• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and challenging. So, like Jaz said, like herself, trying to
• 7:24

• 7:26
  Speaker 3: back on that horse falling off or after you just decided,

• 7:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit, so I hope that you guys didn't
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: help us do that. So without further ado, I'm going
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: to get on to the first question. The first question
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I have CALLI.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, Kelly, thank you.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: So what inspired you to start your business and how
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: did you identify it was a good time to do
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: so in the market?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Status?
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Oh so made me start my business?
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Actually just made a shirt one day for my basketball team,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: and then everybody just liked it. I was probably like
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: I don't I say, like thirteen, fourteen years old, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: it just took off after that. I just start just
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: having these ideas, like I would see shirts, you know
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: what I mean, people wearing them, and then I'd be like,
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: you know what, I could do that, and I just
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: start trying to make my little version of it. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: then when I when I got in my twenties, I
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: kind of start taking it serious. That's when I came
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: up on my logo. I came up with my own
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: name like this, that Blackifornia name, and I just been
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: running and I just been running with it ever since,
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: like just going ahead, and I think already.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: In Colorado when you came up.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: With that to kind of now I've been doing this.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: I was in California, like when I, like I said,
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: when I was a teenager. I've been doing this since
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: I was a teenager. So as soon as I got
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: probably like seventeen, that's when I took it like like serious,
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: start making it for people, like in my neighborhood.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Or it sounds crazy, but I used to be like
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: in trap houses.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: And I would have my clothes just hung up, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: then people would come in and I was like, you know, take.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: This out like barbershops, barbershops.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: You know, yeah, I would just I was just trying
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: to get barbershops. So I was just trying to get
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: it in where I fit in, you know, I mean,
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: just trying to get that word out there. Because I
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: knew the name. I knew the name of I knew
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: the name was catching. I just had to market it
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: the right way. I just knew my idea was good.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: I just had to market it the right way.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: And when did you find the right time to market? What?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: What was the status? And I know you said you
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: just kind of went with an idea. Was it just
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that you just, hey, I'm just gonna try something, or
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: did you kind of see that it was a good
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: time to you know, kind of French out there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: It was good in California.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: Like I said, I was doing out there, and then
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: as soon as I moved to Miami, like I was,
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: kind I was doing music at the same time, so
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I kind of started branding my music with the clothes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: But Miami at that time was just like the hot spot.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Everybody wanted to come to Miami, So I just knew
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: that was the time to do it because it was
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: people from Canada, people from Cali, New York, Jamaica, everybody
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: was coming to Miami at the time when I was
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: out there, So I just knew, all right, I could
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: just hit this market right here on South Beach and
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: they would just spread.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: And that's exactly what happened.
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: I was giving my shirts to homeless people, I was
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: giving to everybody, and everybody was just wearing every every
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: artist that came out there, every singer came out there,
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: I was just giving them shirts and they was just
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: wearing them. So that kind of it kind of just
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: took off for me after that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: So the right market for you was basically just finding
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: out where the crowd was at the time. Well, what
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: was the getting on the scene. Yeah, all right, I
• 10:46

  Speaker 3: that's awesome. I'm glad she's joining us. Do as you
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: want to go on with Mss Queen.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad that she was able to tappen because
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: with her description, that actually brings me to one of
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: the questions that I had for her, which is, how
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: do you stay innovative while trying to adapt to changing
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: trends and customer needs with what you do.
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: M ah hah hah yeah, h mm hm m hm
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: h m hm.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Definitely definitely uh huh mm hmm.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Mum hum.
