- 0:58Speaker 2: and international speaker. Please please welcome the Money Making Conversation.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Ashley M. Fox.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Hi, how are you pretty good?
- 1:06Speaker 2: Mimss focon? Where are you based there right now?
- 1:09Speaker 3: I'm in Philadelphia.
- 1:10Speaker 2: When you say you are a former Wall Street analyst,
- 1:13Speaker 2: what does that mean? Because if your Wall Street scres
- 1:16Speaker 2: a lot of people, especially minorities, because we don't even
- 1:19Speaker 2: understand how you make money under Wall Street world break
- 1:22Speaker 2: it down a little bit too it and were willing
- 1:24Speaker 2: to take the time to understand on money made conversation
- 1:27Speaker 2: exactly what did you do and what role do you
- 1:29Speaker 2: play in that?
- 1:31Speaker 4: Okay?
- 1:31Speaker 3: So I went to Howard University, graduated, and I decided
- 1:35Speaker 3: to work on Wall Street. I have four internships in school,
- 1:38Speaker 3: and three of them I worked at Wall Street investment banks.
- 1:40Speaker 3: So then I lived in New York too this summer.
- 1:42Speaker 3: So that's when I realized I wanted to work on
- 1:43Speaker 3: Wall Street. It paid really great money, and so ideally
- 1:47Speaker 3: I actually just wanted to work on Wall Street because
- 1:49Speaker 3: you got one of the highest fanged jobs out of school.
- 1:51Speaker 3: And so as an analyst, I worked in acset management.
- 1:53Speaker 3: And so what I did was work with a team
- 1:55Speaker 3: of people who helped manage the money for clients who
- 1:58Speaker 3: made twenty five million dollars or more. So I saw
- 2:01Speaker 3: everything where they live, where they travel, what they invested in,
- 2:03Speaker 3: how much they didn't say in taxes. Pretty much, if
- 2:06Speaker 3: you had twenty five million dollars or more, you don't
- 2:08Speaker 3: need a financial advice. You needed to acce manager. And
- 2:11Speaker 3: so whether it was helping them with their trust and estates,
- 2:15Speaker 3: whether it was getting a mortgage on their vacation home
- 2:18Speaker 3: and NAPA or in somewhere of Florida wherever it is,
- 2:22Speaker 3: or in the Hamptons, or just helping them invest to
- 2:25Speaker 3: build that generational wealth to pass it down to their children.
- 2:28Speaker 3: We were there to provide them with the tools and
- 2:30Speaker 3: resources to help them sustain their wealth so they didn't
- 2:33Speaker 3: lose it.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Now here's the crazy part about that statement. You said
- 2:36Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars of more correct, And yeah, you
- 2:40Speaker 2: said that number like it's a lot of them.
- 2:44Speaker 4: It is.
- 2:44Speaker 3: It's a whole different world. And it was interesting though,
- 2:49Speaker 3: a lot of people don't realize that a lot of
- 2:52Speaker 3: the things that we use every day, from the cars
- 2:54Speaker 3: that we drive, to the clothes that we wear, to
- 2:56Speaker 3: the football teams we watched. Interestingly enough, a lot of
- 2:59Speaker 3: wealthy people who football teams, that is not their general
- 3:02Speaker 3: source of income. That's actually just something they did because
- 3:06Speaker 3: it was fun to do. Most NFL owners, NBA team owners,
- 3:09Speaker 3: that is not how they got their wealth. They essentially
- 3:13Speaker 3: that is just something to do with their money, and
- 3:15Speaker 3: they may just have some sort of joy around sports,
- 3:18Speaker 3: but they did not build their wealth the majority of
- 3:20Speaker 3: them buying the sports team. That is just something extra
- 3:22Speaker 3: that they do because they have so much money. But
- 3:25Speaker 3: it is it's a completely different world out there. And
- 3:27Speaker 3: so the owners and CEOs of these companies that we
- 3:30Speaker 3: don't even know exist, they ideally were our clients. Now.
- 3:35Speaker 2: So you Howard University, and you said, just as you
- 3:40Speaker 2: said casually, I wanted to work on Wall Street, and
- 3:44Speaker 2: then you wind up working on Wall Street. How do
- 3:47Speaker 2: how does the want and the actual accomplishment happen?
