  Speaker 15: when we got called. And sometimes when you get to
• 13:06
  Speaker 15: a certain level, you're like, oh, I still got a
• 13:07
  Speaker 15: KYMP test.
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 13:09
  Speaker 15: I was like, So we did the KYM test and
• 13:11
  Speaker 15: it was it was actually like a family reunion. It
• 13:13
  Speaker 15: was about twenty about what, fifteen women, fifteen men. Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 15: and we were kim testing with our friends. So it
• 13:20
  Speaker 15: was like a big dat trouble.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It took all day long.
• 13:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it was like you you spend five minutes with
• 13:26
  Speaker 16: this person and the okay, y'all done and this person
• 13:29
  Speaker 16: and when Nina and I went, it was like this
• 13:31
  Speaker 16: sounds cliche, but I was like, I forgot we were
• 13:33
  Speaker 16: even auditioning.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: We were just chopping it up and they stopped us.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: We're like, okay, cool.
• 13:37
  Speaker 15: I was like this, we got this. Like there's sometimes
• 13:40
  Speaker 15: I feel like you get that little voice because you
• 13:41
  Speaker 15: know when you're when you're in this industry, you just
• 13:44
  Speaker 15: know when something that is magic. And we were sitting
• 13:46
  Speaker 15: next to each other and it was so easy with him.
• 13:49
  Speaker 15: And I've had a lot of co hosts over the years,
• 13:52
  Speaker 15: and keV is by far like the easiest person I've.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Ever worked with. Oh that's an ultimate compliment. By the way,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 13:59
  Speaker 15: It's not to him. It's his life.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: Wullis right.
• 14:02
  Speaker 15: Because his wife is he knows how to there is
• 14:05
  Speaker 15: a there's a dance, as you guys know. And then
• 14:07
  Speaker 15: when you have like a co host who knows how
• 14:10
  Speaker 15: to communicate in a healthy way with a woman, it's
• 14:14
  Speaker 15: just like even like he'll be like do you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Need to sit?
• 14:16
  Speaker 15: I'm like what because I used to people being like
• 14:18
  Speaker 15: get off the way, and it's just he's very kind.
• 14:22
  Speaker 15: So it just makes it so easy to work with.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Nita, go ahead, I tell you that all the time.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: When somebody says you're easy to work with, that's beautiful.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And when somebody says you're a pleasure to work with,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you gonna always work.
• 14:32
  Speaker 16: Yeah, because it's so long, the work is hard, so
• 14:35
  Speaker 16: talent is evenly distributed, you know in La New York,
• 14:38
  Speaker 16: but good people to work with, it's not so much.
• 14:42
  Speaker 16: And then it's already stressful. You got early call times
• 14:44
  Speaker 16: and all that stuff. If you're also a jerk on
• 14:46
  Speaker 16: top of that, it's like, bro, I don't even.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Want to do it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 15: It's life be lifing, as you know, so it's like
• 14:49
  Speaker 15: it's hard to get on it and have to like
• 14:51
  Speaker 15: turn all of that off, you know, in filming. So
• 14:53
  Speaker 15: when you have somebody that's like keV is really like
• 14:56
  Speaker 15: my real life brother, you know, I really love him.
• 14:59
  Speaker 15: I love his wife, like we have dinners. Like it's
• 15:01
  Speaker 15: so it's just it doesn't it truly doesn't feel like work.
• 15:04
  Speaker 15: So we just be cutting up. And you know, this
• 15:06
  Speaker 15: show really allowed me to be funny and like really
• 15:08
  Speaker 15: tap into cause I feel like I've done so much
• 15:10
  Speaker 15: formal journalism. This was like a different This was more vulnerable,
• 15:14
  Speaker 15: and keV is more my coach sometimes where he's like,
• 15:17
  Speaker 15: just say it, like, you know, cause I'm so trained
• 15:19
  Speaker 15: that sometimes it's a little bit more stiff. So he's like,
• 15:22
  Speaker 15: just say it. They ain't gonna care.
• 15:23
  Speaker 16: Yeah, and we need to help me too, because I
• 15:25
  Speaker 16: had never done official TV, never worked off a prompter before.
• 15:29
  Speaker 16: So the first day I was like, dang man, this
• 15:30
  Speaker 16: like there's a lot of pressure and you can't really
• 15:32
  Speaker 16: mess up. It's time for you to do your job right.
• 15:34
  Speaker 16: And he was like, oh, it's good, there's how you
• 15:36
  Speaker 16: do it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Let's run through it once.
• 15:37
  Speaker 16: And Nina, man, let me tell you what she big
• 15:39
  Speaker 16: sis for real, because when I only want to do stuff,
• 15:42
  Speaker 16: she'd be like, ah, we ain't doing that, y'all.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: We are doing this.
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: Like you can tell she's been in the game for
• 15:47
  Speaker 16: a long time, never rude or anything like that, but
• 15:49
  Speaker 16: she she knows how to assert herself and people respect
• 15:52
  Speaker 16: her for that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm more of like, I never done this, so
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: whatever y'all say is cool.
• 15:57
  Speaker 15: But also when you've done it a long time, you
• 15:58
  Speaker 15: know when people are padding time like you like, we
• 16:00
  Speaker 15: don't need we got this. We can just roll through this,
• 16:02
  Speaker 15: like y'all ain't got a babys Like we're gonna come in,
• 16:04
  Speaker 15: were gonna knock this out and we're gonna go home.
• 16:06
  Speaker 15: Everybody gonna get home on time. Y'all got pill over time.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And hard for you, keV being on a production that
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you don't control, no low key. Actually it's free because
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you like to do.
• 16:18
  Speaker 16: Oh my god, there's a certain amount of stress when
• 16:21
  Speaker 16: you control it, Like the talent is just one aspect.
• 16:24
  Speaker 16: Then you gotta worry about the budget and the controlling,
• 16:26
  Speaker 16: the editing, the delivery. Friday night vibes, brother. When it's
• 16:29
  Speaker 16: over all right, y'all, and it's it is, it is
• 16:33
  Speaker 16: a welcome reprieve from having a duel. I don't want
• 16:35
  Speaker 16: to have to worry about post edit deliveries, time code,
• 16:38
  Speaker 16: you know, s and p leave it at the door coffee.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, what time is lunch? Okay?
• 16:44
  Speaker 16: Perfect, see you all tomorrow. I just come on time
• 16:47
  Speaker 16: do my job. Chopping up with Mena.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I knew we was cool. You need to let me
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: she was getting braided down, y'all real.
• 16:53
  Speaker 15: Friends, man, you let me see the bread.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: The breakdown is into Yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 16: No, That's why I think that camaraderie and chemistry from
• 17:07
  Speaker 16: the audition through the show, it just carries on throughout.
• 17:10
  Speaker 16: And then that's why the show feels so natural. Our
• 17:12
  Speaker 16: guests come on, they feel really natural with us, you
• 17:14
  Speaker 16: know what I'm saying.
• 17:14
  Speaker 15: So, and it doubled the ratings. So we did the
• 17:16
  Speaker 15: first season, we only had like twelve episodes, so it
• 17:19
  Speaker 15: was just the first Friday of every month, which right now,
• 17:21
  Speaker 15: you know, TV is very difficult. They actually doubled our
• 17:24
  Speaker 15: episode order because they were saying that our interviews with
• 17:27
  Speaker 15: each other and with our guests were spiking over the movies. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 15: so I mean listen to get a double order. During
• 17:34
  Speaker 15: this time, we feel very blessed.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: We're still kicking it with Nina Parker and keV on
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: stage the new show Friday Night Vibes is on TBS.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Was it toxic working there?
• 17:44
  Speaker 14: ANGI what I mean?
• 17:46
  Speaker 15: Listen, this is I've heard. It's not like that anymore.
• 17:48
  Speaker 15: I don't know, And this is this is one of
• 17:51
  Speaker 15: the reasons you and I haven't talked because I checked
• 17:54
  Speaker 15: out of all things TMZ, I never watched the show again.