• 14:42
  Speaker 12: Definitely that it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: Sure it does. Definitely did.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Being adaptive was number one, uh, the key thing in COVID,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: So being adaptive in all those situations, you know, congratulations
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: to those who did still thrive. All right, miss Melissa,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I've got one for you. What leadership qualities do you
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: feel are important to possess while building a business or brand?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Which I feel like you know, that's a good question
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: for you since you work with different clients.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely. One of the best and the major leadership
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: qualities that entrepreneurs should have is definitely being a decision
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: maker and an action taker. So a lot of people
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: get stuck in that hamster wheel of overthinking and they're like,
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: should I do this? Should I do that? I can
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: do this because, like the Queen was saying, we have
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: so many skills, we have so many talents, we have
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: so many things that we can do, and sometimes it's
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: just about saying, you know what, instead of me trying
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: to do all the things, what is that one thing
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: that I can just put my focus on right now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: make a decision and then take those steps forward, because
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: clarity comes from taking action. You don't know if you're
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: good at something. You don't know if you know something's
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: gonna work unless you make a decision and then you
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: go for it. So definitely, being a decision maker an
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: action taker is definitely something. You have to have a
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: leadership quality. And you know, I see myself more when
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: I'm with my clients is I'm like a wolf pack leader.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: And so a wolf pack leader actually leads at the back.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: They're not at the front of the pack. They're the
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: last person in the back because not only can they
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: see what's happening in the back, they can see what's
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: happening on the sides what's happening in front. And being
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: a leader doesn't mean you know all the like all
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: the eyes have to be on you. You have to
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: be able to see things from different angles, like I said,
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: to make the best decision for your business, for your brand,
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: so that you can move forward and build the momentum
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: and multiply like like you want to.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: That's good. That's good. I like the wolf That's something that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, well I was just gonna say since we
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: were talking about the wolf Cape, the wolf Pack and
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: you know, everything like that, and having to have those
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: different eyes if you will, on everything. That actually leads
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: me into the question that I got for Cali, like
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: what strategy is when you would move out to Miami
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: and you know, every after everything you had done, what
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: strategies did you find work best to help you grow
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: your business?
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: So even back then before the Internet, and even now,
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: I think it's coming back just showing your face more
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: out out in the public because everybody could be in
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: the Internet and everybody could judge you off that. But
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: sometimes when you meet people face the face, you shake
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: their hands, how they say, kissing, taking hands and kissing babies,
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: presidential stuff.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Just doing stuff like that because I'm good at that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: I'm good at talking to people.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: Networking, so I guess like hitting little network parties and
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: stuff like that. Still getting your face out there, just
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: like it's just like if it was campaigning for like
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: the state mayor or something like that. You know, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: just want to get your face out there because sometimes
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: people by the face and by the attitude more than
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: the brand. And then sometimes it's vice versa. I don't
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: like you, but they like the brand, So I think
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: I sell more like doing that just networking with people.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, personality definitely sells. I know they say other things sell,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you know, but personality definitely sells. I know Jesse and
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I have talked about even in the workplace, how I
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: don't you know even in emails. Emails can get a
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: little heated. I do about two emails if we go
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: back and forth, I'm picking up the phone.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Another reason for that, though, is because because as my customer,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you can't hear how urgent I am working for you,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: how hard I'm working for you. When I say, oh
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I'm pissed off to or yes I do understand, you
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: can't really understand that through text message. That's why they
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: call me the emoji queen. I use a lot of
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: emotions to feel what I'm saying. But it is something
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: about being more personable to somebody and they can feel
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: what you're doing versus that you're just trying to sell
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: them something. So say personable is very serious. So that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: that's that's awesome.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: And yes, m m hm mm hmm.
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: Hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: And I think that's a lot. Like I said, it's
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: a lost I think it's a lost art now. Like
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: you said, everybody got so comfortable with the Internet, they
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: forgot about going outside because of COVID and everything.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Like how you they don't want to interact with right now.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Doing that right now?
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, with.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Everything, you got to take the good with the bad.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: COVID showed us the good with the bad.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I will say this, even to you both that said,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: you know, even being personable and how just being you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the person can say ill, there are some instances where
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: that's a gift and a curse because we all know
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: of some artists that are just a household name, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: like she just said, they can sell something that don't
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: say nothing just because it's their name.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: You're gonna buy it. That's not always the best thing.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: So but but on the flip side, I can say
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: it's because of the impression that they've left on people
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: from whatever they've put out before, or whatever they shook
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: hand and kissed some babies, you know, whatever they've done before.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And we as we all know first impressions or lasting impressions.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: So from whatever they've done before, I'm just saying, just
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: make sure that whatever name you leave in left a
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: good impression already.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, And even with that being said.
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: That's building a person. Well, I was just gonna say,
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: that's a personal brand right there. It's it's your reputation.
