  Speaker 1: You only come on Money Make Conversation to make big announcements,

  Speaker 1: have to announce is that I am in the process
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of getting ready to race the two thousand nineteen Late

• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to get ready for that season next year. Good. So,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: let me just ask you this about this. Okay, Okay,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: You're based through Richmond and you own a your co
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: owner of a truck and business. What does a trucking business? Okay? So, Um,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the name of my business is Skygo Logistics and I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a co owner with my cousin and it's here in Richmond, Virginia.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But we travel all over the place. Uh. Like I said,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I drove eighteen wheelers. Believe it or not, I know
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I'm super small. I do do that. And um, we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: basically train is port um cargo from a point A
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to point B. So yeah, see, would you say that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, you know, big deal? Really you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know that people I do kid drive stick shift in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a little a little Honda. Okay, so let's go and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: be real about this. So you have a professional license, uh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: because if that's a special license that comes with driving
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: those type of vehicles. Correct, Yes, sir, I have a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: CDO Class A license. I did not go to school
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for most people do, but I literally studied the book
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for two and a half weeks, got my learners. Then
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you have to wait thirty days to go be able
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to take the road test, and I passed that on
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: my first time, which is actually kind of a big deal,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: not to to my own horn, but most people fail,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: like I think the percentage is something like nineties something
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: per cent of people that take the test that first
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: time fail. But I was blessed enough to be able
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to pass it on my first go, So that's kind
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of cool. So, yes, you have to have a special
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: license because when I met it, because you you hear,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: if you hear a touch of humbleness in a voice,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that's who I met. That's why she's on my show
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because people would like her I'm gonna just say, like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: her tender, uh need somebody like Rashan McDonald toot their
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: horn because they are special people, because then she got it,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, because you're going into lanes of success that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: are not charted very often by females. Correct, very true,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: That is absolutely correct. I am in a lot of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: male dominated um fields, which is okay with me, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: let measure this. So let's let's just this is this
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is a male talking You are attractive, Okay, you are,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and these are just you know what you see you're
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you're not you know, they're not muscles sprouted now all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: over your arms and everything, and you know you don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: look like you you know, so so I'm looking at
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a slender person attractive because you've got a nice height
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on you, so you look like an athlete. Okay, let's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: go and give your respect there. But can people like
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: underest mate you or just kind of like, oh, she's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: not really that good based on how she looks, or
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: based on how what they think you can do. Do
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you get do you get offended by that? I don't
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: get offended by it. It's so second nature to me now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: from starting when I was younger. I played football in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: middle school in or high school, and everybody's like, oh,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you're a girl, you're small, you can't do that. So
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: with me starting with that and now me racing drig
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: racing motorcycles, and me getting into UM the cars Late
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Model Series, it's in me driving chacor turlers. They're all
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: male dominated. Feel like the field is all male dominated.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm used to people looking at me, they're like,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you really do that. I'm like, yeah, So it's really
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: cool to me because, um, I like the fact that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: other young girls and boys and everything men and women
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: can look at me and say, hey, if she can
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: do it, I can do it too. So it's kind
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of like I'm a role model, so I don't get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: offended by it. It's it's like I'm a walking billboard
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, my little my daughter and my son,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they can do this since she's doing it too. So,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So you you mentioned football, playing football, which you mayo
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: dominated sport. How did you get into racing. I got
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: into racing because my godfather he UM race motorcycles, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I went to the race track when I was twelve
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: years old, and I was like, I don't want to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: do that, So For my seventeenth birthday, my mom got
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: me my first motorcycle and I was able to race it,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and then I got to race the BMW's there for
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: sports bike and I set the record on it. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: once I got on that motorcycle, I really fell in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: love with racing and the speed and what I could
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: do in the sport. So now I'm hooked. I'm really
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: hooked now. I uh, when I was, I think when
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I got out of college, I I drove, I was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: on lights is now motorcycles. Oh, I'm telling I was
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: out there. You're out there popping wheelies. And then um,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I stopped popping wheelies when my best friend popped it
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: right into a tree. So oh yeah, I gotta tell
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the truth now, you know. And I wouldn't visit them
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: when he's sign he's fine, he's fine. But he looked
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: from the hospital though, because that's bread leg. He had
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: cast on both of his arms and his legs. So
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: here's a tree for real. And I say that because
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you know, when people see individuals like you, they can
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: assume that it's it's something that they it's easily done
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: there that you can you see something on TV, just
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: do it That's why they always put underneath. Do not
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: try this on TV home home. These are experts, these
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: are stunt people. Because my friend, he went right into
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that tree and I never ever drove a motorcycle again
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: after that day because of the fact that I was
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: not there, that I was out there playing around. I was,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I was joking around, and he had the license, so
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: he's I just ride his bike, you know. And so
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: so when when I see individuals like you, who what
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: inspires you to race? What is that? Because it's dangerous,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's dangerous destiny, Come on now, it is very dangerous.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But what inspires me is it's in me. It's my passion.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Like when I hear a motorcycle or our car for
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that matter, I get excited. When I smell the race fuel,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I get excited. Um, it's just literally I was born
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in two of my grandfather he used to race cars
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: back in the day. So I think it's just one
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of those things that's literally in my in my bloodline.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And to also see other racers like um Bubba Wallas
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he's even though he just had a right which I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: prayed that. I'm glad he's okay, But to see him
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: stepping that platform and you know, be able to be
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: that role model for me. I think that's amazing. Um
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Peggy Llewellen and n HR eight, she's another woman that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: races UM super fast motorcycles and me seeing them, it
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: drives me and it excites me and it's a part
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of me and I'm really well, I'm a really great
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: racer added too, So it just makes me want to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: keep going and be that role model for other people,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: just like other people are role models for me. What
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is a race? Just playing that to my Audia, what
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: exactly is a race that would you would say you're
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a drag racer? What is that? Okay? So drag racing.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Drag racing is it's two racers, one on the left lane,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: one on the right lane, and it's a it's called
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a Christmas tree. So their lights in the middle and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: when they dropped, once the green light goes, that means
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you have to go, and it's in a straight line.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Late model race car racing is a circle track. So
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like NASCAR what you see on TV, it's that type
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of track. Um, there's two different, completely two different things. Um,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: nascars they go two hundred miles an hour like fast
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: my motorcycles that I race goes only a hundred and sixty.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But there is a new type of motorcycle called a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: four sixty motorcycle that I am also about to get into.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: In the meantime. Wow, I'm practicing to get ready for
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: my two thousand nineteen late model season. So um, both
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: both bike and cars can both go over two hundred
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: miles an hour. It sounds scary, but it's fun for me.
• 10:59
