1:12
Speaker 4: is interesting as well as far as your journey into entrepreneurship,
1:17
Speaker 4: because you were actually saying I actually listen to your
1:20
Speaker 4: podcast and you were you were outlining how you didn't
1:23
Speaker 4: start as an entrepreneur like you actually started. You were
1:25
Speaker 4: working for the company right for four years and you
1:31
Speaker 4: had to grow into that role of being an entrepreneur
1:34
Speaker 4: and a business person and you learned.
1:37
Speaker 3: But before we even start, how did you guys meet?
1:39
Speaker 4: I don't think I got that part of this story
1:41
Speaker 4: because I think you said that you were in the basement.
1:44
Speaker 3: Was that correct?
1:46
Speaker 4: No?
1:46
Speaker 2: No, no, So I'm gonna tell you, Oh no, yeah,
1:51
Speaker 2: jumping jumping text the masko was in the basement, not
1:56
Speaker 2: mean yeah. So, So, just to go quickly quickly into
2:02
Speaker 2: how we met, basically, we started out in college, right
2:05
Speaker 2: and community college in Philadelphia, and basically I was going
2:09
Speaker 2: to school for finance. I can't remember what Dana was
2:11
Speaker 2: going to school for. But we ended up meeting, but
2:14
Speaker 2: not really going into the relationship wise. We were just friends.
2:17
Speaker 2: Then we both ended up dropping out of school. She
2:19
Speaker 2: moved to New York with her dad. I dropped out
2:21
Speaker 2: and I started immediately working and banking, and it just
2:24
Speaker 2: so happened that I want to say about two years
2:27
Speaker 2: in to being in school, I was I'm gonna say
2:30
Speaker 2: I was about twenty years old at the time. I
2:32
Speaker 2: saw her videos all over the internet. Plus I was
2:35
Speaker 2: building my brand at the same time as well. At
2:37
Speaker 2: the time, I was talking about relationships, which that's a
2:40
Speaker 2: whole other conversation, right, and because I talk against that
2:44
Speaker 2: all the time now, but I remember seeing her videos
2:47
Speaker 2: everywhere and I slid in her DM and I'm like, hey,
2:50
Speaker 2: what's up. I remember you from community college in Philadelphia, Like,
2:53
Speaker 2: what's up? You're doing some great things. I would love
2:55
Speaker 2: to give mentored by you because I see what you're
2:58
Speaker 2: doing in business. I really didn't want to get mentor
3:00
Speaker 2: and I was like you, but you know what, I'm like,
3:04
Speaker 2: I want to give mentor whatever. But she never responded
3:06
Speaker 2: back to me. And I remember I was sitting in
3:08
Speaker 2: side of my apartment. No I wasn't seeing at all. No, actually,
3:11
Speaker 2: scene wasn't even that wasn't an Instagram Yeah, but that
3:15
Speaker 2: wasn't on Instagram at the time either, that whole scene thing.
3:18
Speaker 2: So I remember it was like months and I never
3:20
Speaker 2: heard from her, and I was sitting down in my
3:22
Speaker 2: apartment with my homie at the time, and I said, Yo,
3:25
Speaker 2: I know Danish Chanel. She's going to text me. I'm
3:27
Speaker 2: telling you, like, I'm that guy. She's gonna text me.
3:29
Speaker 2: So he's like, nah, you're not get her, bro. I'm like, okay.
3:32
Speaker 2: I remember the one day I was ironing my clothes
3:35
Speaker 2: for work and I'm I'm ironing my slacks at the
3:38
Speaker 2: time and a six four six number pop up. And
3:40
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody from New York. So I'm like, yo,
3:42
Speaker 2: what's going on? And I called my homie in the
3:45
Speaker 2: room and I'm like, yo, this six four six number
3:47
Speaker 2: is from New York. I know who this is. This
3:48
Speaker 2: is Dane, I'm telling you. He was like, you're lying.
3:50
Speaker 2: I'm like, I promise you wait till I open it.
3:52
Speaker 2: How much you want bet ten dollars? He's like all right.
3:54
Speaker 2: I opened it up. I said, who's this? She said
3:57
Speaker 2: it's Danish Chanew. I looked at him and start laughing.
4:00
Speaker 2: Ever since then, we've been together since, and I remember
4:02
Speaker 2: the first time, just to kind of go into business, right,
4:04
Speaker 2: I remember the first time she pulls up to my
4:07
Speaker 2: apartment because we were going to dinner, but she was
4:09
Speaker 2: coming from New York, so she had to drive down
4:12
Speaker 2: and she pulls up to the front of my apartment.
4:14
Speaker 2: In mind you, I'm living in Philadelphia and not really
4:16
Speaker 2: in the nicest area. And her car is wrapped with
4:19
Speaker 2: her face on it, and it says it says ass
4:22
Speaker 2: scene on TV and bright red. No a vehicle like
4:26
Speaker 2: a wrap car? Yeah? What was it? A h it was? Yeah,
4:30
Speaker 2: it was a truck Ford doors as seen on TV
4:32
Speaker 2: with her face on there, right. And then there's a
4:34
Speaker 2: driver in the front seat. She's in the back seat.
4:37
Speaker 2: So I get I've run out of my apartment and
4:40
Speaker 2: straight to her car, and I tell the driver, you'll
4:41
Speaker 2: pull off right now. I'm like, well, off right now,
4:43
Speaker 2: because I'm not trying to get ribbed or anybody think
4:45
Speaker 2: I got it. I got some money or something. So
4:48
Speaker 2: I asked her when we were in a car, and
4:50
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, I don't really want to, you know,
4:53
Speaker 2: I want to announce the elephant in the room. Why
4:56
Speaker 2: is your car wrapped? And this was the first rule
4:58
Speaker 2: of business that she taught me, is that I would
5:01
Speaker 2: much rather promote my own business before a business that
5:03
Speaker 2: doesn't pay me. And from there that blew my mind,
5:07
Speaker 2: and ever since then we've been in separable since we
5:10
Speaker 2: got married two years ago. And yeah, that's my that's
5:13
Speaker 2: my dog.
5:14
Speaker 4: So all right, so you got jumping jack, So all right,
5:16
Speaker 4: jumping jack tax joint is it joint owned or correct?
5:21
Speaker 2: Correct? Jumping jack taxes joint owned between me, my wife,
5:24
Speaker 2: and my father in law.
5:25
Speaker 5: So before you were working at the bank, right, Well,
5:28
Speaker 5: that's correct that you decided to quit.
5:30
Speaker 2: Correct, it was like we're off and running with this
5:31
Speaker 2: thing now, correct. So uh, just to kind of no,
5:36
Speaker 2: so so just to kind of just to kind of
5:37
Speaker 2: give a backstory, just kind of give a backstory of
5:39
Speaker 2: how this happened. Right as soon as I dropped out
5:43
Speaker 2: of community college, I started working in banking. I actually
5:46
Speaker 2: working at TD Bank. I worked up the ladder, I
5:49
Speaker 2: was a bank teller, and then I moved over into insurance.
5:51
Speaker 2: So I actually got my insurance license in the state
5:54
Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania and New Jersey life insurance casualty. Uh, and
5:58
Speaker 2: then in health correct. Yeah, And I was selling a
6:01
Speaker 2: ton of annuities. I probably sold about, I want to say,
6:03
Speaker 2: about ten million dollars worth of annuities for the bank.
6:07
Speaker 2: And funny, I never received one single commission from that.
6:10
Speaker 3: I was just about to say, that's a lot of commission.
6:12
Speaker 2: I never brother. I never received one commission for that,
6:15
Speaker 2: and I was just getting paid a salary of fifteen
6:19
Speaker 2: dollars an hour until I started to wake up and realize, like, damn,
6:22
Speaker 2: my skills really mean so much, but I only got
6:25
Speaker 2: ten bucks in my account right. And then I moved
6:27
Speaker 2: over into Wells Fargo because I thought that obviously it
6:31
Speaker 2: would be better to just get paid more by another
6:33
Speaker 2: company as opposed to doing my own. So I wasn't
6:36
Speaker 2: thinking the right way. And when I moved over to
6:37
Speaker 2: Wells Fargo, that's when I continued to sell annuities for them,
6:41
Speaker 2: and I met my wife, and then she just came
6:43
Speaker 2: to me one day and was like, yo, I want
6:44
Speaker 2: you to leave your job come work for the family business.
6:46
Speaker 2: And I said, you know what, I've had enough. The
6:48
Speaker 2: very next day, I ended up leaving the bank after
6:51
Speaker 2: four or five years, and from there I started actually
6:55
Speaker 2: working for the family business. I was serving my wife.
6:58
Speaker 2: And this is something that a lot of minus understand
7:00
Speaker 2: as well. A lot of men put their pride in
7:02
Speaker 2: the way of actually learning from whomever. And I said
7:05
Speaker 2: this before, is that it's interesting how men have no
7:10
Speaker 2: issues with learning from their supervisor who's a woman, or
7:13
Speaker 2: their manager who's a woman. But yet the very woman
7:16
Speaker 2: that God sent into their life, which could be their girl,
7:19
Speaker 2: their wife, or whomever, they immediately believe that they're supposed
7:22
Speaker 2: to look down upon her, appreciate that. And for me
7:26
Speaker 2: and for me, I'm like me, I don't block my blessings.
