- 2:25Speaker 3: Nothing else matters. We here at this moment.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Yeah, that's dope.
- 2:28Speaker 4: So let's let's let's get into it. Nineteen keys. I
- 2:30Speaker 4: don't even know where where we should start, but I
- 2:32Speaker 4: want to start with the Black Wealth Standard, Yes, because
- 2:34Speaker 4: that's something that I've been seeing a lot as far
- 2:37Speaker 4: as you posting it a lot recently. And the Black
- 2:40Speaker 4: Wealth Standard, Like when you when you first posted that,
- 2:43Speaker 4: I'm like, what does that mean? You know what I'm saying.
- 2:45Speaker 4: It's like one of those things that's interesting, and it's
- 2:48Speaker 4: like I think I know what it means, but I
- 2:50Speaker 4: want you to kind of give like the breakdown, Like
- 2:52Speaker 4: what's the Black Wealth Standard?
- 2:53Speaker 3: So it's two parts to that. We had a Black
- 2:55Speaker 3: Standard and then we had a Wealth Standard. And so
- 2:58Speaker 3: inside the Black Standard is the Web standard. And so
- 3:01Speaker 3: the Black Standard is really creating a system of accountability
- 3:04Speaker 3: for what it means to be black. Understand me, Like,
- 3:07Speaker 3: I believe that not everybody is black in the mind.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Understand me and by black, we have to create the
- 3:13Speaker 3: system of accountability otherwise we can't have any expectation of
- 3:16Speaker 3: each other. Understand me, Like, if I consider myself to
- 3:19Speaker 3: be a black man, what values do I uphold? What's
- 3:21Speaker 3: my mission? What's my vision? Understand me? What does it
- 3:24Speaker 3: mean to a black person? Responsibility, accountability, transparency? When you
- 3:29Speaker 3: could be a nigga, right, and a nigga heards a
- 3:32Speaker 3: certain connotation and there's no expectation for what a nigga is.
- 3:37Speaker 3: A person can make music and say I kill niggas,
- 3:39Speaker 3: I murder niggas, I arrive nigga whatever it is, there's
- 3:42Speaker 3: no accountability. So if like if you think in hip hop,
- 3:46Speaker 3: where does the standard for hip hop to say who
- 3:48Speaker 3: can and cannot be a part of hip hop? There
- 3:50Speaker 3: is none. So when I think about our communities and
- 3:53Speaker 3: I think about people being disappointed by so called leaders
- 3:56Speaker 3: or celebrities or activists and things of that nature, you
- 3:59Speaker 3: really can't hold them to a fault because we haven't
- 4:01Speaker 3: created a standard of accountability to say that. Well, if
- 4:03Speaker 3: you consider yourself to be a black man, then this
- 4:06Speaker 3: is what you stand on. So one of the standards
- 4:08Speaker 3: that we created was you have to train. If we
- 4:10Speaker 3: look at everything that's been happening and a lot of
- 4:13Speaker 3: the circumstances that we living in right now, the Black
- 4:16Speaker 3: Lives Matter movements, the white supremacy, things of that nature
- 4:20Speaker 3: going on, it's like, how do you prepare yourself? And
- 4:24Speaker 3: we can't just continue to complain. Somebody got to be
- 4:26Speaker 3: out there training. Somebody got to be out there ready.
- 4:29Speaker 3: If you say that, Okay, well we believe in gun ownership,
- 4:32Speaker 3: well you should have tactical training. If you don't believe
- 4:34Speaker 3: in guns and you believe and okay, I'm gonna protect myself,
- 4:37Speaker 3: well you should have combat training. You understand me, hand
- 4:39Speaker 3: in hand. If now, when we go to the West standard,
- 4:43Speaker 3: we talk about Black Wall Street, you understand me and
- 4:46Speaker 3: what happened back then. But they had a particular web standard,
- 4:50Speaker 3: meaning that the money ex changed thirty times before left
- 4:52Speaker 3: they community. You understand me, Like they had a certain
- 4:55Speaker 3: financial literacy that doesn't exist in our community. So when
- 4:59Speaker 3: we talk about the Black standard, is really creating a
- 5:01Speaker 3: system of accountability for those who consider themselves to be
- 5:04Speaker 3: black and always qualified black, not in the sense of nationality,
- 5:08Speaker 3: the sense in your mindset. Understand me, Like, are you
- 5:12Speaker 3: connected to that original spark of what it means to
- 5:14Speaker 3: be a black person on the planet Earth? You understand me,
- 5:17Speaker 3: original man and that original thinking, and inside that we
- 5:21Speaker 3: know that. I believe in ownership of slave ships, so
- 5:24Speaker 3: that all right. I believe in equity versus equality, because
- 5:28Speaker 3: if we get equity, we confront our equality. Understand me,
- 5:32Speaker 3: And I know you all believe in that because I've
- 5:34Speaker 3: seen certain things that you post, and it makes sense
- 5:36Speaker 3: that if we get a quality, then everybody get what
- 5:39Speaker 3: we got and it's still an equal. Yeah.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I've been fighting for that, especially in education. Is like
- 5:43Speaker 2: people need to understand the difference. And I think people
- 5:45Speaker 2: have always said equal rights, equal likes. I'm like, yo, forget,
- 5:48Speaker 2: like we need to change our three e's. I always
- 5:49Speaker 2: say that, like it's your equality is cool. Equities more important.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Economic empowerment is even more important.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Absolutely, But look at so other communities have a web standard.
- 6:00Speaker 3: The Jewish community represent two percent of the population, but
- 6:03Speaker 3: the top one hundred four billionaires twenty five percent Jewish community.
- 6:07Speaker 3: When we look at that Asian community, who has the
- 6:09Speaker 3: top household income. It's not white folks. Even though we
- 6:12Speaker 3: always compare that, but it's the Asian community, and more specifically,
- 6:15Speaker 3: it's the East Indian in the Asian community, and who's
- 6:19Speaker 3: top leverage when it comes to looking at the tech sector.
- 6:24Speaker 3: You understand me, they're the top paid. And you can
- 6:28Speaker 3: understand that because they basically look at all, right, what's
- 6:32Speaker 3: going on in the community, what's going on in the world. Right,
- 6:35Speaker 3: So if Bill Gates and Elon Musk and all of
- 6:39Speaker 3: these people are becoming the new billionaires and the new
- 6:41Speaker 3: rule in power, then they said, well, that's what we
- 6:43Speaker 3: need to get into. Let's do Howard understand me, And
- 6:46Speaker 3: they get into digital technology and they get into coding
- 6:49Speaker 3: and things of that nature. So when you look at
- 6:51Speaker 3: Shinji in China in the last five to ten years,
- 6:54Speaker 3: they've been able to build up a system to go
- 6:56Speaker 3: from rice farmers understand me, to tech billionaires and millionaires
- 7:01Speaker 3: because they said that, oh, well, this is going to
- 7:03Speaker 3: be our way towards wealth. Now, in the black community,
- 7:06Speaker 3: we still think entertainment and sports is our well standing
- 7:09Speaker 3: understanding and every other community puts more emphasis on education
- 7:16Speaker 3: than we do. But the right kind of education, you
- 7:19Speaker 3: understand me, Like, we don't have a specific type of
- 7:21Speaker 3: education that we go for. And so when we think
- 7:25Speaker 3: about having a wealth standard, you can really study other
- 7:27Speaker 3: communities who've done it better than us, because all communities
- 7:31Speaker 3: have done it better than us, understand me. Even the
- 7:33Speaker 3: Hispanic community. Their income is higher than ours and continues
- 7:37Speaker 3: to rise higher than ours. They're more likely to own
- 7:40Speaker 3: a house than we are once we leave a household,
- 7:42Speaker 3: understand me. And so creating a wealth standard is really
- 7:45Speaker 3: creating a system of accountability that you can think towards
- 7:49Speaker 3: going towards that goal of wealth, like wealth is having
- 7:52Speaker 3: an abundance of assets, and the average person, the average
- 7:56Speaker 3: Black person specifically, because the fifty percent of America is
- 8:00Speaker 3: financially illiterate, then that number is extremely high in the
- 8:03Speaker 3: Black community.
- 8:04Speaker 2: That's important. So my I mean mindset is the key.
- 8:06Speaker 2: And I've heard you say this numerous times. Right, if
- 8:08Speaker 2: you could change the way somebody thinking can change their world.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 8:11Speaker 2: So when did your mindset get change or was this
- 8:13Speaker 2: something that was always in your household as you were
- 8:16Speaker 2: coming up?
- 8:17Speaker 3: Absolutely not. So it's levels to that question, right, So
- 8:19Speaker 3: the web standard was never in my household. Now, we
- 8:22Speaker 3: was taught, you know, economic empowerment, and the teachers on
- 8:25Speaker 3: the Unaboilijah Muhammad who taught about those different things. But
- 8:29Speaker 3: the knowledge, the how to, the applicable knowledge on how
- 8:33Speaker 3: to get their portfolio diversification and understanding commodities and stocks
- 8:37Speaker 3: and things of that nature, and that was not in
- 8:39Speaker 3: my household. But the do for self mentality was always there.
- 8:44Speaker 3: So when I was about nineteen years old was when
- 8:47Speaker 3: I think I really made a shift to wanting to
- 8:50Speaker 3: go upon this journey and teaching others. And that's because
- 8:53Speaker 3: I had a case when I was nineteen. I understand me.
- 8:55Speaker 3: I think before the age of nineteen, I probably had
- 8:57Speaker 3: about I've probably been arrested about ten times, had about
- 9:01Speaker 3: five or six cases, but I always fought them all.
- 9:03Speaker 3: And that's because I seen my father fight his cases.
- 9:06Speaker 3: So having that example, I knew what was possible and
- 9:09Speaker 3: I knew what I needed to do. And so really
- 9:11Speaker 3: and that last case, I was going through it and
- 9:15Speaker 3: I was locked up in a jail, and I was
- 9:16Speaker 3: reading this book and the book was it was a
- 9:19Speaker 3: fictional book. I don't remember what it was, but it
- 9:21Speaker 3: was a story book. It was very detailed. I could
- 9:23Speaker 3: imagine in picture. It was like a movie in my head.
- 9:26Speaker 3: And then as I was done reading that book, and
- 9:29Speaker 3: I got through the whole thing, and I looked around.
- 9:32Speaker 3: I'm still in the cell, and nothing in that book
- 9:35Speaker 3: qualified me to get past this case and empowered me
- 9:39Speaker 3: in any situation whatsoever. So I felt like I just
- 9:42Speaker 3: wasted all my time. And then when I got to trial,
- 9:46Speaker 3: my older brother had gave me a list of books
- 9:48Speaker 3: to read. Are the Deceptions, some son Zuo War books,
- 9:51Speaker 3: a bunch of different books on legal leads, and he
- 9:54Speaker 3: wanted to give me books that we could actually apply
- 9:56Speaker 3: when it came towards trial, you understand me, books that
- 9:59Speaker 3: were applic knowledge. And I remember learning certain things and
- 10:02Speaker 3: having to tell my lawyer certain things to get certain
- 10:04Speaker 3: parts of the case thrown out. And eventually, of course,
- 10:07Speaker 3: we got to that point where the case was found
- 10:10Speaker 3: not guilty. You understand me. I ain't got no record
- 10:15Speaker 3: for the record, ye record. But after that, I haven't
- 10:18Speaker 3: read a fictional book. Understand me. I only read information
- 10:23Speaker 3: for the purpose of applying it in some way in
- 10:25Speaker 3: my life, you know, And I know that. You know
- 10:27Speaker 3: you can read stories and then expands the minds and
- 10:30Speaker 3: things of that nature. But that's just where I met
- 10:32Speaker 3: and after that, I only wanted to find that sort
- 10:34Speaker 3: of information because eighty percent of people don't take it
- 10:37Speaker 3: to trial, you understand me. They plea out and that's
- 10:40Speaker 3: either ignorance, a lack of money, representation, a multitude of
- 10:44Speaker 3: different things. But I just think about those individuals that
- 10:47Speaker 3: I grew up with in the hood, when they jumped
- 10:49Speaker 3: off that porch. They get caught in that system, and
- 10:51Speaker 3: then they get stuck in that cycle because they ain't
- 10:53Speaker 3: had nobody to get us, some keys, somebody to get
- 10:55Speaker 3: them some books that can guide them too the right
- 10:57Speaker 3: mindset where they can free themselves. So ever since I
- 11:00Speaker 3: was nineteen years old, I've just been on this journey
- 11:02Speaker 3: of damn, how do I unlock the next man whose
- 11:05Speaker 3: mind is is without the proper knowledge and information to
- 11:11Speaker 3: where they can be that higher self.