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: It's like what people think and feel about you, and
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: so like it makes sense that you know, whatever you do,
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: if someone's got a connection with you, someone loves your mission,
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: your vision, they see where you're going, they like your personality. Yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: they'll support you, they get behind you. So yeah, it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: really important nowadays to like know and be conscious of
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: that because we were shut down and locked in for
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: so long. People do want to get out and meet
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: poor people and build more communities and build bigger communities
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: and make movements and yeah, and it's really important to
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: do that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: They want to see real people doing real things. AI
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: is doing a lot so to see real people And
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: that's a whole other show.
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: We'll really everybody on the panel.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: But and that's some good advice that everybody is given
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: being personable and stuff. And one of the other key
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: points is people don't really remember what you do, but
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: how you made them feel. So they'll probably follow you
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: to do anything because they know what type of person
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: you are. So those are some good key advices advice
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: to give to some people. And while we're talking about advice,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Ms Queen, let me.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Ask you this question.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: What is the best advice or just just some really
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: good advice that you could give anyone starting their first
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: business or their brand. We've heard some good points, but
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: what is like some of the best advice you could
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: give them to to get started.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: H mm hmm.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: That's good. A lot of people are a little afraid
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: to do that, you know that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I think one of the conversations Queen and I have
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: had before and we were talking about success, and she
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: said one thing that and it's something that I'll keep
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: forever even if you don't know, If you don't know that,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I took that away in my spirit. But she said
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: to me, a lot of people know what it feels
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: like to fail, so you know that they're okay with
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: that a little bit. But a lot of people are
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: afraid of success because they don't know how that feels.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: So don't be agreed to succeed just because you don't
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: know how that feels. I mean, and I feel like
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: this even when she said that, I mean, it had
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: to you know, marinate in my spirit like neck bone
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: juice for a little bit. But even after that, it
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: was kind of like, if you already know what fail
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: your feels like, why not go for success? I mean that,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: you know, if you already know what fail your feels like,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: you know, so don't be afraid to go for that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: So that's some really good advice. Jazz, you got a
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: question for somebody?
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I got Sorry, no, God, can I can
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: I just add to that because it's and I just
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: came across this recently where somebody was hesitant to start
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: their business and people will like kind of say, oh,
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: because they've never got to success because they never had
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: that desire in that heart to try something. You're also
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: dealing with the negativity of other people who haven't been there,
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: who haven't been willing to take the risk, and you're
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: looking at them saying should I do this, and not
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: their vision. They don't see where you're going, they don't
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: have the heart for what you have, and they're like, oh,
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: I don't know if you should do that. The market
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: saturated and this and that. It's like it's on your heart,
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: you get exactly, and it's like if you have something
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: on your heart to do. It's there for a reason
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: and you should go for it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: And I think it's the number one thing too, like that,
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: the passion for doing it too. It If you're doing
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: it just for money, you're gonna fail, you know what
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: I mean. You got to have a passion in what
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: you're doing. Yes, are you not just going to follow
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: through your dream or it's just going to feel like
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: a job.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: It's going to feel like a tedious thing, you know,
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: like you got to love what you do. So it's
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: do what you're saying.
• 26:01
  Speaker 14: Y hmm ye, look at.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: H m hm.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: No never never.
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, by violent purple and violent.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Purple and violate is closed. It's close, but it ain't the.
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: Same thing, right, keep it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and what they see.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And sometimes it's sometimes it's a time. Sometimes it's
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: a timing thing. Like you said, it may not be
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: your time. It's God wouldn't went on your time, you
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: know what I mean, Just like my clothes. I've been
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: doing this for so long. It's just I have waves.
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: Sometime I'm hit and it sometimes it's nothing. But right now,
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: God's just letting me hit. I'm on all cylinders.
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: It's a time sometime, you know, I mean, we've talked.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: About that being being anointed but not yet appointed. So
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: you're still there.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: They just they't called your number of yet. You in
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: the lobby, the lobby, you in the right place. It's
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: just not your time yet, all right.
