1:32
Speaker 1: Let me give you some quotes from some recent um
1:35
Speaker 1: newspaper and magazines and USA Today dated January. He was
1:41
Speaker 1: called the most powerful talent in the sports business just
1:43
Speaker 1: a year ago, and he followed it up with his
1:46
Speaker 1: best years of professional First Take had his highest rated
1:49
Speaker 1: ever ratings ever since. It's this is large nearly a
1:52
Speaker 1: decade ago after making the move to ESPN. Combining his
1:56
Speaker 1: quest to annihilate the competition along with management showing or
2:00
Speaker 1: belief in him than ever before, there's no reason to
2:03
Speaker 1: believe the face of ESPN will not change soon. Here's
2:07
Speaker 1: another quote from The New Yorker magazine dated June how
2:11
Speaker 1: the star First Take became ESPN's most recognizable face. Here's
2:16
Speaker 1: another quote from another article recently in USA Today dated
2:20
Speaker 1: September September. He would do anything for ESPN, but his
2:26
Speaker 1: ambitions don't stop there. I love it, please working the money,
2:30
Speaker 1: making conversations, sports and General Hospital soap opera star stephen A. Smith.
2:38
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? How are you doing? I'm doing fantastic, Steven.
2:41
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I was a star General Hospital.
2:44
Speaker 1: I gotta work on my active shot. What's going on?
2:47
Speaker 1: I'm going good man? Uh? First of all, um, just
2:50
Speaker 1: just how did that start? I wouldn't just get that
2:52
Speaker 1: out real quick because a lot of people know about it.
2:54
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know about it. But you
2:56
Speaker 1: really enjoy appearing on General Hospital as the character Brick No.
3:01
Speaker 1: I love it, um. You know, it's a lot of
3:03
Speaker 1: fun because I grew up watching the soap coming to
3:06
Speaker 1: home from school. We had a couple of TVs in
3:09
Speaker 1: my house and I had four older sisters and they
3:13
Speaker 1: were all watching General Hospital. You know, we were at
3:16
Speaker 1: ABC Family. That's why I so ironic that I'm with
3:19
Speaker 1: ESPN and the part of the Walt Disney An ABC Family,
3:23
Speaker 1: because that's the main channel we grew up watching, and um,
3:26
Speaker 1: if you wanted to watch TV after you came home
3:28
Speaker 1: from school, you had to watch in the hospital because
3:31
Speaker 1: the two TVs we had in my house, that's what
3:33
Speaker 1: the TV was on. And if you didn't want to
3:35
Speaker 1: do that, then you're gonna have to go and do
3:37
Speaker 1: your homework. So, you know, usually usually we ended up
3:40
Speaker 1: watching General Hospital. And I've been watching General Hospital since
3:44
Speaker 1: I was about seven years old and I've never stopped
3:48
Speaker 1: ever since I'm fifty, it's been about forty years and
3:52
Speaker 1: I've been watching General Hospital. And I remember one time
3:55
Speaker 1: I showed up about General Hospital and the cast there, uh,
4:00
Speaker 1: you know, try to test me. They're like, we hear
4:02
Speaker 1: that you're this guy has watched this, and they would
4:04
Speaker 1: ask me about a scene. I said, actually, no, that
4:07
Speaker 1: wasn't the seeing. This was the scene. And it was
4:09
Speaker 1: before they had even appeared on the show, and they
4:12
Speaker 1: were there for like twenty years, so it was I
4:15
Speaker 1: knew more about it than some of them did. That's awesome, hey, Steven,
4:18
Speaker 1: and I outlined some quotes from recent magazines and interviews
4:23
Speaker 1: that were the featured you. One of the quotes from
4:25
Speaker 1: that You Say Today article were actually the headlines they
4:30
Speaker 1: just September seventeen, it said you will do anything for
4:33
Speaker 1: it but for ESPN, but your ambitions don't stop there.
4:37
Speaker 1: Explain that quote the headlines. But what what what what
4:41
Speaker 1: I mean? I I you know, they put that headline
4:44
Speaker 1: in there, but it's not entirely inaccurate. I believe that
4:47
Speaker 1: any employer UH that shows the faith and the confidence
4:52
Speaker 1: in me UH to to hire me, I have an
4:56
Speaker 1: inherent obligation to give them my very best, and not
4:59
Speaker 1: just in terms of performance, but in terms of effort.
5:03
Speaker 1: I'm the kind of person that I think it's incredibly
5:05
Speaker 1: important that an employer looks at me and knows that,
5:09
Speaker 1: you know, if this man ever came to us and
5:12
Speaker 1: said something can't be done, it's because they can't be done,
5:17
Speaker 1: because this man has exhausted every option and every angle
5:20
Speaker 1: imaginable to be successful. If he can possibly be on
5:24
Speaker 1: behalf of our company and of himself. And I don't
5:29
Speaker 1: get lost in the chef. I mean, obviously I have
5:31
Speaker 1: an entrepreneurial spirit to some degree. There's a lot of
5:33
Speaker 1: things that I want to do, and there's a lot
5:35
Speaker 1: of things that I have done on my own, but
5:38
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Even if you're an
5:40
Speaker 1: entrepreneur and and you're a business owner, you're gonna answer
5:43
Speaker 1: to somebody, even if his uncle is saying, You're gonna
5:45
Speaker 1: answer the so my so, my mentality has always been
5:50
Speaker 1: make sure that the people who show faith in you,
5:53
Speaker 1: you honor the faith that they've showed in you by
5:55
Speaker 1: giving max effort and doing everything that you can uh
5:59
Speaker 1: to produce max performance. And that's really what I'm about.