7:29
Speaker 2: I learned from whomever is in my space. And my wife,
7:31
Speaker 2: as y'all seen in part one, she is a firecracker
7:34
Speaker 2: and I respected that so much. And I'm a dummy
7:37
Speaker 2: when it comes to learning. So any room that I
7:40
Speaker 2: go into, I'm going to sit and I'm going to
7:42
Speaker 2: ask questions to learn from whomever. And whenever I get
7:44
Speaker 2: an opportunity to where I get to sit in a
7:46
Speaker 2: room full of millionaires or people that are going to
7:48
Speaker 2: change my life, I'm jumping on the opportunity immediately. So
7:51
Speaker 2: five years of working at the bank, I threw it
7:53
Speaker 2: all the way and I said, this next day, I'm
7:55
Speaker 2: leaving and I'm working with the family business. And I
7:57
Speaker 2: was serving my wife for about I want to say,
7:59
Speaker 2: three years before I started became the CEO of Jumping
8:02
Speaker 2: Jack Tacks and it is where it is now.
8:03
Speaker 6: So what was the relationship with your father in law? Right?
8:07
Speaker 6: Was he welcome in like all right? Or was this
8:08
Speaker 6: some hard times before he became part of it?
8:11
Speaker 3: Yo?
8:11
Speaker 2: Funny enough, Yo, I'm gonna tell you a crazy story
8:13
Speaker 2: about this. I'm gonna tell you crazy story about this
8:16
Speaker 2: when when I first yet, I'm gonna tell you he's licensed.
8:21
Speaker 2: So I just I just start there. I remember the
8:23
Speaker 2: first time I went to his house. I walks in
8:27
Speaker 2: and there's nobody in there but me and Dana. But
8:30
Speaker 2: she said he was going to be there. So I'm
8:32
Speaker 2: looking around for this guy, because of course you want
8:34
Speaker 2: to shake the man's hand whose house it is. I'm
8:36
Speaker 2: all about respect. He's nowhere to be found. So I
8:39
Speaker 2: sit down on the couch. We sitting down and watching TV.
8:41
Speaker 2: Next thing you know, somebody's behind me like freeze. I'm
8:45
Speaker 2: like what, So I put my hands up. But I
8:49
Speaker 2: got robbed twice before, so I wasn't nervous. But I'm like, WHOA,
8:53
Speaker 2: she's setting me up right now, Like this girl that
8:55
Speaker 2: I thought was a Christian online, this was all fake.
8:59
Speaker 2: This was all fake. So he's like freeze. He like freeze.
9:02
Speaker 2: I turned around and he like, YO, give me everything.
9:05
Speaker 2: In your pockets. I'm like, yo, bro, listen, I don't
9:07
Speaker 2: even I don't even know what I got into. And
9:10
Speaker 2: then he was like, nah, I'm just playing with you.
9:12
Speaker 2: And then everybody started laughing. You know, I was my
9:14
Speaker 2: heart was pounding. But from there, man, I got to
9:17
Speaker 2: tell you, my father in law has been the best
9:20
Speaker 2: mentor that I've ever had in teaching me not just
9:23
Speaker 2: from a business standpoint, but also how to be a
9:27
Speaker 2: man and how to treat my wife the right way
9:28
Speaker 2: to very the very man that's that's the father of
9:31
Speaker 2: my wife taught me how to love her effectively so
9:35
Speaker 2: that our relationship could be great, so much so that
9:37
Speaker 2: he said, Yo, don as a as a man, you're
9:40
Speaker 2: meant to be the leader of your household, right so
9:43
Speaker 2: I'm going to make sure that I teach you how
9:45
Speaker 2: to go out and hunt and put you in a
9:47
Speaker 2: position to make sure you can take care of your
9:49
Speaker 2: wife and family for the rest of your life. And
9:51
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that was I respect him so much
9:54
Speaker 2: because that was something that my dad didn't even do
9:57
Speaker 2: for me, and me and him don't really have a
10:01
Speaker 2: relationship right now. He was in and out of in
10:03
Speaker 2: and out of my house and I had to take
10:05
Speaker 2: care of my mom and my grandmother, you know. So,
10:08
Speaker 2: and by the way, my mom and grandmother's now retired.
10:10
Speaker 2: They worked for us. But and that was that was
10:13
Speaker 2: the least that I could do in return for something
10:14
Speaker 2: that you know, my father couldn't do. But my father
10:16
Speaker 2: in law stepped up and taught me all the qualities
10:18
Speaker 2: of what was necessary to be a man. And from
10:21
Speaker 2: there that's how I got where I'm at now.
10:23
Speaker 3: I saw when you said that you had to pay at.
10:26
Speaker 2: First, absolutely absolutely, how did that work? So I remember
10:32
Speaker 2: the first phone conversation I had with him, and we
10:35
Speaker 2: were on the phone and I was asking him for help,
10:38
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, I want you to mentor me
10:39
Speaker 2: because at the time I hadn't. I hadn't I had
10:42
Speaker 2: an e commerce business, which I'm going to get into
10:44
Speaker 2: that too. I had an e commerce business and I
10:46
Speaker 2: was trying to grow. It was a jewelry business. I
10:48
Speaker 2: was selling inspirational jewelry and Dana had vouched for me
10:53
Speaker 2: at the time and said, hey, he's a good dude.
10:54
Speaker 2: Get on the phone with him. The day I got
10:56
Speaker 2: on the phone with him, he said, hey, listen, man,
10:58
Speaker 2: I'm not really for the riff raff and nothing like
10:59
Speaker 2: that or having incomplete conversations. Because I'm gonna tell you
11:03
Speaker 2: especially one thing I learned in business. A lot of
11:05
Speaker 2: people will play around with you but never get to
11:07
Speaker 2: the point of talking about the deposit, right, and they
11:10
Speaker 2: waste a lot of time. And that's not something I
11:12
Speaker 2: like to do anymore. So I respected him for that.
11:14
Speaker 2: He got straight to the punch and say, yo, listen,
11:18
Speaker 2: I need money and it's going to cost ten thousand
11:21
Speaker 2: dollars in order for me to mentor you and help
11:24
Speaker 2: turn your business to the next level. And like Dana said,
11:26
Speaker 2: which is so important is success has history. You feel
11:31
Speaker 2: me like a lot of times we'll get around a
11:33
Speaker 2: millionaire or somebody who has achieved the extraordinary and then
11:37
Speaker 2: we start doubting the very qualities that made you attracted
11:41
Speaker 2: to that individual just because a price point came. And
11:44
Speaker 2: for me, I had to realize, damn, look what he's
11:46
Speaker 2: differ for his daughter, Look what he's differ for his
11:48
Speaker 2: own business as the children's entertainment company. And I said, man,
11:52
Speaker 2: I gotta do what I gotta do. So at the time,
11:54
Speaker 2: I ended up pulling money from like I think I
11:57
Speaker 2: had a retirement account of the town with Wells Fargo.
11:59
Speaker 2: I ended up the money from that and I gave
12:01
Speaker 2: him the deposit, which was the first investment that I
12:03
Speaker 2: ever made a larger investment for him to be able
12:06
Speaker 2: to help me. And then it just excelled from that
12:08
Speaker 2: point on. But just to kind of go into like
12:11
Speaker 2: the e commerce business, right and.
12:13
Speaker 7: You the very and sorry to jump in, honey, but
12:19
Speaker 7: the very money that he gave my father, we gave
12:23
Speaker 7: it back to him to put towards.
12:26
Speaker 5: Jumping drag text was it was it a situation where
12:30
Speaker 5: he just wanted to see if he was serious.
12:31
Speaker 2: About absolutely absolutely he had he had to pull my card.
12:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, he wanted to see if a lot of the
12:36
Speaker 7: time what happens is we constantly want to take from something,
12:39
Speaker 7: but are we willing to give?
12:42
Speaker 2: And he had to pull my card to see if
12:43
Speaker 2: I was truly serious about entrepreneurship because a lot of
12:47
Speaker 2: people got so much talk man. But but like like
12:49
Speaker 2: Holg said, everybody's bosses to its time to it's time
12:52
Speaker 2: to pay that that that office you know, and and
12:55
Speaker 2: that and everybody goes missing, you know. So and just
12:58
Speaker 2: to kind of go into more that e commerce and
13:00
Speaker 2: I talk about this all the time. And I want
13:02
Speaker 2: everybody that's listening to this to understand, is that just
13:05
Speaker 2: a backtrack. I had a license in insurance and I
13:10
Speaker 2: sold over ten million dollars in annuities. How in the
13:13
Speaker 2: world did I go from selling insurance to selling inspirational jewelry.
