• 1:08
  Speaker 1: making Conversations. Miss Diana Williams. Good morning Diana. What city
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: are you in, my friends, what city are you in? Well,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm in Jackson, Mississippi. Today the Dancing Dolls of Jackson
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: start their audition process, an intake for new members. So
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I am here with them all week long. Now, what
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: is the explained that process to me? Right here? Because
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of the fact that last time we're gonna show people,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: should you really get in detail about how how my
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: kids can get involved? And I want to make sure
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that I don't miss that. So you you open the door,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: explain the process because you're not only in Jackson, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you're also in Birmingham, and you also have studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Correct, correct, Okay,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but right now you're doing intake for Jackson, Mississippi studio.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Talk to us about that. Well, for the dancings, all
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the dancing dogs are separate of the Dollhouse Dance Factory.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: The dancing dogs just practiced inside of the Dollhouse Dance Factory.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: There's a huge misconception there about how the company runs
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: our studio is etcetera. Etcetera. So when members of the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: audition wasn't for the Dancing Dolls competition dance team, I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: always suggest that they start off taking class somewhere that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: teaches major rette in hip hop because those types of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: backgrounds are what you will need in order to be
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: successful on the team. Although it is not required, it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is definitely suggested because while she takes those class that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: makes it so much easier for you to make the team.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Getting training before actually trying to get the job, it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: what you want to try to do. So that's exactly
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: what I express to everyone. But even though some people
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't don't take the training process prior to and they
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: just show up for the audition protests, we do the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: best that we can to train them prior to the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: actual audition itself. The dance will come in and all
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: ages five to eight teams. They're all different sides from
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: all different backgrounds. You know, we don't excreminat We want everybody.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You want, anybody that wants to dance, has an idea
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of what it is the takes to do, what it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is that we do. We want them to come. We
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: want to have them there, so having them around is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: definitely fun. Some kids make it and some kids don't,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: but it's always a fun process, especially seeing the kids
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: grow throughout the course of the week and putting their
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: best foot forward. Now, what makes you unique? Because there's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there, you know, I'm always
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hunting for the next though, I'm always looking hunting for
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Miss Diana Williams so I can create me a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: hit reality show. What makes you special, Miss Williams? Well,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: everything about me makes me special, very different creating. It's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: not stop stop stop stop you too much stop stop
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: right there, right there everywhere, but no, seriously, like, what
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: about me? I'm just different from most people that you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: would that. You know, people give up a lot of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: time to do what it is that they do, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I am definitely one of those people. But what makes
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: me different, I think, is the fact that I give selflessness, selfless, selfless, selflessly,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I should say, without even looking back, I have done
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of things for kids that probably wouldn't even
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: though they're'm even doing the things that I'm doing for
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: them in the background. You know, some parents don't even
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know that I cover fees for them even when they
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: don't have the money to pay it. And then I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: know that something's going on with them, I take care
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of it. I'm always reaching out to other kids to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: try to see what they're doing wrong as far as
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: school because ofcerned to try to assist them on that level.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not just a typical coach that sits in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: coaching students team in the studio. I'm all in their business.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I want to know what they're doing, where they're going,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: who they're talking to. I want to know about your grades.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Don't want to go at you doing your chores at
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: home like you doing them on your third And I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: want to know it all because I can figure out
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: how to make you the best topicable with you possible.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And that's what the ultimate goal. Let me ask you this, so,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: so do you do do? Do you have? Like scholarships?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: There are individual purchase scholarships that could be donated to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a student who can't afford to ten Your studios or
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hot does they work? Are creating a problem for you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: because they gotta have the talent to attend Rashaan, They
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: gotta make the cut. So just being able. The dancings
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: As is a community based organization. We're not a finance
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We're not a federally fund organization. It's funded finance from
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: my pockets mostly. You know, the parents do pay money