6:03
Speaker 1: And that's where that quote, that quote emanates trump. I
6:06
Speaker 1: always want UM, whether it's ESPN or you know, I
6:09
Speaker 1: used to work for Fox before, I used to work
6:11
Speaker 1: for CNN before, I work the Philadelphia Inquiry before works
6:15
Speaker 1: the New York Really News before UM. And the one
6:18
Speaker 1: thing that they have in common, and you know, even
6:20
Speaker 1: for my days as an intern with the Winston Salem
6:23
Speaker 1: Journal when I was in college, the one thing that
6:26
Speaker 1: everybody has in common when it comes to me is
6:29
Speaker 1: they say the same thing. The man doesn't get out work,
6:33
Speaker 1: he will do whatever it takes uh in striving to succeed.
6:37
Speaker 1: And that's my mentality. I had a good fortune of
6:40
Speaker 1: watching you do a speaking engagement in front of college students,
6:44
Speaker 1: and I was it was like a rock star. It
6:47
Speaker 1: was like it was like watching Aids, you know. Um,
6:51
Speaker 1: it was so into your brand. How do you you
6:54
Speaker 1: say you're fifty. How does your brand resonate so well
6:59
Speaker 1: with that millennial group, of that college group. Why do
7:02
Speaker 1: you feel that such an amazing high level of appeal
7:05
Speaker 1: for you. I don't care whether you're two years old,
7:08
Speaker 1: you're twelve years old, you're twenty two year, thirty two year,
7:11
Speaker 1: forty two year, fifty two or sixty two years old. UM,
7:15
Speaker 1: I've never met anyone that gets tired of hearing truth.
7:20
Speaker 1: And that's what it really comes down to. When you
7:23
Speaker 1: look at when you look at me, you know that
7:26
Speaker 1: I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.
7:29
Speaker 1: It's not not playing. And you know if I'm gonna
7:32
Speaker 1: put if I'm gonna put myself in a line of fire,
7:35
Speaker 1: so be it. Um. It's about delivering the goods that
7:39
Speaker 1: it pertains to. Uh, someone looking at me and knowing
7:43
Speaker 1: that I'm real and I'm authentic in that regard, and
7:46
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go out of my
7:49
Speaker 1: way to sugarcoat things. I'm not trying to be disrespectful,
7:52
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hurt anybody. I'm not trying to
7:54
Speaker 1: do anything, but you know, when I was a kid,
7:56
Speaker 1: I grew up idolizing one of the people I grew
7:59
Speaker 1: up idolizing anyway, with Howard Coastell. Howard Coastells a former
8:03
Speaker 1: of a sports broadcaster UH and famous for Wide World
8:07
Speaker 1: of Sports and Monday Night Football and various other things.
8:12
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember, that's right. I remember looking at him,
8:15
Speaker 1: but also looking at various other folks on television, and
8:20
Speaker 1: I remember the authenticity of his words. You just never
8:23
Speaker 1: got the impression that he didn't mean what he said.
8:26
Speaker 1: Put On so many other occasions, watching so many people,
8:29
Speaker 1: so many other people, you could see people making a
8:33
Speaker 1: conservatives not strenuous effort uh to sugarcoat things, to come
8:39
Speaker 1: across as a bit soft pedal into for lack of
8:42
Speaker 1: a better word or phrase. And I always felt like
8:45
Speaker 1: those people are holding back, they're cheating me, because they're not.
8:49
Speaker 1: I just want to know the truth. And so as
8:51
Speaker 1: a result of that, I had always promised myself if
8:54
Speaker 1: I weever in that position, people would know I meant
8:56
Speaker 1: what the hell I said and I and I say
8:59
Speaker 1: what I mean, UM, And I think that that level
9:02
Speaker 1: of realness, uh, it breeds a level of authenticity that
9:06
Speaker 1: not only an audience trust, but it truly appreciates because
9:10
Speaker 1: it knows it's not getting from everybody. And as a result,
9:13
Speaker 1: they can rely on you at least touching a certain
9:18
Speaker 1: perspective that they may have in tinckling and tinkling their
9:21
Speaker 1: thoughts just a little bit and giving them food for thoughts.
9:24
Speaker 1: And that's what I strive to do every day. Now.
9:26
Speaker 1: With that being said, and we know that your popularity
9:29
Speaker 1: in many platforms is pretty strong, especially social media, but
9:33
Speaker 1: you're also commented on a group of athletes that are
9:37
Speaker 1: very sensitive and thin skin. How does that affect Does
9:42
Speaker 1: that affect you? Does that matter to you? Do you
9:44
Speaker 1: want to have that relationship? How does that? How does
9:47
Speaker 1: that balance happen? This stephen ame one? It affects you
9:50
Speaker 1: to some degree because obviously you know they're not they're
9:53
Speaker 1: not prone, you know, key to sit down with you're
9:56
Speaker 1: doing interview sometimes or whatever the case may be. U Um.
10:00
Speaker 1: You know where it affects me personally is if they
10:04
Speaker 1: feel that I was unfair or wrong. Those are the
10:08
Speaker 1: ways that it affects me. If they feel if they
10:11
Speaker 1: feel that I was unfair or I was wrong, because
10:14
Speaker 1: I always want to be fair and I always want
10:16
Speaker 1: to be as right as I possibly can be. Outside
10:19
Speaker 1: of that, we don't have things giving dinner together, We
10:23
Speaker 1: in exchangeing Christmas gifts. They don't pay my bills, um,
10:27
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do my job. My obligation is to
10:30
Speaker 1: my audience, my viewers, my listeners, my readers, uh and
10:34
Speaker 1: the folks that that that follow me on social media
10:37
Speaker 1: to a degree as well. My my obligation is to them.
