• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you know what part of used to you from? I

  Speaker 1: gotta break it down because I'm a fifth ward boar.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What what part of used? You grew up in city text?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You know the same most cities right there right then,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: See I'm Houston, Texas. You know, even me saying mo,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I said fear for you all of a sudden I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: asked him to say, well you, oh, but sit so
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you're gonna start char change. But that's a great area
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I grew up. I knew a fair familiar with that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: area of the They kind of grew up before being
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: counted in Houston, Texas. And so would you be in
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: with what what has inspired you? You went to hbc
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: U School, which is Prey of View in them, which
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is like forty five minutes outside of Houston, Texas. You
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: have Texas Southern right there in Houston, Texas. Down the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: road you got Southern University. Up the road, you got Grambling,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Why Prayer of You? And m so A Shawn. If
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I could just give you a little backstory on, you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: my college journey. I started off at Hampton University. To
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, start off at Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And for those of you that know about Hampton, it's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a private school HBC as well, but very very expensive.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So you know, I couldn't, you know, continue because of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: financial holes. So I decided to transfer. And when I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: was looking at schools to transfer to in Texas, you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: know I looked at you, of H I looked at
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: t S you, and I also was looking at Preview.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You know, you have ah no not to say anything
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: bad about the school, but I just heard that you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: would get swallowed up. You would just be like another number.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't give you that same HBU HBCU feel t S.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You didn't have my my degree. They had electronic engineer,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: but they didn't have electrical engineer praev You happened to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: be the only school within that Houston area that that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: accepted the bulk of my transfer credit. So I went
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: ahead and I became the panther rolled up that rode
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: down to the baby. Don't the panthers up there? Now?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's a cool thing about it. Like a good friend
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of mine, Lonny Love, she graduated from PREV and m
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: she's blinding Love. She's the one of the co host
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of the talk show The Real and she graduated electrical engineering.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: So they now Preview has been known. When I graded
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: from high school, a lot of my friends went down
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to Preview and have I'm living very successful lives. But
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you were talking about the culture, Like I graduated from
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: University Houston. You can't get into the numbers game. Forty
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: thousand students walking around on that campus and when I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: when I was there, they didn't have that college life.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It's much more of a commuter school. And so my
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: executive producer of Money Making Conversation, she's a Hampton grad
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So when you said happened though, she all are dancing
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in the studio throwing our hands up in there, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: so all right, So I got a lot of Pride
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and then my boy, Will Packer, he graduated with electrical
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: engineering degree from FAM. You now, you got electrical engineering degree,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but you're not doing as they say electrical engineering, So
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: tell me about that transition. So when I transferred to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the p V, you know, I went ahead and finished
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: off and got my degree in electrical engineering, as you mentioned,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And before I even walked across the state, the stadiums
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: are already had an offer to the Born Company. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the boring company offered me a full time position where
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I started my journey in Long Beach, California. So I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: hadn't you know, um ever been to California before in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: my life, and it was a dream of mine to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: go and lived there. But you know, I didn't know
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: exactly how I was gonna get there, so Long Behold.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You know, Boning offered me a full time positions, like
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: maybe a month or two after I graduated from p V,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I moved out to Long Beach started my journey. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be real with you, Rashaan, you know, it didn't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: take me too long to figure out that corporate America
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: just wasn't fit for me. Right. I found I found
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that I was like a shark in a swimming pool.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I was the youngest blackest person on my team and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: every team I was on, and I started to feel like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you know, my my gifts and talents just weren't being
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: put to good use. Um. You know, maybe I wasn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the smartest in the company, but I had the most
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like uh business stavvy, I was. I was
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: more of a person that can solve problems. Maybe now
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, mathematical, I could, But my best you know
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: strengths were you know, business. And I saw that I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was on the wrong side one of the company and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: just the wrong side of you know, becoming successful on
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: how to approach it. So when I came across you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the foreign exchange market, you know, it was like a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: light bulb that went off. I said, wow, I said,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this is something that I can actually use as an
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: exit strategy. Because I was I was, no, no dummy,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I wasn't about to just quit a six figure job.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But you know what, if I can really hone onto
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: this skills, if I could really understand this industry, I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: could use this as a exit strategy to go full
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: time investor entrepreneur. So I came across the foreign exchange
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: market about twenty seventeen. So I have been working at
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Bone for maybe like eight or nine months, and as
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: soon as I really understood what the industry was, I said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm walking off my job in about
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a year and a half. I can't. I can't do
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this anymore. You know, I'm not as happy as I
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: thought I would be. I thought making six figures would
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: be you know that golden ticket. You want to be
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a six figure on it. That's what everybody wants to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: be in college, you know, coming out. And so as
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I realized that, you know, it wasn't about the money,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it was more so about the fulfillment and what you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: were doing on a daily basis. And I wasn't getting
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: fulfilled as a person. And so, you know, as I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: began to get a mercy the skill set and I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: got better and better, I said, you know what, this
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is something that I could really take all the way.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And at the top of twenty nineteen, I went ahead