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for uniforms, but all the parents don't always pay like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: their those too who are do what they need to do,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: so then the financial responsibility falls on me. And it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: been like that for the last eighteen years, you know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So Unfortunately, we can't offer scholarships because the money for
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the scholarship becomes to me and I have my own
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: child that I have to focus on and worry about.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But if there are people out there that would love
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to donate money to the kids, I would love to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: have that money to be placed on their account so
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that if they are running behind on fees, or if
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: there's parents that need extra money for travel or what
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have you. Absolutely we would take donations all day long. Okay, cool,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get a donation from Rushan McDonald. We appreciate
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that we have several kids, especially in the Atlanta area.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I know for a fact, I have a parent, a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: parent up two. I will not name her name. Um
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I covered her fees for her kids for the full
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: year just so they were able to come. But then
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: her car broke down and she wasn't able to even
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: get them there. So it was like one thing happening
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: after after another. Is I know she would definitely be
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: appreciated appreciate them in his assistance, Well, I'm serious because
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of the fact that, uh, I do it for Wendy
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: were Carl Robinson, she has a school for an acting
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: school and uh this California, My wife and I would
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: purchased ten scholarships annually. It's we've been doing it for
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: like ten years. And uh, I don't consider you my
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: little sister now, miss Williams. Okay, appreciate Um. I gotta
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: bring you on board into the phone. We gotta introduce
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you to my wife so she can she can say, Okay,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we're good because because you're doing Because that's the point
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring back on the show, because
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, the show edits you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: know energy, they edit, they don't they don't allow the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: story to be told, a big story to be told.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And when he was on the show, I was like, really,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: at all of the shark conversation, I went there so
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: much more we should be talking about. And I told
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you that when you was in the studio, go, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: gotta bring you back because you come back on my
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: show because of the fact that a lot of people,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: especially like I'm from Chicago from a standpoint, I worked
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there like five years and dance clubs and dancing is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: really big in Chicago, and I know how impactful that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is in the Chicago community. And the fact that you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: now have studios in Jackson, Mississippi, and Birmingham, Alabama, in Atlanta, Georgia.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: What is the what is the tim Is there a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: limit to what you're gonna do or talk about the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: reason why you're expanding like that like this there one
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons why the expansion the chances theories
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: because being able to have an outreach program that reaches
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: out or literally outward house side of the state, and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it's something that's important to make sure that you can
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: reach as many people in boxing out a platform that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I'm home with the TV show has given me the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity to leave so many people and to be around
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: so many people, and the fact that my studio was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: just in one stationary way. Everybody couldn't get understood that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But I have the opportunity and the means to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: able to give to them. So it just made sense
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: for me to say, you know what, Diana, why not
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: just open up the studio or location in their areas
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and go to them. Now, everybody can't always go where
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you need them to go. Everybody can't always be where
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you need them to be. Everybody can always do what
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you actually can do. So it's important that celebrities that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: they have an opportunity to use a platform that I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: gave them in the first place, that you use it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And that's exact what I've been trying to do. Let's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: go back, you know, uh, your book. You know, we
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: talked about it last time. Your relationship with your mom
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was was it's not the perfect relationship? What did you
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: learn about the relations you with your mom? And you've
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: been because I feel like you're a giant mom now,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you're a mom doer these kids you because you're so
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all the things that you talk about a mom will
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: do for their child. And so I feel that you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: know now your mom and Jacksie, that's where you started
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: now your mom in Birmingham, not your mom in Atlanta.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And so that's that's a lot of emotional bandwidth that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you're putting out there. How do you how do you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: how do you how do you hold yourself together? I'm normal, like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: can you want to else? So I cry? You know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I try to not stress about it, even though that's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: hard because you're dealing with so many personalities. When you're
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: dealing with girls. That would always says women are emotional preachers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: so when you're dealing with girls, there's different attitudes and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all that there. I try my best to literally place
