• 2:28
  Speaker 5: to see what you've done in life is incredible.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: It's amazing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: It was very hard upcoming to make a decision like that,
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: you know, in a in a business that you well,
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: in a business where Latinos always have to represent their
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: brands and show their faces and stuff like that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: It was a very challenging for me to to do that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: It still is, but you know, sometimes you have to
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: take time and represent what you have built and created.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Also because our community or Latino and when they see
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: a representation like that, they want to see who is
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: that behind I want to know how he become, how
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: he did this creative empire basically, you know that is
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: so everybody's talking about it, but nobody knows who's behind
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: the scene working on this project.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and it's more than an empire.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've created a platform that's helped feed so
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: many people. You know how many people want to get
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you know on your page, whether it's promoting from events
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to individuals to artists. I see now all the artists
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you post artists we're not going to target or talk
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: about let's just say anything. They all comment, They're all
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in the comments. I mean, everybody's it's a community. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: your page for the Latino culture has become a monster.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I mean I was I've been following you guys since
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the very beginning. I think you guys get Yeah, I've
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: got in trouble. A bunch of times with my wife following.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: That's a whole separate But but I've.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Seen your page, you know, from the beginning. Just blow
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: up and get to where it's at now. And I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: think that brings us to the first question, is taking
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: us back?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Better meto? Okay, better meto with us?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Women empowerment? Who do we have with us?
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Yes? So I brought with me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: She's my logistic from word Last Star Skyler for everybody, Hey, hi,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: hi Skyler.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Hello. Logistics is another word for lawyers. He's here.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Ye just say something that I'm not supposed to. Well,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: you want to?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So take us back to two thousand and eight. What
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: inspired you to start World Last Star.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: In two thousand and eight? Yes, the creation in August.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Remember two thousand and eight when I first boy, it
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: was kind of a mission. I don't know how to start.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: But in two thousand and eight I started for as
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: a musician, dancer and chorus from a group, a land group,
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: med Nge, you know. So I incorporated all the strategies
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: and saw everything what was going on in the entertainment
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: business and basically learned what was going on behind the
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: scenes and stuff like that, and it helped me create
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: something that would help also the young artists who wants
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: to become and help because in the industry, in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: music industry, there's not you don't get that much opportunity
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: at a time. You know, It's it's like a lottery,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: right you could that song could be hot right now,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: but you don't know later on. So there were various
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: pages and you know, news outlets, but it wasn't targeting
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: the the new talents, so it was hard for the
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: new talent. So while I was in the group, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: was seeing all the struggles. So in two thousand and a,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I decided to basically depart from the entertainment me being
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: as an artist myself, and create a platform that would
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: help new talent to evolve, you know, and by my
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: criterias of learning throughout the how does it work in
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: the industry. That's how I created the Worldline Star. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: how I started wasn't even with music, right because I
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: figured that going towards the music right away it was
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: going to be more difficult. So what I did was
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: everybody when they used to do music videos, there's always
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: a model, right, So everybody's curious, is this model American
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: or Latina?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Right? So I started doing my research.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: I was like, okay, so Pitbull and his videos always
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: have Cubans Cuban models, so I started checking their names
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: and started supporting them. So one time I saw Chris
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Brown and Lytle Wing's video and he had all Latinas
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: but nobody knew. So I discovered all of them, so
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: I started supporting them. So basically I started branding throughout
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: helping out the models and seeing that Latinas are in
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: huge music videos with you know, music artists around the
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: world that is not just basically stuck in one general
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: They you know, we have briority, so they just don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: pick their their kind, they pick also our kind. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: that's how basically it started in two thousand and me
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: supporting the models and everything. So I got with that,
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: I emerged the music, so that that's when and artists
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: like Donamar and.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Directors like Jesse Terrero started.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: Seeing that those are Latinas also, so they started merging
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: in and I was like, I want that model. So
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: it's basically was a support with them. So they were
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: starting using those type of models that like Lil Wayne T.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Pain you know, was using to encourage and move forward.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: So that's how everything started with Worldlife Star started with
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: the female.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: And just to add also, it also became a marketing
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: for the music. So when you see the page, you
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: see a model, but we put music behind it, so
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: it became a marketing. So you're looking at the video,
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: you're looking at a female, but you're looking you're also listening, right,
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: the more you listen, it's the driver of like, oh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: I like that song, and you kind of forget about
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: the model, but you.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Also go into the music as well.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: So it became a marketing tool for the music, combining
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: it with the models.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I love that, and you're covering all the questions.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I oh, he's covering.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: But you have built an incredible network and community, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: that's what you've been voicing, right. It began as that
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: and perhaps unintentionally is now dominating.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: So what was the first collaboration with an artist and
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: how did that come to be.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: The first collaboration with an artist?
