3:29
Speaker 1: night was our super Bowl. They had their WrestleMania pay
3:31
Speaker 1: per view, and so we have Uh. The w w
3:35
Speaker 1: E Championship was won by a black man, which is
3:39
Speaker 1: the first time in the business. You know, The Rock
3:42
Speaker 1: also hosted the championship at one point, but the company
3:45
Speaker 1: celebrated his some moing side of his heritage, and they
3:49
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't present him as a black man. So
3:51
Speaker 1: this is the first time that a real brother who
3:55
Speaker 1: identifies as a brother, who's bed position as a brother
3:58
Speaker 1: wasn't the belt. And I was hooping and holler and
4:00
Speaker 1: so much. I was like, oh, I gotta do a
4:02
Speaker 1: radio interview in the morning. I might need to pull
4:04
Speaker 1: this back a little bit. So, Um, it's been a
4:06
Speaker 1: good weekend, man, I've been excited to talk to you. Um,
4:10
Speaker 1: and it's been an amazing start to two guys of
4:12
Speaker 1: the nicety man. So many things going on. Okay, we
4:15
Speaker 1: can't forget now Becky lynch Now I'm excited for Becky Liz.
4:21
Speaker 1: Let me find out you down who have to go
4:24
Speaker 1: to a match together? Um, but yeah, I was excited
4:28
Speaker 1: about Becky lynch Man. But listen, Kofi kings Man, who
4:31
Speaker 1: won the belt last night, is a friend of mine,
4:34
Speaker 1: and you know, his journey has really inspired me because
4:37
Speaker 1: you know, the TV component of my career has been
4:40
Speaker 1: my has been my face. Two is in my act too.
4:43
Speaker 1: You know, I started as an entertainment writer, which put
4:46
Speaker 1: me into radio, and the radio and writing was an
4:50
Speaker 1: amazing blessing for me. I did a syndicated morning show
4:54
Speaker 1: for six years. I was at the number one African
4:56
Speaker 1: American website for seven years. I literally got to see
5:00
Speaker 1: the world or somebody else's dime, make amazing relationships, do
5:05
Speaker 1: bucket list experiences, and make money while doing it. But
5:09
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I went through a
5:10
Speaker 1: phase about maybe five or six years ago where I
5:13
Speaker 1: really started to feel burned out and I was unfulfilled
5:17
Speaker 1: because you know, that was my Plan B, and my
5:20
Speaker 1: Plan B was an amazing blessing, but it was really
5:23
Speaker 1: distracting me from my Plan A, which was television. I
5:26
Speaker 1: got into this business because I saw guys like Tom
5:29
Speaker 1: bergeron and we just filming at our Cineo hall, and
5:34
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in the hosting space. I wanted
5:36
Speaker 1: to do daytime talk, I wanted to do specialty TV
5:39
Speaker 1: on Caveboy and so um I needed to work back
5:42
Speaker 1: towards that. So watching my friend Kofy, who I had
5:45
Speaker 1: just had dinner with him maybe about five years ago,
5:48
Speaker 1: when he was at a very low point in his career.
5:51
Speaker 1: He was frustrated the company wasn't really doing anything with him.
5:55
Speaker 1: They hadn't launched this at new uh TAG team that
5:58
Speaker 1: he was a part of called Didn't You Day, and
6:01
Speaker 1: he's just gonna trying to figure out where the journey
6:03
Speaker 1: went from there. And so to see where he was
6:05
Speaker 1: then and him even thinking about, you know, hanging up
6:08
Speaker 1: his trunk and using his marketing degree somewhere else, and
6:12
Speaker 1: to watch them win this championship last night, it was
6:16
Speaker 1: just great encouragement for a guy like me who's hustling
6:20
Speaker 1: in the phase two of his career to say, sometimes
6:22
Speaker 1: if you just keep doing the work and stay on
6:25
Speaker 1: the journey, all the elements of line up just the
6:27
Speaker 1: way they're supposed to. It's really true, because first of all,
6:29
Speaker 1: you have to give a props because our conversation wasn't
6:33
Speaker 1: h predetermined, pre pre prerecorded. You started talking about w
6:39
Speaker 1: W E and I sleeve right on the end with
6:41
Speaker 1: the information. Now you got see, see what you gotta
6:43
Speaker 1: do is give me some love or not. I kinda
6:46
Speaker 1: give you the love for that. And I want to
6:47
Speaker 1: congratulate you. You have a Wikipedia page that is a
6:51
Speaker 1: that is a that's a phenomenal testament of your work
6:54
Speaker 1: to be recognized in an international platform. Now you're shooting
6:57
Speaker 1: a lifestyle series for the DC officers and Cable. Tell
7:00
Speaker 1: us exactly before we get to the show, what exactly
7:03
Speaker 1: is the DC office of Cable and TV. It's funny
7:07
Speaker 1: man um. So when I started in the business, my
7:10
Speaker 1: very first boss was a beautiful radio personality who's also
7:13
Speaker 1: with you on Serious exem She's on the Heart and
7:16
Speaker 1: Soul Channel. Her name is Michelle Wright. And Michelle Wright
7:19
Speaker 1: was doing this TV show here in DC called the
7:22
Speaker 1: two oh two and it was this really flashy morning entertainment,
7:27
Speaker 1: uh talk show situation, and it looks really good on
7:30
Speaker 1: social media. And I kept saying, what is this? And
7:33
Speaker 1: she was like, I want you to come in and
7:36
Speaker 1: meet with the team here. And so I went over
7:38
Speaker 1: to this office, which used to be one of the
7:41
Speaker 1: former b ET headquarters. And I had no no idea
7:45
Speaker 1: that Washington, d C had this government sanctions, TV, radio, film,
7:52
Speaker 1: and entertainment facility right in the heart of downtown. And
7:56
Speaker 1: the lady who runs the office, director and g Gates,
7:59
Speaker 1: I knew her because she used to run the one
8:01
Speaker 1: in theater here and she was like, I've been dying
8:04
Speaker 1: to get you to host one of our programs. You
8:06
Speaker 1: were doing all this national TV, but install for you
8:09
Speaker 1: to come and work at home. And so they have
8:12
Speaker 1: three channels here on DC Cable, then got um uh
8:16
Speaker 1: to h D radio channels. And when films and movies
8:20
Speaker 1: and TV shows come to d C, they're the office
8:23
Speaker 1: that helps arrange all of that stuff. They're a part
8:26
Speaker 1: of the Film Commission and all of that as well.