- 3:53Speaker 3: I think to be and again, when I was in
- 3:56Speaker 3: high school, I wanted to look nice and make a
- 3:58Speaker 3: lot of money. I never had visions of running a business.
- 4:01Speaker 3: I never was one of those students said I wanted
- 4:03Speaker 3: to be my own boss. I always envisioned myself as
- 4:05Speaker 3: an African American working on Wall Street. Something prestiged, something
- 4:09Speaker 3: high paced, competitive, and I knew that in order to
- 4:13Speaker 3: get there, I was competing with the Harvards and the
- 4:16Speaker 3: Yales of the world. And so if they were looking
- 4:18Speaker 3: for prestigious black individuals, they were coming to Howard University.
- 4:22Speaker 3: And so at Howard all of these companies will come
- 4:24Speaker 3: to recruit. So I got exposed to the opportunities that
- 4:27Speaker 3: these companies had available for the students. And when I
- 4:31Speaker 3: got my first internship, and this is interesting, my first
- 4:34Speaker 3: internship on Wall Street. I don't know what they pay now,
- 4:37Speaker 3: but I know I made ten thousand dollars in the
- 4:38Speaker 3: summer time. And so I was nineteen years old making
- 4:42Speaker 3: a bunch of money, and I was like, I like this.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I like the feeling. I liked the people, I like
- 4:46Speaker 3: the environment. I absolutely love New York City. And so
- 4:49Speaker 3: whatever I had to do to be in that position
- 4:52Speaker 3: post graduation, I did what I needed to do to
- 4:55Speaker 3: work on Wall Street. But Howard University played a very
- 4:57Speaker 3: big role in exposing me to these companies, to these
- 5:01Speaker 3: opportunities to see, hey, that it is actually possible for
- 5:04Speaker 3: me to go and have a career on Wall Street
- 5:07Speaker 3: in New York City.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Cool.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Now, with that being said, you're you know, you have
- 5:11Speaker 2: a success on Wall Street as an analyst, seeing a
- 5:14Speaker 2: lot of people with this generational money, these accounts. What
- 5:19Speaker 2: what was running through your mind when you're around something
- 5:22Speaker 2: that you see success?
- 5:24Speaker 1: But are you really a part of the success.
- 5:27Speaker 4: So a couple of thoughts.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Trends through my mind. I was in that mert it
- 5:31Speaker 3: was exciting, like I just I saw every single thing,
- 5:35Speaker 3: every dollar you spent, every I saw everything. But after
- 5:39Speaker 3: I would say eight or nine months, I got more
- 5:42Speaker 3: joy and had the desire to pick their brain on
- 5:44Speaker 3: how they got their money, not teach them how to
- 5:47Speaker 3: keep it. But the only issue was that when I
- 5:49Speaker 3: would go back home to Philadelphia, people thought I was rich.
- 5:53Speaker 3: So because I was making six figures, because I traveled,
- 5:55Speaker 3: I wore nice clothes, people thought I had money. And
- 5:59Speaker 3: I realized that there was a big disconnect to how
- 6:01Speaker 3: our community saw wealth and what wealth really was, and
- 6:05Speaker 3: how they thought, how they operated, how they talked their kids,
- 6:07Speaker 3: what they read. It's a completely different lifetile and we
- 6:10Speaker 3: are oblivious to And I think we shouldn't have to
- 6:14Speaker 3: come from money for us to learn about it.
- 6:16Speaker 4: You don't.
- 6:17Speaker 3: You shouldn't have to choose a career on Wall Street
- 6:19Speaker 3: to then see how wealthy people operate, manage and invest
- 6:22Speaker 3: their money. So I think it's something that we use
- 6:24Speaker 3: every day. So why isn't it given to us and
- 6:27Speaker 3: talk to us every day?
- 6:28Speaker 2: And so that's why you created the You combined empower
- 6:31Speaker 2: and modify and created an educational based organization and created
- 6:36Speaker 2: the Health adults. That's me and our children understand financial literacy.
- 6:41Speaker 2: What is financial literacy?
