- 1:04Speaker 3: Dion Sanders, Rishon Rishond Baby, we finally owned it together.
- 1:10Speaker 3: I miss you, man.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I'm telling you something. This is greatful.
- 1:13Speaker 1: You to say that because Dion's a special person to me,
- 1:16Speaker 1: and you know, our relationship is unique in itself because
- 1:19Speaker 1: he's a natural motivator. That's why this is a relationship.
- 1:22Speaker 1: We've been knowing each other about fifteen to fifteen years
- 1:25Speaker 1: for sure, and he know I've always been inspired by
- 1:28Speaker 1: his natural gifts.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Why are you just such a natural motivator, Dion?
- 1:34Speaker 3: And I think it's something that I saw as a child.
- 1:39Speaker 3: I saw a mother who worked careless just so ends
- 1:43Speaker 3: could see one another because they never met. I saw
- 1:47Speaker 3: a father that struggled with drug addiction, stepfather that struggled
- 1:51Speaker 3: with alcoholism. I saw an inner city that I was
- 1:54Speaker 3: engulfed in that I lived in and then I resided,
- 1:57Speaker 3: and that was headed nowhere in no direction. And something
- 2:01Speaker 3: inside of me said, you could take a little bit
- 2:03Speaker 3: of this from your mama. You could take a little
- 2:05Speaker 3: bit of that and from this. You can take a
- 2:06Speaker 3: little bit of that and be whatever you want to be.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And no one can stop you if you focus and
- 2:11Speaker 3: put your mind to it. No one can stop you
- 2:14Speaker 3: if you don't quit. And that was the formula.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Now, but you know, but you, but you you You
- 2:20Speaker 1: describe a background or an environment where there are nothing
- 2:24Speaker 1: but roadblocks in life. But you have this natural I
- 2:29Speaker 1: can win personality. Da You know that at.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Prime time things different posh and I see things different,
- 2:37Speaker 3: Like like, I'm a football coach and some days it rains,
- 2:40Speaker 3: And the first thing I do, the coaches say, well,
- 2:42Speaker 3: prim it may rain today. I say, what's a percentage.
- 2:46Speaker 3: They say, well, it's a forty percent chance it's gonna rain.
- 2:48Speaker 3: I say, what that means is a sixty percent chance.
- 2:50Speaker 3: It ain't right. That's just the way I look at that.
- 2:52Speaker 3: I just always look at the positive. And everything negative
- 2:57Speaker 3: is easy to see. It's easy to really it's easier
- 3:00Speaker 3: to take a chance with it. But the positive is
- 3:03Speaker 3: something that people overlook. We always think about what we
- 3:07Speaker 3: don't have instead of thinking about what we do.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Because here's the thing about them, I don't know, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 1: we must be like this moon be circling whatever. I'm
- 3:16Speaker 1: down or something. And I'm one of those guys who
- 3:19Speaker 1: stay up all the time. I can always get a
- 3:21Speaker 1: text from you. Keep your head up, brother. You know
- 3:25Speaker 1: the blessings are going to come your way.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Now.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I know you just don't do it for me, but
- 3:30Speaker 1: you still take the time to remind your friends.
- 3:34Speaker 2: There's always a brighter day. That's amazing, Sean.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I have a text list of a couple hundred people
- 3:40Speaker 3: that they've been getting my texts over twenty years every
- 3:44Speaker 3: morning between certain hours now I'm off on weekend, but
- 3:49Speaker 3: Monday through Friday, they get it. Like, for instance, this morning,
- 3:53Speaker 3: say get yourself together and do what you know you
- 3:56Speaker 3: need to do and be what you desire to be.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Trim the fat off your life. Right now he's holding
- 4:01Speaker 3: you back, and you know it. Truth, just a simple
- 4:05Speaker 3: That's the first thing to hit my spirit when I
- 4:07Speaker 3: woke up this morning, and I put it.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Out and guess what, and it's received.
- 4:12Speaker 1: And the thing about it is that Deanna has always
- 4:16Speaker 1: known me because yeah, I see him as a talented, handsome, articulate,
- 4:21Speaker 1: entertaining guy, and but he always put family.
- 4:24Speaker 2: First and kids first.
- 4:26Speaker 1: When I say kids, I'm talking about his youth program,
- 4:29Speaker 1: his educational program. Because I would tell him, Man, let's
- 4:31Speaker 1: go to LA do a sitcom, Let's go to LA
- 4:33Speaker 1: do a talk show, Let's go to New York. He said, Rasha,
- 4:36Speaker 1: can you do your talk show on one day?