8:28
Speaker 1: And so I'm hosting a show for them, uh, for
8:31
Speaker 1: their entertainment channel called maide in d C. And it's
8:34
Speaker 1: a lifestyle show that really celebrates businesses and entrepreneurs and
8:39
Speaker 1: entities that were made in this city, created in this city,
8:43
Speaker 1: and are offering assets and resources to this city and
8:46
Speaker 1: It's really a great extension of some of the stuff
8:49
Speaker 1: that I was doing for a while at the Travel Channel.
8:51
Speaker 1: And um, it feels great to be able to, um,
8:54
Speaker 1: you know, really work at home. I got to go
8:56
Speaker 1: and co host the mayor's inaugural ball as a part
8:58
Speaker 1: of this relation ship, and uh, you know, being able
9:02
Speaker 1: to to to have the Hollywood experience in your hometown
9:06
Speaker 1: is a great thing. Well, I think importantly that you
9:08
Speaker 1: bring that resume and that's what this is all about,
9:11
Speaker 1: you know, and you can contact a person like me
9:13
Speaker 1: and I comfortably will give you a contact to another
9:16
Speaker 1: person to be able to build that bread. Because d
9:18
Speaker 1: C is a destination city. You know, everybody's coming to
9:22
Speaker 1: d C, everybody to do television shows. Their media is
9:25
Speaker 1: a you know, radio one is set up there, a
9:27
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of television networks are set up
9:29
Speaker 1: in the DC area. A lot of the of course,
9:32
Speaker 1: you know, the heart of the government's in the DC area.
9:34
Speaker 1: When you do a show like maybe d C which
9:35
Speaker 1: reminds me of a show that I grew up called
9:37
Speaker 1: PM Magazine. There was a local show that really it
9:41
Speaker 1: really was the information source of what happens in that
9:44
Speaker 1: in that community, which the community at time. With Houston
9:47
Speaker 1: and the d C, you also have Maryland, you have Virginia,
9:51
Speaker 1: so you're really covering a lot of places other than
9:54
Speaker 1: d C. Are just just DC proper. Well, this particular
9:57
Speaker 1: show because it is a part of these to take
10:00
Speaker 1: a little cluster of channels, it's really about the heart
10:03
Speaker 1: of downtown DCO. But everybody in this area, you know,
10:06
Speaker 1: we we love the d m V. That's what we
10:08
Speaker 1: call it. DC Marrowers of Virginia. And I tell people
10:11
Speaker 1: all the time when they asked me about the area,
10:13
Speaker 1: because if everything is so close, the city really is
10:15
Speaker 1: kind of shaped like an egg. If you boil an egg,
10:19
Speaker 1: the yoke would be the heart of downtown d C.
10:22
Speaker 1: And on the white, all the white part on the
10:24
Speaker 1: outside would be that loop that takes you from Virginia
10:26
Speaker 1: to Maryland. And there's literally a highway that you could
10:29
Speaker 1: get on in loop from Virginia to Maryland and never
10:32
Speaker 1: get off the highway. Yeah, yeah, you want to get
10:35
Speaker 1: off that highway because that traffic on that highway and
10:41
Speaker 1: feel like a ball, You feel like a traffic. Now
10:44
Speaker 1: let's talk about you know you've been We talked a
10:46
Speaker 1: little bit about being a social media influencer. You know,
10:49
Speaker 1: they say if once you get over fifty of any
10:51
Speaker 1: you can be an influencer. Depends on your engagement, you
10:54
Speaker 1: could be an influenza. What what what is? What is
10:57
Speaker 1: the direction you're trying to take your influence as a
11:00
Speaker 1: social media influencer. Well, you know, one of the things, um,
11:04
Speaker 1: so entertainment is how I kept my teeth in the business.
11:06
Speaker 1: But you know, I really don't like to be boxed
11:09
Speaker 1: into just that, like, um, you know, when I have
11:11
Speaker 1: to do cable news or some of the daytime talk
11:14
Speaker 1: shows and stuff. When I have to go do entertainment topics,
11:16
Speaker 1: I literally most times, and I can do them without
11:19
Speaker 1: little to no prep because I'm so well versed and
11:22
Speaker 1: most of the people and the topics it doesn't require
11:25
Speaker 1: the work that it does if I'm going in talking
11:27
Speaker 1: about the social issues or some cultural impact issues or
11:31
Speaker 1: more lifestyle oriented issues. And so my social media for
11:34
Speaker 1: me is being able to uh share the totality of
11:38
Speaker 1: who I am, you know, um working in entertainment originally
11:43
Speaker 1: and living in d C, which was considered a political city,
11:46
Speaker 1: I had to travel a significant amount of time, so
11:49
Speaker 1: I ended up becoming like an accidental travel expert um.
