• 1:00
  Speaker 3: When I decided I was done practicing law because I
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: actually felt limited by it. I felt very limited by
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: practicing law. I wanted to help my clients in more ways,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and my business was growing faster than some of my clients,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: my law practice clients. And they'd be like, how are
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you getting all these lives? How are you making this money?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, let me tell you. And then a friend,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: another friend pulled me aside shout out to our friends
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: who check us. She was like, listen, you need to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: be charging for all that free business advice you've given.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: They paying for contracts, Okay, they ain't paying for all
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that business advice. And so I started doing that and
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: that's how I got into coaching, and then I used
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: that same thing to build Hello seven. I just built
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: what I wanted to see, and you know, use my
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: authentic self right as the brand.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Right, that is the brand you right, you your vibe.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And I think we think we need to do something
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: extra or we need to be something else. No, No,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: your uniqueness is actually what attracts people to you. That's
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: that's what makes the brand you know, interesting and lasting.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: If you try to be somebody else, it's going to
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: be whack.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: If you be the best version of your There's only
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: one of you, right, Only I can do Rachel Rogers
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: right to the best of my ability. And so the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: more I do that and the more I bring that
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to what I do, the more people are attracted. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to me, like the special sauce is literally you your personality.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I think our actual personalities are the basis of our brands.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: I want to just say something about that because that's
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: extremely important. Yes, really get comfortable with yourself and embrace
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: yourself because a lot of times when people are looking
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: for marketing campaigns, they're trying to become something else, yes,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: and they're looking to mimic somebody else's success.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Following with that is that you're always going to be
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: following somebody else.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, and somebody else is all going to be doing it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Better, right, and it's never going to come off. Because
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: I used to be a financial advisor. Yes, So you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: starting as a financial advisor, I was the only black
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: person in the whole entire office, and you know, have
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: a New York accent, and I listen to rap music
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: and you kind of feel a little intimidated, yes, But
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: then you realize that there's a lot of people who
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: could relate to me, yes, that can't relate to the
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: other guys exactly that people. So what you want to
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: look at as a handicap is actually a superpower exactly right,
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: So you really have to embrace that. And that's what
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: we have done, were on your leisure, Like you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: we kind of embrace who we are and that has
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: opened the door to millions of people worldwide that was left.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Out of the conversation exactly right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: But if we were running from that and we tried
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: to just fit in the mole of what CNBC will
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: look like, exactly, you would have never been able to
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: be as successful as we.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Are now exactly.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Like y'all have created a movement, right, and it all
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: starts with what do we want? Because we are so
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: like everybody here is somebody who is from a historically
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: systemically excluded community, and so that is actually an advantage
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: to us because we are unrepresented in a lot of
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: ways in so many spaces, like in finance literacy, right,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and so if we just bring our sauce and how
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: we do our thing to that whatever that expertise is,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: this is why you have an explosion with earn your leisure, right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And we've seen it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I mean we've seen it obviously in hip hop as
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: an export. But now what we're doing is having education
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: and financial literacy be the greatest export that we can have. Yes,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: we'll go back for a second, and you touched on
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: it really briefly, but it's vitally important because you said
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: before you made that change from practicing law, you had
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the conversation with your husband.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, and he married entrepreneurs in here.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, right at home.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: But talk about that because I mean those type of
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: conversations can't always be easy, right if your partner is
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: not supportive, if they're not aligned.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: With the vision that you have. Talk about that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: How did that go? And you know how supportive and
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: how aligned was it or did you have to do
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: some convincing?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: No, he was very supportive from day one. And also
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: he's an entrepreneur as well, so he was He was like, Okay,

  Speaker 3: very supportive and he was like, okay, let's do it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And also too, I think your partner responds to your
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: energy when you're showing up with I'm taking this seriously.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I'm making it happen. I understand that we got bills
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: to pay, right, and I'm not afraid to go ask
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: for the sale and be and follow up with the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: client be like, yes, you need to pay this invoice. No,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: you cannot have an extension, right because he's he was
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: staying home with our kids, because I as soon as
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I started a business, literally six months into it, I
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: was pregnant with my daughter, and then I got pregnant
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: again immediately. I remember when I announced that my son, Jackson,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I was pregnant with my son, and they were like, again, already,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: what did you do in you know, I'm like, not
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: family planning, obviously, And so we decided he was going
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to stay.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Home with the kids and that I would just keep
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: building this business. But after a while he was like,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not liking this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I feel like I don't know what money's coming in.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know when I'm gonna be able to pay
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: these bills. I'm feeling very stressed. You got all these employees.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: They get paid first, we get paid last, and it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: not that much left over. And so after a while
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, no, I'm not feeling this. You
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: might need to go get a job or something. I
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: was supported for a while, but you're gonna have to
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: turn it up a notch or or we gotta figure
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: something out, you know, and because the whole time too,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: he'd be like, I'm going to get a job, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I talk him out of it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I'm like, no, no, no, I'm right there. I'm on
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: the cusp it's coming. How many times did I say
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: that to you? And then it was like a year later,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: we still on that cusp where we gonna tip over
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: because this is taking a minute, okay seriously.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So yes, he definitely had moments where he started to
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: have doubts. And here's the thing that I I the
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: advice that I have for couples and for people in
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: relationships where they have a vision for something and sometimes
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: your partner doesn't see it. One you need to be serious,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: like take it seriously. They need to see you putting
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: in work, taking it seriously, because that's what helps them
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to trust and believe. They don't have the same vision.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: They can't see what you see. They're betting on you, right,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and your choices absolutely affect every aspect of their life,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: including what car they get to drive, right, and whether
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: their bills are paid on time, Like we had times
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: where we paid the whole team and then we'd have
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: to go under the There was a desk in our kitchen,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: we get the big five gallon bottle that you put
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: your coins in all the time.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Take that thing that to Coinstarre.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: At the grocery store, turn it over, and that's how
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: we bought groceries for our family that week, because we
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: pay everybody and not ourselves.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, and listen, shout out to this one.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Because my sister always has a savings account and I'd
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: be like, that was my personal line of credit. I'd
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: be like, Angela, I'm about to miss payroll again, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: she'd be like okay. I'm like, I'll pay you back
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: in three weeks. She's like okay again, and she would
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: let me borrow money. I make payroll, then I gotta
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: make it back. Then I gotta pay her back. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: now it's still not getting paid.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: So the people don't tell these stories.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: This is what I'm talking about when I say you
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: have to be relentless, and you also like.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Convincing your partner.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: That's part of the journey, and also too sometimes they're
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: not going to be convinced, so you just believe for
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: the both of you. That's what you have to do.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Believe and take action for the both of you. Like
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I always talk to my partner. I'm always, you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: letting him know what we're doing and how I'm trying
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: to make things happen. And I don't ask for permission.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I just go and do it. I just believe for
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: both of us. Sometimes I see the vision and he don't,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and I gotta believe for the both of us. Sometimes
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: that's what you have to do when you're in a partnership.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try that when I get home, both of us.
