[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It's never giving up even if you hear no, it's like nah, keep going

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: You ain't hear yes from the right person, you spoke to the wrong person, that's how I usually, when I get a no I always say, you spoke to the wrong person, you know?

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So, and that's all good, you know? That's part of life

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You even said like, when niggas asking for the pussy niggas ain't like

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Niggas, yo

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: What's that?

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Niggas, it's crazy, I always, like not to be funny, but I always compare, you know, sex and goals, right?

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause I see how hard a motherfucker will go to get some pussy, right?

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: A motherfucker will go to the fullest extent

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Good morning, bitch to death

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Apologies

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Calling them bitches and shit like that

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_02]: But, well good morning you to death

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But that person that you're supposed to hit back to get something done

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: You'll be like, ah, I don't want to keep hitting them

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Why not?

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what's funny?

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_03]: We just talked about that in the chat the other day

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Because, um, we had ran down from, uh, ran down on, uh, Rashad from Ernie Elysium

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, okay

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And, uh, we had someone in Dykman and, uh, I hit him like, yo, we want you on the pod

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: He was like, yeah, I got you

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So then, uh, one of the guys from the chat was like, you know, hit him up

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_03]: So I hit him up, they ain't hear nothing

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And then, uh, like a week later he was like, yo, hit him up again

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I hit him up again

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And then the third time he was like, yo, follow up one more time

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, alright, at this point this might be dick riding

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Nah

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, I don't look at it like that, right?

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Because, you know, some people time is valuable

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I've spoken to a billionaire twice on this phone, right?

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And I literally remember him saying like, yo, I got 30 minutes for you

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I got

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, so make it count, right?

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you can never look at it like that

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I always say like, motherfucker go hard for the pussy

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But never go hard for what they trying to

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'ma keep hitting you

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: If you tell me to hit you again, I'ma hit you again

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, don't

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't affect me as a person if I keep hitting you

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, what is it doing?

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You're not making me less of a man

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, oh, I'm not a man no more cause I kept hitting you for some shit

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: They say that Khaled was one of the most annoying niggas in the world

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Is he annoying now?

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_02]: He's not annoying

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: He's annoying because he knew if somebody gave him an opportunity

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Where he can get to

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? So I just take that approach like, yo, I'ma be annoying because

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The first person who gives me an opportunity

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I'ma show them where I can take this shit

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: When did you learn this mindset from them?

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was in the car business

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I used to sell cars

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: They live 80 different lives

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, for real?

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I sold cars for seven years

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's dope

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: That's where I got the Green Eggs and Hand book

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: The first time

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember I was probably about 19

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: They handed me the book

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And was like, yo, read this

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And I read it

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And we came back the next day and they was like

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Alright, what's the book about?

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, yo, this nigga is begging like a motherfucker

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, nope, wrong answer

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Read it again

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't come back to me for about a week

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And then after a while I was like, yo, this nigga

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: He's gonna try it every different way, right?

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And as I was selling cars, you know

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_02]: People think car salesmen are fucking like creeps

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And shit like that

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, you know what?

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I'ma just be myself, one

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'ma take that same approach

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, yo, what if I could do it this way

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Or what if I...

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, sometimes

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: When a person walks through a dealership door

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_02]: They're there to buy a car

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Right?

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: They can go to any dealership and buy a car from anybody

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_02]: They wanna buy a car from

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But at that point, you selling yourself

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So I figured out like, how to just be myself

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And me being myself is what

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Helped me sell a lot of cars

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And through doing that

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Is where I just got that mind frame

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Of like, yo, I'ma just keep asking

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Because sometime you'll ask for the sale

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Nine times for a person to be like, alright

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: You hit the sweet spot, I'm ready

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So I just take that approach

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll keep calling you, asking you

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Until you say, yo, listen

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I purchased a car already

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, I appreciate you

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, no problem

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I'ma just keep asking

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'ma just keep asking

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It don't

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It don't

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Now how does that play into the DJing

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_01]: The Krayt and everything else you have going on?