11:53
Speaker 1: You know, even doing a hundred thousand frequent fire miles
11:56
Speaker 1: a year, I can tell you which restaurants are the
11:59
Speaker 1: best at very airports. People email me and contact me
12:03
Speaker 1: about where to stay and what to do, and I
12:05
Speaker 1: can definitely tell you where all the best street art
12:08
Speaker 1: and street murals and all the half cities are UM.
12:11
Speaker 1: And so because of that, I like to um include
12:14
Speaker 1: a lot of my travel influence and my travel ideas
12:18
Speaker 1: and and and my voyages on the road on my
12:21
Speaker 1: social media because people love to try to emulate the
12:24
Speaker 1: experiences that I have in the travel space and live
12:27
Speaker 1: by for those who don't travel as much, try to
12:29
Speaker 1: live vicariously through me. But you know, as as an
12:33
Speaker 1: inn result of that, you know, that was one of
12:35
Speaker 1: the main reasons of how I ended up doing some
12:38
Speaker 1: some hosting and some programming over at Travel Channel. They
12:41
Speaker 1: love the fact that I was just kind of Hollywood
12:44
Speaker 1: is kind of guy, but was always on the road
12:47
Speaker 1: and could talk to you about destinations all over the world.
12:51

19:24
Speaker 1: they will hit you up for for all of your
19:26
Speaker 1: dollars before you top that flight. So, so, Michael, you're
19:30
Speaker 1: My relationship officially started on the Steve Harvey Show. Correct, Yeah, yeah,
19:36
Speaker 1: And Steve Harvey showed the talk show that we launched
19:39
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I know people who are not famous. You
19:42
Speaker 1: done big jobs in Chicago when you're doing simultaneously working
19:45
Speaker 1: for the Steve Harvey Show, and you asked me about
19:48
Speaker 1: that I go. Or if you don't get out of
19:50
Speaker 1: my face and learned that there's twenty four hours in
19:52
Speaker 1: the day and learn to use all those hours, please
19:55
Speaker 1: go do that work, because that's all that's what is about. Correct, Yes, no,
19:59
Speaker 1: you that was one of the craziest things, you know,
20:01
Speaker 1: like I was saying before, you know, I worked on
20:05
Speaker 1: the Steve Harvey Show, you know, as a set designer.
20:08
Speaker 1: And I don't know if most people know we're working
20:10
Speaker 1: on that show twelve hours a day. And I have
20:14
Speaker 1: designed clients who are calling me and they don't care
20:18
Speaker 1: that I'm working with Steve Harvey at the TV station.
20:22
Speaker 1: They want me there at their homes. And so I
20:24
Speaker 1: had to hire an assistant, and that's that was expensive,
20:28
Speaker 1: you know, hire a full time assistant to basically be
20:30
Speaker 1: that voice while I while I wasn't um physically on
20:34
Speaker 1: the property. But what happened was that allowed me to
20:37
Speaker 1: continue to grow my brand. And you know, that was
20:40
Speaker 1: the first time I went from working on like little
20:43
Speaker 1: two thousand dollar budgets to half a million dollar budgets, um.
20:47
Speaker 1: And so it was just a life changing experience when
20:50
Speaker 1: I was on the show in Chicago. But I think
20:53
Speaker 1: what resonated with me. The most was another conversation that
20:57
Speaker 1: you and I had um. And this is when I
21:00
Speaker 1: was very, very money hungry, and I don't know if
21:03
Speaker 1: you remember. I came into your office and I said,
21:06
Speaker 1: I want to I want to talk to you about
21:09
Speaker 1: writing a book. And you said, well, why do you
21:11
Speaker 1: want to write a book? I said, because I want
21:13
Speaker 1: to make money like everybody else. And you told me
21:15
Speaker 1: to leave your office and you said you need to
21:18
Speaker 1: leave because you don't get it, and you come back
21:20
Speaker 1: to me when you get it. And I was I
21:24
Speaker 1: was kind of shocked that, you know you you told
21:27
Speaker 1: me to leave the office. But it must have been
21:29
Speaker 1: about a year later. I was doing the Neighborhood awards
21:33
Speaker 1: with you, and the lady walked up to me and
21:35
Speaker 1: I had I had several women walking up saying, Hey,
21:38
Speaker 1: can you come redesign my house? Can you come to
21:40
Speaker 1: my house? And I'm like, I can't just come to
21:43
Speaker 1: your house. And I remember coming to you saying Mr McDonald,
21:46
Speaker 1: I have all these people asking if I could come
21:48
Speaker 1: to the house and I can't. But what I can
21:51
Speaker 1: do is put together a design seminar where I can
21:55
Speaker 1: travel to different cities and I can teach people what
21:58
Speaker 1: they can do UM and there a respective city since
22:01
Speaker 1: I can't physically come to their house. And that's when
22:03
Speaker 1: you told me, you know what you get it now
22:06
Speaker 1: it's not about you, it's about you helping someone else.
22:10
Speaker 1: And so it was just like all of those tools.
22:13
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if you remember that conversation,
22:15
Speaker 1: but it was that. That was a big thing for
22:18
Speaker 1: me because moving forward with every single thing that I
22:21
Speaker 1: do with my brand, if I have one thought about
22:24
Speaker 1: I just want to make the money, I stopped and
22:26
Speaker 1: I always go back to that conversation that you told
22:29
Speaker 1: what you told me. You know, if it's about the money,
22:31
Speaker 1: it's never going to work. No, it's never gonna work.