10:41
Speaker 1: It is not to the athletes. My only obligation to
10:44
Speaker 1: the athlete is to be as fair and the strivers
10:48
Speaker 1: to be as accurate as I possibly can be. And
10:52
Speaker 1: a lot of times even when they you know, sometimes
10:54
Speaker 1: when they say that that I'm wrong, I actually laugh
10:58
Speaker 1: at them. And the reason why I laugh at them
11:00
Speaker 1: is that, okay, well then why didn't you return my call?
11:04
Speaker 1: Why didn't you return my text message? You can see
11:07
Speaker 1: that I made a concerted effort to try to speak
11:09
Speaker 1: to you, to get to the truth before I said anything.
11:15
Speaker 1: So you avoiding me and being inaccessible doesn't insulate you
11:21
Speaker 1: from me. That's not gonna work. The athletes, the athletes
11:26
Speaker 1: that I have dealt with and I've dealt with many,
11:28
Speaker 1: as you well know. The athletes that I've dealt with
11:30
Speaker 1: throughout my career, the one who really, if ever had
11:34
Speaker 1: any issue with me are the ones who who remain
11:39
Speaker 1: in contact and are accessible. You don't owe that to me,
11:43
Speaker 1: but you have to understand doing my job, I don't
11:45
Speaker 1: owe you what you think I owe you. I think
11:47
Speaker 1: we both have a job to do. And if I'm
11:49
Speaker 1: in pursuit of the truth and I call you and
11:53
Speaker 1: I text you, why confront you. I reach out to
11:56
Speaker 1: you and I see you face to face, and you
11:58
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to even give me the truth, and
12:01
Speaker 1: you passed. Don't want and moan about what my perspective
12:05
Speaker 1: is when you see me on national television speaking the
12:09
Speaker 1: millions upon millions of people because you had an opportunity
12:13
Speaker 1: to address that and you refused. That is your prerogative.
12:17
Speaker 1: And a lot of occasions, by the way, a lot
12:19
Speaker 1: of the times I've been accused of not telling the truth,
12:22
Speaker 1: they've been patently false. But you will see it on
12:24
Speaker 1: the thirties and thirty documentary or feature or something along
12:27
Speaker 1: those lines, with the exact thing that I said is
12:30
Speaker 1: exactly what they admitted to. They just didn't want it
12:33
Speaker 1: out publicly. Well, guess what, you might have had a
12:35
Speaker 1: better chance of that happening had you communicated with me
12:38
Speaker 1: when I reached out to you. And that's important that
12:40
Speaker 1: you know. When I do the show, money making conversation
12:43
Speaker 1: of it, it's just it's layers, stephen A. It's about
12:45
Speaker 1: layers from a business perspective, from a brand perspective, and
12:48
Speaker 1: also give your message out there. What who is Stephen A?
12:52
Speaker 1: Span in the in the quick nuts? Yet, who is
12:54
Speaker 1: Stephen Asmaan? Um? I'm a god faring man and who
13:01
Speaker 1: loved my mother daily with all my heart before she
13:03
Speaker 1: passed away. She's the greatest woman I've ever known, who
13:06
Speaker 1: lives every day trying to work hard to be the
13:10
Speaker 1: very very best that I can be and to do
13:13
Speaker 1: the kind of things that would make her proud. That's
13:16
Speaker 1: basically me. Everything else falls in line with that kind
13:21
Speaker 1: of thinking. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. Um. I've
13:25
Speaker 1: done things over the years that may have upset or
13:27
Speaker 1: disappointed her, but it's human far between because I've lived
13:32
Speaker 1: in my life under those principles pretty much all of
13:36
Speaker 1: my life. Because there's nobody that I loved the more.
13:39
Speaker 1: And so you know. For me, I try to be
13:42
Speaker 1: somebody that's not a phony, that tries to be as
13:46
Speaker 1: real and other and as authentic as I possibly can read. Uh,
13:50
Speaker 1: that recognizes the obligation that I have, not just to myself,
13:54
Speaker 1: but to others who placed their trust and their faith
13:57
Speaker 1: in me. Whether it be my employer, whether it be
14:01
Speaker 1: the public, whether it be my family and my loved ones,
14:05
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I try to live up to the
14:09
Speaker 1: expectations are of me because their expectations breathe from what
14:13
Speaker 1: I purported myself to be. Thank you for coming to
14:16
Speaker 1: much and thank you for sharing your story. No problem,
14:19
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Man, Y'll take it easy. Thank you
14:21
Speaker 1: for having me. Hey, man, do you think Yeah, we
14:28
Speaker 1: sort of stopped paying attention and racked up a lot
14:30
Speaker 1: of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me for
14:33
Speaker 1: my credit card debt and I blamed him for building
14:35
Speaker 1: that man cave. It's awesome anyway, we stopped blaming each
14:38
Speaker 1: other dinner homework and read that a smart way to
14:41
Speaker 1: consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan. But
14:44
Speaker 1: getting a loan was brutal and a time drain, So
14:47
Speaker 1: I was in my man cave researching personal loans and
14:50
Speaker 1: I found best Egg. They have an A plus rating
14:52
Speaker 1: with the B B B and best Egg handles everything online,
14:56
Speaker 1: start to finish, and Consumer Affairs gave best Egg five
14:59
Speaker 1: stars for their easy online loan app. And we could
15:01
Speaker 1: be approved and funded and as little as one business day.
