gotta say this off the rip i [ __ ] with rick ross cause he teaching wealth that's off the rent man r.i.p to nipsey r.i.p to dmx kobe definitely gotta pay pay our respects before all our fallen soldiers so rosie i want to get right into this man you need no introduction what you've been able to accomplish phenomenal as far as you know starting from the rap game and transitioning to being on a magic johnson level that's how i really look at you with the problem more so than that i appreciate it man i appreciate you bro so um i want to start at the beginning i want to start at the beginning because um shout out to our boy jim jones we interviewed jimmy and he said he was at a r at warner and um he said he was spent a lot of time in miami and he told kevin loud he's like yo this is kid rick ross out there he got a single that's burning up the streets and kevin did some research and um jimmy was like but he won a million dollars to sign him kevin was like i ain't giving him a million he said you need to he said no you need to uh so how did that start as far as building that momentum 745 white on white building it in the streets and then coming in the game with if i'm not mistaken a million dollar bid in war just off the rep that was just me uh you know putting that groundwork in as an underground artist you know writing for others uh and it took me time to get on but i also that time that it took me to get on i also understood my value and i knew what that patience of me having was gonna be worth and that's what it was um all the time that i was dropping mixtapes back to back the back [ __ ] was really preparing me so once i got that one smash record every damn hustling that changed the [ __ ] forecast for rose and i told him right off the rip before i fly anywhere to talk to somebody it's got to be seven figures on the table straight up bottom line yeah it's crazy you say patience because i just left rap snacks office and i was with my guy james and wise and yeah i was talking about you he was like he's extremely patient he said that he was like rose has extreme patience talk about that as far as because from my understanding you was rapping for 10 years before you actually made any money right i was i was writing then i was writing for others and rapping for myself longer than the decade before i ever made a coin so i understand that we done all went years without having [ __ ] so we understand what patience is because believe it or not that counts as your patience towards whatever you working for right now and so that's exactly what i did [ __ ] it i'ma be patient and um once we got in the position of power my negotiation was a little different it was a little different i understood my my heights i understood my lows understood what i had to work on and i um i brought it to the table and i sat down and [ __ ] here we are still winning yeah one of the the other things i heard you say was before you can be a ceo you have to be a worker yeah you have to be a worker and that says a lot because the grind you're talking about the 10 years nobody ever sees that but where where did you get that mindset from and was that in the early ages of your development or did that come with music i believe that really came up growing up right here in miami you understand as a youngster before they let you you know do an oil change you got to wash the car first before they let you work on the ceiling you got to cut the grass first you know what i'm saying and [ __ ] i began hands-on still hands-on i still cut my own grass right now till this day if i got time imma do it wait wait time time now i saw that john did all right right right and when we're talking greg we're not talking about the everyday law we we're talking about the biggest estate in the state of georgia in the east coast in the east coast don't ever play yourself right so you out on the john deere cut all that long yeah yeah yeah actually me and four or five of my homies that sounds more like this yeah yeah i got it i got a couple of homies shout out to kano and the whole squad but we get out there we smoke us one and we all get on our own tractors and go about our day but the beautiful thing about it is the time that i get to sit by myself reflect by myself i think about my plans i plot strategize and so on and so forth you know what i mean and [ __ ] by the time i end that for the day i'm ready to make some business calls step our game up some kind of way so you said i started at the car wash you was actually watching cars without a doubt how did that does that still keep you grounded remembering humble beginnings right he said he even once had a job pouring tall on the roof and that was all facts and still to this day that still make me the hustler that i am regardless of um the position we in because i'm much further than i could have ever fathomed and i think that was the word to use for that you know what i'm saying yeah but on some on some real [ __ ] i'm much further than i could have ever imagined you understand and i'm still getting up every day and going at it like wayne got [ __ ] because to me that's what represents a true hustler yeah your mindset has always been different i mean from the early stage i remember i think was on the deeper than rap album you said uh i won't fail but a lot of men will i was like oh that's a bar you know you're in a surrounding that isn't promising but you know that i'm gonna make it out and then later in your career you you you said um in a room full of failures i feel out of place right so you had that premonition for a while how did it how did it develop like that man it's just what you got to do as being a boss being a ceo and i want to make this note your life is the most important position you'll ever have as a ceo you the ceo of your life you understand and so for me i always understood at an early age i wasn't the smartest at the room when the teachers asked the question i would have loved to be the young brother that had every answer and i would have gave it to him but i didn't you understand so i had to sit in the back crack jokes and do everything else but i understood what i did have was passion and that's what separated me from everybody else