22:36
Speaker 1: You know. I always tell people that there were many
22:39
Speaker 1: opportunities I passed on money for the opportunity. I remember
22:42
Speaker 1: when I was doing, UM, what I was doing. I
22:45
Speaker 1: went from Steve Harvey's first TV show in ABC, and
22:49
Speaker 1: I went to UH Robert Townsend Show and UH and
22:52
Speaker 1: and I was I was a writer and UH and
22:56
Speaker 1: so I wanted to change in title. I wanted to
22:59
Speaker 1: change in title. I said, look, I had a bigger
23:01
Speaker 1: title on the previous show because I went over here
23:03
Speaker 1: to the w B. They knocked my title back down.
23:07
Speaker 1: I said, I just want the title. I don't want
23:10
Speaker 1: the money. They had never heard that before. I said,
23:13
Speaker 1: people don't know. People don't need to know that I'm
23:15
Speaker 1: not getting paid this extra amount of money. It's between
23:17
Speaker 1: its when you sign a release that you won't tell anybody.
23:19
Speaker 1: I said, yes, because it's about the brand. It's about
23:24
Speaker 1: people understanding that I am rising up, that I am
23:28
Speaker 1: making a difference. And once you people start coming to
23:31
Speaker 1: you and you change that tone that hey, I'm here
23:33
Speaker 1: to help you, your career is taken off. Your whole approach.
23:37
Speaker 1: You know, our conversations changed, we were we went from
23:41
Speaker 1: just being a mentor of the mentee to like partners
23:44
Speaker 1: in the conversation. Next step, what you're gonna do? Why
23:47
Speaker 1: are you gonna do these things? And that's why the
23:49
Speaker 1: evolution of you from introducing you to contact the real,
23:53
Speaker 1: real real Housewives of Atlanta, talking to your agents. And
23:57
Speaker 1: I've talked to everybody in his life, you know, everybody.
24:00
Speaker 1: He was representing him because I believe in Michael Well
24:04
Speaker 1: and to see him advanced this part in his life
24:07
Speaker 1: and to see him um do the things that he's
24:10
Speaker 1: gonna do. What advice would you give to people who
24:13
Speaker 1: want to do what you want to do? I just
24:15
Speaker 1: want to be successful in life, becail Um. I think
24:18
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I've learned in the past twelve
24:22
Speaker 1: years and design is to really focus on what it
24:28
Speaker 1: is that you want to do. You can't be a
24:30
Speaker 1: jack of all trades, but most importantly narrowed down what
24:33
Speaker 1: you want to do and then find a mentor, find
24:36
Speaker 1: someone who has already done it and who can show
24:39
Speaker 1: you the ropes, because that, for me has been the
24:43
Speaker 1: biggest help you know to be because everybody's not going
24:46
Speaker 1: to be in a room with you because and I
24:48
Speaker 1: recognize that, like, but you need to find people who
24:52
Speaker 1: know the way. And I always go back to another
24:55
Speaker 1: conversation that you and I had where it was about
24:58
Speaker 1: looking at your friends circle and if you're considered the
25:02
Speaker 1: strongest person in your circle, you might want to revamp
25:06
Speaker 1: that circle that you're in because you should always be
25:08
Speaker 1: learning from someone else and not just you know, everybody
25:12
Speaker 1: else taking from you. And so I would just say,
25:15
Speaker 1: you know, get a mentor and follow as hard as
25:19
Speaker 1: you can and then begin to make your own way.
25:22
Speaker 1: And for me, that is what has truly helped me
25:25
Speaker 1: in my career. You have plenty of pictures in your home,

Speaker 1: check in on our house while I was at work,

Speaker 1: and a friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical, but decided
27:33
Speaker 1: to give it a shot, and I bought a Blink
27:35
Speaker 1: camera system. With our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere,
27:39
Speaker 1: and monthly fees, we couldn't get out of my bad
27:42
Speaker 1: But our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras
27:45
Speaker 1: that work inside and outside their wire, free, easy to
27:47

29:12
Speaker 1: on the line. This first time we spoke. I did
29:16
Speaker 1: a little short chat before we got online here just
29:18
Speaker 1: to break the ice lit him or I love him
29:20
Speaker 1: and respect him. My first next guest is a husband,

29:32
Speaker 1: Please welcome to Money Making Conversation. Brandon Copeland. How you
29:38
Speaker 1: do pretty good brand? Okay, Brandon? You know I always
29:42
Speaker 1: always go through the bios. I really try to take
29:44
Speaker 1: my time and get a little nuggets. And so when
29:47
Speaker 1: I see something like a believer in Christ, that means
29:51
Speaker 1: that that's something that's important to you because it's part
29:53
Speaker 1: of your bio. Why is it important for you to
29:56
Speaker 1: say that and have its part of your bio? Well,
30:00
Speaker 1: I know I would literally not be where I'm at
30:03
Speaker 1: today without that, um, without God. I mean, there's so
30:07
Speaker 1: many times in my life, you know, if you look
30:11
Speaker 1: at football, but then also bigger than life and bigger
30:15
Speaker 1: than football. Um, there's so many different things that have
30:19
Speaker 1: seen and witnessed and just a miracle of life in general.