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: myself in their shoes and understand every situation. But I've
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: learned to not take it home. I used to take
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: home so much of the stress on these kids, but
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I did fleet over time. I wouldn't eat that I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was so much stress and over when them. I even
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: lost weight because of some of the stress dealing with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of what it is that I do. But
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: because I know that this is the purpose that God
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: gave me, that I know that having this weight on you,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it's the reason why you're able to be so successful. Go,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I is not gonna ever give you more than you
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: can be at people saying all the time, but I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: am a walking, talking testament because that I have watched
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: kids that have been for affusive halls, broken homes, parents
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: walk out on their abandoned kids, kids that our foster kids.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We have had a lot of kids come through our programs,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and I literally take it all in. I'd have I'd
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: have foster present so I understand what it's like. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: understand what it's like to love your mom and your
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: mom not always love you back, but then in the end,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: like my mom and I now we have a great relationship. Now.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I think that, you know, with everything that I've gone
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and having to deal with so much of what I
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: dealt with, I think that it created more of a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: fund with us. Because she didn't know. Now she she
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: got my books, I didn't want her to eat it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I did not want my long
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to read my book. Of a lot of stuff that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it's in the book, I never told her. I kept
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it to myself. As most kids, you know, we we
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: bottled things up as adults and even as children, we
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: bottled things up and we keep it to ourselves. And
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I did that for a long time. That book set
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: me free. It set me free. I was able to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: talk about things that I hadn't ever spoke out loud
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: about before, and it was a necessary evil. I needed
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to do that. But my mom and no, now we're good.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You know we're in a good place. Now we crap
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: dogs it se texts you go and emopreversy. Speaking of emoji,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: she downloaded might emoji app and she keeps sitting the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: same one. I'm like, why do you keep seeing that one?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Sulf because it looks like me and I could do that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, kids, right, tell us about this emoji app?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I did this kiss thought well, Uh, my publicist eric
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I brought to me um an idea to do emojis
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: because my personality is so vibrant, and why wouldn't people
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: want to have text messing in conversation, utilizing gifts that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: look like being talk like me and act like you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we have women are fights to create yourself. We have
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: some fights to them because we have these conversations where
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: we snap our things and roll our next so we
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: go through the whole, the whole motion, and it just
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: makes sense to have an emoji that the fimilize all
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: those things. You can have a whole conversation with my
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: emojis without even texting one word. That's just how good
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they are. That's fun. That sounds it sounds like you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It's only available on iPhone right now. Android Applet supposed
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to come out later in the pH because I'm Android now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I'm an Android guy now, and you know that the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: dominant UH, Android is the dominant brand for the African
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: American community. Is gonna let you know what. You gotta
• 12:49

• 16:07
  Speaker 1: things where I'm being a little bit confident and and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it's like a rhetorical question, but um, it was intended
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to be like a genuine question of making a statement

  Speaker 1: and having people don't wonder who's that dude? Right right?

• 16:29

• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that area? No, No, it doesn't, It doesn't bother me
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: too much. Um, Like you understand a lot of people
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: are going to have a different perspective or different understanding
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of different things. So, um, you know, when they when
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: they tend to ask me the question or um, you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I tend to kind of let them know or if
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: they're trying to suggest, um that you know, maybe I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: might be meaning in that way. I just kind of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: explaining it. And And it's not it's not attended to do
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that way at all. I don't get assentified at all. Awesome, Well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: it's great, we're gonna talk about your business. But it's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that time of the year. We just finished the NFL Combine,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: which I think is blowing up, you know, and see
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: all the celebrities that are tweeting various athletes who are
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: running forties and lifting weights and doing shuttle drills. Were
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you able to participate in the NFL Combine when you
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: came out, No, I got invited. Um at the time,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I was recovering from a shoulder in handsover I hain't
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: got in December. Um, so me, I had the privilege
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: of attending the combine, but unfortunately I wasn't able to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: actually participate in any of the drills. Just I was
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: able to you know, visually experience that as well as
