• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm very flattered, but I'm also very honored to be
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on with you and thank you for inviting me, Well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: thank you for coming on the show. Because I have
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a twenty three yeard daughter and and i've and so
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I raised her in the Nancy Grays era. Okay, watching
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you taking that advice, you know what I'm saying, And
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: my wife always say, well, I said, look, look, we're
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not gonna do it in the nasy aggressive We shouldn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: do that. And so when I when I got to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this book, it was kind of like a journey down
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: memory lane for me and watching your career because you've
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: always been open, You've always been honest about your passion
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for making sure we don't make the mistake or even
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the mistake that you have made, because you've told us
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you've made mistakes and people around you have made mistake.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: What was the what was the core reason for writing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: this particular book? You know, um, that's a really good question.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Because I want to change the world.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I want to make a difference. And yes, uh, trying
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to find missing people, especially children, trying to solve unsolved homicides,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out cold cases. I guess that does
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: make a difference. But you know what, I was used
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to getting immediate gratification, when I tried cases, I would work, work, work,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just beat the streets to get all the witnesses, all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the information, all the evidence, like good, take it to jury,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and by the end of the trial, be it three
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: days or three weeks or three months, I'd have an answer, right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: m Not so when you're on TV, not so when
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you're on radio, not so when you're writing articles for
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your website. You never really know if you have an impact.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do more. Therefore, I wanted to take
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all those years of investigating, all those years of covering
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: cases and try to make a difference. And that's what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I did with the book. And you really did. You
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: really did, and a sad part because you documented the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: book with actual stories. And the reason I like that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is because a lot of people you give people advice
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and they kind of blow you off. I'm just not
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: saying you, I'm just sending you in general, you can
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: hold up before you blow me off. And reading this book,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: here's a true story and this is what happened to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: these people. And I think that was really key strategy
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and putting together in this book. Correct, Oh, it really is. Here.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Um, you know, I don't know if
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you noticed this, But did you notice that christ always
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: talked in parable? You know why because I can understand them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Even me, I get it. I may not understand what
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you were saying, but if it weren't for those parable
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But I would try to explain the law to a jury,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I would use examples. For instance, when I would explain
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: circumstantial events, I would say, you go in your office building.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Its building. It's bright and bright and shiny outside. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: by the end of the day, by the time you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: come out of your building, you see women rushing by,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: hugging their rain comes to their chest. You see people
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: running by with umbrellas. You notice pools of water on
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the sidewalk. You don't have to see the storm to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: know that it rained. That's a circumstantial evidence. Okay, So
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: when I started writing the book, I thought, how can
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I explain and help people based on what I've learned
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: through all the cases I prosecuted, all the cases I've covered.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The only way is to give an example. You really
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and they were really good about. The sad part about
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it is that this is just a few of many
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: stories you could have put in the book. That's the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: really tragic part. About this is that this was not
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: like a rare These are not rare stories. These are
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: stories that you chose that you can you can you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: can consolidate, get to the beginning, middle of and real fast.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But there's so many stories out there that could have
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: filled these pages, and there's a wonderful read. I'm talking
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to Nancy Gracie's on the show talking about her new book,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Fantastic Book. It officially comes out September twenty second, but
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you can buy the book early. That's what we're doing
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the show. We promote early. Go out there and pre
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: purchased the book. So when could be number one? I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: have a book number one on number one for New
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: York Times bestseller, Don't Be a Victim fighting Back against
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: America's Crime wavers in book Don't Be a Victim Fighting
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Back against America's Crime Wave, Here's something I want to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: tell you something else. Well, I want to tell you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: something else, something funny and something calling it When you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: were saying all this is based on so many true stories,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and that there were so many more I could have
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: put in there, this is this is a funny anecdote.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: When I was writing the book, I remember all those
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: nights in the dark studio, I would say so and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: so's missing. We're on the lookout for let me just
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: say a blue hunt day. We're all lookout for of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: white many evans. I had so many examples writing this
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: book that they finally said, hey, you've got you've got
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: too many examples. We're gonna have to call it back.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna have to do volume two. So
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I actually had to cut out examples because there were
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: so many examples, and also a real reason I want
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and hope people do pre order the book because not
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: only is it a testament for people like your twenty
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: three year old daughter about how to live prey, but say,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I don't like rules put on me, but I want
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: my daughter to be safe too. But I'm donating money
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to help find missing children out of the proceeds of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this book, and I just want that out there. Well
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it was now might help promote that because of the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: fact that because like when I said in your intro,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you're a true crime fighter, and this book is about
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's about this. Like to me, I'm just saying that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: this just use the word bible of information that you give.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: There's not you go from cruise ships to r vs,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: two hotels, to schools, to two jobs, to get on
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the elevator. It was just it was just a voluble information, going, Wow,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: she's gonna cover this too, She's gonna cover this too.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But I want to just lighten up the story a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: little before we get deeper by you have twins and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: then reading this book John David. John David is gonna
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: give you a heart attack. He's gonna give your heart
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That started in the drug store when he went into
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the toy section, and then he was Nicholas of all
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the online predator, and then on the cream ship when
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he left and he was running. I dragged a Littlelucy
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: round that cruise shift trying to find that boy. That
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: boy is going to be the death of you, Nancy
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: greg I'm always dragging Lucy frying to find John David.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But yet I telled John David, I'm gonna say, you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: put that on my grape. Where's Lucy. I'm always saying
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: where's Lucy? But John David is really the one, at
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: least on all these wild juice shases. And yes, I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: used them, and honey, I watched them like a hawk.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I try not to let them know, I'm like, hey, mom,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is that a Nannicount. I'm like no, Yeah. I'd laughed
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: so hard because because I was like, that's me, that's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: me with my your daughter. My wife would say, you're
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just so paradox because you know, the interesting thing about it,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Nancwer is that see, we are in the media. You know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I'm in the medi just like you, but not this detail.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Because you're in the crime fighting. You get information I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: don't get. But we're still aware and that awareness can
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna use the word parent and paranoid, but
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it does make us aware that, okay, that could actually happen,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and so we see things differently. We approached bully situation
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, a little bit more aggressive. If
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we see it happening, We're just not gonna let this
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: play out. We're gonna nip this in the bud right now.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And you talk about that in the book, and so
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it's really important with it when you when I when
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I promote the people to buy this book because like
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I said, it's a safety safety book. I'm gonna buy
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: this book and have my twenty three yeard daughter read
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it because it's not just about school aged kids. It's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: about life, going to the malls, walking in the parks,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: going to stand in hotels, going on results cruise ships,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: all this information. How did you, first of all, this
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: is a TV show, by the way, how did you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: managed to pull all this information together not losing your mind?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Nancy Well somewhat argue I have lost my mind, But
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I always say I'm not paranoid that people are trying
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to hurt my children. They are they are, and they're
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: not tarting just my children. They're targeting any child. And
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: here's the kicker. By the time someone is caught and apprehended,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the child lost station, they have molested literally hundreds of times.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: That's how prevalent it is. And these people, it's not
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: some prov at the edge of the park and a raincoat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It's people that you come in contact with at your church,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: at your Scout too. But here and there, how I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: need to When my twins got into Scouts, you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I had to become a volunteer and go and camp
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: with them at Scout camp to make sure nothing happened.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to report that the Scouts are some of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the greatest people I've ever met. And maybe next year
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I'll let them go without mommy camping and it's hint
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: twenty feet away. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: but I did it, and not only that, I made
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: my husband, who's to work on all it like you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: take off work for a week and also dough. So yes,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it may sound paranoid to some people, but like you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and me, we read it every day and I react
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and I don't want these things to happen to other people.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: How many times have I left a victims home because
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't just meet him at the courthouse.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I want to go to their home. I want to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: see who they live. I want to sit down and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: talk to them. I want to look at the baby
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: photo albums. I want to know it all. And I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: walk out of that home and I feel the weight
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of the world on me, trying to figure out how
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: can I help this family. All I could do then
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: was to get a true verdict in court, to give
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: them some sense of justice. But now with this book,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: maybe I can't present them from ever being a victims.
• 12:53

