  Speaker 5: So this is gonna be a fir. First of all,
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: you see this room. You've performed in front of thousands
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: of people before. But you've seen arenas pack for sports.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: You've seen arenas pack for comedy shows. You've seen arenas
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: packed to see celebrities talk about that movie. Have you
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: ever seen something like this for financial litters?
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't know.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: That we would ever get to this. You know, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: had hoped. You know, we'll pay a lot of money
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: for entertainment. We will pay top dollar to see our
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: favorite artists. But when it comes to invest it in yourself.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Back in the day, it just didn't happen like this.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: This is an amazing thing to see twelve thousand people,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you know, who are trying to invest in themselves. And
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the other impressive thing about it is so many young people.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: You know, it's a lot of young people.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: In here, man, And that's that's a great testament answer
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: where we're headed as a people. And what you two
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: brothers have accomplished in a very very short period of time.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: You feel the void that was so needed, that was
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: such a thirst for what you had, because young people
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: need information. They need information, man, and that's what you
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: all have managed to do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: So we about to have a powerful conversation.

• 6:06
  Speaker 5: So I want to start this conversation off with the
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: power of partnerships, the power of collaboration, and what better
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: way to start it than us, And first and foremost,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: I want to thank you because when we met you,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: it was a crazy connection that we had right away.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: We spent two hours talking before the podcast, two and
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: a half hours during the podcast, an hour after the podcast,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: so we spent like the whole day with him. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: at the end he was like, you know, I really
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: like you guys a lot, and we're gonna make a
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: lot of money together. And you know, I told Troy
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: that our lives would never be the same after that,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: and I just had that feeling. And it only took
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: a couple of months for you to honor your word
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: and to actually work with us. And this is the
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: first joint venture, hopefully of many more to come that
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: we've done. So I tell that story because it's important
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: to the power of collaboration, the power of seeing value
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: in something, the power and partnerships and the power of
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: understanding of working together. That's something that we have to
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: do more on every level, on a high level, on
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: a small level. Wherever you're at, You're only going to
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: go so far by yourself. So let me ask you this,
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: what made you want to work with us? What made you?
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: What did you see in us? And why did you
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: think that the you know, the value of collaborative efforts
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: are important.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Well, First of all, this generation of young people probably
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: our brightest collection of minds to come along since I've
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: been alive. Now I'm older than most people in here.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm sixty five, so I know, I know
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: it's I know you can't believe it because the pimp
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: just drips all the time. But you young people are
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the brightest generation to come along in my lifetime. If
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I don't invest in you, if I don't see you
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: too and be able to see something in you and invest,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I'm doing a discredit to the future of us, especially
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: people of color. It is important, man, that we take
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the time out to recognize the young people who are
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: gifted and willing to put into work.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: But then there's a I gotta give credit to YouTube too.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Because as smart as you are, as this younger generation,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: please don't discredit old people because old people have something. Man,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: old people paid to get to a spot that you're
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: trying to get to.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: See.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: You gotta remember something about old. Old is the gold.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: So why are you sitting up there and yo, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: the people may not be as tech savvy as you,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: they still have something to bring to the table. And
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I think they're joining together with young forces and then
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: putting the old head in the mix. I mean, look,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: this is not just causing me. You know, this is
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a collective effort of you and your team. But last
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: year was thirty five hundred people. This year you got
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: twelve thousand.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: You understand them numbers, man, Yeah, I think.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you're a generational talent. I knew you
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: from doing the Apollo. My son knows you, and my
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: daughter knows you from watching a family feud, and so
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: you've had trials and stipulations, but you've had success. When
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: we look at this, obviously we had forty five hundred
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: people last year, we got twelve thousand this year. People
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: would see this like, obviously this is successful from your viewpoint,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: from your illusturious career. What's the key to success though?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: How do we get it? How do we maintain it?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: How we sustain it? Well, here's what happens.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Because of Instagram now and social media. You see these
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: highlight reels of each other, and you see a person
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: showing their best bag, they best shoe, they best polls,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and it's usually on the best filter. What I wish
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the younger generation would pick up is the work ethic
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: that actually has to happen. See, the key to being
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: successful is planting. You've got to plant now. When you
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: plant seeds, young people, you can't expect the harvest in
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: thirty days. The harvest don't come in thirty days. You
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: got to plant your seed and sometimes the harvest don't
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: come for years. Everything is not instant. So here's what
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I do. I get a roll and I drop seeds
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: in the ground. Then I go back and I cover
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: them up with dirt, because the dirt you need the dirt.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Then once I cover it up, I dig another row
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and I plant some more seeds. I got about ten
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: rows planting. I look back at the first row and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: it's starting to sprout. Some stuff starting to come out
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: the ground. I don't go back to that first rope
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and just start eating because it ain't.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Really bearing no fruit right now.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: You can't eat the stalks and the leaves. You gotta
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: wait till it bear fruit. In the meantime, you got
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to keep planting. Now you're gonna look up in about
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: five years. You gonna look back in something you plant
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: it five years ago, gonna have a lot of fruit
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: on it. Then you can go back and start partaking
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: up that fruit. But the reason you gotta keep planting
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: is because sometimes you're gonna get rained out.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Sometimes it's gonna be a drought.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Sometimes, man, the pesticides slash haters is gonna do what
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: they do to your planet crops. Now you got to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: mentally be prepared for that. But the planting process can
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: never stop. If I could tell anybody anything, keep planting
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: seeds and never stop planning because you have no idea
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: when God gonna drop all the necessary rain.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: That you look up and everything you need is right there.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: So let me ask you this, because I feel like
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: there's a lesson in every story, and there's something that
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: you can take from every story and learn from every story.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: And sometimes what we think is reality isn't reality. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: it's important for people to know the truth. And it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: important for people to learn from other people's experiences because
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: they could potentially happen to you. Years ago, we had
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: a former president, Donald Trump, and it was very controversial
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: when you took a picture with him, and you got
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: a lot of backlash, a lot of hate, all kinds
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: of negative energy. But when we met you, you explained
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: to us the story. And when you explained to us
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: the story, it was so crazy because it just goes
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: to show you how something can be changed and the
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: narrative can be painted, and people just run with half
