  Speaker 3: Shannon, let's get into it, my brother, let's do it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So first and foremost, I want to start with this Coneyak.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: You told me a story. You know, if y'all watch
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it for a long time before Club Shay, shall, you
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: know that it was Black and Miles and it was Hennessy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: So how did this come about?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Because you said that Hennessy actually played a part in
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: this in a weird, unorthodox way, right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: They absolutely did.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know how many you guys have followed me,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: but when I joined Undisputed back in twenty sixteen. When
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I would celebrate my team winning and skips team not winning.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I would come out with Black and Miles.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: I would have Swishers, you know, Snoop would give me
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: some product, but I would come out with Hennessy. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: I asked them to be an ambassador for them because
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: I was giving them free publicity, doing ten fifteen million impressions.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And they was like, Okay, yeah, you're doing a great job.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: We really appreciate it. We love what you're doing. We're watching.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: And so now fast forward I think a couple of
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: years the Super Bowls in Atlanta.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: They's like, oh, yeah, we really love what you're doing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: So I'm thinking I'm promoting their product Sue Bowls in Atlanta.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: I live in Atlanta. I'm from Georgia. They're gonna invite
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: me to the parties. They're gonna make me an ambassador.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Not only do they not make me an ambassador, they
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: bring someone on as an ambassador that has never promoted
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: their product.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So I said, you know what.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Had this A couple of guys reach out to him
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: and says, have you thought about doing your own spirits?
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I said, no, I haven't. They's like, well, what would
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: what would you like to do. If you were to
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: do a spirit, I said, Kanyak. It wasn't even in
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: my mind at the time that I was gonna be
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: competing against Hennessy. I just thought the the the tequila
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: market was oversaturated the wine market, that everybody had started
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: to get into the wine and so I felt that
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: if I got into the Kanyak space, it would be great.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: It would be great. And fast forward, here we are.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: We're taking off. We're the number number two spirits in
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Georgia as far as sales, we're number one in Colorado, and.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So we're doing unbelievable.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: We're gonna come out at the beginning of twenty twenty
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: five with a platinum edition, so we're gonna have two Kanyaks.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: And I'm very, very pleased with where it's headed.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: You have some incredible competition. Can you walk us through
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: what your plan is to make this brand number one?
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, Hennersy got a big head start on us,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: and I won't ever speak down on the competition because
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: that's not.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: What we do.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: We feel that we have the best VSOP on the
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: market and what we've done, the process that we had
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: to go through to get through this as I was
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: telling him backstage, this is not the original bottle.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: The original bottle that we came out.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: With, the company that we were using with bankrupt so
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: they took a lot of our money with them, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: so we had to come out with.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: A new design.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: But what we feel, what we felt is that during
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: the pandemic, do you know how hard it was to
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: get stuff back and forth out of the country, you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: getting you know, samples, Because when you put together Knyact,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: people don't realize this. It has to originate in the
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Connact region. It can't originate anywhere else. It has to
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: go through the process copper pots, wooden barrels, things of
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: that nature for at least two years. And so to
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: get the combinations of going back and forth and we're
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: gonna upload it eventually. What a Connact is because you
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: like a certain taste, because at the end of the day,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: taste matters. But we want this Kangyact to win awards.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: So me and my partners we went to Knyact. We
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: flew the Kanyac. Well, at first we couldn't do that,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: but when we're coming out with this platinum, we flew
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: the Kanyac, spent three days over there mixing the products,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: and we believe that we've come up with a great
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: the Platinum Edition, and it's binding right now.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: So we mixed this in June. Hopefully we'll get it
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: here in.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: The next month or so so we can taste it
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: and make sure is to our satisfaction and the people
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: that's gonna buy a product, they're gonna love it also.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: So, okay, you have the most viral moment of our generation.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Make some noise for that fact.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Seventy million views on YouTube, Kat Williams. Right, Yes, let's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: talk about this for a minute and a couple different manners. First,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: i'd ask you, but I want you to hit tell the audience.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Did you know that when you did that that interview
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: right in your mind? Did you know like this is
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a home run way out of here? We never looking back.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I was just hoping to get ten million views, I thought,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: because Steve Harvey at the time, he was my most
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: viewed conversation on my platform at eight million views, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: I feel if I can get eight to ten million views,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: that was a great That was a great conversation, great interview,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it. I just remember a
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: short story of how that came about. I got off
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: the elevators one Friday. I was in my attorney's office
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: and this black lady is getting on the elevator as
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I'm getting off, and she said, hey, Shannon, how you doing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I said, hey, how are you? I was like, ma'am,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: do I know you? She's like no, She's like, I've
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: never seen you here before. I said, my attorney's here
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: and I've been coming here for like three or four years.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: She said, wow, I never knew that. She said, today
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: is my last dad at work.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I said really, I said, so, what are you going
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to do now?