13:18
Speaker 2: The worst mistake I've ever made in entrepreneurship was chasing
13:23
Speaker 2: my passion over my skill. Wow. And there are so
13:27
Speaker 2: many entrepreneurs right people that are working at jobs that
13:30
Speaker 2: are entrepreneurs, but they feel as though that the very
13:33
Speaker 2: thing that's going to make them successful or rich is
13:37
Speaker 2: that passion that's deep inside of them.
13:38
Speaker 7: All.
13:38
Speaker 2: I'm going to be a rapper, or I'm going to
13:40
Speaker 2: make it to the NFL or the NBA, not realizing
13:42
Speaker 2: that you have a less than one percent chance. But
13:45
Speaker 2: your job that you're working at, they are teaching you
13:49
Speaker 2: the vary skills, the processes and procedures necessary for you
13:53
Speaker 2: to take that skill from your job to just start
13:55
Speaker 2: the actual business in that because you already know it.
13:57
Speaker 2: You've been there for five years, you've been there for
13:59
Speaker 2: eight years. Put in the sweat equity, you know. So
14:02
Speaker 2: I left the bank of my of in insurance to
14:05
Speaker 2: start selling inspirational jelry, and guess what happened. You probably
14:09
Speaker 2: know because you're a financial advisor.
14:11
Speaker 3: What happened with your jew business?
14:12
Speaker 2: Know what happened with the licenses?
14:15
Speaker 3: They lapsed?
14:16
Speaker 2: My licenses lapsed. I went into the inspirational jewelry business,
14:19
Speaker 2: which lasted for about two years. And I promise you
14:23
Speaker 2: I probably would have made a million dollars two three
14:26
Speaker 2: years ago with the very skills that I already had
14:29
Speaker 2: selling ten million for the bank. But I was so
14:32
Speaker 2: caught up in this passion game, and then I had
14:34
Speaker 2: to bring it back towards the skill. And it's just
14:37
Speaker 2: so funny that after two years of being in the
14:40
Speaker 2: jewelry business and making all of those mistakes, it brought
14:43
Speaker 2: me right back over to the very business that I
14:45
Speaker 2: already knew, which was finances. Went into the tax industry,
14:49
Speaker 2: and then within six months jumping Jack tax made a
14:52
Speaker 2: million dollars. It's not by coincidence. It was because I
14:56
Speaker 2: went back into the skill that I already knew. And
14:59
Speaker 2: a lot of people here that are listening to this
15:01
Speaker 2: podcast or whomever, they have skills, but they're throwing them
15:05
Speaker 2: away for a fictitious dream. And I'm not telling people
15:09
Speaker 2: to get rid of their passion. All that I'm telling
15:11
Speaker 2: you to do is utilize your skill for five years. Right,
15:15
Speaker 2: because you got five years you are you already did
15:18
Speaker 2: that with a dead end relationship or your job or
15:20
Speaker 2: at college, whatever that may be. Use that same five
15:22
Speaker 2: years with your skill and allow that skill to invest
15:24
Speaker 2: in your passion.
15:25
Speaker 3: That's good.
15:26
Speaker 4: That's like Charlemagne his book, he says your dreams and
15:30
Speaker 4: what he means by it's like just what you said,
15:32
Speaker 4: like your dream might be to be a rapper.
15:34
Speaker 3: People's actually gonna make you as a rapper.
15:37
Speaker 2: You know, you're playing with odds.
15:40
Speaker 7: More people need their taxes done than they'll ever buy
15:43
Speaker 7: your out.
15:43
Speaker 2: And that's a fact.
15:44
Speaker 3: No, that's a fact for sure.
15:46
Speaker 4: So all right, jumping jack tax Right, so you have
15:48
Speaker 4: three hundred locations?
15:49
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
15:50
Speaker 2: Four hundred? Now franchise, Well, it's a difference between franchise
15:55
Speaker 2: and licensing, but we can get into that. I don't
15:57
Speaker 2: like to use the word franchising for legal purposes.
15:59
Speaker 4: So right, so you license it, correct, Okay, okay, what
16:03
Speaker 4: are the difference?
16:04
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the difference. So with franchising, of course
16:08
Speaker 2: you have you got the fair Trade. You got the
16:10
Speaker 2: Fair Trade Commission, the Franchise Association where you gotta you
16:13
Speaker 2: gotta be registered with those with those folks in order
16:16
Speaker 2: to be Yeah, it's a whole process to be a franchise.
16:18
Speaker 2: Not something that I was interested in doing. What I
16:21
Speaker 2: was more intrigued by was licensing.
16:23
Speaker 6: Right.
16:24
Speaker 2: Now, here's the thing, and this is one of the
16:26
Speaker 2: biggest things my father in law taught me, is that
16:28
Speaker 2: you don't want to be the best store in the mall,
16:30
Speaker 2: but instead you want to be the mall where all
16:32
Speaker 2: the best stores want to be in. Right, people get that.
16:35
Speaker 2: People get that concept confused. You want to be popular.
16:39
Speaker 2: Right I could have. I could have went and became
16:41
Speaker 2: the best tax office. But what happens now when my
16:45
Speaker 2: wave is gone? What happens now where somebody just don't
16:48
Speaker 2: like Princeville I know anymore? And they released some information
16:51
Speaker 2: that goes all over the internet. Now nobody comes to
16:54
Speaker 2: my tax office anymore. I gotta shut down the doors.
16:57
Speaker 2: The same way with people who have stores that are
16:59
Speaker 2: inside of the mall. How many times have you seen
17:01
Speaker 2: stores inside of the mall shut down every single day
17:04
Speaker 2: all the time, But how often have you seen the
17:07
Speaker 2: mall shut down slim to none now. Of course, for
17:12
Speaker 2: those who want to be technical, they say, well, Amazon
17:15
Speaker 2: shutting down the mass. Amazon is just another form of
17:17
Speaker 2: a mall, just in just in this digital form. It's
17:20
Speaker 2: just another form. Macy's is another form of the mall,
17:22
Speaker 2: just digital now because they sell other people's products in there.
17:25
Speaker 2: You have to become the mall. So for me, when
17:27
Speaker 2: going into Jumping Jack Techs, the first thing that I
17:29
Speaker 2: did was, listen, we got to license this thing out
17:31
Speaker 2: because in order for me to be wealthy, I have
17:33
Speaker 2: to make other people rich, right, So, and just to
17:37
Speaker 2: kind of go into just to kind of go into
17:39
Speaker 2: this whole licensing thing, and I started doing my research.
17:42
Speaker 2: I'm a very analytical person, of course, because of numbers
17:45
Speaker 2: and finances and everything, right, And I did my research
17:49
Speaker 2: and found out that the number one licenser in the
17:52
Speaker 2: world right now is Walt Disney. Walt Disney made fifty
17:55
Speaker 2: billion dollars just in license the merchandise last year, not
18:00
Speaker 2: even not even not flying out today today to their
18:03
Speaker 2: amusement park, just in merchandise. Fifty billion, nothing, just fifty
18:08
Speaker 2: billion in merchandises, right, and they're the largest in the world.
18:11
Speaker 2: Let's just even go on to another's Let's go into
18:13
Speaker 2: another example of licensing. How a lot of people like
18:16
Speaker 2: overlooked this so much. We all know George Lucas with
18:19
Speaker 2: Star Wars, right, I didn't know who that now. What's
18:23
Speaker 2: funny is when George Lucas first started Star Wars, he
18:25
Speaker 2: was trying to shop it around to so many different
18:29
Speaker 2: production companies, and all of them said no because they
18:32
Speaker 2: thought Star Wars was gonna be a bust. And next
18:34
Speaker 2: thing you know, twentieth century Fox came around and said, hey,
18:37
Speaker 2: we'll take on the movie. Now here's why it's important,
18:40
Speaker 2: of why you need to take advantage of your name,
18:42
Speaker 2: and why you need to spread this and keep the
18:45
Speaker 2: rights to your name and license this thing out. When
18:47
Speaker 2: he booked a deal with twentieth Century Fox, the first
18:51
Speaker 2: thing that he negotiated was he wanted all the rights
18:53
Speaker 2: to his merchandising and to his name, to the IP.
18:56
Speaker 2: He wanted to keep it, and twentieth century Fox said,
18:59
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't care you could take it
19:01
Speaker 2: because I think Star Wars is gonna be a bust anyway,
19:03
Speaker 2: but we believe in you, so instead we're just going
19:06
Speaker 2: to cancel out your director's raises where if they do
19:09
Speaker 2: any sequels, he won't get it. He won't get any
19:11
Speaker 2: raisers or anything like that. So they made a bad
19:15
Speaker 2: move because Star Wars became a hit. And now since
19:18
Speaker 2: he owned the IP the licensing rights to that, when
19:21
Speaker 2: he sold it to Walt Disney, he sold that IP
19:23
Speaker 2: for four billion dollars. So what ended up happening now
19:27
Speaker 2: with me understanding that data, I said to myself, I
19:30
Speaker 2: got a license out to Jumping Jack tax brand. And
19:33
Speaker 2: what ended up happening was now when starting to jump
19:37
Speaker 2: in Jack tax brand, the first thing that I looked
19:40
Speaker 2: at was people need an opportunity and people need a blueprint.
