- 1:28Speaker 2: to first first of all, thank you guys for rocking
- 1:31Speaker 2: with us and you know we appreciate your feedback. Thank
- 1:33Speaker 2: you for your support means a lot to us. So
- 1:36Speaker 2: we're gonna jump right into it. We have a few
- 1:40Speaker 2: things that we're gonna talk about this episode. The first
- 1:42Speaker 2: thing that we're gonna talk about is streaming, but on
- 1:44Speaker 2: a different on a different level. You know, we've covered
- 1:47Speaker 2: streaming before, but on the musical side, So now we
- 1:50Speaker 2: want to we want to cover it on the content
- 1:52Speaker 2: side and talk about two major players in the streaming
- 1:56Speaker 2: game as far as shows and movies are concerned, and
- 2:00Speaker 2: that is Netflix and Amazon.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:02Speaker 4: I mean, we reference them so much that it's only
- 2:05Speaker 4: right that we take a look at the business side.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. So, yeah, we talk about We talk
- 2:09Speaker 2: about Netflix a lot because obviously it's revolutionized the way
- 2:14Speaker 2: that we consume television.
- 2:16Speaker 4: You know, it's well more so original programming, because TV
- 2:22Speaker 4: that would be we're going to get into that too,
- 2:24Speaker 4: but Hulu would be more of a television side, but
- 2:27Speaker 4: movies and original content would be like a Netflix, right right.
- 2:30Speaker 2: So we wanted to talk about it from a different
- 2:32Speaker 2: standpoint though, because I want to kind of compare Netflix
- 2:37Speaker 2: versus Amazon on the business side. I actually wrote about
- 2:41Speaker 2: this on my Instagram a while back, but I wanted
- 2:43Speaker 2: to go into depth about it because I don't think
- 2:45Speaker 2: people fully understand the fight that's going on right now.
- 2:50Speaker 2: To me, it's interesting we try to take a different
- 2:52Speaker 2: approach on business and look at things from a different standpoint,
- 2:54Speaker 2: not just report what's going on, but look at it
- 2:57Speaker 2: from case studies, or look at it from the back stories,
- 3:00Speaker 2: or look at it from in house fights and stuff
- 3:03Speaker 2: like that. So there's a big fight going on right
- 3:05Speaker 2: now between Amazon and Netflix. And just to kind of
- 3:07Speaker 2: give you a quick summary, Netflix, you know, was soaring.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Their stock was up one hundred and six percent midway
- 3:15Speaker 2: through last year in June, and then after that it
- 3:18Speaker 2: really started to tank. It was down thirty seven percent
- 3:20Speaker 2: to end the year. So, long story short, a lot
- 3:24Speaker 2: they have a lot of different issues Netflix, but one
- 3:26Speaker 2: of the main issues is that Amazon is coming in
- 3:29Speaker 2: and they're putting a lot of pressure on them.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Yeah. Well Amazon is notorious for that.
- 3:33Speaker 4: They see somebody's making money up down the street and
- 3:36Speaker 4: they're like, all right, we got to figure out how
- 3:38Speaker 4: we're en this, and usually we'll get into that is
- 3:40Speaker 4: when they come into a space, they take over and
- 3:43Speaker 4: dominate the space.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Yeah, the major players for sure. So last year Amazon
- 3:47Speaker 2: spent five billion dollars on their original content for their
- 3:51Speaker 2: streaming service. Right, So what that did was that made
- 3:55Speaker 2: Netflix up there spending. So they up there spending from
- 3:58Speaker 2: eight billion to twelve billion. So the problem with that
- 4:01Speaker 2: now is that Netflix now spends more money on original
- 4:05Speaker 2: content than any other American television network.
- 4:08Speaker 4: And they've seen some benefits from it, like their shows
- 4:11Speaker 4: have been well received, you know, Narcos and a couple
- 4:16Speaker 4: of other things making up a Murderer. They've had great
- 4:19Speaker 4: original content, whereas Amazon thus far has struggled with gain
- 4:23Speaker 4: traction on some of this stuff.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, exactly. So you have Ozarks, you have
- 4:29Speaker 2: you have Narcos, You have a lot of hit shows
- 4:34Speaker 2: that are popular that our original Netflix shows, right, And
- 4:38Speaker 2: like you said, Amazon, I don't think they really have
- 4:40Speaker 2: that one show.
- 4:42Speaker 3: They haven't had a stand up they.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Hang their hat on yet. But I think their strategy
- 4:46Speaker 2: is more of the long game. So what they're doing
- 4:48Speaker 2: is so as I said, they put they so they
- 4:50Speaker 2: spent five billion last year, right, So that made Netflix
- 4:54Speaker 2: raise their spending from eight billion to twelve billions just
- 4:56Speaker 2: to compete. So by spending twelve billion now now they
- 4:58Speaker 2: spend more on content than any other American television network.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Anybody ABC, NBC doesn't matter anybody. They spend the most.
- 5:06Speaker 2: But the problem with that is that they work it
- 5:09Speaker 2: on very thin margins, right, so they make very small
- 5:12Speaker 2: profit because they're heavily leveraged. So they have a lot
- 5:15Speaker 2: of debt, huge amount of debt. So last year that
- 5:17Speaker 2: debt went up seventy one percent, right, So right now
- 5:21Speaker 2: they have eight point three billion dollars in debt, right,
- 5:23Speaker 2: So the problem is that going forward they can't sustain that.
