  Speaker 1: My man, I'm just going back real far when we

  Speaker 1: first met, when I was staling of the Jamie Fox
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Show and used to send in my office and used
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to tell me you want to be a guy who
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: created multiple stream of income and you wanted to make
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a difference on stage and off stage, and you've been
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: doing it. My frank, not absolutely, man, You truly one
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of my mentors and one of the people that showed
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: me that you can be multi batting and do our
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: things on the entertainment side, but more importantly on the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurs side. And I appreciate you for just being an
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: O G and paving the way. Well, thank you. Uh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you know, if you sit on the sidelines man, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and look at a talent like you because of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: fact that let's let's let's tell everybody you know, you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: kind of got your first you the same ago. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: he's right down from Los Angeles, so you came up.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I went to Los Angeles and your first break really
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was doing warm up, correct, Yeah, definitely my first break.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean as a teenager, like obviously, you know, doing
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the hustle of being a stand up and you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years old, off through l A and then
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you know, our first couple of opportunities. I mean, the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: first opportunity I got to do warm up was on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Theickelodeon and then to me, I turned that into a business.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I mean that was enough to pay my Mama and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Rent and and you know, I was just every every
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: show that gave me an opportunity. So I I started
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: naming like, you know, the Key and Chails and all
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of that. But I got an opportunity to warm up
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of times on from w B shows and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: even hang out on the set, you know, like you said,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: at different shows like the Jamie Fox Show and Steve
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Barber Show. And that's when I kind of saw how
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: big that world actually was and how many jobs and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: occupations that you know, one could be existed instead of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just being in front of the camera, because that's always
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was the case, you know. And your first movie break was,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I would say, drama line. Correct, Yeah, yeah, I mean
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: obviously because I had when I was a teenager from
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: doing all of the osinal and stuff. I gotta deal
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: with Will Smith. Uh And so he gave me a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: small little roll and many black too. Uh So that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was probably the first time I was ever in a movie,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but the first movie that I ever started this drum line.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Come on, talking about a star. You know, you know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you carried that movie. You know that was Will Smith movie. Okay, Nick,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that was Will Smith. But we're talking about you're talking
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: about drum line, dude, but they said you are the man.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: You are the man. You know, it was such a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: time that movie. The reason I loved talking to a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: brand like yours and started so young and still relevant
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: today is because of the fact that you've grown through
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that whole millennial generational process where you grew up with
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the iPhone, you grew up in the Internet generation, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: emails or you know, I grew up in I was
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: born with a rotary dial telephone. You know what I'm saying.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So you know that just you know when when when
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the when the when the television shows went off when
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I was growing up, you know, they went off at
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: midnight and you heard the flying and in the national anthem,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know, to television used to go off for real,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: one off. You know what we're gonna do, Not go
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to bed, You're gonna go to be a boy. You're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: gonna go to bed. And so you grew up in
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a twenty four our world or twenty four our world?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: How did that? How did that affect you? Knowing that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: because I see it in your brand and we're gonna
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: talk about those layers. But I do want to get
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a good sense of what incredible, which is your company
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: divisions that flow out of that tell us about that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: really it uh endless possibilities more than anything. Like you said,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like you live in a twenty four hour world and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: everything is that your senior chips. There's nothing that you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: can't do. There's nothing that you can't put your mind to,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and just the ingenuity just based off of your creativity
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: is so prevalent in this generation and the mindset they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: don't believe there's any any limits, which is cooled. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to be able to approach business life just from a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: high spect of whatever I put my mind and I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: gonna make it happen, it's a beautiful thing. And that's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the and that's the really important that you say that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that a lot of people don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: pursue opportunities out of fear they have changed. And that's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: not that's not your m O. You don't you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: we all have, we all questioned. I said, I don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wanna tell people, you know, nervousness or when I feel uncomfortable.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I used to work uncomfortable in my my vocabulary. When
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I talk about change, I always say that's a good
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: thing for me when I'm uncomfortable, I'm about to veer
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: into another direction that's really gonna be good for me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Because if you stay comfortable, you know you you can
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: subject to the failures are being comfortable. But when you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have multiple streams of income like you're creating, then you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: also know there's a lot of uncomfortable zones that you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: go into question yourself, like like the whole creation of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the Wild and Now, which is a legendary um production
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that you created as a young man. A young man
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and I talked about that created the process, and then
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: then to have on the hiatus was six years, it
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was on MTV the with the MTV two now is
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: back on MTV. Yeah, I mean, honestly, to your point,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that's a perfect example of how one idea that nobody
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: believed in, that nobody understood it, and I had to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: invest my own money against my agent and my managers.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody said, don't do it, is not gonna make sense.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And what is an improv hip hop comedy show? And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so I've rented out a comedy club in l A,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: got all my friends together and you know, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: people that nobody had ever heard of at the time,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: from Cat Williams, d Ray Davis, Kevin Hard come on,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: come on doing all these people that I was just
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: trying to hook my friends up with jobs, and now
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: these guys are multi millionaires today. Um. But yeah, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: then you know we cut to two hundred episodes later.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Like you said, it's just a brand that hasn't stopped
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: because it speaks to a generation and again and even
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in that world of comedy is just showing that it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a new form of comedy. It's the way that people
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: can be free and loosen. Now even you know, with
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the online generation, we're creating stars out of them too,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, elevating the branding and diversifyance on that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: had many different verticals from gaming to two restaurants to touring.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was the biggest comedy tour last year
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and we're going out again, you know, in the arena
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: this year. So we're telling them, don't let's Steve Harvis
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: here that talking about you the biggest comedy to you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: know now this year. Last year, I ain't, I ain't
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the King's definitely here's a comedy now. But now that's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. We were don't talk about a couple of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: things because you went into the Wild and Out and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: we talked about exploring the other areas restaurants. Food. Okay,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you got a big wild and not restaurant you opened
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: into Miami and in San Diego. But the Miami one
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: is opening first. Tell us about the vision. Tell us
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: about his opening. Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to open
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: up first, uh hip hop sports bar chain. And you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: we're kind of going after that that that that Hooters
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and Dave and Buster's business, because we're gonna have you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: shades and drinks. Yeah, and you know the same thing
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: we do. We're doing Wayne's tacos and waffles because but
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of cool when you think of everything
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you see and love from the television show is now
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be live and living color right there to where
• 9:39