19:44
Speaker 2: And when you look inside of your communities right now,
19:47
Speaker 2: you walk down the street, the first thing you see
19:49
Speaker 2: is a tax office probably on every single corner, whether
19:51
Speaker 2: it be an H and R Block, Liberty Tax, Jackson,
19:54
Speaker 2: HEWITTT and H and R Block. If you didn't know,
19:56
Speaker 2: May three billion dollars last year off tax preparation Services
19:59
Speaker 2: and A is one of three companies that make billions
20:02
Speaker 2: of dollars in this industry, and majority of their offices
20:05
Speaker 2: are inside of black communities. Facts, and you could look
20:09
Speaker 2: that up on Google if you don't believe me. They've
20:12
Speaker 2: been taking advantage of the communities for so long, for
20:15
Speaker 2: the past I want to say, got to be forty
20:18
Speaker 2: fifty fifty plus years. And majority of the people who
20:21
Speaker 2: own these tax offices are also not black. So for me,
20:26
Speaker 2: there was a problem, and I said, you know what,
20:28
Speaker 2: I got to create a blueprint. I have to create
20:30
Speaker 2: a system in a way for now people of color
20:34
Speaker 2: to be able to own tax businesses. Because I know
20:37
Speaker 2: we all talk about buying back the block. That's cool,
20:40
Speaker 2: but what about buying back the services that are in
20:42
Speaker 2: those communities as well, that are making billions of dollars.
20:45
Speaker 2: You forgot about them. You forgot about the launder mat
20:47
Speaker 2: you forgot about the tax offices, you forgot about the
20:51
Speaker 2: beauty supply stores, all of those. You forgot about waste
20:55
Speaker 2: You've got about waste management. Waste management is one of
20:58
Speaker 2: the biggest businesses in New York City now, not only
21:00
Speaker 2: by us, by the way, But that's when I said,
21:03
Speaker 2: we got a license this brand out to Jumping Jack
21:05
Speaker 2: Tax in over six months, through so much consistency, so
21:10
Speaker 2: much hustle, I literally I probably out of all four
21:13
Speaker 2: hundred of those Jumping Jack Tax partners. I probably sold
21:16
Speaker 2: all three hundred and fifty, almost about three hundred of
21:19
Speaker 2: them all on the phone.
21:20
Speaker 6: Wow.
21:21
Speaker 2: Put in the groundwork. And a lot of people don't
21:23
Speaker 2: like to understand that. If you ask every single Jumping
21:26
Speaker 2: Jack tax partner right now, did they speak to prints
21:28
Speaker 2: that I know on the phone, they going to say yes.
21:30
Speaker 6: So you provide training and what else to the partners.
21:33
Speaker 2: So what we provide for the Jumping Jack tax partners
21:36
Speaker 2: is number one, we enroll them in online tax preparation school,
21:39
Speaker 2: which is going to give them one hundred hours of
21:41
Speaker 2: tax law information. Right now. Here's what's important too. A
21:44
Speaker 2: lot of people don't understand you don't have to be
21:48
Speaker 2: an accountant to own a tax business. Something that's information
21:52
Speaker 2: that we missed over the past fifty years. You don't
21:54
Speaker 2: got to be an accountant. Why if you walk too
21:56
Speaker 2: an H and R block right now, who's sitting down
21:58
Speaker 2: at the desk preparing your taxes? A twenty five year
22:01
Speaker 2: old girl that's probably she there part time. So you
22:05
Speaker 2: don't got to be an accountant to prepare taxes. You
22:08
Speaker 2: also don't have to you don't got to be a
22:09
Speaker 2: graduate from college. You actually, to be honest, you don't
22:13
Speaker 2: even got to go to school. Anybody Joe from across
22:17
Speaker 2: the street can literally wake up one day and say, Yo,
22:20
Speaker 2: I want to start a tax business. And there are
22:22
Speaker 2: no regulations and majority of states that requirement of any
22:27
Speaker 2: sort of education for you to start a tax business
22:29
Speaker 2: at the current moment. So but for us with Jumping
22:32
Speaker 2: Jack Tax, it was more than just tax prep services.
22:34
Speaker 2: One of the things that I was so passionate about
22:37
Speaker 2: was We're not just offering tax services. We're offering find
22:40
Speaker 2: We're offering the ability to change the people in our
22:43
Speaker 2: community's financial health. And the only way to do that
22:46
Speaker 2: is we got to provide all of our partners with
22:48
Speaker 2: the education, and then we provide them with the software,
22:51
Speaker 2: and of course we provide them with all of the
22:52
Speaker 2: marketing necessary. Because we built an entire hub with Jumping
22:56
Speaker 2: Jack Tax, an entire customer base, so that now, well,
23:00
Speaker 2: every time somebody comes on to Jumping Jack Tax, they
23:02
Speaker 2: already have a set amount of customers that are in
23:04
Speaker 2: their zip code that are already waiting for them to
23:07
Speaker 2: open up.
23:08
Speaker 7: So we integrated technology and created a Jumping Jack Tax
23:12
Speaker 7: mobile app where now all our partners will never have
23:15
Speaker 7: to struggle for customers because we built a community on
23:19
Speaker 7: the Jumping Jack Tax app. When tax season comes around,
23:22
Speaker 7: we will send that a notification saying we can send
23:24
Speaker 7: out a tax repair closest to you. And now all
23:27
Speaker 7: four hundred tax repairers and tax corporations and companies that
23:31
Speaker 7: are under us now indeed have business.
23:34
Speaker 4: So were these four hundred locations. Were they already tax
23:40
Speaker 4: offices that maybe just rebranded or were they.
23:42
Speaker 2: Just every single every single person that's we've Jumping Jack
23:47
Speaker 2: tax right now is someone of the community that needed
23:52
Speaker 2: an opportunity to change their families' lives, and we taught
23:57
Speaker 2: them a skill for them to be able to create
23:59
Speaker 2: generational walks. Heal every single one of them. For the
24:02
Speaker 2: past ten months, I haven't slept. I've been training them
24:06
Speaker 2: every Tuesday and Thursday. When it came to marketing, when
24:09
Speaker 2: it came to grow in the business, I've been making
24:11
Speaker 2: sure that they were in online tax prep school so
24:13
Speaker 2: that they can get the knowledge when it came to
24:14
Speaker 2: tax law. I've literally and the only reason why I
24:18
Speaker 2: felt this was important was because I didn't want this
24:21
Speaker 2: is important. You don't want to bring toxic into your business, right,
24:25
Speaker 2: And I've built this this this powerful community of all
24:28
Speaker 2: of our partners that are talking to each other on
24:30
Speaker 2: a daily basis. I didn't want to bring any outside
24:33
Speaker 2: forces of people who are already tainted in the tax
24:36
Speaker 2: industry to bring any sort of fraud or whatever they
24:39
Speaker 2: were doing over there over here. So for me, we
24:42
Speaker 2: built it from the very from the ground up, this
24:44
Speaker 2: opportunity and when I educated people on a daily basis
24:47
Speaker 2: for them to understand that they can start a tax business.
24:50
Speaker 2: So obviously brought a family business. Are you have you
24:54
Speaker 2: brought any of your family members into the jumping jack
24:56
Speaker 2: tax That's that's crazy, bro, absolutely not. But what's funny
25:03
Speaker 2: is man and I and I just did a video
25:06
Speaker 2: about this, is that you never put somebody in there.
25:09
Speaker 2: You never promote somebody into a position that they aren't
25:12
Speaker 2: ready for. One thing that I'm not going to do,
25:16
Speaker 2: especially in business, is reach out my hand for somebody
25:19
Speaker 2: who's going to pull me off the wall, especially when
25:25
Speaker 2: I have to scale this wall to get over to
25:27
Speaker 2: my next blessing. Especially when as a man, my first
25:32
Speaker 2: obligation is my wife. When you get married, and I want,
25:36
Speaker 2: I want every man to understand this. Don't confuse it.
25:38
Speaker 2: Your first obligation is your wife, your kids, and then
25:41
Speaker 2: anybody underneath that from your mom, your grandmama, whomever. So
25:45
Speaker 2: anybody that's not in alignment with the vision that I
25:49
Speaker 2: have with me and my wife and my family, or
25:51
Speaker 2: could potentially cause me to stray away or to distract
25:55
Speaker 2: me from this vision, then I can't have them aboard.
25:58
Speaker 2: And I can't beg anybody to be a part of
26:00
Speaker 2: a business that they know is a blessing. It's funny
26:02
Speaker 2: that strangers believed in this vision faster than family members did.
