• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a marathon runner and your professional life as a working
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: at the major working at Major League Baseball for sure. Now,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the interesting thing about it is that I want to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: tell everybody, let me just such a tone here, because
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm writing a book called Money Making Conversations God to Success,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and one of the chapters that I have in my
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: book is called do not make these mistakes when I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: say that, as me, you gotta have a hobby. You
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: should do something, spend time for yourself. And that's why
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I was really interested in the interviewing you, because you've
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: accomplished that. Like I just really picked up a real
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: hobby three years ago when I started baking and so,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: but you have a hobby. There's a little bit more strenuous.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Should I call it a hobby, miss Bill? Because I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: called marathon hobby one of my favorite hobby. It's very
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: six point two miles of constant motion, that's a hobby. Now,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: let's let's go back a little bit because I really
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: want to get into because you are a legitimate African
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: American record holder for this for running eight marathons on
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: eight different continents and each race was twenty six point
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: two miles correct, that's correct. I do want to let
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know. I got my I did my homework, rid
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: all the blogs, you know, rid all the press releases
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: so I could be ready for you. Now explain to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: me why did you do it, though? Because that's crazy. Now,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know that's crazy. Now I gotta be real too,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and I gotta be professional. Now when you tell me
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you running eight marathons, eight days, eight different continents, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: word crazy pops up in my head. Correct, and I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: own the fact that I am crazy. I've been called
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: crazy twenty of times and I own it now. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: your record holding crazy person though? Okay? Correct? Now when
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you when you Now, let's tell us about this whole experience,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: because I really want to, you know, I want to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: be serious and playful at the same time, because I'm
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: really serious that a lot of people make mistakes, small
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: business owners especially, and people who work corporate jobs. It's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just any job. They're they're afraid just give them time,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the only time for themselves or time for their family,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: vacation time because they just think they're gonna miss out
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of something, or they can't afford it, or if they
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do that, it's gonna take away from success. In another area.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: How are you able to come to that that that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: piece of mind for yourself or will you always like this?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's always been um an avenue and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: outlet for me to clear my mind. Like running just
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: just makes me feel better. Maybe not running eight it
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: didn't make me feel better, but running has always made
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: me feel better. It allows me to clear my mind.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I talked to God while I'm running. I pray while
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I'm running, and so it makes a difference. And I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: think everyone should have something as an outlet. You know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it's really correct when you say that. In college, I've
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: read long distance, not not that long, not that long.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I ran long distances and it and it's really an
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: interesting thing that you put your body through because you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: your body is a mental process that you go through,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: because when you hit certain mile points, your body starts
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: talking to you and you have to get through it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's pain you have to get through, and sometimes
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: just physical disconfort you have to get through. And once
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you get through that, then it's just your body just
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: relaxes and it just and you just can just almost
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: like run forever. And so but you do have those
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: moments of just just deep thought when you can just
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: when you just see life differently because there's so many
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: things that you are for the for the for the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: first time in your life, you actually just it's almost
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like meditation. Correct correct for sure and when. Now, Now
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: here's the thing that got to me about the twenty
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: six point two miles in eight days, eight different continents
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: is the recovery time. Let me let me reach everybody
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: what the recovery time is when you run a marathon. Generally,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it takes a minimum two to three weeks for the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: body to recover from the strain of running twenty six
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: miles three five yards. Return too quickly and you increase
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: your risk of injury. Some experts suggest resting one day
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for every mile you run in the marathon. Thus twenty
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: six days of no hard running or racing. That's what
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they suggest, Miss Bail, I want everybody to hear that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Now every mile that you run, you're supposed to arrest
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: one day. I'm trying to figure out because you you're
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a different continents, so you're flying, probably doing trains, probably
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: doing cab rides. So so I just don't wanna I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: just don't want to fluff this off. Now, if any
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: abouty want to google her name is c E l
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: E s t E. Bailee Marathon run up. Because I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: think people won't believe this unless they verified, and this
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: just verifiable information. When you pull a part name, it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: gonna say African American Marathon record holder. Correct. Correct, It's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: gonna have a picture here of her underneath the underneath
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this uh this finish line and the snow on the ground. Okay, okay, okay,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: let let let's tell everybody I know this is this.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: This is so fun talking to you about this. Okay.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: She started the Eight Continent Marathon and Auckland that's Awkland right,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: New England, New Zealand in January. The next stop was
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Australia Oceana on the four, and then when she went
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to Asia on the five. Then you when you went
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to Africa on January six. Then on seven she was
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in Europe, and then she was back to North America
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in New York, New York City's Iceberger International Marathon on
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: then she went to Chile in South America for the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth, and then she wrapped it up January in Antarctica. Correct, Now,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: my friend, how do you feel? Now you know I'm
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: actually back to novel. I feel good. I you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it only took me a couple of days to really
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: get back to normal in terms of the recovery physically. Um,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the sleep deprivation took a little a little longer, like
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a week. How many how many hours were you able
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to sleep in between races? Because to travel? Travel was terrible,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And travel was the piece of it that I didn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: really totally factor in because I had run five marathons
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in five states back to back twice, and so I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: felt like I thought like I knew what I was into,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and that travel piece totally made it different. So I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: didn't sleep very much between the first four races. Um,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I normally can sleep on the plane like with no problem.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But I couldn't sleep. I think, you know, the anxiety,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the nerves, you know, I just couldn't sleep. And so
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I felt like the first flour I was zombie running
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. I want to We're gonna, we're gonna continue
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this conversation, but I want to because we want to
• 11:26

• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Ms celest Bill. Now, play like a girl. What exactly
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is that organization that you really ran to raise money for?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: What exactly is that organization? Yeah? So play like a girl.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: They set out to encourage girls to continue to play sports. Um.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: They believe that girls that play sports can do anything.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And I truly believe that is the case. Um, sports
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: bills confidence and you know, learning teamwork and there's so many,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: so many skills that you learn through participating in sports.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And say so they not only introduced sport to some girls,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they try to make sure that that girls keep split,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: keep playing sports throughout their lives. Um, and so it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a great organization. UM. I connected with play like a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: girl because I resent, you know, I played sports. I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm the only girl of five children. I've
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: got four brothers, and UM, I grew up as a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: tomboy playing sports, playing basketball, and so I know the value. Um,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it's the reason why I wanted to be in sports
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and in place, you know, work in sports. And so, UM,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a fantastic organization. UM that's only scratching
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the surface in terms of what they're doing. And I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: actually just got voted onto the board board of directors
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: this past week. Well, you run eight continent, who's gonna
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: chase you off? You know, you track anybody down? Get
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: my heads thought, okay, heads thought, okay, rishaw. When I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: catch you're gonna be problems. Now, gonna be problems. Now
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: when I pass you up, gonna be more problems. Because
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: because you know your whole background I'm looking at you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have a bachelor's de grid Exercise and Sports Science for
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. So you've always been
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: associated with that, the physicality I want to say, of
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: being an athlete. Correct, and would that help you? Did
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that help you in the marathon? Because we wanted to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: talk about this because when I was reading your blog,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you know you didn't have some difficult days. You know
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of But no, no, no, don't
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you jump out of here, because I've been asking you
• 16:35

• 16:57
  Speaker 1: have recovery time. So when you hop what went I

  Speaker 1: have made a mistake that might have been the first one. Yeah, yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I I struggled. I struggled a lot. Um. I actually
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: got sick on the way to New Zealand. Um, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: like threw up on the plane and I was concerned about,
• 17:24

• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the second and third races. Um. You know, I it
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: was really really hot. You know it was in the nineties,
• 17:35

• 17:42
  Speaker 1: thank God for getting me through every single week. Congratulations.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed here in this party of life. Continue to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: do the whole people are here this and realize that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: when I'm trying to emphasize to everyone that you can
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I've worked at IBM, I've worked up small businesses and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'll always had that difficulty of balancing it. And I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: feel that you're you're blessed in a way to have
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: understood the process the importance of it. Because in Major
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, you know, you know from Houston, so the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Houston Astros or the World champions. And I'm proud to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: say and we will and we will repeat, we will repeat. Okay,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I want to put that out in public to Oliver America.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: The Houston nastroals will be repeating and and I and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I bring that up because you know, you're you're your
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: your minority and you and you work for our sport
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that that you know that that isn't considered a minority
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: sport other than international players. So, and you're in charge
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of recruiting and special projects from Major League Baseball, explain
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to us exactly what that what does that mean? As
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the senior director. Yeah, so I run the recruiting team
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: for um, the league, and so I recruit and my
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: team recruits, uh, engineers, attorneys, finance professionals, you name it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: That acts staffed the league offices and so um. You know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: we hire a lot of engineers because there's a lot
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of technology behind baseball and metrics. Yes, yes, and so
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: we has changed baseball. Metrics has changed baseball the way
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Jeff Luna of the Houston Natural We absolutely brought that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: over from the St. Nolis Cardinals. If you want to
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: follow baseball, you know, people are looking at the very
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: rotation of a baseball, the spin of a baseball, to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: effect whether you're going to be a long term contract
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: or you're going to be a released pitch or relief
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: pitch or starter. So you know, because so you're just
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: saying that they hear the word engineer or sociary baseball,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: who would think that you there their their job opportunities
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: at the Major League Baseball waiting for you to consider
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: correct exactly exactly. And one of the one of the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: programs that we've recently connected to and put in place,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: it's All Star Code UM. Allstar Codes an organization that
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: UM they're in the process of developing young engineers UM
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: black and Latino males and it's a fantastic organization that
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: UM we partner with for the last two years. UM.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: They're looking to place these kids. They teach these kids
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: how to code on site in different organizations and you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: with the with the thought process that they'll go into
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: computer science and they'll go to go into computer engineering,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and that they'll become the next face of technology within Google,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: within Facebook, within Major League Baseball. UM. It's one of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: it's one of the i'd say most favorite things that
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that we're doing UM from a recruiting standpoint. Now, I'm
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I with you go to I got I got the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: app for Major League Baseball because the Astros are the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: world champions. Okay, you know, you know I got just
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to be real with you know, I'm about information. Now.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm a fan. I'm a Bandwagon fan,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but I'm a fan and so so what you do
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: is the interactive media you're coming they manage is the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: official league site of all the thirty clubs. Correct, So
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of information. You know, Baseball has always
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: been probably the one sport that historically, you know, just
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: just just mind information. You know, you want to know
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: what Ty Cobb did, You don't want to know the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: stoler base It is probably the most detailed sport in
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the history of all sports when it comes to information
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and backloging it and keeping a strong historical data. Correct.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And when you do all that stuff, you're the leader.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Your leader. And so so with that being said, when
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you mentioned these programs about the Major League Baseball getting
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: behind you know, minorities and giving them, uh these doors
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to open up and to participate in this for everybody
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: as well. But how can one how can one learn
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: about these programs? Because you have the major League Baseball
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: dot com site, are the other sites that they can
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: go to to find out more how they can get
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: involved with the job opportunities that are available at Major
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: League Baseball? So our you know, our career site. Of course,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: there's always a great site UM LinkedIn. I always have
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: UM instead of my bio and who I am I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: always as my summary, have the jobs that we're that
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: we're recruiting for linked in, they can, they can contact you. Correct, Absolutely,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that's hot. So so because that's actually that's how we
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: started talking. Okay, LinkedIn exactly started messaged ms Bell said
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: would you like to be on my show? She said fantastic?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And I went, we're friends. We're friends. And so that's
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: why I'm just letting everybody know how LinkedIn really really works,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: because I had a LinkedIn expert on my show last
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: week and he was talking about really linked in. It
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: is like it's like, you know, employment opportunities, you were
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you're concerned about career opportunities, things you can go with
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: your career and get jobs and and meet people in
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the same or like minded feels. That's what LinkedIn is available.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Have you found that using LinkedIn has been effective in
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: your recruiting needs? Absolutely? We use that. That's like one
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of our primary sources in terms of recruiting. Yeah. Okay,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So now there's another step in this whole conversation. So
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: how does one if they're listening it to my show
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and they all linked in, how does one do they
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: just direct message you? Or how does how does that work.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: M hm, you know, direct message and if let's say
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of times, if you don't have a connection, um,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you may have to use like LinkedIn mail. But there's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a way around that. You know. If you go to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: someone's profile and you see that they're part of a group,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: join that group, you know, so that you can you
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: can direct message them through the group, you know, because
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you're a part of the same group. UM. So if
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you don't have a connection of some kind, find the connection. Well,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: there's all about if you want something, find a way
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: to get it, you know, so exactly forever opportunity that
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I instead of working for Major League Baseball to be
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a huge opportunity. You gotta learn to work and learn
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to put the time in. And I found that it's

• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I know. So for first, listen to everybody know what
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: it incites me about our relationship and what you're doing.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: But even without me, you know. And it's called Rise TV.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: What exactly is Rise TV? Man? Roy TV is a
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a video streaming service, uh for the urban community. Man.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So if you're if you're familiar with Netflix, uh, then
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: you we're are Netflix, but we target the urban community.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So we focused on programming that includes movies and series
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and documentaries all created by urban filmmakers. Now with that
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: being said, because uh, is there a fee to subscribe
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to Rise? Is that monthly fee? Absolutely? It is a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: subscription based service. So it is very much, very much
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: like Netflix, but but we focused on on a niche market.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So yes, it is a subscription based service because as
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: we can see beause because I see to say, it's
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: like our stories, our oars, our time Rise TV. Now
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: now let's go, let's let's go. You know when a
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: guy like you, you know, listen, who is this guy
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna start, He's gonna compete with Netflix. We
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: all know, letflix, you can't compete with Netflix. Let's go ahead,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a little history about it, because you had you started
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: in Florida, correct, with the My Rise really came for
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the name of your magazine. Correct, absolutely, So we started
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: off as a as a magazine. We started there as
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a traditional magazine company. We had a print publication, and
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: then we evolved into the digital space as we saw
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the digital evolution taking place, and uh, digital just a great,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: great medium because it's the reach of it. And so
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: we began to really understand that core market. We we
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: always have targeted the urban demographic just because that was
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a lane that we understood and anytime you're in media,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you want you can't be all things to all people.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So we we knew our market very well. We studied
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: our marketing, and so that is origins of where we
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: where we came from and and so so when you
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: sit around, this is all about content. And you know,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you hear him out there, and I just want to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: slow everybody it down. You know. The reason that excites
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: me about any because he's an entrepreneur, he's a small
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: business owner getting into a very competitive field. There's content
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: driven because you know, Netflix is about you. You're going,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I'm teasing. I go on Netflix and I go, okay, well,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: well nothing to watch, you know, and then they got
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: ton of things for me to watch. And I was
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: looking at last night, going I'm just going through it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying it's nothing to watch. But I'm going
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: through all these options, you know what I'm saying. It's
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: like it's crazy, you know, going like, okay, okay, I
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: saw Stranger Things, I saw The Defenders, I saw Punisher,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I saw Jessica Jones, I saw There Therevil okay, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I just I just saw this new series called All
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a Carbon, which is really good. So so that's me,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you know, that's me Rishan, you know, just sitting at
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the house, you know, and I'm a guy. I was
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: sit up there and I will Binge. You know, I
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: started six o'clock on six pm on Friday night and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: be wide awake and four am on Saturday morning. Still watch.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: But let me let me let me add this in Rashana. Yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I know you use the term competing with Netflix, but
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I always say we we don't see ourselves that as
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: necessarily competition with Netflix, because here's the thing, man, here,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: here's the thing man. One thing that we truly believe in,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the one thing that we understood when we did the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: magazine and everything evolving from that, is that people of
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: color want to see here and understand themselves through the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: images that they see on the screen and on television.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: You want to see images that reflect them. That's why
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: we see Black Pather being so successful among our community
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and how we embrace sit and dressing up and to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: go see it because it was something that we could
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: relate to. And so one of the things that I
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: started seeing as we were in the digital media space
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was and I kept coming across all of these great
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: content creators, black creators or people that were creating content
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: target that our demographic that could not land distribution. And
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I tell you, Rashan, I know you go to the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to the film festivals in all of these places, and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: you see this great content that exists out there that
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: never sees the light of day beyond the film festivals.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: And so that was what we said we wanted to
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: focus on, is those creators who could you are creating
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: that content that connects with the market that doesn't even
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: know that content exists. So so that's the lane that
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: we play in. And we focused on the niche because
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: we say Netflix targets the masses, but when you look
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: at their library of content, less than one percent of
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: their original content is created and market or targeted towards
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: our demographics. So that's kind of the lane that we play,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: is that carving out that coordinache and that's why why
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: we're excited about what we do. Well, I'm excited because
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, first of all, you
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: make an attempt to do it, and that's the first
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: step in trying to give us options as options. And
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you know, you have TV one, which I'm very proud of,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: your BT which I'm very proud of. You know, if
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: New TV is out there, I think they're doing a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: similar launch as you're trying to do. But the bottom
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: line is that being able to get those subscribers to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: to to be there every every day. How do you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: build that momentum? How what is the plan in place
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: for that? And you know, and I'm not trying try
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: trying to put you on the spot, just talking about
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: how people are finding your brand and how people are
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and how I can help you, you know, promote your brand.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And that's why I got you on the show. Absolutely absolutely, Well,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. The core thing is is really focusing
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: on who the target market is that we want to
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: deliver this to. Who do we feel like the commune
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: connects with this the most? And then we's from being
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: in those places marketing the show's marketing the different things
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that we have on the on the platform in those places.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: If our market target market is on Instagram, then we're
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: going to be marketing those shows on Instagram. If our
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: target market is at the College Champions and we want
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to be at the College Champions, is letting them know, hey,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: this is a new show we're adding, and this is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: a lead series that we're attempting to add. What do
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: you think about this? And really really being in those
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: different places. If our core target market is listening to
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the John McDonald's show. Then we want to be in
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: them telling them saying, hey, go to on the Rise
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: dot TV and check us out and and let us
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: know what you're looking for. Let us know what's in
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the marketplace that you don't see that you would like
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to see, and maybe we can work to work with
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: some creators to create that stuff. And so it takes time,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: rashin and certainly is not something that happens overnight. We see,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you know, certainly TV one and d G and the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: traditional media space for those companies have built over time
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and some time is taking what they've been doing in
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the cable TV market and now transitioning to the streaming
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: market where we see, you know, numbers are clearly clearly climbing.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how you see, you know, because Netflix was
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: just was just sitting out there. You know, we're just
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: sitting out there, and you know, and Netflix, let me
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: just answer to this everybody, it's not television. Netflix. It
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: gets confused because you know, it's being nominated for Emmies,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: But in the traditional format of what it is, it's
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: not television because you streaming, you stream it and so
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: you're not tied to a network. But but they win.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: And all the reason I'm bringing up Netflix in the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: conversation is to give people a comparison to exactly what
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you're trying to do, but you're doing it from an
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: from a unique marketing standpoint. But they win because like
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I have a remote, one of my remote on my TV,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: it has Netflix right there right now. I can't help
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: but okay, out of curiosity, I might push it one day,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: which I did. Then it goes me. Okay, you give
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: me an adult kid or other or if I want
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to set it up for my wife or my daughter,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: they can have their own little Netflix channel, you know.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: So when I look at what you're doing, you're doing
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Jay was Rise as r y s
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: E Ride. You have an app you can download. I'm
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: just letting everybody know that there is something fantastic that
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you're building and Rise TV and people need to get
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: on board man, absolutely, And I'll tell you, I thank
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you for that. And we're too launching on the rocal device.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's collaborating with people like you were
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: shy and I'll tell you you are in this space,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: have been in this space for a number of years.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: You have a number of resources you know, you understand
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the people that we are trying to help. Even with
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the context at the point, you understand those individuals, man,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and so you you certainly get it. So I thank
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you for your time, your your your energy, your forces,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and just everything that you've been doing to to really
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: help us Catafornia. Yes, we gotta circle back around, man,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but we will. But now here's the deal, man, here's
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the deal. Now, this is rou Sean mcdump. Now this
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: is I'd have been at the thinner Black pantherther Theinner
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: with my little rise card and everybody who came out
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that theorty. You want to hear your voice. Here you go,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: because because I looked at the breakdown, thirty five percent
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: African American's attended the movie opening weekend, thirty seven cent.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent was white, eighteen percent was Latino, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I think five percent was was an Asian. So I'm
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: out there, my man, I'm out there. I'm just letting
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you know, Black Panther theinter in the theater, it's still
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that notw I'll be out there with my little my
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: little rise card. Look, try this for thirty days, Try
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: this for thirty days. But you gotta put your crackit
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: card in because if you don't, if you forget, I'm
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: gonna charge you. You got the man, That's how we
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: need to do because you are certainly come. Man. I'll
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: tell you, dude, I'll tell you, man. That's how they
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: do it. That's how Netflix got me. They got it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: They gave me a little card. It was free for
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: three months, but I had to put it in my
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: credit card information. Next thing, you know, nine nine popped
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: up on my credit card. I'd think none of it did.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Three months later, I decided to watch Netflix. I started
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: watching Uh Dare Devil, and I've been hooked ever since.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: And so that's how it all, man. It's all about

