3:44
Speaker 3: He's gonna be mumbling all night. But we're gonna get
3:47
Speaker 3: into the latest. With the first topic. Lately, Tyra Banks
3:51
Speaker 3: has been in the news. So I saw this headline,
3:53
Speaker 3: I was like, it's no way. They had to misquote
3:55
Speaker 3: my girl. They had to misquote my girl because there
3:58
Speaker 3: is no way that Tyra Banks got on Beyonce's Internet
4:02
Speaker 3: or Beyonce's wherever. This show stream a TV show she
4:06
Speaker 3: was talking to Jenna Bush for. She was talking to
4:10
Speaker 3: Jenna Bush on Today with Jenna and Friends. Now on
4:13
Speaker 3: this show, Tyra Banks was guest hosting. This week, Tyra
4:17
Speaker 3: Banks and Jenna start having a conversation about remaking The
4:20
Speaker 3: Bodyguard because recently it was announced that The Bodyguard is
4:24
Speaker 3: going to be remade. It'll come from Warner Brothers, so
4:27
Speaker 3: it's gonna be like the whole thing now. I'm not
4:30
Speaker 3: even gonna hold y'all. When I saw the original headline
4:34
Speaker 3: just of the movie being remade, I was like, we
4:37
Speaker 3: don't need this, And I've never felt like that, Like
4:39
Speaker 3: I've always been one to kind of feel like, Okay,
4:43
Speaker 3: if they want to remake it, I'm down to see
4:45
Speaker 3: what the new version could be. But honestly, I'm more
4:47
Speaker 3: of like, let's continue the story, but you can't continue
4:50
Speaker 3: the story Whitney Houston is not here, so of course
4:52
Speaker 3: this would have to be a remake. So for those
4:54
Speaker 3: of you guys who do not know have not seen
4:56
Speaker 3: the movie, and if you have not or do not know,
5:00
Speaker 3: I be with you made it forced be with you
5:01
Speaker 3: because I don't know where you've been at. But The
5:03
Speaker 3: Bodyguard centers on a former secret service agent who is
5:06
Speaker 3: played by Kevin Costner, who is hired to protect a celebrity,
5:09
Speaker 3: Whitney Houston.
5:10
Speaker 4: From a stalker. Now during this time when they're doing
5:14
Speaker 4: little dance.
5:14
Speaker 3: Back and forth, when you know Whitney Houston is at
5:17
Speaker 3: the height of her career in this movie, they fall
5:19
Speaker 3: in love and it is a very like it's like
5:23
Speaker 3: a super like romantic like super Oh my god, he
5:27
Speaker 3: came and he saved me.
5:28
Speaker 4: But it's a big movie film. Whitney Houston in this film.
5:32
Speaker 3: For me watching her singing this movie, you can talk
5:35
Speaker 3: to me about a movie soundtrack after this, because it
5:37
Speaker 3: wasn't just songs are placed in you know the cute
5:41
Speaker 3: actress who was also a singer is gonna sing it.
5:43
Speaker 4: It was Whitney Houston during this film.
5:46
Speaker 3: She actually landed two OSCAR nominations, and it featured Whitney
5:51
Speaker 3: Houston's a cover of Dolly Partons I Will Always Love You,
5:54
Speaker 3: which I'm gotta say nothing else. If you don't know
5:56
Speaker 3: about the movie The Bodyguard. If you don't know about
5:58
Speaker 3: nothing else, I don't have to say anything I don't.
6:00
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have to describe background on I will always
6:02
Speaker 3: love you. If I have to do that, this really
6:05
Speaker 3: might not be the place for you. Okay, so come
6:07
Speaker 3: back next week. But in saying all of that, and
6:10
Speaker 3: the reason why I say that is because Tyra Banks
6:12
Speaker 3: is having this conversation with Jenna Bush for Jenna and Friends.
6:15
Speaker 3: And you know, sometimes I think we get on these platforms.
6:18
Speaker 3: When I say we, I mean us, the colors, us people.