- 5:28Speaker 2: It's not sustainable. So one or two things that are
- 5:30Speaker 2: gonna happen. They're going to keep borrowing billions of dollars
- 5:32Speaker 2: and eventually they run the risk of going to bankruptcy
- 5:36Speaker 2: or they raise subscription prices, which they actually already did.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Yeah, Like they went from twelve dollars to sixteen dollars
- 5:44Speaker 4: depending on your package. So if you've got the four K,
- 5:46Speaker 4: it was sixteen dollars. If with that you can have
- 5:50Speaker 4: four people sharing your account, it's like they lose money
- 5:53Speaker 4: on that too, right, So like we have like I
- 5:56Speaker 4: have an account, but there's like a few people that
- 5:58Speaker 4: use it, right, and so those people that use my
- 6:01Speaker 4: account now are not paid subscribers. So that's an issue
- 6:04Speaker 4: that they've been combatant. But I'm just want to go
- 6:06Speaker 4: back for a second because you said something that.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Was really interesting about Amazon.
- 6:10Speaker 4: One of their models and he Beosos wrote this in
- 6:13Speaker 4: his nineteen ninety seven like letter, Jeff Bails. I'm sorry,
- 6:17Speaker 4: Jeff Bayals said it in the opening of his company,
- 6:19Speaker 4: is that they will They are about long term game.
- 6:23Speaker 4: They really don't care about short term profit or loss.
- 6:26Speaker 4: And we're going to see how that plays it apart
- 6:28Speaker 4: in a company in a few minutes. But like, that's
- 6:32Speaker 4: exactly what's happening now, right, we'll play this game with y'all.
- 6:35Speaker 3: But I know that y'all to.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Think about Amazon, it's the third biggest publicly traded company
- 6:39Speaker 2: in the world, so they have a lot more resources
- 6:42Speaker 2: and a lot more funding to, like you said, play
- 6:45Speaker 2: the long game, right. They don't have to win this year,
- 6:48Speaker 2: or even next year, even five years down the line.
- 6:50Speaker 2: They can stretch it out for a long period of time.
- 6:53Speaker 2: And if Netflix can't find a way to raise revenue
- 6:57Speaker 2: at a faster pace, then they to be screw.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Because stream is just a part of their business, like
- 7:02Speaker 4: that cloud service iseah Amazon revenue.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. And then the last one that Netflix has
- 7:10Speaker 2: to try to combat this is that they can cut content,
- 7:14Speaker 2: so that would save the money, but that'll also compromise
- 7:19Speaker 2: who they are, Like they're known for original content. That's
- 7:21Speaker 2: why they spend so much money on content. So they
- 7:25Speaker 2: have some issues, right. The debt is a major problem
- 7:29Speaker 2: for them, and we have to see how it plays out.
- 7:32Speaker 2: But it's interesting because Amazon Actually somebody said this to me,
- 7:36Speaker 2: and it's true if you think about it. I'm not
- 7:37Speaker 2: sure why Jeff Bezos named the company Amazon, but if
- 7:43Speaker 2: you think about it, Amazon is the name Amazon means massive, huge,
- 7:48Speaker 2: like the Amazon rainforest, you know. So that's really what
- 7:52Speaker 2: the company has become, right. They're such a massive company
- 7:56Speaker 2: that they they're willing to just spend massive amounts of
- 7:59Speaker 2: money take over all the areas, right, whether it's shipping,
- 8:04Speaker 2: whether it's books, whether now it's content. So that's really
- 8:07Speaker 2: what they've become. They've become just the abominal snowmen. You
- 8:13Speaker 2: can't stop them.
- 8:14Speaker 3: It's like the big bully in business right now.
- 8:17Speaker 4: And one of the companies that often gets left out
- 8:20Speaker 4: sometimes in the streaming is Hulu. Obviously they don't generate
- 8:24Speaker 4: as much money as Netflix. I think last say, they
- 8:26Speaker 4: did eight point seven billion dollars. But they have a
- 8:29Speaker 4: very interesting story. So Hulu for those are not familiar,
- 8:33Speaker 4: they do offer original content, and some of the original
- 8:36Speaker 4: content is really good, Like The Handsmaid's Tale is probably
- 8:38Speaker 4: the most popular show.
- 8:40Speaker 3: It's won plenty of awards for the acting in it.
- 8:44Speaker 4: But they have live TV, which the other platforms don't
- 8:50Speaker 4: really offer. Right, they can perform a lot. They have
- 8:52Speaker 4: fifty channels. If you pay for their subscription, there's au
- 8:55Speaker 4: premium subscription. I think it's like forty dollars. But what
- 8:58Speaker 4: they do is to combat Netflix, who can't put on
- 9:01Speaker 4: content that just happened. So like if you wanted to
- 9:03Speaker 4: watch Power, you have to wait for that season to
- 9:07Speaker 4: be over for it to even get to Netflix.
- 9:09Speaker 3: They do it the next day, so they have that advantage.
- 9:12Speaker 4: But one other thing that we looked at and studying
- 9:15Speaker 4: Hulu is that and I looked at.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Who owns it.
- 9:19Speaker 4: It's split up between four companies, right, so Disney owns
- 9:23Speaker 4: thirty percent, twenty first Century Fox owns twenty thirty percent,
- 9:28Speaker 4: you have Comcasts that owns thirty percent, and I think
- 9:31Speaker 4: Time Warner owns about ten percent. So you got one
- 9:33Speaker 4: hundred percent of the company owned by four majority companies.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Right.
- 9:37Speaker 4: The interesting thing about that is that Disney's going to
- 9:39Speaker 4: have its own streaming service too. So like if Netflix
- 9:41Speaker 4: thought that Amazon was the problem, they have a big
- 9:43Speaker 4: problem coming their way because Disney is about to take
- 9:47Speaker 4: all their content, all of Netflix, right, So now they
- 9:49Speaker 4: have they have the Marvel catalog, they have all their
- 9:53Speaker 4: Disney catalog, they have Star Wars catalog. But they just
- 10:00Speaker 4: are about to close on a deal I think the
- 10:02Speaker 4: top of the first maybe sometimes this quarter, to acquire
- 10:06Speaker 4: twenty fourth Century.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Well, the interesting thing also is that now Apple's getting
- 10:09Speaker 2: in the streaming game. Yeah, so Apple this year they're
- 10:12Speaker 2: gonna put as out a billion dollars to their new
- 10:19Speaker 2: streaming service. So Apple's interesting because Apple a lot of people.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Majority of people have iPhones, right, and the way we're
- 10:27Speaker 2: consuming content now is more and more on our mobile
- 10:32Speaker 2: devices and not on television. So if you now they
- 10:35Speaker 2: have a unique advantage because it's going to be free.
