Speaker 1: to show us about entrepreneurship is about branding, is about
1:01
Speaker 1: getting word out about information that you need to know,
1:03
Speaker 1: that you need to be aware of, and allow my
1:06
Speaker 1: guests to come on the show and have an open
1:07
Speaker 1: form about communicating the value of what they're what there
1:12
Speaker 1: the venture or the job or the career or the
1:16
Speaker 1: business that they're involved in, and the importance of it
1:19
Speaker 1: in the community. My main thing about money Making conversation
1:22
Speaker 1: is bringing value to people who seem to be devalued.
1:25
Speaker 1: That's especially in the minority community. And I always tell
1:28
Speaker 1: people that, uh, we're all are good taxpayers, we all
1:31
Speaker 1: all pay a certain level of taxes, but we should
1:33
Speaker 1: be recognized for our value. And sometimes we aren't recognized
1:37
Speaker 1: for our value and guess what we're left out. And
1:40
Speaker 1: so money making conversations about giving information to individuals so
1:43
Speaker 1: they won't be left out. And so my next guest
1:45
Speaker 1: representing organization that provides children facing adversity with strong and endearing,
1:50
Speaker 1: professionally supported one to one mentoring relationships that ignite the
1:54
Speaker 1: power and promise of youth. Nearly half a million children
1:57
Speaker 1: and metroid Land to live in commlearly is with low
2:00
Speaker 1: well being. That's very important. Did I say that their
2:04
Speaker 1: vital mission is to recruit volunteers to become mentors to
2:07
Speaker 1: children facing adversity? Please work on the money making conversation.
2:11
Speaker 1: The president and CEO of Big Brother, Big Sister Foundation
2:15
Speaker 1: and volunteer Recruitment manager of Greater loss ange A, Greater Atlanta,
2:19
Speaker 1: Kwami Johnson and Juliet. Yeah that's name. You look at me,
2:31
Speaker 1: She mouthed her name. I need the help on the phone.
2:36