when i played football my passion i wanted to practice two a day when all my other homies was man i'm tired i'm ready to go home watch cartoons [ __ ] cartoons let's do this [ __ ] again and that same passion still drive me to this day you understand it's sunday let's still turn up after this we doing some most [ __ ] tonight it ain't just about the money it's about the brand that's where patients come into play once again the bill of brand man you got to put 10 years on that [ __ ] of course you can make some money before then whatever whatever but that's the kind of mind frame you got to have when you thinking about astronomical numbers i think that was the word for that that's two y'all keeping note that's two let me actually let me ask you this as far as cause we like to do like deep dives in the business and all of that and um you see over 1100 people here that's interested in learning about business um so i want to break down the businesses first i want to start with music so you come in and you was hot off the rip you sold 100 i drink 187 thousand your first research right but the reason why i bring that up is because it's not like i don't think your first record went gold or platinum but you started a record label maybach music and everybody knows meek mill wale that story so how did you have the leverage to create a label even though like i guess you wasn't a commercial star yet at that time what i did was i understood once again i understand my strengths and i understand my weaknesses that's just like if i'm sitting in the in this crowd today i would try to make sure i connected with the most [ __ ] in the crowd meaning exchange numbers introducing myself and do it in a boss manner and that's what i did as soon as i got in depth jam business as soon as i got into the office i made sure i bonded with the [ __ ] that had strengths in the areas i was weak in oh how we get to this how we continue to own this this what we need okay this what i want to do let's sit down and um let's build something together you understand and that's how you begin to educate yourself so what usually would it took another artist five years to learn on his own you know i put somebody right by my side and got the game from and you know 16 months later i introduced maybach music yeah so that's interesting because one of the things i think people haven't given you credit for this and i've heard you say it before is that when you signed your deal you didn't spend a dollar you didn't buy jewelry you didn't buy a car well the 745 i'm sure i came here yeah that's before right now that was before that white one 745 that came forward um you didn't buy julie like i said you said i'm gonna save until i know the next best move and so when you sign in your mind you're thinking already i'm gonna create a label was that the next best move that's what you were thinking of i know most definitely that was you know in the forecast me being the ceo you know the time that i would put in the music that was enough for me to share with possibly 10 different artists the amount of beats that i listen to in one night the average artist won't listen to in three months you know what i'm saying i could sit there for 12 hours and listen to instrumentals listen to beats and go back and forth you know what i'm saying so i knew i would be a huge assistant to the right artist you know the young dudes with the right passion you know and i was blessed to come across a young wale of of course a meek mill and you know uh i came across other artists as well and you know something nobody ever taught me was that you know you may come across some [ __ ] with the talent but they may not have the passion [Music] so that's just like being a ceo you got to make sure you bringing somebody to the table who got the passion they got to want to win more than you the coach can't want the player to win more than the player do [ __ ] ain't gonna happen and that was something nobody never taught me that was something i had to learn on my own so when you when you step in def jam's building are they gravitating towards you because they see the hunger is this like when you're meeting like the leos and the kevin lauz they're like this guy's special this is bigger than music i believe they did shout out to l.a reid jay-z right right uh dj khaled was my anarch at the time shout out to evie everybody that i had around me they saw how i was on go you understand rose released uh part of miami six months later i was ready to put out another album push it to the limit yeah yeah it's almost like the label couldn't keep up with me by the time i put out trilla i was ready for deeper than rap after deepening rap i was ready to put out another mixtape because they couldn't keep up we got that argument all the time rich forever that was the mixtape was my favorite we always had an argument like who was my favorite is teflon dawn he always says deep in a rap deeper than rap that that won't change it for change the game a lot let me ask you this how do you what's your process as far as finding all right meek mill is a global icon superstar right now but did you know that off the rip what made you want to invest in somebody like me who's from philly and you know not somebody like homegrown miami whatever like was it his buzz already in the streets of philly was it his energy what did you see in him that you thought he was gonna be a star well really with me it wasn't his buzz it was you know once i was introduced to him and i got in the studio with him i understood his talent spending a week with him i understood his story i understood his heart and and of course i felt it at that point let's go let's let's do this you know what i'm saying i understood homie vision and um he took it to another level did you did you foresee him being who he is now i did i made a record called two pockets back years ago and one time for the legend two pockets no wait was i saying you know for sure absolutely but i knew meek meek had a story to tell the way pop did and i knew that was special let me ask you this um i want to go on music a little bit more you have a unique here for beats i remember nas called you the very white of our generation