- 0:37Speaker 1: one seventy two. What's that the club that was my
- 0:40Speaker 1: dad to interviews? Uh, we started off at DD one
- 0:50Speaker 1: seventy two. Um, I was making music for a year.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Then he came over. I was showing him how to
- 0:55Speaker 1: making music. So we started off throwing parties afterwards. And
- 0:59Speaker 1: the funny thing about that, as my dad came in
- 1:01Speaker 1: was like, yo, oh, y'all do want this making music?
- 1:04Speaker 1: Not making no money? Throw a party. So we had
- 1:07Speaker 1: twenty four hours to throw a party. Let's success less
- 1:10Speaker 1: fight like thirteen. Yeah, it was late at night. We
- 1:13Speaker 1: didn't even sleep that night. In the morning, so he
- 1:15Speaker 1: told y'all throw a party at twenty five through a
- 1:17Speaker 1: party and makes some money or yeah, it was like
- 1:18Speaker 1: one the reality show. Yeah, he was like one am.
- 1:20Speaker 1: He was like, throw a party tomorrow. Why not to
- 1:22Speaker 1: be tomorrow, why not have some time? It was today
- 1:25Speaker 1: because it was technically after true, Yeah, it was that day,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and uh we threw a party. It was success. Like
- 1:32Speaker 1: five kids showed up. It was so popping that the
- 1:35Speaker 1: kids were like, why are you not charging? And it
- 1:38Speaker 1: was like, I finally start charging to make money if
- 1:41Speaker 1: you said the whole party make money. He sent through
- 1:43Speaker 1: for free first to get the cultivating and then afterwards
- 1:47Speaker 1: we started throwing more parties. And we were throwing at
- 1:50Speaker 1: his restaurants, choir or my oil factory and restaurants. Yeah,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and uh we were throwing parties at oil factories, which
- 2:03Speaker 1: is crazy because people would be whatever they were doing,
- 2:07Speaker 1: burning fire, like, yeah, your kids have retarded your fathers
- 2:11Speaker 1: in oil. That's how we got the oil factor. Okay,
- 2:13Speaker 1: got you got so you're throwing parties there saved a
- 2:16Speaker 1: bunch of money. Um. Then we started chiefs Luke your
- 2:20Speaker 1: father's in the restaurant business. Yeah, he's in the restaurant business.
- 2:23Speaker 1: He owns a company called Art Restaurants and they got
- 2:26Speaker 1: about maybe like forty concepts around the country. Yeah. So
- 2:31Speaker 1: you know, we used to have a bakery called Columbus
- 2:33Speaker 1: Bakery and it was right around the corner from where
- 2:36Speaker 1: we went to school Columbus Columbus Bakery now not Crumbs, um,
- 2:42Speaker 1: and we would go get cookies every day after school
- 2:45Speaker 1: and uh for lunch or for lunch even and uh,
- 2:50Speaker 1: one day, um, I just wanted some cookies. At DD
- 2:54Speaker 1: one seventy two, I saw an interview what you said that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I was like, how high was he? He really wanted
- 3:00Speaker 1: to He was like I really wanted this one. I
- 3:05Speaker 1: am a cookie head, you know, so I'll always eat cookies,
- 3:08Speaker 1: Like if they're there, I'm eating them. Yeah. Yeah, I definitely,
- 3:15Speaker 1: Oh my god, because cookies don't even matter. These cookies,
- 3:21Speaker 1: these cookies, and yeah, these cookies. I mean, we have
- 3:23Speaker 1: a great chef of Vico or Taka. He is amazing.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I mean he just knows how to make any pastry,
- 3:29Speaker 1: any bread. He's incredible. So all the capital the startup
- 3:33Speaker 1: business came from throwing aparties. Yes, and then you use
- 3:36Speaker 1: that to pay people to bake the cookies. And well
- 3:39Speaker 1: what we did was we partnered up with a lot
- 3:41Speaker 1: of different people. So, in my opinion, the way you
