  Speaker 2: why they need to be fourth.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Annuel too, that's very important to.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Sayel for sure. So it's a we wanted to make
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: it where. You know, music festivals became very popular, right
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: from Rolling Loud to Coachella to Root's Picnic, and that
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: feel of a music festival, it's just a good vibe.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: If you ever mental music festival and then business conferences.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Usually business conferences are more like Stush and more corporate,
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: so we wanted to combine a music festival with the
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: education and format of a business conference. So that's where
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: investments came from. So we got, you know, food trucks,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: we got musical performances. We have a Vendom marketplace. But
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: we also have panels on crypto, on real estate, on stocks,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: home buying, so all of the education is there, but
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: it's fun. It's a vibe. It's not stush. You don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: have to feel intimidated. It's for people that might have
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: just graduated from college, or for people that are CEOs
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: of companies right anywhere in between. So we want to
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: just create that vibe. And it's the fourth year and
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: then I feel like this year is going to be
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: the biggest year as far as our lineup, as far
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: as what we got give back and everything. So really
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: looking forward to.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Break down the line of because I mean, y'all had
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Tyler Perry before, So Tyler Perry, you said Bigger, So yes,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I love Tyler.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: That that's business and entertainment, but y'all be having some
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: real big.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: I think it's important to blend both, right, so people
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: can see aspiration from different aspects. So, yeah, Tyler Perry
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: is huge, but like if you see, over the past
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: couple of years, he's been mentoring a guy named Curtis Jackson,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: and so fifty is our headliner this year, which is
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: incredible because we know him from music, right, we've watched
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: since two thousand and two when he took over. In
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: two thousd three, obviously when we get risk came out.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: But now what he's done inside the world the business
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: is equally as impressive. But he hasn't had the opportunity
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: yet or given anybody the opportunity to talk about that
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: business acting. And I'm sure you know you watched your firsthand,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: so that's important. We want to highlight him and his
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: success in business.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: We got Steven A.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Smith what he's doing in media right now, sharing that
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Sharp is going to be there for the IP night,
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: So what they've done inside the media is important. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: we got local entrepreneurs too, man, I mean, damon, John's
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: gonna be there, People's so you got all these heavy
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: hitters inside there, but I'm getting to the local entrepreneurs. Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: so local entrepreneurs is important too, right, because Pigky Cole
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: is that next person up when we're.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Talking about a billion dollar evaluation.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: We've we're watching it happen in real time, and so
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: we want to have that comp that commerce and culture
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: mix where it's like, yeah, you could be a fortune
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: five hundred CEO, but you could be coming from high school.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Like we got kids coming down there. We got a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: hundred kids from New York City. That's fine.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Now we find fifty kids from our community so they
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: can see it, because once they see it, you can't
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: see it. I always tell people like in that's that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: it's cool, but you've got experience it in real life
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: in person, because it's just a different feel.
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: One thing that I've been paying attention to. I see
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: that y'all got the Marathon gonna be there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Black Sham.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Well, Black Sam and JP JP they gonna be speaking
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: and then they bringing their whole team, but those two
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: will be on stage with us.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: And y'all got a partnership with Microsoft and and the
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Marathon for a pitch competition.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and Lauren Lundon's gonna be there with somebody that
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: we it's crazy. We never got a chance to meeting it,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: but he was one of the people that we definitely
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: wanted to interview because everything that we embody, that's what
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: he stood for as far as entrepreneurship and being independent
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: f the middle man, that's what that's like his whole slogan.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: So we never got a chance to meet him unfortunately
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: passed away, but we really built wrong relationships with every
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: single person that was next to him or close to them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: So Black Sam Man, that's my guy. And you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Sam don't really talk too much at all, so you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: like if you develop a relationship with Sam, it's a
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: real relationship. It's not like no industry shit. So we
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: wanted to on and Nip. We pitched to him the
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: idea of having a pitch competition kind of like Shark
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Tank right where it's like we're gonna have one hundred
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: people and then the first round is the hundred people's
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: gonna audition like America's Got talent. Then from there for
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: people will be selected to the next round, and then
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: we're going to pick one person live on stage, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: the winner of that is gonna get a hundred thousand
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: dollars to their business. So it's a really dope opportunity
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: anybody can enter as long as you got to get
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: anybody can enter, and I think, you know, to be able.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: We talk about access to capital a lot and fearless finally,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: you know, for right, So they trying to take away
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: access to capitol. We already have no access to capital
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: really if you think about it. So anytime you can
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: really give people, you know, money towards their business, like
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: that's could be life changed. You never know what that
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: can turn into.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: So the money is one thing, but the information to
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: do with the money, So you'll give them that peaceful.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. So we're gonna be working with them
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: because you're right, we don't And that's part of the
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: vetting process too, to make sure that they kind of
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: already are on track to be successful, because you don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: want to give somebody money then they nothing is ever guaranteed,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: but we want to make sure that we put them
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: in the best situation possible to win. So definitely mentorship.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: We're going to give them all all of our resources
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: as far as like accountants, lawyers and stuff like that
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: so they can be successful. And yeah, so we had
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: that already done and then when Microsoft came in, they
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: wanted to be a part of it. So we was like, well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: this is something that we're doing if you guys want
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: to chip in on it. So it's a collaboration as
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: far as that one hundred thousand from Microsoft earn your
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Lisia and the Neighborhood Nip Foundation, and we're doing that,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: and Marathon is going to have a pop up shop
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: yes at Investments. That's their first pop up shop in
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the landa in over ten years. And then Lauren London
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: we're doing a twenty five thousand dollars giveaway well Lauren
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: London to a woman led business in healthcare, so it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: it's a lot of give back. But you know, to
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: involve Nip's family I thought was just really really dope.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Iyda and like I said, they they've just been super solid,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: like you know what I mean, Like Sam super solid.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: So when we asked him, sat down with them and
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: they was like, yeah, let's do it, and he just
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: thought it was a great way to honor the legacy
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: of Nipsey Hussule. So that's something that we're definitely looking for.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: And the law and piece was so dope because obviously
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: we know the relationship with Marathon, but she was like no,
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: I have initiatives that I really like. So women's health
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: is like at the forefront of her everything that she
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: stands for, and.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: She's big on mental health and it's huge.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Huge on it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: And so she was like, I would love to do it,
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: but here's the things I would love if we can
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: make it happen, And so shout out to our brothers
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: at Healthy MD. They were like, look, we have a
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: health and wellness business that we already run. We would
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: love to partner with them, and so the twenty five
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: thousand we'll be giving out to a women left business.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: But also they're like, look, we're not only going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: do that, we're going to mentor you in this space