• 17:56
  Speaker 15: When I stopped like, I didn't, I stopped community. I didn't,
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: so I'm not communicre with people I knew, but anything
• 18:02
  Speaker 15: like I just kind of shut that part of my
• 18:03
  Speaker 15: brain off because I had a lot of PTSD and
• 18:07
  Speaker 15: it was you have to think about it. This was
• 18:09
  Speaker 15: like the birth of New age media. There were no rules,
• 18:13
  Speaker 15: so we would work like fourteen hours a day. You
• 18:16
  Speaker 15: would get in trouble for taking a lunch. You couldn't
• 18:19
  Speaker 15: leave like your desk. You had to answer your phone
• 18:22
  Speaker 15: if four in the morning. It was You would work
• 18:24
  Speaker 15: weekends and you couldn't say no. We would rock. People
• 18:27
  Speaker 15: would walk around with their laptop. We would go to
• 18:29
  Speaker 15: a concert. You have to have your laptop in your
• 18:31
  Speaker 15: back because if you got a call it for you
• 18:33
  Speaker 15: didn't answer, you would get fired.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It was over for you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 15: So and I made the decision to participate in that
• 18:39
  Speaker 15: because I didn't have anybody, I didn't have anything else,
• 18:41
  Speaker 15: I didn't have a team. We were kind of deterred
• 18:44
  Speaker 15: from getting a team, like you know. So the things
• 18:47
  Speaker 15: I know now this is this is there was no
• 18:51
  Speaker 15: hr R.
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: Was very new, and there was the union. Things that
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: come in when you have in your protection. They got
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: ridden that didn't exist back then.
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: Like they had Telepictures that was the parent company that
• 19:04
  Speaker 15: technically you could go, but you didn't know anybody there
• 19:07
  Speaker 15: because they weren't. You only knew who was in the building.
• 19:10
  Speaker 15: So it was it was really the wild West. And
• 19:13
  Speaker 15: I probably I mean when Michael Jackson died, I didn't
• 19:16
  Speaker 15: leave the office for three days, like we slept there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: And that was your salary of fifty thousand dollars or
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: less whatever.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 19:21
  Speaker 15: I think I was still making like the PA salary then,
• 19:24
  Speaker 15: which was I think I had got boosted to like
• 19:26
  Speaker 15: six fifty a week.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Crazy thing is when Lauren started working here. You ever
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: see that dog that they and I'm not comparing you
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: to a dog, but that dog that when you get
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: out the shelter right and.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: You put your hand up to pettit and skin.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: That's how Lauren was. Lauren was like, wait a minute,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you guys just said good job like it was. I'm
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: like what I thought she was joking? Then I realized no,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: she was traumatized.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: How long were you there?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: How was that TMC?
• 19:51
  Speaker 14: For eight years?
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: And when you come in you hear woll from the
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: black people there. You hear so much about you. Van
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: was always really big about, you know, talking to me
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: about you. He was there when I was. When I
• 20:01
  Speaker 12: was there, so was Raquel. And then they left, and
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: when they left it was me and I was like, what.
• 20:06
  Speaker 15: At least you had the camaraderie.
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: But then they left right and then George Floyd and
• 20:10
  Speaker 12: I'm odd aurey happened and it was like, oh.
• 20:12
  Speaker 15: And you're fighting by yourself because there's a lot of microaggressions.
• 20:15
  Speaker 15: There's macro too. And one of the things that was
• 20:19
  Speaker 15: hard for me was like, at the time, and this
• 20:21
  Speaker 15: was before Van even got there, I was the only
• 20:22
  Speaker 15: black person on camera. And so you are soul.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, the stories you tell me yourself.
• 20:29
  Speaker 15: And you feel an obligation, but sometimes you're tired, right
• 20:32
  Speaker 15: and half the time, but the thing is with black talent, especially,
• 20:38
  Speaker 15: you don't have the luxury of being silent when it's
• 20:40
  Speaker 15: a black issue, because they're gonna look at you in
• 20:43
  Speaker 15: this room full of white people and wonder why you
• 20:44
  Speaker 15: just say anything they're not gonna think about. Like I've
• 20:47
  Speaker 15: been doing this every single day. I got a migraine.
• 20:49
  Speaker 15: I'm tired, Like I'm tired of arguing. I know, their
• 20:51
  Speaker 15: race baiting me. There, they bait you on purpose. But
• 20:54
  Speaker 15: at the same time, I'm like, I got to think
• 20:55
  Speaker 15: about the people who are watching that look like me,
• 20:57
  Speaker 15: that are like, you know, why didn't you speak up?
• 20:59
  Speaker 15: But you know, you know, as you age, fighting every
• 21:02
  Speaker 15: day gets exhausting. And also when you're getting baited because
• 21:06
  Speaker 15: it's like I don't mind having a healthy discussion, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 15: you're purposely trying to bait me to have this conversation
• 21:10
  Speaker 15: so you can have content, and I'm not really with that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 15: And so you get tired of being used. You get
• 21:14
  Speaker 15: tired of like women being talked about. You know, you
• 21:17
  Speaker 15: feel like I'm in this space. When I was there,
• 21:20
  Speaker 15: it was very toxic, like we would get they had
• 21:23
  Speaker 15: a relationship with Vivid because you know, Kim Kardashians sex
• 21:26
  Speaker 15: tape and they vivid would send like sex tapes in
• 21:29
  Speaker 15: and sometimes people would just watch them in the office,
• 21:31
  Speaker 15: you know, and it was like you were like what
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: am I What's going on? But then also you're like, well,
• 21:36
  Speaker 15: what are my other options? And that's when you start
• 21:37
  Speaker 15: to build these relationships, and you're like, I got to
• 21:39
  Speaker 15: make an exit plan.
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: I had a I just want to say this real quick.
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: Then we can move away from TMZ because you have
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: moved away.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I met Trenches said nothing about this.
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: I met you a long time ago in LA and
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: our interaction you weren't rude, but it just wasn't the best.
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: And one I was about to leave, Ban was like,
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: you should call Meena, and I was like, I don't
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: think she cares for me that much, and he was
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: and I was like, well, and I told him, but
• 22:03
  Speaker 12: now here in your I don't know if you even
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: knew who I was, But if so, I'm thinking, like
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: maybe that I had nothing to do with that. But
• 22:10
  Speaker 12: I never thought about this, because when you're in that environment,
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: you think it's regular, you think it's okay. I never
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: thought about like what your post life felt like mentally
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: having to go through and deal with all of that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I think that so I got to do you telling
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the world that Nina no I said, why would you do?
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: The reason why I want to say that is because
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: now I'm sitting here and I felt your emotion just
• 22:33
  Speaker 12: now when you were talking about your experience, and I
• 22:35
  Speaker 12: identify with it so much, and it made me think
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: about if I were to run into someone right in
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: that same predicament unknowingly, I might not like, you know,
• 22:44
  Speaker 12: do you know what I'm trying to.
• 22:45
  Speaker 15: When you're reacting to the place, not the person, yes,
• 22:48
  Speaker 15: And so you you know, it's like if someone brings
• 22:50
  Speaker 15: up a relationship that hurts you, you're kind of like,
• 22:54
  Speaker 15: especially if you're not in a space to like say,
• 22:56
  Speaker 15: you're not thinking about it, and it jars you for
• 22:57
  Speaker 15: a second where you're just like And also, I'm very
• 23:02
  Speaker 15: media trained, right, so sometimes I don't want to speak
• 23:05
  Speaker 15: bad on a place, and I don't know if my
• 23:07
  Speaker 15: experience will be your experience. So there's a lot I
• 23:10
  Speaker 15: can't say to you without saying it right where I can.
• 23:13
  Speaker 15: It's like, how do I tell this person there in
• 23:16
  Speaker 15: the trenches and like get out quickly, yes, because that
• 23:19
  Speaker 15: may not be your journey. So how do I say
• 23:21
  Speaker 15: that to you, because it's so nuanced. So it's just
• 23:24
  Speaker 15: such a layered thing. So sometimes if like people come
• 23:27
  Speaker 15: up to me like I'm at TMZ, I'm kind of
• 23:28
  Speaker 15: like and I'm like, yeah, I don't know what to
• 23:31
  Speaker 15: tell you, because this is it's only something you understand
• 23:34
  Speaker 15: if you've been there. It's like being in a sorority.
• 23:36
  Speaker 15: But at the same time, and I think I've just
• 23:38
  Speaker 15: healed from being there probably within the last like four years,
• 23:42
  Speaker 15: four or five years. You I have this thing now
• 23:44
  Speaker 15: where I'm my friends say I'm the fastest responder because
• 23:48
  Speaker 15: you had to be this thing, right. I always even
• 23:50
  Speaker 15: now I'm not really in news anymore, like I'm a
• 23:53
  Speaker 15: host for shows, and even now, I feel like I
• 23:55
  Speaker 15: got to look at these headlines. I'm like, what am
• 23:57
  Speaker 15: I doing? I am posting about no news.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I'm the first supposed to tweet about it. So you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: have these things.
