5:41
Speaker 1: competition was actually supposed to happen on November three, that's
5:45
Speaker 1: a Friday. Now, if anybody has been following Houston the
5:50
Speaker 1: last couple of Fridays, you all should know that the
5:55
Speaker 1: Houston Astros or World Champions now they was holding this
6:01
Speaker 1: event downtown. So they knew to try to hold this
6:05
Speaker 1: event downtown was gonna be utter cad chaos. Plus they
6:09
Speaker 1: knew they're gonna be celebrate too, so they counseled the
6:12
Speaker 1: event on November three and moved it to November seventeen.
6:16
Speaker 1: They asked me, re shot, We're gonna moved to date
6:20
Speaker 1: because the Houston nastrol is just warm. We gotta do
6:22
Speaker 1: a big parade in downtown Houston. Can you change the date?
6:26
Speaker 1: Will you be willing to consider a new date? I said,
6:29
Speaker 1: come on that. I'm happy to astros Wong. So this Friday,
6:34
Speaker 1: I'll be back in Houston hosting the Liftoff Houston Competition
6:42
Speaker 1: at the Julia Idison Building in downtown Houston. Now Lift
6:46
Speaker 1: Off Houston, the City of Houston's annual Business Plan competition,
6:50
Speaker 1: is an entrepreneur initiative aim to empower Houstonians with business literacy, education,
6:56
Speaker 1: and mentorship to start their own business while contributing to
6:59
Speaker 1: the local growth and sustainability of the Houston economy. This year,
7:03
Speaker 1: there will be three award categories, and each category you
7:07
Speaker 1: can win ten thousand dollars. So they can say all
7:09
Speaker 1: those fancy words they want, but the bottom line this
7:12
Speaker 1: is about winning money. In each category you can win
7:15
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars with a total person of thirty thousand
7:19
Speaker 1: if you're fortunate to win all three categories. But right
7:22
Speaker 1: now we're just talking about each category. The first category
7:25
Speaker 1: would be product, the second category will be service, and
7:28
Speaker 1: the third category will be innovation. Now you can't enter now,
7:34
Speaker 1: but I'm sure they held this contest last year. This
7:37
Speaker 1: competition last year is kind of like a Shark Tank
7:39
Speaker 1: Shark Tank promotion. It is sponsored by Capital One Bank,
7:43
Speaker 1: and so it's really a cool thing to do, is
7:46
Speaker 1: our own version of Shark Tank. I'll be hosting, There'll
7:49
Speaker 1: be three of the judges. That's gonna be a live audience,
7:52
Speaker 1: so please bring your personality people. And then there is
7:56
Speaker 1: gonna be one prize where you can win based on
7:58
Speaker 1: audience reaction. So if you bring if the contestants bring
8:03
Speaker 1: a lot of people and they make noise, and it's
8:05
Speaker 1: kind of like Apolo style where I'll be able to
8:08
Speaker 1: say you have the most noise, You're gonna win this prize.
8:11
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with the three prizes, which
8:14
Speaker 1: are the Product, Service and Innovation prizes where you win
8:17
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars each. This is another cooler prize just
8:20
Speaker 1: to encourage people to bring people to the show that
8:23
Speaker 1: we're hosting it. We're trying to build up some momentum
8:25
Speaker 1: with this. That's why I'm involved because of the fact
8:28
Speaker 1: that it involved small businesses and if anybody has has
8:32
Speaker 1: has called onto my matra. The last uh this summer,
8:36
Speaker 1: I've been all about the small businesses. I've been all
8:38
Speaker 1: about when the when the small businesses were hit by
8:41
Speaker 1: Hurricane Harvey. I got withdrawn love of the Texas Black
8:45
Speaker 1: Expo and we set up a campaign to raise funds
8:49
Speaker 1: to assist small businesses that were damaged by Hurricane Harvey.
8:53
Speaker 1: And we were giving out one thousand dollars stipends to
8:57
Speaker 1: each business who registered on the Texas Black Expo site.
9:01
Speaker 1: So this is my mantra anything that has to do
9:04
Speaker 1: with small businesses because small business employ people, small businesses
9:09
Speaker 1: pay taxes. So that's why it's important that small businesses survived.
9:14
Speaker 1: And that's what the LIFTOFF Houston is. Competition is all
9:16
Speaker 1: about encouraging people to reach out because a lot of
9:19
Speaker 1: people just start business with a with a bucket and
9:22
Speaker 1: a bad thought. You know what I'm saying. I like
9:24
Speaker 1: my idea, just just go out there. They don't have
9:27
Speaker 1: no business plan. That's the bad thought part of it.
9:31
Speaker 1: Just go out there. I want to start a car wash.
9:34
Speaker 1: I want to I want to start saying burgers, okay,
9:37
Speaker 1: all right, what's your business plan? What happens if the
9:39
Speaker 1: burgers don't take off? What happened the only people that
9:41
Speaker 1: like your burgers? Other people in your house? What if
9:44
Speaker 1: you decided to pick a corner they don't know cars
9:47
Speaker 1: really come down that need their cars washed, or you
9:50
Speaker 1: don't or you don't have a uniform, or you look,
9:52
Speaker 1: you look about this dirty as the cars you're gonna wash.
9:55
Speaker 1: How about that that happens all the time because you
9:58
Speaker 1: hadn't figured out You don't want to calm your hair,
10:00
Speaker 1: I don't need to dress up. I'm washing calls. Guess what.
10:04
Speaker 1: People want you to look a certain way. If you
10:06
Speaker 1: don't look a certain way, guess what, they're not gonna
10:09
Speaker 1: give you your money. Now, that's what Lift Off Houston
10:12
Speaker 1: is all about. That's what my passion for small business
10:14
Speaker 1: is all about. I'm here to encourage people to be
10:18
Speaker 1: better than what they think they can be and to
10:21
Speaker 1: plan to be greater than they want to be. Now,
10:24
Speaker 1: with that being said, I want to give a couple
10:26
Speaker 1: of shout outs to a couple of businesses. I saw
10:29

Speaker 1: You've always been an ambassador man for uplift, for the
14:42
Speaker 1: everyday person. That is. That's kind of like a part
14:45
Speaker 1: of your d n A. Correct it is. You know
14:48
Speaker 1: what's crazy is I grew up in a family where
14:51
Speaker 1: my grandfather was a pharmacist in Seneca, South Carolina, which
14:55
Speaker 1: is a small town. He the black community all all
14:59
Speaker 1: around down and and he would try I would see
15:01
Speaker 1: him trade potatoes, chickens for pharmaceuticals, and he served the community,
15:07
Speaker 1: you know, he literally served the community. And and my
15:09
Speaker 1: other grandfather, my father's side, was the same way. And
15:13
Speaker 1: I learned that from them, and and and I really,
15:15
Speaker 1: what's the use of of being here, of traveling through
15:18
Speaker 1: this journey of life unless you actually serve the community
15:22
Speaker 1: that you're a part of. And that's that's that's just
15:24
Speaker 1: it makes me happy. Man. I get as much out
15:26
Speaker 1: of it as as uh as I give. And so
15:29
Speaker 1: so I'm proud of that. And I'm proud that my
15:31
Speaker 1: family gave me that, and they believing this should be
15:34
Speaker 1: proud of that because the fact that you know, I
15:36
Speaker 1: come from humble beginnings, and the whole purpose of with
15:40
Speaker 1: my success is that I've just had this natural entrepreneurs
15:43
Speaker 1: side of me, and natural trying to uplift and natural
15:46
Speaker 1: trying to be engaged and trying to create people. And
15:48
Speaker 1: one of the interesting things that I want to bring
15:50
Speaker 1: up here was that in I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
15:56
Speaker 1: Really I didn't know that. Yeah, that's the crazy part.
15:58
Speaker 1: And I just found that out. And that's one of
15:59
Speaker 1: the reason I want to bring you on the show.
16:01
Speaker 1: And I know there, I know the product we're about
16:03
Speaker 1: to talk about is tied to that, and and the
16:07
Speaker 1: thing about it, it was that And I know I
16:09
Speaker 1: only have you for one break. And I said, Man,
16:10
Speaker 1: when men get to talk, and they're gonna be said,
16:12
Speaker 1: because we're gonna talk about so much once he knows
16:14
Speaker 1: that we have that link. Because it changed my life, man,
16:17
Speaker 1: because it also let me focus on where am I
16:21
Speaker 1: add in my life, you know, because I don't care.
16:24
Speaker 1: You know this for a fact. When they say the
16:25
Speaker 1: word cancer, dude, your life stops. Yea, it stops. I
16:30
Speaker 1: don't care who you are, how young you are, how
16:32
Speaker 1: old you are, I don't care what. It's just the
16:34
Speaker 1: sea word has been spoken in front of you, and
16:36
Speaker 1: you're starting to put all everything in order, everything in order.
16:40
Speaker 1: And and that is that because that happened to you,
16:43
Speaker 1: it inspired you and tell us the respiration and so
16:46
Speaker 1: we can get into the whole reason why you're on
16:48
Speaker 1: the show today. Yeah, So what happened when I was
16:51
Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer. My father had died of cancer, pareat cancer,
16:56
Speaker 1: My uncle had died of lung cancer. My grandfather, their head,
17:00
Speaker 1: died of cancer. So so cancer obviously ran in the
17:03
Speaker 1: mail of my family. So I was I was very
17:05
Speaker 1: afraid and then ultimately did everything I could to to
17:09
Speaker 1: to to deal with it, had the surgery, all of that.
17:13
Speaker 1: So this President Obama. President Obama knew that this had
17:16
Speaker 1: happened to me, um, you know, through our friendship, and
17:19
Speaker 1: he asked me if I would join the President's Cancer Panel,
17:22
Speaker 1: which is a panel that makes recommendations to the White
17:24
Speaker 1: House round cancer policy. There's always one non scientist on
17:28
Speaker 1: the panel. So I joined this panel. And what happened
17:31
Speaker 1: was all these scientists would come in and say, listen,
17:34
Speaker 1: this isn't studied and it will never be studied because
17:37
Speaker 1: of money and political reasons that I'll talk to you
17:39
Speaker 1: about blah blah blah blah blah. But we believe that
17:42
Speaker 1: a lot of the root cause of cancer has to
17:44
Speaker 1: do with what we put on our skin. Our skin
17:46
Speaker 1: is the largest organ in our body, swords everything. If
17:50
Speaker 1: you aid it, your enderconsystem, your liver, your kidneys have
17:53
Speaker 1: to deal with it. And they said the reason why
17:55
Speaker 1: I will never be tested because the same companies that
17:57
Speaker 1: make the lotions that contain the illuminiums, the petroleums, the
18:00
Speaker 1: paramin and the oils and all these things, the same
18:03
Speaker 1: companies who make that are also the same companies of
18:05
Speaker 1: the drug company. So they're never going to do a
18:08
Speaker 1: long term study of the effects of their product on
18:12
Speaker 1: on on you. So it led me to to to
18:16
Speaker 1: join with a scientist. Uh we formulated products to two
18:20
Speaker 1: years of formulation to create this company called Be the
18:23
Speaker 1: Architect dot Com. Because I always talk about all of
18:25
Speaker 1: us are the architects of our own life. We can
18:28
Speaker 1: create a life like an architect builds a building, but
18:30
Speaker 1: you gotta start with a blueprint or a plan, and
18:32
Speaker 1: then you've got to build a foundation, etcetera, just like
18:35
Speaker 1: an architect approaches. So so that's why it's called be
18:38
Speaker 1: the Architect dot Com. People can go to Hill Harper
18:40
Speaker 1: dot com and actually see the product that we have.
18:43
Speaker 1: You know, a ton of promotions, but basically the products
18:46
Speaker 1: are affordable, premium quality products that don't contain any carcinogenic material.
18:52
Speaker 1: When I say Carson and gentle matey, I'm talking about
18:54
Speaker 1: if lotions. Most people are listening to us right now,
18:58
Speaker 1: have on their shelf. If you at the back, it
19:00
Speaker 1: will say aluminium in some form on the back of that.
19:04
Speaker 1: Your body cannot process aluminum. It cannot process it. But
19:08
Speaker 1: if you put it on your skin, it goes into
19:10
Speaker 1: your liver, it goes into your kidneys, and it impacts
19:13
Speaker 1: you your body. Petroleum, you're not meant to absorb literally
19:18
Speaker 1: motor oil. When I'm calling you know, it's sad that
19:22
Speaker 1: whole life petroleum. Jelly is delly is a byproduct of oil. Yeah,
19:30
Speaker 1: we we will, will will put vasoline all over our
19:33
Speaker 1: bodies and think that's healthy. It's horrible, your nose, everything,
19:38
Speaker 1: you know. I'm yeah, we'll put it. We'll put it there.
