all right now based on and it's a measurement and I say C minus rapper because a lot of his shows was in losing shoes the Blue Horizon the Stinger Jesus Christ [Applause] Philadelphia you can't get out the city without without paying homage to the spots where the real ones go to when you talk about losing shoes right you know they had Party City no no that was his spot that was his hey thank you everybody knows losing shoes now I don't know how many concerts Gil had there but I know the bus stops at the bus stop he knew these spots he know I'm not lying I get him I'll give him no Bush I'll say New Market Cabaret maybe yeah back in fact in the parking lot he may have done the Stinger so what I'm saying is this that's on the grind you gotta go through the Stinger you can't get to them I was in jail and I need to know this Kev okay so these [ __ ] that's what you was doing your thing you was doing your come up and I call home I'm talking to Gil he said man he was with my guild his mom man she did some crazy [ __ ] last night was it a time that you went to a guild party and my aunt was on some crazy [ __ ] uh I got to be honest with you man no no I've never seen your aunt on crazy [ __ ] uh I've never seen Gill in a party-like environment through that period I knew about Gil I knew about the streets I knew about major figures I knew about all the successes they were having in that time but you got to remember I was the guy in the Hood from the hood but that wasn't acting with the hood like I wasn't allowed to do all this [ __ ] I didn't have all that freedom I was a dude with all the extracurricular activities I was on the swim team I was I was [ __ ] going way out to the Northeast I was going out to New York I was in Virginia you was on a swim team I was on swim team PDR Philadelphia Department of recreation that movie called PDR was based off of my Swim Team all right now now it's a bootleg swimmer I was like call me bootle if you want brother I'm the real deal he's a real deal he can swim from here to Africa but I want to say this Kev you think my [ __ ] body is like this a real question though you said something that's very important and I think a lot of people hear this a lot of young people hear this you said you have real activities in your life because you had appearance that you know not saying that a nobody else parent that focus on making sure that you was busy and you was active yeah how important was that and you know because a lot of parents are going to hear this to the success of you in that day it was uh that was extremely important yes I mean you in the inner city so in any environment Hood no hood uh kids without activities have nothing but time on their hand we got that time on your hand that's when you get you know that's when you get stupid that's when you do dumb [ __ ] right okay I like that yeah you just be running around well that's what you just you don't have nothing to do so you creating [ __ ] to do dude let's play Knock a [ __ ] in the head today let's rob somebody that's it today looks like a good day to take somebody sneaks right like this yeah you start doing that type of [ __ ] uh you know I was what do they call it I was being constructive with my time um and my mom made sure that I didn't have any free hours so from 8 A.M in school to 7 p.m at night or 8 p.m at night I had [ __ ] to do I didn't have I didn't have the world of freedom to go out hang on I wasn't on the stoop by the way not that I didn't want to be on the stoop because I did I wanted to be on the stupid I wanted to be out there I wanted to be out there I wanted to sit out there and talk [ __ ] with my friends and and you know you didn't seemed to be cool you had dreams of hanging with us on the corner up area absolutely I'm not even gonna sit up here and fake it as if I didn't because my brother was a part of that yes my brother was my brother was the real deal from our household he had those stamps so my credibility came from the credit that he got and that's where my pass is to walk around and be free and cool and nobody [ __ ] with me came from so those badges were earned they weren't given but I didn't have to do the [ __ ] that he did and he made all the dumb mistakes so my mom was like I'm not gonna let you do the [ __ ] that I let him do he didn't have the curfew he roamed and did what the [ __ ] he want my brother was in our jail sold drugs um you know went to the Army out of the army he was that child so with me they didn't give me the free range so swim team basketball team uh I mean you talk about doing school programs in the summertime furthering your education all of that [ __ ] I didn't have a choice so the strictest side of life is what was presented and I'm glad like you don't you don't reach the benefits of that until you get older and you're like okay what do they do what does all that [ __ ] do for me um I'm consistent because of it I I don't do anything halfway and the idea the idea of not being mentally occupied is frowned upon to me like that's that's the worst that's the worst [ __ ] of it to not to not have something to do or to not have a goal or something that I'm working towards uh I don't I don't understand what life what life would be but that's him better than me so it definitely taught you discipline absolutely absolutely and and you know when you start to see those that made it and those that didn't I don't fault anybody in their choices but you see what you see the circumstances that came from my environment right and you know not a lot of them end up being positive it was it's a one-way Road and that that road either is to death a jail and we lost a lot of people from area a lot of [ __ ] people a lot of a lot of people that I really knew know in jail or dead um came from my [ __ ] my space of comfort where I lived where I operated on the day-to-day from the goddamn apartment to the bus stop to school from seeing the people what up hey what's going on speaking book bag and hand kid in hand and you slowly stop seeing people and the stories never change it was it was social such got shot yeah it was all the songs got locked up let me ask you

from New York La certain places coming from Philly how hard was that grind to get to where you is today I'm talking about the ground level thing when you was just I don't think there's a better I don't think there's a better environment to grind from yes I don't think there's a better when you when you compare Philadelphia to other places it's tough because the support that the city gives to you only comes after you have proven yourself yes it is not it is not automatic it is not because you from the city because you get on the stage because you think you got talent we're supposed to back and support it's earned and with comedy you know in the city that [ __ ] was tough like that's like you're you're you're performing in front of the people whose idea of laughing in the beginning is laughing at your demise our idea of laughing isn't laughing at you being funny it's in hopes of you going up not being funny because that's what we find the funny like you I was in the I was in an environment where the [ __ ] was showing up right like the amateur nights where you just got 15 [ __ ] and they sitting out there and they come for the boo they come for the for the ignorance um so you you build you build the you build a nice a nice world of [ __ ] it it's gonna be what it's gonna be in this one I'm gonna do then I'm gonna do it and then the confidence grew as you start making them laugh if I'm making y'all laugh then I'm gonna be all right cause y'all vicious if I'm making y'all laugh right I'm gonna be okay if I'm starting to turn the tables and this this room is starting to turn over these people are starting to turn over my confidence is starting to get better and when you start to get people show up I remember amateur nights when people used to show up and oh we hope low calf the bastard is coming to perform oh we hope that God's coming back I started to get a little a little a little bravado about me and um then the comics I can I can shout out to the Philly Comics man I can go down uh from two Ray Gordon Buckwild uh Big Jay oakerson at the time um you know Tommy too smooth um I can go Keith Robinson I can go uh of course my my guys uh Spain Court Naim Lin but back