2:35
Speaker 1: Her god given gift allows her to see a person's past,
2:40
Speaker 1: president and possibilities of their future by simply hearing their voice,
2:44
Speaker 1: reading the text, or taking one glance at them, whether
2:47
Speaker 1: in person or even a picture. Ability to sense exactly
2:50
Speaker 1: what an individual has experienced a company with intuitively knowing
2:54
Speaker 1: that an intuition of knowing that what is to calm
3:00
Speaker 1: or what may have happened. It's a resource too many
3:02
Speaker 1: and can be a resource to you. That's why I
3:04
Speaker 1: have on my show Money Making Conversation to uses the
3:07
Speaker 1: gifts of intuition or foresight to help her clients shift
3:10
Speaker 1: their mindset, change their behaviors, and create their best life possible,

3:17
Speaker 1: mental stress that's brought on by covid. UH Intuition ability
3:23
Speaker 1: UH allows you to understand, allows us to understand people
3:26
Speaker 1: and see what lies beyond the surface. Is widely considered
3:28
Speaker 1: a gift and blessing. Please work with no money making
3:31
Speaker 1: conversation Tosh Leah Hamilton's how you doing, Toshi Sean, thank
3:36
Speaker 1: you so much for having me. Thank you. I wanted
3:38
Speaker 1: to personalize that intro a little bit more soon than
3:40
Speaker 1: just saying words, because when you're talking about something that is,
3:45
Speaker 1: you know, people know what a bank teller does, they
3:47
Speaker 1: know what a mailman does. They might even know what
3:50
Speaker 1: an engineer does. You know, but to do what you
3:53
Speaker 1: do requires a certain degree of explanation. So let's start
3:57
Speaker 1: out allowing you explain your gift. Sure, So I have
4:02
Speaker 1: a god given gift where I can literally look at
4:04
Speaker 1: someone or hear their boys, look at a photo, and
4:07
Speaker 1: know everything that has transpired in their lives, ranging from
4:10
Speaker 1: past present as well as their future. Um, it is
4:13
Speaker 1: a gift that I was doing with my family. Realized
4:15
Speaker 1: that I'm six years old, that I had this gift,
4:17
Speaker 1: and I used it to give you the insight and
4:20
Speaker 1: the confirmation and the direction that you need in your
4:23
Speaker 1: life that really propel. So I use it in a
4:25
Speaker 1: positive manner. So I have a gift life. Just know
4:27
Speaker 1: everything about your life right now? That's that's that sounds great. Okay,
4:32
Speaker 1: a lot of people might want to might be comfortable
4:35
Speaker 1: with discussing the past, maybe even the present. It is
4:38
Speaker 1: the future that might throw people into because like it's
4:43
Speaker 1: like I said, I think that the cool thing about
4:46
Speaker 1: what you do is that we all I'll talk about
4:48
Speaker 1: setting goal a lot on this show. That's that's the
4:51
Speaker 1: purpose and setting plans. You gotta have a direction, you
4:53
Speaker 1: have to be focused. But being able to tell people
4:56
Speaker 1: what the possibility of the future is, doesn't that help
4:59
Speaker 1: them set stronger goals? They're aligned with that prediction. Absolutely,
5:05
Speaker 1: And that's why I incorporated life coach to my brain
5:08
Speaker 1: because it definitely is a lot of coaching based off
5:10
Speaker 1: of the information that I know that's transpired in their
5:13
Speaker 1: past as well as their presence. I'm giving them the
5:15
Speaker 1: road map and the two and the resources to sixty
5:18
Speaker 1: to get to where they need to be. Now, I
5:20
Speaker 1: include a possibility of your future because I cannot predict
5:22
Speaker 1: anyone to teach you. I'm not God. Um it is
5:24
Speaker 1: a guy gonna get but I'm not God. But based
5:26
Speaker 1: off of what I know you can do to get there,
5:29
Speaker 1: I'll give you the insight and most clients who listen
5:31
Speaker 1: to me it almost ends up successful, right, And so
5:33
Speaker 1: basically you're saying, look, I'm not telling you like you're
5:37
Speaker 1: going to find a hundred thousand dollars next week, but
5:40
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how you can get to that
5:42
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars based on what I know of you,
5:45
Speaker 1: what my intuition is telling me you're capable of doing,
5:48
Speaker 1: which is really really cool, you know, because we always
5:51
Speaker 1: we always see that a lot that will just go
5:53
Speaker 1: back to normal because the coach is seeing an athlete
5:56
Speaker 1: and say, you know, if you if you work hard,
5:58
Speaker 1: you show up on time, and you give a then
6:02
Speaker 1: you could be you could reach your goals as an athlete. Now,
6:05
Speaker 1: as a life coach, we don't have that. We can't
6:07
Speaker 1: tell somebody that you know, in order for you to
6:10
Speaker 1: be successful, we can do it at certain levels. We
6:13
Speaker 1: can tell you go to the school and get a
6:14
Speaker 1: college degree, or graduate from high school, or go to
6:18
Speaker 1: a trade school. But from a life perspective, you're doing
6:21
Speaker 1: something rather unique, aren't you, Tosh? Absolutely yeah, because I'm
6:25
Speaker 1: literally giving you the road map. People jokingly say that
6:27
Speaker 1: I'm like the che quote to life, because I'm giving
6:29
Speaker 1: you the road map of what you need to do.
6:31
Speaker 1: To get to where you desire to be God given purpose?
6:35
Speaker 1: You know, I know what's happening. I want everyone to
6:37
Speaker 1: just winning life, you know. So I'm the I'm the
6:40
Speaker 1: resource for that. Right. So now they're always skeptics, you know. Okay,
6:45
Speaker 1: Now how do you fight the skeptic? You know? And
6:47
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, here's the funny part about it. There's skeptics,
6:50
Speaker 1: and people hire you even though they're skeptical. Yes, how
6:55
Speaker 1: do you walk? How do you get passed us that
6:58
Speaker 1: skepticism over? First? You might hire just the industry in general. Yeah,
7:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I just speak to them. I'm like, listen,
7:05
Speaker 1: you know, I'm here to give you whatever God told
7:07
Speaker 1: me to give you. I goes to the process, never chance,
7:10
Speaker 1: even for skeptics, and I say, whatever God told me, Tony,
7:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you. And I pray before
7:15
Speaker 1: I speak to each of you, one of my clients,
7:17
Speaker 1: so they can know where my information is coming from.
7:19
Speaker 1: And I just start speaking. So with the information that
7:22
Speaker 1: I give them without them not telling me a thing,
7:25
Speaker 1: there's no way they can get a stepics because they're like,
7:27
Speaker 1: how do you know this? What they just shot? And
7:30
Speaker 1: I love those times I love the skeptics. I know,
7:33
Speaker 1: you know, it's really funny because my wife heard the
7:35
Speaker 1: interview on Tuesday that we did on month Making Conversation Live,
7:38
Speaker 1: which is a show I do in Atlanta on w
7:40
Speaker 1: c okay every Tuesday from six pm standards. I do
7:44
Speaker 1: a live show. I take phone calls and she's going, Seanan,
7:48
Speaker 1: has she ever read you as a no? No no?
7:50
Speaker 1: And always I do Yesterday Dope Dope, Dope, Dope, dope dope.
7:57
Speaker 1: You know that that's our running jokes. She gonna reach out,
7:59
Speaker 1: I have something like Nope. It's not that I don't believe.