6:22
Speaker 3: We get on these platforms, and some of the things
6:24
Speaker 3: we say, I don't know if we don't understand, Like
6:26
Speaker 3: it's not even a responsibility thing. It's just like a girl,
6:29
Speaker 3: ain't know where you would have said that if one
6:31
Speaker 3: of us was sitting right there next to you, because
6:32
Speaker 3: what are you even talking about? Tyra Banks gets on
6:34
Speaker 3: this platform and they're talking about the remake, and they're
6:36
Speaker 3: talking about the casting because you need a very strong
6:41
Speaker 3: woman singer, actor person to lead Whitney Houston Kevin Castle
6:47
Speaker 3: like their romance and the dance that they did throughout
6:50
Speaker 3: this film was it was so effortless. The feeling you
6:54
Speaker 3: felt with all of that soul and all that music
6:56
Speaker 3: and all those notes coupled with this great story and
6:59
Speaker 3: it's amazing acting. And y'all know what Tyler Banks did.
7:03
Speaker 3: Tyra Banks got on this platform and she said, I
7:05
Speaker 3: think it'd be Taylor Swift because of the business and
7:08
Speaker 3: commerce art. She would freaking sell like crazy. But okay,
7:12
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be real. I'm a black girl. And
7:15
Speaker 3: it was Whitney Houston as a black girl, Kevin Costner
7:17
Speaker 3: as a white man. What if we flipped it and
7:20
Speaker 3: it was Taylor Swift and Idris Elba hot.
7:27
Speaker 4: I don't understand, Tyra. We were all rooting for you.
7:32
Speaker 3: There's no way that she believes that in her heart
7:34
Speaker 3: to hearts, I know that, you know, Tyra's been in
7:37
Speaker 3: his business for some time. She knows you know what
7:39
Speaker 3: to do and what to say and how to maneuver
7:41
Speaker 3: to get the people going and pick up the headlines.
7:43
Speaker 3: But there's no way. I don't know about y'all, but
7:45
Speaker 3: I don't want to see Taylor Swift nowhere near the
7:47
Speaker 3: Bodyguard remake at all. It's not for me, not at all.
7:53
Speaker 3: I do not want the kids bought version of the bodyguard.
7:56
Speaker 3: I don't think that Taylor Swift is bad at what
7:59
Speaker 3: she does. I think Teyler Swift is a powerhouse. She's
8:01
Speaker 3: Teller Swift. She does it amazingly well. Lead a bodyguard alone.
8:06
Speaker 3: Don't let this give you no ideas, because I've seen
8:09
Speaker 3: the headlines picking up. Don't do it now. I do
8:13
Speaker 3: know that here maybe she was just trying to play
8:15
Speaker 3: into this. One of the directors, his name is Sam Ritch,
8:19
Speaker 3: So Sam Ritch. He's a director that also directed a
8:23
Speaker 3: lot of things on Taylor Swift's Aras tour. Now, I
8:26
Speaker 3: know that the Aras tour was like a huge tour.
8:28
Speaker 3: They did the whole film that also hit theaters and
8:30
Speaker 3: it's whole like crazy. And I'm again I'm not taking
8:33
Speaker 3: away from Taylorswift, but soever, I think she's really talented.
8:36
Speaker 3: And y'all know, if y'all listen to me on a
8:37
Speaker 3: breakfast club, I'm not a Tellerswift fan. I am not
8:39
Speaker 3: a swiftye. I only know like shake it off, to
8:41
Speaker 3: be honest with you, But I know she's talented and
8:44
Speaker 3: I understand what she's doing, and I respect the powerhouse
8:47
Speaker 3: and Tyra Bank as a black girl.
8:49
Speaker 4: I'm so confused how you.
8:50
Speaker 3: Could even like knowing what witt in Houston was in
8:54
Speaker 3: that role for us and knowing just kind of like
8:57
Speaker 3: the feeling like I'm literally having a feeling right now
9:00
Speaker 3: thinking about that movie like that is how that movie
9:02
Speaker 3: makes you feel.
9:04
Speaker 4: It won't happen with Taylor Swift.
9:06
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen it, Tyra Banks, but
9:09
Speaker 3: please go watch Taylor Swift swag surf at the Chiefs
9:12
Speaker 3: Game and Nat will tell you right there why she
9:15
Speaker 3: should not be doing this movie as a black girl.
9:17
Speaker 3: I am signing off because I can't even believe that
9:19
Speaker 3: we just had to even talked about that. Now, next
9:23
Speaker 3: up in the latest our next topic. This conversation actually
9:27
Speaker 3: has been going on for some time. But Pinky from
9:30
Speaker 3: Slutdy Vegan. So, for those of you guys who are
9:31
Speaker 3: not familiar, there's a business called Slutdy Vegan is a
9:35
Speaker 3: huge business that the brand has grown into one hundred
9:38
Speaker 3: million dollar brand is owned by a black woman named
9:41
Speaker 3: Pinky Cole who is from Baltimore, but she has been
9:43
Speaker 3: living and based in Atlanta for years now. They have
9:47
Speaker 3: fourteen locations. She's everywhere. She's in Georgia, she's in New York.
