• 2:44

• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So let's start with you. Tiffany, how is life treating you?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Before the show? Because what I try to do on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation Masterclass, I try to get nuggets of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: information people and the want to be you in a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: sense before you came on television a lot of people
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: inspire to do what you do. What are some of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the mistakes that people make? Are soon when they get it,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: when they get an opportunity to pursue your career type UM,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I think in the number one, thank you so much
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: for having me on your show, I do want to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: show you my appreciation for that. But I think what
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the world of social media, a lot of people
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: think it's easy or think that success comes overnight. So
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in order for me to have went to law school,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I first had to graduate undergrad So this law school
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: thing and me becoming a lawyer started back in two
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: thousand and six and so ten years from that is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen, you know, and now we're in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: two This is years and years of work just to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: get to where I am. And I think that in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the world of social media, people think that it happens overnight.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So when their dream is not happening fast enough, they
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: think that maybe other people had like a hand up,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or somebody like you know, gave them what they had.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But in reality, anything, um, any type of success comes
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with time, and it comes with a lot of work
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and a lot of focus, and a lot of dedication
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and just simply sticking to the path. And so what
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I would want people to know from me is that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this is definitely not a dream that happened overnight. This
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is something that I've been working on for years, for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: almost twenty years at this point. Well, congratulations Tiana Harrison.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Uh they list to show, as you know, they have
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a Kiana, she's a broker, Crystal she's a closing attorney.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Robin she's a broker. And a Tiffany she mentioned her
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: law background, she's a closing attorney. And Tianna you are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a luxury agent and Cure as a luxury agent. Now
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: what what what did the word luxury because is that
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a a certain cut office five hundred thousand dollars and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: up luxury a million dollars in up luxury. What is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the word luxury pop into the real estate business? I'm like,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I want to know if I'm in the luxury house basically, So, Rishan,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: thank you for having me. I will dive right into it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Um and I have actually adopted this from my counterpart
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Um Tiffany, that luxury is the ability to purchase, period
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: especially because there have been so many different disparities within
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: our community. So for me luxury is being able to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: get to the closing table to accomplish a dream up
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: home ownership. You say that that you have purchased real
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: estate on the commercial and residential side, so that is
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a luxury in general. We are in the South, so
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it could be subjective to price point. There are certain
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: areas that you can go to where luxury right might
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: mean five thousand dollars up, and then other areas where
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: luxury is a million enup. So it just depends. Because
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: still with being in the South, you can definitely get
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: more for your money as opposed to our alternative bigger cities.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I want to just tell you, ladies. First of all,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I find you both compelling and so I want to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: bring you back on my show. We're gonna do this
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: interview because I love having both of you. But I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: also want to give you your value because each one
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of you I could have spoken to individually. That's how
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: compelling you are because of the fact that I've done
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: my research. And then it's it's you know, the whole
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: television show is a component that as to why we're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: doing this interview today. But what you're accomplishing is black
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: women is equally powerful because of the fact that you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: we all know discrimination the issues out there. You are
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a woman, you are attractive women, and so that means
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that there's a certain stereotype that can come with that,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: unfortunately from men and also from women. Okay, so when
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you you when you're rolling through the whole process, especially
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on the legal antiffany, what what do you find this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: disappoints you as far as what people the perception that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: people have about you. And maybe not, maybe I'm wrong,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but I've been black all my life, so I know
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: what I know what the racism is, and I know
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: what stereo types is, and I know I've been underpaid
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and I know I've been discarded because of the color
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of my skin. Talk to us about your journey, which
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I would led to this television show. But there has
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: been a journey, like you said in your earlier speaking
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: early appresentation, talk about that. Okay, So we can talk
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: about this UM in two ways. And this is actually
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: something that is kind of on the surface of what's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: going on in my life right now. But we will
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: talk about just being a black woman attorney UM in Georgia.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And so sometimes we are looked at as if we
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: don't have enough education to be able to make proper decisions.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I've had times where I would be at the close
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and tape people and somebody would say to me, or
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: prior to the closing table, I'm gonna call so and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: so white law firm to see if what you're saying
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: is legitimate because I don't believe you. I don't think
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that you know what you're doing. Which is fine. You know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: this is what I tell people all the time. We
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: all passed the same bar, you know, and so that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: part that bar is what equalized all of us. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: didn't matter what school you went to, it didn't matter
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: your level of education. In order to become an attorney,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you had to pass that bar, and I did so
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: on the first time with flying colors. So when people
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: want to um, stay that maybe I'm not as educated
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: because the color of my skin, or maybe because how
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I look, um, you know, I just take it with
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a grain of salt because I know who I am,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and I know my education, and I have a successful
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: black law firm in Atlanta that are that is doing wonderfully,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: not just monst people who look like me, but amongst
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: my other counterparts. They still support, UM, my business and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just as successful because of them as well. Um
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: within our community, there is so since the last episode,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been able to get caught
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: up me and the other clothes an attorney. It's not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that we like each other or we dislike each other.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We've just never grown into having a friendship. And viewers
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of the show have turned that into maybe possibly me