- 4:40Speaker 3: You know what. We've had some real conversations like that too. Man,
- 4:43Speaker 3: It's like bron you could do this like okay, but
- 4:45Speaker 3: but can they shoot him in Dallas? You know, because
- 4:48Speaker 3: I'm telling you that you're you're exactly right. You're you're
- 4:52Speaker 3: not lying, but well, first of all, you don't lie anyway,
- 4:54Speaker 3: but by any means, you are telling the truth. Because
- 4:57Speaker 3: I understand what's my purpose is tied to my passion.
- 5:01Speaker 3: You know, if I'm not passionate about it, it cannot
- 5:04Speaker 3: be my purpose. And God blesses what I'm passionate about,
- 5:09Speaker 3: and them things I want to do, but it ain't me.
- 5:12Speaker 3: I would love to do it, but it ain't me.
- 5:13Speaker 3: And you got the decipher in your life between what
- 5:16Speaker 3: you are are you really passionate about and God would
- 5:18Speaker 3: bless it? Or things that you want to do, And
- 5:21Speaker 3: it's like deciding between needs and wants. Once upon a time,
- 5:25Speaker 3: I used to go and get whatever I want it
- 5:27Speaker 3: because I had you know, that type of cash, and
- 5:29Speaker 3: you could get whatever you want it. Now it's all
- 5:31Speaker 3: about your needs. You still have the resources, I still
- 5:33Speaker 3: have the finances to do it, but now I'm more
- 5:36Speaker 3: importantly focused on my needs.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Not right right right?
- 5:39Speaker 1: And you and your family too and what they can
- 5:41Speaker 1: do and what they and the legacy and that, but
- 5:44Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody about that. You know, we
- 5:46Speaker 1: laugh about it, but I just want to let everybody
- 5:49Speaker 1: and know. It's something about what's important to not only you,
- 5:53Speaker 1: but the people that you impact along the way. And
- 5:57Speaker 1: that's important to you because, like I said, like you said,
- 5:59Speaker 1: you know you've done. You've been an incredible baseball player,
- 6:04Speaker 1: an incredible football player, or.
- 6:06Speaker 2: The entertainer in the music industry.
- 6:08Speaker 1: You acted, You've done all these things, but it all
- 6:11Speaker 1: came back to what you can do for the next person.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And you have turned down millions, flared about millions of opportunities.
- 6:20Speaker 1: I say that's negative, because you felt that there was
- 6:23Speaker 1: a better opportunity to change lives.
- 6:26Speaker 3: This part of my piece, it is part of my purpose,
- 6:30Speaker 3: ties me to my piece. So when I'm acting in
- 6:32Speaker 3: my purpose now I activate my piece. Perfect example, we
- 6:36Speaker 3: had a high school baseball game and I took most
- 6:39Speaker 3: members of the team to this piece of property that
- 6:41Speaker 3: I own in nine acres lake, I mean ac rich
- 6:43Speaker 3: and I'm sitting up there with the guys in a
- 6:45Speaker 3: circle and I'm teaching them about life and property. I say, see,
- 6:49Speaker 3: let me tell you something. Somebody could go out there
- 6:51Speaker 3: and buy a Rose Wars Phantom, which is going to
- 6:54Speaker 3: be four hundred and fifty maybe a half a million dollars.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Time you drive their car off the lot, that depreciates
- 6:59Speaker 3: thirty percent. And now that's what you're dealing with. Then
- 7:02Speaker 3: it's a new car. Come my next year. People want that.
- 7:05Speaker 3: It's a new one. So your car constantly depreciates. Now
- 7:08Speaker 3: you could buy this property for the same costs, and
- 7:11Speaker 3: not only will it appreciate, but now you get to
- 7:14Speaker 3: the point where I'm willing it down to my son.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Right then he's keeping it in the family for his sons.
- 7:19Speaker 3: It constantly appreciates, and you can enjoy year after year
- 7:23Speaker 3: after year, and just teaching them little things like that
- 7:26Speaker 3: that we don't think about and no one teaches us.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And that's a big thing, because you know, I was
- 7:31Speaker 1: talking to a gentleman in Houston and he's throwing a
- 7:33Speaker 1: documentary on black farmers how they're losing their land because
- 7:37Speaker 1: the younger generation they see the land as they don't
- 7:39Speaker 1: see the value in the land, and they just sell it.
- 7:42Speaker 2: And so black farmers are losing their property.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But as they always say, God's not making more earth,
- 7:48Speaker 1: okay earth, He's not making more land.