9:52
Speaker 3: She's a ton of places.
9:54
Speaker 4: Now.
9:54
Speaker 3: This brand, I feel like, has become definitely a huge
9:58
Speaker 3: trend on social media. A lot of people I know
10:01
Speaker 3: flight into Georgia, into Atlanta, and when they go, there's
10:05
Speaker 3: a huge tourist attraction. Even if you're not vegan, you
10:07
Speaker 3: want to try some slutty Vegan's food because it is
10:10
Speaker 3: so trendy, because it is the thing that I just
10:12
Speaker 3: everybody's doing. Everybody's talking about it now. For the last
10:14
Speaker 3: couple of months. I didn't even notice this until she
10:16
Speaker 3: said it. She sat down or earned your Leisure and
10:18
Speaker 3: she talked about, you know, being off the grid for
10:20
Speaker 3: the last couple of months, and she talked about the
10:22
Speaker 3: fact that she had lost her business. She had had
10:26
Speaker 3: to sell her business so that her business could be restructured,
10:29
Speaker 3: and then she had to buy it back. Now when
10:32
Speaker 3: she posted this video first announcing that she lost the
10:35
Speaker 3: business and brought it back, she posted it on April
10:37
Speaker 3: Fool's Day, I will say I have not seen a
10:40
Speaker 3: slutty Vegan ad. I had not seen her on Instagram.
10:44
Speaker 3: I had not anything interact interaction wise was sludy Vegan
10:47
Speaker 3: in a while. But when she posted this video, it
10:49
Speaker 3: did what it needed to do because I stopped and
10:51
Speaker 3: I watched it, and she was talking about the fact
10:53
Speaker 3: that she had lost her business had to get it back.
10:56
Speaker 3: But more importantly, she began to go into the real
10:59
Speaker 3: struggles that she had been facing as a business owner.
11:03
Speaker 3: And that got me. That really got me because for me,
11:07
Speaker 3: I think, you know, all of this is real fly
11:09
Speaker 3: and it's real cute, and I love being here with y'all,
11:12
Speaker 3: but business on a back end and understanding that that
11:16
Speaker 3: is one of the things for me that as an entertainer,
11:20
Speaker 3: as a producer, production company owner.
11:23
Speaker 4: You know, we do clothing, we do a lot of things.
11:25
Speaker 3: I am always trying to like learn, and as you grow,
11:29
Speaker 3: there's so much more for you to learn and so
11:31
Speaker 3: much more for you to like keep afloat. So to
11:33
Speaker 3: see a black woman whose business I know has been
11:37
Speaker 3: making money for some years get on here and tell me, like, yo,
11:40
Speaker 3: I messed up, I'm like, first of all, it's bold
11:42
Speaker 3: as hell for her to admit that loudly, But secondly,
11:46
Speaker 3: I want to know what happened because I might mess
11:48
Speaker 3: up too, and I need to know what's going on.
11:50
Speaker 3: And that's all this interview was about. So Pinky from
11:53
Speaker 3: Sludy Vegan. In this Earned Your Leisure interview, she talked
11:57
Speaker 3: about at one point being so focused on being the
12:00
Speaker 3: face of her business the mask got of her business
12:03
Speaker 3: to get out, kiss the babies, you see me everywhere
12:05
Speaker 3: of her business, that the back end was not strong.
12:09
Speaker 3: Being the face is a whole job. But running a
12:13
Speaker 3: business is not like a kumbaya. Lets just goes in.
12:16
Speaker 3: I do yoga all day. Oh I'm cute. It's like
12:19
Speaker 3: real work. I tell people all the time. Like when
12:23
Speaker 3: people are like, oh my god, I want to quit
12:25
Speaker 3: my job and be an entrepreneur.
12:27
Speaker 4: Why and what's your why? First of all? And what
12:31
Speaker 4: have you learned from that job that you're about to lead?
