4:16
Speaker 1: we have won points. It's sleeping money, sleeping sleep like that.

4:25
Speaker 1: know you talk about different steps, right, And one of
4:28
Speaker 1: my steps in my career is to find mentors, whether
4:32
Speaker 1: I get to talk to them or I just get
4:34
Speaker 1: to like take information from their different um, their different
4:39
Speaker 1: lives and their different paths. So um, knowingly you don't

Speaker 1: even notice. You were already on my board, Like I
4:45
Speaker 1: have a kill list, right, people I need to meet,
4:48
Speaker 1: need to talk to, and you were already on that list.
4:51
Speaker 1: Thank you. So you were on that list and it
4:54

Speaker 1: in my mind Byron Allen, You Byron Allen, Steve Harvey, uh,
5:03
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith, Um, Chris Abrego from fifty one minds,
5:08
Speaker 1: like all these different people. So, um, I've studied and
5:12
Speaker 1: all of these people have gone to that na peek. Right.
5:15
Speaker 1: So I talked to um not name dropping, but I
5:18
Speaker 1: talked to Mari Povig's people and they were like, hey,
5:20
Speaker 1: Mario will be at nap nappy. Then I saw you
5:23
Speaker 1: you said nappy. I was like, you know what, this
5:24
Speaker 1: is the year I need to be at NAPIA. And
5:29
Speaker 1: you were the deciding factor of me going because this
5:32
Speaker 1: was I've been trying to go to this event for
5:35
Speaker 1: the last five years and three days before I talked
5:40
Speaker 1: to you someone you know, you know, Mari Po Just
5:42
Speaker 1: people said Napty, you said NAPTI, I said, I gotta go.
5:45
Speaker 1: So I needed to know, uh, not only from a
5:49
Speaker 1: from a perspective of you know, I'm talent on air,
5:52
Speaker 1: but I need to know what the executives know and
5:54
Speaker 1: what the executives look at. And you know, the information
5:57
Speaker 1: I walked away from from Nape forever change me. Even
6:01
Speaker 1: this our one on one conversation him broaden um, my perspective.
6:05
Speaker 1: So I really appreciate you for that as well. Well,
6:08
Speaker 1: it's it's it's what I do. Okay, um again, it's
6:12
Speaker 1: really funny Chris and brego. You know in the mall,
6:15
Speaker 1: in the mall, what I did in Steve Harvard Talk
6:17
Speaker 1: show Steve Harvard, everybody knows. I managed it for sixteen years.
6:20
Speaker 1: Currently I managed Steven A. Smith. So so so we
6:23
Speaker 1: really would really would narrowing it down just one person
6:26
Speaker 1: meet you need to be, you need to be because
6:31
Speaker 1: barn Ellen, I don't know. I know Barron Ellen from
6:33
Speaker 1: my stand up comedy days, and he was there getting
6:35
Speaker 1: a great speech and he's on the top of the
6:37
Speaker 1: world with his with his what he's come from and
6:40
Speaker 1: so so when I look at you as a talent,
6:42
Speaker 1: I did your show, very comfortable show, and I was
6:44
Speaker 1: I walked over. My walk away was like, Okay, this
6:47
Speaker 1: young man should expand his brand. He should be bigger
6:50
Speaker 1: than this in this market. But sometimes you can get
6:53
Speaker 1: trapped into a market. Not saying you trapped, but you
6:55
Speaker 1: know you want to syndicate, and sometimes deals won't let
6:58
Speaker 1: you syndicate because they have a different vision it for you.
7:00
Speaker 1: So what is the ultimate vision for Well, first of all,
7:04
Speaker 1: before before you answer that question, what was your experience
7:06
Speaker 1: coming to NAPTI. It was for me it exceeded um
7:14
Speaker 1: my wildest expectations for me going into NAPTI. I was
7:18
Speaker 1: a guy you know, I go I come from radio
7:20
Speaker 1: going into television, I thought I was just doing the
7:22
Speaker 1: show in Philly and no one can see it. Um.
7:26
Speaker 1: I met a lot of executives there that knew who
7:28
Speaker 1: I was, which me away that was number one. Number
7:32
Speaker 1: two the information of streaming and o T T over
7:36
Speaker 1: the top technology which our industry and television is going towards. UM.
7:41
Speaker 1: That that helped me. So I said, okay, this is
7:43
Speaker 1: where I need to go, and gave me the insight
7:46
Speaker 1: of you know, some of the people that I worked
7:48
Speaker 1: for here at Fox UM there the vision of what
7:52
Speaker 1: television looks like moving forward. So for me, it was
7:56
Speaker 1: it was something I wish I would have done four
7:58
Speaker 1: or five years ago. But I'm I'm really glad I
8:01
Speaker 1: made the last minute decision after I talked to you
8:03
Speaker 1: to go to that. Absolutely. NAPPY is the National Association
8:07
Speaker 1: of Television Program Executives is a professional associative of television
8:11
Speaker 1: and emergent media executives. And people come down there. They
8:14
Speaker 1: have they have seminars, they have panels, and also more important,
8:17
Speaker 1: they have buyers buyers of television shows and and also
8:20
Speaker 1: they have speakers and who tell you about their experience.
8:23
Speaker 1: And it's really is if you're trying to get in
8:26
Speaker 1: the television business, I want to get educated by the
8:29
Speaker 1: television business. You know, you can buy a day pass,
8:31
Speaker 1: I think a day pass just to come by and
8:33
Speaker 1: see the activities, like six six hundred dollars a day
8:36
Speaker 1: just to go in and just be able to see
8:37
Speaker 1: the different booths and different different lanes of information that
8:41
Speaker 1: are being processed while you're down there. And so one
8:44
Speaker 1: of the great things that we got to do is
8:46
Speaker 1: I got to really spend some none you know, TV
8:49
Speaker 1: time with with Quincy and sit down with him and
8:51
Speaker 1: we we looked over your SiZ of reels and and
8:55
Speaker 1: I just gave you my level of expert expertise as
8:57
Speaker 1: to why this word because he had two different sizzlar el.
9:00
Speaker 1: My whole concept was emerging. Its warm because that's what
9:02
Speaker 1: I do. What I do is I'm able to look
9:04
Speaker 1: at talent, and this young man is talented. So now
9:07
Speaker 1: he just has to make decisions now because and they're
9:09
Speaker 1: tough decisions because sometimes, you know, I love IBM. I
9:12
Speaker 1: went to one of the roads of stand up comic.
9:14
Speaker 1: I went to New York, and I went to l A,
9:16
Speaker 1: then went from l A back to Houston. And all
9:18
Speaker 1: these are life changing decisions because of the fact that
9:21
Speaker 1: has is he is Philly the right place for him.
9:26
Speaker 1: That's the decision he has to make now. Because I
9:29
Speaker 1: can easily see him on e I can easily see
9:32
Speaker 1: him on you know, entertainment tonight. I can easy to
9:35
Speaker 1: see him on There's so many things I could easily
9:37
Speaker 1: see him on. But guess what they're not in the
9:39
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Yeah, exactly, as well as as well as the
9:45
Speaker 1: emerging technology of other shows that we have mentioned that
9:48
Speaker 1: are being on, you know, on Roku channels and podcast channels.
9:52
Speaker 1: It's a lot of really really cool things. So when
9:55
Speaker 1: I look at the talent, like like Quincy Harris, you
9:57
Speaker 1: know who's based in Philadelphia, you know, I'm I'm I
10:01
Speaker 1: gotta wait till heat makes that decision before I can
10:03
Speaker 1: step in and go, hey man, I can do this
10:05
Speaker 1: for you, because certain things you can't not do if
10:07
Speaker 1: you're not available consistently for people to see you. And
10:12
Speaker 1: that's why I wanted you to come down to NAPTI
10:13
Speaker 1: and let you know. It's what people know you, my man,
10:17
Speaker 1: way more than you think they know you now. Now
10:20
Speaker 1: now they're gonna say, well yet that the question you
10:24
Speaker 1: have that where are you located in so and and
10:28
Speaker 1: the frustration can happen is that you can move to
10:30
Speaker 1: l A. You can move up to New York and
10:32
Speaker 1: guess what six months later you brought me. I could
10:34
Speaker 1: have stayed in Philadelphia. They're no guarantees, They're no guarantee.
10:38
Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you, Quincy, you are talented, my friend.
10:42
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. No, I appreciate it. It was
10:45
Speaker 1: It's funny I lived in Philly my entire life, and
10:48
Speaker 1: then I moved to l A with no job. This
10:51
Speaker 1: was in two thousand and seven, and I landed a
10:54
Speaker 1: radio gig with Big Boy, who syndicated radio hosts out there,
10:58
Speaker 1: and I learned from him, and I was out there
11:00
Speaker 1: for about almost five years and then me coming back home.
11:05
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I stayed home. I was here, and
11:08
Speaker 1: then I transitioned into you know, my television show here
11:11
Speaker 1: at Fox, which is you know, it's been a great opportunity.
11:13
Speaker 1: But again, you know, you can look at other people's
11:17
Speaker 1: stories and just see like, Okay, I need to write
11:19
Speaker 1: my own story. But you also have to keep changing
11:22
Speaker 1: and keep reinventing yourself and keep um taking risks. So
11:27
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm a I'm all for it. I definitely, um,
11:30
Speaker 1: you know, everything that aligns the way it needs to align.
11:32
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm appreciative of just our connection in the
11:37

