Speaker 1: you trying to change my lifestyle and ten minutes help me. Yeah,
4:13
Speaker 1: can you give me a little bit more? Or do
4:14
Speaker 1: I have to go to a website to get more? Well,
4:17
Speaker 1: you can see all the workouts that I do. I
4:20
Speaker 1: did the same tim and ite workout every single day
4:22
Speaker 1: and I have for the last five years. Um. I
4:26
Speaker 1: lost about thirty pounds, but then like the first like
4:29
Speaker 1: probably four or five weeks, um, and then just was
4:32
Speaker 1: able to maintain it because I show you the same
4:34
Speaker 1: exercise every single day. Um. You can go on my website,
4:37
Speaker 1: the Robert Richard dot com, the Robert Rochard dot com
4:43
Speaker 1: and if you scroll down like two tabs, there's a
4:46
Speaker 1: highway fit tab. You press on it and all my
4:48
Speaker 1: workouts are right there. Um. And and the great thing
4:52
Speaker 1: about it was, you know I developed this is my doctor.
4:56
Speaker 1: I asked him like a simple question like what is
4:59
Speaker 1: working out out? That I've never had something to ask
5:02
Speaker 1: that question you before. So we figured out what working
5:05
Speaker 1: out was. We found the most simplest efficient way to
5:08
Speaker 1: work out. And then um. The first person that I had.
5:12
Speaker 1: Her name is Ms. Tiffany carr Um. She was in
5:15
Speaker 1: uh and Winston Sale of North Carolina, and she was
5:19
Speaker 1: four hunder pounds and now she's a hundred and fifty
5:21
Speaker 1: pounds of beauty and she's amazing um. And she was
5:24
Speaker 1: able to do that with just a ten minute commitment
5:26
Speaker 1: every single day, okay, now, which is really oh, this
5:30
Speaker 1: is great because see I get up a four fifteen
5:33
Speaker 1: and you know, I do lightweights. I don't do I
5:37
Speaker 1: do trels. That's it. You can laugh at me. I
5:41
Speaker 1: do lateral pull down. I may do seventy pounds. I'm
5:43
Speaker 1: not trying to go in to theay NFL, but I
5:46
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't. I don't my walk that I
5:49
Speaker 1: do on my treadmill, it's just ten minutes. I make
5:53
Speaker 1: sure I do that every day because right, you know,
5:56
Speaker 1: people a lot of people understand. You put a little
5:58
Speaker 1: inklent on it and you walk and just don't don't
6:01
Speaker 1: hold onto the machine. Then you can work out your
6:04
Speaker 1: upper body as well as your abs if you do
6:07
Speaker 1: it right. And I'm talking, it's your road, your freedom, man.
6:11
Speaker 1: You know that's how that's how we see it. And
6:14
Speaker 1: so the robin know what I'm talking about. That's why
6:16
Speaker 1: when you see a lot of sprinters when they when
6:18
Speaker 1: they pull off their shirt, cause they quickly pull off
6:20
Speaker 1: their shirt. They abs are like crazy crazy bit like concrete.
6:26
Speaker 1: The find right because when you walk, if you if
6:30
Speaker 1: you remember, if you lift your legs, when you lift
6:32
Speaker 1: your legs when you walk, you're actually impacting your ass,
6:36
Speaker 1: especially the lower part of your ass. A lot of
6:38
Speaker 1: people don't understand that when you're when you're doing workouts,
6:41
Speaker 1: if you slow it down and go just to the
6:43
Speaker 1: basic of what is trying to what God has given
6:46
Speaker 1: you first of all as a body, what you do
6:48
Speaker 1: with it, He allows you to make that decision. What
6:50
Speaker 1: a lot of people do is complicate the process by
6:53
Speaker 1: if you if you're walking around here, you don't feel
6:55
Speaker 1: like picking up your legs, you know, dragging your feet,
6:58
Speaker 1: sliding around, just drawing your heels because you don't want
7:01
Speaker 1: to move walk fast. If you just pick your feet
7:04
Speaker 1: up and just start consciously raising your legs, lifting your
7:08
Speaker 1: knees up a little bit higher, it would affect the
7:11
Speaker 1: lower portion of your body. What your turn will affect
7:13
Speaker 1: your upper portion, which your turn will affect the way
7:16
Speaker 1: you walk and your and your posture. It's all right,
7:22
Speaker 1: it's all correct. Yes, Now, how did you how did
7:25
Speaker 1: you figure this out? Sir? You said ten minutes, ten
7:28
Speaker 1: minutes can change your life. And why it's just the
7:31
Speaker 1: first time I'm hearing about this, sir, I'm kind of mad,
7:34
Speaker 1: so so so. UM. A lot of my videos are
7:37
Speaker 1: on YouTube, UM, and that kind of brought me to
7:41
Speaker 1: making my own websites that you can get more information. UM.
7:44
Speaker 1: But yeah, I asked my one of my best friends
7:46
Speaker 1: is a double board certified UM surgeon by the American
7:50
Speaker 1: Border Services, and I asked myself, what's working out? And
7:54
Speaker 1: we figured out that no matter whether you're running or
7:58
Speaker 1: you know, weightlifting or sprinting or doing cross that or
8:02
Speaker 1: even swimming, UM, that that working out is the light
8:07
Speaker 1: Michael tears of muscle fiber. So we said, okay, if
8:13
Speaker 1: the human body was a chopstick, and I asked someone
8:17
Speaker 1: to sort of break a chopstick, which is how you
8:21
Speaker 1: that breaking of the muscle fibers. Everyone would snap it right.
8:26
Speaker 1: What you wouldn't what you wouldn't try and do the chopstick.
