Dangerous Solutions: Strategies & Dialogue of Mental Masters & Warriors 19 KEYS Ft Dame Dash

it feels good to be independent it's priceless you know it feels good to help the people you love and not have to ask it feels good to be able to link up and be a rock star without saying anything that's going to hurt our culture because I know how to make money with hurting our culture I've done it and karmically has kicked me in the ass um you know to even watch the 19 Keys like yo I I I've been on stage and seen him in the audience and now I'm on stage with them you know I'm looking for more partners I'm not looking for soldiers I'm looking for generals and I'm willing to bet it all because that's what I've done and I've done it in real time in front of everybody it's not embarrassing to bet on what you love to stand unapologetically behind with what makes you feel good and also you know good taste is cheap where other people can't pay for it and it transcends every Dimension and vertical of Who You Are so what was the question [Applause] somewhere in there you answered it I appreciate my pops [Music] according to a man and ultimately back into the United States of being the two of God he asked God's supposed to always move with that higher self that I had to be able to execute it having knowledge is not power to execution or knowledge is power knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave because the only real knowledge you can get is knowledge of self [Music] the highest level is power the highest level is sovereignty the highest level is higher Consciousness the highest level is but we own our own very high level not I love it I highlight that it's time for a high level conversation for another high level another high level conversation tapped in with the guide we at low level we at high level we at low level we at high level coming to Oakland it's different like going anywhere else on the planet Earth but this is what made me right here when you from Oakland or you're from the Bay Area periods you got a different level of Consciousness for me I'm all about taking this off so that we get to the highest level because we only dangerous if we work together if you're controlled by what you see you're low level a high level Observer controls what they see I apply to meaning we have to get to this point where we have complete autonomy and Power and most of the things that we do we're being controlled by it but you just not thinking about it intentionally on a daily basis coming to Oakland it's different like going anywhere else on the planet Earth you know this is what made me right here when you're from Oakland or you're from the Bay Area period you got a different level of consciousness even if you're not really into it as far as your display you know it because your environment soaks you in it so people who come from Oakland got a different type of game I know everybody in here understands right but the thing about game is you have to refine it in order to be able to get to your highest level otherwise you can be stuck by your environment because the game that you get if that's what made the environment in your environment ain't the highest level then you don't have the game to get to the highest level so we have to learn how to get game outside of our environment that they don't teach us and so what I've been trying to do on my journey is Elevate the environments that we live in by importing the right type of game that we need to play the game of life I don't think that our generation fully understands the idea of freedom anymore I'm talking about from what I learned the idea of what Freedom meant Growing Up to Me Freedom was power it makes you control things it means you control your environment your schooling your education it makes you control the grocery stores who feed you you can't be against the person who feeds you you can't have power this generation is all about getting their freedom from their sexual identity rather than wealth and control so coming to Oakland I was reading something about Huey P Newton and he had this concept about revolutionary suicide and he talked about the idea that a lot of people live circumstances going against their oppression and they have reactionary suicide versus revolutionary suicide is fighting for your freedom against oppressors where you end up dying it's not that you suicidal it's that you no longer fear death and we at this point right now where you have to make a choice because there's too many people who die while I live in how many of you all know somebody that's a shell of who they used to be mentally spiritually they was bright you thought they was going on a good trajectory now they mentally gone that light bulb that I did for their future that you have for them no longer exist whether they did they in jail they on drugs or they just mentally unstable so we got a spiritual warfare that we Face them with and we talk about mental health a lot in this country but we don't deal with spiritual health we don't deal with the physical health or the brain health so we can't really address it we don't deal with the environmental health of the environments that we live in growing up we got game but only on certain things we didn't get the game of how to build wealth and understand finances we didn't get the game of how to put ourselves in positions of power so that we can have political power so today we still working to bring about the dreams that our ancestors had Huey P Newton understood that Revolution was going to come but not in his time he believed that this was the time after him so for me it's about Revolution now I believe in being rich and righteous so we got to take a lot of the concept that they gave us and we have to rework them in the time that we live in today because we got a different level of access time not the same that it used to be what used to take us hours days or weeks can now be done in days we got the internet we got artificial intelligence we have bad social networks that we can use see what I've been working to do this whole time is put myself on display because I believe that in order for us to get to where we want to be at in the future everybody has to take on a new title and it's the very title that nobody wants to take it's not the title CEO it's not the title of boss it's not the title of influencer it's a title of being a leader nobody wants to be a leader anymore they killed that Spirit of a black man or a black woman standing up saying that I'm going to lead the cause so now we don't have leaders in the family right we got everybody just following followers nobody is following leaders anymore and we are being influenced by somebody else who's being influenced who is influenced by somebody else we don't even know where it starts so when we talk about gaining power it first starts with self I'm gonna walk an example of everything that I talk about so nobody can make excuses around me because I don't make excuses for myself and I don't feel sorry for nobody I travel around the world shout out to my brothers eyo I was traveling around the world with them and we get the gracious ability to sell out stadiums to sell out venues and it's a representation that the Paradigm is changing that what people are interested in is changing y'all may have seen me on The Breakfast Club y'all may have seen me on drink Champs in different places and people be like how the hell keys do that you know first thing they think black man successful you got to be selling out I tell them you see them standing next to me they sold out to me it's different but we don't think of it like that because we always get a devil power we don't give God none we know all his plans we don't know none of guys though we got a conspiracy for everything that the devil go do every way he go use technology the world but damn what is God doing is he just sleeping waiting watching so I'm like when you see me you see God planning you see God moving so that representation when you see me on a breakfast club or you see me out there in the world and we move it that's because I learned how to strategize you can't be a general in a war if you don't know strategy right but we become so reactionary that anytime something happens it controls us that's low level if you're controlled by what you see you're low level a high level Observer controls what they see I apply the meaning I apply to structure I create the demonstration I kicked down the door that The Gatekeepers put up don't applaud them applaud me they ain't changing nothing I'm coming in here and changing it because when you're a leader and I'm not talking about just leadership where you know it's it's deceptive I'm talking about mindful leadership mindful leadership we move with empathy and compassion we learn how to understand and we become servant leaders I'm gonna give you the game plan but I'm gonna make sure that I work for the people in order to bring it out this today it's not about no money we know how to get money digitally I can get that on the internet I didn't travel and fly my brothers and the cameraman and everybody out here so that we can get money off this crowd no I wanted to bring something back to Oakland but I understand you got to leave so people can see your light first when you're too close to it people get blinded by it they get used to it they don't go ahead got some water [Applause] ask the question how many people here believe in themselves if I ask you what was your five core values how many people can say them fast if I ask you who your top five rappers how many people can say I'm fast see that lets us know where our mind is and culture our core values ain't right there at the front of our head but our top five rappers are so when you think about what's limiting you that's where you start where your core beliefs at there's a respect it's honesty is it loyal is it truth is it actualization you can't spit that then how do you know that you actually moving in regards to your core values we don't I like to get us to think a little bit right because you can't get no power unless you think today we got to deal with artificial intelligence and a lot of people afraid of it oh man let's go in the world I hope it do because I don't like the way the world run it we got to start a new world the thing is when a new technology come we have to learn how to use it for our benefits so that we can have power do we have enough power today come on man nobody want to say it out loud huh you know we ain't got no power man ain't got no power you know what I'm saying we trying to figure out who's gonna control black television Black Entertainment Television and fighting at that ain't no power they say Donald Trump was about to get arrested they said the mothership was coming down they said artificial intelligence about to end the world they said the bank crisis is happening on top of all of this information that you're getting you got to deal with your own life crisis so we just got out of covet we just got out of restrictions we just got out of Health crisis we just we still in a recession we have all these things on top of each other but we never have time to process any of them so therefore our anxiety is at a all-time high testosterone is at a 40-year low you know a man can't focus on this testosterone law he can't even think right you can't even be a man so when you do tasks testosterone makes you feel rewarded when you get it done but when you constantly feel with anxiety and stress you don't want to do nothing but indulge in escapism and entertainment so therefore that's why I said the Forefront of our heads we can say our top five rappers but we can't say our top five core values so my goal is to get you to focus because if you can focus then you can take over the world if you grew up in Oakland California like I did then you've seen men who had power growing up always tell people that my Paradigm was just different shout out to the Russell in the building it's just different [Music] but I've seen black men riding through the streets and motorcades I was in the motorcade right we'll hop out we got the suits on at least right he's that he's salute ready friend for a dress who said that was different but what we was doing was showcasing a demonstration what it's like to be a man to stand up for something and how to listen to another black man with our ego so he was getting trained but I didn't realize I was getting trained for the position that I'm in today so when somebody asked Keys what book you read it ain't in the book it's in life you can't get this in no book you got to go through some training some experience some life for real it's many scholars who didn't went to schools and got education you don't win No Award to a college degree no you got to get out here on the field but what happened how come we allowed things to fall and we don't build nothing else up that's we always waiting on the savior man who gonna be the leader so I can follow we learned that game when we was younger Follow the Leader but we took that too serious we still playing the game nah you can't call yourself a man if you don't consider one of your core values leadership that means you got to take the responsibility to do what you want to see for a man to complain he's talking about himself anything you talk about in the world that you complain about you talking to yourself man I don't see no real men out here grab that mirror that's the first person you talking to are you telling everybody else your problems we got to learn how to build ourselves up and my mother used to tell me that because I used to complain younger she was like man be the solution then so I said enough said then I start doing it and they start out doing too much I was like look you told me to bid I'm the one now let's go but that's the one thing that I did that I've seen people did not want to do my father told me if you want something he'll be remembering when he'd be dropping his keys on me though he said when you all said you got to say it out loud to the universe you know what I'm saying and when you are something you have to Proclaim it so I said I am a leader I said it to myself I was in a room by myself and everything but I know the universe was listening right I told my brother amechi and I told uh Jay short I said I'm gonna go on this Mission as 19 keys and it's going to be known around the world and it's going to be known for enlightening the masses they looking at me like I'm crazy all right they believe me but you know that kind of belief like I believe him no it's cool but I had such an innate belief in passion and direction I wrote it down they did a study when they showed people that's in a marathon where they had half of the people right down the time that they was going to finish and they wrote down they go and the other half people didn't write it down the half of people that wrote it down got there faster you have to give yourself a destination you have to write it down otherwise anything can happen it becomes chaos the first law the universe is order so that right now if a fire broke out or somebody threw a shot in the air everybody starts trampling over each other because there'd be no order so we talk about Unity but we don't know the process of unity we talk about our trauma because we don't know the process of healing but when you learn the process therefore you're not focusing on the results let's focus on the journey what do we need to do how do we collaborate how do we practice inclusion and solidarity will be coming together for common goals values and missions see everybody don't want to do the hard thing but it sounds good if you say it out loud because you sound like a past revolutionary but they was revolutionary for what they talked about and what they did at daytime you're doing the same thing ain't nothing revolutionary about it you ain't changing nothing everybody want to look like uep instead of move like them everybody want to worship Malcolm X instead of live like them it's a different type of time we're supposed to be on so me I said no if they was living in this time with social media access they got access to be able to talk to mass groups of crowds of tens or twenties of thousands and possibly Millions which means that they can get to control media which means that they can call an army at any time that they want to they can use this technology to strategize and put their own blueprint out there in the world they can gain money at any point in time that they want to by picking up a new skill set they didn't have the access and the wealth that we got today every time I see a new tour come out I say damn I just got some more money that's more wealth and resources so when I sing a I ain't afraid of it they just gave me more wealth because now they just increase my budget for me to go out there and win my War at first I couldn't afford all these employees hey I just became 20 new employees on my business for free that's an increased budget so guess what my output becomes more effective so it don't matter what field of business that you're doing what life you have what excuse you built that ain't real that's your weakness it's Oakland California City of Power City or cowards there's some people I don't know actually depending on how you live in but if you're talking about yourself are we a city of power or city of cowards some people still ain't sure see you got to explain when I speak something I don't like speaking upon but everybody else got going on when I speak so I'm speaking from the root of who I am you know what I mean so we talking about power we talking about truth I ain't got to stay in alignment with nobody I ain't in aligned with if they don't lie on my core values see what they got most people tricked in the world is they get y'all to agree with you don't really agree with because you afraid of the circumstances that ain't freedom you can't be free if you believe something but you can't say it you can't stand on it Faith gives direction for your movement and today we got way too many cowards and