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Mind you I've had I've been trying to line Cat
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Williams up for over a year. I don't know if
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: people know this, but Cat doesn't fly. He takes his
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: tour bust everywhere, so he's not gonna be in California
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: anytime soon. So I'm getting off, I'm getting off. She's
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: getting on. She explains, today's my last deal work. I said, so,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: if you don't mind me asking, what are you going
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: to do? She said, I'm getting ready to be Cat
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Williams's personal assistant. I said, really, I said, I've been
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: trying to line Cat up for a year. That was
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: a Friday. The following Friday, Cat was sitting on that
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: brown couch getting ready to do club shay shake.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: That's incredible, And.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: So I remember doing it and I tell people this,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: and I don't know if you've heard it. Had we
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: had Cat miked up from the time he hit the door,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: it had done one hundred million views because there are
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: a lot of people that he killed that it never
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: made the air because try Cat has already got me enough.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Cat has already got me enough trouble as it is.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: And so I remember wrapping the interview and I look
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: back at my producer CJ. And he's shaking his head.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: So I covered my mic. I was like, did I
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: say something? The Cat say something? What's going on? And
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: he's just shaking his head. He said, you're gonna break
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: the internet and people are gonna talk about this for
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: all twenty four and I'm looking at him like really,
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: He's like, Shannon, you have no idea. And so I'm
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: hoping for ten million, and we do twenty four million
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: in two days and needless to say, but you don't
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: know what's gonna be good. You're just having a conversation.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: You're letting the and people like, well you being messy?
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: What guys did? I let men and women to come
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: on my show, and I don't listen to any other
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: interview they've done, so I'm not looking at them with
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: judgy eyes. I'll allow them to speak freely. I'm not
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: trying to cut them off. And that's why the interviews
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: go ninety minutes, two two hours, sometimes three hours, because
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not cutting them off and trying to redirect them
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: in a path I want them to go. You took
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: time to come on my platform, so I want you
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: to speak freely. I always ask all my guests, is
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: there anything you do not wish to talk about? I
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: believe the person that's sitting on my couch has a
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: good enough portfolio that they can talk their entire career
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: without their most embarrassing situation.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And so when Kat said I can talk about anything.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Monique Terry Crews, anybody that's been on my platform now,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: there have been people that says, Shannon, I would really
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: like to stay away from this. No problem, You've been
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: in the business ten, fifteen, thirty years.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: You're more than that. Detail cool, but it was unbelievable.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Cat and what I've told people this cat did for
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: me what television did for sporting events, because before the
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: television it was on radio. You can only hear it,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: but now you could see it. Kat Williams gave me
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: an opportunity. People could see Club Shasha. Now they know
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: what I do and that people have to take me serious.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: A lot of times we lead with our emotions. Can
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: you talk to us about the moment that you had
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: with Skip? If I were you, I would have jumped
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: on Skip. But I'm got you didn't. But can you
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: tell everyone here tonight how did you persevere through that
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: moment to lead you to now being a king of media.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It wasn't what he said, It was who said it? Gotcha?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: You saying that my career is in starm Brady? Is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that fine?
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: I don't really know you like that. But Skip and
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: I have spent seven years together. There are certain things
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: that I believe. Just believe that there.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You work with somebody long enough, you know.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: And for me, if I lose a debate, I lose
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: a debate, I'm not gonna attack anybody personally. It's like
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: anything you in a relationship. You have a disagreement, as
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: long as you don't make it personal. I think the
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: person can understand, well, I disagree with what you said.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: And that's what really hurt me the most is because
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: Skip and I had been together for seven years. I
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: had protected him in situation when people tried to attack
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: him and I wouldn't allow it. And for that moment,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: because he felt he was losing the debate, he felt
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: he could attack me personally. That's what hurt the most.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: It wasn't what he said, it was who said it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: So that Cat Williams interview goes crazy.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: You get seventy million views, were you able to ten
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: x the revenue as far as sponsorships and corporate relationships?
