Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Morning, everybody in Steve j n V Jess hilarious, Charlamagne
the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. You got some
special guests in the building.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes, indeed, you got the brothers.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Troy and Rishard from Earn your leisure Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What's up man? How what's going on?
Speaker 5 (00:18):
Best? Good? Thank you for having us dope. It's our
first time in these studios.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's a nice thing I got.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Look at the artwork we've learned, our leisure man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That is true, that's true.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
About time we got some better.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We got some thrones in here to get out.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Hurt his back, hurt my back.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
The big ball.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
So invest Fest twenty twenty four back in the land.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
For people that don't know what invest Fest is, break
down what invests Fest is and why they should be there,
why they need to be fourth.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Annuel too, that's very important to.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Sayel for sure. So it's a we wanted to make
it where. You know, music festivals became very popular, right
from Rolling Loud to Coachella to Root's Picnic, and that
feel of a music festival, it's just a good vibe.
If you ever mental music festival and then business conferences.
Usually business conferences are more like Stush and more corporate,
(01:10):
so we wanted to combine a music festival with the
education and format of a business conference. So that's where
investments came from. So we got, you know, food trucks,
we got musical performances. We have a Vendom marketplace. But
we also have panels on crypto, on real estate, on stocks,
home buying, so all of the education is there, but
(01:30):
it's fun. It's a vibe. It's not stush. You don't
have to feel intimidated. It's for people that might have
just graduated from college, or for people that are CEOs
of companies right anywhere in between. So we want to
just create that vibe. And it's the fourth year and
then I feel like this year is going to be
the biggest year as far as our lineup, as far
as what we got give back and everything. So really
looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Break down the line of because I mean, y'all had
Tyler Perry before, So Tyler Perry, you said Bigger, So yes,
I love Tyler.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That that's business and entertainment, but y'all be having some
real big.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I think it's important to blend both, right, so people
can see aspiration from different aspects. So, yeah, Tyler Perry
is huge, but like if you see, over the past
couple of years, he's been mentoring a guy named Curtis Jackson,
and so fifty is our headliner this year, which is
incredible because we know him from music, right, we've watched
since two thousand and two when he took over. In
two thousd three, obviously when we get risk came out.
But now what he's done inside the world the business
is equally as impressive. But he hasn't had the opportunity
(02:25):
yet or given anybody the opportunity to talk about that
business acting. And I'm sure you know you watched your firsthand,
so that's important. We want to highlight him and his
success in business.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We got Steven A.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Smith what he's doing in media right now, sharing that
Sharp is going to be there for the IP night,
So what they've done inside the media is important. And
we got local entrepreneurs too, man, I mean, damon, John's
gonna be there, People's so you got all these heavy
hitters inside there, but I'm getting to the local entrepreneurs. Yeah,
so local entrepreneurs is important too, right, because Pigky Cole
is that next person up when we're.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Talking about a billion dollar evaluation.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
We've we're watching it happen in real time, and so
we want to have that comp that commerce and culture
mix where it's like, yeah, you could be a fortune
five hundred CEO, but you could be coming from high school.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like we got kids coming down there. We got a
hundred kids from New York City. That's fine.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Now we find fifty kids from our community so they
can see it, because once they see it, you can't
see it. I always tell people like in that's that's
it's cool, but you've got experience it in real life
in person, because it's just a different feel.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
One thing that I've been paying attention to. I see
that y'all got the Marathon gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, yeah, Black Sham.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well, Black Sam and JP JP they gonna be speaking
and then they bringing their whole team, but those two
will be on stage with us.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
And y'all got a partnership with Microsoft and and the
Marathon for a pitch competition.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yeah, and Lauren Lundon's gonna be there with somebody that
we it's crazy. We never got a chance to meeting it,
but he was one of the people that we definitely
wanted to interview because everything that we embody, that's what
he stood for as far as entrepreneurship and being independent
f the middle man, that's what that's like his whole slogan.
So we never got a chance to meet him unfortunately
passed away, but we really built wrong relationships with every
(04:00):
single person that was next to him or close to them.
So Black Sam Man, that's my guy. And you know,
Sam don't really talk too much at all, so you know,
like if you develop a relationship with Sam, it's a
real relationship. It's not like no industry shit. So we
wanted to on and Nip. We pitched to him the
idea of having a pitch competition kind of like Shark
Tank right where it's like we're gonna have one hundred
(04:22):
people and then the first round is the hundred people's
gonna audition like America's Got talent. Then from there for
people will be selected to the next round, and then
we're going to pick one person live on stage, and
the winner of that is gonna get a hundred thousand
dollars to their business. So it's a really dope opportunity
anybody can enter as long as you got to get
anybody can enter, and I think, you know, to be able.
(04:45):
We talk about access to capital a lot and fearless finally,
you know, for right, So they trying to take away
access to capitol. We already have no access to capital
really if you think about it. So anytime you can
really give people, you know, money towards their business, like
that's could be life changed. You never know what that
can turn into.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
So the money is one thing, but the information to
do with the money, So you'll give them that peaceful.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, for sure. So we're gonna be working with them
because you're right, we don't And that's part of the
vetting process too, to make sure that they kind of
already are on track to be successful, because you don't
want to give somebody money then they nothing is ever guaranteed,
but we want to make sure that we put them
in the best situation possible to win. So definitely mentorship.
We're going to give them all all of our resources
as far as like accountants, lawyers and stuff like that
(05:28):
so they can be successful. And yeah, so we had
that already done and then when Microsoft came in, they
wanted to be a part of it. So we was like, well,
this is something that we're doing if you guys want
to chip in on it. So it's a collaboration as
far as that one hundred thousand from Microsoft earn your
Lisia and the Neighborhood Nip Foundation, and we're doing that,
and Marathon is going to have a pop up shop
(05:49):
yes at Investments. That's their first pop up shop in
the landa in over ten years. And then Lauren London
we're doing a twenty five thousand dollars giveaway well Lauren
London to a woman led business in healthcare, so it's
it's a lot of give back. But you know, to
involve Nip's family I thought was just really really dope.
Iyda and like I said, they they've just been super solid,
(06:09):
like you know what I mean, Like Sam super solid.
So when we asked him, sat down with them and
they was like, yeah, let's do it, and he just
thought it was a great way to honor the legacy
of Nipsey Hussule. So that's something that we're definitely looking for.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
And the law and piece was so dope because obviously
we know the relationship with Marathon, but she was like no,
I have initiatives that I really like. So women's health
is like at the forefront of her everything that she
stands for, and.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
She's big on mental health and it's huge.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Huge on it.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
And so she was like, I would love to do it,
but here's the things I would love if we can
make it happen, And so shout out to our brothers
at Healthy MD. They were like, look, we have a
health and wellness business that we already run. We would
love to partner with them, and so the twenty five
thousand we'll be giving out to a women left business.
But also they're like, look, we're not only going to
do that, we're going to mentor you in this space
since we're experts in it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, they've hundreds of.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Millions of dollars that they've they've created and generated in business,
so like they're going to hold their hands through this
process make sure that the business gets off to the
right start with that twenty five thousand. So, like you said,
these things don't happen in our community, right and so
once we see this absence, we can fill the gap.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And that's what this is all about.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
There's so many people that you guys have in Atlanta.
Had any politicians have reached out to y'all because it
would be the perfect place for like Kamala Harris to
come speak.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Right, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad said that.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because she's so into entrepreneurship and small business.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Like you said, we we got to clipped this up,
We got.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
To clip this out.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
But yeah, we've been we've been speaking to her team
last year. So the idea was to get it there
last year, and just the time and the way everything
worked out and we weren't able to do it. And
so we've just been in contact with her and we've
been you know, hinting at it. We understand the importance
of the election, We understand the importance of Atlanta, Fulton County,
Georgia as a state overall what it means to the election,
(07:48):
and so we were able to you know, she invited
us over a few times. Shout out to the black
men that sat down with us at the dinner, and
then we sat down on her economic tour. You know,
that was something that was really important to her to
have black men talking about economics, and she wanted to
kick it off with us in Atlanta. Yeah, we did yeah,
we did in April, so that was dope. And so
you know, at the time, it was like, Okay, all
(08:08):
roads are pull into Atlanta, this is great. It's so
far out that we can't put it on the calendar
just because that's just the way politics works in a sense.