suckers amongst us parading as men I had no speech prepared when I got up here and I told Dame I'm probably gonna be like five minutes I don't know I'll be quick I'm just gonna run up there real quick introduce myself you know growing up in Oakland has been a blessing for me I see a lot of familiar faces in the building shout out to everybody that came if you are a round of applause for coming my brother Mike Rasheed in the building you know we got soul beat in the building first speech I ever gave was a soul beat when I was young you know this is that was my training grounds as a youngster right I look at them videos and I see myself talking about the same thing I'm talking about now then I get sad like damn we still talking about the same things you know but when I was younger was the script you know now is my reality that's what I do you know I see my brother the Russell in the building he represents Independence [Applause] we got my brother him 500 in the building his brother got a plane it's different uh shout out to uh and Fab in the building my brother Louis belt Sonny ball in the building but dangerous Solutions you know we living in a time where it is very dangerous you know but it depends if you increase your training your ability your skill sets is dangerous for them not you right and so that's what we got to really think about you know what are the dangerous Solutions when I think about the highest level I think about traditions sometimes we get to the point where we reach the highest level then we keep going and we start mutilating things right so for me one of the main Solutions let's say mental illness I look at it as a holistic approach you know I had these ease I talk about environment education exercise right um and these ease are more so if you go through them you can understand the things that you need to change if you look at your environment The Honorable Elijah Muhammad always talked about environment is stronger than nature right environment programs are habits and it influences us to do things that may be against our better nature so we can feel like we have a positive mind but in a negative environment that cancels that out so it increases our stress our anxiety our depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies right one way to get rid of that is to change environment I always talk about City thinking versus nature thinking when's the last time somebody walked in the park just for their Mental Health somebody walked outside and got grounded Somebody went to the beach you know I just came back from Jamaica and I was grounded and I've been traveling so much I don't take vacations because I'm always want to work I like vocation you know I'm saying I'm always thinking about what's next but I realize everybody always talk about anxiety this may be the first time in reality that I actually felt it because I haven't been giving myself enough time to process enough time to feel things enough time to appreciate things so sometimes instead of processing and learning how to heal right we learn how to cope with the trauma and just keep moving with it but an environment in nature we allow ourselves to actually breathe that's what we get our power from I live in L.A now and people in La never go to the beach they stay fester in an environment that's around death right and that's around stress so this is why we see so many of our people they don't have the ability to ever process anything in life and things just keep coming at them and then it makes more things come because you never dealt with it you always putting Band-Aids on the wound so we have to learn to be able to get out of our environments so that we can actually process the things that we're going through and express so we don't end up depressed by suppressing it so environment is stronger than nature that's a cue that everybody needs to understand then we talk about exercise we got the god Mike Rasheed in here exercise is important you know sixty percent of America is obese now you got to ask yourself how come 100 is not what is the other 40 doing right so for me exercises a way for me to be able to nurture my mind and my body and for me to be able to build up a habit I don't believe in goals I believe in habits right because I can have the goal of being a millionaire but if I got the habits of a poor man I ain't going nowhere right I can have the the goal of going to the gym everything like listen I want to be a bodybuilder but I got the habits of a sucker like he ain't lifting nothing so if you got fat boy habits but if you got strong man dreams it don't matter so I realize if I focus on the habits now if I go every day and I do the exact same thing that the power lifter doing the bodybuilder doing then I'm forced to get the same results because that's what it equals right so now I started to focus on the habits and the exercise keep my mind Young right this is the the hack to Ute some people in here feel old and they only like 20. all right it's so people that's 50 and they feel young right because age is not deterministic about you know how many years you've been on the planet it's about how healthy you are how do you feel how you think how creative you are so for me that's one of my therapy rooms education education keeps you young just by the mere fact that you learn and it keeps your brain processing especially after the age you know 25. this is how you can constantly stimulate yourself and that areas of your brain constantly grows new neurons so we don't talk about this kind of stuff in the hoods and the streets of America but then we'd be sick and decrepit and can't walk and can't remember things no more right and then we go drink to try to ease our mind this thing that's gonna make it feel better so the things that we do we got habits that kill us we don't have habits that heal us so what I'm trying to get you all to think about is the things that can change and train you right this is my daily regimen of training I go through a lot of different environmental stresses but I know that God gave me a soldier stamina you know he ain't he don't put nothing on my plate I can't handle and then sometimes when they make it too light I say you trying to call me weak I know I can handle more so he'd be like all right throw a couple more play I'm like that's enough I'm humbled you know so I'm always dealing with things but that's when I have my things that I can refer back to and what we're talking about right now is wealth because oftentimes when we talk about well we may just talk about the financial side right but a rich man that's dying will give all his wealth away just for one more day so if you learn to live correctly that's automatic wealth transfer especially if you teach those habits and that becomes a tradition in your family right we don't get together in our family environments talk business Family Planning Trust Credit life insurance right how do we create the family Banks how are we going to utilize technology how do we circle around a LeBron in our family so everybody can build rather than making that competition so as family how we really doing family if these are not the things that we building and projecting if your last name does not mean anything then that family don't have a future you setting up the Next Generation to go through the same poverty trauma you're going through so if we living in the era and a lot of you are if you got children raise your hand if you all have children and you're not learning about the future you setting them up for failure so you think that you can ignore cryptocurrency you think you can ignore what the cbdc coin is you think you can ignore Ai and all these things keep ignoring it and you will pass down that ignorance so what I try to do is teach you the skill set so that you can teach your children the skill sets right and there's no point of fearing anything because if you got a fear of technology that means you don't believe in God there's a lot of people that say they believe in God then they fear something whatever you fear becomes your God that's your religion so it's about enlightening ourselves so when we educate ourselves we Empower ourselves I ain't got no fear of it I understand it now I know how to use it right I was using Chad gbt anybody know what that is see most people know what it is it's the fastest growing app in history right 100 million users in one month right soon the whole world will be using it and if this is what they gave us they already been using it in financial sectors but they couldn't figure out exactly they had shut down certain AI models they couldn't figure out exactly how the AI was making money so if they couldn't figure out how I was making money they had to shut it down because if they can't control it they can't use it but the models they give to us these are the old models they've been controlling Society with AI for a long time AI been around for 50 years most people only know Allen Iverson hell no artificial intelligence but see for me I teach it in a manner to where you have natural intelligence natural intelligence is the way you you think right the way you process information right A lot of people you know we are different type of thinkers we all have if I put out a test in here we'll figure out everybody got a different type of customization and different type of intelligence right and the problem with human beings is oftentimes we look at somebody that's in a category of a strength that gets resource and success and we want to emulate that but that means your dream can be a weakness right that can be a you can have a dream in the area that you weak in because you don't know yourself for real so if you want to be a rapper but you're not good at rapping you have a dream in your weakness how many people know they got people in their family they got dreams and their weakness based on that example I just told I think everybody knows somebody and that's fine right human beings can do whatever they want this generation loves saying that right because it doesn't make us responsible for actually being successful at the things that we do right we don't have to take accountability for anything the word accountability I don't think this generation knows what it means actually right for them accountability is yo just be judgment free like no God gave me discernment I'm judging out you I don't like what you're doing like that's weird bruh like it's not cool right but this one is all about like no let a person just be like nah we're not doing that because that's not how you lead right and this is why I find it very important to take on that title of a leader because a leader doesn't just let anybody do anything it has to be aligned with what's your core values it comes back to that statement once again so as I was talking about Chad gbt I was studying myself because Chad gbt know who 19 Keys is they already got a collection of all my data information everything I put out on the internet I can tell it to think like him 500 or Think Like Mike Rasheed or think like the wrestle and try to come up with some lyrics right so this is dangerous which means that if we see technology quickening then that means that we have to have strategies for these things because we already behind the eight ball when it comes to power and wealth and opportunities and those in power will continue to use technology to stay in power right so imagine if I came up with this whole entire script of everything that I've said and this is what chat gbt told me to say so that you all can be provoked to think now you won't know in the future my brother uh red pill said AI is the BBL for the nine intellectuals you know what I'm saying it's gonna be a lot of fake smart people say they're gonna have something in their ear telling the merry thing man take the earpiece off and let's talk they can't repeat the same thing right but how do we know and we know this is the era of unnatural you know I'm saying everything unnatural today brothers getting new hairlines you'll say you can buy ads you can buy cheese you can buy lips you can buy lashes you know what I'm saying you can buy anything this is the unmapped the most unnatural area in the world and this is the biggest whole phase of humanity look I ain't judging that's what they say right I'm judgment you feel me do your thing but we want to change the phase I want this to be the biggest well phase for our culture the biggest face when we gain power and Liberty you understand me or Liberation rather I want us to be able to look at the things instead of we so connected to empowering ourselves to our sexual identity right let's Empower ourselves through our spiritual identity let's Empower ourselves based on our ancestral tenants let's Empower ourselves based on our core values let's Empower ourselves based on our actual wealth goals so but how many people feel like they financially literate in here thanks for the honesty it's only a few people but I understand because growing up it wasn't nobody that can teach me credit at least not the type of credit him found honey be teaching you know 07 everybody could teach you a certain type of credit but I don't think that's reported on your credit score look y'all live y'all want to incriminate Yourself by laughing too hard it's cool I get it that means that we had Financial deserts is what I call them the same way we got food deserts we have Financial deserts well we don't have Oakland particularly is in a zip code where the PPM the particle matter in the air is one of the worst in the country right so we inhale toxic fumes every day and that can affect the way we think it definitely affects our lungs on a daily basis it's also on one of those zip codes where we have food deserts right the Human Society run the liquor stores out here but they don't always have nutrient available food right so you can get you know some liquor quicker than you can get something that can be a nutrient for your body right and this has an effect on the crime rate in America specifically the crime rate in the Bay Area right when your body doesn't get the substance that it needs you're always craving for more you're never satisfied right this can disrupt the way you think and to be peaceful right this is lowering your desires this is lowering your nature so therefore you always triggered then we listen to music that's all about hunting and killing each other right so guess what we end up doing we want to hunt and kill each other somebody make me angry first thing I'm doing is snapping off on them so we don't have critical thinking and Detachment skills to where we can take mindful pauses we barely get silence how many people take the time to sit in a room by themselves and just think take the mindful pauses how many people feel like this world wasn't built for black people come on now y'all ain't being honest now see I understand that and what I decided to do was be a man about it I decided to speak on it right I see a white person in the building shout out to the brother we had no because the San Francisco committee for reparations is in here where y'all at got the scissors right here and I was watching the interview with the brother or the doctor Amos is that his name Reverend Amos Brown how many people here want reparations I'm hands up we need y'all vote I know I want mine you know I'm saying anytime somebody owe me something I want that but I I feel like they tricked the brother and where they spread the news because they made it seem like he refused reparations right and he was like that's fake basically what they was putting out there he's just like basically you know we're not gonna accept no trick back right that ain't no real power that's not a real suggestion that's nothing in there so now that becomes the news that a black man turned down reparations instead of putting the accountability on those who really is not making it happen right there's so many things that black people need in order to repair themselves and I want to get into the reparations conversation but first I want to talk about what does reparation mean you know reparation is repairing self for me it's reparations it's repairing itself and the first thing that we lost in America was knowledge itself right we don't know who we are so even if I give you money you go spend and it's gonna go back into their hands so without the proper education without knowledge yourself we will never be empowered by money so I definitely want my check but first I want to make sure that all of us have some knowledge of self let me get a clap [Applause] now listen we about to get into a beautiful high level conversation how many people in here watch high level conversations before I bring up this brother man you know I always talk about how tours Run the World shout out to all the other star signs and stuff Taurus you know what I'm saying I ain't like a big astrology person but just the simple fact that Malcolm X was a Taurus when safaricon was a Taurus you understand me I'm a Taurus you know sunny boy towards Lewis Bellator Taurus you feel me I always say that you know we have one of the greatest abilities when it comes to speaking truth to power right and when it comes to representation of Independence standing on your authenticity standing on your core values in a mix of corruption in the midst of suckers especially when you see the devil blessing suckers but you still stand firm on your God business right Integrity Is wealth and a lot of people don't they give up their integrity and then they have to use all their wealth to try to get it back and you can't buy back your soul once it's sold it's gone you can just try to do things to cope for a living without it but the brother that I'm bringing on stage today is a brother who never sold his soul right he's been around people who sold they sold we've been around people who sold they sold one of the most dangerous thing in the industry is to be impressed once you impressed about something that got you they can manipulate your mind to want it and they can use that against you [Applause] so what I do