2:27
Speaker 1: I was actually this brother. Want to talk to me? Hey, man,
2:32
Speaker 1: you know something you know Romney? Uh, First of all, Man,
2:34
Speaker 1: congratulations on your success. Let's let's get that out the
2:37
Speaker 1: way first. Because of the fact that you know, it's
2:40
Speaker 1: an interesting era that we have with African American talent
2:44
Speaker 1: on town. I know, you know your trinidaddan. You know,
2:47
Speaker 1: let's let's put that out there. Let's put that out
2:49
Speaker 1: there correctly. And and so so we're working, We're working.
2:54
Speaker 1: We're working not just on reality shows. You know that
2:57
Speaker 1: was a period where reality shows dominated African our presence
3:00
Speaker 1: on television. So what do you think is happening out there?
3:04
Speaker 1: Just just feel us a little bit of detail about
3:06
Speaker 1: about what's going on in your world. And we're gonna
3:08
Speaker 1: go to some funny things that you're doing. And I
3:10
Speaker 1: saw that, I saw that prison logic. Man, we gotta
3:12
Speaker 1: talk about that, but we're gonna talk about mine, all right, man.
3:16
Speaker 1: And that's the well right off that I want to
3:19
Speaker 1: start by saying, thank you, really seriously, thank you. I
3:22
Speaker 1: really appreciate you having me on and my brother following
3:24
Speaker 1: up on your word. I appreciate that too, um. And
3:28
Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you on all of your success
3:30
Speaker 1: as well. Thank you. Um uh yeah. I remem when
3:32
Speaker 1: we first act, like I think this might have been
3:34
Speaker 1: on the on the Steve Harvey Show, and I was like, man,
3:37
Speaker 1: I did that brother, man. You were solid dude. Man.
3:40
Speaker 1: So anyway to be here talking to you with the
3:41
Speaker 1: privilege to answer your question my duty. I think that's
3:44
Speaker 1: something I think that part of the major shift is
3:48
Speaker 1: I believe that like a report came out, um, you know,
3:51
Speaker 1: maybe like uh four years ago, it would basically show
3:57
Speaker 1: that African American dollars responded like African Americans as a
4:01
Speaker 1: whole responded, not as a whole, but just the general
4:05
Speaker 1: audience of Africa, you know, TV audience African responded to advertising.
4:10
Speaker 1: And I think that that kind of set off an
4:14
Speaker 1: alarm uh um. And there were shows that were kind
4:17
Speaker 1: of pioneering the way for that, shows like Kevin Hart's
4:21
Speaker 1: UM Real Husbands, Uh, Hollywood, you know, I can't remember
4:27
Speaker 1: some of the other shows. But because I took my
4:29
Speaker 1: challenge a little early thing, we're gonna put it out there.
4:32
Speaker 1: You know, Anthony Anderson's show, you know that Blackish, you know,
4:36
Speaker 1: And I remember I talked like I remember before he
4:38
Speaker 1: came out, Anthony's called me and I said, Anthony, that
4:41
Speaker 1: title man's crazy, and I brought him on the show.
4:44
Speaker 1: I still supported it, brought him on Steve Show, helped
4:46
Speaker 1: launching launch of show, had him set in for Steve,
4:49
Speaker 1: him and uh, Tracy Ellis Row set in and four
4:52
Speaker 1: Hours show to promote because I always know, you gotta
4:54
Speaker 1: put the brand out there. That's been the main thing
4:56
Speaker 1: about my theme has been, you gotta if people don't
4:59
Speaker 1: know you, they can't find you, they can't find you. Yeah,
5:03
Speaker 1: you gotta give them a choice and nothing, you know,
5:05
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, you know, And look, I know
5:06
Speaker 1: people in your audience are screaming right now, don't forget scandal,
5:10
Speaker 1: don't forget by all the Davis shows, you know, don't
5:13
Speaker 1: get and they're right, you know, but a lot of
5:15
Speaker 1: these shows came along and you know, um and a
5:21
Speaker 1: lot of it incentivize these networks to begin, you know,
5:24
Speaker 1: having more diversity because they saw that actually the black
5:28
Speaker 1: audience turned off to support you know, black content. And
5:31
Speaker 1: you know also like, uh, you know, I grew up
5:34
Speaker 1: in an era where you know, we watched Dynasty and
5:38
Speaker 1: The Dukes of Hazards and all these shows. That's what
5:42
Speaker 1: there was, you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong,
5:44
Speaker 1: I like picents and my favorite was always the Jeffersents
5:48
Speaker 1: and and and and I'm good Times. But the reality
5:51
Speaker 1: of it was is that we didn't have there's much representation.