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: since we're experts in it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: You know, they've hundreds of.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Millions of dollars that they've they've created and generated in business,
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: so like they're going to hold their hands through this
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: process make sure that the business gets off to the
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: right start with that twenty five thousand. So, like you said,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: these things don't happen in our community, right and so
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: once we see this absence, we can fill the gap.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And that's what this is all about.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: There's so many people that you guys have in Atlanta.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Had any politicians have reached out to y'all because it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: would be the perfect place for like Kamala Harris to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: come speak.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad said that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Because she's so into entrepreneurship and small business.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Like you said, we we got to clipped this up,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: We got.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: To clip this out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: But yeah, we've been we've been speaking to her team
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: last year. So the idea was to get it there
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: last year, and just the time and the way everything
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: worked out and we weren't able to do it. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: so we've just been in contact with her and we've
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: been you know, hinting at it. We understand the importance
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: of the election, We understand the importance of Atlanta, Fulton County,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Georgia as a state overall what it means to the election,
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: and so we were able to you know, she invited
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: us over a few times. Shout out to the black
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: men that sat down with us at the dinner, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: then we sat down on her economic tour. You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: that was something that was really important to her to
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: have black men talking about economics, and she wanted to
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: kick it off with us in Atlanta. Yeah, we did yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: we did in April, so that was dope. And so
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: you know, at the time, it was like, Okay, all
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: roads are pull into Atlanta, this is great. It's so
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: far out that we can't put it on the calendar
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: just because that's just the way politics works in a sense.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: And she said to hit us back in the first
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: week of July, and we did, and then the third
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: weekuld Lie, everything kind of changed, right because she's a
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: little she's.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: A little busy, so she's a little busy. But you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: stay tuned.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I think. But like you said, I mean, I feel like,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: to me, it would be a no brainer for Heart
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: to come if she's available, because tens of thousands of
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: people and having a serious conversation about economics and addressing
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: issues like what's a black job and access to capitol
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: these are real serious conversations I think we need to have.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: So yeah, we still we still.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stay tuned. I saw she had the rally in Atlanta,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: so that's what.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: I'm saying, This is gonna be a different conversation.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: I was I've bember rocking with the VP for a minute,
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: and one of the things that I've always been attracted
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: to her about is you know, her stance on economics,
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: what she wants to do for small businesses. So when
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: y'all y'all kicked off the nationwide economic told with her,
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: y'all sat with her. What about her economic plan? Do
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: y'all like, I'm not trying to make get an endorsement
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: and nothing. I'm just like, I'm an issues person. Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: so I support her for this issue.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Well one thing as far as like just the openness
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: to be willing to listen. Like we sat down with
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: her a few times, and I respect the fact that
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: she's not coming in saying I know everything, Like you
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. She's like, YO, tell me, like
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: what do I need? Like, first, the conversation is what
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: is the disconnect between black men and the administration? That's
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: before that's when she was a vice president. You know
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: a lot of black men unhappy with Biden. A lot
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: of black men are still even unhappy with her. So
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: she wanted to know what was causing that unhappiness, right,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: And I thought that that was big of her to
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: like not talk to us, to listen to us. Same
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: thing with economics, you know, we spoke to them, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: we spoke to a bunch of the Democrats on Capitol Hill,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: and they were like, well, what do y'all need? And
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: we told them, like, you know, access to capital is
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: important right where there's seventy three billion dollars out there
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: and we get less than one percent, Like, how we
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: going to really scale businesses if we don't have money
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: to start the business, right, Like, that's important. So we
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: was telling a few different things and she was willing
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: to listen, and I know that that's something that she
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: has championed as far as access to capital and something
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: that she said that she was definitely wanting to improve
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the situation. We have to kind of see the details
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: of it, but she definitely spoke to us about access
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: to capital.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Bringing back the middle class, making sure everybody started.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Student loans was one of the big things that she
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: talked about. And obviously I'm a prosal ownership. I was
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: just going to get into that. So the home ownership
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: piece was huge. Right when we look at wealth inside
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: of our country, specifically for our community, we know that
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: only forty five percent of us own homes, but if
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: you look at anybody's wealth that's been created, it's comes
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: from home ownership. And so having incentives for new home buyers.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: I was like, this is a piece that we need.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: It's missing. So like answering those questions, the student loan questions,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: it's like, all right, well, these are solutions, especially because
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: we suffer, right, Like we don't have the capital to
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: pay for the tuition, right so we go into that
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: and that debt cripples us for years and years and years.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: So to know that's on the forefront of her mind,
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: to understand that she has a plan, Like she said,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: she's listening, she's receptive to it. It was dope, man.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: And she's invited us a couple of times. So it
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: tells us that she's aware of what's happening. She understands
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: that we have an audience that she needs to tap into,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: and so.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: We're very aware of it. But it's dope that we
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: have the heir of somebody at that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Let me, I want to get your opinion. You saw
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: what Trump was at the National Black Journalists.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, National Association with Black Journals.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: You think it would be a good idea if we
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: have Trump and investors or don't do that?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: I mean, here's my thing, And I said this about
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: the National Association Associational Black journalists. Their journalists their job
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: is to be objective and biased. All they all they're
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: all they're there to do is bring the person in
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: front of the audience and ask the question, like, why
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: why do we as black people, because this is a
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: black thing, right, why do we as black people beat
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: each other up about this kind of stuff?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: About platforming? I speak.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: This guy can be on CNN, MSNBC, ABC doing the
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: same thing and nobody says, why y'all platforming them? As
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: soon as earn your leision does it? Our breakfast club
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: does it? You're platforming it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Why.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I don't understand that logic. I really don't exactly.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I take a step further, like, I mean, this is
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a business festival, right, Love Trump, hate Trump, however you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: feel about him. He came from Queens and he damned this.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: They say.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: He built New York City when a time when everybody
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: was running away. So to get in his mind, to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: see what his mind frame was, how he did it,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: what was his mind process, how he got the money
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and how he did all that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: I don't see why not. I don't see why that
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: would be a problem.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: You're talking about the future of the economy. So like
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: when we're talking about investing when we're doing market money,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: it's it's important that if he's going to put tariffs
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: on China, they need to know like what does that mean? Right,
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Like when he talks about tom what does that mean?