no matter where I go I'm impressed by nothing but God if it ain't God's business I don't care what you got right because that's the easiest way to fashion and control the mind and brother Dame must not have been pressed by nothing he ever saw no but the brother cool because you know it's hard for us to see black men that age in this industry and maintain their soul right and when we don't have that demonstration we don't think it's possible right so it's important that you know you keep that same energy that you got from the root from that Foundation I remember Waka Flocka told me one time he seen me moving about he said be careful because they'll try to keep you in the clouds and you forget your roots right and I held on to that because they'll try to keep you so busy you forget why you started now you just maintaining it like no it's always step back and remember why I started you understand me that's why I wanted to do this in Oakland because this is where I came from this is where I learned how to drill that's why I learned how to be a man that's why I learned how to be a God so the brother that I'm bringing up right now I think he represents those same core values that I'm aligned with so I want everybody to stand up for the good brother Dame Dash as I bring them on stage black guys rolled up click click yeah we go [Music] [Applause] [Music] I am is saying that no I'm the great potential anything I say after that I can activate we are pools of potential waiting for Activation so when I see people that are stuck in that low mode of saying I can't do that you can't do it because that's what your God is telling you when you say you can do it you can do it because that's what that God is allowing you to do so you can either create the cage for yourself or you can free yourself I decided to say that not being a God is not about my ego right being the God is about being able to take the self power that we have the self-knowledge that we have and take the thoughts that is inside of us and enjoy life by bringing them into reality we're at low level we're at high levels [Applause] how are we feeling today what my permission he said by any means what by any means what that means it's time for us to achieve it when he said by any means people think he's just meant by the gun no he when he said by any means he said by any means for us to give freedom justice and equality so that means that that what you don't want to do you gotta do it a lot of things that we afraid of those are the means that we have to do that's necessary that get us that freedom oh I don't want to learn this I'd rather go to the club study I don't want to exact myself in my rights as a man and do the things that's hard the government will come out he said by any means his name was Detroit Red [Applause] wings yeah [Music] dang man what does it mean to control the future controlling the future is visualizing what you want your life to look like and aren't detecting it seeing what your perfect future looks like and developing a road map and a blueprint to get there but unless you know exactly what you want unless you know exactly what makes you feel good then it's hard to get there and then when you get there you won't even know so you got to know what you love and it's important to drink you always say Vision gives Direction you know any man that don't have a vision any blind he don't really have a direction for his life and where he going and what he won't so most of the times when people see new technological advances or we see things going on in the world if you don't have a destination you can be pulled in any which way and or you wouldn't know how to use those things that will be aligned with what your vision is so for a lot of people out there I feel like there's a lot of people that still want to cultivate a strong Vision but they don't know how all right so what's your blueprint when you going to your imagination and you figuring out new ways to live new ways to do things well bottom line is I win it's about the W so if things are approaching that are new where like let's say for example like an AI or a uh a metaverse web3 where a lot of jobs or things that existed a certain way will be taken then that means there's a lot of opportunity that presents itself so whenever I look at something it's how is it a W for me you know which ultimately becomes a W for we because when I win everyone I love wins yeah you know my formula is especially with the AR conversation artificial intelligence plus natural intelligence equals enhanced intelligence it works better if you're already smart right because it's like having the smartest person in the world work for you but this is a technology the same way social media the internet and all other texts it usually end up controlling people who don't have control over themselves right and so when it comes to like discipline right always tell you have to be a disciple of something in order to be disciplined if I want to be independent I'm going to study somebody who's independent become a disciple and that becomes my discipline so now I know when I'm veering off to the wrong path or not because I'm no longer a disciple of their core values and the way they move right when it comes to discipline for you right how do you stay it ain't even stay but just how you cultivate you know the Integrity of discipline right I've seen 99 of people who get a little money a little famous success they lose their integrity Witness you know because men are not men no more in my Essence the way I believe I'm sure a lot of people they with the new masculinity that's not my bag you understand me the way I grew up a man has a man has the ability to be willful meaning that if it's a thought in your head you have the ability to bring it into reality and that's the way you can measure if you're a man or not so what's your measurement of discipline integrity and manhood again I visualize my dream once I know my dream I'm not stopping till I get it and you know for me it's about what makes me happy not what makes everybody else happy but you know sometimes we're programming to believing happiness is something that they want us to think is happiness so that we can be controlled so we can spend a lot of time trying to achieve something that doesn't exist so it's about really being true to yourself but at the end of the day you know like you know I'm on like a school tour where my fiance wrote a book about dreaming about my son and we're going into certain marketplaces and teaching these kids how to drink and you know in the process I'm talking to the high school kids and honestly they know they want to go to college because that's what they've been taught but they don't know why they want to go to college right they don't know what life looks like after college they just know that if they don't go to college that they're not successful and that to me is a program so for me it's like to understand how to talk to somebody you got to know exactly what they want exactly what makes the what makes them happy so that you know what language to speak to them in but at the end of the day what's been taken from us is our dreams is what our perfect visual is that makes us and everyone that we love happy and you know always my Ultimate Dream is you know to have a family and to make sure that my children and the people I love never have to go through the same pain as me you know but art detecting every single part of your dream is very important so like the question I've been asking people lately is what does heaven look like when you die not what does it feel like but like you know if time is measured in that vibration what does it look like when you wake up to when you go to sleep I'm gonna pose that question to you um what does your heaven look like this is my heaven to be honest I got my Pops I got my brothers here and I'm a person who heavily centered around family right so for me if if my family is healthy everybody doing good that's an emotion when you wake up no what time do you want to wake up in heaven I want to wake up in heaven [Laughter] when you what I'm saying when you get there not to say we want to get there sooner but let me give you an example for me because when I feel like it uh heaven is like money good homes friendship of all walks of life that's my concept of heaven so for me my concept of death is is blank I wasn't talking about death I was talking about heaven I think money in Heaven is love right which is with money in here should be yeah so let me explain to you what my heaven looks like because if if you know for me and no disrespect to anybody else but like if there's no music if there's no weed if there's no women oh we got weed with no money what I'm saying is what I'm saying is yeah you know why you want to know why I could you want to know why having things means something to me here but money doesn't mean nothing to me that's why I don't have so much of it I don't like to hold it I like to get it out there and make it make life yes because life is the currency and love is the currency that I abide by because that's God made money is man-made money is supposed to represent how much gold is some place which that's not even existing these days right so I don't trust money money to me is the devil I know that it's needed to function to have a luxury experience but money without love is help well what about money money without laughter is Hell money without your family being happy is Hell money is nothing but love is everything and you could create around love because all you need to know how to do is grow and build and be in a nice environment like you know I like to be hot and be on a on a on a beach if I could build my house and grow my food and I'm gonna whip my people that I love I I might not need as much you know fundamentally but all the extras and man-made things that we're distracted by to try to get the you know it kind of support to validate Who We Are foreign all I care about honestly is how I'm living and I got to create my heaven here so I know where I want to go and if God is architecting Heaven for me then I need to tell him the blueprint of what I want him to create for me when I get there so it's important to create Heaven here so that you have a blueprint of where you want to go and and and when you want to go you know so my like I said my I just talked about my heaven being real then he ended with his heaven on Earth right I started there see because like I said so for me heaven is this like being able to do what I want that's Freedom like when you control your mind and your will that's freedom for me right being able we got that now yeah that's why I'm saying I'm living in heaven like I wasn't always living here at all you feel me I had to build this up there was time where I was mentally living in hell right so I've worked myself to create my heaven right so when I can have my fathers and my brothers and my family and friends and peers and Oakland show up in the building and Dame Dash here and we arguing about money in heaven that's heaven you know like and I could be at a nine to five right now no you couldn't because you wouldn't let that happen but honestly sometimes you have to experience health so you can appreciate Heaven absolutely you have to hit some pain sometimes so you expect that something so you so you can appreciate the luxury of not feeling the pain that you were once in I agree you know the one thing about having children especially second generation is they haven't gone through nothing and they overreact to nothing absolutely you know it's like yo I don't want you to have to feel this pain to really appreciate your present so let me go through the rough stuff and let me just tell you how to appreciate the stuff that I went through so that you don't have to right I you know coming on that you know adversity builds character you know unfortunately it's a flip side to that because a lot of people like you said without their Duality they don't know how to appreciate existence and the things they have right there's the wisdom of learning from somebody else's experiences so I have an older brother so I learned a lot from his experiences right I've seen all my partners with baby mamas so right now I don't have a baby mama because I learned from the wisdom or the trauma that they was going through right and shout out to all the baby mothers I mean it like that but y'all know what I mean you got a wife I don't mean it like that you got a wife no I'm working on it all right oh I mean like you don't want a baby mother you want a white no exactly that's why I ain't got one you know but but I mean it understands that this generation I think is you know uh for lack of better words soft right and what I mean by that is the things that where adversity for me that make me who I am right I mean actual real things like going through cases going through struggles really going through Darkness this generation you know they deal with cyber bullying right it's it's and to them you know that's their Darkness right but for me that could never even bother me right because I built up my ability to go through the darkness I can handle way more than the average person which is why I don't mind putting so much on my shoulders the things that I handle will kill normal men right just the stress or the anxiety of taking that position so when I talk to everybody about being leaders I know that being a leader for some people like just the thought of it you barely teetering on the balance of good mental health so just that idea of like damn I gotta really lead and do something for the world nah that's that's already eating you up just thinking about it so you got to get to a place of mental Heaven before you can do something to help anybody else build out their heaven right and it may look selfish but it's not I think it was a Ayana vasant she said it's about being so full right so when you look at that selfish you look at it as a negative when you focus on self-development right so I know that even when I left Oakland I had to go on that journey of self-development right and then when I come back I can come back stronger I can bring people together right because I'm gonna go on that journey of developing myself versus being in front of everybody trying to get validated for the things that I'm doing instead when I showed the world now there's people that didn't know I was from Oakland but when they found out they was proud like I was their cousin right which is good so now we at this place where we get to really have that ability when it comes to Each one teach one like if you don't put yourself in position you can't do nothing for nobody else right like I'm happy that you know uh for me you know a lot of the things that I deal with other people in collaboration is because me and my brothers weren't ready to work together so I was like well I'm gonna show you what this will look like if we did work together right so hopefully now that you see it now let's build something right and so I know for a fact one of the biggest issues that people have is when it comes to family right everybody struggles with that idea of family supporting a dream or a business or a goal but I realize like they don't have to until I build a dream that supports my family right so when I did that then the family can work with me and for me right so now I don't have to worry about it they support my dream because my dreams support them so of course they're going to protect it of course they're going to support it because now it's reciprocal right and so that little bit of wisdom changed my life because I was no longer worried about that no more I was free consciously to just go out there and build now right and so for me that helped me cultivate heaven right I don't pick up things I'm not ready for right I'm not nobody can call me with an issue and problem to just dump on my life and that ain't got nothing to do with my my goals and my values right now you got to handle that that ain't for me to pick up that's for you to handle because I'm not trying to be nobody's crutch so at this point if we talk about heaven I want to talk about the skill sets of the future how many people in here own the business how many people want to you know make more income in their business right when I started high level conversations I knew that I couldn't do it like any other show on there like I don't have a podcast I got a show right and I said let me study the way hit shows are made let me look at the elements that I would need to program into every conversation in order for it to be a hit right and so the intentionality of the way I design things is my genius a person may look at it as a thought leader it is but no I'm a producer I'm a director and so a lot of times when we take on new projects we don't really take on the hats that's needed in order for them to be successful right we don't really study the art and the science of it and this is why we really lag and we behind on things right but now we had 25 million views and that's at the behalf of people saying that that wouldn't work nobody wouldn't hear that conscious right but my whole life is proven that people do unconsciousness it just not sold to us and so we at this place in a world where you know I've been studying a lot of Edward Bernay who's a psychologist to where he manipulates people's desires and his whole thing is he created public relations he's the reason why people eat bacon and they breakfast or women started smoking cigarettes because they studied human behavior and figured out ways to control people and now we are a society that's not based on needs we based on desires right but I want to ask you when it comes to detaching from the program because most of the things that most people don't even realize that they be in control they think that really comes for them how does a person begin to detach from The Matrix or the program and that's in the world on a daily basis well for me anything that's been presented to me has been presented to me to control me so my rule of thumb is