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: It was wow, It was a lot. Basically I started
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: with with the with the new talents. I supported mel
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: w his his career, you know, since I the platform
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: had had was upcoming, and also he had the talent
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: I was.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I was seeing so much vision on him.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: So I was like, let me just go towards him,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: you know, let me give him that push towards him.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: And combined there as a collaboration to also have another
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: mentality so the young sees that I'm not just supporting
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: the huge artists.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I'm supporting the young talents.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: So that's what drive me to to do that collaboration
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: because the purpose of the wordline start was to help
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: the new talents, you know, that are trying and to
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: establish the self upcoming when you don't have a lot
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: of media platform that is supporting.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: You like that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: But yeah, when my first collaboration was with Mesa love.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love him.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Messia doing his thing.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: The array of trap, did you run into obstacles like
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you ran into a lot of obstacles where
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: your page would get taken down, right, And then I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: remember there was a while they disappeared for a while, right,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: or it wasn't deleted, but it was inactive.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: It was Yes, I run always with obstacles like that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: The thing is when you have a platform, I guess
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: I guess it's because it wasn't ready at the time
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: for a lot of people to understand the concept of
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Warland Star because Warland Stars started mostly in the streets.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: When I say the street is word of mouth. So
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: it was word of mouth that got everybody hyped with
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Warland Star, in which it well was probably one of
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: the questions later on that it makes it hard for
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: me to this day that people see Warland Star as
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: an influencer individual and not as a brand. So it's
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: kind of hard for me because since the street was
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: the one that build it as much because they call it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Let's say something happens in forty second Street, the first
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: thing they see lacking look at it, Yeah, l you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: so whoever listens to that things that they're speaking to
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: a person? So and that makes it contagious to people,
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: and and and that really got really towards the building
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: of the page that everybody was like, all right, so
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: let me see who's word last start, let me see who.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: But in reality is a brand that is focusing on
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: helping the community, which we contribute a lot with foundations,
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: you know, school school drives and toy drives, and you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: so it's hard for me to diverse and letting people
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: understand this is a brand, this is not a person.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, the identity.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: That's why I try not to show myself a lot
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: because then what happened is since that's some some people
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: out there think that I'm an influencer diverse what really
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: wor last Star is because it's not just music. Also,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: we also branding the news anything that happens in the world.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: So yeah, so I'm I'm still working on that challenge.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: Add also about Instagram taking down the page. Sometimes it's
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: really hard when you have a platform and you're trying
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: to really be yourself, right when we question and we
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: speak on freedom of speech or freedom of what we
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: want to express, and some people's sensitivity is a little
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: bit more higher than the others. So it takes a lot,
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: It takes a lot of learning. When the page goes down,
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: now you understand, oh, this is very sensitive to this community.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Or you know, grandmas are now using ig more than
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: the average teenager.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: So now you're like, oh, I can't be able to
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: censor myself.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: So we also take a lot of videos that you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: and we repost, right, We do a lot of reposting
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: as well, and people get sensitive to the comments that
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: the world is kind of seen out there, it might
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: be public in their page. So that's one of the
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: biggest obstacles the pages actually faces and he faces when
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: he does his day to day. Is you post something
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: in your page, it's public and it's okay. In your page,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: you control what comments are there. But when somebody reposts
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: and does that repost for you, you don't like what
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: other people have in their community. So now it's like
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: asking people permission.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Are you okay?
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: So it's really going into that legal kind of contrast,
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: like are you okay? You posted it publicly there and
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: people are tearing you apart.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Then the comments come in, yeah, yeah.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well that's social media. You just gotta have a thix.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You almost just yeah, But thick skin is not.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You really don't have thick skin.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: And it's it's really hard to define, especially with these
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: social media platforms.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Really hard because you know, let's say we pose a
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: news right, there's different opinion on everybody on whatever happened
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: at the moment, say of the president or anything. I
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: don't control what you feel to write. You know, you're
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: expressing yourself towards whatever's there. So there's people that send
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: me emails they're like, no, your page is so harsh.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, everybody's expressing their feelings. I'm not going to
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: control your feelings. We have millions in the world that comments,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: So if I stop what they want to say, then
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: I'm stopping their freedom of speech. I let everybody to
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: speak their mind because that's how they feel. I mean,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: we're going through so much in the world. So you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: so I guess in the social media when they take
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: us down, they see so.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Many people going at it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so there's like, oh, this page is you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: is bullying or stuff like that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: But we're not. It's just we're letting people to speak and.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You guys have fun a lot of times. To have
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you ever been on the page and they post.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You guys love to post, like a picture of somebody
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you say it's a different person or yes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we try to do you gotta have fun. Yes,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: to have fun.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: I know some people take it very hard, but it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: not that serious.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: But it's fun.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: It's but we're given the artists, like in the Latino world,
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: we're introducing the American Right, we have Lumiel He's a
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: dembo artist, but we call him Lil Wayne.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: We're just bringing him awareness not only to him, but
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: everyone awareness of who Lumiel is, right, and we're giving
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: him a good comparison.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: It's not like a bad comparison.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: We're like Lumie, he's our Lil Wayne in our you
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: know stands Chris Brown. Chris we love get Chris Brown,
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: and you see all the hard it's amazing, an amazing artists.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: A great compliment his.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Dancing, even though I got in trouble because I know.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: But with that you said, you know, we're a Latin
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Star is an entity and it's an umbrella because you
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: have three subdivisions to we're a Latin Star and you're
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: obviously not in all of the places around the world.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: So as an entrepreneur, what does that look like? What
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: does staffing a team of that magnitude look like?