30:24
Speaker 1: You know, I know for a fact that I would
30:26
Speaker 1: not be here without without his blessing. And uh that
30:31
Speaker 1: that's I think we look at even simple stuff like
30:36
Speaker 1: just the mindset I'm blessed with. You see, and you
30:39
Speaker 1: speak to a lot of people in your in your show,
30:42
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you leave a lot of those conversations
30:44
Speaker 1: like wow, like that person there's something different about him,
30:48
Speaker 1: like that the way he takes information and instead of
30:52
Speaker 1: it letting, instead of it being a deterrent to him
30:57
Speaker 1: or an obstacle to him, he turns out into motivations.
31:00
Speaker 1: Have here sheets us in the motivation somehow? Right? Like that?
31:03
Speaker 1: To me, it is a simple blessing, right because I
31:07
Speaker 1: could have a personality that took that and use that
31:11
Speaker 1: as an excuse or an obstacle for why I wasn't
31:14
Speaker 1: great or why I couldn't make it. So um. So yeah,
31:17
Speaker 1: that's where everything starts. Well, you know, it's interesting because
31:20
Speaker 1: in the game of football, especially professional football, faith is
31:24
Speaker 1: a big component. You see a lot of players and
31:27
Speaker 1: a lot of players sharing prayer before especially after the game.
31:31
Speaker 1: Why why do you feel it's such a strong route
31:35
Speaker 1: and uh, the game of professional football faith. Wow, that's
31:39
Speaker 1: a that's a great question. I think. I think there's
31:45
Speaker 1: it starts with your upbringing. Um. And I think that
31:48
Speaker 1: you actually see a lot of teams praying together before
31:53
Speaker 1: a game. Um. You know do you, like you said,
31:55
Speaker 1: you have this prayer circles, you have your Bible studies
31:58
Speaker 1: on teams and stuff like that, and those just select
32:00
Speaker 1: group of guys that choose to do those. But then
32:03
Speaker 1: even as like a locker room, we pray together before
32:06
Speaker 1: and after every single day, right, which I think is
32:08
Speaker 1: pretty powerful. Um And and ultimately you know there, I
32:14
Speaker 1: was actually just having a conversation about understanding about the
32:17
Speaker 1: battle of preseason and going into a preseason camp and
32:22
Speaker 1: football being one of the most Uh this is going
32:25
Speaker 1: in the year seven for me, but my rookie year,
32:27
Speaker 1: I realized that football was one of the most cutthroat
32:32
Speaker 1: but beautiful sports at the same time, and the fact
32:35
Speaker 1: that like you literally can sit in the room where
32:39
Speaker 1: there's seven linebackers, right, and you know they're only four
32:43
Speaker 1: of you are going to make the team, but you
32:45
Speaker 1: still find a way to be friends and still find
32:47
Speaker 1: a way to help each other. Like I meant that
32:49
Speaker 1: I'm literally fighting to take your job or you're not
32:53
Speaker 1: going to be able to pay your bills this year
32:55
Speaker 1: from the NFL per se specifically because it's me. But
33:01
Speaker 1: we still find a way to coach each other up
33:05
Speaker 1: and help each other out and laugh and joke off
33:07
Speaker 1: the field and build relationships. And I think that that
33:09
Speaker 1: all has to do with faith, right. I think one
33:12
Speaker 1: of the things the pieces of advice that God gave
33:15
Speaker 1: to me my Ricky year, it was like, you can't
33:17
Speaker 1: stress what you can't control, and some of the decisions made,
33:21
Speaker 1: especially in the NFL locker room and the businesses sports,
33:25
Speaker 1: are well out of your control, and that's all up
33:29
Speaker 1: to God. All you can do is work as hard
33:30
Speaker 1: as possible, prepare, train, and and leave it all out
33:34
Speaker 1: there on the field and let God take care of
33:36
Speaker 1: the rest, right and for good or bad. You know,
33:40
Speaker 1: you might look at a decision as bad in the moment,
33:44
Speaker 1: but it might be you know, it's God's plan, It's
33:48
Speaker 1: God's work and in the long run, it's it's all
33:51
Speaker 1: in in your favor in my opinion. So absolutely, that's
33:56
Speaker 1: why I wanted to bring that out because you know,
33:58
Speaker 1: football is such an interesting sport, you know, because faith
34:01
Speaker 1: plays are such a major play in it. And then
34:04
Speaker 1: they go out on the field and somehow faith doesn't
34:09
Speaker 1: play a role in the tackling though. It's like, you
34:14
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's a guy coming at you
34:17
Speaker 1: branded uh four four four four to speed you. You
34:21
Speaker 1: look at them going, okay, really you you're gonna come
34:23
Speaker 1: at me like that. I'm gonna come at you like that,
34:25
Speaker 1: and we're gonna man up in a minute at this
34:28
Speaker 1: yard line. And so that's why it's a really an
34:31
Speaker 1: amazing sport because it's a blessing, but it also has
34:33
Speaker 1: a physical timeline tied to it. And I the one
34:37
Speaker 1: in my tone, I realized, you're an undrafted free agent
34:40
Speaker 1: according to your bio, and you said, I'm going into
34:43
Speaker 1: my seventh year in the league, and you know how
34:45
Speaker 1: it is, so every year you've been grinding, grinding, So
34:48
Speaker 1: faith has has has played a major role because guess what,
34:52
Speaker 1: you just never know what happens, you know, the one
34:54
Speaker 1: talking negative but you just never know. And so now
34:57
Speaker 1: your seventh year, where are you in respective to all
35:01
Speaker 1: of this, what's the next step for you? Yeah? I
35:04
Speaker 1: think UM. For me personally, I always say when you
35:08
Speaker 1: could ask what your other and I said, going into
35:10
Speaker 1: year seven, god willing you know, UM, And I really
35:13
Speaker 1: believe that. UM. I literally take things one day at
35:17
Speaker 1: a time. So for me personally, football has always been
35:21
Speaker 1: a means to an end. Uh. In high school, I
35:24
Speaker 1: remember using football as my way to get to college. UH.