- 10:38Speaker 2: They probably factor in the court somewhere in the phone,
- 10:41Speaker 2: but it's going to be free. Everybody's gonna have it
- 10:44Speaker 2: on their phone, right, like iTunes something like that. So
- 10:48Speaker 2: now like how you watch YouTube on your phone, you'll
- 10:51Speaker 2: be able to watch the Apple streaming on your phone.
- 10:54Speaker 2: So they'll have shows that they just gave Kevin Durant
- 10:56Speaker 2: some money for a show that he's gonna put out.
- 10:58Speaker 2: So they're putting more into into different shows, original content.
- 11:02Speaker 2: But the advantage that they have, like I said, they
- 11:04Speaker 2: already have the platform.
- 11:07Speaker 3: Billions of users.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Yeah, they already have the billions of people that already
- 11:10Speaker 2: have iPhones and iPads already. So now when they put
- 11:14Speaker 2: the content directly on your phone, it even makes it
- 11:18Speaker 2: easier easier to consume because now you don't have to
- 11:21Speaker 2: go to the app, or you don't have to you know,
- 11:23Speaker 2: I mean you have an app, but the app is
- 11:24Speaker 2: already on your phone. It's not something that you even
- 11:26Speaker 2: have to download.
- 11:27Speaker 4: So so I mean, those are two major competitors that
- 11:30Speaker 4: are coming in this lane and within the next year
- 11:32Speaker 4: or so. Right, because if Disney goes through with that,
- 11:35Speaker 4: I think seventy one billion dollar purchase of twenty first
- 11:38Speaker 4: century Fox.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Of film and TV division.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Now they own sixty percent of Hulu, right, that's number
- 11:46Speaker 4: three in the streaming service. They own sixty percent of that,
- 11:48Speaker 4: plus they're going to bring their own content. I mean,
- 11:51Speaker 4: that's a goliath.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's important too for people that you know
- 11:58Speaker 2: are creators, is that right now is a brilliant time
- 12:03Speaker 2: to get funding in your programs, right, because it's a
- 12:06Speaker 2: race shows. So you have all of these different companies
- 12:10Speaker 2: that are spending massive amounts of money and they're looking
- 12:13Speaker 2: for original content.
- 12:15Speaker 4: So like you even that, like some of them are
- 12:17Speaker 4: catered toward kids, right, and then some are catered toward
- 12:21Speaker 4: the adult population and middle aged people.
- 12:23Speaker 3: So it's going to be an arms race.
- 12:25Speaker 4: But one of the interesting things that we the fact
- 12:27Speaker 4: that we even have this conversation is that people are
- 12:30Speaker 4: not doing cable service anymore, Like people have cut the cord,
- 12:34Speaker 4: and like these are the results of that. We can
- 12:36Speaker 4: see that, like these companies are existing because people have decided, listen,
- 12:40Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty dollars a month for me to
- 12:42Speaker 4: watch five to ten channels, it's just not worth it anymore. So, right,
- 12:46Speaker 4: So then HBO has their own streaming service, Showtime gets
- 12:50Speaker 4: their own streaming service. Right, you can subscribe just to
- 12:53Speaker 4: those things now you don't even have to go through
- 12:55Speaker 4: cable vision over rising now, So like that's a result
- 12:59Speaker 4: of cord cutting that this conversation in itself.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the landscape has changed. Just like I said,
- 13:05Speaker 2: we talked about music. Music landscape has changed, but also
- 13:09Speaker 2: television TV landscape has changed and probably will continue to
- 13:14Speaker 2: be changed.
- 13:14Speaker 4: I mean, you're not a big TV guy, but like,
- 13:16Speaker 4: how many channels do you watch when you are watching TV?
- 13:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't watch that. I watched sports ESPN.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Like I watched maybe four channels and I pay for
- 13:24Speaker 4: seven hundred of them.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Right, So like this is this is the way. This
- 13:28Speaker 3: is going to be the way of the future obviously.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, all right, So anymore to add about that.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Or yeah, I mean, let's let's say with Amazon, because
- 13:39Speaker 4: something that's happening, especially in our area right now, is
- 13:42Speaker 4: people are starting to realize that this Amazon effect and
- 13:46Speaker 4: what that really is is just like like you said,
- 13:49Speaker 4: like they encompass everything. So the Amazon effect really just
- 13:53Speaker 4: means a complete domination or disruption of a market.
- 13:57Speaker 3: And we've seen them do this and companies have disappeared.
- 14:03Speaker 4: I'll get you there's an example of in twenty ten
- 14:06Speaker 4: and your father, I'm a father, there was a company
- 14:09Speaker 4: called diapers dot com.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Yeah heard of them?
- 14:12Speaker 4: No, I know, So diapers dot com pretty much was
- 14:15Speaker 4: an online site to help parents you order deliver pampas
- 14:19Speaker 4: to your house, and Amazon decided, hey, we want to
- 14:22Speaker 4: get in this game.
- 14:23Speaker 3: We're getting in this game.
- 14:25Speaker 4: So they decided to have Amazon Mom and their subscription
- 14:29Speaker 4: was if you join Amazon Mom, you get Amazon Prime
- 14:33Speaker 4: free for three months, plus discounted prices. So like, if
- 14:36Speaker 4: you know Prime, I'm a Prime member, you get free
- 14:38Speaker 4: two day shipping and you're getting discounted on the on
- 14:43Speaker 4: what you're ordering. Right, so whatever whatever Baby supplies it as,
- 14:46Speaker 4: let's just say there's diapers, you're getting discounted. So it
- 14:48Speaker 4: was maybe forty dollars a bucks now it's maybe twenty
- 14:50Speaker 4: five dollars a box. They did that to just combat
- 14:54Speaker 4: with diapers dot Com was doing and they saw that
- 14:57Speaker 4: they were losing money by doing it. But while they
- 14:59Speaker 4: were lo and money, Typers dot Com losing money too
- 15:02Speaker 4: because two things that parents always look for affordability and accessibility.
