Speaker 1: know we're in the people business. We are people come
3:44
Speaker 1: in and uh we know what the pandemic is happening.
3:46
Speaker 1: And first of all, when how did there are steps
3:51
Speaker 1: to this whole madness that's happening right here? Because madness
3:53
Speaker 1: is affecting people, uh lives, as people are dying, there's testing.
3:58
Speaker 1: The product to keep your safety's not available on store shelves.
4:03
Speaker 1: But you're in the people hospitality business, which means that
4:06
Speaker 1: people come to your places of business. Let's talk about
4:08
Speaker 1: the fruits initial business shock that you had to undergo
4:12
Speaker 1: when when they said, hey, you can't be open. Let's
4:16
Speaker 1: talk about that. Um So, of course, as a business owner.
4:20
Speaker 1: It was definitely very shocking, I think just as many
4:23
Speaker 1: Number One, I watched the news, and I tried to
4:25
Speaker 1: stay informed a lot, so I didn't just start you know,
4:28
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of people that kind of just
4:30
Speaker 1: started watching the news, you know, with this whole pandemic.
4:33
Speaker 1: So I initially started hearing about the coronavirus and specifically
4:38
Speaker 1: this COVID nineteen strand back in December when it really
4:43
Speaker 1: kind of started hitting China. And so employee of mine
4:47
Speaker 1: had actually had a trip plan to China in January
4:51
Speaker 1: and she got really sick and we felt like she
4:53
Speaker 1: had the coronavirus, you know, and so when she got back,
4:57
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't let her come back to workingough
4:59
Speaker 1: for a couple weeks, and you know, things of that nature.
5:02
Speaker 1: And so it's something that kind of was always on
5:05
Speaker 1: my radar, and um I kind of saw this coming,
5:09
Speaker 1: you know, once our cases you know ended up, you know,
5:13
Speaker 1: going up and and all of that. So about a
5:15
Speaker 1: week before they made us close, I had told my
5:20
Speaker 1: business partner two days I was like, you know, I
5:21
Speaker 1: have a feeling they're gonna close our businesses because we
5:24
Speaker 1: were actually just about to renovate our patio and switch
5:29
Speaker 1: out our POS systems, two things that are you know,
5:32
Speaker 1: in investment, you know. And so I had actually told him, hey,
5:35
Speaker 1: let's kind of hold off on this stuff because I
5:38
Speaker 1: have a feeling we're gonna have to close the businesses.
5:41
Speaker 1: And he was just like, what, you know, you think
5:43
Speaker 1: it's gonna get death serious? And I was just like, yeah,
5:45
Speaker 1: that's basically what's happening. And so, uh, it was maybe
5:49
Speaker 1: about a couple of weeks later that you know, the
5:53
Speaker 1: mayor because of course the governor he didn't really act quickly,
5:56
Speaker 1: but you know, the mayor had given the sanction to uh,
6:00
Speaker 1: you know, go ahead and close you know, the restaurants,
6:04
Speaker 1: and so UM, I was definitely you know, very shocked
6:08
Speaker 1: and surprise. Um. And you know I was even more
6:13
Speaker 1: shocked that they were gonna be giving us us you know,
6:16
Speaker 1: or at least trying to give us some type of
6:18
Speaker 1: funds you know, which I hadn't received. But UM, it's
6:21
Speaker 1: just very interesting because you know, it's a business owner.
6:23
Speaker 1: You know, you work hard. Um, your business is like
6:26
Speaker 1: your baby, and you know, for things to happen and
6:32
Speaker 1: for you to not be able to operate to no
6:34
Speaker 1: part of your own just kind of leaves you in
6:36
Speaker 1: a very challenging possessition. It really does, you know, and
6:40
Speaker 1: I wanted you. We're talking about the the Peril Protection
6:43
Speaker 1: Program that was for small businesses to be able to
6:47
Speaker 1: gallocated funds. That will be uh that actually could be
6:51
Speaker 1: a wash at least seventy five percent of the funds
6:53
Speaker 1: if you apply those two paying your employees, paying your rent,
6:56
Speaker 1: and keep you health benefits and you don't have to
6:59
Speaker 1: pay that back. I have also applied for that snoop.