14:39
Speaker 1: Then we've got a little fight on our hands. No, no, no,
14:42
Speaker 1: we gotta have we gotta have the Nigerian so my
14:47
Speaker 1: people would be on me. So yes, absolutely, thank you
14:50
Speaker 1: for that. We'll tell us about the background because it
14:52
Speaker 1: is it is a source of pride and h and
14:55
Speaker 1: being able to keep that as part of your your introduction.
14:58
Speaker 1: So talk about the house that relationship. Do well you're
15:01
Speaker 1: in your life now. And how far as your parents
15:04
Speaker 1: you got over to America, you're born in America, how
15:06
Speaker 1: did you work? No, thank you for that. So um yes,
15:10
Speaker 1: as far as my history and when Nigerian plays an
15:12
Speaker 1: important role, I'm Nigerian first and foremost. So I was
15:15
Speaker 1: born to a British mother in Nigerian Province. I grew
15:19
Speaker 1: up my childhood in England in Nigeria, but really my
15:21
Speaker 1: my elementary school primary school years in Nigeria and then
15:25
Speaker 1: I moved to the United States and middle school so
15:28
Speaker 1: as an adolescent and um, you know, it's an interesting
15:31
Speaker 1: transition as an African immigrant, a mixed African immigrant in
15:36
Speaker 1: um in America in the nineteen eighties. So what's always
15:40
Speaker 1: been such an important part of my identity though a
15:43
Speaker 1: dominant part of my identity is being Nigerian. And you
15:46
Speaker 1: see that just I mean prison you're in, you know,
15:49
Speaker 1: you're in the entertainment industry. So now you see more
15:51
Speaker 1: Nigerian Americans like Yvonne aug and Cynthia Rivo and other
15:55
Speaker 1: people celebrating, you know, our culture, and so it's just
15:59
Speaker 1: really and we're very proud people. So even though British
16:03
Speaker 1: is part of my history and I've lived in the
16:04
Speaker 1: United States for more than thirty years, I consider myself
16:08
Speaker 1: and identify with being Nigerians first and foremost. So I
16:12
Speaker 1: am absolutely have to have that in my name. I mean,
16:14
Speaker 1: the other part is I lost my father um many
16:17
Speaker 1: years ago, and so part of honoring his legacy and
16:21
Speaker 1: part of just being my father's daughter, which is so
16:24
Speaker 1: much of who I am, is making sure that I
16:27
Speaker 1: represent him and represent where I come from. So that's
16:29
Speaker 1: why my maiden name is I actually had legally changed
16:33
Speaker 1: to my middle name when I became an American citizen
16:36
Speaker 1: just a year ago, and so that's an important part
16:39
Speaker 1: of who I am and it very much informs everything
16:42
Speaker 1: I do and my point of view on the world. So, um,
16:46
Speaker 1: you see how many years you've been aware? I changed
16:49
Speaker 1: in seeing now rashand he's going to age me. No, No,
16:53
Speaker 1: I don't want to age because the United States the
16:56
Speaker 1: nineteen four But you're so clean it it sounds very British.
17:02
Speaker 1: It sounds very British because I learned to speak English
17:05
Speaker 1: in England. I learned to speak in England, so the
17:07
Speaker 1: first seven or eight years of my life. And yeah,
17:12
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna buy that. I'm like, I
17:13
Speaker 1: see too many British actors come over here speaking English
17:17
Speaker 1: like they bought over here. It's just amazing because we
17:21
Speaker 1: can imitate it. Okay, I can't trust me. I faced
17:24
Speaker 1: the funk for many, many years because as a teenager,
17:27
Speaker 1: you want to sit in but in Nigerian. In my house,
17:31
Speaker 1: my father was a poll that I would use any
17:34
Speaker 1: other accent other than British or Nigerian, or at least
17:37
Speaker 1: a refined Nigerian accent, and so I couldn't at home.
17:40
Speaker 1: So I had to maintain as much as I faced
17:42
Speaker 1: it my sister girl accent outside of the house, I
17:46
Speaker 1: had to maintainment inside because it wasn't sort of acceptable.
17:51
Speaker 1: So I've always had this because this is how I've
17:53
Speaker 1: spoken at home. And one day, um, my brother, my
17:57
Speaker 1: older brother, just said to me, he said, okay, we
17:59
Speaker 1: have to stop for turn day. Um we are American
18:02
Speaker 1: one day and we're something else the next day. Just
18:05
Speaker 1: be who you are. Really were struggled. I did with
18:09
Speaker 1: with somewhat of an identity crisis as a mixed African
18:12
Speaker 1: in America. So finally at some point I said, you know,
18:17
Speaker 1: this is what it is. And some days people say
18:19
Speaker 1: you sound like you're straight out of DC or something.
18:22
Speaker 1: In the next minute, you sound like you're out of
18:24
Speaker 1: the NIGERI because I can speak pigeon English, or you
18:27
Speaker 1: sound like you're right off the boat from England, and
18:29
Speaker 1: that's just who I am. Well you England, and I'm
18:32
Speaker 1: speaking to the British role that the time we're done,
18:35
Speaker 1: I might be sister Girl today, but I'm very British.
18:41
Speaker 1: Even when you say sister girl, you need to stop,
18:43
Speaker 1: it sounds so British. The girl, the girl that stop
18:48
Speaker 1: working on it's not working on your family. You get
18:52
Speaker 1: an F on Sisterhood, the girlhood help it. But we're
18:56
Speaker 1: our next conversation will have will do it in an idea,
18:58