then um Denny live um I gotta go d-lee uh um I gotta go like there was this there was this um there was this room of funny and this room was deemed Philly funny like you know the people that were uh I gotta go B-flat um the the comedians men women that were in this room that were part of this environment they were the [ __ ] and let me ask you the question when you was back in that environment at that time was it looking like you was going to be the one that go no and here's why because you don't you don't know what that means you're you're not associating stardom with the craft in the beginning yeah the stardom is being amongst the peers that are doing it right the stardom is being able to get on stage time the stardom is the city going right that's my idea of stardom that's my idea of making it at that moment so every tier that presented itself became the next idea of what was stardom right you don't see this level right until the level presents itself you like oh [ __ ] and you look back you go God damn I came I was all the way back there and I'm now right so the idea of movies the idea of touring Arenas that was not that was not the idea that was not what I was doing for I was doing it because I was like this is what I want to do man Eddie Murphy the coolest [ __ ] live damn man if I could only I just want to get on stage I want to feel that I want to get that love how do I get that love um that that was the goal so Philly Philly put me in a position to not to not care about the doubt right right like you you once I started to make a little teeny bit of money doing comedy in Philly well then I feel like I can I can make it all over yeah I can I can go and do it and then the transition was to New York but it started in Philadelphia right Philadelphia to this day is a place where people do [ __ ] there's like a little hesitation of God damn man I don't feel like dealing with these people right oh [ __ ] right go to Philly goddamn man I hope these crowds because I know they be rough yeah there's always a little anklet of in coming to Philly so you can't you can't rock my world of confidence because of my upbringing my environment and what I was true to especially in a place of comedy and those comedians I I can say those comedians in the beginning that I developed around you know they got a lot to do with it right those attitudes those personas that environment is necessary as needed you become a product of it so you're you're feeding off of that thing that you're around right so that was my environment the live house Comedy Club the new market Cabaret um oh my God lakies you talk about rooms you talk about him performing you [ __ ] around uh I was in those spots like 35 people type no not less I was in the the he was rapping Crab Shacks well I wouldn't follow them bro my rods was wasn't intended to the joints my [ __ ] was renting out the [ __ ] skating rinks with 3 000 kids there you know like spank over the chickens I don't know what you just said lose and choose you was doing you was doing karaoke night up to prison man yeah you know what I mean you was awesome it really is tough why aren't you trying

got to go Mom I love you but that's what I was like how was your partners like what because he would tell or I would tell it either way somebody got caught we both told them you remember the time you know see I've not always been an athlete he always got caught like you got until he been locked up at 11. he was my partner and I always went to jail because last time he was laying on the ground coz come out but you was like there was a moment where you were the real Dylan ball too much he went to off-brand college no I get that but I'm saying but there was a moment though we used the real deal in ball in the city too people Associated you with basketball heavy yes so at that point you still were you still were towing a line between being a loser being the [ __ ] the the street [ __ ] stick up no you gotta understand the some real [ __ ] is that I used to go to college right I would be in college I would come home and do stick-ups me and this [ __ ] would do stick ups and then I would go back up back to college like I had an apartment up Stanton Avenue off of Campus as well because I moved out my mom crib at 18. I never been back you feel me so like literally sleeping on the couch and you slept on the couch on the weekends and we would do armed robbers and then I would go back up to college that was the plan that was the move I mean that's all that's all we knew we started off at Berry Avenue you know how to start off your brother was out there yeah you start off you 11 you 12 they got the bamboo earrings it's 88 you snatching their Rings Wham oh you run the mics might give 100 being 50 You by time you come back they already on the xh client on their way to the day you waiting on the next subway stop to come up they so that's how it started off you know what I mean then as you get oldest like I don't want no [ __ ] hundred dollar earrings I'm trying to rob this whole dice game yeah and come up quick and you gotta understand and robberies that should be some of the fastest [ __ ] like literally is one minute and you got everything like that's why I never hustle growing up I never understood hustling growing up I'm like y'all [ __ ] get a pack y'all go stand on the corner y'all gotta sell that [ __ ] give him back a hundred dollars and y'all keep twenty five dollars no get that [ __ ] up oh oh everything one time that was my mentality yeah one time I had a [ __ ] up mentality yes he did one time we robbed a off-duty police officer and I told him about time we got to the car I don't think it's a good idea we need to give him his stuff back and he wanted to argue with me and I'm like cuz give it back to him let's he's a cop you've seen his bass let's do this back in the day so that's a limitation though I'm like let's just get he said why are you bitching I'm like I think it's the right thing to do either we gonna do the right thing or I'm gonna do the right thing because I'm gonna report this I think this needs reported I was gonna report it because it was like why is he doing this first of all he wanted to be a loser first of all first of all let's just keep it real we did not know that that [ __ ] was a [ __ ] cop the [ __ ] had the [ __ ] watch he was notified that he was we gave him back hold up hold up wait wait I'm a cop I'm a cop and I said I don't give [ __ ] what she is you better hug that [ __ ] tree [ __ ] he hugged the tree and I told him I don't think it's a good idea yeah while I don't sound like a good partner he wasn't he was a [ __ ] yeah done he put all the [ __ ] in your head he's like y'all I think they follow him [Music] let's go he was that's why he was the one that got they did the most time because he was the one with the conscience he was the one that whole time we threw knives right on we in the car stolen cop Glock would see notes in my hands I'm waving I'm like we should drop that gun off at the police station I'm like he in the back seat like this I think we [ __ ] up like we done this this we done like I don't think you know what we did shut the [ __ ] up the same way we are now that's just how we was