7:03
Speaker 1: Nobody has responded yet either, So hopefully this second round
7:07
Speaker 1: we can benefit from that. But I think the thing
7:09
Speaker 1: that the thing that bothers me the most about this
7:12
Speaker 1: whole situation is that as a business owner, you know,
7:16
Speaker 1: four point four million people have applied for unemployment and
7:20
Speaker 1: we're just trying to figure this out together. The thing
7:22
Speaker 1: that has frustrated me the most is that nobody has
7:24
Speaker 1: given us a plan on what to do. They've told
7:28
Speaker 1: us to stay home, which I understand and I value
7:30
Speaker 1: that because the crisis not over, but we do have
7:33
Speaker 1: to start functioning again. And so when you started making
7:36
Speaker 1: a decision to reopen your businesses, to make them, especially
7:40
Speaker 1: when the governor said, hey, there is you. You could
7:43
Speaker 1: open up to loans, tattoo, massage, spalls and gems and
7:47
Speaker 1: bowling analysts one Friday and then the monday Monday after
7:50
Speaker 1: that you can go into restaurants and theaters and things
7:53
Speaker 1: like that. He did not say that you had to open.
7:56
Speaker 1: He said you can open. He didn't say you had
7:59
Speaker 1: to open. Let's get that now, how and how I
8:01
Speaker 1: must like look at it, as you know, he just
8:03
Speaker 1: gave business owners and option. You know, if you're at
8:06
Speaker 1: the point that you know your business may get shut down,
8:09
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or or whatever or whatever
8:11
Speaker 1: the case may be. You know, he just gave people
8:14
Speaker 1: an option, you know, to go ahead and open. You know,
8:17
Speaker 1: if you still don't feel comfortable and you want to
8:19
Speaker 1: stay at home and social distance and things of that nature,
8:22
Speaker 1: you're still able to do so. Um and so for me,
8:26
Speaker 1: I made the decision to go ahead and open up
8:29
Speaker 1: two out of the four of my businesses. So I've
8:32
Speaker 1: got Crave Restaurant out of the five. Sorry, um so,
8:36
Speaker 1: Crave Restaurant a little five points. I opened that business.
8:39
Speaker 1: Um I opened the dining in for that one. Today.
8:43
Speaker 1: A lot of the other things on our street open
8:45
Speaker 1: including another restaurant that's over here. So okay, let's le's
8:49
Speaker 1: let's start with crazy. Let's because I really want to
8:51
Speaker 1: slow this down because this is a this is an
8:54
Speaker 1: important interview about your business, about your brand, about how
8:57
Speaker 1: this country is going to be moving forward. Because the
9:00
Speaker 1: what met you're using right now is what people are
9:02
Speaker 1: gonna be using in California. They're gonna be using in
9:04
Speaker 1: terms because we're all are going to open back up,
9:07
Speaker 1: and you should only open up when you're ready, and
9:09
Speaker 1: you put your employees in an environment they're comfortable to
9:13
Speaker 1: work in, and their customers and your customers that you
9:17
Speaker 1: want to come into your place of business feel comfortable
9:19
Speaker 1: that they would be dining healthy and leave healthy. And
9:23
Speaker 1: so so crave you you you got with the team,
9:26
Speaker 1: What was the plan of action that you put in place? UM? So,
9:31
Speaker 1: one thing, you know, we have infrared thermometers on site,
9:33
Speaker 1: so UM, any staff that is coming into work, they
9:37
Speaker 1: have to have their fever taken. UM. We're cognisant of
9:40
Speaker 1: any you know, if they're displaying any symptoms or if
9:43
Speaker 1: they do have a fever, of course we aren't letting
9:46
Speaker 1: those individuals work. Um and in that case, they would
9:50
Speaker 1: have to go get tested and come back with a
9:52
