5:04
Speaker 1: In my case, racial branding. Oh sean, racial branding. All
5:10
Speaker 1: we got to we're about to march. We're about to
5:12
Speaker 1: get a controversial. No, no, no no, you said, what
5:15
Speaker 1: does stereotypes have to do with money making conversations? Because
5:19
Speaker 1: what people think you can what people think about you
5:23
Speaker 1: and cause your money could slow your career and most
5:26
Speaker 1: importantly calls you to believe that this is the best
5:30
Speaker 1: that you can be. That's what stereotyping can do. And
5:34
Speaker 1: if you fall into the box a stereotyping, then guess
5:38
Speaker 1: what you might not climb out. In fact, you might
5:40
Speaker 1: not know how to climb out. See I've climbed out
5:42
Speaker 1: the box. And every time I feel like that lead
5:46
Speaker 1: it's coming is trying to slip back over my box,
5:48
Speaker 1: I knock it off because I'm having none of it.
5:51
Speaker 1: I'm not having my color, I'm not having my gender,
5:55
Speaker 1: I'm not having my age stopped me from being successful.
5:58
Speaker 1: My name is Rashan mcdah. That's what you should be
6:01
Speaker 1: working on, the importance of your name, developing the brand
6:05
Speaker 1: of your name, because your name has no race, your
6:09
Speaker 1: name has no gender, your name has no age. But
6:13
Speaker 1: what's happening is you believe that because of who you are,
6:17
Speaker 1: well you, how you grew up, what they told you
6:20
Speaker 1: you could be, is what you should be. That's what
6:22
Speaker 1: stereo typing this about. I'm gonna tell you about meside myself.
6:25
Speaker 1: Let's let's get personal about this. Let's lord died a
6:28
Speaker 1: little bit. Can you can you hear me talking? Can
6:31
Speaker 1: you hear me? Look me, look me in the camera?
6:33
Speaker 1: Can you hear on the radio? Leave the comments? When
6:35
Speaker 1: I started talking about this, I'm a victim of racial branding.
6:39
Speaker 1: Understand that when I say that means that somebody told
6:43
Speaker 1: me this is who I was. I didn't get a
6:45
Speaker 1: chance to vote on it. I didn't get a chance
6:48
Speaker 1: to even comment on it. I was born a Negro,
6:52
Speaker 1: I was raised a black man, and I became an
6:55
Speaker 1: African American. I've changed my racial identity so many times
7:00
Speaker 1: apps that the N double a CP can't keep up
7:02
Speaker 1: with it. They still colored people. That's what you talk
7:06
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. When people can sit around
7:09
Speaker 1: in the room and tell you this is who you are.
7:11
Speaker 1: Nobody gave me the option to raise my hand. It's
7:15
Speaker 1: the head. I want to be white. I want to
7:18
Speaker 1: be white because can I be white? Can I just
7:21
Speaker 1: be white? Because if I know if I'm white right now,
7:23
Speaker 1: I can image my my average annual salary go up
7:27
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. But nobody gives me the option because
7:30
Speaker 1: they're stereotyped that I can't be white. So what does
7:33
Speaker 1: that mean that if I can't be white? But you
7:37
Speaker 1: can think why you can live a white lifestyle. You
7:41
Speaker 1: can do things that economically tell you this is the
7:44
Speaker 1: positive direction you're supposed to take your life. Are you're
7:46
Speaker 1: saying you said white it's right. No, I'm saying you
7:49
Speaker 1: are right. Your name is right, your brand is right,
7:52
Speaker 1: who you want to be is right. But because we're
7:54
Speaker 1: stereotype and we put people in genders, we put people
7:57
Speaker 1: in in racial stereotypes of people in certain ages. You're
8:01
Speaker 1: pointing a room or corner over you can look at people. Oh,
8:03
Speaker 1: don't go over there, that's them young people. Look at
8:06
Speaker 1: their pants, look at the way they dressed. There's a
8:09
Speaker 1: type of music they're listening to. Those are stereotypes. So
8:12
Speaker 1: it's up to you to be able to break those stereotypes.
8:16
Speaker 1: How do you break those stereotypes? While you up there
8:18
Speaker 1: looking at the sun, need to be listening to Roshan McDonald.
8:23
Speaker 1: Roshan McDonald. It's created money making conversations to stop you
8:26
Speaker 1: from living in that box, that stereotype box that you
8:30
Speaker 1: allow to lead clothes. I'm gonna tell you something. Six usters,
8:39
Speaker 1: two brothers. That's right. Father truck driver may may have
8:45
Speaker 1: gotten out of elementary school. I don't know. Mom graduate
8:49
Speaker 1: from high school. That's it. Lived in fifth Ward, fear War.
8:55
Speaker 1: If you live in the Houston area, you're very familiar
8:57
Speaker 1: with fear War Fiar War. Does any low in economic
9:01
Speaker 1: lee poverished black community. There's in every major city in America,
9:07
Speaker 1: or they tell you if you go in there, don't
9:09
Speaker 1: go in there too late at night. If you park
9:12
Speaker 1: your car on the street, make sure you don't keep
9:15
Speaker 1: it there overnight. It's that type of neighborhood. I can
9:18
Speaker 1: say that now because when I drive in the neighborhood
9:20
Speaker 1: now there have been some changes. But the house that
9:22
Speaker 1: I grew up now has a giant fence around it,
9:25
Speaker 1: so I know they changed that much. They got a
9:29
Speaker 1: giant fence around it. You can't even get to the
9:30
Speaker 1: door in the more. When I grew up, at least
9:32
Speaker 1: you could walk through the door knock on it. You
9:34
Speaker 1: can't even knock on the door anymore. I got a
9:36
Speaker 1: giant chain link fence around big pit bullwh That's so
9:42
Speaker 1: I know it hadn't changed. So what has was sewing?
9:45
Speaker 1: That Donald got? Not that box? Ah? Is he gotten
9:48
Speaker 1: not that box? Because guess what? Rashaan didn't want to
9:51
Speaker 1: be in the box. Oh, that's so easy to say.
9:55
Speaker 1: That's so easy to tell you. That's so easy. Called
9:58
Speaker 1: me now, I your person a three two two three
10:03
Speaker 1: zero five five not too If you don't believe, I'll
10:05
Speaker 1: talk to your person. But see, but see, everybody wants
10:09
Speaker 1: to make up a statement. Everybody wants to talk about
10:11
Speaker 1: being successful, but nobody wants to put forth, effort and
10:14
Speaker 1: put place a plan. So how do you overcome any
10:17
Speaker 1: type of stereo type? What is? You do it by
10:22
Speaker 1: setting goals you can reach. That's the number one thing
10:26
Speaker 1: I hear people coming there. I want to be a millionaire.
10:28
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I want to be successful.
10:32
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means because that's not really
10:34
Speaker 1: a goal. That's a statement. That's a statement, and that's
10:38
Speaker 1: what people start falling off the ship of success because
10:42
Speaker 1: they'd be making statements they don't even make sense to
10:45
Speaker 1: to the average person. So when you make a statement
10:47
Speaker 1: without a goal, guess what, people just ignore you. I'm
10:50
Speaker 1: gonna tell you a little story about myself when I
10:54
Speaker 1: was working for this company, not gonna call a name.
10:57
Speaker 1: When I came on board, I was one of the
10:59
Speaker 1: top employer yeast. I was on the top employees. Came
11:04
Speaker 1: on board with a couple of more people who who
11:06
Speaker 1: are white, and came in and said, now, with my supervisor,
11:11
Speaker 1: he said, what do you want to do with the company?
11:13
Speaker 1: Was sean? I said, I don't know, let me think
11:15
Speaker 1: about it. He said, fine, but please come back and
11:20
Speaker 1: tell me what you want to do, because we need
11:21
Speaker 1: to set your goals in place, so we can, you know,
11:24
Speaker 1: pre create structure so you can meet the goals that
11:26
Speaker 1: you have for the company, because the company has goals
11:28
Speaker 1: for you, but we can only move you along based
11:31
Speaker 1: on the pacing that you feel comfortable with. That's a
11:34
Speaker 1: great That sounded really good. So six months later I
11:38
Speaker 1: still hadn't went back and talked to him, kind of
11:41
Speaker 1: actually forgot the conversation I had with him. But the
11:44
Speaker 1: two of the white guys, they were moving up the
11:47
Speaker 1: food chain, they were moving past me. So my first
11:51
Speaker 1: thought was, it's a racial discrimination going on here. So
11:59
Speaker 1: I got to talk to my little buddies. I said,
12:01
Speaker 1: I'm going there and tell him piece of my mind. Hi,
12:04
Speaker 1: They're gonna move in front of me. And I know
12:06
Speaker 1: I'm working just as hard or and I know I
12:09
Speaker 1: come to work on time, and I know I'm just
12:11
Speaker 1: as smart. I came from a prestigious university. My degree
12:16
Speaker 1: was in mathematics. I the honors opportunities while I was
12:22
Speaker 1: in college that I made the Dean's list. But what
12:26
Speaker 1: I didn't do was this. So I'll marched back in
12:29
Speaker 1: that office and sat down my supervisor and I kind
12:32
Speaker 1: of told him my mind. I said I appreciate the
12:36
Speaker 1: other two guys moving so fast, and I'm still sitting
12:39
Speaker 1: in my desk, he said, were sean? He pulled the
12:43
Speaker 1: fire out, he said, when we said down, I asked
12:46
Speaker 1: you what you wanted to do, and you told me
12:49
Speaker 1: you're gonna get back with me later. Well, guess what.
12:52
Speaker 1: It's not my job to hunt you down and build
12:55
Speaker 1: your dreams. It's not my job to tell you how
12:59
Speaker 1: sex else where you can be because I don't know
13:01
Speaker 1: how much work you're willing to put out. It's not
13:04
Speaker 1: my job, yeah, to criticize you for not wanting to
13:09
Speaker 1: be successful. So my next question to him was, so
13:15
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do? Tell me what you
13:18
Speaker 1: want to do? So I left the room different attitude
13:24
Speaker 1: now because guess what, he put it back on me.