• 28:25
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, that comes back to that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: Will Well, Oh I sure do. I was gonna ask
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: Melissa because that kind of brings us into what we
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: were just talking about with just taking that like with
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Queen Angelis at taking that risk, taking that leap of
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: faith in some things. Have you seen, Melissa, any common
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: mistakes that nor is me with the progress and the process.
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: When they're first starting, like when they're first starting.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like whatever, Yeah, any common mistakes were first trying
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: to get started.
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah. One thing that I see a lot of people
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: do is kind of in line with what we're saying
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: now is they're trying to do everything because they think
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: they need to do everything. And sometimes it's like they're
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: doing things because like oh I should be doing this,
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: I should be doing that, I have this skill, I
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: have that skill. But it's because you have the skill
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: or you have the the know how how to do something,
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: does it mean that you were called to do maybe
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: something to do that maybe something in that skill will
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: help you. But it's about knowing what am I here
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: to do? What is my purpose? My calling? Like what
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: is it that I have on my heart to do?
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: Because like we're saying, you look around and you're seeing
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: this person doing this, you might get influenced that you
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: need to do it too, but you really have to
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: say true to what it is that you're here to do.
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: And something that I say is be a voice and
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: not an echo. You know, like you have a voice,
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: you have a message, you have a mission, you have
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: a vision. Don't like be looking and seeing what other
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: people are doing, because you're just going to be. You know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: like a copy is never as good as the original.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: So be the original that you were created to be.
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: And so so yeah, don't try to be everything, don't
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: try to do everything. And set boundaries. That's another thing,
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: like you don't have to be a doormat and you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: like fall over at everyone's feet. Set your boundaries even
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: with yourself. Set your boundaries whether it's like time or
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: energy or projects. Like just be focused, be fully focused.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Sure, definitely, Like Queen was just saying, you gotta find
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: your niche and keep it there staying your lane. I
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: had one of my old bosses tell me because I
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: used to run around trying to start everything and probably
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: finish nothing. But one of the things that he taught me,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: he said, you know, shining, you got to slow down,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: he said, because if you're everywhere, you're nowhere. And I
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: mean when he said it, I didn't catch it because
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I was probably zooming in and out of the office
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: when he said it. But you know, as it later
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: caught up with me in life and again, just like
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Queen's talking to me after it marinated, I kind of
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: understood that if you're everywhere, you're nowhere, what are you
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: focused on so that you can complete it and be
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: successful in that Because if you're everywhere, you're not solidly anywhere,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: You're not focused on anything.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: If you're everywhere.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, So that was good, awesome, Thank you for that. Well,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Jazz and I have gotten a lot of information from
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you all, but there is one question we've been holding off.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: We've saved the best for last drum roll and all that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: We wanted to know from all of you, and we'll
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: go from Cali to Queen to Melissa. What are your
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: biggest fails or setbacks? During your process, and what did
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: you learn from them?
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: What has been?
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: What has been if they're still going on?
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know we got to keep learning, but
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: what has been or what are your biggest fails?
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I guess during COVID because I couldn't order no clothes
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: because I was ordered closed from overseas, So I kind
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: of learned a lesson from that.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: But even if I would have ordered.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: I guess in town still during COVID, stuff is still
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: kind of messed up. So like that, I don't know
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: that that kind of hurt me, like big time. So
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: I didn't know what to do during COVID for a
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: whole year. So like that was like my biggest fail
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: during COVID. But I hate using COVID as an excuse,
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: like because of COVID?
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Can I call that? Can I call that procrastinature? A
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: little bit like do you see if you would have
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: pre order because you saw a good thing happening for.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: You, you didn't jump.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: I just didn't know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: And then when it was out of time, it was
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: just what I was.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: I was moving a lot at that time. Well I was.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Moving a lot at that time, so and then I
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: didn't have my store, so I was going from DC
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: to Colorado. I was coming back and forth, and I
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: didn't know what I really wanted to do at that time.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: Like I know, I was wanted to do clothes, but
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: I was just stuck. I was just stuck. So I just, yeah,
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: I was just procrastinating. I was everywhere but nowhere exactly.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: So that's my biggest fail. I just I guess I
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: just gave up. I guess, man because of COVID, But
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: I hate saying that because of COVID.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: Because of COVID, but but I gave it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: You need something to blame. That's everybody, everybody.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: It doesn't happen to be during that time.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: I guess.