found my [ __ ] and had me when they got me it was like where the rest of it and I was like [ __ ] in the ground and that's when I seen that in the paper to me but you know the whole thing with that bus is they also knew I was a good kid so they didn't uh they didn't hold everything against me because they said I had a future so I was able to leave that [ __ ] behind you told us some [ __ ] last time yeah he told on some niggasy yeah that's cool I'ma ask you something important right they said you they said you was a you had a sweet load of cloud homicides a little dirty clothes he said you was a clown shoot [ __ ] everybody now now when success come Kev how do you deal with the close proximity entitlement from people that maybe came up with you in the game or family members how do you deal with entitlement when people say Kev the hard work you put in I want to benefit of that or I wanted you to finance the lifestyle that you don't live for yourself for me my circle is very small okay um my circle is extremely small it's not uh there's not a wide variety of individuals and Personnel around me like the through the Journey of success the same people have been there from the beginning to the end so the sense of entitlement I'll say that we face or that has reared its head in our friendship and our group um we've been able to nip it in the bud because of our our relationships like we're real friends real brothers right you know the the idea of checking someone or making one understand like when you're out of bounds out of pocket it's not as hard right but yes I think the expectations are just unrealistic with what people expect you to do because of your success people go you're there and you getting all this so why can't you just easily bring me on why can't you put me on and while you're trying to get on people expect you to do for them when you're still doing for yourself like I'm I'm just now in the position where I can really make the extension of an olive branch and make things happen for the people make real career moves for other people I'm just now at the point of real control when you still work for hire you still don't work for hire right but you can't explain that to people that don't have an idea of what that means like just because I'm in a movie I don't run that movie I'm not in charge of that movie I was hired to do the movie right lead or no lead I may work for hire so it's not until that change and you you now become the man that's in control of the machine like you really got the hat and you make the decisions and you're doing the cast and you're doing the budget and you're the partner with the studios because you're the studio now it's a completely different scenario but back then our our arguments are our I think our roadblocks that presented themselves were just based off of expectation and wants that weren't realistic right so my conversations was like dude you you're talking as if you're not with me and if you don't know me you're falling into the same space that people out there are supposed to fall into right it's like when everybody sees the basketball player get drafted the first thing they say is oh my God man he a millionaire you got so much money now he does it he doesn't have so much money now he just he just got drafted he hasn't even received his first check right but that first day on draft day people like hey man you know it's a good time and you think you can you just got 10 million oh my God man we know you got the money he doesn't have it right somebody's paid out through the duration of a year and it's paid out weekly and weekly is taxed and he's got a lifestyle he's got his bills taxes so he can't spend all the money because the money has yet to come but people are counting your money as if they know what the money is and how it's divvied up and that's the biggest problem with entitlement so when you talk about people's the pressure that people put on you well your rebuttal is don't have a lot of people that you gotta [ __ ] reply to you keep that number small because when it's small you're now having real conversations versus the [ __ ] is you talking about like like a bunch of those are draining yeah and people actually are receiving the things that you're saying and there's an understanding of why then that that that small group Grows Right and we don't get bigger in people we get bigger in knowledge and understanding and development right the report that we have is one that just can't be infiltrated and that's why I love my [ __ ] contained ass group right that plastic cup boy [ __ ] is for real like we we built it we stand on it we abide by it and it's still moving until this day yeah there's been some ups and downs but that nucleus of eight maybe nine tops that's life though ups and downs is a part of life it's the best you know what I mean but the the to show a true friendship and true Brotherhood is when you go through your ups and downs and you still together absolutely you know what I mean a lot of people go through ups and downs and then as I don't [ __ ] with him no more I don't well you really didn't [ __ ] with him absolutely you know what I mean so if they didn't do nothing that's that serious it stands the test of time right who's saying such time and then you know that that Envy thing plays a major part right like who's really happy for you who's really happy for your success genuinely happy who's who's really there and they're like dude it's so dope to see you do what you did like who's who's really looking at you guys in this space like God damn man that [ __ ] started here now they're here yo it's dope to see from the outside and watch you guys like where are you getting that energy from and where is it genuine I think that's the separation right because you got different looks that you receive you got to um I'm over here I've been doing this [ __ ] forever yeah now you right come on man like that's crazy like you got you got a bunch of those yeah that sounds familiar that's crazy that's crazy those add up absolutely but then when you do you do receive the genuine and you you you look at where it comes from man I think it's uh that's what makes it worth it that's that's the that's the ammunition and fuel that you need to not just know that you're doing the right thing but know that the trajectory right right like it's it's going to get bigger it can get bigger but with the right people around you your head can stay in the best spot ever right and I do credit my [ __ ] Circle my surroundings to me not going on the the crazy side of Hollywood or the crazy side of you know uh ego right or or just that that that mindset that you're bigger than you're bigger than the world and you can't be humble right like I'm I I'll say my my guys have done a great job guys household by the way I have been humble I've been sat down in more ways than one so I'd have been punched in the [ __ ] face by Life by the business and that helps as well but my Foundation definitely is one of the best pieces in this puzzle let me ask you this question being that you've seen all spectrums of the Arena you seen the UPS the highest I don't know if you can say the highest of the highs but on to me in this [ __ ] you the biggest [ __ ] you feel me but then you've seen some some down moments where you know that social media the Graham they they talking they chopping it up you know they talking they [ __ ] but then you come right back you hit them with some movies you hit it and you write back do whatever [ __ ] with your confidence uh you know when it's the best question you get because people really don't believe or or I don't think they think that I'm being serious when I give my answer um what you can't stop or control you can't stop or control right like what's done is done uh for the world real quick for instance if you don't know what I'm drinking is Grant Court Amino the best tequila that you can buy right now to christalino it's a clear Reposado uh making your business to get in this business and be a part of my business it's good business um sorry about that by the way this episode life ain't going your way yeah shot a New Amsterdam Vodka yes caught your [ __ ] cheating today yeah uh you thought you was going through the Kevin Hart concert but the tickets were sold out they didn't come your way now you could drink it straight up straight you can drink it on the Rocks you know you can you know drink it with juice soda or you could just make a classic New Amsterdam meal that's up to you but when you're out and about at your local liquor store make sure you guys get some and it's great for pre-gaming I'm talking about football season is now I don't know what city you're in if you're a Bears fan you're a you're a St Louis fan Eagles fan myself you know it's great for pregaming so when you're out and about make sure you get you some New Amsterdam Vodka the official vodka of bars through Sports in the presenting sponsor for a million dollars worth of game you know what guys I am all about Partnerships and let me tell you something Amsterdam Vodka if you do not understand it you should you got great Partners God damn it Partners the people that embrace the product that's dope [ __ ] good [ __ ] y'all I want to say this too I want to rename your crew dirty cup boys that's a dirty cup you drink I do it I knew it was dirty cups it's cool boy it's my fault so I'm gonna answer your question girls look the uh