• 15:20
  Speaker 1: write it myself and I don't have a ghostwriter. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: write it um. Then after I did that, I started
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: audio recording and I did my own audio recording of
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: it too. Then COVID broke out. COVID broke out, the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: book had already gone to publishers, and I thought, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: want this out now. I can't wait for the book
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to come out in September. COVID's happening now. So I
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: got busy. I rewrote another about a thirty page chapter,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: very detailed about COVID crimes. So not only are people
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: fighting for their lives, losing their jobs, worrying about their families,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: who's gonna catch COVID their children? Then I gonna send
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: them back to school? What's gonna happen? I only have
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to worry about that. You have to worry about COVID crimes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: People taking advantage of other people during the COVID pandemic,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: which I think is the worst of the worst. It
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: really is. And I because, like I said, I'm out
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: there on the media. They asked me for my advice,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and I talked about the pandemic. And it's really sad
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: when we have what's happening right now with checks to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: maybe ending this week until the Congress is size to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: uh do stimulus package too. But the details of this book,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: of this downloadable chapter are incredible. You talk about door
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to door coronavirus, text fraud stores, You mentioned Jim Baker
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: paral pirates while Robo called for coronavirus. Because we don't know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: we don't know, you know, there's no cure. I was
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: talking to my wife. I was saying, I will tell
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: us that there really isn't a cure. So when people
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: go in the hospital, you know, they're really like just
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: trying to sustain himself and survive the process because technically
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: they isn't a vaccine or a like some like Nike
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: wail you can give somebody if they got the cold
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of the flu. They have nothing like that. And so
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this book is kind of like, to me, the night
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: will for us to avoid issues out there when it
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: comes to coronavirus crime. Now that door to door, the frodsters.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: There was some things in here that that just really
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: blew me away. The perel pirates, can you go in
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: detail about that? Oh, my stars, the purell pirates what
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they did and they're more like them. There was a
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: big run on purel face maths, of course, paper towels
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and toilet papers that I can't address that they did
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: not teach toilet paper in law school. But I can
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: tell you this much. These guys and others like them
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: would go buy up all the purele at all the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: dollars and dollar generals, grocery stores hoarded, and then sell
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: it for hundreds of dollars. And you also have to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: watch out for fake purel purell that doesn't me the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: right standards to do any good. Then you've got actually
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: toxic purel is happening now, it's it's not pureal. That's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a name brand that's toxic. Hand sanitizer. Purell is not toxic.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: But all types of scams are happening. Now. Looks like Correl,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you know, it kind of looks like lysol, but he's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: not got the color stone. You know, all the schemes
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: are close, but it's not. It just enough to make
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: total sakery. Total fakery. And another thing that really got
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: off with me is when Jim Baker had that effort
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: on his show. And you know, it's bad enough, but
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: when you profess to be a man of God and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: people believe in you and people listen to you, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: then you put out there some cure, some fake cure. Yeah,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the state governments are on him now. That had to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: be stopped. And there's so many fake cures out there
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and people are by I yet. Number one, it could
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: be a health risk, a serious health risk of the the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Number two, you lose your money. Number three, it's not
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a cure for COVID. That's incredible. Um. I have if
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you don't mind, I have a fan newsletter goes out
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday to ninety four thousand fans and growing. I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: like to put this linking in which we go back
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to your website so they can find this. I like
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to put it on. My website is of a million.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Another website, my Facebook is of a million social media
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: followers I have. I can't believe it's nighty percent of
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: my followers are female, and so I'd love to get
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: this information about covert COVID and eighteen to them. But
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I know again, this is just part of your brand,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: but I want to let you know this. I'm doing
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my part to get the word out and that's why
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I brought you on the show. Do you know when
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you said that, it actually made me cheer up. I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: can't go win and try a serial killer, go to autopsies,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: crime scenes, you name, you name. It never shed a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: tear when somebody does something kind. It almost always brings
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: me to t years. Are really appreciate that. Well, thank you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm a fan of you. And because
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I know you see that. The people don't understand this
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: because there's so much weight that's carried on your shoulders
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that people sometimes expect miracles. Sometimes
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: people come to you hoping that you can find their
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: child and find or solve a crime that's a cold crime,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and that's a lot of way because guess what, you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: can only do so much. And but that means you
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: wake up the next day feeling any better because you
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: could you did resource of it, or you didn't solve it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: But that's what this book is about, is this book
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that you have. Don't be a victim. You know you
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: have it. It's broken down into parts like how do
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I protect my child, which which we knew was gonna
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: be in there. Then it goes to protecting yourself. That
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: part right, there was a phenomenal section for me. That's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: part two, and then part three travel safe, don't be
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a statistic, and then the part five protecting our Elderly.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Of all these watching the book, what was the most
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: most emotionally charged for you? I know you have the twins,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so I'm sure that you know protecting your child had
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a personal calling for you. But when I saw that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: protecting our elderly at the end, that kind of like
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: made me sit up in my chair, going wow, I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: never even thought about this. Talk to me, Nancy, Well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something in addition to the twins now,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: because my father went to heaven, he was my soul mate.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Don't tell my husband. My mom has been living with
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: us and she is certainly a handful um. But I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: think about her as you know, fight you somebody can
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: be at eighty nine years old. She is, but I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: think of someone trying to take advantage of her or
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: hurt her or scam her. And it's happened. She has
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: been scammed online and it just you know how low
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Can you go to attack or scam a little low lady,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a little low man. I mean, how could you? But
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: people they're like, um, you know in the jungle, they
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: see the weakest person, a child, with the elderly, or
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: that's who they target. So that's how that got intybody
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: gotta cay something. What really gets to me? What? What
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: was the most poignant part of the book was I'm
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: a crime victim. My fiance was martyred shortly before our
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: wedding and it changed my life. His life ended and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: my world exploded. But little known it took me over
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: twenty years after Keith's murder to try again, and I
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: married David. But then when I had the twins, it
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: was like my life changed again and I finally really
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: felt like I could rust something, and if anything ever
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: happened to them, I really don't think I could stand it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And other mothers and fathers feel the same way. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: when I write each one of these stories, I can't
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: help it. I think about them, and that is what
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I would this book. Even writing it got me so upset.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I remembered all these parents, all these families, all these victims,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: families that I would talk to over the course of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: this time, and it really really brought my heart. But
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I know it's a story that has to be told.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You know, here's the fifth of stat that came out
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of me. You know, you you know the thing about
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: this book is it has it filled with so many stats,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: so many pointed stories, so many relatible information. I'm just
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: going to share some of the things. But she comes
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: out of the very top in the chapter how Do
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I Protect My Child? Nearly child kidnappings are related to schools,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: bus stops, and school routes. That number scared me because
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the reason to scared me because the fact that when
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: you when your childhood school, you feel your childhoo school uh,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: your child going to the bus stop. You could have
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: walked your child to the bus stop. I've been I've
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: been there to walk to your child from the bus stop.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And seeing your child goes to on a school route
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the same thing. So these things right here the frustrating
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: part of about it. They can leave a parent if
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: they become a victim into a long series of what
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: ilse And that's the tragic part about these timelines. Correct, Oh,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: it really is. Can I tell you how up into
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the twins school I am. I take them, I take
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: them up, uh drive through there at different times of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the day throughout the week, and I'm out in the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: car and about Oh yes, I am all up in it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I know exactly where their classes are, which window goes
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: to them, the works. I know it may sound a
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: little bit overboard to a lot of people, but after
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: doing what I do from my whole legal career, it's
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the least like dude to try to keep tabs on
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: them and keep them safe. Well, you know, I wanted
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: just that's why I wanted to bring the book into
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the frame. It's because you said, doing what you do
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: this book because you know, this book is about every
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: for everybody, every regular, every parent or anybody who's not
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: a parent, If you live in a teenage life, who
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: going to college, if you you're a young person who's
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: about to start their professional life, this book has a
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: section in it that you should read. That's how important
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: this book is. And more importantly about this book is
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that she shines a light on don't create conference zone
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: for yourself. Or you feel it's all right, you can
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: drop your guard because she mentions, you know, especially in kids,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: where attack can happen in brand name places like McDonald's,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: not like Chick fil A. Not that she's trying to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: shine a negative light on it. She's just letting you
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: know that in this world that we live in, you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: cannot be comfortable, especially with your children, especially with yourself.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Where you at a fancy high flude mall and your
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: crime it never happened over here. Well, you don't want
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to be the person that the crime happens too, because
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you decided to drop your car. That was a story
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that you resonated throughout the each page, and it came
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: across very loud and clear, and and I wanted to
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: thank you for doing that because that was important to me,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: because I said, let me, let me, let me look
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: up a couple of names, just to see if they reel.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And that read about the little girl, Nicole, the thirteen
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: year old old girl the cold and Natalie keepers the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: little track storeboard. David Eisenhower. I went, Wow, these stories
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. She was just keep keep keep,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and she had lived there so much. Statistically medically she
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: shouldn't lift. She did. And then just as she's turning
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: into a team everything's going good, she meets up with
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I believe his name was Dr Death online. Yes, the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: real named David Eisenhower. Yea. And Natalee Capers his girlfriend,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and um, she thought she the little girl thought she
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: had a boyfriend. And this was a grown man in
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: college and he did not want anyone to find out
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: about this sex relationship. So he killed a little girl.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He killed her and that's it. And then you didn't agree.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Now that's the chapter. Would you know that we talked
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: about the cyber threats with little little John David and
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Nicholas of our story where you had to follow him
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: in the room and look over his shoulder and he Mommy,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: don't be looking over my show you will this, Nancy Grace,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I mean your mom what you what you read in
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: their phone? And that's what we have to do with
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: our kids. We have to evade their privacies sometimes, Miss Grace.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what happened the other day. We're
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: all anti camping. We're all about and like my my
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: daughter Lucy, I told you she's a scout. I don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: mean the kind of go out and sell cookies. She
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: goes out in camp. She can pitch a tent, you
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: can start a fire, no works. So anyway, even now
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I'm on John David. That's what he has done. He
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: has set up his camping he has set up his
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: camping tent in his bedroom and he will get in
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: it and watch his screen from the hammock. So I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: can't see what he's watching. So long story short, I said,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: what are you watch his son? And he said some
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Japanese name. Oh, dear lord. I thought it's Japanese pornography.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Well guess what it is. It's anime, right, my daughter
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: does that. Yes, sci fi anime thriller, kind of like Marvel.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: But okay, so once again I've called him being good. Right, Well,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you know he's he's a he's a funny uh. Trail
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: through the book because of the fact that it reminds me,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: just talks about your parent, and I think that that's
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: why I'm talking about You're just an open person. You're
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: an open book. You're saying that these situations happened to me.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You may see me as being famous. You may say,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think I have a lot of money, but I
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: still have the parents. And as a parent, it's seven
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: it's seven days a week, it's twenty four hours a day,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and I don't care whether you would wealthy or you're struggling.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: You have to be focused. Now the book shifts now
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the first part one, Part two is really about your child.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Part two on got to the adult side of the book,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: which I really like. Why was it important to do
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the you know, the protecting yourself travel safe because part
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: one in part two because has been a separate book
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: by itself, Nancy, But then you say you're something. I'm
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: gonna give them a book that when they walk and talk. Anybody,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the teenager can have this book. They can lie the young,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: they can preach knowledge to the young children. And also
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: if they decided to travel as adults, they can have that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Why you decided to put it all in one book.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So many that they comes that I've represented in court
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: have been children, but I would say an equal amount
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: has been adults. And the cases I've covered, so many
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: missing women, missing team, missing college students. You know, when
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you go to college, you think you know everything. You
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: don't know anything, and so many especially girls faull pray
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: at college and the other day, Um, you know, I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: work home my Hallmark movies and they are born out
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: of character I created when I moved to New York
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: to launch a show with the late great Johnny Cochrane.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: He would go off. He was the toast of the town.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: He would go off after our show, which was at night,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and I knew nobody. I go home to my old apartment.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I was alone. I started writing this book. So a lady,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a very dear friend of mine, Liz, that I worked
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: on the Hallmark shows with son went away to college
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: while we were working on one of the one of
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the movies, and she was so worried about him. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: it was right after a young man had been forced
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to enforce ed basically booze until he died at a
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: frat party. She was so afraid for her son. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I got to thinking about John, David and Lucy going
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: away to college. I don't like thinking about it, but
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about all the things that could happen
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to them, and all the times I go running, or
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I take the twins walking with me or biking with me,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and all the cases I've covered where women were out
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: jogging or biking or leaving their dorm or people my
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: age out and about walking and jogging and how dangerous
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it is, and how many times do you pull up
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: at a red light. This is a chilling thought to me,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: because I know the stats on how many people are
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: out on part and in parole. They can't all be
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: hiding in some area of town. They are out with
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you at them all at the grocery store, in the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: parking lot, at the red light. Hey, when you don't
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: know a horse, look at his track record. You say
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: they want offend again? They will. They will offend again
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and are sitting by you at the red light. That
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: made me think about driving and what happens when you're
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: in a car, and how to stay safe, and what
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to do if you think you're being followed, what to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: do if somebody has a road rage. There's just so
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: many things to think about, and I want to address
• 32:17

