• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you nephew before we got on air, and go
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: look at it man. I hope you don't think you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: just just saw me for a short term. It's not
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a one off. This is not a one off, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that's important. I'm from Houston, Texas. I'm originally from there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I moved here to Atlanta in two thousand and seven,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and my headquarters is in Atlanta, so you have access
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to qualifying. I'm here, you know, one of us. Now,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I drove by the game on Sunday and I saw
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that many black people went to Atlanta
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: factor game. I was. I was actually stunned that way.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: This is a black game. This is I feel like
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I was an HBCU game black people, and so I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: know about the Atlanta. Now let's talk about you, your career,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: your brand. Now you say shifting music, talk about that first,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: because that's that's that's that's really your base. Okay. Shifting
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: music simply means connecting with your purpose and understanding that, uh,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: your gift will make room for you. And I've been
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: able to be in the music entertainment industry for over
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: twenty years and to now make music that is going
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to impact people in a more positive way, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: being a teenager myself with my group members, we made
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: songs that just we're you know, real life situations, um relationships,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: fantasies at at sometimes. However, now understanding that I have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a generation that's behind me looking and watching every step,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I'm very very connected to our young man and the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: youth men's movement, and so everything that I do, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that my son, who is fifteen
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: years old, as well as this next generation are fully
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: fully equipped UM to be able to sustain themselves. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: one of the most influential pieces of information is music.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And so all the music that I make, I wanted
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to be uplifting, empowering, UM and feel with a lot
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of love and passion. Are we talking I want to say,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: are we talking gospel inspirational? Well, I just say that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it's inspirational, Okay. I grew up in the church, so
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that's always a part um And so no matter where
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I go, even when we were doing when I was
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: doing the R and B stuff with my group, there
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: were always a gospel inspirational field in all of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: ones well music, no matter what it was. So that's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: always a part of me. But today my music is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I would just corner as it. It's it's from my heart.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It's it's the gift that God put inside of me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So sometimes it may come out as a love song,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it may come out as a full gospel song, but
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: then it may just come out as something that's just
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: inspiring individuals. It's really interesting. I know that I'm still
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: living a life of My life is changing every day
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and people always marvel at how I'm able to reinvent myself.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people call me a renaissance
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: man because I am able to do a lot of
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: things simultaneously, and I do them well. I put focus
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: on each one. I don't just do things just to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: be doing things. I'm looking at a renaissance man here,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a multitasking individual. When did that start
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to evolve into your into your being? Q Parker when
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I was seventeen years old. Uh. I Sometimes I call
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Puff Puffy a prophet because the very first words you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: heard from any One twelve song was I thought I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: told you that we won't stop. And I don't know
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: if he realized what he planted. However, that has been
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my motto. You know, um, the grind continues, it, it
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't stop. I believe that, you know, God has blessed
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: me with many talents, and I'd be a fool to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just focus on just one. And a lot of times
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: when you do that, people will try to box you in,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and so when they see you in other fastest, they'll say, well,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: aren't you just the single guy? That's what you think
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that's what they want you to be. That's what people
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: wanted to have a comfort zone to communicate with. You
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: know that when your celebrity, when you reach a certain status,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: people they have to they have to give up a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: certain energy to come talk to you now based on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the energy that they know. Now when you start veering
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: out there, that's a whole new lane of information they
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: gotta learned about. It makes them uncomfortable sometimes absolutely, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: so know that the negativity is really tied to them
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: trying to approach you. So you have to realize that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a plus anti MICUs because you really
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: want your brand to be exposed. What people understand that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you are not limited what you're talking about right now.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And that's why I was when I was just going