what you can't control you can't control right I am a my ability to process and be very realistic about the way that I process life's moments I feel is one of my biggest blessings right I don't engage in the world of [ __ ] God damn is bad well once it's bad well you can only think about how to then turn the good so my focus immediately goes to the work that has to be done to make something better right so when I've fallen when I stepped in the [ __ ] it's all right well I gotta go find some water to clean off my shoes and I'm not gonna throw my sneaks away I'm going to clean them good and I'm not gonna step in [ __ ] anymore I'm gonna look down before I walk now when I'm falling and it's time to get up I will am I just jumping back up which I sit down for a second before I get up look around all right people saw me fall whatever I'm not embarrassed about it Let Me Get Up Stand Up on my own and dust it off but shoulder is not a bad thing to fall like I'm that guy like so I think the best thing that can happen to any of us and I've said this several times is the world a [ __ ] up is the world a problem like you people are afraid to embrace that [ __ ] I'm not like Embrace The Good the Bad the Ugly right because that's how that's how the dope [ __ ] that's how the dope [ __ ] gets discovered right you don't know how dope the [ __ ] is until you've done the undoed right the undo makes you go okay now this is dope this is right right this is actually [ __ ] great right right right this is unbelievable you don't know how [ __ ] blue water can be till you've been in the water that's not that blue yo this board is dark as [ __ ] but you find it till you go over there and say yo God damn all right look at this [ __ ] over here everything is a discovery um I embrace the progression in Discovery so so entertainment moment life moment career moments personal moments I've been on all [ __ ] sides of the spectrum I've seen it all and I would not be in the seat that I'm in today I would not be able to handle the volume of [ __ ] that comes with sitting in this chair if I didn't go through all of the [ __ ] that I've been through right and and I do mean that right because now you're just able to see from every single lens I'm able to see from every single point of view I don't know everything I don't need to know everything I don't want to know everything when I do know how important it is to listen I do know how important it is to [ __ ] understand so I do my best to try to do that at the highest level and if and when I do great if I don't then maybe I need more help processing it I'll be patient enough until I get it right and eventually I'll be hard and it's hard to see through all spectrums through all lenses when you never failed well you know what I mean so failing is is you know it make you re-evaluate and make you you know people afraid to fail no yeah they're afraid to [ __ ] fail and that's what you know that's one of the biggest questions that I that I asked like it's it's the why you know if you if you're afraid to fail it means you're afraid to start right but you're afraid to start that means you're never really going to get an understanding or answer when it comes to the world of you doing what you want to do right yo I want to do such a sense but man I don't want to do it because they [ __ ] around and they probably ain't gonna work yeah they're probably not gonna like me well that means you're afraid to start right because you're already thinking about the thing that's going to be wrong so so there's a multi-layer in that space of fear right and if you're attaching it to failure you're going You're losing already right so I'm from the side of discovery I don't know what I'm not gonna like until I [ __ ] try it I don't know what I'm not going to be good at until I've tried to do it and realize it wasn't my cup of tea whatever that thing is you gotta try it you gotta do it and what I love the most about now about where I'm now is I'm able to give the information you know these [ __ ] books that I've been writing these audio books that I've been releasing um the last one was the decision uh that's on Audible this one I just put out is called a monsters and how to tame them and where can they get these books on Audible right these are these are audio books but the reason I'm bringing it up is this isn't me preaching it's not me talking at you it's me going I'm giving a tutorial of moments obstacles breakdowns uh presentations that the business and the life in the business presents wow I was in a world of not knowing what the [ __ ] anything was here's my mistakes I just want to tell you what the [ __ ] they were here's how I got better in dealing with them here's some of the things that [ __ ] caught me off guard here's how I handle what I'm doing I'm just giving information these little tidbits to something will be valuable yeah if we had more information and people shared information do you know how much further so many of us would be in our culture if [ __ ] wasn't so secret with their road to success or their journey of how they got to or their mistakes or mishaps do you understand how many [ __ ] people would have a much clearer Road in the place of business we were talking this morning about um just uh in a music business right they were just saying like you know when it comes to the younger artists and artists in these contracts and getting [ __ ] over et cetera et cetera and I was like in today's time these younger artists have access to the older ones

where he's going to Clark Clark Atlanta College he watched the episode that you was on where you taught people how to fix their credit right there from home he took that information and started his own Credit Company off of that he elevated his whole life mentoring at 18 years old he elevated his whole life man so I just want to commend you for that man because the [ __ ] you doing out here you got 10 000 mentees under you that I've seen personally a lot of them will you put in two 757 Delta Jets and flew him down to give events for free to see me and wallow and Ross and and magic and just everybody all types of employee made with Floyd so you know man I commend you for really controlling this business [ __ ] like you really do and showing people of our color of all colors and all nationalities that you could be a black man in this [ __ ] world and really went out here because your [ __ ] house [ __ ] it's best tackling that's just spectacular man he got he got he got invisible security [ __ ] like The Jetsons man you walk past the house you get too close you're gonna it's gonna throw you across the street right man that [ __ ] crazy Next Level tell us what you got going on man how you gonna help me follow us I want to give him another salute I just want to salute you because what you did this you want to stand together each achieve more teamwork make the dream work I seen you give resources you didn't you didn't you you said hold up don't compete with me come eat with me you gave resources to so many brothers man is that's doing anything brothers and sisters out here that's doing anything you put them in the circle you gave them resources right and you get them all information that they needed to amplify what they had going on so I salute you for that but go ahead yeah go ahead so tell us I appreciate it I appreciate it man it's so much y'all spoke on it I could I could lean in on but my you know while we do the Highlight is that we got to be able to understand that it wasn't a lot of people to Mentor us like we don't got a lot of mentors now and we can see that now we can be cool when it comes we can make it into rapid but we can understand the rap business so you got people that's you know taking their own money and learning how to be independent you got comedians like a Kevin Hart who's not only a comedian now he's a business owner a big time so we may have a talent of a rapper but we all got to be business owners we all have to be entrepreneurs and a lot of times we don't have the resources or somebody to mentors on the business side now we're learning and we know it's cool so now it's time to start like really turning it up when it comes to business right and that's my thing is that I want to train people like I don't want I don't want to say yo paying for something