1: came about you, and what changes has it caused in
36:11
Speaker 1: your life to get a video that has been few
36:14
Speaker 1: by over a million people. Oh wow, it's highly significant.
36:18
Speaker 1: You know. It's one thing when we put out content
36:21
Speaker 1: ourselves and try to optimize it and and and sell it.
36:26
Speaker 1: But Teddex doesn't permit you doing any type of stimulation
36:31
Speaker 1: that's financial for a teex uh video. But the way
36:35
Speaker 1: it took place, long Star was having a the teex
36:39
Speaker 1: event here and and the Houston area, and several or
36:45
Speaker 1: few hundred people applied. I was, I was suggested, and
36:51
Speaker 1: the next thing I know, you know, they vetted and
36:53
Speaker 1: betted and vetted, and I somehow it was very um
36:57
Speaker 1: fortunate to make it to the top ten people that
37:01
Speaker 1: they selected out of the hundreds of people. From that point,
37:05
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, I just did my thing talking
37:08
Speaker 1: about the laws of attraction and emotional intelligence. Soon thereafter
37:14
Speaker 1: they notified me and they said, hey, man, this things
37:16
Speaker 1: that eleven thousand, which I was like, what eleven thousand?
37:20
Speaker 1: If someone had told me it would be a million
37:23
Speaker 1: views within eighteen months, I would have never believed it.
37:26
Speaker 1: But I can tell you that what I'm very grateful
37:30
Speaker 1: for is that it's opened up opportunities such as this
37:33
Speaker 1: platform to be on programs like this program I'm on
37:37
Speaker 1: with you right now, uh, to get the exposure and
37:40
Speaker 1: to represent that many of us, meaning men of color,
37:45
Speaker 1: we do more than And I'm not knocking brothers that
37:48
Speaker 1: catching dribble balls, because that's the gift within itself, but
37:51
Speaker 1: there are people like you and me out here that
37:54
Speaker 1: use other gifts and other skills sets to um to
37:58
Speaker 1: maximize our potential of something called the Taco Bell strategy.
38:02
Speaker 1: Now I've never heard that Taco Bell strategy. So this
38:05
Speaker 1: is money making conversations. When I read that your your
38:08
Speaker 1: your questions for the show, I wanted you to explain
38:11
Speaker 1: exactly what is the Taco Bell strategy. It's real simple.
38:15
Speaker 1: Taco Bell takes ground beef, lettuce, cheese, and a tortilla
38:19
Speaker 1: and sometimes they make a burrito, they make a taco,
38:22
Speaker 1: They make a tostada. Uh you know Lufa, they make
38:25
Speaker 1: all this stuff using the same basic ingredients. Or in
38:29
Speaker 1: my practice, I am one of probably sixty or seventy
38:34
Speaker 1: master credential NbTi practitioners in the world, and black men,
38:38
Speaker 1: I'm probably one of six or seven and again in
38:42
Speaker 1: the world. So I use that instrument. I'm an expert
38:45
Speaker 1: on personality type. I'm also an expert on new linguistics.
38:49
Speaker 1: I'm also an expert on relationships. So when I do
38:52
Speaker 1: my thing, I make sure that I bring together elements
38:57
Speaker 1: that other people have already said. You know what, this
38:59
Speaker 1: is a proven concept. This has proven science. So it's
39:04
Speaker 1: not just my opinion. Because people you need something as
39:08
Speaker 1: a base and as a platform to build from the
39:11
Speaker 1: other thing. Something I learned from you. I remember you
39:14
Speaker 1: shared the story with me once. You said, Doc, I
39:16
Speaker 1: wasn't going through a season of my life and they
39:19
Speaker 1: were making some decisions and and you said, well, I
39:22
Speaker 1: tell you what, I don't really mind the money pay me,
39:25
Speaker 1: but let me keep my title. I need my title.