8:28
Speaker 1: You wouldn't try and put in between your hands and
8:30
Speaker 1: squeeze it because you know that's not efficient. You know,
8:32
Speaker 1: you wouldn't try and pull it apart. There's not it's
8:34
Speaker 1: gonna take too much energy. And you wouldn't try and
8:36
Speaker 1: twist it. You just snap the chopstick. So I asked,
8:39
Speaker 1: if I said work we created a workout? Is this
8:41
Speaker 1: all these sort of snapping motions muscle fiber and then
8:46
Speaker 1: that in turn put your body into slight shock with
8:49
Speaker 1: register raises your heart rate, your sweating going, and you're
8:53
Speaker 1: respirators and going. And so it's this thing. The official
8:57
Speaker 1: term is faced down isometrics, but a lot of people
9:00
Speaker 1: note is like planking, so sort of like when you're
9:03
Speaker 1: on the ground facing the floor head down, holding your
9:08
Speaker 1: body weight up. It's actually the same force that's happening
9:12
Speaker 1: when you're not chopstick. Well, I want to make sure
9:15

17:05
Speaker 1: I ran out of time and we were just talking
17:09
Speaker 1: about I wanted to just talk about the journey because
17:11
Speaker 1: I'm a farmer IBM employee. My degree is in mathematics,
17:14
Speaker 1: and I transitioned into the entertainment world. You you, you
17:18
Speaker 1: transistioned to more of the technical and now you're more
17:21
Speaker 1: of the app space and and I guess you know
17:24
Speaker 1: branding and and and just growth in that digital platform
17:28
Speaker 1: that's out there that's really dominating the marketplace. When you
17:31
Speaker 1: was at IBA, did you see this evolving in this
17:33
Speaker 1: direction or it just Hey, man, I saw an opportunity
17:37
Speaker 1: that I jumped at it. I was at IBM to
17:39
Speaker 1: do a certain task and I just saw that it
17:42
Speaker 1: was gonna limit my overall vision, so I guess the
17:46
Speaker 1: way I would put it, so, um, last time I
17:48
Speaker 1: made a mistake, the last time I had before becoming
17:52
Speaker 1: a full time entrepreneur that was at Microsoft. I got
17:54
Speaker 1: them confused now. But what happened is that at that
17:59
Speaker 1: time just kind of becoming dissatisfied and I kind of
18:02
Speaker 1: just drew it as a funding swarch for whatever I
18:05
Speaker 1: would do in the future, and I was looking around
18:07
Speaker 1: for different opportunities and apps. The mobile app space happened
18:11
Speaker 1: to be an exciting one that I came across or
18:13
Speaker 1: they learn more about it. I read some books, I
18:16
Speaker 1: took some courses, started to become more knowledgeable, started doing
18:18
Speaker 1: some experiments, and it kind of after a while, it
18:22
Speaker 1: ended up growing and growing and became something more real.
18:26
Speaker 1: What exactly is it? You know the word word app?
18:30
Speaker 1: You you you have these mobile platforms, you have of
18:32
Speaker 1: course additional website platform and then you have what exactly
18:37
Speaker 1: is an app? Sure thing? I mean and app it's
18:41
Speaker 1: just a piece of software that delivers some kind of functionality.
18:45
Speaker 1: It could be a game, it could be a productivity software.
18:49
Speaker 1: Their apps that people use to book care appointments. Right
18:54
Speaker 1: for me, sometimes people um end up focusing too much
18:58
Speaker 1: on trying to develop some crazy I think it all
19:00
Speaker 1: comes back to the business is about. You want to
19:03
Speaker 1: solve a problem for a customer. So um, this is
19:06
Speaker 1: just one way of delivering in a place where everybody is.
19:10
Speaker 1: Everybody's doing their phones every day, you know, even while
19:12
Speaker 1: they're driving nowadays, right right, and that's where we are
19:16
Speaker 1: at now in business world. You know, everything is immediate,
19:19
Speaker 1: everything is fast. I've just seen the evolution I've designed
19:23
Speaker 1: would not be designed. I've had several apps designed for
19:26
Speaker 1: large events I've served over the years, just giving my
19:30
Speaker 1: customers a place to go where they can learn about
19:32
Speaker 1: the events schedule, learn about the things they can buy,
19:36
Speaker 1: learn about where they can buy tickets for various shows
19:38
Speaker 1: that I put on place. So when you when you
19:41
Speaker 1: when you are giving the opportunity to create an app,
19:44
Speaker 1: are there any certain things that has to be provided
19:47
Speaker 1: to you to develop it? Um? Well, yes, yes, you
19:52
Speaker 1: have to have a very good understanding of who it
19:55
Speaker 1: is that you're trying to serve. UM, Like I mentioned before,
19:59
Speaker 1: what proble gonna you're trying to solve for them? And
20:02
Speaker 1: I mean those would be the main things. And then
20:03
Speaker 1: I would also look at in terms of the other
20:07
Speaker 1: there're probably other existing solutions in the space, whether those
20:10
Speaker 1: are apps or at their websites or news letters, whatever.
20:13
Speaker 1: You want to see what people are already doing. It's
20:15
Speaker 1: working that you might be able to borrow from. And
20:17
Speaker 1: that's normal, normally a pretty good place to start. Well,
20:21
Speaker 1: reach maskets because you are the author of seven Steps
20:24
Speaker 1: to App Success. Why, Um, it's just based on my
20:30
Speaker 1: experience over the last seven eight years. And what's happened
20:33
Speaker 1: is that, um, you know, naturally i'm doing apps, people
20:37
Speaker 1: find out they're here twelve million downloads and get curious.
20:40
Speaker 1: So everybody wants to have a conversation to pick my print.
20:43
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you know from from your experience, like
20:46
Speaker 1: there's just not that much time in the world, but
20:47
Speaker 1: you still want to help people. So this was a
20:50
Speaker 1: way for me to be able to provide provide the
20:53
Speaker 1: knowledge and people can just get it and um, it's
20:58
Speaker 1: it's quickly consumable and um there's not that problem of
21:02
Speaker 1: can I pick your brain and pick your brainer? So
21:04
Speaker 1: it's really interesting talking to you because there's so many
21:06
Speaker 1: platforms where people tell you to grow your brand, to
21:09
Speaker 1: develop you know, you have the Instagram, you have Twitter,
21:12
Speaker 1: you have Snapchat, you have Facebook, and you have this
21:15
Speaker 1: world and apps? How do what do you feel that
21:17
Speaker 1: you get your most exposure? Where do you go to
21:20
Speaker 1: build your brain to market your bread? What platform do
21:23
Speaker 1: you use? Got it? So, Um, there's a few. There's
21:27
Speaker 1: a few that I'm focused on right now. So one,
21:29
Speaker 1: of course you mentioned I have a podcast. It's called
21:32
Speaker 1: The Game of Growth Podcasts. That's that's grown pretty well. Um,
21:36
Speaker 1: you know, there's a strong response from the start um.