I want to give you something for free but I want you to come and work with me live I want to earn your trust I want you to really see like ask me questions I want to work with you live I want you to be able to ask me questions and so we can actually dedicate the information to what it is that you do a lot of times is that I know you could buy courses I got every course under the center and Recession Proof but I want the the followers for me and I was worth a game and everybody who support to actually come learn live from me right because a lot of us don't know like they'd be like yo I can start my own business like you got people out there entrepreneurs or they in the rap they want to own trucks they want to do things they don't know that you know what banks that they can actually go to they don't know how to go like they don't know go to a credit union before you ever go to a bank you know you go start with your local credit unions first and that's how you establish your credit that's how you start because why they give larger lines you can go get 25 000 from uh uh fdu you can go get 25 000 from a Key Bank you know what I mean and that's what a lot of people don't realize so first tech is another one you can go get 25k on your personal go get 25 from that's three institutions I gave y'all that's 75k all you need is a a 710 720 credit score it don't even got to be nothing you know stupendous but they'll give it to you now when you go to Amex you have those larger lines if you go to Amex out the gate a lot of people got denials because they didn't have larger lines or they give you two thousand three thousand and if you only use uh uh 10 or 30 percent utilization of those cars at two thousand that's nothing it's crumbs so when you go get a 75 you gotta understand is this this is just for my entrepreneurs but I want y'all to understand you go to the credit unions first go to the credit unions they'll give you larger lines you let those sit six months to a year then you go over to your Amex then you go over to your Chase now you can just set up a LLC set your business up you don't got to go and do all of the the Grangers and set everything up you can still go get a 75 000 credit card on the business side imagine getting 75 from Chase 75 on the AmEx that's 150 000 that don't show up on your credit now we start figuring out what how do I leverage this and what businesses do I want to go into if you're a rapper you can now you got budget right you can afford features if if you're a comedian you need to travel you need to create content you need to you know be able to distribute to pay for advertisements do things to to re reenact funds to get funds back things you can do outside of that a lot of people not entrepreneurs how many people know that have you ever heard of jvzoo right people like nah how many of y'all out there heard of jvzoo right this is where it's called the JV it's for joint venture imagine that somebody has a business already imagine New Amsterdam Vodka they're already established and have a business and they told you I'll pay you to sell my stuff Oh see now you can go out there and you find businesses that have affiliate programs so if they got affiliate program you can go to jvzoo um plr hustle um and ClickBank is banks that you I mean is businesses you can partner with what they'll do is allow you to sell somebody else's product so imagine selling somebody else's product and getting paid for it yeah my goal is I tell people this is just one stream of income you can get the money from the banks and go sell somebody else's product and when and now people say well how do you sell what products do I sell which ones you want to sell ones that create monthly recurring Revenue so if somebody charges let's say you went in the credit repair shout out to rap215 right hand credit repair he uses uh credit repair Cloud it's 179 a month for the software guess what off that software for people who want to start a credit repair business you can go and if I send him that link right off that 179 I'm getting paid every single month when he get paid I teach people credit repair well when they sign up for a credit repair Cloud I get paid off of it I make sixty thousand dollars a month in affiliate fee from somebody else's business imagine if I took a credit card and I said yo I want to pay influencers to promote my affiliate link I don't got a following I don't got a business all I got is some money access to Capital and an affiliate link for somebody else's business damn I then pay an influencer to promote it so I pay influencer to promote it let's say I say um I go out there and I get a B Simone be Simone can you promote this link boom boom boom she agrees she do an ad I get paid off the her followers they send it to me I may pay these small 5 000 off a credit card here boom I got 25 000. I may turn around take her ad and go to Shady room take once once she make the ad it's mine I got it I go to the shade room put the same her ad her likeness put it on shade room with my link and I'm still getting paid as people sign up I get paid every single month owning out of business it's so much when it comes to like we say we can't make money we can't struggle like the goal is to to us to make a hundred thousand dollars a year at this point where inflation is going if you don't make at least if you're not making five thousand dollars plus a month you want to struggle you can't afford a house you can't afford a car and there's so many people come to me they'd be like yo I don't it ain't about lifestyle like I could take look this [ __ ] don't mean nothing [Music] when we when we go into when we go into let's just say Richard milley for me I'm originally on Gilly it don't mean nothing remember you said that [ __ ] God bro because our people is not it's not all about this they gotta make a million right it's just so expensive I don't even know how to close the buffer she don't close like no rolly right but in reality bro we not looking like yo our people need a way out and they need options and they need people that can actually properly train them and that's why I said listen I can teach you five to to seven different ways that you can start an entrepreneurship the same thing that you did to affiliate like with affiliate marketing is the same thing you can do for your if you're a rapper or any product you got if you sell cars whatever business you're in we just need the mentorship and sometimes it's the guidance from those who got the experience like I've been able to build my business up like I didn't did over 10 million dollars in business 25 million in two years like I got different level of reach a different level of access and now I wish somebody would have told me this years ago like if somebody would have gave me this game years ago like these are things that you can do people don't tell us that we can put money into funds and automated funds and automated traders that will give us returns that you couldn't think of but it's a minimum of 250 000. and you realize like yo they hold information away from those who can't afford it like if you if you're not qualified I'm not going to tell you but we've got to hustle we got to drive we got the ambition if you gave us the opportunity we'll be able to better our lives but they don't do it so my thing is like I'm like yo I'm doing I want to do it live like I want to teach people live I want to I I tell people this man give me 90 minutes to earn your trust like 90 minutes on your trust and upgrade your bank account [ __ ] Richard million gilly you know what I mean like let me put them on for me before I drop it it's all I'm asking I said yo listen give me 90 minutes to earn your trust Texas we're live to 404-737-3767 I'm gonna show you how you can clean your credit report I'm gonna show you how to get a minimum 250 000 and I'm gonna show you how to start at least three to five streams of income live and I'm gonna take your question and it's gonna be gonna do everything but wipe your ass man and for free the education on me the the uh execution on you like I educate you you got to execute we'll go everywhere we're gonna take it to the next level my goal is to create 100 Millionaires and you could do that yeah I got I already got 30 of them right I didn't help create 30 millionaires but my 31 31.