And she said to hit us back in the first
week of July, and we did, and then the third
weekuld Lie, everything kind of changed, right because she's a
little she's.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
A little busy, so she's a little busy. But you know,
stay tuned.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I think. But like you said, I mean, I feel like,
to me, it would be a no brainer for Heart
to come if she's available, because tens of thousands of
people and having a serious conversation about economics and addressing
issues like what's a black job and access to capitol
these are real serious conversations I think we need to have.
So yeah, we still we still.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, stay tuned. I saw she had the rally in Atlanta,
so that's what.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I'm saying, This is gonna be a different conversation.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
I was I've bember rocking with the VP for a minute,
and one of the things that I've always been attracted
to her about is you know, her stance on economics,
what she wants to do for small businesses. So when
y'all y'all kicked off the nationwide economic told with her,
y'all sat with her. What about her economic plan? Do
y'all like, I'm not trying to make get an endorsement
and nothing. I'm just like, I'm an issues person. Yeah,
(09:14):
so I support her for this issue.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Well one thing as far as like just the openness
to be willing to listen. Like we sat down with
her a few times, and I respect the fact that
she's not coming in saying I know everything, Like you
know what I'm saying. She's like, YO, tell me, like
what do I need? Like, first, the conversation is what
is the disconnect between black men and the administration? That's
(09:37):
before that's when she was a vice president. You know
a lot of black men unhappy with Biden. A lot
of black men are still even unhappy with her. So
she wanted to know what was causing that unhappiness, right,
And I thought that that was big of her to
like not talk to us, to listen to us. Same
thing with economics, you know, we spoke to them, and
we spoke to a bunch of the Democrats on Capitol Hill,
(09:57):
and they were like, well, what do y'all need? And
we told them, like, you know, access to capital is
important right where there's seventy three billion dollars out there
and we get less than one percent, Like, how we
going to really scale businesses if we don't have money
to start the business, right, Like, that's important. So we
was telling a few different things and she was willing
to listen, and I know that that's something that she
(10:18):
has championed as far as access to capital and something
that she said that she was definitely wanting to improve
the situation. We have to kind of see the details
of it, but she definitely spoke to us about access
to capital.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Bringing back the middle class, making sure everybody started.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Student loans was one of the big things that she
talked about. And obviously I'm a prosal ownership. I was
just going to get into that. So the home ownership
piece was huge. Right when we look at wealth inside
of our country, specifically for our community, we know that
only forty five percent of us own homes, but if
you look at anybody's wealth that's been created, it's comes
from home ownership. And so having incentives for new home buyers.
I was like, this is a piece that we need.
(10:53):
It's missing. So like answering those questions, the student loan questions,
it's like, all right, well, these are solutions, especially because
we suffer, right, Like we don't have the capital to
pay for the tuition, right so we go into that
and that debt cripples us for years and years and years.
So to know that's on the forefront of her mind,
to understand that she has a plan, Like she said,
she's listening, she's receptive to it. It was dope, man.
And she's invited us a couple of times. So it
(11:15):
tells us that she's aware of what's happening. She understands
that we have an audience that she needs to tap into,
and so.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
We're very aware of it. But it's dope that we
have the heir of somebody at that.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Let me, I want to get your opinion. You saw
what Trump was at the National Black Journalists.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, National Association with Black Journals.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
You think it would be a good idea if we
have Trump and investors or don't do that?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I mean, here's my thing, And I said this about
the National Association Associational Black journalists. Their journalists their job
is to be objective and biased. All they all they're
all they're there to do is bring the person in
front of the audience and ask the question, like, why
why do we as black people, because this is a
black thing, right, why do we as black people beat
each other up about this kind of stuff?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
About platforming? I speak.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
This guy can be on CNN, MSNBC, ABC doing the
same thing and nobody says, why y'all platforming them? As
soon as earn your leision does it? Our breakfast club
does it? You're platforming it.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Why.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't understand that logic. I really don't exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I take a step further, like, I mean, this is
a business festival, right, Love Trump, hate Trump, however you
feel about him. He came from Queens and he damned this.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
They say.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He built New York City when a time when everybody
was running away. So to get in his mind, to
see what his mind frame was, how he did it,
what was his mind process, how he got the money
and how he did all that.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't see why not. I don't see why that
would be a problem.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
You're talking about the future of the economy. So like
when we're talking about investing when we're doing market money,
it's it's important that if he's going to put tariffs
on China, they need to know like what does that mean? Right,
Like when he talks about tom what does that mean?
What does the foreign policy mean? Especially for American companies
when we're talking about investing, Like you would want to
hear those answers if this is going to be the
guy who's going to lead the nation of the next
four years. So I mean you got to look at
(12:55):
it from a half context on it, but half perspective
as well.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So what business What businesses growing the quickest now?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Because you know, coming from New York and.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Queens usually we only see basketball and rap right hip hop,
But there's so many businesses growing now. So what's the
number one business that more and more people are asking
you guys to talk more about because they're getting into
for sure.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Like this year we got five different panels. Shout to
Van Jones. He put together a whole curriculum because you
know he just got one hundred.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Mill platform and Van Jones, but nah together everybody WoT ai.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
So like that's the like this technology thing is really
changing the world. Then if you use it, you understand,
like it's damn near magic, right.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What's your thoughts on they Because you know kids, a
lot of kids and a lot of y'all came from education.
Kids ain't studying the same way when they get this,
type it in there to AI and say type me
a ten page paper and it comes right in and
then all they gotta do is just kind of just
take words in.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
If you're an educated then you have to be adaptive
to that, right, Like you got to be responsible with
the education.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
The way you used to teach is not going to
be the way of the future.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
And so that's why we talk about education reform because
it's important, right, like the textbook days is over man,
so like the quicker than we understand that, the better
we'll be able to adapt and use these things tobout benefit.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But I feel like black people a lot of times
we have a lot of fear of things that we
don't understand. So you see things like yo AI is
going to take the jobs, and even Trump plays towards
that like they're going to take black jobs, right, And
we interview Don People's and he was kind of he
has a relationship with Trump, so he was kind of
speaking kind of friendly about him, but he said something
(14:33):
that was key, and he was like he didn't think
he's racist. He thinks he has an outdated view of us,
meaning like he still looks at black people as this
nineteen seventy, nineteen eighty, like know what I'm saying, Like,
these are your jobs, like because they don't look at
us as like leaders in industry, right they don't look
at us as like we can exactly like on that level,
and we don't look at ourselves that way either a
(14:53):
lot of times. So I think we can't be scared
of this technology because it's gonna come one way or another.
It's like a tsunami. Either you prepare for or you're
just gonna get washed away. So they say it's gonna
take over two hundred million jobs over the next ten
years globally, and some people say that's a low estimate,
but it's also going to create jobs, and it's going
to create a lot of wealth. To you look at
a company like in video. Nobody even heard it in
(15:13):
video five years ago the average everyday person. Now they're
the third second most valuable company in the world, right, Like,
over the course of eighteen months. So that's because of technology.
That's because of AI. So I feel like we use
AI all the time and it's only going to get bigger.
So for the kids, to answer your question, it's similar
(15:35):
to when a calculator came out. Right, Like before you
used to have to actually physically do long division, but
then once you realize that the calculator allows you to
do it much quicker, you still have to be educated
enough to know how to work the calculator. Like even
chat GBT, you have to be educated enough to ask
the right questions top it to know what okay, now
this is a little offy, Like you just can't just
have no brain at all and let it think for
(15:55):
you because then it's not gonna work properly. So I
think that the only thing that we can do is
educate ourselves on AI because there is no way around it.