  Speaker 1: now you got this machine. It means I could eat
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: one Crispy Creed donut going there and you're knocking out
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: with one bed session. Maybe I would say maybe one though,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: this is this is fantastic. So let's let's talk about
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: the location of the spa because the show plays back
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: on our heart radio podcast and this give us some
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: phone numbers and some websites because you're fantastic and I'm
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: really a big fan of what you're doing in Houston
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: with your spa and with your skin care products. Well,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. So we are located in downtown Houston,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: next to House of Loess twelve oh one fan in
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Street one seven. We're open Monday through Saturday ten to seven,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: and for any of the spat services, of course, you
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: can go to the website, which is Camelia at least
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: dot com and then you can also call me at
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: A three two three eight four four six zero eight.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: So so now what you gotta do now is now
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: you gotta give me a social media banner so we
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: can post it on money Making Conversation and drive traffic
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: to your business. Now, would be even better is if
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I'm laying in one of those those little sweat beds.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it a sweat bed, and you take
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: a picture of me and then we posted they were
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: really gonna drive some business over there. Yes, that would
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: be excellent. Well, this is fantastic. So when you've been
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: in business for a year, any highs and loads that
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: you want to tell any of our our our listeners
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: about who are trying to get in business experiencing it.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Some of the things that you missed that you thought
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: you were aware of when you was planning out everything,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: putting the budget together. Um, I think I was not
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: putting enough of a marketing budget together. So that was
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: one thing I had to learn, because you do, you
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: have to pay for ad space, you have to pay
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: for social media. UM, it's you know, it just can
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: be challenging to get everything out there on your own.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: So I would say, make sure you have a marketing
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: budget ready to promote yourself. Um. And as far as
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the highs, I mean, you know I told you before
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I had Umlim Thug and a few other celebrities that
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: were so supportive of my startup. And then also the
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: retail location I won through a pitch competition, So I
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: would definitely say pitch competitions are great. Yes, you want
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: to pitch your conferensation in Houston called liftoff Houston, where
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: the first price was ten thousand dollars and they do
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: it every year. If you're listening in Houston, Texas, you're
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: a small business owner who has not established your business yet.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity that I hosted this year. Uh
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and I planned on hosting again. They got to run
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: me off because when I like something, I don't like
• 50:21