- 15:06Speaker 4: Is it going to be affordable for me to get
- 15:08Speaker 4: these pampers. Yeah, it's fifteen dollars cheaper and it gets
- 15:11Speaker 4: delivered directly to my home in two days.
- 15:13Speaker 3: I'm taking that route. So they lost money, right, but
- 15:17Speaker 3: in the end, Typers dot com get shut down. Guess
- 15:19Speaker 3: who buys them?
- 15:21Speaker 4: Amazon buys them out goodbye, Right, So like just completely
- 15:26Speaker 4: come into a space, take a loss, right, but then
- 15:30Speaker 4: all right, we'll buy you, thank you, We'll take it.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Like I watched the Nature Channel sometimes and one of
- 15:36Speaker 2: these animals, I think it's either a crocodile or an alligator,
- 15:40Speaker 2: maybe both. But how they kill their prey is that
- 15:44Speaker 2: they smother them and then they drag them into the
- 15:47Speaker 2: road and they just keep going deeper and deeper soil.
- 15:51Speaker 2: You can't breathe anymore. Right, And that's pretty much the
- 15:54Speaker 2: business strategy that Amazon is doing, right. It just yeah,
- 15:57Speaker 2: take you out further and further into the deepen. You
- 16:00Speaker 2: can't breathe anymore, and eventually you're going to have to
- 16:02Speaker 2: just give up. Yeah, we'll take it over for a minute.
- 16:03Speaker 2: But they so they try that again in the home
- 16:07Speaker 2: home service.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Market, Like there was a company called Porch and they
- 16:13Speaker 4: were deciding.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Hey, people needed help doing things.
- 16:15Speaker 4: If you needed plumbing, if you needed lighting, if you
- 16:18Speaker 4: needed anything fixing your home TV mountains. They were providing
- 16:21Speaker 4: that service. Amazon saw that and said, you know what,
- 16:25Speaker 4: We're going to provide home service. Right, So rather than
- 16:29Speaker 4: folding like diapers dot Com did. Porchs decided the only
- 16:33Speaker 4: way we're gonna survive is to try to compete with them,
- 16:36Speaker 4: just for the short term. So what they did was,
- 16:38Speaker 4: you know what, we'll go to your competitor. So they decided, Hey,
- 16:41Speaker 4: we're going to go to home Depot, We're gonna go
- 16:43Speaker 4: to Lows and we'll partner with them, and that's how
- 16:45Speaker 4: we'll keep our business going. So that's another way like, hey,
- 16:49Speaker 4: rather than just folding short term, let's just keep afloat
- 16:52Speaker 4: until they just say, you know what, you're.
- 16:54Speaker 3: Drowning and you have an other choice. Yeah, it's interesting.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Amazon's in the news now in our area because most
- 17:03Speaker 3: people know and if you don't.
- 17:05Speaker 4: They're looking for a second headquarter and they chose two
- 17:08Speaker 4: cities and New York City was one and Virginia Crystal City, Virginia,
- 17:13Speaker 4: which is the DC metro area. Yeah, and it's interesting
- 17:17Speaker 4: because Long Island City is where it's going to be.
- 17:21Speaker 4: And when people think Long Island City, they probably think
- 17:23Speaker 4: that is out in Long Island, and we know that
- 17:26Speaker 4: it's in Queens.
- 17:27Speaker 3: So this facility is going to be built in Long
- 17:29Speaker 3: Island City.
- 17:30Speaker 4: But the interesting thing about it is that Long Island
- 17:33Speaker 4: City where the site.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Is going to the construction is going to take place
- 17:37Speaker 3: if it goes.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Through, is one down, one mile down the road from
- 17:41Speaker 4: a place we know very well in hip hop music.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Yeah probably not even well. No Long Island City all right,
- 17:47Speaker 2: so Queensbridge Project the biggest housing projects in North America
- 17:52Speaker 2: right home of legendary rappers Na Nas, Mob Deep, Molly
- 17:59Speaker 2: Ma Pamega and then also run our test yes so yeah,
- 18:12Speaker 2: so a lot of it's been a lot of backlash
- 18:15Speaker 2: that that will lead to further gentrification of the area.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Change it, But Long Island City is already gentified if
- 18:23Speaker 2: you know the area. It's an interesting case study that
- 18:27Speaker 2: we actually have a whole different discussion about that certification
- 18:31Speaker 2: and real estate and things of that nature. But not
- 18:35Speaker 2: to stay on this topic for too long, but that's
- 18:37Speaker 2: an interesting case study within itself, because you know, I
- 18:42Speaker 2: travel and I see different places, not just in New
- 18:45Speaker 2: York but all over the world where.
- 18:46Speaker 3: A lot ernest what's up.

- 19:57Speaker 4: by P and C Bank. A lot of people think
- 20:00Speaker 4: podcasts about work of boring, and sure, they definitely can be,
- 20:04Speaker 4: but understanding a professionals routine shows us how they achieve
- 20:07Speaker 4: their success little by little, day after day. It's like
- 20:12Speaker 4: banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring
- 20:14Speaker 4: to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,
- 20:18Speaker 4: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live
- 20:20Speaker 4: a more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank Brilliantly

- 20:46Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
- 20:50Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 20:54Speaker 5: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 20:58Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump's leadership.
- 21:00Speaker 6: Christinome, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump,
- 21:05Speaker 6: attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest.
- 21:08Speaker 5: Levels ever recorded, and over.