13:26
Speaker 1: Where it's always gonna be on you. There's the problem
13:29
Speaker 1: is that people don't understand that to be successful, it's
13:33
Speaker 1: always on you. It's never on other people. If you
13:36
Speaker 1: don't have a goal, if you don't set a goal
13:38
Speaker 1: you can reach, if you don't if you don't have
13:40
Speaker 1: standards that you can keep elevating, never allowing the stereotype
13:44
Speaker 1: to define who you are or what you can become
13:47
Speaker 1: at that moment. That's just a small slice of my
13:49
Speaker 1: life I'm telling you all about, but it was a
13:52
Speaker 1: defining moment because I repeat that story to anybody who
13:56
Speaker 1: tells me, oh man, I can't be successful. Oh man,
14:01
Speaker 1: ra Sean, you know you you've always had it going
14:03
Speaker 1: on or with Sean, you know you're just a natural
14:06
Speaker 1: at this Rachean, you're just a special talent. I'm all
14:10
Speaker 1: those things. But I also know if you don't put
14:14
Speaker 1: action in motion, then there's no results. If you don't
14:18
Speaker 1: lock down an opportunity to be successful and talk to
14:21
Speaker 1: people who can make you successful, then guess what you'd
14:23
Speaker 1: be frustrating If you're picking up trash on the garbage truck.
14:28
Speaker 1: Guess what, there's a driver. You don't have to pick
14:32
Speaker 1: up the trash. You can drive the truck if that's
14:34
Speaker 1: your goal. If you drive the truck, you can eventually
14:37
Speaker 1: be telling other people and signing them to the truck
14:39
Speaker 1: to go audience. If that's your goal, I know, because
14:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell I'll tell you about my stories. So
14:44
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about my adventures. What what I'm in. Second,
14:47
Speaker 1: we got a level? Good? Go out now? One more minute?
14:50
Speaker 1: I want to just say this to everybody while you're
14:52

Speaker 1: the facts of life will not change. When you look up,

Speaker 1: Keep looking forward. Don't look at your feet, don't look up,

Speaker 1: making conversations. I want to call my friends or in
17:11
Speaker 1: chessmaker checkmate. How you doing, Lauren? Yeah, I can hear
17:17
Speaker 1: your brother, hear me a favorite. Just tell everybody about
17:19
Speaker 1: you right quickly. Well, my name is organ Us and
17:22
Speaker 1: I thank God for you Russian Rashan, And I'm living
17:25
Speaker 1: my dream because teaching the kids make my heart sing.
17:27
Speaker 1: I used the game of chess to teach young people
17:29
Speaker 1: how to dream and how to think things through, how
17:32
Speaker 1: to have a plan and not to have a hitting agenda.
17:35
Speaker 1: And if your agenda is hitting, make sure it's about
17:37
Speaker 1: serving others. When you're have an agenda of serving people,
17:40
Speaker 1: you win. And that's what I teach. You win by giving,
17:43
Speaker 1: and you win by serving others. Now, now we've been
17:46
Speaker 1: knowing each other a long time, and just to explain
17:49
Speaker 1: to people why it's significant the game of how significant
17:52
Speaker 1: the game of chess plays in a business world from
17:55
Speaker 1: a strategic standpoint, and also how you use it to
17:58
Speaker 1: change their minds and build them by as young people.
18:02
Speaker 1: Chance is about having a game plan and recognizing patterns.
18:05
Speaker 1: Pattern recognition allow you to plan, prepare, position, and predict
18:09
Speaker 1: so you can prevent pretty poor performance. So you can
18:12
Speaker 1: have a power, prestige and perspective on what's going on.
18:16
Speaker 1: Allows you to be a profit because you see what's
18:18
Speaker 1: coming next. So chess is about looking at patterns, studying
18:22
Speaker 1: the patterns, and you're able to position yourself to win
18:25
Speaker 1: because you know what's coming next. But the key to
18:28
Speaker 1: winning in chess is getting your head in the game now.
18:32
Speaker 1: So so that basically chess is kind of like a
18:36
Speaker 1: business model. Then exactly, it's a model. It's a model
18:40
Speaker 1: for success because you know what's coming next. You know
18:44
Speaker 1: that you've got to plan, you know that you've got
18:46
Speaker 1: to provide value, and you have to make moves that
18:48
Speaker 1: have a hidden agenda because if you don't, the competition
18:52
Speaker 1: will block you. And that's why I want people to understand,
18:54
Speaker 1: because see, there are so many ways. The reason I've
18:57
Speaker 1: created money making conversations create options for people. Or that's
19:01
Speaker 1: the key to this show, and that's why you're on
19:03
Speaker 1: the show. Because so many people think that they see
19:06
Speaker 1: somebody being successful one way and they think that's the
19:08
Speaker 1: platform they can follow. I'm just trying to bring common
19:11
Speaker 1: sense to the to every game, you know, whether you're
19:14
Speaker 1: playing checkers, where you're playing chess, or you're playing the
19:16
Speaker 1: game of backta, it's all a competition and every everything,
19:20
Speaker 1: everything has a mental part of it that you have
19:22
Speaker 1: to be able to win at. And that's what chess
19:24
Speaker 1: is all about, the mental parts. Not being physically stronger
19:27
Speaker 1: singing or tap dancing or being able to pick up
19:30
Speaker 1: a one thousand pounds, it's the mental part that you're
19:34
Speaker 1: trying to educate people on. Correct It's nine mental. And
19:39
Speaker 1: I like what you said about options, because checkmate means
19:42
Speaker 1: you out of options. If you long as you have options,
19:45
Speaker 1: you in the game. When you have no more options left,
19:49
Speaker 1: that's game over, that's checkmate. So you gotta say you
19:52
Speaker 1: gotta learn your options. That's why education is so important.
19:55
Speaker 1: That's why I like your show. Your show is bringing
19:57
Speaker 1: so much value to people and knowledge that gives people
20:00
Speaker 1: options on how to make money and how to dream
20:03
Speaker 1: and how to how to be a champion and never
20:05
Speaker 1: give up stay in the game. And I'm just I
20:08
Speaker 1: want to point him out about Mr Hutson, is that
20:11
Speaker 1: his personalities here. A lot of people, a lot of
20:13
Speaker 1: people have talent, a lot of people have the ability
20:16
Speaker 1: to be successful, but they fall short on personality. I've
20:20
Speaker 1: never wants, and I've seen him in some frustrating situations,
20:23
Speaker 1: not wants that he ever have a negative spirit. Please
20:26
Speaker 1: explain to people had important it is to have a
20:28
Speaker 1: consistent personality that people can count on and trust in
20:32
Speaker 1: a crisis situation. Yeah, you gotta be cool on the fire.
20:36
Speaker 1: You can't panic. You gotta be cause here's why everything
20:39
Speaker 1: works together. Every every disappointment of the blessing life of
20:43
Speaker 1: a conspiracy to healthy win. If you stay cool, if
20:46
Speaker 1: you stay calm, and if you stay collective. Because a
20:49
Speaker 1: lot of people will panting. They will say, well, the
20:51
Speaker 1: red seat have a blocked Pharaoh is coming. Less blame Moses,
20:56
Speaker 1: less kill Moses. No, you gotta keep cool. You gotta
20:59
Speaker 1: get be collected. We are killing Moses. So a lot
21:03
Speaker 1: of people will get frustrated. So I stay cool on
21:05
Speaker 1: the pressure because I know everything is working in my
21:08
Speaker 1: favorite Mr Hutches, I'm gonna talk to you again at
21:11
Speaker 1: now I gotta get to my other man. You know
21:13

Speaker 1: years and many journeys. And when I look at you,
21:52
Speaker 1: tell me about because you know, you know we started. Man,
21:55
Speaker 1: you know it's just it's just a website. You know,
21:57
Speaker 1: now you've got social media? How has that change? Is
22:00
Speaker 1: the game for you? The social media? Well, for me,
22:03
Speaker 1: I was, to be honest with you, I was a
22:05
Speaker 1: little late to the party. What is us? Now? Has
22:08
Speaker 1: allowed me to talk to my to my audience and
22:12
Speaker 1: you know where I came back from the time me
22:14
Speaker 1: and you together. When the social media first came, the
22:16
Speaker 1: young comedians was on it, I was like, man, I'm
22:19
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and tell my jokes out for freaks. Man,
22:23
Speaker 1: I get Hay for him, and I known that that's
22:26
Speaker 1: what I should have did, was going and get to
22:28
Speaker 1: him for free, and we made it for him, set
22:29
Speaker 1: up for the better audience. Man, I'd have been a
22:32
Speaker 1: lot farther than I am today. Boy, So you know,
22:35
Speaker 1: I'm still getting around to it, but it's important. And
22:38
Speaker 1: they judged everything here out here in l A. Now
22:41
Speaker 1: on your life, your followers, and what I tell them is, man,
22:45
Speaker 1: when I tell them from only for my professionals, us
22:48
Speaker 1: being comedians, don't tell me how many followers you got.
22:51
Speaker 1: Tell me how many comedians can you follow? That's what
22:55
Speaker 1: we able to step. You step on that stage and
22:57
Speaker 1: go behind six or seven bad to me that audience, right,
23:02
Speaker 1: I don't hear how many followers you got. That's the
23:04
Speaker 1: follower I want to know. You know, it's it's it's
23:06
Speaker 1: it's interesting because you know when you say that, because
23:09
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, that's when I remember, you know,
23:12
Speaker 1: Steve and I sat down and we had this big
23:14
Speaker 1: old mailing list. We had a million people are mailing list.