12:33
Speaker 3: Because when I tell you, going to every inch of
12:36
Speaker 3: project management, organization, delegation skills, everything in your life is
12:44
Speaker 3: going to depend on that. Being an entrepreneur is harder
12:48
Speaker 3: than working a job for somebody. I don't care what
12:50
Speaker 3: nobody's saying. Y'all disagree with me. If y'all want to
12:52
Speaker 3: tweet me at Laura la Rosa, you know, post on Instagram,
12:56
Speaker 3: let's talk about it. Because being an entrepreneur and having
12:59
Speaker 3: a figure all of this out on a fly and
13:03
Speaker 3: you know, figure out finances when you do it, and
13:05
Speaker 3: like the right people, and like she said, bringing the
13:07
Speaker 3: right people along and along the way you find out
13:10
Speaker 3: the right people that you thought was right people not
13:11
Speaker 3: the right people.
13:12
Speaker 4: Like it is not the easiest thing. When you go
13:14
Speaker 4: to a job, you go to work. You go to work.
13:18
Speaker 3: You get along with who you have to because they're
13:19
Speaker 3: gonna be there every single day, regardless if you do
13:21
Speaker 3: or you don't.
13:22
Speaker 4: You don't know a lot about overheads.
13:24
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you managing a cute little budget, but outside
13:27
Speaker 3: of that budget, you don't know nothing else. Use know
13:29
Speaker 3: the money that was giving to you, you don't know
13:30
Speaker 3: how it got there. You don't know where it's coming from,
13:32
Speaker 3: the next quarter, the next turn. Like none of that.
13:34
Speaker 4: You go, you do what you do, and you go home.
13:37
Speaker 3: When things mess up, it might internally be on you,
13:40
Speaker 3: but in the public it's on that business. When you
13:42
Speaker 3: become an entrepreneur, all of that flips sometimes. It is
13:46
Speaker 3: the most nerve wracking thing ever to be the face
13:50
Speaker 3: of anything. And on top of it, you got the
13:53
Speaker 3: business on the back end. So when she's saying, you know,
13:57
Speaker 3: it's like a marriage. When you do you bring in partners.
13:59
Speaker 3: I feel like even about team members, people talk about
14:02
Speaker 3: marriage in a way of like, okay, like I don't
14:04
Speaker 3: know about y'all, but I don't believe in divorce. I
14:06
Speaker 3: feel like, if we together, we're gonna figure this out.
14:09
Speaker 3: We're gonna work through what we need to work through,
14:10
Speaker 3: because I am very confident in myself that the person
14:13
Speaker 3: that I choose to marry is going to be of
14:15
Speaker 3: quality and of you know, just that cloth of like,
14:18
Speaker 3: we're gonna grow together, it's going to make sense. We'll
14:20
Speaker 3: get to where we need to get to. It's not
14:21
Speaker 3: gonna be perfect at the time, but we'll get there.
14:23
Speaker 3: Those are the type of things and the type of
14:25
Speaker 3: people that I look for in business. Can we grow together?
14:28
Speaker 3: Are you willing to be taught? Are you teachable? Do
14:30
Speaker 3: you want to learn?
14:31
Speaker 4: What do you bring the table? Are you teaching me?
14:33
Speaker 4: Can you level things up? Can you hit the ground running?
14:36
Speaker 3: But one of the biggest things that I heard her
14:38
Speaker 3: say was there was a level of like ego and shame.
14:41
Speaker 4: She was trying so hard.
14:42
Speaker 3: She's swim and swim and swim and swim and swimming,
14:44
Speaker 3: and eventually she starts drowning, and she don't want to
14:46
Speaker 3: admit it to nobody. So she's doing everything she can
14:49
Speaker 3: to save this business, y'all, and it's not working. It's
14:54
Speaker 3: not working. And that was a like It's been so
14:57
Speaker 3: many different times where like, I've been so prideful that like,
15:01
Speaker 3: you get to a point where you waste the money,
15:03
Speaker 3: you wasted time, you ain't getting no sleep for real,
15:06
Speaker 3: and if there's so much that you have to learn
15:08
Speaker 3: from this. One of the smartest things I heard her
15:12
Speaker 3: say on here was that her and her husband, her
15:14
Speaker 3: husband is named Deir Kay's. He has a cheese steak
15:18
Speaker 3: restaurant and like they it's like a fleet of trucks
15:20
Speaker 3: and different things in Atlanta. And one of the things
15:23
Speaker 3: that she said was they're creating Hayes Hospitality Group.