21:39
Speaker 1: And I really like podcasting because it's one of the
21:42
Speaker 1: only mediums nowadays where somebody will really give you They're
21:46
Speaker 1: almost uninterrupted attention for long periods of time. So you know,
21:50
Speaker 1: it's like people are spending hours with me a week
21:52
Speaker 1: listening to me on the podcast, and they almost feel
21:56
Speaker 1: as if you're it's not that you're selling, you're almost
21:59
Speaker 1: like a trusted friend. I'm sure you have that experience
22:01
Speaker 1: with your radio show now with your podcasts as well.
22:04
Speaker 1: Then the other other ones for me would be, um, Instagram.
22:08
Speaker 1: So I like Instagram because I feel like there's just
22:13
Speaker 1: so much opportunity. People are open to meeting new people
22:17
Speaker 1: on Instagram and seeing what they're doing. And if you're
22:19
Speaker 1: producing content that they find valuable that resonates with them,
22:22
Speaker 1: they might follow you, they might share with their friends,
22:25
Speaker 1: and so really quick example of this for for our
22:28
Speaker 1: new app color new are Um. I recently posted about
22:32
Speaker 1: it and some big Instagram pages picked it up. Ball
22:36
Speaker 1: Alert posted about the way of blow up with them,
22:38
Speaker 1: um you know who hugely so UM the post on
22:42
Speaker 1: boiler Alert and retweeted it out to all of his
22:45
Speaker 1: Instagram followers, and so hundreds of thousands of people. So
22:49
Speaker 1: this app and thousands of people downloaded it and told
22:52
Speaker 1: their friends all because it's out there, it's on Instagram,
22:55
Speaker 1: they're already they're interacting. Um the I mean, the content
22:58
Speaker 1: does have to be good, as the rent say, with
23:00
Speaker 1: them they care about, but it does provide you that
23:04
Speaker 1: instant access to so many people, and I think they're
23:07
Speaker 1: about four jamillion people using it every month, bigger than
23:10
Speaker 1: countries right right. The interesting part about all this with
23:14
Speaker 1: the apps A podcasts, especially podcast podcasts, seem to be
23:18
Speaker 1: on fire right now. What in listening to people and
23:23
Speaker 1: launching podcast what do you consider on an annual Basically
23:27
Speaker 1: it's tied to downloads and plays. What is successful monthly
23:31
Speaker 1: download and you know, just because you have these brands
23:35
Speaker 1: out there to millions and we're not talking about that.
23:39
Speaker 1: What what do they consider a successful annual downloads? Or
23:42
Speaker 1: plays that you that you should have on a podcast
23:46
Speaker 1: and you you're good, you're great, and you're on fire,
23:50
Speaker 1: gotta got it. So I mean, I actually wouldn't even
23:52
Speaker 1: look at it. I wouldn't. I want to see a country,
23:54
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't look at it that way. I think
23:56
Speaker 1: sometimes people compare. You know, there's there's step onet in
23:59
Speaker 1: somebody us is like chapter twenty and get discouraged and
24:02
Speaker 1: that's the worst thing. But you know my wife, for example,
24:06
Speaker 1: my my wife did Hustle Pro. She just hit two
24:09
Speaker 1: million downslods recently and she's getting like a hundred thousand
24:12
Speaker 1: downloads of months. Right, Um, that's not where her podcast
24:16
Speaker 1: started and um, you know she she had to build
24:20
Speaker 1: up to there and it just happened over time. Podcast
24:23
Speaker 1: right now relatively new. Um, but we've reached around uh
24:28
Speaker 1: ten ten thousand downloads per month. So you can see
24:31
Speaker 1: quite different numbers. But for me, it's still I can
24:34
Speaker 1: still see the impact that it's making on people. But
24:37
Speaker 1: like even their their podcasts, they have less downloads that
24:40
Speaker 1: are still highly impactful. And there are people that will
24:42
Speaker 1: tune in each and every week and they get so
24:44
Speaker 1: much out of it. And those people, those people who
24:47
Speaker 1: devote that much time to your podcast are going to
24:50
Speaker 1: be some of your strongest brand advocates. You know what
24:52
Speaker 1: I mean. That's all I'm saying. So now let's talk
24:55
Speaker 1: about a couple of things. Just talk about your brand
24:56
Speaker 1: new apter that you have. About that, Yes, sir, why
25:01
Speaker 1: why you know? You're You're busy man, You're busy man.
25:03
Speaker 1: You were talking about you got three platforms social media
25:06
Speaker 1: and you just don't stop. You just don't stop. Yeah,
25:11
Speaker 1: So we we, um, we actually throw we we cut
25:15
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas out and put a lot of
25:17
Speaker 1: things into the parking lot. But this is one that
25:20
Speaker 1: I had to do. So the app, it's called color Now,
25:22
Speaker 1: are right now. It's available on iOS, It's coming through
25:26
Speaker 1: to Google Play. I've been catching a lot of hell
25:28
Speaker 1: from so shout out to my androids toam we got you.
25:30
Speaker 1: We're coming soon. But um, it's a coloring book app.
25:34
Speaker 1: And you like coloring book? Why? And so I definitely
25:38
Speaker 1: having colored since childhood. I didn't know anything about the
25:41
Speaker 1: coloring book for adults trends. But I came across the
25:44
Speaker 1: trend a couple of years ago. I was doing some
25:46
Speaker 1: app store research periodically. I'll just go through the app
25:49
Speaker 1: store and see what. You know. You gotta stay up
25:50
Speaker 1: on your field, on your craft. So I'm going through
25:53
Speaker 1: and I see there are a bunch of coloring book
25:55
Speaker 1: for adults apps becoming very popular, being successful, making money.
25:59
Speaker 1: I didn't erstand why. So it turns out that people
26:02
Speaker 1: use them to have fun and to relax, kind of
26:04
Speaker 1: therapeutic effects. So um, I started playing around with them
26:07
Speaker 1: a bit, and I started to understand the appeal. Then
26:10
Speaker 1: I also, of course noticed that not a lot of
26:14
Speaker 1: these well they mostly just ignored black people for the
26:18
Speaker 1: most part, um black people in after thought, in most
26:20
Speaker 1: of these coloring books. And I start figuring to myself, Okay,
26:23
Speaker 1: millions of people a year are using these things, but
26:26
Speaker 1: they don't, you know, they don't acknowledge that black people
26:28
Speaker 1: are people, So that that's that's that's an issue. But
26:31
Speaker 1: I kind of put that suicide for a while. But
26:34
Speaker 1: we watched Black Panther Whenever came out a year ago,
26:37
Speaker 1: two years ago, UM, and it had such a big
26:39
Speaker 1: impact on myself when my wife on everybody right, even
26:43
Speaker 1: some of the developers I worked with overseas. One of
26:45
Speaker 1: my developers, one of my artists in Sri Lanka, that
26:48
Speaker 1: he watched this seven times within the first two weeks.