23:18
Speaker 1: I was trying to ignore social media. In fact, I
23:20
Speaker 1: was ignoring social media because I felt there was a
23:22
Speaker 1: lot of work. Even though I saw Twitter on all
23:25
Speaker 1: the news anchors, I saw Twitter fees and facebooks on
23:28
Speaker 1: all the corporate pages, and everything. I was trying to
23:31
Speaker 1: ignore it. So but what I really discovered is that,
23:34
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, in Hollywood, in the media, with advertisers,
23:40
Speaker 1: another likes, they deemed you just being topical. They deemed
23:43
Speaker 1: you as being a person an influencer. And you said,
23:47
Speaker 1: you come late to the game. But guess what, the
23:49
Speaker 1: game ain't late for you because you understand the important
23:52
Speaker 1: Because the first thing out your mouth was talking about
23:54
Speaker 1: social media. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's it's it's amazing,
24:00
Speaker 1: and that you can just go out here and touch
24:02
Speaker 1: and talk to everybody and they can touch it and
24:05
Speaker 1: you can put your point of view in which we
24:07
Speaker 1: have a unique one. I said, we're the third eye,
24:11
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We made we made what's prelece.
24:16
Speaker 1: So now you could talk to him and were revenent,
24:19
Speaker 1: you know, and with anything you got, good or bad.
24:21
Speaker 1: But it's it's working for me now. And that's why. Yeah,
24:24
Speaker 1: because I got some more on the show today too,
24:26
Speaker 1: And it's the same conversation I'm gonna have with her
24:29
Speaker 1: about social media because we know it's a beast out there,
24:31
Speaker 1: like Kevin Hard is a beast and social media and
24:35
Speaker 1: then you have he's a beast. He's learned to go this.
24:38
Speaker 1: This is the business side of Kevin Hard, and this
24:40
Speaker 1: is the funniest side of Kevin Hard. Then you have
24:42
Speaker 1: people who we don't even know that out there there,
24:46
Speaker 1: young comedians. They got four or five million followers and
24:49
Speaker 1: I've never heard of my life, but they are relevant
24:53
Speaker 1: because they have that social media follower. That's the business side,
24:56
Speaker 1: and that's why I really started money making conversations and
24:59
Speaker 1: guess what, I launched it on my Facebook page with
25:02
Speaker 1: your social media, and that's important on the branding process.
25:05
Speaker 1: And that's really important because I remember you you called
25:08
Speaker 1: me Rashwan about somebody says something negative on your Facebook
25:11
Speaker 1: page and you would get wanted to get that straight.
25:13
Speaker 1: So it's an important part of your brand correct earthquake. Yes, well,
25:18
Speaker 1: it's very important because I mean, you're entitled to your opinion,
25:21
Speaker 1: but you're not entited to your own facts. Yes, sir, yes, sir.
25:25
Speaker 1: When you when you say something about me, you need
25:27
Speaker 1: to be fight sally, especially if you in this business

Speaker 1: I'm not as hard as I I should be, but
25:54
Speaker 1: I'm not kind of got it. This is what I
25:56
Speaker 1: think today, This is but part of me and try
25:59
Speaker 1: to spread my brain and even more. And as I try,
26:01
Speaker 1: what I'm about to do is get into more what

26:07
Speaker 1: gonna get into it even more. Need that support, okay,

Speaker 1: because that's important because I've seen you grow as a
26:13
Speaker 1: as in auditions, because I've been fortunate to be in
26:16
Speaker 1: the room. It was casting opportunities that you walked into.
26:19
Speaker 1: And every time I've seen you, you've gotten stronger and
26:21
Speaker 1: stronger as an actor. Or I would tell you something

Speaker 1: you can share this quick story the way I'm an
26:34
Speaker 1: earthquake is very true when you're talking about who can
26:37
Speaker 1: you follow on stage, because because that's how I met him.
26:41
Speaker 1: I had to follow earthquake and the club in Atlanta, Georgan.
26:48
Speaker 1: It was Earthquake and buy five comics. I would tell
26:51
Speaker 1: you something if if if you ever heard put the
26:55
Speaker 1: fire on stage, lit the stage on five, they don't
26:59
Speaker 1: lit the stage on five. They put it out and
27:02
Speaker 1: then they ReLit it and then they said you next.
27:08
Speaker 1: That's why I meant that's how I met earth quake,
27:10
Speaker 1: because see, because the right there, I realized that I
27:13
Speaker 1: wasn't ready for what they were offering. And they and
27:16
Speaker 1: the and the great thing the body was they were
27:18
Speaker 1: waiting to see me. It was so much respect that
27:21
Speaker 1: they had booked me at this club. They said, man
27:24
Speaker 1: with Sean coming, So it wasn't It wasn't like they
27:26
Speaker 1: did it out of disrespect. They were just showing me
27:29
Speaker 1: their best and they go, okay with Sean, let's see
27:32
Speaker 1: what you got. And brother, I'm gonna tell you something.
27:34
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty for me. Earth Craig was there here. No,
27:41
Speaker 1: it was not ready. I walked off that stage. Look
27:45
Speaker 1: at it. I walked out that stage. I went to
27:47
Speaker 1: me a radio shock. I got me a little recorder
27:51
Speaker 1: and I just started working my act in my dressing room.
27:53
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna get nothing to eat because That's what
27:55
Speaker 1: it's all about. Man. That stage that defines who you are. Man,
28:00
Speaker 1: Is that true? Yes? It is. And what we call
28:03
Speaker 1: it is the anchor. You know, it's the anchor. Especially
28:08
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with our people. They don't give you.
28:10
Speaker 1: But so many times, remember like you said, they get
28:12
Speaker 1: the rock two times, you know on that third rock
28:16
Speaker 1: that boo coming right behind. Absolutely absolutely in that chat
28:20
Speaker 1: and they look around and they're like, man, I'm getting
28:23
Speaker 1: tired of this now. Now you you get a strong,
28:26
Speaker 1: footholder radio. Do you want to get back a radio? Yeah?
28:30
Speaker 1: I want. I want to get back into radio. My
28:32
Speaker 1: goal live. I mean, if you are already I look
28:35
Speaker 1: at you and no comparison other than this is like
28:39
Speaker 1: the trump Father did put the pathway down there for
28:42
Speaker 1: us to go you and see has showed how it is.
28:46
Speaker 1: I can if anything is the same way, sit down here.
28:50
Speaker 1: You know. WBLS was great for me. It didn't give
28:53
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to be syndicated. I didn't go away
28:57
Speaker 1: in New York to be in one radio. I want
29:00
Speaker 1: it to do like y'all did. I wanted to be
29:01
Speaker 1: left the afternoon drive prepared, propelled myself with a TV
29:07
Speaker 1: show expand my brand and do different things. And I
29:11
Speaker 1: talked to my consumers in the morning, pulled them to
29:14
Speaker 1: come watch me in the east. But that's that's important
29:18
Speaker 1: to hear. But that's important because I want to I
29:20
Speaker 1: want to hear that because of the fact that you know,
29:22
Speaker 1: I'm always working, and you know, opportunities always coming my way,
29:26
Speaker 1: and I am an earthquake fan. And I thought, and
29:29
Speaker 1: I feel the things you did on radio were not
29:31
Speaker 1: only you know, you profound, I said, profound. You had
29:34
Speaker 1: something to say. See's a lot of people just funny,
29:37
Speaker 1: but you also articulate social issues, which I thought was
29:40
Speaker 1: really important because it comes out in your comedy anyway. Yes, yes,
29:46
Speaker 1: And my favorite joke right now, Trump be lying to
29:50
Speaker 1: us like we don't have Google. Hey, man, black people
29:58
Speaker 1: got Google now man. The thing a body is that
30:01
Speaker 1: when you go political, when you go social, when you
30:04
Speaker 1: go financial. The whole thing in this whole world earthquake
30:07
Speaker 1: is for me to let you know that, man, is
30:09
Speaker 1: that this is a relationship phone call, but it's also
30:12
Speaker 1: a call phone call to help other people understand how
30:15
Speaker 1: why you've been successful so long. The fire is not
30:19
Speaker 1: that's not went away. And then there are other options
30:22
Speaker 1: out there that are growing for you. That guess what
30:23
Speaker 1: you're about to hear about you on a riset on
30:25
Speaker 1: a bigger level, because you are constantly building your brand.
30:30
Speaker 1: I mean you listen successors determined the bond your potential.
30:36
Speaker 1: You know. I get so tired of people saying, man,
30:39
Speaker 1: I thought you would always be here or you'll be there,
30:43
Speaker 1: and say I'm glad, I'm glad you you expect that,
30:46
Speaker 1: but I'm still going. Every day is a journey. It
30:50
Speaker 1: ain't over until they put you down in the ground. Brother.
30:54
Speaker 1: You have to scribe every day in your and your
30:57
Speaker 1: work ethic is the only thing that separates you from
31:00
Speaker 1: other people that even have an inkling of your talent.
31:03
Speaker 1: You can have all the talent in the world, but
31:05
Speaker 1: if your talent ain't with your work ethic, it ain't
31:08
Speaker 1: going nowhere. And I just work, man, I work. I
31:11

33:16
Speaker 1: platform because I realized that we, as asked Americans couldn't
33:21
Speaker 1: get to a germatologist, and if we could, we didn't
33:25
Speaker 1: have the money to completely pay for it. So it
33:28
Speaker 1: was important for me to devise a multimedia platform as
33:32
Speaker 1: a hair and skin expert in the medical field, to
33:36
Speaker 1: be able to reach out two millions where they wouldn't
33:40
Speaker 1: be able to reach out to me. You know it
33:42
Speaker 1: takes someone actively rashwan as you know, to actually call
33:45
Speaker 1: up a dermatologist office or even a regular doctor for
33:48
Speaker 1: that matter. They have to be proactive to actually go
33:52
Speaker 1: to that office. Well, what happens to those people that
33:54
Speaker 1: aren't active? They're passive, but they're sitting their home, they're
33:57
Speaker 1: sitting at the beauty shops, they're sitting at the makeup counters,
34:00
Speaker 1: and they're frustrated over their hair and skin issues. And
34:03
Speaker 1: so I figured, well, I was always at outbox, outside
34:06
Speaker 1: the box thinker. Anyway, I really didn't even want to
34:09
Speaker 1: be a drama tolenges. I wanted to be a hairstylid,
34:12
Speaker 1: you know. But my mother said, quite frankly, no disrespect,
34:15
Speaker 1: but we get medical degrees and dental degrees in our family.