35:29
Speaker 1: Then college it was okay, Hey, I can take this
35:32
Speaker 1: and get to the NFL, and that will be my
35:35
Speaker 1: way to start my own empire, build my own business,
35:39
Speaker 1: create my own culture, you know, change people's lives, all
35:42
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and that would be startup capital. So
35:45
Speaker 1: for me now in year seven, you know, I'm I'm
35:49
Speaker 1: in the midst of actually creating that empire. I'm doing
35:53
Speaker 1: real estate. I'm i'm a professor of financial literacy and
35:56
Speaker 1: my alma mater, I have a foundation. I'm I'm working
35:59
Speaker 1: on uh production company and producing content and stuff like that. Um.
36:06
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm Year seven for me is one of
36:10
Speaker 1: the culmination of a lot of hard work. I finally
36:13
Speaker 1: got the chance to start this past season and had
36:16
Speaker 1: my best season yet. And now I'm playing on building
36:19
Speaker 1: or that this this season and you know, tearing it
36:22
Speaker 1: up on the field first and foremost, but then also
36:26
Speaker 1: really hustling up off the field to create that empire
36:30
Speaker 1: and that financial freedom for myself and my family for
36:32
Speaker 1: the rest of our lives. And that is my my
36:36
Speaker 1: ultimate goal is when I'm done football, to be able
36:39
Speaker 1: to tell people this. I used to get shy and
36:42
Speaker 1: saying this, and I used to feel a little, you know,
36:44
Speaker 1: reserved by saying this. But I'll take back the cockiness
36:50
Speaker 1: or the arrogance that it comes off. As you know,
36:53
Speaker 1: I'll explain it. But I literally want to do what
36:55
Speaker 1: I want when I want when I'm done football. That
36:58
Speaker 1: can see a lot of things. If you're a graduate
37:01
Speaker 1: of an IVY League school, I knew exactly who you are.
37:04
Speaker 1: Can't about take that away from you, Brandon. You know,
37:07
Speaker 1: this is about branding, because see there are two things
37:09
Speaker 1: that stand out with when you go out in the
37:12
Speaker 1: general market. Because that because that IVY League graduate that
37:15
Speaker 1: screams intelligence, whoa that screams smart and so so that's part.
37:22
Speaker 1: And then you're starting linebacker for that's for the New
37:26
Speaker 1: York Jets and Exclusive Club. So you got two things
37:29
Speaker 1: going for you. You're physically a member of the Exclusive
37:31
Speaker 1: Club and you're super intelligent because you're an IVY League graduate. Hey,
37:35
Speaker 1: I graduated from Universe Houston. I'm proud of my university.
37:38
Speaker 1: But I can't see I'm an IVY League graduate and
37:43
Speaker 1: so and I only say that because I want you
37:45
Speaker 1: to understand. Man, you got something going here and and uh,
37:50
Speaker 1: and I want you to really take time. And I
37:51
Speaker 1: don't say you're not taking time because you got your
37:54
Speaker 1: you got your class life one on one going at
37:56
Speaker 1: the University of Pennsylvania. But my man, you can be
37:59
Speaker 1: way bigger in this. You in New York City. You're
38:02
Speaker 1: in New York City. You should be going down to
38:05
Speaker 1: Facebook doing some webinars, doing some Facebook lives. You should
38:08
Speaker 1: be doing some periscopes, because, my man, you had I've
38:12
Speaker 1: had a lot of people. Eddie George's powerful. I've had
38:14
Speaker 1: him on my show. He teaches classes at the Ohio
38:17
Speaker 1: State similar tone, but you are still playing. So he's retired.
38:22
Speaker 1: So you got it and you figured that out while
38:24
Speaker 1: you were playing that right there, my friend, you need
38:27
Speaker 1: to build on you need to understand how special you
38:29
Speaker 1: really are and you owned something very unique and you're
38:32

Speaker 1: I bought a Blink camera system. With our last security system,
41:15
Speaker 1: false alarms, wires everywhere, and monthly fees, we couldn't get

Speaker 1: it was just my cool new device being delivered. Hey,

42:54
Speaker 1: Making Conversations. The mastermind behind Culture Collective music executive and
43:00
Speaker 1: investor Jonathan A. Zoo, thank you for having me. I
43:05
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Well, you know, appreciate when I bring people
43:08
Speaker 1: on the show. I want people know where they're on
43:09
Speaker 1: the show. Yes, yes, you know, and well put guess
43:14
Speaker 1: what I'll saying? Well put, well they tell me about
43:17
Speaker 1: this because you know your management we are as a
43:20
Speaker 1: person who's managed talent before and currently still managing talent.
43:24
Speaker 1: You know when I stop managing Steve Harbor, I thought
43:25
Speaker 1: I was done. I said, you know, uh, and then
43:28
Speaker 1: all of a sudden I got pulled back in, Jonathan,
43:30
Speaker 1: I got pulled back here. People people read the bio.
43:34
Speaker 1: This can you do? Certainly it is a favor, you know.
43:36
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend time because a lot of
43:38
Speaker 1: people don't understand boy management. Is that your part uh husband,
43:43
Speaker 1: poor wife, port friend, port council, port father, part dog.
43:47
Speaker 1: You're a lot of things when you manage talent. Please
43:50
Speaker 1: tell people your experience. Am I am? I not missing.