26:51
Speaker 1: So I started thinking about, man, you got this black
26:55
Speaker 1: story with a black cast and black actors, black director.
26:59
Speaker 1: You know, the the money behind it might not have
27:01
Speaker 1: been black, but everything black, and it has such a
27:03
Speaker 1: big impact billions on the opening and right, you know,
27:08
Speaker 1: so we just right out of time or you again,
27:11
Speaker 1: I tell you some you are just a talk of
27:14
Speaker 1: big time. I gotta bring you back on the show
27:16
Speaker 1: again third time. Third time I saw this new story
27:19
Speaker 1: where burglars were asked how they broke into homes and
27:21
Speaker 1: the one thing every burglar did first was knocked on
27:24
Speaker 1: the door and if no one answered, they broke in.
27:27
Speaker 1: That's what sold me on my new Blink x T
27:29
Speaker 1: two cameras. They detect motion, so if someone gets near
27:32
Speaker 1: my cameras again to learn on my Blink smartphone app
27:35
Speaker 1: with a video clap. But even better is the two
27:38
Speaker 1: way talk feature that lets me talk to whoever is
27:41
Speaker 1: they're using my phone from telling the delivery guy where
27:44
Speaker 1: to leave the package to saying hi to the kids
27:46
Speaker 1: at the door. With Blink cameras, it's like I'm always home.

30:39
Speaker 1: you noticed, done some great award winning content on the

Speaker 1: fulfilled on them both. But I love both, I really do,
30:53
Speaker 1: and I love combining the two. Where I can't now?
30:56
Speaker 1: Where are you based at? Where's your w's whore's home?
30:58
Speaker 1: Home is now in Nashville, Tennessee. And why uh? Well,
31:05
Speaker 1: a few years ago I had an opportunity to work
31:07
Speaker 1: for another label, which was their original reason why I
31:09
Speaker 1: moved to Nashville. And then into I made the transition
31:13
Speaker 1: over to Sony, but pride to that I was based
31:16
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and that's why, you know, produced a
31:18
Speaker 1: lot of my content as we was in Atlanta. So yeah,
31:20
Speaker 1: but I've been in um Nashville seven years now. But
31:23
Speaker 1: it's really interesting when you talk about gospel and you know,
31:26
Speaker 1: because it's an interesting genure who because listen R and
31:30
Speaker 1: but you kind of know who you are and B
31:31
Speaker 1: fans are and you kind of you know you hip
31:34
Speaker 1: hop you know your hip hop fans or and then
31:36
Speaker 1: you have this lineal audience out there, geral uh gen
31:41
Speaker 1: z audience is out there, So yeah, who are gospel phase?
31:45
Speaker 1: I remember I struggled with that when I put together
31:47
Speaker 1: a tool with Steve Harvey and Kirk Franklin, I didn't
31:50
Speaker 1: know where to advertise. I didn't know how to reach them,
31:54
Speaker 1: you know because because you know, because you know the
31:56
Speaker 1: gospel people, they dancing Nightlove too. So absolutely so I
32:00
Speaker 1: mean first, I mean the gospel consumer is that African
32:04
Speaker 1: American adult um and you touched on when you had
32:06
Speaker 1: Kirk and Steed tour years ago. To me, that was
32:09
Speaker 1: the perfect sweet spot. But what we've noticed is that
32:12
Speaker 1: thirty plus African American female is our target for most
32:17
Speaker 1: of our releases. Now we have some younger artists that
32:19
Speaker 1: you know, kind of skewed to our eighteen to twenty
32:22
Speaker 1: four demo that's really streaming heavy. But when we're when
32:24
Speaker 1: we're putting out of Kirk Franklin record on Marvin Staff
32:26
Speaker 1: or Donnie mcclark, some of our you know legends, you
32:29
Speaker 1: know on the roster, you know we're talking to that
32:31
Speaker 1: thirty h plus. You know, a female who's listening to
32:34
Speaker 1: Jill Scott, who's listening to Anthony Hamilton's who's listening to her?
32:38
Speaker 1: And Lucky Day and then some of the New or
32:40
Speaker 1: R and B as well. But then you know, this
32:41
Speaker 1: gospel is very much a part of the fabric of
32:44
Speaker 1: American when you think about it, because church it's cultural
32:46
Speaker 1: for us. It's not just something you know, some of
32:48
Speaker 1: it's religious like it's it's been ingrained in a part
32:50
Speaker 1: of our DNA. We went to church with Big Mom
32:52
Speaker 1: and our grandmother and grandmother's years ago, and so it's
32:55
Speaker 1: it's a part of our culture. And gospel music is
32:57
Speaker 1: uh just part of the DNA. When you think about
32:59
Speaker 1: music and so many genres of music were derived from
33:03
Speaker 1: gospel music. So for us, that's a sweet spot. But
33:06
Speaker 1: we try to make music that appeals to everyone. But
33:08
Speaker 1: really the sweet spoty that thirty plus African American female.
33:12
Speaker 1: Now that's also our audience that you know watches their money, okay, absolutely,
33:18
Speaker 1: and so that means that they make conscious decisions and
33:21
Speaker 1: and so how do you how knowing that there is
33:26
Speaker 1: the goal to get younger because it's younger, usually they
33:28
Speaker 1: spending there, they spending the thirty plus money and so
33:31
Speaker 1: absolutely so, so that's an audience you want to reach.
33:34
Speaker 1: Then you have those legends what you just mentioned, Kurt Franklin,
33:37
Speaker 1: Marvin Staff, Dono mclark, who I've been knowing since since
33:40
Speaker 1: two thousands and uh and been following prior to that.