2:39
Speaker 1: First of all, how are you doing, Qualmie? Oh man,
2:40
Speaker 1: I'm great man, it's Monday. I'm blessed to be here.
2:42
Speaker 1: We appreciate you giving us this opportunity to come in.
2:44
Speaker 1: Cool and Juliet, you have a Nigerian heritage. Yes, yes, um,
2:49
Speaker 1: first generation night Jaring American crazy story. I was born
2:53
Speaker 1: in America. Um. Four days later my parents moved back
2:56
Speaker 1: to Nigeria. Crazy almost killed me. But thank I'm still here.
3:00
Speaker 1: And then I moved back to America when I was
3:02
Speaker 1: four years Absolutely, that's that's great now. The initial question
3:05
Speaker 1: is I gotta ask you, comic, what is Big Brother
3:08
Speaker 1: Big sister. So Big Brothers, Big Sisters a Metro Atlanta
3:11
Speaker 1: is an amazing organization that is really helping young people
3:14
Speaker 1: reach their full potential through wonder one mentoring relationships. So
3:17
Speaker 1: we match young people in need all across the metropolitan
3:21
Speaker 1: with what we call big Brothers and big sisters. And
3:23
Speaker 1: these are men and women who have taken up challenge
3:25
Speaker 1: to really help a young person through building a relationship. Uh.
3:29
Speaker 1: We you know have great results of you know, kids
3:31
Speaker 1: going to next grade level, uh, graduating high school, avoiding
3:34
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system. And it's really through that personal
3:37
Speaker 1: one on one relationship. And that's our sweet sauce, not
3:39
Speaker 1: only here in Atlanta, but across the country through all
3:42
Speaker 1: of our big Brothers Big sisters. Well you're big brother,
3:44
Speaker 1: let slide over to a big sister. The uh, the
3:47
Speaker 1: the important role of young females because you know, we
3:51
Speaker 1: have a lot of things going on out there. We
3:53
Speaker 1: have you know, slave trading going on that so young
3:57
Speaker 1: females can get caught up into that. We have a
3:59
Speaker 1: street processitution, young females get caught up in that pregnancy,
4:03
Speaker 1: Young females can get caught up into that. Talk to
4:05
Speaker 1: me about that role of the big sister and volunteer,
4:08
Speaker 1: the importance of volunteers stepping into young females, like I'm
4:11
Speaker 1: not saying that young men aren't affected like that, but
4:14
Speaker 1: there are a lot of more physical barriers that a
4:16
Speaker 1: female can get abused in. And uh and we don't
4:19
Speaker 1: recognize that admit that publicly. Yeah, well I could speak
4:23
Speaker 1: first hand, and being a former little sister, I'm still
4:25
Speaker 1: if you want to technically call me a little sister,
4:27
Speaker 1: because I've been matched with my big since I was
4:30
Speaker 1: seven years old and we still have a strong relationship now.
4:33
Speaker 1: Um So I know firsthand of why this organization is
4:37
Speaker 1: so great. Unlike a lot of the kids that we served,
4:39
Speaker 1: I came from an amazing family mom, dad, It was
4:42
Speaker 1: just five of us. I was a middle child and
4:44
Speaker 1: I was a little crazy. Um So my big sister
4:47
Speaker 1: was there to just stare me in the right direction.
4:49
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, being first generation Niningerian parents were
4:52
Speaker 1: really strict, and I think my way of not listening
4:56
Speaker 1: to them to be very rebellious and certain areas that
4:59
Speaker 1: we we lived in, I started to go down the
5:01
Speaker 1: wrong path. And it was so amazing to have my
5:04
Speaker 1: big sister Emily to Johnson he Emilita, who was there
5:07
Speaker 1: too to teach me and have those conversations that I
5:10
Speaker 1: couldn't have with my mom or my aunt's because they
5:14
Speaker 1: were so strict. Um. So I always tell ladies that, yes,
5:19
Speaker 1: we do talk about the boys a lot because we
5:21
Speaker 1: have that need for male mentors. But um, our young girls,
5:24
Speaker 1: our little girls, they needed as well with social media
5:27
Speaker 1: and self esteem. Do I want to look like Harley
5:29
Speaker 1: be Do I want to look like Nicki Minaj? And
5:32
Speaker 1: this all these different things right this These kids are
5:35
Speaker 1: strong now because social media. I'm so happy I didn't
5:37
Speaker 1: have it, um when I was their age. But having
5:41
Speaker 1: that person to tell you that you don't have to
5:42
Speaker 1: look like that or dress like that to get any
5:44
Speaker 1: attention or to be special. So um, it's it's just
5:48
Speaker 1: important for our our ladies as well to step up
5:50
Speaker 1: to be mentors. Well you know the reason why is
5:56
Speaker 1: why is bringing up Big Brother Big Sister organization on
5:59
Speaker 1: the show because it's abou mentoring. This is just people
6:02
Speaker 1: successful males and females who in the entrepreneur world, academic world,
6:07
Speaker 1: career career, uh success in the careers and employers and employees.
6:12
Speaker 1: This is the part of the game. That I always say,
6:14
Speaker 1: the balanced life, the giving back. That's why I have
6:17
Speaker 1: you too on the show to talk about Big Brother,
6:19
Speaker 1: Big Sister and any other organization that leverages their relationship
6:23
Speaker 1: to empower our youth to be better citizens in this
6:26
Speaker 1: country through academics, through just lifestyle and personal well being.
6:31
Speaker 1: So what is when used to your role, your overall role,
6:35
Speaker 1: what disappoints you and which excites you about how people
6:38
Speaker 1: come to the Big Brother, Big Sister Foundation. Yeah, so
6:42
Speaker 1: you know, you know, my my role, I think is
6:44
Speaker 1: to be an example to young people that whatever you
6:48
Speaker 1: want to achieve in life as possible. Outside of my
6:50
Speaker 1: role as the CEO Big Brothers Big Sisters, I've been
6:52
Speaker 1: in that life, had challenges of my own and I'm
6:55
Speaker 1: happy to be here because you know, it could have
6:57
Speaker 1: went the wrong way and I wouldn't be here. But
6:59
Speaker 1: you know what, what is you know, always on my
7:01
Speaker 1: mind about Atlanta is just the challenges that kids in
7:04
Speaker 1: poverty face in Atlanta. If you're born in poverty in Atlanta,
7:07
Speaker 1: you have a four percent chance to make it out.
7:09
Speaker 1: And how is that possible in a city like Atlanta
7:11
Speaker 1: with all the history? Uh for that to be possible?
7:15
Speaker 1: The flip side of that is, I know that our
7:17
Speaker 1: kids avoid the chronical justice system. I graduate high school
7:21
Speaker 1: and if you look at all the data, the fastest
7:23
Speaker 1: way out of poverty is a high school diploma or
7:25
Speaker 1: you know the thing about it. Okay, I'm a member
7:27
Speaker 1: of Mega Sci five return. So when I hear and
7:30
Speaker 1: when out one of all male fraternity service especially service
7:34
Speaker 1: community or involvement, are you guys sued potentially involvement? Oh
7:40
Speaker 1: male fraternities. Yeah. We we do a lot of work
7:42
Speaker 1: with with all the different fraternities and they do great
7:45
Speaker 1: work UM and we've had recruiting events where we had Omega's,
7:49
Speaker 1: the Alpha's, the Kappa's come in and help recruit men.
7:53
Speaker 1: Many of those organizations also have mentoring organizations and mentoring
7:56
Speaker 1: programs already, so we provided guidance at HIM to help
7:59
Speaker 1: them do their their work better. So we look at
8:01
Speaker 1: all types of affinity groups to bring them in and
8:04
Speaker 1: it's really getting in front of the right folks and saying, hey,
8:06
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing. How can we partner, Can
8:08
Speaker 1: we help you with your mentoring program? Can you help
8:10
Speaker 1: us recruit mentors? UM? And it's worked really great. So
8:13
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of success. We just launched a
8:15
Speaker 1: partnership with the Mayor's office called a hundred Men to
8:18
Speaker 1: Mentor Challenge, where the Mayor issued a hundred Men to
8:22
Speaker 1: Mentors Challenge. So Mayor Bottoms as a part of her
8:25
Speaker 1: My Brother's Keeper initiative, which is a big part of
8:28
Speaker 1: one Atlanta equity making Atlanta a great city for everybody,
8:32
Speaker 1: has partnered with us to match a hundred boys on
8:34
Speaker 1: our waiting lists in the city of Atlanta, and that
8:36
Speaker 1: challenge went out. Over two hundred men have raised their
8:39
Speaker 1: hand and have come in and are now going through
8:41
Speaker 1: our process. So those are unique ways we can sing
8:46
Speaker 1: all that. So just to get to the meat and
8:47
Speaker 1: bones of what it would take to become a big
8:49
Speaker 1: brother or big sister for the folks in the room
8:51
Speaker 1: and who are listening, we you have to first agree
8:54
Speaker 1: to do one year. Right. We know if you come
8:56
Speaker 1: into a young kid's life for less than a year,
8:58
Speaker 1: you're gonna do more damage. That's that's the non negotiable.
9:01
Speaker 1: Can you do this for a year? We want you
9:02
Speaker 1: to do it longer than that. Most matches last three years.
9:05
Speaker 1: We've had matches last ten years. We've had matches open up,
9:07
Speaker 1: flip Burger on how mill um to go back to
9:10
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur peace um. And then we asked you for
9:12
Speaker 1: at least eight hours a month, can you spend eight
9:14
Speaker 1: hours a month? I do it my little eight and
9:16
Speaker 1: I make the time to make it happen. And then
9:18
Speaker 1: we get to know you. We screen you, of course,
9:20
Speaker 1: want to make sure you're safer kids, and then we
9:22
Speaker 1: match you when a young person of your preference uh
9:25
Speaker 1: to make it happen in through that relationship magic when
9:27
Speaker 1: you say, when you say you match, let's talk about that,
9:30
Speaker 1: and you use the word preference, talk to us about yees.
9:32
Speaker 1: So if you've ever heard of match dot com or
9:34
Speaker 1: those kind of places, you know, relationships are based on
9:37
Speaker 1: you know, preferences and what you like and what that
9:40
Speaker 1: person likes. And we use that same technology and in
9:43
Speaker 1: thinking in our matches because we want the matches the last. Again,
9:46
Speaker 1: so you may want to work with a young person
9:48
Speaker 1: who's ten, who's in the entrepreneurship and maybe wants to
9:51
Speaker 1: get into this business at some point, so we would
9:53
Speaker 1: find that right match for you. We wouldn't just say hey,
9:55
Speaker 1: here's this kid, you know, and we'd also make sure
9:58
Speaker 1: that that young person lives near you, because we know
9:59
Speaker 1: that matters within fifteen miles or where you live. So
10:02
Speaker 1: we know we have kids in College Park, South Ful
10:04
Speaker 1: different parts of the city that are waiting longer than
10:07
Speaker 1: other kids. But we use that preference and all that
10:09
Speaker 1: to make the match. And then we ask you to
10:11
Speaker 1: support you with a coach, so not only are you matched,
10:14
Speaker 1: you have someone who walk alongside you in that match
10:17
Speaker 1: to make sure you're successful, so you're not learning on
10:19
Speaker 1: the fly. The situations come up all the time every day.
10:22
Speaker 1: You know, you might want to call into us and say, hey,
10:24
Speaker 1: you know I'm dealing with the situation. What do you think?
10:25
Speaker 1: Or hey, I need some tickets to the Hawks game?
10:27
Speaker 1: Can you make it happen? That's what we provide. Hawks
10:33
Speaker 1: gonna be on fire. This hip, well, let's talk about
10:37
Speaker 1: this app man, und All, you need a hundred right
10:44
Speaker 1: now down that right now. Roshan just signed that. The
10:47
Speaker 1: Hawks broke me in, you know, But that's it. But
10:53
Speaker 1: that's how you get everything. Like I love the fact
10:56
Speaker 1: that you understand why people will give up a quit
11:00
Speaker 1: or distance driving. You sign up for a kid who
11:04
Speaker 1: was in the athletics and you know you ain't got
11:06
Speaker 1: time for that. You want to. You know, it's just
11:08
Speaker 1: making sure that there's a like minded relationship. So it's
11:11
Speaker 1: a long term relationship. Again, you know we've talked about
11:14
Speaker 1: we talked about bars a lot. Let's go back to
11:16