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: not liking Crystal because of the color of her skin,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: because she's darker than me, And so you're they're bringing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in this whole colorism thing. I did a lot with
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: my mother, which if people see my mother, my mother
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is darker than every castmate on Ladies Who List. Colorism
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: was a huge thing um with her and with the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: upbringing of me. It is something that we talked about.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: My mother was in a household where all her siblings
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: were lighter than her. Her mother and her father were
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: lighted than her, and so she grew up being the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: black child, and this shaped her into not even wanting
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: dark skinned children because she felt like the darkness of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: her skin was negative, which is why you have me
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a mixed child, you know what I'm saying. So it's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: really deeply rooted. It's a really big issue, and it
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: has affected my family seriously, and to have viewers try
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to accuse me of doing so, which I never respond
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to any of the entertainment opinions, but this kind of
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: hit me hard because I know personally what I've gone through,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So you kind of get it from both sides. But
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in all of it, you have to I have to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: remain positive and grateful that Number one, I even have
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this platform to be able to discuss issues like this,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and I have this platform to show people it doesn't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: matter if you're black, it doesn't matter if you're white.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: You can succeed and and do what's necessary to get
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to wherever you want to go. Wow, And I understand that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And I have six sisters, two brothers, you know, and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it's interesting in the black family, nobody's the same shade.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We'll be right back with more Money Making
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Conversations Masterclass with Rashan McDonald. Now, let's return to Money
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashan McDonald. That when I interview
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: people who on these type of shows, these unscripted shows,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you can become a victim of editing. You
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: can become a victim of the story. You know, that's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: not that's not how where they went. But they're trying
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to be entertainment and you have to deal with it
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: on social media, have to explain yourself sometimes. Now you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I know why we do this. You know, we try
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to broaden our career. We try to build our brand.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: We're trying to build our social media. Also, these basically
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: can be giant info commercials if it works out right,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that's correct. Okay, Now, you being who you are, you
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: know you already come from I would say a celebrity
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: type background because of your your husband. You know, he's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: high profile football players, super Bowl champion twice. This Bridge Dealers,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, my favorite team. Okay, enough, so I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: throw that out there and so so talk about you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: because that can come into your into this conversation. And
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, you know that was a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: huge part of your bio, was him, and I cut
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it out. I would I ain't we ain't gonna, they
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: got nothing to do and what people want to throw
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that in? So so, but you're trying to build you
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: who you are, your brand. Talk about that leveling of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: trying to build your brand and while you're doing this
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: show all right, So you know it's it's a little
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: bit of a challenge because while my brand is something
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that I had to get out there and work at
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and work on, my husband is an integral part of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: my journey. So if you know me, you understand that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I'm so inclusive, totally inclusive of the black male leadership
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: influence like that is my thing. So I never want
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to exclude him from my story. I was wrong. You
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: were absolutely on top of it and that, and I'm
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: glad that you brought that up. But I have to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: tell you how much I promote um men in your position,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I promote men and my husband's position because he supports
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: who I am and he supports what I do, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: he would have had the same response that you did.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, this is a dominant black female who
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: was doing amazing things, so that is his stance as well.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So when it came down to that, you can't negate
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the story exactly. But as you're stating, I have to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: put in a lot of groundwork to get me where
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I am right now. I had to cultivate a lot
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of different relationships. I had to make sure that the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: respect was mutual on both sides of the fence as
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: far as you know, within my clientele and as far
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: as our households. So having that having that respect from
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: him and for him has totally been a been instrumental
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: in my progress, in my development and the success that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I've had. So I hope that answers it a little bit.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: He's great at what he's does, what he does and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: what he has done in the past. But we have
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: um triumph through some very difficult times. So I didn't
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: come into this, you know, with the financial status that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: some may feel. But we work together throughout those transitions
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of football to get to where we both are. Right now,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: there you go. I love it. I love it now.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I gotta this is what the end of. You become selfish,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: nep you know, because I bought of the few houses
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in my time. I'm talking to the closing the turney here, okay,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and then you slide that big old piece of paper
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in front, I mean a piece of I wish it
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: was a piece of paper. I may take the time
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to read it. It's about it's a Bible. It's really
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a Bible. Nobody reads a Bible in one day, Okay,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And you gotta close on the day that they tell
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you too. So could you please tell me, Tiffany Halls, No,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: first time ball passed it, Georgia law, you know it,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: black and white. You're the best. What is it that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: deck of pages that I can't under? I can't take time?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: What the end if the order because of that? Or
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: who your cousin named by being there? You don't know?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Help me out? Okay, So let me let me break
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: this down. If it's if you're buying a property cash
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and the paperwork is not gonna be that heavy. It's
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: gonna be about ten documents, and those documents are gonna
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: be in favor of the law firm. If the law
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: all firm messes up, this is how we can get
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: our money. This is how we can fix the issue,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and you have to agree to fix it. So when
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you are and it's it's pretty much that simple. When
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you're getting financing, that's when we're having these Bible stacks
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of paper. And so the way that I try to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: tell my first time home buyers is this, These are
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: all the ways the lender camp for close on you
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: if you stop paying for your mortgage. Every document is
