  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, because I know not
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: only are your entrepreneur, but you're really getting the politics.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be. That was the segue.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: That was the sailing because what you just said is
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: what you said about the president. Now, like I don't
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: have to like him or even vote for him, but
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: if he does something that helps my community, I should
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: take advantage of that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Because I'm taking advantage, taking advantage of everything I'm telling.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: But that's every president. Yeah, that ain't this president. Now
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: that there has been no president that has been for
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: the black.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Community to take that, Yeah, that's the fact.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: That's that has been no president that has been for
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: the black community. But if your policy affects the black
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: community in a positive way, which can affect the greater community,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: I have to pay you some attention. Is that if
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I have to pay you something, you don't take Obamas
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: for No. I'm clear of what I say and how
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I say. There has been no president that's for the
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: black community. But if that president playing in any way
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: or policy helps the black community, I'm for that thing.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: I rate all us presidents at about a CE different
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: variations from a C minus down into the d's too.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: You know, when you start off with slave masters at
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: presidents that's a really funky comment. So you have to
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: spend your life as a person of color reconciling the
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: fact that the dollars that in your pocket, the dead men,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: the slave masters that are only that that that give
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: you worth and value to the things you're doing own people,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: and that wealth is something. So you know, when we
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: get walk, when we get mad, we want to castigate
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: rappers and then are tinners and chit yill right, thank your.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Money you have there to do, japs though you're twenty
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: dollar bill.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: That you're tipping the stripper with genocide on people that
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: were from Middle of America and that were red and were.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Here before you got here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: So you're passing a genocidal bill to pay for your
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Sarah and your your need to get grinded off.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And you've never.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Chastised yourself enough to say, I'll only pay my PayPal
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: because our vote or greenwood.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm by the way.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: You know what, you know, man, it matters of money.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: We had better learn that we're going to have to
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: pack some emotion to the side to accomplish specific dolls
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: from a monetary standpoint, so that we can take care
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: of ourselves because no one's coming to savings, nothing's coming
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: out of sky to save us. Karma, although it's a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: nice concept. Evil people live longer and they seem to
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: be happier. George Bushton down he was ninety middle something.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So but you were, you were supporting Bernie Sanders. Absolutely,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: so you work, you have progressive I guess liberal views.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: If if voting for Bernie Sanders takes my taxes up
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: out of the forties into the fifties, just as succeed
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: takes care of the next twenty five to thirty years
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: of Americans in terms of education, health care, trade that
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: trade and college education and basics and and extensive health care,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and provide social programs that grow us as a country.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I have no aversion to supporting it, and in fact,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I think that much of his policy has been raped, robbed,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and looted by both parties at this point, versus us
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: getting behind the person who wanted to give us everything
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: we would have needed during this pandemic, including some type
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: of universal income, including some type of health care that
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: was universal leading toward it, including decriminalization of marijuana, including
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: a federal task force that would have dealt with Row
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Police House, including all these seas that would have affected us.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: But because we didn't do it, because we didn't go
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: that move, or because we got robbed of it, or whatever,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: the theory is being, you gotta you know, you gotta
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: do with what you got, and you better master your coin,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: you know, because we're we're in a system where as
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: much as they want to say they care like Vernion,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: they don't. And if you're not going to allow me
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: to pay my ten or fifteen extra to let someone
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: like he'll eat the way, don't get mad. And I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: gonna try to keep an extra ten of fifteen percent
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: and figure out who the fuck trump tax.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But I you know I didn't. I didn't vote for
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the evil person. I wanted that, Ernests, What's up?