Speaker 1: negative coronavirus tests in order to work. Um, all staff
9:57
Speaker 1: members will be wearing masks. Our cooks, of course already
10:02
Speaker 1: wear gloves this whale, UM, but now as all staff
10:06
Speaker 1: members will be wearing masks. All cooks you know have
10:08
Speaker 1: been wearing masks in the past. UM. We are only
10:13
Speaker 1: letting a certain number of people into like for a
10:16
Speaker 1: restaurant like Crave. UM as far as like the size
10:19
Speaker 1: of it, we've only got maybe about square feet UM,
10:23
Speaker 1: so we've limited the number of people that can come
10:25
Speaker 1: into the restaurant to thirty maxims UM. So that's another
10:30
Speaker 1: another thing that we're doing. UM. And then we're thinking
10:33
Speaker 1: about which I haven't done this yet, but I know
10:36
Speaker 1: when I opened the ask of our locations, I'm probably
10:38
Speaker 1: going to have the hostess is gonna have an infrared
10:40
Speaker 1: thermometer and actually be uh checking each customer. You should
10:46
Speaker 1: do that. You should do that for a fever, you
10:48
Speaker 1: should do that. And now you should do that because
10:51
Speaker 1: I'm recommended that too, because you know, I put the
10:53
Speaker 1: guys talked to a lot of small businesses on the
10:55
Speaker 1: regular basis on my show and just from from the
10:58
Speaker 1: beauty and barbersho loot to the restaurant haunting and this
11:00
Speaker 1: is a plan of action you have to put in
11:02
Speaker 1: place and checking the customers when they come in. There's
11:05
Speaker 1: a smart move because if they got a temperature, you know,
11:08
Speaker 1: they should they should be turned around, turned away. They
11:11
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in your place of business. But more importantly
11:14
Speaker 1: having that plane, I think it's really cool. So that's
11:16
Speaker 1: what you did it Crave. So what was the next
11:19
Speaker 1: place of business that you opened up? UM, so they
11:22
Speaker 1: have remedy Salon sweets is open. So those are basically
11:25
Speaker 1: just so what I'm responsible for is kind of the
11:28
Speaker 1: common ground areas pretty much that that business sweet owners
11:32
Speaker 1: they rent from me and so they may have their
11:34
Speaker 1: own sweets in their own businesses to op right. But
11:37
Speaker 1: we did strongly encourage that all of the sweet owners
11:40
Speaker 1: were masks, that they have to have their clients wear masks.
11:44
Speaker 1: UM and that UM so now nobody I normally have
11:47
Speaker 1: a receptionist on site. Nobody will be allowed to go
11:51
Speaker 1: to her death She'll just be buzzing people in it.
11:53
Speaker 1: Then they have to go straight to the sweep that
11:55
Speaker 1: they're going to. UM. She also has the infrared thermometer,
11:58
Speaker 1: so everyone that comes into the out in their temperature
12:01
Speaker 1: will be checked as well. Um and we aren't doing
12:05
Speaker 1: any wedding area, so they literally the customers have to
12:10
Speaker 1: come in and go straight to the suite that they're
12:12
Speaker 1: going to be serviced. It well, really thank you for
12:16
Speaker 1: sharing these stories. Will make these business stories with me
12:19

14:18
Speaker 1: E R dot ai. You are in business with a celebrity.
14:22
Speaker 1: And when when which opens themselves up for criticism, they
14:28
Speaker 1: always say people. You know, you can see a building,
14:31
Speaker 1: but if you don't see a name or person, now
14:32
Speaker 1: he's a person attached that building a restaurant. How what
14:36
Speaker 1: has been the reaction of and even thinking about opening
14:40
Speaker 1: up his business? What has been the reaction to change? Yeah,
14:44
Speaker 1: So I own own three businesses with two chains um.