15:04
Speaker 1: I applied online with no impact my credit score. She
15:07
Speaker 1: always takes credit from my wins. But long story short,
15:10
Speaker 1: she got an awesome loan, paid off our cards and
15:13
Speaker 1: some bills while lowering our monthly payment. The best Egg
15:16
Speaker 1: loan was like a total fresh start. Visit best egg
15:20

15:25
Speaker 1: Subject to credit approval, Actual rates, visa and approval times
15:27

15:29
Speaker 1: the delivery guy surprises you who with a bucket of
15:31
Speaker 1: hot wings and a couple of microbe brews. Yeah, that's
15:34
Speaker 1: the feeling women get when they receive flowers for absolutely
15:38
Speaker 1: no reason. So when's the last time you send her
15:40
Speaker 1: flowers just because you were thinking of her? And if
15:43
Speaker 1: she got your flowers tomorrow, what do you think her
15:45
Speaker 1: reaction might be? Well, you can times tend that when
15:48
Speaker 1: you send flowers from the books. You know the books
15:51
Speaker 1: where the flower folks with farms located on the side
15:54
Speaker 1: of a volcano that grow flowers as spectacular as she is.
15:58
Speaker 1: Books are cut from farms and delivered fresh to her
16:01
Speaker 1: so they last. And you know every day she admires
16:04
Speaker 1: your flowers is another day you're a rock star. So
16:06

Speaker 1: bill in two years, she's a multimillion dollar brand. Come on, now,
16:44
Speaker 1: she knows she's passing that some money, but all her
16:46
Speaker 1: relatives kind of trying to find her on a regular bation.
16:48
Speaker 1: She's won a lot of They think she's so rich, boy,

18:15
Speaker 1: And see the thing I know about accessories because see,
18:18
Speaker 1: like today I got my they call them suspenders, but
18:20
Speaker 1: when you pay a little money for them, they call
18:22
Speaker 1: them braces. The hold up the pains, you know, some'waring,
18:25
Speaker 1: some bracest. See, this is what they call it. Accessory.
18:28
Speaker 1: You know. See people that people that they go into
18:31
Speaker 1: the other stores, they call them suspenders. Got I got
18:36
Speaker 1: no braces. Now, when you pay a certain amount of money,
18:38
Speaker 1: they changed the name, so you do accessories. Now, I
18:44
Speaker 1: know how important that is, you know, from cuff legs,
18:47
Speaker 1: two watches, two shoes, because I wear a pair of
18:50
Speaker 1: shoes will change the look of my suit of my pants.
18:54
Speaker 1: And sometimes I can get away with that because they
18:56
Speaker 1: should be looking at my shoes. They don't know I
18:58
Speaker 1: wore that suit a couple of weeks ago, last yesterday exactly.
19:02
Speaker 1: So tell us about this whole How the Sassy Jones
19:05
Speaker 1: get started, and how can we reach out and the
19:07
Speaker 1: help continue to make you a multimillion dollar company. Oh well,
19:12
Speaker 1: Sassy Jones. We started five years ago, and we started
19:15
Speaker 1: with two small things, my minivan and my kitchen. So
19:20
Speaker 1: I traveled. I left my corporate job, traveling the world
19:23
Speaker 1: doing these trade shows and accessorizing women and every trade
19:26
Speaker 1: show that you can imagine. And I drove my minivan.
19:28
Speaker 1: We never we never flew. I didn't have the budget
19:31
Speaker 1: for that, you know. I put that dollars in my
19:33
Speaker 1: in my minivan. And it was also the first year
19:36
Speaker 1: of my twin boys life. I had just dropped twin boys.
19:39
Speaker 1: They were you know, three, you know, three months at
19:41
Speaker 1: the time, and we got on the road and I
19:44
Speaker 1: just wanted to make it and that was the only
19:46
Speaker 1: way that I knew to get out of the corporate right.
19:48
Speaker 1: I just go sell to women, you know, and sometimes
19:51
Speaker 1: the boys and my family came, and sometimes they stayed home.
19:54
Speaker 1: But then, you know, at the end of that year,
19:55
Speaker 1: it was so physically exhausting and it was so mentally exhausting,
19:59
Speaker 1: and I wasn't happy. And so I had a choice.