And like some of the stuff, like even we met
with what I am, he's going to be there, some
of the stuff that he told us.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Was different future years ahead of us.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
He's one of my favorite people to talk to you.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I mean, he talked for like two straight hours and
we were just like, don't we can't even share some
of the stuff he was saying I even know.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm like, how do you sleep knowing all this information?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
He's twenty years ahead of us.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
The interesting part about the Nvidio pieces that we spoke
to the exact stay right, and they're like, this is great,
Thank you guys for information. Because people are investing in
they are making money, but the employees have made a
lot of money too, right, So you got to think
about that. A lot of times when they give you
a salary they said, well, we'll put some in stock, right,
company shares?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
What is it exactly? Because every time I see it
looked like like a herpes commercial.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Herpes medication, Like what idiot from herpes? It looks like.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Just sounds like a herpees cha.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Your perspective is out.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
So Video is a semi conductor company, right, So we're
talking about chips that go inside pretty much all electronics.
So inside of your computer, inside of your phone, inside
of this microphone. They have the fastest GPUs, which your
graphic process in units is those are what makes AI
run efficiently, run faster. So they're at the leader that
they're at the forefront of it, but they're employ I
(17:25):
was going back to that their employees have made money
because of the stock is going up, and so now
you've had employees that are now multi millionaires and they're like,
all right, well we might just leave and do our
own things. So in videos like thank you guys for
the information. But what we really need is we need
people that look like us to now come and innovate. Right,
So they're like, Yo, how do we get to investor us?
(17:45):
How do we show up? Because we're looking for the talent,
we have to be the talent. If not, when we're
talking about prompting, who's creating that, who's doing the engineering right,
who's doing the language models, it's not going to be us.
So we have to be a part of that. So
that's why it's important to be educated, but also to
say this is something that you can do. Right, So
we see athletes, we see entertainers, but like, you could
work for the wealthiest company in the world. It's not
(18:08):
just Apple, it's not just microphones. Plenty of other companies
that you could have an impact on it.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's why you think our schools need to change the curriculum,
Like I think HBCUs need to change the curriculum a
lot of times because a lot of times they don't
offer the classes, and if they do, it's a very
intro class. And that's what I've been saying all the time.
We need to, like you said, we need to take
a perspective and look what's happening in the world. And
there's no disrespect to a lot of those classes and
courses that they have, but the world is changing, and
I feel like a lot of times our colleges aren't.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
The world has changed. It's over.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Y'all said something earlier that made me think about the chat,
GPT and stuff. You know, I've been playing with it
a lot. It's really not smarter than humans yet, Like
the information is still pretty basic. I'll be asking certain
questions perfect Like I have questions that I know the
answers to.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Are you using the free version?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No, I'm paying it. I'm paying. But it depends how
you use the show that I'm using. Make sure I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Man is outdated. Yeah, you're good at the point.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, well all right, you can use it like Google.
It's not like you're using it like Google, like like
you know how many square miles is the ocean? Right?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
No asking questions like like I'm I'm prompting it, like
you said.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
We well, how I use how I'll use it is
all right? So you guys put this show on YouTube, right,
and then in YouTube you have a description, right, so
somebody actually has to actually physically write the description. Right. Ear,
Your Lisia comes on talks about uh investments, talking about
like I used to actually have to do that for
your Leadia, and you know it takes time, right, So
what I do now is that I'll just take key
(19:42):
points that we spoke about, right, and then I'll just
say we had a conversation at the breakfast club, write
a three paragraph description, put hashtags at the end, and
then it just I'll just feed it to them and
then within three seconds it'll write the whole thing. Right.
That's way more efficient for me because that saves me
probably half an hour as opposed to me writing then
I got a spell check what I wrote stuff like that.
(20:03):
So in that regards, it thinks much quicker than the
human because I can't write something in three seconds.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I can't write, So it's able to interpret information on
one hundred thousand times faster than the human brain.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
But is it good, Like I'll give you like writing
a script, right, Like there's certain times I put in
prompts with different scripts and I read it and it's like, well.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
That's the first version of it, right, so then you
you after you go through it again, now you prompt
it again until you get to the final version that
you want. The fact that it can create it whereas
like you might have if a writer has writer's block,
it can create for you, right, if he has the
writers it's going to create for you. And so it
moves and it becomes more efficient as you use it,
So it starts to learn you.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It starts to learn your patterns.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
It was it was saying like, if you let it,
if you prompt it over three months, it has a
high school level education. Right after six months, it has
like a college level education. I think now I think
chat ebt is now at it passed the bar. So
it's learning, right, and only thing that's going to do.
That's all it does is learned. And all it does
is get better every single day.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Right.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
That's why people like it's gonna lose jobs because number one,
it's going to be more efficient. It never stops working.
It doesn't need health insurance, right, and it's going to
give you results that are going to help you with
creativity and the process. So you're going to eliminate people
from that process, but there are going to be jobs
that are created inside of it as well.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
You could do a fly it can do an investment
flyer meeting, and it does. But like you said that,
that takes jobs away from a lot of people because
now you don't have to go to a graphic designer.
You go in and be like, you know what, I
don't like this picture. Put this picture in redes it
right away, and it's it's you know, it's.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Dope in radio too. Like a lot of times, the
same as you'll know how this works is like yo,
create the ad. A lot of times I'll just say
all right, well create this ad.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Poom, it's done. It's efficient. Where sometimes I remember when
we was first getting these ads, I'm like, I.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Gotta think of the story. How we're going to write this.
I sent submitted to the company and they're like, oh,
can we do it over? Can you add this? You know,
say this. I'm like, all right now. I was like
twenty seconds, I'm done. It's more efficient.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What I'm intrigued about is the next level of social
media that's going to incorporate AI, Like how we got
the twitters and the instagrams now and we're we're on
these things.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
But what happens when you're actually in these things? You know?
Speaker 7 (22:15):
And like there's a company called me Kai that I
think is is gonna be at the forefront forefront of
that because.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They could literally take this, They could take this room.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
You can use your phone and turn this room, the
breakfast club studio into a digital into a digital space
that you're now in, so you're not just watching to earn.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Your legion interview. You're like right here, like and from
my purview, sitting right now.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
That's the sports thing I think.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
They're doing that. They're doing that with them the biggest thing.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Like if I could pay one hundred dollars and I'm
court side and I can watch Lebron or boxing, basketball boxing.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Like entertainment, that's gonna be still you know.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
What I'm saying, because how many people can actually afford
to sit court ringside when Tank is fighting. But if
I if I could pay a hundred dollars, I'll put
the glasses on and now I can actually feel like
I feel like I'm actually in the fight. I feel
like that's going to make sports way more enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
The reality here, right if y'all use the Vision Pro.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
So if you go to go in the Vision Pro
and entertainment else telling the guys like Alicia Keys has
this interactive studio session. I mean, it's ridiculous. You're in
the studio with it and as you're looking around, everybody's
looking like it's live. So imagine when you're sitting courtside,
Imagine when your ringside. Imagine when you can't afford to
go to see Beyonce but you can sit at the concert.
Imagine how much more revenue that is because she can
(23:29):
only sell a certain amount of season and arena, I
don't care if it's if it's Wembley, it's ninety thousand.
She could do a million of those, right, So, like
think about the revenue that now gets generated from that aspect.