- 21:10Speaker 6: One hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 21:13Speaker 6: were here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
- 21:17Speaker 6: one thousand dollars a day. Imprisoned and deported, you will
- 21:21Speaker 6: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 21:25Speaker 6: app and leave now you could be allowed to return legally,
- 21:28Speaker 6: do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump America's laws,
- 21:33Speaker 6: border and families will be protected.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Out of public housing developments were put in prime real
- 21:42Speaker 2: estate locations, right and Queensbridge is actually a perfect example
- 21:45Speaker 2: of that because if anybody's familiar with New York, so
- 21:48Speaker 2: Queensbridge projects is literally right on the water in Queens
- 21:55Speaker 2: overlooks Manhattan East River. It's one of the best views
- 22:01Speaker 2: that you can have. Yeah, it's amazing. So I'm pretty
- 22:05Speaker 2: sure when they were building that they didn't fully think how, yes,
- 22:11Speaker 2: exactly how valuable that real estate is. Right, It's one
- 22:15Speaker 2: of the most valuable real estates probably in the world perhaps,
- 22:20Speaker 2: so they can't just tear down the buildings. So what
- 22:24Speaker 2: they did was they just built around it. Right. So
- 22:26Speaker 2: if you go there now, you have five star restaurants,
- 22:29Speaker 2: you have Amazon moving there, you have million dollar apartments,
- 22:34Speaker 2: and you would never know that it's the largest housing
- 22:38Speaker 2: project is right in the middle of all of that,
- 22:40Speaker 2: because it's kind of hidden almost in a sense.
- 22:43Speaker 4: And that's part of the issue that a lot of
- 22:45Speaker 4: people are having they're saying, look, you're building this one
- 22:48Speaker 4: billion square foot almost little town a mile down the
- 22:53Speaker 4: street from the largest housing projects in America. The median
- 22:56Speaker 4: income is fifteen thousand, right, and we know that when
- 22:59Speaker 4: prime real estate comes in like that, what happens to
- 23:01Speaker 4: the rest of the real estate that surrounds it. It's
- 23:03Speaker 4: going up, right, But that's what the people own, right,
- 23:06Speaker 4: the people in Queensbane projects, they're paying rent.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Well, the thing with that is that so it's it's
- 23:10Speaker 2: it's owned by the government. So it's interesting because so
- 23:16Speaker 2: in Brazil, right, and the favelas in Brazil, if anybody's
- 23:20Speaker 2: not familiar with that, that's like the slums of Brazil,
- 23:24Speaker 2: and the favelas were built on hills. Right. So in
- 23:29Speaker 2: Rio they have like Christ the Redeemer and they have
- 23:36Speaker 2: Epanima Beach.
- 23:38Speaker 3: So you got.
- 23:41Speaker 2: So long story short. Now they realize that those hills
- 23:46Speaker 2: where the favelas are are actually prime locations because it's
- 23:51Speaker 2: overlooking some of once again the most expensive real estate
- 23:55Speaker 2: in the world, right, Like it's overlooking Panima, it's overlooking
- 23:59Speaker 2: the beaches, is overlooking Christ of Redeemers. So now you
- 24:02Speaker 2: have a million, a million and a half people living
- 24:05Speaker 2: in slums in the hills who at the time they
- 24:07Speaker 2: probably built it saying that we're going to keep the
- 24:09Speaker 2: people in the hills away from you know, everybody else.
- 24:13Speaker 2: But now they realize that those hills are actually valuable.
- 24:16Speaker 2: So now they're trying to move people like five hours
- 24:18Speaker 2: away into different locations because now they want to build
- 24:22Speaker 2: luxury apartment buildings and hotels in the hills.
- 24:25Speaker 3: So this sounds like you're making a forecastle. What could happen?
- 24:28Speaker 2: Well, that's why, you know, we talk about every the
- 24:31Speaker 2: world is flat, right, so the same thing that what's
- 24:34Speaker 2: going on in Brazil is relevant in New York, what's
- 24:37Speaker 2: going on in Chicago is relevant in Africa. So it's so.
- 24:41Speaker 2: But it's interesting as far as, like I said, the
- 24:44Speaker 2: real estate play in that regard, because gentrification has a
- 24:50Speaker 2: lot of different complexities to it. But you know, that's
- 24:55Speaker 2: something that I don't think people fully understand how valuable.
- 25:00Speaker 2: It's interesting because some of the most expensive real estate
- 25:04Speaker 2: is where the poorest people live, and that was done
- 25:08Speaker 2: on purpose. So now they realized that, you know, they
- 25:12Speaker 2: made a mistake.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean the pluses that they're saying that
- 25:16Speaker 4: they'll bring twenty five thousand jobs.
- 25:18Speaker 3: I think it was.
- 25:19Speaker 4: The promise was fifty thousand jobs and twenty five in
- 25:22Speaker 4: the DC area, twenty five thousand come to the New
- 25:24Speaker 4: York area.
- 25:25Speaker 3: But the people in Queensbridge are like, that's great, but
- 25:29Speaker 3: are we It's.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Not just queensbridg either.
- 25:31Speaker 4: I'm just saying like, yeah, how do we do it?
- 25:33Speaker 4: So that thing is saying, hey, we'll provide drop training
- 25:37Speaker 4: and we'll.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Offer affordable housing.
- 25:39Speaker 4: But even affordable housing is subjectives, right, because what's affordable
- 25:44Speaker 4: to one may not be affordable to another family. Yeah right,
- 25:46Speaker 4: it's not income based housing, it's affordable housing.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Yeah. And like I said, New York is a perfect
- 25:52Speaker 2: example of that because not just like I said, not
- 25:54Speaker 2: just Queensbridge. You have a lot of different pockets where
- 25:59Speaker 2: it was prime location. Look at the Lower east Side, right,
- 26:01Speaker 2: if anybody familiar, that's the Lower east Side of Manhattan.