20:02
Speaker 1: I could either go back to work or I could
20:04
Speaker 1: work my business in a much smarter way. And I
20:07
Speaker 1: decided to do the second, which was through online marketing,
20:11
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, the biggest fear with
20:13
Speaker 1: online shopping is that people don't really know who they're
20:16
Speaker 1: buying from. They don't really know what the craft is
20:19
Speaker 1: gonna look like when they get it in the mail,
20:21
Speaker 1: whether they're gonna be happy, who who am I gonna
20:24
Speaker 1: call to get on customer service? Are they in a
20:26
Speaker 1: bear cardy not? You know all of those things. So
20:29
Speaker 1: I say, what if I could create my own h
20:32
Speaker 1: S in QVC like experience and allow the customer to
20:36
Speaker 1: get to know who they're doing business with the next
20:39
Speaker 1: time they have an accessory decision, we are top of
20:42
Speaker 1: mind and also off have a have an excellent offer
20:46
Speaker 1: and incentive to buy and just have fun. Right, And
20:49
Speaker 1: it's like the modern thing of just demoing and teaching
20:52
Speaker 1: the customer how to use your products. That's that's what
20:55
Speaker 1: it is, in the pure in the purest form. So
20:57
Speaker 1: that thing we started in my kitchen UM called the
21:00
Speaker 1: Sparkle Party. So that that same shelving, that same custom
21:04
Speaker 1: shelving system that I purchased for the trade shows, I
21:07
Speaker 1: set that bad boy up in my kitchen. So every
21:10
Speaker 1: every week on Wednesdays, we had we live streamed on
21:15
Speaker 1: Periscope and on sabe. Yeah. Yeah, live streams in front
21:21
Speaker 1: of this setup. And first night I did it, I
21:24
Speaker 1: made six hundred dollars in an hour. And we've done
21:27
Speaker 1: it for two years now. We've done it for two
21:30
Speaker 1: years now, and for that hour of work now we
21:33
Speaker 1: make ten thousand dollars every Wednesday night. Now, that is
21:38
Speaker 1: so cool because of the fact that you know, because
21:41
Speaker 1: first of all, because that's what that's using, what social
21:44
Speaker 1: media is all about. First of all. Yeah, and secondly,
21:47
Speaker 1: you know, I know people are listening. You gotta have
21:49
Speaker 1: personality now, MS Jones has personalities, so you's you came
21:52
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people. There's a lot of
21:54
Speaker 1: people out there, a lot live broadcast in Paris school.
21:56
Speaker 1: They need to chet that down. If if I if
21:59
Speaker 1: I had a Bobby going okay, okay, key hired me
22:02
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna go through and just unplug some people.
22:06
Speaker 1: Because because because social media shouldn't be free, you should
22:09
Speaker 1: start charging people that shouldn't be on social media. They
22:11
Speaker 1: really should, you know what, because they waste some times
22:14
Speaker 1: because you can get more, you can get more more bandwidth.
22:17
Speaker 1: Now now here's the deal. I love this because you
22:20
Speaker 1: you you said that, you said, look shopping network, you
22:23
Speaker 1: can do it. Why can't I do it? Why can't
22:25
Speaker 1: I tell people about my brand? When did you know
22:28
Speaker 1: that it was a hit. Was when you got your
22:30
Speaker 1: first purchase, you went, this could work, you know what?
22:35
Speaker 1: I think the first one because I didn't have many
22:38
Speaker 1: people watching. We might have had twenty four people watching
22:41
Speaker 1: on the first Barker Party. But to be able to
22:43
Speaker 1: convert that into six hunderd dollars for one hour of
22:45
Speaker 1: work between eight and nine pm, um, I'd say that
22:49
Speaker 1: that was worth it. And I just decided to double
22:51
Speaker 1: down and do more of what worked. So we kept
22:54
Speaker 1: doing it, and then we started to advertise to it.
22:57
Speaker 1: So instead of going on and on ones there and
23:00
Speaker 1: talking to crickets, we set up the anticipation, Hey, join
23:05
Speaker 1: us at eight o'clock. We've got an exclusive offer for you.

Speaker 1: it Sparkle Party with Friends to join in um, you know,
23:22

Speaker 1: He blamed me for my credit card debt and I
26:08
Speaker 1: blamed him for building that man cave. It's awesome anyway,
26:11
Speaker 1: we stopped blaming each other, did our homework and read
26:13
Speaker 1: that a smart way to consolidate debt is to get
26:16
Speaker 1: a fixed rate loan. But getting a loan was brutal
26:19
Speaker 1: and a time drain. So I was in my man
26:21
Speaker 1: cave researching personal loans and I found best Egg. They
26:25

Speaker 1: Consumer Affairs gave best Egg five stars for their easy
26:33

Speaker 1: and as little as one business day I applied online
26:39
Speaker 1: with no impact my credit score. She always takes credit
26:41
Speaker 1: from my wins. But long story short, she got an
26:44
Speaker 1: awesome loan, paid off our cards and some bills while
26:47
Speaker 1: lowering our monthly payment. The best egg loan was like

Speaker 1: that like, that's just cooking with instincts. You can't really
32:46
Speaker 1: teach that. It's just a gut feeling, you gotta know.
32:48
Speaker 1: But everybody doesn't have that. So for the people that
32:51
Speaker 1: don't have it, they have to follow a recipe. That's
32:53
Speaker 1: okay too. You can measure, get your tea spoons and
32:55
Speaker 1: measuring cups, and you can flow right along with us.
32:58
Speaker 1: And you know, our relationship is a long term because
33:00
Speaker 1: we met when I was, you know, running into the
33:03
Speaker 1: co created Steve Harten Morning Shore with Steve Harvey and
33:05
Speaker 1: I was excutive producer and uh, I used to come
33:07
Speaker 1: over there and because here's your phone, we had to
33:10
Speaker 1: deal with her phone and used to make the recipes.
33:12
Speaker 1: Now at the time, where were you in transitioning because
33:15
Speaker 1: of the fact that I know you was had had
33:18
Speaker 1: a corporate job. So what I want to just talk
33:20
Speaker 1: about a little bit about that too, because a lot
33:23
Speaker 1: of people are sitting and listening to the show, trying
33:26
Speaker 1: to make decisions, afraid to make decisions about what they
33:29
Speaker 1: really want to do versus what they're actually doing currently.