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: It's very It's for me, it's very huge because you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: to control every area in this world, to bring at
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: least a news from each.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Is very hard.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: You know, when we started the project in two thousand
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: and eight, it was mostly focused, not focused, but mostly
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: the things that's happening in New York City, and that's
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: where wordlan Star built up as much.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: So that's why a lot of people think we're just
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: is in New York.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: No, we ran everywhere, la everywhere in the United States.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: And as we grow, I grow more continent and more
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: states within because it's hard to like you said, it's
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: hard to be everywhere and know what's happening in every
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: state or every.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Country in the world. And we travel best.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: So we have approximately one hundred and twenty staff members
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: and wardlions Star Yeah, throughout the United States right now,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: thank god. But it's not easy. And the time zones
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: because we have the right yes, the West side and
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: the East side. So it's you know, I don't sleep.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: I twenty four hours all day trying to check this
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: is good, this is not good, and it's really it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: really hard. But at the end of the day, it's
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: an accomplishment and something that I desired because I like
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: to give what the world wants to know and you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: and what they want to see.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: So this is the evolution, right it's starting off in
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: the fifty States. It's also bringing awareness of the Latinos
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: that are here in the fifty States, right, but now
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: we're branching out to like let's say Europe, Let's see
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: what's going on in Europe, because if you go to Europe,
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: there's a huge concentration of Dominicans in Europe, right, So
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: it's really bringing that evolution now that we're really working
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: on and that's the next step.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Are you guys gonna or do you have another question?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It's your show.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just sitting.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Here, Penny everybody, Penny nothing.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I'm here, Aine.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So I know you you obviously before this, like you
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: had a background in music. Are you gonna take this
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: platform and use it as a way to maybe sign
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: artists now and put out your own Is that something
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you're going to think about in the future. Since you're
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: getting this platform, you're helping so many artists break, Are
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you going to start signing your own artists and have
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: your own uh, you know, distribution?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: She's smiling for those listening to us on audio.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Good question, because definitely I am. I am in the
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: near future. But at this moment, I'm I'm involving a
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: new project, which is basically I'm using, like you said,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: our platform two to help new artists. So right now
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I'm in works of making a collaboration album. So in
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: that collaboration album, I'm mixing which the new talent with
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: the big artists, including Wordland.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Start in it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: I'm not singing, but it's basically just branding in to
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: help those new artists, and you know, to branch in
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: with the big artists that they probably can't get those
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: features on. So we're working on that and in works
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: We just got an exclusive.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: That's not the page, guys, that's definitely not.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: That's important.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: So many of our listeners are students, right and young professionals.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: What piece of advice would you have for a young
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: professional in trying to turn their passion into business.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Just go for it. If you have an idea, just
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: go for it. Just like Nike, just do it. I
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: like you have to. Don't be scared if you.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: Want to jump into being live all day like the
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: TikTokers do, just do it just like they are. They
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: are doing that and they're bringing awareness to themselves and
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: they're just branching out. Because you never want to live
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: with no regrets. You put something down in paper, you
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: strategize and just execute. And we live in an era
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: where chat GBT is our best friend.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of resources.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: So I would tell anybody that's growing up or going
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: into college and just go for it and just Google
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: dot Com all day long.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: And also don't don't try to limit yourself.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Don't don't think because let's say someone says not right now,
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: that doesn't mean that you're doing something wrong. The same
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: thing happened when I started Wordlie Star. It wasn't applicable
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: at the moment, let's say, for a lot of people.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: They were not understanding the concept. And you know, I
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: just kept going and going and it just opened door.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: And the people that basically wasn't approving what I was
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: trying to do, they're all they all liked the project.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: So it's it's basically on a timing, you know, something
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: that you probably think is gonna happen right away.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Sometimes take your.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Time, but don't take anything for granted. Just keep moving.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Don't try to basically block anybody that also has a dream.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: You know, there's also people that also want to ask
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: you something. Just because you're a Warland star. That doesn't
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: mean you could give them a tip. You know, because
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: this is open for everybody. There's millions of cars. There's
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: different types that you like, So that doesn't mean that
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I just want everybody to like me. There's other groups,
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: other ideas that other people like. So within that's why
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: I always open minded to have young students and or
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: opinion towards Warland Star. I always take opinions from the
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: young from old because you never know, you know, whatever
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: you can see right now, they probably see it, you know.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: So but yeah, so just be just go for it
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: and whatever your hart says.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: And it's about building our community right right, So there's
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: no such thing as a no. It's just maybe later, right,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: and you never know until you ask. And looking at
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: that and right now we are seeing more Latin representation, right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: and it's it's being embraced right.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Look at look at the super Bowl halftime coming head.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: The bunny ball.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Has come. So I remember uptown we used to do
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: parties with him, indictment rights.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Before you know, I'm saying back and he's performing in
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: front of one hundred people.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: And that's a person veric example of not stopping and
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: not caring what anybody says and going forward. He's one
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: that gets criticized a lot, right because if you if
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: you see how he involves right, he started that everybody's
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: like regular person. He changed his look, painting his net,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: well painted his nails, chains, everything and everybody. Each stage
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: that he had it was criticized, but he kept it moving.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: He never saw back. He was just going forward.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: So that's something that it's something to look up for
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: that you cannot just give up on anything that anybody says.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: And look who he is the number.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: One, He's the largest and the largest worldwide.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: So what does representation mean to you? Personal?