• 24:03
  Speaker 15: So I don't remember the the interaction, but I'll say
• 24:08
  Speaker 15: that it was so traumatizing that sometimes it was hard
• 24:13
  Speaker 15: to react positively about it. And also, you know, as
• 24:17
  Speaker 15: you grow, you learn how to temper that a little
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: bit better.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Friday Night Vibes on TV, Yeah, we appreciate you guys
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: coming up and don't be strange.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: You could come on more. Ke I feel like me
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: a girl. I was watching too. I was like, oh
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: my god, this is really happening. They gonna put this on.
• 24:39

  Speaker 12: Yes, ten years as of September of this year.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: But let's start there. How did you meet Cardy and
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: how did you get on part of her team?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: I love this story.
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: So when I had my son, I decided not to
• 32:30
  Speaker 12: go back and work for Hurts.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: I was running cars Hurts.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Okay, after I graduated college, I ended up having to
• 32:36
  Speaker 12: rint cars. There were no jobs, so I decided to
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: open up a salon in Wilmington called Victated the Salon
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: with my tax refund money.
• 32:45
  Speaker 17: La.
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: I've been so for since day one.
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: We were in there doing aller for I was in
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: the photo shocause.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I continue on, you know what.
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: So basically I was, you know, just operating in the salon.
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: But I opened the salon because I always wanted to
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: be a publicist. So I'm like, I'm gonna use my
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: stylist as like my case studies my clients while I
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: self teach myself, right, So I would look for opportunities
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: for them outside of the booth. Was like my selling point.
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: So fast forward maybe four years. My partner actually who's here.
• 33:19
  Speaker 12: He was bringing a lot of talent and celebrities to Wilmington,
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: and we're a very, very small market, so there's not
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: a ton of talent that comes in and out of Wilmington,
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: especially because we're so close to Philly. So he would
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: throw live events. There were a ton of different events
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: and talent and celebrities that you know, he would bring out.
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: So my stylists were telling me, Hey, this girl named
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: Carti is coming to Delaware, she's coming to dance. We
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: want to do her hair and makeup. I didn't follow
• 33:45
  Speaker 12: her at the time, but I, you know, I followed
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: their lead, and I reached out to Bunn and asked him,
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: you know, would you mind putting in a word with
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: Cardi and her management. You know, we'll do her hair
• 33:55
  Speaker 12: and her makeup at no costs. So he followed through
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: and he made the connection, the very first connection between
• 34:03
  Speaker 12: myself and Cardi. And she pulled up with her manager
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: at the time and a pt cruiser. She had this
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: orange wig on, Yes, pa cruiser. This was so early on.
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: This was like literally like before love and hip hop ear.
• 34:25
  Speaker 12: So yeah, she pulled up, she got her hair and
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: makeup done, and she was just like, you want to
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: come to the club with me? And I'm like, oh,
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: you know, I gotta sit her.
• 34:33
  Speaker 15: Why not?
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: So we go to the club and she gets dressed.
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: She asked me to help me pick her money up
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: while she's dancing. We order some wings, We go our
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: separate ways at the end of the night. And about
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: maybe a month or two later, I had started filling
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: out internship applications because I was just like, I'm twenty six.
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: I think I was how old. I was like, oh
• 34:52
  Speaker 12: my gosh, I was twenty six, and I'm like, you know,
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: my son is two three. At the time, I really
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: still want to be a publicist. I need to make
• 34:59
  Speaker 12: a move. So I just started filling out all of
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: these internship applications for fashion week, which is kind of
• 35:04
  Speaker 12: what segued us into that space, and I took an internship.
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: I slept on my friend's couch in Newark, New Jersey,
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: and maybe my third day on the job, I ran
• 35:15
  Speaker 12: into Cardi backstage. She was walking in the Gypsy Sports
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: show because they wanted all like internet or you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: social media personalities, and she was like, oh, like, what
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: are you doing here? Are you doing hair and I
• 35:26
  Speaker 12: was like, no, I'm a publicist. She was like, oh,
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: I need one of those. And I was like okay,
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: And her and chef invited me to dinner that night
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: and I walked in and they introduced me as her
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: new publicist. And that's how.
• 35:40
  Speaker 18: This was.
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: Before we were selling makeup, watch, popping cosmetics, everything the cosmetics.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, your hair salon.
• 35:52
  Speaker 18: No.
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: So as we continued to like grow and the business grew,
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: I you know, leveraged my what I was building with
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: her into an agency, which is how cream Labs came about.
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: And you know, I decided that, you know, maybe like
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: six years after having the salon open, I just didn't
• 36:10
  Speaker 12: have the capacity, where the bandwidth to do it. And
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: the industry and the salon, like the salon industry has
• 36:14
  Speaker 12: shifted so much. People wanted their own suites, their own brands.
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: So I just focused on building out and expanding the agency.
• 36:21
  Speaker 12: But that's what you know, all of it led up
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: into building with party story.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Did you do her half for her recent court case?
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: I was here for the Whigs, like definitely, But talk
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: about that, I mean, Charlatne mentioned that it's funny, but
• 36:39
  Speaker 12: I think even when we saw her switching wigs recently,
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: people instantly started remembering the first time we saw her
• 36:45
  Speaker 12: in court and everything was a moment when she was
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: showing up the court, right, And you guys have been
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: really good about making moments from the beginning.
• 36:52
  Speaker 14: Was Cardi always the artist that wanted to do that?
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: Did you have to talk her into it?
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: How to What was her first moment where she's like,
• 36:58
  Speaker 12: I needed this, how I need to live the rest
• 36:59
  Speaker 12: of my Oh, her first moment, I would say it
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: was the week that we met. Is the week that
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: we decided to work with each other, which was fashion week.
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: And I say that because the way that she showed
• 37:14
  Speaker 12: up so once we decided, like, all right, we're gonna
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: work together, there was a few shows left and the
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: last show that normally happens during fashion week was The Blonde.
• 37:23
  Speaker 12: So you know, as an intern, my job was to
• 37:25
  Speaker 12: get people from their black trucks to the front, you know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 12: to their front row seat. So I'm like, you know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: nobody really knows you outside of the personality that you
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: built on social media. Let's just start increasing your visibility
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: right away. And again I'm like self teaching myself at
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: this point, I'm just doing what feels right. So I
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: told her to come to the show, and I was
• 37:44
  Speaker 12: just gonna seat her, and I'm like, just come and
• 37:47
  Speaker 12: just look like you belong. Like she shows up in
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: a turban, these like wooden nipple pasties and like a
• 37:54
  Speaker 12: flared bell bottom pant, and everybody was just like if
• 37:58
  Speaker 12: they didn't know who she was, they wanted to know
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: who she was. And I just set her. I just
• 38:01
  Speaker 12: found a spot on the front row and just set her.
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: And that told me that she was number one. She
• 38:07
  Speaker 12: was willing to be collaborative and trusting. It wasn't like
• 38:10
  Speaker 12: why I gotta do this, or I'm not really invited.
• 38:12
  Speaker 12: I don't want to show up. I'm not gonna always
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: get an invite in the very beginning. Sometimes you got
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: to show people why you should be invited, right, and
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: that does come with a risk, obviously, but she was
• 38:22
  Speaker 12: willing to. Like Dugget, She's like, Okay, where I gotta be,
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: I'm gonna show up, what I gotta wear, Okay, I'm there,
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: and she just went with it. So at that moment,
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: I knew like she loved and wanted to leave an
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: impression wherever she went and really make a moment, and
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: I think we just always carried that same energy throughout
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: everything we did.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I love that because that really defines car to B
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: as a person. A lot of times people don't hear
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: that side of it. Charlamage and myself, we've seen her
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: early on, so we've seen the grind. We've seen her
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: eating the McDonald's in the morning. You've seen her going
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: to the teen parties, and we've seen that grind and
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: the clubs and the strip clubs and the regular clubs
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: and this. So I love that story because it shows that,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: you know, sometimes people like, oh, no, she's that No,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: she deserves to be here. She worked absolutely.
