• 0:44
  Speaker 2: food and restaurants and people. But it's just a whole
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: different thing because almost every time I've ever been INCLU

• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm digging.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: And of course Austin open for me. He met my
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: cousin Gary Hugley. That was pretty interesting Miss Gary there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It was good to see him.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Let's let's suffice it to say that the Trump administration
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: is going to rob this country blind.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying right now, they're going right.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I think he knows the direstraates he's in. I think
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: he knows he's a lame duck. I think he knows
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: how popular his agenda is. And I think he is
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: just going to steal. It's like somebody else who you
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: know like that. You know, you get ready get fired,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: so you start taking the pencils and the computers.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, you start ripping off
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: your job. That's what he's doing.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's ripping off taxpayers right now, which is
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: crazy because remember he said, oh no, it's gonna come
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: from private donations.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: That's what's going to build the ballroom. Yeah yeah, not
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the case.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I want ten billion because you because
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm suing who sues the government, And first off, I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: don't know how the Justice Department can issue money because
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that's still a congress's job. So somebody's gonna sue, Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: it's still the congress's job to allocate money.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You're gonna I'm at one point eight mine away.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: He hasn't even invested that in public, in the in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the in the American people, relief for the American people.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: What he has given you is a war you didn't want.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He's given you reach jerry manding. He's given you a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: fight for a ballroom. He's given you, you know, a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: lawsuit that costs almost two billion dollars.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: What did he do for you? What has happened for you?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And every time he's on the news, he's never talking
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: about what you're going through every one time as a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: matter of in fact, he said he didn't care about
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the American people and affordability. Set it out of his mouth.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And these people, rather than be wrong and admit they
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: were wrong, that this isn't working out the way they thought,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: what they just hang on he is robbing this car.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You know who does stuff like that?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Dictators like authoritarians, like people in these despots when they
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: know they take all the money and they moved to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a chalet in France. You know what I mean they
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: take all the money. That's what he's doing right now.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: He's filling his coffers as.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Long as he got his enablers in place.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: That's exactly literally robbin is. And you know what, the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: worst these I can't take them. I cannot take it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I cannot. Let me tell you, I despise black Trump supporters,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: despise them, despise.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Them with you. I just look at you, look at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: what you do.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And then they can't even there's no way to justify
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: it now at all.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: There's no way they can justify it now.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So they just say whatever, gonna be disillusioned to the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Chians come back and don't even care.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: He's the CEO of one ten. Please welcome to the show,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Maurice Jones. Hey there, nice to be with you, Thanks
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for having so. You guys have a pretty ambitious goal here.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So your your goal is over the next ten years
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: to employ one million Black Americans without college degrees. Tell
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: me a little bit about that movement, what it looks
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: like and how people can get involved.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So the movement basically is about integrating or I should say,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: knitting together and.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Ecosystem and scaling it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Right, So it starts with these companies and putting jobs
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: on the tables that are both family sustaining and don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: require a four year degree. From there, you have to
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: cascade to the organizations that actually can equip black talent
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: for success in these jobs two year HBCUs, community colleges
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: and online bootcamps and military transition programs.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: We do a vetting and we look we bring to
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: this core mission those that have approven track records.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Of getting black talent placed at the family sustaining jobs.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Then the third component of this ecosystem.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Obviously are the talent, right, black talent we source through
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: their relationship already with these trainers, but also building to
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the point that you were making about our dalas events,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: building partners ships, and doing outreach to the.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Black community where they're living and working and raising a family.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: And so that's Dallas, right, That's.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: New York, that's Atlanta, that's La right, really bringing black
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: talent to the opportunities here, to the folks who can
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: help them get prepared for these opportunities, to the jobs
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: who can actually interview and hire them.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: And then the fourth piece of this eco system, just
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: as important as all the other three, are the wrap
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: around supports that you need, mentor coaches, transportation, childcare.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: You know, everybody needs all of.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: This eco system in order to really thrive.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And so what this movement looks like is actually knitting
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: together those players.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And scaling them so they can actually.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: At critical mass and twenty five plus places around the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: country online. We have a tech platform that does the matching.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: We can match all of these players via our tech
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: platform and scaling. That's what the.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Movement looks like. So, yeah, we're gonna.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Be ten dollars in Atlanta, right, We've got to be everywhere.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's scaling an ecosystem. And by the way,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: these these assets are out there, we got to nit
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: them together and make them a high functioning team.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so, Maris.

• 6:37