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: through your website. We're gonna talk about that in a minute.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But when I was when I was just evaluating you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and they was talking about bringing you on the show.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It reminds me a lot of me because of the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: fact that I was a real talent to do. Couldn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: sing that I'm not gonna go down that lane. It's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's deep, but it would never come out of you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It would never ever come out. And the thing about
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: this that because it's like when you when you have
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: when you when you're successful in the lane, I was
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a stand up coming very successful and so you're a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: very successful sinker. So you there's an intimidation, there's a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: but alone the way you are doing the things that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you are doing now, you were doing when you were singing,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: like you said, you alone. You've been in the business.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: When did at one point you said, I know I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: can do this except me for who I am. I'm
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: going out there. A lot of times you don't really
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: fully engage with yourself right until there are some trials
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and there are some storms. And about seven years ago,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the the most trying time in my life and then
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: my family's life, really really set me down and I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: had to really look at myself and and and assess
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the man that I was looking at in the mirror.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And I had to have some really tough conversations like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: who are you? What are you gonna stand for? Are
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you ready to really accept the responsibility that God has
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: called you to be a father, a husband, or a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: leader and really tap into your true purpose, not just
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the gift, but what's really really inside a U Q,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: what what is your legacy going to say? Is it
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: just going to stop at you know he's a member
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of one twelve and the Grammys, or what is it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: going to say? And at that moment, I realized, now
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I need to turn the chapter. I need to turn
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the page not only fight for my family back and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: fight for my marriage, but also set a new foundation
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of who is this real? Q Parker? And see i've i've.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I had been just giving them maybe a small percentage musically,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but then now so excited because I get to say,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in addition to the records and the music, he's also
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a philanthropy, is also an active He's also an entrepreneur.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: He's also this, this, this, this, this, It makes you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: feel good. It's very exciting because I now get to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: really operate fully at optimum level and not just a portion.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: We know what this is would really excites you. You
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you're feel in control. See See the thing about it
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is that it was a successful stand up comic I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: was only based on I had to go into a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: club to perform. When you're an entrepreneur, you can sit down,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you can plan, you can get the right people around
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you playing a strategy, and you can move forward and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you can see your work changing even if it's just
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one person. It don't have they just changing one person,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: then one person becomes two people in three and four
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: or five. It's not ten thousand people. Five people see
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that that that's that's a whole scale. That involves a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: lot of people who have to make a judgment call
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on whether you can perform that task of drawing those people. Now,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: these ideas that I'm talking about, are it just dreams
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that you had or you work to sit down with
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: your team and you say what what what are close
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to your brand that we should impact? Because that's really
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. This is your brand being extended.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So I've talked about I've talked about the the Q
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Parker Caroline, we talked about the My Ladies benefits are
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: right now we'll talk about the father and son because
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you said you have a fifteen year so this is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: really close to you. Absolutely, let's talk about the brunch.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So the brunch is it's this father's son sand Cofa
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: brunch and it's an opportunity for sand Cofa explain that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: sant Kofa is Africa and for just reach back, give
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: reach back and grab making an opportunity for the next
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: generation behind. That's why they When you look at the logo,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the bird is looking backwards. It's like, I'm not gonna
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: leave you back and thank you. Cute. You have a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: great team, man, I have a great team sitting in
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the room. The bird gotta look back now, bird flying flying,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: looking back, and he's starring. But you're looking back, man,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can that bird? You can't. So it's it's an opportunity
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: for fathers to come out with their sons or even
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: uncles um with their nephews, or even if there's just
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a man in his neighborhood who sees that a young
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: man is without a male male figure in his life.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: This is an opportunity for you then to just come
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: in Rome and man, we just love on each other, man,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: because I believe that as men, one of the first
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: things we miss out on is affirming each other. We
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: look to women a lot of time to tell us
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: how great we are and how how we are just this,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but I think the very first line is I gotta