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: What does the foreign policy mean? Especially for American companies
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: when we're talking about investing, Like you would want to
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: hear those answers if this is going to be the
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: guy who's going to lead the nation of the next
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: four years. So I mean you got to look at
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: it from a half context on it, but half perspective
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: So what business What businesses growing the quickest now?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Because you know, coming from New York and.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Queens usually we only see basketball and rap right hip hop,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: But there's so many businesses growing now. So what's the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: number one business that more and more people are asking
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you guys to talk more about because they're getting into
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Like this year we got five different panels. Shout to
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Van Jones. He put together a whole curriculum because you
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: know he just got one hundred.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: Mill platform and Van Jones, but nah together everybody WoT ai.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: So like that's the like this technology thing is really
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: changing the world. Then if you use it, you understand,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: like it's damn near magic, right.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on they Because you know kids, a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: lot of kids and a lot of y'all came from education.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Kids ain't studying the same way when they get this,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: type it in there to AI and say type me
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a ten page paper and it comes right in and
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: then all they gotta do is just kind of just
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: take words in.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: If you're an educated then you have to be adaptive
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: to that, right, Like you got to be responsible with
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: the education.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: The way you used to teach is not going to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: be the way of the future.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: And so that's why we talk about education reform because
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: it's important, right, like the textbook days is over man,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: so like the quicker than we understand that, the better
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: we'll be able to adapt and use these things tobout benefit.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: But I feel like black people a lot of times
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: we have a lot of fear of things that we
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: don't understand. So you see things like yo AI is
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: going to take the jobs, and even Trump plays towards
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: that like they're going to take black jobs, right, And
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: we interview Don People's and he was kind of he
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: has a relationship with Trump, so he was kind of
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: speaking kind of friendly about him, but he said something
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: that was key, and he was like he didn't think
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: he's racist. He thinks he has an outdated view of us,
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: meaning like he still looks at black people as this
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: nineteen seventy, nineteen eighty, like know what I'm saying, Like,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: these are your jobs, like because they don't look at
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: us as like leaders in industry, right they don't look
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: at us as like we can exactly like on that level,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: and we don't look at ourselves that way either a
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: lot of times. So I think we can't be scared
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: of this technology because it's gonna come one way or another.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: It's like a tsunami. Either you prepare for or you're
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: just gonna get washed away. So they say it's gonna
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: take over two hundred million jobs over the next ten
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: years globally, and some people say that's a low estimate,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: but it's also going to create jobs, and it's going
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: to create a lot of wealth. To you look at
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: a company like in video. Nobody even heard it in
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: video five years ago the average everyday person. Now they're
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: the third second most valuable company in the world, right, Like,
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: over the course of eighteen months. So that's because of technology.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: That's because of AI. So I feel like we use
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: AI all the time and it's only going to get bigger.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: So for the kids, to answer your question, it's similar
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: to when a calculator came out. Right, Like before you
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: used to have to actually physically do long division, but
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: then once you realize that the calculator allows you to
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: do it much quicker, you still have to be educated
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: enough to know how to work the calculator. Like even
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: chat GBT, you have to be educated enough to ask
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: the right questions top it to know what okay, now
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: this is a little offy, Like you just can't just
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: have no brain at all and let it think for
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: you because then it's not gonna work properly. So I
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: think that the only thing that we can do is
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: educate ourselves on AI because there is no way around it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: And like some of the stuff, like even we met
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: with what I am, he's going to be there, some
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: of the stuff that he told us.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Was different future years ahead of us.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: He's one of my favorite people to talk to you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, he talked for like two straight hours and
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: we were just like, don't we can't even share some
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: of the stuff he was saying I even know.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you sleep knowing all this information?
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: He's twenty years ahead of us.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: The interesting part about the Nvidio pieces that we spoke
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: to the exact stay right, and they're like, this is great,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Thank you guys for information. Because people are investing in
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: they are making money, but the employees have made a
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: lot of money too, right, So you got to think
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: about that. A lot of times when they give you
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: a salary they said, well, we'll put some in stock, right,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: company shares?