- 7:50Speaker 3: You don't make them more But see, that's why I
- 7:52Speaker 3: love you, my brother, because I mean, and you downplay
- 7:55Speaker 3: it because you're a humble person. But the times that
- 7:57Speaker 3: I've called you for advice on the next move for
- 8:00Speaker 3: a career, I mean, you're looking at it as you're
- 8:03Speaker 3: looking at it as a person who's been there, done that,
- 8:06Speaker 3: a person who is not just looking at his own
- 8:09Speaker 3: come up, but looking at men saying, okay, for you,
- 8:12Speaker 3: this is what's best for you. But we can talk
- 8:15Speaker 3: about those type of things because we have that type
- 8:17Speaker 3: of relationship, right But oftentimes men, men of color and
- 8:20Speaker 3: men of status, we never even conversate with each other
- 8:22Speaker 3: because we're so busy competing and that's ignorant. So you've
- 8:26Speaker 3: never been that way, and I appreciate you for it.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Can I be? Can I be?
- 8:29Speaker 1: And that's why because because a person like you, who
- 8:32Speaker 1: I followed your entire career. And before we go to
- 8:35Speaker 1: the next break, I want to talk about how did
- 8:38Speaker 1: you because see, branding is the word just thrown around
- 8:40Speaker 1: by everybody. Everybody got a brand, everybody said they are brand.
- 8:44Speaker 2: For prid time.
- 8:46Speaker 1: How did you figure it out? Because man, you're a
- 8:48Speaker 1: legend dude, you're a legend. I look at the NFL combines,
- 8:52Speaker 1: I look at those players call you on Sunday nights
- 8:54Speaker 1: on your show. They all know the who you are,
- 8:58Speaker 1: and that means that you're very relevant. But to the
- 9:00Speaker 1: modern day player, and a lot of players can't do that,
- 9:03Speaker 1: they can't feel how they can just still be themselves
- 9:07Speaker 1: and relatable. But Prime Time, the branding machine, is very relatable.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Why well, First and foremost, I think people are crazy
- 9:16Speaker 3: and they understand that it's not October, it ain't Halloween.
- 9:21Speaker 3: They know who's trick or treat nowadays, and they know
- 9:23Speaker 3: what's real. They know it's genuine, and they know when
- 9:26Speaker 3: I talk to them, when I articulate myself to them,
- 9:29Speaker 3: it's no motive. There's nothing behind the curtains that I'm
- 9:31Speaker 3: trying to get garnish from them because I have means
- 9:34Speaker 3: and I have ways. But this is all started in college. Man.
- 9:37Speaker 3: I played a position that wasn't handsomely paid, and I
- 9:41Speaker 3: forfeited an opportunity to play professional baseball out of high
- 9:44Speaker 3: school because I rolled the dice on myself. That's something
- 9:47Speaker 3: that I don't bet in Vegas, but I'm gonna bet
- 9:49Speaker 3: on Prime all day long. So I said, you know what,
- 9:52Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to college and play this football thing
- 9:54Speaker 3: because my goal and my dream is to retire my
- 9:56Speaker 3: mama for the rest of her life. And once this eight, yeah,
- 10:00Speaker 3: once this agent showed me the finances that a cornerback
- 10:04Speaker 3: commands in the NFL, I was upset, I was saying,
- 10:07Speaker 3: because I started reflecting. I started to reflect on the
- 10:10Speaker 3: opportunities that passed out of high school. What did I
- 10:13Speaker 3: start thinking about? Okay, this type of money that they're
- 10:17Speaker 3: paying d.
- 10:18Speaker 2: D hold that thought, man, hold that thought.
- 10:20Speaker 1: We're gonna have more own How the prime time came
- 10:23Speaker 1: about in college?
- 10:24Speaker 2: On our next break with Dion Sanders, Welcome back to
- 10:30Speaker 2: the Money Making Conversations masterclass hosted by Rushawn McDonald. How
- 10:36Speaker 2: does Rashan McDonald?
- 10:37Speaker 1: You're listening to Money Making Conversations And before we left,
- 10:41Speaker 1: we was talking to my main man, Deon Sanders, and
- 10:43Speaker 1: he was telling us about the evolution of prime time. Now, Diane,
- 10:47Speaker 1: you were saying that you could have played baseball straight
- 10:49Speaker 1: out of high school, pro baseball, but you opted to
- 10:52Speaker 1: play football at the defensive back position for the Florida State.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Then you got to what your agent you realize how
- 10:57Speaker 1: much money was being made that the evolution of prime
- 11:01Speaker 1: time started to you all talk to us about that.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Well, let me slow it down. It was Asians trying
- 11:07Speaker 3: to solicit me up until my sophomore year, so they
- 11:11Speaker 3: knew I was going to be a baseball player as
- 11:14Speaker 3: well as a football player, so they were soliciting me early.
