• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I have to say, honestly, watching you, um you have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You've been such an inspiration. I would tell Terry all
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the time when we would come back from the Neighborhood Awards.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man that Shawan like he just makes things happen.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And I remember having a specific conversation with you because
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'm an artist, I'm a storyteller to my heart, um,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and I have over the years learned to become a businesswoman,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but watching you and having that conversation with you one
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: day in the middle of something. I don't know what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we were talking about, but you stopped me here like
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: does this have anything to do with money? And I'm like,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: uh No, I don't think so, Rashawn, and you were like, look,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: let me tell you when all conversations happened. They need
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to be doing something with money. They need to be
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going towards the money. They need be going towards the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: finish line. And I at first was like, man, that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: not like okay, so you can't have regular conversations. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I understood exactly what you were saying, and I took
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that to heart. So I thank you for being candid
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and being very honest with me because we took that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I took that back to Terry and I remember telling
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: her and I'm like, and that's how we're gonna do
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: our conversations for Shawn said, conversations need to be going
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: towards the finished a lot of money. They need to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be heading towards the finished lot of business. That's how
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: we need to handle our business. So I just had
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to say that before I talked about being a storyteller,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just thank you for always being honest and about that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many guests a couple of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the show said that and said that about me. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: don't think that's good, but it changes people's perspective, especially
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: sometimes in the African American community, we don't have those conversations.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So to have that conversation and for you to say that, UM,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it does me a lot. And so it touches people,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and it makes people change the way that they think,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: which ultimately helps their business. So you know, that's just
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: kudos to you for that. But yes, Terry drives me
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: along in this business. I was very consent being a nice,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: little quiet novel writer in a cabin somewhere. UM, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have I wouldn't have it any other way. But
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I am a natural storyteller, and I just loved the right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I loved right. I'm very blessed and thankful that, UM,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I have an amazing community where the words can actually
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: get out of my head and actually move forward and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: turned into something aside from words. UM. But it's just
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I was put here to write. I was. I know
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that I know the conversations I have with God, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: know that that's what I was put here to do.
• 6:54

• 6:57
  Speaker 1: stories that people can be inspired. Heard from watching cool
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: let me let me she's amazing. She's amazing. I get
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that all the time about myself and money, and I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: tried to I don't tell people this. You know, when
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: people call me, they cannot ask me what I'm doing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. Don't do you can't. You

• 7:27
  Speaker 1: day description of what I'm doing. So what what's what's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: up with the conversation? And so because you you have value,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and so once you realize you have value, then your
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: your your conversation shifts to what the conversation should be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: about money. If it's about money, and guess what, we're

• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that's not being arrogant, because that's why you're calling me,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and that's why that's why things are being posted about me.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's a plan of action that I've created so people
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: can understand why your only why am I interviewing YouTube