Speaker 1: an accent, and then that will be that would be different. Oh,
19:01
Speaker 1: that'd be totally different. Well, thank you for coming on
19:03
Speaker 1: my show. Money Making Conversations followed your career. I followed
19:06
Speaker 1: your brand and Joy Collective is something that's that's uh,
19:10
Speaker 1: that's based in the Maryland District of Columbia, d C. Area. Correct,
19:16
Speaker 1: it is, So tell us what exactly and how did
19:19
Speaker 1: the name come about? Because you're just president and CEO
19:22
Speaker 1: of Joy Collective. First of all, tell us how the
19:24
Speaker 1: name came about and what exactly does JR Collective do. Yes, well,
19:29
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to talk about Joy. First of all,
19:32
Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't say the founding
19:34
Speaker 1: of Joy actually was by my business partner and co owner,
19:38
Speaker 1: Kelly Joy Richardson Lawson. We have similar stories and that
19:42
Speaker 1: she lost her father and it was such a transformative
19:45
Speaker 1: moment in her life that she decided she wanted to
19:48
Speaker 1: create a company that was really committed to celebrating joy
19:54
Speaker 1: and creating joy for for herself. And just having more
19:57
Speaker 1: joy in her life, especially in her business UM work,
20:01
Speaker 1: And so I joined her. She's been a good friend
20:03
Speaker 1: for many, many years, and I joined her a few
20:06
Speaker 1: months after she created JOY and just to give everybody
20:09
Speaker 1: a um an understanding of who we are and what
20:12
Speaker 1: we do. JOY is a cultural intelligence, marketing and creative
20:17
Speaker 1: agency UM. And yes we're headquartered in DC. And what
20:20
Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, UM, first of all, marketing and advertising,
20:24
Speaker 1: that is what we do, and we do suit to nuts.
20:26
Speaker 1: We do anything from helping companies build marketing strategies to
20:29
Speaker 1: executing those UM. We do video production, we do events,
20:33
Speaker 1: all of that. But we do that from the lens
20:36
Speaker 1: of cultural intelligence in a world that looks very different
20:40
Speaker 1: now than it did five and twenty years ago. And
20:44
Speaker 1: we see companies making so many mistakes these days, like
20:48
Speaker 1: which on you know, we all look sideways when Gucci was,
20:52
Speaker 1: you know, doing black face sweaters and Product was doing
20:55
Speaker 1: all kinds of craziness, and we see all these ads
20:58
Speaker 1: by H and M and so a lot out of
21:00
Speaker 1: times companies will call us after they've made mistakes, but
21:03
Speaker 1: a lot of companies are calling us now beforehand to say,
21:07
Speaker 1: help us understand a new consumer marketplace, which we call
21:12
Speaker 1: Polly cultural, which is you've got so many generations and
21:14
Speaker 1: you've got so many consumers of color. We help companies
21:17
Speaker 1: really understand the lifestyle, the values of behavior of consumers,
21:22
Speaker 1: and then we help them craft business strategies that help
21:26
Speaker 1: speak to people like us, right, people in our community. Um,
21:30
Speaker 1: so they get it because you know what, most companies
21:32
Speaker 1: realize that they were all just changed and they have
21:34
Speaker 1: to do something different, but they don't know how because
21:36
Speaker 1: they haven't had to for so many years they've spoken
21:40
Speaker 1: to a majority white audience. So that's um, that's what
21:44
Speaker 1: aper at times, right in that space. You're like a
21:47
Speaker 1: gatekeeper at times for making sure the brand is correctly
21:52
Speaker 1: effective so it doesn't fall in line with because what
21:55
Speaker 1: you don't know can can come back and bite you.
21:58
Speaker 1: That's a hundred percent correct. That's correct. And the other
22:02
Speaker 1: thing that's really really important is that we are black owned,
22:04
Speaker 1: we are women owned. When you look at our staff,
22:07
Speaker 1: you look at all of the people who are part
22:09
Speaker 1: of the Joy team, we are so diverse. We're diverse
22:13
Speaker 1: in age, we're diverse in nationality, were diverse in in ethnicity,
22:18
Speaker 1: and so we really believe in building a team that
22:21
Speaker 1: represents the world that we live in, so that when
22:23
Speaker 1: we speak to and help companies realize how to do
22:27
Speaker 1: things differently. We're speaking from a position of professional expertise,
22:30
Speaker 1: but we're speaking from a position of personal experience as
22:33
Speaker 1: well well. Experiences everything you have to drive, it drives
22:36
Speaker 1: how people, how much you can get paid, how much success.
22:40
Speaker 1: You look at the resume, your bio. Now you have
22:42
Speaker 1: a background in the relationship with TV one and the
22:44
Speaker 1: digital side of it. Correct, I do, I do. I
22:48
Speaker 1: actually used to leave digital media for TV one. I
22:52
Speaker 1: was were TV one for seven years. I did um.
22:55
Speaker 1: I led the digital media department the last two years
22:58
Speaker 1: and I was there. So I did a out of
23:00
Speaker 1: work early on with TV one, just trying to get
23:04
Speaker 1: a new cable network out in the marketplace. Um and
23:08
Speaker 1: so I did that, uh yeah, for seven years. And
23:11
Speaker 1: you know my background. So people may think now if