- 11:13Speaker 4: So it's interesting because I think it was actually with
- 11:16Speaker 4: Dame Right we spoke about where it was like, you
- 11:18Speaker 4: can't just tell somebody to stop hustling without giving.
- 11:21Speaker 5: Them us talk to me about the proms answer, Ye, yeah.
- 11:24Speaker 4: You got it. You can't like say, okay, I'm out here,
- 11:27Speaker 4: I'm making a thousand dollars a day. You're telling me
- 11:30Speaker 4: to stop doing what I'm doing. But you're not giving
- 11:32Speaker 4: me any solution. So as far as like practical solutions,
- 11:36Speaker 4: as far as like building wealth in the community, like
- 11:39Speaker 4: you brought up a good point sports entertainment, that's all
- 11:41Speaker 4: that's our wealth standing because that's what we know. And
- 11:43Speaker 4: it's like every neighborhood has at least one NBA player
- 11:47Speaker 4: or one NFL player or one rapper. So that's an
- 11:50Speaker 4: aspiring person that you can look at and say, Okay,
- 11:53Speaker 4: he made it doing this, so I know I have
- 11:55Speaker 4: a chance at least I have a shot doing this, right. Yeah,
- 11:59Speaker 4: So it's like, how do we get into you know,
- 12:02Speaker 4: building that practical? Is it through trades? Is it through entrepreneurship,
- 12:07Speaker 4: as far as breaking mortar locations? Is it through online?
- 12:09Speaker 4: Is a variety? Is it investing? Like what is what's
- 12:13Speaker 4: some of the ways that we can actually encourage people
- 12:15Speaker 4: to kind of get them on the wealth path.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Well, I believe in skill set diversification. You understand me
- 12:21Speaker 3: that you don't just have one thing, because as we've
- 12:23Speaker 3: seen through the COVID nineteen and the quarantine, if one
- 12:26Speaker 3: fail and you know, circumstances beyond your control happens, what
- 12:30Speaker 3: you're gonna do? So many people had to pivot during
- 12:33Speaker 3: this time, and they didn't know what their second stop was.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Understand me. So number one, I look at the education system,
- 12:40Speaker 3: and I look at everybody else wealth standards, and we
- 12:43Speaker 3: can look at the Asian community specifically, because let's ask
- 12:48Speaker 3: for ourselves. How many Asian leaders can you think of
- 12:50Speaker 3: in the last one hundred years in America? How many
- 12:53Speaker 3: Asian leaders you can think of? That just prominent voices
- 12:56Speaker 3: that speak for the Asian community, can't really think of any. Now,
- 13:01Speaker 3: we've been spoiled with leadership in our community, so we
- 13:03Speaker 3: always looking for somebody to lead us, you understand me. Instead,
- 13:07Speaker 3: their leadership is their education, you understand me. Their leadership
- 13:11Speaker 3: is their family standard on how they build together. And
- 13:14Speaker 3: so number one, you have to destroy that dependency model
- 13:17Speaker 3: of I'm looking for somebody to save me, you know,
- 13:20Speaker 3: and now you have to create a new saver, which
- 13:22Speaker 3: is the education, which is getting into the digital real estate.
- 13:27Speaker 3: That's my brother Ben next calls it and looking like, yes,
- 13:30Speaker 3: entrepreneurship one hundred percent. And people always say, well, entrepreneurship
- 13:34Speaker 3: not for me, That's not true, you understand me, Like
- 13:37Speaker 3: thinking like an entrepreneurs for everybody we live in a
- 13:39Speaker 3: capitalist society. So if you're not thinking like an entrepreneur,
- 13:42Speaker 3: then you're somebody's consumer, you understand me. So that's a
- 13:45Speaker 3: slave based mindset, because either you figure out a way
- 13:49Speaker 3: to free yourself into the ultimate role of the sovereignty
- 13:52Speaker 3: or you're just a deadest slave. So number one, entrepreneurship.
- 13:56Speaker 3: The mindset towards education has to shift. The education has
- 14:00Speaker 3: created an opportunity because everything that they didn't teach, now
- 14:03Speaker 3: we can teach, you understand me. So we really have
- 14:05Speaker 3: to think them. They didn't teach real estate, you understand me.
- 14:08Speaker 3: They didn't teach entrepreneur the way the entrepreneurship the way
- 14:11Speaker 3: we utilize it today. They didn't teach stocks and trading
- 14:15Speaker 3: and things of that nature to where we can easily
- 14:17Speaker 3: apply it. So now guess what we get to teach
- 14:19Speaker 3: all the things that we know. It creates an income
- 14:22Speaker 3: for us. So when I look at the fact that
- 14:25Speaker 3: it's more expensive to house a prisoner than it is
- 14:29Speaker 3: to go to Harvard, and Harvard with all this great
- 14:31Speaker 3: endowments is not about to change, you understand me. It
- 14:34Speaker 3: is priced to go there. It's tuition whatsoever. They don't
- 14:37Speaker 3: care about that. So I say well, shit, digital education
- 14:41Speaker 3: is the new Harvard understand me. Right, Now, you can
- 14:44Speaker 3: go spend the next two to three weeks learning coding.
- 14:48Speaker 3: You understand me, and increase your income just by having
- 14:51Speaker 3: a new skill set. You can go in the next
- 14:54Speaker 3: three to five weeks learning trading. You understand me, and
- 14:57Speaker 3: now you have a new way to bring in income.
- 14:59Speaker 3: So when we look at the unemployment rate, it doesn't
- 15:01Speaker 3: have to affect you if you have skill sets that
- 15:04Speaker 3: employ You understand me. And so you start with learning
- 15:08Speaker 3: skills first of all, skills that you can trade for income,
- 15:10Speaker 3: increasing your human capital and your value on the marketplace.
- 15:14Speaker 3: So if we start there and saying that, okay, number one,
- 15:17Speaker 3: I also believe in a family model. Don't do business
- 15:20Speaker 3: with our family. That's my model understanding Now I know
- 15:23Speaker 3: for most of it is that's crazy, right because we
- 15:25Speaker 3: was taught don't do business with family.
- 15:28Speaker 5: But it's crazy.
- 15:29Speaker 3: That's only true for dysfunctional family and living alone. It
- 15:35Speaker 3: is so instead of living based off the filter that yes,
- 15:40Speaker 3: our family is dysfunctional. So that applies to us, let's
- 15:43Speaker 3: work towards well, how do we create functional families? You
- 15:46Speaker 3: understand me, And so the repairment of the family model
- 15:48Speaker 3: in the black community has to happen before we get
- 15:51Speaker 3: to any wealth. Otherwise it's only one generation. There's no
- 15:54Speaker 3: multi generational wealth. So the family standard has to happen
- 15:57Speaker 3: in understanding that. You know, they call it the sixty
- 16:00Speaker 3: four hitting your history in America between sixteen nineteen and
- 16:04Speaker 3: fifteen fifty five, where that was supposed to be the
- 16:07Speaker 3: making of the slaves, and that making of the slave
- 16:10Speaker 3: was destroying that aspects of family unit. Understand me, so
- 16:14Speaker 3: that you can rob 'em on they name, you can
- 16:16Speaker 3: rob him on they culture, They masculinity and femininity, everything
- 16:19Speaker 3: that brings them together as a family unit. And once
- 16:23Speaker 3: they did that in sixteen nineteen, they was ready to
- 16:26Speaker 3: open up business. Now we know that everything in America
- 16:29Speaker 3: goes back to the black body, the branding, the marketing,
- 16:31Speaker 3: the insurance, the whole gambit. So when we look at
- 16:35Speaker 3: repairing the black family, it's the one thing that starts
- 16:38Speaker 3: us towards wealth. You can't get past it. I don't
- 16:41Speaker 3: care how successful I am. Understand me, unless I got
- 16:44Speaker 3: a young little nineteen keys out there running around that
- 16:48Speaker 3: knows what I know as well, not just having a child.
- 16:50Speaker 3: He gotta know what I know. When it comes to
- 16:52Speaker 3: the money markets, you gotta know what I know when
- 16:54Speaker 3: it comes towards being a man and taking care of
- 16:56Speaker 3: his family, you understand me, and then passing that knowledge down,
- 17:00Speaker 3: because wealth is not just about the attainment of physical
- 17:02Speaker 3: assets and things of that nature. It's the mindset. It's
- 17:06Speaker 3: the knowledge that we have. So if we pass down
- 17:08Speaker 3: the right knowledge and we was groomed in a household
- 17:11Speaker 3: with that sort of information, then yes, we already have
- 17:14Speaker 3: the wealth. You understand me.
- 17:15Speaker 5: Right.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Reparations is repairment, and that repairment comes from knowledge yourself
- 17:20Speaker 3: and understanding the world around you. We live in a
- 17:22Speaker 3: very capitalist society that's ran by white families, and families
- 17:27Speaker 3: run the world, not governments and special interest groups and corporations.
- 17:32Speaker 3: So I believe that every black family should have an LLC.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree too.
- 17:37Speaker 5: There's a lot there.
- 17:38Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna go back to that leadership conversation
- 17:40Speaker 2: because that's one of the things that we've shoty ourselves
- 17:43Speaker 2: always talked about. It was like, Yo, our community is
- 17:45Speaker 2: always looking for leaders, but there's a lot of other
- 17:47Speaker 2: communities that don't, right, because the problem when you have
- 17:49Speaker 2: a leader is that they become the target exactly, and
- 17:51Speaker 2: so once you have a target, it's easy to knock
- 17:54Speaker 2: down that target or prop up that target to be
- 17:56Speaker 2: built down. And once that one leader's going to slight, well,
- 18:00Speaker 2: somebody's lost.
- 18:01Speaker 5: You know what I mean that exactly.
- 18:04Speaker 2: I want to go to something because you talked about
- 18:06Speaker 2: passion and one of your skills, you said at nineteen,
- 18:08Speaker 2: But I know that fashion was one of your things,
- 18:11Speaker 2: and so how did you get into that?
- 18:12Speaker 5: Was that something that you knew that you were I for?