• 39:05
  Speaker 12: Against all odds, and it's great that I was so
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: fortunate to number one be you know, just given the
• 39:14
  Speaker 12: space to like, we're gonna figure this out together. You've
• 39:18
  Speaker 12: never been necessarily a publicist of X amount of years,
• 39:20
  Speaker 12: I've never been a superstar, like you're just gonna figure
• 39:22
  Speaker 12: this out and trusting one another's intuition, in one another's vision.
• 39:26
  Speaker 12: And she literally like being there to see all the nose.
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: I love that I'm still in a seat to be
• 39:32
  Speaker 12: able to see all of those people just eat their
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: words like so many people were just like, it'll never
• 39:37
  Speaker 12: happen for her.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: We're still kicking it with patients.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Foster.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: Yes, I love more, particularly about your story, how you
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: went through, how you use the hair industry to step into.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: PR. Yeah, that is so dope. Yeah it was.
• 39:53
  Speaker 12: I mean living in a place like Wilmington and Lauren
• 39:57
  Speaker 12: knows like we're Delaware. Down wherever we got it's like, yes,
• 40:00
  Speaker 12: we're from Delaware, but the community and the network is
• 40:04
  Speaker 12: so small. It's so limited, and to be in a
• 40:06
  Speaker 12: space like public relations, you have to put yourself in
• 40:11
  Speaker 12: spaces where you can rub elbows and kiss babies and
• 40:13
  Speaker 12: build a network. So I still felt like before I
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: put myself out there, I wanted to have enough confidence
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: and experience just from an entry level point of view.
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: So looking at my stylists more like clients was really
• 40:26
  Speaker 12: what helped me to feel like, Okay, I got enough
• 40:30
  Speaker 12: confidence to walk into a space and feel like I
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: know how to represent people, even if it's on a
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: small level. I feel like I had the fundamentals to
• 40:40
  Speaker 12: represent someone and help leverage whatever talent they have into
• 40:43
  Speaker 12: a brand. I didn't know that that's what I was
• 40:45
  Speaker 12: doing so early on, but now that I'm much more
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: aware of my capabilities and what I'm able to do.
• 40:50
  Speaker 12: I know that I'm able to take talent and leverage
• 40:53
  Speaker 12: that into a brand, a brand that is sustainable outside
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: of just one category.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Imagine question there's between managing talent and managing the perception.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Of the talent.
• 41:02
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think that that's a piece of it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 12: Managing the perception of the talent, because the perception is
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: essential to the value of the brand at the end
• 41:12
  Speaker 12: of the day. But managing the talent, I mean, I
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: think there's a lot of different aspects of managing the talent.
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: You have day to day, you need someone who's consistently
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: paying attention to the logistics, yeah, the tallendar, all of
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: the things that keep everything moving. And then you have
• 41:26
  Speaker 12: people that have their expertise. You have your music managers,
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: you have your brand managers, and I think managing the
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: talent overall is just making sure that there's consistently a strategy.
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: There's consistently a plan, Like I don't know if people
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: think that it's just we're just winging it, Like there's
• 41:41
  Speaker 12: always a plan and there's always a goal. There's always
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: like we know exactly what it is that we want
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: to do and what we want to accomplish. But I
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: think really managing the talent is understanding the product itself,
• 41:55
  Speaker 12: which is what the talent is, whether it's music, whether
• 41:57
  Speaker 12: it's making clothes, whatever it is, and then understanding how
• 42:02
  Speaker 12: you create a relationship that's engaging with that audience in
• 42:06
  Speaker 12: a way that grows the brand, that builds value in
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: the brand, because at the end of the day, you
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: want to be able to leverage that brand into something
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: that is legacy for you.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: How do you decide when somebody's a front or when
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: somebody is a client? Right, because you're going to have
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: clients to pay you for certain things. But I'm assuming
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Carudi B Is not just a client. She's your friend,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: meaning you can see that.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But like so, if you're working.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: With somebody and now Cardi B Is beefing with that person,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: you can't work with that person anymore.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: But with a client is just like it's just a check.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: So how do you decide that?
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: And if Cardi's like, you know, let's say it's not
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: rocking with somebody, you say, all, well, I can't work
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: with that person anymore. How does that work?
• 42:41
  Speaker 12: I mean that's a very real thing. Like and I
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: think also it's just what is your philosophy as what
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: is your philosophy as an entrepreneur or a boss or
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: whatever it is that you do right. And I feel
• 42:51
  Speaker 12: like whatever your philosophy is and your principles are is
• 42:54
  Speaker 12: how you show up when it comes to making those
• 42:57
  Speaker 12: type of decisions. And my philosophy is a lot different
• 42:59
  Speaker 12: for other people, Like there is no real defining line
• 43:03
  Speaker 12: between personal and business, Like my business is very personal,
• 43:07
  Speaker 12: Like my business feeds my kid, My business builds my
• 43:10
  Speaker 12: livelihood and keeps my livelihood and maintains a lifestyle that
• 43:14
  Speaker 12: I like to live. Like, so my business is very
• 43:17
  Speaker 12: personal because you know, you compromise my business. Now you're
• 43:20
  Speaker 12: compromising the way I eat. So when it comes to
• 43:24
  Speaker 12: cardying any other client, and anyone can tell you, like
• 43:27
  Speaker 12: wherever there are boundaries or there's an opposition, or someone
• 43:32
  Speaker 12: that you know has done something in a way that
• 43:36
  Speaker 12: not only makes them feel away, but has messed with
• 43:38
  Speaker 12: their business and their livelihood, I could never do business
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: with you. Yeah, And that's just what it is. Like,
• 43:43
  Speaker 12: I think some people try to convince themselves that it's
• 43:46
  Speaker 12: okay because it's just business. But there is no way
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: that you don't have any emotional attachment or personal relationship
• 43:53
  Speaker 12: with somebody that you go into a conference room or
• 43:55
  Speaker 12: on a conference call every day and fight for them
• 43:57
  Speaker 12: to eat. We got to have a personal relationship that
• 44:00
  Speaker 12: doesn't turn off when I decide I want to take
• 44:02
  Speaker 12: another check from somebody that doesn't align with you. We
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: got to be on the same side for this to work.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do you guys generally only manage artists or is
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: it actresses?
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: It's actresses.
• 44:16
  Speaker 12: We're not specific to artists or the company that we've
• 44:20
  Speaker 12: recently announced and built Fifth and Freedom. It's not just
• 44:23
  Speaker 12: specific to artists. It's just specific to talent, but talent
• 44:27
  Speaker 12: that is talent that I can see true value in.
• 44:32
  Speaker 12: Because one of the main things about Fifth and Freedom
• 44:35
  Speaker 12: is that it's a new way of management and it's
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: a new way of looking at talent where some people
• 44:40
  Speaker 12: are just more reactive. They're waiting on an email, they're
• 44:42
  Speaker 12: waiting for a deal, they're waiting to respond like. It's
• 44:45
  Speaker 12: about being proactive, but also making sure that we're not
• 44:48
  Speaker 12: limiting the talent to this one category that we're building
• 44:51
  Speaker 12: a brand that can sustain over years without necessarily having
• 44:55
  Speaker 12: to be active in one category. So it's about like
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: building legacy, equitable opportunity, like joint ventures, things that you know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 12: at the end of the day they'll have something to
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: pass down or they'll have something to fall back on,
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: because everybody doesn't whether you're an artist, whether you're an influencer.
• 45:12
  Speaker 12: You may not want to make content every single day.
• 45:14
  Speaker 12: Once you reach a certain point, it gets tiring. You
• 45:17
  Speaker 12: may not be inspired, you may not be ready to
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: drop a project every other month to meet a certain
• 45:22
  Speaker 12: goal or drop a single right, but how are you
• 45:24
  Speaker 12: sustaining in between time? I think that comes from like
• 45:27
  Speaker 12: building real brand value, so that way you can, you know,
• 45:30
  Speaker 12: build a true legacy.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: How do you deal with somebody like Lauren? First of all,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: I'm no serious, right, because you know Lauren from Delaware,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: but she thinks.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: To ask the question from Delaware? No, I want to
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: know how do you deal with her?
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: So, meaning you know she's a she's gonna poke the bell,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: she's gonna find out the story.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: But that's your client, right and she don't.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Call you and say I just heard this, but you
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: don't want the story out or maybe the story is wrong.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: In most cases, you can just say in the middle
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: Finger the movie.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: But now and I've heard her call you mad times time.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: So how do you deal with somebody that's a friend
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: but you have a client and then he can't hold
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: water for.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Nothing right, you.