So it's the thing. It's here, like we're talking about like,
it's no, it's already here and we got to realize
it and take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So who's the company that creates that.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Telling you go look at me Ka that company doing
it now, they're doing it with the NBA, they doing
it with Wall Street Journal, like they're already doing it
at the next level of what we're all doing. Imagine
when you can sit in on earn, you lead you
conversations like you just said, I don't have to be
at in Best Fest, but I can be at invest Fest.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Right, it's here, and the next piece is going to
be that everybody's gonna have their own individual AI. So like, yeah,
y'all remember the movie Her when yeah, yeah, when he
sat in there, I think it's Jaquing Phoenix. He's sitting
in the room and the AI is in his house
and he starts to have developed feelings for this AI
and the relationship, but when he leaves the house, he
can't really have the same So he comes home it's
(24:25):
almost like his wife in a sense, but it's AI.
But imagine what that's what you all the time, and
it's learning all your your prompts.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
He knows your schedule is.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Don't encourage that.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'm just telling you. That's what's that I'm not.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Telling you out here with So we was Indvos, right,
We thought the same way until we saw somebody who
created this company called Soul And it's a virtual relationship,
right because campaign so now as people are on social
media more right, they're not going outside, they're not meeting people.
(24:56):
Some people are introverts. They're creating AI to have companionship.
It's happening right now in.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The making picks and all that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I don't know about that. You got to prompt it.
I don't want you to try both. I don't need
I don't know if I need to try it. But
I'm just telling you what's happening.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Try both.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
If somebody told me all he ever got was AI,
I'm like, all right, come on, bro, like go outside,
please try.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
But that's what live would be like. You think about
it like this.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Instead of going live on Instagram and one of those things,
you go live right here and somebody could say, well
I got a question, and they can type.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
In the question.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
They could be in the movie.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Absolutely, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's dope.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
You know, we talked about this with sad uh offline
about the Black Online Different Disinformation.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Study that they did.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
They put us in there.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
We were together and you made me think about when
you broughtup the Trump question, how did you How did
you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I thought it was I spoke to them and shot
to her. You know, we kind of cleared up a
few things she said that I thought it was irresponsible
because once again only black people get criticized for having others.
It's like, if you don't think this way, you're working
for rush. It's like Wall Street journal can speak to
(26:07):
whoever they want, they can go wherever they want. Nobody cares.
Right once we start to go anywhere outside of what
they think we should be, which is an extremely liberal platform.
Right now, oh man, you're off the rail. So to
say like we are responsible for spreading misinformation, I just
don't even understand that, right because it's like for us,
(26:29):
we only really we've only had Democrats on I would
speak to a Republican, but they've never reached out to us.
But you know, I just feel like that was something
that shows that certain demographics of people don't really respect
black journalism. They say they do what, they don't really
respect black journalism, Like they look they don't look at
us the same way that they look at white counterparts.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I don't know black journalism respects black journalism. It's true,
that's fact. Wonder especially after what we just saw. It's
like when I saw people stepping down because Trump was
coming to the you know, and ABJ. I'm like, why
you're a journalist, like he come there and you press them.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
It's personal, right, Like people put that, they take it personal.
They forget like the entegrity of what you're supposed to
be doing. Like you said, our job is to ask questions.
Your job is to answer the questions, right. The people's
job is to say, all right, interpret those answers. Is
this a person that I think I want to vote for?
That's that's the job, right. So to see the criticism,
(27:25):
to see the backline, especially from our community, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
People are scared though.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
People are scared to say what their thoughts are because
this society is so quick to cancel somebody, which is
and you cancel somebody for an opinion, you know what
I mean? And we always say, you know, vote your interest.
But if you want to vote Trump because Trump is
doing something in your interest, you should be able to
do it without being canceled. Of course, we could have
a conversation, we could agree to disagree, but to the
point where people are trying to cancel and saying I'm
(27:50):
not working with you no more. I'm stepping down because
the craziest thing I liked.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
What Rachel Scott did. Rachel Scott was the young lady.
She pressed the one on stage that was holding his
feet to the fire. I like that you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
The general thing. I didn't understand it that they did
this on purposele Why was there only Why was there
three women?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
No men? I didn't understand that.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
I didn't understand that. I feel like there should have
been some some masculine energy to kind of I don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
That would have been perfectly probably. I mean, the campaign
is probably like there's certain people that are not gonna
do this with and that's probably what was the situation
where it was like, he's not gonna.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
But it's a gift in the curse too, because it's
like for your platform, for our platform. They look at
it like they have a personal relationship with us, right
because they've gotten to know us personally. So that's helpful
on a certain level, but it's also harmful because they
get disappointed or they have expectations or they where they
don't look at Fox or CNBC or they don't look
at that as personal. They know that's just news. They
(28:49):
just know that's just news, right, So there's no disappointment
if somebody if they do something that they don't agree with.
But all of Black I've noticed this, the Black outlet
are all like personal brands almost Like let me say,
it's like they don't look at it like a media company,
look at it like a one on one like you,
my homie and I don't agree with something. Now I'm
(29:11):
gonna talk crazy in your comments. You sold out because
one day we are puppet for the Democrats and the
next day we help manage it for like making you
up on the time.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
I mean, I literally have watched every interview that you've done,
and I'm like, do they think he's gonna say something different?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Like he's been saying the same thing.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
You're a political hot rod though I noticed like you personally,
like you cause a lot of friction and puption, like
you've become like a political person.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
But it's good though, Like everything I was saying about
Biden last year was absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I didn't think he could win in November.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah, I thought it was a fair question to ask
if the Biden has ticket is something that you can
win in November, and if the if the threat the
democracy is so great like we see it is, why
are you running somebody that can't win. And now you
see what happened. He stepped down. Now they got energy again.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Big energy.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
But you know, showed me how how quick public is.
They're so fickle. Because even when we met with Kamala
the first time, we couldn't. I didn't even post the
picture vice president Kamala, I didn't even president. I didn't
even post a picture on page because I just knew
it was gonna be so divisive, and because a lot
of people didn't like her. Remember, people were saying, like,
where has she been? I haven't heard from her? Like
(30:26):
it was just all native. Then now everybody loves her. Yeah,
it's just going to show you man like get her
is so fickle. And then like media can, media is
real powerful. Like the media really started to champion her
and they picked up momentum, and then in two weeks,
her whole thing just shifted one eighty from people saying,
(30:49):
you know, where has she been, she's been, she's hidden,
she hasn't said anything to now like people like she's
gonna be the next president. I'm just like I always
we had a good relationship with her, so I knew
that she was, you know, always capable. But it's just
interesting to see how quickly public perception.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm excited about that.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
I'm excited about the fact the last two weeks and
even when she started doing the economic form, I feel
like I'm starting to see the Vice President Kamala Harris
we see off camera on camp.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
And I think that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Like we've been in the room, and so when people
are talking like now we know it, Like she's a
really good person, like when you talk to it. So
to see this happened now is like, oh, it's due time.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
The interesting part is like she can, can she do it?
And who is she going to do it with? So
like the next thing is like who's going to be
at her VP camp?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Governor Shapiro, You.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Do like Pennsylvania. Yes, That's why I predicted, just for
the momentum.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
And the youth and the importance of that swing state.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
We've had him up here. He's a good dude. I
like some of this.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
I liked a lot of the stuff he was doing
in Pennsylvania before he was even in the VP conversation.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That's why we had him up here.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
Yeah, the prison reform, the probation reform, he did with me.
What is it called the Clean Slate Act? I think
it's called like he's doing a lot of those stuff
from PA.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
That's your prediction, I hope.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
I had the same one, and you know, you said
something else to or shot that made me think about it.