- 26:04Speaker 2: And at one point in time that was a very
- 26:07Speaker 2: bad neighborhood. Now it's changed because they realize how valuable
- 26:12Speaker 2: that real estate actually is. Right, That's that's the that's
- 26:15Speaker 2: the thing with gentrification. They realized now that that that
- 26:19Speaker 2: real estate is actually valuable, So everybody moved out the
- 26:23Speaker 2: neighborhoods got torn apart.
- 26:24Speaker 3: I think I said that right, Well, he's like, what
- 26:26Speaker 3: is our rolling?
- 26:27Speaker 2: Well, Ti, I was saying that we didn't value the
- 26:29Speaker 2: community enough to buy property when it was And that's
- 26:33Speaker 2: what even when Jay said, you know, I could have
- 26:35Speaker 2: brought a place in Dumbo for two million, he said
- 26:38Speaker 2: that same place now as worth twenty five million, kind
- 26:41Speaker 2: of feeling Dumbo. So you know, like I said, that's
- 26:44Speaker 2: a that's a conversation that we can go on and
- 26:47Speaker 2: on about. But it's interesting. And yeah, Amazon's definitely playing
- 26:52Speaker 2: a part in coming in and changing the face of
- 26:56Speaker 2: the community. We have to see whether it's going to
- 26:58Speaker 2: be for the better or for the worst. But only
- 27:01Speaker 2: time will tell.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Yeah, we will see, man, But I.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Want to go to something else. The Finity. A lot
- 27:06Speaker 2: of times we talk about male entrepreneurs, yeah, and you know,
- 27:11Speaker 2: business a lot of times like male driven. But we
- 27:15Speaker 2: are not male chauvinists. We appreciate women. We appreciate women entrepreneurs.
- 27:22Speaker 2: So I wanted to talk about the cosmetic industry, and
- 27:27Speaker 2: I thought, what better way to talk about the cosmetic
- 27:29Speaker 2: industry than to talk about, you know, two very successful
- 27:33Speaker 2: entrepreneurs on their own which is Rihanna and Kylie Jenner.
- 27:40Speaker 2: So you want to just go into that.
- 27:43Speaker 4: Yeah, So, I mean it's kind of awkward that they
- 27:48Speaker 4: when we talk about the two of them, it's usually
- 27:49Speaker 4: in a verse type of situation, right, like Rihanna verse Kylie.
- 27:53Speaker 3: But it really isn't like there's enough space.
- 27:55Speaker 4: And there's enough money for everybody everyone to be successful.
- 27:59Speaker 4: It's it's like we see that in our music, right.
- 28:01Speaker 4: We can't have two successful females like we have that.
- 28:03Speaker 2: And that's the thing too. Yeah, it's important to understand that,
- 28:07Speaker 2: whether it be race, like they can't be too top
- 28:12Speaker 2: black entrepreneurs or they can't be two women or whatever,
- 28:15Speaker 2: there's enough for everybody. So I don't really even like
- 28:19Speaker 2: the because somebody had commented the comparison, and I'm sure
- 28:23Speaker 2: it's done in good nature. Yeah, but we just want
- 28:26Speaker 2: to look at both of them, right, because they are
- 28:28Speaker 2: both very successful, right, and they're both two people that
- 28:33Speaker 2: we can learn from.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:34Speaker 4: So, Rihanna's company, her cosmetic company, Fancy Beauty, started in
- 28:39Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, did some amazing numbers. I think within the
- 28:42Speaker 4: first forty days they grossed one hundred million dollars as
- 28:45Speaker 4: a company. She had a line forty Foundations of forty
- 28:51Speaker 4: shades of Foundation, which was hugely popular. It celebrated diversity.
- 28:56Speaker 4: Mimen of all colors, shapes, and creeds could use it.
- 29:00Speaker 4: And what's interesting about Fency Beauty is that although it
- 29:03Speaker 4: hasn't made the most, I mean it did pretty well,
- 29:06Speaker 4: but it hasn't made the most, it's average customer spends
- 29:09Speaker 4: four hundred.
- 29:09Speaker 3: And seventy dollars a year on the cosmetics. Well.
- 29:11Speaker 2: The thing another interesting thing about fenty is that they're
- 29:15Speaker 2: not limited edition, right, So like you know, we talked
- 29:18Speaker 2: about that model, Like even if you look at Supreme
- 29:22Speaker 2: or like Kanye when his sneakers comes out a lot
- 29:25Speaker 2: of times in business, it's limited, right, which leads to
- 29:30Speaker 2: a higher demand which you can drive prices. But fenty
- 29:33Speaker 2: doesn't have. It's not their business model.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Yeah, and even with that, even though it's not limited,
- 29:37Speaker 4: it sells out, like if you go try to find.
- 29:39Speaker 3: It, but they replenished, replenished.
- 29:41Speaker 4: But the average person spends more money on their brand
- 29:43Speaker 4: than any other brand. So like even with like Kim
- 29:46Speaker 4: Kardashian West's line or Kylie's line, like, the average amount
- 29:50Speaker 4: of money spent per year is maybe one.
- 29:52Speaker 3: Hundred dollars less.
- 29:53Speaker 4: So that shows you that there's loyalty to this brand
- 29:55Speaker 4: and people are supporting it because the product must be good.
- 29:58Speaker 2: And they've done a good job with social media. So
- 30:00Speaker 2: there's a company called Cherry Picks and what they do
- 30:04Speaker 2: is they track online purchases based off of social media engagement.
- 30:08Speaker 2: So they have actually outpaced Kylie Cosmetic, which is Kylie
- 30:14Speaker 2: Jenner's company, towards the end I think the last quarter
- 30:17Speaker 2: of last year. So that's a big milestone for them
- 30:20Speaker 2: because they fairly knew they just started, so they actually
- 30:23Speaker 2: outpaced them in that department, so they've they've done a
- 30:27Speaker 2: good job. I mean, of course you have Brianna.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Yeah, and I like people are like, oh and obviously
- 30:31Speaker 4: we know her from being a great musical artist and
- 30:34Speaker 4: like a lot of people like Alan Wisdom new work,
- 30:36Speaker 4: and she's been focused on just getting her cosmetic line
- 30:39Speaker 4: off the ground.