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: Know, ask anything that's wrong?
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: But like I said, so, how do you deal with like,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: you know, because you have relationships with TMC, you have
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: relationships with these blocks, how do you deal with that?
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think like I'm just real big on
• 46:29
  Speaker 12: like whoever I'm dealing with on a level like that,
• 46:32
  Speaker 12: you're calling me directly and we're having conversations about things
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: that are pertaining to clients. Like we already have a
• 46:38
  Speaker 12: level of trust there and a level of respect because
• 46:40
  Speaker 12: most people will send out And I was a publicist
• 46:44
  Speaker 12: years ago. I am no longer the publicist for everyone
• 46:48
  Speaker 12: that is still mentioningreem Labs.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: What's your title?
• 46:54
  Speaker 12: I'm also the co founder in Fifth and Freedom with
• 46:57
  Speaker 12: my partner Button, But I'm also I'm the Brent for Carti.
• 47:00
  Speaker 12: I'm her brand manager and her creative director. Yes, so
• 47:04
  Speaker 12: at the end of the day, I work across her
• 47:08
  Speaker 12: entire business. At the end of the day because again,
• 47:11
  Speaker 12: like the longest standing member of her, you know, of
• 47:14
  Speaker 12: her group, of her, of her team. So I'm involved
• 47:18
  Speaker 12: in every single conversation at the end of the day
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: because we built that currency of trust there. But no,
• 47:25
  Speaker 12: I was a publicist and that was, you know, what
• 47:29
  Speaker 12: got me into the spaces that I needed to be in.
• 47:32
  Speaker 12: But as I understood what I'm truly capable of, just
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: outside of helping to control narratives and stories.
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: So you've got old pictures of Lauren to make sure
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: she'sn'm putting that now.
• 47:40
  Speaker 18: And you.
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: Used to share in l A and go out to
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: like the awards.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: We weren't.
• 47:48
  Speaker 12: We didn't have a name at the time, so we
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: weren't on the list. So we were just finessing. We've
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: been We've been for well over well over game. We
• 48:00
  Speaker 12: grew up together. So but how I deal to your
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: to answer your question, I think it's just already a
• 48:06
  Speaker 12: level of respect there. So she's not gonna she's gonna
• 48:09
  Speaker 12: tell me what it is. This is the information I have.
• 48:14
  Speaker 12: What do you want to do with that information? Right?
• 48:16
  Speaker 12: And it's two things for me. Are you on the
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: record or are.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: We off the record? Number one, you always the records.
• 48:26
  Speaker 12: Like journalists guys do. A lot of times when I
• 48:29
  Speaker 12: call her too and be like completely before she even
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: starts completely.
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: You know what I mean.
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah, So it's like I'm going to approach I don't.
• 48:38
  Speaker 12: I think I do a very good job, Like I
• 48:39
  Speaker 12: don't blur the lines between what I do as a
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: professional and who I am as a person, because they're
• 48:44
  Speaker 12: pretty much aligned. Like who I am as a professional
• 48:47
  Speaker 12: is how I show up as a person. So how
• 48:50
  Speaker 12: I deal with her is just in any friendship. Let's
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: be transparent, Let's be honest with each other. This is
• 48:57
  Speaker 12: what I have to say. This is what I'm not
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: gonna say hypothetic. I'm going to say this, and you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: we just worked through it together. And I don't ever
• 49:05
  Speaker 12: think for a moment I'm never going to have a
• 49:07
  Speaker 12: conversation with somebody that got a second guess, is this information?
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: You want to leave this phone call? So it's like,
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: I think, because of our friendship and the trust and
• 49:15
  Speaker 12: the history that we have there, we can do good business.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: It's still kicking it with patients.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Foster Charlemagne, how do you decide what's best for your client,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: what's best for your girl? And what I mean by
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: that is like, you know, you see, like somebody like
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Lauren in the position she's in, she's growing, like you know,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: she's building her name. You might have some information that
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: you could be I could get the People magazine, but
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: if I give it to them law and it's really
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: going to help Brown girl grinding?
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: So what are you doing those situations?
• 49:38
  Speaker 12: I think it depends on a situation. For wherever there's controversy, drama,
• 49:43
  Speaker 12: no punt intended, right, that's not ever, That's never been
• 49:46
  Speaker 12: a part of my process or my systems, Like I'm
• 49:49
  Speaker 12: never feeding. I know there's people that think like, oh,
• 49:52
  Speaker 12: this is a pr stunt, like never feeding or setting
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: up a stunt, right, But in terms of like exclusives,
• 49:58
  Speaker 12: like oh we have this like great information or something
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: we want to share about the album, Like of course,
• 50:03
  Speaker 12: like I will want, you know, my friend to have
• 50:06
  Speaker 12: the exclusive, But when it comes to the client, it's
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: just like you if you love me and you say
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: you're my friend, then you respect the fact that I
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: have to do what's best for my client, and that's
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: just you know, And if that level of understanding is
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: just not there, then we're truly we're not friends and
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: we can't have business.
• 50:23
  Speaker 14: And I will say, there's been plenty of time.
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: And also too, I think it's like a trade thing
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: because like for me, it's like, okay, maybe if I
• 50:28
  Speaker 12: know this or you've just given me this, but then
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: your client whoever's like, we want to go another place
• 50:33
  Speaker 12: with it.
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: I'm like, I talk to her all the time. She'll
• 50:35
  Speaker 14: call me about something else.
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: There's been many times where I couldn't do something, but
• 50:38
  Speaker 12: on the back end it's like, ooh, I might get
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: another story that's bigger, or you might come to me
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: and say, hey, this is announcing. Like so it's a
• 50:45
  Speaker 12: transactional thing as well for me, But I want to
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: talk about when, like so Carti says, patients be like,
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: what the There's a lot of moments because y'all don't
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: stage these things, but people always think things are stage
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: uh huh. So like the Harper's Bizarre Party, the Nicki
• 51:02
  Speaker 12: Minaj Cardi b the fight at the Prists party.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: First, well, she didn't even hear the uh she wasn't
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: there when when Cardi made the record, because you heard
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: it when when.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Cardivated for you, you were surprised when she when she
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: said to yeah.
• 51:12
  Speaker 12: I was I wasn't there for when she when she
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: recorded the record in real life, I was just like
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: taken back because why do it have to be mean?
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: But I mean, I guess it only makes sense because
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: a lot of people probably think that there's this this
• 51:29
  Speaker 12: yes man complex and our relationship, and it's the complete opposite,
• 51:34
  Speaker 12: like I'm gonna always have her back right, wrong, oring different,
• 51:38
  Speaker 12: Like there's never gonna be a time that I was
• 51:40
  Speaker 12: standing down from that. But at the same time, where
• 51:42
  Speaker 12: we don't agree, we don't agree respectfully right, and we
• 51:45
  Speaker 12: handled that like adults, and I think we do a
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: really good job of like we know that our loyalty
• 51:50
  Speaker 12: is like friends and basically sisters, is you know, the
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: core of our relationship. But it really doesn't blur the
• 51:57
  Speaker 12: lines when it comes to like being direct about out
• 52:00
  Speaker 12: you know, business decisions or just you know, life decisions.
• 52:04
  Speaker 12: We don't always see out of eye. So there are
• 52:06
  Speaker 12: plenty of times that she does. And I don't know
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: why the Internet thinks that I like have these strings
• 52:12
  Speaker 12: and control what she says or what she can do.