23:14
Speaker 1: you see me my title as a as a marketing executive,
23:17
Speaker 1: most people would not know that I'm a former engineer.
23:20
Speaker 1: So I actually started my career twenty five years ago
23:22
Speaker 1: as a computer programmer and a consultant coming in systems integration.
23:28
Speaker 1: If some folks may remember the big Arthur Anderson Company
23:32
Speaker 1: UM and I used to work there and and so
23:34
Speaker 1: the did. The world of digital that we live in
23:37
Speaker 1: now makes so much sense for me because my technical
23:41
Speaker 1: training and background as an engineer was a perfect mix
23:45
Speaker 1: with my U NBA and marketing and now it shows
23:49
Speaker 1: up in that all of the work that we do
23:52
Speaker 1: essentially sits you know, on this in this digital world.
23:56
Speaker 1: So makes a lot of sense for me. No. I
24:00
Speaker 1: had many guests on the show. One of the recent
24:02
Speaker 1: guests I hand on the show was with a a
24:05
Speaker 1: ARP that was one of the platforms that you guys
24:07
Speaker 1: work with as far as marketing. When a when a
24:09
Speaker 1: brand like that comes to you, what are some of
24:11
Speaker 1: the steps or the pitch of the platforms and research
24:15
Speaker 1: says you have to put together so we can move
24:17
Speaker 1: forward in a positive direction. The brand is a r P.
24:20
Speaker 1: And I also was so excited about it. I ranted
24:22
Speaker 1: on my own social media platform as well, Oh I
24:26
Speaker 1: love it. Well, No, I'm so glad, you asked, because
24:28
Speaker 1: in terms of like the type of work we do,
24:30
Speaker 1: how do we even kick that off? So a RP
24:33
Speaker 1: came to us with another organization called AD Council, And
24:36
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, AD Council is one of
24:38
Speaker 1: those organizations that does a lot of work, a lot
24:41
Speaker 1: of p s a s. They stand for things that
24:43
Speaker 1: really have positive impact in the community. So they came
24:46
Speaker 1: to us and they said, look, black women don't invest
24:51
Speaker 1: in retirement the way other people do. And you and
24:54
Speaker 1: I know Rashan like in our community. Do you remember
24:57
Speaker 1: when Chris Rock said there's rich and then is wealthy.
25:01
Speaker 1: But we haven't had the opportunity to amass wealth in
25:04
Speaker 1: our community just given our history. So what's a RP there?
25:08
Speaker 1: They came and they said they want to help create
25:12
Speaker 1: room for more Black women to invest in retirement, to
25:16
Speaker 1: invest in their future and their legacy that they leave
25:19
Speaker 1: for their families. And so they asked us to help
25:23
Speaker 1: them understand what's important to black women. What is it
25:27
Speaker 1: that's preventing black women from investing in retirement when they
25:32
Speaker 1: have they have jobs, they have income, they have four
25:34
Speaker 1: one K plans, And so that was part of the understanding.
25:37
Speaker 1: The first thing that we do is we sit with them.
25:40
Speaker 1: We look at research. A lot of companies invest in data.
25:43
Speaker 1: We hear all this stuff about research, like you know
25:46
Speaker 1: what people do and how they behave, but you don't
25:48
Speaker 1: know why and so we helped them understand like the
25:51
Speaker 1: history of why black women take care of everybody else
25:55
Speaker 1: but don't necessarily take care of themselves, and why we
25:58
Speaker 1: feel it's selfish. You know, really interesting. It's really interesting
26:02
Speaker 1: because any advertiser, they always talk about the female controls
26:05
Speaker 1: the purse of the house, of the buying powers by
26:07
Speaker 1: the female. You know, when the advertisers want to know, Okay,
26:10
Speaker 1: women watching the show, women listening to the show, women
26:15
Speaker 1: of the brand, even professional football while you think they
26:17
Speaker 1: have female sideline reporters now because they're trying to get
26:20
Speaker 1: women to watch football even though everybody's watching it. They
26:24
Speaker 1: want more women because so and so when you when
26:27
Speaker 1: you say something like women, but know when they have
26:30
Speaker 1: all this power, listening power, buying power, you ain't power,
26:34
Speaker 1: participation power. When it calls the retirement, the women don't
26:38
Speaker 1: take care of themselves because, like you said, they're spending
26:40
Speaker 1: money on everybody else, take care of everybody else, branding
26:43
Speaker 1: everybody else, but not branding themselves through retirement. That's pretty amazing.
26:47
Speaker 1: That's so we were able to help create a campaign
26:51
Speaker 1: it encourages black women to invest in themselves. One last request,
26:57
Speaker 1: please send me something I can post about the Tamela
27:00
Speaker 1: Man campaign because she's a wonderful person. Again, the She
27:05
Speaker 1: Heroes campaign I supported. I have six sisters. I supported
27:09
Speaker 1: it on my my, my personal as well as my
27:11
Speaker 1: money making conversation platform. Again, Kelly, long term friend, way
27:15
Speaker 1: back to the BT days. So I will always support
27:18
Speaker 1: any of her brands, but more important to getting to
27:19
Speaker 1: know you and your British journey and your Nigerian journey journey,
27:25
Speaker 1: and and your and just being you or Lena and