19:41
Speaker 1: And then the worst one of all, to be honest,
19:44
Speaker 1: is what they call baby oil because it makes you
19:47
Speaker 1: think it's good for a baby. Will actually put it
19:49
Speaker 1: on babies. That is called the basis. They call it
19:52
Speaker 1: mineral oil, which is another big lie. It's nothing mineral
19:55
Speaker 1: about it. There's no minerals. What it is is another
19:58
Speaker 1: petroleum by product. Okay, it is. It is horrendous for you,
20:04
Speaker 1: but yet it's cheap. They sell it to the communities
20:07
Speaker 1: that that that have the least amount of money our communities, right,
20:11
Speaker 1: and they market it as if it's good for babies, etcetera.
20:14
Speaker 1: So my product, I said, well, I gotta come out
20:16
Speaker 1: with the set of price. There's plenty of organic products
20:18
Speaker 1: out there that are expensive, right, But I said, I
20:21
Speaker 1: need to come out with some products that that folks
20:23
Speaker 1: don't have to choose between food and and and healthy products.
20:27
Speaker 1: It's a shame that that choice is out there. So
20:30
Speaker 1: if you go to the site Hill Harvord dot com,
20:32
Speaker 1: you'll see be the architect UH and Co. You'll see us,
20:36
Speaker 1: and you'll see that these products are extremely healthy, but
20:39
Speaker 1: they're also extremely affordable the same same price you pay
20:42
Speaker 1: for for other other products that in the same category
20:45
Speaker 1: at Walgreen, CVS or get Walmart. And we should tell
20:49
Speaker 1: you there's a female line and a male line, and
20:53
Speaker 1: that needs to be really really brought up because I
20:55
Speaker 1: look through the whole process that way. But I would
20:57
Speaker 1: tell you this, that's very important because a lot of
21:00
Speaker 1: the people think you can't you know, female and male
21:03
Speaker 1: skin tones, embody needs and all needs. Inherent needs are
21:07
Speaker 1: totally different. And I hate problems to try to make
21:09
Speaker 1: it all in one. That's why I really respected your
21:12
Speaker 1: whole brain. When I saw that when he's on the
21:14
Speaker 1: something that's really good because he's not trying to make
21:17
Speaker 1: this all in one just bother shampoo work for women
21:19
Speaker 1: and they bother up all you're saying it's different and
21:22
Speaker 1: explain to people why that's important. So it's important because
21:26
Speaker 1: here's the deal. When you when when you put oil
21:30
Speaker 1: or you put anything on your body, it go. It
21:33
Speaker 1: impacts the pH of your skin, which is you know
21:37
Speaker 1: you you you want your skin to be soft. All
21:40
Speaker 1: of us wanted to be soft and wanted to be healthy,
21:42
Speaker 1: trying not drying ashy. And the oil, the key oil
21:47
Speaker 1: that we use. It's called wild bab oil, wild bab oil,
21:50
Speaker 1: and it's from Africa. It's got properties of vitamin A
21:53
Speaker 1: D C. It's from they called the tree of life
21:57
Speaker 1: in Africa and it's the wildbab tree. The oil comes
22:00
Speaker 1: from a seed there. It's grown in Malawi, Northern Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Madagascar,
22:06
Speaker 1: et cetera. And we're one of the first products in
22:09
Speaker 1: the United States to import bilbab oil and infuse it
22:13
Speaker 1: into our products. We think the oil is great, particularly
22:16
Speaker 1: for skin with melanin and when you have melanin in
22:20
Speaker 1: your skin to need um. The need shift, they change,
22:23
Speaker 1: we have less. We tend to have less vitamin D
22:26
Speaker 1: in our system. Our Vitamin D is one of the
22:28
Speaker 1: healthiest properties you can have. We tend to have less
22:30
Speaker 1: vitamin D because the melanin in our skin, and so therefore,
22:35
Speaker 1: supplementing vitamin D and having oils that already naturally contain
22:40
Speaker 1: vitamin D properties in the oil helps you get that
22:43
Speaker 1: through your skin. Uh. And you don't have to lay
22:45
Speaker 1: out in the sun all day now, So go ahead. Now,
22:50
Speaker 1: I'm about to say, I wanted to let people know
22:52
Speaker 1: about the subscription. I apologize for cutting you up. I want,
22:54
Speaker 1: I don't I want, I don't want to be really
22:56
Speaker 1: remiss and let people know that I love the fact
22:59
Speaker 1: that you for a subscription component because because here's the
23:04
Speaker 1: deal with my wife, she gets mad at me because
23:06
Speaker 1: I go to the store or CVS or wal gree
23:08
Speaker 1: and I buy four or five or something, and she goes,
23:11
Speaker 1: why are you just crowding up her? Well, see, I
23:13
Speaker 1: like the factor you're offering your subscription that way, it
23:16
Speaker 1: comes in on the on the time I'm gonna run out,
23:18
Speaker 1: And I love that option. Man. I gotta get that out.
23:22
Speaker 1: You know, we're at the point now where folks are
23:24
Speaker 1: shifting their buying habit, not just showing up at the
23:27
Speaker 1: stores anymore and saying I'm gonna pull this off the shelf.
23:31
Speaker 1: So what we wanted to do is created an automatic
23:35
Speaker 1: way that you get a box every two months, automatically
23:38
Speaker 1: in a cool, great way to give gift somebody. Now
23:40
Speaker 1: we're in the holiday season, come on, come on, a
23:43
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of brothers out there. Come on,
23:47
Speaker 1: a lot of brothers are really taking care of their
23:50
Speaker 1: grooming needs the way they should. And if you're assist
23:53
Speaker 1: out there, who has a niece, I mean a nephew
23:56
Speaker 1: or a son, or a boyfriend or a husband or
23:59
Speaker 1: baby daddy or whatever categories time time, because you know,
24:04
Speaker 1: buy a subscription so for an entire year at a
24:08
Speaker 1: very affordable price, they'll they'll have their whole grooming stuff unlocked.
24:12
Speaker 1: They're good. They have shaving kids, shaving oil, bump Fighter,
24:16
Speaker 1: they'll have the skincare, they have the shampoo, a bump fighter,
24:22
Speaker 1: bump Fighter absolutely. And you know, obviously we don't want
24:25
Speaker 1: a key Lloyd. We have different needs because our hair
24:27
Speaker 1: curls before hits the top of the skin, so with curls,
24:30
Speaker 1: so we need different things to open up the skin
24:33
Speaker 1: to make sure the hair and the follicle can make
24:36
Speaker 1: it out and soil. That's what bump fighters do. Some
24:38
Speaker 1: bump fighters have acid. We don't choose to put acid
24:41
Speaker 1: in our bump fighters because we don't believe you need
24:43
Speaker 1: to be burning your skin to have healthy skin. So
24:47
Speaker 1: so what I'm doing for everybody, for everybody who's listening,
24:51
Speaker 1: I've decided to do a promotional code because I respect
24:54
Speaker 1: this audience. Um, we're gonna do if you if you
24:57
Speaker 1: put in the promotional code, try me try on the
25:03
Speaker 1: website you off off? Can you do? Can you do
25:08
Speaker 1: me a face here? Okay? Because I got a Facebook
25:11
Speaker 1: page money Making Conversation, and I also have my my
25:13
Speaker 1: personal Facebook page there's almost seven hundred thousand followers. Please
25:18
Speaker 1: tell your team to give me of a banner, a
25:22
Speaker 1: social media banner that says that on there, and I

25:28
Speaker 1: and I come back and posted again in December on
25:31
Speaker 1: my personal fan page. Because this is Christmas time. I
25:35
Speaker 1: know exactly what you're trying to do here with a
25:37
Speaker 1: product that cared about I said, I love the fact
25:40
Speaker 1: that you know, first of all, you're small, You've done
25:42
Speaker 1: your work. Now. The only thing I was kind of
25:44
Speaker 1: wondering why when I went to the male side, which
25:47
Speaker 1: is H two L the female problem is j u A,
25:50
Speaker 1: why I didn't do it? I see your Harper Why
25:56
Speaker 1: that see here Harper face? I saw this because why
25:59
Speaker 1: come on your face? That's a great point. You know
26:04
Speaker 1: what we're what we're attempting to do here is not
26:07
Speaker 1: build it off just my celebrity and the idea saying leverages.
26:11
Speaker 1: You know here here is this is I want to
26:14
Speaker 1: be taken seriously as a business owner and not just
26:17
Speaker 1: some celeb who people think they slapped his name on
26:20
Speaker 1: a product. Stop. Now, this is what I do. This
26:24
Speaker 1: is what I do branding and marketing. Now, I see
26:26
Speaker 1: Jenner for Little Pears. I see all these stars out
26:29
Speaker 1: here on these face Beyonce. But you know the difference.
26:35
Speaker 1: The difference difference is they don't make their products. They're
26:39
Speaker 1: just they're they're just private labeling. Absolutely, this is true.
26:44
Speaker 1: I'm manufacted this, it is my manufacturing company. It's my
26:47
Speaker 1: I'm manufactured. All in the USA were jobs and and
26:52
Speaker 1: so I'm not private labeling this product. That's why I
26:55
Speaker 1: have control over all the made in some fact Hill
27:01
Speaker 1: Harper label on it. This is my company UM and
27:05
Speaker 1: and my partners, and we manufactured at our manufacturing company.
27:08
Speaker 1: And so that's why I'm so proud. And that's why
27:10
Speaker 1: it's like, folks, if you want, if you want something
27:12
Speaker 1: good to support, this is the story. That's what I'm telling.
27:15
Speaker 1: And and also I'll make this point. I met with
27:17
Speaker 1: an expert can't care and and I wanted his advice,
27:21
Speaker 1: just like all of us, we need advice and help
27:24
Speaker 1: along our our journey. And he told me Hill, he said,
27:27
Speaker 1: at this price point, you're gonna fail. Because why do
27:30
Speaker 1: you say that? He said, well, what you don't realize
27:34
Speaker 1: is that in the skincare area, people have been brained brainwashed.
27:38
Speaker 1: And I said, what do you mean brainwash? He said, well,
27:40
Speaker 1: people believe that if it's not expensive, it can't be good.
27:43
Speaker 1: Then he broke out this little one ounce thing, a
27:46
Speaker 1: little thing of oil uh things, you know. He calls
27:51
Speaker 1: it a serum, and he said how much do you
27:53
Speaker 1: He said, how much do you think it cost me
27:55
Speaker 1: to make this serum? I said, I have no idea.
27:58
Speaker 1: He said, well, how much you do I charge for?
28:00
Speaker 1: I said, well, on the box right here, says Manufacturradition
28:03
Speaker 1: rep Tales says, he that's how much we charge for.
28:08
Speaker 1: And he says it's my best seller. I said, well,
28:09
Speaker 1: how much does it cost? He says, it costs me
28:11
Speaker 1: two dollars and ninety seven cents and and half of
28:14
Speaker 1: that is the gold packaging and the bottle. And I said,
28:18
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? He said, yeah, that's my margin.
28:21
Speaker 1: I said, that's fantastic. But you know what, here's the deal. Um,
28:25
Speaker 1: I believe in my people that once they get educated
28:28
Speaker 1: about how you how you all are ripping them off here, um,
28:33
Speaker 1: how you all are are literally you know the new
28:36
Speaker 1: snake oil salesman, that they'll they'll they'll they'll read the ingredients,
28:41
Speaker 1: they'll understand that there's healthy there. I'm providing a healthy
28:45
Speaker 1: product at a great price, and they'll buy my product.
28:48
Speaker 1: And so maybe I'm taking the tortoise approach, the long
28:50
Speaker 1: term approach, because listen, me, giving away is a big
28:53
Speaker 1: hit because my margins aren't that high in this In
28:57
Speaker 1: this case, I'm keeping my costs low to let people
29:01
Speaker 1: purchase a product that they deserve to have a healthy
29:05
Speaker 1: alternative at the same price point as the luber dorms
29:09
Speaker 1: and as the other price lie. You know, they don't.
29:11
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have to pay fifty dollars for a conditioner.