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: here because at some point a lender was sued and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: they want or maybe a lender tried to foreclose and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: they couldn't. So all the documents are in favor of
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the lender to make sure that if you don't pay
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: your mortgage that they can get their money back. So,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: as a buyer, what is important to you out of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: this hundred and fifty page stack of paper, what is
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: important to you? Number one? What's important to you is
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: going to be your clothes and disclosure or your settlements,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and this is what outlines all the numbers. So you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that your credits are there. If
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the seller is giving five thousand dollars and closing costs,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you want to make sure that's there. If you have
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: put down earnest money, you want to make sure that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that's there. You want to make sure the lender is
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: not overcharging you. You want to make sure that the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: attorney's office is not overcharging you. And what you expected
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: to bring to closing is on that closing disclosure. The
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: next big document that you want to make sure is
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: correct is your note. This is your promise to pay
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: back this loan and it has your interest rate on there.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So if the whole time you've been speaking to your lender,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and your lender has said that you were getting a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: two point five percent interest rate, But you get to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: my closing table and that note says five percent. Your
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: interest rate is five percent. You want to make sure
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that on that note it has your proper interest rate,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and so that is a document that you care about.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: You also care about the title to your property. You
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that your name is spelled correctly.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You want to make sure that the legal scare shins
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: correct so that you're buying and purchasing the correct property.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You want to make sure that if you have a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: spouse that's supposed to be on that d, that they
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: are on that D. Okay. You also want to look
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: at your amortization. This is the most scariest document out
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of all of them, right, it's all scary. I'm sorry,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Now, this one's scary scary because you're borrowing
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousands, but yet you're having to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: pay back seven hundred thousands. So this amortization outlines that,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and it shows you how your scheduled payments go over
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the full life of the loan. And most of the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: time people are getting dirty years for the loan. But
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I also educate you that if you pay more down
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: on your principle, now this amortization it switches, it changes,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and now you're not paying as money back with the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: additional interest as you should after that. Honestly, doesn't matter
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: what you're signing, you're either gonna agree to it and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: get your house or you're not. The lender is not
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: going to negotiate anything. So I have I have to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that inside now, Tiana. Now, so you're walking me into
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: this door. You know, you know, I've never met Tiffany
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: in my life. Usually that's the case, you know what
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I've been working. You run me all
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: over the neighborhood, walk me to some properties. I kind
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of like, I don't like you know, you know, you
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: might have oversold some stuff and not walking in and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: go okay, really, I don't know about that. You tell me,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you know, they might say a million. I said, I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: want five hundred thousand. You said, look, you might will
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: get out this building because anybody gonna give you that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: price for that. So you try to keep a certain
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: level of sanity in my purchasing mind. Now, when you're
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: dealing with a person and they how do how do
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you establish that relationship with a potential client. Just walk
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: us through that step process that you do, Tiana. Okay,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: so you know, first things first, we have to have
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: a consultation. I have to see where you are and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you have to you know, go through my processes, UM
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and see if it works for you. And you're you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you could be you, it could be you and your family,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: it could be you and a significant other UM, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: so it just has to work for you. We have
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a consultation, we discuss the things that are important to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: your purchase. UM. We we talk about whether you're gonna
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: finance the property or whether you're going to purchase the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: property cash or whatever. You know, way you're going to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: UM get the property conveyed to you. Typically it's finance.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And as Tiffany discussed, once we get there, you're gonna
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: get that stack of papers. But prior to we're gonna
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: go out and we're gonna look at homes whichever you're
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you feel comfortable that approval mount is. Then we're gonna
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: go look at homes within that realm and decide on
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: what's the best property for you investment wise, Because I
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: oftentimes when people purchase their first property, it's not there
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: forever home, and you have to understand that you may
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not get everything that you want within that first property,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: but it is your tool to building wealth for the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: next property or for the properties succumb down the line.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: So it's vitally important that you speak with a reputable
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: agent who understands the market and who is knowledgeable in
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the market because markets change and trends change. So once
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: we find the home of that you want, or find
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a home that's best fit for you, then I link
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you with my preferred closing attorney, Tiffany, and her the lender,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and myself we get together so that we can successfully
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: get you to the closing table. When you meet Tiffany
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Um as a first time HomeBuyer, she walks you through
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: every single step of the thick stack of paper that
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you'll go through, and you're gonna say, why am I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: signing a document? Or four times it says that if
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: this property for a close, it's got done, And it's
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: because they have to tell you over and over again
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: what it is that you're signing. And so we just
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: basically I'm a calming I'm a calming agent to get
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: you through this process because it can have a lot
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of ups and downs, and so I'm gonna hold your
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: hand the hallway, girl, and make sure that you're okay
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: even when we get to the bumps of the road.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I am enjoying this interview. I'm talking to two of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the stars and six of them, but I'm talking only
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: too of the ladies who list Atlanta is uh six
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: top notch females in the real estate of profession seld
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the city of Atlanta. And you know, it's a reality
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: show docuseries, so they have drama, they talk about their
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: personal lives and sometimes arguments, which I always hate. And
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I see arguments on the show, you know, they always