Speaker 1: Thank you for having me on your show. And uh,
28:21
Speaker 1: I just listened to the whole part. And I need
28:23
Speaker 1: to step my game up on my own podcast because
28:25
Speaker 1: you're killing it. I mean, I feel like I just
28:28
Speaker 1: got schooled, you know. So it is it isn't honor
28:31
Speaker 1: to be on your show, and um ma'am, I need
28:36
Speaker 1: you as my mentor. Actually at this point, man, please
28:38
Speaker 1: but thank you for that compliment. I will be your mentor.
28:41
Speaker 1: That's why this show because a lot of people have
28:42
Speaker 1: asked me over the years, you know, as an individual.
28:45
Speaker 1: And so I started money Making Conversation in twenty seventeen.
28:48
Speaker 1: I was doing it on my Facebook page. I was
28:50
Speaker 1: doing it on Mondays and people will responding and I
28:53
Speaker 1: was only going to give an hour, and you know,
28:55
Speaker 1: when people respond, they want you to respond back. And
28:57
Speaker 1: so I was sitting there for three hours. And once
28:59
Speaker 1: I stopped managing Steve Harvey, I started to be able
29:01
Speaker 1: to talk and start considering what I wanted my brand
29:03
Speaker 1: to beat, and it was about providing information and mentorship.
29:08
Speaker 1: And so that that that intro did you got know
29:11
Speaker 1: that intro has been written many many years for many celebrities,
29:14
Speaker 1: and I always feel that you are you are a
29:17
Speaker 1: blessing to be on my show. You're providing information to
29:19
Speaker 1: the people who listened to my show, and I want
29:22
Speaker 1: to continue this relationship. Let you know that coming on
29:24
Speaker 1: my show, I gotta do my homework. Tie, So that's
29:27
Speaker 1: all that. I just did my homework, brother, And you're
29:28
Speaker 1: special man. Man. You know, it's like I just feel
29:33
Speaker 1: like there's so much about you, and you know, I'm
29:35
Speaker 1: doing my research about you. You know, literally, as I'm
29:37
Speaker 1: sitting here, I'm really impressed. You know, you're Steve Harvey's
29:41
Speaker 1: a manager, right or ex manager, and you've been with
29:43
Speaker 1: him and he had a radio show. Were you part
29:45
Speaker 1: of that? Well? I created radio show. We created it
29:48
Speaker 1: in two thousand and uh in the l A. I
29:51
Speaker 1: negotiated the largest local UH radio personality deal in the
29:55
Speaker 1: country uh WE Radio one at the time, and then
29:57
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five we would UH. I always
30:00
Speaker 1: felt he was that that show should be Nashal. It
30:02
Speaker 1: always felt that way. In two thousand and five, we
30:05
Speaker 1: moved to New York City and syndicated the show nationally
30:09
Speaker 1: and the rest is history. You know three three number
30:12
Speaker 1: one bestsellers that turned into a movie. Or think like
30:14
Speaker 1: a man and think like a man. Think like a
30:16
Speaker 1: man too. Now manage Stephen A. Smith. He's one of
30:19
Speaker 1: my clients. Uh, the most popular, uh sports media person
30:24
Speaker 1: in the world right there, Steven D. Smith. So I
30:26
Speaker 1: think what I do is not accidental, tie, And I
30:31
Speaker 1: think I saw something about an emmy. Yeah, I have
30:33
Speaker 1: two emmis, uh, two emmis for television and uh and
30:36
Speaker 1: so you know, I look at my life and uh
30:38
Speaker 1: you know my book will be out in January one
30:42
Speaker 1: and it's about not accepting the average. And uh, I don't.
30:45
Speaker 1: I don't come from a family. Nobody rescued my family
30:47
Speaker 1: and moved into a better neighborhood. Nobody told me that
30:51
Speaker 1: that if I went to school that I would one
30:53
Speaker 1: day become uh successful. It was just through hard work time.
30:56
Speaker 1: And now I tried to continue to say that on
31:00
Speaker 1: this show and everybody that meet that I am you
31:04
Speaker 1: through hard work, through proper planning, and I will continue
31:07
Speaker 1: to be you and you can be me. Now well
31:10
Speaker 1: I separate the liners through athletics and physicality that I
31:14
Speaker 1: will not donk like Lebrod. I will not shoot it
31:17
Speaker 1: like Steph Curry. I will not throw the ball like
31:20
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. But I know I can I can think
31:23
Speaker 1: with them, I can compete with them mentally. And so
31:26
Speaker 1: that's the world that a majority of our people out
31:29
Speaker 1: there can compete in. And so when I bring individuals
31:31
Speaker 1: on the show, I just want you to share your story,
31:34
Speaker 1: your ups and downs, because we all have downs and
31:36
Speaker 1: I don't uh. And sometimes when you look at Hollywood,
31:39
Speaker 1: all you see is the magic side of a story,
31:40
Speaker 1: you know, and you can tell a great story in
31:42
Speaker 1: thirty minutes or twenty two minutes if it's a commercial
31:45
Speaker 1: TV or an hour. Go see a movie in three hours,
31:48
Speaker 1: and they go from the beginning, middle, and end. But
31:50
Speaker 1: life is not like that. It's a journey, and my
31:53
Speaker 1: life is still part of that process. I did a
31:56
Speaker 1: I did a video or with Tom Bill You and
32:00
Speaker 1: it went viral, things like and m. One of the
32:03
Speaker 1: things that I talked about in their video was about
32:06
Speaker 1: not restricting one's growth through their age, and it hit
32:10
Speaker 1: home with a lot of people because I've noticed that
32:12
Speaker 1: when people hit a certain age, especially in their fifties,
32:14
Speaker 1: they kind of they're kind of in a race to
32:16