I think what got people excited about the VP is
the fact that they know she probably can win because
I think people are starting to be aware of Trump more,
meaning like they're paying attention to what's happening with the
Supreme Court. They've read Project twenty twenty five, Like it's
not just the rhetoric they're getting from the cable news channel,
(32:25):
They've actually done.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Some due diligence and seen it.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
They've seen the presidential immunity for a president president away
with crimes, Supreme.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Court judges and elected phutials could take bribes.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Now, Like, if that don't wake you up to what's
going on and how much of you know democracy?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Is that threat? You gotta you bugging?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:41):
I sent some of the child's Well, I've seen wakaaka
post yesterday and it was like all the things that
he wanted to support was everything that that the Trump
was against, and so he was it was like the
education process. It was like I saw people in the
comments like trying to educate him on the process. He
was like, yeah, I can vote what I want want
to vote for, which is all good, but understand, like
the education of like your reasoning and deductive reasoning.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Does it does it align with what you're doing?
Speaker 6 (33:06):
So I think that education process is the port where
you're getting it from is important too. So I'll be
telling people like, look, you know, don't just watch MSNBC.
Don't just watch fives right, like, actually do some research,
get like a cumulative assessment of the candidates that you're
trying to choose the issues and then make it educated decision.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
It's important for our platforms to remain neutral. And that's
why I try to tell people too. It's like we
met with the Democrats and went to the Capitol Hill
and all that, but we're not representatives of the Democratic Party, right,
so we have to remain neutral because if not, then
we lose credibility and it doesn't even mean anything as
(33:43):
far as the journalism and now they can just kind
of use us for whatever they want to do. So
we always remain neutral and try to just stay in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
And some hold them accountable, always support them.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
You got you gotta hold people accountable, and you got
to have converse with every single person, right, because it's
like once you start to alienate the whole entire side,
now you essentially just kind of cut off half of
the situation, right, and that's not really beneficial. So I
feel like that the Republicans have done themselves or tremendious
disservice because they don't really try. Like for us, they
(34:18):
we've never got no Republican has ever really reached out
to us ever.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Now we started getting that this year. Yeah, this year
we got a lot of them. We had Ni up here,
we had a Vi Grammar Swami up here.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
But your platform is y'all very very mainstream, right. We
are still like more on underground, right, but you should
be aware enough to know that we have a following.
So it's like, you guys, if they don't reach out
to you guys, then they just are completely incompetent. But
it's like for us, it's like if you're not if
we're not on your radar, then that lets me know
(34:51):
that you're not really trying. You're not even looking to
have to see what's under the surface what's bubbling with
you know, culture is really gravitating towards So I feel
like they're doing themselves at their service because if they did,
we would we would answer it because their conversations are important.
But if not, then we're not. We're not going to
go out of our way to try to cater to
them as well.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
And we got hold them accountable.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And from a businessing point too, when we had conversations
about media black media specifically in platforms, and about the
ad money that goes into campaigns, well, how much does
it go to us?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Right?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Like, if you're going to put ads on the show,
you're going to put at like we're talking about I
know that they just released that there was a one
point five million dollars initiative to give to black media,
but I'm like, you're talking about it almost one hundred
and fifty million dollars budget.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Right.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
You need that vote, right, You cannot win a reflection
without this vote. So to put that percentage a little
bit of allocation to a platform or an audience that
you need, it's almost a disservice.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
So we gotta hold the accountable flat too.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Well, what's been the success stories from investments over the
last four year.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Oh man, so many man. I feel like, well, first
I'll speak to our success story because that's something that
we can relate. So we last year, it was a
gentleman that came from Ghana to invest Fest and he
had just heard about it, and long story short, he
came there. He came to invest Fest and he was
very impressed by invest Fest, so he wanted to connect
(36:12):
with us. So Chaco Bar has actually connected us. We
went to Ghana, they hosted us. Turns out, so you
heard the Afro Future. He's one of the people that
that those Afro Future Polo Beach Club. If you ever
been to Ghana, they own Post, they owned Polo Beach Club,
they own they own a bunch of real estate everything.
So they connected with us. They're like, yo, we got
three hundred acres of land and we want to build
(36:34):
on it. And they're like, well, what's the play and
they're like, well, I want to. It's crazy because we
already had this idea of bringing people from the diaspora over,
but not just to party and leave right like actually
more sustainable, like by real estate, building community. So we're
actually working on building the community with the brothers from Ghana.
That's all because of investmentest right, But this vendors, we
(36:57):
interviewed a venda that made three hundred thousand dollar and
been the marketplace selling services. We interviewed another vendor who
is a husband and wife combination and they met to
Bet who was Steve Harvey's partner, and then from there
they developed a relationship and they took their business from
making like ten thousand dollars to now they've made over
(37:19):
three million dollars just in the vendor marketplace. And the
people that have want to invest, fest and learn, and
they actually purchased a home from the information that they
that they received. So the networking is just unbelievable. And
then the information, when you add the networking with the
information is definitely an opportunity to change your life.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Yeah, we were with our brother Ray Daniel's and it
was like, look when I walked into that marketplace. I've
never been to Black Wall Street, but I would imagine this.
This is what it looked like when you have just
all these over four hundred businesses, people networking, people created ideas,
excuse me, and actually finding networking pieces. Right, it might
be your investor or it might be your next business partner,
(37:57):
or you might look and say, man, I want my business,
excuse me to scale like that. And so now people
are getting ideas how to grow their business. And then obviously,
you know, we come through the marketplace, but we're not
just walking by ourselves. We're bringing We're bringing Tyler Perry too, right,
We're bringing Ropert Smith through. So like just to have
the opportunity to see that in real person and like
have a moment with that, it's incredible because they're looking
(38:18):
at it as.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
A way to invest as well.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
I know Steve Harvey walks through and he's like, all right,
I want every piece of art that this person has.
Like there's opportunities in there that just don't exist. So
imagine you just started your business. So you're in, you're
one or two of your business, and you might see
ten thousand customers throughout the year. You're talking about fifty
thousand people in three days. It just doesn't happen. It's
a very unique opportunity.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Did he ever give you all a million? Or he
just did the big check thing?
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Good question, You want to know the whole story behind that.
Of course, so did he? So he all right, So
this is before invest Fest last year. Obviously, before everything happened,
we was working with Revolt and they're like, yo, did
he want to give you guys a million dollars to invest?
At first? It was supposed to be a million dollar
for us to invest for him, right, And we're like, nah,
let's let's do something a little bit more creative, right,
(39:05):
Like let's get the get the million dollars, but let's
like showed it in like real time, be transparent, and
then like break it up. So we'll put like one
hundred thousand the stock market. Then we'll go to like
Louisiana and we'll buy a multi family home. Then we'll
give it to like an entrepreneur in Texas to start
a gas station. So we was gonna actually like show
what we were doing with the million, Like the millions
(39:25):
has grown to two million has grown to and he
didn't even want any money. He was going to any
of the profits. We was gonna split the profit and
he was gonna give his his part to charity and
then he's gonna give us the other half. So we
had been talking about this for months. So when we
was gonna make the announcement, we're like Yo, we should
make the announcement that invest Fest, like you're gonna come
like it, it would make sense to do it on invest Fest.
(39:46):
So they liked the idea. So yeah, they gave us
the check on stage, so if anybody has because it's
important to educate the audience, right Like, so when they
do like those big Kinkos checks, contrary to popular belief
on the internet, you can't take that check into Bank
of America and cash that check. I see you got
(40:11):
the money. Bro gave me the check. I'm like, that's
not signed, so all right, so that's like for show right.
Then after that then lawyers have to kind of work
out the final agreement or whatever, and then they wired
the money to you, right so that could take a
couple of weeks, but it took a couple of months.
We never got it. And I will say this, I
think that he had the intentions of giving it to us,
(40:33):
because he actually called after He's like, did I get
the money yet? But no, I ain't get it yet.
But his team and I can't even knock them. They
were doing their due diligence. They wanted to make sure
it was right that the you know, the legal agreement
and everything. So it was just taking a long time, right,
It took like from investments in August to like October.
It's still now. It wasn't ten months.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
It was like, so we started the conversations.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Yeah, we got the check, the big check, so and
I told we still do and get it right. And
then in November everything.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Happens and then and you knew it was over.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
It was over. We didn't even bother so we never
got the physical money. But also that's important to kind
of clay up too. It wasn't a donation to us.
