• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of all you spectacular? I'm just let you know that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I've been a fan, and you know, I've been rousing

• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we we we we we we missed it
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: several times on press junk my time wouldn't let me go.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: When I was managing Steve Harvey, I believe you've been.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I have set up some interviews when he was when
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I was alway that managed him on the Steve Harvey
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. But all along the process of developing your brand,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Uh what what? What has pushed you? What has driven
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you to the success? You know, it's so funny. It's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: so much of what you said at that at the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: top of the show. The things that you say setting
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: up the show resonated for me because one of the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: biggest things that drives me is stepping into my gift.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I talked about it all the time, right, It's almost
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like you have a responsibility when you've been given certain
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: skills to live up to that potential. A lot of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: us don't, a lot of us coast, a lot of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: us just take it for granted. But I do feel
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a responsibility, whether it's because of you know, watching my
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: mom who didn't have much accomplished what she was able
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to accomplish, knowing that I have so much more that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: has been given to me that I've been blessed with.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's a sense of I need to operate and deliver
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: at my fullest potential at all times. So I never
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know what that's gonna mean, how that's gonna translate, what
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that's going to result in. But I know that whatever
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it is, I better show up and show out well
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you do. And that's that's the beauty of of you know.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I've had an interesting career a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: sitcom writer, you know, a producer, executive one. Unfortunately with me,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: some Emmys and Image Awards, all these things. You know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I know it important to me, and sometimes I trivialize
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: them because you know, you're on the ground all the time,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, and you just want
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to get that next, especially when you're an Africa in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: American you know, you know that there's no guarantees, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because the relationship, you gotta keep it and keep it moving.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But you know what I've been thinking about a lot,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Richard lately, just the need to sit still for a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: minute and to appreciate who you are right now in
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the moment. And it's not about I mean complacent. It's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: about taking stock and showing yourself appreciation right for what
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you've a published and then using that to propel you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to the next stage, because a lot of times, like
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you said, we'll go, go, go, go, go, that we
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: don't stop to really recognize where we've come from, where
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we are in the moment, and how we can take
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all of that experience, knowledge, know how you know, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and use it as we move forward. You know, I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: just I love hearing that from yourmona because of the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: fact that you know, I bought a building in Atlanta,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and so if we're the first time, you know, I've
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: been on I've been on you know, leaching in various spaces.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I've been on production lots and all that Hollywood, have
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: been New York, so it's always you know, at the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: end of that production deal, I had to pick up
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: my my trophies or my paintings and take them off
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the wall. And so this was the first time I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: olaus ta to put stuff I knew wasn't gonna leave.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And I really that's what that's what you're talking about,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, stopping and seeing and I and I and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I and my wife said, you love going off I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: look because I really get to see my life being
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: played out and the show and your life plays out
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: on a daily basis on TV. Your rewards. And that's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: really interesting because I know that when I have people
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: tell me about Rashan because I've I wrote your Sister
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Sister the Bonnigue to Jamie Fox and all this, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: people go, I see those shows on Netflix all the time.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That makes me feel good. How do you feel when
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: people talk about your work to you or you just
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hear people, or the reactions on you, the ratings and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the social media reaction. How does that make you feel? Mona.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because it goes back to that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: stopping to take stock and to show self appreciation. But
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think that my comp lishumans are reflected
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in the work that I do. Right like yesterday, the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: amazing honor of standing on that stage, you know, on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard and and being part of Missy's induction ceremony
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: as she was given her star on the Hollywood Walk
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of Fame, And in that moment, it just all came
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: flooding back that very first time I poked my head
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: into the backseat of that limo when I face met
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: her when he's something plus years ago, and she said, oh,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't need a manager. I'm not looking
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: for a manager and to fast forward and think that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I've had the ability to impact her life
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in a way that has maybe in some portion, way,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: shape or form right impacted what she has delivered to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the world and the people that that has touched. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's the whole idea that my contribution to her life
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: has impacted, you know, millions of people globally that I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: will never lay eyes on, never even see. That For
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: me is the gratification, that is the accomplishment that that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I think about when I think about what my life
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: has been. Of course, my children and seeing you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what they are accomplishing now in their lives and what
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be god knows what. But I'd like to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: think that when I see my daughter putting her foot
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: down or you know, pushing back on something, or when
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I see my son going hard and making sure that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: he's you know, delivering on his own expectations for himself,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I see a reflection of me and what I've contributed
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to their lives. So for me, that's the biggest, right,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the biggest uh accolade, I guess, if I had to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: find the right word, it's seeing how the impact that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I've had on others and on their lives. Um has come,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you know, full circle when it's out there now for
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the world's experience. We know the beauty of why I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: mentioned the thing. You know, we started with the word
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: talent manager, and so she knows this for a fact.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of times she was missing you know, Steve Harvey, Uh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: steven A. Smith and other people I have been fortunate
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to say, they put, you know, trust in my direction
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and so but some times you can be limited by
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: what people think of you as to manage you or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that's her, that's her girl, or that's her boy, you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and they don't realize that you can do more. That's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: why it's important for me to say the words executive
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: producer when I say Mona Scott y'all. That's why it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: important for me. You said published Arthur when I say
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Mona Scott y'all. That's why it's important for me to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: say CEO and found up moaning me Entertainment and Mona
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Me Productions. That's why it's important for me to say,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you know, love and hip hop because she's more than
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: what you expect and what she's been and she's fought
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: through what I've talked about she's leading with her gifts
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and showing you she's more than what you think. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in some ways she's seen in some of her all expectations.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And that's the beauty of being you correct and listen
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the ability now to hopefully right have the impact that
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I've had talking about listen with a completely different audience
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: right this show, it's in Spanguish, It's around a Latin
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: superstar who has millions and millions of fans and followers
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and people who adore her globally. So here was an
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity for me to tell her story and to do
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it on a massive platform like Amazon Prime. Those are
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: major accomplishments and strides for not only my company, but
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: for me as a producer as well. So it's constantly
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: about growth and this show is, you know, one more
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: growth experience in my career. And I think people are
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: going to see a completely different kind of programming that um,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I think they will respond well to. There's something joyful
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: about the show their lives, everything that they're sharing about
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: their lives, and it's a story of women empowerment and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the stories of a struggle of an artist making it
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: against all odds and that's something I personally can relate to.