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Because we saw it Call Me Daddy one hundred and
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: twenty million, We saw it Your Rogan one hundred million.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: We see a lot of these podcasts getting you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: these crazy multiples, but they're not black podcasts most of
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the time. So I'm always interested to know how did
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you with one of the biggest shows in the world.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: How did that look like as far as.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Your brand partnerships, your revenues, your your ad dollars.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: It well, you said ten x, try fifteen x. It's
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: been great. People know that people watch my podcast they
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: listen to my podcast. And that's what advertisers know at
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the end of the day, who's watching, who's listening? They
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: you know, we have analytics that can tell you who's listening,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: how long they're listening for, who's watching. Actually, Club Shay
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Sha as far as more people seventy eight percent of
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: the people that watch Club Sha Sha watching on the television. Wow, really,
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: advertising sponsors, Hold on, you mean to tell me people
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: sit down and they watch this. They're not watching this
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: on the go. It's almost like appointment TV. You remember
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: back in the nineties when Martin and all those great sitcoms,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: people made it a point, Oh, I can't go out tonight.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Martin is on, I can't go out tonight in Living
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Color Zone.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I can't do this.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: And so that's what people have made Club Shay shape
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: of appointment TV. Advertisers they see that, Okay, let me
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: see you, dick. Hold on, you mean to tell me
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: you're doing twenty million impressions, you're doing you're doing fifteen
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: twenty million views on five different platforms.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, how can we help? And so that's what it
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: comes down to.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: It comes down they want to know who's watching for,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: how long, and how can you help them.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: You're a hell of a hard worker, have been your
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: whole career.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: For those who want to be in the seat that
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: you're in tonight, can you give them the truth about
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: how much work and how long it takes to become
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: the success that you are today. Because on Instagram it
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: looks like, hey, if I start a business and the
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: year I'll be famous, I'll be popular, I'll be rich.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: But we know that's not the case. That's not the case.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: I tape First Take on Mondays and Tuesdays. I tape Nightcap,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Sunday nightday night, Thursday night, Saturday night. That's six I
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: take anywhere between two and three shows of Club Shay
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Shape a week, so that's eight to nine shows, sometimes
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: ten shows in a week. But I also have a
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: meetings with Laportier. I also have meetings that we're meeting
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: with companies about doing scripted and unscripted game shows, sitcoms.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Things of that nature.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: So I'm constantly going and pray and stop, and it's hard.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: It's draining on a relationship. And so that's the hardest
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: part is that what do you want to do? How
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: successful do you want to become? Because there's really no shortcutting.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: There's really no secret. It's hard effing work, and look,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: it's not for everybody. Some people says, well, I want
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: to balance, I want a family life, and I want
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: to That's fine.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I don't begrudge you for that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: But I'm trying to secure five generations and I'm starting
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: with me. So I want my kids, my grandkids, my
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: great grandkids, my great grandkids.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I want them not to have to worry about anything. Now.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna leave them enough money. Now they if it up,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: that's on them. But I am gonna do my part
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: to make sure my kids. My community I'm gonna give
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give Savannah State. I'm gonna give them their cut.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna make sure things that that's gonna help my
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: community flourish long after I'm gone. I'm gonna give them
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: their cut. That's my purpose. Now I finally understand what
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: my purpose is. For the longest time, I really thought
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: my only purpose was to play football, make sure get
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: my grandmother out of that raggedy house.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: But over the last several years, God has given me
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: a vision that I have a higher purpose than that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Now this is black Eye so I got to ask
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: how you had a conversation in a relationship. I know
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: my purpose, but you don't have enough time for when
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: she wants to go out. Right, Ladies, y'all don't want
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: to be hearing that shit right, So how do you
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: have that conversation and still stay on your purpose and
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: manage to relationship?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: As the Lord knows, I don't know.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: That individual has to understand, and it's not easy. It's
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: really not easy, and it's not for everybody. Everybody says
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: they can be number two until they asked the call
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: to be number twos. Oh, I can do that, shut out,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: That ain't no problem. I'm gonna support you.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Then all of a.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Sudden things happen. Okay, I get an interview. I got
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: to fly to town and I gotta get this interview. Well,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: why you no, they don't work on your schedule. You
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: work on the talent schedule. So when Kat Williams or
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Steve Harvey or whomever says I can do an interview
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: on Thursday to be and I can do it on Thursday, Okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: I gotta get on the flight and I gotta go
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: down there Thursday. So now I gotta fly to wherever
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: they are, whether the interview schedule, I got to do
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: that interview. But my guy right here, my career, any guy,
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: he's got his kid. We got to set that up
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: because we got to do nightcap also, So it's really
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: difficult to have a relationship. But the question is what's
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: important to you? And right now, work is the most
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: important thing to me. And I don't I make no
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: bones about that. I don't make any apologies about that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: And you know that clip that you had, I really
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: resonated when you said that there is no balance.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, there's no balance to greatness. There's no balance.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Anybody that tells you their balance to greatness, they're not great.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Look at Lebron James. Lebron James is a perfect example.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Savannah says, I didn't want to be in the public eye.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I want to support my husband and raise a family.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Look at anyone that's ever achieved greatness. Now I'm not
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: talking about now. I mean once you get seventeen twenty
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: thirty one hundred billion dollars, it's easy to sit back.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: But ask them that question when they were growing that company,
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: as Jeff bezo Worth, their balance when he was taking
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: a losses for ten fifteen years on Amazon. Ask anybody
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: that's ever grown anything is their balance?