- 3:44Speaker 1: start a businesses you want to bring in the people
- 3:47Speaker 1: with the talent, you know, the experts. Yeah, exactly. So
- 3:50Speaker 1: we have a great designer, Marcus Allen. We partnered with
- 3:53Speaker 1: Vico and we just built this brand together. And that's
- 3:57Speaker 1: what you paid wages and bakers just off the point. No,
- 4:00Speaker 1: we just kept flipping it. Yeah, but before we even
- 4:03Speaker 1: had a package, we were into Fairway Market, which is
- 4:06Speaker 1: like the biggest market in the city probably, So we
- 4:10Speaker 1: went in there with a tray of cookies and they
- 4:13Speaker 1: just liked the cookies so much that they were like,
- 4:15Speaker 1: all right, pack it up really well for me. Yeah, yeah,
- 4:24Speaker 1: they were. They were impressed. I mean, you know, we
- 4:26Speaker 1: were nineteen years old. It's kind of hard to say no,
- 4:28Speaker 1: a nineteen year old I guess now what you what
- 4:30Speaker 1: you said, it's very important, but you said, but it
- 4:31Speaker 1: depends who you have got behind you. So your fathers
- 4:33Speaker 1: in the restaurant business, your father of course, the DamID Dash.
- 4:35Speaker 1: How could some kids who don't have those kind of
- 4:38Speaker 1: connections do what you got are doing well. I will
- 4:42Speaker 1: say that the hustle is probably more than ours. So
- 4:44Speaker 1: we got it easy because our fathers paid the way
- 4:47Speaker 1: for us. But hey, we met a bunch of kids
- 4:50Speaker 1: who were hustling just like us and just keep pushing.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Like all, because somebody says no one time doesn't mean
- 4:57Speaker 1: that you failed and stopped the business is you fail
- 5:01Speaker 1: a lot to get successful. It's not like a straight
- 5:04Speaker 1: successful successful pass. You don't hit one out the park immediately, exactly.
- 5:08Speaker 1: It takes a while. We've been doing this for like
- 5:10Speaker 1: five years. Restaurant that your restaurants in Jersey, our own
- 5:15Speaker 1: restaurants restaurant. Because I know you guys are doing a lot.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Can you guys be in and oversee everything that's going on?
- 5:23Speaker 1: As Like I said, there's a lot of partners involved,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you know, So that would be my answer to your
- 5:28Speaker 1: question as well. Um, if you can bring something to
- 5:31Speaker 1: the table, you know, partner with someone who could bring
- 5:34Speaker 1: something else to the table. You know, maybe you have
- 5:37Speaker 1: the talent, but somebody else has the finances, exactly like
- 5:39Speaker 1: I can't. Like I'm not a good cook, you know,
- 5:42Speaker 1: so we brought Vico in and I can't reach the
- 5:44Speaker 1: masses by myself, like he can't, you know, so betweens.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I know how to now I've learned. But yeah, but
- 5:56Speaker 1: we got We brought in another chef, actually, the chef
- 5:59Speaker 1: of Clyde Frasier's, which I think you did events there. Yeah, yeah,
- 6:04Speaker 1: that place, that's what my father is. Yeah, that's my father. Now.
- 6:08Speaker 1: That was that was the chat of going around yesterday
- 6:11Speaker 1: that he was your father. Who Clyde Fraser. Clyde Fraser
- 6:14Speaker 1: is not my father. Fraser Wall Fraser is not my father.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Could tell sin idiot his daddy. You think that he
- 6:26Speaker 1: just owns that restaurant himself. Yeah, come on, he's not
- 6:30Speaker 1: here right now, he's failing. He was like, No, that's
- 6:32Speaker 1: his father. I'm like, how the hell is he is adopted?
- 6:38Speaker 1: Definitely not my father, definitely not. But I know him
- 6:40Speaker 1: and his wife. Yeah, Patricia, Yeah, she's always there. She's great.