• 10:47

  Speaker 1: audience and to bring into the world. And you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: for me again always excited about breaking new barriers and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and thank you so much for acknowledging that, you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: this was an opportunity for me, who has you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: been doing content firmly in you know, the African American space,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: been in hip hop for a very long time, to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: move into Latin music, to move into a global Latin audience,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to tell the story of a Latin you know, superstar
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: on the rise. But what I love about that is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: full of the elements of that story. The struggle, the love,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the triumphs, the adversities. Those are universal themes that language,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, there are no barriers to that. And I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: hope that when people watch it, what they take away
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: from it is the story of the experiences, that the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: joy of watching someone who is so open and vulnerable
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: just succeed at what they've set out to do. Well,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you know the thing that this is the thing that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I enjoy, you know, because we all know there's been
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a journey with what reality shows and rareity shows me
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: about content driven. This is a content driven reality show,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: which means that she's taken the elements of their life
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and sharing it, but moving into a creative format where
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: is entertaining, so she's not creating contrived moments. That's important
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to know about this, which was secondly portant to know
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about this, is that Naughty and Ralphie don't want to
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: lose their Spanish base. They said, look, we want to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: cross over, but we cannot cross over. And the reason
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I said that's important because that's where the spanklish spanglish
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: comes in. Because if they did the show entirely English,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that means they would have sold long to their base.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And so they're talking English and being there, they're just
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: started right there talk start talking Spanish right in the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: middle of English, and and you know, of a sudden
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the subtitles a drop right Underneathan, and then all of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a sudden there was started. Imagine my life being in
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the midst of that producing that for money, I would
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: be like, yeah, Spanish, English, and that's right, you know,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so I had a chance to prospect to perfect my
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Spanish as well. So that was about my God and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I protherish perspect you for it. But I'm just saying
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to everybody, is that is that this is an adventure,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and lifestyle is an adventure, and enjoy another culture. It's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: also an adventure to let you know how other cultures
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: are simulate into America, how they still communicate, how they
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: can slide between the two cultures from an English and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: a Spanish perspective, and it all feels very natural. Because
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: when I say that, is that, you know they what what? What? What?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Always gets to me with Mona shows, you know, she
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: would get people in bed, they even they'd be talking
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: like that at at the dinner table. I've yet to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: figure out how she's crafted that skilled I'm talking about,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: don't bad talking. They just talking like little dog running
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: around in bed and all that stuff. They'd be just
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: talking normal. I'm trying to figure out, Mota, how did
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you figure out that skilled? Where did you get that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: skilled to get people be talking like they at the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: dinner table. I credit my years of being a manager
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of my ability to get talented comfortable when you met
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the camera's falls away, But I will say that was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: one of the first sheet scenes we ever shot with them.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: So to their credit, they were just like I said,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: all I need you guys to do is be yourself.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Whatever you do, allow us to be here with just
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: fly on the wall and they you know, we're comfortable immediately.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: But I think it's just about people trusting and they
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: know that you know we're here to tell your story.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: You want. Nobody's going out the consent. You know you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: need to stop right now, and no nobody. I'm gonna
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: use the word do what she do? Okay, I've seen
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: reality short all she gets everybody it's like because they're
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not acting okay, they in bad and I'm not just
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: damn her to show what she do. They'd be in
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: bid just talking normal like eating chicken whatever, you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: watching Click, It's like you get it. That's a skill,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and that's a skill that I was comfortable. We call
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: those Sean, I call those scenes my pillow dog. You
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: have your most intimate discussions. Think about it. You just
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: significant other, let your guard down for the day, in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: your pajamas and you guys are just talking about the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: day life the future. So that's for me, that's always
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a great setting because that's what people have their life conversations. Well,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you know, because we're not the beauty of our conversation.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I'm happy with her. Is that I'm telling you this series,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: but I'm not really giving away little details that I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: need to not say because I want you to watch
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the series. But again this series, I would be honest
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: with you. I didn't know Noddy before this series. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: want to know more about her. I love her music. Uh.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: The man she's in love with, Ralphie, is a guy
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that I would sit out and hang out where. He's
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: an ordinary looking guy. He met her when he was chubby,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Like he said, now now he's killing it. He's killing
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: it now, you know in the in the upcoming episodes,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you know It's about being treated like an immigrant, like
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: she said, working without a green card and trying to survive.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And that's what this is, like you said it earlier,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: is about an empowerment series. It's about watching two a
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: couple share their relationship with the world and also seeing
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: how the world reacts to it. Being nervous about sharing it,
• 21:07