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: There is there's no balance when it comes to greatness.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: And look, like I said, a lot of people says, well, Shannon,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: that's not my life. I want to have a normal
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: nine to five. I want to see my kids grow up.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: By golly, go do you by hey. I don't regret you,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: and I'm not gonna judge you, judge you, but all
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: I ask is extend me the same courtesies that extend
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: you by not judging you.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: You've been around a lot of greats.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Your brother of course, lay Ray, What are some commonalities
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: you see in those who are the greatest and sports
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: and now in media in terms of work at the obsession?
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Tell me more you look at you hear stories Kobe Lebron,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Mike Jordan's all the greats Oprah, no matter who you
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: hear the term obsession when I talk to people that
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: that's in this space, mister beast and everything.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: There's an obsession that comes along with being great. When
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: you come work, tell me what your passions are? Man,
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: You know I you can't work for me. You can't.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: You got to be passionate about something. I don't give
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: a damn what it is, but I need you to
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: be passionate about something. I need you to be obsessed,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: because what makes you jump out of bed. This is
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: what makes me jump out of bed. I was I
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: knew I was always gonna be great at whatever I
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: did because I loved it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: It's what made me like man, I can't wait to
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: wake up in the morning and go practice and go
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: play football.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I go to bed with that same passion. Man.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to get up in the morning to
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: do first take. I can't wait to get up to
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: do night cap. I can't wait to see who who
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: did the booker's book this week for me to have
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: on Club Shayshaye. Yes, I love talking to comedians, but
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: I love talking to a lot of different people. And
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: I think the thing that's really helped club Shay shape
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: is that when you a lot of times people know
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: me from sports, but if you notice I don't have
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of sports.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Figure z. Yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: And so you got to be obsessed. I mean people
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: that work for me, they are obsessed. They know that's
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: the only way you can continue to work for me.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not afraid to move on because the train's gonna
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: I'm the driver now.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: If you want to ride, we go in places. But
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I dropped your ass off.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: You're one of the few athletes that have become a
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: strength more popular after sports.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: A lot of times people once their career is over
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: it they have like an identity crisis of trying to
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: figure out themselves. Right, how have you been able to
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: reinvent yourself and be more relevant after your playing career
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: than ever?