  Speaker 1: and in all of the games, the men you will
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: be named after some of your favorite people on the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: show and games that we play. So it's really just
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: creating a whole three sixty experience off of a brand
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that's already been uh tried and tested, and it's also promotable.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: The thing about it, I like the fact that you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: know for a fact now that you're about to capture
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: an audience that's going to have a spending power for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: at least another twenty years. That's the beauty of listening
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to you talk, you know, because our people always know
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that that economics and television and growth is always determined
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: how long is your audience able to buy, how long
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you're able to purchase If you're you're capturing that oh

• 12:01
  Speaker 1: my friend. We'll be back with more Nick Cannada. Nick,

• 12:11
  Speaker 1: know you're going to an HBC U school, So I'll

• 12:17
  Speaker 1: fellow HBC yours on my show. Okay, you tell us
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: about your spirits being a college student. Why did you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: go back Howard University, my man, one of the one
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of the finance college finance, but colleges in America. Yeah,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the mecca. Um, honestly, man, I've I've accomplished so many
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: things in my career. Early on, I actually learned that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: true wealth is education. And you know, I always wanted
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to go back, and I'm such an advocate for education. Uh,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you can power, but I was like, yeah, I gotta
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: put my money where my mouth is. And I didn't
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: just want to just go in and get some kind
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of honorary degree. I wanted to actually go and wanted
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to go and get educated, not only just what's inside
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the book, school's inside our soul. And then you can
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: only do that amongst your own and you only can
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: learn from you know. It's it's truly that that African
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: ritual of passing down one's heritage and one's lineage. Uh
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So in these institutions where you know, uh, academics are
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of our own kind. Really, it's powerful. Man. I've I've
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: had such an eye opening experience in the HBC system
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that I feel like I would encourage everybody to uh
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: be a part of that in whatever way, from from
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the mumni to you know, young aspiring millennials or post
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: millenials that want to go and get educated. There's nothing
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: like ACU system. Well, you know, the thing I always
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: tell people about education is that my degree is in mathematics.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I always tell people you can't repull your education once
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you get it. They can't take it away away from it,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: can't throw no bad credit on you, they can't come back.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We're gonna take that. We're taking I'm still smart, I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: still I still learned that you can't. And people don't
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: understand the power of education. And here a young man
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: who who made that decision to say, hey, look, I'm
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: successful in so many lanes, but education means something. That
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: means that you're a role model. And that's why I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to bring that up, that the responsibility of what
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you do plays out in so many people's mind, especially
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: young people and grown people mind. Because I always tell
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: people in this show that there's no age when you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: should start being successful. You can start being success with
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy eighty. So at the early in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: early era that we live in, they said that one
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: third of the workforce it's gonna be freelance or self
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: implaud today one third. So that's a mentality that it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: like changing the world. And when I look at you
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: talking about because I'm not gonna let you gloss over
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: your success. Because of the fact that he just threw
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: out some names like Cat William. You know, Cat, we've
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: sell our venue. You know what, he don't sell a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: lot of readers. He's a venue eighteen thousand see venues.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: He threw out you know you forgot a d Cole,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you've got his name. Did you throw that name out there?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And then you threw I I can't He threw I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: can't even went hard like it was nothing, you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hard, and then went some of the biggest name.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: The biggest name is Kevin Hard. These are and then
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: d Ray Davis. He threw that out there. He's not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he not throwing out the earth quake. He ain't throwing
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I searched againthing. He's not throwing out whole Come, he's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: not throwing out all these names that have passed through
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: your your your your, your brand. And you know people
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: would throw throw love to the deaf comedy jam why
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: what they did for African American comics. But what you've
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: done in this era, you you kind of like and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: slicked your way in and created a whole new industry
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: for the young people that understood this era of how
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to promote, how to brand, how to use social media?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Because you truly are on social media influencer and that's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what you're doing today, and that's what you're taking advantage of.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Please tell people how important social media is to your brand.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, social media is the language of this generation,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: so uh and the true the curators and taste makers
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of pop culture. I mean, if it's not happening on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: social media, then it's not happening, uh for this generation.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: So I had to, you know, find out that there
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: was so much untapped talent uh in that space that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: were you know, entertaining themselves. So I was like, all right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: well we can experand this across all platforms, and you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know it's no matter you know, how fascinating and how