34:18
Speaker 1: So you just gonna be You're even gonna be a
34:21
Speaker 1: pediatrician like me, or you're gonna be a dentist like
34:24
Speaker 1: your dad. And I said, well, you know what, I'm
34:26
Speaker 1: gonna be a hair doctor. And I made that decision
34:28
Speaker 1: when I was fourteens. Yes, yes, and that you know
34:36
Speaker 1: because you have two brands, right, your bella neutral and
34:39
Speaker 1: you have bold neutral. Right, that's correct. Okay, explain to
34:43
Speaker 1: everybody what each one is and how they can access
34:45
Speaker 1: information on you. Yes, well, you know, traditionally in the
34:49
Speaker 1: in the in the beauty industry, people are usually used
34:53
Speaker 1: to topical products. Well, topical products really cannot penetrate the
34:57
Speaker 1: depth of the skin or the hair. So I knew
35:00
Speaker 1: that because those structures were internal rashawn, they needed to
35:03
Speaker 1: give something internal. But we had not quite hit that
35:07
Speaker 1: industry yet here in the US. Well, that's where I'm
35:10
Speaker 1: a pioneer of supplements, where I started working with European
35:14
Speaker 1: based chemists and researchers to figure out what nutrients could
35:19
Speaker 1: help us really improve our hair. And I scanned from
35:21
Speaker 1: the internal. So I actually started with the product call
35:24
Speaker 1: of Viviscal. It was totally over in Europe. I reached
35:27
Speaker 1: out to them and asked them what were their plans?
35:29
Speaker 1: They said, Hey, Dr macnill, we like what you're you're
35:31
Speaker 1: saying to us. Can you help us brand this in
35:34
Speaker 1: the US? I said absolutely, I said, especially in our
35:36
Speaker 1: African American community, and I made then reach millions and
35:40
Speaker 1: zillions you actually probably still see in commercials today. But
35:44
Speaker 1: I advanced that formula to make it even better for
35:47
Speaker 1: our Ascan American women and men. So Bela New Tree
35:50
Speaker 1: is my women's supplement supplement that I launched in two
35:53
Speaker 1: thousand and seven and then out launched the men's bone
35:56
Speaker 1: New Tree in two thousand and eight. So you know,
35:59
Speaker 1: I look at these, I call them no disrespect. A
36:02
Speaker 1: lot of impostors in today's time, a lot of these.
36:04
Speaker 1: You know, there's been such a broad trend of hair
36:08
Speaker 1: and skin supplements out there. But I tell folks, you
36:10
Speaker 1: gotta be careful because this is even though they may
36:13
Speaker 1: say natural, it's still something internal that a person is taking.
36:17
Speaker 1: So as a medical physician, is very important to me
36:20
Speaker 1: that when I'm producing products that they're gonna be safe
36:23
Speaker 1: yet effective for for folks that are using them. So
36:26
Speaker 1: it's it's really important. What you're saying is that, first
36:28
Speaker 1: of all, I met you in two thousand it was
36:30
Speaker 1: bella nice boat. What exactly because this is hair or
36:34
Speaker 1: this face? What? What what products are? Because I know you, Yes,
36:38
Speaker 1: it's working on both. I help folks. You know my
36:41
Speaker 1: um it's true beauty begins within is my slogan. I said.
36:46
Speaker 1: Outer beauty is a reflection of an interview. True beauty
36:49
Speaker 1: begins within. So what I mean by that is that
36:52
Speaker 1: because your hair and skin are internal structures. A matter
36:56
Speaker 1: of fact, your skin is the largest organ in your
36:58
Speaker 1: entire body. So that's what Bella nutris tackling from the
37:02
Speaker 1: inside on helping women to get those follicles back, revived,
37:05
Speaker 1: stimulated so that they can help with these thin areas evolving,
37:10
Speaker 1: various areas of alopecia hair that's just shedding or breaking off,
37:14
Speaker 1: and that you want to get smooth again. You want
37:17
Speaker 1: the pores to be smaller, you want to get rid
37:19
Speaker 1: of those fine lines and wrinkles. That is what Bella
37:22
Speaker 1: Nutria is doing from an internal aspect, and honestly, Rashawn,
37:26
Speaker 1: it took years for people to understand that I was
37:29
Speaker 1: out here fighting back in nine when I was around
37:32
Speaker 1: on every multimedia you can think of, trying to get
37:35
Speaker 1: folks to understand. You know it, because you were right
37:38
Speaker 1: telling me, Hey, listen, I like what you're doing, but
37:41
Speaker 1: she I need your marketing plan. And it goes back
37:44
Speaker 1: to what you were saying earlier. You asked my marketing plan.
37:47
Speaker 1: I got it to you. You said, listen, I got
37:50
Speaker 1: a plan for you be a WBLS. What was it
37:53
Speaker 1: June twenty three or something seven? I got there. Steve
37:58
Speaker 1: started reading my bio and I'm like, I for an
38:00
Speaker 1: air ofview though reading my biout, that sounds like some
38:04
Speaker 1: something funny is going on here. And he said, hey,
38:07
Speaker 1: I brought Dr Macklin here to answer your hair and
38:10
Speaker 1: skin questions. Rashan. The phone lines blew up and you
38:13
Speaker 1: may not ever know this, but when I finished, I
38:15
Speaker 1: think we were on air doing questions I made. It
38:18
Speaker 1: might have been a thirty to forty five minutes. It
38:20
Speaker 1: was a very long time, Steve. Steve said, listen, I'd
38:24
Speaker 1: like for you to be part of my team. You
38:26
Speaker 1: don't know this, Rashan, but I've gotten the I said,
38:28
Speaker 1: of course I will, Steve. I'm happy to do this
38:31
Speaker 1: because it was always my dream for for folks that
38:33
Speaker 1: eventually hear what I had to say, not just read.
38:36
Speaker 1: I was in tons of magazine and people can read.
38:38
Speaker 1: But I got in that cab to go back to
38:40
Speaker 1: the hotel and I cried like a baby because my
38:43
Speaker 1: dream of being able for folks to finally here millions
38:47
Speaker 1: to hear what I had to say, it finally came true.
38:50
Speaker 1: I thank you for that. I mean, you just don't
38:52
Speaker 1: even understand because we didn't even talk about that. But um,
38:57
Speaker 1: that's where you can definitely make dreams come true. And
39:01
Speaker 1: I'm so happy with this platform that you put out
39:03
Speaker 1: because so many people need it. People don't have guidance.
39:07
Speaker 1: You are basically being a mentor online for people. You've
39:12
Speaker 1: been a mentor to me personally, and I'm so blessed
39:15
Speaker 1: with that. But think about what you're doing two millions
39:18
Speaker 1: through the social media. I know I'm sold to social
39:20
Speaker 1: media too, but we have to we we obviously, you know,
39:23
Speaker 1: have to go with the times. But yes, you are
39:25
Speaker 1: a blessing and I just wanted to say that verbally.
39:29
Speaker 1: I tell you that we text that all the time,
39:31
Speaker 1: but other folks need to hear what I've experienced. And
39:35
Speaker 1: you given me that opportunity to get on radio on syndication.
39:39
Speaker 1: It opened up the doors. I went on to do
39:41
Speaker 1: multiple stations within radio. One. I ended up having my
39:45
Speaker 1: own Dr macmun show on call on w o L.
39:48
Speaker 1: I mean, I went on the TV. The Chris Rock
39:51
Speaker 1: heard me on your station. One day. He had to
39:54
Speaker 1: folks call me saying, look, we didn't interview seventy black dermatologists,
39:58

41:33
Speaker 1: I go outside. I don't know what to do. You
41:35
Speaker 1: know you ain't missing nothing because I've I've been old
41:38
Speaker 1: enough to experience a previous eclips where they told me
41:41
Speaker 1: to put a pinhole through a piece of paper and
41:43
Speaker 1: then I can look at the sun, so I know
41:46
Speaker 1: ain't nothing up there. I insult nothing up there. Now
41:48
Speaker 1: they're trying to make it like the dogs ain't gonna bark,
41:51
Speaker 1: the aunt ain't gonna move, you know, the elephants gonna
41:54
Speaker 1: look at each other strange. They just try to make
41:56
Speaker 1: a story up there and tell them glasses. I took
42:00
Speaker 1: me three Vitamin D pails and I said, I'm good.
42:02
Speaker 1: I don't know what else is gonna happen after that.
42:04
Speaker 1: Some more. I'm gonna tell you some thank you for
42:07
Speaker 1: calling on money making conversation, and really what this show
42:10
Speaker 1: is about is that I'm not trying to put no
42:11
Speaker 1: pressure because you're naturally funny anyway. It's really to help
42:15
Speaker 1: educate people about being successful, that every road to success
42:19
Speaker 1: is paid differently. And you know, and and and I've
42:23
Speaker 1: been fortunate to see your journey and and I'm gonna
42:26
Speaker 1: say this up top, is that you have created a
42:31
Speaker 1: raw sex appeal and and in the in the in
42:34
Speaker 1: the female comedian drawing raw that I think it's very powerful.