8:04
Speaker 1: It's just that I'm a planner. I'm a guy that
8:07
Speaker 1: that that all my life, I've been pretty focused. And
8:09
Speaker 1: I said, if I stay focused on what I'm supposed
8:11
Speaker 1: to do, then I'm gonna reach my goals. And her
8:14
Speaker 1: her skill is a life coach. A lot of people
8:17
Speaker 1: who sometimes maybe not as focused I am, maybe undone,
8:21
Speaker 1: understand time management and get them aligned. That's why I
8:24
Speaker 1: really love promoting your brand because I feel it's essential
8:27
Speaker 1: to a lot of people to understand what's it expected
8:30
Speaker 1: of them based on what you see of them, and
8:33
Speaker 1: how they can reach them. Talk about that. Yeah, I
8:36
Speaker 1: mean it's a process. You know what I want to
8:37
Speaker 1: sertif by saying authenticity is key. I do not tell
8:41
Speaker 1: people what they want to know. I tell them what
8:42
Speaker 1: they need to hear, basically what's coming up for me.
8:45
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's not the best. Everything is not always
8:47
Speaker 1: flowers and sunshine. Sometimes we have to have full flegged,
8:51
Speaker 1: hard conversations about where you are with your life and
8:53
Speaker 1: being true to that. And so I'm compassionate, I'm gifted,
8:57
Speaker 1: I'm intuitive, and I'm giving you your truth that you
9:00
Speaker 1: can get to where your destiny to be. And that's it.
9:02
Speaker 1: It is a process. And what the process starts how
9:06
Speaker 1: because you know, sitting down with Tas for a talk
9:08
Speaker 1: to Tash, that's the that's the session you know has
9:11
Speaker 1: TV show written now all over it if a life
9:13
Speaker 1: changing moment where she has an open and honest conversation
9:16
Speaker 1: about what is working and not working in your life.
9:18
Speaker 1: Right there is the key right there because a lot
9:20
Speaker 1: of people out there, Tosh, because I want to get
9:23
Speaker 1: down and dirty with your on it, because a lot
9:25
Speaker 1: of people out there need to hear the truth. Now. Now,
9:27
Speaker 1: if you have this gift, how do you break the
9:30
Speaker 1: truth to people? I'm saying you need to stop doing
9:33
Speaker 1: this when sometimes doing this is easy for them. It's easy.
9:38
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna hund your person authentic, you know,
9:41
Speaker 1: I mean with s You've known me for a long
9:42
Speaker 1: time now. I don't go back and from New York,
9:45
Speaker 1: so you know, I give it how it is no chasing.
9:47
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who come to me and
9:48
Speaker 1: want to know about their relationships. It's my spouse cheating
9:52
Speaker 1: on me, right, computing on you. I'm gonna say your
9:56
Speaker 1: spouse is cheating on you, and then I'll give them
9:59
Speaker 1: whatever they need to find out why this is happening,
10:02
Speaker 1: on how this is happening, to deal with the situation.
10:04
Speaker 1: So again they want to know the truth. But sometimes
10:07
Speaker 1: people can't handle the truth. So I just tell them, scared,
10:10
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. This is what we have and
10:12
Speaker 1: this is what's going on. It's shocking, but it's it's
10:15
Speaker 1: also healing in the same sense. Well, you know, here's
10:17
Speaker 1: the funny point about it, and is maybe not funny
10:19
Speaker 1: to some people. Go if you're coming to Taj and
10:22
Speaker 1: say is he cheating on me? Yes? Is she cheating
10:26
Speaker 1: on yes? Because you already at that question that questioning
10:30
Speaker 1: stage if you already doubt enough enough evidence has been planned.
10:34
Speaker 1: Now you just want to Now you're just trying to
10:36
Speaker 1: get evidence on it concrete things. So now now your layer.
10:41
Speaker 1: Now you bring up the whole cheating thing. But you're
10:43
Speaker 1: deeper than that, because you're talking about career talk, financial talk,
10:49
Speaker 1: business decision talks. So let's break down each layer because
10:53
Speaker 1: we always can talk about the emotional relationship because that
10:57
Speaker 1: that that that resonates openly with people, because you know,
11:00
Speaker 1: people show they like you said, you wear your emotions
11:02
Speaker 1: on your skin. Sometimes you know when your sleeve I
11:04
Speaker 1: should say. So, now with that being said, how do
11:07
Speaker 1: you talk to somebody in a talk to tash session
11:10
Speaker 1: about their business? How do you focus that person in? Yeah?
11:15
Speaker 1: So usually I come up with Usually a strategy will
11:18
Speaker 1: come up. Right, the first thing that comes up is
11:20
Speaker 1: the business, Like, hey, it's coming up to me that
11:22
Speaker 1: you have a passion to start a business. Yes, something's
11:25
Speaker 1: come up through with real estate. Real estate may come
11:27
Speaker 1: up and I'm like, okay, great, how you can get
11:30
Speaker 1: involved in real estate? Get involved with I don't know Airbnb,
11:32
Speaker 1: this like I give them the road map basically, what's
11:34
Speaker 1: coming up for me for them to really thrive within
11:37
Speaker 1: the space of real estate for example. Right, so it
11:40
Speaker 1: comes up for me intuitively what it is, and then
11:42
Speaker 1: I tell them what they need to do to propel
11:44
Speaker 1: in the area. If I'm making sense, but what makes
11:46
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I'm talking to tash Leah Hamilton's
11:49
Speaker 1: she's an intuitive coach in other words, life coach. In
11:52
Speaker 1: other words, I wouldn't say she um kids gifts and
11:56
Speaker 1: her gifts allow her to be able to get you
12:01
Speaker 1: focused on what your life or path you should take.
12:04
Speaker 1: Because that's the key. Because I'm gonna keep bringing that
12:07
Speaker 1: more and more because reaching your perfect guests for me
12:09
Speaker 1: on money making conversation, because I'm always telling people is
12:11
Speaker 1: that you know I'm talking about you know, leave with
12:13
Speaker 1: your gifts. You know, uh, don't let your friends, family
12:16
Speaker 1: or co workers stop you from planning or reaching your dreams.
12:21
Speaker 1: And so basically you're just doing what I say as
12:24
Speaker 1: an intuitive coach, You're you're finding these people, You're setting
12:28
Speaker 1: them down, whether it's a business or relationship or career
12:32
Speaker 1: saying Okay, I know you love basketball. I know you
12:36
Speaker 1: play basketball, but you're really talented as a musical artist.
12:40
Speaker 1: So so put down the basketball, treat it as a hobby.
12:44
Speaker 1: Let's let's come on over here. But how do you
12:47
Speaker 1: read into that? Isn't through conversation or just people have
12:52
Speaker 1: a certain or passion that they don't understand they have
12:56
Speaker 1: or don't value it. That's the key right now in
12:59
Speaker 1: the conversation because becuse of the fact that you said
13:02
Speaker 1: something through your gift, why doesn't that person acknowledge it?
13:06
Speaker 1: Or they just don't want to admit that's the direction
13:08
Speaker 1: their life should take them. Yeah, I think it's a
13:11
Speaker 1: combination of many things. You know, Oftentimes people are afraid
13:14
Speaker 1: of their own talents. They're afraid of taking a leap
13:17
Speaker 1: of faith. I was one of them, right, it's the
13:19
Speaker 1: matter of putting in the work to make those things happen.