want to be able to connect with people like I see like I respect the Jay-Z's I respect the pups but it's hard to connect with them once they reach a certain level I've been able to build my community that's why you see I do my events and the my people who pay me the people who've actually invested in Recession Proof you see them with me live like I'm not just online like I'm not an online Guru that sit online like I'm outside with the people I do live trainings get online with me and really get to see and hear from me and be like okay let me see how he teach let me see what the mindset is

uh I'm gonna get y'all Play account truest um go to the truest Bank you can get set up first with that's where you start with your you go online tours are you walking to there you go online you can go online or go inside truest the truest bank right what truest you can do you can go get a credit card you can get a zero percent interest credit card from truest but you also can go and get um a business line of credit from truest a lot of people don't know to go in and do it the same day at the same time and get one inquiry it's the same thing like Bank of America you can get two business credit cards on one inquiry what happens is sure what's the Bank of America pull from two different credit bureaus so now you got four Bank products one inquiry on both that's an easy 100K strictly offer just them to bank Cinema institution like my goal is to tell you guys like yo we can get access to Capital but 100 I gotta put this disclaimer on understanding getting somebody else's money leveraging OPM can be a potential dangerous Hazard you have to understand you have to learn how to use it responsibly you have to understand how to properly utilize your credit the ones knowing what doesn't report on your credit knowing how long you have to pay it back so because the worst thing you want to do is get behind a gun when it comes to interest and now you're losing profit in your business so you have to learn how to leverage it responsibly and that's what I want to educate you on I can tell you how to get it all day but I don't want you going into debt because the same way I approach these Banks is the same way I approach business it's a strategy to it and you have to approach your business in a way that you remain profitable you don't want to go and take the bank's money and invest it in a business that you're not making money from so I want to make sure you got the systems in place that you got actual resources you got tools and information to execute properly and realistically become recession-proof give me that number one man right now I'm gonna get this game from him 500 AK some 500 you need to text live to 404-737-37-67-447 37 3767 text lob and him 500 AKA slim five hundred is going to give you that recession improved game from so many different departments before you get out of here [ __ ] I'm holding the light blue Richard Miller in a light blue [ __ ] what's that a phantom that I seen in the driveway it was royal blue Royale I'm rocking both of them when I get to [ __ ] land and that's a million dollars worth of game hey the black the system ain't designed to make a black man rich I gotta understand that y'all let's go let's go like that right let me ask you a question you saying it when you got shout out to all the up and coming comedians there's a couple guys from Philly like uh funny boy quill tis 215 rich dollars check them out when you get a chance but then you got other dudes I don't cover them that's on this level where they close now and I want you to get them game you got people like Desi Banks just hilarious haha Davis uh you had them type of people uh uh DC Young fly to who uh my whole crew there now how do you get it this is the game over from you how do you get a show on Netflix how do you get a show on Netflix a stand-up comedy joint do you everybody everybody wants to show Netflix but I'ma say why no no I'm just asking you because I'm saying like it's in getting that right it's not it's not about getting it you can get on any platform what's your reason right like what's your what's the reason for it so with this younger generation of comedians you gotta understand that the comedy special game and world is not what it once was right Everything Changes there's there's obstacles and there's periods when you think about there's a time where the HBO special was the biggest thing you can get right and when you look at the comedians that were fortunate and blessed enough to get an HBO especially back in the day it was the biggest thing ever for them the HBO specials then changed and Comedy Central got into the space Comedy Central gave out half hour specials and our specials if you got a half hour special hour special on Comedy Central you'll be in a rotation you'll be seen it propels some careers okay wow the world is special seems like it's growing now Netflix came and Netflix gave a different idea of what a comedy special should be and the comedians that did specials on that platform in the beginning it was a lot something was seen some weren't but Netflix's identity was all based off of the foundation of stand-up comedy in the beginning they were redefining the world of state of Comedy um and then it started to get a whole bunch of other content right but then they said [ __ ] it we're gonna go out we're gonna get the biggest Comedians and we're going to get them to do specials and we're going to make the specials special again not that they weren't they said we're going to make them special again so they threw this money at them and a bigger comedian said [ __ ] it we're gonna do it so they got Chappelle Rock myself Louis CK uh Amy Schumer Wanda Sykes uh Jerry Seinfeld Ellen DeGeneres like the biggest names in comedy went there and they started doing them but now everybody else started getting special so now the world of comedy specials it's there but they're not as special they're not as special because everyone isn't in demand that's not a bad thing like you work to get in the man you need to be seen to put ashes in the seats but where do you go that has the best impact for you so for the for the younger generation of comics that Netflix pleasure that they may want it may not be the best decision for them because they're in a more they're in a much more valuable position today because owning your material yeah I think your IP is easier to do because of the the freedom and how you control your car your content right like you're talking about like when you go down just hilarious and DC Young Fly and uh dude it's like you're talking about Desi Banks you're talking about um people who embrace the world of social media built the following off of social media and did it by managing and operating and controlling the content that they put out so now going to the standard special space they could mimic that maybe they can shoot it themselves maybe they could sell it license it there's a different type of conversation so they don't have to go the route that most win right their decisions now are a little different because the opportunities that present themselves are different so I would say for them it's about understanding the business more for them and I talk to them I give them all these tidbits I'm I'm the guy that wants them to win so you know when you when you have that final ones they've developed and they have the dollar because they go out and they make their money as well shooting it completing it and going and packaging it and Licensing it or seeing if you can sell it whatever it is for you that becomes the road to Victory it's not just about being on Netflix just to be on Netflix right now the business of the business is just as important as the talent so you have to make sure you weigh those options properly and you know maybe your first special sets up the next one but there's several different platforms you can go to um that's why I'm always one to say no let's shoot this [ __ ] ourselves yeah and because how many platforms out here begging for Content you know when they throwing money around so if you if you can pay for your own content and take it to them your money is a lot different because if you have an audience right you're you're you what you guys have here is so dope because you've now developed a brand what started off as just a dope ass podcast with a name in the back of it it's not become a brand so the brand this is a brand man dollars worth of game becomes a brand and you can Elevate that brand however you choose right and the brand has tentacles and it becomes tiered so now the podcasts of YouTube it's here but if you think you guys want to meet boss troops bar stools started off as a podcast or a radio show with and then they got bigger and they kept on putting other shows underneath it so now bar stools the brand is a hub that embeds the media of all this stuff under here this is growing into the same so when you understand the business in the business that you're creating you got a following well now your bargaining chips are different yes everybody can have the same conversation at the table everybody wants to but they can right so your conversation is different in my conversation that I can have is different because we come different value so our leverage within the value is where we negotiate at a high level to the younger talent that has the following in social media there's value because they have an audience so if they do things and they embed it and finish it and complete it and say well my audience shows that they'll show up to see this I would much rather license it and own it now you can get a licensing fee or you can say I want to sell it whatever it is you're making a better decision for you and your brand but it's the understanding of how to do that and there's never been a more valuable time to do it in than now you know I'm a full-fledged media business yeah I'm into the business more than I'm into being a talent now yeah I'm more about heartbeat than I am Kevin Hart yeah and what I and what uh it's funny you say that because with us we own a hundred percent of all our stuff we on our IP we own everything everything you see me and I was working on all we do is licensing deal which you say is good because