  Speaker 1: people's success stories and start writing your own. People always

  Speaker 1: Alexander Martin. I'm back. Well, you know, it's a really
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: excited man um um. You know, I'm always reading Black
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Enterprize of reading different different different feeds, and all of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a sudden then it comes up launching for us by
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: US Network. Brother. I had a big smile on my face.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I said, I said, don't who care who we got booked.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I gotta get him back on the show because I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: like to feel like I'm part of this journey. Because
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in two seen we were talking about you were head see.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna get on that stage and just talk
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and talk and talk and not actually giving the results, sir.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And the results is this is a journey. Like I said,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: there's something we talked about. It was an idea and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: then you had it was out there available for the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: journal public to see at that point, but it wasn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: where you wanted to. That's why you're invest uh publicity
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: into marketing and to it. But it's a journey of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: ball is now we all know the brand name, let's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit. And this is we
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: could connect the dots on why you feel it would
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be successful as a network streaming format that you know food,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but of course translated years, I mean it's our anniversary really,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: thirty or thirty years this year would be our anniversary.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So you know, I felt like, you know what, what's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the best way to actually give back to the culture,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to give back to the people that actually sold for us.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: What's going on now I think in this marketplace is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the fact that you know, we don't have anything that's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: basically for us by us, And and when it comes
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to um, you know, streaming world. So again, just like
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: thirty years before, uh you know our time, we were
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: doing it again. Um, this is the brain shout of myself,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: uh and a gentleman which is my production head press
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: president Rush or sorry Roberto Rush Evans, and UM, we're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just trying to do it. We're just trying to you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: be the kings of the streaming world and give you know, someone,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: give everyone actually you know, a taste of what our
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: culture is really about. Right. You know. It's really interesting
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: because you know, for us by US network that seems
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: so perfect, that seems like the perfect title for a network,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: but it was derived from the success of your clothing line.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Now that was started with a simple idea that they
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: grew through proper planning, h passion and desire. Let's go
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: through that journey a little bit, because people do understand
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that all journeys don't happen overnight. Like I said earlier,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you and I was, you know, we were cracking the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Champagne Boto. It started in not the official launch is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: being announced in two. So all journeys, they might start
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: with a dream, but it takes hard work, planning and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of effort to make it happen. Talk about that, well,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I talk about this all the time. You know. Sometimes
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's about timing, you know, and you can go in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and you can have a dream to do what you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: want to do, but it just takes time. You got
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to go through a lot of you know, a lot
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of what they called U call call failures. But I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: don't believe it, says I believe. It's it's the possibility
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to grow. You know, they're all possibilities. And again, if
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I look back at you know, my my partner Damon
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: John when it comes to the food side, and Keith pairing,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Carl Brown, you know, we all came together. You know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to avoid mission to actually you know, get close out
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: there for us by us UM. That acronym has stayed
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: true to us from from then until now. UM I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: happen to take the acronym and use it, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: for another another particular business when it comes to the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: streaming world. But that journey is painstakily, one day at
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a time. You know, one day it's not working, the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: next day is not working. You gotta work even harder
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and harder and harder because it's not working. And in
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the end it actually is working. And when you really
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: think about it, and I think it's just all perspective.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So how you look at it. I mean, Damon had
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a Damon that has necessarily had a vision to make hats,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I mean to make clothing. I came along with a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: separate vision that pushed him along the same way with
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: my partner Rush Robertto Evans, he had a vision um
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: as he was a production company. I wanted to get
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in this space. I had this too, abu should we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: came together and we made this happen Now. The title
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that say, the title the name for us by us,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: How did that come about? Well, that came from day one.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I mean now on the food side. Of course, it
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: came from Damon saying, hey, listen, we need something that's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: for us, that's by us, simple as that. And again
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you know, going forward into using it for streaming. Right now,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: everything's about content, everything about you know, visual, everything is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a visual and that's what everything is about. Now. It's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not necessarily about clothing anymore per se. It's all about
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: getting your content out there and get get worried out there,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: get your name out there, and getting the message out there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So I felt that, you know, this was lacking, this
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: is missing, and it didn't actually belong to us. The
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: words for us, bias was taken from us not taking
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in a bad way, but moved on and moved the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: greed of pastures and better things, and the culture today's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: taking it and embraced it. And it means it doesn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: necessarily mean you know, clothing, it means something else now