42:38
Speaker 1: Am I wrong in saying that, Um, that's that's cool,
42:41
Speaker 1: that's cool to be your perspective, that's cool. I can
42:44
Speaker 1: accept that that's nice because because we do not say
42:47
Speaker 1: that is that it's that, it's that it's nothing wrong
42:48
Speaker 1: because you know, because a lot of people think that
42:50
Speaker 1: you can't be be you know, you have to be
42:52
Speaker 1: a certain way. You gotta be you know, close bag
42:55
Speaker 1: or you know, a little clownish, a little google. You know,
42:58
Speaker 1: for a long time, Hollywood's option of black women being
43:01
Speaker 1: funny was fat black and on the trash. That's what
43:03
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Come on now, it was for a
43:06
Speaker 1: long time that was just the perception. And you know,
43:10
Speaker 1: I think we're still breaking down stereotypes with that. And uh,
43:14
Speaker 1: I just I just was here to prove that we
43:16
Speaker 1: can be funny and and and look all different types
43:19
Speaker 1: of ways. Now we were now in making that journey
43:21
Speaker 1: because you know, your success is you know, here's a
43:25
Speaker 1: deal my you know, my older sister gonna always take
43:27
Speaker 1: credit for discovering your at the Hip Hop Comedy Stop,
43:30
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm just tell you quick history about
43:32
Speaker 1: some More and I. I had a comedy club in
43:35
Speaker 1: two called the Hip Hop Comedy Stop, and and we
43:38
Speaker 1: used to bring in unknown talent and then we were
43:40
Speaker 1: We made our money on headliners that had a TV credits,
43:43
Speaker 1: and my sister were coming in for a month. She
43:45
Speaker 1: coming there with this videotape some More Some More, sit
43:48
Speaker 1: to my club to get booked. I wasn't looking at
43:51
Speaker 1: it at all. Finally I told her, Okay, I'm gonna
43:54
Speaker 1: just book her. I'm just gonna book her. If you
43:55
Speaker 1: just leave me along, Caroline, I'm a book her. I'm
43:59
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, book some More. She blew the headline. Yeah,
44:05
Speaker 1: it didn't even mean to do that time. My club
44:10
Speaker 1: was in Houston, flew from Atlanta, Georgia. She hit that
44:15
Speaker 1: stage and messed everybody up. And that was the foundation
44:19
Speaker 1: for you being a star, you know, because you just
44:22
Speaker 1: had that natural gift to be great and you've just
44:25
Speaker 1: carried it on. So here's here's the thing that people
44:28
Speaker 1: didn't know. Before I became a stand up comedian, I was.
44:31
Speaker 1: I was a business owner. I owned my own business.
44:34
Speaker 1: I own my own store. And then I used to
44:37
Speaker 1: be a a substitute algebra teacher. So days when I
44:42
Speaker 1: wasn't working at my store, I would be I would
44:44
Speaker 1: be in uh school, in the high schools teaching. And
44:48
Speaker 1: so before I became a comedian, I actually read a
44:51
Speaker 1: book and I still tell people refer people to this
44:55
Speaker 1: book today. It's called how to Be a Stand Up Comedian.
44:59
Speaker 1: I read the entire your book. I did exactly what
45:02
Speaker 1: the book said to do. I picked the persona that
45:04
Speaker 1: I wanted to go on stage to have um even
45:08
Speaker 1: from my name, my name, my real name is Laurie.
45:11
Speaker 1: I couldn't go up there and talk to jump that
45:12
Speaker 1: I was talking as Lori. So so I'm like, people
45:17
Speaker 1: ain't gonna buy that Laurie is this superhero. So I
45:20
Speaker 1: picked the name, and I said, if you give somebody
45:22
Speaker 1: something good with what they want, they would want some more. Okay,
45:25
Speaker 1: I'm going with some more and that's and that's how
45:28
Speaker 1: it happened. And I did exactly what the book said
45:31
Speaker 1: to do. I wrote my material, I stuck to my persona,
45:35
Speaker 1: I worked on my delivery and it worked. It was
45:38
Speaker 1: a business I approached it from a business perspective. Because
45:41
Speaker 1: your degrees in mathematics correct, right, My degree is in
45:44
Speaker 1: business administration of minor and mathematics. Because my degree is
45:47
Speaker 1: in mathematics. And the reason I bring that up because
45:50
Speaker 1: it is a certain analytical behavior that you have. You
45:53
Speaker 1: know too, plus two is always four and so if
45:56
Speaker 1: you and that means you're a planner, and that really
45:59
Speaker 1: I'm tasting. This is the first time I've heard your stories.
46:01
Speaker 1: Many times we've talked, and it's now we share the stage.
46:04
Speaker 1: That explains to me how your pattern of success, how
46:07
Speaker 1: you've always been a forward moving person. And I plan
46:11
Speaker 1: everything I write. I write notes every night before I
46:14
Speaker 1: go to bed my day what I'm gonna do the
46:17
Speaker 1: next day. I have to plan. I am. I am
46:20
Speaker 1: a planner. I have to. I have to. I believe
46:22
Speaker 1: in structure, right, and I really do. And then with that,
46:25
Speaker 1: with that, with that structure, so so because you've done
46:28
Speaker 1: certain things, I think that's been really important. You know,
46:31
Speaker 1: you your headline tours and then some tools you her host.
46:35
Speaker 1: Is there a strategy and the hosting versus the headlining?
46:40
Speaker 1: Here yeah, okay, here here's the thing. First of all,
46:43
Speaker 1: I love stand up stand up. It stole my heart,
46:47
Speaker 1: like I loved it, and I loved it from the
46:50
Speaker 1: time the first time I've ever seen Joan Rivers, I
46:53
Speaker 1: swear to you like I was just in awe in
46:56
Speaker 1: alle of the of the whole world of stand up.
46:59
Speaker 1: Like I said, I studied it, and for me, it's
47:03
Speaker 1: about the show, about it being a good show. It's
47:06
Speaker 1: never about just me as a performer. I want people
47:10
Speaker 1: to say, oh, that was a great show. So I
47:13
Speaker 1: always am concerned about my positioning on the show. You know,
47:18
Speaker 1: one thing that people never understood with deaf Comedy Jam
47:22
Speaker 1: when they would see people have bad sets on death
47:24
Speaker 1: Comedy Jam, and they never realized that sometime it was
47:27
Speaker 1: the positioning, the way people position you, or what you
47:32
Speaker 1: didn't know is that the audience stood outside for two
47:34
Speaker 1: hours to get in. It was cold, it was raining,
47:37
Speaker 1: but they're in a bad mood already, you know, would
47:40
Speaker 1: stand up. There's so many elements that go into your
47:44
Speaker 1: performance being successful. It really really really it's like, you know,
47:49
Speaker 1: just you know the thing that you're right on the
47:52
Speaker 1: money when you're talking about attitude, talking about positioning, and
47:55
Speaker 1: about taking advantage of things that have presented to you.
47:58
Speaker 1: For instance, here namy too, I'm on this this young lady.
48:02
Speaker 1: You know, I would had had to be forced to
48:04
Speaker 1: be on my comedy close stage because because we I
48:06
Speaker 1: didn't want to take the time to put on stage,
48:08
Speaker 1: because what I didn't think I had time. I ain't
48:11
Speaker 1: never heard of some more like you just told you
48:13
Speaker 1: just made the name up, you know, And so she
48:16
Speaker 1: blowed my stage away, and then what two years later,
48:19
Speaker 1: he was the first female host of bt S Comic
48:22
Speaker 1: View exactly Wow, which was strategic in what I wanted
48:27
Speaker 1: to do. Like I really made a lot of lot
48:29
Speaker 1: of strategic moves, even down to you know, like I
48:33
Speaker 1: still twenty five years in the business. I go on
48:35
Speaker 1: stage with a list, a comedy list, and people always say, well,
48:39
Speaker 1: why you just don't go up in freestyle? I can.
48:42
Speaker 1: I care about the quality of the show. I care
48:45
Speaker 1: about the quality of the show. Like I know the
48:48
Speaker 1: theme of this presentation that I am going to give
48:50
Speaker 1: you all some kind of way, all of these jokes
48:53
Speaker 1: will mesh with the overall theme of the show, like
48:56
Speaker 1: I'm that deep with it when it comes to doing
48:59
Speaker 1: stand up. But but that's where a lot of people
49:01
Speaker 1: miss is that they don't take the business side of life.
49:04
Speaker 1: And my whole, my whole thing I tell people when
49:06
Speaker 1: they listen to the show and watch the show on
49:08
Speaker 1: Facebook is that your story can be applied in so
49:12
Speaker 1: many different layers of life. You just happy to tell
49:15
Speaker 1: jokes because you're talking about, you know, planning your success.
49:18
Speaker 1: You're talking about, hey, getting up, you know, applying a
49:21
Speaker 1: plan of action and being consistent with your goal setting.
49:25
Speaker 1: And that's what this is all about. I have always
49:28
Speaker 1: been that way. I mean just from even you know,
49:30
Speaker 1: when you're going to the grocery store with your mother.
49:32
Speaker 1: Your mother before y'all leave, she said, look here, we're
49:34
Speaker 1: going in here with this list. I'm not buying you this.
49:38
Speaker 1: I'm not buying you that you get two things. You know,
49:41
Speaker 1: you had, you had a structure, so when you get
49:43
Speaker 1: in there, we already know the game plan. Like I
49:45
Speaker 1: am just a planning person. I have to have structure
49:49
Speaker 1: to know what it actually what what what is I'm
49:51
Speaker 1: going into and if it doesn't work for me, if
49:54
Speaker 1: it doesn't, if it won't, if I don't like to
49:56
Speaker 1: be put in situations where I don't, I'm not at
49:59
Speaker 1: my best light. And I tell people, if anything you do,
50:04
Speaker 1: you have to approach it as a business and you
50:07
Speaker 1: have to know your strengths and your weaknesses and always
50:09
Speaker 1: be in your best light. And that's really important. So
50:13
Speaker 1: so when I ask you this question about because I'm
50:15
Speaker 1: starting to see you more and more, you know, on
50:17
Speaker 1: social media. You know, I'm talking with the Facebook lide feeds,
50:21
Speaker 1: So so why why, why why are you doing that?
50:24
Speaker 1: And just just to teach the questions because I just
50:26
Speaker 1: want to educate. I don't. First of all, I'm so
50:29
Speaker 1: afraid of social media. It's so scary to me. It's
50:35
Speaker 1: so scary to me. And here's why it's scary to me,
50:37
Speaker 1: because you're you're open up and your your being vulnerable
50:41
Speaker 1: to people who, first of all, may not know your
50:43
Speaker 1: whole story. They don't they don't care about your whole story,
50:47
Speaker 1: and they can be evil when they can be mean,
50:50
Speaker 1: you know, So you when when you when you dibble
50:52
Speaker 1: and dabble in that particular arena you gotta you gotta
50:55
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta be careful because you could come
50:58
Speaker 1: on there and they'd be like your nose right right right, right,
51:02
Speaker 1: right right right, because because now is that the reason
51:04
Speaker 1: you were shades? No? No, the reason I love fun glasses? Okay,
51:10
Speaker 1: I want to know, because you know, every time I
51:12
Speaker 1: think you have those shades, are you'll be looking at
51:14
Speaker 1: I wear sunglasses. Let me tell you my own it
51:17
Speaker 1: is not complete. I start with the sunglass. Okay, but
51:24
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like people will say anything like like
51:27
Speaker 1: you look, I'm just not I'm just not cut from
51:29
Speaker 1: that cloth where I'm just to having to, you know,
51:33
Speaker 1: deal with people randomly, people's opinion all the time. So yeah,
51:39
Speaker 1: and I can understand. I can relate to that because
51:40
Speaker 1: that's a big part of social media, having to deal
51:43
Speaker 1: with opinions, having to deal with people making comments about you.