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and fired my boss before they fired me, and uh,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and I took my talents all the way to to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: full time entrepreneurship and I didn't look back. Now, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's go and talk about where he was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: at a six figure in Houston, Texas salary and a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: six figure salary in California. To them Salaris. Now, the housing,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the rent, the taxes is super crazy in California, right there,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you know, is a game changing right there. Just putting
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just buying tags for your call is crazy in California.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'll just let you know, I think I was paying,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Like I paid up my tax on my car like
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: forty dollars in Texas. It was like a thousand dollars
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in California. It's just the numbers are just different. And
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: how you living. Yeah, you got the numbers on your paycheck,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: but you giveing it out as soon as you cash it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So that was part of the process too as a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: forty hour week guy. Now as an entrepreneur, the reason
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I brought you on the show, I never the foreign
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: exchange market. I don't know what that is. I'll be
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: perfectly honest with you, Brandon, I don't know what you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: when you start talking like that, you you come on,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You've coming. You know. I brought you in the show
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to educate me as well as my viewers and listener.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: What is the hard exchange market? So the foreign exchange
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: market is it is the largest financial market in the world,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the largest financial liquid market in the World's generating you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: anywhere from six point five to seven point seven trillion
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: dollars a day on a given day. This is in volume.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So when we're talking about you know, trading, you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: in a foreign exchange market, you are literally trading you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: currency pairs, you know, in their exchange rates. So as
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: currency pairs, you know, uh exchange rate fluctuate, you can
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: make money on the rise and fall. So you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: just like stocks or something like that, you only make money,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you know, on the rise of a share you get
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: in that five dollars a share. If it goes up
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: ten ten dollars to share, you make money. Where well
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: as in whereas in the porn exchange market, you can
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: make money on the rise and fall of an exchange rate.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So for example, if we were to go out of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the country, let's say from from Houston, texts, we fly
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to Italy. Right, a lot of Italy there there there, Um,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I want to say, their currency is the euro, right,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the currency is the euro. So when we get there,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: we can't spend US dollars. We have to convert our
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: US dollars to their primary currency. So just for simplistic,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you know, simplistic understanding, Let's say it's aitute one ratio.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: For every two U S dollars we give them equals
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: one euro, so we give them a thousand U S
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: dollars in return, they'll give us five hundred euros. Now,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: let's say we're on that trip, is all expense paid.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You know, we're just having a good time. We don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have to worry about anything. We just have some spending cash,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that five hundred euro that we converted over from a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Let's say at the end of that trip
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we end up spending nothing, we still have that five
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: hundred year old We get back to the States, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we realized that we cannot spend euro in the United States.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So all we have to do is, you know, I'm
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: pretty sure people have seen it in the airport, go
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to those foreign exchange center booths and say, I want
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to exchange my five hundred yearrol back to U S dollars.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't spend any of it when I was on
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the trip. Now, logically, thinking people are gonna be expecting
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a thousand U S dollars back. But what can happen
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to things can happen. You can get more or less
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: than what you exchange. You can give them that five
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: hundred yearrold and they give you two thousand U S.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Dollars back and you profit a thousand dollars. Or you
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: can give them that five hundred year old and they
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: give you five U S dollars where you lost five
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. The education and that is where you understand
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: what's going on. So if I understand the foreign exchange market,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I see that. You know, the euro can get stronger
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to the US dollar, meaning that when I exchange it
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: over it can double triple whatever what I did. What
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it was before I exchanged it, So at first it
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was two dollars, but when I exchange it back, it's
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: four dollars. So I can actually make money, not by
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: spending it, not by necessarily working, but just by exchanging
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: currency at the right time. I don't know if you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: caught the rashan, but you know that's the basis of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: what the foreign exchange market is. It's just buying and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: selling currency and making money off of the fluctuation of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the value. Well, you know, because you know, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I travel or been to Mexico, been to Europe, you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: know the currency exchange, and I never really pay an
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: attention to it, you know other than the when them
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: there in the moment. And so a lot of people
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't a lot of people, African Americans especially, they travel
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and they either get get caught up in the complications
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: or they're just spen spend cash, and especially go to Mexico,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you give away with just spending cash a lot of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of places that you go. But I've never
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: heard this because I'm a stock buyer, you know, buy stock,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I buy mutual funds and investing insurance policies that that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that that that give me a secured interest on my
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: on my money that I invested as a universe or
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a whole, you can get a secured interest usually about
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: four percent. So that's for Rashan McDonald's mindset it has
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: always been when it comes to investing. You said, hold up,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: put the brakes on the part the break of the shop.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: The far exchange is also a market that I can
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: invest my money into. Are you saying that as well? Absolutely?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: How so do I come to you do I They've
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: got a stockbroker offices open like they do it. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: know you can. You can definitely come to me. That's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what we do. We teach people how to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, um participating. So to be completely honest with you,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you don't have to pay anybody to to get started
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and start trading in the foreign exchange market. It but
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: but who's you to get some education and get a