13:22
Speaker 1: It may be easier to prick up the basketball as
13:24
Speaker 1: opposed to starting a business, so most people want to
13:27
Speaker 1: take the easy route. They want to say, I'd rather
13:29
Speaker 1: just played safe and play the basketball, even though this
13:31
Speaker 1: is my talent and I think about this every day,
13:34
Speaker 1: I would rather play safe because success is not an
13:37
Speaker 1: easy route. You have to work for your success, and
13:40
Speaker 1: people don't want to put in the work. But Sean
13:42
Speaker 1: they don't They want to go with the ticket, they
13:44
Speaker 1: want the answers they wanted to be given to them.
13:47
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. And so in our session,
13:50
Speaker 1: I say, hey, this is what it's supposed to be.
13:52
Speaker 1: It's going to take this, that, and this. But in
13:54
Speaker 1: the end of that road, here's the benefit. Here's the reward.
13:58
Speaker 1: They need to see that, they need to understand and
14:00
Speaker 1: that there's light there for them if they put the
14:02
Speaker 1: work in, and so I bring that out of them. Okay,
14:04
Speaker 1: here's the here's the key term. You said a lot
14:06
Speaker 1: of people try to take the easy route. One could say,
14:10
Speaker 1: coming to you is an easy route? Is that true?
14:15
Speaker 1: Kind of you know, I would like to jokingly say,
14:18
Speaker 1: on the cheat cold to life because I'm hoping you
14:20
Speaker 1: and cover the truth. However, it's still your decision. And
14:23
Speaker 1: that's why I say I leave your past, your present
14:26
Speaker 1: and the possibility of your future, because if you choose
14:29
Speaker 1: to listen to the information I give you, great If
14:31
Speaker 1: you don't, then you know, whatever the results are, they are.
14:34
Speaker 1: I can't make you do anything. It's it's your fault,
14:36
Speaker 1: is your life. That's the key right there. Okay, cool,
14:38
Speaker 1: Because I was messing with it, I kind of knew
14:40
Speaker 1: the answer when I said it's a cheat or an
14:43
Speaker 1: easy route. We'll be right back with more money making
14:45
Speaker 1: conversation with two initive life coach tosh Lee Hamilton's It's
14:49
Speaker 1: finally here, the season of celebration, and no matter how

16:47
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Money Making Conversation. As I continue my
16:50
Speaker 1: conversation with intusive life coach top Leith Hamilton's I'm a teaser.
16:56
Speaker 1: She could tell you look loizard. Some layman terms you
16:59
Speaker 1: can tell you nor so you are going to be
17:01
Speaker 1: an incredible basketball player. Okay? Cool? Really okay, But what
17:07
Speaker 1: she's that's the that's the cheat right there. She's telling
17:09
Speaker 1: you what you could be. Now the hard work part
17:14
Speaker 1: is accomplishing what she said you can be the same thing.
17:18
Speaker 1: She could tell you, know something, you should go into business? What? What? What? What? Oh?
17:22
Speaker 1: You wanted to open the line of such and such
17:25
Speaker 1: she's said, you go, yes, well you should follow that dream. Okay,
17:30
Speaker 1: that's the cheat. But the hard work is what she
17:35
Speaker 1: telling you you have to put into it. So the
17:38
Speaker 1: cheat is there. It might be an easy moment of
17:42
Speaker 1: you skipping a line and focus on you. That's all
17:45
Speaker 1: she's doing, y'all. She's focusing you to understand this is
17:49
Speaker 1: the path you should go on. But what she's not
17:52
Speaker 1: telling you, and what she can't tell you, is how
17:55
Speaker 1: hard you are are willing to work for that dream?
17:59
Speaker 1: Talk about that's it. But that's that's the truth with Sean.
18:02
Speaker 1: I mean there it is blatantly. You know, I tell
18:04
Speaker 1: people I'm here as a resource to you. I would
18:07
Speaker 1: give you the road map, I would give you the resource.
18:09
Speaker 1: So'll give you everything that you need. But if you
18:11
Speaker 1: choose not to do it, and that is your call.
18:14
Speaker 1: And often times people come to me for more than
18:16
Speaker 1: one session and they take note or they record and
18:19
Speaker 1: they're like, gosh, this happened. This happened. Everything's great, but
18:22
Speaker 1: this didn't happen yet. And I'm like, well, what do
18:24
Speaker 1: you not say? Well that said I have to do X,
18:26
Speaker 1: Y and Z. I'm like, what did you do it? No?
18:28
Speaker 1: With then here we are right. So it's really the
18:31
Speaker 1: matter of taking accountability with your own life. I'm a resource,
18:34
Speaker 1: but I can't control what you're supposed to do. That's
18:37
Speaker 1: up to you. What are they outlets that you are
18:40
Speaker 1: available on that my fan base who are the watching
18:43
Speaker 1: or listening to this podcast or talk show can reach
18:46
Speaker 1: you at Tosh absolutely so I would love for people
18:49
Speaker 1: to found me on Instagram. My Instagram has talked to
18:52
Speaker 1: Tosh nine to two and that is spelled out t
18:56
Speaker 1: A l K t O t A s H nine
19:00

19:02
Speaker 1: randomly read people lives. If you request me, I will

19:13
Speaker 1: the area. I'm gonna tell your something. See, I know,

Speaker 1: She's consulting more than four hundred people per month and
19:23
Speaker 1: it's growing four hundred. I'm gonna tell you about my
19:27
Speaker 1: relationship with Okay, here's a young lady. To see. I
19:30
Speaker 1: was her cheat, I was her cheap okay. And because
19:35
Speaker 1: I always felt that, you know, I look at people
19:37
Speaker 1: and I could pick them out out of Steve hard
19:39
Speaker 1: you stall always get any in me. I go on
19:42
Speaker 1: remors that I don't waste your time with that person.
19:45
Speaker 1: How you know, I just know that person of the
19:47
Speaker 1: wets your time and so and so when I met
19:50
Speaker 1: this talented young lady, tosh Leo Hamilton's, she had a gift,
19:55
Speaker 1: but she was doing another job, a well paid job. Okay,
19:59
Speaker 1: don't don't even rosy. It's hard to make people make
20:02
Speaker 1: decisions when they're comfortable, and so I was. I wanted
20:07
Speaker 1: to push her out of her comfortable state. So I
20:10
Speaker 1: felt was her proper landing place and what she's doing
20:13
Speaker 1: now today. So talk to people about that big push
20:17
Speaker 1: I gave you, Tash and making that push. It enabled
20:22
Speaker 1: you now to start fulfilling your dream because back then
20:24
Speaker 1: you could not have talked before her to people per month. No,
20:28
Speaker 1: and I just firstly promisel, I want to start up
20:30
Speaker 1: with gratitude to you with Sean, because I think of
20:32
Speaker 1: you every single day because I'm so grateful for the push.
20:36
Speaker 1: You know, I working for a fit. I was an
20:38
Speaker 1: executive in my own city and I had a good job.
20:41
Speaker 1: I was making good money and I met Rashwan and
20:44
Speaker 1: we were trying to work on the show and get
20:46
Speaker 1: me on television, and we got this close so many times.