51:46
Speaker 1: But they tell you that that's the that's the forward
51:48
Speaker 1: motion because if you don't participate, then you're not considered topical,
51:51
Speaker 1: you're not consider the influencers. So if it forces you
51:55
Speaker 1: in that lane, that that guess what determines whether or
51:58
Speaker 1: not you successful in certain opportunities didn't come your way.
52:01
Speaker 1: So what do you think here? Here's the thing. Also, like,
52:04
Speaker 1: I don't worry about being relevant because most people that
52:09
Speaker 1: are relevant have a sex tape out. In order to
52:15
Speaker 1: be relevant, you just got to do so many things
52:18
Speaker 1: to be relevant. But what I work on and I
52:20
Speaker 1: do challenge people to do, is to be loyal to
52:23
Speaker 1: my brand or to be if you if you're interested
52:26
Speaker 1: in equality stand up, then this is where you can
52:29
Speaker 1: come to get it. But what what happened, what we're happened,
52:32
Speaker 1: what's happening now is that I think the art of
52:36
Speaker 1: stand up is being convoluted with so many different different
52:40
Speaker 1: styles and different you know, we're dealing with silly a
52:43
Speaker 1: lot too, and they give to engagement. You know, It's
52:48
Speaker 1: one thing for somebody to be silly sitting in a car,
52:51
Speaker 1: or silly for two minute two seconds you're seeing them
52:54
Speaker 1: on Facebook, then to be silly to be honest doing
52:58
Speaker 1: stand up on stage. Thank you some more for calling in.
53:01
Speaker 1: I gotta get you back on the air, because Wow,
53:04
Speaker 1: that was one of the most profound conversations I've ever
53:06
Speaker 1: had on my show about because she did what I
53:09
Speaker 1: wanted to do. It wasn't about being funny. It's about
53:11
Speaker 1: talking about her career about applying those skills that she
53:15
Speaker 1: does every day, you know, into what you should do
53:19
Speaker 1: every day. Have a plan, y'all, give yourself an opportunity
53:23
Speaker 1: to win. That's all. Some more we're talking about strategy.

54:03
Speaker 1: this show us all about. Small business entrepreneurship. Then people
54:07

54:44
Speaker 1: out there there and then I lay you out there. Man.
54:47
Speaker 1: You did you did, matter of fact, you you you,
54:49
Speaker 1: you did so much, delf and I don't even know
54:51
Speaker 1: what else was saying. You're gonna you know why because see,
54:54
Speaker 1: first of all, the only thing that disappoints me about
54:57
Speaker 1: not being able to skype is that we don't get
54:59
Speaker 1: to see your shot. So please tell everybody the name
55:02
Speaker 1: of your business and what you do at your business. Well,
55:05
Speaker 1: we're Indicator, Georgia. It's where my business is. I live
55:08
Speaker 1: in Stone Mountains and then in Atlanta now for about
55:11
Speaker 1: um about nine years now. I moved here from Detroit, Michigan.
55:15
Speaker 1: But we are we are Mega Helmets and Motorcycle Accessory.
55:19
Speaker 1: We decided first of all to open up Mega Helmets
55:23
Speaker 1: and Motorcycles Accessory Indicator Georgia because our community and you know,
55:28
Speaker 1: I know you're big about our community, think about our community.
55:32
Speaker 1: Our community does not have a motorcycle shot as many
55:37
Speaker 1: motorcycles as Guy's ride in Atlanta, Georgia. You've been down here,
55:40
Speaker 1: you have absolutely you know, brothers ride motorcycles all the time.
55:44
Speaker 1: How come we don't have a place where we can
55:45
Speaker 1: go buy help and our forty minutes outside the city
55:49
Speaker 1: and didn't make any sense to me. And that's what
55:52
Speaker 1: entrepreneurship is about. So you saw so let me just
55:54
Speaker 1: tell you. So you saw a vision. You saw a vision.
55:57
Speaker 1: But but how do you trust that vision? Darren? How
56:00
Speaker 1: do you trust it? Well, it takes submitted to trust vision.
56:05
Speaker 1: And it depends on how you grow up. I think
56:08
Speaker 1: the way I grew up, And I'm gonna tell you
56:11
Speaker 1: my background wasn't the prettiest background in the world. If
56:14
Speaker 1: five brothers, I have five, it's five of us four siblings.
56:18
Speaker 1: And we didn't grow up in the household that had money.
56:21
Speaker 1: That's like must black folks. We went to regular public schools.
56:25
Speaker 1: I remember being in the desegregation program that I hated.
56:29
Speaker 1: That I hated, and thank God for a father who said,
56:33
Speaker 1: you know what is he don't want to be in there?
56:34
Speaker 1: Desegregation program. Don't let him be in there. Let him
56:36
Speaker 1: go somewhere he's happy. He'll do well with his own
56:39
Speaker 1: And that's what I did. And as an entrepreneur, what
56:44
Speaker 1: we had to learn is I had to learn that
56:47
Speaker 1: if you want to succeed, first of all, you have
56:49
Speaker 1: to believe in you. And my father would continuously tell us,
56:54
Speaker 1: he said, I don't care who the president is. And
56:57
Speaker 1: that's no shot on Trump. Okay, well it is a
57:00
Speaker 1: shot on front. But he said, I don't care who
57:04
Speaker 1: the president is. She said. Let me tell you guys something.
57:07
Speaker 1: He said, when it comes to my kids, all that
57:09
Speaker 1: food up in that grocery store, and you think my
57:11
Speaker 1: kids ain't gonna eat, not only they're gonna eat, but
57:13
Speaker 1: they're gonna eat good. That right there alone is how
57:18
Speaker 1: he made us think. He made us think it didn't
57:20
Speaker 1: matter who or what kind of situation we were in.
57:23
Speaker 1: He said, if you depend on yourself, you can always
57:26
Speaker 1: take care of yourself. Now now, okay, now, so so
57:29
Speaker 1: you had this vision because I'm gonna keep pressing this
57:31
Speaker 1: because cee Cee, you you know you ain't you're even
57:34
Speaker 1: making you're selling bibe q. You know what I'm saying
57:36
Speaker 1: you didn't open up a car wash. You know what
57:38
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you don't open up no clothes store. You know,
57:41
Speaker 1: these are standard things and I'm not saying nothing wrong
57:44
Speaker 1: with them. Beauty salon like my my younger brother has
57:47
Speaker 1: four Beauty and Barbara salons in the DC area. You know,
57:51
Speaker 1: you know, nail shops. See, this is things people can
57:54
Speaker 1: wrap their head around if you did a business like that.
57:57
Speaker 1: But you go, you know something, I'm a open helpmet
58:02
Speaker 1: and motorcycle shop. Well come on, there's a whole lot
58:10
Speaker 1: of people looked at you crazy, didn't Yeah yeah, well McDonald.
58:17
Speaker 1: Let me say this. A lot of people think entrepreneur
58:20
Speaker 1: means that you just opened a business. See, entrepreneur has
58:25
Speaker 1: to be a visionary in the first place. We have
58:27
Speaker 1: to see opportunity when you see something. See, we were
58:32
Speaker 1: told something when we grow up. We said, oh, you
58:33
Speaker 1: could be anything you want to be. He could be
58:35
Speaker 1: an astronaut, you could be a fireman. And I think
58:37
Speaker 1: about something they told my younger son. He's seven years
58:40
Speaker 1: old and he went to school last year and they
58:43
Speaker 1: told him, oh, you're a scooter salesman. Now his dad
58:46
Speaker 1: owns the scooter shop at that time, Oh, you're a
58:49
Speaker 1: scooter salesman. He said no, he said, I am the
58:53
Speaker 1: scooter man. But he's in the first glade and they
58:55
Speaker 1: constantly tell him, so, you're a scooter salesman. They put
58:57
Speaker 1: a tag on this ship said he was a scooter
59:00
Speaker 1: up and he came home sad because he said, I
59:02
Speaker 1: tried to tell them. I tried to tell them that
59:05
Speaker 1: I owned the school shot. The thing is, I teach
59:09
Speaker 1: my son just like my father taught me, that really
59:12
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what you do. So when people say, oh,
59:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fireman, be an architect, I'm gonna
59:18
Speaker 1: be some police chief, the truth of the matter is
59:21
Speaker 1: all of those things are just things that when they
59:24
Speaker 1: come for career day at school, they tell you what
59:26
Speaker 1: you should be. See, they never walk into public schools
59:29
Speaker 1: and tell you that you can own the fire truck
59:32
Speaker 1: or own the company that manufactures the fire trucks. And
59:35
Speaker 1: that's how I was a visionary because my father told me,
59:38
Speaker 1: he said, well, if that man can do it, how
59:40
Speaker 1: come you can't do it. Anything that someone else can
59:43
Speaker 1: do that you can definitely do. And the thing is,
59:45
Speaker 1: it's not about me being a visionary it's not even
59:47
Speaker 1: about that little the twenty nine year old, the thirty
59:49
Speaker 1: year old being a visionary McDonald. It's about what we're
59:52
Speaker 1: gonna teach our children, so our generations that come after us,
59:56
Speaker 1: those are the visionaries. Visionaries are made in children, not
59:59
Speaker 1: in the those And that's what I learned. And that's
1:00:02
Speaker 1: why my son could talk about finances right now. He
1:00:04
Speaker 1: knows more about finances and most college people with people
1:00:07
Speaker 1: with college degree because you because you're laying the framework
1:00:11
Speaker 1: and making it normal for his life. Because that's when
1:00:13
Speaker 1: my whole show, that's how I started off the show, Darren,
1:00:16
Speaker 1: was about stereotypes, how people allow themselves to be boxed
1:00:19
Speaker 1: in and whose people have said the opportunity. Like I
1:00:22
Speaker 1: say this, I said, you know, in my lifetime, I've
1:00:24
Speaker 1: been I've been a Negro, I've been a black, and
1:00:26
Speaker 1: I've been in African American. No that way, nobody told
1:00:30
Speaker 1: me gave me an option that I could have raised
1:00:32
Speaker 1: my handset. How about white? Is that available? Is the available?