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: What is it exactly? Because every time I see it
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: looked like like a herpes commercial.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: Herpes medication, Like what idiot from herpes? It looks like.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Just sounds like a herpees cha.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Your perspective is out.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: So Video is a semi conductor company, right, So we're
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: talking about chips that go inside pretty much all electronics.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: So inside of your computer, inside of your phone, inside
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: of this microphone. They have the fastest GPUs, which your
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: graphic process in units is those are what makes AI
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: run efficiently, run faster. So they're at the leader that
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: they're at the forefront of it, but they're employ I
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: was going back to that their employees have made money
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: because of the stock is going up, and so now
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: you've had employees that are now multi millionaires and they're like,
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: all right, well we might just leave and do our
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: own things. So in videos like thank you guys for
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: the information. But what we really need is we need
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: people that look like us to now come and innovate. Right,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: So they're like, Yo, how do we get to investor us?
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: How do we show up? Because we're looking for the talent,
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: we have to be the talent. If not, when we're
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: talking about prompting, who's creating that, who's doing the engineering right,
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: who's doing the language models, it's not going to be us.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: So we have to be a part of that. So
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: that's why it's important to be educated, but also to
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: say this is something that you can do. Right, So
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: we see athletes, we see entertainers, but like, you could
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: work for the wealthiest company in the world. It's not
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: just Apple, it's not just microphones. Plenty of other companies
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: that you could have an impact on it.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: That's why you think our schools need to change the curriculum,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Like I think HBCUs need to change the curriculum a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: lot of times because a lot of times they don't
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: offer the classes, and if they do, it's a very
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: intro class. And that's what I've been saying all the time.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: We need to, like you said, we need to take
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: a perspective and look what's happening in the world. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: there's no disrespect to a lot of those classes and
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: courses that they have, but the world is changing, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of times our colleges aren't.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: The world has changed. It's over.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Y'all said something earlier that made me think about the chat,
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: GPT and stuff. You know, I've been playing with it
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: a lot. It's really not smarter than humans yet, Like
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: the information is still pretty basic. I'll be asking certain
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: questions perfect Like I have questions that I know the
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: answers to.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Are you using the free version?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: No, I'm paying it. I'm paying. But it depends how
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: you use the show that I'm using. Make sure I'm.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Man is outdated. Yeah, you're good at the point.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well all right, you can use it like Google.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: It's not like you're using it like Google, like like
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: you know how many square miles is the ocean? Right?
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: No asking questions like like I'm I'm prompting it, like
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: you said.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: We well, how I use how I'll use it is
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: all right? So you guys put this show on YouTube, right,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: and then in YouTube you have a description, right, so
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: somebody actually has to actually physically write the description. Right. Ear,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Your Lisia comes on talks about uh investments, talking about
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: like I used to actually have to do that for
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: your Leadia, and you know it takes time, right, So
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: what I do now is that I'll just take key
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: points that we spoke about, right, and then I'll just
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: say we had a conversation at the breakfast club, write
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: a three paragraph description, put hashtags at the end, and
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: then it just I'll just feed it to them and
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: then within three seconds it'll write the whole thing. Right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: That's way more efficient for me because that saves me
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: probably half an hour as opposed to me writing then
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: I got a spell check what I wrote stuff like that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: So in that regards, it thinks much quicker than the
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: human because I can't write something in three seconds.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: I can't write, So it's able to interpret information on
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: one hundred thousand times faster than the human brain.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: But is it good, Like I'll give you like writing
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: a script, right, Like there's certain times I put in
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: prompts with different scripts and I read it and it's like, well.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: That's the first version of it, right, so then you
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: you after you go through it again, now you prompt
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: it again until you get to the final version that
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: you want. The fact that it can create it whereas
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: like you might have if a writer has writer's block,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: it can create for you, right, if he has the
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: writers it's going to create for you. And so it
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: moves and it becomes more efficient as you use it,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: So it starts to learn you.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It starts to learn your patterns.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: It was it was saying like, if you let it,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: if you prompt it over three months, it has a
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: high school level education. Right after six months, it has
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: like a college level education. I think now I think
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: chat ebt is now at it passed the bar. So
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: it's learning, right, and only thing that's going to do.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: That's all it does is learned. And all it does
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: is get better every single day.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: That's why people like it's gonna lose jobs because number one,
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: it's going to be more efficient. It never stops working.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: It doesn't need health insurance, right, and it's going to
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: give you results that are going to help you with
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: creativity and the process. So you're going to eliminate people
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: from that process, but there are going to be jobs
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: that are created inside of it as well.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: You could do a fly it can do an investment
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: flyer meeting, and it does. But like you said that,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: that takes jobs away from a lot of people because
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: now you don't have to go to a graphic designer.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: You go in and be like, you know what, I
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: don't like this picture. Put this picture in redes it
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: right away, and it's it's you know, it's.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: Dope in radio too. Like a lot of times, the
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: same as you'll know how this works is like yo,
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: create the ad. A lot of times I'll just say
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: all right, well create this ad.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Poom, it's done. It's efficient. Where sometimes I remember when
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: we was first getting these ads, I'm like, I.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Gotta think of the story. How we're going to write this.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: I sent submitted to the company and they're like, oh,
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: can we do it over? Can you add this? You know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: say this. I'm like, all right now. I was like
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: twenty seconds, I'm done. It's more efficient.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: What I'm intrigued about is the next level of social
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: media that's going to incorporate AI, Like how we got
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: the twitters and the instagrams now and we're we're on
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: these things.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: But what happens when you're actually in these things? You know?
