- 1:38Speaker 3: I think the best thing to do is to have
- 1:40Speaker 3: a goal, right, like buying a house. To me, I'm
- 1:43Speaker 3: living in this house and it's a two family house,
- 1:45Speaker 3: so that pays half my mortgage, you know, and my
- 1:48Speaker 3: mortgage is less than what my rent would be for
- 1:50Speaker 3: something this sides three bedrooms, you know, two and a
- 1:54Speaker 3: half bathrooms, a full backyard brownstone. And so I think
- 1:58Speaker 3: what you have to do is of what a smart
- 2:00Speaker 3: investment is to you. And if you're living here, you
- 2:04Speaker 3: would have been paying rent somewhere else, and so to me,
- 2:08Speaker 3: that's money you would have been spending anyway. And so
- 2:10Speaker 3: the two family house or a three family house, if
- 2:12Speaker 3: I would have had a three family house. It would
- 2:14Speaker 3: have probably paid the home mortgage. It was just coming
- 2:16Speaker 3: up with that down payment. And so that's why I'm
- 2:19Speaker 3: a big fan of having a goal of financially Every month,
- 2:23Speaker 3: I have a goal of how much I want in
- 2:24Speaker 3: my account for the next move I'm about to make,
- 2:26Speaker 3: so I go really hard to reach it. And I've
- 2:28Speaker 3: been doing really good at that, and so it helps me.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Not because I used to be such a spend I
- 2:34Speaker 3: used to love to shop, like I would be at
- 2:36Speaker 3: the mall literally every week, you know, what can I buy?
- 2:38Speaker 3: What can I get? But when you have goals like
- 2:40Speaker 3: that makes you realize how unimportant that can be, and
- 2:43Speaker 3: not that you can't treat yourself, but it'll be like, Okay,
- 2:47Speaker 3: I've hit this goal, I made this money. I have
- 2:49Speaker 3: an extra fifteen hundred dollars. What am I going to
- 2:51Speaker 3: do with it? You know, let me do something nice
- 2:53Speaker 3: for myself. But I really do things like I'm really
- 2:56Speaker 3: big on using points. I use my MX cars for
- 2:59Speaker 3: every thing, and like, even i have a new house
- 3:02Speaker 3: in Brooklyn that I'm renovating, I'm putting everything on my
- 3:06Speaker 3: MX card so I can get those points and then
- 3:08Speaker 3: I'll be buying furniture with the points that I got
- 3:10Speaker 3: from using my MX card. You know, when I travel,
- 3:13Speaker 3: I always fly on Delta because I have so many
- 3:16Speaker 3: free flights now that I can use, and I get
- 3:18Speaker 3: upgraded all the time because of my status on there.
- 3:21Speaker 3: So I just try to do things that I know
- 3:23Speaker 3: makes sense for me.
- 3:25Speaker 4: That's something that's extremely important. Shout out to him five
- 3:27Speaker 4: hundreds wise mental style. He has like and all this stuff,
- 3:31Speaker 4: but he was like, he's not buying all this design
- 3:34Speaker 4: and stuff. He spends one hundred thousand dollars a month
- 3:35Speaker 4: on Facebook ads and on his AX cards and he
- 3:38Speaker 4: gets like seven thousand dollars reward points back, So I
- 3:41Speaker 4: seven thousand dollars reward points. He just goes to Nemen
- 3:44Speaker 4: markets and just goes crazy.
- 3:46Speaker 3: I got my parents lily bag and my first Inel
- 3:48Speaker 3: bag with points on my MX card.
- 3:52Speaker 4: As though that's a gym Andy, so well it is that. Well,
- 3:56Speaker 4: we got to save that one in That's another that's
- 4:00Speaker 4: but Angela, that's something that's extremely important as far as
- 4:03Speaker 4: house hacking. I don't want people to breeze over that.
- 4:05Speaker 4: Because shout out to empty the mortgage guy. We talked
- 4:08Speaker 4: to him and he always talks about house hacking. House
- 4:10Speaker 4: hacking is like when you live like what she's doing.