5:54
Speaker 1: Now that there is much representation, people choose it, you
5:56
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and people like to see something
5:58
Speaker 1: of reflective likeness. They late to it more right off
6:01
Speaker 1: in the continent of speaking about things that they can
6:03
Speaker 1: relate to. And he was on the marketing dollars and
6:07
Speaker 1: so you know, when we see an advertisement, we're actually
6:10
Speaker 1: influenced by it. And that makes a huge different to
6:12
Speaker 1: the people that the marketing you know, especially especially now
6:15
Speaker 1: that people can go anywhere the launch television, you know,
6:19
Speaker 1: and I read this book and it was breaking down
6:21
Speaker 1: how like fifty of the people who even shop at
6:23
Speaker 1: Walmart don't even own like external hardware for their television,
6:28
Speaker 1: the meaning they don't have cable, they don't have any
6:30
Speaker 1: kind of box. They're still watching the regular network television.
6:34
Speaker 1: That plays a role in it as well. But anyway,
6:36
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just going on. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
6:39
Speaker 1: no no no, Malcole. That's what this show is about.
6:41
Speaker 1: That's why it's called money Making Conversation. That's why I
6:44
Speaker 1: shot McDonald's hosted, because I can bring talent like you.
6:47
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about your TV, You're gonna talk about
6:49
Speaker 1: all that, but this you know your mindset, because people
6:52
Speaker 1: need to understand that there's a three sixty platform for
6:54
Speaker 1: a guy like you to be successful as much as
6:56
Speaker 1: you are. You you understand the business. You understand why
6:59
Speaker 1: you're not working, why are you being chosen for roles,
7:01
Speaker 1: and how you consistently can be there. A lot of
7:04
Speaker 1: people don't understand it. They really just think that just
7:06
Speaker 1: show up and you just just you for a role.
7:09
Speaker 1: If you want longevity, you have to understand what you're
7:11
Speaker 1: walking into. And you're saying you're saying it, yeah, you
7:16
Speaker 1: really do. And you know the thing, Uh, you know
7:19
Speaker 1: that that I think that we under I think that
7:21
Speaker 1: the thing that we underestimate in the process of doing
7:24
Speaker 1: all of this is that I've seen a lot of
7:26
Speaker 1: people come before me, and um, I've seen them piss
7:30
Speaker 1: off this as many you know, big main people as
7:33
Speaker 1: I've supposedly pissed off. And you know, because the fact
7:36
Speaker 1: that they didn't want to do a job, you chose
7:39
Speaker 1: to honor their integrity before honoring you know, their pockets.
7:43
Speaker 1: And you know that's not a language that spoke very
7:47
Speaker 1: common in in in uh in the HollyHood. And so
7:50
Speaker 1: people with egos really take it personally when you turn
7:53
Speaker 1: down their projects. But what I have found is that
7:56
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I founded slay to someone preservation
8:00
Speaker 1: in the sense that you know, I never thought this.
8:05
Speaker 1: I always used to wonder should I get bigger athens?
8:07
Speaker 1: Should half bigger managers do that? But when it really
8:10
Speaker 1: boils down to it your best representation of your body
8:13
Speaker 1: of work in this business, that your best representation, it
8:16
Speaker 1: will go out and speak on be happy to you
8:18
Speaker 1: on every fedinal platform. We don tell you something about
8:22
Speaker 1: like a Seriously, when I introduced you at the beginning Weed,
8:26
Speaker 1: which is on showtime, Um, that's when I first became
8:29
Speaker 1: a fan of yours, you know. And and it's because
8:32
Speaker 1: you took a character, you know, and in that world,
8:36
Speaker 1: you know, usually it's rough, but you played it like
8:41
Speaker 1: it was. It was funny, dangerous. Does that make sense?
8:44
Speaker 1: And and and so when you when you can take
8:47
Speaker 1: a role and then you can shape it, and I
8:50
Speaker 1: think that's what you do. So I feel that's what
8:51
Speaker 1: you do so well with all your roles, you know,
8:53
Speaker 1: whether you plan a butler, or you playing some swab dude,
8:57
Speaker 1: or you playing a player, or you're playing a die
9:00
Speaker 1: d or whatever, all these roles, you just shape it.