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: And like there's a company called me Kai that I
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: think is is gonna be at the forefront forefront of
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: that because.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: They could literally take this, They could take this room.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: You can use your phone and turn this room, the
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: breakfast club studio into a digital into a digital space
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: that you're now in, so you're not just watching to earn.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Your legion interview. You're like right here, like and from
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: my purview, sitting right now.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: That's the sports thing I think.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: They're doing that. They're doing that with them the biggest thing.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Like if I could pay one hundred dollars and I'm
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: court side and I can watch Lebron or boxing, basketball boxing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Like entertainment, that's gonna be still you know.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: What I'm saying, because how many people can actually afford
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: to sit court ringside when Tank is fighting. But if
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: I if I could pay a hundred dollars, I'll put
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: the glasses on and now I can actually feel like
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm actually in the fight. I feel
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: like that's going to make sports way more enjoyable.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The reality here, right if y'all use the Vision Pro.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: So if you go to go in the Vision Pro
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: and entertainment else telling the guys like Alicia Keys has
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: this interactive studio session. I mean, it's ridiculous. You're in
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: the studio with it and as you're looking around, everybody's
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: looking like it's live. So imagine when you're sitting courtside,
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Imagine when your ringside. Imagine when you can't afford to
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: go to see Beyonce but you can sit at the concert.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Imagine how much more revenue that is because she can
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: only sell a certain amount of season and arena, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: don't care if it's if it's Wembley, it's ninety thousand.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: She could do a million of those, right, So, like
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: think about the revenue that now gets generated from that aspect.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: So it's the thing. It's here, like we're talking about like,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: it's no, it's already here and we got to realize
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: it and take advantage of it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: So who's the company that creates that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Telling you go look at me Ka that company doing
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: it now, they're doing it with the NBA, they doing
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: it with Wall Street Journal, like they're already doing it
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: at the next level of what we're all doing. Imagine
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: when you can sit in on earn, you lead you
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: conversations like you just said, I don't have to be
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: at in Best Fest, but I can be at invest Fest.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Right, it's here, and the next piece is going to
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: be that everybody's gonna have their own individual AI. So like, yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: y'all remember the movie Her when yeah, yeah, when he
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: sat in there, I think it's Jaquing Phoenix. He's sitting
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: in the room and the AI is in his house
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: and he starts to have developed feelings for this AI
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: and the relationship, but when he leaves the house, he
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: can't really have the same So he comes home it's
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: almost like his wife in a sense, but it's AI.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: But imagine what that's what you all the time, and
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: it's learning all your your prompts.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: He knows your schedule is.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Don't encourage that.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. That's what's that I'm not.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Telling you out here with So we was Indvos, right,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: We thought the same way until we saw somebody who
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: created this company called Soul And it's a virtual relationship,
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: right because campaign so now as people are on social
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: media more right, they're not going outside, they're not meeting people.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Some people are introverts. They're creating AI to have companionship.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: It's happening right now in.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: The making picks and all that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You got to prompt it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to try both. I don't need
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I need to try it. But
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what's happening.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Try both.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: If somebody told me all he ever got was AI,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, come on, bro, like go outside,
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: please try.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: But that's what live would be like. You think about
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: it like this.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Instead of going live on Instagram and one of those things,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: you go live right here and somebody could say, well
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I got a question, and they can type.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: In the question.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: They could be in the movie.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's amazing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: That's dope.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: You know, we talked about this with sad uh offline
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: about the Black Online Different Disinformation.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Study that they did.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: They put us in there.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: We were together and you made me think about when
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: you broughtup the Trump question, how did you How did
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: you feel about that?
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: I thought it was I spoke to them and shot
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: to her. You know, we kind of cleared up a
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: few things she said that I thought it was irresponsible
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: because once again only black people get criticized for having others.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: It's like, if you don't think this way, you're working
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: for rush. It's like Wall Street journal can speak to
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: whoever they want, they can go wherever they want. Nobody cares.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Right once we start to go anywhere outside of what
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: they think we should be, which is an extremely liberal platform.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Right now, oh man, you're off the rail. So to
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: say like we are responsible for spreading misinformation, I just
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: don't even understand that, right because it's like for us,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: we only really we've only had Democrats on I would
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: speak to a Republican, but they've never reached out to us.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: But you know, I just feel like that was something
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: that shows that certain demographics of people don't really respect
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: black journalism. They say they do what, they don't really
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: respect black journalism, Like they look they don't look at
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: us the same way that they look at white counterparts.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: I don't know black journalism respects black journalism. It's true,
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: that's fact. Wonder especially after what we just saw. It's
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: like when I saw people stepping down because Trump was
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: coming to the you know, and ABJ. I'm like, why
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: you're a journalist, like he come there and you press them.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: It's personal, right, Like people put that, they take it personal.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: They forget like the entegrity of what you're supposed to
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: be doing. Like you said, our job is to ask questions.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Your job is to answer the questions, right. The people's
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: job is to say, all right, interpret those answers. Is
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: this a person that I think I want to vote for?