29:14
Speaker 1: You know which most organic conditions forty dollars for. You know,
29:18
Speaker 1: here's the You don't have to do that. You can
29:21
Speaker 1: purchase my product Hill Harper dot com, be the architect
29:24

34:32
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. But I will tell you I am
34:34
Speaker 1: flawed though. This is why I have to give you
34:36
Speaker 1: mad respect this time. Because your degree is an engineering correct. Yes,
34:41
Speaker 1: my undergraduate degree, my BS is an electrical engineer, and
34:45
Speaker 1: my master's degree is in Telecommunications and Networking engineer. Now,
34:49
Speaker 1: first of all, you didn't even have to go to
34:51
Speaker 1: the next level. First, of all. You know, you know,
34:53
Speaker 1: see I hate people who extra answer, who answer, hey,
34:57
Speaker 1: I worked hard for that. I worked hard for that.
35:00
Speaker 1: You have to make your folks know, Stephanie, you asked
35:02
Speaker 1: your answering. Okay, I just mentioned my little minor. Okay, okay,
35:06
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show him this way, this way. He asked
35:08
Speaker 1: me with my degree he was on, he was on
35:11
Speaker 1: that bicicle, whether to rotate, whether to rotate? I said,
35:14
Speaker 1: my degree in math or the mind and sociality? Said really, okay,
35:19
Speaker 1: when as we both did on thing, you know, Okay,
35:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why I didn't do my thing
35:25
Speaker 1: because I wanted to have a degree in engineer. But
35:29
Speaker 1: that physics love, and it'll get to that's that's the
35:35
Speaker 1: that's the that's the equalizers. Physics. Girl. I kid, you
35:41
Speaker 1: not change my life. I know, I know it, I
35:46
Speaker 1: know it. I know I can remember. Um, I had
35:48
Speaker 1: to take two semesters or physics, and I can remember
35:52
Speaker 1: that first semester. I said, you know what, I'm gonna
35:55
Speaker 1: get an A in this class if it killed me
35:58
Speaker 1: and everybody around me and my roommate nine we both
36:01
Speaker 1: were taking it at the same time. And I mean
36:04
Speaker 1: I had I ain't never studied so hard in my life.
36:06
Speaker 1: I tell you, it killed me. Okay, it killed me
36:13
Speaker 1: so bad, Stephanie. I have a degree in math and
36:17
Speaker 1: very proud of it. I'm very proud of because what
36:19
Speaker 1: happens is I always tell people, don't force who you
36:23
Speaker 1: are trying to be who you supposed to be. I
36:26
Speaker 1: was never supposed even in high school. My teachers all
36:30
Speaker 1: not always tell me you're just a natural and man.
36:33
Speaker 1: And it wasn't that I got to college gud. I
36:34
Speaker 1: thought I wanted to go here. I remember what I
36:37
Speaker 1: was in civil engineering. Then I went to mechanical engineering,
36:40
Speaker 1: then I went to economics, I went to everything, and
36:42
Speaker 1: then I just came back and went the man. And
36:45
Speaker 1: it was like I just I blew through it so
36:48
Speaker 1: fast it was ridiculous. So so I just knew that
36:51
Speaker 1: I was trying to be something just that I wasn't.
36:54
Speaker 1: And then God allowed me to mature and not drop
36:57
Speaker 1: out because I'm one of those people who see it through.
37:00
Speaker 1: You asked me to start something, I'm gonna see it
37:02
Speaker 1: to the end. And that's why I really respect you
37:04
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate you, and I wanted to just
37:06
Speaker 1: get those conversational moments out about you, because we're gonna
37:10
Speaker 1: play this back on our Heart Radio, my popular podcast,
37:13
Speaker 1: and get this out and send you, uh you know,
37:15
Speaker 1: a version of this interview so you can play it
37:17
Speaker 1: back on your social media. But it's important that still
37:21
Speaker 1: is the difference maker about anything in life. You know,
37:23
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a it's an engender, it's a
37:27
Speaker 1: different maker and racial breakdown. You just gotta put the
37:31
Speaker 1: time in and understand the value. And that's why I
37:34
Speaker 1: wanted to move to the next level. How to prepare
37:37
Speaker 1: yourself for a career in tech? I want to let's
37:40
Speaker 1: get that rolling, and if you wrap that up, we're
37:42
Speaker 1: gonna go to break and then wanta come back and
37:44
Speaker 1: we'll talk some more with my friendly neighborhood tech person.
37:47
Speaker 1: But explain how how how do you prepare yourself for
37:50
Speaker 1: a career in technology? Well, I think you have to
37:54
Speaker 1: really immerse yourself in it. You have to understand that
37:58
Speaker 1: you know, whatever area you us to go into, and
38:01
Speaker 1: especially if it's gonna be technology and coding, you have
38:04
Speaker 1: to do that thing. You know most days. I won't
38:07
Speaker 1: I won't go as far as to say every single day,
38:09
Speaker 1: but you have to do that thing most days, and
38:11
Speaker 1: you need to be a student of it, and you
38:14
Speaker 1: need to understand that you're you may or you may
38:17
Speaker 1: not get it right away. And I think that's where
38:19
Speaker 1: a lot of us um go to the left, because
38:22
Speaker 1: when you don't get those concepts, these are these are
38:25
Speaker 1: complex concepts that you know, can all be broken down
38:28
Speaker 1: into their simplest parts, but at the beginning it might
38:31
Speaker 1: seem like, you know, a huge thing, and if you
38:35
Speaker 1: don't get it right away, that discourages a lot of
38:37
Speaker 1: people right out the gate because they think it's something
38:40
Speaker 1: that's just you know, too hard for them. They're just
38:43
Speaker 1: not smart enough. And it really does just require repetition,
38:48
Speaker 1: you know. That's the beautiful thing about math. Math is
38:50
Speaker 1: always the same too for us. Two is four all
38:52
Speaker 1: around the world, you know, and if it's something else
38:58
Speaker 1: right there. Uh So, it's like the the concepts once,
39:03
Speaker 1: you know, once they're broken down or so simple that
39:07
Speaker 1: you just but you just have to stick with it
39:09
Speaker 1: because it's not gonna be obvious to most people. I mean,
39:12
Speaker 1: you had that that proclivity right out the game, you know,
39:15
Speaker 1: but some of us got to study a little harder.
39:17
Speaker 1: Some of us gotta work a little harder, but in
39:19
Speaker 1: that moment when it clicks, you'll always have it because
39:23
Speaker 1: it's always the same and it's always transferable. So it's like,
39:28
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing I would tell anybody, you
39:31
Speaker 1: know first before anything else. It's just hang in there.
39:34
Speaker 1: We have you know, especially girls. Girls get so frustrated
39:37
Speaker 1: and they get you know, they think maybe it's just
39:40
Speaker 1: not for me, maybe this is something only the boys
39:42
Speaker 1: can do or or whatever. So just hang in there
39:47
Speaker 1: and stick with it, and it will click. It will
39:50
Speaker 1: eventually click, but you gotta do the work that's important.
39:53
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more friendly neighborhood tech expert.
39:57
Speaker 1: That's my girl, Stephanie Humphrey. Don't go nowhere. We're on
40:01
Speaker 1: a roll now. I got a personality way up here.
40:04
Speaker 1: She's swinging through buildings. No she's not. She's a tech expert.
40:07
Speaker 1: She doesn't need to swing through building. She just serves
40:09
Speaker 1: through all the buildings. Did you to leave with that?
40:12
Speaker 1: Cool right there, Stephanie, be right back. We're back. Step there,
40:28
Speaker 1: you're back. I'm back. Come on, you didn't go nowhere?
40:31
Speaker 1: Did you come on? Now? Thank you very much? Tell
40:36
Speaker 1: us before we get started, tell us a little bit
40:38
Speaker 1: about your goals with this whole tech expert because of
40:43
Speaker 1: the fact that technology is not going in and where.
40:45
Speaker 1: You know, when when the iPhone came out eight years ago,
40:48
Speaker 1: it changed everybody's life. You know, I was growing up.
40:50
Speaker 1: We had to Dick Tracy phone and we all thought
40:52
Speaker 1: that was a joke and not reality, you know what
40:55
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So so, but now it's kind of affects
40:58
Speaker 1: us us in a lot of ways because it's infect
41:00
Speaker 1: It affects the way we treat our employees because you
41:02
Speaker 1: can send a text off hours or you're sending an
41:05
Speaker 1: email off hours, and sometimes you, as an employee, don't
41:09
Speaker 1: know who should you respond. We're always connected, that's the
41:12
Speaker 1: thing when everybody is all because of technology today, we
41:16
Speaker 1: are all always connected. But even with that capability, you know,
41:22
Speaker 1: I I am always surprised at you know how anxious
41:27
Speaker 1: technology makes people. You know, if you're not that person
41:30
Speaker 1: that just loves it and then you're gonna stayd in
41:32
Speaker 1: line overnight for the new iPhone, you know. There you're
41:35
Speaker 1: usually pretty anxious about the changes that are coming because
41:38
Speaker 1: they're coming so quickly. Every day is something new every day,
41:41
Speaker 1: it's a new app, every day. It's a new social
41:43
Speaker 1: network every day, you know, it's it's something new. So
41:46
Speaker 1: most people, most of the people I talk to, are
41:48
Speaker 1: very anxious about what technology actually is, what it can do.
41:53
Speaker 1: They're worried about their privacy, They're worried about security. You know,
41:57
Speaker 1: Equifax just got hacked, and and happy and read information
42:00
Speaker 1: is out there in the in the in the cloud
42:02
Speaker 1: right now. So you know what I want to do
42:05
Speaker 1: ultimately and what I tell people that I do when
42:07
Speaker 1: they when I say I'm a techn life exper and
42:09
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, what is that. I just show people
42:11
Speaker 1: how technology makes your life easier. That that is literally
42:14
Speaker 1: all I do and I and I want to do that,
42:17
Speaker 1: uh on the on the biggest platform that I can.
42:20
Speaker 1: You know, I want to reach as many people as
42:22
Speaker 1: I can. I just want to help people understand that
42:25
Speaker 1: it's not something that you necessarily need to fear. You know,
42:29
Speaker 1: they're you know, there are AI and robot things happening,
42:33
Speaker 1: you know behind curtains that that we may have to
42:36
Speaker 1: concern ourselves with coming up going down the line. But
42:39
Speaker 1: but for the average person on an everyday basis, you know,
42:42
Speaker 1: technology is here for you. You know, it's here to
42:45
Speaker 1: to you know, make your life more efficient, to give
42:49
Speaker 1: you some of your time back, to save you some money,
42:52
Speaker 1: you know, all of these different things. So I just
42:54
Speaker 1: want to help people understand how it can do that. Well,
42:57
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really ready to hop into a driverless car.
43:00
Speaker 1: I'm really ready now, you know. I mean I'm emotionally
43:04
Speaker 1: ready for that, you know, So just pull up up,
43:09
Speaker 1: I just sit in and just take off. I'm ready
43:11
Speaker 1: for that. I can actually see that happening. You know,
43:14
Speaker 1: they got cars they parked themselves. Oh no, it's definitely
43:17
Speaker 1: happening already. There are cars on the road in Las Vegas.
43:20
Speaker 1: There are cards self driving cars on the road in Pittsburgh.
43:23
Speaker 1: There are a couple of cities that have been test
43:25
Speaker 1: market for this technology for for quite some time now,
43:28
Speaker 1: so they're already out there. Actually, I don't know if
43:32
Speaker 1: if we're ready to all just hop in the backseats
43:35
Speaker 1: of cars with with no one driving them. Um. I
43:38
Speaker 1: think I think that technology still has a little bit,
43:41
Speaker 1: a little bit more ways to go, but it's coming.
43:43
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see it for public transportation first.
43:47
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see self driving buses before we
43:50
Speaker 1: see self driving cars, like before we see individuals just
43:53
Speaker 1: in cars that drive themselves. I think we'll see I'll
43:57
Speaker 1: just tell them about slowly down on there on the
43:59
Speaker 1: self driving and buses. See, I can't be in a
44:02
Speaker 1: bus with a bunch of crazy people and nobody driving.
44:05
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry. They're gonna make me nervous there. I
44:08
Speaker 1: gotta slow you down sometimes because see I was talking
44:11
Speaker 1: about being in a car by myself. You know what
44:14
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't have nobody screaming, ain't got no babies,
44:17
Speaker 1: ain't nobody hitting the wrong stop at the wrong time stop.
44:21
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I've been on the bus
44:22
Speaker 1: like that. I'm thinking. I know I've come from the neighborhood.
44:25
Speaker 1: I wrote the bus. I wrote this to you know,
44:29
Speaker 1: on that bus, and some people that shouldn't be on
44:31
Speaker 1: the bus with you. You know that people shouldn't right
44:34
Speaker 1: and shouldn't be sitting next to you. I've had some
44:36
Speaker 1: people sitting next to me and I actually had to
44:38
Speaker 1: get up. But I also had people sitting next to me.