- 6:44Speaker 3: So the reason I made that word up is because I.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Think we know you made it up. Now we know
- 6:49Speaker 2: that I was trying to figure out.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out who I was and
- 6:54Speaker 3: what I wanted to get to the world. And I
- 6:57Speaker 3: was a teacher, I was a psychologist, I was a
- 6:58Speaker 3: shoulder to cry on, I was a counselor. I was
- 7:00Speaker 3: a lot of things. And it's like, okay, But the
- 7:03Speaker 3: feeling that I am bed in the hearts and minds
- 7:05Speaker 3: of people is not just about money. It's about the
- 7:07Speaker 3: shifting of the mind, because I feel like if your
- 7:10Speaker 3: mind is right, your bank account will be right. When
- 7:13Speaker 3: you think of wealth, you think of longevity. When you
- 7:16Speaker 3: think of rich, you think of a lot of money
- 7:17Speaker 3: right now. Wealth is having a lot of money forever.
- 7:20Speaker 3: And that is one of the core differences that I
- 7:22Speaker 3: saw with our clients. They were worrying about giving money
- 7:25Speaker 3: to their kids, kids' kids just so they didn't have
- 7:28Speaker 3: to pay taxes on the money, whereas the majority of
- 7:30Speaker 3: people in our community are actually waiting for a tax refund,
- 7:33Speaker 3: not realizing that whether people don't get tax refunds. They're
- 7:36Speaker 3: trying to avoid paying taxes in any way possible and
- 7:39Speaker 3: to sustain and keep their wealth to pass it on generation.
- 7:42Speaker 3: That's a generation. And so for me, it was like, Okay,
- 7:45Speaker 3: how can I build this concept and shift our mindset?
- 7:49Speaker 3: Because everything I teach people, whether you're an adult or
- 7:51Speaker 3: a child, you can google it, Like what a stock is.
- 7:53Speaker 3: You can google those things. There's a mental barrier that
- 7:56Speaker 3: stops us from implementing the things that we have access
- 7:59Speaker 3: to when the things that we see and for me,
- 8:02Speaker 3: emplifies the shifting of the mind. So essentially I give
- 8:05Speaker 3: you the education, but I also give you the inspiration
- 8:08Speaker 3: to embedding you that you are worthy enough to receive
- 8:11Speaker 3: this information, that you are able to do this, that
- 8:14Speaker 3: you can invest. So now you're empowered. You got educated,
- 8:17Speaker 3: you're empowered. And what that ultimately does it creates a
- 8:19Speaker 3: shift in the mind because now you have the information,
- 8:22Speaker 3: now you have the inspiration. Now you say, hey, I
- 8:24Speaker 3: can do this. I believe in myself enough and I
- 8:27Speaker 3: know this can be done, which is where to modify
- 8:30Speaker 3: and the transition comes to who we are as a people.
- 8:32Speaker 3: So financial education, I mean that's just getting educated around money,
- 8:35Speaker 3: but again financial education. You can google and not even
- 8:38Speaker 3: have a person present. The problem is that we don't
- 8:40Speaker 3: take this information and feel that we are worthy enough
- 8:43Speaker 3: of becoming wealthy because we are not surrounded by it. Everything.
- 8:47Speaker 4: Well, please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with
- 8:50Speaker 4: more Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money
- 9:03Speaker 4: Making Conversations Masterclass, hosted by Rashaan McDonald. Money Making Conversations

- 9:19Speaker 2: And so, now, what about these people miss Fox who
- 9:23Speaker 2: win a lot of Where do they make their mistakes
- 9:28Speaker 2: because they go broke or they don't know what to
- 9:29Speaker 2: do with the money. What advice would you give them
- 9:32Speaker 2: from a financial literacy standpoint to a person who wins
- 9:35Speaker 2: the lottery.
- 9:39Speaker 3: So I think ideally they lose their money because they're
- 9:42Speaker 3: not accustomed to having it. And it's not until you
- 9:47Speaker 3: start feeling you are deserving of this lifestyle, that you
- 9:49Speaker 3: are grateful for this lifestyle, that your mind can coexist
- 9:53Speaker 3: with the money, Because if you're coming from a place
- 9:55Speaker 3: of lack, I want the money, I want the money,
- 9:57Speaker 3: I want the money I never had, I got to have.