- 18:16Speaker 3: You know, that comes from art. When we was in
- 18:19Speaker 3: the hood man me and my older brother. My older
- 18:20Speaker 3: brother got me into art and I used to see
- 18:23Speaker 3: him draw. I never thought I had the skill set,
- 18:25Speaker 3: Just like speaking, I never thought I had the gift
- 18:27Speaker 3: to gap because I used to think that everybody used
- 18:29Speaker 3: to tell him he had it. So I used to
- 18:31Speaker 3: relate all of those gifts to him. Sounds a lot
- 18:33Speaker 3: like a guy, know, So I never thought like that
- 18:38Speaker 3: was gonna be something that I used in the future.
- 18:40Speaker 3: So I used to always find other different things. But
- 18:42Speaker 3: I used to look up to him, and I used
- 18:44Speaker 3: to want to do some of the same things that
- 18:45Speaker 3: he did, and so I found a passion and drawing
- 18:49Speaker 3: and art and painting, and I remember when we used
- 18:52Speaker 3: to draw in our own shirts and paint on ourselves.
- 18:55Speaker 3: The local guys in the neighborhood were asking what shit
- 18:57Speaker 3: makes something for me? Understand me. Now, anytime I felt
- 19:00Speaker 3: like I got a skill set that can make money
- 19:01Speaker 3: and it got value, I'm gonna utilize it, understand me instantly.
- 19:05Speaker 3: So that's when the business began with. It was first
- 19:08Speaker 3: called moose I Hill and there's a whole story behind
- 19:11Speaker 3: that one. And then we started that one with hand painting,
- 19:14Speaker 3: and then it went to cutting sew and then of
- 19:18Speaker 3: course my older brother and his baby mom's at the
- 19:22Speaker 3: time was no longer doing the fashion thing, so I
- 19:24Speaker 3: took it upon myself to go full fledged with it.
- 19:27Speaker 3: And at the time I was really just providing funds
- 19:29Speaker 3: for it and doing the marketing for it, like I
- 19:31Speaker 3: thought that that's what my genius was, which it still is,
- 19:34Speaker 3: but in the marketing aspect. But because that was void
- 19:39Speaker 3: and empty, I'm not the type of person that quit
- 19:41Speaker 3: on anything, so I just say, fuck it, I'm going
- 19:44Speaker 3: to go ahead and get that skill set necessary for
- 19:46Speaker 3: me to be able to make this successful. So I
- 19:48Speaker 3: picked up designing and learned that I had a knack
- 19:51Speaker 3: for it. Understand me the way I conceptualized things, and
- 19:54Speaker 3: so I don't really consider it fashion even though it
- 19:57Speaker 3: be fashion. I just considered designing. I can see art.
- 20:00Speaker 3: I consider like creating. I consider like speaking my creativity,
- 20:04Speaker 3: my art. You understand me, anything that I do. So
- 20:07Speaker 3: I did have a store in Oakland, California, downtown Oakland
- 20:11Speaker 3: for a couple of years that I used to have
- 20:14Speaker 3: and I used to have all of my designs in
- 20:16Speaker 3: the window and it did very well because when I
- 20:19Speaker 3: used to work for Product, but I fired them because they.
- 20:21Speaker 5: Can no longer go forward me right mindset?
- 20:26Speaker 3: Yeah they did they you know, they did good for me.
- 20:28Speaker 3: It was six figures. They weren't bad, you understand me.
- 20:31Speaker 3: But they couldn't afford me. You know, when you first
- 20:33Speaker 3: go into the job, you don't have the same skill
- 20:36Speaker 3: sets as when you leave.
- 20:37Speaker 4: You put So I used to.
- 20:38Speaker 3: Do sales, merchandising, managing multitude of different little things, corporate world.
- 20:44Speaker 3: So I was, I was. I was there in the
- 20:47Speaker 3: actual store, so like the Nieman Marcus the flagship store,
- 20:53Speaker 3: multitude of other ones. Now of course, imagining nineteen keys
- 20:57Speaker 3: at a product store.
- 20:59Speaker 5: It's interesting, right, everything earned not giving.
- 21:02Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you the difference, right because I remember
- 21:05Speaker 3: having a conversation with the manager at the time, and
- 21:07Speaker 3: he used to tell me how you used to listen
- 21:08Speaker 3: to Rush Limbaugh, and I say, you know what, that's
- 21:10Speaker 3: fine because I listened to Minster farcive and he was like,
- 21:13Speaker 3: you know what, we shouldn't have political concepts. And I'm
- 21:16Speaker 3: like you about right, let's let's but agree. I say
- 21:19Speaker 3: that to say, like, the way you go into a
- 21:21Speaker 3: place is the way you have to stay. And a
- 21:22Speaker 3: lot of people make that mistake of switching off and
- 21:24Speaker 3: then trying to show glimpses of like they black revolutionary
- 21:29Speaker 3: side and they like where that comes from? Understand me.
- 21:32Speaker 3: But when I worked there, I learned a lot. Because
- 21:34Speaker 3: I learned. I feel like every job is an education,
- 21:37Speaker 3: Like that's what you still from your job, not boxes,
- 21:39Speaker 3: You're still the education, Like you go there and if
- 21:43Speaker 3: you work in a register, or if you're doing CRM
- 21:46Speaker 3: for customer reports and you're doing client telling and you
- 21:48Speaker 3: learning how to sell, or you're learning the history of
- 21:51Speaker 3: the company and what makes somebody want to spend fifty
- 21:53Speaker 3: thousand dollars on the back Like that fascinated me to
- 21:56Speaker 3: a point because I found out that they clientele was
- 21:59Speaker 3: like really in love with the curture in the history
- 22:02Speaker 3: and that's why they valued it. And to say that, yes,
- 22:05Speaker 3: I would exchange all of this money for that. So
- 22:08Speaker 3: at the time I started learning Mandarin, understand me, like
- 22:11Speaker 3: like probably like sixty percent of my clients were Chinese.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Understand me. And you could imagine when they see a
- 22:17Speaker 3: black man speaking Chinese, like they light up. You understand me,
- 22:20Speaker 3: It's like soon it starts starts speaking. I got to
- 22:23Speaker 3: sell and I used to have counterparts that were Asian,
- 22:26Speaker 3: and it felt unfair to them because they're like, you know, y'all,
- 22:30Speaker 3: like they hear you speaking Chinese all the time, but
- 22:32Speaker 3: to hear me speak it understand me, it's a novelty.
- 22:35Speaker 3: So like I did extremely well that first year. I
- 22:39Speaker 3: had like three million dollars in sales, and like to
- 22:41Speaker 3: give context, like the person behind me was like a
- 22:44Speaker 3: million and a half behind. You understand me, and we're
- 22:46Speaker 3: getting commission plus hourly. So like I broke their system
- 22:50Speaker 3: understand me, like they had, like they literally had to
- 22:52Speaker 3: change it after that. And then that's when I was new,
- 22:55Speaker 3: like it's time for me to go because y'all changing
- 22:56Speaker 3: money structures because we're making too much money.
- 22:58Speaker 5: You're fired.
- 22:59Speaker 4: But that's how you.
- 23:02Speaker 5: Man.
- 23:03Speaker 3: That was about five years ago. I was like between
- 23:06Speaker 3: like twenty three twenty five.
- 23:08Speaker 4: You know that recently put you on the spot. Can
- 23:11Speaker 4: you say something in Mandar?
- 23:13Speaker 3: This will be your first Let me see, let me see.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta sell something some real quick.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Uh jiggahaw khan wan ma. Now if somebody's sitting there listening,
- 23:26Speaker 3: be like, how you doing? Do you like this one?
- 23:28Speaker 3: You understand me. It's a formal dialogue to really open
- 23:31Speaker 3: it up to get them to buy something.
- 23:33Speaker 4: So I have a couple of questions, cause this is interesting.
- 23:35Speaker 4: How did you How did you learn Mandarin? Which seems
- 23:37Speaker 4: like an extremely complicated language to learn.
- 23:40Speaker 3: I think language is one of those things. So I
- 23:42Speaker 3: got to say, every level of consciousness comes with a
- 23:45Speaker 3: new language. And I believe that in every sense, not
- 23:48Speaker 3: just when it comes to linguistics and actually speaking different languages,
- 23:51Speaker 3: but like the money languages, a language, right, the rich
- 23:55Speaker 3: man doesn't speak the same language as a poor man,
- 23:57Speaker 3: you understand me. And language is the ability to be
- 23:59Speaker 3: able to expl so with language, me I grip it
- 24:03Speaker 3: through experience. So I learned it by literally just speaking
- 24:07Speaker 3: it and being there and practicing, you know. And then
- 24:10Speaker 3: as that went on, I would just add more words
- 24:12Speaker 3: into the vocabulary, understand me more and more words, and
- 24:15Speaker 3: it got to a point where I was pretty fluent
- 24:17Speaker 3: to where I could have, you know, business conversation or
- 24:20Speaker 3: salesman mandarin as I called it, because I knew everything
- 24:24Speaker 3: at least to get this cell and everything that surrounded
- 24:27Speaker 3: the cell, and to sweetheart to sell. And so I
- 24:30Speaker 3: believe with language, like I took four years of French,
- 24:34Speaker 3: I took multiple years of Arabic just being a Muslim,
- 24:36Speaker 3: I know my prayers and things of that nature, and Arabic.
- 24:39Speaker 3: I took Spanish. You used to do Spanish skits when
- 24:41Speaker 3: I was younger. But with Mandarin it seems hard, but
- 24:45Speaker 3: it's not, because one word can have like multiple meanings
- 24:48Speaker 3: depending on the tonality of it. You understand me, So
- 24:51Speaker 3: when you learn one thing, you really learning a lot.
- 24:54Speaker 3: So for me, it was just being in the midst
- 24:56Speaker 3: of it, and like just like the sales lord was crazy,
- 25:00Speaker 3: so like you had multiple people at the time and
- 25:03Speaker 3: multiple cells that you would have to make at a time.
- 25:05Speaker 3: So I feel like you know, at that time, my
- 25:08Speaker 3: brain was like more on adaptability in finding patterns. You
- 25:11Speaker 3: understand me. I think as you get older, language is
- 25:13Speaker 3: harder because you have to reset and your mind is
- 25:15Speaker 3: more structured towards like wisdom instead of patterns selectivity. But
- 25:19Speaker 3: at that time, it was all just finding patterns and
- 25:21Speaker 3: then utilizing them in real time. And that experience just
- 25:24Speaker 3: started to encode that language into my everyday experience. So, yeah,
- 25:29Speaker 3: Mandarin was a it was, it was. It was interesting,
- 25:31Speaker 3: to be honest, I was proud of myself from learning.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I sto thought you was gonna say, look, yeah,
- 25:36Speaker 2: I bought Rosetta Stone. I really thought that we was
- 25:38Speaker 2: going there.
- 25:39Speaker 3: But now I tried to pick up it happened, But
- 25:41Speaker 3: it was just it was incomparable to actually using it
- 25:44Speaker 3: in real life.
- 25:45Speaker 5: I think that's that's incredible.
- 25:46Speaker 4: So all right, you're twenty five, you're speaking Mandarin, you're
- 25:49Speaker 4: working in and this is a price on Oakland.
- 25:52Speaker 3: It was in San Francisco, was a little more California
- 25:55Speaker 3: as well.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Okay, that explains it. Okay, So yeah, making over one
- 26:00Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars a year, Why all right, do you
- 26:05Speaker 4: were you apprehensive about quitting because it's like, especially, do
- 26:09Speaker 4: you have a college? Did you go to college? I
- 26:10Speaker 4: dropped out of college, all right, so you don't have
- 26:12Speaker 4: a teacher teacher? Really?
- 26:14Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean like education Okay, okay, okay, that's my thing.
- 26:17Speaker 5: I'm a teacher teacher.