14:49
Speaker 1: Two of which are is over our locations, which are
14:51
Speaker 1: pretty popular here in the city of Atlanta. Another business
14:55
Speaker 1: that we have members only allowing in restaurants, and that
14:57
Speaker 1: one is more of allowing. So we didn't even consider
15:00
Speaker 1: opening that one when the governor gave us the option
15:02
Speaker 1: to do so. However, our s of our location employees
15:06
Speaker 1: over a hundred people that are absolutely struggling. You know,
15:09
Speaker 1: even though we've been able to do carry out, we've
15:12
Speaker 1: only ourselves have been now by no um. You know,
15:18
Speaker 1: even though we've been able to do carry out, you know,
15:20
Speaker 1: we're just rotating you know, a few staff members UM
15:24
Speaker 1: and so you know a lot of the staff you
15:27
Speaker 1: know has been struggling it. So anyway, you know, when
15:29
Speaker 1: the governor said that we could open um, we initially
15:33
Speaker 1: wanted to go ahead and do so. And so well,
15:35
Speaker 1: you know, I hear all the complaints and I tell
15:38
Speaker 1: people this. Okay, we and you and we're on the
15:42
Speaker 1: same page. Snoop, we're on the same page, okay, from
15:45
Speaker 1: the standpoint of opening your business under the right guidelines
15:50
Speaker 1: of as much having safe operating principles for not only
15:53
Speaker 1: your employees but your customers. Okay. When when the face
15:58
Speaker 1: mask first came out, they were telling us not to
16:00
Speaker 1: wear face masks, he said, don't wear that, fast man,
16:02
Speaker 1: don't wear face masks. Then three weeks later, wear a
16:04
Speaker 1: face mask. And now they're telling us, hey, when this
16:07
Speaker 1: is safe to open. I don't know when it's going
16:10
Speaker 1: to be safe to open because of the fact that
16:14
Speaker 1: nobody has found the vaccine and they've already told us
16:17
Speaker 1: this summer that you will still be social distancing. So
16:21
Speaker 1: we have to figure out the plans new on how
16:24
Speaker 1: to operate our businesses, how to social distance ourselves. And
16:29
Speaker 1: then when the people start open to the first thing
16:31
Speaker 1: they're gonna say is it's Spike, I told you, I
16:33
Speaker 1: told you so. As they start open the business, I'll
16:35
Speaker 1: tell you something. It's gonna spike anyway, as soon as
16:39
Speaker 1: we start really living a normal life, it's going to spike.
16:43
Speaker 1: But when we start living a normal life, Snoop, it's
16:46
Speaker 1: when we can figure out how to contain this, how
16:50
Speaker 1: can how we can live correctly. But your business has
16:54
Speaker 1: to open to change. Should not be hit with any
16:58
Speaker 1: backlash because he's trying ain't to run a business in
17:01
Speaker 1: a new world, a new social society that prevents us
17:05

17:48
Speaker 1: just staying facts in the new world that we live in.
17:51
Speaker 1: It's a pandemic world that we live in, and we're
17:53
Speaker 1: all trying to figure this out together. This crisis is
17:56
Speaker 1: not over, so we're trying to figure out how we
17:58
Speaker 1: can move forward, how we can do business, how we
18:00
Speaker 1: can go shopping without being nervous. When we go shopping,
18:04
Speaker 1: we can find toilet paper on the shelves, we can
18:07
Speaker 1: find hand sanitized on the shelves, when we can find
18:10
Speaker 1: paper towels on the shelf, rubber gloves on the shelves.
18:13
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to get in this new world now.
18:17
Speaker 1: Businesses have to exist because people are imployed. Four point
18:19
Speaker 1: four million people on it for apply for unemployment. That
18:23
Speaker 1: is not sustainable. I'm still waiting on my my payroll
18:27
Speaker 1: protection program protection check that hadn't arrived yet may not arrive.