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Because football was what I did, it wasn't who I am,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: And a lot of times.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: When athletes that's who they are.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: They're a football play, they're a basketball player, and everything
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: they're fiber they're being is.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Tied to that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: That gave me an opportunity to get my family out
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: of that environment. But I always knew I was so
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: much more than that, and so now I just applied
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: the same skills, the same discipline, the same dedication, the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: same determination.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: The same obsession with I had in football to what
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I do now and.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Starting out didn't make a whole lot of money in
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: the podcast because I read a quote the other day
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: that says, if you do more work than what you're paid,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: you eventually be paid more than work that you do
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: a little, and so I took that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: He says, if you work, if you work more than
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: what you're paid, you'll eventually get paid more than the
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: work that you do. I remember working the job twelve
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: hours a day, making five dollars. I remember catching chickens
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: a dollar one thousand, catching sixteen thousand chickens. I'm eight
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: years old and I'm a dollar one thousand dollar a
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: fous It was eight of us. It was like me,
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: my brother, four of my first cousins, and three other guys.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: We go into a chicken house. We take a flash light.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Now we mind you. We work from seven until six o'clock.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: We get an hour off for lunch.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: We come home.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: We played basketball. My uncle would come pick us up.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: We worked for the clacking and portry plant. Nine o'clock
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: by he come pick us up by eight thirty. Eight
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: eight thirty. It's gonna take us an hour to get
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: to where we go. And we go into Blacksley, black
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: share of country. Places like that. We wait make sure
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: it's dark. So about nine thirty we open up the
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: chicken coop the chicken house, put a flash light turn
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: it upside down, and we come in start catching chickens.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Three in one hand, three in the other.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: We'll clean out sixteen thousand, sixteen thousand chickens in about
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: four hours.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Go home, Get home at about one thirty in the morning.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Hey, get some sleep, go to school, or work the
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: summer job, because we did that year round. And so
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: I was like, man, this is what I tell a
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: lot of athletes and a lot of kids that I
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: talk to. Work a lot of different jobs when you're young,
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: because it'll tell you what you don't want to do.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: If that thing is back breaking as a child, imagine
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: when you get twenty five, imagine when you get thirty,
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: imagine when you get forty. If it's breaking your back
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: as a child, you don't want no parts of that
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: as an adult.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: And that's what it taught me.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Catching chickens, loading watermelons, baling hay, picking up pecans, clipping onions, tomatoes.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: I don't want no part of that with no insurance. Oh,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: if you don't work, you don't get paid.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Oh hell no. Real.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: If there's any athletes in here tonight, can you walk
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: us through your formula for how much money you would
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: save versus how much you would spend.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I know you talked about this before, but what's the.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Ratio of how much money they should be putting away
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: for a raindy day?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Because rainny day has always come.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: They're coming for me now. I spend very little money
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: on myself, my job in twenty eleven. I know you
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: guys are told I've told. I'll know you've heard the story,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: but I want to tell it what you be, So
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: bear with me. My grandmother who raised me, she raised
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: my mom's nine and she took my mom's three and
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: she raised them as if there were her own. My
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: grandmother was in the nursing home. They came down to
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: do a story on me because I was going into
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Pro Football Hall of Fame. And as the guy was
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: writing the story about we left and we went to
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: my high school, went to the old house, saw some
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: of the places I used to go as a kid.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: So when we get back to the nursing home, my
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: grandmother is crying. So I'm going in the room first
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: in my the reporter is going to come in the
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: room and I'll stop it. So my grandmother's crying, and
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: I know my grandmother, she doesn't like to see. She
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: never wanted to see, wanted me my brother to see
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: her cry because she had to be strong because there
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: was no dominant mail figure in the house. My grandfather
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: died when I was eight, so my brother was a
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: dominant mail figure. So my grandmother was the strongest woman
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: that I've ever known. So she's crying, and I remember
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: going in the room and I got my grandmother in
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: my arms like that, and I'm holding my grandmother and
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: she's looking at me and she's just crying. I said, Granny,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: what's wrong? And she's just crying. She doesn't say anything.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: And it dawned on me why my grandmother was crying.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I said, Granny, you can go. I said, Granny, you
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: can go.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I got it. I say you and Papa raised me.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: I got livid, I got spanky, I got my mama,
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I got my kids. Go home, Grannie. Three days later,
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: my Grandma's passed. She just needed to know her baby
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: had it. So now my job is to make sure
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: Libby Sterling.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: My kids, my mom. I got it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: This ain't about Shannon Shannon Good. I don't need another
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: new car. I don't need I might need some jewelry, though, Man,
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: I don't need another car. I want to make sure,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: I said, Libby, that's my older sister.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: She raised me.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: My brother and sister. We got a very different dynamic.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: My sister's eight years older than me, my brother's three