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: know that my brother appreciates me, which is why Brothers
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: United of Atlanta is very very dear to me. Man,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Because we want everybody to know every man. I had
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to know that you're not on an island on your
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: on your own man. And no matter what you've gone through,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: there's another brother that looks just like you, has a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: similar story, and who can really relate to what you're
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: going through. Man. So all of these things are just
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: very very passionate to me, which in this this l
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: piece really is look at my notes. Just go look
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: at my notes. I can't believe you just looked at
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: my notes. And just even I panted to ask that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: he gonna look down and get going. And that male
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: piece you want to said that, and the mail piece
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: used have been smoothed, but you look down with oh,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that, and the mail piece. You know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something so funny. I can't stand
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: entertainers growing up in media training right right, the rule
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: number one is always go in with a mission and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: get out what you want to get out. And so
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: if you've got three minutes, you gotta have one loan
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: run on sentence and just get all your information in it. Right,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And so before you stop me, I gotta say and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: wrapping up, we got a minute left, wrapping up there, Okay,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the Bridge Project. Um, that is something that is is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: so impactful to me, is going to impact the world.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It's an all male project that is going to blend
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the world of gospel and urban mainstream. So many times
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: there's this divide between these two genres specifically, and um,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this project is going to alleviate that. It's going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: show that these worlds can coexist and that they are
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one and the same. They they they support each other one,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: they are influenced by each other. They have the same demographics.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And so imagine your most notable gospel male singers and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: your most notable R and B male singers together on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: one project. And so they are fifty five men representing.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And when you said Jason's Lyrics, the last time something
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: like this happened was on the Jason's Lyrics soundtrack where
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they have a song called you will know that I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in that video. I'm in that video Fast Freddie is
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in that video. I know, yes, yes, okay. So the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: so the beauty about this one is never have there
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: been a blending of gospel and R and B. And
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: so we have all you will know we are the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: world on this bridge project called I Need You that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: has forty three men representing and then the remaining songs
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: on the album are duos A Gospel Guy and A
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: R and B Guy. So The Bridge Project will be
• 13:05

  Speaker 1: let's talk about let's talk about hot all started for you. Uh.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I read a little bit of bout it, but your
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: bio and the whole process before we talk about the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Lebron James relationship and the CBD and all that stuff.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Talk about your start, gosh, oh man. UM my start
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: started when I was in I guess I should say, Um,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be a rapper and I could. Yes, Yes,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: during my time, Yes, I was very talented, and I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: ran away from home to be this rapper. I took
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: myself out of Christian school and wrote myself into public school.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: UM ended up pregnant a year later, however, but I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: graduated early. UM still continued to do music after I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: graduated from high school, and I rubbed shoulders and did
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: music with some of the industry's most influential people. Um.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I think I even did a cipher back with Kobe Bryant.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Back in the day when I was rapping, we used
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to do ciphers and stuff after the game. And UM,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I did a little bit of you know, regular extra
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: work Steve Harvey show, Mosha City of Angels, but did
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff. So I've always been
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: in the sports and entertainment industry. Was just kind of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: my thing. And then UM, I decided to after that,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: just moved to Atlanta with my two year old sons.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: We tracked across the United States and the dead of December,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I moved to Atlanta and wanted to wrap UM still
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: there because it was the mecca of music back then.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And after pursuing that for a little while, UM worked
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: with like Block Entertainment, which is Candy's Um, you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: um daughter's father. I think I even had sat down
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: with Slim from Cash Money. He transferred my adat music
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: over to a CD back then. But it just wasn't
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: The industry for women now wasn't what it was back then,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So I had to kind of like reassess and switch gears,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and I got involved in one of my other passions,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: which was sports and entertainment. UM. I ended up trying
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a little stab at Corporate America with Fidelity Investments for
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a little while. That just wasn't Being in a nine
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to five, working nine or five in office every day