20:49
Speaker 1: But I think the reason was me balancing corporate guests,
20:53
Speaker 1: corporate my guests, and Rashan, you poked me to the
20:55
Speaker 1: side and you said to me, the only way that
20:58
Speaker 1: you're gonna reach your maximum success is if you leave
21:01
Speaker 1: your job to give this a hundred percent. It is
21:03
Speaker 1: not gonna be what it needs to be if you
21:06
Speaker 1: do not leave a job. And I was like, no,
21:08
Speaker 1: I need my salary, I need to work pushaw you understand,
21:12
Speaker 1: and you said, listen to me, if you do not
21:14
Speaker 1: leave your job and take a leap of faith and trust,
21:17
Speaker 1: this will not work for you. And that conversation stayed
21:20
Speaker 1: in my head. Every day I stepped behind the desk,
21:22
Speaker 1: I heard your voice in my ear, literally no exaggeration,
21:26
Speaker 1: and I just spoke up my day and I said,
21:28
Speaker 1: I need to take the leap of faith. But Sean
21:30
Speaker 1: said that I need to do this, and I'm gonna
21:32
Speaker 1: do and I took your way and I trust and
21:34
Speaker 1: thank you for that because now I'm helping thousands of
21:37
Speaker 1: people annually around the globe, four hundred clients a mom
21:40
Speaker 1: at plus and it is growing. And I'm just thankful
21:43
Speaker 1: that I'm able to impact so many lives. And that's
21:45
Speaker 1: thank you to you. Well, you know, thank you, you know,
21:49
Speaker 1: I say. The part of the story was that I
21:52
Speaker 1: gave her advice. Did I disappear? No, not really. You're
21:57
Speaker 1: always here. I'm always there, but you don't like I said.
22:00
Speaker 1: You know, advice is how you accept it. And I
22:03
Speaker 1: said that when I said disappeared, I wasn't there. And
22:05
Speaker 1: she's gonna disappear. And it's since that she can't she
22:08
Speaker 1: can't write out applications, she can't make you do push up,
22:12
Speaker 1: she can't make you get up at four thirty or
22:15
Speaker 1: five thirty every morning. She's not gonna physically be there,
22:18
Speaker 1: so she's gonna disappear from the standpoint of In order
22:21
Speaker 1: for you to achieve the goals that the dreams or
22:24
Speaker 1: the expectations that she feeled through her life coach in twuitiveness,
22:29
Speaker 1: you have to do it yourself. And so even though
22:32
Speaker 1: I had this intuition and then Lord knows, I am
22:35
Speaker 1: not Tosh believe me about her, but I but I
22:38
Speaker 1: knew that looking at her, she was happy kind of
22:42
Speaker 1: but she was always talking about whenever she talked about
22:45
Speaker 1: her gifts, she laid up and she she was confident,
22:48
Speaker 1: and she started bragging a little bit. You know, she
22:51
Speaker 1: danced around a little bit, and she has this really,
22:53
Speaker 1: really a great smile. And so when she talked about
22:56
Speaker 1: a job, she come down. When you don't do this,
22:59
Speaker 1: it was like you could tell. It was like, Uh,
23:03
Speaker 1: if she didn't have this other gift, she'd be very
23:05
Speaker 1: successful at it. But that wasn't what made her excited
23:08
Speaker 1: about life. And that's what you're talking about. When you're
23:11
Speaker 1: giving people life coach advice. You're trying to push everybody,
23:15
Speaker 1: not just a couple of people, everybody in the direction
23:18
Speaker 1: of what makes you happy and if that makes you happy,
23:21
Speaker 1: find out if you can make money with it and
23:23
Speaker 1: make a living at it and then lead you to
23:27
Speaker 1: a path of happiness for the rest of your life,
23:29
Speaker 1: your legacy. That's it. Yeah, And I work with a
23:32
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities in the industry. I work with a
23:34
Speaker 1: lot of top executives of fortune Pussian companies, and I
23:37
Speaker 1: give them the road back to make more money, to
23:39
Speaker 1: be more successful. The thought I'm giving them rode back
23:42
Speaker 1: to that, and a lot of them are extremely, extremely
23:45
Speaker 1: successful as a result of the information that I gave them.
23:47
Speaker 1: You know, to Wanda Braxton, one of my good friends
23:50
Speaker 1: from the Braxon family values, people I know very well,
23:54
Speaker 1: from Salt and Pepper, or just to name a few
23:56
Speaker 1: of the A list people that name out there. You know,
23:58
Speaker 1: she's she's a Billity, been on the Gym and mccarthur show,
24:02
Speaker 1: Angela Yee from the Breakfast Club show, lip Service. You've
24:06
Speaker 1: been out there just babbler. Ain't your girl trying to
24:10
Speaker 1: you know, make a monight to trying to make this
24:12
Speaker 1: big impact as much as possible, the money making conversations.
24:16
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna be a regular because like I gotta
24:21
Speaker 1: bring you back on my Atlanta show so you can
24:23
Speaker 1: take phone calls yea. Let me just ask you this
24:27
Speaker 1: TJ the biggest uh you know, this gift and that
24:30
Speaker 1: like that. They are always skeptics. Like you said, when
24:32
Speaker 1: you do your reads on your live Instagram account, how
24:36
Speaker 1: do people react or do they just I'm talking. I
24:38
Speaker 1: shouldn't ask you that. I should say what is the
24:41
Speaker 1: most um endearing uh smile that brings your faith? When
24:45
Speaker 1: you start reading people about their life, people get emotional.
24:49
Speaker 1: I get a lot of that, people crying. You know,
24:51
Speaker 1: I've drown men crying when they speak with me because
24:54
Speaker 1: I'm bringing up things that they are like, Wow, that
24:57
Speaker 1: is it. That's what's keeping me stock. That's where I
25:00
Speaker 1: can go to confidence, to belief in yourself. I restore
25:03
Speaker 1: that in people's lives. So it's just it's a very
25:06
Speaker 1: emotional experience in most cases because it's the truth about
25:10
Speaker 1: your life and facing that. Sometimes it's not the easiest thing,
25:13
Speaker 1: but it's necessarily well, you know, her goal whenever she
25:17
Speaker 1: has a client is to inspire, empower and possibly impact people.
25:22
Speaker 1: And you're one of those people all over the globe
25:24
Speaker 1: by where they're her intuitive ability and her goal is
25:28
Speaker 1: to help people reach and live at their highest potential.
25:31
Speaker 1: To all aspects of their life. And right there is
25:34
Speaker 1: when people get afraid and all aspects of their life.
25:37
Speaker 1: Like you said, people you know the natural thing is
25:39
Speaker 1: he cheating on me? Or he is he the one?
25:41
Speaker 1: Or she'd the one? You know? Should not marry that person?