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and we're just putting a title to a face or face.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying that That's what's jay is that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's so perfect. You know, it's like, uh, it's like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know, it was a clothing line and we got that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: but today it's an emotion. You know, it is it is.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It is a societal calling. I guess you know that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: we always want to support each other. When you look
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at Google and Google allows you and encourage us to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: put recognize whether you're black business, you know, times have changed.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So when you look at TV you see all these
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: interracial couples on these commercials, you know times have changed.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That we were driven not so much about about who
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we are, is how we feel, and the younger generation
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: not so much driven by a check. It's about what
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you represent, what you're gonna do for the community. What
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is your cause? And the title for us by us,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it's really a cause. And I think that leads to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of positivity, don't you think Jay hud To
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: say leads the positivity. And again I'm it's it's something
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that like I said, we started like day one, like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: thirty years ago, and I just have a mission to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: actually keep that going somehow anyhow, no matter what I do,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: like what I do is not go safe for me
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: for you know others. You know, So again I have
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that have that God put that on my spirit to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to to get this you know company moving the first
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: time as far as food and then He's done it
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: again when it comes to to this, and I think
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that I can reach more people this way versus meeching
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: people um reaching people, uh through you know clothing. We
• 7:29

• 8:40
  Speaker 1: about it, and there's nothing negative close. You can all
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: grow your clothes, you can wear out your clothes, but
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you can't wear out a feeling and you can't wear
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: out knowledge. And that's where I take away and I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: got excited about your network. Let's break down your network.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Talk slowly because I really want
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to hear you know, because you talk about the hip
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: hop culture, You're talked about lifestyle, you're talking about raw content.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Those are really challenging words. And let's explain to my
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: fuels some of them, like I grew up in the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: hip hop culture. The hip hop culture, as you can see,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that dominated the halftime of the Super Bowl. So that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: means that society in general has been accepted within the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: white community. If the NFL says, you know, we don't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: mind Snoop, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and Dr Dre to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: be on a halftime show for the biggest show in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the world outside of soccer, which dominates European you're prean
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: sporting events. So you, my friend, a network. The responsibility
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of the burden is a lot bigger, my brother. I'm
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: just telling you international now immediately, you know that, right,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: You're not You're not You're not dropping some some jeans
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and in a in the borough of New York. You're
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: dropping international immediately. Come on, now, that has to have
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: your mind spending a little bit ja, yes, and I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: think that you know, again, it took me thirty years
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to to figure this out. It took me thirty years
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to be able to be able to to to do
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this because again I had my mind, body, spirit, all
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: had to be in one place in the all sequence.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Everything has to line up perfectly. And so I never
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: rushed time. You know, I always say stuff like, um,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't cheat work in those who's working.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So again I had to work my butt off and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I had to kind of, you know, get my mind
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: right to be able to be able to focus and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: have this responsibility because again, you're right, it's a huge responsibility,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: responsibility to be able to have the eyes and ears
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of of and that means the eyes and ears, but
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: depict what we are and who we are as a culture,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: as individuals, as multicultural urban anyone with color and perspective
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and to be able to to you know, go back
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and be up. And it's the great I guess the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: greatest thing there is and this is this is really
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: no disrespect in anyone, you know, any race, whatever. But
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: again I did my way. I did not have to.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't look at I didn't look to to link
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: on with anyone else, and I didn't look look too,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you know, um to deal with some other you know company.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And again I'm not talking about anybody, per Sae. I'm
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: just saying in general, I just sat back and I said,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it my way, and I'm gonna sit
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in the long logan, the logan. It doesn't matter how
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: long it takes. That's what I'm gonna do. So again,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: we both the platform that's rivaling Netflix. Uh and just
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to give get put a perspective, Apple TV, Android, Samsung,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Amazon fire Stick, Roku. We have a website or we
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: have a number a number of original program original shows
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that's coming out. Um, you know, advertisers like Group black Fide, Smart, Undertone,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Magnite like these are the companies that we're dealing with,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: only top, top, top premier companies. So again I waited,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I waited my turn. I bust my butt. I sat
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: back and said, listen, I'm not gonna do it hooker crook,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and not in a way to where I'm gonna go
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: off to try to um, you know, downplay or do anything.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep to keep going my way and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: if it doesn't work, I'm gonna keep going my way.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what it is all about, drive,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and especially what you're doing. I mean, and listen, you're