  Speaker 1: got the opportunity to bring you on, you know, your
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: stand up comedian, you know what that we we we
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: we we cut our lives on that. And then the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: COVID ninteen here in March. How did that affect you?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: And how did how that affect me? We can't even
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: say effect is a fact and effect ect I'm sorry,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and I getting okay, effect, I'm getting deep in And
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: you don't want me, I don't know how deep you
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: want me to go. And here we don't go. See,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bullish compensation. It's gonna go bullets. Well,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: it affected me because if you look at Indian industry
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: that has been affected, the comedy industry has been devastated.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: There's no industry has been devastated. Here. Just think this, sir,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I was doing. I was about to do um um.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Let me see, I just did the Oakland College seem
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the just just just put a perspective. I just did
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the Oakland College sum A month before. I was just
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: about to do Vegas Residency in Vegas something. All that
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: is gone. My residency in Vegas, baby, I was I
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: was going, this is for the high rollers and is
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the greatest gig in the world because I didn't have
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to sell no tickets. It was just just for the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: high rollers of a certain casino. I was about to
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: start that residency. I was on tour with Mike Epps
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: some more, and suddenly all of it is gone, is gone,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It's not coming back. It's done. So here I am
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: in the world. Financially. I know that you've got to
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: have a diverse portfolio, but my god, who ever thought
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: of a portfolio that is, you know, adverse. So I know,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: so here I am. I don't know what to do?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I I panic the first couple of months.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I panic, that just panic. I didn't know what to do.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: And I said, okay, where do I get in? Where
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: do I fit in it? It's gonna be virtual, It's
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be a virtual situation. Uh you know what am
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I gonna do? But I mean, I've been devastated, devastated.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: So just let you know. In the in the money
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: marketing world, you have to you know, program yourself for everything.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: You never know, this is this is, this is something
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: and come about even if you have a diverse before
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: leo that may not even work. You have to rethink
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the business. So here I am. I know, I'm a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: good comedian. I'm like, what damn, what am I gonna do?
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I said, well, you know what, something's gonna come out
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: of it in any in any situation, there's a positive.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: And um, if you look at Madam C. J. Walker,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I think she made her marriag is doing the depression.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: So there was hope. So I was like, okay, where
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: where what am I gonna What's gonna happen. What am
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I gonna do? So I'm thinking virtual comedy is gonna
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: be is gonna be the thing, you know, And so
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I just got myself and I just started writing. I said, well,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I think the best comedian is gonna win. So that's
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: all I did, you know, the only thing I can do.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: And then I had to change my business. I said,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: comedy is no longer a viable business to me to
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: make money, so I gotta, I shoot, I don't know.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I started looking at everything. I even looked at marijuana production.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I said, well, how much does it cross when he
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: dudes be growing this stuff? And I called my boys
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: and said, well how much do you make on this thing?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: You know? I called everything I can do? You know?
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Was that tied to like just real talk, you know,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: like when the when the pandemic hit, you know, I
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: would tell you some man, it affected me mentally, you know,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: it affected my pocket, but affected me mentally on how
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: was that? Was it really safe to go out in
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the streets? You know? And you know, like I said,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: because I went out there with all the equipment because
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: it was in Marching, was still cold. Because I didn't
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: have a mask. I just put a ski mask on
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and uh. And then I went to home depot. I
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: had my I had my rubber gloves, I had my pierrel,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I had lights al and I had all this stuff.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: And I got back to the car. I didn't I
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: didn't know the protocol. Do I take off my gloves?
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Is my sterel wheel gonna be safe? Did it really
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: get into your head? Was I just want of those
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: people that just reacted to out of control about it? Well,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: it got into my head. But I am a you know,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I look at you know, I'm almost like a story.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: So said, this is this is this is happening, this
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: is going this is happening. And so I accepted it
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: and I stayed at home. I didn't go anywhere. I said,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: at my age, I said the thing I'm gonna do,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere. I'm just gonna stay at home.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: And it mentally, mentally it affected me. It didn't affect
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: me till later, you know, till later on. So four
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: or five months later, I'm like, man, what is going on? Man?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: This could this could endure for a month? You know.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I put my faith into the American government, the American
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: way of life that we we can fight anything. We're America.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: We have enough money to fight anything. So I said,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: this Q will be you know, eradicated. So just hanging
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: there and hanging there because America was gonna take care
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: of it. But now we have devicesness. We have political
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: side this disease. So it's political side which is and
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: which is you can't even think about it. He didn't frustrated.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: It is as frustrated and that you hear that. And
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: you know, because I try to be honest on my show,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: are allowed the interview to go where the interviews are
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go. But it is frustrating because we're in an
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: economy that's tied to unemployment is at a high rate,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: and you know, and it affects minorities are black and
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: brown people at a at a twice rate. And then
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: you have COVID ninteen that affects African American community at
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: a high rate. And then they then they tell you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: that ninety four percent of the people who have died
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: from COVID ninteen had preconditioned of pre illnesses. So it's like, okay,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you know, it puts you in a position of who
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to believe in, who to trust right exactly, and where
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: are you at on that whole trusting thing, because it
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: does impact how you move forward as a comedian, as
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: an entertainment, as a businessman. Well, I don't trust anybody
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: right now. I just trust myself. I cannot trust. I
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: just had a show I was doing. I was supposed
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: to do a show a matter of fact, Labor Day
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I had, you know, five sold out shoves.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: But then I was looking at the peak. I was
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: looking at this disease. I was like, man, I ain't
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: going I'm not going out there, and so I canceled it,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: you know, And so I I haven't worked yet. I'm
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: gonna work at the end of September. I said, I'm
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: not gonna work until November. But let me see. So
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I don't my thing? Is this what I would like.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I would like to know what my chances are. And
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: that's your government should tell you that. I just you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: should be able to say, okay, blah blah blah blah
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. But we don't know, we don't,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: we don't know. So you have to trust yourself. You
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: know who you can't, I mean you can't. I don't
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: care who you are you can't trust the government. They're
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: not telling me the truth. I mean, not telling me
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: what I need to know. I'm not trying to be political,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: but my god, I just want to know how to
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: stay safe. And that's a very simple request. But somehow
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: they'll can't get answered how to stay safe? What you
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: turned because if you felt safe for you have felt
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: safe about on that airplane, traveling to it, getting off
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: that plane, and doing five shows in front of the audience,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: that exactly, and knowing I had to call my doctor
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: for the black doctor. He's a black doctor. Emphasize that
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: because if we have more black doctors, are child instant
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: rate would probably be higher. You know, we need more
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: black doctors. And he told me, he said, man, you
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: know he said that. He said that, man, it's not
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: good to go. So I said, I'm not going. But
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: if I had some kind of guideline that I know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: you know, some kind of we don't. We don't have
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: a guideline. If right now you said you're gonna travel
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: to Louisiana, it ain't nothing that you can look on
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: and say should I go, I should not go. There's
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: no guideline. That's that's the crazy part. That scares me.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: It's really amazing because you know, stand up comedy is
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: really interesting because we kind of see everything from a
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: different perspective and just twisted put our twist off, and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that that's how and and and I'm gonna tell you, man,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: just from an outside looking at you, you've always been,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: uh a guy that I always looked back or I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: would have never thought of that choke you. You've always
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: been one of those I would have never thought of
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: that joke guy when I look at And that's and
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: that's how I write, suh. I write, I don't write.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: When I write, I write to jump down. And if
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: it sounds like everybody else I talked to out trying
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: to come from the different, I ain't gonna you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: you know, almost like an investing I would be the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: one to invest in something that somebody said, well, why
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: are you investment in that? Why are you investing in
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the straps that hold the masks together? Right? No one
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: else is doing that because no one else is doing right.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: And so so you know, and I say that, you
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: know because of the fact that you know, you know,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: But one time I felt I was one of the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: top guys out there, and I come along and I
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: see you and I still see you, and I go,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: what is what? What? What are you? What? Are you
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: looking at stuff through one curve when you're when you
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: know what? You know like that you know what? You
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you know because of the fact
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: that you know we could we could, you're not could
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: walk in the room. And uh, one of the all
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: time you probably remember one of the all time funny
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: moments I had with you when we was at Denny's restaurant, Me, you,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: George Wallace and and we are we're closed down that place.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: And I always remember how from an improvisational standpoint, you
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: are incredible, and I just it is locked in my
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: memory in Hollywood, US just JF it was Jathony Brown,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: it was you, it was me, and it was George
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Wallace and we left that myth that dinner is at
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: four two o'clock in the morning, and and and it
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: was just watching you sit over there, going, he's doing
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: stuff I could not do. I can't because you were
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: in the same dunnas. Now we're the same we all
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: even the same food, but you're looking at it through
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: a different eye. Mark Curry, Why why why are you
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: looking at it from a different eye, well, because of it.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: When I do. When I do a joke, I don't
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: write the joke. A lot of guys write the joke,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: and that's why they a lot of times they jokes
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: don't be funny because they forced the joke. But what
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I do is I researched the joke, and my material
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: is based on If you see anything I say, it's
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: based on facts and research. So for example, we're talking
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: about whatever the subject is, black people and money, Black
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: people and money. Okay, bam, you will will do the
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: joke because black people, they'll take black people. I wur
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: to realize they've been a short change black people? Come
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: back in? How much it again? When I came in
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: there had pointing right, and then I got chuck for
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: you because I hold him that and I put that money.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: How must think? How must let me go back here?
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: But got back? How much with it? Not? How much
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: with the cheeses? Let me go to a change lake?
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: The white person? No instantly, just a minute? How much
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the tacks on this? What was the three seventeen? I
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: had three of them right? That should have been a fortnite. Yeah,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I think some something's wrong here oh, okay, okay, Mark, Okay,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: that's funny though it's true. That's what I'm laughing because
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: again you've taken my engineer. He laughing too, you know,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: in the other side of the room, and he's shaking
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: his head, was laughing because you know, it's true, because
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: it's through that lens that you are are sitting there
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: and and observing and and that, like I said, in
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: that Denny's restaurant, you know, we're all were being served
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: the same food. But I'm just looking at your craze
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: behind going how did he see that? What he's running
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: through his mind? Because when I when I see something,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: I'm did leave size it up as a joke, so
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I look at it and I break it down. I'm
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: not educated, but I'm an internet guy. So if i'm
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: if I'm searching, if we talk about money, I'm gonna
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: go on the internet and and and find facts that
• 50:17