Speaker 1: to be Rashwan. He accepted that after a while because
15:44
Speaker 1: everybody kept calling me Rashan. But the key is in
15:48
Speaker 1: life is what people expect of you and then you deliver.
15:51
Speaker 1: I that's called motivating yourself to be a winner. And
15:55
Speaker 1: I've always felt that my parents allowed me to be Rashaan,
15:58
Speaker 1: allowed me to be myself, all me to make my
16:00
Speaker 1: own decisions. Some people might take that and say, hey,
16:04
Speaker 1: they should have been there for ye at every every
16:06
Speaker 1: corner should have should have assisted your ability to be successful.
16:11
Speaker 1: What do you define this success? Some people define success
16:14
Speaker 1: is a lot of money. Some people just find success
16:16
Speaker 1: as a big house, a car, the amount of food
16:18
Speaker 1: they can consume. So find your lane and be consistent
16:23
Speaker 1: about it. Then you can be successful. And don't define
16:27
Speaker 1: how much sleep you get, how much sleep you don't get.
16:30
Speaker 1: That's how much you can be successful. Some people look
16:33
Speaker 1: at me in the schedule. I have get up at
16:36
Speaker 1: four am on a daily basis, and I've learned that
16:39
Speaker 1: if I don't get up at four fifteen, I'm physically
16:41
Speaker 1: trained that I've become very dysfunctional. But I get up
16:44
Speaker 1: at six o'clock because I missed some valuable uh time,
16:49
Speaker 1: preparation time. I've learned that I need two hours to
16:51
Speaker 1: get my life roller, and after that I'm I'm good,
16:54
Speaker 1: but knowing that it's what you need to get your
16:57
Speaker 1: life ready. When I bring people on the show, I
17:00
Speaker 1: try to allow them to speak about their success stories,
17:03
Speaker 1: also speak about those moments in their life where they
17:05
Speaker 1: felt felt a lot of doubt, a lot of ability
17:10
Speaker 1: to not feel successful, that that their dreams were being questions,
17:13
Speaker 1: their efforts are being questions, their ability to be successful
17:16
Speaker 1: being questions. That's what money making conversation is all about.
17:19
Speaker 1: My next yest first time on my show, First time show.
17:22
Speaker 1: But I've watched her many many times, but next guest

17:28
Speaker 1: hundred meters Right there. You know that's something I can't do.
17:31
Speaker 1: Male or female. I can never be the fastest. I
17:34
Speaker 1: cannot be the fastest talker the fastest either. I definitely
17:37
Speaker 1: could not be the fastest person on the track. She's
17:40
Speaker 1: a Jamaican American former track and field athlete who completed
17:43
Speaker 1: Internet who competed internationally for the United States. In addition