39:28
Speaker 1: So I've learned the value of a good name number one,
39:32
Speaker 1: and the value of using key ingredients that are associated
39:36
Speaker 1: with my name that I can bring value to that
39:39
Speaker 1: brand or to that instrument, and that instrument can add
39:42
Speaker 1: value and uh, you know, be somewhat of an implied
39:47
Speaker 1: endorsement for my abilities. And and again like it goes
39:52
Speaker 1: back to this work hard and know your stuff. You
39:55
Speaker 1: know that this Cliff that that story he talked about
39:58
Speaker 1: was that, Uh, I just wrapped the uh A season
40:02
Speaker 1: on Steve Harvey's first sitcom on ABC called Me and
40:04
Speaker 1: the Boys, and Robert Townson hired me to do his
40:07
Speaker 1: sitcom on the WB called Parenthood, and I was on
40:11
Speaker 1: the Steve Harveshaw was an executive story editor. And then
40:14
Speaker 1: what they did was when I got hired on Robert
40:18
Speaker 1: Townson show, they moving back to the staff writer. So
40:21
Speaker 1: I actually took a step back. So I said, hey, hey, hey, hey,
40:24
Speaker 1: I need my title. I said, you don't have to
40:26
Speaker 1: pay me money, just give me titled. I just wanted
40:28
Speaker 1: people to assume that I was still moving forward without
40:32
Speaker 1: the check associated with it, because a lot of people
40:34
Speaker 1: don't understand that it's about branding. Way back then, I
40:36
Speaker 1: understood brands, understood about marketing, understood about perception, and people
40:41
Speaker 1: perceived that you're moving forward, then I guess what you
40:44
Speaker 1: get paid Like you're gonna be moving forward, so I
40:46
Speaker 1: already end up. I told him they had never had
40:48
Speaker 1: anybody talked to him like that. I said, no, no, no,
40:51
Speaker 1: you keep a salary. Just give me my title back.
40:53
Speaker 1: They went, oh, let's go to the legal. When they
40:55
Speaker 1: came back, look, we'll do it. You're sure now, I said,
40:58
Speaker 1: I don't want any money. I just want that title.
41:01
Speaker 1: And that's what you're saying right now. And that's what
41:03
Speaker 1: you're trying to communicate when you talk about doing business,
41:05
Speaker 1: and that's why you have the title of the Reality
41:07
Speaker 1: Check correct, Yes, sir h Taking that even further, I've
41:12
Speaker 1: had you and Maya, Ricky jay Len, and Mayanna. If
41:15
Speaker 1: you guys don't know who Jayleen McK and Ricky Anderson is,
41:18
Speaker 1: you might want to find out. But the thing that
41:21
Speaker 1: the three of you taught me is know when to
41:24
Speaker 1: exit stage left, meaning is something's not conducive to where
41:27
Speaker 1: you're taking your brand. You know, all money ain't good money,
41:30
Speaker 1: and all opportunities aren't good opportunities. The other thing that
41:33
Speaker 1: I learned, uh on the hard way, is to let
41:38
Speaker 1: your let other people brag about you, let other people
41:41
Speaker 1: talk about you. And I'm not saying don't promote yourself.
41:44
Speaker 1: There's a difference between promoting yourself and then positioning yourself
41:48
Speaker 1: to look like you're full of what the bull left
41:50
Speaker 1: in the barnyard. So I don't do that anymore. I've
41:54
Speaker 1: made sure of that. Uh. I leave a trail, and
41:57
Speaker 1: that trail is built on things that add value to
42:01
Speaker 1: not only my brand, but to whatever opportunity I'll present.
42:04
Speaker 1: It is. It's amazing. Let me just clarify. Jay Lee
42:07
Speaker 1: Max She's an attorney out of Houston, Texas. She does
42:10

Speaker 1: Is there? Right? Okay? Okay? Cool? But I got it right.