9:02
Speaker 1: How do you come up? How do you make a
9:04
Speaker 1: decision on where you're gonna take these characters? When you
9:07
Speaker 1: when you auditioning, Um, you know, that's the thing. That's
9:11
Speaker 1: like what I'll do. Like I was doing it yesterday.
9:13
Speaker 1: I was just saying for my show, I just basically
9:15
Speaker 1: take those words and take the scenario. I don't want
9:18
Speaker 1: to know who you'd expect me to play. I want
9:20
Speaker 1: to read it, just read it like a book. And
9:22
Speaker 1: and then a nature I just developed an opinion about
9:25
Speaker 1: every person in the movie. And then I said, who
9:27
Speaker 1: who am I supposed to be playing? Oh? That dude.
9:30
Speaker 1: Oh that dude, he's the so and so, because I
9:32
Speaker 1: really have a genuine opinion. I'm not thinking about it
9:34
Speaker 1: of like thinking about it from the perspective of how
9:37
Speaker 1: should I play this? No, I'm really just these characters,
9:40
Speaker 1: the twin people. I try to think about, how can
9:43
Speaker 1: I relate this to real life and include not the
9:46
Speaker 1: howity system and and to some degree or another, and um,
9:50
Speaker 1: you know, for me, if I can't make it personal,
9:53
Speaker 1: I can't really I can't really mess with it, you
9:56
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And and so it starts there,
10:00
Speaker 1: and then I begin to like because a lot of
10:02
Speaker 1: people will reference another character on TV. You know, I've
10:06
Speaker 1: been around a long time, so I can reference in
10:10
Speaker 1: my life and be like, oh, I know I know
10:12
Speaker 1: who this dude is. This dude is Neto and Needle
10:15
Speaker 1: was a dude that I grew up when I lived
10:16
Speaker 1: in New York. You know, I'll begin making indelic because
10:20
Speaker 1: like the mom but to eat it and I don't
10:23
Speaker 1: walk around for weeks. Man, let me tell you something,
10:25
Speaker 1: my girl can't stand it. I will walk around for
10:28
Speaker 1: weeks and character and your food like that just ain't caring. Yes, yes,
10:34
Speaker 1: and I will hate you I would hate you y'all
10:39
Speaker 1: really tell you when I do that. And it's funny
10:41
Speaker 1: too because I'll do that and you know, you care
10:44
Speaker 1: about what other people think. The exercise for me is
10:48
Speaker 1: to get to the point of being this character and
10:51
Speaker 1: because you know, and then character don't give up. But
10:56
Speaker 1: now let's let's let's talk about that. Then this show,
10:59
Speaker 1: this the series that you wrote direct and then started
11:03
Speaker 1: prison lodging. Now, if you walk around being that character,
11:07
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punch you, because you that character is off
11:09
Speaker 1: the chain. Dude. I put the teeth in and everything
11:12
Speaker 1: I walk around, um, not even sight you can see
11:17
Speaker 1: what I watched the video. I cat, what's wrong with
11:20
Speaker 1: this front teeth? I was seriously, man, I was like,
11:24
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you what's wrong with this front teeth?
11:27
Speaker 1: Because I was just I was so into the character
11:29
Speaker 1: and you're so natural when you walked around the dinner
11:32
Speaker 1: table and start just bringing everybody down, and I'm just
11:34
Speaker 1: looking at your front teeth and so you walk around
11:37
Speaker 1: a character with that with those teeth off set. That's
11:39
Speaker 1: what you're telling me, Dude. I go in the glocery
11:43
Speaker 1: store and not only that, you know what, Let's be
11:45
Speaker 1: real people, will stop you on the shoot all the time. Yo,
11:47
Speaker 1: can I get a picture? They don't care for you
11:49
Speaker 1: with your kids. They don't care to you with your girls,
11:51
Speaker 1: don't care what you're doing. So you put the teeth
11:53
Speaker 1: in and you pet that little scowl on your face.
11:55
Speaker 1: People just go around. They treat you differently, and that's
11:58
Speaker 1: what I want to experience for them, because within the character,
12:00
Speaker 1: I want to experience how the world what I'm saying.