18:31
Speaker 1: of the conversations you've had and also fologies, so thanks
18:34
Speaker 1: for having me. Well, first of all, where are you
18:36
Speaker 1: at right now? We're part of the country of the world,
18:38
Speaker 1: the state were here, so we can just landmark that first.
18:42
Speaker 1: So I'm in Austin, Texas. This is where I live.
18:44
Speaker 1: I've been here since I came to the University of
18:47
Speaker 1: Texas for college. So I am home in Austin, Texas. Now,
18:51
Speaker 1: you but you do yourr but your foundation, your clinic
18:54
Speaker 1: isn't keens to Jamaica. Correct, Okay, do you do? You do?
18:59
Speaker 1: You do the same thing in Austin, Texas where your
19:01
Speaker 1: home or usually feel there's a need for it in
19:03
Speaker 1: in Jamaica. Well no, So my husband and I do
19:07
Speaker 1: clinic from done clinics all over the country. But the
19:10
Speaker 1: main clinic that I started in I guess that was
19:12
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine in Kingston, Jamaica. I'm from Jamaica,
19:16
Speaker 1: like you mentioned at the top of the show, and
19:18
Speaker 1: one of the things that really pulled that my heart
19:20
Speaker 1: string was when I was traveling about and I would
19:22
Speaker 1: compete in Jamaica every year. I started to hear that
19:25
Speaker 1: in literacy was rising in my country. And one of
19:28
Speaker 1: the things I always is so proud of was the
19:30
Speaker 1: education I received in Jamaica and so um as you
19:33
Speaker 1: can't imagine, money goes a lot further in a third
19:35
Speaker 1: world country like Jamaica. And so I just put some
19:38
Speaker 1: money and I got a bunch of other friends to
19:40
Speaker 1: help me, and some other great organizations to support us
19:43
Speaker 1: and who were able to start a really significant program there.
19:45
Speaker 1: So um, the one in Jamaica was the biggest one.
19:48
Speaker 1: And then we've done my husband that's football camps in Tyler, Texas.
19:50
Speaker 1: San Antonio has done a camp in Florida. Um, But
19:54
Speaker 1: the one that I had the most staying power and
19:56
Speaker 1: the most longevity was our our camp in Kingston, Jamaica. Great.
20:00
Speaker 1: I was just in Jamaica vacation. That was at the
20:03
Speaker 1: half More Result. You know some one of my favorites.
20:06
Speaker 1: You know, you got me some good foods. You know
20:08
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's a good yes, yes, it's you
20:13
Speaker 1: know girl. So I had a good time. So I
20:18
Speaker 1: just got back. So it's really great talking about it.
20:20
Speaker 1: Here's my number one question. Do you when does an
20:22
Speaker 1: athlete stop being an athlete? Oh? That is a really
20:27
Speaker 1: good question. You know, you get interviewed all the time
20:29
Speaker 1: and you're always like, oh, that's gonna be the same questions.
20:31
Speaker 1: No one has ever asked me that, And um, you know,
20:35
Speaker 1: I think the answer to that was shot. If you
20:37
Speaker 1: never do, you never do. I think that being an
20:40
Speaker 1: athlete is so much more than it's running on a
20:42
Speaker 1: track or drinking a basketball. I think it's a lifestyle
20:45
Speaker 1: and um, and so I feel like I'm still an
20:47
Speaker 1: athlete today, you know, whether it's being a mom or
20:50
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur some of the other things that I do.
20:52
Speaker 1: I have carried so many of the lessons and experiences
20:55
Speaker 1: that I've learned from sports, and so I still feel
20:58
Speaker 1: like an athlete right now. Well, you know the things
21:01
Speaker 1: I always admired to buy track athletes, that's the fast
21:04
Speaker 1: track athletes, which those apps. You know, oh my god,
21:08
Speaker 1: the six pack, the fourteen packs, the thirty packs, because
21:13
Speaker 1: is it because of the lifting those knees, those legs
21:16
Speaker 1: and get the rapid rade you kind of like doing
21:18
Speaker 1: those those stomach crunches and everything when you're flying around
21:21
Speaker 1: that track, because you know, y'all just be show both
21:24
Speaker 1: with the apps. Well, you know, it's it's it's a
21:27
Speaker 1: little bit of both ra Sean like of course running
21:30
Speaker 1: every day and the movements that we do. But I
21:33
Speaker 1: actually did a thousand set up every day, five days
21:35
Speaker 1: a week for the majority of my career. Um, so
21:38
Speaker 1: those apps were not only, I guess beautiful, but they
21:41
Speaker 1: were very functional because the four hundred uh like you
21:45
Speaker 1: mentioned that was my expertise on the American record holder
21:48
Speaker 1: painful exactly, and wanted to run the final hundred. Well,
21:52
Speaker 1: you really need to have a strong course. So I
21:55
Speaker 1: did a lot of training to to get those six
21:57
Speaker 1: pack apps that I missed them about. Okay, wait, wait,
22:01
Speaker 1: wait wait, you just said that athletes has never stopped. Okay,
22:03
Speaker 1: you're talking about you slipping there. Let people talk you
22:07
Speaker 1: right there. But banana banana splits and everything. A thousand
22:12
Speaker 1: you did? A thousand was the leg raises or you know,
22:18
Speaker 1: because some people cheat when they say a thousand sit ups?
22:21
Speaker 1: Would you put the locked fingers behind the head? Sit up?
22:24
Speaker 1: What type of sit us will you do? I was
22:27
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of we called we said, I would
22:29
Speaker 1: say core exercises. I would do the traditional core, we
22:32
Speaker 1: would do weighted core. We would be planking time time
22:35
Speaker 1: to core said, ball core, physio, ball core, all kinds
22:39
Speaker 1: of different core exercises, focusing on the front core. I
22:42
Speaker 1: don't feel the back. A lot of people forget that
22:44
Speaker 1: your back is a part of your core, the private stability.
22:46
Speaker 1: I do a lot of core training on my back
22:48
Speaker 1: as well. You know, it's really interesting when I when
22:50
Speaker 1: I look at athletes and who are as accomplished as you.
22:54
Speaker 1: You know, because of the fact that you know there
22:56
Speaker 1: you can look at different things become seasonal it is.
22:59
Speaker 1: That's such a thing, that's a seasonal period for a
23:01
Speaker 1: track athlete. No, I mean, I feel like we don't
23:05
Speaker 1: train year round. When I was training competitively, I would
23:09
Speaker 1: take four to six weeks off every year. But even
23:12
Speaker 1: that time, even though yes I wasn't running or in
23:14
Speaker 1: the gym, I was still operating like a high level athlete.
23:17
Speaker 1: So I'm still trying to eat well and resting well
23:19
Speaker 1: and still taking care of my body. So I don't
23:21
Speaker 1: think there's anything as a seasonal professional athlete. I think that, um,
23:26
Speaker 1: it's usually profession a professional athlete, it's uh, you know,
23:29
Speaker 1: it's a year round tip it mint uh, and you're
23:31
Speaker 1: always thinking about trying to get the best out of
23:34
Speaker 1: your body even in the off season. Well, you know
23:36
Speaker 1: because of the fact that, you know, when I think
23:38
Speaker 1: about just trying to be in shape. I'm gonna tell
23:40
Speaker 1: you something, I'm the worst person you hang out with me. Um,
23:44
Speaker 1: you really be going, Rishawn, ridiculous the way you are,
23:48
Speaker 1: you know, because I fool people. You know, I look
23:49
Speaker 1: like I'm in shape and then you go, yes, you
23:52
Speaker 1: do really desserts before you eat your meals. Yeah, so
23:57
Speaker 1: stop looking at me like I'm crazy, because that's gonna
23:59
Speaker 1: happen all the time. And so do you do you
24:01
Speaker 1: train people? Or do you do you do people? Could
24:03
Speaker 1: people come to you? I'm sure you know, because I've
24:06
Speaker 1: looked at the resume, but what do what do you
24:08
Speaker 1: do when people ask for training, advice or or just
24:11
Speaker 1: look at you? They said, well, oh, you know from Jamerica?
24:14
Speaker 1: You know, just God given, you know, I just I
24:17
Speaker 1: do my thousands set ups, I've got fast feats, this
24:19
Speaker 1: is my life. Yeah, because people just assumed that you
24:24
Speaker 1: just were giving it, you know, and that's that's an
24:26
Speaker 1: insult to what you have achieved as an athlete. Correct.
24:30
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean did god given challenge is just
24:33
Speaker 1: the basis um and the foundation and you have to
24:36
Speaker 1: build on if you want to be a great athletist.
24:38
Speaker 1: So I was definitely going and gifted with UH with speed,
24:42
Speaker 1: but I mean too many hours and worth and commitment
24:46
Speaker 1: to be able to be the best in the world.
24:48
Speaker 1: That you also asked if I coach other esthletes and
24:51
Speaker 1: stuff that you know, I'm so grateful for the amazing
24:54
Speaker 1: coaches I've had my entire career fromm not cut out
24:56
Speaker 1: to be account I don't feel bad. Don't feel bad, yeah,
25:00
Speaker 1: but but what do you think I do love? And
25:01
Speaker 1: I'm really passionate about it's mentoring young athletes, and so
25:05
Speaker 1: never athletes reach out to me or any athlete that's
25:07
Speaker 1: kind of been in my shield, whether HUM in Austin
25:10
Speaker 1: THEUT asking until some of the young professionals. I'm always
25:13
Speaker 1: excited about helping to mentor them to guide them through
25:17
Speaker 1: that transition from the collegiate ranks into the professional ranks.
25:20
Speaker 1: So I don't coach athletes, and if athletes young athletes
25:23
Speaker 1: reach out to the social media or dm ME, I
25:24
Speaker 1: always try to send them back and encouragement or something
25:27
Speaker 1: I feel I could share that might help them get
25:29
Speaker 1: over the home. But as far as coaching, I don't
25:31
Speaker 1: think that's something I never say never, but it's something
25:34
Speaker 1: that's in my future. Okay, mommy Nation will get off