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: years older than me. But my sister took on the
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: mom roll. Because my sister gave me a bathroom, but
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: I couldn't bathe myself. My sister got me dressed when
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I couldn't dress myself. The only person that I've ever
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: wanted to be like in my life was my brother.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: See my grandfather.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Say, boy, if you got to look past this dinner
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: table to find a role model, you in the wrong
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: damn house. So everything that I saw, that's what I
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: wanted to be. So now, the man that that you
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: see before you today, the fifty six year old that
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: grew up with no indoor plumbing, no running water, seament floor,
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: send the block a thousand square feet, sometimes ten people
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: in the house, is a byproduct of what they did to.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Make sure I became the man that I became.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: So my job now is to make sure everybody that
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Mary Reporter was concerned about, and she couldn't go home
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: until she found peace knowing that her baby had it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: See I slept with my grandmother until I was fifteen
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: years old. I didn't get out of the bed with
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: my grandmother until my brother went to college. See, my
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: grandmother and grandfather didn't sleep together. My brother slept with
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: my grandfather. I slept with my grandmother. When my grandfather passed,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: my brother slept in the bed by himself, and I
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: stayed with my grandmother.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I was close.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: I didn't go out. We playing football game. I done
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: let somebody ask up, Hey, Sean, what you gonna do.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: I'm going home to Granny. Got she home alone. We
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: played basketball game. I done drop thirty forty on somebody
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: to go home and take care of Granny. So that
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: relationship I needed her to know Granny I got it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And once I said Granny, I got it, she was
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: able to go.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: So now I wake up every morning knowing the responsibilities
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: that I have because I want my brother to go
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: to bed.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I got you, my sister go to bed. I got you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: My kids.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Now, this is what I tell my kids. I'm last choice.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: I'm not first option. Said again, I'm last choice.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not first option. That's good.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Now, I didn't send you to school to come say well, no,
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I need you to figure it out.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Now. If you can't figure.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: It out, I'm gonna let you struggle a little bit.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's the whole purpose. That's how you learn
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: its struggle. But they've done a great job. Most of
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: my kids, my oldest daughters in HR, my youngest daughter
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: is in residency, she's a doctor, my son's in medical sales.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: They've done a great job.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: But I just need them to know I'm not your
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not your personal ATM.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not your debit card.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: You're gonna figure this issh out because that's what I
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: sent you to school for. That's what me and your
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: mom did. We raised your right you can figure this
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: thing out. And so for me now it's not about me.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: I spend very little money on myself other than overhead
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: because you know, obviously, when you run a company and
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: you got people that have where you have responsibility, you
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: have employees that you set up with for one kid,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: and healthcare is things of that nature. But right now
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: I just want my I want my brother, my sister,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: my mom, my kids. I want them to go to
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: bed and never ever have to worry about a bill
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: clapping her for that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Before we leave, I just want I want to ask you,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: cause you know, you get a lot of love, but
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: you get some hate too. Yeah, and everybody gets hate,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: and some people deal it in different ways. How are
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: you able to navigate the you know, the hate, the
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: little sneak this in, stay focused and block out the noise.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: It was difficult because I had never gotten this kind
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: of vitrioll. You know, when you play a professional sport,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: you know the opposing team's fan base is gonna help
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: you hate you because you one of their good You
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: want of the better players on the team that they're facing.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So I got that, but this all of a sudden,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: you know, the lies. I don't post a whole.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Lot of my I don't really post personal life because
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: I believe if you date privately, you can break up privately.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: If you date publicly, you got to break up because
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: when you post all that they gonna see. Oh, she
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: unfollowed him, He unfollowed her, So now everybody's in your business.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: I don't post anything that I don't want you to see.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: So I don't post any relationship because I don't want
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: you to know whether or not I'm in a relationship.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: And so the problem that I have is that people lie,
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: and people start to believe that repetitions of a lie
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: is the truth, and people will tell a lie so
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: much others will start.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: To tell that lie.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: For him, that's a fact that what's happened. Oh he's gay,
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Oh he did this. Oh he's messy. Oh he's Wendy Williams.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I hope I can have a career as long as
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Wendy Williams. Hopefully she get better. She's not in the
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: best help. But Wendy was great at what she did.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: We having a conversation. I asked you a question. You
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: tell me how am I being messy? I asked him
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: a question.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: He told me facts.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: But the problem is, it's not that I'm messy. It's
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: that kat Williams elevated me to a place that they're not.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: That's what that's about. So I had to learn.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: My sister, who's a lot more religious than I am.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: She's like, Shannon, you cannot fight every battle. Let God
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: handle it. So while they sneak this'n the money piling
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: up and talk to talk to me, y'allna talk about
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: our message.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: But oh you didn't what, Oh you didn't make this?
