  Speaker 1: to go somewhere and sit down. Now she's singing, Come
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on now. That's why it was important that people need
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to hear that this is not something you thought of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: last week. This is part of your d N, a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: part of your life. You support your husband, and y'all
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: were still doing things together, but still not the things
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that you could do. So right now in your life,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: am I saying it correctly? You're now doing the things
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that you want to do and can do and should do.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Correct Absolutely absolutely. And it's funny that you get those
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: different ages range just because I'm thirty six and so
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I still have a few more years to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: go before I hit forty. But I'm closer to forty
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: than I am eighteen or thirty, that's for sure. Um.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And you know, many of us have many talents. You know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we have a story in the Bible where it talks
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: about where people were giving different talents, right, and so
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: even sometimes when you know, I've gone on social media
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and I've been playing the keyboard while I'm singing, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: people are like, oh my gosh, i'd know she knew
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: how to play, you know, Um, we all have talents,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and I feel like in due time and in due season,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know, those things show their head again and they show, hey,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: look this is here. This was instilled in you. This
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is a gift that was God given. And so me
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: walking in my purpose and walking in that and being
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you know, using that, you know to help other people,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: specifically women who can relate to my music. You know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for me, that's exactly where I'm supposed to be now
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: now when you talk about your music, because the beauty
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of when I say that, we're beauty, because you're a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: beautiful person, and sometimes people will use that against you,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you know, and say that you know, oh, she's just
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: getting that because she's attractive. Of she's just getting that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: My whole thing is that I have six sisters, So
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I get really sensitive when people start getting into that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that that the gender bending about this is why they
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: are successful. I love the fact that I've seen you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: grow and I to be in a relationship to the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: next twenty years so I can see hopefully the the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: next end game. Because I do feel that when I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: said the word eighteen and forty, what she's doing everybody
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is that a lot of time when people have not
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: accomplished their dreams or not living their dreams. When they
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: get the forty, they feel depressed. They feel that they
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: feel that they can't do anything other than what they're
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: doing at that time. At forty, they feel that there's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: no future. She said the word thirty six. She's four
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: away from forty. But guess what she's not doing what
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: she wants to do in her life and can do.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That's important. And I really I want to use this
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: episode of interviewing you as a motivating factor, not only
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for your fans, because a lot of people who will
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be hearing this interview Melody Shari for the first time,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: let's right, Shari for the first time, will understand she's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: an independent thinker and you are a brand now officially
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: called Melody Shari. Correct. Absolutely yes, and you know, speaking
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of that, you know, I spent many years where of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: course when I was married, building a brand as this
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: power couple, power duo in business together and so now
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: me having to rebrand myself solo and then of course
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: after being divorced, going from Melody Hole to Melody Chari
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and um, I will tell anyone that hard work is
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: definitely where it's at. Um. You know, you have to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: have a strong work ethic with anything that you do.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I literally had a conversation UM yesterday and I told them, yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I actually did my song on Sunday. I went in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the studio, recorded my song Sunday, did the cover shoot
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, dropped it on Saturday. And they said, WHOA,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you did all that in a week. I said absolutely,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And I went and recorded my other song on that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and they were like, wow. UM, to say my
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: work ethic is unmatched, UM, that would be an understatement.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I I don't look or respect anything to be handed
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: or given to me. UM. But I believe in working hard.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And my my mindset is as long as I'm moving,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: God will meet me where I need to be. Meant
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to make sure I get to where I'm trying to go.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So I wake up early three or four o'clock in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the morning, I'm the h there you go. That's me
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: four thirty every day Friday, for the weekends. Absolutely even
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: for me, even all the weekends. And I utilize every minute,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: every second of the day. UM. To make sure that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like something didn't get handled because I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: decided to, you know, not put my all into the day,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and so you have to be willing to make those
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: sacrifices you have to. But that comes from it being
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in your heart. When something in your heart and um,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it means a lot to you, you're gonna put in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the work, you know, when you're passionate about it, you're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: gonna put in the world. Well, you know, I'm gonna
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: back up a little bit here your journey and the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: journey watching you become who you are today, and believe me,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: there is a even brighter future for her. I don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: want to limit like this is her. She's gonna drop
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a single, drop another single. Herd entrepreneurship and her give
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: back has always been strong. In fact, you've seen it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and some of the episodes of Love and Marriage Holly
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Huntsville when she was starting her own podcast type set
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: up and trying to get her voice out there and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: trying to tell everybody her story. And that started with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the masterclasses. And I remember you to Rashan, I'm gonna
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: start these masterclasses and you start rolling it out on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: your Instagram account. Why was there that? I think that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: was the first foray until you really starting establishing your brand.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And then we're gonna talk about the makeup line. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that was the first part of stepping out of the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurs and out of the entrepreneurship lane as yourself and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: sharing your knowledge with other people, especially women correct well, yes,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: especially women. You know, I've had UM a situation where
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'd actually been heavily a part of UM a friend
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: getting into the industry called property preservation, and so it
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: was successful, and um, you know, there was something to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: me that says, you know what, if I can do
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it once, I can do it again. And you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I had this idea of taking the time to teach
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: others how to get into into this white male dominated
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: industry and showing them the way. It's a multibillion dollar industry,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: so showing them the way, showing them how they could
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get another level of financial freedom and build wealth. And
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: so I launched my first class in junior. To date,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've had over four hundred students who have gone through
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: my course, UM, mostly African American females. I've had people
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: who've been able to resign from their nine to fives.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I've had people who are already teaching their sons and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: their nephews about the industry to build that generational wealth
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and that family business. And so it's been great for
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: me and fulfilling for me to be quite honest um,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to have my master class where I am able to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: pour into others and teach them the game. That honestly
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: helped me to resign, to be able to resign from
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: teaching in April of eleven