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: of what they see and they don't even understand it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Can you explain that infamous moment?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, if I listened to my wife,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: it wouldn't have been no infamous moment.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: First lesson, that's the first lesson number one.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: But here's what happened. Before he got sworn in.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: He had a point at being Carson to the head
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: of hood, and hood is housing and urban development. It's
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the only black on the cabinet. So I said, let
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: me go up there and meet Ben Carson. So when
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I got to Trump Towers, I went in, sat down
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to meet with him, and he said, why are you here.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I said, I want.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: To meet Ben Carson because I have an idea. He
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: got Ben Carson on the farm being Ben Carson talked
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: right away. I told him the idea I had. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: wanted to take some of these schools that they had
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: destroyed and shut down in black neighborhoods, and I wanted
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: to take them and turn them into what I call
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: vision centers, where we would create financial literacy after school programs,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: you know, and get these young cats off the streets
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: so they have something to do, and then give the
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: parents some financial literacy. He fell in love with the idea.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I leave the building. I'm on the elevator. Donald Trump said,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I'll ride down with you. I said, I beat damn.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: So he gets on the elevator. He riding down with him. Now,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: before I got on elevator, I told the reporters I'll
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: be back over and tell you why I'm here. I
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: walk up to the reporters. He walks in front of me.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: He the president to be right, So he walks in.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: Front of me. Now I'm standing there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: First word out his mouth was we gonna repeal and replace. Obamacare.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't say shit about that. I didn't mention none
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: of that. Again, Oh what you're talking about, man? You
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I'm sitting here going I'll beat
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: damn and all I heard was my wife going, don't.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Go up there yet.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: So when he left, I stood up and told the
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: reporters what the deal was.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: By the time I got to my car, because this.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Happened on my sixtieth birthday, was that weekend, my wife
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: had a nice trip for me. All I had to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: do was go get on that damn boat, like she said,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: That's all my ass had to do. But oh knew
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go up here for black people before I
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: got in the car. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: believe it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I was a coon, I was a jigaboo, I was
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a spook. I was an Uncle Tom. And that shit
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: hurt me to the core because all I do when
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I wake up is walk out the door as a
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: black man, to represent the black culture, to be something
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: that some young person can look at and go, yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I do it that way. My whole hustling grind has
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: been for black people, and so it kind of hurt me, man,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: and so.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: His fast forward.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Turns out the Vision Centers was the only initiative Ben
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Carson had his entire run. They changed the name of
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: it from Vision Centers to Vision Centers. You can go
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: online look them up. They opened up three of them.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: All the ideas I had given them they enabled it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Then they asked me to come take a picture with
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: being Carson in front of the schools, and I said nah,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: because y'all had ate my ass up so bad before,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: y'all ain't getting no more pictures of me.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: My family got attacked and all this here.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But that was a hurtful moment for me because I
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: went up there to get housing and benefit for black
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: people and then they turned on me like that, you know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: But I always know how to hang in there.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, I know, it's a lot of
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: hip hopcasts in here, but old school music still registers
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: very deep.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: In my soul. I'm an R and B guy.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: So there's a song that Temptations had out, and I
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: had to sing it to myself. I know you won't
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: to leave me, but I refuse to let you go
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: if I have to beg and plead for your sympathy.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I don't mind, because you mean that much to me.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: So I just hung in there with black people. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: just stayed in there with y'all, say asked, because I
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: knew eventually y'all was gonna have to get all right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Well, some of y'all didn't. It's cool, though, But.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I want to ask you about that because when you
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: reach levels of success, especially now, you're going to get
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: some level of hate online. You're gonna get some level
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: of hate on YouTube, You're gonna get critics, and it
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: has it has an effect on your on your psyche.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: So how would you how would you coach people through?
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: What advice would you give to the young people that
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: haven't experienced that yet. But they might be in sports,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: they might be in music, they might be entrepreneurs, they
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: might be online. At some point when that comes, what
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: do you do to just keep going.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because I was talking the Walk of Flock
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: backstage and he came up to me and said, hey, man,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: you don't know what you mean to me. I've never
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: met the brother before, and he was saying, you don't
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: know what you mean to me.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: He said, Man, I follow you. I listened to you. Man.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: He said, man, you changed from just a comedian to
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: a real man, and you made me start looking at
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: some things I want to do.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: And then we shook hands.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: He was fitting to walk away, and he turned around
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and he said, you know what else I like about you? Man?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: You ain't vengeful. You're not vengeful. And that kind of
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: stuck with me, so I said, how you mean? He said, man,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: you could come back at so many people, but I'll
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: never see you going out to attack people because I
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: learned a long time ago from a minister. He said,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: stay on the wall. When they throwing rocks at you,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: stay on the wall. If you come down off the
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: wall to address haters and small people, see they our
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: level with you.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Now they can throw the rocks and they hurt, But
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: if you just stay on the wall, what can they do.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: And you gotta understand some young people about haters. Haters
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: are not decision makers, power brokers, or shakers and movers.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: They have no determining factor on your life, where you
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: headed or what God planned for you. Stop giving haters power.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Stop it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Don't even talk to they ass I don't give it. Look, man,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I'm sixty five. I don't give a damn what you
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: say about me, You ain't. You're not stopping nothing. Look
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: what God has for you, It is yours. All God's
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: plans for you, his purpose. If you just open up
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: yourself to it, he gonna make all of them come true.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: But if you stop and keep addressing haters, you will
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: never be open to your purpose and your mission in life.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: So my directive is to stay on the wall when
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: they attack.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: Me for whatever.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I stay on the wall because they do it all
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: the time, man, especially people.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: I thought I was cool with other celebrities.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: You know, they got little stuff to say, But then
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I look at their career.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: And they have time to say little stuff. They have time.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: See me, let me tell you something, man. People is busy.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: They ain't got time. Denzel ain't got time talk about me,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Matgic Johnson ain't got time talking about Tyler Perry. Ain't
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: got time talk about me because they building their empire.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Man. Let me tell you something, man.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: One time I was fit to respond to something on
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: the blog, Tyler Perry called me and said, hey, man,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: what you getting ready to do? I said, I'm going
• 21:42

• 21:52
  Speaker 3: to me, Steve. When they talk about you, it's a blog.