44:41
Speaker 1: I was nervous about getting up because the causequences of
44:44
Speaker 1: their reaction to me getting up they sitting down. Okay,
44:48
Speaker 1: I might have to ride this. We had to work.
44:50
Speaker 1: We had to work. The kicks out technology for the
44:54
Speaker 1: self driving buses will be here, suitor rather than later.
44:58
Speaker 1: It's really great. Now you made a statement. You're saying
45:00
Speaker 1: that the technology, uh makes our life better. Explain that.
45:05
Speaker 1: Explain that to me. I believe it does. I mean,
45:08
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting here on a on a computer
45:11
Speaker 1: that I can hold in my hand, talking to you
45:13
Speaker 1: right now. You know this, This wasn't possible ten years ago.
45:16
Speaker 1: And and I'm actually while I'm doing that, I'm watching you.
45:19
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you and your lovely suit and your
45:21
Speaker 1: blue shirt, you know, broadcasting this across the social network
45:25
Speaker 1: that has two billion, three billion users off me, so
45:29
Speaker 1: you know it. This is what I mean. It connects
45:31
Speaker 1: us all. It kind of shrinks the world a little bit.
45:34
Speaker 1: It makes everybody a global citizen, you know. And again
45:38
Speaker 1: it can save you money. You can download apps that
45:41
Speaker 1: you know have coupons and and and can find you
45:43
Speaker 1: discount and different stuff like that, and and and it
45:47
Speaker 1: just it gives you your time back as well. I
45:49
Speaker 1: have an Apple in my fife. I can remember, um,
45:51
Speaker 1: a couple of years back when I first started doing
45:54
Speaker 1: tech on television, I talked about this app called Hearing
45:57
Speaker 1: Reward and what it does is and there are a
46:00
Speaker 1: lot of apps out there now like it at this point,
46:02
Speaker 1: But at that time, you know, I used to have
46:04
Speaker 1: this little wallet, a separate little wallet that all of
46:07
Speaker 1: my Plastic Rewards cards were in. I had. I had
46:11
Speaker 1: so many, you know, for the gym, and for every
46:13
Speaker 1: different grocery store that I went into, and for you know,
46:16
Speaker 1: Altra and and all these different things that you get
46:18
Speaker 1: these discounts when you let them scan these little pieces
46:20
Speaker 1: of plastic. I had a separate wallet for that that
46:23
Speaker 1: I would have to dig out of my purse and
46:26
Speaker 1: find that particular card for that particular store to get
46:29
Speaker 1: that discount. And when I discovered this app that you
46:32
Speaker 1: can scan all of those cards into the app and
46:36
Speaker 1: then let them stand your phone, you know what I mean,
46:39
Speaker 1: Like something like that. It's it sounds small and it
46:42
Speaker 1: seems like not that big a deal, but that's life changing.
46:47
Speaker 1: That is quite literally life changing. Now that you don't
46:49
Speaker 1: have to have MAD because I didn't know about that,
46:52
Speaker 1: I'm and you'll be taking all of you you've got,
46:58
Speaker 1: all the more plastic things go on. You'll keep ring
47:00
Speaker 1: looking like a janitor and try to find the right one,
47:04
Speaker 1: and all you need is your fault. I eat. You're
47:09
Speaker 1: not supposed to go here. Now your conversation is not
47:12
Speaker 1: supposed to make me mad. This conversation, it's not. It's
47:15
Speaker 1: that matters. So that you're happy because now you now
47:17
Speaker 1: you've found a way to get some of your time back,
47:21
Speaker 1: but you're not searching for that little police of plastic
47:24
Speaker 1: that you've had. You left it at home the day
47:27
Speaker 1: so you got all this stuff in your card and
47:29
Speaker 1: you can't save the five percent. You know. It's it's
47:31
Speaker 1: just it's too much. It's too much. So if so
47:34
Speaker 1: whatever we can use technology for to make things go
47:38
Speaker 1: a little bit smoother for us, I'm going for it. Now.
47:42
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about a couple of things I want
47:44
Speaker 1: to talk about. Was the cybersecurity, which is which is
47:48
Speaker 1: you know, not having a patchword one, two, three four
47:53
Speaker 1: right right? Or your birthday or you know your mama's
47:57
Speaker 1: your mama's middle name. You know what I'm saying. You
48:02
Speaker 1: know because it's because you know and not and not
48:05
Speaker 1: being so familiar that people can because you know, if
48:07
Speaker 1: you if somebody gets access to your email address and
48:11
Speaker 1: they know your favorite color, your favorite food, your favorite dog,
48:16
Speaker 1: your best friend. These are these are typical what's city
48:18
Speaker 1: you was born in. They can actually crack into your
48:21
Speaker 1: cyber world. Absolutely, it's not hard to do. It's and
48:25
Speaker 1: and and unfortunately, you know, human nature being what it is,
48:29
Speaker 1: we usually give up that information ourselves. You know, you
48:32
Speaker 1: can somebody can send you an email and it can
48:35
Speaker 1: look very very close to what email that your bank
48:39
Speaker 1: might send you with with one little letter off or
48:43
Speaker 1: one word you know different, or maybe the colors aren't
48:47
Speaker 1: exactly the same in the logo, but you're not paying
48:49
Speaker 1: attention to that, and you don't set these people your
48:51
Speaker 1: account number. You know, most of the hacks that happened,
48:54
Speaker 1: even the major hacks, happened through what's called social engineering.
48:59
Speaker 1: You know, these are just well trying different things with
49:02
Speaker 1: other people, trying to get them to give up some information,
49:06
Speaker 1: you know, and and they'll say, you know, um, we
49:09
Speaker 1: think there's something there's something happening with your account. Can
49:11
Speaker 1: you can you give us, you know, to reply with
49:14
Speaker 1: your social Security number or reply with your account numbers
49:17
Speaker 1: so we can make sure. And you know, companies will
49:19
Speaker 1: never ever do that. They will never call you and
49:23
Speaker 1: ask you to give that type of information on the phone.
49:25
Speaker 1: They will never email you and ask for you to
49:27
Speaker 1: give that type of information over your phone. So we unfortunately,
49:30
Speaker 1: you know, do a lot of this to ourselves. Um
49:33
Speaker 1: So it's always you know, incumbent upon us to, like
49:37
Speaker 1: you said, make sure those passwords are are lockdown. Do
49:40
Speaker 1: the password manager. I use last pass exactly. You know,
49:45
Speaker 1: let let that generate the password for you and log
49:48
Speaker 1: into your stuff for you so you don't have to
49:49
Speaker 1: keep remembering to change it and and coming up with
49:51
Speaker 1: you know, strong passwords. So you know, there's a lot
49:54
Speaker 1: we can do ourselves, uh to to keep ourselves more
49:58
Speaker 1: secure online. And and it just start with, you know,
50:00
Speaker 1: honestly a little bit of common sense. Well guess what,
50:04
Speaker 1: we all don't have commonsense, Rashan McDonald don't have commonsention.
50:07
Speaker 1: So I have to extend myself because I have. I'm
50:10
Speaker 1: something I've done the one, two or three four before. Okay,
50:13
Speaker 1: I've had my I had my address on my on
50:16
Speaker 1: my on my checking account, I've had my identity stolen.
50:21
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna just tell you this. I have to
50:27
Speaker 1: tell people this because see, people think that certain people
50:31
Speaker 1: don't don't don't qualify for crimes, so don't qualify for
50:34

54:20
Speaker 1: let's let's let's have fun. Because I'm I'm from New
54:22
Speaker 1: York City. I lived there. I'm not saying from I've
54:25
Speaker 1: lived there many years. I'm really from Houston, Texas. But
54:27
Speaker 1: I lived on the Upper east Side eight six and
54:29
Speaker 1: first I lived in come on now. Then I lived
54:33
Speaker 1: there thirty ninth and first. I always stayed on the
54:36
Speaker 1: East Side. And so I love New York. It was
54:38
Speaker 1: an experience, but it's also a place where is so
54:42
Speaker 1: a land of opportunities, and it's just so many people.
54:45
Speaker 1: And and here I see you. I read read your resume,
54:49
Speaker 1: and you from little old Flint, Michigan, Michigan. I'm so
54:53
Speaker 1: thankful to be a girlfrid Michigan. And she had been
54:57
Speaker 1: in business for nineteen years in the biggest city on
55:01
Speaker 1: the most sensive street in America. I know. But see,
55:05
Speaker 1: I can't let you just let that slide. Can see
55:07
Speaker 1: a lot of people haven't been up to New York.
55:09
Speaker 1: I know exactly where you at fifty seventh Street, because
55:12
Speaker 1: I stayed at the London Hotel down there on the
55:15
Speaker 1: other end, on the west side, so I know exactly
55:18
Speaker 1: where you at. So so you said, N eighteen years. Okay,
55:22
Speaker 1: N eighteen years, how do be could we have two
55:25
Speaker 1: nice breaks? So I'm gonna slow it down because I
55:27
Speaker 1: want to know your journey because you know you you
55:30
Speaker 1: you come from Flint. And guess what. Flint is a
55:33
Speaker 1: town that's been ravaged because of the fact that the
55:36
Speaker 1: car industry moved away. And we all know what happened
55:39
Speaker 1: recently with Flint history, but that was way before your time,
55:43
Speaker 1: right after your time. So how do you take that energy?
55:47
Speaker 1: And you, you know you're talking about we're talking about
55:49
Speaker 1: on a city block, can be as many people in Flint,
55:53
Speaker 1: Michigan on a given day in New York City. So
55:56
Speaker 1: tell me how did you overcome that? I can. I
56:00
Speaker 1: can do it here. I can make it here because
56:02
Speaker 1: that stops a lot of people. I know, you know
56:06
Speaker 1: just I. It all starts with passion. I have wanted
56:10
Speaker 1: to be a dentist at the age of fifteen years old.
56:14
Speaker 1: Industry changed my life. And when I got bracest and
56:20
Speaker 1: realized the power, the power of a smile, it just
56:24
Speaker 1: changed my life. And so I wanted to be a dentist.
56:26
Speaker 1: I didn't have to sign my journey. I just went
56:30
Speaker 1: for it, despite not having a family with a lot
56:33
Speaker 1: of money. My entire family was the general motors. But
56:36
Speaker 1: it was something to me that said I had to
56:38
Speaker 1: be a dentist because I wanted to change the world
56:41
Speaker 1: by changing someone else's smile, like my smile was changed. UM.
56:45
Speaker 1: I went to University of Michigan undergrad plange a k A.
56:48
Speaker 1: Go blue hey behind ya, don't pass by dot and
56:59
Speaker 1: go to the university there Maryland, where I had a
57:01
Speaker 1: lot of support as a young dental student that was
57:04
Speaker 1: African Americans. They prided them sales or graduating a lot
57:08
Speaker 1: of black dentists. And when when it was time to
57:11
Speaker 1: practice my UH dentistry, I said, let me go to
57:14
Speaker 1: the big city. Let me go to New York just
57:17
Speaker 1: for a year to test it out. And when I
57:19
Speaker 1: got here in nineties six, hip hop was popped in,
57:23
Speaker 1: comedy was popped in UH. There was a lot of
57:26
Speaker 1: opportunities and at the time, in nineties ninety eight, there
57:30
Speaker 1: weren't anybody that there weren't other dentirets that looked like me.
57:34
Speaker 1: So people are like w you're black, you're female, you're
57:38
Speaker 1: in your twenties, like, don't go back to Michigan, don't
57:40
Speaker 1: go back to Baltimore. Stay here because we'll support you.
57:44
Speaker 1: And I didn't know. I didn't not have any money
57:46
Speaker 1: at all. I was probably a hundred thousand dollars in debt.
57:50
Speaker 1: But I knew that that I wanted to stay here
57:53
Speaker 1: because I felt comfortable and I loved music. I love entertainment,
57:57
Speaker 1: I always have. So I thought that I would marry
58:00
Speaker 1: the two my love for entertainment and my love for dentistry.
58:04
Speaker 1: And I started hanging out at this comedy club called
58:07
Speaker 1: the Boston Comedy Club, Comedy Downtown in the village. Come underground,
58:14
Speaker 1: go downstairs, downstairs exactly, Okay, I know you're talking about. Yes,
58:20
Speaker 1: So I used to go there because I didn't have
58:22
Speaker 1: money for five dollars every Sunday talent will. And then
58:26
Speaker 1: you meet a young Mike Epps, a young Kevin Hurt
58:29
Speaker 1: who was just starting out, a young Morgan, and these
58:32
Speaker 1: people became my friends. So I'm like, Oprah, I have
58:35
Speaker 1: a moment. I'm about to be the business to the starver.