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: want to always want to magnify the argument, you know,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: like there's confrontation that's uh. That that drives my my
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: reason to watch. What drives my reason to watch his intellect,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Roger rides my reason to watch is being able to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: get information. And I think that's what we've advanced. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I appreciate this conversation and you're delivering exactly what I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: thought I would get from you. You guys have educated me,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: educated my audience because of the fact that this show
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: has value and and a lot of people don't understand
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: that because they don't get caught up into the looks
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to close the houses. The tone of the show where
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the tone of the show, it's about six intelligent women
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: who are making inroads into this business. I'm fortunate that
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I'm getting to speak to two of them. And if
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you listen to this show, watching this show, I hope
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway is I want her to be my
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: closing attorney. I want her to be the person that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: shows me to my next home in the city of Atlanta,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: all the state of Georgia. Because relationships, you want somebody
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: who sells you your home to go into a room
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: with a closing determinant that they know. That is very
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: key because of the fact that if you're going and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and I have been at the something in Texas and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: bought homes and Texas about homes and Houston, Georgia as well.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And I've been in the room where you know, at
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: persons sit across who's through the title attorney because they
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: have these big companies around it. You walk around it
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: like there's like two or three companies just dominate all
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the title signings, you know, and they just strange the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: like h and R block of titles. Can you shouldn't.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: They don't even know who you are and they're just
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: gonna push the paper around you. I really appreciate the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: relationship that you have and you that you bring it
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: into a family. I call it a family. Do you
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: do you agree with what I'm saying, Tiffany Um, Yes.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of the same here. A lot of
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: people look at this as a process that the business transaction.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I've worked for several um different attorneys where it was
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: it was just the meal, like we get people and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: we get them out. I kind of even though we
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: do the same thing here, I've kind of slowed it
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: down a little bit. I implemented closings where we actually
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: celebrate the buyer and the seller. So we'll have champagne here,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: we will have parties. Sometimes we will have just different
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: celebrations to let the buyer know, like you made it
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this far, this is a celebration. This is not just
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a business transaction. We take um pictures of the buyers
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: when they're here, and we have a key chain where
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: we document their closing and we give that to them
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: as a gift. It's a personal, small gesture, but it
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: lets them know that you're not just another person walking
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in here. We appreciate you, we are excited for you,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and we are going to celebrate you at the Halls
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Law Firm. So yeah, you do have these big title
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: companies where it's just business. Well here it's not just business.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: You become a part of our family and we celebrate
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: your family. And you're closing on your home. Well, you know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I want to close interview, but just switching over to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Tianna Harrison, I said, earlier in your academic career, you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: spend time at Tennessee State University. We all know now
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you graduated from Georgia and Athens bulldog National champion. But
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: also know that the publicity UH and the HBC s
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you are getting HBC schools are getting factor also a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: weekended to HBCU game. And so when you look at that,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: what do your what is your take on the surge
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: of information is being distributed and being promoted by HBCUs.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I think that it is amazing that they're getting this
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: publicity um for HBC USE because I think it's a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: long time coming. Um. I am a My mother attended
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: an h VCU. She attended Tennessee State University. Um, my
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: cousins are I mean down the line. My cousin is
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Wilma Rudolph, who is an Olympian. Um, a famous Olympian
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: who attended Tennessee State University. And so as far as HBCU,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: HBCUs and the attention that they're garnering, I think that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: it's just a long time coming and I am excited
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to see what the future holds because of what has
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: existed within the you know, collegiate realm of athletes that
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: have gone to predominantly white universities. And now there's a
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: switch up. And at a certain point in time there
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: must always be a pivot and a switch up. And
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna see what happens next. That's awesome. Also, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: want to thank both of you guys who are coming

• 30:49
  Speaker 1: of that show. Oh man, I appreciate it, and it's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure, uh talk with one of my
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: personal mentors. Um you so uh so, yeah, So I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I graduated UM from college and I was working at
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a job that I didn't love, and everybody told me that,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I needed to just work someplace where I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: can have a you know, four O one K and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: have my bills paid on time. But I wasn't really
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: following what I was passionate about. So my friend told
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: me that there was an audition happening in New York
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: for b ET, and I took all the money on
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: my savings and I just flew up there and went
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to the audition. But on the first rounds of the auditions,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I was super nervous, uh and I fumbled it. You know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I went in there, I kind of stuttered through the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: script and they handed everybody um papers with either a
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: green check or a red X. And I got a
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: red X on my paper, and you know that means
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't make it to the next round. But the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: guy that was in front of me in line got
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a green check on his paper, And I said to myself, Man,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: if the guy right there can make it to the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: next line, I had to the next part of it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I at least got to try to get over the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: first you know, the first round, and so I drove
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: from New York down to Atlanta and I tried it again,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: but this time I knew what to expect. I knew
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: what they were gonna ask me. Um, and all I
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: was trying to do, I wasn't trying to get on
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the show. I was just like, I just want to
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: make it to the next round, and just going that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: extra step. I made it from that round to the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: next round, to the next round to the next round,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and then eventually, UM, you know, I got the show
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and my life changed. But I always tell people, don't
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: try to build a wall, just try to individually lay
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: down each brick day by day, and um, and you know,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: my life changed from there after I got that that