47:50
Speaker 1: before we move forward into the TV show that's starting
47:53
Speaker 1: that's airing on on at ten pm on Saturday night,
47:57
Speaker 1: does it follow I am Fama another name I can't

Speaker 1: the number of black female based businesses. Were on the rise,
48:39
Speaker 1: absolutely three that there's an increase of three of us,
48:44
Speaker 1: but only four percent have made it to the million
48:47
Speaker 1: dollar mark. Now there's a huge gap there. We have
48:51
Speaker 1: the largest growth, but only four percent or less make
48:54

48:56

49:32
Speaker 1: on the good side. I thought she's about to come ahead.
49:35
Speaker 1: You gotta watch the show. Now you can Cheehawn's Pauls
49:37
Speaker 1: and all the time. Because we live on radio and
49:39
Speaker 1: you might go into the left on me, I go,
49:41
Speaker 1: I can't dump button up, but something save my career.
49:45
Speaker 1: But the thing about like the prophet, he goes in
49:47
Speaker 1: there and he has to do tough love too. And
49:50
Speaker 1: because some people shouldn't be in business, but they're getting business.
49:54
Speaker 1: And some people have a business and guess what, it's
49:57
Speaker 1: just barely getting by and it should be way more profitable.
50:01
Speaker 1: And so when I was when I when I did
50:03
Speaker 1: my research and started examining what this show was all about,
50:06
Speaker 1: because you go into the you know, it's very it's
50:08
Speaker 1: a very personal experience that you're having with these owners
50:12
Speaker 1: of these businesses. Are people who have these ideas of
50:16
Speaker 1: these concepts that they try to get aflow. So tell
50:18
Speaker 1: everybody about your show before I get more detail. Everybody
50:21
Speaker 1: know exactly what the show does, yes, And you know
50:25
Speaker 1: when I when you set the profit, it is exactly that.
50:28
Speaker 1: It's a mixture of the profit meets the shark tank
50:32
Speaker 1: with the sprinkle of thealypics my life. That is really
50:35
Speaker 1: the premise of the show. We're fixing people's businesses, coming
50:38
Speaker 1: in with a little bit of tough love, a lot
50:40
Speaker 1: of tools, a lot of information, a lot of resources.
50:44
Speaker 1: There are some investment piece that comes along with some
50:47
Speaker 1: of the ladies, like you saw an episode two last
50:49
Speaker 1: this past Saturday. UM. So it comes and the help
50:53
Speaker 1: comes in different forms. Each business owner is in a
50:56
Speaker 1: different industry, different state of her business, and it has
50:59
Speaker 1: different needs. So every individual episode will be unique. We
51:04
Speaker 1: can't just do it one, you know, once ize fits
51:06
Speaker 1: all approached, So we're meeting them where there are, give
51:09
Speaker 1: them what they need at that present time to get
51:12
Speaker 1: them to and do success. So the mess you said
51:15
Speaker 1: you're doing this with eight businesses will you Were you
51:18
Speaker 1: involved in the process of selecting the eight businesses? No,
51:22
Speaker 1: I was not. UM. There is a team of casting
51:27
Speaker 1: UM managers that go after these ladies. They have approached
51:31
Speaker 1: and they all had to be obviously African American black
51:34
Speaker 1: business owner UM that has a legitimate business of course,
51:38
Speaker 1: and at a problem that we could actually solve beyond
51:41
Speaker 1: just giving money. We wants to have things that we
51:43
Speaker 1: can actually dig our teeth in and really help with.
51:46
Speaker 1: I don't know if you solved it, because okay, let's
51:49
Speaker 1: let me just go back. Like the episode I saw
51:51
Speaker 1: the episode with the young lady who's the reality star.