- 6:44Speaker 1: The whole the whole team over there is great. I
- 6:46Speaker 1: actually managed over there for a year. Yeah. I was worked.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I worked. You hadn't had a job. I had a job.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I had a boss and it was it was terror Gray.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I was That's what my dad said, hustle for your
- 6:59Speaker 1: last name. I was lucky. I had an opportunity to
- 7:02Speaker 1: work for my dad, but that's what made me do this.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to work for someone ever.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I think it is important though, Like if you are
- 7:09Speaker 1: going to work and be you know, probably owner a
- 7:11Speaker 1: restaurant or invest that to go work at one and know, well,
- 7:16Speaker 1: it's better to work, you know when we work in
- 7:19Speaker 1: the restaurant, both of us. If you go there, you'll
- 7:21Speaker 1: see both of us, you know, hands on. Yeah, it's
- 7:23Speaker 1: in the Medallands race track. Um, you know we did
- 7:28Speaker 1: it over that Metalands dope too. Yeah. Have you been there? Yeah? Yeah,
- 7:31Speaker 1: they got a dope club and there to its real
- 7:33Speaker 1: victory is get it to the masters. Yeah, so y'all
- 7:37Speaker 1: making enough money off chips to be able to open
- 7:38Speaker 1: up buns. Well, we have to end at the race track.
- 7:41Speaker 1: So they had a failing business over there. Um, and
- 7:45Speaker 1: we had an opportunity that we This opened the door
- 7:48Speaker 1: for a lot of opportunities. Pretty much. You went to
- 7:52Speaker 1: school together, met like sixth grade or something. Yeah, so
- 7:55Speaker 1: y'all been sitting around talking about stuff somewhat. Yeah. About
- 7:59Speaker 1: five years later, Yeah, we produced music too. We're about
- 8:04Speaker 1: to drop a single, uh and our record label with
- 8:07Speaker 1: mirrors actually, or we're gonna drop the single with mirrors
- 8:10Speaker 1: our record label together. Yeah, he's already had a tract
- 8:17Speaker 1: with him before he got signed, and it's about cookies definition. Yeah,
- 8:22Speaker 1: that's the name of the song. So maybe we'll drop
- 8:25Speaker 1: to the album artwork today. Do you have any plans
- 8:28Speaker 1: of doing like a television show or anything like that.
- 8:30Speaker 1: I'm actually outside to cut you off, but I'm actually
- 8:33Speaker 1: in the middle of doing one now growing up pimp
- 8:35Speaker 1: hop and we're working out of dealing with some other people. Yeah,
- 8:39Speaker 1: it only makes sense. Yeah, yeah, working on commercials, so
- 8:43Speaker 1: why not? So so the comments your father made here,
- 8:45Speaker 1: he always instilled that in you from day one, Yes
- 8:48Speaker 1: he did. Did he let you talk? I love better
- 8:54Speaker 1: than It's like, don't say anything. That's just what he
- 8:56Speaker 1: gotta say. You believe in what he said about people
- 9:05Speaker 1: shouldn't have jobs. He didn't say that well with people
- 9:11Speaker 1: who have jobs, Well, listen, it depends from who. Like
- 9:14Speaker 1: if you're not doing anything, if not growing, then I
- 9:18Speaker 1: don't want to say there's no private like you gotta
- 9:20Speaker 1: by all means do your hustle. But like for you guys,
- 9:24Speaker 1: I would say you guys should start your own radio station.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You all have a pretty shore over one hundred thousand
- 9:29Speaker 1: followers on Instagram. I think that we all we come
- 9:32Speaker 1: here and we come together. This is kind of the
- 9:34Speaker 1: core of allowing us to go and do things in
- 9:37Speaker 1: our own. It might not it might not be us
- 9:39Speaker 1: starting our own radio station, per se, but we all
- 9:42Speaker 1: have our own separate ventures that our own. And the
- 9:44Speaker 1: one thing that people missed at your pop said, there's
- 9:46Speaker 1: nothing wrong with taking the capital that you make from
- 9:48Speaker 1: another place and investing it in the other things that
- 9:50Speaker 1: you want. And if you I'm not gonna watch to
- 9:52Speaker 1: walk away from a six seven figure job. And the
- 9:54Speaker 1: most the most important thing about being a boss is
- 9:58Speaker 1: having good employees behind you. I mean that is the
- 10:01Speaker 1: most important. So there's definitely no shame in being an employee.