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what I don't understand is that if you
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: notice on my platform Nightcap or club Shaysha, I never
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: mentioned anybody else. I don't mention what you're doing because
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: I don't care, because you're not my competition.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: When I walked, when I laid my head on that
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: pill at night, I know I did the best job
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: I did, could could have done. Interview in the said individual,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: I know I done the best job I could. Oh
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Joe and I doing Nightcap.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: I don't like, I'm not taking a shot at you, bro,
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: especially if you look like me, because I want you
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: to get money too.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: We all tried. They're a pool of money out here,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: and we all can get some of it.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: But what I've learned is that is that they they
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: they gonna get theirs, but they just don't want me
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: to get any I'm like, bro, if I get five dollars,
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: I didn't take anything from you, because there's a good
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: chance those advertising and sponsors wanted someone different than yourself.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: And that's okay. But that's that was the hardest thing,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: is to like turn the other cheek and to let
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: it slide, because you know, people they were like they
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: people would disguise their true feelings and jokes. You gotta
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: be careful and what I've got And I told you
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: a lot of hating them jokes. Hey, and I said,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: what is joke to you is death to someone else.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I say, so while you trying to you, trying to
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: be slick with it, I say, bro, don't do that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: I said, Now, if you saw me, you and not
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: having a conversation, you gonna walk up to me and
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: say what you said on your podcast. If not likely,
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: if you can't do that, why you saying it on
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: your podcast because you got the security the protection of
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: the security screen. So I'm saying, all these people that
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: said what they said, if you saw me in public,
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: you're gonna walk on to me and say what you're saying.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Come on with it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Given this fall from grace, do you feel bad for
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: a Skip or did you use that tumultuous moment to
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: rise and just check ass after that?
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Come on, be with me.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: The way I grew up, the way my grandmother raised
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: me and my grandfather for the first eight years, but
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: my grandmother raised me.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I felt.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: That I could be successful and Skip could be successful. Okay,
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I just realized we can no longer be successful together.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: It's not that I don't want him to eat. It's
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: just that he and I'm not gonna eat off the
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: same plate anymore.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I love it. Eat whatever comes to you. I want you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: I want Skip to be successful. I appreciate the opportunity.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: That he gave me.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: But my grandfather told me something when I was very
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: very young. He say, boy, don't be a slave to loity.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: And sometimes again, don't be a slave to loyalty. Sometimes
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: sometimes you ever noticed people to do things for you,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: and all they do is constantly remind you of it.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: So why the hell you do it? If you need
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: to constantly remind me of what you've done for me?
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: And so I don't want I didn't want people to
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: think that I'm ungrateful for the opportunity that Skip gave me,
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: because he did give him an opportunity. He went to
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: bat for me because there was some Fox execs that
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: didn't think I could do what I did.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And so I will forever, forever be indebted to him
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: for what he did.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: But I had refused to be no longer be indebted
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: to lority, And sometimes that's what happens. I will Skipped
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: the best I haven't taught off the Skip since I
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: left undisputed. As a matter of fact, I haven't talked
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: to anybody in upper management since I left.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I'm still cool with Wardrobe. I'm still cool.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: I can go name or name of everybody that I
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: had conversations with my main eight years. I didn't really interact. Look, guys,
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I'm a type of guy. I come to work, I
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: go home. Yeah, I would get to work an X
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: amount of time. You can sit your block clock by me.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Now I needed to be at that light. Why it
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: is green, so I can make that right. Because if
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: I didn't, I was gonna get stuck at the light,
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: and I was gonna be at the job three more minutes.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I didn't try to trying to get that light. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: come in, I do my job, I undress, hang my
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: clothes up.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: I got to get home, get back to the dogs,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: feed them, let them out, get ready to go work out.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: So now I have no ill will to ward Skip.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I'm sure one day we'll cross pass. Absolutely, we'll sit
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: down and we'll have a conversation. Because but we had
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: a great seven year run. We had a great, great
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: seven year run, and it came to an end. And
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: am I sad about that? Yes, I'm sad how it ended,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: not that it ended how. But like I said, I'm
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: sure one day we'll cross pass and we'll talk about
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: the great times. But I just refuse anything, even relationship
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: with skipped, or even a personal relationship. I was in
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: a relationship for ten years. The last year and a
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: half wasn't great, but I won't allow the last year
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: and a half to ruin the previous eight and a half.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: So I won't allow five six months of skipping. I
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: we going back and forth and it got to the
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: point that we needed to be separated. I won't allow
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: that to ruin the great times that we had because
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: I think we did great TV and he gave me