  Speaker 3: If you open your mouth, it's a press. Confidence.

  Speaker 3: So I say to all people out there, know who
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: you are and know where God taking you.
• 22:07

• 23:49
  Speaker 3: It was crazy because I'm a really, really bright person.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: I really am. I've been on TV a long time.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I'm going how to read.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I read very well, and better than reading,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I listened extremely well. The teleprompter said, and the new
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: two thy fifteen Miss.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Universe is now.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I got an IFB in my ear, I got two
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: names on the car I got a third name. The
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: lady used to work for the pageant when Donald Trump
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: owned it, decided she didn't want to do it like that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: That night, she.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Put the third name on the corner of the car well.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: They handed me the card. My thumb covered a third name,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: but which is irrelevant anyway, because the teleprompter said, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: the new twenty and fifteen Miss Universe is the IBF
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: director said, read the second name on the card.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: Steve.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: Okay, fuck miss Columbia, Miss Columbia, great job, Steve, going
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: the back.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: I go in the back.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I'm in the back for two minutes. My boy that
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: worked for me stage managine. He said, Yo, dog, you
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: said the wrong name. I said, I ain't said shit wrong. Fuck,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I say the wrong name.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Fuck.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I read the name on the card, and I did
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: what the director told me to do, he said, Man.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: So I got up and I started walking back out front.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: The director said, what are you doing? I said, I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: gonna go out here and give it to the right one.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: He said, don't worry about it with straighten it out
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: tomorrow in the paper.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Well that's that ain't right.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: So I took my dumb ass out there and said
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I made a mistake when in actuality, the lady that
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: printed the card should have never put a third name
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: on the card because that's not how we rehearsed it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And the teleprompter should have never said what he said,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: and the director should have.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Never told me what he told me. But I took
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: the whole bullet.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Now, behind every moment of adversity in your life is
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: two things. Behind that, there is a lesson and there
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: is a blessing. You got to wait to get both
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: of those. But if you let the moment of adversity
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: define you and destroy you and make you crumble, you
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: never are available for the lesson or the blessing. So
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the next week, I've been in the house for a
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: week and my wife will tell you we have twenty
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: four hour armed girl guards at our house year round,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: every since twenty fifteen, because them Colombian's man, oh they
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: was coming for me? They asked, was serious? The death
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: threats was real? Them damn Colombians. Man shit, I quit
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: drinking Colombian coffee.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: He had my ass concerned.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: So even to this day, we're in twenty twenty two,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I still have full time armed security around my homes
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: because they threatened my family.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Now you can't threaten my family. Dog. You could threaten me,
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: but you can't come for them.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not that dude. I try to be a Christian,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: but I just I ain't there yet. I'm an entry
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: level Christian. I don't really know how to do advance Christianity.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm ever gonna be good at advanced
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Christianity because if you slap me, I'm not turning the
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: other cheek. I just need to let your asks know
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: that now. And if you cuss me, I'm finna cuss you.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: That's how this is working. But you need Christians like me.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: You know that ain't all the way in. You need
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: a Christian that are backhand your ass, that are you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: bust your time, So.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: I would.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't address it until I was able to have
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Miss Columbia come on my talk show, and that was
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the only time I dressed it, and she couldn't come
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: until February, but then the Super Bowl came about.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Now let me give you one another story.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: After I made the announcement the wrong name, I had
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: been praying to God to increase my global brand in
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: persona right. I wanted God to make me more globally famous,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: because I saw myself becoming a global business man after
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: the Miss Universe fiasco. Within forty eight hours, my name
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: had been googled four billion times. I was the most
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: google subject in the world for forty eight hours. God
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: had increased my global brand and persona, and I showed
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: it and appreciate the way he did it either. I
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: thought that was pretty funky. Lord just thought I'd say that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Didn't really appreciate that. But after that we started getting
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: letters from other countries inviting me and my wife to
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: vacation homes. They gave us thirteen villas all around the world.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: We can come vacation anytime. We won't.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: And then T Mobile came along and said we'd like
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to take your mistake and turn it into good And
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I said how so they said, we want you to
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: do a T Mobile commercial. I said, well, that's interesting.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: How much does that pay? So I did the T
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Mobile commercial. I don't give a damn if we do
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: a whole reenactment of that night.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: The money they paid me so young people.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: The lesson I learned from that was, even in some
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: of your darkest moments, when you make mistakes, you have
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: got to stick around for the two things that the
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: mistake is made for, every failure is made for, every
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: misstep is made for. It is made for a lesson
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: and a blessing. Them two things follow every single one
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: of them. Every single time. God don't send down rain
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: without a return. When he send down rain, flowers grow,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: trees get bigger. You got to understand what the rain
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: and the dirt is for. People get so angry when
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: people start throwing dirt on you, Man, quit tripping.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: Dirt is fertilizer.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: If you ever want to be something, you're gonna have
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: to get some dirt on you. Because that dirt that
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: smothers you, it teaches you how to push through. You
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: ain't finna have no smooth life. You can get that
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: out your mind. It ain't fit to be rosy for you.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: By defendity, just come up to you hand.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: You know damn money. By here you feel like being
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: a millionaire. Here.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: You got to strike out to be successful. And when
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: you strike out, you got to get ready for it
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: to get real funky and real hard, because that's what's
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: gonna happen.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: That's why it ain't for everybody.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: But that's why all these people sitting in here are
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: so valuable. You've invested in learning some traits and I look,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I could tell you a lot of stuff, but there's
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: nothing more important than to mental. To master the mental
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: aspect of success. I don't give a damn what degree
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: you got. Degrees don't make money. People make money.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: Degree.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Look Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg ain't got a degree
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: between the two of them, but they got more degrees
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: working for him. You saw that little dude came out
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: here thirty years old. He graduated magnum kun Lottie at mohow.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I ain't graduated from nothing. He had a full point Oh,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: he said, miss Harvey, what was your grade point in school?