- 9:59Speaker 3: I got to send it, do all those things that
- 10:00Speaker 3: I didn't get the opportunity to do but I didn't
- 10:02Speaker 3: have money. You're coming from a place of lack versus
- 10:04Speaker 3: a place of abundant and ideally, if you're putting out
- 10:07Speaker 3: lack and the desire to obtain money is coming from
- 10:09Speaker 3: a place I need to have it.
- 10:10Speaker 2: I got to have it.
- 10:11Speaker 3: From a survival standpoint, all you're doing is putting out lack.
- 10:14Speaker 3: So now the universe is just going to give you
- 10:16Speaker 3: back lack, which is why money gets taken from you.
- 10:18Speaker 3: I would say someone who wears a lottery, or not
- 10:21Speaker 3: even just someone who has a lottery, who comes across
- 10:23Speaker 3: a large amount of money, you have to ask yourself
- 10:25Speaker 3: how long do you want this money to last you?
- 10:27Speaker 3: Because you can give somebody a million dollars and they
- 10:30Speaker 3: can spend a million dollars, and I've seen people spend
- 10:32Speaker 3: a million dollars in less than thirty days who have
- 10:35Speaker 3: not come from money, And so you have to ask yourself,
- 10:37Speaker 3: you come.
- 10:38Speaker 2: From money and spend it like that?
- 10:40Speaker 4: Right?
- 10:41Speaker 2: Right?
- 10:43Speaker 3: What is it that I want this money for and
- 10:45Speaker 3: how long do I want it to last me? What
- 10:47Speaker 3: matters to me, what's important to me. One of the
- 10:49Speaker 3: things that I do with my clients in particular is
- 10:51Speaker 3: get it all out your system. What do you want
- 10:53Speaker 3: to buy, the house, to car, to clothes, whatever it
- 10:55Speaker 3: is that you want, get it out of your system,
- 10:57Speaker 3: and then put yourself in a position where that money
- 11:00Speaker 3: will last you forever. So that's when you're sitting you
- 11:01Speaker 3: talk to somebody in finance who can help you open
- 11:04Speaker 3: different types of investments, whether it's different types of annuities,
- 11:08Speaker 3: or different type of insurance policies, or different types of
- 11:10Speaker 3: brokerage accounts. Everyone is different and every age is differ
- 11:14Speaker 3: than everyone. The goals are different, but you have to
- 11:15Speaker 3: one get it off your system all the things that
- 11:17Speaker 3: you want. By no means am I saying, don't go
- 11:19Speaker 3: get the things you want. You don't want to look
- 11:21Speaker 3: up and you have all these things you want. Two
- 11:23Speaker 3: years from now, you're back at the same lifestyle, having
- 11:26Speaker 3: no money prior to winning the money that you did receive.
- 11:28Speaker 3: And so I think it's prioritizing what matters, writing out
- 11:32Speaker 3: your goals, the life that you envision, and sitting with
- 11:35Speaker 3: someone before you go blow through everything.
- 11:38Speaker 2: It's really interesting because I can agree with her on
- 11:42Speaker 2: because when you're in an entertainment business, you get lomps
- 11:45Speaker 2: of money and sometimes a large loss of the money,
- 11:47Speaker 2: and you just spend money without a plan. And I
- 11:50Speaker 2: think that's the key. I can remember having cars and
- 11:55Speaker 2: I'm going, like, what am I doing with all these cars?
- 11:58Speaker 2: And leasing cars? And that means that in the least,
- 12:01Speaker 2: I don't even own it. But I'm paying like two
- 12:03Speaker 2: three thousand dollars a month on just monthly leases, you know.
- 12:06Speaker 2: But I'm telling myself, I can write this all my
- 12:08Speaker 2: taxes because I bought it another business. But in the end,
- 12:11Speaker 2: I don't have the vehicle. So there's a lot of
- 12:13Speaker 2: things you can get out there when you have money
- 12:15Speaker 2: that you can just spend it, and it trivializes itself
- 12:19Speaker 2: because if you don't think about next month, next year,
- 12:23Speaker 2: five years from now, then guess what, you're making a
- 12:25Speaker 2: big mistake when you are living in a lifestyle where
- 12:28Speaker 2: money is coming towards you. Now, the everyday person doesn't
- 12:31Speaker 2: understand that because either they live and check the check,
- 12:33Speaker 2: or they trying to survive, or they barely have a
- 12:35Speaker 2: savings account. Now you what type of people are you
- 12:38Speaker 2: dealing with?
