So give me the 4 1 1. 29 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:47.160 <v 2>Yes. Well, first of all, piggybacking on what you just said, yes.</v> 30 00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:51.510 Our job is to stretch the missions and the goals of the 31 00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:56.310 community itself. So whatever's going on in the community that is good. 32 00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:01.020 It is our responsibility to become one with them by 33 00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:05.640 serving their missions and their goals through our networks of buyers and 34 00:02:05.650 --> 00:02:10.170 sellers that we have brought to this community. And so again, 35 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.910 it starts off with I have a dream to global just so happened to be, 36 00:02:15.510 --> 00:02:20.310 I've been on a journey for 21 years to turn my mother's local legacy 37 00:02:20.310 --> 00:02:25.260 of philanthropy into a global phenomenon to actually change the entire 38 00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:26.040 world. 39 00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:30.540 So getting ready for this July 15th kickoff to the nation. 40 00:02:31.380 --> 00:02:35.970 I've been traveling across the country producing these staffed events with 41 00:02:35.980 --> 00:02:36.813 dealerships, 42 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.890 and just somehow out of all the dealerships that I cross up and down the 43 00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:45.150 country, man, it's just this one dealership has 44 00:02:47.130 --> 00:02:51.960 basically got me to stop traveling the 45 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.340 country for one dealership. And it just happened to be Hendersonville, 46 00:02:57.180 --> 00:02:58.110 North Carolina, 47 00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:03.010 which I did not expect that to be the place that I'm going to build 48 00:03:03.010 --> 00:03:07.600 my home at and actually bring my son where he's out there. 49 00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:12.460 Now I'm just speaking of the direction of how excited I am 50 00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:17.440 to have found this community and have learned so much about the community and 51 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:21.790 I'm so honored to be with respect to serving it. Yes, sir. 52 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.090 <v 1>So what you going to be doing? What's the vision?</v> 53 00:03:25.090 --> 00:03:27.340 You talked about an event happening in July, 54 00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:30.280 but what's going to be happening there in the Hendersonville community? 55 00:03:30.790 --> 00:03:31.623 <v 2>Yes. Well,</v> 56 00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:35.920 with respect for our focus in Hendersonville, 57 00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:41.530 I want to make it clear that we're duplicating and delegating what 58 00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:43.870 we have been doing all over the country. 59 00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:48.430 And so we're setting up a series of events, fashion, comedy, 60 00:03:48.430 --> 00:03:52.600 talent shows to actually open an event help center 61 00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:55.650 Studio of Hendersonville. 62 00:03:56.140 --> 00:04:00.760 And so from there we will duplicate that same strategy to Asheville 63 00:04:01.510 --> 00:04:04.090 and all the other communities that's surrounding. 64 00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:08.230 And so basically for the last 21 years I've getting hired, 65 00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:12.310 our organization have been getting hired by dealerships to come and produce 66 00:04:12.310 --> 00:04:13.300 staff events. 67 00:04:13.510 --> 00:04:18.070 So we put out so much marketing and people come in and buy a bunch of cars, 68 00:04:18.310 --> 00:04:22.060 but I'm there for the marketing and I'm there for the movement inside the 69 00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:24.130 community. And so from there, 70 00:04:24.130 --> 00:04:28.960 I always build relationships in those communities to actually set up events. 71 00:04:29.140 --> 00:04:33.400 And each of those events always benefit the community itself. 72 00:04:34.210 --> 00:04:39.190 And so we have been called a resource center without Walls for the last 21 73 00:04:39.190 --> 00:04:39.940 years. 74 00:04:39.940 --> 00:04:44.590 And so now in July we kicking off a capital campaign to 75 00:04:44.590 --> 00:04:49.360 actually rebuild this country by not just being a resource center with 76 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.060 walls where we are actually moving forward, 77 00:04:52.390 --> 00:04:57.370 the movement of becoming a resource center with walls as the 78 00:04:57.370 --> 00:05:00.880 continuing solution to the challenges in the community. 79 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:06.040 So our focus is redoing a series of events, 80 00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:10.990 but yet in Hendersonville County, 81 00:05:10.990 --> 00:05:14.500 actually Hendersonville the city, 82 00:05:14.710 --> 00:05:19.480 but in the county of Henderson County and directly, 83 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.570 we're consistently looking for the right venue right now. 84 00:05:22.660 --> 00:05:27.040 We had a venue that was scheduled before with people would be speaking about 85 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:27.873 before, 86 00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:32.860 and the vision of the venue and the vision of what we're trying to do with 87 00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:35.950 no disrespect to the venue, it did not align. 88 00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:39.100 And so we continue to move forward. 89 00:05:39.460 --> 00:05:42.820 There are so many people I would like to speak of Terry Young, 90 00:05:43.090 --> 00:05:47.530 thank you for opening up some doors. Mary Tinker, the little family. 91 00:05:47.530 --> 00:05:52.180 I'm opening up doors. Crystal Carley, Robert Zachary, Mr. Zach, 92 00:05:53.260 --> 00:05:56.800 the Altered Bar and Grill. Ken, thank you for opening up the Doors. 93 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.620 Agape be World Outreach, city of Hendersonville church groups. 