- 10:03Speaker 1: But there's certain people that were born to be employees
- 10:06Speaker 1: and born to be bosses. But but you can't be
- 10:10Speaker 1: a good boss if you don't have great employees. And
- 10:12Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. Did y'all get any backlash for
- 10:14Speaker 1: y'all employees like yo, what your father said? No, they
- 10:18Speaker 1: actually loved it. They're like, yo, I want to be
- 10:20Speaker 1: a boss now. Inspire it's inspiring. After that interview, people
- 10:24Speaker 1: started like coming up and Eddie's a chef all of
- 10:28Speaker 1: a sudden, And then don't they make it difficult for
- 10:30Speaker 1: y'all though you got chiefs and Indians. Though I'm talking
- 10:34Speaker 1: about this as far as like with the employee, you
- 10:36Speaker 1: gotta have chief Indians. You know what the shame in
- 10:38Speaker 1: this in the world nowadays is when you're born, you're
- 10:42Speaker 1: you're you're answering to your your parents. Then when you
- 10:44Speaker 1: go to school, you're answering to a teacher, and you
- 10:46Speaker 1: go to college, you're answering to a professor. You know,
- 10:49Speaker 1: you're always answering to someone, and then you're still answering
- 10:52Speaker 1: to to taxes and the government. And after a while
- 10:55Speaker 1: you say, Okay, you know what, if I'm going to
- 10:57Speaker 1: make my own money, I want I don't want to
- 10:59Speaker 1: answer to someone. And you're always going to be answering
- 11:01Speaker 1: to your consumer and your customer. And that's the most
- 11:05Speaker 1: important thing about being a boss that in the employees,
- 11:08Speaker 1: and I think in the early stages in your life,
- 11:09Speaker 1: it's more you're learning, you know obviously, like you go
- 11:12Speaker 1: to school, because you're learning from somebody who is supposed
- 11:14Speaker 1: to be teaching you that you're learning. But but after
- 11:17Speaker 1: a while, you know, for me, at least, I just
- 11:22Speaker 1: can't college. I didn't know what I wanted to do
- 11:25Speaker 1: when I got out, but when I was there, I
- 11:26Speaker 1: took a lot of different courses that helped me define
- 11:28Speaker 1: what it was that I was most interested in and
- 11:30Speaker 1: then home that talent. That's why I respect what y'all
- 11:32Speaker 1: doing because it seems like y'all are focused, y'all know
- 11:34Speaker 1: what it is y'all want to do, and that's very
- 11:36Speaker 1: hard to find for kids y'all age, right, Yeah, I
- 11:39Speaker 1: mean there's knowing our age we're doing. That's actually what
- 11:43Speaker 1: they're doing is though. But you know what one thing
- 11:44Speaker 1: that Dame said that I agreed on is he feels
- 11:47Speaker 1: that we should invest in ourselves and make sure that
- 11:50Speaker 1: people put money to the side and invest. We do, no,
- 11:52Speaker 1: I know we do, I know we do, but we
- 11:56Speaker 1: usually don't do that, and young people usually don't do
- 11:58Speaker 1: that unless it's inherited or talk from family members like
- 12:00Speaker 1: my parents. You know, they worked on their life. That
- 12:02Speaker 1: wasn't me. I'm a little different. But like you know,
- 12:04Speaker 1: the only thing that I didn't like what he said was,
- 12:06Speaker 1: you know, people get misconstrued when people go back and
- 12:08Speaker 1: forth and argue. And when he said that people who
- 12:11Speaker 1: work don't have dignity people you know, people and proud
- 12:14Speaker 1: in their job and themselves, people really take that really
- 12:18Speaker 1: harshly because they work every day, you know. I mean
- 12:19Speaker 1: a lot of people don't have a dad like Dame
- 12:21Speaker 1: Dash or like yours who has money, so they gotta
- 12:23Speaker 1: work to put some money to the side to save
- 12:25Speaker 1: so they can create their own. A lot of people
- 12:27Speaker 1: took that a little harsh was really upset by that,
- 12:30Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know what I think he's
- 12:33Speaker 1: He's an inspiring guy. He is, and he the best
- 12:36Speaker 1: worst life coach ever means been the best for us.