33:43
Speaker 1: When I said two thousand, I started playing their music
33:45
Speaker 1: when Steve and I was on radio and uh in
33:48
Speaker 1: Los Angeles on names two point three to be and
33:50
Speaker 1: so that's when we started really you started seeing the evolution.
33:53
Speaker 1: I think gospel started really exploding into the general market.
33:56
Speaker 1: Of course, Curti has said that that that that that
33:59
Speaker 1: that statement, and Dallas years before that, and like in
34:02
Speaker 1: eighty four five and so so with they're saying, where
34:06
Speaker 1: do you see gospel going and and the legends? Are
34:10
Speaker 1: the legends still caring the music? Or you see these
34:12
Speaker 1: young entrepreneurs, as these young artists starting to replace that
34:16
Speaker 1: that that void because you got the next years of
34:19
Speaker 1: plus thirty women that you want to reach. Absolutely, I
34:22
Speaker 1: still see the legends holding their own. Like Kirk Franklin
34:24
Speaker 1: has a new record we just released Friday Long I've
34:27
Speaker 1: Loved So Kirk is still very much alive and well,
34:29
Speaker 1: and Marvin Stapp. But as far as the younger artists
34:32
Speaker 1: and our roster, I would say Karen Hawthorne, who's one
34:35
Speaker 1: of my first signings when I came over to our
34:36
Speaker 1: c a UM. She had the number the number one
34:39
Speaker 1: song and gospel music. Last year, ever Sean a song
34:42
Speaker 1: called Won't He Do It Uh? And translated beyond the
34:45
Speaker 1: gospel charts, We're Gonna led over to the urban charts.
34:47
Speaker 1: She performed on Soul Trained, she won an Image Award,
34:50
Speaker 1: She's Grahamy nominated, She's on tour with Kirk this summer.
34:53
Speaker 1: She's performing in Essence. The list goes on and she's
34:55
Speaker 1: only twenty one. I could um found her from the voice,
34:59
Speaker 1: but more I'm looking for more artists like Karem, like
35:02
Speaker 1: Travis Green, uh Jonathan mcgrenlands who's not on my roster,
35:05
Speaker 1: but we worked together the previous company. But there's a
35:08
Speaker 1: great search Consha Cobs Leonard, such a surge of like
35:10
Speaker 1: new artists that are really uh re kind of redefining
35:14
Speaker 1: the sound of gospel, but still keeping the integrity in
35:18
Speaker 1: the same breath. So it's it's a it's a few
35:20
Speaker 1: new new Jackson I think are really gonna make everyone
35:23
Speaker 1: proud and continue to you know, it's gonna take some
35:25
Speaker 1: time for them to get to the Kirk or the
35:27
Speaker 1: Yolanda status and things, but again they're well on their way.
35:29
Speaker 1: But I really really am excited about the future of
35:31
Speaker 1: the genre. So you know what I'm talking about, all right,
35:34
Speaker 1: you gotta go there because of the fact that once
35:36
Speaker 1: you control that narrative, then you then you build your
35:39
Speaker 1: audience properly. The problem I have with terrestrial radio they
35:43
Speaker 1: will not allow gospel to build the audience. Then they segmented,
35:46
Speaker 1: like people don't want to hit gospel on certain days
35:50
Speaker 1: and on Sunday, Sunday afternoon, Sunday morning, and so it's
35:54
Speaker 1: a mix and it confuses people on how you should
35:57
Speaker 1: approach gospel and the play people don't want to hear
36:01
Speaker 1: on morning shows. People want to hear in the afternoon drive.
36:03
Speaker 1: And then it only allows yourself to be the legends
36:06
Speaker 1: to get played, and so it means that it often
36:09
Speaker 1: hurts the legends too because guess what, they're old catalogs
36:12
Speaker 1: don't get played, and so it limits their overall exposure
36:16
Speaker 1: to the new audiences that need to be here in
36:18
Speaker 1: the the millennials who need to hear Kirt four music.
36:23
Speaker 1: You know, you know, Kirt, I want to ask you
36:26
Speaker 1: a question as a person, you know you and Steve
36:28
Speaker 1: to me where you know, trailblazers and really embraced gospel
36:32
Speaker 1: on a national platform even before then. When I think
36:34
Speaker 1: back to the beat days in l A. What made
36:37
Speaker 1: you say I will embrace this music on our morning
36:39
Speaker 1: show prime you know, prime platform. Like what was the
36:42
Speaker 1: thing about gospel at that time, whether the artists, was
36:45
Speaker 1: just the timing. I'm just curious. Well, first of all,
36:48
Speaker 1: Steve's a strong faith, you know that. So your your
36:50
Speaker 1: leader has to believe in it, and your leader has
36:52
Speaker 1: to fight for and Steve was willing to fight forward.
36:56
Speaker 1: I remember when we introduced the idea because at the time,
37:00
Speaker 1: you know, no gospel music was being played on the beat,
37:03
Speaker 1: and so we introduced as our opening song. We just
37:06
Speaker 1: said I opened his song, Well, let's let us play
37:08
Speaker 1: our opened his song and so and then all of
37:10
Speaker 1: a sudden, when we start hearing about the success, so
37:13
Speaker 1: we fall down that blew up off our opening songs.
37:17
Speaker 1: Marvin Sapp blew up, Kurt Flecking got even bigger. And
37:20
Speaker 1: so we realized that the music we were playing in
37:23
Speaker 1: this Los Angeles station, we was really impacting everybody nationwide.
37:27
Speaker 1: And this was before streaming. So I would say to you,
37:30
Speaker 1: is that that that because of the way music is
37:32
Speaker 1: being carved out nowadays, that's not gonna happen. That's why
37:36
Speaker 1: I know that you have to control your narrative. If
37:38
Speaker 1: you get stuff on radio that's gravy. But I know
37:41
Speaker 1: that the way the system is set up nowadays, with
37:43
Speaker 1: with the Android phones being a dominant carrier for all
37:46
Speaker 1: African Americans, more African Americans by Android phones than any
37:50
Speaker 1: any type of phone out there, know that for a fact.