Speaker 1: the retirement line, and and and the feeling that something's
32:20
Speaker 1: gonna happen. And I looked at it, and I looked
32:22
Speaker 1: up what you would get when you retired. Despite all
32:24
Speaker 1: the money I've made in my life, if I retired
32:27
Speaker 1: at the age of sixt or six, the check I
32:29
Speaker 1: would give between eight hundred dollars more. Wow, all them all,
32:35
Speaker 1: and I made some money. Now time I made some money,
32:38
Speaker 1: that's the check I would get, you know. So, so
32:40
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what are people racing two
32:43
Speaker 1: to retire if that's your pot of goal. And so
32:47
Speaker 1: if that's your pot of goal, because you've been misinformed
32:50
Speaker 1: and you've been misled by some some ill informed level
32:53
Speaker 1: of propaganda people out there talking about they got they got,
32:56
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna take care of them, and that's not true.
32:58
Speaker 1: And so my whole part and purpose of this show
33:02
Speaker 1: is to provide that that negative education so you can
33:05
Speaker 1: realize that if fifty you can still reach your dreams
33:07
Speaker 1: at sixty, you can reach reach your dream at seventy.
33:09
Speaker 1: Don't stop life. Life provides opportunities. So that's my tone,
33:14
Speaker 1: that's that's the purpose of why I do money making conversations.
33:17
Speaker 1: And when I bring an individual like you who is
33:19
Speaker 1: different from me, who speaks different from me, who lives
33:21
Speaker 1: a different walk of life, but who share similar stories
33:25
Speaker 1: of success, similar stories of setbacks. And I just want
33:28
Speaker 1: to let people know who come on, who listens to
33:30
Speaker 1: the show, that can be you. Your success story can
33:33
Speaker 1: be motivation as long as you realize how hard this
33:35
Speaker 1: young man is working, how committed to proper planning this
33:38
Speaker 1: young man has. That's the story that I want to
33:41
Speaker 1: be told on this show, and people deliver it on
33:43
Speaker 1: the regular Brasis. And that's why when we sit around
33:46
Speaker 1: and I look at the various people who can come
33:47
Speaker 1: on my show, I can't keep telling the same story.
33:52
Speaker 1: You know. You know what, I'll jump in here because
33:55
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing for any viewer or
33:59
Speaker 1: listener out there is to have passion and motivation, get
34:03
Speaker 1: up with the right tone. And you know, for myself personally,
34:08
Speaker 1: you know, I wake up every morning early and I
34:11
Speaker 1: get my thoughts collected and U I get my goals
34:15
Speaker 1: planned out, you know, every day, every week, every month,
34:18
Speaker 1: every year. You know, it's not just a thought, it's
34:20
Speaker 1: a dream and a dream that I'm going to make reality.
34:24
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I think anybody has the chance
34:28
Speaker 1: to to to meet their goals as long as they
34:32
Speaker 1: move in the right direction. And you know, it's set
34:34
Speaker 1: expectations too, you know. For myself, you know it's it's
34:39
Speaker 1: I'm I'm success um goal oriented. You know, it's not
34:43
Speaker 1: really about the money. It's really about the passion and
34:46
Speaker 1: what really drives me. And I think anybody that wants
34:51
Speaker 1: to do anything with their life, they have to find
34:53
Speaker 1: the right passion and that's where they're going to meet success.
34:56
Speaker 1: It's really what you're saying that I always tell people's
34:58
Speaker 1: doubt about the money, it's abo the opportunity. You you
35:01
Speaker 1: push the opportunity and planned opportunity and guess what you
35:04
Speaker 1: make money. And so that is what you just said.
35:07
Speaker 1: It is what I believe in, and that's why I
35:08
Speaker 1: said that when I wanted you to. I just want
35:10
Speaker 1: to let everybody know that. You know, I get up
35:13
Speaker 1: at four fifteen every day. That's a step on Saturday
35:16
Speaker 1: and Sunday, and so i'm early because I do collect
35:18
Speaker 1: my thoughts. People said, what are you doing. I said, well,
35:20
Speaker 1: I get up. You know, I'm not happy to get up.
35:22
Speaker 1: So I'm just collecting my thoughts and I've learned that
35:25
Speaker 1: getting up at four o'clock four fifteen and getting up
35:27
Speaker 1: at six changes the whole approach to my day. So
35:30
Speaker 1: you're saying a lot of things that I've been preaching
35:32
Speaker 1: on this podcast and the syndicated radio network for the
35:36
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and we've never met. Yep, that's
35:41
Speaker 1: it's weird. But you know what those a lot of
35:43
Speaker 1: people have this mindset where they think that that they'll
35:47
Speaker 1: do it in the future. People don't have the mindset
35:49
Speaker 1: that their life's really running out. You know, life is
35:52
Speaker 1: a gift and every day you wake up, that's your gift.
35:55
Speaker 1: So use it to the fullest extent. You know. Even
35:57
Speaker 1: with this conversation that we're having, you know, it's we're
36:00
Speaker 1: gonna take some people out there what it takes to
36:02
Speaker 1: actually success. You know, I woke up early this morning,
36:04
Speaker 1: just like you went to the gym. I'm currently on
36:07
Speaker 1: a walk right now because I want to put that
36:08
Speaker 1: out in my my goal sheet. So as we're we're talking,
36:11
Speaker 1: I'm walking. You know, I'm burning some calories right because
36:13
Speaker 1: that's my goals. And um, you know, people people don't
36:17