- 26:19Speaker 4: So yeah. So it's like, you know, I'm saying that
- 26:21Speaker 4: because a lot of people don't have confidence. So it's like,
- 26:24Speaker 4: you don't have a college to beautiful back on your
- 26:26Speaker 4: twenty five you're actually making good money. It's not especially
- 26:29Speaker 4: good money's relative, but for a twenty five year old
- 26:31Speaker 4: at that time, yeah, it's good money. So what did
- 26:35Speaker 4: you like, what was your plan? Like, did you have
- 26:37Speaker 4: a plan to be an entrepreneur?
- 26:38Speaker 5: Like?
- 26:38Speaker 4: What did you do?
- 26:40Speaker 6: So?
- 26:40Speaker 3: I have my side hustle right, And one of the
- 26:43Speaker 3: stories that really gave me it was two things that
- 26:46Speaker 3: gave me the courage to make the jump. One, it
- 26:49Speaker 3: was just right after the anniversary of the million Man
- 26:52Speaker 3: March and the ringing sound to do for self, you
- 26:57Speaker 3: understand me kept coming into mind and just with the
- 27:00Speaker 3: feeling of who I know I was, that I knew
- 27:03Speaker 3: that there was an expiration to that anyway that you know,
- 27:07Speaker 3: my mindset in the trajectory of where I was going
- 27:10Speaker 3: that I couldn't continue to be me. You understand me,
- 27:13Speaker 3: the revolutionary that I believe I am, and worked for
- 27:17Speaker 3: a white boss. That's just one hundred percent. And so
- 27:21Speaker 3: after that anniversary, I remember riding around listening to it
- 27:23Speaker 3: because I didn't get to go to Washington, but the
- 27:26Speaker 3: ringing sounds that do for self came back into play
- 27:29Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, I gotta fire them. And
- 27:31Speaker 3: then my bro, mister Fab he had a store Dope
- 27:34Speaker 3: Erad Oakland Legend and that's my brother, and he had
- 27:40Speaker 3: some of my shirts at his store. It's like Issallama
- 27:43Speaker 3: Lakham and he put it into one of his videos.
- 27:46Speaker 3: It was six shots. I believe it was a Filando
- 27:49Speaker 3: canse Still I forget who it was that got shot
- 27:51Speaker 3: during that time, and it was on xx CEL and
- 27:53Speaker 3: things of that nature. And one of the ocs that
- 27:56Speaker 3: hit him up Muslim Brus and he was like, man,
- 27:59Speaker 3: I ain't know you had like with some gear and
- 28:00Speaker 3: things of that nature. He was like, oh yeah, that's
- 28:02Speaker 3: my bro. And so he was like, okay, I need
- 28:05Speaker 3: I need someone I get in town. So Bro ended
- 28:07Speaker 3: up flying in town and he wanted to get like
- 28:10Speaker 3: thousands of dollars worth of it, you understand me, Like
- 28:12Speaker 3: he ain't have enough in the store to cover, so
- 28:14Speaker 3: Fab hit me up. He's like, bro, I got somebody here.
- 28:16Speaker 3: They want to buy a couple of woo WAPs from you.
- 28:18Speaker 3: And I'm like, man, say no more. I happened to
- 28:20Speaker 3: be off that day, you understand me. So I loaded
- 28:23Speaker 3: up everything that I had. I peeled over there really fast,
- 28:28Speaker 3: understand me. And when I pulled up, he bought maybe
- 28:30Speaker 3: about fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars worth of gear.
- 28:33Speaker 3: And I just remember thinking in my head, like, man,
- 28:36Speaker 3: if I was at work, I would have never been
- 28:37Speaker 3: able to take the opportunity, understand me, which will allow
- 28:41Speaker 3: me to actually fire this job. So I knew that week.
- 28:45Speaker 3: I remember telling mister Fab that, yeah, I'm about to
- 28:48Speaker 3: fire my job, and like that same week, I actually
- 28:51Speaker 3: fired them. And I remember he was like, man, you crazy.
- 28:53Speaker 3: But because you know, I actually met him at product,
- 28:57Speaker 3: Like the first time I met him, I gave him
- 28:59Speaker 3: fifty percent off on his shoes that he was getting
- 29:02Speaker 3: for his birthday, I understand me, just because I feel like, yeah,
- 29:06Speaker 3: if you worked there, player, you ain't gonna work there forever.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Understand I mean, like people be holding on to things
- 29:11Speaker 3: that the nature. I was giving it out as much
- 29:13Speaker 3: as I could. But yeah, I learned a lesson during
- 29:17Speaker 3: that as well, because you know, as I teach people
- 29:20Speaker 3: to fire their job, now teaching more and so still
- 29:22Speaker 3: from your job. And then when you have enough that
- 29:24Speaker 3: you stole, you understand me, then that's when you can leave.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Because I did leave a little over zealous without a plan.
- 29:30Speaker 3: I had just got a new apartment. I didn't really
- 29:33Speaker 3: have a backup plan. I didn't have any financial strategies
- 29:36Speaker 3: in place, none of that. I just really had the
- 29:38Speaker 3: heart to do it, you understand me. And I felt like,
- 29:41Speaker 3: if I can do millions of dollars for them, I
- 29:43Speaker 3: know what I can do for myself. So that story
- 29:46Speaker 3: really goes to the fact that, yeah, I did think that,
- 29:49Speaker 3: you know, making one hundred thousand dollars a year with something,
- 29:52Speaker 3: and then I created a family business and you know,
- 29:55Speaker 3: we can make that in a month. So now, looking
- 29:58Speaker 3: at it in hindsight, of course, I would tell younger
- 30:01Speaker 3: me to do what you do, but I would give
- 30:02Speaker 3: them these points of advice, you understand me, to make
- 30:05Speaker 3: sure you have these plans in place. But it depends
- 30:07Speaker 3: on the person because some people live through that adversity
- 30:10Speaker 3: and that's what get them to that greatness. And you know,
- 30:13Speaker 3: other people have to have more of those things in
- 30:16Speaker 3: place and more plans in place in order for them
- 30:18Speaker 3: to get to whatever trajectory or goal that they have
- 30:21Speaker 3: in sight.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Yeah, in this time, is this where you come up
- 30:25Speaker 2: with your value of money? Because I'm gonna let you
- 30:27Speaker 2: explain it. I think it's brilliant. I actually tried to
- 30:29Speaker 2: do a whole lesson on the value of money, but
- 30:33Speaker 2: when I heard you speak about it, and it was like, Yo,
- 30:35Speaker 2: don't chase chase value, don't chase the things that buy value.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Is this the time period where you come up with
- 30:42Speaker 2: that theory or much later? Can you explain it there?
- 30:44Speaker 2: Because people need to have that.
- 30:46Speaker 3: So, like I wish I had anybody got some money
- 30:49Speaker 3: on them two honess? Yeah, So I mean it's simple. Really,
- 30:56Speaker 3: It'll work better if I had a dollar bill next
- 30:58Speaker 3: to this, right, because if you look at these blue
- 31:01Speaker 3: faces as we call them, you understand me. Yeah, let
- 31:03Speaker 3: me get that.
- 31:08Speaker 4: Man.
- 31:09Speaker 3: For the most part, the cost to make both of
- 31:12Speaker 3: these is just about the same, understand me. So what's
- 31:15Speaker 3: the value of them. Now, we spend our whole lives
- 31:19Speaker 3: chasing these things, but these are not the value. These
- 31:21Speaker 3: things are what you utilize to exchange for things of value.
- 31:24Speaker 3: But in our community we talk to chase the thing
- 31:27Speaker 3: that buys value instead of actually chase value. Now, when
- 31:30Speaker 3: you chase value, then this chases you because this is
- 31:33Speaker 3: meant to exchange for things of value. So it's like
- 31:36Speaker 3: if a person goes and get more knowledge, that's to me,
- 31:38Speaker 3: the quickest way to increase your value. Because all of
- 31:42Speaker 3: a sudden, if you spent the next year, and let's
- 31:45Speaker 3: say over that course of the year, you became a
- 31:47Speaker 3: genius at one particular subject, people will pay you for that. Why,
- 31:51Speaker 3: because you've increased your value and now they have these bills.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Is Fiat money which biys value. But then you also
- 31:57Speaker 3: have to understand money in the sense of like, this
- 32:01Speaker 3: is not the value at all, right, Like it don't
- 32:04Speaker 3: have any intrinsic value. This means that it can go
- 32:06Speaker 3: down to zero. Understand me, something like gold which or
- 32:09Speaker 3: is not that much gold in the world, It has
- 32:11Speaker 3: intrinsic values. There's value never gonna go down to zero,
- 32:15Speaker 3: you understand me. And so for me, I think about
- 32:18Speaker 3: the intrinsic value in the human capital that each person
- 32:20Speaker 3: has and your ability to consistently add value onto self.
- 32:24Speaker 3: So the moment that I stopped trying to chase a
- 32:26Speaker 3: goal of cash and things of that nature, and I said, well,
- 32:29Speaker 3: let me just continue to add value and give value. Right,
- 32:32Speaker 3: So more I give value, the more money a person
- 32:35Speaker 3: has to give me. So it's the same thing as
- 32:37Speaker 3: if I'm always worrying about like who has my money
- 32:40Speaker 3: in they pocket? Right, Like if you surround it, like
- 32:43Speaker 3: I live downtown and I know that there's millions of
- 32:46Speaker 3: dollars around me in circulation. Now how do I get
- 32:50Speaker 3: into that flow of money? Understand me? What value can
- 32:53Speaker 3: I add? So people start exchanging that money for my value.
- 32:57Speaker 3: So like right now, let's say if I told you
- 32:59Speaker 3: about course or a book that I had, all of
- 33:01Speaker 3: a sudden, you go in your pocket and you give
- 33:03Speaker 3: me some of your money because you just exchange it
- 33:05Speaker 3: for value. But if I just say broken, I have
- 33:08Speaker 3: one hundred dollars, that's not the same you understand you,
- 33:10Speaker 3: Or if I'm around you and I'm just thinking like, man,
- 33:12Speaker 3: I get some money, understand me, Nah, I go straight
- 33:16Speaker 3: for the value and only the value. So I don't
- 33:18Speaker 3: chase money because when you chase value, money chases you.
- 33:21Speaker 3: You understand me. And it really goes to getting rid
- 33:24Speaker 3: of your cognitive dissonance and your programming towards money and
- 33:29Speaker 3: really just updating your mindset when it comes to money itself,
- 33:32Speaker 3: like this is nothing Like cash is trash, you understand me.
- 33:36Speaker 3: And even understanding that concept like having all your money
- 33:39Speaker 3: leveraged in cash, really push you at a big risk,
- 33:42Speaker 3: especially as inflation rises and as the dollar decreases, and
- 33:46Speaker 3: understanding the international monetary systems that we live in today,
- 33:51Speaker 3: and those are not things that's taught in the average
- 33:53Speaker 3: household of Black America. So yeah, we chase too much
- 33:57Speaker 3: cash instead of value.