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: That's that's the job, right. So to see the criticism,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: to see the backline, especially from our community, it's pretty wild.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: People are scared though.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: People are scared to say what their thoughts are because
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: this society is so quick to cancel somebody, which is
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and you cancel somebody for an opinion, you know what
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I mean? And we always say, you know, vote your interest.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: But if you want to vote Trump because Trump is
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: doing something in your interest, you should be able to
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: do it without being canceled. Of course, we could have
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a conversation, we could agree to disagree, but to the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: point where people are trying to cancel and saying I'm
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: not working with you no more. I'm stepping down because
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the craziest thing I liked.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: What Rachel Scott did. Rachel Scott was the young lady.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: She pressed the one on stage that was holding his
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: feet to the fire. I like that you're supposed to do.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: The general thing. I didn't understand it that they did
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: this on purposele Why was there only Why was there
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: three women?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: No men? I didn't understand that.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I didn't understand that. I feel like there should have
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: been some some masculine energy to kind of I don't know.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: That would have been perfectly probably. I mean, the campaign
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: is probably like there's certain people that are not gonna
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: do this with and that's probably what was the situation
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: where it was like, he's not gonna.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: But it's a gift in the curse too, because it's
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: like for your platform, for our platform. They look at
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: it like they have a personal relationship with us, right
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: because they've gotten to know us personally. So that's helpful
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: on a certain level, but it's also harmful because they
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: get disappointed or they have expectations or they where they
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: don't look at Fox or CNBC or they don't look
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: at that as personal. They know that's just news. They
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: just know that's just news, right, So there's no disappointment
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: if somebody if they do something that they don't agree with.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: But all of Black I've noticed this, the Black outlet
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: are all like personal brands almost Like let me say,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: it's like they don't look at it like a media company,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: look at it like a one on one like you,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: my homie and I don't agree with something. Now I'm
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: gonna talk crazy in your comments. You sold out because
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: one day we are puppet for the Democrats and the
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: next day we help manage it for like making you
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: up on the time.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, I literally have watched every interview that you've done,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, do they think he's gonna say something different?
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Like he's been saying the same thing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: You're a political hot rod though I noticed like you personally,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: like you cause a lot of friction and puption, like
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: you've become like a political person.
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: But it's good though, Like everything I was saying about
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Biden last year was absolutely true.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't think he could win in November.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought it was a fair question to ask
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: if the Biden has ticket is something that you can
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: win in November, and if the if the threat the
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: democracy is so great like we see it is, why
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: are you running somebody that can't win. And now you
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: see what happened. He stepped down. Now they got energy again.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Big energy.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: But you know, showed me how how quick public is.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: They're so fickle. Because even when we met with Kamala
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: the first time, we couldn't. I didn't even post the
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: picture vice president Kamala, I didn't even president. I didn't
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: even post a picture on page because I just knew
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: it was gonna be so divisive, and because a lot
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: of people didn't like her. Remember, people were saying, like,
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: where has she been? I haven't heard from her? Like
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: it was just all native. Then now everybody loves her. Yeah,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: it's just going to show you man like get her
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: is so fickle. And then like media can, media is
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: real powerful. Like the media really started to champion her
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: and they picked up momentum, and then in two weeks,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: her whole thing just shifted one eighty from people saying,
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: you know, where has she been, she's been, she's hidden,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: she hasn't said anything to now like people like she's
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: gonna be the next president. I'm just like I always
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: we had a good relationship with her, so I knew
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: that she was, you know, always capable. But it's just
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: interesting to see how quickly public perception.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm excited about that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: I'm excited about the fact the last two weeks and
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: even when she started doing the economic form, I feel
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: like I'm starting to see the Vice President Kamala Harris
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: we see off camera on camp.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Like we've been in the room, and so when people
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: are talking like now we know it, Like she's a
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: really good person, like when you talk to it. So
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: to see this happened now is like, oh, it's due time.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: The interesting part is like she can, can she do it?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: And who is she going to do it with? So
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: like the next thing is like who's going to be
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: at her VP camp?
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Governor Shapiro, You.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Do like Pennsylvania. Yes, That's why I predicted, just for
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: the momentum.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: And the youth and the importance of that swing state.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: We've had him up here. He's a good dude. I
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: like some of this.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: I liked a lot of the stuff he was doing
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: in Pennsylvania before he was even in the VP conversation.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: That's why we had him up here.
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the prison reform, the probation reform, he did with me.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: What is it called the Clean Slate Act? I think
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: it's called like he's doing a lot of those stuff
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: from PA.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: That's your prediction, I hope.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: I had the same one, and you know, you said
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: something else to or shot that made me think about it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: I think what got people excited about the VP is
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: the fact that they know she probably can win because
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: I think people are starting to be aware of Trump more,
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: meaning like they're paying attention to what's happening with the
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court. They've read Project twenty twenty five, Like it's
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: not just the rhetoric they're getting from the cable news channel,
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: They've actually done.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Some due diligence and seen it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: They've seen the presidential immunity for a president president away
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: with crimes, Supreme.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Court judges and elected phutials could take bribes.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Now, Like, if that don't wake you up to what's
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: going on and how much of you know democracy?
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Is that threat? You gotta you bugging?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: I sent some of the child's Well, I've seen wakaaka
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: post yesterday and it was like all the things that
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: he wanted to support was everything that that the Trump
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: was against, and so he was it was like the
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: education process. It was like I saw people in the
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: comments like trying to educate him on the process. He
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: was like, yeah, I can vote what I want want
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: to vote for, which is all good, but understand, like
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: the education of like your reasoning and deductive reasoning.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Does it does it align with what you're doing?