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I said, I had a full point on. He said, wow,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: you had a full point on high school. I said, yeah,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: when you total all three years.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Shit. I was struggling, man.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: But if you're in here and you're investing in yourself,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: that's the beginning of it, because you've got to get
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: the mental together.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: This thing that's going on inside your head is the
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: whole determining factor. Man, don't nothing else matter. So I
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: could tell you everything until you believe it. We wasting time.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: If you don't believe yourself can be rich, why don't
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: you get them?
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Go home.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: If you don't believe you can have two houses, just
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: get upm and go home. If you don't believe that
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: you should have the life of your dreams, get up
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: and go home. If you don't think God is real,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: get up and go home. Get you I give you
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: your money back?
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: How much was it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: We're gonna retract that statement because we're not giving no
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: damn money back. Let's just be clear about that. My
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: bad dog, I forgot I had invested. I'm sorry.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Retract that from the courts records, but also the lesson
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: and the blessing. From a business standpoint, it also helped
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: you get a better deal from this universe too.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, see I can say it now because the
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: stocks are vetted. After the mishap, I said I didn't
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: want to do it no more because I was put
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: out on Front Street and they left me out there
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: to dry. Didn't nobody volunteer and say it was my fault,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: tele prompted, didn't step forward to direct, the damn show,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: didn't come forward. So I said, I ain't doing it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: So they said, well, suppose we play you double? I said,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I still ain't in it. They said, suppose we play
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: you triple. I said, I still ain't gonna do it.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: He said, mister Harvey will pay you millions to come
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: back and do that. I said, I'm still not gonna
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: do it. They said, what do you want? I said, ownership?
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: So now our own miss universe, Miss USA, talk to us,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: say let the church say, man talk better, praise him.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: You better throw some water on somebody. H I said,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: you gotta. We have a lot of entrepreneurs in here.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Put your hands up. If you have your own business
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: right now? Well a lot Look at this, my God,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: A lot of entrepreneurs in him. A lot of times
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: people say, don't don't you know, don't start companies with
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: your family or your friends. And sometimes it can be beneficial,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: but sometimes it can. You vested with one of your friends.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: So can we talk about that experience? There was was
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: a late Tex company and the timing of it, obviously
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: investing with your fans, and what you learn from that
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: investment because obviously it didn't work.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Out, right, I'll let you tell a story.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: But the lessons that I learned from going through something like.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: That and how it changes you. Right, do you.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Well, the friend and I invested with he's passed now,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: and I did it because we were friends. If it
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: had worked, it would have been more life changing for
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: him than for me, you know what I'm saying. And sometimes, man,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: you do things when you get on the other side
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: of the money trail where you can start investing instead
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: of hustling for every dollar, You're going to make mistakes
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: in investing. You're going to make some major mistakes. Again,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: had I listened to somebody that I sleep with, I
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have done this.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: And one thing about my girl.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Man pretty much forewarned me about everything I've went on
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: and done anyway, But I felt good about the investment.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: But the investment didn't pan out at all. And it
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: was a late tax glove plant that we bought down there,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: you follow Alabama. I bought it and then we hired
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: the wrong people and they messed up the moles and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: all this here, which was crazy because a few years later,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: here come COVID and now as a shortage of late
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: tax gloves. Now I got the plant down here that's
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: supposed to be making late tax gloves. But we didn't
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: hide the wrong people and they broke all the moles
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and it just never panned out. The thing I learned
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: from that the way I invest. Now, Look, I appreciate
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you being my friend, I appreciate you.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: Being my family. But I got to do my due diligence.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Now, I got a whole team of people that do research,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: that study, that look at the analytics of it, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: do a lot of background check it. And then if
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: it's good, you know, I might I might have some
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: money to invest. Now, I'm not gonna give you no
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: life change in money, But like I try to tell
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: young people all the time, when you meet somebody that's successful,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: quit asking for money.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: Ask for information.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: See if money is like me giving you a fish sandwich,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: information is teaching you how to fish. There's a major
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: difference in that. And rich people used to people asking
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: them for money, so they got all kinds of ways
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: of playing your ass off. You know that time somebody come, well,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: hey man, let me holler at you. What let me
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: holler at you?