- 33:58Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's all reminds me of Derek Falcon, one
- 34:01Speaker 4: of our most famous alumnis for us at least, he's
- 34:04Speaker 4: he's a legend when it comes down to change the
- 34:07Speaker 4: whole situation. But what he said was he was like,
- 34:09Speaker 4: stop lining yourself, stop lining your life up with bills,
- 34:12Speaker 4: and start lining your life up with purpose. And it's
- 34:14Speaker 4: like what you just said, like chase the purpose. And
- 34:16Speaker 4: it's like even for us, it's like, you know, for us,
- 34:18Speaker 4: we feel like we're providing value when we're doing purpose
- 34:21Speaker 4: and we like doing what we're doing as opposed to's
- 34:23Speaker 4: just like I'm chasing a bag. But the more you
- 34:26Speaker 4: chase money, the more it's gonna run from you.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, you know for a fact that it's
- 34:32Speaker 3: much harder to get interviews when you don't have that
- 34:35Speaker 3: value already out there, your value proposition as this call.
- 34:38Speaker 3: You understand me. It's like that person may be too
- 34:40Speaker 3: busy for you. Why because time has a certain value
- 34:43Speaker 3: on it. But when I can exchange my time for
- 34:45Speaker 3: something to equal with greater value than cool, I mean
- 34:48Speaker 3: people hitting you up, You understand me? When you call,
- 34:50Speaker 3: they absolutely saying yes because that makes sense.
- 34:53Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's exactly, that's not that's pretty pretty accurate.
- 34:57Speaker 4: So you talk about diversification, I'm interested to know is
- 35:01Speaker 4: that's diversifying your investments to diversifying. Yeah, do you have
- 35:04Speaker 4: a strategy for diversification?
- 35:07Speaker 3: So with diversification, so let's let's speak directly on money then, right,
- 35:11Speaker 3: So it's really about leveraging yourself, you understand me. So
- 35:15Speaker 3: in this particular market that we live in now, you
- 35:18Speaker 3: all know that inflation and your audience know because y'all
- 35:21Speaker 3: be talking about so I ain't bringing that new to y'all.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Understand me that inflation is rise at three percent and
- 35:29Speaker 3: we know that. Let's say if the dollar was to
- 35:31Speaker 3: go down, like really decline, you got all your cash holdings,
- 35:34Speaker 3: all your money and cash.

- 37:27Speaker 7: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 37:31Speaker 7: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
- 37:35Speaker 7: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
- 37:39Speaker 7: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 37:43Speaker 7: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 37:47Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the United States
- 37:50Speaker 7: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 37:55Speaker 7: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 37:59Speaker 7: one hundred third tho illegal aliens have been arrested. If
- 38:02Speaker 7: you were here illegally, you're next. You will be fine
- 38:06Speaker 7: nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you
- 38:10Speaker 7: will never return. But if you register using our CBP
- 38:14Speaker 7: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to
- 38:16Speaker 7: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,
- 38:21Speaker 7: America's laws, border and families will.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Understand me. Now, that means that you at grave risk,
- 38:33Speaker 3: understand me, to lose it all. And this is really
- 38:35Speaker 3: why we don't have any wealth in our community whatsoever.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Because as my brother Chris Cole he speaks about this,
- 38:41Speaker 3: you know, we think transactional base instead of purchasing power
- 38:45Speaker 3: percentage base. So when you're talking about wealth, you're talking
- 38:48Speaker 3: about having consistent purchasing power itself. Now, if the dollar
- 38:53Speaker 3: decreases then so does your purchase and power it decreases.
- 38:56Speaker 3: So maybe I need to have some of my money
- 38:59Speaker 3: leveraged in gold, right because it's a dollar decrease and
- 39:02Speaker 3: people lose faith in this dollar. Now they may have
- 39:05Speaker 3: more faith in gold, or they may have more faith
- 39:08Speaker 3: in treasury bonds. Understand me. Now, understanding that just aspect
- 39:13Speaker 3: of thinking, which probably somebody who may be listening to
- 39:16Speaker 3: this for the first time might not understand still that concept,
- 39:20Speaker 3: like you really have to sort of get into it
- 39:22Speaker 3: to start understanding stop thinking transactional. But for me, it's
- 39:25Speaker 3: the same thing when it goes towards anything in diversification, like, yes,
- 39:30Speaker 3: I may have a book, but what a booksells decline?
- 39:33Speaker 3: All right, well maybe I can do speaking, well, what
- 39:35Speaker 3: if the speaking events decline? Understand me, Where I can
- 39:37Speaker 3: start doing teaching? Well, what if the teaching Well I
- 39:39Speaker 3: got a product, Well, what about I can't do the product.
- 39:41Speaker 3: Maybe I can build somebody's website like that skill set
- 39:44Speaker 3: diversification for me. So for me, it's always keeping yourself
- 39:48Speaker 3: leveraged so that your value never goes to zero. You
- 39:50Speaker 3: minimize your risk at the same time, you understand me
- 39:53Speaker 3: and you can continue to have power or purchase and
- 39:56Speaker 3: power on the marketplace. So with black folks, we should
- 39:59Speaker 3: never always have have our money in cash, and we
- 40:01Speaker 3: should have a diversified portfolio with different commodities and assets
- 40:05Speaker 3: that we can leverage with and learning how to hedge them.
- 40:08Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting that you say that, because that's the
- 40:10Speaker 4: same thing with us as far as like our revenue streams.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Like for in a Ligia, we had a bunch of
- 40:14Speaker 4: different revenue streams. Fortunately, because it's like live events was
- 40:17Speaker 4: a big one for us. And when COVID HiT's like,
- 40:21Speaker 4: we just doubled down on our content right and started
- 40:23Speaker 4: doing different a lot of other stuff. But if we
- 40:26Speaker 4: would have been relying solely on live events, we'd be screwed.
- 40:32Speaker 5: It'd be real dark for us.
- 40:34Speaker 3: But the beautiful thing, look, how many and this is
- 40:36Speaker 3: one of those shameless things or people feel guilty when
- 40:39Speaker 3: they say, is that they're doing so well during the
- 40:42Speaker 3: COVID nineteen period. And that's because some people didn't even
- 40:45Speaker 3: realize that they were very leveraged for this time. You
- 40:49Speaker 3: understand me that they did have a diversified portfolio, at
- 40:52Speaker 3: least mentally just through the skill set that they've acquired
- 40:55Speaker 3: throughout time, like they didn't realize that, oh I would
- 40:57Speaker 3: actually pivot very great during this time. But I look
- 41:01Speaker 3: at you know, minimizing risks, were more so thinking about
- 41:05Speaker 3: what's the worst that could happen. Like last year when
- 41:07Speaker 3: we were doing our tour, we were telling people that,
- 41:09Speaker 3: you know, the stock market go be a bubble, things
- 41:11Speaker 3: go bust, and people was asking, well, what would you do?
- 41:14Speaker 3: And I just kept thinking last year, I told them
- 41:16Speaker 3: that twenty nineteen was a year of the keys. Twenty
- 41:18Speaker 3: twenty is not really the year where you just start something.
- 41:21Speaker 3: Twenty twenty was the year you already have something starting
- 41:23Speaker 3: your building on it, you understand me. And those people
- 41:25Speaker 3: who have something starting was building on it found themselves
- 41:28Speaker 3: to have some of their best months, understand me, because
- 41:30Speaker 3: they had skill sets that they can easily pivot, and
- 41:33Speaker 3: so when one thing went down, they put all of
- 41:35Speaker 3: their energy and focus. Now they may income sources not working,
- 41:39Speaker 3: here is another income source that they was able to maximize.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Though, I think we should have you write our book.
- 41:46Speaker 2: I mean really literally are telling our story. This is
- 41:48Speaker 2: pretty good. Can we talk about products because I know
- 41:51Speaker 2: and I thought it really interesting, right the Crowns product
- 41:55Speaker 2: because I'm reading all the stuff about you, and I'm
- 41:58Speaker 2: like technology, Yes, sirry, where'd you get the interest in this?
- 42:02Speaker 2: Because I know the crown has the EMF technology electromagnetic frequency.
- 42:06Speaker 2: I'll let you explain it. But where did you love
- 42:08Speaker 2: an interest in peak for technology? When did this happen?
- 42:12Speaker 3: Man? I couldn't tell you when that started. I've always
- 42:15Speaker 3: loved technology, you understand me, Like maybe it came from
- 42:18Speaker 3: being a youngster. And you know, we used to break down.
- 42:23Speaker 3: Me and my younger brother used to break down like
- 42:26Speaker 3: machine parts and batteries and magnets and things of that nature,
- 42:29Speaker 3: and build like we used to take the washing machines
- 42:33Speaker 3: and build the race cars and things of that nature.
- 42:35Speaker 3: You understand me, Like we was real hands on when
- 42:37Speaker 3: we was younger. And I just always loved the concept
- 42:40Speaker 3: of technology. I read the Tech Insiders and just the
- 42:44Speaker 3: different magazines and keep up with what was to come
- 42:47Speaker 3: at all times. But really for the crowns, you understand me,
- 42:52Speaker 3: because the crown that I wear is symbols, and really
- 42:55Speaker 3: that's the important part on it. The symbols are a
- 42:58Speaker 3: subconscious language. You can't tell a symbol no understand me
- 43:02Speaker 3: the same way if you see a Toyoda emblem, the
- 43:06Speaker 3: or Coca Cola bottle, the messaging from every commercial that's
- 43:09Speaker 3: been marketed to you, it's gonna start playing. There's landscape
- 43:13Speaker 3: that they've already took over in your head. And so
- 43:16Speaker 3: the power with symbols is that you know they have
- 43:19Speaker 3: the ability to spark this inner knowing in you. You
- 43:23Speaker 3: understand me. When we see certain symbols that's universal. Our DNA,
- 43:27Speaker 3: you understand me communicates with it. Now in the hoods
- 43:31Speaker 3: of America, when you watch the movie Colors, it taught
- 43:33Speaker 3: black people the propaganda of gang you understand me and
- 43:39Speaker 3: how to wear wish colors throw up different things. Understand me.
- 43:42Speaker 3: It sparked that interest all across America. And I think
- 43:45Speaker 3: about propaganda understand me in the way of the same
- 43:48Speaker 3: way I think about design. Understand me. And I think
- 43:50Speaker 3: about fashion as a particular technology that communicates who you are.
- 43:55Speaker 3: Understand me, And so for me, I create products that
- 43:58Speaker 3: communicate problems but crates. So when I think about EMF
- 44:03Speaker 3: electromagnetic frequency protection, and I think about the five G stuff,
- 44:08Speaker 3: right like, everybody went crazy for the five G for
- 44:10Speaker 3: a couple of months, but we was a couple of
- 44:12Speaker 3: years ahead, just thinking about more, so not even just
- 44:15Speaker 3: five G, because the five G implications go beyond you
- 44:18Speaker 3: know what people think about the dangers and more and
- 44:20Speaker 3: so go about the Internet of Things and super surveillance
- 44:23Speaker 3: and all of that stuff. But when I think about
- 44:27Speaker 3: any technology and the harmfulness that comes around it, how
- 44:30Speaker 3: do you protect yourself? And then how do you communicate
- 44:32Speaker 3: a problem without going into that conspiracy world? You understand me?
- 44:36Speaker 3: Like I'd rather be like, look, I have MF protection
- 44:39Speaker 3: ZORBS and then they're like, what I need that for?
- 44:41Speaker 3: I was like, well, let me tell you some of
- 44:42Speaker 3: the problems that of rise. You know what I mean.
- 44:44Speaker 3: Chicago Tribune actually did a study on cell phone technology
- 44:47Speaker 3: and say that it was actually over the allotted rate
- 44:50Speaker 3: that cell phone should be emitting radiation. So you may
- 44:52Speaker 3: have it in your pocket and it may me messing
- 44:54Speaker 3: with your little swimmers. Understand me. I'm just saying, you
- 44:58Speaker 3: may be getting headaches and not know what it's for.