58:39
Speaker 1: I don't really have a office yet, but I put
58:42
Speaker 1: it on the business start and then I am the
58:44
Speaker 1: business to the size. And when I interrupted the dinner
58:47
Speaker 1: of one I time. His name was Isaac Cay and
58:51
Speaker 1: Puffy's restaurant, and I told him that I was a dentist.
58:54
Speaker 1: I interrupted his dis His general said, I'm a dentist.
58:58
Speaker 1: If you don't have anybody to work on you and
59:00
Speaker 1: be your dentist, I would love to be your dentist.
59:02
Speaker 1: And he looked at me and he told me to
59:04
Speaker 1: sit down and have dinner with him. And that was
59:07
Speaker 1: the best move ever. He became my first celebrity client
59:11
Speaker 1: and I took off from there. He gave me his
59:14
Speaker 1: mailing list, he took me to the Grammys, to the
59:16
Speaker 1: I Could Poke, a Black Film Festival, started introducing me
59:19
Speaker 1: to people, and when I found the space on fifty
59:22
Speaker 1: seven Street and it all just came together. Well, I
59:26
Speaker 1: think I love about your story is secondly is that you.
59:31
Speaker 1: It's something about the word dentists that they they're supposed
59:34
Speaker 1: to look a certain way. Okay, we sposed address a
59:37
Speaker 1: certain way, and they're supposed to I wants used the
59:40
Speaker 1: word act, but you know, but you you you are
59:44
Speaker 1: just a regular person. And that's what I think threw
59:46
Speaker 1: everybody off, you know. You know then it's not supposed
59:50
Speaker 1: to be a member of a sorority. You know what
59:51
Speaker 1: I'm saying that it's not supposed to be African America.
59:53
Speaker 1: That's what you don't see on TV, That's what you
59:55
Speaker 1: don't traditional value. So so I feel you used that
1:00:00
Speaker 1: to your advantage, that unique and that that that's why everybody,
1:00:04
Speaker 1: you know, you immediately got everybody's a tick you when
1:00:06
Speaker 1: you told him you was a dentist. Huh exactly. And
1:00:10
Speaker 1: at the time, like I didn't look out, I probably
1:00:14
Speaker 1: look like I was still look young man, you look great, right,
1:00:19
Speaker 1: thank you. When so when Isaac saw me and I'm
1:00:23
Speaker 1: interrupting his dinner talking about I'm a dentist, he was like,
1:00:25
Speaker 1: I gotta and understand who this lady is. He tried
1:00:29
Speaker 1: to calculate years, you know, he trying to go, Okay,
1:00:31
Speaker 1: you gotta go four years and then another four years
1:00:34
Speaker 1: to get your teeth approved. Okay, where is she? What
1:00:38
Speaker 1: is this this? What is this young woman to apply? Because
1:00:41
Speaker 1: she you know, when you when you when you're ask me,
1:00:43
Speaker 1: because I asked people to sit down to when they
1:00:44
Speaker 1: when they come to me with incredible stories, I go, Okay,
1:00:47
Speaker 1: what you're not gonna do is trick me out. Okay,
1:00:50
Speaker 1: just pass this car and walk off like I'm some
1:00:52
Speaker 1: Willie Foo food. And so so that was important that
1:00:55
Speaker 1: you did that because that allowed you to align yourself
1:00:58
Speaker 1: with what, guess what a leg a legend. You know,
1:01:03
Speaker 1: that makes me an hour to make the decision to
1:01:06
Speaker 1: interest his dinner. But for me, even to this day,
1:01:09
Speaker 1: people are people and everybody needs a dentist. Everybody has tea.
1:01:13
Speaker 1: So you never know who will need your services. You
1:01:17
Speaker 1: never know who will get that opportunity. I was just
1:01:19
Speaker 1: taking a chance and I took the courage to to
1:01:23
Speaker 1: go up to him and it worked. Okay, let's let's
1:01:26
Speaker 1: let's talk about a couple of awards as you've gotten here,
1:01:29
Speaker 1: because I think it's important because you know you can
1:01:32
Speaker 1: do Once you start hanging out with celebrities are doing,
1:01:35
Speaker 1: you can get caught up in that hype. You know,
1:01:37
Speaker 1: did you just you know you're not really that good?
1:01:39
Speaker 1: Usually great relationships. Well in you were voted top twenty
1:01:44
Speaker 1: five women in Dentistry list. Yes, yes, such a great honor. Um.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: I you know, for me, I always try to think
1:01:55
Speaker 1: outside to box so and be a trailblazers. So over
1:01:59
Speaker 1: my you is. I became the first person to incorporate
1:02:03
Speaker 1: HIV testing in my gentle office. So when you come
1:02:06
Speaker 1: for just routine checkup and cleaning, you get that swath
1:02:09
Speaker 1: in your mouth, walk out and know your results. I
1:02:12
Speaker 1: have right now working with getting the information about the
1:02:17
Speaker 1: connection between diabetes and oral health because diabetics is actually
1:02:21
Speaker 1: this much as National Diabetes funth um fin us with
1:02:24
Speaker 1: up my next book on the relationship and the important
1:02:27
Speaker 1: links between diabetes and oral health. So I'm always out
1:02:31
Speaker 1: there really trying to find different ways to elevate my
1:02:35
Speaker 1: career and elevate the people's knowledge. Just like Hill Harper
1:02:39
Speaker 1: was on talking about carcinogens and our product. We we
1:02:43
Speaker 1: have to educate our people. So I always try to
1:02:47
Speaker 1: be a leader and be on top of the game
1:02:49
Speaker 1: and just bring you guys to information because health is wealth,
1:02:53
Speaker 1: and without your health you have nothing else. You can't
1:02:56
Speaker 1: go to work, you can't take care of the kids,
1:02:58
Speaker 1: you can't do all of those things. And the mouth
1:03:00
Speaker 1: gets overlooked a lot. So that's my journey. I'm gonna
1:03:04
Speaker 1: keep pounding at it. I hope to get more awards
1:03:06
Speaker 1: and the award worthy because I'm in this to be
1:03:09
Speaker 1: like the doctor Odds of Dentistry. Come on now, doctor
1:03:14
Speaker 1: os on TV? Now does that mean you on TV?
1:03:18
Speaker 1: You need to see my face on TV? Back you go.
1:03:23
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it because guess what. You
1:03:26
Speaker 1: have the cash you have to you know you you
1:03:28
Speaker 1: know joke, you got the awards, you have to clienteles.
1:03:31
Speaker 1: That's the next step for you. Because I'm gonna tell
1:03:33
Speaker 1: you something and you know this, you know this, and
1:03:35
Speaker 1: then you know you have a you're an attractive young lady. Okay,
1:03:39
Speaker 1: you have a personality. Okay, we know you got good teeth. Okay,
1:03:43
Speaker 1: we know that got good teach. People talk about my
1:03:46
Speaker 1: gap like I'm not you know, like I'm imperfect. But okay,
1:03:50
Speaker 1: now Michael straighthand okay, we can just stop talking. Okay,
1:03:54
Speaker 1: Michael straighthand making a lot of money and that's part
1:03:57
Speaker 1: of his logo. Now that's part of his brain now,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: that gap. So and because because you can't allow what
1:04:03
Speaker 1: other people per seve as flaws. You know, don't don't look,
1:04:06
Speaker 1: you know, people consider being black and flaw. You know
1:04:09
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And you just gotta be in a
1:04:11
Speaker 1: position to understand and value yourself and make yourself worthy worthy.
1:04:18
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about your story because of
1:04:21
Speaker 1: the fact that Flip Michigan didn't stop you. Coming home
1:04:25
Speaker 1: to New York with a hundred thousand dollars in debt,
1:04:27
Speaker 1: didn't stop you walking up to strangers selling yourself, didn't
1:04:31
Speaker 1: stop you. You have the courage. What do I say?
1:04:35
Speaker 1: How do I start this conversation? What if he tells me?
1:04:38
Speaker 1: Know what if I get embarrassed? All those all those
1:04:41
Speaker 1: doors you walk through and you continue to walk through.
1:04:45
Speaker 1: And that's why it's important you know that you're a spokesperson,
1:04:49
Speaker 1: a brand spokeperson for Covie. These look I gotta I
1:04:53
Speaker 1: gotta put that out there when I'm talking to you,
1:04:55
Speaker 1: because I gotta let people know there's people are like Colgate.
1:04:59
Speaker 1: Don't tie them else too, rudy poop. Let's gonna use
1:05:02
Speaker 1: the word rudy poop. Okay, they tied themselves to people
1:05:08
Speaker 1: who are identified and game changers, decision makers and create engagement,
1:05:13
Speaker 1: and that is what you do. We're gonna be right
1:05:15
Speaker 1: back for more from the here. Okay, she's the dentist
1:05:18
Speaker 1: of the stars. Okay, that's gonna be the chill big

1:06:05
Speaker 1: I got that Doctor Turner from cool. Accept my apologize
1:06:09
Speaker 1: because I said Dr Turner. I went off the air too.
1:06:11
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Dr Austin. Um, let's let's talk about you,
1:06:17
Speaker 1: you know, in your career and what you're trying to do.
1:06:19
Speaker 1: You know, first of all, your inspiration to women, let's
1:06:22
Speaker 1: don't get that out the way. Your inspiration to your sorority,
1:06:26
Speaker 1: let's get that out of the way. So what what
1:06:29
Speaker 1: when you when you when you're an inspiration or motivating
1:06:31
Speaker 1: figure or mentor how does that allow you to be
1:06:35
Speaker 1: who you are? And then and then it's then they
1:06:38
Speaker 1: represent the brand that you built. You know, I try
1:06:48
Speaker 1: to be as authentic as as possible, Um, because I
1:06:55
Speaker 1: have competitors that project themselves that they are, you know,
1:06:59
Speaker 1: this certain level, and they only fly private, I projected.
1:07:04
Speaker 1: I am I am Katris Austin, just regular person, but
1:07:09
Speaker 1: I have a message in a service to get to you. Um.
1:07:13
Speaker 1: So the best thing that I can do for anybody
1:07:15
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to help as a mentor is just
1:07:18
Speaker 1: to be as authentic as possible, because that's aught like, oh,
1:07:22
Speaker 1: I can't I don't even know how to be fair
1:07:24
Speaker 1: uh um um. And I I just recently spoke at
1:07:29
Speaker 1: Savannah State University to uh some pre dental students, and
1:07:34
Speaker 1: I realized that there are so many people. It's the
1:07:37
Speaker 1: students that have goals and they don't have the answers
1:07:41
Speaker 1: that I have to. Like, my humission right now is
1:07:45
Speaker 1: to pull more up because I'm getting old. You know,
1:07:48
Speaker 1: I don't getting older and I'm not gonna be one
1:07:50
Speaker 1: of those distances eighty years old still going to the
1:07:53
Speaker 1: office because I need. I need to pull more people up.
1:07:57
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to make fig that I'm healthy, that
1:08:00
Speaker 1: I say abreast of what's new so I can pass
1:08:03
Speaker 1: it on and have the next Queen of Smiles, Kings
1:08:06
Speaker 1: of Smiles or whatever h they brand themselves to be
1:08:10
Speaker 1: in the industry, so that I'm not the last one. Well,
1:08:14
Speaker 1: that's important to say that though. That's important to say
1:08:16
Speaker 1: that because of the fact that you create your legacy.
1:08:18
Speaker 1: Now your legacy and you and your journey, and a
1:08:21
Speaker 1: lot of people understand how important that is it is. Um.
1:08:26
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey says something like on Oprah, he wont his
1:08:30
Speaker 1: grandchildren's grandchildren to know his name, and I want that
1:08:34
Speaker 1: same thing. I want everybody to know something about Katrise
1:08:39
Speaker 1: Austin and what she did for the dental industry. And
1:08:42
Speaker 1: still during the day. Let me ask you this. A
1:08:44
Speaker 1: couple of things that are real popular now. Teeth whitening,
1:08:48
Speaker 1: oh number one, number one requested cosnetic enhancement procedure in
1:08:53
Speaker 1: my office. Very easy to do. Um it is generally
1:08:59
Speaker 1: safe as long as you don't have gum disease and cavities. Um.
1:09:03
Speaker 1: It's done in as quickly as an hour in our office.