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: an opportunity. Laportier doesn't happen, Club Shaysha doesn't happen. A
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: lot of the things that's going on positive in my
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: life doesn't happen with out him. Some of the people
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: that I've met doesn't happen without him. So I'm forever
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: grateful for this opportunity they gave me. But we needed
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: to go out separate ways. Oh, I want to thank
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: you for your time. Before we leave, Can you just
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: share some last departing words. A lot of people in
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: here are entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs, hustlers.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Before you leave, you want to just leave them with
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: some words of encouragement.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, guys, don't let someone tell you what can't be
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: done because.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: They can't do it.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: And see a lot of times you have to be
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: careful what you share with people because sometimes you're educating
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: the enemy. Say it again, Please be careful what you
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: tell people. Sometimes you're educating the enemy. Sometimes people will
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: try to talk you out of your blessing because it's
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: not potentially meant for them. You see a lot of
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: times people will sink your boat because they can't be
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: the captain.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: It's a fact.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: So you mean to tell me because I won't let
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: you drive, you gonna sink the whole damn ship.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's what I mean. I'll sink it. And so
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: for me, my circle is my circle.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: That's why there's so much speculation because nobody outside of
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: my circle really knows what Shannon does.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: And you got to keep things private. You have to.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: And I know sometimes you want to share your happiness,
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: but everybody ain't happy for you. Oh you having too
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: much fun? Oh, you making too much, You doing too much.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: I used to block people all the time. You say
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: something slick, I will block you. I stop blocking people.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: You know why. I want them to see these blessings,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: all these blessing God give it me. You need to
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: see it. I want you to see you upset now,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: but I want you to be bitter. I want you
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to be sack. So six years.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Guys, your dreams can be your reality if that's what
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: you choose to be, but you have to be obsessed
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: with it. You can't have step. It's no nine to five.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: If you were what person you know became ultra richid
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: working at nine to five, you don't work a salary
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: if that's what you want. Now, some people all I
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: want to do. I want a nine to five. I'm
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: cool with that. But me, I got tired of getting fired.
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: Y'all can't fire me from club shayshit. Y'all can't fire
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: me from not Cap because I own it. So if
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: that's what you want to do, if you want to
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: be a business owner, nine to five ain't gonna cut it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: You got to work longer than nine to five, and
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: you got to and I'm gonna leave you with this.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: You got to want it more than they want don't
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: want you to have it? Oh said it again, that's
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: a fact.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Do you want it more then they don't want you
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: to have it? I wanted so much more than they
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: want me to fail. And people, oh, boy, you doing
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: so good and all the time, boy, I show hate
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: that he's doing that. Facts people, to everybody that smile,
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: it's not your friend. Everybody that dislikes you is not
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: your enemy. You just have to pick and choose how
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: you relate to and interact with people. But for me,
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: I know who I am because a lot of time
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: people have you convinced. I'm like, Damn, did I do that?
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Did I say that? When didn see me? I had
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: to know that I did. I'm who I am. I'm
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: proud of who I am.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna remain steadfast and who I am knowing that
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: I have a higher calling. But man, my sister told me,
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: says Shannon, do you think you could be as successful
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: as you are if you had more haters than supporters?
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: It ain't possible. It ain't possible. Pos So for me,
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: go get what you just go. No, you don't get
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: what you deserve. You get what you earned, So stop saying,
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: well I deserve No, you don't deserve anything.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: What did you earn.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: I've earned the right to be in this position by
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: how I've treated people in business. The number one ruling
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: business is what you need to know is relationships. If
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: you think it's anything else, you're fool of yourself. It's
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: about relationships because a lot of the things like, hey man,
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: they're at these companies, they're at FREEDO lay, they're at
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: this and that. They're like, you know what, I had
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: an interaction with you ten years ago, and the way
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: you treated me when I wasn't in the position that
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: I am now told me everything that I needed to
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: know about you as a person.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: And that's why I want to do business with you.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: I said. In fact the volume, Jamie Horriwitz was my boss.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: He runs the volume. I want you. I know you're
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: hard working.
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: A lot of the people that I do business with
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: now I've had previous relationships with and they weren't in
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: the position that they are now. Relationships are the most
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: important thing in business, not money, relationships, because you can't
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: get to the money if you don't have great relationship
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: with people.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: That's a good point, so make some noise for the
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: legendary snags.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

  Speaker 7: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: never return. But if you read using our CBP home
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: border and families.