- 12:41Speaker 1: The only reason we're sitting here is because of him
- 12:43Speaker 1: and my father and our partner's father, our partner Sam.
- 12:48Speaker 1: He's another reason why we are able to do what
- 12:51Speaker 1: we do. That and hit me on Instagram was like, hey,
- 12:52Speaker 1: we said, because that's why mentorship is very importantly. Now,
- 12:56Speaker 1: what about you as as sons of people who are
- 12:58Speaker 1: successful in business, do you ever feel like you have
- 13:01Speaker 1: to teach them something because you know you are the
- 13:03Speaker 1: younger generation. It's a different kind of parents. Yeah, all
- 13:07Speaker 1: the time, because I'm sure you have to go back
- 13:09Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, you guys need to be more
- 13:10Speaker 1: active doing this and to what are some things? You
- 13:13Speaker 1: would say? My father's seventy one so ended in late yeah,
- 13:17Speaker 1: and he's in better shape than everyone in this room too,
- 13:21Speaker 1: which is probably which is the craziest thing. But you
- 13:23Speaker 1: know he's he listens, you know, but you can't just say, like,
- 13:26Speaker 1: if you're Joe Schmoe and you're going to talk to
- 13:29Speaker 1: your father, why isn't gonna listen to you? You know,
- 13:31Speaker 1: I think after a while, you know, when you accomplish
- 13:34Speaker 1: something and you you do something that no one at
- 13:37Speaker 1: your age can do, that they'll listen to you. You know,
- 13:40Speaker 1: Like I'm in a position now where I can do
- 13:42Speaker 1: a lot of different things to help him and his
- 13:43Speaker 1: company grow, right because he probably has more of a
- 13:45Speaker 1: traditional business stance from how he was. You know, the
- 13:48Speaker 1: way my dad's business is run is is he just
- 13:52Speaker 1: wants the customer to be happy. So the kind of
- 13:56Speaker 1: things that he's done that I've seen him do, I
- 13:58Speaker 1: think he's crazy. But like the be people that will
- 14:00Speaker 1: be driving to to a restaurant and then the restaurant
- 14:03Speaker 1: will be closed, he'll pay for the gas, you know,
- 14:06Speaker 1: he'll he'll put them in a hotel for the night.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, and that's the best. BA. I will
- 14:13Speaker 1: always go back to that restaurant, and then you'll tell
- 14:16Speaker 1: someone about it, and then that person will tell someone
- 14:18Speaker 1: else about it. You know. It's like if someone like
- 14:21Speaker 1: some guy ordered some cookies in the bag opened in
- 14:23Speaker 1: the mail. You know that's not my fault, but I
- 14:25Speaker 1: just sent him three more back the next day. You know,
- 14:29Speaker 1: it's all about the customer, right, absolutely, no business exactly.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Y'all got a polar polar free thos that's coming h
- 14:40Speaker 1: that's going to translates to in English? Yeah, fried chicken?
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yeah it was we thought that name through Um made
- 14:53Speaker 1: that in the car ride back from once. Yeah what
- 14:56Speaker 1: about poy or. We turn to our chef, actually Armando,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and we were like, he's a cheferd clads and we
- 15:01Speaker 1: were like, yo, how do you say fried chicken in Spanish?