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I think DJing is a little different

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: That's something that like since I was a little kid

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, my uncle's that, you know

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Six, seven years old, I was like into it

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That was like, that's a love

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: But it was also like, me driving around with my uncle

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_02]: At, you know, those late nights after we finished a party

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And him like literally breaking down each mix

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, yo, this to that was not good

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And then when you like, he would be drinking

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I think your uncle needs to host the whole NYC right now

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: He would be drinking

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But the whole time he getting drunk, drinking and all that shit

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Should get better

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: No, he's focusing on what I'm doing

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: He listening to everything I'm doing

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So now we be driving home

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You think this nigga saw us

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, nah, this nigga paid attention to everything you did

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Every blend

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: He gonna break it down

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And that like, made me wanna be better

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And after a while, just, you know

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_02]: The laptop shit got too easy

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just like, I'm off this

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So when the vinyl shit came back around

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It gives me that chance to keep like working

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? Like the moment I play something

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, I can do that again

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Because they like that

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But what if I can try this this time?

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And then with the crate is just, you know

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Wanting to create hope where it was hopeless

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So, Far Rockaway is like, it's a hard place to grow up

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So, we wanted to do something in the neighborhood that was like, it was different

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I also wanna talk about you betting on yourself too

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause you know, we done having conversations

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Where you told me

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like, yeah, I was doing construction

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And one day I just, you know what I'm gonna say

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_01]: What you doing here?

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, but it's funny

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So I took on that job while having the crate

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I didn't have no money

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And I still don't have no money

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But, I just remember like, my homie saying

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, we all know about clothes

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And the dude was like

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: This nigga is kinda like a bum at me

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: They say I don't know about no clothes

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And I just walked away

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, whatever

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And I came back from lunch

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like looking around

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yo, who you looking for?

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, yo, I'm looking for you

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: What the fuck you looking for me for?

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, bro, you on the crate?

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yeah

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_02]: That what you doing here?

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Bro, I need money

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Like nigga, the money's in front of you

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Nigga, I know about you since 2014

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You ain't working hard enough

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Fuck this shit

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's gonna put in that work

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_02]: That you gonna put in

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Go back to your shit

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And grind it out

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't leave that right that day

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like that conversation just kept playing over and over my head

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Every time I get in an argument with a foreman

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Or anything like that

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, yo nigga, I can leave

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I ain't gonna have no bread

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But if I can like

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: He was like, yo, when was the last time you got a 4 o'clock in the morning for the crate?

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_02]: When was the last time you been like, yo, I'm gonna be on time for me

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what I'm doing

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And those things play over and over in my head

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, alright

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I got tightened up

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I say that to say

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Green eggs in hand

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the persistence

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That's where that lies inside of me

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: All those things like

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Make up how I feel about

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_02]: How I'm gonna go about anything that I do

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's funny

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody said the other day like

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, one thing I know about Rella

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He's not gonna do it if it's not right

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of people have been asking me about the clothes

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is where I can address that

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, bro, I'm working on you

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm working on being a better business person

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I can make clothes

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's evident that I can make clothes

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's evident that I can come up with creative shit

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not really more about the creative part for me

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It's more about the scale

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It's more about how I can get to the next level

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Like whatever that is imaginable

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And then after I get to that level

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: What's the level after that?

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't have a set number in my head

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I wanna take it as far as my mind can imagine

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That's where I'm at

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So when you feel fatigue, like mental fatigue

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like you still keep going

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you know, as a creative

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: You have your days where you're just like, man, fuck this shit

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause that's just typical, right?

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna say like, I need a break

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And as a creative, you should have a second to just be able to breathe

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm really on some like, yo, I gotta figure this shit out

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'm always up with the, I gotta figure this shit out, right?

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you have those hard days where you're just like, man, I'm gonna give up

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause this, you know, life is hard, you know?

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But you see it happening

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know what I'm saying?

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you see that shit happening

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta get that mind frame in your head like, yo, fuck

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I gotta go for it

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause like, what, you know, what do I have to lose?

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: As somebody said to me a while ago

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, you got the known life, right?

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_02]: The known life is what we're living in

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? It's like, oh yeah, I get up in the morning

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I go to work, you know, I pay bills

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, if I wanna get married, I get married, I have kids

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But what's the unknown life?

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? Like, what's that life that you can live

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And you might die never knowing about it?

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Damn.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? So it's like, nah, fuck that

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So the DJing shit and then with the business shit

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Just going, you know, do what I'm good at

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I get up and I gotta go get it

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_02]: That happens with that age thing

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That we said it was gonna go

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: What was the, uh

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_03]: One of your bigger mistakes?