1:00:36
Speaker 1: Nobody gave me that option because but they told you
1:00:38
Speaker 1: what you are. And sometimes when people tell you what
1:00:41
Speaker 1: you are, if you allow that to be the dominant angle,
1:00:44
Speaker 1: then that's what you will be. And so your son,
1:00:47
Speaker 1: your son said, look, I'm the owner. I'm the owner.
1:00:51
Speaker 1: Why at y'all listening to me? I'm not the salesperson.
1:00:54
Speaker 1: I'm the owner. And that's a mentality that's great for
1:00:58
Speaker 1: him to say, because guess what other people around him.
1:01:01
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm gonna telling this story right quick there
1:01:03
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. You know, I don't drink or smoke.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: And believe me, my friends in college smoke, We crack
1:01:12
Speaker 1: god drawn all that stuff, cigarettes, everything, you know. But
1:01:16
Speaker 1: I always felt and the people ask me that. My
1:01:19
Speaker 1: wife asked me to why I didn't drink because I
1:01:21
Speaker 1: felt if I if I if I, if I did it,
1:01:24
Speaker 1: did I think I would have. I would have change
1:01:26
Speaker 1: the circumstances of everything around us because I held strong
1:01:30
Speaker 1: about what I believe was the right thing to do.
1:01:33
Speaker 1: Now they own insurance firms, they bank presidents, these same people,
1:01:38
Speaker 1: and I believe that if you hold strong to what
1:01:40
Speaker 1: you are, then other people will turn in that direction
1:01:43
Speaker 1: of positivity. And that's all I'm here for you, Darren,
1:01:46
Speaker 1: That's all I'm hearing from you, brother, because you know
1:01:50
Speaker 1: what McDonald, that's what it's about. We have to we
1:01:52
Speaker 1: have to think and create the existence. We have to
1:01:55
Speaker 1: create our reality. Since my partner Chris Nance always says
1:01:58
Speaker 1: he's he's doing a book will sell your heart out.
1:02:01
Speaker 1: He actually uh, he's a national trainer for Verizon for
1:02:05
Speaker 1: Verizon Wireless and their stores and sell your heart out.
1:02:08
Speaker 1: He he talks about creating your reality. And that's something
1:02:11
Speaker 1: him and I we grew up talking about and we said, man,
1:02:14
Speaker 1: we don't have to be what they tell us what
1:02:15
Speaker 1: we are, so it is up to us as parents
1:02:19
Speaker 1: and grandparents. We we We can't save everybody that's here
1:02:22
Speaker 1: right now. McDonald. You know that you've been out here
1:02:24
Speaker 1: a long time and you've been doing business a long time,
1:02:27
Speaker 1: from producer to writer and all that, and you can't
1:02:29
Speaker 1: save them all. But I guarantee you when you see
1:02:32
Speaker 1: those young kids walk through the door and they've come
1:02:34
Speaker 1: through on the Parenthood or whatever shows you've done in
1:02:36
Speaker 1: the past episodes, you can see that little kid and
1:02:40
Speaker 1: you can tell him how great he could be. You
1:02:42
Speaker 1: can tell him he could be if you want to correct,
1:02:45
Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct. And I tell you something, man, That's
1:02:48
Speaker 1: why I do the shows that I do. I've done
1:02:50
Speaker 1: in television. That's why I do shows that are inspiring
1:02:53
Speaker 1: for our community. You know, I've been offered all the
1:02:56
Speaker 1: popular shows out there, all the property shows that through
1:02:59
Speaker 1: glass because they're slappy in the face. I've been offered
1:03:03
Speaker 1: the opportunity to create these shows, executive executive produce these shows.
1:03:08
Speaker 1: And you can talk to my lawyer. I said no,
1:03:10
Speaker 1: because that's not the brand. That's not Rashan McDonald's brand.
1:03:13
Speaker 1: My brand is about your son coming back home, said,
1:03:16
Speaker 1: because he knows he's the owner and somebody telling he's
1:03:19
Speaker 1: a salesperson, and he's not accepting that because that's not
1:03:22
Speaker 1: the truth. That's not the brand, that's not the vision
1:03:25
Speaker 1: that he sees for himself in life. I'm gonna tell
1:03:28
Speaker 1: you something, man, Darren. We have to have you back,
1:03:32
Speaker 1: my man. In fact, you need to start cutting sixty
1:03:36
Speaker 1: second motivational Instagram promos and start putting them off there. Brother,
1:03:41
Speaker 1: you are a talent there. And I gotta get your wife. Man. Okay,
1:03:45
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I want your wife on the
1:03:46
Speaker 1: show next Mark. If she anything like you, then I'm
1:03:49
Speaker 1: gonna do a conference call with both of y'all and
1:03:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna do two parts. We're gonna do his and
1:03:54
Speaker 1: hugs she's gonna do that's that's so funny you say
1:03:58
Speaker 1: that because my my wife has a college degree from
1:04:02
Speaker 1: Michigan State University from Guyana. My wife always tells me
1:04:08
Speaker 1: the story how she had to sleep on the floor
1:04:11
Speaker 1: for a couple of years because she didn't have enough
1:04:13
Speaker 1: money for a bid when she was at Michigan State
1:04:15
Speaker 1: University off campus department. And my wife was making fifty
1:04:20
Speaker 1: fifty thou dollars a year when she met me. But
1:04:22
Speaker 1: one problem she had, she said she wasn't free. So
1:04:26
Speaker 1: when we got together, we had to look at each
1:04:29
Speaker 1: other and motivate each other, and we had to tell
1:04:31
Speaker 1: each other what it is. And she saw the entrepreneurship
1:04:33
Speaker 1: and me and I told her that you could do
1:04:35
Speaker 1: it too. Right now, today, my wife has come up
1:04:38

1:07:27
Speaker 1: the Salute Her Tour, which is Cafe Mocha's tour where
1:07:31
Speaker 1: we honor women. We just decided about seven years ago
1:07:35
Speaker 1: that we need to be about honoring and supporting one
1:07:38
Speaker 1: another networking, and so that's what we do. So in
1:07:41
Speaker 1: the four markets, um, starting with d C, New York, Charlotte,
1:07:45
Speaker 1: and Chicago will be going in and having luncheons and
1:07:49
Speaker 1: receptions and just you know, paying tribute to one another. Now.
1:07:54
Speaker 1: So so that's the that's that's that's the core reason
1:07:57
Speaker 1: that that Cafe Moca exists. There's the is I apologize
1:08:00
Speaker 1: to got a lot of new listeners. I know you,
1:08:04
Speaker 1: I know what Cafe More Radio is. Explain to everybody
1:08:06
Speaker 1: what is Cafe Moke Radio. Cafe Moke Radio is essentially
1:08:10
Speaker 1: a network and it's a radio show that is for women. Um,
1:08:14
Speaker 1: it was created by women and for women. It's called
1:08:17
Speaker 1: radio from a woman's perspective because we feel like, you know,
1:08:20
Speaker 1: on the radio, you got a lot of men but
1:08:22
Speaker 1: you know, we have a perspective too, and so it's
1:08:25
Speaker 1: hosted by Lonnie Love, who you might comedian you might
1:08:28
Speaker 1: know um as well. And Lonnie is you know, went
1:08:32
Speaker 1: to school the Prayer Offew So yeah, HBCU UM. So
1:08:36
Speaker 1: she's from down that way, UM, Lonnie Love, Angelie who's
1:08:39
Speaker 1: a veteran broadcast for years. Yes, great producer, uh and
1:08:44
Speaker 1: Yo Yo And so we started with mc light and
1:08:47
Speaker 1: uh mc light, I know she was on last week
1:08:50
Speaker 1: and you know she has a foundation and so she
1:08:53
Speaker 1: got very busy. So she said, you know, I think
1:08:56
Speaker 1: Yo Yo would be perfect for this and we so
1:08:59
Speaker 1: now Yo Yo and so it's just three women. But
1:09:01
Speaker 1: we call the Lifestyle Radio because we take on issues
1:09:05
Speaker 1: and topics of today that will affect everyone. Um. But
1:09:10
Speaker 1: at the same time, the music, we have the music
1:09:12
Speaker 1: there to kind of help drive the conversation as well,
1:09:16
Speaker 1: and that you know, kind of keeps things flowing. So
1:09:18
Speaker 1: we call the Lifestyle Radio and it's called Radio from
1:09:21
Speaker 1: a Woman's Perspective, and that's what it is. We're in
1:09:23
Speaker 1: about thirty five markets around the country now and doing
1:09:26
Speaker 1: really well. Thank you for your support because you were
1:09:29
Speaker 1: there from the beginning. I'm gonna tell you. So, first
1:09:32
Speaker 1: of all, you one of these people, your pioneer. Let's
1:09:35
Speaker 1: go and get that out the work. Oh my gosh,
1:09:37
Speaker 1: don't get that that way because because you said, you
1:09:39
Speaker 1: said a little bit, this is the male dominated business,
1:09:43
Speaker 1: you know. And then to launch a syndicated platform and
1:09:48
Speaker 1: with longevity and a sense of purpose, that takes all work,
1:09:52
Speaker 1: because you know, you got the executive reducer hat on,
1:09:54
Speaker 1: you got the salesman hat on, you got the producer
1:09:57
Speaker 1: hat on, and like you said, you know you lost
1:09:59
Speaker 1: a ari exceptional talent like m C Light and you
1:10:03
Speaker 1: kept moving forward with the same quality level and picked
1:10:06
Speaker 1: up more stations. So expect I created money to make
1:10:09
Speaker 1: conversations so people can hear that story, because you are
1:10:13
Speaker 1: a story. And then, like I said in your pioneer,
1:10:15
Speaker 1: so when you hear these things, you know told back
1:10:18
Speaker 1: to you. What you tell people? Why? Why? What keeps
1:10:22
Speaker 1: driving Sheila? What keeps driving you? I think what drives
1:10:25
Speaker 1: me is that knowing that tomorrow could be the big Dad,
1:10:31
Speaker 1: the day that we get that big break every day
1:10:34
Speaker 1: gives you the opportunity to get a big break and
1:10:38
Speaker 1: to take what is a vision and and mold it
1:10:42
Speaker 1: into something and see it manifest. When you in corporate America,
1:10:46
Speaker 1: you know, whether you do or don't, you know it's
1:10:49
Speaker 1: gonna still move on. But when you work for yourself
1:10:51
Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, you know, if that is such a
1:10:56
Speaker 1: driving to know that tomorrow could be that day and
1:11:00
Speaker 1: they say no, you know tomorrow is not given well,
1:11:03
Speaker 1: and so that kind of drives you to make the
1:11:05
Speaker 1: day that you're in, the day that you keep moving forward.