- 30:41Speaker 3: She has the lingerie line that she did as well.
- 30:43Speaker 2: She has a lot of It's like we're talking about
- 30:44Speaker 2: George Clooney when he made he made two hundred and
- 30:46Speaker 2: seventy million off of the tequila company.
- 30:50Speaker 3: And then you saw it, right, we had seen that.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he made that off of tequila company, and like, well,
- 30:56Speaker 2: why is he not acting? Why do you think he's yea,
- 30:59Speaker 2: So the same thing with I mean, I'm sure she
- 31:01Speaker 2: loved for music. Yeah, but you got a chance to
- 31:04Speaker 2: be a Reilly cash out off this. It's like, Okay,
- 31:07Speaker 2: music is cool, but.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Touring is great.
- 31:09Speaker 2: This is this is different.
- 31:10Speaker 4: Yeah, and like I said, it's done extremely well. Twenty eighteen,
- 31:15Speaker 4: they reported five hundred and seventy three million in sales,
- 31:20Speaker 4: which is interesting when you look at it because when
- 31:22Speaker 4: they showed her net worth, Rihanna I think went from
- 31:25Speaker 4: like eighty million to two hundred and ten million dollars
- 31:28Speaker 4: because of her deal with Fancy Beauty.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Now, the interesting part about Fancy Beauty is not she doesn't.
- 31:34Speaker 4: Own one hundred percent of it, and that's something we've
- 31:36Speaker 4: been talking about a lot, Like on one hundred percent,
- 31:39Speaker 4: she olds a stake in it. The parent company is LVMH,
- 31:44Speaker 4: which is really Louis Vaton mot Hennessy, and they are
- 31:49Speaker 4: they're a luxury conglomerates, so like they combined, they see
- 31:53Speaker 4: value in something will put money behind it, so they
- 31:55Speaker 4: own they're the parent company, they own majority of the
- 31:58Speaker 4: stakes in it. Whereas Kylie kas medics completely different story. Right,
- 32:02Speaker 4: So when Travis is like big Mama color Forbes like
- 32:06Speaker 4: nine hundred million, like this is like this woman has
- 32:08Speaker 4: a chance to be the youngest billionaire in the history
- 32:11Speaker 4: self made billionaire in the history of the United States,
- 32:14Speaker 4: like within the next year.
- 32:15Speaker 3: I think she does it before twenty three.
- 32:17Speaker 2: So we can't discredit. We can't discredit College John. We're
- 32:21Speaker 2: not going to do that. It's been a lot of backlash, yeah,
- 32:25Speaker 2: on her, like she's not a self made because obviously
- 32:28Speaker 2: she comes from a wealthy family. And of course, but
- 32:30Speaker 2: how many wealthy children squandered their parents' gifts, right, So
- 32:35Speaker 2: you still have to have some self drive, some business acroman.
- 32:38Speaker 3: She has a better start, but it is still still
- 32:40Speaker 3: have to go somewhere.
- 32:42Speaker 4: So twenty fifteen, like she starts out with just the
- 32:44Speaker 4: lip kits, like that was her company she and that
- 32:47Speaker 4: was funded from I think, like she had a milent
- 32:49Speaker 4: deal and the TV show had just started, so she's
- 32:52Speaker 4: got money from that.
- 32:53Speaker 2: So she put she's leveraged her social media presence, she's
- 32:57Speaker 2: leveraged her family name, and I mean supposed to do that.
- 33:01Speaker 2: That's what she's supposed to do like.
- 33:02Speaker 4: She's getting paid a million for an ad, Like we
- 33:04Speaker 4: spoke about her sister a couple of weeks ago geting
- 33:06Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty for the ad.
- 33:08Speaker 3: She's charging a million per ad.
- 33:09Speaker 2: No, she's not. And she owns a company one.
- 33:12Speaker 4: Hundred percent so they did eight hundred million dollars in sales.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Like so if she owns one hundred percent of the company,
- 33:18Speaker 4: who she's paying, right, The only person that gets a
- 33:21Speaker 4: cut of that is a mom who's the manager. She
- 33:23Speaker 4: gets ten percent of you know, all the things that
- 33:25Speaker 4: she makes. So she does a billion, mom gets one
- 33:27Speaker 4: hundred million. But like you're twenty three with nine hundred millions.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing, No, No, it's it's definitely something to
- 33:36Speaker 2: marvel at. Yeah, and it's not easy to run a business,
- 33:40Speaker 2: especially a business that large, especially that young, right, because
- 33:44Speaker 2: there's a lot. I mean, you give somebody, you give
- 33:45Speaker 2: a twenty two year old ten million dollars, they might
- 33:50Speaker 2: just go crazy. They're not worrying about turning that ten
- 33:52Speaker 2: million into a billion right now, you know. So so yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 2: I think that both of them are success stories. But
- 33:58Speaker 2: I also wanted to talk about an the success story
- 34:00Speaker 2: that a lot of people may not have heard of
- 34:02Speaker 2: in the cosmetic industry. A woman named Pat McGrath.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Have you heard of her? So?