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: So I think that education process is the port where
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: you're getting it from is important too. So I'll be
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: telling people like, look, you know, don't just watch MSNBC.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: Don't just watch fives right, like, actually do some research,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: get like a cumulative assessment of the candidates that you're
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: trying to choose the issues and then make it educated decision.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: It's important for our platforms to remain neutral. And that's
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: why I try to tell people too. It's like we
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: met with the Democrats and went to the Capitol Hill
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: and all that, but we're not representatives of the Democratic Party, right,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: so we have to remain neutral because if not, then
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: we lose credibility and it doesn't even mean anything as
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: far as the journalism and now they can just kind
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: of use us for whatever they want to do. So
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: we always remain neutral and try to just stay in
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: the middle.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: And some hold them accountable, always support them.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: You got you gotta hold people accountable, and you got
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: to have converse with every single person, right, because it's
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: like once you start to alienate the whole entire side,
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: now you essentially just kind of cut off half of
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: the situation, right, and that's not really beneficial. So I
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: feel like that the Republicans have done themselves or tremendious
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: disservice because they don't really try. Like for us, they
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: we've never got no Republican has ever really reached out
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: to us ever.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Now we started getting that this year. Yeah, this year
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: we got a lot of them. We had Ni up here,
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: we had a Vi Grammar Swami up here.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: But your platform is y'all very very mainstream, right. We
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: are still like more on underground, right, but you should
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: be aware enough to know that we have a following.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: So it's like, you guys, if they don't reach out
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: to you guys, then they just are completely incompetent. But
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: it's like for us, it's like if you're not if
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: we're not on your radar, then that lets me know
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: that you're not really trying. You're not even looking to
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: have to see what's under the surface what's bubbling with
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: you know, culture is really gravitating towards So I feel
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: like they're doing themselves at their service because if they did,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: we would we would answer it because their conversations are important.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: But if not, then we're not. We're not going to
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: go out of our way to try to cater to
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: them as well.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: And we got hold them accountable.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: And from a businessing point too, when we had conversations
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: about media black media specifically in platforms, and about the
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: ad money that goes into campaigns, well, how much does
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: it go to us?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Like, if you're going to put ads on the show,
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: you're going to put at like we're talking about I
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: know that they just released that there was a one
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: point five million dollars initiative to give to black media,
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: but I'm like, you're talking about it almost one hundred
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: and fifty million dollars budget.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: You need that vote, right, You cannot win a reflection
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: without this vote. So to put that percentage a little
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: bit of allocation to a platform or an audience that
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: you need, it's almost a disservice.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: So we gotta hold the accountable flat too.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: Well, what's been the success stories from investments over the
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: last four year.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Oh man, so many man. I feel like, well, first
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: I'll speak to our success story because that's something that
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: we can relate. So we last year, it was a
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: gentleman that came from Ghana to invest Fest and he
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: had just heard about it, and long story short, he
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: came there. He came to invest Fest and he was
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: very impressed by invest Fest, so he wanted to connect
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: with us. So Chaco Bar has actually connected us. We
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: went to Ghana, they hosted us. Turns out, so you
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: heard the Afro Future. He's one of the people that
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: that those Afro Future Polo Beach Club. If you ever
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: been to Ghana, they own Post, they owned Polo Beach Club,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: they own they own a bunch of real estate everything.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: So they connected with us. They're like, yo, we got
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: three hundred acres of land and we want to build
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: on it. And they're like, well, what's the play and
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: they're like, well, I want to. It's crazy because we
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: already had this idea of bringing people from the diaspora over,
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: but not just to party and leave right like actually
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: more sustainable, like by real estate, building community. So we're
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: actually working on building the community with the brothers from Ghana.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: That's all because of investmentest right, But this vendors, we
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: interviewed a venda that made three hundred thousand dollar and
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: been the marketplace selling services. We interviewed another vendor who
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: is a husband and wife combination and they met to
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Bet who was Steve Harvey's partner, and then from there
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: they developed a relationship and they took their business from
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: making like ten thousand dollars to now they've made over
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: three million dollars just in the vendor marketplace. And the
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: people that have want to invest, fest and learn, and
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: they actually purchased a home from the information that they
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: that they received. So the networking is just unbelievable. And
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: then the information, when you add the networking with the
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: information is definitely an opportunity to change your life.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we were with our brother Ray Daniel's and it
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: was like, look when I walked into that marketplace. I've
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: never been to Black Wall Street, but I would imagine this.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: This is what it looked like when you have just
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: all these over four hundred businesses, people networking, people created ideas,
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: excuse me, and actually finding networking pieces. Right, it might
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: be your investor or it might be your next business partner,
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: or you might look and say, man, I want my business,
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: excuse me to scale like that. And so now people
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: are getting ideas how to grow their business. And then obviously,
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: you know, we come through the marketplace, but we're not
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: just walking by ourselves. We're bringing We're bringing Tyler Perry too, right,
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: We're bringing Ropert Smith through. So like just to have
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: the opportunity to see that in real person and like
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: have a moment with that, it's incredible because they're looking
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: at it as.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: A way to invest as well.
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: I know Steve Harvey walks through and he's like, all right,
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: I want every piece of art that this person has.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: Like there's opportunities in there that just don't exist. So
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: imagine you just started your business. So you're in, you're
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: one or two of your business, and you might see
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: ten thousand customers throughout the year. You're talking about fifty
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: thousand people in three days. It just doesn't happen. It's
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: a very unique opportunity.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Did he ever give you all a million? Or he
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: just did the big check thing?
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Good question, You want to know the whole story behind that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Of course, so did he? So he all right, So
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: this is before invest Fest last year. Obviously, before everything happened,
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: we was working with Revolt and they're like, yo, did
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: he want to give you guys a million dollars to invest?