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: You sound like a relative trying to borrow twenty Now
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: you got a business proposal.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Do your due diligence when investing, do some re search
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: and lose the most useless. I want you to lose
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: the most useless emotion ever created, and it's called guilt.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Stop feeling guilty, man. Guilt serves no person, no purpose
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: itself for the person that's trying to make you feel guilty,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: and that's all to manipulate you so they can get
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: what they want. I've lost all my guilt. You can
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: think what you want to think about me. I don't
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: give a damn. I'm not guilty about nothing. Why am
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: I guilty? Because your ass is pope? I was pope
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: for thirty eight years. I got my first car in
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: my name when I was thirty eight. Now you said
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: them in here thirty ernest?
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: What's up? You ever walk into a small business.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: And everything just works like the checkout is fast, or
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: seats of digital tipping is a breeze, and you're out

  Speaker 3: person I'm gonna make it for is me, and I'm
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: gonna probably make about thirteen of them for I tell
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: anybody how to do it. And he come up to
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: me talking about you don't want to make twenty twenty
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: million dollars?
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Boy, this pining? This guy? You know I know how.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: I tell my kids all the time, it take a
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: long time to make a lot of money. Get off
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: insta ground that car. You don't know how close that
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: car is to be and repolled.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: Get off Instagram. That ain't even ay car.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Look in the background, gimm a street signs? Who parks
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: they car in front of street signs? Rich people got
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: y'all in courtyards and ain't nobody got their card on
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: the street taking a picture on the damn sidewalk. But
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: you see that and you get caught up in it, y'all.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: It take a long time make a lot of money.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Look at everybody that's really got a lot of money.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Now if you want to use that one example of
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Kanye got this, and Kanye got that, and.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: Somebody got this and that.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: That's some exceptions, but chances off you being that exception
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: is rare. Buckle up, knuckle down, get ready for the
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: grind and going to make your dreams come true and
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: enjoy the process.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: So let me let me ask you this. The last
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: time we spoke, you couldn't really talk because the show
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: didn't come out yet, but you was very enthusiastic about
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: your Judge show, which is a hit. Congratulations that yeahang
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: last every day thing. But there's a business lesson behind
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: that as well, because you said that was the first
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: show where you have like complete ownership of and you
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: said that that was the one that's gonna take you
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: out of here. And it's crazy because it's like, you know,
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: you had all of these other shows and Steve Harvey Show,
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: but you never had ownership in that. So why was
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: it important for you to have ownership? And what's the
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: dynamics of the Judge Show as opposed to the other
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: shows that you had?
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: In the best see the Steve Harvey Show.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: It was me and said entertainer Wendy Rakale and Terry
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: and Maryland Santana Will Scott.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: This was a show that ABC had created. So I
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: came along. I was just coming out of homelessness. Man.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: I was just, man, y'all gonna pay me? How much
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: my first TV show? They gave me seventy five thousand
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: dollars every Thursday, I'm signing. I'm I ain't got no money.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I'm signing could every time they pay I was crying.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe this man didn't know nothing about no business.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Then I got another show and I had I had
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: twelve percent, but it was after AMRG and all that,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: and by the time they get through doing their math,
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: I never saw money on that Family Feud is my
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: biggest product, but it was owned by six families Denmar Freemantle,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: so all I could do with Family Feud was make money.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: I ain't complaining because I'm you know, I'm doing well.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: But and then you look at Little Big Shots. I
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: add a third of that. But that's a whole nother story.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: The way NBC tried to play me, they thought they
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: was gonna ruin my whole career by getting rid of
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: the Little Big Shots and Steve Harvey Talk show at
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: the same time. That's okay. They didn't know what God
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: was fit to do, so I let him go ahead
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: do that. Go ahead, said that's another You got to
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: learn when somebody closed the door in your face, stop
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: standing at the door beating on it. The reason the
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: door closes is because God wants you to walk up
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: the hall.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: It's some more.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Does he got a bigger door, a better dough with
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: most stuff in it.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: Stop beating on doors and go up the hall. So
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: that's neither there. You know there.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: But when the Judge Show came up, I was out
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: at Tyler Perry Studios shooting a family feud on my
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Facebook watch show, and ABC asked for a meeting and
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: they had thirteen thirteen executives on a zoom call, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: that's unheard of. I had the president of the network,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: the head of comedy development, the head of writers, and
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I had a dude on there from all these other departments,
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: and then the dude from business affairs was on the phone.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute, that's the dude that cut the deal.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: So I knew this was about business. So they pitched
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: me to do a sitcom on the ABC and they
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: went through this whole thirty minutes about pitching this sitcom
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: and when they got through, I said, I don't want
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: to do that, and they went, what, No, We're going
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: to greenlight the show, mister Harvey, and we want you
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: to start in it and we'll give you a full season.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: I said, I don't want to do that. They said, why,
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: I don't want to work like that?
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: No more. And only sitcom I've enjoyed was when me
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: and said was on TV together. That was my best friend.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: We made money and we enjoyed working together. Kings of
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Comedy was at the same time, so we were just
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: we was clocking it back then and we was having fun.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: So they said, well, what do you want to do.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: I said, well, I've been thinking about this idea for
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: about twelve years, and they said, what is it? I said,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I want to be a judge on TV. Now, everybody
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: supposed to be on mute, right, but this white dude
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: he didn't put his zoom on. And when I said
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: I want to be a judge, he said, is this
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: guy even a fucking lawyer?
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: The fuck is he talking about? He's said the shit
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: on the zoom? I was bet.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: I was bent over laugh the funniest shit I've ever heard.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: I was knocking shit over laugh because that's a real,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: real comment. Because he don't work with the company no more.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Because I was the only one thought it was funny,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: the president of ABC went, I want to know who
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: said that? So she said, So we got to talking
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: about it, and then about an hour to the conversation,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: the guy from Comedy Development says, well, what makes you
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: think you could be a judge on TV? I said, shit,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump was president, y'all, let his ass be president.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: How the hell I can't be a judge on TV?