- 11:18Speaker 3: And one happened to send me the status of how
- 11:22Speaker 3: much defensive backs made in the NFL, and I was
- 11:25Speaker 3: alarmed that they were one of the worst paid positions.
- 11:28Speaker 3: It really upset me, so I really sat down. Now
- 11:30Speaker 3: you better understand. In nineteen eighty five, I came to
- 11:33Speaker 3: Florida State where the Firebird where the front license Tate
- 11:37Speaker 3: you said Primetime. I thought it was my nickname out
- 11:40Speaker 3: of high school, so I already had the moniker. So
- 11:43Speaker 3: now it was just enacting it and really marketing it
- 11:47Speaker 3: and saying to myself, you know what, I got to
- 11:49Speaker 3: create something that surpasses any defensive back in the game
- 11:53Speaker 3: because I got the goods, So now I got to
- 11:55Speaker 3: give you the drama in the game and the intellect
- 11:58Speaker 3: and the savviness and the sponge an antea and I
- 12:01Speaker 3: sat in my dormitory room with a black book and
- 12:04Speaker 3: wrote down probably about twenty five to fifty quotes that
- 12:07Speaker 3: I would say after the game, and I memorized it. It
- 12:09Speaker 3: was like if I had a great game, they say,
- 12:13Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm the best thing since
- 12:15Speaker 3: Peter but a jelly baby, I thought y'all knew and
- 12:17Speaker 3: those things would go national. So now this this added attention,
- 12:21Speaker 3: and now they were getting much more than just the
- 12:23Speaker 3: defence back. They was getting someone of an entertainer, somewhat
- 12:26Speaker 3: of a person who would command people to come see
- 12:29Speaker 3: and play, whether they hated them or loved them. And
- 12:31Speaker 3: that's what prime time. The brand had came and I
- 12:33Speaker 3: just materialized it in my dormitory room in college.
- 12:37Speaker 1: But not nobody hated you. Now, I'll tell you them
- 12:40Speaker 1: when it came to returning.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Punchs, opposing teams, opposing teams there.
- 12:44Speaker 2: For they respected you.
- 12:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you something, man, because everybody wanted
- 12:48Speaker 1: you on their team.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Now it was fear. See.
- 12:51Speaker 1: See, I'm just when I used to watch you because
- 12:53Speaker 1: I was I'm from Texas and I'm just watching this
- 12:56Speaker 1: this this guy just just doing some things that I
- 13:00Speaker 1: had never seen before with style, with articulation, you know,
- 13:03Speaker 1: and then when did the high step, you know, going
- 13:06Speaker 1: in the end zone with the touchdown?
- 13:08Speaker 2: When did that come about? What was the evolution of man?
- 13:10Speaker 3: That's seven years old plans for the Fort Myns rebels
- 13:14Speaker 3: and Fort Mynes flaughter. Man, that means, you know, that's
- 13:17Speaker 3: what That's what Walter Payton did when he was in
- 13:20Speaker 3: the pros and we grew up watching him. But that's
- 13:22Speaker 3: that's the things that we emulated. Then we got an
- 13:25Speaker 3: the end zone and we did the Billy Wright shoes
- 13:26Speaker 3: Johnson the way back in the day. I mean, we
- 13:29Speaker 3: danced because it was a happy time and life and
- 13:31Speaker 3: a happy moment. And we knew that no one in
- 13:34Speaker 3: my family matriculated to college. Man, no one went to college, right,
- 13:37Speaker 3: that wasn't even a thought. So being in the first
- 13:39Speaker 3: and being someone that said, you know, I'm gonna get
- 13:41Speaker 3: out of here because the only thing was getting us
- 13:44Speaker 3: out was the armed forces or job corps, that's the
- 13:47Speaker 3: only thing that's or jail, that's what people was leaving
- 13:49Speaker 3: to go to. And it tripped me out. Someone was
- 13:52Speaker 3: getting ready to go to prison for twenty years and
- 13:54Speaker 3: they throwing them a party in the crib I'm like,
- 13:56Speaker 3: what's wrong with y'all? Man, hein't going to jail. That's
- 13:59Speaker 3: to celebrate, right, And that's just all that kind of
- 14:01Speaker 3: stuff that changed my life. It just changed my whole
- 14:04Speaker 3: thought process that I got to get up out of here.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Now this is now. Now you're a legend in so
- 14:10Speaker 1: many ways. First of all, the forty second time at
- 14:13Speaker 1: the NFL Combine. You know, I know, John Ross supposedly
- 14:17Speaker 1: broke your record against what whatever. Okay, you were able
- 14:21Speaker 1: to run that fat and become a Hall of Famer. Now,
- 14:25Speaker 1: the thing I love about you is that you talked
- 14:27Speaker 1: about Billy white hues. Johnson, I knew the little chicken
- 14:30Speaker 1: wing leg. But players are still doing the.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Prime time stroll in the end zone.