18:30
Speaker 1: So I still have to do business. I still have
18:32
Speaker 1: to maintained my employees. We do Zoom meetings on the
18:35
Speaker 1: daily basis because my guests Snoop dealer is in the
18:39
Speaker 1: hospitality business. That means that her business is designed to
18:43
Speaker 1: interact with people. People have to come to her, She
18:46
Speaker 1: provides the service, They enjoy their service, they tell their friends,
18:50
Speaker 1: they tell other potential customers, and her business flourishes. Since
18:54
Speaker 1: a pandamic hit, she has had to shutter all of
18:57
Speaker 1: her doors because of that reason. It is effective a
19:00
Speaker 1: lot of people working, people who are making a lot
19:04
Speaker 1: of effective payroll payments, of payments, slayer creditors, rent, mortgage,
19:10
Speaker 1: car notes, food, which this economy needs to get back
19:14
Speaker 1: rolling on. I am not an advocate of how Governor
19:18
Speaker 1: Kemp does business. I'm just an advocate of individuals who
19:22
Speaker 1: are trying to function again in this new pandemic world snoop,
19:26
Speaker 1: the floor is yours. You know you're you're your business person.
19:30
Speaker 1: You didn't see this coming. I didn't see it coming.
19:32
Speaker 1: How are you looking forward? And when people are but
19:34
Speaker 1: people are still coming to you for advice because you
19:37
Speaker 1: are success you know you you know you are a
19:40
Speaker 1: leader or visionary. How are you dealing with other people
19:43
Speaker 1: are seeking advice from you during these pandemic times? Um,
19:48
Speaker 1: Hey just trying to be you know a strong sense
19:50
Speaker 1: of support you know for other business owners, especially those
19:54
Speaker 1: that are afraid to open up their businesses because of
19:56
Speaker 1: back lass. You have some businesses that if they continue
19:59
Speaker 1: to stay closed, they may not it may not even
20:02
Speaker 1: be a possibility for them to open up again at all. Um.
20:06
Speaker 1: So you know, just kind of you know, being a
20:08
Speaker 1: support for those people, help and talk about you know,
20:10
Speaker 1: the numbers and how far how much sales are down,
20:13
Speaker 1: you know, and things of that nature. I think people
20:15
Speaker 1: just a lot of times kind of look at business
20:18
Speaker 1: owners has privileged people, you know, who get it made,
20:20
Speaker 1: you know, just because you have a business or too. Um,
20:24
Speaker 1: and that's not the truth. You know what I'm saying.
20:25
Speaker 1: Businesses have, um, a lot of finances and a lot
20:29
Speaker 1: of bills and things of that nature you know behind them.
20:32
Speaker 1: Uh So another thing that I've just been kind of
20:35
Speaker 1: doing is I've also recorded some courses that I've been
20:38
Speaker 1: released in every week. So um, I've got my website
20:42
Speaker 1: is who is snoop dot com? But people can go
20:44
Speaker 1: to courses that's who is snoop dot com? And I've
20:47
Speaker 1: it's done different courses. Or you know, how to open
20:50
Speaker 1: up a business, you know, how to fund your business,
20:52
Speaker 1: how to save and invest, how to invest into the market,
20:55
Speaker 1: because that's a big thing right now. You know, this
20:57
Speaker 1: is a man made recession. So with the market being down,
21:01
Speaker 1: it is absolutely gonna go up. And you know, there
21:04
Speaker 1: are lots of businesses that do good business who stock
21:07
Speaker 1: is down just because of what's going on, and so
21:10
Speaker 1: there's a lot of opportunity there, you know, for individuals
21:14
Speaker 1: to be able to make money, um in the stock market.