we don't feel as though we should sell our stuff we got a catalog whatever but I would say this like like uh when when you have another Network how can people get on your network on well laugh out loud was a network I embedded laugh out loud and Heartbeat Productions underneath heartbeat so I took both entities combined them um and the reason why we combined them because I said we want to act and operate as a studio and we want to show us the value of this machine so to scale the company means we're going to grow it um and we're going to basically create the opportunities to develop scripted unscripted TV movies audio list it all falls into one thing right underneath this roadblock but as a talent who's done it and got to this space I can embrace the younger generation of Talent with opportunities so in doing that it's about making creative deals given the opportunities that are are a little unconventional right like that's where my business is going to flourish because I can make unconventional deals I can do things differently I can be a little outside the box um and not operate like your Universal Warners Etc Great partners of ours we do great business together but for me to get the talent and to package the talent to come in and do the projects underneath the heartbeat umbrella well I have to be just I have to be creative in that aspect so for the younger generation we are doing specials we are doing um reality unscripted series we are doing um you know talk shows radio shows we on our channel on Sirius we're doing other podcasts underneath our umbrella we we're a full ecosystem of media so you have to find and embrace talent and the best way to do it is to get them to trust you you can't do that with upside down deals you can't do that um with ways where you're trying to take advantage or get over right like you know being an open book company and trying to make good decisions and good business on behalf of what you want your company to be a representation of is the priority of me and mine so uh an amazing team of execs we have and I can say that our partners at every invested they gave us a 100 million dollars we scaled grew the company the valuation is um uh somewhere around close to 700 million and we do believe that we'll grow and eventually be a billion dollar company or billions but will be a partner more importantly like this is a business that we're scaling for partnership Partnerships we want to be aligned so Netflix as an amazing amazing Partners they are to me I want my company to be a part of theirs as well uh and the same with all my other partners right like the real Partners help you grow right and shouts out to Ted uh who's a good friend of mine man and and even my friends in Universal I want to make the decision to to go and do things um with Netflix like your real Partners want to see you win um shout out to Erica nardini and Dave point my people over there at bars too yeah who from the rip always believed the million dollars worth of games yes they did and they believed in us when people like we used we had the conversation people like oh man you're doing good let's get together let's talk they didn't talk they talk with the check yeah you won but but they believed yeah yeah your real alignment and growth comes from the people who already did it yes that aren't afraid to help you do it too yes right and and that's the difference when you get behind that door who did it over here that can show us how to do it properly right that can help us grow and really figure this [ __ ] out and act as like a real extension of opportunity like that's real partnership absolutely and if I brought you value in return the value that you bring back to me is helping this business grow and I can say all Minds have done that at a very high level and I'm gonna say this it's funny you say that because you say these people want to help you grow right it's got boxing after this yeah yeah yeah yeah some boxing shoes those boxes sneaks well they just oh nice they Jim Jones data boxing joints they look like they boxes they look like these four he's going to Joe Frazier okay all right okay doctor said David Reeves boxing them not the one punches not the one punches but listen so it's funny you say that because one day I get a call from our partners and they say we got some people we want to introduce you to these are the people they gave us the finances we need when we was hot like y'all we want to introduce you now you know [ __ ] don't usually happen like that they introduce us to the plug the money and uh that's why I really salute them and I say you're right and I think as us we need to understand the importance of partnership yeah like you know why not partner with some people that already got the infrastructure everybody feels though I'm gonna do it alone I'm Gonna Be Independent you need infrastructure that's the most important thing Walo you say a lot of stupid [ __ ] A lot of times I know glad because I listen to you most of the time like 90 of this stuff while I say is stupid extra stupid but what you just said is so unbelievably correct like when I shake your hand if you don't shake my hand back then your gesture isn't the same as mine right like if I shake your hand I look you an eye and I give you a real handshake it's because I'm trying to give you a sign of respect trying to give you a sign of Engagement nice call it what you want but it can't be one-sided you're supposed to do the same back to me that's the same in Partnership that's the same relationship it's not a one-sided situation of value and that's what business takes a drop where you feel like it should just be about me right when you feel like yo man what y'all giving me or what is going on like man they were supposed to do and they didn't do but it should be okay they're doing this for me in return I want to make sure that I do set thing for them right so I want to see them win as well absolutely when you guys have that mindset both of us got to win we both have to win and by the way if you both want that to happen nine times out of ten you will win right that's been that's been the biggest that's been the biggest piece of success for me is not it's not the selfish idea of what I need it's about what we can do to turn this over hand over fist and also I turn down the opportunities for one-offs because if you just want me for a little teeny piece there's no commitment there there's no like what how do we grow what if that people there's no growth it was amazing like I want the opportunity to grow and see how you've grown while partnering with me and I should be able to look at the same right don't have me a lead acting Avatar but I just got one off no Avatar Two come on I was doing four how are y'all doing four avatars right so who's gonna be the who's going to be this guy in this way right now don't don't kill don't kill me don't kill me what was your name that's the that's the biggest that's the biggest piece of business that a lot of people override man and you saying your wallet and that's even having this conversation right it's it's neat did because the the idea in the want and need for Success it can't it's so [ __ ] polluted as to what it what it is and what it should be and it's a Sim it's a simple approach in streamlining it success is what you want it to be but you cannot get there without the help of I don't give a [ __ ] who you are yeah I don't care who you are you're going to at some point you're going to need help you're going to need assistance you will get to a point of confusion where you do not know what to do or how to navigate you will need some information or someone's [ __ ] help and I'm gonna say this it's different types of partnership you have a financial institution can be your partner and they could be financing because they believe and you had a track record or your business look good your financial statements you know um activate them to look out for you so that everybody say okay you need this fun and here you go then you got the partnership of infrastructure like he said connection when we partnered with Barstool one thing I could say it would be times I'll be like yo I'll be back where you going going up to New York for three three days for what oh I'm just walking around the office and talk to everybody and get game and I will walk around the office finance department editing department sales department and they just give it to me oh no this is how we do just how we get ad sales this is the ad rev that's how we move oh yeah we edit like this oh yeah boom boom and finance this is how we do oh okay so you need all these to work because I'm learning the bit and I'm taking time out because you got to take time out and you want and you got to be willing to be dedicated to learn in order to grow because it comes from you being a person Gilly it's cool being guilt I mean while it was cool being wild but we're together with million dollars with the game and that's more powerful than any of us by ourselves and that's where we understand this [ __ ] is about business and the business that we're building you know we can laugh and joke people there oh no no we're on our business and understanding that you gotta learn this [ __ ] and more importantly we giving the bars to you know I mean as they given to us well you look and you're also going to look for the information oh yeah I'm not playing right like nobody's going to volunteer the information so you're looking for it you say yeah I'm going up there and I'm writing conversations with people I'm saying the conversations are ready to be had I don't while you're you're in the cars uh yeah I don't know if you're in the cars as much but if if you guys ever go to car shows or in L.A they have these little old school drives and they finish it parking lots right and I love old school cars I love building old school cars what you'll find is that there's a lot of older men and lawn chairs and they sit in front of their car and there's a book on a stand about the build of their car they just sit there because they're hoping that somebody just asked them what did you do and when they say when they amen they get out their chair and they go to page one on the book and they can't wait to tell somebody