12:04
Speaker 1: And that's why I do that. You know, man, I'll
12:07
Speaker 1: be doing some types of stuff, but yes, yes, but
12:10
Speaker 1: when you see that movie prison logic, you will understand
12:13
Speaker 1: why it's worked. Okay, let's let's she says it real fast,
12:16
Speaker 1: but it's important to hear the name of the movie
12:18
Speaker 1: prison then logic. Okay, prison logic. That means a guy
12:24
Speaker 1: individual who's done some time, was carrying that philosophy in
12:28
Speaker 1: everyday world activity. He's out, but he's thinking in that
12:33
Speaker 1: same tone and vain. That's why I took Awa. That's
12:36
Speaker 1: why I took away from that video. I was like,
12:38
Speaker 1: it was so clean where you was talking. Plus I
12:41
Speaker 1: had a couple of people who've been in jail, so
12:43
Speaker 1: I do that logic. You know, when they get out,
12:45
Speaker 1: they're still the smartest people in the world. Basically why
12:48
Speaker 1: they were in jail because they were too smart to
12:50
Speaker 1: stay out of jail. And so when I hear that
12:53
Speaker 1: prison logic being said in this movie, I feel, Okay,
12:56
Speaker 1: I know that person. I know that person right there
12:59
Speaker 1: because so so so the characters. Why did you decide
13:03
Speaker 1: to write, direct and start in a project? Um, well, uh,
13:09
Speaker 1: just honestly, honestly, I didn't want to write it. I
13:13
Speaker 1: tried to hire a writer. I didn't want to direct it.
13:17
Speaker 1: Um I tried to I tried to hire a director.
13:19
Speaker 1: Every single person that was involved kept saying, rom this
13:22
Speaker 1: is so unique your this is so unique to your
13:25
Speaker 1: voice that you know you have to do it. And
13:28
Speaker 1: so when we hired the writer, ended up he ended
13:31
Speaker 1: up proving him right. When we tried to get directors involved,
13:34
Speaker 1: ended up proving him right. It was like, I just
13:36
Speaker 1: have you know, it was specific to me. I didn't
13:38
Speaker 1: have the confidence, but I'm glad that they made me
13:41
Speaker 1: do it, because you know, I ended up being able
13:44
Speaker 1: to put a touch on it and bring something to
13:46
Speaker 1: it that I don't think that hold hold that thought
13:49
Speaker 1: because I want to continue this conversation on the phone,
13:52
Speaker 1: Romney malcol talented actor be right back. I just ra
13:58
Speaker 1: Sean McDonald back. You're listening to money making conversations on

14:08
Speaker 1: breakout hit. I found him and fell in love with
14:11
Speaker 1: him on the Showtime show Weeds. He started two movies
14:14
Speaker 1: are executive produced. That started Kevin Hard to Roger By Hanson,

Speaker 1: That movie will be out. It's called Night School. They'll
14:34
Speaker 1: be out September twenty eight. Um. Like I said, this
14:37
Speaker 1: young man is doing it all. When we left, Mr Malcole,
14:41
Speaker 1: you were talking about I would say that because see
14:43
Speaker 1: anybody who walks around his stays and character. Let's talk
14:47
Speaker 1: about the prison lodge because we started talking about it,
14:48
Speaker 1: but we didn't get people to details. Because I want to.
14:50
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to get people excited about this.
14:52
Speaker 1: I also want to make sure that anywhere I can
14:54
Speaker 1: help social media wise to get the word out of
14:57
Speaker 1: about this movie. Please help me out. But first break
14:59
Speaker 1: down that character, because if you go to the website,
15:02
Speaker 1: it's like a two minute and twenty nine second video
15:04
Speaker 1: that sets the stage of what this character is all about.
15:07
Speaker 1: And he's sitting at the dental table with his mom
15:10
Speaker 1: and he just his mom talked, my chi can't write
15:13
Speaker 1: him because she got out the writers. Then you go,
15:15
Speaker 1: you can't call. Uh, that's prison, that's logic. Somebody tell
15:20
Speaker 1: you Mama's baby. I would have written, but you know
15:24
Speaker 1: I had all the threat as you go, you can't
15:25
Speaker 1: call mom, you can't call you can't call you. So
15:27
Speaker 1: break down that whole scene and the character so we
15:30
Speaker 1: can know where we're going with this prison logic. Okay,
15:33
Speaker 1: so let me see it. So the scene that you
15:34
Speaker 1: actually saw that actually is equip from the movie, and
15:37
Speaker 1: it's just basically, UH, an ex conduct has come home
15:41
Speaker 1: from prison, and he's gotten home from prison and he's
15:45
Speaker 1: you know, set on becoming motivational speaker, but his probation
15:49
Speaker 1: officer is insisting that he UH focused on just getting
15:54
Speaker 1: a nine to five and doing the things that his
15:57
Speaker 1: prob his reprobation requires, you know, getting nine flies and
16:01
Speaker 1: um and you know, to take your analysis test. And
16:05
Speaker 1: this basically lived the most you know, subservient life you
16:08
Speaker 1: can live to the system. And his mother is very
16:12
Speaker 1: much on that page as well. I don't want you
16:13
Speaker 1: going back in jail. But he's got this big treat
16:15
Speaker 1: that's going to check him away and you know, take
16:19
Speaker 1: him out of Fort Landale, Florida and leaving him to Orlando, Florida.