go against the grain and to never try to fit in to do things different I never want to be like atmosphere in the video game I would rather be the player and I'm always looking for the next thing that no one else has done because usually what I'm looking for when it comes to that is independence and freedom and being and doing things that are economically quicker and give me more bang for the buck so for me when I did that Breakfast Club thing and I was telling everybody to quit their jobs where people weren't understanding is I had just quit my job my job was Rockefeller records and the reason why was because it wasn't Damon Dash I was helping other people get to their dreams but I didn't have an asset that I could pass to my children and I was spending more time with people that I didn't birth to make them money so I could make money off them than spending time with my children so at that point I quit and it became I have to invest in me and a product that that that means unapologetically my point of view unapologetically the time that I spend for the art of whatever I'm creating and to be consistent at it for an amount of time to where people will buy it and feel that they're buying a piece of that and just recently like as I'm telling everybody yo you have this bed at all I'm betting it all you Google me right now would be like game Dash is worth negative 2 million or whatever all that yeah because every single second for the last 10 years I've been investing in me my point of view like CEO as a brand or as a director or as someone that's really fighting for others that he loves you know more than just himself as I'm telling people what to do I'm doing it as I'm saying better at all I'm betting it all I'm betting it all right now and as I'm asking people to not to complain because we've all know the problems we've been knowing the problems they the same problems a cycle of problems means somebody's doing a good job and making sure we don't solve them because they keep happening once you know something if it happens again there's an issue with us not them so to be able to create my own curriculum or rather a book that I could go into the school system and actually teach these kids a different way to do things to be able to sell a sneaker for 250 CEO have a brand that I could actually now sell without having to leverage someone else's celebrity to be able to have movies coming out and have shot them independently and distribute them in theaters like they do it but doing it my way and work with who I want to work with to be able to present visuals to our culture that aren't us getting abused or us fighting each other because that's all they show us of that's been my dream and that's what I've been fighting for real time you know so in this very moment the inspiration has come from knowing every war that needs to be fought fighting for the people I love understanding that I hate business I hate it I hate money but we need to actually have money to to live a certain kind of life but I ain't doing nothing for money to be able to embrace my creative side and to do it in real time in front of the whole world and for them to be able to learn from my experience and to know that when you bet it all it looks good and that you win if you're persistent about your dream and you can visualize it and that you could link up with other people from your culture and have people gather and talk and architect the future for themselves and that you can learn from any mistake or any learning experience that's being made it feels good to be independent it's priceless you know it feels good to help the people you love and not have to ask it feels good to be able to link up and be a rock star without saying anything that's going to hurt our culture because I know how to make money of hurting our culture I've done it and karmically has kicked me in the ass um you know to even watching 19 Keys like yo I I I've been on stage and seen him in the audience and now I'm on stage with them you know I'm looking for more partners I'm not looking for soldiers I'm looking for generals and I'm willing to bet it all because that's what I've done and I've done it in real time in front of everybody it's not embarrassing to bet on what you love to stand unapologetically behind with what makes you feel good and also you know good taste is cheap where other people can't pay for it and it transcends every Dimension and vertical of Who You Are so what was the question [Applause] somewhere in there you answered it I'd like to know what it was though I don't remember [Laughter] oh no so no breaking the program oh yeah I create the program forget the program you know and that and and what I just did was an example of how I break the program by not paying attention to it and creating a new one thank you all right but y'all got to pay attention no but it's real though I say that because you know I'm uh as I study things and I just think about the masses all right the masses are usually you know controlled by the master and most people don't control their lives and some people are happy and they fine with that but then there's a percentage of people who actually do want to have power over their lives who do want more than what their current reality is right I'm always thinking about you know my highest level of self right what does that look like what is he doing and sometimes it's hard to even put yourself in the shoes of your future self because we are now in a time of uncertainty at least for the masses for the Masters everything is certain because you know who you are you know your core values you know how you gonna move regardless of what pops up in the world right and so I really want to ask some questions too or or allow some of the guests that are here some of the special guests to ask some questions because you know as we talk about linking up one of the greatest skills that they said is important today is the art of collaboration right people don't know how to work with each other today right and that's really what's been one of my greatest skills my ability to pull together people right and work with them and to get things done that normally would not have been done right and that allowed me to be able to travel around the world and to build and do things that one person may say well 19 Keys is black Muslim Consciousness I don't know that's too radical but when I collaborate with my brother you know I'm saying he can get into doors that I can't get in and any doors that I can't get in I open that for him and so now we can increase each other wealth just through the art of collaboration right and so this is why I always want people of different uh backgrounds and people who are my peers I'm like yo come to the show or let's do this together like I'm always that person that's coming up with an idea of something that we can build together and I don't do it in the times where we need each other I do it in times where we up right and that's completely different because when somebody hitting you and they down no that's desperation you understand me but when they hitting you you know they up and you know they doing good and like you still want to work together that's authenticity right and so you have to learn the art of collaborating and building relationships because I think some people day one they'd be like yo bro so I got this show this or this like come on I don't even know you bro like you got to relax you'll say you got at least three points of contact before you can start to create an air familiarity with somebody right and then you have to learn to serve the people that you're trying to work with or for right and most people don't know how to insert themselves and be of value in the situation so when you learn how to assess what a person has going on and you saying that this is how I can make you some money or this is how I can grow your enterpriser this is what you may be missing let me just do the work most of the people that I'm working with right now people that have long-term relationship with or people that did the work before I asked them to and it was good work and I'm like yo I need you on the team like now you realize like I I you just showed me something that I need I'm not gonna go without it right there's this African brother in Nigeria maybe stealing all my videos and he I seen them on the on YouTube and they getting like a hundred thousand views you know at first I was gonna pull them you know what I'm saying like you got me messed up but I realized like no let me reach out to him and hire because you know he was doing better than my team shout out to the team but he had a different level of creativity his thumbnails was raw he had a picture of me my shirt off he all said it had like 200 000 saying bro work it so you know I hit him up and I'm like we need you on the team and now he about to run the YouTube channel but he created his job right 70 to 90 percent of the jobs in the future ain't been created yet right what they say about AI is not going to take you a job if somebody else could use AI that will when you see these jobs being laid off at all these companies because they don't need them no more if they can decrease human error and increase Effectiveness in a bottom line at their business then you will replace your staff for AI as well right and so for me though I feel like or I know rather if we really want to win as a coaching Dame talks about this a lot and that's really aligned with my values and I say core values a lot because I really want you all to think about your top five before you leave out of here so that anything you do you have to do and it has to be aligned with that right so when you set up your goals and you set up your life and you look at your path you look at your relationships you look at your friends your environment if it's not aligned with your top five don't do it right that means you have to restructure your life because otherwise you'll never get to where you really want to be right because there's some people that die from stress trying to go against themselves right because what you're doing is not aligned with who you are so I don't believe in finding purpose I believe in realizing self the more knowledge of self you have the easier it is to customize the life that's worth living right so I study myself on a daily basis that's how I can speak that's how I can communicate that's how I can build with others so that I can be able to put constant value right today everybody has to build a brand everybody should build a business they say 50 percent uh the workforce is now working for themselves the other fifty percent who had to figure out that it's gonna be a time to work for themselves as well so as they tell people to fire your job right and become your boss that's not a privilege anymore that's a necessity your job that you have right now will be taken over it's just a matter of time right and this is called the Great de-skilling of the world things are changing they already here so what will you do when you no longer need it it's gonna create this feeling of like damn I don't feel a purpose I don't feel a reason to be alive but I think it's a good thing because it's going to push people out of positions of doing things that robots can do let that robot do it do something that only a human being can do think creatively think critically the thing that to me is the power the thing about having an AI now is that you could have a staff to make your dreams come true for cheap so instead of working for somebody you could have ai working for you for nothing right so it's about reversing that narrative again when something new presents itself you have to look at the W in it not the loss not what's taken from you but the opportunities that present themselves and usually the evolution of technology is better for us if we realize how much real physical labor do we want to do and again you have to be able to visualize that dream to put it in a product so that you could use AI to help you to sell it but if you don't have a product to sell if you don't have nothing to make then you're not a made man it's not gangster to be telling people how to be gangster if you don't have nothing to sell yourself so you have to figure out what you could be Unapologetic about as it relates to your point of view and have that all into a product and then ask AI how to sell it you could even tell AI yo I'm gangstering just that in the third what product can I make behind that and how do I Market it so AI is making it where instead of having a job you could be a boss but in general the only thoughts that you should be thinking in is boss it's boss or nothing it's I win or nothing it's my kids kids win or nothing and what is the path to get to that a bill could be paid late as long as in the future your children and your children's Children's bills are not and that's all that matters because if you've survived what's ever going on now then you good it's your job to be strategic to architect what you want the people you love to feel thinking about the people you love it's like you have to be selfish to think about how to help others because you can't help nobody unless you can help yourself if you have to pay a bill late to help somebody then to me that's an oxymoron that shouldn't happen it should be as easy as you gotta build let me buy you a house and it doesn't hurt but you got to be selfish in your dreams to get to that point sorry about cutting you off that was an extension it's cool I was gonna say that you're gonna say exactly that yeah I was gonna say it's word for word no because before we got here I said AI if dang dash cut me off when I say this what would he say and they said that I told you that yeah it told me how to prompt a response from you I told you I was going to do that yeah you're doing something with James she's going to cut you off yeah for five straight minutes so it said just sit there inquisitively while he do it and it's going to be smooth so this brother right here is phenomenal because he took a skill set that he had put himself and his family on the skill said that he teaches many other people everybody can't teach trading like my brother this is why you see him with the celebrities and why you see him with successful students not only that if you're having a hard time the brother actually shows you all the trades that he's making at 5 000 plus per day on it's not one of them oh I tell you I can do it it's one of those I'm gonna show you I can do it you can do it right along with me so if there's somebody that wants to fire their job pick up a new skill this is my brother that's Happy in the honey drip Network make sure y'all tap in y'all can get him to the Discord for a low monthly and you can change your family trajectory just like that myself made my first six figures uh when I was 21 made my first half a million when I was 22 and made my first a million [Applause] [Music] we're here for progress we're here for freedom we here to heal black men I see you black woman I see you I better some guys in the building tonight [Applause] we all at different Cycles when you recognize the thing that you're going through is just a cycle and you understand that cycle is a will it's circular by Nature time is a cycle see we have to learn the mathematics of the universe because we weren't taught how to identify the cycles and the patterns and The rhythms and the frequency so where we can Master our world and we have the ability to control our thoughts and everything that happens so what I want to see us to do is focus on our creative imagination focus on imagining a better world designing a better world and then execute because that's how I know we're well working oil people right so do we have ideas and they're abroad that means that we're giving birth to something it's the internal processes of your own mind that command your actions and when you have the ability to take control through awareness now you have the ability to fully function or control yourself in real life though man I I've been using it a lot um because it teaches me how to study myself as well in my own process of thinking because you start to learn your own limitations right if you got just think about this if you really got the smartest person in the world working for you what can you tell them to do you can only tell them to do based on what you can do right and what you know and then that's your limit then you got to start asking them yo tell me what to tell you and at some point you working for them right and so the generation that's going to come up utilizing AI they're going to end up AI is going to end up utilizing them to do things in the real world if they don't have control over their own thinking critical skills right being able to think multi-dimensional there's new um skill sets like uh prompt engineering so prop engineering is something that everybody should get familiar with and that's essentially it's basically the same thing as human management if you anybody got employees in here right if you have employees if you tell them to go do something depending on the amount of you know details that you put in that order right they can go do it you tell them listen I need you to create copy for this email so we can go do some marketing depending on their skill set of how intelligent they are they're going to need more subject matter wait a minute I need more context so working with AI you say listen hey I want to create emails AI like okay what kind of emails you want to create you say Okay I want to create emails for my business then like no wait a minute I want you to create emails but you will look up somebody who's the best person that does email copy in the world right I want you to create emails like them or I want you to act like you are a psychologist now I want you to create emails utilizing social behavior knowledge right so now it's creating emails that's really pulling on human emotions and desires so if you just tell it to create an email let's go do general what everybody else is going to do but the more