  Speaker 1: on the phone to day because you created a money
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: making conversation about your brand and that's important for people
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to understanding. Let's let's talk about this brand right quickly.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Terry made her directing debut. She directed the episode of
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Bounce TVs Man and Wife starring David and Tamila Main
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: which there were two of my funniest people in the world.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Uh BT on tw seventeen, is currently streaming all platforms.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: She she's She's directed uh romantic comedies, She's directed female
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: buddy comedies. You know all this is female driven? Is
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that a drawing a genre that you want to control
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to this brand that we create over here can be
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a pro because Girls Trips when that movie came out,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: went straight through the over a hundred million dollars made
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: uh Tiffany hattish uh a major star in the in
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the film industry. Is that is that's it's that's true,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It's that's the niche direction for your production company. Terry. Absolutely, UM.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You know, we we write and want to tell stories
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: about what we know about UM and we know all
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: about being women. We know all about coming of age,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: we know all about heartbreak, we know all about trying
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to be businesswomen, we know all all the plethora of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: stories that that try through the life of a woman
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and all the different things that we have to deal
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: with being mother's wife, just the gammuck. There's never thinking
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: stories in the life of a woman, and so we
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: want to tap into that and there's a market that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: wants to be fed. We want to women of color
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: want to see stories that resemble them, stories that they
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: can relate to. Stories that's being told by people that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: look like them and not being told from the perspective
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of somebody that really has no clue. That's just you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: going by what they see on TV, or creating images
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that they want us to take in that are not
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: necessarily representative of who we are. Are. Um So that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: is the goal for our company is we want to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: keep feeding that audience because they're there, because it's who
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: we are, and we feel like we have a responsibility
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to do so because if we don't, you know who,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna do it. No one's gonna do it,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: or they are told by men and not to say
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: men can't tell a story. However, authenticity is very important
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and I think the best stories, the things we watched
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: that we love, they come from authentic place. And Terry
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: has often said, you know, the impact that she had
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: being Levita um Alixate on Steve Harvey made such an
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: impact with so many young women because these young women
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and young girls, they need to see, they need to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: have something to aspire to that is outside the reality realm.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately we do see a lot of brown women
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in reality TV, but there are other options out there.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And as our that's our goal as me in the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Holiday It's like, we want to tell stories that young
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: people can look up to and be like, wow, this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is real. These are women. That's my mom, that's my aunt,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that's my sister, um and and right now there's a big,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: big hole for that market. Absolutely. Before we go to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the break, Uh, Terry, please tell us what Nina Holiday
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Entertainment that name? Where did it come from? So when
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Cat and I first got together, um, we were you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: very artistic women and I'm a huge man of Billy
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Holiday and she's a huge fan of Nina Simone. So
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: we decided to name our company after those two trail
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: blazing women because we felt like we were about to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: blaze some trails in Hollywood and be misunderstood like they were. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I can't understand that. You know, you know what, y'all
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: believe me when I see Because I wanted to ask
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the question about directing because you know, it's it's it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It's a thing that can be accomplished. It's something I've
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: never really done, is direct I've super fies ep chose
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: understand the principles of directive. But when we come back,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: because this course is coming straight to you, Terry, what
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: is a director and how does one grow grow the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: skills to be a great director? Just Rachhard McDonald. You're
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: listening to money making conversations, and of course I'm the host.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: That's why you're listening to me now. Before we went
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on a break, I was directing the question straight to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Terry j Vonn and it was regard to directing. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: because that's because of the fact that it's like in
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: anything over the years, if you look at athletics, you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the black quarterbacks wouldn't consider it a position that would
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be available to athletes of color. Middle linebacker wasn't a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: position of color a center, wasn't the position of color?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Certain people say that then BO involved a certain intellect,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a certain skills, set, a certain a certain a certain mentality,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: authenticity to the craft. And when I so when I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: see individuals like you're starting to master it and starting
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to expand beyond that, I really wanted to take a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: moment it just get into your head. Terry from a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: director and standpoint, what does it take to be a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: really good director? UM? So for me, it's first of all,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: respecting the craft, like you said, UM, respecting the craft
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of actors as well as the craft of UM storytelling.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And I think that because I come from the world
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of acting and I've always been very adamant about about
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: taking that craft seriously as much fun as it can be,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and these really fun characters that I've gotten to play,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: it is a craft and it's something that I've taken
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: seriously the moment I decided I wanted to be an actor.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And I think because I'm sensitive to what it takes
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: for an actor to deliver UM. Just the things that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: we put our minds and our bodies and our hearts
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: through to create characters that are realistic for you, that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: sound that are grounded and can take you on an
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: emotional roller coaster. I know what it takes for an
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: actors to do that, and I think that's what makes
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: me a really great director. It's because I respect that
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in the actor and I want to talk them through
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it and I'm fighting for them to deliver something that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is authentic that I know when they see it, they'll
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: be proud of it, and I know when the audience
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: is that they'll be affected by it. UM. And there's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you know, there's different kinds of directors. I definitely say
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that I am an actor's director because of that, because
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I give so much respect to the actor, and there
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: are some directors that are more interested in how their
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: camera moves and and you know, the different looking shots. UM.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: For me, I'm I'm completely an actor's director, and I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: see the vision when I'm reading the script or reading
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the scene, I do visualize and I leave it up
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to my DP to create what that vision is that
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I see. UM, So I can focus on my work
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: with the actor. And you know, if I see something
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that I don't like, I'm um strongly opinionated about. Now,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I don't like the way that shot looks. You need
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to fix that angle. Whereas when I first started, I wasn't.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I was very timid about saying that shot seems weird
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: because I couldn't really verbalize why it felt weird to me. Um.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: But like you said, because I've been, you know, able
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to I'm I think I'm on like movie number six
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: now or seven. Um, so I'm able to hone the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: craft more and get better and get more confident. Um.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But the one thing that that I love that you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: working with actors like uh, Sherry Sheperd and Wendy Rochel
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Robinson and Janny Hubert and John Amos, people that I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: admire and love look up to. For them to say
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: they love working with me, that I'm one of their
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: favorite directors, that is what matters to me. I mean,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you you you do through our working actors and actress
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is what they do. You know, they
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: go out there, they resonated. If they're not working, something's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: wrong because they go in there. You know, they just
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: they just picked you know, I want to have on
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: my show. I wanted this, you know. So that's really
• 16:23

  Speaker 1: vision that we both want to see and sometimes are
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: our path of getting there. Might you might want to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: go this way to get there. I might want to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: go this way to get there. And so we just
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: talked about it and come to an agreement on how
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: we're going to get there. But the big thing is
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that we have the same vision of where we're going. Cash,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: let me hear your first Terry just tells me what
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: were you're heading? You know, I'm so easy going. You

  Speaker 1: to get really really work. Um, we do have the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: same vision. Terry is definitely more practical and definitely more airing.