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: talking about me. I know it's about me. But again
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I remember, like I said, seventeen and before the way
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: before that, and you've been doing it and now it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: turned and you're still around. You know, I just got
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: here again where you commend you well, thank you. You
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: know the thing about this team right to like I said,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm using my platform to market your platform, and that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the life we have now. But the beauty of what
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you're doing now you can give young people, a young
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: creative artist an opportunity to to to stream their brand,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to be able to build there because all we ever
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: asked for outlets, you know that, Martin, That's all we've
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: ever asked for. And then food Boo gave you gave
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a fashion outlet. That's why I said, this is way bigger,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and that's why I'm too excited to talk about it. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And now I know you know that. I just keep
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: reminded because I'm just so excited because I know that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: there's so many talent of the writers, there's so many
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: time that created people in the documentary field and the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: reality TV film and its episodic field, and the film
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: directors and writers and producers. You are are now developing
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a platform that they can come to. How does one
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: from a creator space get the content to you so
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it can be considered to be on your network? What
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: are the processes the steps for that? Well, what I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: try to do is I just said, give an arm
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to anyone that wants to actually, you know, present something
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we we for now, because we're just starting. We only
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: uh kind of approved content that's all fully packaged, not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: necessarily an idea to say um. But again it's not
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to say that I wouldn't look at an idea. We
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: do UM for now. You know, we eventually we'll have
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to close it for unsolicited um work, but for now
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: we have a wide open. If you email me the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: letter j the letter j AT for us Bias Network
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: dot com, I'll get it to my staff for my team,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: they'll overview it and if they like it, they'll let
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you back. And what's cut a deal? Well, you know
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you send me some banners and posters are definitely posted
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: on my platforms because a lot of people always inquire
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: with me, inquired with me to say, hey, where can
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I go to get my my voice out, my my
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: movies out, and processes like that. Because of the thing
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: about it is day as you know, you know you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you have a responsibility to put out a certain type
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of content because people expect that from your brand, your
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: first class all the way. You see a lot of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: people coming you coming in with the first class name
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and so as people expect that. So with that being said,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: what were the fees involved with trying to say this
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: is what we're gonna charge whether the fees? Is there
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: an app now they can download and so just walk
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: us through the next step. Uh, Because it says to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: generate revenue for your company in order to keep coming
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: up with new content and making the network refresh with
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: uh with the with the with with you know, with
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: storyline and so people want to regie who app brought
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the app? All bot there subscription we want to renew
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: well um. So so basically we have what they call
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: S five a vote and we also have a linear
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: um um set up as linear, so S five being
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: subscription subscription based, so you can actually pay for a subscription.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: The price I believe is coming out to about twenty
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: one dollars. But what we do is we charge for
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: three months front up front. So that's how our planning,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: bill building plan is three months up front. But we
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: also have uh A vote which is v o D
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: or video video on demand program and plus um we
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: also have linear so we have twenty five content as
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: well that you can watch. So we have a merit
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: of different uh UM ways that you could actually watch
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: consume our content. That when it comes to the type
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of content that you spoke up, the type of content
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: is cultural. I mean we have we have you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: our LGB lb G t Q community and I have
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a show with the Gentlemine named Soucy Santana. You know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: we have you know, we have we have problems within
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: our community, you know with um, you know, adoption or
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: problems with you know, crime, but we have problems with
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: drugs and stuff like that. So I'm gonna tell everyone's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: story in an authentic tha way and and and not
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: kind of hold back and make sure everyone has a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: voice per se um so and also I Phil comes
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: like we have script we have scripted, we have faith based,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: we have everything. Everything you want is there right there.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But it's all basically you know, tell it, uh, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: tell it around what who we are and what we think.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Categorized catalogsize, definitely categorized as adventures such such such and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and alex goes on. We will be right back with
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: more Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. Now, let's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rishan McDonald. J
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Alexander and the first time we we we knew each
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: other and we just talked about in seventeen. The second time,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: we had this brilliant book out that I read and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: uh we talked about it and one of the most uh,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite books by the way, Joe, Alexander
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and so and one of the sustaining qualities of the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: book about building sustaining generational wealth for the culture. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that's that's always been your mission because you're not just