like it's it's a different vibe like you know what i'm saying especially coming from the south so we're from new york and like the first southern artist that i really got into his music was t.i because i could understand i could relate to him like he had a fade he was you could tell he's from the south but he had a new york swag too and i kind of feel like you the same way like coming from miami all we heard before that was trick daddy and like that kind of music which was dope luke but you came on some just made back music some versace linen shirt like you came with the whole swag like don't say we're always flying like ferrari fat boy wait wait where'd that where'd that vibe come from hey don't forget this and we don't wanna discount this because he left us but he was part of the ball heading vehicle and now he left us i'm i'm not i'm saying i'm saying i am i guess he was this guy's crazy shout out to my brother's wallow and gilly to be still part of the team it's still beer gang for life there we go here we go but um as far as the the flavor and the style growing up in miami it's always been universal you understand miami always been high fashion big money we always love the bellies as the youngsters you know youngsters i saw the hustles with the suede valleys whatever it is it was always the flies it was always universal so if using from new york city flying miami it always fit wherever you was from atlanta wherever it was from so you know i just made sure i stuck to the script you know what i'm saying as far as the jewels the way we roll the way the hustlers got around you i'm saying i just stuck to the script i gotta give it to the ones before me they always did it big big boys out here always did it big so you know that was the only way rosie could do it is do it big let's get into this conversation going on y'all gold fuel has completely revolutionized the energy drink market it's formulated with clean natural ingredients and is the only energy drink to

eyl20 to get 20 off from one goat to the next cheers family jet dock right so if anybody watches we got the biggest stock show yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we got time for jet dock one time for jet dock so we got a stock show called market monday we talked about stocks in teledoc yes so that whole industry of virtual medicine is going through the roof right now pillpack uh amazon's involved they say apple's actually about yeah so from my understanding you put a million dollar investment in a jet dog and anybody doesn't know jet jet dock is an online health company where you get virtual doctor visits and it's subscription based so it's like um 10 to 20 a month and this is a whole big thing and it's really big especially for for black men because it's like a lot of people don't go to the doctors because they don't have health insurance right you don't need health insurance for that right you don't need health insurance you it's a low amount right as far as um actually the access to see the doctor is virtual right or right over the phone and as far as the trust but pretty private we got rose and rose we trust that roseanne we trust talk about can you break that down a little bit as far as how you why you want to get involved and it's a black ceo by the way as well yeah yeah shout out to tommy duncan black ceo real real sir yes sir he's real successful um all of his prior you know ventures huge success but you know first and foremost everybody know rose no i haven't been through my own health scares right so with myself it's all about you know doing as much as we can for ourselves for our people and the ones around us okay so jet dock presented itself and for me what really caught my eye was for one the amount of money you could save there's so many people that can't afford health care they can't afford going to the doctor they can't afford you know fulfilling these expensive uh prescriptions so jet doc and cut all that you know more than half man you know so if you're a ceo of a company you could get your employees [Music] jet doc you know health care for less than ten to twenty dollars a month not three hundred dollars not four hundred dollars and that's why so many people of our color don't have health care and a lot of times by the time we go visit a doctor it's much too late we got to prepare for the worst when a lot of times we just need to you know address it as early as possible you understand and and let's live let's enjoy life so so there's a common theme right you you said your health concerns led you to invest in uh jet dock right i want to talk about wing stuff though because i i heard you know wayne stop and checkers everybody has known you lemon pepper is your wing of choice good good choice by the yeah so there's a common theme where you invest in things that you consume can you talk about the importance of that of course i could go straight to that well for myself if i love it i want to do it i want to do it you know based on my heart you understand i haven't said this before i was offered a seven-figure advance for smoking cigarettes doing cigarette ass i don't smoke squares i can't do that i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm flattered i appreciate it but i can't do that so for me the reason why i could become partners with the brands i become partners with is it's got to be something that i genuinely love i gotta genuinely [ __ ] with it i wanted wingstop uh i bought my first franchise i knew nothing about the business i knew nothing about becoming a franchisee i knew nothing of nothing i knew none of that i just knew i wanted to pick a chick up that i liked one day after martin music yo you like chicken wings i'm sick that's how you impress me and you know i wanted to sit down eating on the way out you know what i'm saying mention tour oh yeah you notice my [ __ ] you know yeah and that's all i really wanted you understand so i gotta salute charlie morrison the ceo at wingstop he let me in he let me buy one the energy was dope i love lemon pepper wings i bought two i bought three i bought four shout out to my mom my sister i put all this burden on them we got the 10 we got the 15 we got the 20. shout out to my mom and my