16:22
Speaker 1: But he hasn't gotten a permit, you know, a travel
16:25
Speaker 1: permit from his probation officer, and his mother believed that
16:28
Speaker 1: she needs them around the house. The family believe they
16:30
Speaker 1: need to prom and so this is the debate that
16:32
Speaker 1: they're having at the moment because he wants to go
16:35
Speaker 1: and they want him to stay. That character, believe or not.
16:38
Speaker 1: I created that character many many years ago on YouTube,
16:41
Speaker 1: and I would do it as a series while I
16:43
Speaker 1: was doing the First Think like Man, That's when I started.
16:46
Speaker 1: Every Sunday I would do the cities. And the reason
16:48
Speaker 1: is because me is romny now go especially back then,
16:52
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, to to mote to the kids
16:54
Speaker 1: that I wanted to reach the people that are considered
16:56
Speaker 1: at risk teams and whatnot. I'm just a corny dude, right,
17:01
Speaker 1: So I needed to find a way to use humor
17:03
Speaker 1: and real street stuff to you know, articulate point that
17:08
Speaker 1: we're very very important just for moving forward in life.
17:12
Speaker 1: And so I created this character. And character was well received.
17:16
Speaker 1: The character that people would uploaded to world Star. They
17:19
Speaker 1: would you know, come to YouTube and watched a live
17:21
Speaker 1: series and eventually those people started saying, you know, you
17:25
Speaker 1: gotta make a movie. And believe it or not, I
17:27
Speaker 1: spent at least four or five years in Hollywood people
17:30
Speaker 1: promising to help me make this movie. You gotta make
17:32
Speaker 1: it so funny names. I could go down the list
17:34
Speaker 1: of names and you know, and and and the truth
17:37
Speaker 1: is is that it was all taught. And so I
17:39
Speaker 1: finally decided, you know what, I'm gonna just do it.
17:42
Speaker 1: I was living in Porto Rico. I was like, let
17:43
Speaker 1: me just do a crowdfunding campaign and see if the
17:47
Speaker 1: people who want me to make this movie people really
17:48
Speaker 1: behind it. And I learned a lot of strategies about crowdfunding.
17:51
Speaker 1: So if you ever have questions, y'all got to ask me. Please,
17:54
Speaker 1: everybody listening you've got questions about this stuff, asked me,
17:57
Speaker 1: I'll send you an email or some notes on how
17:59
Speaker 1: to actually about it. I had to do that. I
18:02
Speaker 1: use let me know if I'm getting too home, and
18:04
Speaker 1: this was I only asked the half of what I wanted,
18:06
Speaker 1: and by doing that, I was able to make the
18:08
Speaker 1: car frond and the campaign look successful. And by making
18:10
Speaker 1: it look successful, I was able to attract the investors.
18:13
Speaker 1: And I went ahead and made my movie without Hollywood. Now,
18:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. This sounds like a sitcom.