25:43
Speaker 1: You know? Those are courtions that are are emotion. The
25:46
Speaker 1: thing I like about you you you move from that
25:49
Speaker 1: lane of emotion to professionalism, you know, And I said
25:53
Speaker 1: that means careers, business objectives, decision making and things are
25:59
Speaker 1: like that. How you're able to make that shift because
26:01
Speaker 1: you were initially about emotionally dread a mostly request that
26:06
Speaker 1: will driven by emotion. How is that whole transition to
26:10
Speaker 1: the career aspect and the business aspect been so rewarding
26:13
Speaker 1: for you as a reader? Absolutely so. I mean the
26:17
Speaker 1: deep Dive session, which is my most popular session, gives
26:20
Speaker 1: you up to sixteen minutes with me via FaceTime just
26:23
Speaker 1: like this, and I am, I pray and I literally say,
26:27
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the road map. We will cover health, wealth, love,
26:30
Speaker 1: career finances, because we need to cover all points because
26:33
Speaker 1: some things affects the other. Right, Sometimes if you're not
26:36
Speaker 1: really needs to be with your career, you may be
26:38
Speaker 1: black in your love life. Sometimes the career that you
26:40
Speaker 1: have can be causing issues in your marriage. Sometimes you
26:44
Speaker 1: know you want to buy a house, but you can't
26:45
Speaker 1: because you're not making enough money. You're not starting that
26:47
Speaker 1: business that you really want to start. So it's just
26:49
Speaker 1: it's all connected anyway. And so it's an easy transition
26:52
Speaker 1: in the conversation because I want to see you when
26:56
Speaker 1: literally in all aspects of your life and even health,
26:58
Speaker 1: health is wealth. If your health is not together, then
27:00
Speaker 1: the business and the money doesn't matter. So let's get
27:02
Speaker 1: that in tight. So we're having real, full, flexed conversations
27:06
Speaker 1: about literally everything, and those conversations can lead to financial success,
27:11
Speaker 1: life success and when when your when your clients come
27:14
Speaker 1: back to you, because these are not sessions that are
27:17
Speaker 1: wornt off. I'm just tell everybody, don't don't do do
27:19
Speaker 1: not call TAJ if you try to get a miracle
27:22
Speaker 1: in one session. This is a this is the word
27:25
Speaker 1: life coach is important that you hear, which means that
27:29
Speaker 1: you gotta be with her for a moment because she
27:30
Speaker 1: wants to be there. When as you start making your goals,
27:34
Speaker 1: because you have to reset new goals. So a lot
27:36
Speaker 1: of people fall off. When they do that, they think,
27:38
Speaker 1: woll have I made it? No? No, no, no, there's
27:40
Speaker 1: a new goal. It's just like when Tom Brady want
27:42
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? What did you say, I want to
27:44
Speaker 1: win another one? Okay he didn't say, well could and
27:48
Speaker 1: a lot of people all happened just to win one
27:49
Speaker 1: super Bowl. That's why they never get back. But you
27:52
Speaker 1: look at talent, the people where there's a Michael George
27:54
Speaker 1: or Lebron James, all these people year ound when you
27:57
Speaker 1: story like Lebron James said, why's Lebron James ain't so
28:00
Speaker 1: well at his age because he travels and spends over
28:04
Speaker 1: a million dollars annually on his physical fitness. That's why
28:09
Speaker 1: he can play like he's twenty two. And so when
28:11
Speaker 1: you come to TAGE, know that you better come there
28:14
Speaker 1: with the expectation that there's work involved, positive work, because
28:17
Speaker 1: it's about you, and don't let work scare you, especially
28:21
Speaker 1: when you're for the first time in your life. She's
28:23
Speaker 1: gonna point you in the direction of happiness, and that
28:26
Speaker 1: happiness would be achieved through your goals that she's gonna
28:29
Speaker 1: put in place once she reads you. That put it
28:32
Speaker 1: in perspective, that put it in place correctly, Tosh, that
28:36
Speaker 1: is exactly what I do. Well. You know the thing
28:38
Speaker 1: about it is that again she's a friend of the
28:40
Speaker 1: family and I take no credit for her gift. I
28:43
Speaker 1: take no credit for her success. It's just that relationships
28:47
Speaker 1: are equally important your life, and I'm a positive relationship
28:49
Speaker 1: in her life. I'm a mentor in her life. And
28:52
Speaker 1: because we all need that, she wants to become a
28:54
Speaker 1: mentor in your life. To reach out to on an
28:57
Speaker 1: Instagram account as well and go to the website. More importantly,
29:02
Speaker 1: know that she's there for you. I'm a friend, um.
29:05
Speaker 1: I would like to say, you know, I'm a member
29:07
Speaker 1: of the family from the standpoint of how much I
29:10
Speaker 1: respect you, Tash, and how much I want you to win. Okay,
29:14
Speaker 1: thank you for everything that you've done for me. I'm
29:16
Speaker 1: so thankful for you. We will be right back with
29:18
Speaker 1: more Money Making Conversation with Rushan McDonald. You are now
29:23
Speaker 1: tuned into the Money Making Conversations Minute of Inspiration with
29:27
Speaker 1: Rushan McDonald. This week, I said that with What Winning
29:30
Speaker 1: Multimedia Maverick Talent Manager, Executive Abusive Arthur and CEO Mona
29:34
Speaker 1: Scott Young, she provides advice on taking the time to
29:37
Speaker 1: appreciate where you are. You gotta keep it and keep
29:40
Speaker 1: it moving. But you know what I've been thinking about
29:41
Speaker 1: a lot rasant lately, just the need to sit still
29:44
Speaker 1: for a minute and to appreciate who you are right
29:46
Speaker 1: now in the moment. And it's not about I mean complacent.
29:50
Speaker 1: It's about taking stock and showing yourself appreciation right for
29:55
Speaker 1: what you've a published and then using that to propel
29:57
Speaker 1: you to the next stage. Because a lot of times,
30:00
Speaker 1: like you said, well, go go, go, go go, that
30:02
Speaker 1: we don't stop to really recognize where we've come from,
30:06
Speaker 1: where we are in the moment, and how we can
30:08
Speaker 1: take all of that experience, knowledge, know how you know,
30:13
Speaker 1: and and use it as we move forward. If we
30:16
Speaker 1: were to listen to this four interview with Mona Scott
30:18
Speaker 1: Young is available on Mindy Making Conversations dot com. Now
30:22
Speaker 1: let's return to money Making Conversation with Rushan McDonald. Progressive
30:26
Speaker 1: Forest metaphors about bundling your homon auto and sports three
30:31
Speaker 1: goals is a hat trick, and when you bundle your
30:33
Speaker 1: home and auto with Progressive, you get a hat trick
30:35
Speaker 1: of great savings and around the clock protection. So you
30:37
Speaker 1: might be thinking, wait, that's two things. A hat trick
30:39
Speaker 1: is three, but in this metaphor, great savings counts as
30:42
Speaker 1: two goals and sewed us around the clock protection, so
30:44
Speaker 1: it's like four goals and that's more than three. It's
30:47
Speaker 1: basic math. Forest metaphors by Progressive Bundle and protect today
30:52
Speaker 1: Progressive centulty in Trance Company, and ifially get discounting of
30:54
Speaker 1: the little in all states of situations. What grows in
30:57
Speaker 1: the forest trees, sure know what else grows in the forest.
31:01
Speaker 1: Our imagination, our sense of wonder, and our family bonds
31:05
Speaker 1: grow too, because when we disconnect from this and connect
31:11
Speaker 1: with this, we reconnect with each other. The forest is
31:15
Speaker 1: closer than you think. Find a forest near you and
31:18
Speaker 1: start exploring. I discover the Forest dot Org, brought to
31:22
Speaker 1: you by the United States Forest Service and the AD Council.
31:26
Speaker 1: If I could be you and you could be me
31:29
Speaker 1: for just one hour, if you could find a way
31:31
Speaker 1: to get inside each other's mind, walcome mile in my shoes.
31:36
Speaker 1: Wacome mile in my shoes, walcome shoes. We've all felt
31:40
Speaker 1: left out, and for some that feeling lasts more than

32:21
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma and Arkansas. You know I had to say
32:24
Speaker 1: that because I'm a Texas boy. I got to go

Speaker 1: let everybody. Whenever somebody come near Texas, I got little
32:29
Speaker 1: my up front. She is a graduate of Harvard University,

Speaker 1: a rebel, please work with the money making conversation. But
32:59
Speaker 1: if her first time, not the last time. A Leah Williams,
33:03
Speaker 1: how you doing, Leo? You know I'm doing all right
33:06
Speaker 1: this morning. It's lovely to be here with you. Well.