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: At first? It was supposed to be a million dollar
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: for us to invest for him, right, And we're like, nah,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: let's let's do something a little bit more creative, right,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Like let's get the get the million dollars, but let's
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: like showed it in like real time, be transparent, and
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: then like break it up. So we'll put like one
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: hundred thousand the stock market. Then we'll go to like
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Louisiana and we'll buy a multi family home. Then we'll
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: give it to like an entrepreneur in Texas to start
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: a gas station. So we was gonna actually like show
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: what we were doing with the million, Like the millions
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: has grown to two million has grown to and he
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: didn't even want any money. He was going to any
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: of the profits. We was gonna split the profit and
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: he was gonna give his his part to charity and
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: then he's gonna give us the other half. So we
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: had been talking about this for months. So when we
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: was gonna make the announcement, we're like Yo, we should
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: make the announcement that invest Fest, like you're gonna come
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: like it, it would make sense to do it on invest Fest.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: So they liked the idea. So yeah, they gave us
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: the check on stage, so if anybody has because it's
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: important to educate the audience, right Like, so when they
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: do like those big Kinkos checks, contrary to popular belief
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: on the internet, you can't take that check into Bank
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: of America and cash that check. I see you got
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: the money. Bro gave me the check. I'm like, that's
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: not signed, so all right, so that's like for show right.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: Then after that then lawyers have to kind of work
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: out the final agreement or whatever, and then they wired
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: the money to you, right so that could take a
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks, but it took a couple of months.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: We never got it. And I will say this, I
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: think that he had the intentions of giving it to us,
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: because he actually called after He's like, did I get
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: the money yet? But no, I ain't get it yet.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: But his team and I can't even knock them. They
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: were doing their due diligence. They wanted to make sure
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: it was right that the you know, the legal agreement
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: and everything. So it was just taking a long time, right,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: It took like from investments in August to like October.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: It's still now. It wasn't ten months.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: It was like, so we started the conversations.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got the check, the big check, so and
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: I told we still do and get it right. And
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: then in November everything.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Happens and then and you knew it was over.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: It was over. We didn't even bother so we never
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: got the physical money. But also that's important to kind
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: of clay up too. It wasn't a donation to us.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: It was he wasn't investing in earning your leisure. We
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: were going to invest the money for him and the
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: proceeds was going to go to charity. Right, So that's
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: another you know, people kind of create their own natives,
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: like yo, did he gave y'all a million dollars, so
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: y'all can't talk about him. He never gave us a
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: million dollars. And even if we did get the million,
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: it was never we would never. It was never going
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: to our bank account. It was never going to earn
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: your leisia. It was going to be invested, right. But
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: but yeah, that that never actually ended up happening.
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: But that's not even something y'all would talk about. I mean,
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: I see you know, y'all do the blackout.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Now you and you and y'all talk about more socially
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: culturally stuff.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Financial, Why did y'all start doing that?
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: Just dude, Yeah, because you know, it's like we want
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: to just have some diversity, so earn your leisure. We
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: interviewed entrepreneurs market Monday. We talk about stocks, but we
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: we have like other views, right, and I just we
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: just wanted to kind of be a little bit more
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: like you know, free range to talk about whatever. We
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: wanted to talk about what there's conspiracy theories, relationships, whatever.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: So that show, it's a nighttime show, comes when at
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: ten o'clock, kind of like wanted to do like a
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: you know how they have like late night shows. So
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: that was like that was like our spin on like
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: a late night show. We bring different guests on, like
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: poor minds. They wouldn't really necessarily fit in the ecosystem
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: of early leisure, but that allows that's a place for
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: them to fit, like so stuff like that.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: So it's a it's a blueprint that that you you
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: have right here, right like you have Breatherst Club, but
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: you got brilliant. It's a different format and it's different
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: views that you can express. So it's like the box.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: We always talk about box. Never let anybody put you
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: in the.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Box, but they want they want to keep with.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: So like even now when people watch it, they're like, yo,
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: what y'all turned into this?
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Like why are y'all not talking about investments? I'm like, yo,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: you know, that's just.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: One part of our life investments every day.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Day, dude?
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Do people get mad at y'all? Like, like if y'all
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: give your opinion on the Kendrick and Drake like you know,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, like you'll stay stick to stocks. I mean,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: like y'all can't have an opinion, you know, I mean.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: What does this have to do with economic empowerment? Six years?
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: Every day? Like we our life is more than just
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: reading stock charts, Like we actually like a variety of
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: different things, and we've been doing this way before we
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: got into business. So it's like, I think it's important
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: to have diversity and that makes it more relatable right
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: where it's like just regular people. It's not like we're
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: not and we never put ourselves out there. Is like
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: the Holy Saints where it's like we can never have
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: an opinion about a relationship, we can never have an
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: opinion about sports, Like we're sound the Mountain that we
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: can only talk to Robert Smith and only talk about
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: private equity.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Like exactly, that's the important part. We grew to that.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: But what we started at it was like, Yeah, everybody
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: in this world we recognized because that's part of the culture.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: This is not just like hey, we just came up
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: in this world of finance and this is all we've
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: ever studied in our entire lives. Like nah, I always
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: say like we're the fifth with a sixth element of it,
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: but this is hip hop.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: Like we might this is the house on Wednesday, might
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: be a diamond on Thursday. That's really our life. Like
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: we move in between those two worlds and like we
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: do your show, we do CNBC. Like you know, I
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: think that people like you said, they try to put
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: you in a box, and I think that that's dangerous
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: because nobody should be held to just what somebody else
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: thinks of them, right, Like everybody should be able to
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: do whatever they want to do.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: And I'm not knocking nobody else.
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: I just feel like black people we're the people who
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: have the diversity to do that. You can be in
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: all those different spaces. A lot of times when you
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: a white person, you got your world.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Your world is just certain.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: You don't have you're not.
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: Forced to learn about a little bit of everything that
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: helps you to navigate all of these different spaces.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: We do it, and we do it effortlessly.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: We have a certain level of duality that nobody else
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: can can to manifest, like we just have it and
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: it's just kind of a natural thing because we've had
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: to adapt to it, like we love a multitude of
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: things like that's just part of the nature of being
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: black in America.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Well, how can they get tickets for invest Fest?