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that one gig. Well, your life changed also because you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: went to an HBCU. And before we respond to that,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: when I see the explosion of media about HBC he
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: US and you know, you've always bragged about coming from
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: an HBC ever since I've known you. That's that's been
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: at the time, you know, And so now you see
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it coming out and you see the like this recently
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: this weekend, they had uh ANHBCU game during the All
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Star weekend, So what are you talking when you here
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: HBCUs being promoted and being being being finally getting this
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: academic place in the conversation of education. Oh, I love it, man,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you know, better late than never, right. Uh. These institutions,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you know, for over a hundred years, Uh in some
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: cases have been doing amazing work, uh with African Americans
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: in in the community. UM, providing opportunities. You know, I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: didn't get I applied when I was in North Carolina.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I applied to NC State and North Carolina UNC, and
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't get accepted into either school because I wasn't
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: academically where I needed to be. But a t took
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: a chance on me. And because in HBC you took
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that chance on me, you know, it led to all
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the things that came after it in my life and
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in my career. And so I love that, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the national spotlight is finally kind of on HBCUs right now.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I love every time I see somebody like j R.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Smith who started going to a T or you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Chris Paul, you know, wearing HBCU stuff at games. I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: love seeing the explosion that's taking place now. And I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: just hope you know, more and more good students go
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: so that we can get more and more sponsorship and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: funding and endowments and uh, you know, our schools can
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: just continue to thrive. The first you remember a mega
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: sci fi fraternity incorporated. We know what that's based on.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: It for cardinal principles and the one of the one
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: of the basis of this community and one of the
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: basis of this uplift and so thurgand Marshall was about
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: uplifting young students academically and giving them so they won't
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: leave school with college debt. What brought you into that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: relationship with the third of Marshall College from Terrence Ja
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: so Sean. So, when I was a freshman at A
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and T, I, like I said, my school work wasn't
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: where I needed to be. I was so interested in
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you know, other things and party and hanging out that
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I wasn't where I needed to be academically. Um. So,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I was on academic probation and I had a professor
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: who you know, I was gonna get kicked out of school.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: And I had a professor that said, listen, there's something
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: special about you. You know I was. I was already
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: interning at the on campus radio station, and she said,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I need you to focus on your school work. I'm
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna uh set you. I'm gonna write your
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: letter to get this internship, but you gotta promise me
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: to turn your grades around. And so I was a
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: member of the Thurgood Marshall College from I received an
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: actual scholarship that kept me in school. And that next semester,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: um I met some you know, some really interesting people
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and started my grade started changing around. By the time
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I graduated college, I had a three point a g
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: p A. I was student body president and then like
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the Omega side five, you know, the scholarship and changed
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: my life. I had some I got some really smart
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: lawn brothers that really helped, you know me changed my life.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And so the third and Marshall College Fund is what
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: kept me in school. And so I always said, the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: moment I get on, the moment I you know, got
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: got my foot in the door, I wanted to continue
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to get back. And so now it's just it's a
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: privilege to work with Andrea and the whole organization. Um
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: uh and and you know I love giving back and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: and doing programs with them every year. Great when she's
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: on the whole she's been listening to this interview. I'm
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: gonna bring on board so we can just share the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: thoughts together. Here. She's been on the show before, by
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the way, Terence J. And she knows what I my
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: passion for HBCUs and my belief that you don't if
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you can't help people, that they don't know what you're
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: trying to do. And that's the purpose of interview, you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to learn about because people doubt so much because you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: through promotion and hype, it gives incredibility. And so by
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: getting you on the show today, you know hearing your
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: story and it's an incredible story that you're revealing to
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: us because all we know is celebrity Terrence J. All
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: we know is hosting no TV Terrence Jay, executive producer,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Terrence J. Not that journey. That's why I started out
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: and let everybody know how he how he turned it
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: around through Max effort. He got rejected to New York,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: then drove down to Atlanta audition all over again, not
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: knowing he's gonna make it happen. So let's bring in
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Andrew Horton. How are you doing, miss Horton? I good
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: after now, well, great first of all Ms Horton, Uh,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: welcome back. You know you on you on the phone
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: with uh, you know with two Omega man, Uh, Terence
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: J a young Maga man and old old Maka man
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and ray Sean McDonald. How are you doing. I'm doing fantastic. Well,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: your your graduate spellman. Tell us about that the experience
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: of miss Horton coming from the expellment. Already, Terence and
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: already told us he's a graduate of North Carolina. North
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Carolina and t talk about that whole world of being
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: in the HBCU and an importance of just black seeking
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: a higher education and achieving black excellence. Oh. Absolutely, so,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: it's fun, It's ironic. I just returned from Cleveland from
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game, and I'm from the Cleveland area
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: of a small town called Aleria, and I had a
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: chance to go home and visit my high school and
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: just had a really great experience in my hometown. But
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is I went to a
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: predominantly white high school, lived in a predominantly white town,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and I did very well, enjoyed my upbringing. But as
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I advanced academically and um socially, I really wanted to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: learn more about my culture as I I'll continue to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: challenge myself academically. So for me, the only choice was
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Spellman and that's the only institution I applied to early decisions,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: and I was fortunate enough to be accepted, uh and
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: was able to join the ranks of other Spellman women
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: seaking the same thing. Now, now, Terrice, You're you're from
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: New York right? Uh? Yeah? Yeah, I was born in