33:08
Speaker 1: The beauty of this doing visual and doing video. I
33:12
Speaker 1: can see this brilliant smile that you have is it
33:14
Speaker 1: has to be a blessing to be able to deliver
33:18
Speaker 1: a smile like that, especially when you meet people. You
33:21
Speaker 1: you're pitching ideas and your smile it is sunshine, young ladies, sunshine,
33:26
Speaker 1: tell us about that. Tell you about my smile. Absolutely,
33:30
Speaker 1: come on, because you come on, come on the live.
33:32
Speaker 1: This ain't the first time you've been complimented about this
33:35
Speaker 1: fantastic smile. This smile has been you to close deals.
33:39
Speaker 1: This smile has been you to get in building she's
33:42
Speaker 1: not supposed to be in. I know this smile and
33:46
Speaker 1: this is gonna go SI you talking about this person,
33:50
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. But I have to give all
33:53
Speaker 1: that credit to my mother's Stay William. I think that
33:58
Speaker 1: she would say to me every day, every morning, she
34:01
Speaker 1: would say this to me and my sister Kia, smile
34:04
Speaker 1: and the world will smile with you. And she would
34:08
Speaker 1: she would say that, and she'd always sell us to
34:09
Speaker 1: close their mouths and listen. I didn't always do that,
34:12
Speaker 1: but the smile in the world will smile with you
34:15
Speaker 1: is um, something that I've always carried with me and um,
34:20
Speaker 1: you know, there are definitely situations where it is hard
34:23
Speaker 1: to smile, UM, but I definitely try to bring that
34:28
Speaker 1: into all aspects of my life, UM, and especially in
34:32
Speaker 1: the stories that I want to tell. For black people,
34:34
Speaker 1: I think we deserve joy. And you know, it's one
34:38
Speaker 1: of the reasons why, uh my logo for my company,
34:41
Speaker 1: I've wanted to find the brightest yellow possible, um ok,
34:46
Speaker 1: that we deserve joy. I mean yeah, even even the
34:49
Speaker 1: drama UM projects that I have, there are some levity
34:53
Speaker 1: to them because I do believe that, UM, too many
34:56
Speaker 1: times black stories are relegated to the drama that we
35:00
Speaker 1: carry versus all of the other amazing aspects that we
35:05
Speaker 1: are as a people. Well, you know the reason I
35:07
Speaker 1: bring that up because when you come on my show,
35:09
Speaker 1: I'm a guy, I'm a very visual guy, and I
35:11
Speaker 1: noticed things and that's my third eye, I can see things,
35:14
Speaker 1: and I see blessings. And your smile is a blessing.
35:17
Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't realize that that's just
35:19
Speaker 1: those simple gifts that God give you can enable you to,
35:23
Speaker 1: you know, make your dreams come true, enable you to
35:26
Speaker 1: o well, create opportunities that wouldn't be available for ordinary people.
35:30
Speaker 1: And it's it's important to take advantage of all these talents.
35:33
Speaker 1: That's one talent, your ability is that you're very articulate
35:38
Speaker 1: and so and you know, because we once you say,
35:40
Speaker 1: as Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas. You know, they always have these
35:44
Speaker 1: stereotypes and then when they throw this then you're black.
35:47
Speaker 1: That's even deeper stereotypes. And then you're throwing at the
35:50
Speaker 1: front of your resume Harvard graduate. Come on girl, come
35:53
Speaker 1: on now, yes, yes, no, I I'm very proud of
36:01
Speaker 1: the opportunities that you know, my my parents pushed me
36:04
Speaker 1: towards and that I, um, you know, actively work towards.
36:09
Speaker 1: And um I had a wonderful experience at Harvard UM.
36:14
Speaker 1: You know, going there is an eighteen year old after
36:16
Speaker 1: growing up in the South and the Midwest, UM was
36:20
Speaker 1: definitely a culture shock in a lot of different ways.
36:22
Speaker 1: But It just opened me up to so many incredible people,
36:26
Speaker 1: so many incredible experiences, UM and UM really shaped who
36:31
Speaker 1: I am in a lot of different ways. And UM.
36:35
Speaker 1: You know, one thing that will say about a Harvard
36:38
Speaker 1: College education, like it's not necessarily about what you concentrated in,
36:43
Speaker 1: like what your major was. Um, it really was a
36:45
Speaker 1: curriculum that challenged you to think and how do you
36:49
Speaker 1: um open up your perspective on the world. UM And
36:53
Speaker 1: so uh and you know, so many of the people
36:56
Speaker 1: that I met UM from that time are still uh
37:00
Speaker 1: a huge part of my life in a lot of
37:03
Speaker 1: different ways. UM. I you know, I'm I'm a little
37:07
Speaker 1: sad this morning because this weekend I lost one of
37:10
Speaker 1: my dearest friends who lost her battle with cancer. Double
37:14
Speaker 1: Harvard graduate Christina Donaldson, who was a big sister to
37:17
Speaker 1: me and also a beacon in terms of her entrepreneurial
37:21
Speaker 1: journey UM as the founder of Thank God I'm Natural
37:25
Speaker 1: hair product line. UM. But anyway, Harvard was a wonderful
37:29
Speaker 1: experience and I'm super glad that that's part of who
37:32
Speaker 1: I am. Well, you know, I'm a cancer survivor. So
37:35
Speaker 1: when everyone anyone, I lose a friend, use a caller
37:38
Speaker 1: A friend. And I don't know her, but I know
37:40
Speaker 1: she fought the same battle that I'm fighting all the time.
37:42
Speaker 1: Because just because you surviving doesn't necessarily mean that cancer
37:45
Speaker 1: is not going to come back. But what it does
37:47
Speaker 1: allow me to understand that you have to live your
37:49
Speaker 1: life and your dreams are possible as long as you
37:52
Speaker 1: planned them't so, and I see you as a planner,
37:55
Speaker 1: you know, because of the fact that you have never
37:57
Speaker 1: let stereotypes, stereotype of being an African America from female stereotype,
38:01
Speaker 1: coming from the South, coming from Oklahoma, aucashol And then
38:05
Speaker 1: you went to Harvard, you graduated, How did you migrate
38:08
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles? Leah? You know it was? It was.
38:12
Speaker 1: It was a fun, windy worad Um. I didn't necessarily,
38:15
Speaker 1: you know, coming from having Southern black parents. After going
38:19
Speaker 1: to Harvard, they were like, Okay, you're going to bed school.
38:21
Speaker 1: You want to be in school? Like what graduate school
38:23
Speaker 1: are you doing? And I really wasn't clear. Um. So
38:26
Speaker 1: I worked in financial services in New York and Chicago
38:30
Speaker 1: and strategy UM, and I did, like every you know
38:33
Speaker 1: other good graduate of my class was preparing my applications
38:37
Speaker 1: to business school. UM and gratefully I am an alum
38:41
Speaker 1: of the Ron Brown Scholar Program, and they put on
38:44
Speaker 1: a conference. Um the first time they put on a
38:47
Speaker 1: conference about the arts and entertainment industry. UM and UH,
38:51
Speaker 1: a wonderful man, Charles King gave a fireside chat about
38:55
Speaker 1: his life as a super agent, and I was like,
38:56
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so interesting. It was like
38:58
Speaker 1: the first time that I heard the the phrase like,
39:00
Speaker 1: you know, the intersection of art and commerce, which was
39:03
Speaker 1: so interesting to me. UM. Malcolm d Lee gave a
39:07
Speaker 1: talk about how he had, you know, put together the
39:10
Speaker 1: best man and UM, I just connected with a lot
39:12
Speaker 1: of different folks that showed me that there was this
39:15
Speaker 1: creative path that I didn't realize was a real career UM.