18:22
Speaker 1: It sounds like a drama. A motivational X calm speaker
18:27
Speaker 1: that that's sounds like a slick sture. Sounds like a
18:31
Speaker 1: guy who's been educating in prison. So it's a movie. Now,
18:36
Speaker 1: everybody wants content. Netflix won't content, WHOLU wants content. Amazonre content,
18:40
Speaker 1: including the networks and cable. Is it just gonna stay
18:44
Speaker 1: in that movie. I'm just telling people. I'm just encouraging
18:46
Speaker 1: anybody to see this movie. It's that entertaining. I'll just
18:51
Speaker 1: let you know. It's that interesting. And its character, man,
18:54
Speaker 1: and its character is so so believable, because, like I said,
18:59
Speaker 1: everybody to know this guy. Everybody that has met this
19:02
Speaker 1: guy and everybody as a successful level and as a failure,
19:07
Speaker 1: he might have been a homeless guy on the street
19:08
Speaker 1: might have been this guy. And that's that's part of
19:11
Speaker 1: it too. Is that me growing up? Whenever I was
19:13
Speaker 1: watching the show, even if I was watching The flint Stones, right,
19:17
Speaker 1: I really I always vide more with Bonnie Rubble. If
19:20
Speaker 1: I was watching, I always find more with Ed Norton,
19:24
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It didn't that I always
19:26
Speaker 1: vibe more with sidekick. I always had like like and
19:29
Speaker 1: and that that uncle do you hear everybody talk about
19:32
Speaker 1: but you don't ever see that uncle be to leave
19:34
Speaker 1: in the movie. I wanted that dude to be the lead.
19:36
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because I vibele with those people,
19:39
Speaker 1: with those obscure off the people who aren't necessarily, you know,
19:43
Speaker 1: considered lead material. And so um, I want to say
19:46
Speaker 1: something to you about this particular thing. I'm gonna tell you.
19:50
Speaker 1: When you make an independent film, there's usually very little
19:55
Speaker 1: chance of making any money on independent film, there's us
19:58
Speaker 1: a very little chance of being seen in the light
20:00
Speaker 1: of day. And you know you have I'm not gonna
20:02
Speaker 1: say any names, but you have all these major outlets
20:04
Speaker 1: now that are unconventional outlets, you know, live streaming and whatnot.
20:08
Speaker 1: And what they'll do is they'll buy it for next
20:10
Speaker 1: to enough and they a lot of times don't even
20:12
Speaker 1: compensate before what you spent on the movie. But the
20:14
Speaker 1: tradeoff is people get to see a movie. This movie
20:19
Speaker 1: is has Masina Hall in it, it has Tammy Roman
20:21
Speaker 1: in it. It's got a kid named Tyler Cassidy who
20:25
Speaker 1: was Froggy Fresh. He pranked the world for a good
20:28
Speaker 1: four years um as the Rapper or Krispykreeman Arky Fresh
20:31
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Um and I've got myself in it, um
20:37
Speaker 1: uh BLOGI Lynn Oldham. And And the point that I'm making,
20:40
Speaker 1: the point that I'm trying to make is that I really,
20:43
Speaker 1: um had no clue that this movie was ever going
20:47
Speaker 1: to be anything other than the status quo in regards
20:50
Speaker 1: to how it would get distributed. But right now we
20:53
Speaker 1: are doing business with some of the biggest producers in
20:56
Speaker 1: Hollywood because they got a glimp of this movie. They
20:58
Speaker 1: saw this movie, you got the Clampone was like, wait
21:01
Speaker 1: a minute, I didn't see that. I sent it to
21:02
Speaker 1: him and looked at it and they were like, all right,
21:04
Speaker 1: we and here's how we want to go, how we
21:07
Speaker 1: want to move forward. And I went from this little
21:09
Speaker 1: independent movie with a little crowd funding budget and I
21:12
Speaker 1: made it for like four ran to where this movie
21:15
Speaker 1: is gonna have a wide release next year. And I
21:16
Speaker 1: can't even next year though, two thousand nineteen, and I
21:20
Speaker 1: can't even bel to tell you how much that alone
21:22
Speaker 1: is empowered and change in my life. Dude, it has
21:24
Speaker 1: changed everything my outlook. It's like, once you know you
21:27
Speaker 1: can hunt your own food, the game change. Now. Okay,
21:30
Speaker 1: now you know what that means now, romany Okay, Sean mcdown,
21:36
Speaker 1: it's promoting you right now before. So I got to
21:40
Speaker 1: be there for the twinter nineteen as well as to
21:42
Speaker 1: come back on this show promoted. Because this is a movie.
21:44
Speaker 1: I'm just letting everybody know that it's outstanding. Um the cash,
21:49
Speaker 1: everybody don't know what Regina Hall, one of the most
21:51
Speaker 1: incredible comedic actresses in the game today, downs has down
21:57
Speaker 1: has down this brilliant, brilliant. The fact that you're doing this,
22:01
Speaker 1: And but I wanted a lot of independent people to
22:03
Speaker 1: hear this, to let them know that, yeah, there's no
22:06
Speaker 1: walk of shame and getting your movie done there's no
22:08
Speaker 1: walk of shame, and how you get it distributed. The
22:11
Speaker 1: thing is that it's your dream. But make sure you
22:14
Speaker 1: you know the tire thing up, you know, make sure
22:16
Speaker 1: that you have the releases signed off. Don't just have
22:18
Speaker 1: people talk about I show up. And then also you
22:20
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to get your soul. You run around
22:23
Speaker 1: trying to find releases to sign off on. Be professional
22:26
Speaker 1: from day one, from up start, and that's really important.