Speaker 1: want to make sure that when you come that you
31:19
Speaker 1: let them know ahead of time. I said, I don't.
31:20
Speaker 1: I don't do that. I want to go in there
31:22
Speaker 1: and enjoy the experience. The experience was amazing. Okay. So
31:26
Speaker 1: so when I got there, you know, I drove around
31:28
Speaker 1: trying to find me a place to park, all right,
31:30
Speaker 1: because it's right over there by the Georgia Acquirum. Correct. Okay,
31:33
Speaker 1: Then I realized, you just parked right across the street
31:36
Speaker 1: at the Georgia Acquirtment. That's why I wounded up. Parking
31:38
Speaker 1: right across the street was comfortable, it was easy, and
31:40
Speaker 1: I walked across the street. That was that the hotel,
31:43
Speaker 1: the spring Hill Sweets. I was walking up the street
31:46
Speaker 1: from spring Hill Sweets to the restaurant A line of
31:48
Speaker 1: Practice club. I smelt this aroma of great food. I
31:52
Speaker 1: almost felt like they had a fan in front of
31:53
Speaker 1: my face, you know, with the food. Just let me know.
31:56
Speaker 1: And then I got there there was that was a line.
31:58
Speaker 1: It wasn't a line that heard me away, but there
32:00
Speaker 1: was someone, which is a good thing, you know. I
32:02
Speaker 1: mean you you want to be in places that you
32:04
Speaker 1: can't get in sometimes because you want to figure out
32:06
Speaker 1: why they want to get in before you. So the
32:09
Speaker 1: the staff was with gracious, put me down, they spoke.
32:14
Speaker 1: I sat down, and for my staff, I took up.
32:17
Speaker 1: I took a smath and I took a deal. I
32:19
Speaker 1: told him, hey, man, because you have great pictures, because
32:22
Speaker 1: you have on you on your screens, you have like
32:25
Speaker 1: pictures of different food and people having a good time
32:27
Speaker 1: and different events and things like that. And then on
32:29
Speaker 1: your menu, I said I could just I said, just
32:32
Speaker 1: let me order. So I ordered the peach cobbler French toast. Okay,
32:38
Speaker 1: that's who made that one up? Who who made that one?
32:40
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Bro, No, don't be
32:45
Speaker 1: don't I loved Hey, don't be looking over it that.
32:49
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I made that one. Okay, So now that's
32:52
Speaker 1: a combination though of peach cobbler in French to How
32:56
Speaker 1: did that come about? Now, because you know you could
32:58
Speaker 1: talk to me how it came about. I think, you know,
33:02
Speaker 1: it's just just the thought process of education for food.
33:06
Speaker 1: What we wanted was something was a t l you know,
33:09
Speaker 1: we wanted something that's spoke indigenous to the city. We
33:11
Speaker 1: wanted peaches. We wanted peach, we wanted cobble or we
33:14
Speaker 1: wanted brown sugar, we wanted sent him, and we wanted
33:17
Speaker 1: we wanted audacious though. We didn't want to just have
33:19
Speaker 1: it just a regular peach cobblin the regular French toes.
33:22
Speaker 1: So we combined it to being in the breakfast industry.
33:25
Speaker 1: That that that that will work in New Orleans, that
33:28
Speaker 1: work in Houston, that working doll that work in Chicago.
33:31
Speaker 1: So so I'm like, you know, you might think it's
33:34
Speaker 1: authentic of made it for the Georgia peach of Atlanta, Georgia.
33:38
Speaker 1: I'm from Houston, Texas. Boy that work from I can
33:42
Speaker 1: took that home to my my sisters all up there,
33:44
Speaker 1: the child down on that. So you got something working