94 00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:05.000 I mean so many different relationships up and down the county has opened up 95 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.440 doors for me since then. 96 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.360 And so I left the community to go get even stronger because I went in, 97 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:16.130 I learned a little bit of bump in the road to where the challenge of 98 00:06:16.130 --> 00:06:20.600 moving a vision from outside of community inside a community. 99 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:25.850 I left to go get some more empowerment to where we have some more resources and 100 00:06:25.850 --> 00:06:30.650 relationships set up in other communities to where now I'm directly connecting 101 00:06:30.650 --> 00:06:35.540 them back in the community of Henderson County so they can realize 102 00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:39.830 and understand the value of what we do, why we do it, 103 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.470 and the benefits for the entire county. 104 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.360 So the process where we are right now is identifying the venue partner 105 00:06:48.050 --> 00:06:52.850 where we can produce three fashion comedy talent shows part one, part two, 106 00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:53.683 and part three. 107 00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:58.310 And this focus would be to not only entertain the community, 108 00:06:58.460 --> 00:07:00.950 all walks of clean entertainment, 109 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.270 yet we'll use each of those platforms to open an event 110 00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:12.260 help center studio to actually serve the community of Henderson 111 00:07:12.260 --> 00:07:15.410 County. So that is our focus here in the area. 112 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.600 <v 1>Wow. So a lot to figure out.</v> 113 00:07:18.410 --> 00:07:23.000 But you talked about challenges that a community has 114 00:07:23.570 --> 00:07:28.100 and hoping to overcome challenges and in just 115 00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:31.640 improve the community. What's your goal? 116 00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:35.150 What do you hope to see happen in Hendersonville because of these events? 117 00:07:35.690 --> 00:07:39.260 <v 2>Well, the number one thing is unity. What I've been blessed with,</v> 118 00:07:39.590 --> 00:07:44.390 when you are dealing in the community and you are serving in the community, 119 00:07:44.450 --> 00:07:47.090 you learn so many parts of the community, 120 00:07:47.090 --> 00:07:51.320 so many worlds from the white to black to young, the old, the Mexican, 121 00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:54.200 so many, the politics, the churches, 122 00:07:54.200 --> 00:07:57.980 so many worlds that I've been blessed to work with individually. 123 00:07:58.250 --> 00:08:03.020 So what I've learned is there's a big divide. They're not unified. 124 00:08:03.470 --> 00:08:05.600 It is a very, I mean, 125 00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:11.240 it's amazing to me the level of power that I've found in the county and the 126 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.860 levels of things that I've seen happen yet is so 127 00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:19.580 divided. And so our goals are to united. 128 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.620 And so one of the strategies we use is we are already a service platform. 129 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:29.510 So our objective is to use our time, our trust, 130 00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:31.310 our talent, our treasure, 131 00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:36.470 and our teams to stretch the missions and goals of everything that's going on 132 00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:40.910 good in the community. So we would go into East Side and we will build some 133 00:08:40.910 --> 00:08:45.890 relationships in the east side to actually now we are on one accord to where 134 00:08:45.900 --> 00:08:49.700 our platform is serving the vision of East Side. 135 00:08:49.850 --> 00:08:52.700 And so now we on one accord, now we go to West Side. 136 00:08:52.850 --> 00:08:57.750 Now there's a vision that we are mutually in agreement with in West side to 137 00:08:57.750 --> 00:09:02.550 where now we are on one accord. Now we go to south, north, east, 138 00:09:02.550 --> 00:09:07.320 west. We unite all of those walks through this one vision that's mutually 139 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.760 beneficial to each direction. And then through the series of events, 140 00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.610 we will actually expose that unity, 141 00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:19.440 expose the benefits of being unified and expose the history 142 00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:21.420 of our hands, our hearts, 143 00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:26.370 and our heads coming together to open a facility in the community to where 144 00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:31.020 now we can say our unity that came to was the reason 145 00:09:31.020 --> 00:09:35.940 why now we can serve our community much better than we have been serving it. 146 00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:39.810 Because all up and down the county, I've heard, man, 147 00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:43.020 what we need is your organization here too, 148 00:09:43.030 --> 00:09:46.440 because there's not enough things going on for the youth. 149 00:09:46.650 --> 00:09:51.600 There's not enough things to give counter to the crimes that's in 150 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.290 the community. There's not enough of this and that. Well, 151 00:09:55.290 --> 00:09:57.840 our job is to be that resource, 152 00:09:57.900 --> 00:10:01.410 be that bridge to actually identifying the problem, 153 00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:06.540 yet identifying a solution to overcome the problem and then make sure 154 00:10:06.570 --> 00:10:11.280 we expose that solution up and down the community and yet house it 155 00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:16.410 in a facility that we open up through our coming together to show 156 00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:21.030 why we should support this position and this platform year round. 157 00:10:21.450 --> 00:10:22.470 <v 1>Wow, okay.</v> 158 00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:26.520 How can people in Hendersonville plug in with what you're doing, 159 00:10:27.180 --> 00:10:29.190 get excited for the event in July? 160 00:10:29.190 --> 00:10:32.910 How can they support the community through your organization? 161 00:10:33.510 --> 00:10:36.420 <v 2>Yes.