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_03]: From the time you took on entrepreneurship to now

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Trying to do too many things on my own

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Or

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Trying to spread it myself too thin

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Trying to be a jack of all trades

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And amass that none

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, cause you just

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Kay had a lot of things

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's funny

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I was watching some shit the other day

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And the person was like

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, what was the best

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, thing you did as an entrepreneur?

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_02]: He was like, yo, I hired up and I got the fuck out the way

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I put people in position to do things that I'm not good at

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And I got the fuck out the way

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's, that's my thought process

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That I was like, I just wanna be good at what I'm good at

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_02]: If that's making people smile, laughing, having a conversation

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Creating

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I wanna do that

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything else, I don't want to do

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I wanna put the right people in place to do those things

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So that, you know, they call that the Disney effect

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: When Disney is like, oh, that person does this good over there

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's bring them over here, let's pay them a little bit more

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_02]: To do what they do, you know?

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So that, that's how I'm trying to get, you know?

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there's anybody out there

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: That's doing something that's like, none of us could figure out

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Just they were smart enough to know like, oh, I wasn't intelligent enough to do this

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So let me get somebody else to do it, you know?

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's funny, not to like put this out there

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: But I had a friend who wanted to invest in some shit while ago

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was just like, you're not smarter than me

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, no disrespect, like you're not

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You were smart enough to know that

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_02]: You ain't good at this

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So you got some, and I

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta get that same drive inside of me

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, wait, hold on

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not good at this, I'm not good at this, I'm not good at this

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So let me get somebody in here to do the things that they're good at

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_02]: You build a team or structure

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That you can take and you can drop into any business

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? So it's like, nah, fuck that

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not...

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't let you teach me that

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta teach myself that

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? So I was just like, you know what?

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, we're not gonna do anything right now

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna wait

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it wasn't more of

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Like an ego thing

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just like, no, I have to be

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I have to become smart on my own

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Get what I'm saying?

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Because that's how you become smart

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Through the mistakes

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? So it's like, nah, fuck that

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, we can't

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't wanna do nothing with you

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta figure this shit out

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause you could just, you could be like a seatbelt

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, and I'm not saying I don't want a seatbelt

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course I want something to save my life

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: But in that situation right there

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, nah

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You wanna be an entrepreneur

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: You have to figure it out

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially if you wanna be an entrepreneur

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: At the level that you say you wanna be at

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: A successful one

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you can't

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna have some people come through

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And they advise

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: But as they're advising

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: You have to be able to be like

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I got it

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I got it

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause I have a lot of people

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I love just talking to people

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So that I can be able to like

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Sharpen those tools

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Inside my brain

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Like alright

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I got it

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Bro

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo Linden reached the van with?

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like yeah bro

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Niggas said from El Mondello to the van with

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I said nah bro

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Niggas might not see my mic fucking around cutting my crib

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Right

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So now, luckily

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_02]: For him

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Menace the one that clonked out first

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was perfect cause it was like

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_02]: He wanted to fucking

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Clong out too but it was like

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Alright well since this nigga did it first

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm good man, I'm good to go

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_02]: After I said the shit, after I said that

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh I ain't pussy, I could not

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm gonna walk a little bit but I'm not gonna stop now

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It's over

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Right so now

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Niggas Menace falls on the ground

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Legs twisted in like the nigga on Don't Be A Menace

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Nigga legs is in there shaking

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like yo the fuck

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Nigga Menace

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Bro nigga you could literally see his calves throbbing

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he fucking died

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But Menace is a fucking trooper

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he pulled up the next day after that

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And so is Don, he ain't no bitch ass nigga

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But I knew that he wasn't ready for that 18

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_02]: 18 is like, it's a lot

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like we getting prepared for the marathon

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, it's the only reason I'm going in with those type of miles

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But if you are doing the long runs

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It really just comes down to a mental thing

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Even down to like when people be like, y'all

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Like the one of the homies hit me and say, y'all wanna run a half marathon

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, alright bet

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Pull up to the track, start there

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause we're like, we're not competition

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We helping each other

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's helping build each other up

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, yo, it's a marathon

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: The reason it's called a marathon

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause you can finish whatever time you wanna finish

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It has nothing to do with nobody else

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not, I'm not competing with anybody

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: When I'm out there running

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm competitive, yes

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But I don't give a fuck if you're ahead of me

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It means nothing, right?

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause I'm gonna finish too

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think something that we really say a lot is pace over speed

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause it's like, man fuck your PR

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't give a fuck about your personal record

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, oh you fucked that bad bitch, I could fuck her too

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's the same shit bro

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the same mentality

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't matter

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So I don't really go into this like, oh, I gotta be the fastest

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause none of you niggas is getting the Olympics

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Like you?