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a person. Your community basis you involved and you know
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you and the politics in the sense that you you
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: want to be out there being a decision maker. I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: should say in the community, talk about building and sustaining
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: generational wealth for this culture because it's the culture that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: we want to push beyond. And also say they have
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a voice. Well, you know, the voice comes from the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: problem with this and and I'm I'm very you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to the point a lot of times, because I think
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the problem is is that you know, the first thing
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: we do when we when we we we get something
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is we want to market like mark has become the thing.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: We have to have this, we have to have that.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, again everything's about being ready. There's nothing
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: wrong with treating itself. But treat yourself, not treat your
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: outside self, treat your inside self. You know, treat your mind,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: treat treat your treat your family, treat and by by
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: ways of of generational wealth and in turn of buying
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a home, you know, by those things first and then
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you go off and you buy the other things. Um,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I always tell people, well, I can't spend a dollar
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: unless I made three dollars. You know, we have to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: start giving these practices and stop looking at the shiny
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: object and start understanding how that excuse my friends got shiny,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you know, because you know I it's looking at the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: car when you say that it's the car, the fancy car,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the gold necklace. You know, the shinest that that really
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't prolong success actually just takes your money and as
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: they say, you drive that car off the lot and devalues.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You want under the the jury and de azues instead
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: of trying to figure out how the stock market works,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: how to figure out whether it's big carms or cryptocurrency.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not recommending you do that. At least understand it,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and it may be a way. When he starts talking
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: about generational wealth, buy the new car is not generational wealth.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Buying jurly is not generational wealth. Especially not getting into
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the drug game is generational wealth. And that's what we
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: see that quick. It's not it's like thirty day money.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: It's not even thirty day money. It depends on where
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you want to go. That is where we keep running
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: our heads and bumping our heads. And I think that's
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: one of the inspirations behind you launching the Forest Buyers Network,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: because I get you tired and you're tired of us
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: getting news is not value to our community. On CNN,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: on Fox News, on MSNBC. It's a shallow version because
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: we always hear this term councel culture, which annoys me.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: All I want to know is the truth. I don't
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: want to know is what was my role? Now that
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: are people out there saying if you tell people about
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Slaverytish school, make the white people feel bad, Well, how
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: do you think we feel bad? Come on about I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: know if I get fired up, Jay, that's I had
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to go there because that's what this is. Because you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I get because because that's why I know why we're
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: doing this. That's why. Man, you know something, I just
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: want somebody to tell me if you BT is shifted,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they're not going there. TV one not going there. You know.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: But this is a streaming network. They can't. They can't.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: They can't at all, And I have to stop right there.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: They cannot Again, it goes back to the place of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: creating your own Come on, do tell don't want to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: come in and tell me no, And I'm not gonna
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: distupid you because I'm gonna cancel you. I can't, I don't.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I'm doing with the what what the what the culture wants,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch. So that's that's all I'm saying, because
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: see I am so you know I've been down this journey.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I've been and that first of all, to change him.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: This is no disrespect to TV. Want to bet we're
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: just talking about ontent now. We're talking about like the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: black news challenel just got canceled, got canceled, Okay because
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the fact that and they had upgraded the quality of
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the apprecentation. That's the sad part about it. Employees gone
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: got canceled. Let's gonna use the word got canceled. What
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: about the family? Yes? And what about the story that
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: they were trying to tell? So now where do we
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: go for our news? Our stories all? Because when you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: look at no different than going to MTV. They don't
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: play music anymore. They do reality show, sitcoms and game
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: show now BT there into dramas they don't do they launched,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: so they don't even do news on those channels anymore.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Same thing with TV one. So now look at yours.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Is there a place in your network and your streaming
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: network that's gonna allow us to feel whole because it
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: allows us to get information that will allow us as
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: community participants to go there on a regular basis. Is
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that the purpose of foo boo? Yes, yes, that's the purpose.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And what I was trying to do, to be honest,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: prior to this, was to reach out to these particular
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: news groups and and do a deal with them and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: which they would kind of maybe stream their content and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: stream them on hour just when network. I haven't been
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: successful in that process, but I'm I'm I feel that
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I will finally get get something together. Um again, you
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people I always reach out and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: try to try to at least get with the get
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: out scoot us, you know, and if I can't get
