• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Why the model as far as getting money to creators
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: from day one, why is that so important? And if
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: this works, how is it going to change the landscape
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: of social media?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well, the first thing I think about is disruption. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: if you're not pissing people off, then you're doing something wrong.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So the first thing when I got the kind of
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the idea to really to even build the company, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: knew that this is going to disrupt industries because people
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: are always talking right now about TV and film music.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: We're having all these conversations about how these how artists
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: aren't getting paid enough for streaming. How athletes aren't getting
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: paid like the college players just got nil to be
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: able to do those kinds of things we're seeing. You know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: movie stars get their TV shows canceled, you know Easter Rays,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: rap shits getting getting take off, and now she needs
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to go independent because she can own her content and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. So for me, it's like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I don't If I don't create an environment or an
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: infrastructure where the community can own and monetize from day one,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it actually puts no limits because it circumvents all the industries.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: The fact that you can pick up your phone and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: subscribe directly to a person changes business for every single
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: person on the planet. Always say this, there's nobody that's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: on fan Base that is not a business. A business
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is a business ability to receive revenue or income for
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a product or service you provide. So for that very reason,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: by default, every single person on fan Base is a business.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And so I think that the ability for us to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: generate revenue from day one, we don't have to figure
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it out. Their apps out here that have not figured
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it out, that are clubhouses not figured out how to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: generate revenue there's a lot of these startups that are
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in the social media space have not figured out how
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to make revenue but going to direct a consumer and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: allowing the user to decide what they want to pay for.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And we're seeing that with younger kids anyway. And that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: another thing too, it's paying like the future is, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: know I was talking about when you see ky snot
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Kai is twenty twenty one, twenty two years old, he
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: has about eighty five thousand subscribers to making four hundred
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month. I can't see that as a
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: human being and not say I could do this as
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: an athlete. I could do this as a musician. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: don't have to be a gamer. It doesn't matter. People
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: don't want to see the kind of they want. So
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it's extremely important that you know, we we provide a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: new way for people to monetize directly consuming to circumvent
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: all these these pillars that that block and rob artists
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and and athletes and and and in movie stars and everybody,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's pretty evident, right, that's the way
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: we can see cause and I we can see it
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: what the athletes creating their own platforms, right, we just
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: in Lebron he has a podcast.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Now, Draymond comes to mind.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: What do you think is gonna take for that drastic
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: change for people to say, alright, we're not gonna go
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: with the traditional ways of social media. Something like fan
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: base makes too much sense for us not to be
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: part of.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I think the first person that and I I'm looking
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: at Kai now cause again it's it's so it's so
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: interesting to me that he's making more money streaming with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: subscribers than rappers are making recording an album, putting it
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: out and going and doing shows. Like it's like, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: can still do that, but there's still a lifestyle and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a personality that's involved of every We're all humans, so
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: we all have social lives and funny and humor or whatever.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So to be able to monetize that, I think that
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it'll shift when someone like him. And I've seen this before,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Like again, there are these moments that happen that just
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: have me scratching my head, like I can't believe no
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: one is picking up on the fact that Bad Baby
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: made forty million dollars in a year, you know for subscribers,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Cosinot is making four hundred thousand dollars a month up subscribers,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and everybody's just not dropping a plate of food. Let
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the the plate break and shatter and say, wait, what
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: did not just here? Hold on, I'm not finna, I'm
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: not finished. I'm not going to do all this extra
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: shit when I can just really create and live and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: exist on social media and have fun and then and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: then monetize and and and still you know, have the same,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you know, the same experience.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So do you think that this will be beneficial for
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the every average day person, right, because everybody thought it'd
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: be costing not. Yeah, So the average person that has
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a thousand followers, Yeah, they're not gonna make a lot
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: of money. So why does fan base make sense to them?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Well? First, okay, so I'm gonna say this because I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: gonna talk about the investment portion real quick. When I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: first started to on start Engine, the minimum to invest
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in fan base was two hundred and forty five dollars, right,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the minimum to invest in fan base now it's three
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety nine dollars. It's the minimum to invest
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: start engine dot comflas fan base shout out. But what
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I say is more important than that is that there
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: are hundreds, no thousands of users on fan base that
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: have made the money using fan base that they invested
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in fan base. So it's not about I'm not telling
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: everybody to get on here and think that you're going
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to be a multimillionaire. But I do believe that most
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: people have enough money to make monthly the ability to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: pay their rent or you know, to get gas or
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: put food in refrigerator. I see people making that amount
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of money. I see a user, you know, making There's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a user that's made ten thousand dollars this year that
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: has less than thirty five hundred followers, an extra ten
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year like the average american's ally's forty
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. You're making a quarter of what you would
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: have to do to get to make the bare minimum
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: as a salary in this country. Just making content. And
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it's it's not like you have to sit live and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: stream all day long. You post content. People subscribing, they
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: make that money. So if I can make somebody, if
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I can make enough money to put gas in my