- 45:01Speaker 3: So my way of first creating the solution and then
- 45:05Speaker 3: bring the awareness to the problem. And so I said, well,
- 45:08Speaker 3: let's combine fashion and tech. You understand me, Let's put
- 45:12Speaker 3: this technology in there, because not only am I have
- 45:14Speaker 3: you representing who you are. You understand me when you
- 45:17Speaker 3: walk in the room, but it's protecting your mind at
- 45:19Speaker 3: the same time. So it's really like a quadruple dimension.
- 45:23Speaker 3: Like these symbols resonate so that you can tap into
- 45:27Speaker 3: that universal mindset. You represent that universal mindset by wearing them,
- 45:31Speaker 3: and you protect that mind you understand me all at
- 45:33Speaker 3: the same time. And then we got augmented reality coming next.
- 45:37Speaker 3: For the Crowns.
- 45:38Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
- 45:38Speaker 4: So there's a chip in the crown Yeah.
- 45:42Speaker 3: What exactly. It's a small chip and it has composite
- 45:45Speaker 3: minerals that's combined. And what that does is so for
- 45:49Speaker 3: the dangerous radiation, you understand me, it actually breaks down
- 45:53Speaker 3: that into short waves so that it doesn't have the
- 45:55Speaker 3: same effect that it normally would have if you had
- 45:59Speaker 3: no protect around you whatsoever. Understand me. So, and I
- 46:04Speaker 3: don't just have the Crowns. We got the gold Water
- 46:07Speaker 3: and a multitude of other different things, like we kind
- 46:10Speaker 3: of go real scientific.
- 46:12Speaker 5: I saw the mask.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Yeah, we got the mask. Yeah, you know, we be
- 46:17Speaker 3: working man. The gold Water is the family business though,
- 46:20Speaker 3: like that's the one that I started with the family.
- 46:22Speaker 3: The other one I started completely by myself.
- 46:25Speaker 4: So what's what's the science behind the gold water? Like,
- 46:27Speaker 4: what's the deal with that?
- 46:28Speaker 3: So we're born with zero points zero two percent of
- 46:30Speaker 3: gold within our body, like physical goal, physical the actual goal.
- 46:34Speaker 4: That you're wearing.
- 46:35Speaker 3: Yes, actual real gold. So scientists had discovered like they
- 46:39Speaker 3: were saying, Okay, why will we need gold? Why are
- 46:41Speaker 3: we born with gold? Gold is one of those one
- 46:43Speaker 3: hundred and two minerals that doctor Sebby said that we need,
- 46:45Speaker 3: right And when you look at gold within the body,
- 46:50Speaker 3: it's there for anti inflammation and it's also there for
- 46:55Speaker 3: electricity within the nerves. Understand me. Now, gold is a
- 46:58Speaker 3: heavy metal, so it's a super conductive of electricity. It's
- 47:01Speaker 3: the only metal that doesn't rust. Now, ancient societies have
- 47:04Speaker 3: been mining gold. It's been used as a money for
- 47:06Speaker 3: over five thousand years, and it's been mindful of one
- 47:09Speaker 3: hundred thousand years when you go into the deep sciences
- 47:12Speaker 3: of the Ananaki or the Egyptians or even in the UK,
- 47:16Speaker 3: and even today they utilize it in cancer and tumor
- 47:20Speaker 3: radiation technology. And so the gold in your body, because
- 47:25Speaker 3: it has a bio availability and you break down the gold,
- 47:28Speaker 3: the only thing that's in there is dionized water and gold.
- 47:31Speaker 3: And the thing people always ask them, do I need
- 47:33Speaker 3: to mix it? No, you just take it and you
- 47:34Speaker 3: drink it. And so what it does for me is
- 47:38Speaker 3: it increases hand eye coordination, mental acuity, which one of
- 47:42Speaker 3: the best things. I like lucid dreaming because some people
- 47:45Speaker 3: always tell us they had their first dream in years.
- 47:48Speaker 3: And it's funny like people that say it made me smarter,
- 47:51Speaker 3: and we don't market it that way. But the side
- 47:54Speaker 3: effect is this that you have the hippocampus area of
- 47:57Speaker 3: brain which regulates moved memory and learn it. Now. Of course,
- 48:00Speaker 3: after the age of twenty five, you understand me. Your
- 48:03Speaker 3: neuroplasticity doesn't work the same way. And so when you
- 48:07Speaker 3: drink it, especially if you drink it before you go
- 48:09Speaker 3: to sleep, it's going to get you into that deep
- 48:11Speaker 3: stage of sleep by a way sleep. And so when
- 48:13Speaker 3: you in that deep sleep, your brain actually secretes a
- 48:16Speaker 3: fluid over the ridges of your brain and it clears
- 48:18Speaker 3: out neurotoxics, so you much clear throughout the day. Now,
- 48:22Speaker 3: some people eat at the ten o'clock and it messes
- 48:24Speaker 3: with that function. So sometime you wake up and your
- 48:27Speaker 3: brain is a little foggy and things of that nature.
- 48:29Speaker 3: You need a whole lot of coffee, so you can
- 48:31Speaker 3: we know some guys like that, yeah, I mean, you know,
- 48:34Speaker 3: especially in an entrepreneur world. I used to have I
- 48:36Speaker 3: used to need coffee, like addicted to coffee. And that's
- 48:40Speaker 3: one of the things that it actually does is it
- 48:43Speaker 3: helped curve certain addictions, like coffee addictions, you understand me,
- 48:47Speaker 3: and London, it was used to curve alcoholism. But to
- 48:51Speaker 3: my point though, the fact that when people go to
- 48:54Speaker 3: sleep and they get into the deep sleep, they become
- 48:56Speaker 3: much more well rested, you understand me. Their brain is
- 48:58Speaker 3: much clearer, that moved memory and learning is now facilitated
- 49:02Speaker 3: to when they wake up they feel sharper, you understanding.
- 49:05Speaker 3: They neurons are connected, so now their memory is increased
- 49:08Speaker 3: and things of that nature. So now they talk about,
- 49:10Speaker 3: oh I ain't got smarter, I'm more focused things of
- 49:11Speaker 3: that nature. The average person doesn't get the correct amount
- 49:14Speaker 3: of sleep, and when they do sleep, they don't sleep
- 49:17Speaker 3: based on a biological function. They sleep based on their
- 49:19Speaker 3: work time and when they need to get up.
- 49:21Speaker 4: Now, it's actually very true, and it's something that especially
- 49:25Speaker 4: for entrepreneurs because there's a lot of entrepreneurs that listen
- 49:27Speaker 4: to ear Lesia and I'm even guilty of it myself.
- 49:30Speaker 4: But you gotta get a good night sleep. It's like
- 49:33Speaker 4: your parents tell you that when you're a kid, but
- 49:35Speaker 4: it's something that most people are sleep deprived. And not
- 49:38Speaker 4: only does it affect your health, but it affects you
- 49:41Speaker 4: your mental capacity. It affects everything, your mood, your mood
- 49:44Speaker 4: swings and all kinds of stuff. And it's just like,
- 49:46Speaker 4: that's why there's a reason why, like pilots have to
- 49:48Speaker 4: have a certain amount of rest time, and like truckers
- 49:51Speaker 4: have to have a certain amount of trust because it's
- 49:52Speaker 4: like your brain is not fully functioning at a high
- 49:56Speaker 4: level if you're tired. That's like the easiest way to
- 49:58Speaker 4: really explain it, Like your brain's not sure at a
- 50:00Speaker 4: high level when you're tired. So we can talk about business,
- 50:03Speaker 4: but we also have to talk about health if your
- 50:05Speaker 4: health isn't there, and that's a major part of health
- 50:07Speaker 4: for sure.
- 50:08Speaker 2: I think one of the things you've said, and you
- 50:09Speaker 2: brought up the word addiction, and I was like, yo,
- 50:12Speaker 2: obviously listening to you, I'm like, Yo, that's brilliant, right,
- 50:14Speaker 2: Like you said you were addicted to production and productivity
- 50:18Speaker 2: versus procrastination. When when did you get to this level
- 50:23Speaker 2: of productivity? Was it like you know what all money in,
- 50:26Speaker 2: I got it?
- 50:27Speaker 5: This is me? Or nothing? Like how do we get
- 50:29Speaker 5: to that level of consciousness? And thought?
- 50:32Speaker 3: You know, it's been a journey of really learning myself.
- 50:35Speaker 3: Understand me? Like, so I got a story of the
- 50:39Speaker 3: first lazy person in history. Understand me, and the first
- 50:43Speaker 3: lazy person in history. You gotta imagine it's two people
- 50:46Speaker 3: and say they in Egypt and they building the pyramid.
- 50:49Speaker 3: Understand me, And one of them just stopped me, like,
- 50:52Speaker 3: you know what, let's do this tomorrow, and bro, like,
- 50:55Speaker 3: what's tomorrow? You're like, well, it's a time where we
- 50:57Speaker 3: don't have to do it right now, but we can
- 50:59Speaker 3: do it later. And to me, that idea of tomorrow
- 51:03Speaker 3: is for procrastinators, you understand me. It's for people that
- 51:06Speaker 3: are lazy. And I remember when I felt like I
- 51:09Speaker 3: was procrastinating and I wanted to get certain things done,
- 51:12Speaker 3: and I actually took a course on how not to procrastinate.
- 51:14Speaker 3: You understand me, Like that's the type of person I am, Like,
- 51:17Speaker 3: I want to study self. Understand me. So I started
- 51:20Speaker 3: studying the science of procrastination. And so it's like, let's
- 51:23Speaker 3: say that scientists had did a scan and a study
- 51:28Speaker 3: on a person that procrastinates and the task that they
- 51:31Speaker 3: actually need to want to complete, and there was a
- 51:33Speaker 3: correlation between pain and procrastination. You understand me that when
- 51:38Speaker 3: a person thinks about a task that they don't want
- 51:40Speaker 3: to do, it lights up the same signals in a
- 51:41Speaker 3: brain that pain does. So performing that task would literally
- 51:45Speaker 3: be painful for instead, they're like, you know what, I'll
- 51:47Speaker 3: do that later, you understand me, because it's too painful
- 51:49Speaker 3: to go to that threshold. So that's why I consider
- 51:52Speaker 3: procrastination the abortion clinical genius. Understand me, Like, instead of
- 51:56Speaker 3: going through and birth in that thought, you are afraid
- 51:59Speaker 3: of that. And there's a part when a woman gets
- 52:02Speaker 3: pregnant to where she's about to give birth. It's called
- 52:05Speaker 3: the crowning face. It's the most painful aspect of it,
- 52:08Speaker 3: trying to push that baby out. Yeah, that's when she
- 52:12Speaker 3: kind of want to retort a little bit like nah.
- 52:14Speaker 3: But for entrepreneurs, you have the idea, understand me, and
- 52:18Speaker 3: you have to go through that painful process of keeping
- 52:21Speaker 3: that idea protected during the pregnancy of that idea and
- 52:24Speaker 3: then when it's really time for you to give birth
- 52:26Speaker 3: to it, that's when you might procrastinate the most because
- 52:28Speaker 3: that's when the fear comes, like, damn, what if I
- 52:30Speaker 3: actually successful with this whatever it may be? Understand me.
- 52:34Speaker 3: So a lot of people procrastinate and their genius never
- 52:37Speaker 3: gets birth, that idea never comes to fruition. So for me,
- 52:41Speaker 3: I think, especially after I fired my job, I just
- 52:44Speaker 3: knew that it was all dependent on me, that there's
- 52:47Speaker 3: no paycheck. I'm definitely not going back to a job.