• 5:31
  Speaker 5: to you by P and C Bank. A lot of
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: definitely can be, but understanding a professional's routine shows us
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: you live or more happily fulfilled life. P and C
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Bank Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly Boring since
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: eighteen sixty five is a service mark of the P
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: and C Financial Service Group, Inc. P and C Bank
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: National Association Member FDIC.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to I want to go
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: back to Greenwood for a second, because a lot of times,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and even in the book, it dies into the fact
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: of black banks being put in neighborhoods right where deposits
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: weren't coming in at a frequent rate, and so they
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: had to charge higher interest rates when they weren't loaning
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: out money because most of people don't really understand how
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: banks make money.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the lows right.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: So my thing is like, is Greenwood is there going
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to be similar how other interest rates are going to
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: be competing with the big banks?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: So that the first first versus deposits saving. So it's steps,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: this is where we are first. First, the goal is
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: to wipe out check fashion, to wipe out the main
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the main parasites in poor and working class people fly.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: So you know, people here saved twenty forty bus sound
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: like much to them, But when you're talking about now
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: you can save ten percent of your income, what about
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: let person gets to raise and get five on your
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: thousand on. Now you're saving more money. So that is
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: the attack, and the next phase is in loans and
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: home ownership, automobile.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Ownership, and in the phase after that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: So I like the fact that Ryan is, unlike in
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the past, is not trying to do everything himself at
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the same time as much as he's seeking And they're
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: talking to allies at this moment realizing who are they
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: going to get into business with in terms of partnering
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: with larger institutions that recover, who are the institutions that
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: your money is actually going to be sitting with, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: as a platform, what they can do to reduce the
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: even cost of you, help you become more financially literate, help.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: You to save and something. And that's the first step.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Eradicate the check cash. Yes, pushing the back of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: day was also the sofone store.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's level.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Then we got the deposits and loans, and so I
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: guess the next the last things would be business loans.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Small business loans. Yeah what small man.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Now, I don't think that's the last stage. I just
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: think that I just think that if you're going to
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: run nine miles. Plot out your first three, then plot
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: out your next three, and then your final three. Right,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: So let's just say those are the first three miles. Yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: and I saw I wrestling.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Where Ryan said, like, I think fifty percent of black businesses, Oh,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: black businesses get loans at fifty percent lower rate white businesses.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I think it's we're returned, yeah, at fifty percent lower rates.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: We're also denied in comparable application. We're denied twenty one
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: percent of the time in white's on eight.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, So, and so I'm assuming that's something that you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: guys will be trying to eradicate.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: As far as with Greenswood, there's definitely going to be
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: you know, Greenwood is not Superman, doesn't come in the
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: same What it is is a part of the Avengures.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: It's a part of alternative ways now for us to
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: take control around dollars. And that's everything from a new
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: black credit union that's popping up. It's everything from the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: traditional black banks that are already in the market, whether
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: it be Citizens Trust or Carver or One United, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: that's new platform and fintech like Greenwood. You know, I'm
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: an advocate for you know, if you want to if
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: you want to get the freedom, take a whole lot
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: of buses, you know, don't depend on everyone going in
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: one bus, you know what I'm saying. And he even
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: told me and Ryan don't travel together, you know what
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I mean. He's just like what you guys are doing
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: is that, See don't even travel together. Because if freedom
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: is the objective, there may be slightly different variations up,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: but we'll get there even if it's not at the
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: same time. But I think we need a lot of
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: pistons firing and an engine, not just one, and we
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: have to we have to begin to end. I would
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: want or or need to critique or overly criticize based
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: on a cast failure.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Because the failure is something you learned from that, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: that's the part.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: It was like if people understood their relationship with the money,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: they would understand. It's like if my iPhone breaks, I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: don't say I'm never using Apple. I'm just gonna get
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: another iPhone, you know what I mean. But if we like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: and I bank with citizens or shout out to citizens,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: but if they like, if they mess up with deposit,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: It's not like y'all never banking with them again.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give them the same thing. We gotta get it fixed.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: And again that's why I tell people like one day
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: as a leader, which I wasn't even in the in
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: the space to be, but they pay another people like
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: that black women to make you leave.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: But you know, I'm gonna say my bad, I fucked
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Up my graduates from my school being force back drop
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: back drop, Mike drop, back drop drop