• 51:30
  Speaker 1: black people and money. The first black people with money
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: and they seen hundred and then I'll look at black institutions,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: black owned banks, so blood of the So when I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: have a prethra of all kind of material that I
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: may not use, but at least my attitude and and
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about is based on some kind of facts.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: And then I'll throw a little fact because you know,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: black people, we didn't we didn't have banks back then.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: What the hell did we do? We couldn't go to
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the back. Think about that. Black people didn't go to
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: the bank the nineteen seventy. Think about that nineteen seventy.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: And when you walk in the steel, look that you crazy,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: because they look at you crazy right now. Don't walk
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: into a belly Hills bank right now. They just get
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: you like you, Craig, can we help you? This is
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a bank and that feels that can't be healthy. So

• 52:31
  Speaker 1: you can do do you look at things kind of thing,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: nothing you can do. So you know that's what my
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: comedy I tried to be. I try to come from
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a different angle makes me Yeah, And I try to
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: be educated. I try not to be stereotypic. I try
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: not to hurt another race as we're talking about, because
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: you gotta look at people who pay their money. White
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: people pay their money, Black people, Filipino, Chinese. If I
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: went to those two in committe, don't give who it
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: is and he said something about some black people, I'm
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: just I'm done. I don't care. I'm just interested in him.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I want to go. I want to go, just like
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: that Asian person would say the same thing, just like
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: that white person. You go to a black show, and
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: black comedians make the white people oh my. But know
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: that this week, you know, even when Bush, for example,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: when Bush was in and talked about but I had
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: to find a way to talk about but but for
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: my white patrons that paid that money also so they
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Right, So your your show is always
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: encompassing and all they thought provoking. And that's really Yeah,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to talk to you about it,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: because you know, like I said, you know, this this
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: platform that I have. Now, you know, I've been blessed
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: because everybody's coming on the show and and talking allowed
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: me to just talk and in my conversation don't have
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: any agenda tie to other than a conversational about success
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and conversation about how we approach your way of being
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneur and making money. And that's what money making
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: conversation is all about. Now, you said November you're gonna
• 54:07

  Speaker 1: that's outside two days at the end of September, like
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: September twenty seven time E t s in um Danville.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna just I'm not gonna gonna go
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: up and just I don't know what I'm gonna talk
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: about because I don't I don't have I don't want
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: to talk about this corona. I just don't. I don't
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: even want talk about I don't want to hear that.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about something socially, a whole new start.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go in and get my head right
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: and come up with a whole new When I say,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: a whole new way of thinking, for example, presidency. I'm
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: gonna run for presidents then, so I want you to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: ask me what if I'm if I'm running for presidents,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: asking me the question that you would ask the president then,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: because I'm I think I'm gonna do a new special
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: on that. So right now, this is live. I'm Mark Curry.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I'm here, this is live. This is non scripted. Mark.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I hear you running for president. I'm just gonna ask
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: you right now, um um, some some people don't want
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: to wear a mask. Should we wear a mask? Mark Curry?
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Does a mask? Y, Sir? Does a mask makes a difference? Yes?
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I think a mask definitely makes a difference. If I
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: was president, everybody would wear a mask. It's just the
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: way it is. Even the dogs lose. The animals in
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: the zoo would wear a mask. Mask would be mandatory. Yes,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I got to wear a mask. I would keep people in.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I would keep people in for another year I was president.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Nobody come out for a year. One year, okay, Mr, Mr,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Mr President. Not only we wear a mask, Mr. Apologize,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: you're not president yet, but you're running for president. Don't
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: want to jump ahead. Don't want to jump ahead. Okay.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: The vaccine, the vaccine. Okay, it comes out, Will you
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: be the first in line to take it? No, I
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: would not. We will took those on death rows. We
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: will get those on death rows that have been convicted
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: of a crime. And we know that that crime. We
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: know that they did it by video. Now you know
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: in DNA, we know you did and you killed six people.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: We're about to inject you with a vaccine. Sir, and
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: when the people protest, let them protest. We want you
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: to we this is terrible. We agree. Take us the court,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: so those on death row would be the first one
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: to get the vaccine, and it would be on live video.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: You can see the reaction. What happened? So, okay, being
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: that you are maybe the second black president of the
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: United States, and we saw how this state, this country
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: was happy. Then it became angered that there was a
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: black president. How would you stop this country from becoming angry?
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Origin by you becoming the second president black president of
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: the United States. I cannot stop this country from being angry.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: America was built on anger. If you look at America,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: America has been built on anger. Where you know, so
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be angry at me. Of course they're gonna
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: be angry at me. But that's nothing I can't I
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: can't worry about that. I got things that will help healthcare.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: For example, when you go to the airport and you
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: go to the X ray, we'll use those x rays.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Why you gotta go to X rays? You go to
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the airport, We're gonna use those X rays to determine
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with you. So when we're gonna stop
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: you excuse me, what do that? You found some water?
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Now we found the tumor. Step over here place you
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: can't get on this flight? You know, I think the
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: plane should be Yeah, hospital should be at the airport.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: That's what most people are am I right in the
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: hospital at the airport. Let's be real here the homeless.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the homeless. Stoppant, stop stop you still
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: wait a minute? Last homeless. I could deal with the homeless.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Let them be extras in the movie. Let them do
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: the same thing they're doing. Walk up and don't let
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: them walk around. They can walk around in the background.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Let him get paid it back after that way they
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: got help. Wake up America. You need Mark curious President
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Mark Um, I ain't gonna lie to you, brother, fantastic.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: That was all their problems. You didn't know what you
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: didn't know what question. We didn't prepare. This is great
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: coming along and uh, I ask you, Lenna, ask you
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: something because Batley Evan's gonna be managed if I bring
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: you on this show. Don't talk about in the cut.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: And you know I know Bentley from Jamie Fox show
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I was co executive do so to the show. I
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: would tell Bentley one of the people who are made
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: my career, one of the two lunch pins in my
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: success story has been in Hollywood. Now you're in the cut.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: How did you get How did that opportunity to come
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: to you and getting into the cast like the Badley
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: Bentley called my agents. He said, Mark, I want Mark
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: him do this role. I love bent Me. I know
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Bentley well. Some of my best worker has been with
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Billy Jamie Fox as Sergeant Easy with Bentley. When I
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: was on Martin and Martin as a lawyer, that was
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: with Bentley. So Bidley knows me. He's a he's he's
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: a genius. And not only that, he's a great director
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: because he lets you go when you go on it's no,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: he's not directing you to do this and do that.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: It's basically, you know you you're an actor, and so
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Billy's an actor, actor, director, director, which is awesome. So
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: he lets you do your thing, say what you want.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: I could do anything I want. And I love the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: end the cut because it was a character. I play
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: a guy, Wade, who's just fresh out of jail. He
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: just got out of jail for twenty years. And I
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: get a job at the at the barber shop with
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Doria at the door. So this is so that's the beautiful.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: When I and I heard a character like that, I said,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I take it. And so in the character I'm in,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: I'm in character. I'm a method actor, so he doesn't
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: put shoes on. I'm the only actor who never wore
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: shoes in the scene. I wore slippers for the whole season. Okay,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: for the whole season. Now, okay, now, cutting hair and
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: jail and cutting hair out of jail, it's two different techniques. No,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: because I have a brother. He did it. He cut
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: my hair and he gripped my head and go, hey, brother,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have to hurt my head when you cut
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: my hand. Okay my hand. The jail cut is completely different.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: It really can think jail jail cut you ain't got
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: no marry and you ain't got no you don't get
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: a chance to see your hair too maybe the next day, right,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: and they gripped you hard and and they just used
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: the raise to blame. There you go, just raise the blade.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: So so you get the opportunity to come on in
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: the cut. You win a director producer who allows you
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: to be you. Now how important is that be to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: trust in your natural instinct somebody allowing them to trust you?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Because Mark, you know, it's a stand up you. You've
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: had to trust yourself all these years, you know, all
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: the way from well, one thing about Rey Badley knows
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: he knows the acting. He knows it. And so when
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: you A lot of times I go on shows, I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: don't want to say, but you know these shows I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: think I know funny, but then they think they know
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: funny to Mark, can't you just say it with h
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: more urgency place? You know? Mark? Uh say apple and
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: you say apple? He said apple. It's apple. It's just
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: one apple, thank you? Okay boy? You know, and so
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: that that that rack, it drives me crazy because I'm American.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: I think I'm funny, you know, I think you know,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: I think I know what's funny. You know, I held

• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: so you can't trust. Black people should take that word
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: trust out of their vocabulary. No black person in America

  Speaker 1: should say the word trust in any situation. No trust. No,

  Speaker 1: CEO CEO of Slutty Vegan. She's opening the conversation on
• 1:09:20

• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: in communities that have such high numbers and hypertension, cholesterol, obesity,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: and a host of other food arable food born elements.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: And Slutty Vegan, they have combined suburb taste with plant

• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: little naughty. Please work with money making conversations. My friend
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Pinky Colt, how you doing it? Big A doing very well?
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Because you know that's when people see you big. What's
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: that big guy? You are? Believe how many intros I get?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: But you know what, as long as they call it
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: my name, I'm doing something. You know. But you know
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: when you just che people say that, big guy, can
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: you get it into the front of the line, this
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: last longer? Can you move me up front? Can you
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: move me up front? Come on it all the time? Well,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: you know I've known about you. I've lived in Atlanti
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: since two thousand seven. Uh and I eat all types
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: of food. So for as a person who always look
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: at talent and always looking at trying to reach out
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: to people who are doing something unique in the community
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: when it comes to food, what allowed you to separate
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: yourself when with other restaurants. I'm not just talking about
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: vegan restaurants, just just other brands. You know, you're such
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: a competitive market. You know, Atlanta has such a strong
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: restaurant market. One has allowed you to separate. That's my
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: first question I want to ask you about vegan. Well,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: the first thing is timing right. I think often times, um,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: we really don't understand how important timing of a thing is. Right.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: So if you know anything about Uber and Lyft, there
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: were other companies that started they did the same exact
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: thing at the same exact time, um as uber and left.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: But those businesses didn't work. But the timing of Uber
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: and Lyft was so on point that it gave them
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to really survive in the market that really
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: didn't even exist at that time. So I say all
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: that to say that the time named for slutty Vegan
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't be better, right. I started my company during an
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: arrow and one people started to walk into a new
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: level of consciousness to be at least even interested and
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: wanting to eat better. That's number one right. Secondly, they said, okay,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: all right, so vegan is not a same thing, but
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: like we're open to try it because it really doesn't
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: exist on the main stream, but it's here. But like,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: nobody has ever made it cool. So what I did
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: was I made it cool. But I didn't just focus
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: on the food element. I focused on the experience. So
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: rashand you said it, um, when when you ask the question,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: you said the marketing, right, So we put so much
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: emphasis in the marketing um from the timing that we
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: got to do this thing that it allowed us to
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: be one of the businesses that everybody knows and love.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, to the to the naked eye, and they
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: just seem like a restaurant, But it's bigger than the restaurant, right,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: It's bigger than burgers and fries. We're making people excited
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: about a lifestyle. And I don't know that a lot
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: of businesses do that, but I feel like that's the
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: formula to our success. Is that just like Pepsi and
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Coca Cola, right, like, they're selling a lifestyle experience and
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: then you come get the product based on the experience.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: And we've been able to do that and that's such
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: such apart from a lot of the other businesses and
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: began businesses that you see. But we upslay that whole
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: marketing and that experience to get people excited about the brand. Uh,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: you know, let's let's get to the heart of it.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: You are a star, Okay, I've worked around stars. You
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: know that. You see my bio. I know when I
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: say you star. So you can give me all that
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: little nice marketing you know Steve Harvey, He's sold ticket
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: because he was Steve Harvey. Okay, yeah, he worked hard,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: he marketed, he worked on his jokes, but he separated
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: himself because he believes in himself. Plus he had a
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: unique ability to communicate and unique ability. Same thing with
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith, Same thing Timmis anything with it, Jamie Foxx,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: same thing with Monique, all these people I worked with,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Gabrielle Union and Nick Cannon, and you fall in that
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: class of people who clearly can be talented at someplace else,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: but have chose to be talented in the food industry
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: and the food service industry. Why did you choose discourse Because,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: like I wanted you to say that, because sometimes when
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: I get people on the show, especially uniquely talented people,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: like on the show, you tend to want to give
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: me a glove, a global perspective on your success. Okay, everybody,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Vegan just didn't start last week. You know that. Okay,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: you might come on. It's interesting because like I can
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: only be real and raw, right, Vegan wrong, just Vegan wrong.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: I can only I can only be Vegan raw. But
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: you also said it to listen, people love me, yes,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: because people love me, they're going to buy into the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: experience because they're being the person that curates that experience.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: But it all speaks in the same breath, right, They're
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: gonna fall in love with the marketing and want to
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: be a part of the experience, But they also know
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: who created that experience. And I loved you before I
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: knew what you did. Oh, I appreciate that, I'm saying, Okay,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: I understand that. Okay, you know, people know, people know brands.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: You know, if if people know about Chick fil A
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: and they've never eating a chicken sandwich from Chick fil A,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: and so so the same thing. So your marketing has
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: made you a mainstay in conversation. In other words, you
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: could say that you are are the voice of you know,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. You know a lot of people
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: can listen to show go why he's saying that. But
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: you all become a brand, a vegan brand, a voice,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: and so when you speak, there's so much credibility tied
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: to it because the success is tied to it. You know,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: the social media numbers are tied to it. You know,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: your community uplift is tied to it. So you will
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: beyond just the restaurant and people lining up. People see
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: a soul of spirit, and you understand how to connect
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: to two. And so that's why I say, is that, Yeah,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: we can talk about the marketing, but let's get to
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: the core of why this is successful. It's you one
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: you willing to put in. I always tell people there
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: are twenty four hours in a day. Learn to use
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: every hour of that. You do that, you get up
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: at the same time all the time you do that,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: you committed the uplifting people, not only yourself but also
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: the community because you figured, hey, your God has blessed
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: you is even a bigger blessing if you share those opportunities.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: You do that, and then you know, if you're trying
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: to me, if you're tying me talking about this is good,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: let's talk, I shut up and listen to you for me,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: because see, I can't stand people who are talented. Won't
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: let nobody talk good about it. Just just cut me
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: off right in the middle of one of one of
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: the one of them, one of them, one of them
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: come to the mountain speeches. But you know, I'm gonna
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: get do what you gotta do. You know, conversations. I'm
• 1:16:24