15:27
Speaker 4: Now.
15:27
Speaker 3: In this Hospitality group, their plan is to bring together
15:30
Speaker 3: a bunch of different business owners within the same conglomerates
15:34
Speaker 3: that they are that they're involved in, and use each
15:37
Speaker 3: other's resources. So you know, we all go in on
15:40
Speaker 3: certain things, we all put up money for certain things.
15:42
Speaker 3: That's making overhead cheaper, that's making it where eventually Hayes
15:47
Speaker 3: Hospitality will have all.
15:48
Speaker 4: Of these resources so other business.
15:50
Speaker 3: Can come to them and grow and y'all, y'all when
15:54
Speaker 3: I say, we as black people get in our own
15:57
Speaker 3: way so much about us growing. What she's talking about
16:01
Speaker 3: doing is exactly what LVMH does for Offenite, what a
16:05
Speaker 3: lot of these like labelers do for these brands when
16:09
Speaker 3: they when they level them up, they give them the resources,
16:11
Speaker 3: They connect them with other brands, They give them money
16:14
Speaker 3: and backing and just a home to deconstruct the business,
16:18
Speaker 3: build it back up again and up it up it
16:20
Speaker 3: from level one to like five. We don't have a lot.
16:24
Speaker 3: We don't even have a lot of that. We don't
16:25
Speaker 3: not that I know, we don't have that at all.
16:27
Speaker 3: So when a jay Z goes and he sells a
16:29
Speaker 3: title or you know these hair brands that y'all get
16:32
Speaker 3: mad at when they sell part of the company and
16:34
Speaker 3: things of that nature because they want to level up,
16:36
Speaker 3: and you guys get upset about it. The reason why
16:38
Speaker 3: they do this is because they need these resources. Like
16:40
Speaker 3: what she's talking about creating is amazing and they need it.
16:43
Speaker 3: They need it to sustain everything. About what she's saying,
16:48
Speaker 3: if pulled off, well, she already brought the business back.
16:51
Speaker 3: But hey, Hospitality Group, it pulled off, well, this committing answer.
16:54
Speaker 3: There's so many people's problems, especially that capitalism conversation, because
16:59
Speaker 3: I remember.
17:01
Speaker 4: I forget what jay Z was doing.
17:03
Speaker 3: It's always jay Z, though y'all love giving jay Z
17:05
Speaker 3: shit about being a capitalist, and it's nothing wrong with capitalism.
17:10
Speaker 3: The issue with capitalism is that we don't all have
17:13
Speaker 3: a hand in it, and I get that. I feel
17:15
Speaker 3: like anything that's very scarce to a certain group of
17:18
Speaker 3: people always looks like something bad.
17:19
Speaker 4: Whether you're black, white, red, yellow, I get it.
17:23
Speaker 3: But there's nothing wrong with taking something that you made,
17:26
Speaker 3: that you created, putting money, resources and support around it,
17:30
Speaker 3: and making it bigger.
17:31
Speaker 4: That's what you're supposed to do.
17:33
Speaker 3: Like literally, there's no point in running around being a face,
17:36
Speaker 3: kissing the babies and doing all this. I'm not only
17:37
Speaker 3: here yelling at y'all about this for no reason because
17:39
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do my own solf. You'll call me what
17:41
Speaker 3: y'all want to call me, but I've been calling everything
17:43
Speaker 3: under the sum. But I'm trying to tell y'all when
17:45
Speaker 3: I get to a certain point of business, when y'all
17:46
Speaker 3: start calling me a sellout and a capitalist chef's kiss,
17:52
Speaker 3: but I appreciate what she's doing so, make sure y'all
17:53
Speaker 3: go and check out the unger Leisure sit down Pinky Cole.
17:56
Speaker 4: I thought that it was so informative.

20:43
Speaker 3: We talked about Pinky coal and just you know, building
20:46
Speaker 3: business and being so emotionally tied to a business that
20:50
Speaker 3: you don't even want to admit when you messing up.
20:52

20:54
Speaker 4: give you game.
20:55
Speaker 3: But like the way he summarizes life is just so
20:57
Speaker 3: eloquent and so beautiful even though it's not. He set
20:59
Speaker 3: a curse words and yet at us and everything. But
21:02
Speaker 3: what he's saying is that you cannot there's the emotion
21:05
Speaker 3: of things, the look of things. It can't overpower realistically,
21:08