- 52:50Speaker 3: So I knew that whatever that parachute that has to
- 52:53Speaker 3: open when you jump off that cliff, that I had
- 52:55Speaker 3: to make that my work ethic. Understand me. So I
- 52:58Speaker 3: find a way every single day to get something done,
- 53:01Speaker 3: you understand me. And then doing something every day, I
- 53:03Speaker 3: assure that I don't procrastinate.
- 53:06Speaker 4: What's your what's your what's your your daily routine? Because
- 53:09Speaker 4: I used to do list. I don't know if you
- 53:10Speaker 4: use a to do list, but like, because this is
- 53:12Speaker 4: something that's like procrastination is a real big thing. It's
- 53:15Speaker 4: something that's small in the grand scheme of thing, but
- 53:18Speaker 4: it's huge because it's like this stops people from actually
- 53:22Speaker 4: doing anything, Like most people are procrastinating by nature. So
- 53:25Speaker 4: like I said, for me personally, I have a to
- 53:27Speaker 4: do list and that kind of helps me. But even
- 53:29Speaker 4: with that, I don't always finish everything' about to do.
- 53:32Speaker 4: So like, do you have like a set thing where
- 53:34Speaker 4: I like, I'm not going to sleep like my man
- 53:36Speaker 4: Spurgo shout out to Spurgo. That's what he was like
- 53:40Speaker 4: when he was just starting out some T shirts. He
- 53:43Speaker 4: was like eleven years old, twelve years old. He was
- 53:44Speaker 4: like he did he made it a point where he
- 53:47Speaker 4: told his mom He's not going home until he got
- 53:49Speaker 4: rid of every T shirt. So he didn't have an
- 53:51Speaker 4: option of going home until he got rid of his
- 53:54Speaker 4: T shirts. Like you know what I'm saying, So like
- 53:57Speaker 4: what's what's your what's your your method that you use
- 53:59Speaker 4: for procrastinating.
- 54:02Speaker 3: It's interesting because I think I've gotten to a good
- 54:04Speaker 3: mindset where I'm at and me, I don't put pressure
- 54:08Speaker 3: on myself, understand me, I more so have a big goal,
- 54:12Speaker 3: right and let's say I know what I need to
- 54:13Speaker 3: get done throughout this week, and I more so make
- 54:17Speaker 3: sure that every single day I'm doing something towards that goal.
- 54:20Speaker 3: And I more have a better system of management. You
- 54:22Speaker 3: understand me, rather than just creating strict standards. So and management,
- 54:28Speaker 3: especially in business terms, is and ministering your activities to
- 54:31Speaker 3: get to set obligation and goals. So for me, every
- 54:35Speaker 3: day I have to think how I'm going to manage myself.
- 54:37Speaker 3: Do I focus on Goldwater today? Do I focus on
- 54:39Speaker 3: nineteen Keys today? Do I focus on the politics of
- 54:42Speaker 3: the world? Do I focus on the revolution?
- 54:44Speaker 6: Like?
- 54:44Speaker 3: Which one? Am I giving my energy to understand me?
- 54:47Speaker 3: Because I'm polymatic. My skill sets spanned in many different areas.
- 54:51Speaker 3: So with doing that, you can find yourself, you know,
- 54:54Speaker 3: spread pretty thin. And I try to make sure that
- 54:57Speaker 3: I don't do that. I put things over my weeks.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Understand me, Like this week we're doing the family business meeting,
- 55:02Speaker 3: we're doing the gold Water. We were making sure that
- 55:04Speaker 3: we're doing the branding and marketing the other week. You
- 55:07Speaker 3: know what, we got to focus on the people. Understand me.
- 55:09Speaker 3: I have to create the training regiments. We got to
- 55:11Speaker 3: go out there and show them what's the time and
- 55:14Speaker 3: what needs to happen during this time. Understand me. So
- 55:17Speaker 3: it's more so a system of management every day. But
- 55:20Speaker 3: then in my book, paradigm keys solution based mind reprogramming.
- 55:24Speaker 3: I do outlet a regiment and win in the morning
- 55:28Speaker 3: and throughout the day. You understand me. And really, I
- 55:31Speaker 3: take cold showers and I've been doing that for about
- 55:33Speaker 3: two years. And them cold showers is to remind you daily, yo,
- 55:39Speaker 3: And they remind me of my goal because it's an incantation,
- 55:43Speaker 3: like it's a physical thing that's also attached to your goal. Yeah,
- 55:48Speaker 3: so when I wake up, I know it reminds me
- 55:51Speaker 3: of what I'm doing it for. So now I'm thinking,
- 55:53Speaker 3: like you took this cold shower, what you take it for?
- 55:55Speaker 3: Understand me. Now, I got to think of a goal
- 55:56Speaker 3: that I must complete. But it's true and tried and
- 56:00Speaker 3: test it anytime that I win. The morning, I wake up,
- 56:02Speaker 3: I do my push ups, I get in some meditation
- 56:04Speaker 3: before I touch this phone, so my brain not reactive.
- 56:07Speaker 3: I take my gold water, I do my cold showers.
- 56:09Speaker 3: I burst my teeth with the opposite hand, I may read.
- 56:12Speaker 3: My mind is ready. I make my bed up. You
- 56:15Speaker 3: understand me. I smell first thing when I get up.
- 56:17Speaker 3: If I follow that regiment, Understand me, my mind is
- 56:20Speaker 3: looking for the next task. Understand me, because I'm already
- 56:23Speaker 3: on the road.
- 56:26Speaker 4: You have to shock your system. I learned that earlier.
- 56:28Speaker 4: I used to play basketball superstar Star. Okay, sorry, now
- 56:37Speaker 4: I take an ice bath and ice pass for recovery.
- 56:41Speaker 4: But it's also it shocks your system. And so if
- 56:43Speaker 4: anybody knows, like you know cold, like I hate cold.
- 56:46Speaker 4: We've been having this conversation all month. Everybody else loves
- 56:49Speaker 4: cold for some reason. So, but but warm, warm temperatures
- 56:53Speaker 4: kind of like relax. You and Susi and so I
- 56:55Speaker 4: used to live in Hawaii and any island that you
- 56:58Speaker 4: go to, people are more relax, laid back, don't worry,
- 57:02Speaker 4: which is a good thing, but it's also kind of
- 57:05Speaker 4: like it can you. It can kind of like make
- 57:09Speaker 4: you to the point where you don't want to do
- 57:10Speaker 4: anything right because it's like, but when you shock your system,
- 57:14Speaker 4: it's like cold, so like you wake up. So I
- 57:15Speaker 4: say that to say little things like that, you have
- 57:18Speaker 4: to change your patterns, like you said, like brush your
- 57:21Speaker 4: teeth with the opportunity.
- 57:22Speaker 5: I'm in my mind, I'm like, I just want to
- 57:24Speaker 5: know the reason for it.
- 57:25Speaker 3: Well, when you do that, you stimulate them nervesselves, because
- 57:29Speaker 3: now your brain is not operating from a program it's
- 57:32Speaker 3: operating outside the box of how you normally program. You
- 57:35Speaker 3: understand me. And so now those particular parts of your
- 57:38Speaker 3: brain and strengthen and neumal connections and neural activity up there.
- 57:42Speaker 3: You understand me. So now you're breaking from your normal regimen.
- 57:45Speaker 3: Like anything that you do, that's your routine. You don't
- 57:48Speaker 3: have to think. Understand me. That's putting no pressure on yourself,
- 57:51Speaker 3: no growth whatsoever. It's just a routine. Which is why
- 57:54Speaker 3: you can become comfortable as an entrepreneur because you get
- 57:57Speaker 3: used to a certain level. You understand me, and in
- 58:00Speaker 3: that level, there's no accomplishment in the maintenance of a level.
- 58:04Speaker 3: That's just routine. You understand me. It's not until you
- 58:06Speaker 3: want to go to another level. Now you gotta grow.
- 58:09Speaker 3: Understand me, and so it's about neural growth. You understand me,
- 58:13Speaker 3: because now your brain has to think. You're using the
- 58:15Speaker 3: opposite hand. Do I go up and down? Do I
- 58:17Speaker 3: go a rotate? You understand me. Now your brain is
- 58:19Speaker 3: actually functioning.
- 58:20Speaker 5: For the day.
- 58:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking of a time when I had
- 58:23Speaker 2: to we had no hot water, I had to take
- 58:25Speaker 2: a coach show.
- 58:25Speaker 5: It was it sounded like somebody was getting hurt in
- 58:28Speaker 5: the back.
- 58:29Speaker 4: But even that's why you should take different rids home
- 58:32Speaker 4: from work, because it's like something like if you take
- 58:34Speaker 4: the same route home from work every single day, like
- 58:37Speaker 4: you're being, like you said's program even something slightest that
- 58:40Speaker 4: taking a different route, it reprograms your brain because now
- 58:43Speaker 4: you have to actually think, because it's not you could
- 58:45Speaker 4: just literally get in your car and drive and just
- 58:47Speaker 4: not even think about it if you go the same
- 58:49Speaker 4: way everywhere. So little stuff like that has seemingly important.
- 58:51Speaker 4: I like what you said as far as like entrepreneurs
- 58:53Speaker 4: becoming comfortable, because like people say, you can become comfortable
- 58:55Speaker 4: at a job, but you can also become comfortable as
- 58:58Speaker 4: an entrepreneur. Absolutely like you to making enough money you
- 59:01Speaker 4: survived on whatever, how much money is whatever. But it's
- 59:03Speaker 4: like you're at that level, and it's like now to
- 59:06Speaker 4: make the next level, to start a new business, to
- 59:08Speaker 4: enhance your business, to hire new people. It's like, now
- 59:11Speaker 4: that's scared. Even though you've already made the first jump,
- 59:14Speaker 4: you still have to continue to It's.
- 59:16Speaker 5: Like keep a joint.
- 59:17Speaker 4: It's like Mario Brothers.
- 59:20Speaker 5: Level.
- 59:20Speaker 4: It's the game's not over until it's over.
- 59:24Speaker 3: My mottol is life is about the journey, not the destination.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Only destination life is death. And my pops used to
- 59:30Speaker 3: tell me that time is a measurement of motion. Only
- 59:32Speaker 3: dead man don't move. So when I think about that,
- 59:35Speaker 3: as long as you stay in motion in life, then
- 59:37Speaker 3: you actually live it like you are alive. But you
- 59:40Speaker 3: get to a point when you go look at that
- 59:42Speaker 3: retirement home, they're moving slower and slower into one day.
- 59:46Speaker 3: They don't move at all. So for my goal is
- 59:48Speaker 3: to be constant in perpetual motion.
- 59:51Speaker 4: Yeah. No, it's powerful. It's powerful, and it's something that,
- 59:54Speaker 4: like you said, most people don't even think about it. Nah,
- 59:57Speaker 4: And then it's like before you know it, you're like
- 59:59Speaker 4: seven years old and it's like you done slowed down.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: Your joints are working. Nah, I can't do that.
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: Traveling helps a lot too, though.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: I love traveling. Traveling, understand me, because it activates different
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: hemispheres of the brain when you travel. It activates DNA
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: within you when you travel. I just left Mexico and
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: it was just something that I felt connected, you understand me.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Like I was out there with the homies and they yeah,
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: shouting Neill, we flew out there, they had left. I
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: actually went to the airport and I got all the
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: way to the gate, but something told me to stay
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: a couple more days. And yeah, when I turn back left,
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: I came back and the homie was coming out there,
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: my good brother Pop Darby, and so we went to
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: the what's the days you understand Me? And there's some
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: diving and things of that nature. And I actually it
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: felt like now I felt like I've been to Mexico. Now,
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: I felt like I connected, you understand me?