It was he wasn't investing in earning your leisure. We
were going to invest the money for him and the
proceeds was going to go to charity. Right, So that's
another you know, people kind of create their own natives,
like yo, did he gave y'all a million dollars, so
(41:25):
y'all can't talk about him. He never gave us a
million dollars. And even if we did get the million,
it was never we would never. It was never going
to our bank account. It was never going to earn
your leisia. It was going to be invested, right. But
but yeah, that that never actually ended up happening.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
But that's not even something y'all would talk about. I mean,
I see you know, y'all do the blackout.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Now you and you and y'all talk about more socially
culturally stuff.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Financial, Why did y'all start doing that?
Speaker 5 (41:51):
Just dude, Yeah, because you know, it's like we want
to just have some diversity, so earn your leisure. We
interviewed entrepreneurs market Monday. We talk about stocks, but we
we have like other views, right, and I just we
just wanted to kind of be a little bit more
like you know, free range to talk about whatever. We
wanted to talk about what there's conspiracy theories, relationships, whatever.
So that show, it's a nighttime show, comes when at
(42:13):
ten o'clock, kind of like wanted to do like a
you know how they have like late night shows. So
that was like that was like our spin on like
a late night show. We bring different guests on, like
poor minds. They wouldn't really necessarily fit in the ecosystem
of early leisure, but that allows that's a place for
them to fit, like so stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (42:30):
So it's a it's a blueprint that that you you
have right here, right like you have Breatherst Club, but
you got brilliant. It's a different format and it's different
views that you can express. So it's like the box.
We always talk about box. Never let anybody put you
in the.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Box, but they want they want to keep with.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
So like even now when people watch it, they're like, yo,
what y'all turned into this?
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Like why are y'all not talking about investments? I'm like, yo,
you know, that's just.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
One part of our life investments every day.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Day, dude?
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Do people get mad at y'all? Like, like if y'all
give your opinion on the Kendrick and Drake like you know,
I mean, like you'll stay stick to stocks. I mean,
like y'all can't have an opinion, you know, I mean.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
What does this have to do with economic empowerment? Six years?
Every day? Like we our life is more than just
reading stock charts, Like we actually like a variety of
different things, and we've been doing this way before we
got into business. So it's like, I think it's important
to have diversity and that makes it more relatable right
(43:24):
where it's like just regular people. It's not like we're
not and we never put ourselves out there. Is like
the Holy Saints where it's like we can never have
an opinion about a relationship, we can never have an
opinion about sports, Like we're sound the Mountain that we
can only talk to Robert Smith and only talk about
private equity.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Like exactly, that's the important part. We grew to that.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
But what we started at it was like, Yeah, everybody
in this world we recognized because that's part of the culture.
This is not just like hey, we just came up
in this world of finance and this is all we've
ever studied in our entire lives. Like nah, I always
say like we're the fifth with a sixth element of it,
but this is hip hop.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Like we might this is the house on Wednesday, might
be a diamond on Thursday. That's really our life. Like
we move in between those two worlds and like we
do your show, we do CNBC. Like you know, I
think that people like you said, they try to put
you in a box, and I think that that's dangerous
because nobody should be held to just what somebody else
thinks of them, right, Like everybody should be able to
(44:23):
do whatever they want to do.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
And I'm not knocking nobody else.
Speaker 7 (44:25):
I just feel like black people we're the people who
have the diversity to do that. You can be in
all those different spaces. A lot of times when you
a white person, you got your world.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Your world is just certain.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
You don't have you're not.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
Forced to learn about a little bit of everything that
helps you to navigate all of these different spaces.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
We do it, and we do it effortlessly.
Speaker 6 (44:46):
We have a certain level of duality that nobody else
can can to manifest, like we just have it and
it's just kind of a natural thing because we've had
to adapt to it, like we love a multitude of
things like that's just part of the nature of being
black in America.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Well, how can they get tickets for invest Fest?
Speaker 5 (45:03):
Investfest dot com you can get your tickets. It's still

Georgia World Congress Center. It's our fourth year doing it,

(45:23):
something that we definitely are looking forward to and thank
you guys for allowing us to come on the platform
and talk about it.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Appreciate it. We appreciate you'all. Appreciate y'all.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
It's the biggest your impact and we got this is
this is breaking news twenty five thousand dollars. We talked

Twenty five thousand will be given in the marketplace as well.
That's breaking news alert right now, twenty five thousand to
the Bevel team at Bevel. Yeah, they doing that. Wow,
that's gonna be incredible.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Well, it's Earn your Leisure. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,

Speaker 1 (45:54):
The Breakfast Club. Yeah,

the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. You got some
special guests in the building.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes, indeed, you got the brothers.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Troy and Rishard from Earn your leisure Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What's up man? How what's going on?
Speaker 5 (00:18):
Best? Good? Thank you for having us dope. It's our
first time in these studios.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's a nice thing I got.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Look at the artwork we've learned, our leisure man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That is true, that's true.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
About time we got some better.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We got some thrones in here to get out.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Hurt his back, hurt my back.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
The big ball.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
So invest Fest twenty twenty four back in the land.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
For people that don't know what invest Fest is, break
down what invests Fest is and why they should be there,
why they need to be fourth.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Annuel too, that's very important to.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Sayel for sure. So it's a we wanted to make
it where. You know, music festivals became very popular, right
from Rolling Loud to Coachella to Root's Picnic, and that
feel of a music festival, it's just a good vibe.
If you ever mental music festival and then business conferences.
Usually business conferences are more like Stush and more corporate,
(01:10):
so we wanted to combine a music festival with the
education and format of a business conference. So that's where
investments came from. So we got, you know, food trucks,
we got musical performances. We have a Vendom marketplace. But
we also have panels on crypto, on real estate, on stocks,
home buying, so all of the education is there, but
(01:30):
it's fun. It's a vibe. It's not stush. You don't
have to feel intimidated. It's for people that might have
just graduated from college, or for people that are CEOs
of companies right anywhere in between. So we want to
just create that vibe. And it's the fourth year and
then I feel like this year is going to be
the biggest year as far as our lineup, as far
as what we got give back and everything. So really
looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Break down the line of because I mean, y'all had
Tyler Perry before, So Tyler Perry, you said Bigger, So yes,
I love Tyler.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That that's business and entertainment, but y'all be having some
real big.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I think it's important to blend both, right, so people
can see aspiration from different aspects. So, yeah, Tyler Perry
is huge, but like if you see, over the past
couple of years, he's been mentoring a guy named Curtis Jackson,
and so fifty is our headliner this year, which is
incredible because we know him from music, right, we've watched
since two thousand and two when he took over. In
two thousd three, obviously when we get risk came out.
But now what he's done inside the world the business
is equally as impressive. But he hasn't had the opportunity
(02:25):
yet or given anybody the opportunity to talk about that
business acting. And I'm sure you know you watched your firsthand,
so that's important. We want to highlight him and his
success in business.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We got Steven A.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Smith what he's doing in media right now, sharing that
Sharp is going to be there for the IP night,
So what they've done inside the media is important. And
we got local entrepreneurs too, man, I mean, damon, John's
gonna be there, People's so you got all these heavy
hitters inside there, but I'm getting to the local entrepreneurs. Yeah,
so local entrepreneurs is important too, right, because Pigky Cole
is that next person up when we're.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Talking about a billion dollar evaluation.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
We've we're watching it happen in real time, and so
we want to have that comp that commerce and culture
mix where it's like, yeah, you could be a fortune
five hundred CEO, but you could be coming from high school.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like we got kids coming down there. We got a
hundred kids from New York City. That's fine.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Now we find fifty kids from our community so they
can see it, because once they see it, you can't
see it. I always tell people like in that's that's
it's cool, but you've got experience it in real life
in person, because it's just a different feel.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
One thing that I've been paying attention to. I see
that y'all got the Marathon gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, yeah, Black Sham.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well, Black Sam and JP JP they gonna be speaking
and then they bringing their whole team, but those two
will be on stage with us.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
And y'all got a partnership with Microsoft and and the
Marathon for a pitch competition.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yeah, and Lauren Lundon's gonna be there with somebody that
we it's crazy. We never got a chance to meeting it,
but he was one of the people that we definitely
wanted to interview because everything that we embody, that's what
he stood for as far as entrepreneurship and being independent
f the middle man, that's what that's like his whole slogan.