- 12:39Speaker 1: What type of people are.
- 12:40Speaker 2: You coaching ms Fox, are you talking about everyday people?
- 12:44Speaker 2: Are people who have a certain financial pool of success.
- 12:48Speaker 3: No, so don't. I don't turn people away. I think
- 12:51Speaker 3: one of the things I don't do during my time
- 12:53Speaker 3: as a financial lisor, I don't solicit because when people
- 12:57Speaker 3: are ready, they will come. And for me, I've never said, hey,
- 13:01Speaker 3: come work with me, come get your money in order.
- 13:03Speaker 3: When people are ready and they've exhausted all options, have
- 13:06Speaker 3: made all the mistakes that they could possibly have made themselves,
- 13:08Speaker 3: they will surrender and ask for help. And to be honest,
- 13:11Speaker 3: if you would have if you could have gotten it,
- 13:14Speaker 3: you would have been a different person today. So who
- 13:16Speaker 3: you are there has gotten this far. So in order
- 13:18Speaker 3: to be somebody different, you have to do different and
- 13:20Speaker 3: people have to be ready to receive that. But for me,
- 13:23Speaker 3: I don't turn anybody away. Ideally, I just work with
- 13:26Speaker 3: people who want to learn how to make financially educated decisions,
- 13:30Speaker 3: so they are looking to get the education behind that.
- 13:33Speaker 3: And I truly believe when people are ready, when they
- 13:36Speaker 3: realize that, you know, I've made every mistake in the book,
- 13:39Speaker 3: I'm exhausted, I'm frustrated. Somebody has to help me. They're
- 13:42Speaker 3: taking the risk on them. But it's easier to work
- 13:45Speaker 3: with people who want help as opposed to telling someone
- 13:47Speaker 3: you need help, because when you tell someone you need
- 13:50Speaker 3: they need help, it's actually more so offensive to them.
- 13:52Speaker 3: So when people are ready, they'll they reach out, and
- 13:56Speaker 3: if not, they'll get referred or things like that. But
- 13:58Speaker 3: I've never said, hey, you need to get your life
- 14:00Speaker 3: an order, because it's a touchy subject. When people are
- 14:03Speaker 3: ready to get their life of order, and they see
- 14:04Speaker 3: the opportunity or they see someone or something that could
- 14:07Speaker 3: help them, they will make it a priority to get
- 14:10Speaker 3: themselves better financially.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Because you are talking to successful people, and one thing
- 14:14Speaker 2: about a successful person, You don't want to tell them
- 14:16Speaker 2: they're dumb or they're making the mistakes. You know. You
- 14:19Speaker 2: want to coach them through the process and go, let's
- 14:21Speaker 2: look at it this way.
- 14:22Speaker 1: How have you considered this? How about this?
- 14:25Speaker 2: You never just go right in you should do this
- 14:28Speaker 2: all major pushback. But if you say, have you considered this,
- 14:31Speaker 2: here are some options. Those are terms that if you're
- 14:35Speaker 2: good at what you do and she knows I'm telling
- 14:36Speaker 2: us the truth, those are the terms you have to
- 14:38Speaker 2: talk to when you're talking to successful people, especially when
- 14:40Speaker 2: you're talking about their money and what they've done with
- 14:42Speaker 2: their money. Now, let's talk about ways to invest in.
- 14:45Speaker 2: How to start, and it is starting in the stock market.