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: car just by posting content, I'm with it. If I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a young kid, of course I would do that. If
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I can feed feed myself. I don't have to. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: then that's just that's like one hundred subscribers. Again, if
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: you know, you get five thousand people, five thousand people
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: are a small number of people when there's six billion
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: people on the planet. For five thousand people paying you
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: two thousand and fifty cents a month, it's twelve thousand,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: five hundred a month, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a year. That's more than ninety seven percent of Americans make.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And that's just five thousand people. So it's like, it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: not you know, if if we took that down, like
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I said, we took that down to five hundred people,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you're still making fifteen thousand dollars a year. Who wants who? Who?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Who wants to turn extra fifteen thousand dollars a year
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: in America? Like just about making content. It's like it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it's a no brainer to me.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: We spoke two years ago from your first interview and
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: from all the signs, right, people are making money. Right
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: functuates depending on the user, how many people uh followers
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: they have, the.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Company's making money and it's profitable.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I ask you then, So I ask you now mergers
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: and acquisitions is always a part of business.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have the phones been ringing?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Even more so as you continue to innovate, as you
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: continue to what I see you disrupt social media in
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: a sense where you can start revolutionizing thing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Have the phone calls been coming in just for no,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why. Yeah, And because fan base
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: is a I always say there's two phases to success
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: in building businesses. It's to beat him phase and it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to join them phase. We're still in beat them mode.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: They're still sitting back, like I'm want to see here
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: really gonna raise his seventeen million dollars and really like
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: change the game and the way that he does. One
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: thing people, one thing that Trump's race is green is money.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: And so I and I think I've had the best,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: like you know example in someone seeing the way that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Tyler Perry built his business. At first it was our
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: beat him. Then it was like, oh well, now we
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: got to join him. You know, at some point in
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the beginning there were no deals, but then it was
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: TBS and it was a lion's game. There was owned
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and then it became Netflix and Amazon and now it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: like okay, cool, it's BT's like okay here, so fan
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: base is always until we get the we're gonna be
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: in the beat him phase because this is this is
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: majorly disruptive in the way that I say all the time. Again,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it's like, I think that this is one of the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: most pivotal moments in technology, social media, and wealth building
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: because we've never been here before. Like you cannot name
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a time that there's been a social media company that's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: been founded that allows the public to invest. So now
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: anybody without restriction can actually own part of something that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they use, and then there's no limit into how fast,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: you know, or how big these companies can get. When
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you're looking at Facebook as a market cap of two
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: point two trillion dollars, I'm not even thinking about two trillion.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, granted, like cool, I think Facebook is something
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that's like a one in a lifetime, you know company,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: But there's still companies. Even if you remove Instagram from Facebook,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: it's still a three hundred billion dollar company, you know
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. If you're looking at TikTok separated from bytdance,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: it's still probably one hundred two hundred billion dollar company
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: just evaluated one sixty. Yeah, So I'm like, do you understand,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Like how how okay? So now so think of that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So think of now one hundred and sixty billion dollar
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: company that's owned by people that look like us. We
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: ain't never been there before. I don't even know who
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the richest black person on the planet is. I'm only
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: worm like nineteen billion. What's the riches about nineteen billion?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Legal didn't go to Yeah, yeah, like nineteen billion. So
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying like, yo, we ain't never. We ain't never.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And my point is for us to really build and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: make and transform wealth, not only is it. And my
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: goal is not to be worth more than nineteen billion.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: My goal is to create ten or fifteen other people
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that are worth are multi billionaires because technology is the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: fastest way. I heard Robert at Smith say this. He's like,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: technology is the fastest way to do it wealth. In
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: this textrum, it's like all the eight of the top
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: ten richest people on the planet are in technology Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and Eli with Tesla in acts is like, it's like, yo,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: those are all the people. Only people. Bernard or naw
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: is the number one guy and he owned every other
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: brand in existence. And you know in the Berkshire Hathaway.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. But it's technology. So we're
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in a we're in an unprecedented amount of a time
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: because ownership and equity in these in these tech companies.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: These are companies that can be worth one hundred billion,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you know, like one hundred billion dollars, one hundred and
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: sixty billion dollars. It's totally achievable. But we've never been
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: there before. And I think, you know, I think we
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: have the the the unique opportunity to begin I was
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: telling I was telling people here today. I was like, Yo,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: we get this wrong. You can't. Don't blame me because
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it's literally here for us to take advantage of. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: that's why, you know, the rays that we're doing was
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: so important because it gives it there's no excuses. Once
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I raise seventeen million dollars, I give everybody everything that
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: they want. I give every If you want certain songs,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: you want, certain functionalities, you want, certain features you want,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I can give you that in a year, like by
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the end of the year, I can give you most
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of the things that you want, and then we get
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to do the things that I want to do. There's
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: some of the things that I talk about, Like we
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: just launched branded audio on web and I was like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: no doing that, And that's what I'm saying, Like, Man,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: if they're not doing this, there's so many other ideas
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that are available that we can do. So I'm like, again,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be in beta phase until they say, Okay,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: now we gotta go invest in it, because obviously he's
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: gonna keep going. So.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

• 13:27
  Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