1:09:07
Speaker 1: Um Uh. You can get up to six to eight
1:09:10
Speaker 1: shades whider. So you can literally do this on your
1:09:13
Speaker 1: lunch period. I tell you one hour and you will
1:09:19
Speaker 1: walk out the door with wider teeth. Um. Now. I
1:09:22
Speaker 1: talked about this in my book called Get Smiled, which
1:09:25
Speaker 1: is on Amazon. Not everybody is a candidate for a whitening.
1:09:30
Speaker 1: So I highly recommend that you go in and get
1:09:32
Speaker 1: a consultation and the teeth whitening analysis to make sure
1:09:35
Speaker 1: your teeth will take to the whitening process. What do
1:09:38
Speaker 1: you mean when you say that? What do you mean
1:09:39
Speaker 1: with you? I don't want to give one of your book,
1:09:41
Speaker 1: But what do you mean when you say that? Um? No, no,
1:09:44
Speaker 1: So there's certain colors of teeth. Not if your teeth
1:09:46
Speaker 1: have a grayish tone to us, a dark brown tone
1:09:51
Speaker 1: to it, it's not gonna really whiten to the whitest potential.
1:09:56
Speaker 1: It's their teeth are pure yellow color or off white color.
1:10:01
Speaker 1: Then those they're the teeth that are most likely to
1:10:04
Speaker 1: get very very bright. So sometimes people get mad, they
1:10:07
Speaker 1: do whitening and then you don't see very much results
1:10:10
Speaker 1: because your teeth were not the best type of candidate
1:10:13
Speaker 1: for whitening. But you can't tell them that. Though you
1:10:16
Speaker 1: can't tell them that, oh well they I can't. I
1:10:20
Speaker 1: would have to do is tell you the truth where
1:10:24
Speaker 1: whitening doesn't work. That's where you get the porcels veneers,
1:10:28
Speaker 1: which is what all the celebrities get because you're actually
1:10:30
Speaker 1: placing coorsemen over the front of the teeth, and that
1:10:33
Speaker 1: can map those darker stains and you can really get
1:10:37
Speaker 1: the whitest of the whitest teeth. As you see some
1:10:40
Speaker 1: of the celebrities go over the top with it, I know,
1:10:44
Speaker 1: yeah too white white. I'm not gonna call out no names,
1:10:48
Speaker 1: but I'll be going like because I know him. You know, dude, yeah,
1:10:52
Speaker 1: your teeth are really white. Now, if you got an
1:10:56
Speaker 1: album coming out, a movie coming out, and you need
1:10:59
Speaker 1: your teeth to be right, then it's okay. But for
1:11:02
Speaker 1: the average person that comes to my office, I try
1:11:05
Speaker 1: to guide you on western was natural, and that's what
1:11:08
Speaker 1: I pride myself on as a cosmetic dentistry vent. I
1:11:12
Speaker 1: want your teeth to look natural when we do the
1:11:14
Speaker 1: cosmetic dentistry. Otherwise it's not cosmetic. No, let me ask
1:11:18
Speaker 1: you this. Because it's so popular. I hear commercials now
1:11:21
Speaker 1: on the radio. Now encourage people, come on in, get you,
1:11:24
Speaker 1: we got the we got we put the bling on
1:11:26
Speaker 1: your on your teeth, now make them white, bling, bling,
1:11:29
Speaker 1: bling it and so so everything kind of happens like that,
1:11:33
Speaker 1: you know, get everything gets in rhythm. You know. It's like,
1:11:35
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. When I was growing up, boy,
1:11:37
Speaker 1: having a gold front teeth tooth boy, that was with
1:11:42
Speaker 1: a star on it. That was the that was the
1:11:44
Speaker 1: that was the thing. That gold back tooth or something
1:11:47
Speaker 1: like that, or gold feeling. That was the craze. Now
1:11:51
Speaker 1: the craze is white teeth. What did the system change
1:11:57
Speaker 1: or did the new new, new new chemicals came out
1:12:00
Speaker 1: they were friendly. What made this sudden search for to
1:12:03
Speaker 1: be able to be promote and start branding that you
1:12:05
Speaker 1: can make people's teeth wider and an affordable time frame? Well,
1:12:10
Speaker 1: I think that um people realize that your teeth age
1:12:14
Speaker 1: as you age is one of the easiest things that
1:12:17
Speaker 1: you can do to make yourself look younger. So everybody's
1:12:21
Speaker 1: certainly searching for that fountain of youth and having the
1:12:24
Speaker 1: wider smile is one of the quickest things that you
1:12:27
Speaker 1: could do to make your make your facial appearance with
1:12:31
Speaker 1: brighter and youthful. Yeah, and so now people are realizing
1:12:38
Speaker 1: the power of a smile can help you move on
1:12:41
Speaker 1: in your career and get promotion to you know, people,
1:12:45
Speaker 1: one of the first things that people will notice about you,
1:12:47
Speaker 1: it's you smile. Especially with the internet and profile pictures,
1:12:51
Speaker 1: you're getting judged on your appearance, and your smile has
1:12:54
Speaker 1: a big, big, big thing that you do with that.
1:12:58
Speaker 1: So now people are paying more our attention on the smile.
1:13:02
Speaker 1: And uh so this last year has been incredible because
1:13:05
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to change the smile of the
1:13:07
Speaker 1: how to stick in the game. Cardi B. Sirens going off.
1:13:16
Speaker 1: I think you're just bragging. You're just bragging. Did you did?
1:13:19
Speaker 1: You are the true dentist to the star. You got
1:13:21
Speaker 1: them young and old. You know what I'm saying. The
1:13:24
Speaker 1: thing about her is her her story was so incredible
1:13:28
Speaker 1: because you we all have all witnessed her transformation from
1:13:32
Speaker 1: being a reality star to a list on the cover
1:13:36
Speaker 1: of Rolling Song, and I would see that smile was
1:13:40
Speaker 1: a big part of her transformation. Um So they about
1:13:44
Speaker 1: to say, you don't have to be a star. You
1:13:46
Speaker 1: can do little things like teeth writening your too. So
1:13:51
Speaker 1: let's let's name of a couple of more another couple
1:13:53
Speaker 1: of a a lot of your stars you have on your roster.
1:13:56
Speaker 1: Anthony Anderson, d J colleague, Yeah, common we just talked
1:14:03
Speaker 1: about Cardi B. You just talked about her. Um buster rhymes,
1:14:09
Speaker 1: no buster JB smooth, Karina smelled off. Wendy Williams know
1:14:16
Speaker 1: her car banks Now because you have so many celebrities,
1:14:22
Speaker 1: how does that work when they come to your offer?
1:14:25
Speaker 1: Do you have a side door, back door, escape door?
1:14:28
Speaker 1: Because you know these people bring a crowd with them.
1:14:31
Speaker 1: You know they can walk in your office. Is somebody
1:14:33
Speaker 1: his social media and it's and it's a crowd waiting
1:14:35
Speaker 1: now when they walk out the door. How does how
1:14:37
Speaker 1: do you protect your client, your celebrity clients and also
1:14:40
Speaker 1: protect your everyday clients because you don't want to feel
1:14:43
Speaker 1: like they feel like they secondary or they feel they
1:14:45
Speaker 1: gotta wait of a celebrity walking, they got to go
1:14:47
Speaker 1: back to the back of the line. That's a balance
1:14:49
Speaker 1: in act for you. Correct it is um you know,
1:14:53
Speaker 1: I customize it to the patient's preference. Somebody like Anthony Anderson,
1:14:59
Speaker 1: uh In, philp Cardi b will walk in common. They
1:15:02
Speaker 1: don't care. They are just so regular that they come
1:15:05
Speaker 1: during normal business hours and they talk with the people
1:15:09
Speaker 1: if they feel like talking, and they don't mind coming
1:15:12
Speaker 1: during regular business hours. Now they're callid and the bus
1:15:16
Speaker 1: the rhymes think my office hours started three am and
1:15:19
Speaker 1: that's when they come and I get up out of
1:15:21
Speaker 1: the bed and they go to the office and I
1:15:23
Speaker 1: see them after they leave the studio. They prefer privacy,
1:15:28
Speaker 1: So I got uhh, I have different things. I I
1:15:34
Speaker 1: basically have twenty four hours office hours for the celeb
1:15:37
Speaker 1: so a lot of times they come in on office periods.
1:15:41
Speaker 1: Put a lot of them come in during regular time. Okay, cool,
1:15:44
Speaker 1: it's called out a couple of things. V IP Smiles
1:15:48
Speaker 1: and Queen of Smiles. Those are two of you. Those
1:15:51
Speaker 1: are two of your brands. Correct? Could I say that? Yeah? Okay? Cool?
1:15:55
Speaker 1: Why are Why are they so important to you? We
1:15:59
Speaker 1: know what? Um? No matter where I go, UM those
1:16:04
Speaker 1: brands and the Queen of Smiles is trademark, So no
1:16:07
Speaker 1: matter where I'm working, where I go, you will know
1:16:10
Speaker 1: that I am that brand. And the branding is so
1:16:14
Speaker 1: important because it will forever be a mark on who
1:16:19
Speaker 1: I am and what I stand for and the services
1:16:22
Speaker 1: I render and my philosophy on health. Uh is all.
1:16:26
Speaker 1: The Queen of Smiles and v I two Smiles was
1:16:30
Speaker 1: the first company that I started in nineties six, and
1:16:33
Speaker 1: I changed the name to New York City Cosmetic in
1:16:36
Speaker 1: General Dentistry and then I just bold that business in August. UM.
1:16:43
Speaker 1: So I am of I am UM forever. I think
1:16:48
Speaker 1: branding is the most important thing that you can do.
1:16:50
Speaker 1: I don't care if you don't own your own company.
1:16:53
Speaker 1: Within whatever company you work for, work on your brand,
1:16:57
Speaker 1: on who you are. So if you ever leave that
1:17:00
Speaker 1: company that you people know your brand, you could walk
1:17:04
Speaker 1: away with it. You can sell that couple. But but
1:17:07
Speaker 1: Dr Austin is walking with you. You can't duplicate me.
1:17:12
Speaker 1: You can't duplicate my brand. And that's important that you
1:17:15
Speaker 1: say that, because I talked to people about branding and
1:17:17
Speaker 1: marketing all the time, that that's important that you know,
1:17:20
Speaker 1: you know a difference. It's like fensance, you know, because
1:17:22
Speaker 1: we brought up Steve Harvey, named Steven so on so
1:17:24
Speaker 1: many different TV shows. But people are watching Steve Harvey,
1:17:27
Speaker 1: they're watching him, right, is the brand, He's the brand.
1:17:34
Speaker 1: And so with that being said, because we keep going
1:17:36
Speaker 1: back to TV with you, young lady, we keep going
1:17:39
Speaker 1: back to TV. You know you so so, so what
1:17:43
Speaker 1: type of what type of TV do you do you
1:17:45
Speaker 1: envision yourself being a part of. Let's go and get
1:17:48
Speaker 1: that out. When people see your TV, they're gonna I
1:17:50
Speaker 1: heard I said that don't reshan money, make conversation. Yes,
1:17:55
Speaker 1: So what I envisioned is me doing what I do.
1:17:58
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be on TV fighting with girlfriends who
1:18:03
Speaker 1: knocking somebody tooth out and then putting it right back in. Nope.
1:18:10
Speaker 1: I do on my YouTube page what's called smile Stories,
1:18:13
Speaker 1: where I video tape UM from start to finish, the
1:18:16
Speaker 1: stories of some of my patients that come in, the
1:18:19
Speaker 1: everyday person, not the celebrities, UM, the everyday person, the
1:18:23
Speaker 1: mother for the the Spelman student that flew in from
1:18:27
Speaker 1: Atlanta to get her teeth done because she wants to
1:18:30
Speaker 1: be ready to be a lawyer. You know she can't
1:18:32
Speaker 1: in that courtroom, but messed up teeth. I have those
1:18:35
Speaker 1: kinds of smile stories, the gifts of a daughter giving
1:18:39
Speaker 1: her mother a birthday gift to change or smile because
1:18:41
Speaker 1: she didn't feel confident. I want to show those stories
1:18:45
Speaker 1: on TV. Can I share some of those stories? Can
1:18:48
Speaker 1: I share something on my Facebook page? Yes? Yes, I
1:18:52
Speaker 1: would love that because those are because you know, I'm

1:19:07
Speaker 1: to do that. Okay, yeah, and so don't what happens
1:19:11
Speaker 1: with those stories. The everyday hired working person gets inspired
1:19:14

1:21:45
Speaker 1: of yours, my brother, I'm a fan of yours. I've
1:21:49
Speaker 1: been following that hall. That hall. That's just your f
1:21:54
Speaker 1: on your brand man, the boat tie and the boat tie,
1:21:57
Speaker 1: trying to keep the hair. Brother, Well, you know, I
1:22:00
Speaker 1: ain't got no had to keep. I have no hair
1:22:02
Speaker 1: to keep, So I'm a fan of you have. But
1:22:05
Speaker 1: then how man you think? You say you want me
1:22:10
Speaker 1: to cut some of my hair so you can have
1:22:11
Speaker 1: some of my hair? Oh no, oh no, brother, you
1:22:14
Speaker 1: keep that look you you're a handsome guy. I just
1:22:17
Speaker 1: know that God made me this way. God gave you
1:22:20
Speaker 1: some extra values in your hair. You know you it's springy.