• 51:51
  Speaker 1: a feeling athletic wear, which is inspired from the eighties.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I got to talk about that because I
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: was a fitness instructor in the eighties, So we gotta
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: talk about that. And it's just a great new book
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: that I want to talk about in our first break.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: It's called The Right Fit Formula. Please welcome from Los Angeles, California,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: to Money Making Conversations Christine Lucid. Hello, there you go, girl,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: you go. That's the energy. I wouldn't need it. I've
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: been I've been waiting. Do you all wanted Christine energy
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: for you? Well, that's great because you know the thing
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: about it, because you're a motivator, right, a trainer, a
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: fitness person, because everybody doesn't want to do you know,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: it's kind of interested. We want to do what you're
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: what you're pitching, but we really don't want to do
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: what you're pitching. When it comes to you gotta we
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: gotta weight train, you gotta lose weight. You gotta find
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: out what you want. And that's why I liked about
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: this book because that that's coming out because I've been
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: reading everything the body did my homework. Because you can't
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: buy it right now. The book is called The Right Fit.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with Christine. Her last name is
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: spelled l U s I t A as l U
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: s I t A, and she has a book called
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: The Right Fit Form learn and tell everybody about this
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: book before I go in more detail. I don't want to.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I want I want to break break with you telling
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: us first. And then I got all my questions. You
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, all my questions, but I'm not
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: going to give away the book though, good, good, We'll
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: give away a little bit. Here's the thing you said
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: it exactly. What is corrupt is we really want to
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: reach our goals, but we don't really want to because
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: it's been so hard for us right until now, because
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: we have been trying to chase somebody else's version of perception,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: some celebrity we admire, coworker, a friend, or a family.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: And that's the wrong approach because when you chase after
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: what worked for someone else, it's no longer easier. It's
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: a struggle, and nobody wants to struggle in anything that
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: they do. And we've got to have um are. We've
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: got to be in a I'm meant to what works
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: for us in order in order for it to be easier,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: which is why I created the Right Formula, which is
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: to help everybody finds their true right fit that honors
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: their uniqueness, that honors their individuality, and that's really geared
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and based off of their personality, their lifestyle, what works
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: for them, what feels good to them. Because the truth is,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: if it doesn't feel good, it doesn't matter because you're
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: never going to stick with it, That's absolutely the truth.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Or you want stick to you want, you won't stick
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: to it a long time. And so so when I
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: was here's the thing that this is why I liked
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: the book. First of all, I haven't ready yet, but
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: this is why I like the cover. On the cover,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: she's leaping with a cupcake in I Hate You Gotta
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Love a book that talks about weight law and the
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: star and the author is holding the cupcake because I'm
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: saying you can have your cake and losely. When I
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: saw that, we went on Amazon. You know, I was
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: trying to download you can't. So you can pre order
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the book right now. Yeah, it's coming out in two weeks,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: so pre ordering, get your ordering right now. See, I'm
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: on top of my game with your Christine, you know,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna top of my game trying to sell you
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: some books. Now, when your book come out, we're gonna
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: come back on. We're gonna go through word by word
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: and let everybody know. And I'm probably gonna have my
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: right fit formula died, playing down pad and everything. I'm
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be probably I wait, two old five right now,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: two on four right now, I'm probably gonna be a
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: by the end of your one fifth. All these times
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do because I enjoy I enjoyed listening to
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: people like you who motivate, who engage people, because that's
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: what you do correct not too right, And and the
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: whole goal of that, I mean, the cover of the
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: book was really to show you, guys that life is
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: about that leans. Nothing works if you're ever going to
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: restrict yourself and you can have it all. You can,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: like I said, have your cake and lose weight too,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: because that's what life is meant to be a balance.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: And every single chapter in the book is broken down.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Let's face it, Rachan, there are certain obstacles that everybody
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: will face on a journey to lose weight and live healthier.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody is immune to these obstacles, whether it's learning to balance,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: whether it's learning to um uh who's looking for, Whether
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: it's learning to manage your time or find more energy
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: or clear the clutter out of your life, or to
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: learn how to make goals that you can rock. Whether
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: it's learning how to quiet down that self inner critic,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's learning to find workouts that actually
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: feel good to your body, whether it's learning to foods
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: that you love. The problem is is anyone who's ever
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: tried to lose weight definitely knows um the obstacles that
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: you'll see, but awsolutely excuse me the pain that happens.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: And there's disconnection. I mean, do you know anyone who's
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: going on a weight loss plan and said, m I
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: love what I'm eating? Right? No, right, in fact, I'm
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: agreeing with your dad. You have these plans out there
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: that really frustrate you, you you know, and they almost you know,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: if you stick with it. I've done them all, the
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: crazy you know, the lemon the lemon diet, you know
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: that you know you just drinking, you just eat lemons,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the popcorn die I've done all a little quick crazy,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I've done them all, you know, But like
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, because you know you're gonna ride
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: If gimmicks say quick, you're gonna ride gimmicky. And that's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: what your book is saying. This book is not about gimmick.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Is a boy finding your right lane to losing weight
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: and a healthy lifestyle. That's what I took away in
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: doing our research on the book. Is about is about you.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: The dot is important, but it's also about looking inside yourself,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: your faith, you where you in your life, get all
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: that balance correct. And I thought that was a really
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: interesting approach that you've taken with this book. Thank you.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to build the person reading it. First
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: of all, I wanted it to be a totally narcissistic book.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: It's finally time it's about you. Right, you are the
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: trend in two thousand and eighteen forgets the trend. You're
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: the trend, and finally we need that because if it
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: isn't completely in a hundred percent about you, isn't going
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: to be authentic, and it's going to be very difficult
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: for you to sushame. And I understand that so well
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: because I've had a personal journey. I've lost thirty pounds
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: ten times in my life, and I know that every
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: single time that I did. I was working out to
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: James fond of Tejan now that area era, I love her.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: I love the eighties. I'm gonna talk about that next break.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Tell you right now the vine. I love the great vibe.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing I mean, there's a disconnection from
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: the thing is is trying failing, trying failing, right, that's
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: the that's the pattern and the cycle of the yo
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: yo dieter. And anyone knows the pain that comes on that.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: How many times have we said I'm gonna start mondation right,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: But if we're keeping it real is that that is
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: never gonna last. And that builds a complete disconnection to
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: who we are because now we forgot what's really important
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: to us, because we're identified with you know, being a
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: chronic dieter or thinking that we're a failure, when the
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: truth is that's the complete opposite that trying and failing.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Trying and sailing for most of us is showing that
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: we've got resiliency and we need to learn how to
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: use our inside strength to work for our that self.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: And that's what every chapter in the book is. It
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: it's dedicated to making you um see your values because
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: the truth is, you've got to value yourself because it's
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: really hard to change something that you don't value. That's important.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with Christine. She's the author of
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: a book that I'm gonna buy called The Right Fit Formula,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: and it's the book about let me just read this,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: a little lying about it said, and this highly relatable
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: and easy to follow guy. Christine shows you how to
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: achieve your version of personal success, which you were just
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: talking about having a battle for years with the endless dieting,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: which you and I both just mentioned about all these little, crazy,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: gimmicky diets that we drop on. Christine has created a
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: unique and individualized weight loss transformation system for people, for
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: people exactly like you, which is me and anyone else
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: who's listening, who have no time, tons of stress, and
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: a constant battle with the mirror and the scale. Wow,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: and it's everybody listening right now, because you know I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: got that angle though, Christine, I got that angle where
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I look good though. You know I got that. But
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: if I could just walk down the street like that,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: people think I'm weird, but I look good from the side, y'all,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: I look good, but I can't hold that pose you know,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: my knees kind of being at a certain angle, and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: I've been back. I got my arms that admit I'm
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: sexy right there. I'm sexy right there, big time looking good.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: That's right. Everybody got that pot, everybody got that pose.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: But you're talking about not posing, just really living a
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: normal life and being able to win with it. That's
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. That's right. I'm tired of people
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: having to hide. I'm tired of us having to all
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: wear black clothes. You know how many times someone asked
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: me in my life time if I was pregnant just
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: because I had a couple of extra pounds on me. Mistake,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: made the mistake, the please don't make that mistake of
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: a message to all men. Never asked a woman if
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: she is pregnant with my She looked at me, didn't
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: speak to me for several days, call me stupid by
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: four or five times, and I was ground felt. I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: was probably the quietest did I ever had my life
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: with my wife. She was doing all the talking. She's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: doing all the talking. I wanted to get. I wanted
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: a plan that was a keep it real plan, And
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: right now there is so much diet confusion out there,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: wus time. Did you know that there's over diet books
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: released a year and guess what, America is still failing.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: And it's not for a lack of diet information out there. God,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: we've got enough diet plan for the next twenty years.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: The problem is that it's we're missing the most important ingredient,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: which is you. It's got to be completely about you
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: otherwise it's not going to work. And that's the approach
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about here. Well, I'm on the phone. We're
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: gonna come right back in a couple of minutes, uh,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: with a break, because I I want to talk about
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: your nutrition. I want to talk about you an entrepreneur.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about your clothing line, and more importantly,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: just you in general, because your energy is so fantastic
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: and I know that to keep it there is a
• 1:03:13