- 15:04Speaker 1: Free throw? Okay? That's why I like classes because they
- 15:08Speaker 1: have really good food and it's a sports bark, but
- 15:09Speaker 1: it's like a more the food there. The food is
- 15:12Speaker 1: better than you think of, like you think a sports
- 15:14Speaker 1: bar food, you don't really think the food is well
- 15:16Speaker 1: when where that's a high class we're not really supposed
- 15:20Speaker 1: to say sports bar that that's not what they wanted.
- 15:23Speaker 1: They wanted to be a high class restaurants. Kind of
- 15:25Speaker 1: turned into a sports park. But it has TVs everywhere
- 15:27Speaker 1: and fifty all go there to watch, you know. I mean,
- 15:30Speaker 1: it's that place is huge. Yeah, it ain't too many

- 15:39Speaker 1: got the business talk down, you know what I'm saying,

- 17:22Speaker 1: and like, luckily we had bosses, fathers as bosses, so
- 17:27Speaker 1: they at the wound pretty much. We came out as
- 17:29Speaker 1: bosses because that's what my dad instolet to be, Like, Yo,
- 17:31Speaker 1: you don't want a job, you know, do this. I
- 17:33Speaker 1: actually worked for my dad for a month and I
- 17:35Speaker 1: hated it because Daddy, yeah, yeah, act like I have
- 17:42Speaker 1: to work for them, and I'm like, what is going on.

- 17:54Speaker 1: lot of things happened. Did he scream on you like
- 17:56Speaker 1: all the time a time? My dad was not screaming
- 18:02Speaker 1: when he was up here. That's him being that's hard,
- 18:05Speaker 1: I'm coming out. That's something like this being masculin And
- 18:09Speaker 1: that's just some conversation with you. I told about yesterday.
- 18:12Speaker 1: It was like he was his delivery. I'm like, yo,
- 18:13Speaker 1: that's the thing I've been watching some backstage. He just
- 18:16Speaker 1: wants to inspire people. I mean, look at him. This
- 18:18Speaker 1: is a guy that's that's brought out the best in
- 18:21Speaker 1: so many people. You know, Kanye West, jay Z, Rachel Roy,
- 18:25Speaker 1: I mean in fashion music and now we're doing food.
- 18:28Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. This guy's accomplished. It's very when
- 18:32Speaker 1: he has problems with people, like and he goes off.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Does that mean that when you see them as it
- 18:35Speaker 1: awkward or do you just like all right, my pop
- 18:39Speaker 1: so back. If you see Jim Jones, is it just
- 18:42Speaker 1: like you just act like you don't see him? Like

- 18:54Speaker 1: my dad's little brothers. So you know, you beat for
- 18:57Speaker 1: a family sometimes, but it's still all love. I even
- 19:00Speaker 1: saw you posted. I saw you posted to pick up
- 19:02Speaker 1: a Leah once he was he was around it you
- 19:04Speaker 1: met it was I was. I was crying when she died. Wow,
- 19:07Speaker 1: how are you? I want to say, like like nine, okay, okay, yeah,

- 19:22Speaker 1: Pascalley's Young Entrepreneurs is the Breakfast Club and tell them
- 19:25Speaker 1: all the businesses right fast. They no chips, cookies, all
- 19:29Speaker 1: for one, records, buns, sandwiches, play free to what else?