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: It means a lot for me.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Like I said in in in the in the music industry,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: there is a lot of representation right now in my world,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: which is the media.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: We need to also.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: Connect and and and and build with each other.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Not can I speak say yeah and they know that.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: You come yeah, to grow within you know, the same
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: way that a lot of music artists help each other
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: to build up and stuff, the same as the media
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: world we should also help.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: So it could build.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: Because I could have a horizon, but the other media
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: can have another horizon.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: We build it up together and we move forward, and.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: We're connecting to all our sources out there that needs
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: you know that these platforms like minds that is out there.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it does, it does right.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Unity is is what brings the key. Yep.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: So we spoke about what's next. We've spoken about album
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: drops right in the near future.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Playlist too. Definitely to have a you know, a playlist
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: on Spotify.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: And everything is on on works now with the with
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: the music also having a wordline star playlist with different.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: We could get a worldliand star on iHeart.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, definitely work on that and some mixes.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got you, I got you got your cover
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: was the man.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: He can make it happen.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: There's definitely a lot of a lot of works in
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Wardlians star with films also, and like I said, the
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: music and and our foundation for the young kids and
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: you know, to to help grow and make storry making.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Sure that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: We what I what I plan to what I want
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: to plan to do is make sure that they the
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: young see another vision that they don't see out there,
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: that it will help them move forward. And to see
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: that they don't see what what people talk about in
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: the streets is not There's also a lot of opportunities
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: that they don't see. All they see is just the
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: regular in the corner. And that's and they give up,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: you know, and and that's I want to give them
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: that hype to to move forward.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: So we are going to open it up for one
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: audience question. Do we have any questions?
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: All right, Maria, Maria.

  Speaker 4: Exciting course, right, Clara.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: So when you get up.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: In the morning and you're having a great day, what
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: do you do myself? First?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: And it's not a coffee drinker.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: The first thing I do in the morning to get
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: myself motivated, Wow.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Check Instagram.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Well, yes, I check Instagram, but since I usually have
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: everything planned before I go to sleep, so I try
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: to you know, everybody wants to wake everybody want to
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: wake up.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: They got to know that they're going to their nine
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: to five of their job.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: So I try to have something funny in the morning
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: to post on Instagram. So it's basically somethings for people
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: to get out or I could just post something that
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: you're not expecting. Let's say is that I'm gonna give
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: you an example. Let's say Catto Gee did something and
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: her tour, but I put Chloe Kardashian was in Columbia
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: dropping an album, so you're like what. So it's like,
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: you know, it catch you up guard. So it makes
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: you feel like your day is gonna go smooth, because
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: if you're if you just woke up like.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: So in a in a bad mood.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: But that just unless you're a Carol g fan. Now
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you're mad for the rest of it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: So it didn't want that don't mean that you your
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: mind vas everything. So basically my motivation is is that
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: seeing when I I'm trying to make people laugh or
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: or you know, basically deviating them to focus on their
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: whole entire day. When I get call in the morning,
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: I do something like that, I'm thinking it's an emergency, like,
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: oh my god, they're in the bathroom. I'm like, you're
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: in the bathroom watching Instagram and they're like, Yo.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: You just made my day.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: I just had this weird call. And I'm like really.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: But it's that that makes me happy, things like that.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: And also you know, seeing my kids go to school
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: in the morning, waking up, seeing my wife in the morning.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: So and that's also motivating because it helps me a
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: lot to work harder each day.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Family first, Yes, right, is it me? Okay? Great?