  Speaker 1: conversation cool. I'm back, Roshan mcdonne. I'm back to talk
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: to my good friend. She's calling from Los Angeles. She's
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: promoting the book and other things called The Right Fit Formula,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: and on the cover, like I told her, she's jumping
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: up and down with a cupcake in her hand. That
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: inspired me to say, this is the book for me
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: to read about weight loss. But more importantly, it's a
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: book about you know your life, where you're going, you
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: know what works for you, and not so much as
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: throwing an idea and you're supposed to run with it.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: But anytime you have a person who puts out these books,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: let me just tell you a little bit more background
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: about it about her so we can just get in
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: detail on this break about it. She's a behavioral change
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: specialist with an emphasis on everyday health. As a naturally
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: certified nutrition and mindfulness educator, She's a regular contributor to
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: the national media, including to Theday Show which we all watch,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Extra TV which we all watch, Steve Harvey, What y'all Know,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: I Know, Inside Edition, ABC News, and CBS News. She
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: lives happily with her husband and her adorable boxer Lily
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: and Los Angeles, and is the creator of what A
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Feeling Active Where, which is an eighties inspired custom. At
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: at Least your Brain If you called at least your
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: brain is a word you made up there, It's okay,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: cool now now, because I wanted I want everybody to
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: know that, because you know, when you write these books,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: some people don't have the resume to write a book
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: and because they can get popular and then people put
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: their name on the book. And that's what you were
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: talking about. A lot of people out there right, Celebrities
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: write these books and all these things, and they're not
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: tied to an expert that will give any credibility that
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: they just said, I lost the weight, and then you
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: can lost the way through. You can lose the weight
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: to saying well, I lost the weight. But you're trying
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: to talk about consistency, talking about lifestyle. You're talking about
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: long term care. You're talking about a five week program
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: or one week program. You're talking about a lifestyle change. Correct,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: that's right. This is a health and this is a
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: retirement plan for your health and well being, because that's it.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: And nobody knows that better than I do. Because not
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: only am I writing about this, and not only do
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: I do this for her career for the last sixteen years,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: and I've lived this journey myself. I know the pain,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: I know the struggle, I know the obstacles, but then
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I also know the tool. No, I love your energy.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: I love your energy. I can tell you that TV,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: because you know when you do TV, you gotta keep
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: that level of energy up at a certain time because otherwise, Lord,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: it won't bring you back. Boy, she was for for
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: athletic person. She wasn't really energetic. Now, I ainbody gonna
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: lose weight whenever, So let's talk about this athletic I
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: know they won't. They won't, and I appreciate that. That's
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: why you will be. I'm a fan of you, and
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: you will be back on my show anytime you reach
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: out my book coming out. Can you post this on
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: your social media? Hey, yeah, you're my girl. We're gonna
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: get this role a little money making conversation. So here's
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: the deal. Um there activewear, because I'm gonna be honest
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: with you. Are in the eighties, I was a fitness instructor,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: all right. I was a fitness instructor. I wore the
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: leg waggy leg warmers. I had to type. I'm gonna
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: tell you something. If anybody remember the movie Perfect, I
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: looked just like John Travolta. I had I had the
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: little I had spand Dex whatever whatever the legs on.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: I had my little my little tank top on. I
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: had my head band around my throw. Girl, you couldn't
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: say nothing to me. That didn't say that boy was hot.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: He was hot. But here's the funny think about those
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: classes that at the beginning of each month, that first
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: week packed packed. You couldn't even you couldn't even stand
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: in the room next to the body was so packed,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying That the second week, oh,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: they started dropping off. By that fourth week, if you
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: started with fifty, you had by ten people left. And
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about because they came in, you know,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: it didn't fit their schedule or lifestyle change, or or
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: they realized that I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: this all in. This is not something I want to do.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: This is a lot harder than I thought. And you're
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: talking about Rashwan not saying that that what I was
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: doing was a gimmick, but it wasn't for everybody. And
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: that's what the right Fit formula is all about. Guinea
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: people in a weight lost lifestyle that fits them on
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: a daily basis. That's exactly an alignment to who they are.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: Dr Phil and Oprah would never be in the same
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: workout class ever. Open would be high fiving pointing out
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: something good about people, and Dr Phil will be like
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me to do what wearing down his mustache,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: you know, Steve, Steve, he'll work out, but he won't
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: do it on TV. He's gonna keep that suit on,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: you know, keep that suit on. He ain't gonna figure out.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: He would never take that suit. He get down to
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: a vest. That's about as close as he's gonna get
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: to work it out. And when you do, and when
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: you look at this book, just let's talk about these
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: eighties fashionist active where so we can get a visual
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: on exactly, and also the website that we can go
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: and actually look and make purchases. Because you got me,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: because every time I tell my wife, you know, I was,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: you know, when we were dating, when I was doing
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: the the fitness classes and everything. So she laughs at
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: me whenever I bring it up, you know, and when
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: I when I said grape fine, she knows I know
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. When I said great, great Christine,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, you know, yeah, I'm doing it right now.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: Did you know the Grapevine that was the ultimate fitness Steff,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: that was the ultimate fitness staff Now you know you
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: did the Running Man? Come on now, come on now,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: the Butterfly. You now talk about talk about the fitness,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: the fitness. Look, what do you have to offer? How
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: many options? And all those good things good? You know,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: for me, the whole the whole concept of what a feeling.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: It's the tie into the eighties, okay, and nothing to
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: me is better than that, um Er and I and
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: and I had been trying to find um clothes that
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: fit me forever and and like I talked about either
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I looked like Betty Boop it was too small or
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: big like Pope Francis, you know. And I was spending
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: so much money, time effort because a lot of this
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: athletic were they made for really tall people. They forget
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: about the five three people. Um And so I decided,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to make a brand that made
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: every woman feel good in her body and in her clothes.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: And so that's why I wanted to blend what I
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: felt was so important, which is a total eighties chick
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: like off the shoulder cheese body called Hello Bendy Lacker spirit.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: And I wanted it to be colorful because too many
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: women are we're hiding our bodies, because we're ashamed of
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: our bodies, because we have as a couple of extra
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: pounds and this is the time no more two thousand
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: and eighteen, no more. So this is a a blend
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: of all of that keeps up you know, sexiness, blastmans
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: alive with some modern minds hot colors to make you
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: sheep today. And I also wanted to make it affordable,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to make it a mix and match
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: palette so you could have these pieces from years to come.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: So if you go onto my website, Christine Lucida dot com,
• 1:12:56