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_02]: None of you niggas are going to the Olympics

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's going to be the fastest man

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's going to finish this

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_02]: In under two hours

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So like, let's go out there

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Have a good time

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's empower each other to be healthy

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's big up some of the businesses in the neighborhood

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Really one of the main things of the Run Club was like

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, let's go around to these black businesses

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Juice bars in the neighborhood

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And let's put the first dollars in the register for the morning

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause what happened was

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_02]: We started doing the Nike marathon training

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was just telling one of my homies, y'all, I know how to run

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, nigga, you fat ass getting running

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, nigga, yeah, I can run

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Fast forward, started doing the Nike marathon training

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_02]: The homies Trip, Paul and Jaton

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Started coming and doing the runs with me

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_02]: After the runs was done

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_02]: The marathon training was done

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: We kind of just like separated

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Like not, we wasn't running no more

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just we was doing things on our own

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was like, nah, we need this sense of

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a sense of community that we was having every week

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That I enjoyed

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Like just the conversation sometimes

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Me and Jaton are having

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_02]: The first, I think

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_02]: The first encounter to make me say I want to do it

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Was like I was talking about it

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And they was like, yo, just started, just started

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And one of the homies was like showing me

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Run Club that started in North Carolina

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_02]: He was like, yo, look how much people show up to this shit now

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And I looked and I was like, damn, this is really good

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Like really impressive

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, you know, fuck it, I'm going to start it

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: The first day of, I think it was

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_02]: 2023

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: We ran 13 miles

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: First day of the year

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And Jaton, you know, we talked about it

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yo, I think I'm going to just start the Run Club

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And maybe like three weeks later, we started it

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And we didn't stop since

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Every week, we get it in

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's not about

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not about no bread

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not about like

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, seeing girls pull up

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: None of that

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: If it was old guys

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they say you can find love at the Crate Run Club

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Huh?

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what they saying on the timeline

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_03]: What they saying?

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_03]: You can find love at the Crate Run Club

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Listen, don't come here with your rolling tree

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Say that shit

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really about that feeling of community

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, we older

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So in us being older, we got to take care of ourselves

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_04]: True

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's where that like really ties

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yo, I'm like hell bent on making sure that we healthy

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And then as we get older

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You walking up a flight of steps

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_02]: You like, dude, you tired?

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, nigga, I ain't tired

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, let's get it

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We on the track tonight

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, I ain't gonna front

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I gotta say shout out to y'all

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I always tell you like, yo bro, I appreciate that

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Telling me to pull up to the Run Club

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Even though I ain't start shooting at first

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I was running

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So I just wanna say shout out to y'all

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause that gave me another

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That helped me push myself more

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause I ain't know I could do 10

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Like even Tom's always saying, yo

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Why we always do like one mile, two miles?

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like what?

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Who programmed that in our head to only say we can only do two miles?

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Right, so you know, I hate when people say that to me, right?

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Like people be like, yo, I can only do

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Because when I first started, I was like, I can only do

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And my man was like, yo, you're running 8.30, three miles

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you can run 8.30 a mile, three miles

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's run 9.30

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's dial it back a minute

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Get your breathing together

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And let's go the distance, right?

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So you take that same approach

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And you bring it into the business now

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You say, okay, boom

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not good at this, I'm not good at that

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm good at this

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm gonna do this at my maximum level

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_02]: To go as far as I can go

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm gonna put the other pieces around me that can

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, so it's like even when you look at

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_02]: They got the speed project

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Speed project is when, I think it's about 300 miles

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: They go from like, I think it's from LA to Vegas

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? They go through the deck

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's like, they got people who do it individually

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they got teams

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? So they might say, okay

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: With our team

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna start the

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The slowest person first

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And that slowest person is gonna do 50 miles

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're gonna do 50 miles

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they're gonna get back in the trailer

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And somebody else is gonna get out the trailer

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And do another 50 miles

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's just literally how it goes

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think like those pieces of teamwork

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Show you how you can be successful in business

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_02]: How you can be successful in running

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_02]: The running has really like

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: It's one of the most

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Freest moments I've ever been in my life

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Just like, I'm relaxed, I'm calm

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Some days, like the other day we ran with my homie Paul

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to him

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_02]: He ran every day for one year straight