knowledge you have the more you can custom to get greater detail out of it right but that's based on how smart you are not how smart AI is so that's why I say natural intelligence plus artificial intelligence equals enhanced intelligence right but if you don't operate it from that formula you can't get the best out of life the same way you can't get the best out of people right so it helps me become a better people manager because now I realize the limitations of the way I speak to people I have the idea in my head but I'm not really communicating it in a manner to where they can fully understand the context so as I've been working with this has actually been training me to increase my natural Intelligence on a daily basis and not assume that a person understands the parameter of the context and they understand exactly what I'm trying to tell them and or say right and you can you can utilize it in so many ways if you take your business and you tell it like this is my financials you can feed it your financials if you want to that you want to get that deep and you say all right look at this where can I you know decrease my budget and increase my profit at work how can I you know make more money understanding my profit margins right how can I create a marketing plan right but the more you know about every subject that you tell AI to do the more you can customize it to get better results now here's the thing that people go find out a lot of people go find out they're lazy because it's going to tell you exactly what to do but you ain't gonna do it it's gonna give you a foolproof plan and the next thing you're going to want to do as a robot to do everything the AI tells you to do so human beings are getting lazier and lazier and lazier and that's the issue that I have because I see a generation where especially Our Generation now if it tells you 10 steps right and you don't do that now you sitting in front of your excuses like damn I actually don't want to do nothing I just want the results I think people that are proactive about AI because if you're proactive about AI in this moment you'd probably be proactive about the information that is giving you because I find that people that are looking for ranchers once they get them but they got to be looking for the answers like there's people that you could give answers to and they actually resent you for giving it to them they get mad at you because now they gotta work but if someone's looking for it usually if they see the solutions they would capitalize you know a lazy person is not going to look for answers through AI unless somebody does it for them you know but like I think it's important that again like the fact that you're speaking about how to use AI in this moment of AI is important because people are don't even understand that AI even exists and understanding that you it's almost like in art to talk to AI to get it to give you the information that you desire but it's the beginning of it so again it's about visualizing what AI looks like in 10 years so it's about practicing it's not even about if it doesn't help you now it'll help you later just getting into the rhythm of it for me AI is the study of human behavior right you know I I was like trying to figure out why Elon Musk bought Twitter and it just became logical that it was because he was buying data of behavior patterns for all the AI stuff that he's doing but for me I like to do things that haven't been done so it tricks AI um you know AI has nothing to study when I do something because it hasn't been done yet so if there was AI like what does it look like when black people stick together it was the breaking it would be stumped that's why we couldn't get out of the devil that algorithm doesn't exist yet yeah but but that's the algorithm and the AI that I wanna start to to do a be a a behavioral study of what it looks like when we actually stick together what does it look like when they stick together it'll be like damn it it'll look like when the Moors we're in town it'll look like all the history that has been trying to be erased from us so we don't have that visual of what it looked like when we were winning right you know I don't think people understand that there was a time that we were in control in a big way and almost kind of abusive about it and people studied on how to not let that happen they're getting for a thousand years erase that visual from their brain and that's why we don't see visuals of us winning it's a strategic thing we just seek visuals of us getting beat and let's hurting each other and and continuing to move forward in that way so in this moment we're a part of the solution that's happening this is what it looks like when we stick together this is what it looks like when we share resources this is what it looks like when we're not mad at each other for no reason when we're hitting each other instead of hitting the people that are oppressing us it looks good it's a very chill kind of environment like so this is the new algorithm that we have to continue to create the stick together algorithm the winning algorithm the visuals of what happens when we stick together algorithm of what it looks like when we don't need them and they need us and they know it and they're not trying to trick us because they know we're going to laugh at them because they're playing checkers and we've been playing chess algorithm so my challenge to you is to visualize what that looks like other than in the Black Panther you're right what does it look like in real time when we're the landlords just because where the landlord doesn't mean that we're the only people that are going to show up it means that we control the whole world we have the taste that we know we have and the Rhythm that we know we have why not own the bricks that they get exploited in why not be in control of the land where all our culture is being exploited in by us because what I know about people from another culture is they don't care how dangerous it is for us they're going if there's a deal I was in Mount Morris Park in Harlem the other day and around the park dudes are selling drugs and everybody was doing what they doing in the park it's mad white people playing God you know volleyball and they weren't scared so we can be the landlords and they can come through we could be the bosses not of us but everybody what does the world look like when we're in control it's a beautiful world because we're not scared we like to grow not kill it ain't going to just be good for us it'll be good for everybody without that plan and without that visual it will not happen so we have to stop asking and waiting for people to give that visual to us we have to do that ourself we have to stop waiting for other people to teach us we have to teach ourselves we got to make the curriculum we can't be dependent on AI or the internet to go talk to people you still got to get in there and go hand in hand and shake a hand and really put into the universe what we want as opposed to what we expect there's a there's this entitlement of people doing for us it's not going to happen we got to do it for ourselves if we don't like education we got to make education if we don't like the music we got to make the music if we don't like the movies we got to make the movies but what we also got to do is stick together to distribute everything that we have all the art that we want people to see we just got to stick together and continue to be creative visualize the W and actually do it and show everyone that it can be done because if they don't see it because we're visual people it will not happen so that's what we're here doing this is the solution another thing we talked about AI but you know E.I emotional intelligence is very important you know in 2019 I had a thesis on what was going to be the new America mobilization Automation digitization and they were speaking upon the rise of Technology but during the rise of Technology you see you know the rise of the SATs what I call the stress anxiety depression suicide right because they have direct correlations with each other and so without emotional intelligence you won't be able to you know be emotionally resilient during this time and this like I said earlier is the time of the highest anxiety in the world right and so being able to understand how to process things as you go through them is key and as entrepreneurs as human beings these are not enough conversations that we have you know in our environments in our houses right and on these platforms we talk about mental health but it becomes like this commercial thing to talk about black men mental health instead of actually help black men right and so people do it because they get corporate sponsor dollars and things of that nature and it's a hot button topic but ain't nobody really going to the hood and helping you understand or change the environment that we live in right the environments that we live in is so toxic and dirty and it doesn't look like life lives there right when we see each other we shouldn't look at each other and see an enemy I should see my brother but instead we've changed the program and how we see each other because we see we don't see Gods but that's what they want us to do that's what they want us to do that's the program our programming has to be man I see a god when I see my brother like when I see like this front row right here I got a lot of my brothers in here that I know and it's like what I look at when I see what y'all do I see your process I see the struggle what I see the pain I see the anxiety I see the stress I see somebody that doesn't give up and they push past the pain to make progress right because what a lot of people do is they look at the black man Resorts right right but you ain't looking at the process and the black woman because what it takes to be successful and maintain your mental health during this time right you have to be an anomaly right and so I salute anybody that is able to successfully build a business especially in the midst of dealing with your own trauma right because it's not easy and so you have to learn how to respect the process that a person goes through rather than just looking at the shiny aspect of the results that they get right and so the strong ones usually never get called upon and checked upon and so this is why you know those people don't end up living that long right because as you trying to break these barriers and break these chains and break this trauma in the family you're putting all of that on you right and then when you gone who carries the mark and so we have to learn like I said earlier learn how to collaborate with those who doing something rather than say oh I like what he do I'm gonna do it too now you become his competition like damn you making it more stressful for me that's the program that's the programming is that we don't work together that we every time we see somebody doing something we hate them for it instead of embracing them but if we all fighting the same fight I'm never going to get mad at you for trying to fight for love if I'm fighting for love if we fight for the same thing we need to fight together right and if we have different methods of fighting yeah I'm gonna take the best of what you do and I'm gonna apply it to what I do you know whatever you do that I'm weak at hopefully you're strong at and vice versa but we're programmed not to look at the people that are hurting us but to look at each other so that they can walk around safe which is why they're in our neighborhoods safe not scared where I Won't Go Back someplace where I've heard it's too wow even if it's a good deal yeah so I'm like I'm cool with it I'm just saying that our expectation and our dreams are not to run us is to run them that's what I'm saying it's not for us to survive it's for us to be in control of survival and that we have the power to do that it's not to fit in is to actually carve out and when we stick together that's what it looks like they're exploiting the fact that we don't know our self-power and what it looks like when we stick together and program does to hate each other when we love each other and we'll win because it's dangerous for them not us but it's an obvious program I'm not mad of them it's been very like kudos I'm never mad at my enemy for implementing something that's affecting us I'm always mad at us for letting that go through especially so long football went over again and they trying to it's the same trick over and over but again the good part about to date is we need to also get used to the fact that we're not being abused that we're in the moment of solution that we are what no one else does we're doing it y'all doing it and make a hand for give yourself a hand for doing it but we are doing it and we have to celebrate when we are we got to chip away at the mountain and we'll get there but we have started and what we're doing right now is a perfect example of it so I don't feel the anxiety of like I know the answer but nobody's doing it it's no longer I gotta yell and scream and people say I'm crazy I could speak cool and actually have action it really looks good when we stick together look at us right now so we just take that thing and make it infectious like covet keep that energy everywhere we go and every year just grow just get better I'm not mad at what's been done I'm mad at what we're not doing in the future if we know we could we can't and this is the purpose of forums like this again is not to look for soldiers for generals not to look for workers but for partners and that's the whole purpose of this whole game 19 keys he has a let's take a moment for a second I want everybody to just pause they ain't dad's used to that word I invented it not pause but we did invent the game also so if if we take a moment of Stillness right because part of this environment is not always what we say it's about what we feel right when we in environments like this and we're here for acknowledge education Consciousness to uplift ourselves this is not something that we get on a daily basis right we may get this yearly we may get this a few times out of the year but we are in an environment a physical environment where people are here together to try to reach a higher level of self right and it feels good to be here and in this moment we have to think about what we're here for though right I believe we go to every place to pick up something and take with us you can't let the moment pass without thinking about what you're supposed to take with you along your journey and on your way so that you can have growth this moment ain't for me it ain't for damn it's for you but at the same time it's not just you as an individual it's you as a piece of the collective what can you pick up when you leave because I was once you know I remember going to one of the damn events and I'm just sitting on the side watching I didn't even introduce myself let me see bro later because I was picking up a seed there I was soaking up the environment right I was cultivating my ideas my dreams and grabbing my energy because sometimes we walk into people and we hope they notice we special before we bring that out of ourselves and so you have to learn how to validate yourself through your own work and then when you show up people recognize you right and so that's your real power so I never stood in front of nobody hey you see how special I am I'm the chosen one nah you don't know who I am now but you will later because I'ma actually do Chosen One work that's different than having Chosen One dreams and everybody in here want to be chose you know I know you're from the Bay Area you know that's hey you know a lot of my league will be coming out like that I don't even be mean until you know I've been around Mr Fab too many times [Laughter] but in real life though you know this is a a moment of solidarity this is a moment where we get to generate ideas that get to reverberate into the future right there's so many times I try to bring people together so that we can take over things and we in this midst of operation where we do get to take over things it's just I wanted things to happen faster than the actual process and so now I learned to respect time right I learned and respect time you have to respect time time is a greater snitch than six nine it tell you everything right I'm serious time will always tell you reality it's going to tell you the future so if I respect time then I know that as long as I make the moves right reality will move with me so I can want things to happen today but that's not the way Tom has it set up you say no you got to make these moves then they come so we that generation that our ancestors may have felt like yo yo I want things to happen now I want us to get Liberty now no you just there to be a part of the collective to install something in the Next Generation so that they can build it right and they may be building it for the next Generation so we part of a continual phase of development everything that we went through as far as Darkness slavery trauma your own family personal issues it's all to prepare you but for what you also we get into that Annunaki Billy Carson conversation yeah we can get into that but that's another thing that's definitely another thing but that's the question what is everything that you went through preparing you for you know I always lose the analogy of you know when you're in your mother's womb right you're getting prepared to live the life that you live in now you're getting arms legs right you're getting hard you get in the spine as a baby you don't know what you're being prepared for you don't have no knowledge no consciousness but once you get here you realize oh I got the skin I got this the the ability to be upright the ability to learn the ability to understand to walk to crawl because I'm getting prepared to be in this world right but as we go through life we have to understand why are we learning the lessons that we learn through our life what is the next phase that we can prepare for right so we have to learn the spiritual laws of the