Speaker 1: the country to your place. Okay, then I had the
33:53
Speaker 1: that that that that breakfast bowl. Tell me about how
33:56

Speaker 1: fly a lot. They let you need lounges. And somebody
34:34
Speaker 1: decided to put grits out there. Oh no, they did
34:38
Speaker 1: not know what they were doing. I called the people
34:40
Speaker 1: in the back, that's excuse me, before y'all ruined other
34:43
Speaker 1: people's lives eating these grits. Get them out of here.
34:46

34:52

35:00
Speaker 1: oh sorrys from Miami. I'm from North floor. Yeah, that's
35:04
Speaker 1: that's you know. But there's nothing like a good bowl
35:08
Speaker 1: of grits, man, because grits. Grits takes patience. You can't
35:11
Speaker 1: expedite the process, so it being made correctly. People that
35:16
Speaker 1: you know, you don't know why you appreciate a good
35:17
Speaker 1: bowl of grits until you've seen the process, because your
35:20
Speaker 1: bowl of grits might be Oh I cook them really nice,
35:22
Speaker 1: and they had a good brand. There's their stone ground.
35:26
Speaker 1: But my migrits are who came up with grits. I
35:30
Speaker 1: saw I saw a woman with with the rocks in
35:33
Speaker 1: her hand, grating corn to add water to while the
35:36
Speaker 1: man were in the field to survive. That's where grit started. Me.
35:40
Speaker 1: Grits tell the story of how don't even get here?
35:42
Speaker 1: How are you at this table right now? Because someone
35:45
Speaker 1: took the to the byproduct of corn and rub it together.
35:49
Speaker 1: It was nothing. They added water and they found salt
35:52
Speaker 1: and they stirred it up and they fed twenty people
35:54
Speaker 1: with it. So that's what grits are too. So people
35:56
Speaker 1: that valuate tell you the process, right, Yeah, I put
36:02
Speaker 1: a little pep on that. When I was younger, my

37:27
Speaker 1: take our fine dining and busics experience and to convert
37:31
Speaker 1: that into quaint breakfast food. Good. Now, I'm sorry, You've
37:35
Speaker 1: been very nice sitting back there. You're the co owner

