  Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal

  Speaker 1: aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, your

  Speaker 1: next you will be fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and deported.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You will never return.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 0:50

  Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: You said you wanted to get off of Lebron's payroll
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: as soon as possible, and you know, people create their
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: own narratives. But a lot of people might say, well,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: it's easy for him to become a number one agent
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: because Lebron, Right, Lebron's just God.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: But I know you always actually harder.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, So talk about talk about that and talk
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: about why it was essential for you to get off
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: of his payroll. Why is essential for you to not
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: be in that type of role.
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: Well, it was essentral number one because prior to I've
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: always been someone who was had a pretty entrepreneurial spirit.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: My dad was a store owner. We made our money
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: selling beer, wine and cigarettes. You know, I grew up
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: playing people lottery numbers at seven and eight years of age. Right,
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: I learned about marketing by selling now Laters and Jolly
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: Joe's and Cherry Clans, and you know, that's how I
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: buy what you can came and bought in the store.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: This is how I learned about supply and demand.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: So when my dad would send us back to the
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: wholesale store, he was sit in the car and let
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: me go in and pick the candy. I couldn't pick
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: the candy that I wanted.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: I had to pick the candy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: That the people would buy, because that's how we made
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: our money. And so through that I learned customer service
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: and the importance of customer service, right, because the community
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: is the job.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: We got to make sure that we take care of
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: the community.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: And so that allowed me to have that mindset. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: to answer your question, Lebron wasn't obligated to do anything
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: for me or anybody else. The only person he was
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: actually obligated to do something for was Gloria James.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: That's his mother. Right.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: I was so happy that I wasn't his brother, like
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: blood brother, because at that point there's a guilt that
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: comes into play, right, and if I screw up?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Can he really fire? Can you really fire your brother? Right?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: You know? And so.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: For me, once I got my opportunity, and when I
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: got the call, when my mother called me and said
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: you have a check in the mail.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: And when you guys read my book, this is all that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: This is not.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: This is someone that is in there. But when my
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: mother called me and said you have a check in
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: the mail, I didn't. I wasn't expecting that. I didn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: even know how to really read a check. My mother
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: showed me how to do so. But when I called
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: and asked what my job was, he said he didn't know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: He said, I actually don't have a position for you
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: at all. I don't have one, and I don't know
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: when I'm gonna get one, So now I got two choices.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: I'm definitely not a yes man, and I love the shop,
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: so I like to go to the I can't wait
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: on you to go to them all for when I
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: get to go to the mall, that's not gonna ever happen.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: So because of that, I did the things that I
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: created value.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: I was everything from party promoter before he was even.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Able to party styless jeweler.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: You know, until one day in the Nike meeting, he
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: asked me, what did I think? And it's Phil Knight,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: it's Charlie Denson's Lynn Mayrit, it's all the top executives
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: at Nike. And now I'm saying, well, I'm not guessing here.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: This is what I know because I've had every shoot
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: that ever came out since nineteen eighty nine, whatever it was.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: And so I took the floor. Well that led to
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: me getting a job at Nike because they seen.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: I had value.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: So when I was there, I learned cutting, so I
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: learned all the legal aspects of it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: I learned the footwear business I love.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: I learned the marketing business because Marketing is not endorsements.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Marketing is storytelling. Endorsements are endorsements marketing. The best marketing
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: companies in the world they never tell you a price,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: but they show you the product, but.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: They never tell you the price.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: Honda's going to say, this is the Civic twenty twenty
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: three with leather. It cost you thirty six thousand. That's
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: a different that's a sales thing. That's a totally different thing.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: And so I wanted to make sure that I was
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: always creating value. And I also didn't want because in life,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: you know, you can you can only ride the horse
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: for so long. Can't get comfort riding somebody else's horse.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: That don't make sense.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: So you have to continue to create value. So that's
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: what I did.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: And then the reason why I went into the agent
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: business is because I felt like our young men were
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: the game was being monopolized by.
• 5:36

  Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: People that really didn't understand them as people. They saw
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: them as commissions, but they didn't see them as people.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: And so if I only see you as a check,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to invest in you. Right when the
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: talent runs out, I lose your number and I get
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: the next talent. Well, that didn't sit well with me,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: and so I wanted to create something that they can
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: go to sleep at night knowing that, you know what,
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: I can trust Rich, and I can trust the people
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: that Rich is putting around me, because my integrity and
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: my respect for you as a person won't allow me
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: to do anything that would be detrimental to your future.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: And damn sure not going to do anything that is
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: going to have you look at me a certain way
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: because where I come from, there's a major consequence for that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: But in the business I'm in, those consequences don't exist.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: But I didn't know any different.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: You know, we were just just trying to survive the day,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: sometimes an hour, depending on what's going on around the corner.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: So I brought that energy and those pitfalls to an
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: industry that didn't know that, and they didn't know our children.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: And so I even currently.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Today, people talk about it's easier with Lebron, Oh, he
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: just did this because Lebron.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: They must don't know what the word envy means. They
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: must don't.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Understand how hard it is to walk in the room
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: and people tell you, oh, because you represent this person,
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: I don't think you're the right person for me, even
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: though he's built this big portfolio, and I have a
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: ton of other guys.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: That's built great portfolios.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: As well and done well. But for some reason, it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: just hard for people to do business with people that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Look like I'm not gonna say four people.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna say it's hard for our people to do
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: business with our people at a high level and respect
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: them and not cheat them and not try to say
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: I gave you opportunities, so you should work for free. No,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: I gave you the opportunity. You're doing a great job.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna pay you what you deserve. And I talk
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: to my guys about this all the time. And for
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: anybody else out there, somebody out there is doing something
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: for you, I don't care if they're your sister cousin.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: I don't care if they're on the drug. I don't
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: care about any of that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: How you treat people matters, It just really does.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: And I want to pay you top dollar. I want
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: to pay you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: More, right because when we go to Van Cleef and
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Louis and Chanelle, they're not giving us no discount and
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: we're not asking for one. We want you to know
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: how much we pay for it. So when I but
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: when I come to you with my labor to wash
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: your car, and I washed it and you had the
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: juice and the cup holder and all this stuff, but
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: you want to put and you don't even want.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: To tip me, Well, it don't work. You get what
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. And so I instill that in my in
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: my clients from day one. When we go to a restaurant,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: I pay attention.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: I watch how they call a waiter or a waitress
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: and know, hey, yoyo, no, no excuse me, Can I
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: have thank you?
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: And then when that bill comes, we're gonna.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Make sure they get twenty five percent. You understand I'm
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: saying that's how it should be. And if it's like that,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: when you think about the ecosystem for an athlete. An
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: athlete need a barber, they need a handyman. They need
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: a nanny, they need.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: A driver, they need a their wives.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Need a makeup artist and a cosmetologist. You know, they
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: need all these things. This is the ecosystem of the athlete.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: This job's available.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: But the reason why we don't care to do them
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: in abundance is because how you treat.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: If you treated them differently then and you explain to them, hey,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: you're not gonna get it. You're not gonna get a
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: seat at the table when we at the club. That
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: ain't what this is this is about.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: But I actually need you to do this. It's a
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: consistent pay for at.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Least twelve years for the right person at least.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: And while you're doing that, you build your clientele.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Right, because there's a draft every year. People coming in
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: a real estate agent. My guys just renting places in
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: every city around America. But it's not many. You give
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: them saying, and if it is, they show up laid like.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: The habits matter, right, And so this is this is
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: very important. And I tell my own siblings this, there's
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: an ecosystem. Find a lane. If you find a lane,
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: you got an opportunity. If you've got an opportunity, then
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: you make it work from there.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Turn this out.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: One plus one should equal five by the time we
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: get down with this.