- 19:34Speaker 1: Got dirty napkins? Dirty napkins? I don't even know what
- 19:37Speaker 1: else we got. We got so many businesses. Yeah, we're
- 19:41Speaker 1: gonna put out the music. How much of the businesses
- 19:43Speaker 1: is the alone, it's all equal, Yeah, how many parts
- 19:48Speaker 1: partners exactly? All right? Thirty three point three three three
- 19:52Speaker 1: three three buns. We got more partners we got We
- 19:57Speaker 1: got Sam Juane Seen, Armando Cortez, Vika Artega and then
- 20:02Speaker 1: us two. So, you know, and I wanted to answer
- 20:06Speaker 1: your question about becoming a boss. You know, if there's
- 20:12Speaker 1: certain people like my father. He's a high school dropout, Yeah,
- 20:17Speaker 1: and he worked yet he worked in clubs and he's
- 20:24Speaker 1: just a people person. So his partner right now, he
- 20:28Speaker 1: used to let into the clubs and one day he
- 20:31Speaker 1: bumped into him on the street. And that guy gave
- 20:34Speaker 1: my dad an opportunity to become a boss. And his
- 20:38Speaker 1: work ethic proved to Michael Weinstein that he could run
- 20:45Speaker 1: a company. So we are people that work with us
- 20:48Speaker 1: right now that we see in the future could potentially
- 20:53Speaker 1: be a very important piece to the puzzle, you know,
- 20:58Speaker 1: And these are these are people that will be bosses.
- 21:02Speaker 1: They have those leadership qualities, Yeah, they have leadership qualities.
- 21:04Speaker 1: You know. We got a guy who who comes to us.
- 21:08Speaker 1: You need anything, You need anything. Every single time I
- 21:11Speaker 1: see him, you need anything, that's Eddie. That's Eddie. And
- 21:16Speaker 1: he's becoming a chef. And best believe, when we open
- 21:19Speaker 1: a store, he'll be running a store. And that's how
- 21:21Speaker 1: you become a boss. When you got to prove yourself.
- 21:23Speaker 1: You know, you can't be lazy, because nowadays everyone's just lazy,
- 21:27Speaker 1: and interns will go on to do great. Yeah, of
- 21:32Speaker 1: course they are here because I do feel like, even
- 21:35Speaker 1: when you're working somewhere, if you're not getting paid in
- 21:37Speaker 1: it's an internship, you should still treat it like you
- 21:39Speaker 1: are because you know who is watching. You should still
- 21:41Speaker 1: learn everything you possibly can and actually care about it.
- 21:45Speaker 1: You know, if you care, you're gonna become a boss.
- 21:48Speaker 1: It's just gonna happen, you know. Yea. We even had
- 21:51Speaker 1: an intern who came up and now we pay him.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Who is Marcus. Yeah, he was intern for like a
- 21:56Speaker 1: year and now he did all the designs. He designs
- 21:59Speaker 1: everything from Even in that learning process, it's more about
- 22:01Speaker 1: what you're learning than how much money you're making. I
- 22:03Speaker 1: feel like, at first, in the beginning end that you love,
- 22:06Speaker 1: eventually you will make money doing it exactly. We don't
- 22:10Speaker 1: take a paycheck, you know, we just invest. I mean,
- 22:15Speaker 1: you got to prove yourself. You can't just there's different ways.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Some people have different paths. We're lucky we can. Our
- 22:21Speaker 1: doors are kind of open already, you know, but some
- 22:23Speaker 1: other people got to open the door, right. Well, we
- 22:26Speaker 1: still put in the work. We definitely put in the work.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I package these cookies. I packaged all of these. But
- 22:33Speaker 1: it's also invested. Like you said, when you got partners
- 22:36Speaker 1: and you don't got to put up everything that you own.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing. We dump our life. Yeah,
- 22:40Speaker 1: we put up our life. We didn't. We didn't really
- 22:42Speaker 1: put up money. You know. We were able to do
- 22:45Speaker 1: a lot of things for a little to no cost
- 22:48Speaker 1: because our doors are open. But if our doors weren't open,
- 22:52Speaker 1: you know, I would say that we would probably be
- 22:56Speaker 1: halfway to where we are today just because of our
- 22:58Speaker 1: work ethic. You got of the work ethic. There you
- 23:02Speaker 1: have it. It's the Breakfast Club. Tell Dame he's welcome anytime.