So we never got a chance to meet him unfortunately
passed away, but we really built wrong relationships with every
(04:00):
single person that was next to him or close to them.
So Black Sam Man, that's my guy. And you know,
Sam don't really talk too much at all, so you know,
like if you develop a relationship with Sam, it's a
real relationship. It's not like no industry shit. So we
wanted to on and Nip. We pitched to him the
idea of having a pitch competition kind of like Shark
Tank right where it's like we're gonna have one hundred
(04:22):
people and then the first round is the hundred people's
gonna audition like America's Got talent. Then from there for
people will be selected to the next round, and then
we're going to pick one person live on stage, and
the winner of that is gonna get a hundred thousand
dollars to their business. So it's a really dope opportunity
anybody can enter as long as you got to get
anybody can enter, and I think, you know, to be able.
(04:45):
We talk about access to capital a lot and fearless finally,
you know, for right, So they trying to take away
access to capitol. We already have no access to capital
really if you think about it. So anytime you can
really give people, you know, money towards their business, like
that's could be life changed. You never know what that
can turn into.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
So the money is one thing, but the information to
do with the money, So you'll give them that peaceful.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, for sure. So we're gonna be working with them
because you're right, we don't And that's part of the
vetting process too, to make sure that they kind of
already are on track to be successful, because you don't
want to give somebody money then they nothing is ever guaranteed,
but we want to make sure that we put them
in the best situation possible to win. So definitely mentorship.
We're going to give them all all of our resources
as far as like accountants, lawyers and stuff like that
(05:28):
so they can be successful. And yeah, so we had
that already done and then when Microsoft came in, they
wanted to be a part of it. So we was like, well,
this is something that we're doing if you guys want
to chip in on it. So it's a collaboration as
far as that one hundred thousand from Microsoft earn your
Lisia and the Neighborhood Nip Foundation, and we're doing that,
and Marathon is going to have a pop up shop
(05:49):
yes at Investments. That's their first pop up shop in
the landa in over ten years. And then Lauren London
we're doing a twenty five thousand dollars giveaway well Lauren
London to a woman led business in healthcare, so it's
it's a lot of give back. But you know, to
involve Nip's family I thought was just really really dope.
Iyda and like I said, they they've just been super solid,
(06:09):
like you know what I mean, Like Sam super solid.
So when we asked him, sat down with them and
they was like, yeah, let's do it, and he just
thought it was a great way to honor the legacy
of Nipsey Hussule. So that's something that we're definitely looking for.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
And the law and piece was so dope because obviously
we know the relationship with Marathon, but she was like no,
I have initiatives that I really like. So women's health
is like at the forefront of her everything that she
stands for, and.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
She's big on mental health and it's huge.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Huge on it.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
And so she was like, I would love to do it,
but here's the things I would love if we can
make it happen, And so shout out to our brothers
at Healthy MD. They were like, look, we have a
health and wellness business that we already run. We would
love to partner with them, and so the twenty five
thousand we'll be giving out to a women left business.
But also they're like, look, we're not only going to
do that, we're going to mentor you in this space
since we're experts in it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, they've hundreds of.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Millions of dollars that they've they've created and generated in business,
so like they're going to hold their hands through this
process make sure that the business gets off to the
right start with that twenty five thousand. So, like you said,
these things don't happen in our community, right and so
once we see this absence, we can fill the gap.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And that's what this is all about.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
There's so many people that you guys have in Atlanta.
Had any politicians have reached out to y'all because it
would be the perfect place for like Kamala Harris to
come speak.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Right, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad said that.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because she's so into entrepreneurship and small business.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Like you said, we we got to clipped this up,
We got.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
To clip this out.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
But yeah, we've been we've been speaking to her team
last year. So the idea was to get it there
last year, and just the time and the way everything
worked out and we weren't able to do it. And
so we've just been in contact with her and we've
been you know, hinting at it. We understand the importance
of the election, We understand the importance of Atlanta, Fulton County,
Georgia as a state overall what it means to the election,
(07:48):
and so we were able to you know, she invited
us over a few times. Shout out to the black
men that sat down with us at the dinner, and
then we sat down on her economic tour. You know,
that was something that was really important to her to
have black men talking about economics, and she wanted to
kick it off with us in Atlanta. Yeah, we did yeah,
we did in April, so that was dope. And so
you know, at the time, it was like, Okay, all
(08:08):
roads are pull into Atlanta, this is great. It's so
far out that we can't put it on the calendar
just because that's just the way politics works in a sense.
And she said to hit us back in the first
week of July, and we did, and then the third
weekuld Lie, everything kind of changed, right because she's a
little she's.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
A little busy, so she's a little busy. But you know,
stay tuned.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I think. But like you said, I mean, I feel like,
to me, it would be a no brainer for Heart
to come if she's available, because tens of thousands of
people and having a serious conversation about economics and addressing
issues like what's a black job and access to capitol
these are real serious conversations I think we need to have.
So yeah, we still we still.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, stay tuned. I saw she had the rally in Atlanta,
so that's what.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I'm saying, This is gonna be a different conversation.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
I was I've bember rocking with the VP for a minute,
and one of the things that I've always been attracted
to her about is you know, her stance on economics,
what she wants to do for small businesses. So when
y'all y'all kicked off the nationwide economic told with her,
y'all sat with her. What about her economic plan? Do
y'all like, I'm not trying to make get an endorsement
and nothing. I'm just like, I'm an issues person. Yeah,
(09:14):
so I support her for this issue.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Well one thing as far as like just the openness
to be willing to listen. Like we sat down with
her a few times, and I respect the fact that
she's not coming in saying I know everything, Like you
know what I'm saying. She's like, YO, tell me, like
what do I need? Like, first, the conversation is what
is the disconnect between black men and the administration? That's
(09:37):
before that's when she was a vice president. You know
a lot of black men unhappy with Biden. A lot
of black men are still even unhappy with her. So
she wanted to know what was causing that unhappiness, right,
And I thought that that was big of her to
like not talk to us, to listen to us. Same
thing with economics, you know, we spoke to them, and
we spoke to a bunch of the Democrats on Capitol Hill,
(09:57):
and they were like, well, what do y'all need? And
we told them, like, you know, access to capital is
important right where there's seventy three billion dollars out there
and we get less than one percent, Like, how we
going to really scale businesses if we don't have money
to start the business, right, Like, that's important. So we
was telling a few different things and she was willing
to listen, and I know that that's something that she
(10:18):
has championed as far as access to capital and something
that she said that she was definitely wanting to improve
the situation. We have to kind of see the details
of it, but she definitely spoke to us about access
to capital.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Bringing back the middle class, making sure everybody started.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Student loans was one of the big things that she
talked about. And obviously I'm a prosal ownership. I was
just going to get into that. So the home ownership
piece was huge. Right when we look at wealth inside
of our country, specifically for our community, we know that
only forty five percent of us own homes, but if
you look at anybody's wealth that's been created, it's comes
from home ownership. And so having incentives for new home buyers.
I was like, this is a piece that we need.
(10:53):
It's missing. So like answering those questions, the student loan questions,
it's like, all right, well, these are solutions, especially because
we suffer, right, Like we don't have the capital to
pay for the tuition, right so we go into that
and that debt cripples us for years and years and years.