22:29
Speaker 1: And that's what you did with this movie. But before
22:31
Speaker 1: we go, I wanted to bring up something about this.
22:33
Speaker 1: This is a social network that you have called life
22:35
Speaker 1: Management Tribe. Oh you know stuff? Whoa okay, all right, okay,
22:45
Speaker 1: So look man, when it really boils down to it,
22:47
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time I used to spend.
22:50
Speaker 1: I used to be a White House consultant, Like literally
22:53
Speaker 1: the White House have becoming. They flynt me in and
22:55
Speaker 1: ask me, oh, you know, how how can we get
22:57
Speaker 1: better engagement? That kind of thing, and I would go
22:59
Speaker 1: through strategies with them. But you know, I've sent a
23:02
Speaker 1: lot of time on social social media. And when I
23:04
Speaker 1: really stopped and ask myself what was going on? Like,
23:06
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to gain nothing that I
23:09
Speaker 1: didn't add any value, you know what I mean. And
23:11
Speaker 1: so I was like, I would love to be a
23:13
Speaker 1: part of a social networks that actually added value, that
23:15
Speaker 1: I could look to that maybe it's inspired me, maybe
23:18
Speaker 1: gave me insight on how to have better health, just
23:21
Speaker 1: keep me in the community of positive people. And you know,
23:24
Speaker 1: with everything going on in politics right now, people just
23:26
Speaker 1: feel like they can just be as disrespectful and as
23:29
Speaker 1: emotionally emotionally inconsiderate as they want to be on social networks.
23:33
Speaker 1: You know, you could build up a huge audience and
23:36
Speaker 1: track a huge audience to Facebook platform, and then out
23:39
Speaker 1: of nowhere they change an algorithm and you no longer
23:42
Speaker 1: have access to that audience. You got to pay them
23:45
Speaker 1: for the ardience you attracted today platform. That just all
23:48
Speaker 1: sounds backwards to me, and I've never been to do
23:50
Speaker 1: that's been comfortable with the status quo. So I was like, look,
23:53
Speaker 1: let me just create my own network and I'm just
23:55
Speaker 1: going to do an experiment. It's just an experiment, and
23:57
Speaker 1: I want to see if I invest as much time
24:00
Speaker 1: as I did in other platforms in my own platform,
24:05
Speaker 1: what what the results be. So that's what I've been
24:08
Speaker 1: doing in life Management Trial dot com. It's just basically
24:11
Speaker 1: that it's just a positive platform to people, you know.
24:14
Speaker 1: And I also I launch a podcast through which so
24:17
Speaker 1: I talked about things that are important to me. So
24:19
Speaker 1: right now I'm going over Anthony Williams book A Medical Medium,
24:24
Speaker 1: which has some really interesting philosophies, but ultimately man just
24:27
Speaker 1: a place that adds value. You go through it and
24:29
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got some information, you've got some encouragement,
24:32
Speaker 1: people hold you accountable. We have challenges on this getting
24:35
Speaker 1: its challenges. We just did a claim to Clarella Claims
24:38
Speaker 1: Challenge where we did Clarella for four days, nothing else,
24:41
Speaker 1: like a detox. It's like, you know what, it's real
24:44
Speaker 1: stuff and and you know, for me, that's just that's
24:46
Speaker 1: that's the life I live and that's what I want
24:48
Speaker 1: to be involved in. As a result of that, I
24:50
Speaker 1: don't really engage as much on the more you know,
24:52
Speaker 1: popular platforms because I'm usually involved in my own platform.
24:56
Speaker 1: But but the reward is much great at my brother
24:58
Speaker 1: and you know, and I've learned it ain't about reaching
25:00
Speaker 1: It ain't about reaching four hundred million people. It's about
25:03
Speaker 1: reaching the people who want to reach you. And also
25:05
Speaker 1: it's like adding value to the people who add value
25:08
Speaker 1: to you than thank you, Thank you. We're gonna talk soon,
25:13