33:32
Speaker 1: How did you make that decision? Well, and you know
33:34
Speaker 1: what I think, for anybody listening, if you're wondering like
33:37
Speaker 1: should I do this? Can I do this? This is
33:39
Speaker 1: the best time to do that in twenty nineteen. I
33:41
Speaker 1: am encouraging everybody to take that leap of faith because
33:44
Speaker 1: it wasn't and it's not easy for anybody. It definitely
33:47
Speaker 1: wasn't easy for me. I mean I started. I had
33:49
Speaker 1: my degree in marketing, and I thought that's what I
33:51
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But I found myself going to a
33:53
Speaker 1: job every day and I'm like, this is not this
33:55
Speaker 1: can't be the rest of my life. I'm not being fulfilled.
33:57
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at a desk. This is not my purpose.
34:00
Speaker 1: And I wasn't really sure what I fully wanted to do.
34:02
Speaker 1: And I definitely wasn't thinking about being on television. I
34:05
Speaker 1: just knew that that wasn't the right place for me.
34:07
Speaker 1: And when they started laying people off because businesses started
34:10
Speaker 1: going crazy, and it was like, this is your moment.
34:13
Speaker 1: They were like we can demote you and you can stay,
34:16
Speaker 1: or you can just just take your papers and go.
34:19
Speaker 1: And I was the only person in the office that
34:20
Speaker 1: was that raised my hand was like, let me go.
34:22
Speaker 1: And in that moment I wasn't I still wasn't sure.
34:25
Speaker 1: And you don't have to have a one percent of
34:27
Speaker 1: the plan. You just got to start walking by faith,
34:29
Speaker 1: because you know what you're capable of. You know that
34:31
Speaker 1: if you you want to be a chelf or you
34:33
Speaker 1: want to be a cook, you know what your talent,
34:35
Speaker 1: you know what you're good at, and that's what you're
34:36
Speaker 1: supposed to pursue. You really should be happy every day
34:40
Speaker 1: about what you're doing. Me right now, I am living
34:42
Speaker 1: the dream. I mean, I started my own business um
34:45
Speaker 1: as a personal chef and a caterer, and transition that
34:48
Speaker 1: into auditioning for reality TV shows on on the Food
34:51
Speaker 1: Network and just doing those those things you never know
34:55
Speaker 1: where they're gonna take you. And from that, I mean
34:57
Speaker 1: years later, I'm still on television and now I'm doing
35:00
Speaker 1: bigger and better things, appearing on daytime talk shows. I'm
35:03
Speaker 1: gonna be on Good Morning America on Thursday cooking for Thanksgiving.
35:07
Speaker 1: That is so there's nowhere on my paper here about
35:13
Speaker 1: I just slip that in because I'm just so excited
35:15
Speaker 1: because it's blessings like that. I'm like, that is one
35:17
Speaker 1: of my dream morning shows. And then to get an
35:19
Speaker 1: email like we want you to come cook for Thanksgiving
35:22
Speaker 1: and you can't write that, you can't you can't plan that.
35:24
Speaker 1: That is just being a part of the process and
35:26
Speaker 1: walking in faith and you just got to see where
35:28
Speaker 1: God takes you. And that's really how I ended up
35:30
Speaker 1: where I am. We're good. Let's talk about what you're
35:32
Speaker 1: gonna make on the Good Morning America? What are you
35:34
Speaker 1: gonna make one Good Morning? Well, the thing is where
35:37
Speaker 1: I really want I'm I'm calling myself the chef to me,
35:40
Speaker 1: I am your non one one survival guide, and like
35:44
Speaker 1: it's really about people that, like I said, that wanted
35:46
Speaker 1: that start to panic and it could be a lot
35:47
Speaker 1: of pressure, especially if this is your first time cooking
35:50
Speaker 1: for something. You've got a lot of family coming over
35:52
Speaker 1: and you're like you're starting to feel that anxiety of oh,
35:54
Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin this, so you want to
35:56
Speaker 1: pull it off. So that's really what I'm here to
35:58
Speaker 1: kind of put people at ease and let you know,
36:00
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's just a turkey. He can't beat you, Like,
36:03
Speaker 1: you can do this. But it's really about getting everything
36:07
Speaker 1: in the order. So you got it, and I call
36:08
Speaker 1: it the three piece. We're gonna plan, we're gonna prep,
36:12
Speaker 1: and then it's time to party, y'all. That's really what
36:14
Speaker 1: it is. And it's Monday, so you should already have
36:17
Speaker 1: your checklist. You should have already gone shopping and making
36:20
Speaker 1: sure that everything is in place so that the last
36:22
Speaker 1: minute you're not sending somebody to the store like, oh,
36:24
Speaker 1: go give me some sugar, give me some flower. Like
36:27
Speaker 1: if you're doing that, you're it's going to start to
36:29
Speaker 1: fall apart. You better be ready to rock and roll now.
36:32
Speaker 1: Now I was looking at the sweet potato bread pudding.
36:37
Speaker 1: I'm I do I do a raising bread pudding and
36:42
Speaker 1: I do a sweep potato pie. Okay, it seems like
36:45
Speaker 1: you put those together without the raisins. It's the most
36:48
Speaker 1: amazing dessert because it's like a sweet potato pie meet
36:52
Speaker 1: your grandma's bread pudding. And you can do pumpkin in
36:54
Speaker 1: that too, if you if you're a pumpkin person, because
36:56
Speaker 1: you know, it's a battle of the sweepotato in the
36:58
Speaker 1: pumpkin depends on where you what you're gonna put in.
37:04
Speaker 1: Give you walk me through that step, because you know
37:06
Speaker 1: I'm putting my my cheerful seawan had on. You know, Okay,
37:12
Speaker 1: we do that. Like I said, I know how to
37:14
Speaker 1: do the sweet potato pie. I know how to do
37:17
Speaker 1: that because I can make a sweep for my staff tomorrow.