• 34:04
  Speaker 13: I mean, well, let's.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Let's let's try to flip that a little bit. If
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: COVID hadn't happened, what what would you see in your
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: processes of being an entrepreneur would be one of the
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: biggest fails that you saw that you you even set
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: yourself up, like you know, they say, don't set yourself
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: up for failure, But what did you see that you
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: maybe could have prevented something like that?
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: So I so that was my biggest feel. But then
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: I've had fails like right, before that or right right
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: after that. So like i'd buy like the like A close,
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: I think that's nice. I think that's cool, and then
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: I buy it and it just sits there just you
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: know what I mean.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: On the rack, nobody buys it. Nobody assisted.
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: So I didn't have ideas that failed before, you know
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: what I mean. But then that's where you gotta come.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: You got to keep coming, stay consistent, stay consistent.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what that's.
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: When those become promos and freebie shirts, the ones that
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: don't sell, give them out for free, give give them
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: out to homeless people, give up to rappers, give back
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: to influencers.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: Just give them out.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Hopefully the next idea hit and they'd be like, oh
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: I remember that name that Oh you had a different
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: logo this time.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: So I kind of take my fails as as less.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: I just take my fails as less as I like
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: failing sometimes because I'd be Okay, I'll come back from that,
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: because I love.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Proving people wrong. I love doing that.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: That's like my goal to Like if it failed and
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: people were like I told you it's gonna fail, like all.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Right, cool, that wouldn't fail.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: But I got more back here hold on, buddy, let
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: me bring this one to fouth.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: So so I love that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm a grind, I'm a hustler, so I mean
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: I've been at the bottom. So anyway, I can't go
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: nowhere else but up.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Just to follow up with that, in touch on that
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: before we move on.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I know, I just wanted to commend you, Cally, because
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I know recently you had your account hacked and.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Somebody tried to do something.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling somebody I saluted you because you were like,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: you know what, you can keep those followers and those likes,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I'll rebuild them.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: And I was telling her, I said, you know that.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not about those followers and stuff like that,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: but I know that it took you time to brand yourself,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: get out there, reach certain people, and do certain things
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: like that, and to just give it all up and say,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: not only can you keep them, but I'll double that
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: by next week or you know, and have that confidence in.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Yourself because I mean, I get to meet new people,
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: like y'all, build a new fan base.
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: Meeting new people.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Now I gotta go out shake hands and kissed babies again,
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: you know what I.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Mean, just just new people. This time, just newer people. So,
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: like I said, I love the grind.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I like that, bro.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: It just made me grind harder, made me still my
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: grind man. So when that happened, actually, like I said,
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: it just made it just motivated me, like, man, watch this,
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: I'm approving, like, oh you did that, watch this. I'm
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: gonna do it again. I'm gonna double up on it
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: and I'm gonna pass you.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: So did it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Before I can do it again?
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, act, well, I'm glad those people followed you back
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: and again it goes back to not not just what
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: you do, but it's how you made them feel, how
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: you were out there personable, being diplomatic and giving some
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: stuff away. So facts we appreciate y'all hearing the streets queen,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I'll ask you the same question. What was what has
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: been one of your biggest feels or setbacks during your process?
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: And then how did you learn from that?
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, yeahm.
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: Mm hmm, yeah, h.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: Mm hmm mm hmm, yep, yep, yep. It's more organic
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: to you now, huh. It's it feels more organic to
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: you now. Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: M hm.
• 38:44
  Speaker 16: H m hmmm mm hm h m hmmm.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Ah oh four ye uh huh.
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: H mm hmm.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Well, h.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Definitely those are definitely stepping stones. That was a that
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: was a good you stepped back a little bit, but
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: you you did some good step forward, So that's awesome.
• 40:24
  Speaker 13: Who you kept it going?
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: How about you, Melissa?
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: So it's God is again. It's funny how my step
• 40:35
  Speaker 9: back is similar to Kelly and to Queen as well. Well,
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: it's like I hacked. I essentially hacked myself in some ways,
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: and so I I kind of got to a point
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: where I just like really became strong in my faith
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: and I didn't think I would actually do my business anymore.