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: New York. Okay, were you living in New York? Were
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you applied for North Carolina Anti? No? So I moved
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: down to North Carolina when I turned a teenager. When
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I was a teenager, so I was already in states,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: um when I applied for ANTI. Okay, was that your
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: only option that you you like? Like, Miss Horton just
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: said chief you know, let me just let everybody know.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Miss Horton is the chief marketing Officer for the third
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: third Good Marshall College Fund, and she's on the show
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: because the fact we're trying to get the word out
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and we're also just letting everybody with the third Good
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Marshall College Fund is doing. But more important, we try
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to bring on relatable people, people that have recognizable names
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and doing recognizable causes and we need to let everybody
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: know that these causes that they that they represent can
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: benefit your child and actually can benefit you depending on
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: your age. And so when you had the opportunity to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: go to North Carolina Anti, where you looking at other
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: schools like like she said, Spellman, was that what was
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: what was your point of view? We'll see. Ms. Horton
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: is way much more buttoned up than I am. He's
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: a very impressive person when you need very impressive. I
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: was just hanging on by a my mom, my mom
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: who's also you know, very impressive. She wanted me to
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: go to college and I, you know, I didn't and
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: so I applied to a bunch of schools, but you know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't get accepted, and so uh yeah, A and
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: T took a chance on me. And that's why I
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: love HPCU so much because if it wasn't for them,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I never would have had the experience in Sern of
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: my life around well I you know, so I know her.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I met her at the on the campus of who
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: was doing an event, uh HBCU College Day that we
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: were producing and what's the Salem what's the Salem State?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: And that's where I met her and she impressed me
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: so much that we've been friends. You know, she might
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: not consider me a friend, but she my friend. Though
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: she's my friend because because I've drug her on the radio,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: just the second time I drug. She can't say no
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to me because I believe so much and what we're
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: trying to do. Because in the end we all know,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, I was that same guy. You know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't go to HBCU, but I'm very much aware
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: of the brand association with and what they're creating at
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: a Black excellent. I always tell people, you know, fifth
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: percent of the high school teachers are from HBCUs, eight
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: percent of the doctors from HBCUs, eight percent of the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: dentists from HBCU, sent percent of the lawyers, you know, hbcent,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: eight percent members of Congress from HBCUs. Those numbers don't
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: lie of the STEM graduates from HBCUs. Those numbers of
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: my is my mission. Those numbers are my goal because
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the fact that if people don't know that, then they
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: don't think all they think of when the HPC is
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the marching bands, they think of the football, they think
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: of the revelry, when it's really the academics. That's the key.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Here because of the fact that you said that you
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you graduated with honors. That was a turnaround from you
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: because somebody saw something in you. Correct, Terrence JA, Correct, Yeah,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: that's that's it. You know, somebody like Ms Harton honestly
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: who who saw the potential um and and gave me
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the opportunity. And then once you have that opportunity, it's
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: up to you to take it, you know. Now it's
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: at the basis of the core why the third Orld
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Marshall College Fund exists, Miss Horton. So, um, yes it is.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: And we have other other you know, other parts of
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: our mentioned that we strive for as well. But I
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: do want to go back and share something about hbc
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: S in general. It's the magic of HBCUs is that,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: as Terence Jay said, um, HBCUs can take the student
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: who is academically advanced to an average student, to a
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: below average student and really help them find themselves and
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: really come into their own identity. One of the big
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: things that I love about HBCUs is that they take
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: students from all backgrounds and really help them become their
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: best outs. HBCU students are fifty one more likely to
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: end up in higher income quince House upon graduation. So
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: no matter where you start, whether you start from UM
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: an average income family and below average income family or not,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: HBCUs have that holistic education that really help you academically, socially,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: professionally and really position you to be successful after graduation.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And that's the magic of HBCUs. As far as the
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: they're good Marshall College Funds, our goal is really one
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: to support the institutions HPCU institutions and make sure that
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: they are sustainable because they are important, UM highly important
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: to our community and all those who have a dream
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of attending college. And then secondly we want to support
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the students and scholarships is a huge way that we
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: support students to ensure that they can complete their college
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: degree with minimal student on debt. We'll be right back
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashan McDonald. Now
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashan McDonald,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: talk about scholarship opportunities. Where can we go as a
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: number we can call or when I said, we am
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: talking about myself so I can have access to it,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: to put it on my social media, to put it
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: on my email, on my newsletters and things like that
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: to promote the opportunit because the worst thing in the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: world is to go to college and walk away with debt,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: and this is a scholarship will allow you that opportunity
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: to do that. So help me out a little bit
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: by giving me information on how these scholarship opportunities can
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: be reached. Sure, you can go to our website www
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: dot t MCF dot org and you click on students
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: slash alum nine and then click on scholarship and then
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that scholarship portal um your listeners can really see all
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: of the scholarship opportunities that we have available. Over the
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: last twelve months, we more than double the amount of
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: scholarship programs that we have available for students attending HBCUs
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and we even have a few scholarships for students who
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: decide to attend other institutions, but the money follows them
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: where they decided to go. Now I'm going Terence, I
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: want to just ask you one question as we as
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: we close out this interview, what what what makes you feel?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: What's the passion? You know? Because you mentioned the fact
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: that you are a recipient of a third Good Marshall
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: College funds scholarship, So what what what what? What? What?