- 34:07Speaker 2: Pat McGrath is a UK citizen, She is a child
- 34:13Speaker 2: of Jamaican immigrants, and she's a celebrity makeup artist. So
- 34:17Speaker 2: the interesting thing about her is that she's been celebrity
- 34:20Speaker 2: makeup artist for years now, and she started her makeup
- 34:24Speaker 2: line two years ago and it actually reached a billion
- 34:29Speaker 2: dollar valuation last year. So the valuation on paper is
- 34:33Speaker 2: actually worth more than Kylie Jenner's company. That's something that
- 34:38Speaker 2: to applaud as well, because she's not a celebrity, she's
- 34:43Speaker 2: not famous. She comes from humble beginnings and you know
- 34:48Speaker 2: she yeah, her cosmetic company is now valued over a
- 34:53Speaker 2: billion dollars and like I said, not even to compare
- 34:55Speaker 2: it to Kylie, but since Kylie's in the news, you know,
- 34:57Speaker 2: we have to use that as framework. But it's actually
- 35:00Speaker 2: on paperworth more than colleague generous company. So that's something
- 35:04Speaker 2: to keep in mind as well, because you know, we
- 35:05Speaker 2: do talk about sports entertainment a lot because it's kind
- 35:08Speaker 2: of the theme of the show, but we want to
- 35:10Speaker 2: highlight you know, regular every day entrepreneurs as well. People
- 35:14Speaker 2: that don't come from you know, sports, entertainment, celebrity backgrounds,
- 35:19Speaker 2: and you know, I think that's important as well because
- 35:21Speaker 2: it encourages anybody to you know, say, you know, if
- 35:25Speaker 2: you if you follow your dreams, then you can do
- 35:29Speaker 2: this as well. So cosmetic industry huge, huge, and it
- 35:32Speaker 2: has been a huge industry for forever and it probably
- 35:36Speaker 2: will will always be a huge industry. So there's always
- 35:39Speaker 2: money to be made in cosmetics, in beauty, and we
- 35:42Speaker 2: do not have to pin ourselves against each other. There's
- 35:45Speaker 2: enough for everybody.
- 35:47Speaker 4: And speaking on the topic of entrepreneurs that was like
- 35:51Speaker 4: one of the questions and a lot of feedback people
- 35:53Speaker 4: on the nose, like what does it take to be
- 35:54Speaker 4: an entreneur? How what what is that like? And you
- 35:58Speaker 4: want to touch on that, I.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Mean you are, yeah yourself.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Yeah, briefly, we'll end it. We'll end it with this. So, yeah,
- 36:05Speaker 2: entrepreneurship is something that is not for the faint of heart,
- 36:10Speaker 2: and it's not it's not easy. A lot of times,
- 36:12Speaker 2: you know, it's glamorized. We see it's becoming very trendy now,
- 36:15Speaker 2: it's very popular and it's a good thing that you know,
- 36:17Speaker 2: more people are encouraging to go out there and create
- 36:20Speaker 2: a business, but I wanted to just talk. You know,
- 36:22Speaker 2: a lot of times we have to show both sides
- 36:25Speaker 2: of the coin. And you know, think about being an
- 36:27Speaker 2: entrepreneur is that it's something that financially there's there's no guarantees, right,
- 36:32Speaker 2: Like you you have the same bills every single month,
- 36:34Speaker 2: but cash flow is not the same every month.
- 36:37Speaker 3: You don't know, you don't move your feet, you don't eat.
- 36:39Speaker 2: And not even that. Sometimes it's not even up to
- 36:41Speaker 2: you know, you can do everything right and still not
- 36:43Speaker 2: get paid. Things just fall through, right, So it's like
- 36:45Speaker 2: you might go two three months without getting paid. Your
- 36:48Speaker 2: rent has still get paid, your mortgage will have to
- 36:50Speaker 2: get paid, your kids got to still eat, So that
- 36:53Speaker 2: pressure is different, and it can be lonely. You know
- 36:57Speaker 2: a lot of times people don't fully understand. Like if
- 36:59Speaker 2: you work at it a workspace, you know, you have
- 37:02Speaker 2: coworkers and things of that nature, so that provides a
- 37:07Speaker 2: certain level of social engagement and interaction. But when you're
- 37:11Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, a lot of times you're by yourself, and
- 37:14Speaker 2: you're by yourself all day trying to figure things out.
- 37:16Speaker 2: So you know, it is rewarding because you know, you
- 37:21Speaker 2: do have freedom and it can be financially rewarding as well.
- 37:25Speaker 2: But it's just important, I think, to keep the mind
- 37:27Speaker 2: people like you said, ask the question, like what's the
- 37:29Speaker 2: first steps? How do you get started? De really is
- 37:31Speaker 2: no first steps of blueprint. You just got to go
- 37:32Speaker 2: out there and figure it out, right. I mean, of
- 37:34Speaker 2: course you want to set up your LLC, set up
- 37:35Speaker 2: your company, do your market research, see you know, have
- 37:40Speaker 2: a mentor have a couple of mentors. But ultimately you're
- 37:44Speaker 2: gonna have to just jump out the airplane and just
- 37:46Speaker 2: kind of figure it out on your own because there
- 37:48Speaker 2: is no no set science to it. There's no roadmap
- 37:52Speaker 2: or no book that you can actually read that's going
- 37:55Speaker 2: to give you the real world experience. Only real world
- 37:58Speaker 2: experience is going to give that to you. So yeah,
- 38:00Speaker 2: I just wanted to touch on that for a couple
- 38:02Speaker 2: of minutes. But that is where at the end time flies.
- 38:07Speaker 2: You want to have a final word before we Yeah.
- 38:09Speaker 4: I just want to say just that honesty that you
- 38:11Speaker 4: just shared. Man, Like I watched you go through that process,
- 38:13Speaker 4: so like everything is saying is one hundred percent honestly,
- 38:15Speaker 4: and you were completely transparent about it. And networking is
- 38:18Speaker 4: one of the things you did. And one of the
- 38:20Speaker 4: things when I was listening to you was like that
- 38:22Speaker 4: was so important. I remember when you started. I was like, Yo,
- 38:25Speaker 4: I don't care what you're doing. I'm your first client.
- 38:27Speaker 4: And like that's been true. And that network that we
- 38:30Speaker 4: have is like important, and it's time for us as
- 38:34Speaker 4: a community to like start sharing it, right, Like Pac said,
- 38:38Speaker 4: like I got love for my brother, but we can
- 38:40Speaker 4: never go nowhere.