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: Like I think her fans kind of have this idea
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: like take her phone, make her get off the internet,
• 52:19
  Speaker 12: like it's a grown ass woman, Like she's the one
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: do and say as she pleases, and yes, from time
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: to time she asks for suggestions or advisement, but there
• 52:28
  Speaker 12: are some times where she jumps out the window and
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: she do and say whatever she want to do, and
• 52:31
  Speaker 12: now yam looking like what the fuck? Like so like
• 52:35
  Speaker 12: the talent that's coming into fitting freedom. I think what
• 52:37
  Speaker 12: I was going to ask was, there's a lot of
• 52:39
  Speaker 12: those moments in there big because of who she is
• 52:41
  Speaker 12: and become of her personality. How do you in real
• 52:44
  Speaker 12: time strategize and figure it out where it doesn't hit
• 52:48
  Speaker 12: her brand or her business too hard and it works
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: out in your in her favor or at least her
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: narrative is in her fault. I will almost say it's
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: in the re It's kind of like in the reverse,
• 52:58
  Speaker 12: like I'm not thinking with something happens like damage control,
• 53:02
  Speaker 12: which oh my god, like the Association of Publicists, please
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: don't kill me. I'm not thinking like, oh my god,
• 53:07
  Speaker 12: I need to get in crisis control because I think
• 53:10
  Speaker 12: what you build from the beginning, in the tone you
• 53:14
  Speaker 12: set with your client in terms of authenticity, is what
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: carries you through those moments. Because when those moments happen,
• 53:21
  Speaker 12: I don't have to jump into damage control mode because
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: we've been who we are from the beginning. She's been
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: authentic in who she is from the beginning. She's been
• 53:31
  Speaker 12: unapologetic and unfiltered from the beginning. So it really sometimes
• 53:35
  Speaker 12: in a lot of these moments just doubles down on
• 53:37
  Speaker 12: who she's always shown up as. So I think it's
• 53:40
  Speaker 12: really in the opposite for me, Like, I'm not in
• 53:42
  Speaker 12: that moment. Of course, if it's absolutely crazy, let's talk
• 53:46
  Speaker 12: through it, let's figure it out. But it's not a
• 53:49
  Speaker 12: lot of like spinning of the narrative and coming up
• 53:52
  Speaker 12: with things that may not necessarily be true to help
• 53:55
  Speaker 12: stay faced. Like and I love that she's just a
• 53:57
  Speaker 12: woman that she just stands on her Like damn, I
• 54:00
  Speaker 12: did say that.
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: But you know, so do you feel with your pr background, right,
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: do you feel that all publicity is good publicity?
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 54:09
  Speaker 12: I understand it, I understand what it means, but I
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: do still feel like things can be harmful, Like unless
• 54:18
  Speaker 12: all you care about is the attention, that's the advantage
• 54:22
  Speaker 12: of you know, everything is publicity, But if you truly
• 54:26
  Speaker 12: care about a brand that's going to build value and
• 54:29
  Speaker 12: be valuable X amount of years from now, then you
• 54:32
  Speaker 12: should care about you do have to care about what
• 54:35
  Speaker 12: could possibly be harmful. And I think a lot of
• 54:39
  Speaker 12: times for her, she gets this backlash of you don't
• 54:42
  Speaker 12: have to explain everything, you don't need to say everything.
• 54:45
  Speaker 12: And I think there are some times that I'm kind
• 54:47
  Speaker 12: of like, I feel like we could have not said something.
• 54:50
  Speaker 12: But I also feel like I love that she feels
• 54:53
  Speaker 12: the need to set the record straight. So that way,
• 54:56
  Speaker 12: when a conversation does come up with a potential brand
• 54:59
  Speaker 12: partner or you know, a potential partner just in business,
• 55:02
  Speaker 12: or you know, what have you, it's like, I made
• 55:05
  Speaker 12: sure to clear my name and set the record straight,
• 55:08
  Speaker 12: and if what I'm saying is not true, you prove
• 55:10
  Speaker 12: to me that it's not true. And I feel like
• 55:12
  Speaker 12: she calls a lot of people's bluff and and she
• 55:15
  Speaker 12: makes sure to stand on exactly what she thinks and
• 55:18
  Speaker 12: how she feels, and sometimes that comes out in Instagram
• 55:21
  Speaker 12: comments or tweets or what have you. But you know,
• 55:24
  Speaker 12: I don't think that all publicity is good publicity. I
• 55:28
  Speaker 12: think that all publicity is attention, but all attention is
• 55:32
  Speaker 12: not good attention.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: So sometimes don't know the difference bad things about you.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: It's like, damn, she got mentioned a million times in
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: out right, but it's.
• 55:41
  Speaker 12: Like, what is she getting mentioned for? You know, at
• 55:43
  Speaker 12: the end of the day, especially if it's something that
• 55:46
  Speaker 12: defames your character. It's one thing. If it's like if
• 55:50
  Speaker 12: it's about something frivolous like wardrobe or a rumor like
• 55:55
  Speaker 12: a surface you know, gossip topic, but something that defames
• 55:59
  Speaker 12: your character and just your moral compass, like, those still
• 56:03
  Speaker 12: have real repercussions. A lot of people think that no
• 56:06
  Speaker 12: one has any sort of principle anymore when it comes
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: to these businesses. Everybody just wants a name. They just
• 56:13
  Speaker 12: want a celebrity. You know, they'll pay for no, Like,
• 56:16
  Speaker 12: there's still moral clauses and contracts. There are still people
• 56:19
  Speaker 12: that have principles and they want to know how you
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: show up as a person. So if you are defaming
• 56:23
  Speaker 12: who I am and my character which could possibly stand
• 56:27
  Speaker 12: in the way or intervene or interfere with what I'm building,
• 56:30
  Speaker 12: then I'm set the record.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Strator can like, how do these solations headlines hurt or
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: help deals with corporate brands?
• 56:38
  Speaker 16: I mean.
• 56:41
  Speaker 12: They do hurt, right, especially if it's a lot of brands.
• 56:47
  Speaker 12: The brand partnerships go deeper than just the money, Like
• 56:50
  Speaker 12: what's the upfront guarantee? Like how are we structuring this partnership,
• 56:53
  Speaker 12: Like there's still compliance at the end of the day.
• 56:57
  Speaker 12: They want a lot of brands still want to know
• 56:59
  Speaker 12: this is a decent person and they show up as
• 57:02
  Speaker 12: a decent person, and when they go out into the
• 57:03
  Speaker 12: space or in the marketplace to represent my brand or
• 57:05
  Speaker 12: my company, they can be trusted, right because they've obviously
• 57:08
  Speaker 12: spent millions of dollars in resources and manpower to build
• 57:12
  Speaker 12: whatever it is that they're building, and they don't want
• 57:13
  Speaker 12: to compromise that. So a salacious headline. If you think
• 57:17
  Speaker 12: about press, right, there's never a time where a headline
• 57:20
  Speaker 12: will go up about a particular person or topic and
• 57:24
  Speaker 12: they don't end that article recount every other thing that
• 57:27
  Speaker 12: is attached to that person. So and also, right before
• 57:30
  Speaker 12: this happened, such and such was supposed to sign a
• 57:33
  Speaker 12: deal or a signing a deal with this company. So
• 57:36
  Speaker 12: now you're you know, if I'm a publicist for this
• 57:38
  Speaker 12: brand and I'm getting these Google alerts, this person who
• 57:40
  Speaker 12: I'm supposed to be doing business with is now showing
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: up in my alerts in correlation to the name of
• 57:46
  Speaker 12: my brand. Or my company in a terrible way. So
• 57:49
  Speaker 12: to your point even earlier, it's all press good press.
• 57:52
  Speaker 12: That's not good press for them, especially depending on whatever
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: that brand is built upon. If their geared towards mothers,
• 57:59
  Speaker 12: or their geared towards a cer type of audience, and
• 58:01
  Speaker 12: that headline is either prejudiced or hurtful against that audience,
• 58:06
  Speaker 12: that's not good press. You want to say what I'm saying,
• 58:09
  Speaker 12: So I mean salacious headlines do you know come with
• 58:14
  Speaker 12: a certain level of damage when you're building outside of
• 58:17
  Speaker 12: just your self brand and most talent, if they're smart,
• 58:21
  Speaker 12: they're building a brand of their own so that they
• 58:23
  Speaker 12: can collaborate and partner with other companies and other brands.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Man, thank you for coming patients. We ain't gonna never
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: beat the CARDI B payroll.
• 58:40
  Speaker 14: Fifth and Freedom. Those artists are going to be lucky.
• 58:42
  Speaker 14: Talent gonna be lucky.
• 58:47

• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Are you looking for something in particular right now, I.
• 59:05
  Speaker 12: Don't think we're ever looking for something in particular. It
• 59:07
  Speaker 12: really is just a field thing. Like we have a really,
• 59:10
  Speaker 12: really dope emerging artist that's coming out of Delaware, Billy Bird,
• 59:14
  Speaker 12: who we've been working with for a few years. But
• 59:16
  Speaker 12: now we're even we're in a better position and have
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: a lot more there's a lot more opportunity in like
• 59:24
  Speaker 12: building her out, because breaking artists out of very small
• 59:26
  Speaker 12: markets is very difficult. But she's so talented, she's so
• 59:29
  Speaker 12: We're all like, so I don't think we're really looking
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: for anything, but we're also not looking so not not
• 59:36
  Speaker 12: do with that information, which you will, thank you so much.