37:52
Speaker 1: And so when you know that, when you know that,
37:54
Speaker 1: if you start saying, hey, reach us through this channel Facebook,
37:58
Speaker 1: get somebody like like your the Adams who's amazing, who
38:02
Speaker 1: has the audience reach, she's hip, has a daughter in college,
38:05
Speaker 1: so she knows the language, she knows the experiences. The
38:08
Speaker 1: host of like a Facebook show that it would allow
38:10
Speaker 1: you to have guests and have a red table type
38:12
Speaker 1: show that's popular for for Jada Pinkett can be popular
38:17
Speaker 1: for you guys. Through your line of Adams type. You
38:19
Speaker 1: know that you gotta have somebody who has stories, who
38:22
Speaker 1: has credibility and has engagement. I'm just letting you know
38:25
Speaker 1: that you're a smart guy. I can talk to you
38:28
Speaker 1: because you know television too. I can't talk to Hales
38:30
Speaker 1: conversation with everybody because your television background allows me to
38:33
Speaker 1: say turn some Just to make a pitch to you,
38:36
Speaker 1: just saying that I just want you to just control
38:39
Speaker 1: your brand because allowed radio to dictate it or tell
38:42
Speaker 1: their story is not happening. That's the only disappointment. And
38:46
Speaker 1: and not managing Steve and not being part of the
38:48
Speaker 1: morning show was I didn't realize the impact of me
38:51
Speaker 1: leaving radio would have on how music is being played
38:54
Speaker 1: nationally because I had that big of effect on what
38:57
Speaker 1: was being played on the national format and now that's
39:00
Speaker 1: not the case anymore, and it really disappoints me. That's
39:03
Speaker 1: why I'm an advocate of what you do. And I
39:05
Speaker 1: would be and I was, I was sitting in the
39:07
Speaker 1: meeting you asked me to sit in, I would, I
39:08
Speaker 1: would push your brand field because guess what, we just
39:11
Speaker 1: need to control your narrative. Absolutely, And I'll take you
39:15
Speaker 1: up on that offer because I really loved the idea
39:18
Speaker 1: of just some of the things you've already shared offline.
39:20
Speaker 1: I really I'm gonna take you up on that because
39:22
Speaker 1: this is this is because I need as many champions
39:24
Speaker 1: on the front line to really get controlled the narrative
39:27
Speaker 1: so that I I really I think in advance, I
39:30
Speaker 1: really do. I appreciate and I thank you and uh
39:32
Speaker 1: and I and I think that that when I talked
39:34
Speaker 1: to you, you have to talk to people who who
39:37
Speaker 1: get both sides of it. And so when I listened
39:39
Speaker 1: to radio and I listened to how rappers creep this
39:42
Speaker 1: way back into R and B music that was in
39:45
Speaker 1: two thousands, that that that's what I fought to stop, was, well,
39:49
Speaker 1: how how rapping? Suddenly now you hear now you hear
39:52
Speaker 1: rappers creeping their way into R and B songs again? Oh,
39:55
Speaker 1: well that's two thousands, Okay. Now we went back to
39:58
Speaker 1: two thousand again in twin and eighteen, so in nineteen
40:00
Speaker 1: years later, we're starting all over again. So what does
40:03
Speaker 1: that leave gospel nowhere? Nowhere? So that means that don't
40:07
Speaker 1: worry about that. It's a different era nowadays. We're in
40:10
Speaker 1: an era where we can control our narra, to control
40:12
Speaker 1: our product and put it out at a very cheap
40:15
Speaker 1: production rate. And so but we gotta select and choose
40:18
Speaker 1: the right people to speak the song, to speak to volume,
40:21
Speaker 1: and gotta have the right minded people. And you wanted
40:24
Speaker 1: the right minded people. My man, uh Sony is one
40:27
Speaker 1: of the right minded people because of the fact that
40:29
Speaker 1: y'all understand it and y'all live gospel. Y'all live gospel. Man. Yeah,
40:34
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely so so so with the television background, with
40:40
Speaker 1: the with the radio, with the music. So how can
40:43
Speaker 1: I help you? Like I said, I got a newsletter
40:45
Speaker 1: that comes out uh monthly two thirty thousand fan club followers.
40:50
Speaker 1: I love to just drop information in there and our
40:52
Speaker 1: newsletter about your up comedy songs. Just just give me
40:55
Speaker 1: the artwork and the clickable links and I'll started helping
40:57
Speaker 1: you promote there and then you can come on my show.
41:01
Speaker 1: Any artists you want on my show. This is mighty
41:02
Speaker 1: making conversations. It is about promoting brands and getting the word.
41:05
Speaker 1: I feel and I just know that you are on
41:08
Speaker 1: the edge of something great. Uh. I just want to
41:11
Speaker 1: push you there and let you know, look at it. Man,
41:15
Speaker 1: content is king. You have a market that is available
41:19
Speaker 1: in the mobile world. Just gotta be smarter about it
41:22
Speaker 1: and realize that it's on you. It's gonna be on you,
41:24
Speaker 1: my man, It's gonna be on you. Now. I appreciate that,
41:28
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take you up on that news butt
41:29
Speaker 1: as well. I'll send you some today actually started with
41:33
Speaker 1: what I'm youtuale Frank Kirk Franklin, how about that. Let's
41:35
Speaker 1: start with Kurt. Yeah, I appreciate that support. But we're
41:38
Speaker 1: sign is just because you as you know, at one
41:40
Speaker 1: point to restaurant radio was driving, you know, and it
41:44
Speaker 1: was such a pivotal but like you said, it's a
41:45
Speaker 1: totally different landscape now, so we we had to be created,
41:49
Speaker 1: so you know. So that's the key with having some
41:51
Speaker 1: of our brand partnerships still building. I'm building in that area.
41:54
Speaker 1: I'm building with our digital partners building with the TV
41:57
Speaker 1: and film and the podcast that we're building out. But
42:00
Speaker 1: it's gonna take you, like just taking control of the
42:02
Speaker 1: narratives and finding those champions that understand, you know, both sides,
42:07
Speaker 1: to understand gospel but understand the audience and faith um
42:10
Speaker 1: and just kind of figure out how we can collaborate.