26:07
Speaker 2: And if you know what it is, you know what
26:09
Speaker 2: it is. I tell you it's because they've seen who
26:14
Speaker 2: They've seen who I was, so they don't respect who
26:17
Speaker 2: I am. So for me, you know, I'm not begging
26:20
Speaker 2: anybody to be a part of something that I know
26:24
Speaker 2: is a blessing. Do you feel me? I'm not doing
26:27
Speaker 2: it because and my wife told me that she tells
26:30
Speaker 2: me this every single day because I be under so
26:32
Speaker 2: much pressure, is that?
26:33
Speaker 5: Like?
26:33
Speaker 2: And I be thinking about so much and I be
26:35
Speaker 2: feeling for people sometime like damn, like yo, I did
26:37
Speaker 2: all of this for this person. Why don't they just understand?
26:40
Speaker 2: You have to said that? Like yo, why it's not
26:42
Speaker 2: for me to understand when God wants that. See, one
26:46
Speaker 2: thing I can't do. I can't block somebody's tests for
26:50
Speaker 2: them to reach their testimony. Can't do it. Everybody got
26:53
Speaker 2: to go through their own test to reach their testimony.
26:55
Speaker 2: But whenever they get to that point, God will reveal
26:58
Speaker 2: that individual to me and then we'll bring them more on,
27:00
Speaker 2: you know. But other than that, I got to keep
27:02
Speaker 2: striving for the vision, for the legacy, and and and
27:05
Speaker 2: another thing that's important too, is this when you have
27:07
Speaker 2: such a calling over your life for your community and
27:10
Speaker 2: for legacy, Like right now, yo, we got we got
27:13
Speaker 2: millions of people of color right now that are struggling financially, mentally, spiritually, emotionally,
27:22
Speaker 2: in every way, shape or form. Do you honestly believe
27:27
Speaker 2: with the calling that God blessed me with with jumping
27:29
Speaker 2: jack text to be able to create financial freedom that
27:32
Speaker 2: I'm about to sit here and argue with somebody that
27:35
Speaker 2: I grew up with who should respect me, but don't
27:39
Speaker 2: got time and got it. I'm sorry it expired, homie.
27:45
Speaker 2: It inspired.
27:46
Speaker 6: We can't get that time done.
27:48
Speaker 2: Can't do it.
27:48
Speaker 3: But you say you spoke to every all of the
27:51
Speaker 3: four hundred owners.
27:52
Speaker 2: Correct, you marketed to them.
27:54
Speaker 4: They reached out to you. How did how did that grow?
27:56
Speaker 4: Because that happened like in a couple of years, Right,
27:58
Speaker 4: that's pretty that's quick.
28:00
Speaker 2: How what was the marketing when we threw four hundred
28:02
Speaker 2: partners in six months?
28:03
Speaker 3: Six months? A right?
28:03
Speaker 4: Even more impressive? So what was the how did that happen?
28:05
Speaker 4: What was the marketing?
28:07
Speaker 2: So here's here's what's important too. And I don't want
28:10
Speaker 2: I don't want people to get it confused with believing
28:12
Speaker 2: that a success story happened in six months. Right, No
28:16
Speaker 2: success story happens in six months. Success has history. You
28:20
Speaker 2: gotta understand. And I respect, I respect the plug, you
28:23
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, First and foremost, Like I said,
28:27
Speaker 2: the reason why a lot of people aren't on my level,
28:30
Speaker 2: and I'm just saying it in all humble and in
28:32
Speaker 2: the most humble way, is because I got I got
28:35
Speaker 2: a man behind me that got twenty five years of
28:36
Speaker 2: business experience. The dude is a visionary, you know. And
28:41
Speaker 2: then from there, I also have a wife that you
28:43
Speaker 2: all saw in part one, who's a firecracker, you know
28:45
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And then on top of that, I
28:47
Speaker 2: got three other people around me who are great and
28:51
Speaker 2: great at tax law, great at sales. So this team
28:55
Speaker 2: that this team that I have around me is like
29:00
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors. Right now? Do you feel what
29:03
Speaker 2: I'm saying?
29:05
Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
29:07
Speaker 5: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,
29:10
Speaker 5: and sure they definitely can be, But understanding a professional's
29:14
Speaker 5: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,
29:18
Speaker 5: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.
29:22
Speaker 5: It might seem boring to safe plan and make calculated
29:25
Speaker 5: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is
29:28
Speaker 5: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P
29:31

29:48
Speaker 6: Ernests What's up?
29:49
Speaker 5: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
29:51
Speaker 5: works like? The checkout is fast, the re seats are digital,
29:55
Speaker 5: tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door before
29:58
Speaker 5: the line even builds.
30:00

30:05

30:55
Speaker 8: Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for
30:58
Speaker 8: the team today?
30:59
Speaker 9: It was a new game day, scratches from the California
31:01
Speaker 9: Lottery players, everything, those games sent the team's energy through
31:05
Speaker 9: the roof.
31:05
Speaker 8: Are you saying it was the off field play that
31:07
Speaker 8: made the difference on the field.
31:08
Speaker 9: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
31:11
Speaker 9: the game. That's all for now couch one more question.
31:14
Speaker 8: Played than New Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine
31:17
Speaker 8: ers and Los Angeles Rams scratchers from the California Lottery.
31:20
Speaker 8: A little play can make your day. Peace made responsibilit
31:23
Speaker 8: must be eighteen years or older to purchase or claim.
31:25
Speaker 2: And that's the reason why we get rings. And here's
31:28
Speaker 2: the thing. I never take success for the four hundred partners.
31:34
Speaker 2: I just take successful being a part of that team.
31:37
Speaker 2: And you may see me as the CEO, you may
31:39
Speaker 2: see me as the face, but let's not confuse the
31:41
Speaker 2: people that are in the background who helped to get
31:44
Speaker 2: it to this point. And I think a lot of
31:46
Speaker 2: entrepreneurs they want to be self made so bad. They
31:51
Speaker 2: want to be self made so bad, and then then
31:53
Speaker 2: they're gonna turn out and realize that being so lonely
31:56
Speaker 2: in your business it sucks. There's no like, there's no
32:01
Speaker 2: way that you can brainstorm everything in your business by yourself.
32:05
Speaker 2: It's just impossible. You gotta bounce ideas off of people.
32:09
Speaker 2: You need to have somebody that while I'm working the business,
32:12
Speaker 2: it's somebody on the outside who's looking at the mistakes
32:15
Speaker 2: that I possibly might make, and they say, yo, fix
32:18
Speaker 2: that right there. I need somebody that's going to be
32:21
Speaker 2: my eyeballs. I need somebody's gonna be my my the
32:24
Speaker 2: person that speaks lifing to me and my wife. You
32:26
Speaker 2: need people like that to help expand upon a million
32:30
Speaker 2: dollar vision. But when I hear that self made stuff, man,
32:33
Speaker 2: I'd be like, all r yo, you you you frawding,
32:37
Speaker 2: you know, And I won't. I won't never fraud. I
32:39
Speaker 2: talk about the people that got me to where I am,
32:41
Speaker 2: and I'm thankful for it, you know. And I don't
32:44
Speaker 2: care what I do where I go. I'm always going
32:46
Speaker 2: to surround myself with a great team because I know
32:48
Speaker 2: that that's the qualities of a championship. And as long
32:50
Speaker 2: as I got the ring, I'm winning regardless.
32:54
Speaker 5: So so I'm average drone the street, right and I
32:57
Speaker 5: want to have a jump in jacksacks?
32:59
Speaker 6: What what is the fee for licensing?
33:02
Speaker 2: So the fee for our fee for licensing right now
33:04
Speaker 2: is five grand right now? No five grand, five grand
33:09
Speaker 2: one time fee, and then we have an annual licensing
33:11
Speaker 2: fee of one thousand per year, right but that is
33:14
Speaker 2: going to of course increase. We wanted to expand, of course,
33:18
Speaker 2: and we wanted to provide an opportunity for Uh, we
33:21
Speaker 2: really wanted to provide an opportunity for the people of
33:23
Speaker 2: our community to be able to afford this. And I'll
33:26
Speaker 2: be honest, when you look at the HNR Blocks and
33:29
Speaker 2: Liberty Tax and all these other companies they're about there,
33:31
Speaker 2: we're talking about fifty eighty thousand dollars to start a
33:34
Speaker 2: franchise with them. So and it's funny how businesses do this.
33:38
Speaker 2: And it's sort of like, how like this whole this
33:40
Speaker 2: whole red lining they redlined that business in the sense of, like,
33:45
Speaker 2: you can't afford to get in here. So I'm not
33:48
Speaker 2: going to tell you no, but I'm gonna just make
33:50
Speaker 2: it eighty two one hundred thousand dollars to where you
33:52
Speaker 2: got to say no to yourself and I and I didn't.
33:56
Speaker 2: I didn't want to. I didn't want to do that.