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, when you hear that somebody ran for

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Every day for one year straight

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It could be today he ran 10

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Today he ran one mile

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But he did it every day

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Even in the rain, he knew in the rain, cold

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't matter what's going on

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I ran

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But the other day when we were celebrating his one year

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Runversary

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_02]: We ran with no music

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it was just like

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause you know the music can help you go

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You hear that song but it's like nah

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Today is just about being one

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: With yourself

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Hearing yourself breathe

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Hearing your rhythm in your feet move

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, it's a great feeling

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I still don't eat the best

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Within all of this

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's like

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, I got like something that I'm locked in on

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And it doesn't matter what's going on

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_02]: If something's bothering me

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not feeling right

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I could be like, yo, I'm just gonna get a run

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just gonna run real quick

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And just free my mind of this shit

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you figure out your purpose?

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Somebody asked me that the other day

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like nah

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I still don't know what my purpose is

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I'm here to

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I'm here to help other people

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why I like

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the weight on your shoulders

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody said to me one day

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, you know I know it's hard being you

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like why?

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Then like knowing that

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You could probably be the person

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That could take a lot of people around you

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_02]: To another level

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And you haven't figured out

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: How to get there yet

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like that

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I know that somewhere in this

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm supposed to help a couple families out

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Pay their bills and shit like that

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I know that that is supposed to happen

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So in me knowing that that's supposed to happen

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Is what makes me go a little harder

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause it's like

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Damn if I fail then they fail too

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: You think that's too heavy of a burden

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01]: To put on yourself though?

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, fuck that

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Fuck it

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Why not live with a

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_02]: With a little bit of like

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta make this happen

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_02]: They not gonna be good

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_02]: If I don't make it good

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta make it happen

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_02]: You always had all this confidence in yourself though?

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Who gave you that confidence?

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you got it from your parents or?

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Really shit?

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But I was always like really confident

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I always was like

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I can do that

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's just something within

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you grow up and you like

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause you could be super successful

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: We see it all the time

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: We see people that are super successful

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But they're not confident though

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So is that real success then?

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause you know

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: To

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It depends on who's looking at the confidence

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Looking at it, right?

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_02]: For me I'm confident

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Your best and worst investment

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I heard you talk about

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_03]: The amount of money you've had

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Versus

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Trying to acquire more money

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_03]: But within that

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_02]: My worst investment

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Was probably the strip club

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I was in the strip club a lot

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I be looking at these niggas in the strip club now

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I be like

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't even know bro

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't go broke nigga

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Them bitches will not

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Apologies

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean to call y'all bitches

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_02]: They will not

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_02]: They will not pull up for you bro

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have nothing for you

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_04]: You know?

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's funny

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I was gonna say

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_02]: The Crate is my best worst investment

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Because initially

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Before we opened the Crate

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_02]: We wanted to do

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_02]: A fucking

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: A seafood restaurant

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Food

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_02]: We ended up opting out to do the clothing brand

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Clothing brand is just so hard

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm working on some things

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So you know

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_02]: When I come back around

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Level it up

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_02]: But

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_02]: The Crate

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I say best worst

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's because

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It allowed me to build a lot of relationships

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It allowed me to learn business as well

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I've made a lot of mistakes along the way

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And like I said

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_02]: The mistakes along the way

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Is what allows you to be like

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Alright

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_02]: What's my next plan of attack?

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_02]: How do I go to the next level?

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause like

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_02]: The main thing we don't understand as

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Young black business owners

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Is scale

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_02]: We don't understand

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_02]: How to take something from a small black business

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_02]: To a company

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_02]: To where you have

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_02]: A hundred employees working for you

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just understanding how to delegate

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That don't mean you gotta speak to all a hundred people

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You have a top person in every department

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And you say

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay I'm gonna speak to you

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And you

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And you're gonna run all those other twenty people

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't need to

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not like no disrespect

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna show everybody love

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna give every

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Embrace everybody

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I need to speak to these five people

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So that I'm not cluster fucked

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I need to be able to understand

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_02]: What I'm good at

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Do that

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And put the other people in position

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: To do those other things

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So when I say best

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Worse

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Worse

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I probably just had to go with the crate

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's like

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It showed me good sides

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It showed me bad sides

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's been able to help me along the way

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_02]: As being a smarter business person

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_02]: When you build that system

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I seen this thing where this guy said

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: He sold 76 companies for a hundred and twenty seven billion dollars

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah I seen that on two companies

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Right?