universe to prepare us for our next phase of reality right and so that comes with understanding the law of cause and effect most people try to figure out why their life is the way they is but you don't understand the causes of things that you've done to get the effect of reality that you're living in right and so when I operate with that I don't have any issues because I realize I created the life that I have right and I created the things that I don't have right and so it puts me in control now I'm in the driver's seat of everything that's happened and I also have the power to control what happens next or I don't need to control it right and that's when you get to another phase of power because we go from slave ship to ownership right when we don't have nothing we feel like we need to own everything but when you realize it's about rulership right now owning nothing but controlling everything that's when you get to True power so I don't own my emotions I control them you know that's what God said he gives man's domain over everything not man owns everything no you have the ability to control those things in your atmosphere that's true power I'm not even attached to it but I control the outcome so when we learn the true value of The Art of Living the art of thinking right there's so many things that we are savaging behind we don't know how to walk we barely know how to breathe correctly I mean that for real we don't know how to breathe as human beings we don't know how much water intake we supposed to have we don't even know the customized things because we went to school to learn how to work for the world instead of to learn how our inner workings work right so when we go to school and we learn self right then everything that you do is aligned with who you are but they told us to chase our desires right rather than our needs so there's a lot of people that have things that they desire but don't have the things that they need and that's why we continue to have the issues that we have because once you operate in that place of need you have different dreams and expectations you don't have greed you don't have jealousy anymore because you have everything that you need but we're chasing the idea of freedom and success on what it looks like to another culture not what it looks like for hours right what them getting money looks like for them is different what it looks like for us but we feel like in order to fit in we have to look like them so they can validate us no we're supposed to be the spokes who sit beside the door but at some point in time you got to let somebody in at some point in time you got to say I got enough information let me kick down the door right some people just stay by the door bro I'm just a Spoke man you know I've been here for 30 years I'm collecting you know what you know why I'm here no I don't know no more you you've been there for a while you ain't got nobody no game man kick the dough open bro you'd have been through every position the president and every job and you afraid to give somebody a discount at Target how about you a spook so you know when I met Mr Fab you talk about when I met him at proud of him you know I'm a let me tell the story I tell it but um when I met listen bro 50 off instantly first day I met him I don't care about these people money I'm gonna be working here forever one day I'm gonna be in the future I need Mr Fab to tell a story you know tell the right way but you're gonna tell the story on stage so but that to me that's the art of networking you don't even know that the piece some of you are treating people the wrong way that you're gonna need tomorrow right and you don't even know that you're gonna need them you don't even know you'll be in the position where y'all can utilize each other right I couldn't spoke all of those things into existence I had to work him into existence and there's too many people trying to operate off the Law of Attraction instead of the law of work right you just want to sit there and positively bring things into reality positivity alone ain't never made nobody a millionaire right it's the work it's it's understanding the different laws of the universe but everybody loves the law of attraction right but for most people it's a law of subtraction because if you're not doing thing you're robbing yourself right so if I want to build my future self I have to think about how do I invest in them right because otherwise everything that I don't have today is because I robbed myself of it yesterday I didn't do the work so if I had the knowledge I didn't read That's why right if you're single it's because you ain't get you know what I mean you ain't spit the game you're supposed to do like you ain't you ain't develop yourself into somebody who's actually attractive nobody wants you not like that I know some people got triggered but what I mean like focus on making yourself more valuable and you will be more attractive to the things that you consider valuable right that's a different level of power right and that goes with all relationships I'm not talking about just sexual relationships because my uncle Nadar shout out to him you from the bay and he told me a long time ago he said the way y'all treat women y'all don't understand they value he said you just want to have sex with her you could have built a million dollar business with her she had skill sets that you could utilize right but instead you only see her for her flesh you don't understand the mind and so it took me a while you know it went when he just said it took me I United I had to go you know through some iterations to understand exactly what he understood what he understood at that time and it was long-term thinking so well after the question Greg oh I had no question oh [Laughter] this the AI script man what's going on just do this I'll just but listen what I did want to get into I wanted to let this role right here the VIP panel man ask a couple questions or make a statement you know just to add effect to the room because sometimes it's not about who on stage is about who's in the room You Know Each one teach one we can all give each other value I see faces that I've known you know from a childhood right up until now so this is a full circle moment so I don't even want to just take the moment I really want to share it right so I got my brother Mike Rasheed right here in the building and I wanted to see if you had a few words you wanted to ask or something that you wanted to share just to add to the collective yes excuse me peace y'all appreciate everybody um first and foremost I love you to death bro first time we talked we was introduced and we talked for like two and a half hours you know what I'm saying and we have those bills all the time it's authentic and I with you hard bro it feels like what um I want to say to brother Dane like this is dope you're a dope dude you're one of the people that you know I modeled myself after in so many so many different ways through my Ascension you know um I feel you I just feel you you feel me like the The Breakfast Club that was like my favorite anytime video you know what I'm saying I've sent that to so many people you feel me so I'm honored to be in a room with you you Brothers um it's a lot of power in here my brother him 500 um I don't really have nothing to add just let me love y'all I appreciate y'all we talked about 60 of America being obese man what is when it comes to mind and body you're a person that you always talk about putting yourself through something hard every day right can you talk about just that mindset piece of people that may want to get themselves together physically but how do they get there mentally absolutely all right so my brother Amir um we was having a conversation the other day and he posed this question he says do you think Society is backsliding getting weak we're not going to advance because we have so many you know pieces of Technology we have so much comfort at our disposal and I said no I don't think that because the nature of man is to seek Comfort if it wasn't we'd still be in trees and forests right so you will not have a situation to where humans are not going to try to make life easier however we know that with that we will become weak we will atrophy muscles get weak brain get weak so on and so forth we used to have to hunt for food now we have ubereats so knowing these things we have to counterbalance all of the luxuries and the Comforts and look I'm we all do well for ourselves but we also do things that are difficult every day you know what I'm saying for me personally I have a routine I'm wanting routine I go to bed early I get up early I'm praying I'm meditating I'm in the gym sauna all of that stuff before 8 A.M you feel me so it's in me like I intentionally put myself through uh discomfort right I am comfortable being in discomfort I wouldn't be comfortable if I didn't have discomfort if things were too easy I wouldn't like that you know what I'm saying so um in 2018 I think I'm looking around the landscape of my industry and I just don't like my peers I'm like I don't like these people I don't want to look like these people I don't want to appear to be like these people so what did I do you know a long-term time passion of mine box I'm unboxing all my life but I stopped my early 20s when I was about to turn 40 I went back to the sport you feel me getting up out of my big nice house to go one in the morning to get in shape to go fight people half my age you feel me I did that just to keep myself sharp keep myself dangerous because I don't want to become soft you feel me so I feel like we should especially as men we should always always try to do difficult things keep ourselves dangerous mentally physically spiritually financially fortify all of these resources so that we're that guy in our family you hear me for those who don't know Mike Rasheed he is one of the top in the world when it comes to Fitness and he has one of the number one Health uh mineral vitamins supplement companies in the world right and uh this is something that he's built up so his brother has a lot of knowledge which is why I asked him right because for me I have peer tours I don't have mentors I have peers that I learn from Each one teach one right so that's why I really respect the knowledge that my brothers have because they built something and they do things that I can't do and I was taught that that's the god protocol we bow down to what each other has right so therefore we can recognize each other rather than compete with each other and for me that's the art of collaboration so you know that's a brother that you know I'm starting to get in shape on my Creed for it right now you know I'm up there I ain't took the the photo shoot yet but it's coming you know get the baby oil and everything but I'm competing you feel me because I see my brother he get up there and he work out so now when he get in the gym I don't want to be hitting the baby weights and he over there hitting the van Reams I'm on my baby boy you feel me so therefore I made a new habit to go to the gym consistently every day and that's really been helping me with everything else in life right because that idea of putting yourself in discomfort on purpose right like Neuroscience say if you wake up you take a cold shower we have a point in time where we're going to automatically have more stress throughout the day but if you trigger that stress in the morning right then you're going through it on purpose so therefore it doesn't trigger it for the rest of the day right so if you purposely take yourself through the stretch then you can control your reality right so I take that cold shower and then I'm gonna get up with the Sun so therefore it can program me as our sun gaze before the Sun get up to a certain point in the sky right so for me these are keys of living right so it recessed my circadian rhythm so I'm not off balance with my body and my work schedule right so when we talk about mental health and physical health these are things that the general uh consensus of people should know but because you know the pharmaceutical companies and you know these food companies Run the World they don't want you to know actually how to live in tune with you know your human Rhythm why because the sicker you are the more they get paid right so if you teach black people Health you are robbing a consumer base if you teach black people to be owners you're you're robbing tenants from landlords that other cultures have when they come and take our money so when we talk about that 1.6 trillion spending power they look at that as these are my customers y'all can't be educating my customers away from me right because we benefit off your ignorance so this is the reason they don't like when we have forms of financial intelligence and we're teaching people all these different aspects because we're robbing the fast food companies we robbing big Pharma right we robbing all of these people are they consumer base but I don't mind doing that right because they're taking advantage of our ignorance so I want to Enlighten Us in these areas and it changes our spending habits my brother we gotta what we got to do and I always say this is divorce ourselves from this culture here in America and create our own culture because we have our own people teaching us how to eat honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us how to eat to live that's what I've been doing that forever my father as well right so we have we don't take each other serious and we should what's more what's more brilliant than a black mine look at our country all right so so think about this black people we we make up something like 28 of the world's population all right they call you minority but that's that's cap they're the minorities you feel me they're nine percent of the population we're 28 so Pete so you have black people in Africa South America India here but right here look at all that we're doing look at the culture that we export to the world billions of dollars rappers are the are Gods you feel me and it used to be like ah that'll that ain't gonna last and it came out of a place of of not having we couldn't afford equipment playing with Mom's records you know what I'm saying chanting in the park till uh multi-billion dollar industry and only rap music gave birth to like the big uh uh clothing brands associated with an artist or a person you know what I'm saying there's no rock and roll clothing brands you feel me but no not to rock but what I'm saying is not just entertainment look at sports right Sports people look at that as I always just athletic whatever but that's intelligence that takes intellect to be able to manipulate you manipulate your body through the physical Universe like a LeBron James or or Floyd Mayweather you know what I'm saying that's brilliant that's brilliant brain activity um science you're Neil deGrasse Tyson so whomever so why don't we take ourselves serious but we have to you know what I'm saying we have to listen to each other because we're so brilliant you know what I'm saying and people have such you know they Market they market like filth to us they Market trauma to us like you know well we're getting beat up by cops shot by cops whatever like that's the reality of us nah they be wrong they'd be bowing down to us too they don't show you that you know what I'm saying so we have to really reprogram ourselves if you don't program yourself they're going to keep programming you so we have to re really reprogram ourselves we have to really tap into ourselves spiritually mentally physically all of these things you know what I'm saying she said something earlier that's it makes it's so profound but it's so simple go outside for a mental health check take a walk in the park on the beach on the Brit whatever just get outside ride a bike you feel me so we really need to do these things when we don't when we were just inundated with the programming on our smartphones and TVs or whatever you're going to stay in a cloud of confusion not loving yourself not loving the people that look like you you know what I'm saying and we gotta really reprogram ourselves yeah we're gonna do that I'm outside challenge you know what I'm saying that's it that's the I'm outside like go outside for real it is crazy we got to make it a challenge but you know if you're gonna put it on social media you might actually be happy about doing it right so we're going to start that I'm outside challenge man so it especially take somebody from the hood outside you feel me they don't never go outside unless they doing the wrong activities but like and I mean outside in the nature you feel me I'm not just talking about on the Block you feel me like find a park literally find the tree find somewhere where your mind can flow and express itself and it's not around man-made contraptions um but thank you give a round of applause to my brother Michael sheet did you have something to say brother I was gonna let him find any say a word no or give a question to us or no no are you chilling man ain't chilling I'm just here all right I'm gonna stand up Michael she's sat down how y'all doing tonight I'm a student right here right I don't usually get the opportunity to ask a question but you said it's either ask a question or give a word I'm gonna ask y'all what y'all want me to do ask a question from my lens to the brother or share something bad so if y'all know who this brother is you get some good games so yeah I might have gypped y'all simple go ahead so the the level of which we operate is that we're growing in business one of the things I learned is that we've been idolizing the wrong people and so what I ask is that a lot of times we don't respect lawyers one of the best people lawyers or hey lawyers right boom so but as we grow and we start dealing with contracts lawyers attorneys and people like that is the ones who negotiate a lot of people Deal completely unnecessary and make language lengthy so they they make a reason to get paid lawyers up the whole world you're not gonna get up here and start fighting for