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: just the interaction with the coaches in the play. You
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: got to walk around your underwear, get the measurements and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: talk to the coaches. That's what you got to do that.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: It's so so that's part of the process. Now. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: reasonally I wanted to talk about your your your NFL
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: experience a little bit because you were undrafted free agent,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: which you mean you come into camp with no guarantees
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: at least if you get drafted. As a general feeling,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: they want to keep their draft picks. When you come
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in as an undrafted free agent, what was running through you?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: First of all, when the draft draft you went through
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the process of sitting through all these rounds of draft.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Did you make a big deal that you have a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: draft party or you just wasn't you say hey, I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: don't know why I'm GONNAT drafted and just lay low
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and find out what happens. How did you approach your
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: draft date? Um? For me, it was actually had a
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: little family gathering, um, you know. For for me, it
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: was it was kind of one of those things where
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I was expected to be taken, um, you know, in
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the second to third round. UM. But for me, a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: guy coming out UM never really experienced it. UM. I've
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: always kind of you know, took the you know, um,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the little low subtle route. UM. So I had a
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: few people didn't really make too much of a bill
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: big deal about it. You know. Growing up as a leader,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I had to watch the NFL draft and UM, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you hear about the different mark drafts and and where
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: different players supposed to go, and it never quite works
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: out like that. So UM, for me, I had kind
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of prepared myself for you know, the unexpected UM, which
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: was anything could happened. So we had a few people
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: over um ended up going undrafted. UM. But before the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: draft was over, UM, you know, in the last surroundings,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: so UM, I had a number of teams call up
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: UM and and at the time they either said that
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: they they were out of pick for the for the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: draft that year, or either um, you know, they were
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: going to go in another direction with another position with
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the last pick. UM, but they you know, expressed that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they had interest of UM trying to sign me to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the roster UM for gold in the camp. So UM.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: At that point I was, I was, I felt pretty
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: good about getting the opportunity, and for me, it was
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: just about if I can get an opportunity that, um,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I'll be able to show improved that you know, I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: belong in the NFL. So that pretty much happened for
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: me going to the camp. My mindset was pretty much
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that you know, whatever team I went to, that they
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: were getting steal um whether they knew it or not,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: um especial matter. But yeah, yeah I didn't really it
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: didn't really matter whether they knew it um or not.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: If they that they would was getting to steal um
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: with the undrafted player. But um, that was kind of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: my attitude going in was I'm gonna go in nobody's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: going to really expect anything of me. Um, But once
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I get healthy, UM, people are gonna, you know, they're
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to take notice, um, just on my
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: level of play and just going out there and showing
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: what I can do on the steal and it has
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: been the case. And they also say just not to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: my viewers and my listeners and said when you get
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: late in the draft like that, it's actually better to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: be undrafted because you can actually negotiate a better deal
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: for yourself and you also can control the team you
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: want to go to. Is that not true? Yeah? Yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: you know, UM, part of the business side that you
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: know that they particularly say, you know, the first the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: first three rounds are are guys who they really really want,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: UM and and really expect to, you know, make that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: final roster. UM. But you know, the NFL, it's it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: a very competitive work environment, very competitive businesses. UM. The
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: people who come in and get drafted and UM. You know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: once the season start, there no longer with the team UM,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: just because of the number of spots and just how
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: competitive it is. UM. But you know, the later rounds UM,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: those guys they go in and get opportunity. But at
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the same time, you know, being able to go in
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: as a free agent UM, it does kind of the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: one advantages kind of controlling what situation you go into.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: But you know, at that point, you know, if you're
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you're follow in the free agency UM category, then you're
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: pretty much got to compete wherever you go. Anyway, Yeah,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the last two years, I'm a big football fan. So
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about a talent like you,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it's all about transit. What do you do when you're
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: not hitting somebody? What you do when you're not playing football?