21:16
Speaker 1: So I've been doing various classes and things of that nature,
21:19
Speaker 1: just keeping people, um up up to date on what's
21:22
Speaker 1: going on on. UM. I've also you know, I've got
21:24
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel which is people can subscribe to that
21:28
Speaker 1: at who is Snoop, and so I released videos every
21:32
Speaker 1: week there. I've done some just talking about the different
21:36
Speaker 1: financial opportunities that are available out there, such as the
21:38
Speaker 1: PPP law and the economic injury disaster, UH loan and
21:43
Speaker 1: grant and things of that nature. So, uh, just trying
21:46
Speaker 1: to speake insistent and continue to do what I do
21:49
Speaker 1: and keep people informed. You know, some you said a
21:53
Speaker 1: lot right there, you that you're pretty busy, You're pretty
21:57
Speaker 1: by Yeah. Each each week we've been like also two
22:02
Speaker 1: times on myself as been feeding somebody. So like today
22:04
Speaker 1: we spread the homeless. Last week you know, we felt
22:08
Speaker 1: we said, um, some of the essential workers at Southern
22:10
Speaker 1: Reach your medical center. So um, just still you know,
22:14
Speaker 1: trying to do what we do well. You know, it's
22:16
Speaker 1: important that all the well you know from Jump when
22:19
Speaker 1: I first brought you on the show, and it was
22:20
Speaker 1: about you know, fear, doubt and failure among the many
22:23
Speaker 1: reasons businesses failed and people quit. But you believe overcoming
22:28
Speaker 1: obstacles in life is the best tool for success. That's
22:30
Speaker 1: why you were talking about It's Snoop who is snoop
22:33
Speaker 1: dot com which highlights the recent achievements of you while
22:36
Speaker 1: documenting your journey with the world and this success around you.
22:39
Speaker 1: You know, we all go back to when you graduated
22:42
Speaker 1: from Vanderbilt because you graduated when you were sixteen? Correct,
22:46
Speaker 1: I graduated when when he was six sixteen? As you graduating,
22:51
Speaker 1: you use twenty and so so you've always been ahead
22:54
Speaker 1: of the curve academically and professionally. And so how did
22:59
Speaker 1: you advice to people who are trying to find themselves,
23:03
Speaker 1: especially they at home? There's a lot of doubt, there's
23:05
Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty. What advice will you get? People
23:08
Speaker 1: are young people, male or female? Uh, how to how
23:12
Speaker 1: to deal with these these crisis situations right now? As
23:15
Speaker 1: new UM, I would just tell people, you know, stay grounded,
23:18
Speaker 1: you know, stay prayed up. Um, try not to and
23:23
Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, just following um you know,
23:28
Speaker 1: just what what it is that other people are doing.
23:30
Speaker 1: You know, have your own mind, you know, be a leader,
23:33
Speaker 1: to be smart. Um. I think one of the things
23:35
Speaker 1: that you commented on it so true. You know, there's
23:37
Speaker 1: just so much different information that's out there. It contradicts
23:42
Speaker 1: itself because this is a new virus, you know. So
23:45
Speaker 1: one of the things that I was really focused on doing.
23:47
Speaker 1: It's just kind of working on some things that I
23:50
Speaker 1: normally don't have time to do, you know, because life
23:53
Speaker 1: is generally moving so fast. You know, clean your closets out,
23:56
Speaker 1: clean your phones out, you know, little gardening projects and
23:59
Speaker 1: things of that nature, you know at the house, you know.
24:02
Speaker 1: So um, I think it's a good time to just
24:05
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, focus on getting some things to accomplish.
24:08
Speaker 1: Uh and as well as you know, make sure that
24:11
Speaker 1: you you get your information for yourself. You know, you
24:14
Speaker 1: have a lot of people who don't even turn on
24:15
Speaker 1: the news, you know, most of their information is coming
24:19
Speaker 1: from just social media. That is so true. That is
24:23
Speaker 1: so true because if any times, any time right now
24:29
Speaker 1: you should be hunkering down and getting the actual facts.
24:33
Speaker 1: So I mean, I even watch Fox News now. I
24:35
Speaker 1: want everything. I want all the information. Now, I'm not
24:38
Speaker 1: trying to be You're not gonna sell me over on CNN,
24:41
Speaker 1: or you're not gonna sell me over here on ABCO.
24:43
Speaker 1: Challenges I like, I go through less hope, I go
24:46
Speaker 1: through all less to hope. I go through all of
24:48
Speaker 1: them so I can make a decision that is right
24:51
Speaker 1: for me and right for my family, and right for
24:53

27:38
Speaker 1: about bundling your home on Auto and sports. Three goals

Speaker 1: is a hat trick, and when you bundle your home

27:50
Speaker 1: But in this metaphor, great savings counts as two goals,
27:53