- 4:12Speaker 4: She's a two family home. You live on one unit,
- 4:16Speaker 4: you you rent out the other unit, or three family
- 4:17Speaker 4: or four family whatever. So I think it says a
- 4:20Speaker 4: lot when somebody she's famous and she's humble enough to
- 4:25Speaker 4: living in a two family home renting out the other
- 4:28Speaker 4: part because she understands that it makes economic sense. A
- 4:31Speaker 4: lot of us, like some people are struggling day to
- 4:34Speaker 4: day and they got too much prizel like what I'm saying.
- 4:38Speaker 4: So it's like, I don't want that to get missed
- 4:41Speaker 4: in this conversation. Let let alone.
- 4:42Speaker 1: You couldn't walk in the property before she had it.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I even see it. That's that's a lot to
- 4:49Speaker 4: think about. People think about it. Like I said, she's
- 4:51Speaker 4: not she has to do that, but she understands the
- 4:53Speaker 4: importance of it. And it's like why not.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Can can we talk about balance? Me with Shall we
- 4:58Speaker 1: go back and forth all the time about balance? He
- 5:00Speaker 1: likes to have life unbalanced, just how he operates. I
- 5:03Speaker 1: like to have balance. I'm listening to you. You're waking
- 5:04Speaker 1: up at four am. Most people can't do that. That's dedication, right,
- 5:08Speaker 1: your Hall of Fame radio career. Right, you have the
- 5:10Speaker 1: real estate portfolio, you got the juice bars. You just said,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you got the coffee shop. People forget that you actually
- 5:15Speaker 1: have a very successful podcast, right lip service. By the way,
- 5:18Speaker 1: we came to your live show.
- 5:20Speaker 4: We did come to thank you. Great show.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Davies was there, eighty five sour all brothers were there.
- 5:29Speaker 1: What does balance look like for you? Oh?
- 5:33Speaker 3: And the last thing I want to say is I
- 5:34Speaker 3: did open a store in Detroit, also a hair store,
- 5:36Speaker 3: a private label, and I can't forget that. I just
- 5:38Speaker 3: opened it in January.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And go support it.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not thank you, It's not eighty mile and
- 5:46Speaker 3: the Quinn there, baby, come see us.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Heavy in Detroit.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, how do you manage this all?
- 5:54Speaker 3: So balance for me is like leg I've been working
- 5:57Speaker 3: all day today. I know I have things that I
- 5:58Speaker 3: have to do. But what I try to do is
- 6:00Speaker 3: I always try to have one day out of the
- 6:02Speaker 3: week during the week that I don't have a lot
- 6:04Speaker 3: to do. So on that one day, I might have
- 6:06Speaker 3: like a couple of really light things and that's when
- 6:08Speaker 3: I handle stuff I need to handle for myself. And
- 6:10Speaker 3: then on the weekend, I try to make sure one
- 6:12Speaker 3: of those two days is not super busy for me,
- 6:15Speaker 3: also because it is important to take a break. Like
- 6:17Speaker 3: I try to make sure I get enough sleep. If
- 6:19Speaker 3: I know I've been up working, I make sure, like
- 6:21Speaker 3: I'm going to bed at nine o'clock on you know,
- 6:23Speaker 3: Thursday night, because I plan it, like I plan everything.
- 6:26Speaker 3: My schedule is just super rigid and organized, like down
- 6:30Speaker 3: to the minute, and so you know, that's it. And
- 6:33Speaker 3: then a lot of times I try to mix business
- 6:34Speaker 3: with pleasure as far as if I know I had
- 6:37Speaker 3: some things to do, and you know, before there was
- 6:39Speaker 3: a pandemic, but if I know I had somewhere to be,
- 6:41Speaker 3: I'll invite some of my friends to come with me,
- 6:43Speaker 3: cause I know they'll have a good time. For me,
- 6:45Speaker 3: it might be work, but for a lot of them
- 6:47Speaker 3: it's fun. And so that makes work fun for me
- 6:49Speaker 3: when I have people that are fun around me.
- 6:54Speaker 4: There you have it.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It sounds like off.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Runt, you're trying to achieve over the next five years,
- 7:02Speaker 5: and how can we help? You said, what what's the
- 7:04Speaker 5: biggest goal you're trying to achieve over the last five years,
- 7:07Speaker 5: and how can we help?