37:20
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna make the raising bread putting. Tell me
37:23
Speaker 1: how's that done? How do you make that? Well, you're
37:25
Speaker 1: gonna start with You're gonna peel and dice about a
37:27
Speaker 1: pound of sweet potatoes and you can boil them off
37:30
Speaker 1: just to get them for tender. If I'm in a rush,
37:32
Speaker 1: I even pop them in the microwave for about six
37:34
Speaker 1: to eight minutes just to get them. And you're gonna
37:37
Speaker 1: leave the swep potatoes there, and then you're gonna start
37:39
Speaker 1: in your bread pudding. So you can use the day
37:40
Speaker 1: old bread, a French bread, Italian bread, any type of
37:43
Speaker 1: crusty bread that you have thick cut and you'll do
37:45
Speaker 1: maybe about six to eight cups of that, and then
37:48
Speaker 1: you start with the bread pudding parts. You know, you
37:49
Speaker 1: gotta have your milk in there. We can do sugar,
37:53
Speaker 1: condensed milk sweet, and I mean, I'm centnaments. And you
37:56
Speaker 1: know what my secret is, Everybody write this down. It
37:59
Speaker 1: is freshly graded nutmeg, not just the one you shake
38:02
Speaker 1: out of there. You take that microplane, you you get
38:04
Speaker 1: that nutmeg and you created across the top. That is
38:07
Speaker 1: what's going to take your bread pudding to the next
38:10
Speaker 1: level where people are like, what is that? Because it's
38:12
Speaker 1: just so distinct in that flavor. You're gonna combine the
38:15
Speaker 1: sweep potatoes with your bread and all your milk and
38:18
Speaker 1: your sugar and everything, and soak that in there for
38:20
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes, and you're gonna break baking in your
38:22
Speaker 1: baking dish the same way you would do your regular
38:25
Speaker 1: bread pudding, and the swep potato just adds a little
38:27
Speaker 1: bit of color, a little bit of flair, a little
38:29
Speaker 1: more texture, a little more sweetness to it, and you're
38:32
Speaker 1: baking off any other oven until it is beautiful, golden brown.
38:35
Speaker 1: And you know it's ready because the whole house smells
38:37
Speaker 1: just like heaven. I mean, it is just bubbling delicious,
38:40
Speaker 1: and I love to top it off. I put a
38:42
Speaker 1: little bourbon in mind. You if you want to kick
38:44
Speaker 1: it up and roll and now we can top. You
38:48
Speaker 1: got a warm people don't let the kids get in this,
38:50
Speaker 1: but I do it at the end. So if you
38:53
Speaker 1: want to do a quick sauce is this is it
38:55
Speaker 1: the fastest thing you've ever imagined. You get a cup
38:57
Speaker 1: of vanilla ice cream and you let it melt, and
39:01
Speaker 1: you're like waving, what you're gonna do with that? Thought?
39:02
Speaker 1: You leave the ice cream home. No, this is gonna
39:04
Speaker 1: make you know that that crimon glaze that french S
39:06
Speaker 1: thoughts that you can make and you gotta cook it
39:08
Speaker 1: over the store for a long time. We're not doing
39:10
Speaker 1: that melt some vanilla ice cream, add a shot of
39:12
Speaker 1: bourbon to it, and when people start spooning out their
39:15
Speaker 1: bread pudding, just drive a little bit of that on tops.
39:18
Speaker 1: You get that shot of that bourbon creaminess of the
39:21
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream and then that deliciously sweet golden brown
39:25
Speaker 1: bread pudding. Now that don't make you hungry right now,
39:28
Speaker 1: something's wrong, but it makes me hunger. It makes me mad. Now,

45:05
Speaker 1: there for me, uh with Steve and I was doing
45:08
Speaker 1: the Neighborhod Awards. Anytime we called to do anything, you
45:10
Speaker 1: guys have been there rescuing it. With a strong faith
45:13
Speaker 1: and commitment and uh and you and you value your fans.
45:17
Speaker 1: And that's what I really liked about it, about your
45:19
Speaker 1: career and what you've done. And I've known you guys
45:22
Speaker 1: know a long time now over twenty years and so
45:26
Speaker 1: and you guys have been consistent and I've seen you grown.
45:28
Speaker 1: But one of the things I wanted to talk about,
45:30
Speaker 1: and you know, not jokingly, only I could you know,
45:32
Speaker 1: I can jokingly talk about David and Tamil's career because
45:35
Speaker 1: both of them have phenomenal careers as singers and actors.
45:39
Speaker 1: And David, he decided one that he gonna do stand up.
45:42
Speaker 1: That's how talented he is. He's just gonna decide on
45:46
Speaker 1: his reality show, I'm gonna do stand up, right, you
45:52
Speaker 1: try anything, but no, no, no, no no. But then
45:55
Speaker 1: he gonna go on tour. Though you don't do it,
46:01
Speaker 1: do it, do it and not afraid to do make it.
46:05
Speaker 1: Got to make it, do to do you get a
46:06
Speaker 1: lot of keys. But here's the thing about it. What
46:10
Speaker 1: I want to talk about on the show, because I
46:12
Speaker 1: was talking my show is about entrepreneurship, Tomline, David, and
46:16
Speaker 1: you know, in this business, you come you come in
46:18
Speaker 1: based on your talent, okay, and and God that given
46:22
Speaker 1: both of you, individual to individual, tremendous amount of talent.