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: really wasn't my thing. So I got involved in the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: UM in the service industry, and I bar attended worked
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: at six eighty the Fan, and I pushed myself into
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: becoming a sports and entertainment journalist. UM never had any
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: experience doing that. I can't even tell you how it happened.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I just know I submitted a story to the Up magazine,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and then the next time I had threecovery right after that,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: after me and then after that, then I went over
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to North Carolina and started working for an NBA team.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of like the custom on how everything
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: came into fruition for me, for um um more than
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: an athlete, um lifestyle, for the culture and everything like that.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But that's a short that's a short, short, short version,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: because you climbed a lot of years there. You know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you went from running away from my home, you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: got pregnant. You know, you say nothing of a boy
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: eron Harrington, you know, because he's my boy. I was
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: really always naming the boy about Mario William you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: all these significant names you could be dropping, you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: in this interview, make this interview bigger, you know, But
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: she's gonna leave all these important names out of this
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: whole process. So I see. So I was really I gotta,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta hype you. That's what this that's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the purpose of this interview, This interview is hyping you.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: You know, here's a funny thing. But what did you
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: what you said you mentioned to Steve Harvest sitcom you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you do some things to the Steve Harve sitcom. Yes,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I was. I was one of the regular extras on

  Speaker 1: this show. You know something, you know something on the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: reel on the reel, on the reel, on the reel.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: We met because you know, because I managed Steve Steve
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Harder for for for two thousand and I used to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: always be on the set. I used to always be

• 22:01
  Speaker 1: of aggressive, but you have to be, you know, because
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: especially with you being you know, an extra, you know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: sometimes you you you're just disconnected and people to people
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: just see you just out there as as you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you know, being extra. Sometimes it's so far off the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: beating tracked. It it's really can be just so people

  Speaker 1: so disrespected sometimes. And so I remember when I met
• 22:28

  Speaker 1: welcome to the money Making Conversations, Rick Fox, Hello, thank you,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for having me. Hey, Rick, this man.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: You went to North Carolina, right, Okay, So Tarrya Tarya
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: baby doing your thing back then? Now where did where
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: did the acting? Papa? Would your degree? Would you do
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: academic training and drama or something? When did acting? Papa?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: What would your degree? Player? Carolina? Yeah, I was in
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: college from seven to ninety one, and at that time
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I started off as an econ major for a season
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and it was very taxing and I did well enough
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that semester, but I realized I didn't have between you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: basketball practices under Dean Smith and academics at Carolina as
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: well as a social life. It was something that I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: knew was gonna be hard to manage all three. At
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the same time, I was starting to blossom as a
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: an NBA player potentially, so finding you know, what I
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: would do in my career after basketball. I knew I would.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I knew i'd be in the NBA, and so it
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: was an opportunity to look at what was that major
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that I could take that I could transition out of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the career in sports in two So I figured, you know, look,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: radio television emotional pictures was something from an entertainment standpoint
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I'd be able to use as a broadcaster, as someone
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that would be maybe involved in television in some capacity
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: in the future. So I studied radio television motion pictures
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: from the communication standpoint, and in my senior year it
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: took a couple of classes because I was ahead. I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: was you know, you don't hear that a lot senior year. Yeah,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: years in college man graduated. Uh you know, I come
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: from the air where you didn't really leave school unless
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you were Michael Jordan's and then you didn't even leave
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: until after your junior year. So I took a drama class,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: which was a part of the elective as a radio
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: television and most picture I took an art class. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: it was in that moment when I took those two classes,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I realized that there was an artist in me, a
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: creative side that I didn't know existed. And if I
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: hadn't taken him my senior year, I probably would have
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: my degree probably would have been in drama. But I
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: finished and graduated, and I knew at that point I
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to explore it some more. And so, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: as I started my NBA career, about the second year
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: into my career, an opportunity to audition for a movie
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: came up until I went I went in that direction
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and I made an attempt to try and be hired
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: as an actor. We have my friend, um, you know
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I have. I'm speaking to Rick Fox. Uh uh, NBA champion.