39:20
Speaker 1: And so I was unfulfilled in what I was doing.
39:23
Speaker 1: I was doing well, but it just didn't completely feel
39:26
Speaker 1: all every aspect of who I am. And so UM,
39:30
Speaker 1: I took the leap. I quit my job. You know,
39:33
Speaker 1: I had friends out in l A who were in
39:35
Speaker 1: very studies as a film school, and I moved out
39:38
Speaker 1: to l A, drove across country from New York and
39:41
Speaker 1: UM a week after I got here, after having some
39:43
Speaker 1: informational UH coffees and conversations with literally anyone that I
39:48
Speaker 1: could connect within my network. Um I started working in
39:53
Speaker 1: the mail room at Endeavor, one of the major talent
39:57
Speaker 1: agencies which is now called w ME. But um I
40:00
Speaker 1: started in the mail room. After two weeks, one of
40:04
Speaker 1: the partners put me in the motion picture lit group,
40:07
Speaker 1: which was a great experience to really kind of get
40:10
Speaker 1: to know the industry. UM and hone my ability to
40:15
Speaker 1: you know, read scripts, understand different writers and directors, get
40:19
Speaker 1: a sense of what my taste was in a lot
40:22
Speaker 1: of different ways. And you know, from that one year
40:25
Speaker 1: of working at the agency, um one of the agents
40:28
Speaker 1: connected me with my first job out of the agency,
40:31
Speaker 1: working for an incredible producer, Effie Brown. But let's go
40:36
Speaker 1: back to that mail room experience because a lot of
40:38
Speaker 1: people don't realize that that is how you break into
40:41
Speaker 1: the big agency world is the mail room. And uh
40:45
Speaker 1: a lot often times the mail room doesn't come with pay,
40:48
Speaker 1: and your situation would and so a lot of people
40:50
Speaker 1: don't know that. You know, so you work in the middle.
40:53
Speaker 1: This did come with pay, was a lot of pay, right,
40:57
Speaker 1: So it feels like no pay, don't I'm just saying
41:00
Speaker 1: it feels like no pay coming from you know, I was,
41:03
Speaker 1: I had a decent salary and four oh one case
41:08
Speaker 1: like my dad was like, so we wait. And that's
41:11
Speaker 1: the funny part about this conversation that you're having with
41:13
Speaker 1: your parents, Like when I when I told my mom
41:15
Speaker 1: and dad, you know, I go to your age and
41:17
Speaker 1: get a math degree, mind and sociology, and then I
41:20
Speaker 1: go work for IBM, and I tell them I'm equited
41:22
Speaker 1: to be a stand up comedian. So that's the extreme. Okay,
41:25
Speaker 1: that's what I told my parents, all right, and they went, okay,
41:28
Speaker 1: we love you, but humble. So you go from Oklahoma, Texas,
41:33
Speaker 1: go to Harvard, right, I got this great job in
41:36
Speaker 1: New York. Drive across the country and you're working in
41:38
Speaker 1: the mayor room for way less money. Talk about that conversation,
41:42
Speaker 1: because that's where a lot of people don't understand that
41:44
Speaker 1: you have to sacrifice and then also times you got
41:47
Speaker 1: to take a step back to take to take some steps.
41:50
Speaker 1: If that's a step back though, you know, when you
41:52
Speaker 1: when I hear people say that, because that's part of
41:54
Speaker 1: the process, because you said going out on faith. When
41:57
Speaker 1: you're going out on faith, that means that there's a
42:00
Speaker 1: plan in process, and you know, like you know, and
42:02
Speaker 1: I know. If you want to get in the big agency,
42:04
Speaker 1: you gotta get in that mail room. And when you're
42:06
Speaker 1: able mayor room, you have to be humble on top
42:08
Speaker 1: of your job. You keep walking around that with no attitude.
42:11
Speaker 1: You get to see all the top game You get
42:12
Speaker 1: to see stars come through those doors. You can mega
42:16
Speaker 1: producers and directors that you read about in the entertainment magazines.
42:20
Speaker 1: So you can't be oh my god, and so you
42:22
Speaker 1: have to be professional all the time. So when I
42:25
Speaker 1: don't really see as a step backwards when I hear
42:28
Speaker 1: people say that, because you said it from the beginning, Rocha,
42:31
Speaker 1: I went on faith, Faith is a plan. I would
42:33
Speaker 1: tell people you have to have a plan when you
42:35
Speaker 1: do something on faith. I'm sorry. And then, but what
42:39
Speaker 1: did your parents say when they told you you told
42:41
Speaker 1: him he was in the mail room. That's the funny,
42:42
Speaker 1: but that's the part of the conversations I want to
42:44
Speaker 1: hear a little. My dad was like, wait a minute,
42:49
Speaker 1: so you're telling me that you went to Harvard and
42:53
Speaker 1: now you're basically a goper like and I was like, okay, Dad,
43:01
Speaker 1: I want you to read this book the mail room.
43:03
Speaker 1: Like he was trying he was just you know, he
43:06
Speaker 1: was trying to work. He's like, I don't understand, but
43:12
Speaker 1: like they were super supportive. I was like, listen, I'm
43:14
Speaker 1: given myself two years to figure this out. UM. And
43:19
Speaker 1: I you know, I worked there was a company that
43:22
Speaker 1: I had studied for, the GMT with that thankfully allowed
43:26
Speaker 1: me to start working for them. And so I while
43:29
Speaker 1: I was working for you know, all my jobs working
43:32
Speaker 1: for different people as an assistant, I was also tutoring
43:36
Speaker 1: for the GMAT on the side. He would have different
43:39
Speaker 1: clients and teaching classes virtually, so that supplemented my income. Also,
43:43
Speaker 1: you know, writing coverage scripts to add add money. So
43:46
Speaker 1: you just do what you gotta do. And then, UM,
43:49
Speaker 1: you know, my path was always working for other people
43:52
Speaker 1: while also making content on my own with different writers
43:56
Speaker 1: and directors in my network, UM and building that way.