- 7:09Speaker 3: So my biggest goal is for these businesses that I started,
- 7:12Speaker 3: I want them to be right now. I'm in an
- 7:14Speaker 3: investment stage of everything, I feel like, you know, except
- 7:17Speaker 3: for the juice bar, which has been open for a
- 7:19Speaker 3: few years now, but like with the hair store, I
- 7:22Speaker 3: need that to you know, start making money. And I
- 7:26Speaker 3: mean it makes money now, but I need to get
- 7:27Speaker 3: the return on my investment for the coffee company. The
- 7:30Speaker 3: goal for the coffee company is for me to be
- 7:32Speaker 3: able to be in stores, and I have all these
- 7:34Speaker 3: meetings with different supermarket chains coming up for that and
- 7:37Speaker 3: for the Press Juice company, and so I want to
- 7:40Speaker 3: make sure that those businesses are you know, huge multi
- 7:44Speaker 3: million dollars, one hundred million dollar businesses, and that's the
- 7:47Speaker 3: goal for those. And then I'm going to franchise the
- 7:50Speaker 3: coffee shops, and so I'm building it out so that
- 7:53Speaker 3: it will be franchiseable so that other people can open
- 7:56Speaker 3: their own. And we're doing our whole education program when
- 7:58Speaker 3: it comes to coffee, because it's a lot in the
- 8:00Speaker 3: coffee business that people don't know about. And every business
- 8:03Speaker 3: that I do, I try to make sure that I'm
- 8:06Speaker 3: always educating myself on it and taking classes and like
- 8:09Speaker 3: learning everything so that I become somewhat of an expert
- 8:12Speaker 3: on it, because I think it's the worst thing if
- 8:14Speaker 3: you open the business and don't know anything about the
- 8:16Speaker 3: business that you open.
- 8:19Speaker 4: I said, Jim, that is a gym. Ladies and gentlemen.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Are we gonna take the question? Yeah? How we go
- 8:27Speaker 4: with time? And they gotta get up early? You got
- 8:28Speaker 4: a couple more minutes?
- 8:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm fine.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Can we try like an ask you segment?
- 8:32Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. I think he's
- 8:35Speaker 4: familiar with that. Let's do it. All right, let's go,
- 8:37Speaker 4: Drew Gron we're not getting we're not getting relationship advice.
- 8:40Speaker 4: No relationship advice, and be respectful. Uh, Jill, read yourself.
- 8:45Speaker 4: You've been up here.
- 8:46Speaker 1: That's going on?
- 8:47Speaker 2: How's it going, y'all? Actually, for for you guys, it
- 8:52Speaker 2: was about opening up the ROTH. So I just had
- 8:56Speaker 2: my brother open up a rock. But when I was
- 8:57Speaker 2: looking up roth a count on Invescipedia, it was saying
- 9:01Speaker 2: that it has to be earn earned income, and he
- 9:05Speaker 2: doesn't work a job and he never has, so like,
- 9:07Speaker 2: is he able to open up that route account?
- 9:11Speaker 4: How old is he?
- 9:13Speaker 2: He's nineteen?
- 9:15Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, they're not really gonna check it like that.
- 9:17Speaker 4: It's really for the miners, I mean, but yeah, it's
- 9:19Speaker 4: supposed to be like I mean, but how is he
- 9:21Speaker 4: gonna put money if he never if he never had,
- 9:23Speaker 4: if he doesn't work, you're gonna put money in for him?
- 9:26Speaker 2: Well, he has a he has a banker, He has
- 9:28Speaker 2: like a savings account with some money that he's made
- 9:30Speaker 2: throughout his life, and we were just gonna move that
- 9:33Speaker 2: money into his rind.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean to give your cause every the bigger.
- 9:38Speaker 4: We get a lot of people, and the technical police
- 9:40Speaker 4: are coming down on us at an alarming rate. I
- 9:42Speaker 4: put a post cazar and they're like, that's tax fraud.
- 9:46Speaker 4: He's gonna put you in jail. So pay your taxes. Yes, yes,
- 9:51Speaker 4: it has to be earned income that you received. So
- 9:54Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you the technical answer on this and
- 9:57Speaker 4: tell him that once he starts working then he can
- 9:59Speaker 4: start put money into his retirement account. My graduates from