• 1:13:06

• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: love these pieces. And the whole greatest thing about my
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: weather feeling athletic wear is not only is it meant
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: to look at and feel good roch, but the truth
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: is I want to do good in the world, and

• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: going on when you look at what's happening in television
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: right now. We got about nine or ten great black

• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: dominating the box office. And what what this shows, it's
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: just the power of the black image, man. So you know,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: for you, throughout our history, particularly entertainment, the institution has
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: been suppressed in the black image, give you one dimensional
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: images what they think black life is supposed to be.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: And now, for the first time, really in my professional life,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: we have we have the full range of black people,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: black black experience on various screens, big and small. And
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: it's a wonderful time, brother. And and let's Black Panther Magestion.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: You have never seen a movie of this magnitude with
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: black kings and queens and black empowerment and black people
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: doing supernaturalistic scenes. And it's wonderful, man. So we just
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: gotta keep this going, and we will. We will because
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: you've been, because you've been champion this, you know, And
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to That's why I said, I
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: couldn't have picked up better time to interview you because
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: of the fact that this is what you've been championing.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: I've been big time sponsors coming to your Aca Poco
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: Film Festival and now in Miami, you've been, You've been,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: this has been your thing, time, your your engagements together.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: You know what what what is the growth of the
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: American Black Film Festival. Well, this is the twenty second years,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: as you know, and uh, you know, we started, like
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: you just said, back in ac Poco, Mexico and there
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: was nine d of us. I just saw Kenny Edmonds
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in l a and he
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: was like what year was because he was at the
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: very first year and what it was that I said,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: it was nine twenty two years ago. You know. There
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: there are people at the festival now that weren't born
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: when we started. But but it's just a testament to
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: the black community. I mean, we always talk about, you know,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: what we don't do right as a community. We don't
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: support each other, We don't you know. We don't economic
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: we don't support black business, we don't support each other's work,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: we don't encourage each other. But you know, I will
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: say for me personally, it's been a labor love because
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: we've been able to show the world that black people
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: do support each other. Yes, we could listen. You wouldn't believe, Chelle.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: People asked me, why do you need a Black film festival?
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: So now I just say Ryan Coogler, they said, they
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: said to hup. You know. So bottom line is, we've
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: been doing this a long time and twenty two years.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: It's a long this that's two decades of this man.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: And it only works. It only works because people care
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: about it, you know, celebrities and and and in the
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: in the movie going community around the country. I mean, now,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: we started ninety people in ven Now we have nine
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: thousand people who come to congratulationship gulationship like this. This
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: is a community effort. We're gonna share the credit. And
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you something because
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: you know, because I know it's been a journey. Because
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: you know, when when I was producing and created the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: Neighborhood Awards, you know, you had to have celebrities, and
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: that was a period man where you know, it was nothing.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: But you know, the blacks that were on TV were
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: reality show stars, you know, and they were not putting
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: forth the best image, you know, fighting throwing glasses at
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: each other. And I had a part time booking the
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Neighborhood Awards because I had sponsors, and so sponsors not
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: gonna want to be tied to somebody who's acting to
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: food on TV. And so when I see what's happening now,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and that kind of I think he kind
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: of started with Blackish, you know a little bit, and
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: then you know, and now the momentum is like just
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: gotten out there and there's such a pause of the way.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: But I love the fact that when I look at
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: the name was sa Ray, who's the star of Insecure?
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: When I look at the names like Pete Chapman and
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: then of course Ryan Coogler, will you just mentioned. I
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: love the fact that I was just talking to a
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: friend of mine last night, the fact that he did
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: Creed and Michael B. Jordan's was the star of Creed
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: and he carried him over the Black Panther. But before that,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: before that, it did Fruit Fell Station, oh yeah, I
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: know from was the Star, that from you and and
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: and that's how and that's how it's been working in
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: the in the in the in the industry. You know,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: they get opportunity, they work with us, you know, Steven
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Spielberg and he carries him to the next movie and
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: they and they work. Any who we're honoring next week
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: has done it. She did a whole season of Queen
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: Sugar with Black with women as director. Because the other
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: issue we have in our business is, you know, kind
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: of like the marginalization of the work of women, you know,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: just like they do of African Americans and Matinos. So
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: there's some serious you know, it takes about It takes
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: people with a vision, and it takes people who are
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: game changes and people who think beyond themselves. And that's
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: all of this is. And when you said Steven Spielberg, yes,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: they do do it, and and and they proudly do it.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: And I and I so I congratulate them because they
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: bring each other to the party. And what we've done
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: historically is we get in the party and get so
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: glad that we're there, we forget about, you know, like
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: you go to you go to a club and they
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: let you in and you forget about your boys outside.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: But that's about you know, so metaphorically Hollywood the club.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: And when we get in the club, we gotta go
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: back to the door and say, yo, I'm not going
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: into my boy can't coming. And that's what people like
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: like Able Duven they have done, and that's what you
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: know Ryan's done, because it's not just about Michael B.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: Jordan on on the front of in front of It's
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: about the cruise they hired. Because when you look at
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: a movie, it might be three hundred people who get
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: a check to get paid the work on the movie,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: only ken only ten are in front of the camera.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: What about the two ninety people who you don't know,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: who have families, who have families too. That's amazing, that's
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: amazing that you gotta think about the This isn't this
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: isn't a business for fund This is about money. There's
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: some heavy economics around entertainment. And if you're going to
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: be at the forefront of this fight, you gotta bring.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: You gotta go back to the front door, and you
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: gotta let your boys, you know, or go open the
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: back door, let them and whatever joy you go to,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: you gotta let someone you got gotta let your people
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: participate in be a part of this. If you got
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: two events coming up here, you got two events coming up.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: One is February that's in Los Angeles, and you have
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: the other one your Your Film Festival, which is June
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: thirteenth through thee in Miami. Tell us about the first
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: the Honors award for a b f F Honors on February.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: So Honors is like, um, it's a celebration of people
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: who are already kind of made it, you know, hoss,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Like our Golden Globes, you have it every February doing
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Black History Month. This year we're honoring Abra duven A,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: Billy d Williams, Amari Hartrid from Power, and Tiffany Haddish
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: uh and also the show Martin. We have we have
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: a Classic Television Show Award that we're given to the
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: show Martin Launge a T shirt to Cheating and Note
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: and that whole crew. So that's kind of like a
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: black Golden Globes. And that's to celebrate people that are
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: already working. Then the festival, which is nearly due to
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: My Heart, is where it all began. I think the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: festival is in June in Miami, June thirte to the seventieth.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: That this is the one We need everybody to come
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: down because the festival is where people like Will Packer,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: who produced Girls, Trip and Ride Along and probably I
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: think his total box office grows now it's about eight
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars. Now, that's where he got his start.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: And that's where Ryan Coogler and Lisa Ray and all
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: the people that you know and you'd love to do,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where they started, you know. There there.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: It's got to be an entry point. And what we
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: tried to do for twenty two years is provide an
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: entry point for talented black people to work and succeed
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And it's working. And it only works that
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: people come nine thousand, the best nine thousand people you
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: ever want. You know, I'm telling you it's it's a
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: love fest. It's black people are beautiful, they're positive. Everybody's working,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: and everybody's not in entertainment. I would say one really
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: important thing, you don't have to be black to come,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: and you don't have to be an entertainment to come.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: It is a multi cultural crowd and everybody is not
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: an actor about half the people might be in the
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: other half of the people are teachers and doctors and
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: lawyers and priss assists and all types of things, you know,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: And so it's just a great it's a great experience,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: and we keep getting bigger, and I just want to
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: encourage everybody to really come down because that's where this
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: whole face starts out in Miami. And you, well, my man,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: you you send me some banners. I'm promoted for you.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get you on the show to get
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: this out here, man, And I'm a fan. Just the
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: first time we've ever actually talked person to person. We've
• 1:28:47

• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: So send those banners to me and let's pack the places.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want to give a stat about when you
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: said the diversity of the attendance Black Panthers audience break
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: down was black. They're just seven percent white, eighteen percent Latino,
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: five percent Asian. That lets you know that when you
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: go to the American Black Film Festival, it's gonna be
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: the same level diversity. Have a good time. Thank you

• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: learned that I got success on the stage, I got
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: success in theaters, I got success in music. I can
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: success and acting, but I can generate revenue and opportunities
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: with my brand. And that's what foreshow entertainment is about, right.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it is the opportunity man to um do
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: that UM with the primary agenda of just keeping the
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: conversation of God and hope within the culture and to
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: be able to see that compassion and commerce can coexist.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm very grateful for that opportunity here, man, Thank you,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: and it's good to hear your voice again. Bro. Well
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: you know I hear your voice all the time. Kurt.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying because I I you just
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: You're just special. Man, I got I got a complimented. Uh.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: When I've had down days, your music have made me
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: uplifted me. And that's not just me. Hundreds and thousands
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: and millions of people around this world have been uplifted
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: by your music. And when I just gotta say, when you,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: when you when you hear something like that, does it
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: put pressure on you? Oh? You just makes you feel
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: good and let you know God has put you in
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: the right direction with your life. Very humbling. And then
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: at times if you don't have the right lens on
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: that day, because you know, when you wake up every morning,
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: you may not always have the right lands on, and
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: so that maybe days when you have the wrong lean
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: zone and you can't feel pressure because you've got yourself
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: land zone. You know, it's it's very um consume with
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: you and thinking that you're the one that got you here,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: realizing that you know, it's more about you're being used
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: by God to make an impact on culture and in
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: people's lives. And so man, as I think the lords
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: of that opportunity. Man, You've always feel to me been
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: a leader in music, you know, be the leader. And
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: also I have a young voice, you know, we have
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: a generation out there. They call it the millennial generation,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: the entrepreneurship generation. Uh. When you when you speak of
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: the word of God Jesus Christ, you think of trying
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: to get that word and get it understood to the asses.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: Do you find that there's a different level of music
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: tune in to the younger generation? Just it works. The
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: Kurt Franking years ago is still working today for everybody,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: you knows. I just really try to make sure that
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: my goal is authenticity. I think that awest that that
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: when the goal is authenticity, who is supposed to speak
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: to that it will find this place to that. I
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: think that sometimes you can try to start chasing certain demographics,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: and when you start to do that, I think that
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: you begin to fail and you begin to lose your
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: own authenticity. Books. I think that that one things that
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: millennials or any generation probably responds to more than anything else.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: It's just authenticity, and whatever that is, you'll be able
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: to develop a very core audience that will be a
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: very loyal audience. And so no matter what's happening sonically
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: with the conversation of music or or anything, when it
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: comes to the arts and pop culture, that's all about
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: what is your message? Who who are you specifically trying
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: to reach and and and when you do that, you
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: can be able to build a brand in the community
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: that will be able to follow you and to be
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: able to trust you with their that money, the time
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: and the money. That's the key, trusting you with their money,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: because we know it's hard earned. Now you have a
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: unique partnership with Live Nation. Tell us a little bit