lawyers all right no no no no no that's why I'm asking you that's okay huh ai go to AI for lawyers now okay and then give it to your lawyer they're getting they get paid I hate lawyers and I hate accountants okay they me over everything I've ever done at a professional level they create things to pay for and that's time so it's never advantageous for them to solve anything because that's when they stop getting paid so lawyers and accountants have gotten me into every problem that I've gotten at a professional level it's about knowing the law or knowing what you want their lawyer to write telling them to do that quick because they create beefs amongst each other this unwritten law to waste as much time as possible because again it's not advantageous for them to solve anything because that's when they stop getting paid so it's about you to know the law and usually the language they put law in is supposedly uncomprehensible so they're the only ones that can tell you what the means but all that matters is what's actionable and what you can support law doesn't mean anything unless you have the tolerance to go to court for it which means you have to pay a lawyer to actually fight it's a pain in the ass I I hate lawyers y'all learn something but now one of the things is that what you just said is that then I was going to send that because I I kind of I watch you and study you enough how does a person because Keys you're one of the ones that break the language down how does one break a contract down using AI because a lot of times now we think we need lawyers and things like that to come in place just tell them what you want to accomplish you know I want that person to get what's fair for publishing I want the proper split industry standard for this that or the third it's just about wanting to know the truth based on behavioral pattern right okay so what's the average legality or what's the average contract for fashion or whatever the category is what's the average contract for music when it comes to this and then that's when you bring that to a lawyer and see what they say AI to me is like a paralegal but what does it look like negotiating for Equity at this point you make your own company you asking for equity and something that somebody else does it doesn't make sense to me that's not my game my game is I create something and I sell it I I don't like I hate this game of giving someone advice on how to make themselves hot and then having an expectation of like you should have ownership in their brand you have to stand behind your own brand put that in a product and you have to sell it and relationships don't mean anything if your product is whacked you have to have good product this relationship thing for me has never worked relationships don't mean anything unless your product is good so a relationship means that you're gonna like me even if my product is whack because I'm a nice guy that's not you know if your work is good they stand online and there's not a relationship because that's a con like yo cause I'm your friend you're gonna sell my I want you to sell my because it makes you money no matter whether you like me or not and that's my Approach I'm not the fit in approach I'm not the nice guy approach I'm the my work is so good that you have to buy an approach that because it's based on things that are like you know based on creativity and inspiration and not just because you're making it for money approach like I'm not about to break I'm about the creativity and monetizing it in a fair way and knowing what's deserved but relationships haven't done for me all they've done is make it where people are jealous and they try to take credit for the things I've done it's about good work being nice that nice guy doesn't work it doesn't a lawyer could be useless now he's usually 100 a lawyer is useless to a person that knows how to use and what they looking for you know what I'm saying because at the same time everybody can't represent themselves in court right because everybody don't have the ability to communicate well everybody could represent themselves in court they could but they won't they can't because you know I've been to court and I remember having a lawyer and telling them what to do but you know if I knew that if I had AI now and possibly if I had that knowledge but at the same time you don't always want to show up as your own representative right so you know we know with black people we already behind the eight ball when it comes to fighting for some justice so for me I'm always seeking and looking for Solutions I understand what you're saying I understand what you're saying you know in the Advent of somebody that's looking for a resource always tell people don't ask me something that's googleable but in this instance right I want you to ask the question because it Sparks a question that somebody may have on where to get started right so open AI is one of them but my bro actually created AI dot Warehouse where it has all of the resources and tools that everybody has used bill on the open AI because open AI you can go on there and say code me something and you can write a new website in five minutes and then you can go create a website right so we created the AI Warehouse so that people actually know what new tools are out there and I promise you probably for every single industry that somebody is in there's a new effective way a new tool that you can utilize yo income or outcome right now so you have a uh what's it called a website it's called ai.warehouse so you have a website that you have a website called AI dot warehouse and that's what that was all about nah we just got today if you could go to Ai and you could categorize it and put it into something it becomes a business within itself so AI you could create anything you want as well as a business where people ask for stuff and AI answers it so you have to architect the AI to make the business that you want without you having to do the physical work me I'm a creative I'm not about making money and and that might be counter business but I'm about creating things that inspire me so I did it before I know what it is to make money that's not off something that inspires me it's not good money it sucks making money with people you don't like sucks making money for people you don't like sucks I'm telling you that firsthand experience so I'm telling you for me from someone that made money off other people and things that weren't making me happy and people jacking my swag and making money off that and I can't give that to my children I had to be creative I had to make things I had to be inspired and there's no shortcut around that if you're here for the money get out of here you got to be here for the love and make money off the love so you have to figure out what you love to do right so I love making movies I love making books I love people learning from what I'm doing I love fashion I love making TV shows I love every vertical of what I'm thinking and I want to monetize that to the extent that is insanity but I gotta make a tangible off everything I think and being able to make something of what you think and what you love being able to package that up to be able to unapologetically sell that and so much so so much of it that your children's children don't have to work is the goal but the question and with the questions I want y'all to answer like for me if you ask me a question ask you got to tell me what your dream is first so I can know what language to talk to you in so I know where you're trying to get but at the end of the day your dream is to make yourself successful and to be happy while you're making yourself successful so some people's dream is yo I want to make money I want to be rich but do you want to be happy I want to be a rapper I want to be a singer but what does it look like when you a rap or a singer are you happy what makes you happy if you're not inspired to do something that creatively makes you happy if you only doing it for money you win the wrong game you can make money off the things you love but you just have to know how but you got to know what your dream is first but creativity and the Integrity of the process and the Art of what you're doing is all I'm fighting for they take credit off our art because we don't know how to monetize it I could tell you how to monetize your art but you got to know what your art is but all that Ai and all that other it doesn't matter if you don't know who you are AI is based on Behavior patterns just because someone else has a behavior pattern doesn't mean you got to have the same behavior path it's about being an individual it's about knowing how to Market up your individual in your your individuality and being able to sell it and I can tell you what it's like to work corporate it sucks I hated it I'm I'm a living breathing version of anti-corporate and of being completely independent and what that looks like in real time to say y'all because that's an important power to have you want me to do this that the third you I could do it myself and to actually do it so let me break down to you the fashion business and why I'm so happy and cocky right now foreign so with rockware with fat Farm with Fubu what would happen is we would get a deal with an infrastructure that could facilitate volume when they should have been renting Our Brands that's called the license they would say we'll give you this volume but you got to give up half of your company so for rocket for rockware it's me and Jay and then it's two Russians 50 50 which equals 25 to me they should not have liked they should not have owned that they should have been able to rent it we should have owned it it happened to all of us so I was like that's not happening again I'm not doing that it happened with Rachel Roy for me to be able to get into Macy's I had to sell I had to do a license with Jones New York because you have to sustain laws a billion dollars worth of it and for that license they want a half of the brand I only ended up with 25 percent so I said forget all that I'm gonna make my own brand based on me something I could pass to my family and I developed CEO for years just socks certain Goods being in retail I gave it away I just had to be able to sustain for like five to ten years and now I've been able to do that deal where I can license and do volume but they license they don't own it I'm able to make my daughter the creative director where I couldn't do that before that's what my fight has been for the last 10 years for me to have an individual brand that's based on me not based on how good I am and promoting somebody else or jacking somebody else's I had to Jack my own and I'm not giving away half a value but I had to know that all of us are a victim to that Puff Russell me FUBU Rachel but it's a different day now because I know the business and now I could teach y'all the business it's about having a product that you own putting it into something and selling it nobody like I'm not paying you to tell me how to be cool I'm cool enough I'm not paying I don't want to get paid for a service I want to sell a product so the challenge to you is what's your product what's the creative process behind it if you think putting your logo in a blank is fashion that's not fashion if you're into the business of movie making it's about doing something that nobody's done before and be able to monetize it my hustle isn't actually talking about getting money Marshall is getting money and I can't make enough of it to look at it that's been my problem I can make money all day but I'm I'm I'm so inspired every day there's so many wars to fight that I'm not asking for that I just bet it all on everything that I believe in I'm not saying that's the right thing to do but this is what it looked like this is not for everybody this fight is not for everybody not everybody can do this I have no expectation of everybody doing this but I can tell you exactly the steps I could tell you what it looked like and I could tell you how it feels it feel good pause [Applause] and there was no question I just went off on the tangent pull one of my moves but that's where we're at okay all right we got one more question they're all your friends what's the same questions huh the questions is all your friends in the front row this is the road y'all wanted to give this is the French Road questions yeah I got a friend bring them up there with Tommy Duncan or the brother all right come to the front cause he keeps overwhelming me with friends let me let me I just want to say this let me get a look I want to hear Duncan just sold this company for 120 million I was gonna say that congratulations all right come on up Tommy Duncan but ask your friend did I asked my friend and and they more than friends they peers you fears these are these are truly not even on some friendly these are people I respect because they move in the world and they impart they will on reality so you know like I said when people come I'm always bringing somebody it ain't just about me it's about what I'm connected to I brought myself out you didn't tell me he was doing that but I didn't know you wanted to you already yeah I'm talking about Front Row first Tommy what you got what's happening I don't have a question I'm sorry but I do have something to say though all right so let's do it real quick so if we just visualize this circle all right yeah Circle just visualize it could you just tell them about you saw your company 120 million dollars a few years ago and I don't care yeah healthcare industry sold 120 million dollars build it from the ground up from nothing we made a movie together we made a movie Dame is a director and my partner in the dude is brilliant it's unfucking believable this dude is so talented it blows my mind because I have no Talent I'm one of them dudes I you know you can just make 120 million that's all no because I got a lot of hustle in me and I take risk I'm gonna take but here let me go back to my circle so let's say we have a circle we got the circle and just imagine everyone most people are in the circle 99.9 of people are within the circle that circle is called the rat race that means you have to make enough money to pay your bills then there's point one percent on the outside of the circle those people have enough money where their money makes enough to cover all their bills and live a luxurious lifestyle all right I've gotten on the other side of that Circle okay James on the outside of that Circle but the point I want to make to you is the lines of the circle those are the laws that's the status quo that's what you're not supposed to do so if you want to go on the outside you got to bend the circle you got to break the lines maybe you gotta take the risk right I missed the high risk that's really who I'm all about like I gotta I take my shirt off right now you'll see a tattoo says high risk take the risk you get the reward now you can't be stupid right you don't want to get in trouble legally because then that's terrible so you have to be smart about your risk taken but take the risk all of people in here entrepreneurs that want to be take the risk and do it I built this company I sold 120 million and I had a full-time job living in another state and I got you know everyone was curious about how did Tommy Duncan do this I was 30 years old well I did it because I took a whole lot of risk okay today I flew on this Airline from LA to Oakland it wasn't private it was this dope thing called jsx this is what I'm going to tell you I told you about sex too by the way yeah damn Tom he puts me up on game on everything right but I'll put him up on the Rings though cause you know he told me your kids got rings I got rings too government is the best client to have in the planet of American Wealth is built on government contracts the Tesla Amazon data wealthiest because of government contracts you don't have to have a product Dame is all about probably have a product if you have it or you go get your contract and get you some money and that government keeps coming you know they just couldn't come he go to sleep and still coming it's coming it's coming it's coming here's the deal jsx Airline I got on this Airline it's not private it's a real Airline I got on this airline in two minutes they didn't check my bag didn't check my body I'm an airplane with 30 other people I could have had anything on me they didn't check they told me this whole concept of going through security FDA that's not required but the entrepreneurs who did jsx they just did it they didn't wait for what they thought to be status quo what they thought to be legal and not legal right so you can work for a company do something outside of your company can do whatever you want to do to make your dreams come true so anyway take the risk is all I got to say I didn't I didn't pass you that money I passed it back to Larissa [Applause] thank you brother for that that was great I only had one thing you were talking about doing film how do you get a film into the theaters independently what does that distribution deal look like or what is that channel so AMC has an independent film kind of thing you could just Google it and you could kind of put your film there and so I made this movie with Tommy about his life and his family's life we put it in festivals and I just went to AMC and they actually gave me a 40 theater deal and the cut [Applause] like like you know it's about understanding the ways you can make money off that asset there's a theatrical but then there's like you license it you can you can put it on 2b2bees the way for everybody it's not a stack but everybody can get there but they do pay out very well and then it's about licensing the movie your television rights your cable rights your streaming rights your International and then you have you know all the other things old school DVD or whatever it is CDS whatever it's about residual income if you make something that's good it can make you money forever if you capture it digitally you know but it's a process and it's not an overnight thing to get your money