• 31:37

  Speaker 1: your here nowadays, So what do you say to that?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Is that is that smart basketball? Or or is that
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: just the way the game is nowadays? It's the game today.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I come from a different era. We you know, we
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: did that. We shot threes, but we didn't shoot you know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: fifty four threes in the game. Yeah, strategic three, strategic three. Yeah,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: today's today's game is just a different brand of basketball.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: And it's not to say that it's not, um the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: way to play the game. I don't. I choose not
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to really judge this error's basketball or something. That's not
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: what I'm judging it. Rick, I'm judging r Sean McDonald
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: judging it. Man. If you do see these guys, Man,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: come on, I see these guys. He's definitely behind this
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: back together a nice lottle eighteen seventy foot jumper step back. Yeah,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I know, I know it's it's put it this way.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Taken me a lot of years to to to tune in,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: uh and accept that as as you know, the brand
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: of basketball that I would I would coach or I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: would I would want to play. Um, it must be fun,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, and very rewarding financially two guys, because statistically
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you can see that they can put up a lot
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: of statistics volume volume. But is it winning? Is it winning?
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Is it winning basketball? In some cases it's been winning
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: basketball for some teams. But I think when you have
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: thirty teams trying to do the same thing, not every
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: player is capable of shooting from the range that we
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: see step shooting from now, or that we even see
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: one or two big men shooting from. But everyone he like,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you're passing the ball on the other side of the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: shooting Yeah, trade king, you get the ball my error
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: in my area, you could take the shot from that distance.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: They don't miss. You were sitting on the bench the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: rest of the game. I mean, I mean, y'all crazy.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: You know. I'm based in Atlanta, basic uson, So I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: always have interesting stories because I always remember Game seven
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: when I used to lost the Golden State. They missed
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: like twenty seven three pointers in a row. Something like
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: it something incredible, you know all that you just drive
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: it to go, just driveing to go later, just just
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: determined to hit three points in law. It was just
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the most most tragic thing I ever saw in my life,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: because you know that was that was a series where
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Chris Paul was his handy and I six or seven,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Charles Brock to tell you, you know, and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: live and die by the by the by the jump shot,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the teams. I've seen teams that have the teams assistently
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and it really is. And so so now let's go
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: over to the active because I wanted to talk about
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: that a little bit because I became a fan and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you know, when you look at people, you you see
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the talents and you're a good looking guy and then
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: you a talent athlete when you made your you know,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I know the first appearance in acting, it really caught
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: my eye was Oz you know use the show. Yeah, man,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, you I was like you, you
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: look like you look like a basketball player that needed
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to be in jail, right, you know what I'm saying
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: because you know, Antana a great cast of actors in
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that in that TV series that kind of broke the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: cable mode, unlocked cable television for its grittiness. I mean,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: we need to watch cable the day you see and here,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's nudities, language, the graphic content, and they pushed,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: they pushed the boundaries and odds was pretty much that
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: first show some twenty something years ago that did that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: And uh, I didn't know it at the time, but
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I was a part of, you know, something iconic and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and it was it was. It was amazing to work
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: with the talent, talented actors that if you look at
• 35:59

• 44:11
  Speaker 1: let's talk about your career, your life. You're an HBCU
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: grad correct an Absolutely, I love it. I love it.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Let let's talk about that. Because a lot of my
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of my stations that care of my show
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: HBCU schools, and so whenever I identified guests who is
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: an HBCU grad, I always like to bring up the
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: significance of what hbcuh an attending an HBCU school shaped
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: your life academically and socially. Can you expound on that?