33:58
Speaker 2: So I wanted to provide a re in the more
34:00
Speaker 2: ability for those of our community to be able to
34:03
Speaker 2: get into this tax business and to be trained to
34:06
Speaker 2: be able to create create legacy, because that's what this
34:08
Speaker 2: is what was originally about. So five grand and then
34:11
Speaker 2: plus one thousand dollars annual licensing fee. But when you
34:14
Speaker 2: think about this right now. I just break down the
34:15
Speaker 2: numbers to you because people say, well five grand and
34:17
Speaker 2: start a tax business. Well, first and foremost, there are
34:21
Speaker 2: two things that you have to do in this world.
34:23
Speaker 2: You're gonna die, and you gotta pay taxes. There's no
34:27
Speaker 2: negotiation with that. You pay taxes than there's no it's
34:31
Speaker 2: no negotiation with that.
34:32
Speaker 6: I mean, so I know people's tax returns of more, there's.
34:35
Speaker 2: No negotiation with that. Now, the average person, the average
34:39
Speaker 2: person on the regular pays anywhere between I would say
34:42
Speaker 2: two two to four hundred dollars average right now to
34:44
Speaker 2: get their taxes done. Let's just cut it. Let's just
34:46
Speaker 2: cut it to the middle at three. If the average
34:48
Speaker 2: person is paying three hundred dollars to get their taxes done.
34:51
Speaker 2: Like I said to you before, I don't even have
34:53
Speaker 2: to go on social media to promote my tax business.
34:56
Speaker 2: We just we just built a jumpin Jack Tax Community
34:59
Speaker 2: Center right inside of Philadelphia and we're opening it up
35:02
Speaker 2: coming this upcoming tax season. Do you know that if
35:05
Speaker 2: I just do a certain amount of promotion just in
35:07
Speaker 2: that zip code, just in that zip code with thousands
35:11
Speaker 2: or thousands of people there, if I just get three
35:14
Speaker 2: hundred people, that come and pay a service of three
35:18
Speaker 2: hundred dollars for their tax preparation on the average could
35:20
Speaker 2: be cheaper or hied. Who knows it all depends that
35:23
Speaker 2: right there is ninety thousand dollars. That's ninety currently, that's
35:28
Speaker 2: ninety grand. And by the way, that ninety thousand goes
35:31
Speaker 2: directly to your bank account, and all of that comes
35:33
Speaker 2: between January through April, because that's normally around the time
35:36
Speaker 2: period that somebody needs their taxes done. So for me,
35:39
Speaker 2: I even tell people that are business owners that have
35:41
Speaker 2: other businesses, Listen, figure out how to carve out four
35:46
Speaker 2: months out of your year to start a tax business.
35:49
Speaker 2: Because if you could generate anywhere from thirty to ninety
35:52
Speaker 2: or one hundred thousand dollars during that four months, what
35:54
Speaker 2: could that do for the other businesses that you already have.
35:57
Speaker 2: That's good because it's a serve is that everybody needs.
36:01
Speaker 2: And I'm not telling I'm not telling people right now
36:03
Speaker 2: to find a new way to spend money. I'm just
36:06
Speaker 2: trying to convince people to redirect where they are already spending
36:09
Speaker 2: their money at. And it's something that that's already being done.
36:12
Speaker 2: It's not coming over to our pockets. So I'm just
36:15
Speaker 2: promoting the people. Hey, let's just take back the services
36:17
Speaker 2: of our community. It only makes sense.
36:19
Speaker 7: Plus, something that he missed to that I think it's
36:22
Speaker 7: important is I think where I was so flabbery acid,
36:25
Speaker 7: and obviously I didn't know about it. He taught me
36:29
Speaker 7: is how your tax preparation fee is coming straight from
36:33
Speaker 7: the I R S. So this, honestly was the first
36:36
Speaker 7: business I could legit think off the top of my
36:38
Speaker 7: head that I was like, hold on, so you mean
36:40
Speaker 7: I don't even have to give you money or open
36:42
Speaker 7: my debit I don't have to open my wallet or
36:44
Speaker 7: give you my debit card number.
36:46
Speaker 3: To pay you.
36:47
Speaker 7: No, it automatically comes from the IRS. So you're getting
36:50
Speaker 7: paid regardless without the person actually having the funds to
36:55
Speaker 7: pay you, because it's coming out of their tax attorney exactly.
36:58
Speaker 2: So I was like, whoa, that's insane.
37:00
Speaker 7: I've never been in a business where I was gonna
37:02
Speaker 7: get my money regardless.
37:05
Speaker 2: Correct, insane, that's insane.
37:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, you guys like me, Yeah some of us don't.
37:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, not the same. I got you, I got you.
37:21
Speaker 3: Guys.
37:22
Speaker 6: He's thinking of me buying as many properties as possible.
37:26
Speaker 2: Please, this is I think, I think what's important too,
37:30
Speaker 2: and I want to touch on something because a lot
37:32
Speaker 2: of people they hit me up and say, don you know, like,
37:39
Speaker 2: why can't I just do my taxes on my own?
37:42
Speaker 2: Right and hit me with that question all the time,
37:46
Speaker 2: And I gotta ed, I gotta educate people in this.
37:49
Speaker 2: Number one, let's just make this plain and clear. The
37:52
Speaker 2: I R S don't work for you. I think this
37:55
Speaker 2: is a huge misconception that, oh, I do my taxes
37:58
Speaker 2: on my own. But but there's a difference between doing
38:02
Speaker 2: your taxes on your own and actually having a tax
38:04
Speaker 2: expert that's walking you through this process because the IRS
38:06
Speaker 2: does not work for you, and it's very important to
38:09
Speaker 2: understand as well. And I find this, I find this
38:11
Speaker 2: pretty funny, an interesting system that they put together of
38:14
Speaker 2: how as long as you pay more, they don't got
38:19
Speaker 2: a problem with you. You pay less, they got a
38:22
Speaker 2: problem with you. But if you pay more, they won't
38:24
Speaker 2: tell you that you pay more. You gotta find out
38:26
Speaker 2: that you pay more. So for me, it's like it's
38:31
Speaker 2: really a double ledged sword that you got here, and
38:33
Speaker 2: the only way to find out if you pay more
38:34
Speaker 2: is that you had to go to an actual professional
38:36
Speaker 2: who could look over your information and say, hey, here's
38:39
Speaker 2: where we could have fixed this. So it's important for
38:41
Speaker 2: people to understand the irs don't work for you. By
38:43
Speaker 2: thinking that you're smart by trying to do the tax
38:45
Speaker 2: doing your taxes on your own, you're actually you're actually
38:49
Speaker 2: doing a disservice to yourself. And the last thing I
38:51
Speaker 2: like to tell people is this, if I walk this
38:53
Speaker 2: side of a courtroom right now, it walks out of
38:56
Speaker 2: a courtroom, what is better to come with? And I'm
39:00
Speaker 2: this is this is not to this is not to
39:02
Speaker 2: put down quarter point of attorneys at all, but just
39:05
Speaker 2: to make a point what makes more sense me actually
39:10
Speaker 2: bringing my own lawyer into the into the courtroom to
39:12
Speaker 2: represent me, or to have a quarter pointed attorney that
39:15
Speaker 2: came directly from the court who's loaded with with with
39:19
Speaker 2: with with with cases all the way up to their
39:21
Speaker 2: eyeballs and they just found out about your case probably
39:24
Speaker 2: the same day, so you was already up ship's creek.
39:29
Speaker 2: So for me, it's all about making sure that people
39:31
Speaker 2: have the right representation and most importantly, by you having
39:34
Speaker 2: somebody that's a professional, they're gonna be able to educate you,
39:37
Speaker 2: not just between the months of January through April, but
39:40
Speaker 2: actually educating you throughout the entire year. And that's something
39:43
Speaker 2: that people in our community actually need, and that's how
39:46
Speaker 2: we're gonna be able to improve the financial health of
39:47
Speaker 2: our people, not just from a tax standpoint, but from
39:50
Speaker 2: a credit standpoint, but from are you actually ensured the
39:53
Speaker 2: right way, like the entire financial scope. And unfortunately a
39:57
Speaker 2: lot of people in our communities can't afford to, let's say,
40:00
Speaker 2: pay a financial advisor, or sometimes when I was working
40:03
Speaker 2: at the bank, you had to have a certain net
40:04
Speaker 2: worth in order to even to engage with the financial advisor.
40:08
Speaker 2: So we at Jumping Jack Tax provided an alternative now
40:13
Speaker 2: for the folks of our communities to still have access
40:15
Speaker 2: to a financial services representative without being outpriced because they
40:20
Speaker 2: don't have the network to talk to someone.
40:23
Speaker 4: And I could ask for that because I'm a financial
40:25
Speaker 4: advisor and I used to do my taxes myself.
40:28
Speaker 2: And exactly, it's serious.
40:34
Speaker 4: Don't play around with it. You can make mistakes. Yes,
40:38
Speaker 4: you can think you know what you're doing. You can
40:39
Speaker 4: still make mistakes that you can, and you don't want
40:42
Speaker 4: to get ordered it.
40:42
Speaker 2: So and then when you get audio, you run to
40:45
Speaker 2: a tax professional anyway, So it doesn't make sense to me.