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: They said, let us think about it. The next day
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: they called my lawyer brand and it said, we're green
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: lighting the show. We'll give him a full season right now.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: I said, hold on, not so fast. I say, I
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: want to own the IP. I want to own advertising rights.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I want executive producer credits, I want hosting credits, and
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: I want my contract drawn up.
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: Every single time.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: ABC get a check, I get the same check. I
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: don't want the other check. Well, Steve, you're gonna get
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: paid for hosting and executive producing, and you're gonna get
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: your IP check and created by I'm gonna get all that.
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: I got that.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: But when y'all get that advertising dollars, whatever check you
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: cut to yourself, you got to cut that chance.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: Same check to me. Well, Steve, that's fifty fifty.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you want to look at it,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: not really sure, but we're gonna put it on paper.
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Do you know.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: I did a whole season still with no contract because
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: they just can't bring theirself to side. But now the
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: show is a hit. It's the number one show on
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: ABC for the night. So now what you're going You
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: can't walk away from the hit. So now they just
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: presented the contract last.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Week to my lawyer.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: And so this is the first time, after all these
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: years that I own something completely and totally, and uh,
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: that's the one. Me and Marjorie gone, we're gonna ride
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: out of here. And I know my kids as a
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: hold on, I know a lot of my kids is
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: here listening. And I just said, me and your mama
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: gonna ride out on this don't count shit.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: I just want to be clear about it that.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: You brought up ownership and you can edit out the
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: cussing because I got too comfortable.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: You brought up ownership and you spoke about family feud,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: and last we spoke, we were talking about how you've
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: created family feud in South Africa and you're trying to
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: expand it to other countries.
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: Can you talk.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: About the importance of investing in Africa and the infrastructure
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: and how for the future that's where we need to
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: be doing because we try to preach it, and I
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: feel like people are still looking at as the old perspective,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: not knowing that when we go there and we highlight
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: the great things that are going on, we have an
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: opportunity to change the perspective and actually build this gold
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: content that we know it is.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: You know what I had to do was I went
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: to Family Feud and I bought the international rights to
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: family feud. That way I could own something because I
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: can't own the family feud. But I was told by everybody,
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: nobody shoots TV in Africa.
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: It just won't work.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: They don't have the bandwidth, they don't have the capabilities.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: They just they don't have that Hollywood dust.
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: And that's true.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Nobody has the Hollywood dust like Hollywood. See what you
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: all got to understand. The majority of shows you see
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: over here is hit shows. They buy the format at
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: the MIP conference, they bring it back to America, change
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: the name of it, put that Hollywood dust on it,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: make it a hit, and then sell it back to them.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Oh these white folks, Oh they they're incredible. It's the
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: most amazing thing that really to just clap for their ass.
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: They buy from.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Them, fix it, dust it all, sprinkle it and say
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: it back to there, and they buy it. America got
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: talent man, all that voice, all that.
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: That ain't from here. They bought that.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: But nobody does TV bigger than them. So they kept
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: telling me they don't have it. Well, nobody does. But
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: what they kept pushing was these African people, they can't
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: make this set. They don't know enough about lighting, they
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: don't have competent camera people. They are so one hundred
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: percent wrong. Them Africans got everything.
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: They got everything. They got the band with, they.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Got the talent, they got the grips, they know how
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: to light. Let me tell you something, man, if you
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: look at the Family Feud Africa clips, it is colder
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: than the clips I walk out on every day.
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: The Africa set is better.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: They hard workers, they get it, man, it's just nobody
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: believed in them. Now you can go over there and
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: you can make TV a lot more reasonable, but you're
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: gonna have to come see me because I've created a
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: company that ain't gonna let your ass go over there
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: without seeing me. So in case you think you finish,
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: go over there and pimped the game, not gonna happen.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. You can go over there, but it
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: still ain't gonna happen, no man. But it took a
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: year to figure it out, and then the second year
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: became noticeably better. But we took a show that they
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: said you cannot do and turn it into the number
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: one show in both countries, South Africa and Ghana. We
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: only shot it into countries. It's a number one show,
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: but Africa is a place. You all understand something. See
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: they keeping us away from each other and COVID hit
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: and I was just about to do a deal with
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: South African Air to bring African Americans first of all
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: to Ghana because you have to go see the slave castles.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Every black person living should go to Ghana and see
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: them slave castles, so you can see what they did
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: to us. You got to see what they did to us.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: You got to see how they built these dungeons underground,
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: and they put these churches on top, and they dug
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: holes in the ground to pump the music or they
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: what they call they Christianity into the holes.
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: While man, they did, let me explain some of y'all.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: They walk them as far as they can.
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: First to make them lose weight. They put them in
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: a room.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: Then they cut a door, and after you've been in
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: this room in two weeks, they walk you through this door.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: If you lose the right amount of weight, you fit
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: through the door. If you don't fit through the door,
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: you got to stay in this room right here. Then
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: you in this room for another week. That make you
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: lose some more weight, then you fit through another door.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: If you can't fit through the door, you ain't lost
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: enough weight. You got to go through four doors like
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: that before you go through the door of no return.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: And they steady sitting up there talking about Jesus. Jesus,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: me and my wife, we wouldn't even go in they church.
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Not going in this hell bound church. You said, if
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: you're talking about Jesus, and you'd have done this to
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: us under this ground like this.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: Hey man, let me explain something to y'all. What was
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: done to us is unthinkable.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: For us to be sitting here alive and thriving is
• 55:44

  Speaker 3: That's why they keep our prisons filled with our brothers
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: and sisters.