1:22:24
Speaker 1: You got the bow tie, you have read. I want
1:22:27
Speaker 1: you on there because you are a brand man, and
1:22:30
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to every other other things. But you
1:22:33
Speaker 1: established yourself as a brand the very first day you
1:22:36
Speaker 1: came into the NFL. You knew exactly who you were.
1:22:40
Speaker 1: How is that? How? How did you figure it out?
1:22:43
Speaker 1: And how? And then it just extended and you just
1:22:46
Speaker 1: built who you are, which is a renaissance man. Well,
1:22:50
Speaker 1: you know, I think that who you are is determined
1:22:53
Speaker 1: by the experiences, um that you've gone through and the
1:22:58
Speaker 1: people that that sort of accentuate the moments that you have, right,
1:23:03
Speaker 1: And I think I've very fortunate to have two wonderful
1:23:06
Speaker 1: parents that have around the world. They both we're in
1:23:09
Speaker 1: the military still in celebration of Veterans Day, you know,
1:23:11
Speaker 1: I'd like to take my mom's Jones and my dad
1:23:15
Speaker 1: Samuel Jones. And so I think that's at the stage
1:23:19
Speaker 1: or um, my my life, my life plan, as you will.
1:23:24
Speaker 1: But I think that the life plan, as I've said before,
1:23:27
Speaker 1: with the in funds of people that are around you,
1:23:29
Speaker 1: with the butt of the experiences, kind of allows that
1:23:32
Speaker 1: to evolve. So like I didn't, I didn't know who
1:23:35
Speaker 1: I was becoming. All I knew is that I was
1:23:37
Speaker 1: surrounded by great people that allowed me an opportunity to
1:23:40
Speaker 1: see different things and hear different things and be different
1:23:43
Speaker 1: ways which allowed me to experience different things, which sort
1:23:45
Speaker 1: of changed my outlook on life. And I would say
1:23:48
Speaker 1: from the from the bow time perspective, that was really
1:23:50
Speaker 1: just my my good friend to little John who just
1:23:54
Speaker 1: allowed me to understand the power of the bow tie.
1:23:56
Speaker 1: And if I culminate the two and sort of put
1:23:59
Speaker 1: them together then created a magnificent m magnificent life. And
1:24:03
Speaker 1: I'm very blessed and honored to sort of be traveling
1:24:07
Speaker 1: this path and and allow other brothers young and old,
1:24:12
Speaker 1: sisters young and old to sort of come along this journey,
1:24:15
Speaker 1: which I'm so fortunate to be a part of us.
1:24:17
Speaker 1: Now you grew up now because we got to talk
1:24:18
Speaker 1: about this boat tie a little bit, because I feel
1:24:20
Speaker 1: it's important because a lot of people, you know, uh,
1:24:24
Speaker 1: you know, a shy away from standing up for who
1:24:26
Speaker 1: they really are because you grew up in the hip
1:24:28
Speaker 1: hop era, and we know the hip hop era sagging page.
1:24:32
Speaker 1: We know that. You know, it's kind of like I
1:24:34
Speaker 1: went to that phase. I had my parents kids to
1:24:37
Speaker 1: add my MPT hammer pants back in the day. Oh
1:24:39
Speaker 1: you dropped him back with the boat Town. Come on,
1:24:41
Speaker 1: Mr Jones r R. That was that was my high
1:24:45
Speaker 1: school phase. The boat I didn't episode, so I got
1:24:48
Speaker 1: to uh NFL. That was really a rookie year, right,
1:24:51
Speaker 1: absolutely understand the power of that bow tie. So yeah,
1:24:54
Speaker 1: so the both ties and and kids pads were definitely
1:24:58
Speaker 1: not in the same time. Friend life so so so
1:25:01
Speaker 1: so you will still finding yourself and and and and
1:25:05
Speaker 1: and right now, because I'll just leads to the reason
1:25:08
Speaker 1: I say you're so interesting to me because you we're
1:25:10
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all the different shows you do, and
1:25:13
Speaker 1: then the worldliness of activities you do in investments and
1:25:16
Speaker 1: things like that, because because it seems like you just
1:25:19
Speaker 1: you allow yourself to experience the journey to the fullest
1:25:22
Speaker 1: when it happens to you, you don't, you don't steer
1:25:25
Speaker 1: it away from it, and and my credit, you have
1:25:29
Speaker 1: to do. I think a lot of times people shut
1:25:31
Speaker 1: down the notion of saying yes because they're afraid of
1:25:34
Speaker 1: what that opportunity to might open themselves up to. Right
1:25:37
Speaker 1: It's about exposing yourself and being vulnerable to what's out there.
1:25:41
Speaker 1: And I think that it's unfortunately when we're when we're
1:25:44
Speaker 1: young children, so we're open to so much more Older
1:25:48
Speaker 1: and we close down some more things. But if the
1:25:51
Speaker 1: opportunities are more plentiful because we have more relationships that
1:25:54
Speaker 1: allow for them to happen. So I'm always of the
1:25:56
Speaker 1: opinion that as you get older, you should say yes
1:25:59
Speaker 1: more often times in order to sort of shape a
1:26:02
Speaker 1: little bit more and allow that idea that you've had
1:26:04
Speaker 1: for a long period of time to crystallize and then
1:26:07
Speaker 1: start saying no once you've been able to identify. Because
1:26:11
Speaker 1: us as people, we will find ourselves multiple times during
1:26:14
Speaker 1: the journey of life. It doesn't necessarily happen and one
1:26:16
Speaker 1: fell swoop. Something might happen in your life. Dramatic, you
1:26:20
Speaker 1: mean a lot of different things. You know, I, You know,
1:26:22
Speaker 1: you could go from you know, being on his track
1:26:24
Speaker 1: to being a pdtrac neuro classic surgeon, of which I was,
1:26:27
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you get drafted, so
1:26:29
Speaker 1: you go into a new track. You play in the NFL,
1:26:31
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you start doing more
1:26:32
Speaker 1: things in television and working things in business, and then
1:26:36
Speaker 1: that's a new dramatic um sort of time in your life.
1:26:40
Speaker 1: And then you go from that and then doing other things.
1:26:42
Speaker 1: You have several different occurrences that shape different opportunities of
1:26:45
Speaker 1: your life. So keep saying yes, allow those crystallized to
1:26:48
Speaker 1: the point where then therefore you say no and allow
1:26:51
Speaker 1: those reasons of opportunity to come from different direction and
1:26:53
Speaker 1: really move towards them, don't move away from them. It's
1:26:57
Speaker 1: so because you know you've you've lived a life of
1:27:01
Speaker 1: the nine stereotypes of being a part of your brain.
1:27:04
Speaker 1: You know, as an African American, we only supposed to
1:27:06
Speaker 1: do certain things. As an athlete, you're only supposed to
1:27:09
Speaker 1: be doing certain things. And then you had to investments,
1:27:12
Speaker 1: you hosting show, you articulate, you, you know, all these things.
1:27:16
Speaker 1: I say these things to explain to the audience. How
1:27:21
Speaker 1: are you able to overcome in the stereotypes? I guess
1:27:26
Speaker 1: I should say that, how have you been able at
1:27:27
Speaker 1: each level of the way. How do you do that?
1:27:30
Speaker 1: I think number one, it's about acknowledging what the stereotypes
1:27:33
Speaker 1: are and then sort of ingesting them and realizing, you know,
1:27:38
Speaker 1: the taste and the flavor and the texture of them.
1:27:41
Speaker 1: And then once you are able to sort of fully
1:27:44
Speaker 1: sort of comprehend that of what your up against, now
1:27:47
Speaker 1: you decisively decide how you was to attack them right.
1:27:52
Speaker 1: And some some people consider attack these stereotypes with sort
1:27:56
Speaker 1: of a non salant attitude, where it doesn't you know,
1:27:59
Speaker 1: does it really matter? I just kind of go and
1:28:01
Speaker 1: do my thing. Other people are a little bit more
1:28:03
Speaker 1: strategic in the way they go about doing it. And
1:28:05
Speaker 1: then something have a hybrid of a little bit of both,
1:28:07
Speaker 1: and I think from for me. You know, when I
1:28:10
Speaker 1: got to the University of Michigan, that really set the
1:28:12
Speaker 1: stage for a lot of different things, and I had
1:28:13
Speaker 1: to make a lot of tough choices. I mean, I
1:28:15
Speaker 1: almost got kicked out my first day because I was
1:28:17
Speaker 1: arguing with the coach and I was arguing with the
1:28:19
Speaker 1: leadership on the team. So I decided, right, okay, maybe
1:28:22
Speaker 1: I won't argue. Maybe right, So you've become a better player,
1:28:27
Speaker 1: you get more, you get more kudos, and therefore you
1:28:29
Speaker 1: get more leadership. Therefore you make more decisions. They have
1:28:32
Speaker 1: to be a little bit strategic and at the same
1:28:34
Speaker 1: time a little bit nonchalant and kind of find which
1:28:37
Speaker 1: balance of which makes more sense for you because it's
1:28:43
Speaker 1: it's it's more did you say that because of the
1:28:45
Speaker 1: fact that a lot of people stand up at the
1:28:47
Speaker 1: wrong time. You know, everything's timing. You know. It's like
1:28:50
Speaker 1: I can I can tell you certain situations where I've
1:28:52
Speaker 1: opened my mouth at the wrong time and I understands,
1:28:56
Speaker 1: not fully understands, they don't want to do that, not
1:28:58
Speaker 1: fully understanding why opening my mouth? You know what I'm saying,
1:29:01
Speaker 1: just just just wanna just want to I want to
1:29:03
Speaker 1: set the record straight with that, setting the record straight
1:29:06
Speaker 1: cost me an opportunity in my life. And I think
1:29:09
Speaker 1: I feel that when I run into an individual like you,
1:29:12
Speaker 1: who was so diverse with your lifestyle, so diverse with
1:29:15
Speaker 1: your opportunities, that when you say that statement about look,
1:29:18
Speaker 1: when I got to Michigan, I kind of ran my
1:29:20
Speaker 1: mouth for a little bit too much, but I checked myself.
1:29:23
Speaker 1: I stepped back, you know, and and and and a
1:29:27
Speaker 1: lot of people don't step back because some false pride
1:29:31
Speaker 1: or don't want to look bad. And that's why a
1:29:33
Speaker 1: lot of people in jail because they didn't step back.
1:29:36
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of people in situations and investments
1:29:38
Speaker 1: are a lot of people in the homeless homeless because
1:29:40
Speaker 1: of fact they didn't step back and evaluate what they're
1:29:44
Speaker 1: about to do with their next decision. And you did
1:29:47
Speaker 1: that at such a young age, though, Mr Jones. See,
1:29:51
Speaker 1: stop acting like you regular people, Mr Jones, because you're not.
1:29:56
Speaker 1: But I told him, puts on just like everybody else.
1:29:59
Speaker 1: You know one l No, No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
1:30:02
Speaker 1: you my brother, You're special. And I'm gonna say that
1:30:05
Speaker 1: because because because you're stand I'm saying because see, because
1:30:09
Speaker 1: you know, when you grow up in life, man, we
1:30:11
Speaker 1: all make decisions. I always tell people this. We all
1:30:14
Speaker 1: have the same decision making opportunities. Yes, there's some geniuses
1:30:19
Speaker 1: out there. I got that. I got that, but but
1:30:21
Speaker 1: in general we all are intelligent people. God gives us
1:30:24
Speaker 1: a shock, okay. But then the special people like you man,
1:30:29
Speaker 1: who get it, who get it, who make decisions, become
1:30:32
Speaker 1: natural leaders, becoming a natural activists, who become naturally engaged
1:30:37
Speaker 1: in the process. And I always want to talk to
1:30:40
Speaker 1: you because because I think because it's so natural to
1:30:43
Speaker 1: you and you're so humble that you that you want
1:30:45
Speaker 1: to act like I'm regular put you know, going back
1:30:48
Speaker 1: through You're like everybody else. I'll put the parts on
1:30:50
Speaker 1: one four day at a time. You're like everybody else.