40:47
Speaker 2: You might as well do it the right way in
40:49
Speaker 2: the beginning.
40:49
Speaker 7: So so can we talk about text message marketing.
40:55
Speaker 4: I've heard you've talked about that before. Oh man, what's
40:59
Speaker 4: the what's the deal with?
41:00
Speaker 2: So it's funny because I pretty much built the entire
41:03
Speaker 2: jumper Jack tax business off text message marketing, but for
41:08
Speaker 2: the new entrepreneur, it's very expensive. And I want to
41:12
Speaker 2: tie into this is that as an entrepreneur, if you
41:15
Speaker 2: don't have the ability to communicate with your customer like this,
41:20
Speaker 2: you are going to fail your business. And I think
41:22
Speaker 2: it's important just to piggyback off of what Dana said.
41:24
Speaker 2: We're fighting against large companies right now who have billboards,
41:28
Speaker 2: they got radio, they got commercials, everything to drown you out.
41:33
Speaker 2: And you're just thinking about posting on social media for
41:36
Speaker 2: Sally to be able to see the post, and she
41:37
Speaker 2: ain't going to see it because they're limiting your algorithm.
41:40
Speaker 2: So for me, I had to start finding strategics, ways,
41:44
Speaker 2: strategic ways to be able to connect with all of
41:47
Speaker 2: our potential Jumping Jack tax partners. So here's what ended
41:50
Speaker 2: up happening. So when I built the Jumping Jack tax website.
41:53
Speaker 2: We had a basically people had to apply. Now, when
41:57
Speaker 2: they applied, of course, I'm already thinking ahead of time
42:00
Speaker 2: time of how am I going to communicate with these
42:01
Speaker 2: people if they decided they don't want to start with
42:03
Speaker 2: jumping jack texts. So when they applied, it's important that
42:06
Speaker 2: you grab data. So they filled out their name and
42:09
Speaker 2: one of the biggest pieces that I made them fill
42:10
Speaker 2: out was their phone number. Now, when they filled out
42:13
Speaker 2: their phone number. Every single day I was exporting all
42:17
Speaker 2: of these forms, it was about like five hundred or
42:19
Speaker 2: more applications a day coming in. So I'm getting all
42:21
Speaker 2: these phone numbers in. Now I go to an actual
42:24
Speaker 2: text messaging service and I upload I want to say,
42:28
Speaker 2: about fifteen twenty thousand phone numbers into the system. And
42:32
Speaker 2: I remember when I was about to send out my
42:33
Speaker 2: first text message, they brought up the price to send
42:36
Speaker 2: out the text and it was like fifteen hundred bucks. Wow,
42:39
Speaker 2: to send out one for one message. Fifteen hundred dollars.
42:43
Speaker 6: I was determined by the amount that.
42:46
Speaker 2: It is determined by the amount of phone numbers that
42:48
Speaker 2: is going to deliver to. But it's going to get
42:50
Speaker 2: directly to their phones, and that's why I tell people
42:52
Speaker 2: that communication is super expensive, and that's the reason why
42:57
Speaker 2: moving and kind of like positioning over over to now
43:01
Speaker 2: I'm pushing the app so hard with Jumping Jack Tax
43:03
Speaker 2: app is because now that I have an app and
43:06
Speaker 2: I get people to download this app, I don't have
43:08
Speaker 2: an overhead cost to send out notifications to everybody's phones,
43:12
Speaker 2: as opposed to text message marketing, where if you don't
43:15
Speaker 2: got the money as a new entrepreneur, that you can't
43:17
Speaker 2: you can't even afford fifteen hundred bucks. I had the
43:20
Speaker 2: ability to do it, but it was and the reason
43:22
Speaker 2: why was because by me sending out a text message
43:26
Speaker 2: for fifteen hundred, if I just get one person to
43:30
Speaker 2: close a deal with that same night, I made five
43:33
Speaker 2: thousand back and my expense was fifteen hundred, so I
43:36
Speaker 2: may thirty five in profit. So you spent that fifteen
43:39
Speaker 2: text mess oh for sure. No cheaper way to do it,
43:41
Speaker 2: No cheaper way to do it?
43:42
Speaker 3: What service? How do you do that?
43:44
Speaker 2: It's like text messaging services. You could just google it,
43:46
Speaker 2: but all of them have the same price. They're gonna
43:48
Speaker 2: charge you. They're gonna charge you on to say about
43:50
Speaker 2: three cent, maybe three to three to four cent a text.
43:55
Speaker 2: It's very expensive. And that's why it's so important man,
43:59
Speaker 2: that you have your own platform, you get your own
44:01
Speaker 2: mobile application or some sort of technology, because now you
44:04
Speaker 2: can if you if you, if you cannot affordably communicate,
44:08
Speaker 2: you're going to cause a huge, a huge a riff
44:11
Speaker 2: in your business.
44:12
Speaker 7: So at that point in time, the app wasn't yet
44:14
Speaker 7: uploaded to Google Play and Apple, so we had He
44:17
Speaker 7: also still wanted to be able to continue to move,
44:19
Speaker 7: so in that meantime he went ahead and used the
44:22
Speaker 7: text message marketing. But as soon as we went ahead
44:25
Speaker 7: and the app was published and it was live, he
44:28
Speaker 7: started repurposing all the users and now speaking to them
44:31
Speaker 7: through the app. And so that same exact thing that
44:33
Speaker 7: used to cost fifteen hundred now was free with his
44:36
Speaker 7: own mobip place.
44:39
Speaker 2: No limitation to the amount the app exactly, you could
44:42
Speaker 2: literally send out if you got a million in your app,
44:46
Speaker 2: one hundred percent and it's going to hit all their phones.
44:49
Speaker 2: Jumping Jack Tax app and we call ourselves the Uber
44:52
Speaker 2: of tax preparation services. We're the Uber of tax prep
44:55
Speaker 2: services because now people can go to the Jumping Jack
44:58
Speaker 2: Tax app, they can click find in office and a
45:00
Speaker 2: map is going to pop up, and when that map
45:02
Speaker 2: pops up, it's going to pull their zip code and
45:04
Speaker 2: it's going to point them in the direction of the
45:06
Speaker 2: closest Jumping Jack Tax partner that's there. They click on
45:08
Speaker 2: that individual and then it'll either say call or contact
45:12
Speaker 2: and they can call them directly to actually to actually
45:16
Speaker 2: set up an appointment to get their taxes done.
45:17
Speaker 7: You can do that for your business too at alexyandmaps
45:20
Speaker 7: dot com.
45:21
Speaker 2: So as major and that's one of the biggest things
45:24
Speaker 2: that I've that I saw was missing in the tax
45:26
Speaker 2: industry was technology. I'll be honest with you, every tax
45:29
Speaker 2: every single tax office or tax business right now in
45:33
Speaker 2: the industry has one big problem. They suck at social
45:39
Speaker 2: media marketing and they suck at technology. And that's where
45:42
Speaker 2: Jumping Jack tax eate them all up because I saw
45:44
Speaker 2: it immediately when I first when I first started with
45:47
Speaker 2: Jumping Jack Tax, h and R Block got less than
45:49
Speaker 2: ten thousand followers on social media. I wanna say, like
45:51
Speaker 2: six thousand. Liberty Tax got about maybe eight thousand followers,
45:53
Speaker 2: Turbo Tax got like maybe ten twelve thousand followers. Jumping
45:56
Speaker 2: Jack Tax on top of us having our app which
45:58
Speaker 2: has about one hundred thousand people downloaded. We also have
46:01
Speaker 2: about forty thousand people that follow us on social media
46:04
Speaker 2: as well. The reason why we took over so fast
46:07
Speaker 2: was not just because of our mission in our why,
46:09
Speaker 2: because I think every single person that has a business
46:12
Speaker 2: needs to have a very strong why for what they
46:14
Speaker 2: do something for. Because screw screwed Jumping Jack tax product,
46:17
Speaker 2: anybody could have started a tax business. They could have
46:19
Speaker 2: got that anywhere. People believed in the why behind Jumping
46:22
Speaker 2: Jack Tax and I made it very clear. But most importantly,
46:24
Speaker 2: I drove so hard with technology and social marketing, and
46:28
Speaker 2: that's the reason why I was able to cover so
46:30
Speaker 2: much more territory and get over four hundred partners in
46:33
Speaker 2: a matter of six months, and other other tax companies
46:36
Speaker 2: couldn't do it. And now we're the fastest grown tax
46:38
Speaker 2: company in the country right now.
46:39
Speaker 7: Ever, no in history. We've grown faster than every single
46:43
Speaker 7: tax company that has ever opened in their first year
46:46
Speaker 7: of business.
46:48
Speaker 2: And it's crazy.
46:49
Speaker 3: So well, you have Wow, you have it. Oh powerful,
46:55
Speaker 3: that was powerful inspirational life segment.
47:01
Speaker 4: I thought you had a high bar to me, and
47:02
Speaker 4: I want to show if you could actually make that.