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: Because they know it.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: That's why see I'm on something else now, But let
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: me just tell you the truth. So here's the problem.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: That's why the tax system will never change. So if
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: you live in a poor neighborhood, they can't pay as
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: much taxes as the neighborhood in the suburbs. When they
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: get the money into the state to allocate the money
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: for education and facilities back to the pacers who played
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: the most tax we ain't gonna ever pay the most
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: taxes because they ain't gonna let the property values be
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: worth a damn and they're gonna keep us in a circle.
• 58:07
  Speaker 6: And that's why they.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: Got to keep us like that, because they know when
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: we slip through the cracks on they ass we do much.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: When you go to Mohouse and Spelman and Howard and
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: Tennessee and Prairie View and Southern and you go out
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: there and you become doctors and lawyers, they know who
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: you are.
• 58:27
  Speaker 6: You more.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: I met a brother today that's ahead of diversity for Nike.
• 58:32
  Speaker 6: How he get there? How y'all get in here?
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: Because it is thing that's in you that won't let
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: you lay down and die. Because when they incarcerate your
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: daddy and oh oh, and then and that's the other thing.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: So now, since you live in this certain neighborhood. You
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: on welfare, we'll give you a check. But a man
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: can't live in the house. Oh, I'll be damn So.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: Now that don't promote families.
• 58:59
  Speaker 6: Does it.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: So now we live in these fractured societies and we
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: keep trying to make something out of nothing. But we
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: keep showing up though, we keep showing up, And y'all
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: got to keep on showing up because we it. Man,
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie to you. We it, We them people,
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: We them people. If we're gonna if we're gonna keep coming,
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna keep coming in here, damn thing.
• 59:24
  Speaker 6: You can do about it.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: Ship, I got mad, now gone. I don't even smoke.
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: You know, I ain't never hed weed in my life, man,
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: I ain't never heard it.
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: I know some people, huh, I said, I do not
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: know some people leisurely. So, while we're on the International Vibe,
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: during our legendary episode, we spoke about your relationship with
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: the uae Abu Dhabi, but we never actually spoke about
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: how that relationship started. And I think it's an interesting story.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: Can you talk about how you became so revered in
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: the Middle East and how you've built such good relationships
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: with the royal family over there.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, it just comes down to respect.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: You can't believe the propaganda that people say about other places.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: You think the Middle East is everybody walking out in
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: the courtyard, pulling cords, blowing up stuff.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: That's the ones they show you.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: You ever been to the UA, You ever been to
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: a place that's got zero point six percent crime? You
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: ever been to a place where the last car that
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: was stolen in Dubai was thirty years ago? You ever
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: been to the Abu Dhabi where they've never had a
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: stolen car. There are no bank robberies, there are no murders,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: there's no hold ups. Now, you can't come over there
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: smoking no weed. Don't do it. Don't do it, be
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: your last stick. But if you go over there and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: respect what they have. I just enjoy going to a
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: place that has that much peace in it that I
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: can walk somewhere and ain't nobody gonna jack me. So
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: as my family started going over there twelve years ago,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: I guess around twelve years ago it was just to visit.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: And then I was over there and I kept coming
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: so much. They cause why do you come here?
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: You like it? I said, and I respect it.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: Then I sat down and I met a lot of
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: the Muslims, and once I understood what Islam was, and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: I'm a Christian, I'm not changing my faith. My faith
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: been working for me. But I have the sense to
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: respect another faith. Islam is good. Islam is about peace
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: and love. Islam is about respect.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: You gotta let them have at You ain't God.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: You ain't got no heaven for nobody. You can't pass
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: no judgment. The people got something going on over there.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: So I just started learning myself more and more about
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: how they were.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: And then I was over there shooting.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: They asked me to do something in Dubai for the UAE,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: to do a promotional film, and you know I did.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: It wasn't what I wanted to make, but I was
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: over there like him, and my wife and I were
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: sitting there outside the louver and a car pulled up
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: and said, His Highness would like to see Steve Harvey. Well,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: let's shut the whole set down. I'm in a car
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: and I go visit him. And the way I met
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: him originally though, was we were at Formula one and
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite pictures is he was pinning me
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: and the guy wanted me to go meet him, and
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: the people lined up to see this man, and I
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: didn't know much about him.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: I said, now, I don't want to bother the man.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 6: He said no.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: So the ambassador from the United States walked me up
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: to him and I got ready to introduce myself. I said,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: how you doing, sir, My name is Steve Harvey. I'm
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: from the United States. He said, I know exactly who
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: you are. He said, your story is incredible. He told
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: me I was homeless. He told me he couldn't believe
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: how I, as a black man in this country, had
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: risen from the dirt to where I was.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 6: He told that to me.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Now I'm standing up here, you know me, I'm crying
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: because I'm sitered. I can't believe this dude's even talking
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: to me. And that's how it started, and then it
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: just evolved from there.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: And this man is.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: One of the kindest men that has power that I've
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: ever seen, the way he treats his people.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 6: Look, there have a.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: Monarchy, right, and you think, well, listen, but then hey,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: they got a monarchy in England too.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: But guess what he take care of his people.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: Ain't don't want for nothing, ain't no crime, ain't no homelessness,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: ain't no unemployment.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 6: If you ain't working in the UAE is because you
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: don't want a job.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Everybody over there got jobs and he takes care of
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: their people and.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: His kindness is overwhelming.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: And I tied it to Africa because he knew in
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Boswana that I had a relationship with Boswana. When COVID
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: first hit, Botswana had put in an order to China
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: and the Chinese just took their money, told them since
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: they was inland, they couldn't deliver them no pp E supplies,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: ppete whatever that.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: Is, mask and all that.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: So I called up the government of UAE, said, man,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: can you help? These people were gonna lose a whole country,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: BOSWANAE but two and a half million people. They was