Speaker 1: really have the mentality they think, you know, I'll just
36:19
Speaker 1: do it tomorrow or I'll do it the next day. No,
36:21
Speaker 1: the time is right now, don't wait. You know, if
36:25
Speaker 1: you have something that you want to do, put it,
36:28
Speaker 1: put it on paper, figure out how long it's gonna take,
36:31
Speaker 1: and then you know, check around, find out who's doing
36:33
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Do the research, just like what you've done.
36:36
Speaker 1: You know you've done your research. I'm embarrassed that I
36:38
Speaker 1: haven't done all my research. I called my publicist this
36:40
Speaker 1: morning and I said, tell me about Rashan, And then
36:43
Speaker 1: I started looking at you, looking you up, and then
36:46
Speaker 1: you start telling me about me. I'm like, dang, okay,
36:48
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta get on my A game. I
36:49
Speaker 1: gotta get on my A game to be like you.
36:52
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm I'm, you know, ecstatic that we're
36:55
Speaker 1: having this conversation because I think that, you know, I'll
36:58
Speaker 1: learn some game for you, you'll learn something from me
37:00
Speaker 1: absolute And you know, I think that I'm not sure
37:03
Speaker 1: where you want to go with everything, but this is
37:05
Speaker 1: your show. Well, first of all, you're going right where
37:08
Speaker 1: I want you to go. You have a story to tale.
37:10
Speaker 1: I can tell the motivational and information you've You've dropped
37:13
Speaker 1: some nuggets on this show. And those are the type
37:15
Speaker 1: of nuggets that I want all my guests to drop.
37:17
Speaker 1: But you on Fire to Date, my friend, uh, you
37:19
Speaker 1: host and created a podcast All Tied Up. Tell us
37:22
Speaker 1: about it and the why that you created them. A
37:25
Speaker 1: lot of popular names on it that I'm from there with.
37:27
Speaker 1: Talk to us about All Tied Up. Well, you know,
37:31
Speaker 1: in the beginning, um, the podcast was well, it seemed
37:35
Speaker 1: like the right thing to do because I have the
37:37
Speaker 1: relationships with a ton of celebrities and a lot of
37:40
Speaker 1: people are so scared to ask questions. But they don't
37:42
Speaker 1: realize that these celebrities are just like me and you
37:44
Speaker 1: without being a celebrity. They're just normal people that have
37:47
Speaker 1: a story. And I was telling my publicist this morning
37:50
Speaker 1: that you know t Bos, She's the only person I
37:52
Speaker 1: know that reaches out to me just to see how
37:53
Speaker 1: I'm doing. No, no, no expectations, no nothing. But people
37:57
Speaker 1: don't know her stories about having sickle cell and the
38:00
Speaker 1: business of you know, where she where she came from.
38:03
Speaker 1: And this is what the podcast is really about. It's
38:06
Speaker 1: about celebrities and significant and and and and big personality
38:11
Speaker 1: people to talk about their business, where they came, where
38:14
Speaker 1: they came from, who they are where they're going, and
38:17
Speaker 1: asking the questions you know that are are you know
38:20
Speaker 1: that that are that are going in through your brain
38:22
Speaker 1: and my brain at the same time, and ask him
38:23
Speaker 1: because maybe you're you don't want to ask him, you
38:25
Speaker 1: don't want to offend them. Just ask him a question.
38:27
Speaker 1: You know. I had teabots crying on my TV show.
38:30
Speaker 1: I had a guy that you know, his name's Mike.
38:33
Speaker 1: You know, it's caveat Gold, you know, and he owns
38:35
Speaker 1: one of the biggest Canada's companies, and he's crying on
38:37
Speaker 1: the show talking about, you know, how he can't give
38:39
Speaker 1: certain product away because it's illegal now, and how he
38:42
Speaker 1: can't help cancer victim. I mean, there's a lot of
38:45
Speaker 1: really good, you know, conversation that we have that people
38:48
Speaker 1: need to know. And I think that, you know, it's
38:51
Speaker 1: just um, it's it's it's a different type of podcast
38:53
Speaker 1: because first off, I had no idea what I was doing,
38:55
Speaker 1: but I jumped into it. You know, I was so scared,
38:59
Speaker 1: you know, talking in front of the mike and didn't
39:00
Speaker 1: know what I was doing and you know how I
39:02
Speaker 1: was gonna sound. And but the thing about it is
39:04
Speaker 1: I did it, and I think that people are going
39:07
Speaker 1: to get a lot of good insight information that I'm
39:10
Speaker 1: just a normal person just like them. You know, I
39:12
Speaker 1: have the same kind of fears that they have. I'm
39:15
Speaker 1: just living my life because I have this dream that
39:17
Speaker 1: one day I'm gonna become somebody and discover myself and
39:21
Speaker 1: people will follow that journey with me. Man, I want
39:25
Speaker 1: to thank you for coming on my show. I appreciate you.
39:27
Speaker 1: I really do, because you know, this is probably the
39:30
Speaker 1: most honest show I've had, because you as you as
39:34
Speaker 1: at the very beginning, you say, Man, I'm finding out
39:36
Speaker 1: about you as we speak, and that was just you know,
39:39
Speaker 1: which is really cool, you know, because of a lot
39:41
Speaker 1: because a lot of things in life about what I've
39:43
Speaker 1: accomplished I pushed aside and I just moved forward. Because
39:46
Speaker 1: I'm not a guy who keeps looking at my success.
39:48
Speaker 1: I want to know what the opportunity to present for
39:50
Speaker 1: me and how I can change the future because I'm
39:52
Speaker 1: about I'm about changing the future. And if you come