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm assuming that what you're doing opening this Whold
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Therapy facility and rich Virginia, Richmond, Virginia is part of
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: that transition and small business that you're trying to create
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: for yourself. Correct. Yeah, Yeah, it's about you know, creating
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that opportunity to creating that platform, um, you know, for
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you to be successful. And that's that's successful on the field, UM,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you have to you know, translate that to off the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: field as well. So um, in season and offseason, that
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: stuff translates to from diet down to recovery as well.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: You know, going into tough workouts and being able to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you know, finish up your day and get your body
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: ready to go the next day. That's just as important.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: So for me, um, you know, I decided to you know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I used to cry out therapy business, um, and then
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: once you know, using that to help improve my recovery,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I decided to join it. Um as far as business
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: wise and expanding there. Okay, let's let's break that down
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a little. That just generally, uh, it's crowd therapy sometimes
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: knowing this cold therapy, it's a local general use of
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: low temperatures in medical therapy. It's used to treat various
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: type of tissue issues. Now I'm a regular guy, you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: would I would I engage myself in this type of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: therapy just a regular guy out there playing hoops to
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a guy who runs like several miles a week. I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: know you're not just you're not just attacking. Are you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: attacking just the everyday athlete? Or they are they want
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to be athletes or the high school athlete, or they
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: are the or the semipro or pro athlete. What are
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you what are you focusing on with just a facility? UM,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: It's it's just it's just you know, UM, wealth or
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: wealth fitness. UM. You know, approach. It's not just for
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the you know, the professional athlete or the earthly day
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: athlete that's going in. UM. This is something in the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: service that you know, can um be utilized by a
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: large scale crowd. UM. It doesn't necessarily have to be
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: recovery for fitness. It can be recovery from injury. UM.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And you know, you don't have to be in sports
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, to be involved in the accident and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and have some sort of injury. So UM. I mean,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: we have people who come in from getting in car accidents,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: they're having back pain. UM. They can hop in the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: machine and you know it pretty much. It pretty much
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: helps their body recover as far as dropping their body
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: down to a low temperature UM causing the body to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: have it heat itself up and that helps with blood
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: circulation and you know, flushing out that old damage tissue
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: and the old damaged blood in that area and getting
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you know, fresh blood in there so it can properly
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: heal and heal faster. We congratulations, Uh, this is Anthony Harris,

• 30:24
  Speaker 1: sous Bobby bait, but I can cook. At least I
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: don't have that either. You know what I'm saying. My
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: wife thinks she my wife thinks she can cook better
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: than me. But that's another story. Now. The rest in
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: our house actually Bobby, Bobby definitely hands down can cook. Um,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I got some a few traits up up
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: your sleep now. I'll tell you that this brand, this
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: brand was developed off of Bobby's homemade sauces and and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: his you know seasonings how he combines them, and his
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: perfectly perfectly fried chicken. And so, you know, just with
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: his creation and my business mind, we thought, you know,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: we gotta bottle this up and sell it. We know.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: What I loved about was the Bobby brown bag. Yeah,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: brown bagging it is what we call it. And it's
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: just like a new school shaking bag. It's like, yeah,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you know right. So the crazy thing is watching Bobby
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: fly some chicken is pretty masterful. He uh just puts
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the right amount of mixture with the seasoning. And I'm
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: telling you he he says, one of his uh, one
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of his tricks is you know, making sure that oil
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: is exactly the right temperature. But when that chicken it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: comes out rashwan, it is so light, crispy, the right crunch,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: right seasoning, and I mean never greasy. So I thought,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you know what, for someone like me who does not
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: really know how to fry many things, I just you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of flying um. I wanted
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to learn and I remembered back in the day the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: shaking bake and how was that created? So that's how
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the brown bag, and it came about how to show
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: someone like myself and many others how to fry um
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: your foods really light and easy. And it's it all
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: comes together. It's the bag. You can drop your your
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: meat or your choice of fish or whatever, and you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: put the seasonings in there that's already comes in the packet.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: You shake it up and drop it. It's as easy
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: as that. I'm gonna tell you something. When I saw
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: that on the website, I go, this is brilliant, you know,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: because I'm telling you because if you go to the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: website and you see the recipes heads on that, I
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: kept going, Okay, what else, because that's what because that's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: what really hurts people in cooking, you know, and we're
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the society of now where people are you know, they're
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: there there. They do it yourself first. And so so
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: when I saw the chicken recipe, just throw the chicken
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: in there and I can say when the chicken floats