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: many numbers and using streams go online. Uh. People always
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: want to be on television. I wanted those two worlds
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to to you know, television and need to television and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: radio solidify success and entertainment, so to be able to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: bring their world together with something that I always envisioned
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and knew that would truly work. Uh. And just it
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: was that idea of this is what's next, and when
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you can bring what's next to what's current, UH, usually
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: UH find success. That's amazing. I have three are my
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: employees who have loopas, and the discovered you had loopas,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and I always, I always understand, always, and it's important
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: that I recognize that and tell people who have loopas
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: because when you hear people have certain deals as, they
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: think that they can't they're not they're not normal, they
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: can't function in life. And so I wanted to make
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: want to make sure I brought that up on this
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: show because young people need to hear that it doesn't
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: stop you from being successful, that it's something you have
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: control up as my employees have control of in their lives.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And I always bring it up. And if something seems
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to be getting more and more attention, tell us about
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: lupus and what do you do to bring that level
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: of awareness and everybody is to be aware of Yeah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I would honestly say that the loop is actually made
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: me stronger. It made me focus and made me tap into,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you know, what I was putting in my body and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: how to take care of myself because before it, just
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: like you know, the average person, I'm just going day
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: by day, eating what I want, thinking I was healthy,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: thinking I was doing everything properly. And then when something
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: like that and such a serious diagnosis placed upon you,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it makes you step back one you get you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: there's there's a little fear because you don't understand it,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: because you though, we fear what we don't understand. So
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I had to, you know, do my research and understand
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: how to live with this, how to live past it,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and understand that you know, I may have lupus, the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: loop doesn't have me. So you gotta just push and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and be an example, you know, and then let my
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: test be a testimony. Now, this is amazing because of
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the fact that I that you're you're willing to tell
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: people who you are, which means put yourself out there.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You're an amazing father. Let's put that out there too.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Let's also let's put the fact out that you're an
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: entrepreneur and then balancing being a father, you know, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: balancing being a businessman, balancing being a social influencer. How
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: do you balance all this? Because I always tell people,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: what does Nick Cannon do? Like I baked now? Nick,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know I'm a I'm a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: ward winning baker. Now I'm baking now, you know. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that's my balance, that's my balance. I'm a baker. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: can make your cheesekake to bake for now and putting
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: some peach cobbler to become pie. That's what I do
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: for my balance is now in my life? What do
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you do to make sure you have balanced? Nick? Yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: like you said, it's prioritizing time man and man and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: then taking time to yourself. I mean the arts have
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: always been something that's where I can find peace and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: solid So but it's you know, playing to yeah know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: whether it's you know, writing poetry like all those things
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that are still entertaining. But I mean it's something that
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: but you can go within and you know, closing doors
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and just focusing and like you find that balance within yourself.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I mean balances everything when it comes to how your
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: approach life. It's so it's what keeps you stable, and stability, uh,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: spiritually and mentally is truly important. So once you get
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: your priority together, and like you said, even speaking of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: being a father, being my number one priority and being
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a provider for you know, myself and my family members,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: then you've got to go within and make sure your
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: inner strength st together. So you tapped right into it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You know the thing about it that I that I
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: walked wanted everybody to know that Wild and Out that's
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: produced by Incredible Incredible with whose company, Nick Cannon, So
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: he puts controls his brand. The same thing with these restaurants,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: because he's telling everybody on this in his interview, he's
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: leading a legacy for his children. He's not just gonna
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: be a standup comic. Because you know, as an actor,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you're working wealthy when you show up for TV shows
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: or you show up for for movies, that's called working wealthy.

• 21:31
  Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. I always encourage everybody to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: tap into the philosophy that money and and currency is energy.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And and really when you can come from a place
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of positive energy, and you think about energy, that's self generating.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: You generated your your own generator. So to sit around
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and just wait for someone is an old fashioned way
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: of thinking. When you feel like you may not have
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a dollar in your pocket, but if you generate, if
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you if you realize your inner energy to create your wealth,
• 22:07

• 22:15