51:55
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that that that that show made her made
52:03
Speaker 1: that Let's let's let's be real. Now you got mad
52:06
Speaker 1: at her, did you not? I did? And you know
52:08
Speaker 1: why I did. And here's the deal. I asked the
52:11
Speaker 1: producers when I went in, before we start apology, give
52:15
Speaker 1: everybody the back story so we can keep everybody in
52:17
Speaker 1: this journey about what this show was about and then
52:20
Speaker 1: why you got made. Okay, so that this what is
52:23
Speaker 1: this episode about? This particular episode with eight hundred West
52:27
Speaker 1: was all about helping a reality star named Megan James
52:31
Speaker 1: with her swim swimwear fashion mind that she makes for
52:36
Speaker 1: fashion no but a big reteller that's very popular. So
52:39
Speaker 1: she brought in with her a partner that she actually
52:43
Speaker 1: was blessed with. This woman who's um connected in the industry,
52:46
Speaker 1: is cutting and so wasn't a material handlers and production
52:50
Speaker 1: and she does all this stuff that you need, the
52:52
Speaker 1: contact you need that she became her partner, a very
52:56
Speaker 1: minor partner. But this partner of hers gave her credit
53:01
Speaker 1: she may get to use because she had eighteen years
53:04
Speaker 1: of credit established with these people, and Miss James did
53:07
Speaker 1: not pay her bills and so now this poor lady
53:11
Speaker 1: Tanya is faced over eleven thousand dollars worth of it
53:15
Speaker 1: build and potentially we'll be sued. So, um, the reason
53:20
Speaker 1: why I got set with Mrs James is because he
53:23
Speaker 1: did not take account of the whole accountability for her action.
53:27
Speaker 1: She did not care that she's what she did to
53:29
Speaker 1: Miss Tanya. I felt horrible that she has this platform
53:33
Speaker 1: that she can actually do good with, but instead she's
53:36
Speaker 1: making us look bad. We as black woman already have
53:39
Speaker 1: a lot of things we have to face and deal
53:41
Speaker 1: with negativity, negative impressions and impressions of us, and we
53:46
Speaker 1: have to set up bar higher for ourselves. And when
53:49
Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to do so in a platform,
53:52
Speaker 1: take it seriously. And I was disappointed with her. Um.
53:58
Speaker 1: So that's where you see the anger company firm the
54:00
Speaker 1: because I want her to do better. Well, the thing
54:02
Speaker 1: about it in that scene, let me just tell you, guys,
54:04
Speaker 1: I was upset because Megan that's her name, correct, was selfish.
54:10
Speaker 1: They're selfish. This younger her partner was crying, her was
54:14
Speaker 1: emotionally crying, pleading her case with receipts and you know
54:19
Speaker 1: what they're going what's the problem. I don't care, she said,
54:22
Speaker 1: I don't don't make me feel bad. I don't feel
54:24
Speaker 1: about at all. I'm like, oh my goodness, and I
54:27
Speaker 1: think we need to move her up an hour to
54:29
Speaker 1: y'all fix my life and then come back to this show. Well,
54:32
Speaker 1: you know you fix it. Though, I'm gonna tell you
54:34
Speaker 1: somebody else in this show, because when you watch this
54:36
Speaker 1: she gotta watch these shows because they grab you. They
54:38
Speaker 1: get you once you once you realize you're dealing with
54:40
Speaker 1: a crazy person. You're trying to figure out how miss
54:42
Speaker 1: Dillinger is gonna fix this problem, because I'm looking at
54:45
Speaker 1: the person who had no She was just she was
54:47
Speaker 1: just popular because she came from a rally show. She
54:50
Speaker 1: had no respect for the process. She had no business.
54:54
Speaker 1: Since she had no respect for her partner. She spent
54:57
Speaker 1: the money that was supposed to go pay for the
54:59
Speaker 1: bills on herself. Yes, that was the part that got
55:03
Speaker 1: everybody mad. Is that she had the money. She decided
55:07
Speaker 1: that's profit. Profits go to them. Yes, yeah, yes, sir.
55:15
Speaker 1: That was very hard for me to hear. That was
55:18
Speaker 1: very hard for me to hear. If you want to
55:19
Speaker 1: see a young lady try to straighten out the lives
55:22
Speaker 1: and get people on just more than faith, because a
55:25
Speaker 1: lot of people start business on faith, and this is