• 41:01
  Speaker 9: So I actually shut everything down. I closed everything, and
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: I stopped doing my business for a whole year because
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: I thought, you know, I was going to do something else.
• 41:10
  Speaker 9: And then I just really felt strongly like, no, there's
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: people out there that you need to help. There's people
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: out there who just need to know that they their
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: message matters, you know, like they have something to say
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: and they should be heard. There's people out there waiting
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: to hear them. And so yeah, so essentially the same
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: thing too, I had like a bigger account. I shut
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: it down. But what happened was my business became an idol,
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: and I forgot who I was, And so it took
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: taking that step back and seeing like, is this really
• 41:49
  Speaker 9: what I'm called to do? Is this really what I
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: have in my heart to do? Is this what God's
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: been telling me? Is this what God's showing me? And
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: just being led back to Yeah, but this time it's
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: with him first of all. This time, I know who
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: I am, and I know that who I am is
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: more important than what I do, because like we said before,
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: there's so many people who are like strategists and coaches
• 42:13
  Speaker 9: and have all kinds of things, but nobody has our story,
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: nobody has our message, nobody has our experience, and our
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: life is a lesson for us, but it could be
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: life to somebody else. You know, our story, what the
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: things that we go through, the trials, the ups and downs.
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: It's like we're here to help each other. We're here.
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: We were created for community. We were created to help
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: each other, support each other. And the way that we
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: love each other is with our businesses and bringing people
• 42:45
  Speaker 9: up and making people you know, feel good or whatever
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: it is, whatever it is that we're called to do.
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: And so so now coming back it's like coming back
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: with a fresh perspective, coming back with love in my heart,
• 43:00
  Speaker 9: coming back with a desire really to help people, Like
• 43:04
  Speaker 9: my focus is not what can I get, but what
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: can I give? And and so that's that's like a
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: big that was like a big key for me. It
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: took a step back, but with God, you know, you
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: take one step, he takes two.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: So yeah, well that's awesome.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: And like I said, a lot of the setbacks were
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: actually set ups, it sounds like for all of you.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: And that's that's usually the floor plan to those who persist,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: those who actually step out on the dance floor. So
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: I really hope that helps some people who needed that motivation,
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: that extra push to kind of keep going. We did
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: learn with all of you that although weapons may form,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: they did not prosper. So but you're here to tell
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: that story because you kept going, yep. And I think
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: that that's something that we did gain from all of
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: you in this conversation is that you did have some
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: things that kind of pushed you back, but you kept
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: going and that's why you are here today to tell
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: this story. So we appreciate all of you and what
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: you have brought to the business table. And one thing
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: that I did like go ahead.
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry, Oh sorry, I was just gonna say a
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: setback is just a setup for a comeback.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: So.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got to be willing and have that
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: passion to come back so that he can work with that. So,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: like I said, I want to thank all of you
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: because I think one of the things that entrepreneurs need
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: to hear as far as how to be successful is
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: keep going, find your niche be unique.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Do you there are?
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: And like Queen pointed out, there are different there are
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: same occupations but different people doing it.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: So it's always gonna.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Be something different brought to the table about it if
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: you think about it, And that's what we're trying to do,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: and that's what bad to Business is about.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: Out.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: We've all come to the business table with different perspectives,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: but we all managed to find the same common ground.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: So if you think about a company, everybody's different and
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: they work for the same company and they all have
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: different perspectives. So just because you work for the same
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: company do the same thing. You all work in accounting,
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: but you all have a different way of doing something
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: and making that business thrive. So again, we just want
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: to thank you guys for coming on the show. I
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: see we've gone a little bit over time, but it
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: was well worth it. Well yes, I said, waiting took
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: this show. We've had some entrepreneurs that didn't get to join.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: But this is just volume one. We will follow up
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: with that and we'd love to do a follow up
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: show with.

• 45:46
  Speaker 3: maybe some follow up questions, and see how things have
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: changed in the market or with your business, or if
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: there's any way that you can reach out and help somebody,
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: that'd be great. What I love about you all, you entrepreneurs,
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: is that you have found a way or at somehow,
• 45:58