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Sold 76 companies for a hundred and twenty seven billion

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw that

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_02]: 1.27 billion, right?

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Then he says he runs 80 something companies

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_02]: How does he run those 80 something companies?

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause he has a system in place

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And he can take that system

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And he can drop it inside of any one of those businesses

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's gonna be successful

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Me, that's where I'm at mentally right now

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to figure out

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_02]: How to build that system

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Put that shit in place

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And then be like

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Alright

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I can drop it inside of any one of these businesses

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're gonna succeed

[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's that

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's tough

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_01]: There's another thing you brought up as well

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Relationships

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We've seen you do a few things

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Bring a few people out

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I always want to know

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: The only thing I ask you about it

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, yo, how did you bring that gentleman to 40 projects?

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_02]: The moment I met him

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I had to take a minute

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And stop doing the crate for a second

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Because you know why?

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_02]: The business is not right

[00:50:09] Mmhmm

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I told you clothes is like

[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Easy for you

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fucking

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It's too easy

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like laptop DJ

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's too easy

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Like right?

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So when I'm telling you I'm trying to learn the business

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_02]: This is valuable for me

[00:50:24] Mmhmm

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:50:25] [SPEAKER_02]: When I'm telling you I'm trying to like

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah I'm trying to come with the plan

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I gotta sit down with somebody

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_02]: When I leave here today before I go to track

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And then tomorrow

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm building out a whole like scope of how I wanna

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Give them the crate

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And for a long time I was doing the same thing over and over

[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Expecting new results

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's insanity

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you're doing a podcast the same way every week

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And you expect new results

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Then that's insane

[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:50:57] Mmhmm

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's not that I'm pivoting too fast

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: This is some shit

[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Me DJing is some shit that I really love to do

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Like if I could I tell Don all the time

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't wanna DJ every week

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I DJ two three times a month

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Give me fucking a hundred thousand and I'll go lay down

[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Like and go or I'll go focus on the samples and shit

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Your bags and stuff that you see over there

[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_02]: That's me working on those are samples

[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Those are bags full of fabrics and shit that I'm like

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_02]: All right I like this I don't like this I don't like that

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You know but just taking my time to like see through how I can

[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_02]: scale this bitch

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:51:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Not spend you know like hustle

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Like cause you know people do clothing brands and they don't understand the business

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So they be like oh if I buy this t-shirt for $20 and I sell it for $60

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I made two times my money

[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_02]: No no no oh this t-shirt I wanna sell it for $60

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I need it for $6

[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So I could 10x my money

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm trying to do

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to figure out how I can build a bigger profit margin

[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_02]: If I could be able to hire up

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And I could be able to say okay I can market

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I can pay for expenses and I still got a little bit of profit on the side

[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So to most people they feel like when they see me DJing it's like oh this nigga

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_02]: He just oh he done with the clothes and it's like nah nigga

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Trying to get smarter than you niggas could ever

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Fuck no fuck that not trying I'm gunning that's what I'm doing

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_02]: That's I'm trying to build that shit that you've seen every day for your whole life

[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Champion, Nordica, Tommy

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You've seen this shit your whole life

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_02]: They sold you the same product every year and you brought it

[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Right?

[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's cause of how they marketed it to you, it's how they sold it to you

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's cause they understood how to margin and how to scale

[00:52:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Mmhmm

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the end goal like for me like it's not to make anybody in the hood you know even

[00:52:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yo good looking yo bro nah nigga

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Mmhmm

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not the reason DJing shit like I said to you is where it's at is because that mentality

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_02]: that I'm putting into the clothes is what I've showing you with the DJ shit

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmhmm

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I was very emotional about the DJ shit for a while and now I'm like I'm going through

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_02]: something and something's pissing me off I just talk to Skrulls about it and he deals

[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_02]: with it

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah Skrulls you know what I'm saying like we get paid like I'm getting paid to do that

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_02]: shit but at the same time that's just another you just seeing another element of me when

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_02]: how do we bottle all three those things up and I package that here boom I can do all

[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_02]: of this I can bring people outside that's community I can bring people to run that's community and

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I can bring people to buy my clothes that's community how do we connect all three of these

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_02]: communities and build some masterful shit we see all these brands doing it we see Kith

[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_02]: we see Aimee that's true we see these brands supreme we see them doing it but we don't know