  Speaker 1: roker here as a guy with his own catchphrase. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: appreciate that Smokey's only said only you can prevent wildfires,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm filling it because there's a lot more to report,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: like when they're parched or windy conditions out there. You
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: gotta be extra careful with things like burning yard wish.

• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Forest Service, your state Forrester and the AD Council. Let's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: let's talk about your background here a little bit. You know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you went to prayer of you what to Hamptons first,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and it was also money has always been to the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: forefront of your conversation because, like you said, it was
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: too expensive, so you had to come back to the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Houston area and uh consider texas southern, but it didn't
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: hit your major and then you wanted to like that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: HBCU culture, that that that's structure, that felt you walked
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: around as a competitive environ with people that look like you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: With the prayer of you got that degree, I went
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to California Snoop Dogg Country realized that okay, cool Snoop Stoop,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I gotta go, brother, gotta go. I gotta get out
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: of California, gotta get out of Compton. Their air where
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I'm out. And so now you're back in Houston, most City,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Boar and trade House. You know the reason I say
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: that because you seem like an innovative. You seem like
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a person who sits around who is your core group,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: who who is your thinking team? Who was inspiring you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and your group to be able to take a lot
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: of these ideas to the next level because you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: like with all of my Apple, Microsoft, they just start
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: by themselves. They had a little core group of fellows
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that that managed to build these franchises out. Who who
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: is your team? Absolutely? You know, my my younger brother,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Bryce Thompson. He was actually one of the first people
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that I introduced, you know, to the skill set. And
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you know, he was in college at the time, struggling
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: college student at Morehouse College, and um, you know, when
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I've seen this, I said, Man, if I would have
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: had this in college, this is definitely something that would
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: have changed the trajectory of my finances. And you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I always wanted to put him on something, but I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure it was sustainable, and I knew
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that he can have, you know, a long longevity in it,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and so I passed this along to him and then
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you know, he got a few of his friends on.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Nathan and Samuel Ian Jackson right now
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: though Perez, just to name a few. It started what
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: about four or five of us, but you know I
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: was the one that kind of spearheaded it, brought it
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to everybody, and then we started to you know, collaborate,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, amongst us, we we started spreading it
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to the colleges. I called it the rich college Kids
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: tour Um because simply I didn't I didn't want to.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to start, you know, and my my,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: uh demographic because we were already in college, I said,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I mean I already graduating college. I was looking for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: people that were already in the learning environment and we're
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: looking for extra money. So I feel like that was
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the best market to start, Like, we can get you
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: here in college where you're already in a in a
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: in a mindset to learn something new, and you you
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: want to get more money because we know the struggling
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: college students story. I said, this would be the perfect
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you know, demographic to start at and really take this
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to the next level. Wow. So you guys have been
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: viewing your brother Bright's have been featured in Forest magazine.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Now we're just that do for your brain? Come on
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that Forbes, man. It definitely legitimizes it. You know. Um,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you know, like you said, are are our people don't
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: really understand, you know, the the investment world. I feel
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: like we've we've taken over a lot of different industries
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: from entertainment, sports, you know, but I feel like business
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and and the finance well is something that we're still
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you know, competing to really you know, hold the crowning.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: So like to have that article written for both of
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: us in that light, you know, just just it gives
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: validity that that we can be you know, on top
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of that space and that you know, it's it's it's
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a lot more room for us. We just have to