1:30:53
Speaker 1: Are you my food? My food was a food and
1:30:55
Speaker 1: funk just like everybody else. And that's not true, sir,
1:30:57
Speaker 1: and and I think that value, if anything you take
1:31:00
Speaker 1: away from me on this show is that I admire
1:31:02
Speaker 1: you for who you are, and I admire the themes
1:31:05
Speaker 1: and the attributes that you bring to your life and
1:31:08
Speaker 1: everybody's life every day. You know, that thing I asked
1:31:11
Speaker 1: is to let everybody know that you they can do
1:31:13
Speaker 1: this too. And you do that as well, because that's
1:31:16
Speaker 1: part of your your DNA, that's all I think. That's
1:31:19
Speaker 1: also that's also part of my my mission at the
1:31:21
Speaker 1: end of the day, right, and it's are you doing
1:31:24
Speaker 1: this for yourself? Are you? Are you doing this for others?
1:31:27
Speaker 1: Are you you know who? And what are the prime
1:31:30
Speaker 1: motivating factors behind it? And you know, I was funny.
1:31:33
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of my friends the other
1:31:35
Speaker 1: day and we were we were kind of talking about
1:31:39
Speaker 1: different songs that were out there, daving songs. Talking about
1:31:43
Speaker 1: legacy actually meant a lot to me, right, talking about
1:31:46
Speaker 1: you know how other black men and women need to
1:31:49
Speaker 1: make sure that we are creating that legacy so we
1:31:51
Speaker 1: can pass that down to us has a different level
1:31:54
Speaker 1: and the roller reponsibility in that and that plan. So
1:31:59
Speaker 1: everything that I did is not only for my family,
1:32:02
Speaker 1: but also for those that are coming behind so that
1:32:05
Speaker 1: they can be a part of the whole moving forward.
1:32:10
Speaker 1: My man, We're gonna be right back and talk about
1:32:11
Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows, did you do that? Adventure Capitalists?
1:32:15
Speaker 1: That crazy show that you'd be doing out there, man,
1:32:18
Speaker 1: is so cool and so entertaining to me. We're gonna
1:32:21
Speaker 1: be right back with more, Mr Jones. I'm calling Mr
1:32:23
Speaker 1: Jones on my show because he's a renaissance man. More
1:32:27
Speaker 1: money making conversation. Be right back, Hi, I'm back with
1:32:38
Speaker 1: Mr Jones. What's up, my brother? He man, Um, let's
1:32:43
Speaker 1: talk about this show, Adventure Capitalists. Okay, this is kind
1:32:48
Speaker 1: of like because y'all actually participate in the in the process. Correct,
1:32:55
Speaker 1: That's what I like about this show. This is kind
1:32:57
Speaker 1: of like. This is kind of like the Shark Tank
1:32:59
Speaker 1: on sterile, right, Shark Tank on steris that's the entertaining look.
1:33:03
Speaker 1: I love. I love everybody in the Shark Tank. I
1:33:07
Speaker 1: love bunching Cuban. I love watching you know all these
1:33:11
Speaker 1: Hersiebeck and all those guys Laurie and and do their thing. Barbara, right,
1:33:16
Speaker 1: But what they won't do. They won't get into degree water.
1:33:21
Speaker 1: What they want to do and jump into a brand
1:33:24
Speaker 1: new motorcycle and jump off a jump, they won't do.
1:33:30
Speaker 1: They won't try some brand new give her gloves and
1:33:33
Speaker 1: put it into a fire, right, their hands won't get
1:33:36
Speaker 1: set on fire. That's what That's what I do. That's
1:33:38
Speaker 1: what we do. That's what Jeremy, f Sean and and
1:33:41
Speaker 1: all of us do on the show. And we have
1:33:43
Speaker 1: a really good time doing it. Sort of it's a
1:33:46
Speaker 1: part of the experience because we think that, you know,
1:33:48
Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, doing investments, you gotta
1:33:52
Speaker 1: have you gotta have hands on, hands on the whole
1:33:54
Speaker 1: body do it. I love it because because you know,
1:33:59
Speaker 1: because I you know, both for both of these NBC shows,
1:34:02
Speaker 1: and so I like the fact that you know, when
1:34:05
Speaker 1: they try to do something, try on some gloves and trousers,
1:34:09
Speaker 1: you know, then athletic side of them just pops off,
1:34:12
Speaker 1: just screams, put your back down. Ship, that's not what
1:34:16
Speaker 1: you do. Sit back down. But on your show, you
1:34:19
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you go, okay, you know you
1:34:20
Speaker 1: shouldn't put on those skates. You know, Mark Cuban, you
1:34:23
Speaker 1: should not put on those skates. Something bad is about
1:34:25
Speaker 1: to happen to you, brother and so but not. But
1:34:28
Speaker 1: but I know that it's so much that's part of
1:34:30
Speaker 1: the show's uh popularity to me, you know, it's like,
1:34:34
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm I'm I'm a fan of the
1:34:36
Speaker 1: fact that you know, and it's also kind of like
1:34:39
Speaker 1: got that little disaster part of you know, something can
1:34:42
Speaker 1: go wrong. Part of it is also in the back
1:34:45
Speaker 1: of my head too. Is that a bad value to
1:34:47
Speaker 1: have that you know, y'all might bust y'all, but type no,
1:34:52
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a funny part of
1:34:54
Speaker 1: the show, right, And I think you know, we're going
1:34:57
Speaker 1: to the episodes at eleven PM and we'll talk about
1:35:02
Speaker 1: you know, Len's bikes, and there's a part of that
1:35:05
Speaker 1: where you will see Jeremy and myself and Sean just
1:35:08
Speaker 1: to get a little bit out of control. You know, products,
1:35:11
Speaker 1: products that are new to us, that are also new
1:35:14
Speaker 1: to those that are watching, and also developed by the
1:35:19
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs sometimes don't have some safety precautions built into it,
1:35:23
Speaker 1: and those are the chances that we take as entrepreneurs.
1:35:26
Speaker 1: So just as much as we're risking on the capital,
1:35:28
Speaker 1: were also risking some of our health and wellness as
1:35:31
Speaker 1: there is you know, trying to trying to find the
1:35:33
Speaker 1: best deals. So you know, I'm I'm really excited about
1:35:37
Speaker 1: the episode that's come up tomorrow, but I've been excited
1:35:39
Speaker 1: about all the episodes that we that we've had because
1:35:43
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little something for everybody, whether it's
1:35:45
Speaker 1: motor tracks, which is a additive piece that goes on
1:35:48
Speaker 1: a motorcycle, or you know, if you beach right, right,
1:35:54
Speaker 1: So this all kinds of stuff. I mean, fall Kicker
1:35:57
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, for those out there that are
1:35:59
Speaker 1: snow glinting, do you want to have a product that
1:36:01
Speaker 1: keeps your legs clear? You know, every everybody that goes storkling. Um,
1:36:06
Speaker 1: you know the worst thing that happens your lens fads though,
1:36:08
Speaker 1: So you want to have that fat kicker? Right. All
1:36:11
Speaker 1: these products that we have have different angles and have
1:36:15
Speaker 1: different ways, and we're just trying to maximize opportunity by
1:36:18
Speaker 1: being able to sort of expose ourselves to the entire product. Okay,
1:36:23
Speaker 1: let me, I gotta ask you this, Mr Jones. Okay,
1:36:25
Speaker 1: like I I watched Naked and Afraid. You're negative Afraid.
1:36:28
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite shows, you know, you know,
1:36:30
Speaker 1: and and the Neck and and Afraid. They you know,
1:36:32
Speaker 1: they act like they in the woods and when some
1:36:34
Speaker 1: go wrong, here comes this producer out of the woods. Everybody,
1:36:37
Speaker 1: all right, okay, let me take you to ever take
1:36:40
Speaker 1: your temperature. We've got to take you off now, y'all
1:36:42
Speaker 1: like that doing all these crazy things. Okay, where is
1:36:45
Speaker 1: the ambulance truck had? And where the doctors? We don't
1:36:50
Speaker 1: have anything. We're athletes. Come on, come on, come on,
1:36:55
Speaker 1: and not the football league. And he wasn't Olympian for
1:36:58
Speaker 1: no reasons. Don was an Olympian for no for no reason.
1:37:02
Speaker 1: I wasn't an NFL player, And I didn't travel around
1:37:04
Speaker 1: the world playing sports on every single continent for no
1:37:09
Speaker 1: No doctor on the sidelines with his own phone. Nothing. Yeah,
1:37:13
Speaker 1: you know, we got a band aid just like everybody else.
1:37:18
Speaker 1: We got a little bitty box with the band aids,
1:37:21
Speaker 1: and we might have some some some cold freeze. Something
1:37:26
Speaker 1: gets but we have a timeline online, so so we're
1:37:31
Speaker 1: out there pushing the products to the limit, and sometimes
1:37:33
Speaker 1: things talk it to us. That's a part of the show.
1:37:36
Speaker 1: If something gets touched, we band aided up. If we
1:37:40
Speaker 1: get back up, if we start to drown, you better
1:37:43
Speaker 1: swim your way back home. You know, there's there's there's
1:37:46
Speaker 1: precautions obviously that are put in place, but for the
1:37:48
Speaker 1: most part, we're out there on our own accord because
1:37:52
Speaker 1: we are trusting the entrepreneur with the product. Therefore, we
1:37:54
Speaker 1: might invest in to create an opportunity not on custom
1:37:58
Speaker 1: for them, but also for the community to be able
1:38:00
Speaker 1: with the purchase at a later date, and that the
1:38:02
Speaker 1: and that's that's let me ask you this so and
1:38:04
Speaker 1: and and putting this show together. And because do you
1:38:08
Speaker 1: guys get a chance to pick the products for this
1:38:11
Speaker 1: show or they just say these are the products we're
1:38:13
Speaker 1: going to do in the show and y'all just familiarize
1:38:16
Speaker 1: yourself with it. How does that work? No, there's there's
1:38:18
Speaker 1: a handful of people that are part of the process.
1:38:21
Speaker 1: Whether it's the producers of the show, whether it's the network, um,
1:38:24
Speaker 1: whether it's us as the investors. UM. I think all
1:38:28
Speaker 1: three of us coming together to be able to sort
1:38:30
Speaker 1: of identify really good products that are all successible. Right,
1:38:33
Speaker 1: because the show doesn't work if the products don't work, right, Um,
1:38:37
Speaker 1: Just like in chart, the show does not work if
1:38:41
Speaker 1: the products don't work. You want to be able to
1:38:43
Speaker 1: imagine this product and also see this product come to
1:38:47
Speaker 1: full fruition so that the product becomes something that the
1:38:50
Speaker 1: American Dream has built a products but but you know,
1:38:53
Speaker 1: has become more successful as a result of creating it,
1:38:56
Speaker 1: and that we have invested. Therefore, more people would come
1:38:59
Speaker 1: back to the show to showcase their products. Nobody wants
1:39:01
Speaker 1: to hang out with some investors that having created products
1:39:04
Speaker 1: that are successful success free success. But but but you
1:39:08
Speaker 1: have to admit that your show is different than Shark
1:39:11
Speaker 1: Tag because it's a physicality tattoo it, you know, it's
1:39:15
Speaker 1: it's definitely a lot different the charteg. I think the
1:39:17
Speaker 1: guiding principles of any show, especially our show, is about
1:39:22
Speaker 1: people realizing the American dream. Right. You can come up
1:39:24
Speaker 1: with an idea, you can find an issue, you can
1:39:27
Speaker 1: solve to the issue. Someone can have a belief and
1:39:30
Speaker 1: confidence in you that you've created something that is solved
1:39:33
Speaker 1: that issue, and they can invest in it, and therefore
1:39:36
Speaker 1: they're investing in something that you can therefore build out
1:39:39
Speaker 1: and other people purchase it, and therefore you become wealthy
1:39:42
Speaker 1: because of it, and other people have sort of fun
1:39:46
Speaker 1: utilizing their products or buying into the product, and then
1:39:49
Speaker 1: they're able to think the same thing. So we want
1:39:51
Speaker 1: to make sure that the products that we have on
1:39:53
Speaker 1: the show that are inherently put forward, put forth by
1:39:57
Speaker 1: the investors and by the network and by the producers,
1:40:00
Speaker 1: that people will actually see and that will win my
1:40:03