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: It's becub of the easiest question you can ask me. UM,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: don't tell on the anti in particular. UM, I actually
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: is very interesting scenario. I got in there, umption because
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I'm still that of high school in New York, and UM,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I had teachers who are extreme we proactive, UH. In
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the process of me, you know, coming into the school
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and realizing things like you know, they called me out,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: they said, hey, hard you answer all my questions and
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: classes and you get seventies on my test was going on,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: and they took the time out to study with me
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and work with me. They were very intentional about my success,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: and I was not accustomed to that um and the
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: high school. I went to New York too, and as
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: a result, I waited in three years with honors after
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: coming in on academic location, And that was completely a
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: by product of the faculty. They're seeing my potential and
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: then on addition to that giving me opportunities, giving me,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: giving me opportunity, money, you know everything. So you know,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I will Amy will hold the special places my off forever.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of people feel the same
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: about their HBCUs. You know, HPC user known for their
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: their mighty bands and the athletics and athletic programs and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: from the academic side that they're not getting credit for that.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: And when I think of programs like you know, empowered,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: which is to me, is is a form of academic
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: because it's based on information and when you provide people
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: with information, you're educating them. And so tell us about
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: what is Empowered. Interestingly enough, like I said, it's just
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: it's great that you framed it almost is an educational offering,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: because this is our segue into how I believe we
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: can get people civically engaged. Empowers an applications free and
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: itself E M P O w r D for anyone
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: who wants to download it on Android or iOS. And
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: what it does is it allows you to partake and
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: engaging elected officials by having one access to them, but
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: then to understanding what they do. Um what we try
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: to do is focused on the advocacy components of civic engagement.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of time and effort is a
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: society goes into the campaign, and I think that's great.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I think we want to get the right people elected
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: to represent us and invest in that. But what they
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: do in office, the things that we complain about lobbyists doing,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: and you know, large companies and organizations controlling our government,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that's the advocacy component. And we really need to play
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: a stronger role of the society and engaging officials while
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: they're in office in order to change our economic circumstances
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: in many cases, so that's where power plays a role
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: within the access in education and in the facilitation of
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: engagement between constituents and elected officials. Elected officials. Now let's
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: go back a little bit here, because I got it.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Because when we start talking about politics, you talk talking
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: about social media, I gotta bring up the you know,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: this is a little bit more detailed, maybe and maybe
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I'm stepping too far in this conversation base about you know,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: the way the Russians played a role in in the
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: political election of twenty sixteen. How they were able to,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: you know, get information on certain people, the way they thought,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: the way they walked, where they talked. They would just
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: swayed there through through campaign campaign information, you know, by saying,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: if you this person walks and talks this way, where
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: we keep walking and talking this way, we can lead
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: them down his path? What is different from what you're
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: trying to do. Well, So here's an interesting thing when
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: we talk about the Russian piece, right, we're talking about
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: and I come from a like a social media technology
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: listening background, we're talking about. What we're talking about is
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: is that they've basically leveraged the the fault of digital
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: advertising and use it against us to create these little
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: small bubbles in the social social ecosystem where everything someone
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: believes is validated by something that is essentially invalid. And
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: what they've done is is that you know, and they
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: use that two you know one exposed. You know, you
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: know our societies, you know, are are deeper inner troubles.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: But you know what happened there is is that they
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: we're trying to change how people think by you know,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: using the same models that are used by you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Nike to help people by parents sneakers, right like showing
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you a bunch of sneakers and saying choose one. They're
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: learning about you and trying to put the sneakers in
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: front of you that they believe you're actually going to purchase.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: And that is not the way to handle politics. So
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: when you look at Empowered, what we try to do
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: is we try to disseminate objective information. Of course, the
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: board relative to your representation, right like, we're not telling
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: you to go one way or another. We're saying, what
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: are the issues that you're having. We call those clauses,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: and then we use those to connect you to organizations
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: that you can align with for advocacy purposes or if
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: you have a little bit more experience, you can directly
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: engage elect officials on your own to the application. You know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: this is about maintaining your own quality of life. It's
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: not a social network. It's not if you go to
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the app, you're not talking to a bunch of other