• 59:43
  Speaker 17: Yes, some donkey today's just themselves man, Charlotte Magne, prudy given,

• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I got a rule. I don't know you people who
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: were born the same year Kanye West College Dropout was released. Okay,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not going back and forth with anybody who was
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: born the same year Ti I dropped his third urban legend. Okay,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: how do I look debating somebody who just entered the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: world the year Lula Wayne dropped the car to one?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: There is nothing to be gained by that conversation.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: There is also a theory that young inns of that
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: age don't want to work, Okay, that young ends of
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: that age have a sense of entitlement, that young inns
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: that age want things handed to them. Well, Angel didn't
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: disprove any of that, Okay. In fact, Angel might be
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: exhibiting on why a lot of that is probably true.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go to ABC thirteen Eye Witness News for the report.

• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: have bills depay, you decided to shoot and kill eighteen
• 1:01:52

  Speaker 2: Okay. He also tried to shoot the victim's brother.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: That's what a nine year old witness reportedly heard the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: suspects say, I'm gonna kill all of them.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: If you can come up with a plan to commit
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: a murder, then you can come up with a plan

  Speaker 1: Everybody out there listening to me right now, just imagine
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: the kind of cushion you could have for yourself if
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to pay any bills, not one for
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: three months.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, free.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Loaders out there, if somebody is blessing you with the
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: opportunity to not have to pay any bills for any
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: amount of time, please find a way to make that
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: person's life easier. Young man, your name is Angel Gomez Montanez.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I know you had to urge to do some law
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: and work. Okay, it's in you, all right. I know
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: you wanted to cut some grass, trim some hedges, find
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: a cabinet to fix. Okay, there's gotta be a pipe
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: clogged up somewhere. There was something you could have been
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: doing in that apartment to make things easier for the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: people you was freeloading off. This is why we can't
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: get rid of job cart No, no, no, okay, the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: screech needed. Young men like this don't have nothing else
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: to do, can't find a job. Job car would be
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: perfect for him. Let him go to job called learn
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: the trade, get his GEDA diploma and go out there
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: and you know, have some money to pay his on bills. Now, look,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: kids nowadays don't want to work. Is a broad generalization. Okay,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even believe it. Okay, I know plenty of
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: young hustling ass kids, but these young kids will kill you.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: It's not a generalization. Okay, these young is just crazy.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: I know the prefrontal cor text doesn't fully develop until
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the age of twenty five, but my god, all right, Angel,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: you would have never survived in those scrubs era. He
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: would have been in the passenger side of his best
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: friend's ride letting.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Off shots if you calling them bus.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: But guess what, Angel, all that was from you know,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: all that all that was was a challenge from your family.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: When somebody says, yo, you need to go get a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: job to help pay some bills, that means you need
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: to get up, get out and get something. Okay, That's
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: why they was encouraging you to do that. That's all
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: they wanted. But now you don't have to worry about
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: room and board anymore because you got a murder charge. Okay,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: in Texas, you're going to jail for ninety nine years
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: of life, and you will have to get a job.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: Young man.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, food service, laundry, maintenance, furniture manufacturing. Oh, you're gonna

• 1:06:01
  Speaker 11: thankful in the moment.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: What's important to why'd you decide to do that? Why
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: you wanted to go back? Most people go forward?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 11: Why do you want to go back and see where
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 11: you So you know, going on the breakfast club is
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 11: cool for the third time. So I'm like, okay, I'm
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 11: literally going to drive to one on sixth and Columbus.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 11: Then I drove to I lived in cliffs Side Park,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 11: and then so I drove to all these just I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: do that just sometimes when I feel like I might
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 11: be losing motivation, just to get that back. And then
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 11: also sometimes it's in celebration mode type thing.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now, for people that don't know who you are.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: You're an NBA trainer, play basketball for Louisville. Yeah, and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: what got you into training basketball? Why do people feel
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: like you are the trainer that they should work with
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: because you work. We've seen you work with people like
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: of course Mellow, We've seen you work with Lebron, We've
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: seen you work with Hard and Westbrook, just to name
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: a few.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: So why are you the person that people say I
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: got to train with Chris.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 11: Man's That's a great question. I thank God every day.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 11: I think at the end of the day, I'm a
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 11: good person. I study my craft and the players know
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 11: I care. And also I'd be dumb not to say
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 11: luck comes with anything. Anyone really successful, some type of
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 11: luck needs to come wrong the way.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: How much of a player development is mental versus physical?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: That's a great question.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 11: That's so many players that if you watch the workout,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 11: they wouldn't miss a shot, and you bet they should
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 11: be in the NBA. They play in Europe because when
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 11: the game comes, they just become like a mental midget,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 11: Like they miss a shot then they just pack it in.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 11: So yeah, the mental aspect is huge. So like my
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 11: job is a I'm a trainer, teaching players how to play,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 11: but then also teaching players like don't get too down,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 11: hold yourself accountable. A lot of mental stuff, yeah, a
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 11: part of it, huge, huge.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 12: So aside of mental, what else do you look at
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 12: when a player when you're like okay this. Players want
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 12: to be a star.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's two ways that go about it.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: So sometimes else I'll work with a player and he's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 11: already all star. So in those aspects, they still want
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 11: to get better, but they'll be like studying my game,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 11: try and figure out what I need to get better at.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 11: I'll tell him what I think and then we'll attack it.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 11: Then you have situations like Donovan Mitchell. So I started
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 11: working with Donovan Mitchell. He had like seven hundred followers
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 11: on Instagram. He was like in eleventh grade. Now he's
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 11: an NBA superstar. So they're like to do that and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 11: see that it's super dope. I did that with Kayane Anthony,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 11: Cole Anthony, and recently Sierra Future Junior. He's eleven years old.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 11: Russell Wilson hits me up and he's like, yo, I
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 11: want you to do what you did Kayenne Cole Donovan
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 11: to my son so he's been in the gym.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: But let me ask you, what when you like a
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: play like Lebron, right, who's probably one of the best
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: players ever one of Right, what do you train him
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: to make him better?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 18: Like?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: What can make him better?
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: When I'm saying, what makes you like he's the goat?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 11: So, yeah, you're right, it's like, so a he can
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 11: get better at things, like even great players always have
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 11: some flaws in their game. Once we started working, Lebron
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 11: was like, all right, I want you to watch film
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 11: and I come over to the workout tomorrow and tell
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 11: me two things that I need to get better at.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 11: So this is like nerve wracking going on. Lebron he
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 11: did it, and so I gave him two things. He
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 11: liked them, and uh yeah, so that there's always weaknesses.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 11: There's always weaknesses even the greats.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: Now you call Lebron the goat, people will be like,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: Lebron's not the goat.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Jordan is the go too. Why do you have Lebron
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: as your goat?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 11: He would scored the most points in NBA history. That's
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: just the fact he holds so many records, I mean,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 11: effect doing in this era with the social media and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 11: all that all the hate, it's just a lot what
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 11: he's going through. He's won team championships with three teams.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 11: His his brand is Giant, so this was Jordan's. But
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 11: now I'm teaming Lebron all day.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 14: How do you fee when people be coming for Bronni.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 11: It's it's messed up because the end of the day,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 11: he didn't choose to be Lebron's son. Like he he's
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 11: a great He's literally like a great kid. And you
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 11: could tell, you know, it's like a little it's a
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 11: sore spot for the family. I wouldn't want someone messed
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 11: with my kid, and none of none of you guys would.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 11: But Brownie is actually really good. I think that. Uh,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 11: I think he's just gonna peak, like in a year
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 11: or two.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: Do you think he should bring in the league because
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 5: that's your training for sure.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 11: For sure, because people don't understand before his freshman year
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 11: here that hard stuff, like I think he had the
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 11: guest was this seizure or he passed out something the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 11: major couldn't so he could played like half the season.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 11: So yeah, and he's an NBA player.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what what made you pivot to being a trainer
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: right rather than in a career of being a player.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so obviously I wanted the d NBA player, but
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 11: I wasn't good enough, so I couldn't. I couldn't. Yeah, nah,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: so I made the most him. So I grew up
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 11: in New Hampshire. You know, I still hold the record
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: many records there.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Played at Louisville.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 11: Had two NBA guys in front of me, and yeah,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 11: I could have gone overseas, but I was like, I
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 11: played for Rick Patino and then my two mentors at
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 11: Rick Patino and Phil Jackson was actually on the shirt two.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Of the greatest coaches ever do it.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 11: And so I'm like, Okay, if I have the opportunity
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 11: to know these guys, let's attack this coaching thing. So
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 11: I did the coaching thing, Like now it's not for me.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 11: So then I started training thing.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: Who was the first player that believed in you as
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: a trader?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: Said, you know, Jarah Smith, that's one of my some
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: of my close friends.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 11: My first year when I was with the Knicks, I
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 11: was making three hundred dollars a week. He let me
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 11: stay in his and his couch. So I stayed on
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 11: Jr's couch for the whole year. Shout out to Jr.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 11: For that hand to do that. Yeah Jr. Is a
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 11: good guy.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 12: Did you see recently Don Sali was talking about she
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 12: interviewed to be the coach of the Knicks.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah, what do you think about that?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's fire.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 12: I don't know if I feel like they would have
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 12: known how to protect her in the way she might
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 12: have needed. They would have came right. Everything I would
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 12: have came her way, and I would have hated to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 12: have seen that. But I don't know much about sports.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 12: I just know being a black woman.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no, for sure, I wanted to get the job.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 11: I think soon enough there will be a coach in
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 11: the NBA. It's a girl coach there, tot girl refs.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 11: It's kind of funny when the players yelling at the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 11: but uh, yeah, no, I think it's coming soon for sure.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: What's the most slept on player in NBA right now?