yep the story of how they got the car to get to this place of perfection what you'll find is that [ __ ] in this a seat of success or in a seat of power of some sort in the right environments they can't wait to go they won't let you leave oh no you doing this wrong you cannot wait Susie come here yes yes [Music] I'd have been in offices why I asked one question revers with Kevin Lyons or somebody and it's it's 11 o'clock in the morning I leave 4 30. and they cannot they give me the history to give you so much information that you wasn't even expecting because you asked and you know we got to stop being entitled and think nobody wants to ask nobody no no that's what they think oh Kevin Hart popping he supposed to tell me this yeah Kev don't even know you exist yeah oh I really don't even know you exist I don't even know you don't even want the information I don't know if you want to know that right but we haven't I don't know when we come from in Black America a lot of times in the hood is that you just supposed to I don't know that you want to do that bro I thought you were just uh uh uh you was just rapping last week get in the podcast it's a high level of entitlement man and it's uh you know these are these are culture problems these are things that we eventually have to shake but when you break it down we're not talking in a we're not talking in this like high level no we're not we're not talking in a manner of what some may not be understanding we're we have dumbed this down yeah lowest level of understanding of of just conversations questions answers relationship partnership why where value is isn't like we have simplified it to the absolute lowest level and that's the best way to engage and it's not because people are dummies that's not why it's because talking regular is way cooler than talking as if you as if you're on a higher platform it's the same thing it all boils down to the same thing has the same means the same definitions and the information and the world of just giving it that should just be highlighted so much more than what it is now absolutely yes you should and you know what uh uh it is like this okay you you're running around and you're doing something I don't I don't think we ever seen you're doing [ __ ] Arenas like like every night like the same way Gil used to do bars every night you're doing Arenas so it's like he would you and you was doing them same bars we get 30 25 people in there now you how many people you put in there a night fan base man we probably do about 13 15 000 people to assembly so so what I'm saying is in your infrastructure put this whole tour together heartbeat did this yeah and you put people in place and this and this is the importance of team together each achieve more teamwork need to DreamWork you you fell back and said let me trust people enough to put them in place to be able to put this whole thing together and how did you go about that like hiring and putting the team together uh you look at companies um and would you realize that every company has whether successful or not they have a structure it's hard for anything to work if there is no structure there are no guidelines if everybody's not meeting a certain requirement if we're not showing up every day at a certain time and that time is because that's the time we're supposed to start work if we don't leave work at a certain time because this time that work is over what you'll find is that everybody in the in between they'll come and go as they please and some won't give as much some will do some won't um but hey man how do I get people not to compete and not to like want to cut each other's heads off and like how do I make everybody believe and invest in the thing well you do it by giving the thing value and allowing people to participate in a world of value in it so it was about finding the right execs uh finding my CEO finding my president had a development had a distribution my CFO my coo Chief Operating Officer Chief Financial Officer um the word of branding how do we brand how do we Market yeah how do we promote there's people that have these titles for a reason and what you realize is that a big piece to Winning is picking winners right right like you and hiring [ __ ] that knew what you don't know they you can we look at the athletes all day athletes are winning championships LeBron James wins championships Steph Curry wins championships [Music] you got you got to look in those back office you got to look at those people that's at that table you got to look at the players that are allowed to be at that table and those decisions are filled with the opinion of people who have had an impact in winning in some way shape or form absolutely when you look at football programs basketball programs companies that scale and sell for billions of dollars what you'll find when you go look behind that [ __ ] curtain which I have now been in the same people got their hand and right and the wins and that's not an accident right because a lot of times the person that's at heartbeat he was 11 of the places before he got there absolutely he wasn't he absolutely HBO he was running Clear Channel shots he was doing this and he was so Jeff Clinton it's all about elevation right and even with them Jeff clean again and even with them is about opportunity and elevation so it's like okay the opportunity is great over here okay now you gotta pay me a more than what they're paying me okay I'm over I'm in you want me to bring my greatness to your organization then you got to pay me good absolutely you got to pay me more than what they paying me and I gotta believe in what you doing and those are the tough conversations too for me that was a tough conversation because everybody it all it's always going to boil down the money and there's always a want for more money and when you have those conversations when you're coming from or jumping ship and you got people that are coming to be a part of this thing that you want to work so bad the investment in is what is you know it's necessary like nobody wants to give up money nobody wants to continue to have to pay these salaries that are crazy but when you look at the Roman reason behind them I worked here for said years and look at what I did if I go here and I'm leaving this I need and people's demands are sometimes Justified when you got the receipts right when you got the receipts you can't there's no argument so I invest in people more than I think I invest in in myself at this point like my biggest Investments are in other personnel yeah because you but your biggest your biggest probably Money Maker when it's all said and done is going to be the [ __ ] that you own no no [ __ ] but it comes it comes with the help of The Visionaries of those that are underneath the umbrella right like you and that's what you gotta You Gotta Lose the eye and understand that has to be a week like it can't be I I I I absolutely it's the we effect of it so um what we're doing is special I think that we are in a in a very we're in a very amazing position right now because you know the the opportunity that heartbeat Spring Hill hello sunshine we all embarked on was one that confused the business a little bit it's like well how did they go about that's major yeah like what how we were the only people hello sunshine that's Reese Witherspoon that's LeBron and Kevin what yeah they don't I don't think people understand what that is and I believe it shouts out to um to Westbrook that's Will's company I believe that's like a forehead Dragon that's you you that's crazy there there are no others that have done or that are doing so the positioning and getting yourself into a space to act like a studio use real money to be able to develop it was one that was frowned upon for a minute so you're in a unique position a few to do some amazing stuff that hasn't been done as groundbreaking to where you can make decisions to eventually have this name in the sky if you choose that or are you scaling to do what when how and grow and partner and even okay there's so much that can happen at that point people these big they dying to partner with y'all and just be your partner you [ __ ] Reese Witherspoon Kevin Hart LeBron James very good place man dude Reese is doing extremely well it's [ __ ] class I know Spring Hill is doing great things shouts out to Brian man you know it's it's we I told you I come from a place of I want to see other people win I want to see it done right I don't believe there's going to be one I don't come from that school if there's one right and that's it and only one part like there's enough room for us all absolutely everybody can win absolutely everybody wouldn't have done right listen man we appreciate having you man absolutely man I appreciate coming on you're gonna give me a billion dollars a million dollars worth of a game today a bunch of it man yeah I mean a whole bunch of games we know you got a you know your show well before before I go I want to uh I want to say I'll cover back all right before I go I'll I'll say two things one um the the audio book it's been out for a while now but the monsters are how to tame them I would say give it a listen like you should yeah nothing else just to listen to it when I tell you it's nothing more than an example of what we talked about today it's information information the battle that we have with ourselves how we question ourselves how we're constantly in our brain uh going up against us the when I say the monsters I'm talking about the different monsters that we have facing that that literally we have to face on a day-to-day basis from the over control guide to the I'll do it myself to the I know it all to the I Don't Need No Man the question is I mean monsters why are you playing around yes questioning yourself and these all things that we deal with in this audiobook all I'm doing is putting it on the table of how I too have been through and have dealt with but how I've overcome um give it a listen audible.com and the other thing I'll say is uh heart house we're opening up a second one in Los Angeles excited to tell about that um looking for uh the biggest and best opportunity to grow this plant-based fast food chain we will be spreading uh my goals to hopefully hopefully