43:54
Speaker 1: I am not trying to mislead people when they're getting
43:56
Speaker 1: into the management game. You have to invest your time
43:59
Speaker 1: both were emotionally and physically into somebody's success. Yeah, you
44:04
Speaker 1: you really do you you give up every aspect of
44:06
Speaker 1: who you are, and it's it's a lifestyle business. And
44:10
Speaker 1: I've been able to experience that at a very high level, um,
44:14
Speaker 1: you know, with with a variety of different managers and
44:17
Speaker 1: artists you know, at every shape and size, but the
44:20
Speaker 1: one commonality, one denominator, is that it's it leads to
44:25
Speaker 1: every aspect of your life, right. And so I always
44:28
Speaker 1: like to say, when you're evaluating whether you want to
44:31
Speaker 1: manage an artists, it's it's almost like do you want
44:33
Speaker 1: to get married? Right at that level, as you know,
44:38
Speaker 1: right where you know you will end up talking with
44:42
Speaker 1: that person potentially more than anyone that you in your
44:45
Speaker 1: own personal family. Um. Because that's just that's that's just
44:48
Speaker 1: the nature of the business. And that's why I always
44:50
Speaker 1: tell people that, Like when I gotta share my story
44:53
Speaker 1: so it becomes relatable as to why I got on
44:55
Speaker 1: the show. Like when Steve Harvey approached me, I was
44:58
Speaker 1: successful sitcom writer, very successful in Hollywood in and he
45:03
Speaker 1: asked me to start managing his career. He had we
45:05
Speaker 1: had just taped Kings of Comedy, and I was kind
45:09
Speaker 1: of like on the fence if I was managing him,
45:11
Speaker 1: was very successful, but I didn't really we didn't really
45:15
Speaker 1: become successful until two thousand and five when I decided
45:19
Speaker 1: to really invest one into managing. The reason I say
45:23
Speaker 1: that is that if you want somebody to be successful,
45:25
Speaker 1: you cannot do it part time. You really can't. You
45:30
Speaker 1: really can. It's it's impossible, fact, to be honest with you.
45:33
Speaker 1: You know, I've got two young children, um five and one,
45:37
Speaker 1: you know, and in a beautiful wife, and and they
45:40
Speaker 1: loved the industry that I'm in. And it's great too
45:43
Speaker 1: because I've opened them up to the business and you know, my, my, my,
45:47
Speaker 1: my artists and clients, UH know them just as well
45:50
Speaker 1: as they know me. And it's hard to not have
45:52
Speaker 1: it that way. You know, some people may see you
45:54
Speaker 1: need that separation. But because we live in this lifestyle
45:57
Speaker 1: business where you know, Thursday's, Friday, Saturday's where most people
46:00
Speaker 1: are thinking about the weekend and taking the time and
46:04
Speaker 1: leaning back and checking out, we're checking in right. There's
46:09
Speaker 1: always something going on, right, So it's it's pretty you know,
46:12
Speaker 1: it's difficult to not really open up your whole life
46:16
Speaker 1: to the people that you work with. That's why it
46:18
Speaker 1: has to work. When I talk about the marriage, part.
46:20
Speaker 1: That's why it has to be a fit. It can't
46:22
Speaker 1: be a thing where you're just doing it too to
46:25
Speaker 1: get by, or you're just doing it because of the money.
46:28
Speaker 1: You know, there has to has to be a fit.
46:32
Speaker 1: I've you know, on my career, like you, you get
46:35
Speaker 1: the phone calls, you get the emails of the text
46:37
Speaker 1: from our friend. Well you listen that we listen to this,
46:40
Speaker 1: you know, you know everything from my my, my daughter,
46:44
Speaker 1: my daughter. You know, I think my daughter can seeing
46:46
Speaker 1: Will you take a listen on up to on up
46:48
Speaker 1: to you know, the guy at the checkout count of
46:51
Speaker 1: the grocery store, you know you hanimy is demo tape.
46:53
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty good. So you get the whole gamut.
46:57
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, if you're not
46:58
Speaker 1: emotionally connected to it and you don't have a vision
47:00
Speaker 1: for it, um, it's not worth doing because it really
47:04
Speaker 1: does take over, you know, actect of your life. So
47:06
Speaker 1: it's gonna do that. You gotta be happy. And that's
47:08
Speaker 1: why I always tell people they don't really because I
47:11
Speaker 1: ran a common clubs. I ran into a lot of
47:13
Speaker 1: manager of singing groups, manager of this, and and they
47:16
Speaker 1: really and everybody wants to be a manager because it's
47:19
Speaker 1: so fly, it's so cool to say the word manager.
47:22
Speaker 1: But the commitment to time. And I tell people that because,
47:24
Speaker 1: like I said, basically, Steve harv and I was kind
47:27
Speaker 1: of like having dual careers. He was, he was very
47:29
Speaker 1: I was still had my foot doing Rashan McDonald's brand,
47:33
Speaker 1: doing other TV show development TV shows. And the last
47:36
Speaker 1: TV show I did as ru Sean McDonald was I
47:39
Speaker 1: did the MTV show called The Shop. It's very similar
47:42
Speaker 1: to what uh what the lebron is doing right now HBO.
47:45
Speaker 1: In fact, it's the same show. It's the same show
47:47
Speaker 1: and so and I was doing it, and I was
47:49
Speaker 1: shooting it in Brooklyn and so and that, and so
47:52
Speaker 1: when I made the commitment right there, said you know something,
47:54
Speaker 1: We're not gonna win if my mind remains split. I
47:58
Speaker 1: have to I have to commit to the whole process.