- 14:37Speaker 1: See See, That's why I know why you're still relevant
- 14:40Speaker 1: because people, the people, the players still understand that they
- 14:43Speaker 1: can communicate with you.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And it shows every.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Time at the NFL Combine like this, every type a
- 14:48Speaker 1: player came over you, whether it was white or black.
- 14:51Speaker 1: They knew they could relax and talk like I would say,
- 14:54Speaker 1: real to Dionne.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Is that correct?
- 14:57Speaker 3: That's that's correct, Because I'm there too give them to
- 15:01Speaker 3: give to them, to make the support them to encourage them,
- 15:04Speaker 3: and a lot of players that I'm fond of that
- 15:06Speaker 3: I meet for the first time. I can myself. Man,
- 15:08Speaker 3: if you got a problem, man call me. Man, call
- 15:11Speaker 3: me before the house catch on fire. Man. I want
- 15:13Speaker 3: you to call me when you think you smell smoke
- 15:15Speaker 3: so I can help you get up out of there.
- 15:18Speaker 3: You said the same, Yeah, yeah, I just I just
- 15:21Speaker 3: love these kids, man, and I don't want them to
- 15:23Speaker 3: make the same mistakes I made because there was no
- 15:26Speaker 3: communication or conversation. Because when you reach that level, no
- 15:29Speaker 3: one wants to help you, No one wants to talk
- 15:31Speaker 3: to you, and then you can't turn to your family members.
- 15:33Speaker 3: They ain't never been nowhere. I mean, how you gonna
- 15:35Speaker 3: tell me about how to how to balance this check
- 15:38Speaker 3: book and how to how to understand what I need
- 15:41Speaker 3: to purchase and what I don't need to purchase. And
- 15:43Speaker 3: you ain't never had none, I don't. It was no
- 15:44Speaker 3: one to talk to in your family because you're supporting
- 15:47Speaker 3: the entire family and friends.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Now that goes back to albom saying. Is that is
- 15:52Speaker 1: that you have to have a supporting group around you
- 15:55Speaker 1: that not only believe in your brand, but that you
- 15:58Speaker 1: can trust. How did you come about developing that strong
- 16:02Speaker 1: support base that protects you but also advises you, but
- 16:06Speaker 1: also to challenge you.
- 16:09Speaker 3: For foolish mistakes. I made some idiotic mistake, and you
- 16:13Speaker 3: learn from trialing the era. I had a gentleman that
- 16:16Speaker 3: blessed me that passed away a few years ago, named
- 16:19Speaker 3: Eugene Parker, African American agent, one of the powerhouse agents
- 16:22Speaker 3: in the game. And Eugenie and I met when I
- 16:25Speaker 3: was still in college, and he oversaw my entire career.
- 16:28Speaker 3: He was always saved, always went home to his wife,
- 16:31Speaker 3: always was a man of God, always a good person.
- 16:33Speaker 3: And he allowed me to develop into what I am now.
- 16:37Speaker 3: But he never pushed me, never shoved me, because he
- 16:40Speaker 3: know it would have been too premature. So he let
- 16:42Speaker 3: me get a lot of things out of my system.
- 16:45Speaker 3: But also he would guide me. The thing about a
- 16:47Speaker 3: cut man in the corner and a coach in the corner.
- 16:49Speaker 3: In a boxing man, she's telling you left, right, left, right,
- 16:52Speaker 3: But when you get hit, all that stuff throws you off.
- 16:55Speaker 3: And I was hit a few times, you know, by
- 16:57Speaker 3: some nonsense that I didn't expect. He was always there
- 17:01Speaker 3: telling me what was wrong, right and what was wrong.
- 17:04Speaker 3: So I really had no catastrophic ignorance in my life.
- 17:09Speaker 3: I had some bull jump that I can't control that
- 17:11Speaker 3: divorces and all that kind of message. We that's just
- 17:13Speaker 3: being a man and foolish living. But all together, I
- 17:18Speaker 3: kind of kept it on the road.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Get on, I want to talk about Prime five. That's