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: people and having a bunch of you know, communication sessions
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: around things that you know are you know that you
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: believe are important to you. This is a action driven
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: application and it is focused on an objective, non party bias,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: ability to create relationships with elected officials and organizations that
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: allow you to you know, have the quality of life
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: you deserve and make that accessible to everybody. So we
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: are not trying to steer people one way or another
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: or trying to facilitate people's ability to be effectively engaged.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see what you're saying. You're saying that that campaign
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: was specifically driven the character graph or a single mind
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and then mark that mind mind with that single thought
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: down this lane. And you're saying, we're creating giving you
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: information about the options, the overall portal of information you
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: you with with empowered. That's an app that's free that
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: you can dialoade and when you go on that, how
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: does that walk us through the steps of how you
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: use it. How what information do you because do you
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: have to do you have to supply information into Empowered? Yes.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: So what we call it especifically, what we consider internally
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: a a data exchange. Right So, Empowered manages uh data
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: for about thirty tho elected official offices. And what we
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: do that we tie those elected leader roles to your
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: jurisdiction boundaries. And then we also have partnerships with advocacy
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: groups and organizations, and we tie those groups to the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: causes that you care about in our application. So when
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: you're giving us information about like your location or causes
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: you care about and other demographic pieces, we're using that
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: to align you with both your elected representation relative to
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: you know, your location in your region, from your local
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: city council in the President of the United States, and
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: we're also using it to align you with news and
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: information and organizations that are directly tied to the things
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: that you care about in your life. Right So, and
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: so that is how you know, uh, you know, we
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: function in terms of like a use case. For instance, Um,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: you know right now we've just partnered with Partnership for
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Southern Equity, which is an organization here in Atlanta that's
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: getting ready to you know, push the fight against Georgia
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Power's increasing energy prices. So if you follow you know
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: public you know, partnership of Southern Equity in our app
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: or or any of the causes us that are tied
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: to their mission, like they will work with you in
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: our application to help lobby your public service commissioners, the
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: local elected officials they're in Georgia UM to help convince
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: them that they should fight against Georgia Power to lower
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: the energy prices. You know, these are things that people
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: don't think about when they think about political engagement in
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: many times. But our political system is is a real
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: democratic system, and it is one that is influenced either
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: directly or indirectly by your participation. So we try to
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: enable that participation through our partners, through our user based
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: in through our data. It really is interesting here you
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: talk about the whole set up with the Really you've
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: given a voice because we have lobbyists, and lobbyists are powerful,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: and you're letting people know with social media, you can
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: now compete with the lobbies who sit in the hallways,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: who have offices in the in the local every capital,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: in every state. They have lobbyists in d C. And
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: so you're saying, through your software that just connected to
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: thirty thousand you said thirty correct, and now gives you Yeah,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: it now gives you a voice to be able to
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: communicate through social media that's never been that has not
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: been there before. That's pretty powerful? Or is that's really powerful? Man?
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: You know, you you start to impress me, sir, really
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: really seriously, you know, but you know the thing about
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: it because of the fact that really, you know, because
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: it's so many ways social media can bring value to
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: the individual. You know, It's made entrepreneurs wealthy through social media,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: is made athletes and stars have a voice outside of
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: outside of the craft. And then now you're saying, there's
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: an individual, you know, if you're having problems with the
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: with the local local power company, wanted to raise your fees,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: then you can do it through social media and you
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: can go through this app and we can create into
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Because ever tell you something, you used to be used
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: to write a letter to uh the general mills or
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: forward and complaint a letter. So they said one letter
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: used to be like ten thousand people. Now social media
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: is worse because now it's it's in the public's view
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: and comments get shared and it could create a mass
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of momentum. So I appreciate you, I really do,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate you coming on my show. And that's
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: why I created this show so lanes of information like
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: this can be made public because a lot of people
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: don't understand why this should be made public, because you
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: spread the words strong with more people know, more people know,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: more people are educated. And that's why I considered a
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: UH an app for academia and education meets in a
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: political arena where you can empower people to be to
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: control their lives and especially in the world of social media.