right back like it's not like you're gonna re-up overnight and and but for me the dream was to be able to make the movie and not have to worry about distribution to be able to establish distribution theatrically with AMC Theaters you know when I did movies and I would license them to Lionsgate they give me 10 Theaters I got 40. I just know that if you do it yourself and you just take the time to see what they're doing you could do it it's about the p a but everything is social media right now you could Target your audience based on algorithms it's almost too easy in AI so if you know exactly the subject matter you're talking about you can you can Target your consumer and based on algorithms and and and and and behavioral patterns you know exactly what's going to happen you know but for me all that I just really want to be creative I want to make the coolest things I want to get at Woody Allen I want to get at everybody that everyone respects as it relates to movies and showcase the experiences that I love that have inspired me and those aren't the experiences of hearing me historically getting beat up I'm sick of seeing movies about us getting beat up I'm sick of seeing movies about us hitting each other too hard or so hard why can't they show those visuals like when I travel and I'm going into these markets every single Market I go into there's a black woman that's bought mad real estate for cheap and that is rolling now but doesn't want to tell anybody how they made it because they're scared that they're a Target to get it taken away so black wealth has generally had to hide and not be able to show an example of what it looks like my thing is we should be entitled not to be like happy to fit in we deserve that seat at the table and we need to Showcase what it looks like and those are the movies that we need to make but when they're paying for our movies they're paying for what they can monetize our dysfunction you know and they're going to pay to put the patterns in to the world in the universe that have consistently been controlling us so it's for us to make our movies it's easy for us to distribute them and for us to actually make the money as a creative but we ought to be good at what we do we got to be better than them we can't be good for black we got to be better we got to study the art that's a fact and we have to understand how to be better than the product that's out there but I could tell anybody that wants to make a movie This Is It a movie doesn't have to be more than 70 minutes that's 70 pages the first 23 pages are the introduction to the characters the next 23 pages the conflict the next 23 pages is the resolution and that's all you need to be able to tell that story visually and aesthetically making it look good musically and there's so many other things you can Showcase in that visual that showcase your point of view you can sell so many things in content you just have to know how but yeah to put it out theatrically make a good movie put in theaters to put it in uh festivals and then talk to AMC and now that I'm the plug I can actually help that as well I distribute over 50 to 60 movies on 2B other filmmakers other than myself it doesn't mean they're going to get rich it means they'll be they'll have the opportunity to get rich but it's on them to promote and when you put out a movie you just have to go market by market social media activations it's easy to do ads locally on television Instagram Tick Tock Facebook and you could even rent the theaters as well you know it just takes a minute but you can do it I think that's a dumb question because you know even when I think you told me that before and I didn't realize how easy it was right A lot of times we don't ask the question and we got these dreams and it feels like it's all these bears in a way right but we really probably just never researched it before right and and I didn't have questions back in the day that took me years to get answered because I feel like I needed somebody in front of me to tell me rather than just do the research right and you fail at 100 of things you don't try right so for me it's like when it comes to the media side because we've been really heavy on this and it comes back to AI like now they got things where you know they doing text to video but also text the sound one of the biggest things in movies for me when I look at a high quality movie versus what's considered low budget or bootleg is the sound quality right it'd be off you can tell it wasn't there for real so now they got these tools where you know you can imprint sound in there because you got to create all the sounds artificially and it sounds high quality that's that's called sound design right but I'm saying they can start doing that with AI sound design let me let me finish most people don't know to do something I know but so I'm just telling you that but when it comes because this is what we do right on the back end right because we created a hit show right and I got my brother mechi shout out to him right here he the one who do all the magic to make everything work like we shot it we looked at it in a way where the way they shoot documentaries when we do the music we do the b-roll and sometimes we talk about things that they don't have b-roll for because they don't have a lot of black b-roll so we had to go utilize mid journey to create our own b-roll as well right and then when we put out the posters for things we always do it like it's a movie right so the way we roll it out we roll it like out like a show we roll it out like a movie and then we're going to have certain episodes that we're going to put in theaters right because if I can fill up this space of course I can fill out a theater with a red carpet and a lot of things that I do it's just to change the element around it right like we look at education as a luxury right rather than as a necessity so instead I'ma design it like a luxury right so now you're going out there the same way you go at the luxury things right so now I get to cut into your Netflix time when my quality is the same versus with somebody they might be spitting some high level knowledge but the quality is low level right so instead we make sure everything that we do is of a high quality so we can compete with the escapism out there so instead yeah we might be teaching you but most people even when they it's like when a person make a a good shirt design that's conscious they want everybody to buy because of what it says rather than the design so when we focus on like sound design and we focus on set design and we focus on making sure that everything is color graded and the marketing is correct now we can actually compete with the industry makers right but other than that it's going to look bullet people go treat it bullet because if you don't put that quality into it then you ain't putting that love in it and people ain't gonna treat it like that so the industry is at Art yeah absolutely so when you make movies you have to respect it as an art you can't think just because you want to make a movie that you're going to know everything that comes with it but like if you don't know and I noticed from from experience if you don't know about sound design if you don't know that if a pen makes a sound you have to recreate that sound then it won't get done and someone that actually knows that art and studies that are will know that you don't look at it as an art right so like a lot of times when you do a business you have to stimulate verticals you have to do fashion but you know merch is just putting your logo on a blank but the art of fashion is cut and so and how it fits on it's a process every vertical is an art and you have to respect the art and you don't want like a like you could ask AI what element of the art do I have to worry about but really that's going to be the difference is if you ask AI to do the art for you or if you're going to be that person that really focuses on the art of your point of view and if you respect it as an art and that's what comes with good taste so right now like Montclair just did a whole delivery AI design it wasn't completely right you said who did Montclair okay and it wasn't completely right but it was done by a computer it's going to be like the difference between vinyl and digital if you're actually the person but regardless if AI can tell you what to do you still got to respect the art to have to be an individual if you want to do fashion don't ask AI understand the art of fashion of cut and soul of patterns of sourcing Fabric and all everything that comes with it or you won't have a certain kind of respect if you want to be in movies you can't just shortcut that and ask AI I don't respect that because I'm really understanding and learning it and really doing it that's going to be the difference between Ai and then the management of AI by someone that really respects the art and the process like right now when Japan and China whatever it is they got like 30 albums or songs out that are completely AI I learned that on tick tock man I'm telling you Tick Tock tells you everything right now but my point is it it that's going to be a market for AI but there's always going to be a market for things that aren't about Behavior patterns about you creating your own algorithm understand how to manipulate it but don't just ditch the creative process and the and the respect for the art I respect music that's why I do live instrumentation right now I respect movies I respect fashion I respect curriculum no shortcut for me you could do a shortcut but you're shortcutting yourself for actual experience but I'm still going to address AI but I'm never gonna shy away from learning the art respecting the art don't have any expectation of making money from an art if you don't know the art don't shortcut that it's disrespectful if you're going to be in music learn it if you're going to be in movies learn it let AI help you and assist you but you got to respect the art that's you know where the Integrity for me comes in that's why I think I'm cool cause I don't make money off other people I really do it if I do a movie I'm a direct it I'm gonna make the movie I'm gonna write it I'm gonna act in it I'm gonna make the clothes in it I'm gonna distribute it that's the art to me is for me to Showcase my point of view on so many verticals and then be able to monetize it without compromise letting somebody else pay for your means that you're not working for their art and their point of view the art is to be able to accomplish something unapologetically without compromise in luxury and to figure that out I'll use the AI to make certain things that I want to do easier like all right answer certain things but when it comes to the creative I'm not with AI like that I'm going to create the algorithm and the behavior pattern that AI studies that's my art and that's what I want to challenge y'all to Aspire to do as well the round of applause there's a lot of things that's going to come and go there's a lot of things that's going to pass but you can't kill the passion trying to get there too fast and you won't appreciate it and depreciating the art won't allow you to enjoy life right so what we're trying to not trying but what we are doing is installing you to help you understand how to control the future a lot of you all go through a lot of emotions and a lot of thoughts and feelings trying to figure out what you want to do as you start using these machines they're gonna start feel like they're using you and you can get disconnected to who you are right so the art of living is Detachment take a step back understand your options and strategize in life step into the art of it so you can understand your way you understand me there's a way to everything whether you're a janitor whether you're an artist there's a way of an artist understanding the different breast sizes understanding the The Strokes understanding the different paints to use they understand the way of a painter right it's the same thing when you're a musician you understand the way of the instruments and once you understand the way of it you're living the art of it right The Art of Living has been greatly lost for Our Generation because we want everything microwavable and we want everything artificial right whether it's artificial intelligence ingredients dissemination everything is artificial these days and that makes you depreciate life and now you disconnect it right so being able to step back into an appreciation of Life allows you to live at this point where you get adrenaline from The Passion of the things that you do and it's no longer money based you don't want money to ever become your God because then they can use money against you and then that becomes your weakness and then you get the money and you still don't feel alive and I believe that's what Dame has been talking about this whole time so as we talked about those core values I hope you all been thinking about them this whole entire time because like I said our culture can tell you they top five rappers quicker they can tell you their top five core values and that's destroying the Integrity of what we call culture cultures at the antipsy it's at the root right you can't build anything unless you get the court you're right right so if the values of the culture is not right then you can't build nothing off that culture right that's the foundation of our connectivity and our identity towards each other I don't believe in connecting with somebody because they black I believe in connecting with people who are ethnically the same as me we have the same Mission the same values the same ideas the same identities as far as what we believe life is and it's easy to cleanse over certain ethnicities within our culture because a strong black man is not represented in media right because they can say well listen we're going to make this quota but we're not putting the Muslim conscience up there no we're going to make fun of that in media so you have to create a way to represent yourself right and so everything that I do is about my own self-representation I want something that my brothers and my peers and my the people that's here and the sisters can see because they like damn it don't exist if we don't see it right we even they even killed Brown wakanda they gave us one imagination and then killed him off so that means that we can't continue to wait on them to build out the imagination for us to farther our dreams and reality out of no that means they continue to control us so we have to get to this point where we have complete autonomy and power and we talked about technology not to become Reliant but to be conscious of it because it's all around us and most of the things that we do we're being controlled by it but you're just not thinking about it intentionally on a daily basis but we've been robbed of our spirituality because we don't even think about it on a daily basis how many times you think about God and your beliefs in your spirit versus you think about your issues and your problems and your complaints most people connect on a traumas rather than the healing process in their dreams their vision and their goals so you have to learn to detach from those things so you can stop being reactionary and you can start becoming revolutionary can I get everybody to stand up we in Oakland man we in the home of the revolutionaries right we're in the home of the Panthers we're in a home or you're a black Muslim Bakery you understand me we're in a home of so many different times and points in history where we was able to take advantage of that spirit because we didn't just see things right and react to them we see things and we was revolutionary to them we put some action to it we asked the brothers and sisters to come together for a common cause so that we can demonstrate our spirit on who we were because freedom is something different in those days Freedom don't mean the same thing today so we have to reconstruct the idea of freedom justice and equality in our daily mission we have to learn to take an oath towards each other that I protect my brother I protect my sis if you down I got you I'm gonna hold you up we're gonna help each other we gonna collaborate but without an oath we can't hold each other to no standards and no accountability policemen got an oath the sheriff got an oath right the judge got an oath the fraternities got an oath but everybody can call themselves black and they can call yourself a brother but you will never take an oath to that person go ask the people in your friend base right now damn would you really take an oath of my down and you go help me right and then if you're not there then I gotta cut you out because you broke your oath so for me I'm all about taking this off so that we get to the highest level because we only dangerous if we work together we're not dangerous divided I'm 19 keys this Dame Dash it's been dangerous Solutions [Applause] [Music] we're here for progress we're here for freedom we're here to heal black men I see you black woman I see you I feel there's some guys in the building tonight [Applause] we all had different Cycles but when you recognize the thing that you're going through is just a cycle and you understand that cycle is a will it's circular by Nature time is a cycle see we have to learn the mathematics of the universe because we weren't taught how to identify the cycles and the patterns and The rhythms and the frequency to where we can Master our world and we have the ability to control our thoughts and everything that happens so what I want to see us to do is focus on our creative imagination focus on imagining a better world designing a better world and then execute because that's how I know we're well working on people right if we have ideas in their abroad that means that we're giving birth to something it's the internal processes of your own mind that command your actions and when you have the ability to take control through awareness now you have the ability to fully function or control yourself stay high level high level power level