42:12
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, I've been, you know, really blessed on this
42:15
Speaker 1: journey to find people like you, to find people like
42:18
Speaker 1: tomb over to you too, who you know? So like,
42:22
Speaker 1: how do we work together and collaborate and and work
42:25

43:53
Speaker 1: they say, you multitac multitasking multiple multiple levels of income
43:58
Speaker 1: that I'm always preaching, So when you're dealing with multiple
44:00
Speaker 1: levels income, that means sometimes they all come into your
44:03
Speaker 1: brain at the same time, and decisions have to be
44:06
Speaker 1: made on the regular basis against one I'm wanting to
44:08
Speaker 1: make a decision. My next test is also wanted to
44:11

Speaker 1: Dr Bobby Cartwright Jr. Hey, what'son? How are you and
44:48
Speaker 1: what what? What city are you calling me from? My friend? Well,
44:51
Speaker 1: I'm calling you from Detroit this morning. I'm in Detroit.
44:54
Speaker 1: You said this morning. That means that that's you just
44:57
Speaker 1: there this morning. So where are you? Where you based?
45:01
Speaker 1: Where are you based? Well, I'm based in the Cincinnati,
45:04
Speaker 1: Ohio area, um suburb outside of Cincinnati called Liberty Township.
45:08
Speaker 1: But I'm a native Ohio and have been in Ohio
45:10
Speaker 1: practically all my life. But we were doing some rehearsals
45:14
Speaker 1: for the show yesterday UM in Detroit, so I decided
45:17
Speaker 1: to just stay up here and work today and tomorrow
45:20
Speaker 1: and come back home Wednesday. So the talk to tell
45:23
Speaker 1: us about the African Proad Gospel Superfest, Well, the African
45:27
Speaker 1: Priade Gospel super fesses uh in this nineteenth year of production,
45:31
Speaker 1: as well as this nineteenth consecutive year in domestic syndication,
45:36
Speaker 1: which you know all about working you know in your
45:39
Speaker 1: past with TV and radio. We UM got a vision
45:43
Speaker 1: from the Lord in about a new TV show and
45:48
Speaker 1: I started reading the credits and doing my homework. It
45:50
Speaker 1: took me two years to pull off the first one,
45:53
Speaker 1: which was at the turn of the century, in the
45:55
Speaker 1: year two thousand. So we did a three day festival
45:58
Speaker 1: in Louisville, Kentucky, and that was inaugural event UM, which
46:02
Speaker 1: turned out out to be the catalyst for what we
46:05
Speaker 1: what was now a nineteen year brand UM in Black
46:09
Speaker 1: gospel music television. When used the word African pride, that
46:12
Speaker 1: feels international as am I reading that wrong? Or it's
46:17
Speaker 1: just a domestic African pride and uh, it's a hair
46:21
Speaker 1: care Brandy. African Pride is the title sponsor in their
46:25
Speaker 1: hair care brand with multiple lines of hair care UH
46:30
Speaker 1: specifically targeted towards African American consumers. And you and I
46:34
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't use African Pride that much, but females in
46:39
Speaker 1: your listening audience and they would know all about African Pride. Um.
46:42
Speaker 1: It's a you know, it's a it's a household word
46:45
Speaker 1: within black hair care circles. We'll just tell us why
46:49
Speaker 1: why African Pride, because it's just that's your demo market
46:51
Speaker 1: that you said. You always said Rishan Risha, You and I, well,
46:54
Speaker 1: that's not our that's not our hair care brand with
46:57
Speaker 1: female demo that you want. That is while you associated
47:00
Speaker 1: with that, that relationship and because you mentioned the sponsorships
47:04
Speaker 1: you mentioned, I really enjoyed reading your bio because it
47:08
Speaker 1: was it was like reading a business course because he
47:10
Speaker 1: was talking about making your brand relatable, making your brand
47:14
Speaker 1: acceptable to advertisers and things like that. That's that's really
47:17
Speaker 1: important to you and building out this this model for
47:20
Speaker 1: long term success. Correct, Well, that's true, and I may
47:24
Speaker 1: get in troubles because I'm sure they have product lines
47:26
Speaker 1: for for male and children as well. You know, it's
47:30
Speaker 1: like you know, the old luster brands and and things
47:33
Speaker 1: of that nature. I thinking product goes along that line
47:35
Speaker 1: for black hair care. So if I misspoke, I do apologize.
47:40
Speaker 1: But um, primarily the African primarily gospel music in general
47:45
Speaker 1: targets towards a female demographic. And um, just females go
47:51
Speaker 1: to church more than males. That's just the way it is.
47:53
Speaker 1: And then after the African American church you'll find it
47:56
Speaker 1: as well more female heavy and attendance saying um than
48:00
Speaker 1: this is male attendance. But with that being said, the
48:02
Speaker 1: African Pride hair care brand is targeting you know, females
48:08
Speaker 1: eighteen and forty nine is the primary and secondary demographic
48:12
Speaker 1: for their brand, and that lines up with with gospel music,
48:16
Speaker 1: and it certainly lines up with the the African Pride
48:19
Speaker 1: Gospel superfess. And we found our media age to be
48:22
Speaker 1: right around forty years old and real heavy in regards
48:27
Speaker 1: to female attendance and all of our events if you
48:30
Speaker 1: just look at our crowd shots, just you know, women
48:32
Speaker 1: love gospel of music and men do too, but we
48:35
Speaker 1: find that the the audience is predominantly female when we
48:41
Speaker 1: when we shoot, so that's probably the marriage that the
48:45
Speaker 1: the ad agency for African Pride saw and then they
48:48
Speaker 1: made you know, made the connection and of course now
48:50
Speaker 1: we're partners in UH in marketing with African Pride. Okay, cool,
48:54
Speaker 1: this is might to make conversations now, oh yeah, oh yeah.
48:57
Speaker 1: So you talk about TV show, what is outside the
49:01
Speaker 1: TV show? Are there are their booths? So there is
49:04
Speaker 1: like this is a multi day event, it's a single
49:06
Speaker 1: day event. What's going on it is that it is
49:08
Speaker 1: definitely a festival. We start on Thurtsday. The Superfessed Weekend
49:12
Speaker 1: starts on Thursday, and we have an event called Making
49:14
Speaker 1: the Stage and that's a new talent platform for artists
49:17
Speaker 1: to UM compete and then the winner of that UH
49:20
Speaker 1: competition opens the show. That in a couple of days.