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: you know, put ourselves around the right people that had
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the right information. You know. It's really interesting when I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: hear you talk because you're young, which is a blessing,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: but you but you figured it out. You know, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: always tell people you can just figured it out. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: don't give you just sit down and figure it out.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But don't you have to trust yourself? And then when
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I say trust yourself, obviously you graduated, you went to California,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: was living to quote unquote plan, and then you said
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the plan is not working for me. So when did
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you start trusting yourself? Brandon? Well, you know, I always
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: was was one of those people that I wasn't necessarily
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: like a logical thinking. I'm a logical thinking, but I'm
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: very intuitive, right, I'm very intuned with with with with
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the spirit right and and and my inner self. And
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: one of the people that I looked up to one
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: of my I guess you could say my virtual mentors
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: is Napoleon Hill. And I probably start watching um and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: reading some of his material. Back in tw and uh,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I watched the video on YouTube called the Seventeen Keys
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to Success by Napoleon Hill, and I will watch you know, Uh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I guess an excerpt every day before I went to class.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It was seventeen of them. And you know, once I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: realized some of the things I was doing was actually
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: on accident, like you know, manifesting things, and he actually
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: made it like an actual thing. While I was like, Wow,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I can actually be intentional about manifesting my life. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: could be intentional about, you know, the things I do
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to get success. So once I understood that there's intentionalism
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: behind succeeding, then I start doing those things on a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on a daily basis. And I realized that, okay, cool.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: If I want to do something that's outside of the normal,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that that might look crazy to other people, it's okay
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: because if I'm intentional enough and I understand the formula
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and the recipe, to success. It's gonna all make sense
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day. We know. An interesting
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: thing of what I love about you, first of all,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: is that you don't forget the value of being an
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: hbc You graduated and then your your scholarship that you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: created to fund HBCU students in the stem uh lane,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Why is that important? It's it's super important. Um, it's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it's not enough of us in that space one. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: so I wanted to be a an example to say, hey,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: look I'm somebody that Yeah, I'm not in the field anymore.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But I did use it as a platform. Um, and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you can do it too. And then I also know
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that you know, it's a lot of it's a lot
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: of smart kids out there that are struggling in school
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and they want to be able to focus. I remember
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: struggling at Hampton more specifically, UM, when I was going
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: from my electrical engineering degree, and it was so it
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: was such a different experience because my finances weren't in order. Well,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: your finances are in order. In school, it's hard to to,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I guess, focus on the scholastics. It's hard to focus
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: on the curriculum. You're more so focusing on man How
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: am I gonna even buy the book? How am I
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: gonna pay my rent? How am I gonna eat? You know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: am I even gonna have enough money to go to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: school the next semester? So it's a lot of the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of the tractions when you don't have
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: your finances in order. And so if I could take
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that that thought away from a student and say, hey,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you know, college is is your semester is paid for?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Just focus on the on the books, just focus on
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: getting the internship, and and that's gonna do you well
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: off well, way way more well. You're gonna be way
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: more well off if you're able to focus just on
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: school then focusing on finances. So that was really big
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: for me to be able to, you know, give back
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to two people that I know have been in my
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: shoes before and understand the power of them, you know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: taking that that that whole out of their life, so
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that could really focus on what's important. You know, um,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: what grows in the forest trees, Sure, you know what
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: else grows in the forest, our imagination, our sense of wonder,
• 25:47