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 11: To slept on right now in the league, So like
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 11: there's levels, I guess, but I would say tie Jerome,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 11: Tie Jerome. Yeah, he's like another kid. I guess I'm
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 11: being biased. I've worked to them since like eighth grade,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 11: and just to see that, there's no better feeling working
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 11: with the kid and watching him like achieve his dreams.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: Have you ever trained somebody that you knew they was
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: just gonna be trash after you even after that?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 11: Maybe if I do like favorite workouts like but like
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 11: for like someone's some celebrity son you know, Clue. Clue
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 11: is overly confident. He's like delusionally confident. But so yes,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 11: but to be a good colul that is so funny.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 11: So to be a good shooter, you need to be
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 11: delusionally confident. But he's he's just not a great shiitt
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 11: yet talking about.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, who plays basket Cloe takes basketball series?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 11: Do these rapper runs and it will be like Drake
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 11: Quavo Bieber and who's there? He's there?
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, No, No, Clue plays well for real, like he
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: comes like, yes, I know all the time you think
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: about the jump hut what he does like from the
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 5: side it goes in though, So.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 11: You get that, and he's probably get mad at me
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 11: for what I've said me to it. He's a good guy.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: We're still kicking it with Chris Brickley.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: I want to ask you know, when you train these
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: players and you look at somebody like Lebron or you
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: look at somebody like Chris Paul that that are, you know,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: forty year old, but they still play good ball. Why
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: do you think they're able to play so good at
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: this age where a lot of players at the age
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: of thirty two got to tap out?
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Is it the training?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: Is it the body in shape or is it your
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: IQ when it comes to basketball, just the way they
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: their approach, Like, so Lebron will do it eight am workout.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: He shows up at six am every single time. Say
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: we've worked out twenty times, ten am workout, he shows
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: up at eight am, like he's just like prepared. And
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: I think these guys, I think the ones that make
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: it so to take ten years, super hard to make
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: it past ten years. To do that, you got to
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: sacrifice sometimes your family time. You got to sacrifice a lot. Yeah,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: it's tough.
• 1:14:22

  Speaker 14: It's like a trainer influencer.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate that.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 11: Influence a word, but no, I guess you could say
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 11: that for sure. But so we I seen someone wearing
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 11: Rudy Gay was wearing Puma's. I sent my manager, but
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 11: we need to get this done. We end up getting
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 11: it done. So then two years into it, asked them
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 11: for a sneaker. They're like, no, I remember being on
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 11: the flight to alex like, yo, I gotta work harder.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 11: Like next year, got a sneaker. First sneaker sold out
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 11: first day, and I'm like, damn, I didn't even think people,
• 1:16:39

• 1:16:43
  Speaker 11: Goods all of the world. Now this is the third one,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 11: and uh, you know, I'm hoping it just does good
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 11: helping ourselves up.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: Man, it's dope.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: I heard you say earlier that you like to go
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: back to some of the places that you live when
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 6: you feel I cannot motivate it or you want to celebrate.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: What about what you do get you in a rupt
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: where you're not motivated?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 11: Sometimes, man, just uh, I feel like I'm giving all
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 11: my energy, right, I feel like, so, say I have
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 11: seven workouts today, every seventh player that comes in, all
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 11: seven players, they want the full Chris Brickley. So I
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 11: feel like seven pm comes and like my brain is done.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 11: And sometimes that affects my personal life, like I'm not
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 11: giving my girlfriend the energy she needs, or I'm not
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 11: giving my family I have. I have a big family,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 11: or maybe I'm it just and I know you guys
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 11: know how that how that works. But so just any job,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 11: and then sometimes the players, one superstar player might not
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 11: like it if I'm marking another superstar player out. So
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 11: keeping the politics and all that.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you surprised by your fame sometimes because I know
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: you came to the call show last week and just
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: like people were taking pictures with you like crazy, like
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: it would be like almost surprising to you.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: My boy next so he's seen it all.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 11: He was when no one knew me he was there,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 11: so shout out. The next he was with me at

• 1:18:09
  Speaker 11: you know, take pictures and then you know, one dude's like, yo,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 11: we do an interview, we had some podcasting. Then another
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 11: dude's like, we take a picture and there's just like
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 11: six people right away, And I was just like it's
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 11: it's amazing right to have that. But just sometimes like
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 11: where I live, it's an issue. I have to promote
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 11: where my gym is and where I live, so as
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 11: people waiting outside that I want to propose stuff and
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 11: it's just like, uh, I want some privacy.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. I started feeling like your car show were
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: not his, but it was dope.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Though, oh thank you.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: I want to ask you know, when it when it
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: comes to these trainers and they seek you out.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 5: Do these people pay you?
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: Does Lebron cut you a check for training? Or does
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: these people You'd be like, nah, I'll train Lebron for free.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, so they'll all pay.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 11: Everyone I trained pays, but I let it. I like
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 11: leave it up to them, especially like the superstar players.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 11: I know I'm getting some out of it, so I'm like,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 11: whatever you think that you deserve, pay me now. The
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 11: young guys, I feel like some guys come to me
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 11: because they just want an Instagram post to have like
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 11: a big platform, and I'm like, nah, I'm not. If
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 11: you want to work out a week or two weeks,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 11: we can do it, but I'm not doing the one workout,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 11: one Instagram post. We're not doing that.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: What's the most you got paid? You know what you
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: got to say? Who's from just the most you got
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 5: paid to train with Chris Breakley?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 11: Well, I guess I'll give you two answers.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: Gary V.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 17: Did it like.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 11: Did some of my charity thing? Someone spent? Was it
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 11: fifteen thousand dollars to train on me? But as far
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 11: as like how much I charge someone, so usually it
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 11: would be like I won't be in a good mood,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 11: I'm tired. Someone asked me to train, and I just
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 11: give some crazy number, thinking say no because you.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: Don't feel like it.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: For sure. We got that for sure.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 11: So I got twenty five hundred, like a thirty minute workout.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: That was the most for sure. Yeah that's which is fine,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 11: which is cool.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's just it's not like now you did
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: say you're you know, sometimes your your your girlfriend and
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: your kid doesn't get to see you like that. Who
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 6: are you outside of your brand? And yeah you do right,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: because definitely matter as a person.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 11: For sure.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 11: I'm like a super introvert. So I watched the first
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: two my two interviews here and I'm like cringe. I'm like,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 11: damn because that's not me. I get mad at Chai.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 11: It's funny, like I'm like, but when I'm speaking to
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 11: Lebron or I'm speaking to KD or these like or
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 11: Bieber or Drake in a workout, I'm like, I'm super confident. Yeah,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 11: but then I get I become introvert. But nah, I'm
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 11: just a super loving person, care about my people. That's
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 11: my whole life. Like when I told my dad he
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 11: could retire, that was like like I made it like
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 11: in my life and my that's how I feel. So yeah,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 11: So I think I'm I'm a good person that take
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: pride in that I've learned though, as your life is living,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: people take advantage of that.
• 1:21:02