46:05
Speaker 1: be a you know, integration for our city, you know,
46:07
Speaker 1: and show you know, people that not from Chicago. You
46:10
Speaker 1: know what I mean that it's not always as bad
46:12
Speaker 1: as the same. There are good parts that are you know,
46:14
Speaker 1: great people here as well. You know, you're just trying
46:16

46:18
Speaker 1: much people who can relate to our story. You know. Me,
46:21
Speaker 1: I'm definitely a survivor from mental illness issues, you know,

Speaker 1: you know, just be you know leaders, you know that,
46:46
Speaker 1: and just motivate our people, you know, rather through the music,
46:48

46:50
Speaker 1: to see our growth. We've been on this, uh like

47:07
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta do it. Well. It's really important.
47:10
Speaker 1: It's really important that you guys are speaking this way
47:12
Speaker 1: because these shows are you called reality series or documents,
47:16
Speaker 1: they're really commercials. The platforms too, you know, grow your brain,
47:20
Speaker 1: promote your brand if you have if you have a
47:22
Speaker 1: product you want to say, you get it out on
47:24

47:58

48:11
Speaker 1: that mean? Because you know LA is where you gotta be. No,
48:18
Speaker 1: l A completely completely the uh by ultimate goal. You
48:21
Speaker 1: know we have my brother about leaving Chicago is on
48:24
Speaker 1: the top of the list for opportunities. Hello, yeah, I'm
48:27
Speaker 1: still here wait knowing your brother because I just know
48:31
Speaker 1: that I just know that you know, when you're doing that,
48:34
Speaker 1: you're taking the acting classes. What when you say acting
48:36
Speaker 1: to pursuing it, just give us a little more audition
48:38
Speaker 1: other than the roles that you're playing. Are the are
48:41
Speaker 1: the are the series of Black Ink Chicago? What are
48:43
Speaker 1: the things? When you say you're pursuing it, what do you?
48:46
Speaker 1: What do you? What experiences are you? Are? You are
48:49
Speaker 1: pursuing it? To grow that, to grow that end of
48:51
Speaker 1: your business, because I know that four his hip hop career,
48:54
Speaker 1: you got five albums, he's dropped, so he's in that lane,
48:57
Speaker 1: he's he's he's rolling. So on the acting in where
49:00
Speaker 1: you at? Oh, well, for me, of course, action classes
49:04
Speaker 1: a must. I'm constantly trying to master that craft even
49:07
Speaker 1: if I'm at home doing uh practice of myself self.
49:11
Speaker 1: Take anything I can do to keep better in at
49:13
Speaker 1: the craft. Right now, I'm participating in three or four
49:17
Speaker 1: different on stage slaves. Uh. That's to constantly get comfortable
49:20
Speaker 1: with being uncomfortable when you step in front of that
49:23
Speaker 1: live crowd and the live audience and you have to
49:27
Speaker 1: sell them the moment in the dream, basically believe in
49:30
Speaker 1: the character. For me, that's a humble and experience as
49:33
Speaker 1: an actor. I think transitioning from stage to on camera
49:37
Speaker 1: that has made it easier for me to do or
49:40
Speaker 1: on camera actor because there's nothing like being in front
49:42
Speaker 1: of the live audience and uh, you don't get a
49:45
Speaker 1: second take when there's a live crowd. So it pushes
49:50
Speaker 1: me to really go home and study my line, study
49:52
Speaker 1: my craft, study my character. Uh, and for me, it's
49:55
Speaker 1: become fun, it's become a passion. Um. That's why I'm
49:58
Speaker 1: always in the gym. That's where I'm am was on
49:59
Speaker 1: top of my my constantly want to uh be able
50:03
Speaker 1: to deliver my character and deliver this. Uh. You know,
50:07
Speaker 1: my skill sets that the maximum ability. So for me,

Speaker 1: it's just been constant reinforcement and hitting the pavement right now,
50:14
Speaker 1: taking on each and every opportunity that's given to me.
50:16

51:58

Speaker 1: get in there and eight hours a day for that's all.
52:07
Speaker 1: We have to get one year. And I'm not engaging
52:09
Speaker 1: you to do this. I'm just telling you what we
52:11
Speaker 1: have to do as leaders. We have to commit our
52:14
Speaker 1: time elsewhere and here you too talk dude. Y'all, y'all,
52:19
Speaker 1: y'all some bad boys. Man, y'all awesome bad boys. I'm
52:22
Speaker 1: just gonna let you all know that. Thank you, brother.
52:26
Speaker 1: We're just trying to continue to grow. Um. Like you said,
52:29
Speaker 1: you know us going to Camp Chicago has been a
52:31
Speaker 1: journey in itself. Uh. You know, I like a lot
52:35
Speaker 1: of youth today, they don't have opportunities we had getaways.
52:40
Speaker 1: Conversations like this is a reminder of the things that
52:42
Speaker 1: we do daily. Uh. You know, my brother is a
52:45
Speaker 1: witness who I was working on at Turning to School
52:47
Speaker 1: for six years, working with the youth of Chicago. Continue
52:50
Speaker 1: to create constant programs to trying to continue to grow. UH.
52:55
Speaker 1: So you know, this type of conversation will help us.
52:58
Speaker 1: We have these kids at an earlier age avenue will
53:02
Speaker 1: success UH and learning that every kid is not going
53:05
Speaker 1: to be an athlete. Every kid is not gonna, you know,
53:07
Speaker 1: exhale in school. So conversations like this, we'll teach our
53:11
Speaker 1: kids about early entrepreneurship. Some of these kids are brilliant
53:14
Speaker 1: to where they can come to that out of high
53:15
Speaker 1: school on their own business. And these are type of
53:17
Speaker 1: things I want to teach them that will help them
53:19
Speaker 1: straight away from the street, like UH straad away from
53:21
Speaker 1: the negative activities that they have to participate in just
53:24
Speaker 1: to get back. UM. So the younger we could teach
53:27
Speaker 1: them about UH leadership and entrepreneurship and being their own
53:31
Speaker 1: leaders in bostics. I think that's just gonna what's going
53:34
Speaker 1: to help turn to Podgora Land because every kid wants
53:37
Speaker 1: to either be a rapper or athlete because they believe
53:39
Speaker 1: like that's the way out. And I want to give
53:41
Speaker 1: them the jewels and the tools to be successful way
53:44
Speaker 1: earlier than what we were. It took us, we eventually
53:46
Speaker 1: figured it out. But if I could give that to
53:48
Speaker 1: a fifteen year old, a peaking year seventy years the
53:51
Speaker 1: holts that I have now, I think that's gonna make
53:53
Speaker 1: a way bigger impact, uh than a lot of other
53:55
Speaker 1: things that we can do. This is awesome. Uh, first ball,
54:00