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to the top, it's done. Most people don't even know that, right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I've read the website. Now your part was doing this research.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. I didn't know that when to the top
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: it's done. So Bobby, you do that, you have to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: let it float. When it floats, and you know it's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: cooked all the way through that. Um, it's not gonna
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: be greasy because the grease is gonna be out of
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the chicken by time do you put it in your mouth? Wow? Wow, Wow.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Here's here's a quote on the website that I love.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. Uh, it's on the on
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the website. We are committed to serving you seasoning and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: spices of great quality and good to your body. All

  Speaker 1: used in making up our products. So cooking with Bobby
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Brown Foods is a great charge for our vegetarian and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: vegan customers were continuously coming up with new products, so
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: please stay tuned to see what else comes out this year. Yeah,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: we're super excited about that. We have some UM and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: we're just finalizing bottling some of our marinades and dressings
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: which were super excited about. We have a three and
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: one sauce that you can use as either a marinade,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a dressing or a dipping sauce. And you know, we're
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: just just geared up and we can't wait until you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: we are just stocked all the shelves with everything that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you know, our family likes to eat. We we really
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: are conscious about putting things in our body that are
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: healthy obviously for our children and ourselves and UM and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: still have a lot of great flavor. You know, that's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the thing that we're trying to blend together. So well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that's important too because the fact that this is a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: brand and the reason I really like and I always
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: talk about the power couple because it allows us to
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: understand that there is you win, you win both ways.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have the white point of view
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and the and the husband point of view, the male
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: point of view or the female point of view. And
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: it has to be a partnership because you can't win
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: with someone side feeling that this is should be done
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and other side, I said, this is I wanted to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: be done. You have to win with a joint thought.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: That's why when I talked about the brown and baggett,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you know, both of them were excited about it. Both
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, that's that's the way to go. That's
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: yeah about it. Our kids love it too. You got to,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you got to, you know, because of the fact that
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: when when that was the recipe the ship the shrimp,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: oh shrimp all about? Tell me about that, Bobby, Come on,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: tell me about that is something that I came up
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: with that, um, because I don't like I don't like
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: my kids eating too much fried foods. So I came
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: up with shrimp Allo, Bobby, which is which is basically,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: uh was like stage shrimp. It's like, um, it's like
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a shrimp scamp. It's like a shrimp scamp, but with
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: peppers and different ingredients. We get the vegetables in there
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: with his peppers, colorful peppers. And of course kids love rice.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they're all they're always very picky about what
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: their soft looks like, so he makes an amazing soft
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Let's let's switch gears to go to the entertainment here,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Bobby Brown, why do people love you? Man? Why they
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: love you man? I'm just Bobby, like your cousin. Because
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: see the thing about it is that we've had an
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: interesting life. You know, when I was managing Steve, we've
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: always crossed whether it's an interview or being on stage
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: or acting. I remember we did the movie together with
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Beyonce that he was acting and that, and I always say,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: this guy can really really act. Your your comedic actor,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: but also a serious actor. Any aspirations to really take that,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: you know, go down that lane and acting there other
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: than yes, yes, um, but right there, for right now, Um,

  Speaker 1: we had this forward car, this brand new car in
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: front of the stage. You know I'm talking about. Bobby
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Brown was on that car board for them. The executive
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: is he going, then let's speak quiet. Bobby Brown slid
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: on that car. Boy there, nobody I've been doing this
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: show fourteens. Nobody ever still on the call, slid on
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the car, touched the car until Bobby Brown came along.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Said it was OUs of people, was always sold out.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: There's sixteen thousand people at the Engine brand and knew it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Just you came out there and Bobby Brown did his day.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: He jumped on that car and ball everybody went. It
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: was like and he didn't even fall off everyone. I
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: didn't try laugh and I didn't do it. That's the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: key right there. He didn't did it. But that's the
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: part about it, because you know, you are like uh,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you know, like you know, like you you're you're a

  Speaker 1: little Elvis. You know your James Brown, You're You're, and

• 46:22
  Speaker 1: about that, tell me about I read the bio. But
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the people who public needs to hear your story. Yeah, well,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you know what, And it's funny that people people now, um,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: within the last I guess probably a year or two,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: have become a little more public. So prior to that,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I really kept a low profile and I really focused. Yeah,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: you know this this day, this dream happened for me. Um.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: It's kind of I feel like I say, television chose me.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily chose it. And I had a passion
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: for doing something that was behind the camera and low
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: in the hole, that had this idea and just the