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: What drives that? And what what encouragement do you give
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: somebody who's listening to a parent or maybe even a student. UH.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: And the benefits of this type of scholarship outside of
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: just paying for your classes allowing you to graduate from
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: school debt free, well, you know, tim's hard. You know,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: the the economy is in a very difficult place, you know, UM,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: and every bit helps, and when you have programs, you know,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: set up to assist, it's important to take advantage of them.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You know, these student tuitions are really high, these books,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: these programs, they're really expensive, and so you know, to
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: alleviate some of that stress, there's incredible organizations like the
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Third Good Marshall College Fund that that can can help
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and assist. And they don't just have programs that are
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: just for you know, your your school work. They also
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: have internship programs, job placement programs. You know, we do
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: mentors ship programs. I had an intern come from it
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: came to l A and and and you know, spent
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the whole summer with me. You know, because there's a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: bunch of different UH programs. If you go to the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Third and Marshall UH College from website the TMCF dot org.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: So I just for me, I made a promise to
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: myself back then, UH that I would always I would
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: never forget where I came from, and I would never
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: forget those that helped me. And this organization has been
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: a pleasure for me because they always find incredible students
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: and they always you know, I know all I know
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: when I do donate, all of the money goes to
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the right place. And I think for all of the
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: parents out there, you know, if your students are are
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: about to go to high school, I mean, are just
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: graduating high school and about to go to college, you
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: should strongly, you know, consider and make sure that TMCF
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: dot org is on the top of your browser because
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: they have so many different programs of that that you
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: should take advantage of. I want to share a story
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: before we go with if you can share it with us,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Miss Horton. We was in Western Salem State campus and
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: were doing my HBCU College Day event. He was talking
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: about the applications where you guys really take the time
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: to read the applications and so this is not one
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: application you should be doing a cookie cutter or just
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: grab something you put in another application and put over there.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Talk about the screening process for these applications. Sure, that's
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: an important piece. And then the first thing I want
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: to really stress for your listeners is that our scholarships,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: and many of them when you go on our website
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: will say our need based, so need based scholarships, but
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: me doesn't mean you have to be in a certain
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: income bracket. So although I was academically prepared for college,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I was not financially prepared for college. So I need
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: a financial support. And even though my parents had a
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: pretty good income, there was still a significant amount of
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: my cost of attendance that was not covered by scholarships
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: or any grant funding. So that means a large portion
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: of my my college educations had to be self paid
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: or paid by loans. If you're like me, you qualify
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: for our scholarships. You have a need. Even if your
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: parents make you know, three hundred thousand dollars and you
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: are self pay you still qualify as having need for scholarships.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: So once we've established that and you go to our
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: portal to apply, please know that every application is read
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and scored on a rubric, so that means everybody has
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: a chance, not about who you know, who you're connected to,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: is about the quality of your application. You have too.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Many of our applications now either require an essay, but
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: most of them require a video response to an essay question,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: so you're really verbally responding to a question. Are applications
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: will ask you for a letter of recommendation and then
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: we'll give you a score on your academic So whatever
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: what your g p A is, once we sort of
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: score all those components, the highest scores receive the scholarship.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: So again, everybody has an opportunity. And I can't tell
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: you how many students have come up to me and said,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I started not to apply to the scholarship, but I
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: decided to take a chance and I got it. And
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: you can if you take the time to really apply
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and think about the answers to your questions UH and
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: put your best foot forward. You really can't receive a
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: scholarship through the third Good Marshall College Funds. Terence J.