Speaker 1: I know my lane. Okay, what is your lane when
37:46
Speaker 1: it comes to the good company, good for good food
37:49
Speaker 1: and company? Well, you know it's um, it's a it's
37:54
Speaker 1: an interesting lane because it uh pours over into a
37:58
Speaker 1: lot of what he does. But you know, for me,
38:00
Speaker 1: I've been a student of all the great food that
38:04
Speaker 1: he's produced and the ingredients and the various menu concepts
38:09
Speaker 1: that he's also produced. So I've learned in this kind
38:13
Speaker 1: of structure, I've learned how to incorporate my business function
38:17
Speaker 1: with how how do we grow this brand effectively? But
38:22
Speaker 1: using these key ingredients and profiling him as an executive
38:27
Speaker 1: chef on a whole another level in terms of creating
38:31
Speaker 1: that platform that's timeless. So for us, it's about doing
38:36
Speaker 1: something new and fresh, even even on the business side
38:40
Speaker 1: of it. So that's been fun, that's been interesting. Um,
38:45
Speaker 1: I mean we talk about it every day. It's it's
38:49
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stress involved in what we do,
38:51
Speaker 1: but it's manageable. And I don't know if anyone ever realized,
38:56
Speaker 1: but this is some exciting stress. It's pretty siding and
39:01
Speaker 1: you know the the titling song living your best life,
39:06
Speaker 1: you know, we that's what we are truly doing. So
39:09
Speaker 1: when we came, when our paths crossed, we both came
39:11
Speaker 1: from backgrounds of heart learned lessons and truly we were prepared,
39:18
Speaker 1: uh in those in those lessons we've been we've been
39:22
Speaker 1: prepared for this moment, for this time, and now we're
39:25
Speaker 1: just excited about all the opportunities, because I can tell
39:29
Speaker 1: you this, every opportunity that that is before us has
39:35
Speaker 1: walked through those doors on to forty nine and Ivan
39:38
Speaker 1: Allen Junor Boulevard at the Atlanta Breakfast Club. I'm sorry
39:42
Speaker 1: you guys about to open a new location. Tell us
39:43
Speaker 1: about why you open a new location. Doesn't make you nervous?
39:47
Speaker 1: You can open new location, and how do you promote
39:50
Speaker 1: the new location so it won't get you know, we'll
39:52
Speaker 1: take away from your your primary location right. Well, the
39:56
Speaker 1: y is is simple. It's because, um, we a blessed
40:00
Speaker 1: to have people like yourself who demand a great product
40:04
Speaker 1: in many different areas and location. So we we definitely
40:07
Speaker 1: have to answer the call for that. Um, it's a
40:10
Speaker 1: it's a twist on the food concept in itself. It's
40:13
Speaker 1: more of an abbreviated version of what we're doing now
40:16
Speaker 1: to Lanta Breakfast Club. But nonetheless it is a truly
40:20
Speaker 1: exciting venture. UM. The interesting thing though with this particular
40:24
Speaker 1: location is it is a historic building on three forty
40:30
Speaker 1: Auburn Avenue, down the street from ebonez Or Baptist Church.
40:34
Speaker 1: And so therefore, um, we sat down one day, we
40:37
Speaker 1: looked at it and and although you get a location
40:41
Speaker 1: most times people you know the ideas, let's do the
40:44
Speaker 1: same thing we did here. You know, we're we're pretty gutsy,
40:48
Speaker 1: you know, we figured, you know, let's create a different concept.
40:52
Speaker 1: And this concept involves a craft, a nitrocraft beverage that
40:59
Speaker 1: through other relates sh ships, we've been able to cultivate.
41:02
Speaker 1: So this new location is dubbed as the Atlanta Breakfast
41:06
Speaker 1: Club Chicken and Waffles Nitro Coffee Counter. Um. So this
41:11
Speaker 1: this is a combination of great coffee, nitro craft beverages,
41:16
Speaker 1: and specialty chicken and waffles in terms of just how
41:21
Speaker 1: he has crafted that food concept. And and Mary the

Speaker 1: it's a platform or free platform for me to be
45:46
Speaker 1: able to give advice to other entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs. Um.
45:55
Speaker 1: And so what I do is, um, it's a lot
45:57
Speaker 1: of storytelling, telling my story and how it is that
46:01
Speaker 1: I get to where I am today. UM. And it's
46:04

46:55
Speaker 1: she can answer thousands of people. Are hundreds of people
46:58
Speaker 1: at the same time from an expert standpoint, because generally

Speaker 1: do I start a business? How do I have all attacks?
47:06
Speaker 1: Or how to employment? All all the things that people
47:10