47:05
Speaker 3: What you did extremely impressive.
47:07
Speaker 2: I want to you know, I just to be honest
47:09
Speaker 2: with you because I want to show her. I want
47:11
Speaker 2: to show her out. So I'm I'm gonna get yall
47:12
Speaker 2: something else else. I gotta show y'all, y'all something else.
47:17
Speaker 2: So you are ready for this?
47:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you're.
47:19
Speaker 2: Ready about I'm about to drop it because this tax
47:22
Speaker 2: industry man, this thing is crazy. Do you know that
47:26
Speaker 2: when you have a tax business that you can make
47:29
Speaker 2: a hundred you can get one hundred thousand dollars loan
47:32
Speaker 2: from the bank with no credit, no W two's or
47:35
Speaker 2: no income shown whatsoever. One hundred thousand cash loan. Break
47:41
Speaker 2: it down, basically, when you run when you own a
47:44
Speaker 2: tax business, there's a certain thing called bank products. Right,
47:47
Speaker 2: there's a third party bank that's in between the I
47:50
Speaker 2: R S. When you actually go to submit your return
47:52
Speaker 2: to the I R S. Right, every time that you
47:54
Speaker 2: submit that return through the bank, the bank is basically
47:57
Speaker 2: going to give you a credit. They're gonna give you
47:59
Speaker 2: one credit. So let's say, for example, I do five
48:03
Speaker 2: hundred returns in the tax business. I got five hundred
48:05
Speaker 2: credits with the bank. And let's say the average tax
48:08
Speaker 2: prep fee is three hundred dollars. The bank now knows
48:10
Speaker 2: that I just made one hundred and fifty grand from
48:14
Speaker 2: January through April during the tax season. Right now, of
48:18
Speaker 2: course I'm gonna get my full one hundred and fifty grand.
48:19
Speaker 2: A bank is gonna send it over to me. The
48:21
Speaker 2: customers are gonna get their money. Here's what happens now.
48:24
Speaker 2: Those bank products are super important because that's how the
48:27
Speaker 2: bank also makes money as well. The bank makes about
48:30
Speaker 2: thirty four ninety five every time that you submit that
48:33
Speaker 2: return through the bank. Right now, what ends up happening
48:36
Speaker 2: is after the tax season is over. What I can
48:39
Speaker 2: now do is because it's all based off of performance.
48:41
Speaker 2: Imagine if you could get a loan off a performance
48:43
Speaker 2: and not your credit. I can go after tax season over,
48:46
Speaker 2: go to the bank now and say, hey, bank, look
48:50
Speaker 2: what I did this past season, and then they're gonna look,
48:52
Speaker 2: They're gonna run your ef IN number. Now. An EFIN
48:55
Speaker 2: number is an electronic filing identification number in the tax industry,
48:58
Speaker 2: a EFIN number is this is just the same as
49:00
Speaker 2: a Social Security number, like how the bank runs your
49:03
Speaker 2: social and they can see your credit score and ethan
49:05
Speaker 2: number runs your performance. After the season is over, I
49:07
Speaker 2: go to the bank, the bank is gonna ask me
49:09
Speaker 2: for my efing, and they're gonna they're gonna type it
49:11
Speaker 2: in six two, six, three, nine to five. They're gonna
49:14
Speaker 2: pull it up. They're gonna see what my performance was
49:16
Speaker 2: for that year. They're gonna look at how much money
49:18
Speaker 2: I made in tax prep fees. And then they're gonna
49:20
Speaker 2: see what they're gonna They're gonna look at what's called
49:22
Speaker 2: a funding rate. Now, funding rate basically means how many
49:26
Speaker 2: returns got funded by the IRS because a lot of
49:30
Speaker 2: people's stuff get offset because the child support a bunch
49:32
Speaker 2: of different things. Now, as long as my funding rate
49:35
Speaker 2: is at ninety five percent, meaning out of those five
49:37
Speaker 2: hundred returns, I don't know what ninetyf I would four
49:40
Speaker 2: hundred and and eighty of those people actually got approved
49:44
Speaker 2: and the IRS sent their money. The bank is now
49:49
Speaker 2: going to write me a check for one hundred thousand
49:52
Speaker 2: dollars on the loan, No credit necessary, no w two,
49:56
Speaker 2: just based on my off of my performance to what
49:57
Speaker 2: I did last year. And now I could take that
50:00
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand and I could do whatever I want
50:02
Speaker 2: with that money. Of course, I'm supposed to use it
50:04
Speaker 2: to expand my tax business, but they don't care what
50:06
Speaker 2: I use the money for. And the way that I
50:08
Speaker 2: pay back the one hundred thousand is the following tax season.
50:12
Speaker 2: They're going to take the one hundred thousand from the
50:15
Speaker 2: profits that I make that next season. So now I
50:18
Speaker 2: was able to get one hundred thousand free and clear,
50:21
Speaker 2: and the interest rate on that is like three percent,
50:24
Speaker 2: which is unheard of. And I have no collateral, no home,
50:28
Speaker 2: no nothing, and they gave me one hundred thousand. I
50:31
Speaker 2: could take it, do what I want, and I only
50:32
Speaker 2: got to pay them back the following season, just based
50:34
Speaker 2: off of my performance to what I made last year.
50:37
Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't understand that. And if
50:39
Speaker 2: you're struggling with funding right now, trying to get cash, well,
50:43
Speaker 2: how about do you believe in yourself enough. If you
50:46
Speaker 2: believe in yourself enough you need to get the cash.
50:48
Speaker 2: Then what you do is go into the tax industry,
50:50
Speaker 2: show your performance, go get the business, get you build
50:54
Speaker 2: up your clientele, and prove to the bank that you're
50:57
Speaker 2: worth it. And the bank is going to write you
50:59
Speaker 2: that check of meeting right after the season is over.
51:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, but the bank, regular banks are taking a whole
51:12
Speaker 7: bunch of other stuff in consideration that doesn't necessarily say
51:15
Speaker 7: you're responsible.
51:16
Speaker 2: That sucks.
51:17
Speaker 7: We can't go to the bank and get loans.
51:19
Speaker 5: The second they see our skin color, they're like, you
51:21
Speaker 5: want what?
51:22
Speaker 2: Oh, they won't tell you that. You gotta say it
51:24
Speaker 2: off the record. They won't tell you that you want what?
51:27
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
51:28
Speaker 7: And so what what bank do you know will give
51:31
Speaker 7: you strictly based off of your work ethic and your
51:34
Speaker 7: performance alone, outside of oh, your credit when you were
51:39
Speaker 7: eighteen years old and ruined it.
51:40
Speaker 8: Do you get what I'm saying?
51:41
Speaker 7: So I thought that was pretty cool when you told
51:43
Speaker 7: me that, I was.
51:43
Speaker 2: Like, whoa tax bank?
51:45
Speaker 6: In my mind right now I'm saying the same thing, WHOA.
51:48
Speaker 2: Whoa tax banks? It's just legal?
51:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, Sorry guys.
51:58

52:53
Speaker 4: because it's a business podcast. But the most important thing

Speaker 4: lot too.
53:30
Speaker 5: Every every episode that we have it's a learning experience,
53:33
Speaker 5: and like this one, I'm just like I'm jotting down

54:00
Speaker 7: to continue to just throw names out there. And most importantly,
54:04
Speaker 7: with this community that is watching, you have to take
54:07
Speaker 7: advantage of these people who are actually willing to listen.
54:11
Speaker 7: And you know, we had some conversations offline about what
54:15
Speaker 7: you guys's plans are educational forget asking for permission, you guys,
54:21
Speaker 7: create your own mobile app, create your own you guys,
54:24
Speaker 7: do your own damn curriculum. And the same exact grown
54:28
Speaker 7: adults who are watching this platform right now is the
54:31
Speaker 7: same people who would have no problem investing and putting
54:34
Speaker 7: money in gaining a curriculum. They can go home and
54:37
Speaker 7: teach their kids. Forget the school, forget them. You really
54:41
Speaker 7: think we're sitting here having to do this at twenty
54:44
Speaker 7: five years old, at thirty or forty years old, having
54:47
Speaker 7: to have conversations about mortgages, about credit, about tax and
54:51
Speaker 7: yet we weren't taught these things in school.
54:53
Speaker 2: When we're literally a slave.
54:55
Speaker 7: To them when we live in this country, they don't
54:57
Speaker 7: want you in there, and especially as black men, they
55:00
Speaker 7: do not want your curriculum inside those schools.
55:03
Speaker 3: That is not the name of the game.
55:06
Speaker 7: So you guys go do it by all means necessary.
55:08
Speaker 7: And it's one thing about being inspirational, No, but there's
55:11
Speaker 7: one thing being a conduit of opportunity. And I will
55:13
Speaker 7: help y'all get to wear it is that y'all need
55:15
Speaker 7: to get to. But you got you gotta say y'all

55:29
Speaker 7: in y'all, And I know that y'all got this and