  Speaker 1: Thank you both for coming on Money Making Conversation master Class.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Love you both. Thank you terms j Wow, you know
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: you you do this show money Making Conversation Masterclass. And
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I'm just taking aback by what's happening on this show. People,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: the people calling in with Dwayne Sullivan. Wow, what a story.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: What a story about overcoming the odds, uh, overcoming the
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: prison system, overcoming and getting the education and then um
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: when they when they didn't hire even with the education,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: that didn't qualify getting the bachelor bachelor's degree, that didn't
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: help him out, and then he could go online and
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: take a course and then he goes to a just
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: based on just watching observation, what you what you've learned
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: on this show is that it's not where people expect
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: you to go, it's where you wind up going. And
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: if you're hit in the direction, what rules are you
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: putting in place for you to win? That's what I'm
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: taking from these interviews. Then I'm getting on the show,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: especially in that bragging segment, and and then to hear
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: about Terrence j. And his journey, you know, academic suspension
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: and the third grade Marshall College Fund and somebody seeing
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: something in him and telling him that he can be better,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: he can do better, he can be special. That happened
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: to me, you know, somebody saw that in me because
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to go to college. I didn't want to.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I want to. I graduated from high school and got
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: a job as a forklift driver because I thought that's
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: what I that's all I saw myself was being a
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: forklift driver. That was my that was my that was
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: my peak of who I thought I could be because
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: the people around me who I admired, they were forklift drivers.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: So it's really about the environment. And despite Dwayne Sullivan
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: being in an environment that was negative to him and
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: he was being stereotyped, he would not allow that to
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: happen to him, and then he developed this business all
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: fixed up. And it's just about the business about and
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I asked to people the call in and tell them
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: about the tell that story when you when you hear
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: the story, then you you admire the accomplishment. If you're
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: mind accomplishment, then you want to support the cause and
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the causes that you can do anything you want if
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: you believe in it and you have a network of
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: people around you, in this case was his wife who
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: believed in him and supporting him. And then to go
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: to a location not in a prominent side of the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: hound where you know they can afford a cell phone repairs.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Not in the side of town where they breaking phones
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: left and right. He went as he said, the hood,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: which we know is a less privileged community. We know
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: about the neighbors. I grew up with what I would characterized.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I was born in the hood Fifth War, so I
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: know exactly what he is talking about. An undesirable side
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: of town with low tax dollars. Education for blacks or
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: minorities are less privileged. And when you in your stereotyped.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: He brought in a business and he says it's been
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: in seven years, But that's that's not how it started
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: out for Mr Duyane Sullivan. He went into a space
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: that they told him four previous businesses did not last
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: more than six months. In fact, they told him that
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: location that he was renting out was cursed. Seven years later,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I think he's broken the curse. You know why he's
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: broken the curse because he persevered. He had a network
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: of people around him. They believed in him. But that's
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: not that's just one story. Charlie Shabaz, when she came
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: on the show, talked about her but bakery business, and
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I asked her, are you a baker? She said, Uh,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: does rolling on cookie dough and cutting it up? Does
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: that count as a baker? Which means that she's about
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: to open her second location because she's done our homework,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: not because somebody said this is what she's supposed to do.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: She made the decision. In fact, her background is accounting.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: In fact, she mentored or I guess the intern was
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: a c PA to learn business accounting. She gave up
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: for free time. And she's not even from this area.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: She's from the Philadelphia area I remember correctly, and moved
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: down here to make a living. And now she's about
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: to open the second location. Not because she's an award
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: winning baker. Because I can I tell people I'm award
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: within the baker. I canna assure you I'm not opening
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: up a restaurant or bakery. I'm just posting pictures on
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: my social media. She put together a business plan, She
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: went to a location that she felt the business could exist,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: could win at. She went over there, talk to the person,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: then convinced them that she was the right person, even
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: though she didn't have a background as a baker, and
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: they came back and tour and said, okay, we're ready
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: for you. Then she had the race and find a location,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: find a franchise that would fit for her. Now she's
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: about to open us like a location. And then my
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: other third story, I just want to bring back that
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: we just heard recently on Moneymaking Conversation master Class and
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: that bragging segment. That's a segment where I asked people
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: to tell us their story. I asked people to tell
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: us their background about why this is working for them.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Why should people be motivated to to to go outside
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: the world, walk through walk through that fear to stop
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: so many people and that fear I'm talking about the
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: fear of the unknown. It's Thomas Barnes. You know Apple
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: and UH and UH cell phone iPhone repair store. I
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: asked him, I said, uh. I told him my front
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to look, I'm not an Apple and he said, of
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: his business is Apple and iPhone repairs, iPhone repair. And
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: I told him my front, I said, brother, I am
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: a PC guy and I'm an Android guy. And he
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: went me to which means that he did the research
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: in this business, not because it was something he saw
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: a business opportunity, but he did the research and he
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: bought the location, a franchise location that the top employee
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: is still working there and he did the research on
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: the traffic, He did the work research on the foot traffic,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: the car traffic, he did all these things. This is
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Thomas Barnes talk about his business. And I mentioned just
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: these three names because these three names are recent to
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: the show that lets me get excited about it that
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I can't I can't forget. Also, Mrs Joey Johnson, the
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: owner of in the Craft Room, you know, just sold
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: her first TV show to a I. B. Plato, you know,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: using playto as a craft turning into the TV show
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: selling it. Now she's learned, I'm not selling my shows anymore.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not selling my content. I'm a license my content.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna bring our back. This is all I'm
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: talking about when I talk about money making Conversation Masterclass,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: I just want you to build a plan. Build your plan,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: and when you build that plan, I want you to
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: write down your goals because you gotta be able to
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: say what you're gonna do. And when you write down
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: your goals, that starts. If your person who who doesn't
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: have relationship, you have to create relationship. If your person
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: who's a poor communicator will bring somebody in the world
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: that knows how to communicate. If you're the person who
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: who doesn't get up at a consistent time, you gotta
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: start getting up at a consistent time. If you're the
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: person that doesn't know how to balance the book, hire
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: somebody who knows how to balance their books. And then
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: when you're doing this, you have to learn how to
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: measure your progress. I want to thank you for listening

• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: learn the lessons from things that don't turn out the
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: way you expect. That's really the way you gotta be
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: because you know, if if you don't believe that you
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: can do and then certainly no one else is going
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: to and no one is ever going to give you
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: the opportunity. What do you really what do you really
• 1:00:27

  Speaker 1: gonna walk away with some lessons that you wouldn't have
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: had before. And you take those lessons and you move
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: on to the next thing. You know, you look at
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: everyone around you that is uh, extremely successful, and you