1:11:10
Speaker 1: Um also, you know, but there are some elements that
1:11:13
Speaker 1: you have to be mindful of. One is, if you're
1:11:16
Speaker 1: in a business, you got to know the business that
1:11:19
Speaker 1: you're in. You also got to know the business. You
1:11:22
Speaker 1: got to know finances. So always tell people as entrepreneurs,
1:11:26
Speaker 1: take a class because many times we don't know just
1:11:30
Speaker 1: the basics of how to manage our income and how
1:11:34
Speaker 1: to manage the business because they're gonna be those lean
1:11:36
Speaker 1: times and you have to know how to do that.
1:11:38
Speaker 1: So if you take a class on accounting and just
1:11:41
Speaker 1: understanding your business, then when you have to always have
1:11:45
Speaker 1: a good accountant, You always have to have a great
1:11:48
Speaker 1: c p. A. You gotta have a good lawyer. Those
1:11:50
Speaker 1: are three partners that you have to have. And then
1:11:53
Speaker 1: there's one other partners that whether you like that partner
1:11:56
Speaker 1: or not, it's gonna always be there and you got
1:12:00
Speaker 1: to give it its respect. But you also have to
1:12:02
Speaker 1: strategize on how to work around and make sure that
1:12:06
Speaker 1: it works for you. And that's the government. That's taxes.
1:12:09
Speaker 1: The biggest thing with most small businesses that we don't
1:12:12
Speaker 1: know how to manage and strategize our taxes, so we
1:12:16
Speaker 1: get caught. And you can't be in business and not
1:12:20
Speaker 1: have your taxes paid and not have you know, a
1:12:23
Speaker 1: good rating on your business. So there some of the elements.
1:12:27
Speaker 1: And I've been in business now, I hate to say,
1:12:29
Speaker 1: well said, but it's a little bit a long time.
1:12:32
Speaker 1: It's been about thirty years, right right, But that's why
1:12:36
Speaker 1: I have you on the show because the thing about
1:12:39
Speaker 1: is that every every decade the tax structure changes and
1:12:42
Speaker 1: the rules changed. You know. I just saw a story
1:12:45
Speaker 1: I remember in the you know, in the naties, I
1:12:47
Speaker 1: promoted concerts, but now you know the ticketmaster rates high,
1:12:52
Speaker 1: and then the ad rates on radio guns are high.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: The profitability left. It's like, you know, so so that
1:12:58
Speaker 1: meant that when you said that, laugh, because I remember
1:13:00
Speaker 1: when I opened my communy club hip hop commedy stop
1:13:03
Speaker 1: in Houston. Our tickets with ten dollars. I didn't know
1:13:06
Speaker 1: you had to pay taxes or every ticket you sold.
1:13:09
Speaker 1: So nay days later, you know, tax man came to
1:13:12
Speaker 1: me a said, young man, you owe some money. I
1:13:15
Speaker 1: said for what? He said on every ticket, you say
1:13:18
Speaker 1: you aways eight percent? I go what? And he presented
1:13:22
Speaker 1: me with a bill. If I didn't pay that bill,
1:13:23
Speaker 1: then he was going to close down my club. So
1:13:26
Speaker 1: that's what a good accounting. The CPA that you were
1:13:29
Speaker 1: talking about are important, and without a doubt, I mean
1:13:33
Speaker 1: you have to. I mean that's just the that's the
1:13:35
Speaker 1: key to longevity and being in business and and it's
1:13:39
Speaker 1: also the key to being able to raise money. You know,
1:13:41
Speaker 1: we are the people we have a very difficult time
1:13:43
Speaker 1: raising money. Other cultures they got family, they got friends
1:13:47
Speaker 1: that would help invest in them. Shoot, when you start
1:13:50
Speaker 1: a business, nobody wants to invest in because you're the
1:13:54
Speaker 1: only one that sees your vision. And so you have
1:13:58
Speaker 1: to be able to sustain to get to where you
1:14:01
Speaker 1: can start raising money. Okay, we're on the phone. We're
1:14:03
Speaker 1: here with missus Sheila Edwards. She's the creator, executive producer
1:14:07
Speaker 1: of Cafe Mocha Radio after after tell everybody how important
1:14:11
Speaker 1: that is to me and be able to let her
1:14:13
Speaker 1: know because she she one of those people. She's like me, Well,
1:14:16
Speaker 1: all those years with Steve, I stayed in the shadow,
1:14:18
Speaker 1: and I'm still proud I stayed in the shadow. But
1:14:20
Speaker 1: there's something out there that's move and creating change. And
1:14:23
Speaker 1: Sheila Eldred is one of those people who create change.
1:14:26
Speaker 1: As you hear articulate, this is a person on this
1:14:29
Speaker 1: radio show that they're giving you free advice to be
1:14:31
Speaker 1: successful because guess what, she don't want you to fail.
1:14:34
Speaker 1: She don't want you to fail. And so your event
1:14:36
Speaker 1: that you have in this Friday, what is the core
1:14:39
Speaker 1: purpose of it? And can people buy tickets to it? Well,
1:14:42
Speaker 1: we're will be in Washington, d C. And people can
1:14:44
Speaker 1: buy tickets. It's on event right or you can go
1:14:47
Speaker 1: to Salute Her dot com and purchase tickets there. We
1:14:50
Speaker 1: started a foundation about three years ago. UM it's called
1:14:54
Speaker 1: the More Cares Foundation because we were supporting so many
1:14:57
Speaker 1: other foundations that what we wanted to do with start
1:15:00
Speaker 1: something where we could help raise money and go into
1:15:04
Speaker 1: shelters and work with foster kids for mental programs. And
1:15:08
Speaker 1: that's really what the what the event is we raise
1:15:11
Speaker 1: money for our Mocha Cares Foundation, but it's also, like
1:15:14
Speaker 1: I said, to inspire and with the stories of the
1:15:18
Speaker 1: women that we're on and when we're on it and
1:15:19
Speaker 1: paym Grier, why you wouldn't believe the men that are
1:15:22
Speaker 1: coming because they want to see believe. Come on now,
1:15:26
Speaker 1: I saw I saw coffee the other day. Okay, I
1:15:29
Speaker 1: saw coffee the other day, so you MIGHTSTI re shoe
1:15:32
Speaker 1: this fright. You should come as our guest. This is
1:15:37
Speaker 1: the beauty of what you do is it's so amazing
1:15:40
Speaker 1: because the thing that I liked about what you said
1:15:43
Speaker 1: is that you know it's it's groundbreaking. And since you're
1:15:46
Speaker 1: trying to help people and you can't help enough people.
1:15:49
Speaker 1: And I always tell people that I'm an American citizen.
1:15:52
Speaker 1: I paid my taxes, and I guess what I want
1:15:56
Speaker 1: other people pay their taxes. But all the time, they
1:15:57
Speaker 1: can pay their taxes if you help them and position
1:16:01
Speaker 1: to be able to be a taxpayer. And that's what
1:16:03
Speaker 1: Cafe Moka is all about. That radio, that format is
1:16:07
Speaker 1: radio for all women to be able to be successful,
1:16:10
Speaker 1: to learn the value of the next step opportunity, isn't
1:16:13
Speaker 1: that really true? No, no question, no question, because you know,
1:16:16
Speaker 1: something so small to us because we're in it could
1:16:20
Speaker 1: be so big to someone that's right on the edge
1:16:24
Speaker 1: or someone that just needs a hand. Going into these shelters,
1:16:28
Speaker 1: we're finding out that their women all they need is
1:16:31
Speaker 1: just a hand, you know, just a little the clothes
1:16:35
Speaker 1: they need, just you know, for the kids. And they're
1:16:37
Speaker 1: very concerned about their kids. So things that are you know,
1:16:41
Speaker 1: for us that have been in the industry and in
1:16:43
Speaker 1: the music industry and everything, uh, we take for granted.
1:16:47
Speaker 1: You know, you see how the small things in life
1:16:49
Speaker 1: are the most valuable things in life. And that's really
1:16:52
Speaker 1: what our purpose is now. Yes, yes, our sponsors are Toyota, Toyota,
1:16:59
Speaker 1: the my yes, yes, yes uh arpcuse Matt, I mean
1:17:05
Speaker 1: RS hair Care um. And then we have a lot,
1:17:07
Speaker 1: you know a lot of small sponsors, but there are
1:17:09
Speaker 1: big sponsors who have really brought into and believe our mission.
1:17:14
Speaker 1: Toyota has been there for the last two years. A
1:17:17
Speaker 1: RP came on board because they heard about it, and
1:17:19
Speaker 1: O r AS hair Care has just been there with
1:17:21
Speaker 1: us for the last two years as well. So that
1:17:23
Speaker 1: that's pretty much you know, We're very proud of the
1:17:26
Speaker 1: two and it's outgrowth of the radio show. Because now

1:19:57
Speaker 1: do is you climb out that box. But to climb