• 25:50

  Speaker 1: Enjoy reading your synopsis that were sent over about you,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: because you talked about your mom and uh, you and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: your brother Bryce, and I remember my mom, you know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: she said we were born in fear for my father
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: passed before she passed. She's passed now. And one of
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the things she wouldn't move out of that house. You know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: We grew up with a you know window, our audition unit.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And she moved the stove. You know what we do
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you leaning on You're gonna get burned, you know, gat stove.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You know, the whole thing was hot, and I told us, say, hey,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted to tear down the house. She wouldn't let
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: me tear it out of house. That's okay, cool, because
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I wanted her to live and experience central air conditioning,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: central heat, you know, just just you walk into the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: room and it's warm, you know. And uh. And I
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: was able to do that and now and and before
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: she passed, because that was that was one of my
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: dreams of giving her that life. Of course, she never
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: went back into the old part of the house that
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: she wouldn't let me tear dout. Basically, I built a
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: new part of the house onto an old part of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the house. When I read about, you know, the relationship
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: with your mom and how you and your brother Bryce
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: were able to retire her and allowed her to follow
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: her or live her passage, talk about that. The importance
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: of that, oh man, I think I think every child
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: wants to be able to pay homage to their parents,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's financially or it's them just succeeding
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: at a hot or to make them proud. So you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: graduating college was definitely one of the things that you know, um,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that motivated me to finish. You know, graduating college was like, Okay,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I gotta do it for my mom. She she didn't
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: she didn't get to go. So you know, she made
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: it important that I made it importance on it that
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I should go and I should finish so I can
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: have more opportunities than she did. But you know, getting
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: into a space where I was financially, you know, sustained,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: sustained enough to not only take care of myself, but
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: then trickle it down and be like, hey, mom, you
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: don't have to work anymore. You know, I'm making enough
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: money where I can send you, you know, allowance every
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: week for you to not only cover your bills, but
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: for you to actually live a better lifestyle than you've
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: been living. And you know that's always been a dream
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of mine. You know, they say you gotta have a whip.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You don't have a while, you know what I'm saying,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Then it's gonna be hard to really push through those
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: tough times. You know, the hire stands for will help you, right,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So on those tough times, you gotta have something that
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: your anchor to that you're you're pushing for as bigger
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: than yourself. And so you know, just having my mom
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, knowing all the sacrifices
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that she made for me to even you know, get
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to college. You know, it made me feel like a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: sense of responsibility that I had to at least try
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to pay it back. I know I can never pay

• 30:49
  Speaker 1: because the keyword you are millennial, and so you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: literials get a bad rap about wrap and I think
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: they're easing up now because the fact that you understand mentorship,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You crave me mentorship, you seek out mentorship, and I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: think that's something that's important. It was something I didn't do.

  Speaker 1: I didn't understand when I was growing up, and you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: guys understand the value of mentorship and just hanging around
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: people who are experienced. Talk about the Millennial Millennial three
• 31:15

  Speaker 1: excited about I AM three. You know, it's gonna be
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: a industry shifting event, you know, just to give you
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a little backstory on I AM you know, it is
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a you know, essentially an event where we come together

  Speaker 1: and then as well as entertainment. You know, we want
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to have fun while we're there. But you know, we
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: started off I AM one in Atlanta, Georgia at the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Four Seasons Hotel downtown and we had about maybe even
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: people show up very great and out, you know, for
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: our first one. And then the second one we had,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I AM Too was in Houston, Texas at the Marriott

  Speaker 1: Hotel in West Chase District in Houston, Texas, and um
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: it was about fourth dolland over four thousand people, you know,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and then the pandemic hit right after that. So now
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we've been able to finess our way into
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the hard Rock Stadium, you know, where the Dolphins play
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: in Miami, Florida, and you know, we're expecting you know,

  Speaker 1: We're having performers like the Baby Uh come out and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: give us entertainment as well as I'm actually performing on

• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you you knew that I got

  Speaker 1: into music as well, but you know this, this is
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: gonna be a life changing event for not only people