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: over there losing people. I said, man, we got to
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: get them some supplies. They got the ruler on the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: phone and he told me not to tell it. He said,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: I want this to be from USTe. This is how
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: he is. He put two cargo planes loaded with seven
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: tons of pp supplies, flew him from Abu Dhabi, landed
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: in in Barswana and gave it to him for zero.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: He didn't charge them one single quarter. Now, what ruler
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: you know do that? What ruler does that man cares
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: about another group of people, and he says, Steve, this
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: is from you, you and your wife.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: So we got on Facebook. We did the zoom with them.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: They thanked us and everything. But I couldn't just keep
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: taking credit for that. I don't even know where to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: get seven tons or nothing, So let me quit.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 6: Playing this out like his meat.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: No man, it was this man whose brother recently passed
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: and now he's the president of the UAE and one
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: of the most powerful men in the world. And when
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: I tell you power because they got oil. They got oil.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: But when you meet these people, they are the kindest,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: most sincere people I've ever been around ever.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 6: And I would stand up and say that about this man.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: Anywhere I go in the world, I wouldn't care who
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: didn't like it. Forget everything you've ever heard. After you
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: go to Africa, you got to go to Ghana first.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Then you need to go to Boswana because you need
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: to see what we Boswana is the second richest diamond
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: producer nation in the world. Them black people over that
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: got something. And then you got to go to Johannes
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: Bird that's what you got. You got to do that
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: jump right there. Once you see that, you'll understand who
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: we are. Them Africans ain't stolen nothing from us. They
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: talk about Burner Boy stole this. No, we stole from
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: Burner Boy. Them Africans is us many. They the beat,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: They the rhythm, They the soul, they the hard work.

• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: like us. It's just you gotta see it, and we
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: gotta My goal is to help bridge this gap because
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: we got to touch base with them, because they love y'all. Man,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: you don't even know. They thank y'all that catch me out.

• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, you're welcome.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: And I was doing my mintering camp down there for
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: three years and it was such a beautiful place, man,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: one thousand, six hundred acres And when I tell you, man,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: oh my goodness, Oh, it's incredibly beautiful.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: And a few years ago.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: I was down there doing the camp and I approached
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: him about buying, you know, a couple hundred acres if
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: I could just get a couple hundred acres, And it didn't.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 6: Work out at the time.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: But see, God, let me tell you something, man, I
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: don't care what your plan is. God playing way cold
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: in your plan. So he didn't let the two hundred
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: acres go down. So what he was doing was setting
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: it up that I didn't know about.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 6: So Marjorie and.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: I bought months back. We bought the whole thing, the
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: whole sixteen hundred acres, and we changed the name of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: it from the Rock Ranch to the Steven Marjorie Harvey
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Legacy Ranch. That's the theme that Marjorie and I are
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: gonna hang our hat on. So let me tell you
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: what we want to do. We've already started the process.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: We're zoning meetings down there. We're taking this property and
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: we're leasing it to our foundation for one dollar. Because
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: the foundation don't need that hit. We took the money ourselves.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: We leasened it to our foundation for one dollar. We
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: have the plans to build dormitories that sleeps three hundred
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: and fifty boys or girls. We already know we can't
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: bring them together. We figured that out. They have to
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: come separately. I ain't going to be explaining this to nobody,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: Mom and all this hell. The boys and girls come separately.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: We're building dormitories.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: We're building a STEM center to teach STEM.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: We're building an East Sports complex. We're building gymnasiums.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: We're building a.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: Division one weight class weight room.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: We're building a.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: Seven hundred Cet Theater to teach and show presentations in.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: We're building a brand new dining hall facility that's gonna
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: cost a lot of money. Do we have that money now?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, man, that's the other thing I learned.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: You know, when God tell you to do something, you
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: got to do it. See, the how too ain't really
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: your business. And that's what really messes a lot of
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: people up. You get it something in your imagination or
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: something you start dreaming about, and then you start figuring
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: out the how too. Well, I got news for you.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: The how too ain't none of your business. The how
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: to is up to God. You got to be willing
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: to do the work and put in the faith. See,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: that's really all it is. I know a lot of
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: people got educated broke as hell, so I've already figured
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: it out. It ain't your education. As a matter of fact,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: education ain't even in the Bible. They ain't never mentioned
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Emory in the Bible. They got no scriptures about harved Yell.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: It's not more.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: House ain't even in the Bible. As much as you
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: like it to be, it's not in there. But you
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: know what's in that old dreams visions a man without
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: a dream or vision shall perish.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: It don't say a man without education with parish.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: So quit worrying about if you don't have the education,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: if you don't have all the credentials.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: You need the vision, and you got to be ready
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: to work.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: And look, man, when God puts something in your imagination,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: when you put it in your heart, you got to
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: go for it. I was talking to you before the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: thing started. You know the hardest thing to get people
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: about success.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: The hardest thing is to start. Start. Man.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Most people are frozen with fear, and you frozen with
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: the how too. You can't figure out how to make
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: a million dollars, so you never start. You ain't got
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: to know how to make a million dollars? Who told
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: you that you got to start?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 6: Man? You got to take a leap of faith.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: Quitn't tripping yourself out of the blessing because you're worrying
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: about the how too. God ain't nowhere in the Bible
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: told you to figure it out. He say, ask, believe, receive.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: Then he said faith with our works is dead. You
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: ain't got to know the whole Bible. I don't know
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: but six scriptures. I think I'd have done all six

• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: go to Holy Rock or Mountgive a Lot Baptist Church.