sister keep going to 25. shout out to my mama and my sister you're saying because you know they just support me they won't tell me no i put the burden on them but what i'm telling you is this i did it because i loved it and i learned it as i went i learned as i went you understand and once again i networked with people i got exchanged phone numbers with other dudes out in cali who had 20 restaurants this and that how you manage this how you deal with this how you keep up with the finances how you do this and i learned it as we went and we still here when did when did you get involved in wing style man i'm not even sure like five years ago no it was more than five years ago even better it was more than five it was much more than five years we much are we over a decade we're over a decade now you you invest in um stocks at all i do i do i got a little bit you know what i'm saying but i'm gonna tell you this right my mama taught me she said will she call me my real name she say will you can't let these people play with your money if you buy something you got to be able to touch it [Music] i said what you mean mama you gotta have an address i'll never forget that you dig and so what i did was that's what i basically put my money in you know what i'm saying real estate franchising [ __ ] that i could pull up and actually see standing on the corner straight up and down uh but in the last couple years i got some people that i'm real cool with you know what i'm saying they you know made a few investments bitcoin et cetera et cetera a few more things and you know i can't let everybody have the whole party to themselves so i slid a little something now the reason the reason why i asked you that cause i was doing some research and um wing stop stock was 25 five years ago and it's 137 today so that's a 448 increase so um i would have to say the biggest i would have to think that uh rose definitely helped boost the company stop brought the stock up for sure we'll say so i would think yeah you know what once we got we got in the franchise side you know we most definitely would wing stop you know invested on that side as well you know what i mean um what's the process of getting like the the franchise is it like i know with the mcdonald's like you gotta pay like a million dollars just to get the thing and then you gotta go through the training and all that did you have to go through that too or was you like since you rick ross it's kind of like a little different as far as you getting the franchise well i'm straight up that's why i continue to give my sister and my mother they props you know what i'm saying they wouldn't got college degrees they both you know uh college educator you know what i'm saying and so i make sure i stress this as much as possible we gotta start with the ones around us and the ones that love us most because a lot of times we could be looking for somebody to help us do something when the [ __ ] you need is right next to you and that's what i did you know what i mean and i'm blessed i trust my sister and my mom i tell them what the idea is i tell them what the play is and they they they pull it off they executed so all the times they had to go to the courses [Laughter] you know this and that it you know i gave them the hugs before they love your mom and they and they pulled it off for me so you know fortunate for me that's why i'm able to have my hands on so many things is because they take the stress off me i let them know to play in the idea and they executed let me ask you a question about never so earn your leisure is a we have a whole platform of business yeah yeah and uh a lot of people say don't work with family but we only work with family everybody that's employed is either people that we grew up with our friends or actual like family and it's worked out for us you you spoke about that very eloquently before where you say like you don't have to give your mom money you don't have to give your sister money no you don't want it like that you you put them in a position and now they actually are running businesses and they have income coming in so now not only do they have something to do because like you give somebody money but they just board at home all day like they actually running the business but then also they're stimulating your economy you're stimulating their economy and you was like if you're giving people money it's only so long before you get jammed up man i'm a firm believer that if somebody don't want it themselves regardless of how much you give them they ain't gonna have [ __ ] no way [Applause] unfortunately my mother's a self-made millionaire my sister she she has a car lot she does a bunch of other [ __ ] she's a millionaire herself you understand so if you're dealing with somebody that you can't trust you just got to take it for what it is you know i'm blessed i could trust my family i could trust my sister i trust my mother and that's what the play is and they know that's how it is we like the mob like that you know what i'm saying and and that's that's just how it go and i believe you got to have some type of understanding with somebody to really excel like that you got to have somebody you could call into your office and really have those real genuine talks with to take this [ __ ] over because a lot of times being an entrepreneur and a boss you gonna hit some potholes and some stumbles that's gonna test everything y'all ever did test everything y'all ever built anything y'all ever dreamed of and you got to be prepared for that yeah equally as impressive as the wing stopping is uh your venture into the spirits industry and so i'm interested to find how did you enter into this bellator rose because this is like one of our favorite champagnes you said we set the care package you know we're gonna need another one very soon so so how was that process and who walked you through it and talk about that a little bit well for me for me in the bel air road situation it was real genuine i was actually introduced to bel air by dj clue new york city finals yeah yeah yeah we had a party one night in new york city and i want to say it was greenhouse or something greenhouse gases you walk into like a foreign trees and