- 14:48Speaker 1: The key to starting.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Well, if you get down to the root of every
- 14:53Speaker 3: type of investment, pretty much every type of investment, it
- 14:56Speaker 3: is all rooted in connected to the stock market world way,
- 14:58Speaker 3: shape or form. Those people don't know if those retirement plans,
- 15:02Speaker 3: those pensions, the hospitals you go to, they all take
- 15:05Speaker 3: their money and it's being invested somewhere. So people one
- 15:10Speaker 3: need to realize that saving is not going to build
- 15:12Speaker 3: you wealth. Investing will. Saving will keep your money safe,
- 15:15Speaker 3: but it is not going to increase your network by
- 15:17Speaker 3: any means. And I think we have this mindset of
- 15:20Speaker 3: I have to have money, I have to keep money,
- 15:22Speaker 3: have to save money. That's a fear driven mentality, and
- 15:25Speaker 3: that's coming from a place of lax of All you're
- 15:27Speaker 3: focusing on is fear. All you're going to attract is
- 15:30Speaker 3: all the things that you are scared of. When it
- 15:32Speaker 3: comes to invest in, The easiest way I always tell
- 15:35Speaker 3: people is to buy what you know. Once you understand
- 15:37Speaker 3: the core of the stock market, which ideally is just
- 15:39Speaker 3: a piece of ownership of a company. You essentially are
- 15:42Speaker 3: investing small pieces of your money in large businesses, and
- 15:46Speaker 3: so the easiest way to start is to buy what
- 15:49Speaker 3: you know. One of the exercises I often do with
- 15:52Speaker 3: my students and with adults is make a list of
- 15:54Speaker 3: everything you spend your time or money on, So from
- 15:56Speaker 3: the water you drink, the car you drive, the food
- 15:58Speaker 3: you eat, the clothes you wear, the social media apps
- 16:01Speaker 3: you use, the phone you use, your cable company. All
- 16:03Speaker 3: these companies are making money off of your consumption. And
- 16:06Speaker 3: especially specifically in the black community, we have a one
- 16:09Speaker 3: point three trillion dollar buying power, which means that after
- 16:11Speaker 3: all of our bills are paid, there's one point three
- 16:14Speaker 3: trillion dollars being given to some company because we always
- 16:19Speaker 3: the consumer, and so as opposed to giving our money away,
- 16:23Speaker 3: sidn't think about how much does it cost to own
- 16:25Speaker 3: a piece of this company. Because a lot of the
- 16:27Speaker 3: large companies that we utilize every day are publicly traded
- 16:31Speaker 3: companies and you are able to buy stocks. So, for instance, Apple,
- 16:34Speaker 3: it costs more to own the new Apple iPhone than
- 16:37Speaker 3: it does to own a piece of Apple as an
- 16:39Speaker 3: entire company. And a lot of the beverages that we drink.
- 16:45Speaker 3: You have no idea everything you touch and feel and
- 16:48Speaker 3: consume is a company. Someone is making money from the
- 16:51Speaker 3: chair you're sitting on. Somebody made that chair, and someone
- 16:55Speaker 3: bought that chair because they knew you were going to
- 16:57Speaker 3: sit on it. Because you are using that chair, that
- 17:00Speaker 3: company makes money. We need to have a proactive mindset
- 17:03Speaker 3: on should I cannot go invest in this company? And
- 17:06Speaker 3: if you're loyal to the brand on a consistent basis,
- 17:09Speaker 3: they are consistently getting your consumption, your money, or your time.
- 17:13Speaker 3: And I think what wealthy people value is ownership versus spending.
- 17:17Speaker 3: In the black community, most specifically, we want to look good.
- 17:20Speaker 3: We want to feel good because deep down the side,
- 17:22Speaker 3: we don't always feel like we are good. Not realizing
- 17:25Speaker 3: that these fortune five hundred companies are here because of
- 17:30Speaker 3: what we spend our time and money on. Not saying
- 17:32Speaker 3: that it's bad to spend, but if you can't buy
- 17:35Speaker 3: it twice, you can't afford it. If you can't invest
- 17:38Speaker 3: it twice, you shouldn't be buying it.
- 17:39Speaker 4: And so in this case, it's not.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Just buy the product, it's also owned stock in the
- 17:43Speaker 3: company that makes the products that we are always using.
- 17:46Speaker 2: As people MS Fox You too smart. I'm telling you,
- 17:50Speaker 2: I'm Jason, I'm a smart guy. Now, I'm Jay Zone.

- 18:07Speaker 1: And but your logic.
- 18:09Speaker 2: But your logic, because I've heard all these things and
- 18:11Speaker 2: it's now, do you I know we running out of
- 18:13Speaker 2: time on quick? Do you manage a fund?
- 18:16Speaker 3: No?
- 18:17Speaker 4: I do not.
- 18:17Speaker 3: I purely am education.
- 18:20Speaker 2: You should you should manage your fund. You should manage