49:25
Speaker 1: And then on Friday, we have the first Ladies, Pastors
49:28
Speaker 1: and Community Leaders Reception. That's on Friday, UH that's to
49:32
Speaker 1: benefit our scholarship fund UH in the name of my
49:35
Speaker 1: late sister Gail F. Peoples, who was an educator for
49:37
Speaker 1: forty years. That's Friday night. And then Saturday, UM is
49:41
Speaker 1: the national TV taping for the African Pride Gospel Superfessed
49:45
Speaker 1: with Donnie mcclark and Rantall and Dietricht had and Ti Tribbett,
49:50
Speaker 1: UM Tina Campbell from Mary Mary. That's the national recording,
49:54
Speaker 1: and we record our entire season in one night, so
49:57
Speaker 1: we just the five hour marathon of some of the
49:59
Speaker 1: big names in gospel, and then we're rolling out two
50:02
Speaker 1: of those specials UM for the TV one broadcasting network,
50:07
Speaker 1: and then the other three will be syndicated in domestic syndication.
50:10
Speaker 1: So it's a uh, it's a big event, one of
50:15
Speaker 1: the major television tapes in black gospel today, and we've
50:18
Speaker 1: been fortunate enough to sustain it through the health of
50:22
Speaker 1: corporate America. Uh. Some of our sponsors include A. Procter
50:25
Speaker 1: and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, um Walmart. Of course, All
50:30
Speaker 1: State Insurance Company was our title sponsor for eight years
50:34
Speaker 1: and now of course African Pride is our new title
50:37
Speaker 1: sponsor for nineteen C P and G. Proctor and gammasance
50:41
Speaker 1: that so he could knock on that door. You know,
50:49
Speaker 1: they were our first major Uh. They came to the
50:51
Speaker 1: table first. They did UM back in two thousand two
50:55
Speaker 1: and supported us and they've been supporting this consistently down
50:57
Speaker 1: through the years. And so we're certainly grateful for Proctor
51:00
Speaker 1: and Gamble. And it's great because Proctor and Gamble has
51:03
Speaker 1: a lot of significant African America's leaders and decision makers
51:06
Speaker 1: which allowed you to understand this brand and who this
51:09
Speaker 1: brand is in particularly who they're reaching. So it's really
51:12
Speaker 1: important to have those relationships with people who not only
51:15
Speaker 1: support you but understand the value because, like I said,
51:19
Speaker 1: not all money is good money, but money to understand
51:21
Speaker 1: your brand is gonna stick with you long term. Correct,
51:24
Speaker 1: That's that's true. That's very very true. And they do
51:27
Speaker 1: understand the diversity and and and the different ethnic groups.
51:32
Speaker 1: And you can find Proctor and Gamble strategically placing their
51:35
Speaker 1: efforts with the Hispanic community, with the African American community
51:39
Speaker 1: and the general market community as well. They're very uh,
51:43
Speaker 1: forward thinking brand managers that really know how to target
51:47
Speaker 1: their audience and then go after their you know, their target.
51:50
Speaker 1: Dr car Right, you said something interesting in your conversation.
51:53
Speaker 1: Now I'm only here talking about the ninteenth Annual African Pride,
51:57
Speaker 1: which is the sponsor Gospel super Fest TV. Then you
52:00
Speaker 1: said in your conversation, you said, we're finished taping all
52:03
Speaker 1: our shows, so are we talking about Then you said,
52:06
Speaker 1: you have two specials. It's just like a TV series, Yes,
52:11
Speaker 1: it is. UM. When we origularly started Rashan, it was
52:14
Speaker 1: interesting because I, you know, I don't want to get
52:16
Speaker 1: too spiritual on the show, but I thought, I gotta
52:19
Speaker 1: you know, I know, I got a vision from God
52:21
Speaker 1: to do this, but I didn't know how to produce it.
52:25
Speaker 1: So I had to do two years of research in
52:27
Speaker 1: order before me to do the first one. And so
52:30
Speaker 1: in in that process UM, I was able to to
52:34
Speaker 1: learn and glean from people like yourself and people that
52:38
Speaker 1: were out in the industry and to be able to
52:40
Speaker 1: pull pull pull this off. But uh, we started off
52:45
Speaker 1: as a three day event, and I'd probably have to
52:49
Speaker 1: see a burning bush before I do a three days.
52:51
Speaker 1: But then we then we nailed it down to a
52:54
Speaker 1: two days then and then by accident, we had all
52:58
Speaker 1: of this b role um or footage that we couldn't
53:03
Speaker 1: place because we didn't really know, you know, how to places.
53:06
Speaker 1: So we ended up developing a half hour weekly and
53:10
Speaker 1: we cut up the shows into half hour segments and
53:13
Speaker 1: sold it as Gospel Supers Backstage Past. That particular brand
53:19
Speaker 1: was one of the launch vehicles for the Bounce Network.
53:23
Speaker 1: It was one of the launch vehicles for at Matthew
53:25
Speaker 1: Johnson's Inspired Network. It aired for nine years on TBN,
53:29
Speaker 1: which is the largest Christian network in the world. But
53:33
Speaker 1: all of this happened by accident because we didn't know
53:35
Speaker 1: what we were doing. We just had recorded all these
53:36
Speaker 1: acts and we had all of this footage and we're like,
53:38
Speaker 1: when we do with it? You know. So, so now
53:41
Speaker 1: that we know what our deliberables are, we can shoot
53:45
Speaker 1: you know, five forty minutes. You know, one hour special
53:48
Speaker 1: in syndication is forty four minutes and thirty seconds, and
53:51
Speaker 1: the rest of his commercials. So now we can shoot
53:54
Speaker 1: five one hour specials in one night. But when we
53:57
Speaker 1: first started, we were just doing the specials. We would
54:00
Speaker 1: is doing a concert and letting the cameras roll throughout
54:03
Speaker 1: the entire concert, not really thinking about the deliverables. Well,
54:07
Speaker 1: after nine years, i mean nineteen years, excuse me, we're
54:11
Speaker 1: you know, rethinking this is we're wait a minute, you know,
54:13
Speaker 1: we don't want to overrecord, and we don't, and then
54:15
Speaker 1: a record label is calling us, you know, we haven't
54:17
Speaker 1: seen our act on TV or and so we record
54:21
Speaker 1: now strategically for the deliverables, and so we don't have
54:24
Speaker 1: to record three and four nights. We can just record
54:27
Speaker 1: one night and pull off the entire season with one
54:31
Speaker 1: one session with you. You you're allowing me to deliver
54:35
Speaker 1: it on my podcast by Live radio show, by Serious