  Speaker 1: but no, I'm new. I don't know nothing about you.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Talk to me like I because like I told you,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: I knew you before you have food. I didn't know
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: what somebody told me. You know what she does that
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: vegan stuff. Yeah, but continue to educate me about you,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: because you wouldn't let me talk about you, so obviously
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: gonna tell me something I don't know. So continue to talk,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: miss pink. I'm learning you something. So the day that
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: I was born, while I was getting my freedom, my
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: father was losing his He was being sentenced to life
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: in prison. He ended up doing twenty two years. So
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: growing up, my mother was working three and four jobs
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: every single day. Immigrants, you're making woman, making sure that
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: the lights were always on, that we always had food
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: on the table. We weren't. We weren't, we weren't eating
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: what the average family was eating. But that's what we
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: made the best out of the big beans and right
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: when we did it, and she just made sure that
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: we had everything that we needed. We may not have
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: had everything that we wanted, but we that's only surely
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: had what we needed. So I remember maneuvering through life,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: always wanting to figure out ways to put my mother
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: in position so that she didn't have to work that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: hard because my father was in prison. Meanwhile, my father
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: would call me from prison from federal prison, telling me
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: what books to read, telling me about stocks and bonds,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: and telling me like how to how to be a
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: boss and a leader. So I took those experiences and
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: I made them my own. I started throwing parties at
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: fourteen years though. I was making four thousand dollars every
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: single week. I remember counting money with my mother on
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: the couch, making more than my mother in high school.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: I'm selling candy, selling food. Just always wanted to create
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: and just to just to get a residual off the
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: things that I put together. Right then, when I got
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: to college, I paid my way through college by doing
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: hair right. So beyond that, I've just always found ways
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: to make money. Um, and to create things that people
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: would be satisfied out with. So in I came up
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: with this concept after working at the Mori Show as
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: a television producer, called Pinky's Jamaican an American restaurant. And
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: I had this restaurant. It was doing well. I did
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: my research. I didn't literally I just wanted to have
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: a business. I'm not a chef. I just liked to
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: cook as a passion project. I'm Jamaican. I like food.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: So I came up with this concept and it was
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: doing extremely well for me not to know anything about business.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: But then I realized that I needed to lose that
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: restaurant in order for it to propel me to to
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: be who you see today, right, So I had a
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: greef fy at that restaurant, UM. And then I got
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to work as a casting director on the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: TV show called Iona Fixed My Life. And while I
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: was on that show, UM, I eventually moved to Atlanta
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: temporarily UM to work. And then I was in the
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: house one day and I came up with Letty vegans.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: But never in a million years if you'd have told
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: me two years ago that that I bed room idea,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: that I created would be one of the hottest contests
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: in the country. I would have told you we're lying,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: but I has that to say, you know, almost you
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: said that to say what pinky? And it almost felt
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: like it was going accident, But it was really divine right.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to happen. And and and now when
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: I look at things, I realized that like I was
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: walking in my purpose all along, it just manifested through
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: sloody Vegan. And now we're here. You're listening to money

• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: money making conversations. I'm your host, Sean McDonald. So how
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: did the name sloody Vegan come about? Because you said
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: you came up with it? Did you share with anybody?
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: Did you joking in came up with? How did they
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: come up? How was it? Who sits there? You sit
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: up in your get your head against the headboard. How
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: wire you were you land? Where will you? How will
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: you sit? Let me tell you I had some medicinal marijuana.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: See what you do? A couple of money making conversation.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: I was just look, that's a part of this story
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: that I don't really talk about. That's a book bar
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you that piece. But I was
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: I was sitting in the bed, and I was going
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: to somebody cloud and I come up with a million
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: ideas all the time. I just if I don't something
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: about being able to create ideas. It's almost like when
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: a rapper freestyles, I could do that what I did.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: And so we're sitting in the same room for at
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: least ten minutes. I didn't came up with about ten ideas,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: and somebody walking away with a billion dollar idea. So
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: I was sitting in the house and I had my
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: medicinal marijuana and and and and it came to me like, oh,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: floody vegan, because I knew that if I created Pinky's vegan,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: it wasn't going to have the same traction. And how
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: did I know that. I knew that because working in TV,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I know what people pay attention to. I know that
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: sex cells, I know it's gonna make them change the channel.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: I know what they're gonna be tuned into. So I said,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna take the two most pleasurable
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: experiences in life, and that sex and that s food,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: and I put it in the pot and I'm a
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: skirt and I'm gonna create something that's going to require
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: people to ask questions because guess what, the vegan lifestyle
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't totally cool, right. It wasn't something that black people,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: especially was saying, Oh, you know, let me get this
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: cool schools. They're not in that. They're like this, this
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: ain't got no flavor. I ain't in that. So how
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: could I create something that's going to get people who
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: don't normally eat like this to at least be interested
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: in having a conversation. So the name sounded racey and
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: I liked it. So many people was like, Oh, that's
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: too racy, that ain't gonna work. But I'm like, guess
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: what if you can't get past the idea that we're
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: not selling sex, we're actually selling a lifestyle, but we're
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: using sex as as the buffer to get people to
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: pay attention to That's exactly what I did, and it worked,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: and there was only I was just having this conversation. Earlier,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: I got an opportunity um to participate in the Super
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: Bowl in twenty nineteen, and they wanted me to change
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: their name. And at that point I realized, listen, I
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: can never waiver on what I created because I created.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: It wasn't mentional. I created it for a reason. And
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: if people can't get past that intention and that mission,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: that those are people that I don't want to work with.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: And it's okay, you don't have to work with everybody.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: So here I am. Two years later, I got listen,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: I got kids saying slutty Digan, Christians, Muslim. It don't
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: matter your age, your creed, you wherever you're from. People
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: are talking about slutty Vegan. You know why because not
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: only is it a burger joint, We're helping the community.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: We're giving back, we're providing resources, we're giving opportunities, we're
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: showing people would have looked like to be an unconventional entrepreneur,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: and we're changing the way that people think about food.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: If you if you don't fall in love it for
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: at least one of those things, you're just a hater.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: And that's that. You know what I'm saying. I get.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: But if you see, I don't pay attention to that
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: because I'm on the strait and narrow and I know
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: that I have something so great that will not only
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: change the dynamic of my family, it will also change
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: the world. Well you do fifty nine thousand Instagram followers.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. You know, when when I
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: sat up and talked to a little I'm gonna call
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: you a baby genius. You know, because you know the
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: baby genius here she up there in her bed. You

• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: hear that on it. You know she you know, she
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: put like four or five sentences in a row. I

• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: love the most, food and sexs put them in the pot,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: and I just start stirring. Let's start talking about that menu.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: Because see, you're right, you know, because of the fact
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: that I feel that your name created such a high
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: level of curiosity that they brought in your age group,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: which is really key. And that's why I feel you successful,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: because you know, because because vegan ism to me, to
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: me was always felt like older generation food. You know,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: they're trying to eat before you know, they figured out
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: they need to start eating because they have they blood
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: pressure too. How they're trying to get light right. You
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: made this hip for your generation because you are a millennial.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: But you know it's so crazy. Let me tell you
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: something real quick. Sorry to cut you off, but I
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: gotta say that I don't know why. Okay, okay, okay,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: you know next time, I know it just COVID the team.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: You're gonna we're gonna see each other. Next time. I'll
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: just let you know we're gonna see each other. Listen,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: the Aunties they love me. That's demographic is actually not
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: the millennials. It's the more it's the people that are
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: conservative that make a medium like like, listen, thirty five
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: to fifty five is my core audience that I see those,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: I see the lines I see listen. These are women
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: who have children, These are women who are conservatives. They
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: literally this ain't it ain't even just the millennials. You
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: got the older people, the people that support me the most.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: I laughed and joke with my friends. I'm like, listen,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: I don't get what y'all say. The Aunties love me.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: And as long as I got the Aunties in my
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: back pocket, I'm good, right, right, and you got it?
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: And so three nine thousand Instagram follows. Now, how how
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: does that help your business to have that amound social
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: media force tied to your you know, certified account and
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: it's Instagram. Um so, so beyond just Instagram followers, right,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: we have different channels where we have different audiences. On
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: so Facebook you may truly get like the aunties and
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: the families, and then on Instagram you get the younger people.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: But then we also have a community text group where
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: I can text my consumer, right, I can text them
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: like I'm having a regular conversation with them, and we
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: do that. We do it in the most organic way.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: I'm texting them like, hey, big head, what you're doing?
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: Come see me? And then I put the restaurant address,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: So I have about seven thousand people in there, and
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: then I have twenty thousand people on my email blast.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: So how it helps me is that, however I want
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: to communicate with my people, I can use a different
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: channel to do that and a different tone to do
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: that to get my message across. So say, God forbid
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Instagram chets down today. I know I got different channels
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: to communicate with the people, but It's been a benefit
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: to me nonetheless, because I can touch the people. And
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: that's why they love Vegan Because you see here, you
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: see a restaurant concept that is moving into a corporate
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: structure of the business. We're moving at scale, we're open
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: up new locations, but we still have the voice of
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: the people, right we we we still insert things that
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: are happening in the culture into the business in an
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: authentic way where that's that's not exploiting people, but making
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: people feel comfortable and safe to say that. Guess what
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: I see myself in this business. I see the journey.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: I can follow the journey and I can grow with
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: this journey because I feel like I'm a part of it,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: and we make people feel a part of that journey.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: And that's really why it works. So we're able to
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: use the channels um that we have, and we have
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: multiple channels, and we grow those channels every single day. Great, fantastic.
• 1:29:53