leaves [ __ ] i was like yo i was in the zone and i had some bel-air that night i never forget it the following morning i called him and asked him like yo what's up with that i need some more that you know what i mean and it was just a genuine vibe he was like yo they just building a thing give me the contact let me let them know i love it i don't even want none i just want to let them know this what it is and that's what i want to let a lot of people know that a lot of times to to actually build on whatever it is you do you got to really really just strategize and do it out of love there's a lot of people that come to my dms rose would you do this for me now i ain't even mad at you that's cool but a lot of times for me to separate you from any other other [ __ ] that i feel don't have a vision guess what the first thing i'm looking for okay if i was doing this you know what i would have did first i would have posted one of rick ross albums first rose you don't say this what i want you to do cause guess what i'ma do it and let me know you got a vision imma [ __ ] with you this what i've done with brands time and time again i did it with bella just out of love genuinely supported bel air i did it in the last few months on my story with rap snacks and james lindsey i got on the [ __ ] instagram and just said yo i just had some of these rap snacks they taste good as hell i want my face on the bag i can't play basketball i can't play baseball but i want to be on the back and guess what i showed love for maybe 90 days in a row and i sat down and we had a business meeting and we closed the deal one time for rap snacks shout out to james shout out to was intelligent the whole so all i'm just telling you is let's be strategic at whatever it is you're doing before you reach out to somebody do something they favor bring something to the table that's what you got to do to be respected as a boss and that's what i did i wanted to get to know how the spirits work i'm ricky rosay exactly you understand i don't i'm not looking for a job but what i want to do is look for knowledge so i met the ceo bret and in exchange for the knowledge she shared with me let me sit in on the on the business meetings on the calls on this and that yo i'ma show us some love i enjoy it and guess what in the future i know anything i want to know to be able to do anything i want to do but right now it's just out of love dream yeah we gotta text that we officially bail their boys shout out away shout out to lex alexa shout out to lex you strike me as an extremely humble person and also a knowledge a sponge of knowledge uh diddy i believe he would you assigned to his management cup i know you learned a lot from diddy you spoke about the president um the head of bel air how important speak to these people how important is it to just a lot of times you feel like you're already rick ross you're a boss like no i'm saying but how important is it to just understand that there's always something else to learn and you can always learn from somebody okay first of all you got to ask yourself first and foremost how much do you want to know how much do you want to learn and be straight up and down with yourself i'm the biggest boss as far as i'm concerned ricky rose but i'm still the student of the game i still want to learn something right now straight up and down and when i'm around the big homies who got something to share with me or regardless it could be somebody that's sweeping the floor in the background if you got something to share with me rosette want to hear it i want it i could never have too much of that and so once again that's the passion be strategic bring something to the table if you're a boss if you're an executive go out your way make that phone call later today call somebody that you know you ain't called usually thank them for whatever they did have them go to that next level reward them yeah one of the best pieces of business advice and i want you again to speak to the over 1200 people that are here you said knowing what not to do is as equally as important as knowing what to do and so in business what are some things that you've learned or you've experienced over your career of not to do well me being the boss one of the first things i know not to do is i don't slander one of my teammates with the rest of the team we not gonna hurt a weapon no if it's a problem we'll discuss that and then we gonna bring it to the table and address it in an honorable way even if a [ __ ] may not like the results we gonna do it in an honorable way so once again yeah so once again my teammates that's with me the dudes that's sacrificing not only their time their life whatever it is we doing they know they doing it for a genuine cause and like i say the same person you have next to you that may only goddamn help you reach 50 of your goals under my direction may help me reach 100 now what can we do to change that what we got to do is make sure we learn and understand how to bring the best out of everybody that's around us have you ever thought about like audio like you're like you like when you talk it's like you're one of the great narrators it's like what's the guy he's playing pictures what's the black actor the old um morgan freeman like a morgan freeman yo you're gifted man yeah you really got talent with that man if i ever be honest i'm gonna be honest i spoke with somebody about that before but i told them right now i'm not interested you know what i'm saying i just want to continue to connect with the young entrepreneurs who hit me through my social media platform and that's basically the only ones i talked to i wasn't doing this before the pandemic but i understood once the pandemic the game changed we got to communicate differently now the [ __ ] i wake up walking barefoot in the morning and [ __ ] having bad foot i've been watching well i want to ask you so you had one of the most legendary business moves in the last couple years with coming to america too obviously everybody knows was filming at your house but yeah that's that's that princess amunda but you actually you actually caught a bag off of that right right right right can you talk about that a little bit yeah yeah yeah