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: Like you got two kind of people in this world,
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: those that asked why and those that say why not?
- 1:00:57Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: Why not? Like like Jamal shot at Jamal. We went
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: to Asia a few years ago for thirty days with
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: no itinerary. We just winged it with the five countries.
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: And me was like, why would you do that? Why
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: would I not do that?
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: That's the question live, I mean life, like we ain't
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: get no repeats at this, only get one shot.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: So no, go ahead.
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: I want to talk about your programs because you got
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: you got several different programs that you have. As you said,
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: you you you quit your job, you fired your job
- 1:01:28Speaker 4: teacher to be a teacher. I like that, and I
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: teach you like a public school teacher, but disrespect the
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: public teacher.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: I become a teacher. I fired my job to start
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: a business.
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: That's a fact. Dropped out of school to become a teacher.
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: You can't teach me. I'm teaching you exactly. So what
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: what What's what's the deal with your education? Because I
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: looked at you got a couple of different platforms.
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: So we had the New America class that was earlier
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: in the year. Usually only teach one master class a year,
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: and that's just because at the beginning of the year,
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: I think about what's going to be the concept for
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: the year and what's going to be the thinking structure,
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: and I usually give all of that out as far
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: as what's going to be my business plan, what I'm
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: going to do, what are my thinking strategies for this year?
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: And I give all of that to my students. And
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: so we do the New America, which is really explaining
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: what the world is. You understand me, and how it's
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: going to artificial intelligence and mobilization, automation, digitization, You understand me,
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: and if your skill sets don't include those, then you're
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: not leveraged the right way. And then it was also
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: explaining the sad stress, anxiety, depression, suicide, that as these
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: things continue to mount and increase, that that emotional turmoil
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: starts to uprise as well. So it was a combination
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: of teaching both of those classes. We went over new
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: business structures, concepts, neighborhood networks, We went over the most
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: valuable skills when it comes towards artificial intelligence and it
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: comes to astract entrepreneurship, a multitude of different things. We
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: really laid out a really good framework and then when
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: we was done with that one, we moved towards the
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: Web standard. So we had the market keys because as
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: the recession had just hit, I thought about twenty twelve
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: recession and was thinking that during that time we had
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: to go through it along. Understand me, but it said
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: that this is a recession everybody has to go through,
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: but nobody has to go through it along. Now we
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: have social media. Now we have all these digital entrepreneurs
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: that can help teachers and help cultures through this time.
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: So I said, well, let's put together this market keys,
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: me and Chris Cole so that we can actually teach
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: skill sets that a person can leverage during this time
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: to produce them income. And now we have students that's
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: constantly hitting us. I made five thousand a day, I
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: made ten thousand this week, blah blah blah sa. But
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: it was like, how do you give somebody something applicable,
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: not some motivation without instruction is dangerous, you understand me, Like,
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: I never want to do that. So it's like, let
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: me teach some real skill sets that's going to be valuable.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: So we put together the market keys, and then we
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: start put together the Web standard, and the Web Standard,
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: of course is you know what we just went over,
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: but that system of accountability, how you go towards wealth,
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: how you understand the money markets, understanding the history of money.
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: You understand me understanding portfolio diversification, skill set diversification, marketing business.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: And then we have the part where we have a
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: million dollar Bitcoin initiative where our students receive one hundred
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: dollars in bitcoin when they go to the largest crypto
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: conference that's going to be held out, which is Digital
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: this year because of the COVID nineteen. And then they
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: also receive a Grammar silver, they get one of my
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: books which is called nineteen Seas of Content, which I
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: only give out during my master classes. You understand me,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: and it's my strategy to how to produce and monetize content.
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: It's like a bible for you, you understand me, And
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: a multitude of other different things that we give them,
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: Like we went over how to get your family backed
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: by gold, and that was a really powerful one because
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: the Wealth Standard initially was going to be called the
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: Gold standard. You understand me. Understanding why money's not backed
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: by gold and that you know these particular things never
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: actually really pay off debts, is only a promise to pay.
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: Really break down the history and really get into the
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: money systems and understand the type of system that we in.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: But we really give people financial education that they can utilize.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: And then I really want you to go to the
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: West Standard first, and then I believe you ready for
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: market keys because we got a lot of parents now
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: they want their children to trade. But it's like teach
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: your children money a financial education first, don't give them
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: a skill set that make them money, and then they're
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: still terrible with money management. You understand me. So I
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: would rather you go through the West Standard first. And
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: we have the product development course. So the product development course,
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: because all our products are vertically integrated, we don't white
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: label anything. So that means that we're going to teach
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: our students everything you need to know as far as
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: producing a product, give you one hundred K blueprint towards
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: producing a product, and then also give you an MOQ
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: of fifty products so we actually go produce your products
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: at the same time, the labeling, the branding, the marketing,
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: everything that needs to be done within this course. It's
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: a real from ideation to shell type thing. And we're
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: going to pick five students that's a part of the
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: program to where you know, we the mentor partner with
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: them through the process and they get two hundred of
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: their product actually made through it. So we have that,
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: we have a bunch of things coming. So we have
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: the all minuted reality, we're teaching a course in a
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: minute reality and coding as well because that's part of
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: my Mad Skills program. How many students in right now
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: We are close at about five hundred. We just started
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Yeah, And so like they get their skill sets within
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: the program, and like how do we assessing it? Right,
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: Like based on something I'm doing, you'll say, like this
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: is a skill set that probably matches you.
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: Right, So you're going to get the West Standard. The
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: West Standard is really a financial education piece. Understanding. You're
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: really going to have the skill set of understanding portfolio diversification.
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: And you get in that, you get our market signals, right,
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: so you get a month free of market signals daily,
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: whether it's four X, whether it's futures understanding, whatever it
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: may be. And then so those are different programs inside
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: of it. But if you don't understand money and money
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: management and the money market and things of that nature,
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: you're really not prepared for everything else, I understand me. So,
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: like the product development courses a separate one, but unless
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: you went through the Well Standard, you're a part of
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: that network. You won't get access to that, understand me.
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: Same thing with the augmented reality, same thing with the coding.
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: All of those are only available to our networks.
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: So it's like prerequisites.
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: Yeah, Basically, like I believe in digital education, I believe
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: in taking over Harvard. I believe in taking over that
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: educational sphere, and I believe that that's actually one of
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: the ways that black people can go towards wealth is
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: by supplementing their income by teaching that fact.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: This is the last thing I hear in my mind,
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: like the Black Dreams Matter campaign, is that part of
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: the see or so.
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: Black Dreams Matter. I created that years ago. So I
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: actually created Black Dreams Matter, I understand Me, and it
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: went viral. My bro Keita he was on and so
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: you think you can dance? I believe he had won
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: and he had worried a viral video with one of
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar's songs. And that was the first time I
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: actually had an apparel that went viral. You understand me.
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: And I was making some money off of excuse Me.
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: And so the Black Dreams Matter was more so saying
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: that most of our movements about dead black men and women,
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: none of them encompasses the life while you're living. Because
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: if you worry about somebody dream, you really thinking about
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: the value of that person and wanting to help them
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: actually produce that dream. And so we created Black Dreams
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: Matter as a counterproduct to say that we have to
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: care about each other while we live in not just
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: when we die. You understand me, And so I want
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: to see your dream actually flourish. And so that's been
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: going probably for about five six years. And that was
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: just more so a thought campaign, a concept and to
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: think about the world instead of waiting for the next
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: black man to die for you to care, think about
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: the average living black man that you walk past, who
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: has a life, who has a dream, who has an
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: idea that you don't care about. But if you became
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: a headline and you're streaming for.
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: His life, now that's that's that's extremely powerful. As far
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: as the education, because that's our whole thing. As far
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: as you know, education, A lot of times people think
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: it only comes in way of school, and like me personally,
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: I hate the school, but I always love to learn.
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: So now it's like it's dope because now we have
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: different platforms online where you can actually learn from people
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: that look like you, that that sound like you, that
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: talk like you, and it's it's easier to adapt and
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: to pick up that information. So yeah, the wealth standing.
- 1:09:27Speaker 4: Like I said, I've been checking it out and I
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: appreciate you giving us a discount exclusively for EYL community

- 1:09:53Speaker 4: But any any last words that you you want to
- 1:09:56Speaker 4: leave the people with, how can they how can they
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: contact you? Social media all that stuff?
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: Yeah, everything nineteen keys on nineteen underscore keys, depending on
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: the platform. But you know, if there was any last message,
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: you know, I just think about where we're at today
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: as a people and the opportunities that we have to
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: make massive change. Understand me, and it requires that we do.
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: Of course, we listen, but it's the time of the executors.
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: You understand me, and that each person should help themselves
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: up to a certain standard and everybody should think about
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: how do I do business with my family? You understand me?
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: And one of the things that you should come together
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: and think about is what's our vision, what's our mission,
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: and what's our values? Understand me, because if you can
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: agree on those, then you're ready.
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: Now.
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: I had a viral video that went out and it
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: was talking about the difference between family and friends, and
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: you know, family can be somebody that you related with
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: by blood, understand me, but or relatives rather can be
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: somebody you related with by blood. Family of those who
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: bind it by their relationship, that reciprocal love that you
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: all have for each other. So when you think about
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: your family, it doesn't just speak about the people that's
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: you know, you share DNA with, or share marriage certificate with,
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: and things of that nature. It's really the people you
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: spend the most time with, the people that you can
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: build with. So if you have three to five individuals
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: that you can mastermind with, consider them your family and
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: start building with them. Because a family is a microcosm
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: to producing a nation. And without a family unit, without
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: a mastermind unit, which gives you access to information, knowledge
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: and tools and resources you normally couldn't achieve on your own,
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: we will never get to where we want to be
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: as a people. We can produce the greatest ideas, we
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: can have the greatest concepts, we can talk the greatest
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: shit in the world. But without a family, there is
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: no web standard. Without a family, there is no power.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: And every other community and culture in the world knows
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: this to be a fact, and they knows this to
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: be true. And if you want to think about the
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: greatest thing that white supremacy has ever done, it's kept
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: the black family separated.
- 1:12:00Speaker 4: Have any power there you gentlemen, powerful, young Malcolm powerful,
- 1:12:07Speaker 4: A lot of gyms right there. We appreciate you coming on,
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: Brother Troy.

- 1:12:34Speaker 5: tip in a while, so I'll let shot it go in.
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: Then I guess you can give the book tip.
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm gonna let the brother get a books
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: tip because you got a couple of books. So what's
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: what's the book? We give a book tip? So yeah,
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: what's what's what book? Do do they need to borrow
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: from you?
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: Oh? Nineteen keys solution based mind reprogramming. You understand me.
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: It will teach you how not to procrastinate and it'll
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: give you the skill set to reprogram yourself. During this time,
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are trying to figure out,
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: like where do I start? Somebody listening to this right now, like, Yo,
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: where do I start? These brothers seem intelligent. I've been
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: listening to this stuff, but unfortunately, some people listen to
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: conscious content as junk food. You understand me. They get
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: addicted to it, but they don't really utilize it to
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: where it actually manifests a change. And the information in
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: my book is so that you can do an instant
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: reprogramming by following the steps and the information that's actually
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: in the books so you can execute.