46:25
Speaker 1: But I see over the years you're starting to control
46:29
Speaker 1: your own destiny, okay. And if you can talk to
46:32
Speaker 1: us a little bit about that. And when did it
46:34
Speaker 1: really make you realize that you know that you can
46:37
Speaker 1: actually book yourself, you can actually create your own music
46:41
Speaker 1: production company. When did all that started to fall in place? Uh?
46:46
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of started back in I think
46:48
Speaker 1: we did our first album in two thousand four, right
46:50
Speaker 1: there somewhere in there. And it's because we've seen how
46:55
Speaker 1: the labels were treating artists, and it was like, you know,
46:59
Speaker 1: I know how to do music. I know that Tamila
47:02
Speaker 1: as one of those going with the voices. So it
47:05
Speaker 1: was just like, let's do our own you know. At first, now,
47:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, at first, dam was like I
47:12
Speaker 1: ain't having that. She was like, I'm not finished being
47:16
Speaker 1: no solo album by myself and go out there by herself.
47:20
Speaker 1: But I just believed in so much in what we had.
47:24
Speaker 1: I just said, let's put the music together and put
47:26
Speaker 1: it out there and it's such good people will buy it.
47:29
Speaker 1: People will you know, we love it, so we just
47:31
Speaker 1: decided to create our own and I just believe in ownership.
47:35
Speaker 1: And you know, seeing you guys, guys like you who
47:39
Speaker 1: started to control their own narrative in this business and
47:43
Speaker 1: not allow people to tell you that you can do this,
47:46
Speaker 1: you can't do that, and that's you know, having good
47:48

Speaker 1: Steve Harvier afraid? Yeah, because unknown makes you're afraid, but
48:04
Speaker 1: you have to walk past it. What you say, I
48:09
Speaker 1: was just about to see, you have to do it afraid,
48:12
Speaker 1: and that's what that's that's what you guys did, and
48:14

48:43
Speaker 1: first Then the album drops Us against the World, The
48:46
Speaker 1: Love Project drops November night. First, let's talk about the
48:49
Speaker 1: album because last time he was on my show earlier
48:52
Speaker 1: in the year, we talked about that. Now we were
48:54
Speaker 1: it's October, November's next month is about to happen, and
48:58
Speaker 1: any hiccups? Is it where you wanted to be? Is
49:00
Speaker 1: everything timing out like you wanted to want it to happen.
49:05
Speaker 1: What's happening is it's a lot. We put so much
49:08
Speaker 1: at one time where the body can't keep up with
49:10
Speaker 1: the work. But I mean we've I've really enjoyed it
49:16
Speaker 1: to be in the studio with David again after over
49:22
Speaker 1: fifteen years, because it's not about I've been pulling teeth
49:25
Speaker 1: with him to sing with me on my records, and
49:28
Speaker 1: he was like, every time it's time for him to
49:30
Speaker 1: do it. The studio sessions, we find something to do.
49:34
Speaker 1: We just hold on, hold on, hold up. That I
49:37
Speaker 1: would be you know that David can sing a j David.
49:40
Speaker 1: I know I would joke around about his singing. He
49:42
Speaker 1: could sing that but you know, Tamla, you can sing,
49:46
Speaker 1: and that's why it was so difficult for me to
49:49
Speaker 1: go on. So I thought she was gonna be on
49:51
Speaker 1: my very It's very intimidating to sing with Tamela. Man,
49:56
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I know how to the thing.
50:00
Speaker 1: It it's not for you. It's not for you because
50:03
Speaker 1: it's you. But the team that we put together, the
50:08
Speaker 1: writing team that my friend David J put together for
50:11
Speaker 1: this whole project, they Taylor made the song and the
50:15
Speaker 1: lyrics everything just for me. So it made it comfortable.
50:20
Speaker 1: I mean, they made it very comfortable for us to
50:23
Speaker 1: get go in and do the music. So that's what
50:26
Speaker 1: made it easy for me because at first I was
50:28
Speaker 1: I was shaking in my boost that first I've seen
50:34
Speaker 1: an acapella. I've seen her acapella. Okay, bring down the house.
50:38
Speaker 1: Two people, just throw hard mic on the front row.

Speaker 1: Oh it's too She don't do that. She don't do that.

Speaker 1: gotta support you too. We love you. We look for things. Yeah,
54:01
Speaker 1: we sort of stopped paying attention and racked up a
54:03
Speaker 1: lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me
54:06
Speaker 1: for my credit card debt and I blamed him for
54:08
Speaker 1: building that man cave. It's awesome anyway, we stopped blaming
54:12
Speaker 1: each other, did our homework and read that a smart
54:14
Speaker 1: way to consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan.
54:17
Speaker 1: But getting a loan was brutal and a time drain.
54:20
Speaker 1: So I was in my man cave researching personal loans
54:23
Speaker 1: and I found best Egg. They have an A plus
54:25
Speaker 1: rating with the B B B and best Egg handles
54:28
Speaker 1: everything online start to finish, and Consumer Affairs gave best
54:31
Speaker 1: Egg five stars for their easy online loan app. And
54:34
Speaker 1: we could be approved and funded and as little as
54:36
Speaker 1: one business day. I applied online with no impact to
54:39
Speaker 1: my credit score. She always takes credit from my wins.
54:42
Speaker 1: But long story short, she got an awesome loan, paid
54:45
Speaker 1: off our cards and some bills while lowering our monthly payment.
54:49
Speaker 1: The best Egg loan was like a total fresh start.