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: right place at the right time. I met a producer
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: in l A through a friend of mine to all
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: out there, sat down and started talking to him. I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: bought a completely different concept or a different idea that
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I had, and during that conversation he started to talk
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: to me about different things they were working on and
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and I was familiar or got familiar with a franchise
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: called The Real Housewives of Orange County, which was you
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: know this is two thousands and six seven, UM, and
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I kind of said, you know this Atlanta, this show
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: belongs in Atlanta. This is and there was nothing like it.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Nobody was taking a chance on female UM black ensembles
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: for sure, and you know, listen, they were candid and
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: told me that like, go, okay, well you know what
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you say, And I said, I definitely this is something
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: that needs to be seen. I can do this, give
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: me three weeks and then a lot of the short
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: is yeah, I said, you know, give me three weeks
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: and believed in myself and knew that I can really
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: come here. And I only been and let let me
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: say a full disclosure, I am from Canada and I
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: really been in Atlanta for about i'd say almost a
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: full year fully. Um. Yeah, So so it took a
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Canadian bragging this show needs have been Atlanta night to
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: be here. Yeah, and I believe in it. I just
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: came back and started talking to friends, and we'd traveled
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: and my second interview was Missnini leaks Um and the
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: rest of history because she really I loved her and
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I always said, well, who are your friends? And I
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: had been interviewing women anyhow. So there's a lot of
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: people of the city who knew me from the very
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: beginning when this was just a dream and of hope
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: and you know, sitting on my basement floor trying to
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: find people. Sonni kind of introduced me to her friends.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I interviewed them with Sports in Network production company loved
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: it and I just kind of went with it and
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the train was moving, and thank god it did, and
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I jumped on and was able to sell that concept
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seven an hour in season eleven, and yeah,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and now I'm kind of finally stepping out and saying,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: you know, listen, um, if I can do it, you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: any any anyone can and or certainly when men who
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: have you know, want to be able to pursue this
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: type of dreams. So that's my short, long version of time.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: So that's a very honest version because I know that
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: when you get a franchise this big is associated with
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of successful franchises. Now that you're coming out
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: of the coming out of the coming from the background,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: do people question your role in and do people question
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: your level participation? Listen, I will say this. I started
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to say this, um, and I started before I really
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: even realized it was a thing that people were saying.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: But I say, you know, you got to write your
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: own story or else someone else will write it for you.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Control your narrative exactly. That was what was starting to happen. Um.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Of course, people in the city. I had a big
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: premiere party season one at the W Hotel. It was
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: an epic party, about eight hundred people, all the chat media.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: It was really crazy. And so clearly back in two
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: thousand and seven, when I stepped up and thanked everybody
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: for you know, helping me to just to see my
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: dream come too light and my baby and all this stuff.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Right after that, about two years after that, I kind
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: of stepped back. And what happened was, I really, for me,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: it was overwhelming the media, people knowing you, the criticism,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and I just personally did not sign up for that part.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: So I really took a big step back and focused
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: on other projects and just cut myself quiet um. And
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: so really what happened was people just started assuming and
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: as television started to grow, people still don't understand how
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: television is made and sold. And a lot of times,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you get on the show and I worked
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: on the show. By the way I worked on season
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: wanted to very very I mean without working on it,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: there really I don't there couldn't have been a show
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: because I told all stories um with the producers of course,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: but I initiated what those stories were prior to the
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: show even selling. So I say all that to say
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I really did um and shy away from all of
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that and stayed away. And the longer I stay the
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: way listen, people started to just assume things like you know,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: some of the producers who were working on the show
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: created it, or even for lack of better understanding, men
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: created the show. We're supposed to lean had a huge
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: part in bringing her talents and her gifts and other
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: women to the show. However, there was this one young
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: woman who just kind of stepped up and did it
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: with the help of others. Of course, um, you know
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: in the network saying yet and so I just kind
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: of started to tell my story and now people are like, oh, yeah,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I remember that, you know, I listen. There's a lot
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: of people who, um, were there from the beginning that
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: are now very very successful, people who are always you know,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: for you as that question because sometimes you know, in
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: this business, what you've learned is there's no word of
