  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 0:31

  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I'm sure somebody in the crowd has an amazing idea
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four. Can you talk to us about
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: how to overcome that fear? Be relentless as hell and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: going after what we want to make that a reality.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: There are a few things which a couple of things
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: which I think is very important. The first thing I
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: want to talk about is people of color who are
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: blessed with wealth and opportunity. We tend to think that
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: entrepreneurship and success it's a zero sum game. Meaning if
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: you get a billion dollars, then I cannot get a
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: billion dollars. So if I hear that you're doing something
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: great which has the potential for you getting a billion dollars,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: but because I have half a billion, no no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: you can't do that. I'm going to do whatever I can,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: or maybe I will not do anything to help you
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: which will enable you to get to that goal. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of what I've noticed is a lot of
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: wealthy black people don't want other people with potential to
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: do well. So I think that that is the first
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: thing that we need to focus on. How to accept
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: the fact that we all can be successful, all of us.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: There's no reason why no one here shouldn't be you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: it's perfectly fine that we all can be successful. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the second thing that I want us to go into
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four with is that you can do it too.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: You can do it too. What's the difference between you
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and lurn mask? Does we have two heads? Until you
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: show me someone that has two heads. Don't tell me
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: I can't do it. You don't know what I'm capable of. Yes,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I understand, you know. So you should believe in yourself
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: because that self doubt is what is really killing us.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: So these are the two main things that I want
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: us to really go in twenty twenty four with. You know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: let's see how we can help each other and let's
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: have some faith in ourselves and believe we can do it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: As a follow up, real quick, where does that belief
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: in yourself come from? Because now everyone has that and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the most important thing that I want everyone to live
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: with here is that they can do it. But where
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: does that undying belief from yourself come from?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, as I said, I think we are all
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: a putut of our surroundings. You know, as I said,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I moved back to Ghana. I didn't have a plan.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Even it was very difficult. I used to run out
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: of gas. I didn't have money to buy gas. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: was run out of gas, But not once did I
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: feel like I was poor psychologically, I felt like my
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: money was coming. It's just a matter of time. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: I've always had that feeling.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

  Speaker 4: If you sit there thinking it ain't gonna wake out,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: it ain't gonna wake up, probably ain't gonna work out.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: But if you believe it's gonna work out, failures are
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: gonna come through your way. However, these failures are actually
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: listens to get you to where you need to get to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: So that's that's why I get that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: That's why I get down from and I quick follow
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: up to that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: All in Gas is a competitive space, right, and so
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: as you're breaking new grounds, especially for the country, what
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: is it like from the competition, what kind of challenges
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: are you facing. I'm sure there's people are like, no,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: we can't let him win.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a tough one because I'm the first
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: of our kind to really break through. It was really
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: chaling didn't so a lot of entities tried their best
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: to ensure that I will not be able to achieve that. Now,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: let me give an example. I was in a meeting
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: with a company in Houston, oil and Gas company. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: you know, we're all doing well. We're having a chat.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So it's like, so how did you start.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I took the profits that I made
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: in my downstream, which is the trading business, reinvested all
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: my profits in the appstream because you know, when you
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: drill one well's about a hundred million dollars one well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: one hundred million dollars. And I didn't have no bank loan. Okay,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: no bank is going to give me a loan, No
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: local bank because it has the ability to help, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: no foreign bank because I'm black. You're crazy, You're not
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: going to give any money. So the guy was looking
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: at me and I'm like, I don't reinvested my profits.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: He said, you did what he said. When I set
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: up a company, I resigned from an organization, I set
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: up a company, and Blackstone gave me fourhun are million dollars.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: That's how I started. I didn't even have an asset.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: They gave me four undred million dollars and said go
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: figure out, you know which oil asset you can acquire.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: So he looked at me like you did what you
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: used your own word. So it's very challenging. But out
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: of all those challenges comes the blessings and comes the success.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: So if you believe in yourself, if you believe in
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: what you're doing and you put your own money in,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: think about what the next person is going to do
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: or what the bank. So now I have people like
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: you know running around me following me with money, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: just want to invest in you or want to give
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: you a loan or whatever it is. But I basically
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: use my own profits. I have no debts, no nothing
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: like that. To this day, I still have no loans
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that I have no loans. I have drawn down on lines,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: but I have not drawn down on anything. So sometimes
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: if you believe in your stuff, you got to put
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: in your own money and don't always expect because they
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: don't want us to win. You have to understand they
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: don't want you to win. You know, you got to
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: take it. You got to believe in that. You got
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: to keep you going. You know, I'm going to give
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: you nothing for free, right, stay away from there.