48:02
Speaker 1: And when I committed the whole process, then guess what.
48:05
Speaker 1: Everything moved forward fast, everything my my whole want her
48:09
Speaker 1: to present. Commitment allowed me to just think, sleep, eating, drink.
48:13
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, I could tell you his blood pressure, I
48:16
Speaker 1: can tell you what he didn't like. I can tell
48:17
Speaker 1: his suit I can tell his shoes. I can tell
48:19
Speaker 1: you what time he got up. I can tell you
48:20
Speaker 1: what time he went to bed. As a manager, you
48:23
Speaker 1: have to know all these things. You have to know, uh,
48:26
Speaker 1: catering needs. You have to know that the seat they
48:28
Speaker 1: like on the airplane. You have to know what side
48:30
Speaker 1: of the car they like to sit there, what type
48:32
Speaker 1: of cars they don't like? A dude like, all that
48:35
Speaker 1: comes into if you manage, if you're trying to take
48:37
Speaker 1: somebody from one level to the next level, these things
48:40
Speaker 1: you need to know, and you have to know, and
48:42
Speaker 1: you have to take them very seriously or you will
48:44
Speaker 1: not be managing that person very long. Yeah. I always
48:48
Speaker 1: to say, you know, you know, if you get the
48:50
Speaker 1: question what is the manager, I always talk about we
48:52
Speaker 1: were I consider myself more a strategist, right and that
48:56
Speaker 1: we are positioning, positioning the client for success. In order
48:59
Speaker 1: to position them for success, there has to be a roadmap,
49:01
Speaker 1: there has to be a strategy, and it has to
49:03
Speaker 1: be a long term vision, not a short term vision. Right. Um.
49:07
Speaker 1: You know. In addition to that, you know, part of
49:10
Speaker 1: that position, like you just mentioned, is how can I
49:12
Speaker 1: make this person feel the most comfortable, the most directed
49:16
Speaker 1: for success as possible and sometimes that is, you know,
49:20
Speaker 1: to be very honest with you, what's what's in that
49:23
Speaker 1: dressing room? Writer? To make them feel very comfortable going
49:26
Speaker 1: to show time, right, you know, um, you know it's
49:30
Speaker 1: and and then and the bigger, bigger pictures. Sometimes it's
49:32
Speaker 1: it's having a real conversation with them. Where is your
49:35
Speaker 1: goal line? What? How do you define success? Success is
49:38
Speaker 1: defined by the eye to beholder. So tell me what
49:41
Speaker 1: success is to you so I can help you achieve
49:44
Speaker 1: it versus just assuming that we're just gonna, you know,
49:48
Speaker 1: go for the moon. We're not sure right what where
49:50
Speaker 1: the moon's at, or or or or or what size
49:53
Speaker 1: it is. Always talk about, you know, setting sales towards
49:56
Speaker 1: a continent. You don't you don't have to tell me
49:58

50:59
Speaker 1: an interesting career, you know and entertainment and it's been
51:01
Speaker 1: pretty dynamic. In college, you know, I was the guy
51:04
Speaker 1: that booked a lot of concerts to come through. I
51:06
Speaker 1: went to Draink University, small school in Iowa. You know, um,
51:10
Speaker 1: you know, my story didn't didn't quite scream entertainment, you know,
51:15
Speaker 1: in the beginning, you know, I went to school with
51:17
Speaker 1: the small school sort of bookie shows. Got pretty good
51:20
Speaker 1: at it, you know. At that time I worked with
51:22
Speaker 1: everyone from Dave Matthews to one twelve right. So you know,
51:26
Speaker 1: I was back in the in the night, late nineties,
51:28
Speaker 1: and when I graduated, I thought I was I thought
51:31
Speaker 1: it was hot stuff, and I thought that, um, I
51:33
Speaker 1: could easily get a job in New York, right because
51:36
Speaker 1: you know, nobody, nobody was doing it like I was, right,
51:39
Speaker 1: And I went to I went to New York. I
51:40
Speaker 1: slept with my parents friends couch, and I hit the
51:43
Speaker 1: payment for a couple of weeks and then I found
51:45
Speaker 1: myself right back uh in St. Louis, which is where
51:48
Speaker 1: I grew up on my parents couch at that time,
51:52
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and
51:55
Speaker 1: I got it. But luckily I had interned, and this
51:57
Speaker 1: is what I always, you know, tell people is important
52:00
Speaker 1: to have internships. And I had interned for Live Nation
52:04
Speaker 1: and they had directed me towards an opening in radio.
52:08
Speaker 1: And I never thought that radio would get me to
52:09
Speaker 1: where I wanted to be, because I really wanted to
52:11
Speaker 1: be next to the artist. And I, out of lack
52:15
Speaker 1: of options, got a job in radio, low person on
52:18
Speaker 1: the total poll stuffing prize boxes, you know, driving the
52:21
Speaker 1: radio station van. And I did that for about a
52:24
Speaker 1: year and a half and they had the opportunity to
52:26
Speaker 1: go to New York and work for CBS Radio corporately
52:29
Speaker 1: in the in the music Partnerships division. And that's what
52:31
Speaker 1: really really my career took off right because I started
52:35
Speaker 1: meeting a lot of high UH influential people. UM. I
52:39
Speaker 1: started meeting making a lot of contact in the music industry,
52:42
Speaker 1: especially on the on the record label side, UM which
52:45
Speaker 1: labels were pretty much in that driver receipt at that point,
52:48