47:50
Speaker 1: come about? You know, I said earlier, you're a serial entrepreneur.
47:54
Speaker 1: Talk about different business businesses that you have under that umbrella. Yeah,
48:00
Speaker 1: so I've been an entrepreneur for the past eleven years,
48:05
Speaker 1: ever since I was about I went to in Banner
48:07
Speaker 1: but the a sixteen, graduated at twenty, and I've been
48:11
Speaker 1: owning businesses ever since. About a year after college and so,
48:16
Speaker 1: um once I kind of had my travel and era
48:19
Speaker 1: and you know, some of those failures that actually started
48:22
Speaker 1: having successful businesses, um I decided to kind of put
48:26
Speaker 1: them under this umbrella Dealert Hospitality, you know, for all
48:30
Speaker 1: of my restaurant tentures. Um So, I've been here. I've
48:35
Speaker 1: been here in Atlanta for about ten years. I started
48:38
Speaker 1: a party bus company when I first moved here, A
48:41
Speaker 1: party of us, a party of bus company. Now, what
48:44
Speaker 1: exactly was that party busking, What exactly was that? Um?
48:49
Speaker 1: If I owned party buses and so people could rent
48:52
Speaker 1: the buses to take them out. UM. And so it
48:55
Speaker 1: was a really big thing, you know, back when I
48:58
Speaker 1: was doing it. UM. But yeah, so UM I was
49:02
Speaker 1: doing that, and I was doing it for about two
49:04
Speaker 1: or three years. It was it was fairly successful. You know,
49:06
Speaker 1: we've profited you know, over six figures a year and
49:10
Speaker 1: things of that nature. But it wasn't something that I
49:12
Speaker 1: love and something that I really enjoyed UM. And what
49:16
Speaker 1: I really love and enjoy doing is the actually the
49:18
Speaker 1: restaurants and the lounges and so UM. I saved my
49:22
Speaker 1: money from that business then was able to open up UM,
49:26
Speaker 1: which was my second lounge. I opened up my first
49:28
Speaker 1: lounge when I was twenty four, but my second one,
49:31
Speaker 1: which ended up being my first successful one, was the
49:33
Speaker 1: Hookah Hideaway with the owned right off of Auburn Avenue
49:38
Speaker 1: on yet THEO Junior Drive, and so UM started that business. UM.
49:43
Speaker 1: A couple of years into that venture, I was able
49:47
Speaker 1: to connect with the Rapper two Chains UM. I had
49:50
Speaker 1: wanted to do a second location UM and the business
49:54
Speaker 1: people kind of linked us together. I felt like we
49:56
Speaker 1: would be a good, good payer to do business with
50:00
Speaker 1: each other. UM and they were right, and um, you know,
50:04
Speaker 1: we we got together and we did Escobar Restaurant at
50:07
Speaker 1: the top of Us. We later opened Members Only Loud.
50:10
Speaker 1: She was just right downtown as well. Um, and then
50:13
Speaker 1: I also owned craze Um Slely by myself and the
50:18
Speaker 1: restaurant venture that I just opened a couple of weeks
50:20
Speaker 1: ago at a little five point And you know that Snoop, Snoop, Snoop,
50:27
Speaker 1: you're too much that you know, because you're not even
50:29
Speaker 1: stressing in this. I'm tired listening to you, Snoop. Somewhere
50:33
Speaker 1: along the line, I gotta stop you and say, first
50:36
Speaker 1: of all, you know, I went to Vanderbilt when I
50:38
Speaker 1: was sixteen, graduated when I was twenty. Jesus casually I
50:41
Speaker 1: went to I went to universitys to I was eighteen.
50:43
Speaker 1: I graduating, Okay, I'll just let you know what you're
50:45
Speaker 1: talking to. Okay, I got a math degree. But I'm
50:48
Speaker 1: gonna just slow you down. Now. I'm proud of my
50:50
Speaker 1: looking degree, but I wasn't sixteen and twenty okay. And
50:53
Speaker 1: then my next restaurant and then I had the Party Kings.
50:56
Speaker 1: We're making six figures, but I wasn't happy with the
50:58
Speaker 1: way I was making a six fake and I gotten
51:01
Speaker 1: business with a rapper. We hit it right off, you know,
51:04
Speaker 1: hit so now we got that, we got this, we
51:06
Speaker 1: got that, and then crazy I decided to do that
51:07
Speaker 1: on my own. Now let's talk about that. Let's talk
51:10
Speaker 1: about this thing. You're gonna have a driver next year
51:13
Speaker 1: because I want you to live to you old and
51:15
Speaker 1: Rushan McDonald telling you right now. You never met me before,
51:23
Speaker 1: but you know, I love you, girl, and I want
51:25
Speaker 1: you because you're doing stuff for the community, You're doing
51:28
Speaker 1: stuff for yourself. You're showing women a form of empowerment
51:32
Speaker 1: that you can do business multi levels of business in
51:36
Speaker 1: the hospitality world. Okay, what we know is a male
51:39
Speaker 1: dominated world. Okay, and so and being successful. So so,
51:44
Speaker 1: I jokingly just stopped you so you can hear yourself,
51:48
Speaker 1: because people like me, like you have a general tendency
51:52
Speaker 1: to just keep doing stuff. But don't understand that what
51:54
Speaker 1: you're doing is not normal. You know that you know
51:58
Speaker 1: what you're doing is not normal. Correct, Yeah, true, because
52:04
Speaker 1: a lot of times I think when you're super motivated person,
52:08
Speaker 1: you always doing a lot of things. You know it,
52:10
Speaker 1: Definitely it's really important to stop and smell your own
52:13
Speaker 1: roads and you know what I mean, And you know,
52:15
Speaker 1: kind of give yourself that pat on the back, you
52:17
Speaker 1: know you do. We forget to do that, you know
52:20
Speaker 1: you do. And I think that's important. That's why I
52:23
Speaker 1: developed this show because it's about being having a balanced life.
52:26
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't I wasn't really understanding that being
52:29
Speaker 1: able to because I was just onto the next, onto
52:31
Speaker 1: the next, onto the next. And sometimes you get nervous.
52:35
Speaker 1: Sometimes that nervousness drive you to the next because you
52:37
Speaker 1: don't know if you miss out on an opportunity, would
52:39
Speaker 1: it come around. But you know, your brand is such
52:41
Speaker 1: snoop that you know, I'm just looking at I'm just
52:44
Speaker 1: looking at now, you know. Now it's just it's just
52:47
Speaker 1: it's protecting you know what I'm saying, allowing you to
52:50
Speaker 1: sit back and and like I said, and you have
52:52
Speaker 1: the right to sitting in the throne. You have the
52:54
Speaker 1: right to sit in the throne and understand these are
52:56
Speaker 1: the people who are allowed me to be great. And
53:00
Speaker 1: because you've done the work, you've got you got the
53:02
Speaker 1: resume to justify that you are great. And so when
53:05
Speaker 1: I look at this, now, tell us about the Crave
53:07
Speaker 1: restaurant here it was a little five points tell us
53:09
Speaker 1: about that menu. Yeah, so Crave restaurant. It has a
53:11
Speaker 1: really unique concept behind it. What I did is I
53:14
Speaker 1: looked at the phenomenon that we haven't here in Atlanta,
53:18
Speaker 1: which is, um, you know, most of the people here
53:20
Speaker 1: are not from here. You know, You've got a melting
53:22
Speaker 1: pot of people. They come from different cities and countries
53:26
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. And so um, a lot
53:28
Speaker 1: of us that aren't born and raised here in Atlanta.
53:31
Speaker 1: We come from other cities, and we've got signature dishes
53:35
Speaker 1: and things of that nature that these other cities are
53:37
Speaker 1: known for that a lot of people crave and miss
53:40
Speaker 1: you know once the once they moved here. So UM,
53:43
Speaker 1: I kind of played off that, and um, we serve
53:46
Speaker 1: things like Maine Lobster Roads, Billy Cheese Steaks, Detroit, Coney Islands, Uh,
53:52
Speaker 1: Chicago Guy Roles. So I took items from popular cities
53:57
Speaker 1: around the country, UM, and just put a mall together
54:00
Speaker 1: on the menu. And so you know, you've got people
54:02
Speaker 1: coming in from Ohio that are used to their five
54:06
Speaker 1: points skyline chili um, and they can they can literally
54:10
Speaker 1: get it right there and crave and it takes you know,
54:12
Speaker 1: just like it used to taste back at home. So um,
54:15
Speaker 1: that's the unique concept that I came up with it
54:18
Speaker 1: crave And like I said, we've been up for about
54:20
Speaker 1: two weeks. We'll be having our brand opening. Um the
54:23
Speaker 1: end of this. Okay, okay, okay, cool, now, no, no,