  Speaker 1: dot Com. More importantly, you know, I I feel comfortable
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: and being able to joke around with you because of
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: the fact that you know you're you're a real person
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: in the community. But before we get into your community,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about this third location you're opening,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: telling people why you're opening it. You know, we're coming
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: out of the pandemic. Okay, we're not need out of
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. If you made a decision to open up
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: a third restaurant, talk about it. Where is it located at? UM?
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: So you know what I learned about slutty vegan and
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: slutty vegans, the weather proof right um and slutty vegans
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: covid proof. As long as we continue to do what
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: we've been doing and learn how to pivot. And I
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: think that that's the beautiful thing about entrepreneurs, knowing how
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: to pivot, right, like being a chameleon, and like facing
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: adversity and understand how to like change that adversity into
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: a benefit to your business. And I think that I've
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: been able to do that very well. And I say
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: all that to say that I just opened up another
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: lit a second location a month ago that got lined
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: down the block. So now I got two locations with
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: lines down the block. Any day now I'm opening my
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: third location and historic fourth Ward on Edgewood, UM and
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: I'm doing that also in the middle of a pandemic.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited about that location because there's so much
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: history there. Martin Luther King grew up um less than
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: than two minutes away from that location, so there's a
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: lot of historic elements. Um, you got all burned over there.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on in that neighborhood. And
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like we can continue to revitalize Edgewood when
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: we put a new staple in the community like Floody Beacon.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: That's not just coming just to make money. We're coming
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: to to really like help the community grow right and
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: be better. And that's what we do in every single community.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: So Edgewood is opening in the next few days. I'm
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: excited about it. It's three thousand square feet. Um, we
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: got a full on kitchen. It's really just going to
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: be experienced, right. People come and they could feel like
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: they're at home when they come to Edgewood. When they
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: come inside of Floody Deagon, they're going to see pieces
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: of history that's gonna remind them why Atlanta is so necessary,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: why Edgewood is so necessary, and why business and converse
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: is so necessary. So you'll you'll get pieces of that
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get pieces of of the HBCUs that are
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: in the community. You're gonna get elements of people who
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: have taken Atlanta to the next level through politics, through
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: business like You're gonna get a lot of that. And
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: what we've learned how to do in a great way
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: and we continue to do it, is we know how
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: to teach and we know how to hide the education
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: um inside of the experience. And that's what we're gonna
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: be doing the Edgeword. So I'm excited. After Edgewood, We've
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: got two more locations that were opening up in Atlanta,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: and then I'm on to the next day because we're
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: growing and God is good man. Now I'll start trying
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: to figure out why I admit your I'm gonna call
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: you short because you because you because you're talking all
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: this noise to be right now. Now, a couple of
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: things that you're joined in the community. Here this this
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: national jiggle contest that you had, which I thought was
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: super smart with my boar big ticker over there V
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: one oh three in Atlanta, Georgia. And then you're doing
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: something with his Georgia Department of Julia Juvenile Justice, the
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: d JJ with the ten thou dollar scholarship of jobs
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: at your at your just all tied through the Pinky
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: Cold Foundation and you being Pinky Cold that owned the
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: Slowly Vegan restaurant. These are both empowering formats. One is
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: empowering and for entertainment purposes and let people know that
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: they get the opportunity to work with an establish a
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: national known recording artists. Right there alone means that you
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: got juice. And then you're on the show with my
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: board Big Tiger on a on a one o three
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: v one o three and then now you're doing the
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: d JJ with the Georgia Department. So talk of the
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: reason behind both of its adventures, I should say, and
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: because I watched my mother being philanthropist. She was, she
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: was a hood philanthropist. She didn't even realize what she
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: was doing. But you watch it, though, but you watch,
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: but I watched her right, So like I remember being
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: a kid and we got ten people living in the house,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: so like the community community was embedded in me. As
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: a kid, I didn't understand what was happening, but I
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: just knew that there were people coming from Jamaica that
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: were standing at my mother's house. That that we didn't
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: share the same blood, but they became family right. So
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: all through my life I absorbed that watching my mother
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: do that and saw her selfless attitude and behavior and
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: how she moved as a queen, and I really like
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: captured that from my mother. So as an adult, it's
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: full circle. And I laught for my mother about this because, like,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: philanthropy is at the core of who I am, right,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm a magnet. The money money is gonna come
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: to me. I'm gonna get it regardless, But to be
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: able to help people and provide resources for people, that
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: is more money than any dollar bill could ever be
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: in my bank account because I know that I get
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: to uplift people and I know that those blessings are
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: going to come back ten folds. So when I created
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: the foundation, I created it because one being totally transparent
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: my finance God like, Jinky, you're spending a lot of money.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: How do people were like, what we're gonna do? I said,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's put some structure to this because
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: I'm the type of person I'm gonna take the shirt
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: off my back to help somebody else. So I created
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: my foundation to do exactly what I do in my
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: real life help people. So I partner with the Department
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: of Juvenile Justice to provide opportunities to thirty x juvenile
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: of vendors, right because I see them as people and
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: I know what it felt like to be on a
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: receiving end of somebody being caught up in the system.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to help them and show them a
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: different way of life. That's number one. UM. Number two
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: providing resources for businesses in my area, the businesses in
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: which I served, you know, I've helped them um financially
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: support themselves while going through COVID and making sure that
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: the people around me are doing good. Because if I'm
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: doing good and they're not doing good, then I'm not winning, right.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: That's number two. UM. Number three in my foundation, I'm
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: doing something called vote nick Um with Jamaine dupri and
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Impossible Fools to get people excited about voting. So at
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I don't care who you
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: vote for. This vote because guess what, Once upon a time,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: we didn't have the right and the ability to do that.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: So now that you have an opportunity to do that,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: exercise it however you do it. Just exercises so that
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: your voice could be heard. But those are just three
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: of the million things that we've already done in the foundation.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: But it feels good to know that I can use
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: that platform to help people build generational wealth. Oh and
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: the one thing that I didn't this is the biggest
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: thing that I'm working on, and I'm actually about you
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: forget something, Okay I am. I'm partnering with um Derrek Kay's.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: He owns a restaurant called Big Days Cheese Steaks. We're
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: doing a life insurance initiative where we're providing life insurance
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: for every single black man in Atlanta who makes thirty
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: tho dollars a less um so that they don't have
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: to pay for So what I do is like real
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: community works. Right. So like I called myself a hood politician, right,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm not super versed in politics that
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: to be honest, that's really not my thing. However, I
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: like to help people, and I know that I can
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: reach the community by helping them and showing them that
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: there's a better way by providing them sources, giving them
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: access to information because you know, people don't really want
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: to give us access. But now I'm gonna make it
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: my responsibility to provide access resources and to show people
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: about financial literacy. The things that I did learn now
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: I know that I can show you and I do
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: all of that through my foundation. Well, she is the Queen.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: I love her. The first time we've actually talked, this
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: first time we've actually communicated, and she got to hear
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: what I think about her, and I hope she understands
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: this is an under talk from somebody who recognizes gifted people.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: And more importantly, her community involvement is really to me
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: more important than her food, and her food is the
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: bonus part of who she is because she is not
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: forgotten that it takes a whole to be successful, not
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: a half. You have to you have everybody has to
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: be part of the opportunity. And she understands that and
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: she values that. Sluggy Vegan is a is a product.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: It started, like she said, started in her bedroom. I
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: always tell people on this show, you have to be
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: motivated by an opportunity and you have put a plan
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: in place, and you have to give effort for that
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: plan to be successful. That's what you've done, Pinky with
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: your brand. You know, it's an idea. We all have ideas,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: and you decided that you guess what, I'm gonna put
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: it in place. And then when people try to try
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: to twist it, try to come in with a crazy
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: idea of question you. First of all, you whenever I
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: want tell people, whenever somebody questioned you on your idea,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: ask them how much have they participate? Are they participated
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: with money? Are they participating with work responsibility? Or they
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: just participating because they're just verbally commenting those people have
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: to ignore it first, and then when you when you
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: get your business rolling, you have to understand people asking
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: you to compromise. If anybody ever asked you to compromise
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: on your idea for a one time event, that's a
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: bad idea. That's a bad idea because you will never
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: be able to recover because for the you always be
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: walking away going I should not have done that, and
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: why did I do it? Because you compromise your values
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: and you refuse to do that. And guess what you're
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: all over this? Are we going out of the state here?
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: What's what's happening here with bloody VVA? You know, at first,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: why are you not on TV here? You know it's
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: funny I got two TV office right now? Okay, okay,

• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: First of all, you're an entrepreneur and you're part of
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: the uh the fastest division of growth women Black women
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: as entrepreneurs in America. Why in the world of entrepreneurship.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: You know, we've seen how especially black women have been
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the matriarchs of the families stay home, you know,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: take care of the kids. The husbands work, go out
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: and do the work. What is your mindset, Kansas, that
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: makes you an entrepreneur? Um, guess my mind. I'm gonna
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: tell anybody I am an entrepreneur because I want to
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: free you know, I want my kind. I want to
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: be able to do what I want to do when
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: I get ready. Um so that's why I am on entrepreneur.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: I know everybody has a you know on reason why
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: they do what they do, but for me, I just,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I really wanted my freedom. I worked the
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: job for years and I couldn't do what I wanted
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: to do, whether it was time or financial. But now
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: that I have been an entrepreneur for the last ten years,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty much made a place where I can do
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: what I want to do. And that's the most you
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: know things that I love the most of that being
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. So why is that important? Because you're nine
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: to five, you get vacation page, you get sick days page,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: you get a potential for one k. You know, the
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: steady week, that's pretty much guaranteed if you're a stable
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: place of employment every week bi weekly payments of weekly payments.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: That sounds so good to go out there and being
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneur there there's no certain things out there, So
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: what is inspiring you? What is what is forcing you
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: on enabling you to walk past all that insert uncertainty.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: So I am a spot professional. I was a license
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: sage therapy for years. And you know, I worked a job.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: I worked for a spar company, UM, and I had
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: to clock any out. You know, if Karen wasn't on
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: the book, you know, I had to sit there at
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: the job and not get paid. So I got I
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: got paid. I was based off how many people I
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: took in in the day. My income was not Gary
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: feed as a spot professional because we get paid totally different.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: So we get paid per person that we actually took.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: So if nobody was on the books, we wasn't get bade.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: So you've always been an entrepreneur in a sense. Then
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: I actually was a waitress about thirteen years. Uh and
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: just think case you're don't know anything about you know,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: being a waitress. The long as we worked there, the
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: more levels you have to kind of do what you
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to do. Um. And so I did it get
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: for thirteen years. But you know, I made the same
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: amount of money every single month, Like I knew how
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: much I learned about how much money, how was going.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: You knew to peak with kids, and you know the
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: days and the shifts that were strong and and you know,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: but but that's but that's just knowing information. But that
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that's information that's going to change your life.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: And so being entrepreneur, if you were, you know, you
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: learned the peak times, you know the type of customers,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: the places to go. So so you were licensed, but
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that's because you know, I haven't had
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: massagies in my life. My daughter was with a professional
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: tennis player, so we have to have massage. We go
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: to massage therapists for her and sometimes we've invite them
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: by the home depending on she had a match schedule.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: So but to still step out there on your own though,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: in the industry, black industry, because black people are interesting
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: when it comes to to what we do with you,
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: which seems like a norm when it comes to the
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: white white people. And I have to say it like this.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: You know, white people, they vacation differently, they take care
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: of their bodies differently. They they massages or foot feed,
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: pedicures and manicures. So what made you feel that you
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: can open the door to black people in this small
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: industry and to be successful based on your vision, believe
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: it or not. When I first get into these a
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: lot of my clients were occasions and me, first of all,
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: believe it or not. I believe it. Okay. That's why
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: I made that big speech before I talked to I'm
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: not shocking a boy black people. I go this small
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: is enough to know black people not sitting in the
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: lobby waiting, Okay. I'm I'm one of whatever or whoever
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: came in there with me. Okay, So so I will
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: not be shocked. And that's why I'm just saying this
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: is a very you see a market out there, but
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: it's not responsive based on the client lists that you have,
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: and so I just want to let you know that
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: is one of the reasons I brought you on the show,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: which to show people that don't you can't go to
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: go against the norm and be successful or the perception
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: and be successful. And that's what you're accomplishing in the
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: in this in the smart industry as an African American woman.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: You can continue. Now that you know Shan understands that.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not. Thank you. That was a bay.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, uh, And what happened?
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: You know? I thought always having all these Caucasian clients
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: and it just done on me, like, hey, you know,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: this is not something that we are doing. So I
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: always tell everybody. I made massage cool for black people. Um.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: I got on Facebook first, I got on you know,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: the Instagram, and I just made like a really big
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: deal to come and get these maccabis in my strategy
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: with spot parties and these spot parties for years. I
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: started out doing kids spy party, So every little black

• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: you and I want to masside. And so that time
• 1:51:04

  Speaker 1: But I just made massage super cool. And I showed

  Speaker 1: this COVID thing popped up. I just don't imagine. I
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: can't imagine your smile. Where did your smile? I go?
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: What did that energy going? I'm telling I lost two
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: hundred tho dollars um. I used to do China trips
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: before COVID, so I would take people who are building
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: aside who China know to get direct vendor to you know,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: having a spot. It's expensive startup, so I used to
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: take stock professionals to China to meet the vendors. We
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: had a really big trip planed. I lost two hundred
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars in at three APO. There's another reason I
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: was on the phone. I also owned a team with
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: a truck and company. UM one of my trucks that
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: broke down. There was like another fourth thound of dollars week,
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: so there was like a two uns four you know.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: It was a big loss of the three A. So
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: I was just in a funk. And then the COVID
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: was here in the Pelican, United States, and it was
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: just like anything would just hit me at one time,
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: and I just had to give myself together over the
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: three days. Okay, cool, the black Spot magazine, let's go
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: back to because we kind of got it, kind of
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: got started on convincing black people it's all right there,
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: lay down and be touched and woke up and feel good. Now,
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: how did you do it? How? I don't see him?
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: When did you find these black people? Kanvas? I've never
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: seen I've don't this. I've been on cruise ships. I
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: have not seen black people show. I've never went in
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: the spa and another black person was sitting in that way.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: Why did you find out they found me um. I
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: was hearing there's a thing too. When I moved to Atlanta,
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I targeted influences. I targeted you know, feel
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: every people. So you know if they shout you out,
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: you know the flood gates are going to open. So
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: that was one of my marketing strike. So all of
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: these people found to me um via Instagram in Facebook
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: with the youth of good hashtag good. Now, with that
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: being said, what is a good massage? Because I like
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: I'm telling I had that deep tissue massage love and
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: mercy that is so painful. I've made that mistake twice
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: in my life. I thought I a man up and
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: go through that. No, no, no, no no, that deep
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: tissue got something working on your job. So what is
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: what is a softy like me a whimp? Did you
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: want to lay down and do a good massage? Wake
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: up feeling good? You know I'm out of shape, so
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not. You're not gonna worry about no hamstring pools
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, or any muscles that it's gonna
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: fly out or my arm ain't gonna just fly back
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: and just slap you because you you touch of really
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: muscular moment in my arms. What's a good massage that Kansas.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to a good massade, it's really
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: not a good massade. It's a good therapist. It's a
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: good because a good massage therapist, like whoever he's doing
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: your massage, they need to be deal. So if you
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: come to me and I do the proper consultation and
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: you're telling me, hey, I had it, and even if
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: you had a depiction massade and you hated it, your
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: therapist should have asked you, hey, it's pressure. Okay, So
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: if you're in pain, you can ease up. You know
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: what you want. But I tell I tell most people, um,
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: you can get a relaxation massage, but you get it
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: with trigger points. So I definitely, I'm definitely going to
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: relax you. But less you say your can been hurt
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: before your show to have been hurt, I'm gonna put
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit more empetus on those points and how
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: to trigger point um to relieve the pain for you.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: That the majority of the masthod is going to be relaxation,
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: So I am not hurting you. So you gotta make
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: sure you let your therapies know exactly what you want
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: in any time throwing the pasage. Anybody who listens to you,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: if you are in pain, make sure you let your
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: death is know because they will keep on going a
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: oh my good oh my goodness. I'm would tell you something.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: I made that mistake. I will not do a deep tissue.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: I've tried it. I thought that was I don't know
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: what was running through my mind. Well, you know, and
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: but first of all, wants the pain hits you, the
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: spark experiences over with far as I'm concerned, so exactly,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, because like you said, it's therapy,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're supposed to relax. And so that's
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: like somebody throwing cold water on you in bed. You're
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: not gonna go back to sleep. I don't care if
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: you try. You're not gonna go back to sleep. You're
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: gonna be mad, You're gonna be thinking about it. Is
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: this person gonna hurt me again? Or this person gonna
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: throw more cold water on me? They'll do they standing
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: over there, smiling, They won't won't join you in baid
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: go to sleep. So same thing when a person who
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: is a massage and me, they might ease up, but
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: all they're gonna hit me again. Maybe they don't listen
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: real well. That happened to me twice, So that's the
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: deep teaching massage. On the other hand, I've learned the
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: type of massagees that have worked for me, and I've
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: been very happy experiencing the massage is now now as
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: you what is the worst customer for you to come
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: in there? A gruffy person, a person who is impatient person? Uh?
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: What is the worst type of person to give him
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: massage to? Um? The worst person who were part of
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: the people who weren't happy ending. That's the worst person.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: I myself, I tried myself on being um professional. So

• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: talk to the individual like you who have who are
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: who is redefining the game. Because, yeah, I've been in
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: this business with Steve Harvey. We did a lot of
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: things together on radio, and the one thing that always
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: frustrated frustrated me was the perception of black people of
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: what people think of us, you know, and it plays
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: yeah in the social and the civil unrest that we
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: have out there, but they don't see us in technology.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we get no respect there. We get no
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: respect in the sciences. You know, we get no you know,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: they feel that we're you know, on the average, they're
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: good black people and they're bad black people. You know
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 1: that perception. And then when you tell me about the
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: spot industry, I joke and I said, and I'm telling
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: the absolute truth. But then if nobody tries and makes
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: an attempt to create that market and has a value
• 2:11:31