44:00
Speaker 1: And so you know, most of the times I would
44:03
Speaker 1: work with people who were very supportive of that. Sometimes
44:06
Speaker 1: that conflicted and you had to kind of I had
44:08
Speaker 1: to kind of navigate that. UM. But as my career
44:11
Speaker 1: went on, you know, it all merged and so you know,
44:14
Speaker 1: my jobs at UM, Like when I got to working
44:18
Speaker 1: at Macro, UM, that was my job was to make
44:21
Speaker 1: content and I always told Charles it was. It was
44:23
Speaker 1: my dream job at the time, which was wonderful because
44:27
Speaker 1: I got to learn from him and people like Poppy
44:29
Speaker 1: Hanks and can Roth and UM really had a lot
44:33
Speaker 1: of um I'd say, license to not just do short
44:38
Speaker 1: form content, but also to explore and learn about long
44:42
Speaker 1: form content. And so, you know, one of the first
44:45
Speaker 1: digital projects that I brought up in UM became the
44:49
Speaker 1: television show Hint to Side that is now in its
44:51
Speaker 1: second season on Netflix. UM and I was the one
44:54
Speaker 1: that brought in the movie Really Love, written by Felicia
44:58
Speaker 1: Pride and directed by Angel Christie Williams, who also co
45:02
Speaker 1: wrote the script, and UM, you know, after after making
45:07
Speaker 1: that movie, we'll be right back with more money making
45:09
Speaker 1: conversation with television and film producer A Leah Williams. Adoption

Speaker 1: come on down right. It's like it's like, Angel, those
48:40
Speaker 1: are fighting words. It was not true. So, um, but
48:43
Speaker 1: I was very intrigued, and she was really excited. And
48:45
Speaker 1: Angel is you know, she's very particular and I knew
48:49
Speaker 1: if it was something that was that special to her
48:50
Speaker 1: that I wanted to read it and see um. And
48:53
Speaker 1: so she gave me the script and I remember that
48:56
Speaker 1: weekend I was just gonna like take a little peek
48:58
Speaker 1: at it, but I couldn't stop reading and UM I
49:01
Speaker 1: called her immediately, and I remember, you know, the first
49:04
Speaker 1: time I sat down with her and Felicia, I knew
49:07
Speaker 1: that I needed to bring this into macro and um
49:11
Speaker 1: and yeah, and then from there we developed it UM
49:13
Speaker 1: and producing that with Charles and mel Jones, who had
49:19
Speaker 1: produced all of Angel shorts prior prior to this. UM.
49:24
Speaker 1: It was just a really um incredible process. And UM,
49:29
Speaker 1: it's a story that you know, I don't I wouldn't
49:31
Speaker 1: say that it is like love Jones. I think it
49:34
Speaker 1: has you know, this kind of like lasting style and
49:39
Speaker 1: it makes this impression on you that definitely like let's
49:42
Speaker 1: just talk about it because so you know, like, uh, Netflix,
49:46
Speaker 1: I love what they're doing with for African American culture
49:49
Speaker 1: and naturally international culture African African Americans and Africans period.
49:55
Speaker 1: Being able to to launch their projects in a hundreds
49:58
Speaker 1: and nanny countries. You're not being restricted to a domestic audience.
50:03
Speaker 1: And so your brand is being a showcase worldwide. You know. Uh,
50:08
Speaker 1: you know, I've been able to learn about wine on Netflix,
50:12
Speaker 1: you know, and then so that so I I've seen
50:15
Speaker 1: this in the art work now art my boy Michael
50:18
Speaker 1: Eally who you know he did think like a man
50:20
Speaker 1: and think like a man too to the executive produced
50:23
Speaker 1: with Steve Harvey started caring on and my boy Will Packers.
50:26
Speaker 1: So I know Michael Eliot, so I saw him in there,
50:28
Speaker 1: So okay, that's my boy. So it started picking up
50:30
Speaker 1: speed really fast with your boy here, you know what
50:33
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I got to watch it, and I
50:35
Speaker 1: got to watch a really um you know, I would
50:38
Speaker 1: think that I would say that movies should entertain and educate. Yes,
50:43
Speaker 1: and then when you do when you when it does that,
50:46
Speaker 1: then it makes an emotional impact on you. You know,
50:51
Speaker 1: because it doesn't entertain you, you you you out, it
50:54
Speaker 1: doesn't educate you, then what are you watching? You know
50:56
Speaker 1: you have to walk away with I don't know what
50:59
Speaker 1: I watching. It was what okay, So so this movie
51:02
Speaker 1: gave me the three things that I needed. It entertained me,
51:05
Speaker 1: it educated me, and it pulled an emotion and emotion
51:08
Speaker 1: was tied to art and ar like you have a
51:12
Speaker 1: beautiful if you see this, if you're on my podcast
51:15
Speaker 1: audio wise, just as beautiful African art behind her, and
51:19
Speaker 1: it just happens to be women. And uh as we
51:21
Speaker 1: all know, you know, you know, her company just a
51:24
Speaker 1: rebel works on project that brings the voices of Black
51:27
Speaker 1: women in their black stories. So this is appropriate this conversation.
51:31
Speaker 1: We haven't. And so when you tell a story that's important,
51:34
Speaker 1: especially in any relationship, you're defining the voice of a woman.
51:38
Speaker 1: What's the key I guess language are angle that you're
51:42
Speaker 1: looking for to make sure that the message of empowerment
51:45
Speaker 1: and proper decision making is put out there correctly. Well,
51:50
Speaker 1: I will say, um, one of the things that drew
51:52
Speaker 1: me to it, Uh, you know, just even from the
51:55
Speaker 1: initial script, I know that Um, Felicia Pride, the writer
52:00
Speaker 1: who had you know, had been working on the store
52:03
Speaker 1: for a while. Her mangle was to show black women
52:07
Speaker 1: and you know, young black people as themselves, you know, loving,
52:15
Speaker 1: loving each other, striving together, striving for their aspirations and
52:21
Speaker 1: um and showing that in a real way where you
52:25
Speaker 1: you you fail, you make mistakes. So UM, I think
52:30
Speaker 1: the empowerment comes from just being able to see yourself
52:36
Speaker 1: as a real, whole human. Um. You know, I don't
52:40
Speaker 1: necessarily go into projects saying, Okay, how can I show
52:45
Speaker 1: the most positive UM portrayal of a character. I really
52:51
Speaker 1: go into them thinking, you know, is this authentic? Is
52:56
Speaker 1: this interesting? Um? Are they're compelling stays for this character?
53:01
Speaker 1: And you know whether there's uh comedic ask tone to
53:06
Speaker 1: it or a more serious and dramatic tone to it. Um.
53:10
Speaker 1: I just wanted to feel um, real and thoughtful. Well.
53:16
Speaker 1: You know the thing this movie touched me in a
53:19
Speaker 1: lot of ways emotionally because of the fact that Suzanne Douglas. Uh.
53:24
Speaker 1: One of my first writing projects I did in five
53:27
Speaker 1: was with Robert Townsend's Parenthood, and she's one of the
53:31
Speaker 1: co stars in that series and and so and I'm
53:34
Speaker 1: Blair I Underwood, who I know as well. But seeing
53:36
Speaker 1: Suzanne and she was just one of her last projects
53:39
Speaker 1: that she did before she passed away, But that was
53:43
Speaker 1: I was just you know, just seeing her the gifts
53:46
Speaker 1: her talent radio on that screen like that. It really
53:51
Speaker 1: just lets me know the blessings of seeing people like

Speaker 1: do want to say the experience of working with Sudann
55:08
Speaker 1: Douglas was absolutely incredible. I mean she was just a
55:11
Speaker 1: light on set every single time. And I remember like
55:14

55:30
Speaker 1: And it's just but it wasn't any type of like
55:33
Speaker 1: you know, um, there was nothing um, you know, negative
55:39
Speaker 1: to what she was saying. She was just saying it
55:41
Speaker 1: was so much love and so much affirmation. And she
55:45
Speaker 1: just every time, um, every time I saw her on set,
55:48
Speaker 1: she would always pantingly the side and just and just
55:50
Speaker 1: tell me, like keep going, like you have to do.

Speaker 1: and this is not condescending. You're special because I'm gonna
56:20
Speaker 1: jay this. I've been in rules pitching projects. You know,
56:23

56:26
Speaker 1: to give you money to be creative in this world. Okay,
56:29
Speaker 1: they're not just passing out checks that they don't because