So to know that's on the forefront of her mind,
to understand that she has a plan, Like she said,
she's listening, she's receptive to it. It was dope, man.
And she's invited us a couple of times. So it
(11:15):
tells us that she's aware of what's happening. She understands
that we have an audience that she needs to tap into,
and so.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
We're very aware of it. But it's dope that we
have the heir of somebody at that.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Let me, I want to get your opinion. You saw
what Trump was at the National Black Journalists.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, National Association with Black Journals.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
You think it would be a good idea if we
have Trump and investors or don't do that?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I mean, here's my thing, And I said this about
the National Association Associational Black journalists. Their journalists their job
is to be objective and biased. All they all they're
all they're there to do is bring the person in
front of the audience and ask the question, like, why
why do we as black people, because this is a
black thing, right, why do we as black people beat
each other up about this kind of stuff?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
About platforming? I speak.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
This guy can be on CNN, MSNBC, ABC doing the
same thing and nobody says, why y'all platforming them? As
soon as earn your leision does it? Our breakfast club
does it? You're platforming it.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Why.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't understand that logic. I really don't exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I take a step further, like, I mean, this is
a business festival, right, Love Trump, hate Trump, however you
feel about him. He came from Queens and he damned this.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
They say.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He built New York City when a time when everybody
was running away. So to get in his mind, to
see what his mind frame was, how he did it,
what was his mind process, how he got the money
and how he did all that.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't see why not. I don't see why that
would be a problem.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
You're talking about the future of the economy. So like
when we're talking about investing when we're doing market money,
it's it's important that if he's going to put tariffs
on China, they need to know like what does that mean? Right,
Like when he talks about tom what does that mean?
What does the foreign policy mean? Especially for American companies
when we're talking about investing, Like you would want to
hear those answers if this is going to be the
guy who's going to lead the nation of the next
four years. So I mean you got to look at
(12:55):
it from a half context on it, but half perspective
as well.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So what business What businesses growing the quickest now?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Because you know, coming from New York and.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Queens usually we only see basketball and rap right hip hop,
But there's so many businesses growing now. So what's the
number one business that more and more people are asking
you guys to talk more about because they're getting into
for sure.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Like this year we got five different panels. Shout to
Van Jones. He put together a whole curriculum because you
know he just got one hundred.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Mill platform and Van Jones, but nah together everybody WoT ai.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
So like that's the like this technology thing is really
changing the world. Then if you use it, you understand,
like it's damn near magic, right.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What's your thoughts on they Because you know kids, a
lot of kids and a lot of y'all came from education.
Kids ain't studying the same way when they get this,
type it in there to AI and say type me
a ten page paper and it comes right in and
then all they gotta do is just kind of just
take words in.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
If you're an educated then you have to be adaptive
to that, right, Like you got to be responsible with
the education.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
The way you used to teach is not going to
be the way of the future.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
And so that's why we talk about education reform because
it's important, right, like the textbook days is over man,
so like the quicker than we understand that, the better
we'll be able to adapt and use these things tobout benefit.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But I feel like black people a lot of times
we have a lot of fear of things that we
don't understand. So you see things like yo AI is
going to take the jobs, and even Trump plays towards
that like they're going to take black jobs, right, And
we interview Don People's and he was kind of he
has a relationship with Trump, so he was kind of
speaking kind of friendly about him, but he said something
(14:33):
that was key, and he was like he didn't think
he's racist. He thinks he has an outdated view of us,
meaning like he still looks at black people as this
nineteen seventy, nineteen eighty, like know what I'm saying, Like,
these are your jobs, like because they don't look at
us as like leaders in industry, right they don't look
at us as like we can exactly like on that level,
and we don't look at ourselves that way either a
(14:53):
lot of times. So I think we can't be scared
of this technology because it's gonna come one way or another.
It's like a tsunami. Either you prepare for or you're
just gonna get washed away. So they say it's gonna
take over two hundred million jobs over the next ten
years globally, and some people say that's a low estimate,
but it's also going to create jobs, and it's going
to create a lot of wealth. To you look at
a company like in video. Nobody even heard it in
(15:13):
video five years ago the average everyday person. Now they're
the third second most valuable company in the world, right, Like,
over the course of eighteen months. So that's because of technology.
That's because of AI. So I feel like we use
AI all the time and it's only going to get bigger.
So for the kids, to answer your question, it's similar
(15:35):
to when a calculator came out. Right, Like before you
used to have to actually physically do long division, but
then once you realize that the calculator allows you to
do it much quicker, you still have to be educated
enough to know how to work the calculator. Like even
chat GBT, you have to be educated enough to ask
the right questions top it to know what okay, now
this is a little offy, Like you just can't just
have no brain at all and let it think for
(15:55):
you because then it's not gonna work properly. So I
think that the only thing that we can do is
educate ourselves on AI because there is no way around it.
And like some of the stuff, like even we met
with what I am, he's going to be there, some
of the stuff that he told us.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Was different future years ahead of us.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
He's one of my favorite people to talk to you.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I mean, he talked for like two straight hours and
we were just like, don't we can't even share some
of the stuff he was saying I even know.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm like, how do you sleep knowing all this information?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
He's twenty years ahead of us.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
The interesting part about the Nvidio pieces that we spoke
to the exact stay right, and they're like, this is great,
Thank you guys for information. Because people are investing in
they are making money, but the employees have made a
lot of money too, right, So you got to think
about that. A lot of times when they give you
a salary they said, well, we'll put some in stock, right,
company shares?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
What is it exactly? Because every time I see it
looked like like a herpes commercial.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Herpes medication, Like what idiot from herpes? It looks like.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Just sounds like a herpees cha.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Your perspective is out.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
So Video is a semi conductor company, right, So we're
talking about chips that go inside pretty much all electronics.
So inside of your computer, inside of your phone, inside
of this microphone. They have the fastest GPUs, which your
graphic process in units is those are what makes AI
run efficiently, run faster. So they're at the leader that
they're at the forefront of it, but they're employ I
(17:25):
was going back to that their employees have made money
because of the stock is going up, and so now
you've had employees that are now multi millionaires and they're like,
all right, well we might just leave and do our
own things. So in videos like thank you guys for
the information. But what we really need is we need
people that look like us to now come and innovate. Right,
So they're like, Yo, how do we get to investor us?
(17:45):
How do we show up? Because we're looking for the talent,
we have to be the talent. If not, when we're
talking about prompting, who's creating that, who's doing the engineering right,
who's doing the language models, it's not going to be us.
So we have to be a part of that. So
that's why it's important to be educated, but also to
say this is something that you can do. Right, So
we see athletes, we see entertainers, but like, you could
work for the wealthiest company in the world. It's not
(18:08):
just Apple, it's not just microphones. Plenty of other companies
that you could have an impact on it.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's why you think our schools need to change the curriculum,
Like I think HBCUs need to change the curriculum a
lot of times because a lot of times they don't
offer the classes, and if they do, it's a very
intro class. And that's what I've been saying all the time.
We need to, like you said, we need to take
a perspective and look what's happening in the world. And
there's no disrespect to a lot of those classes and
courses that they have, but the world is changing, and
I feel like a lot of times our colleges aren't.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
The world has changed. It's over.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Y'all said something earlier that made me think about the chat,
GPT and stuff. You know, I've been playing with it
a lot. It's really not smarter than humans yet, Like
the information is still pretty basic. I'll be asking certain
questions perfect Like I have questions that I know the
answers to.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Are you using the free version?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No, I'm paying it. I'm paying. But it depends how
you use the show that I'm using. Make sure I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Man is outdated. Yeah, you're good at the point.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, well all right, you can use it like Google.
It's not like you're using it like Google, like like
you know how many square miles is the ocean? Right?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
No asking questions like like I'm I'm prompting it, like
you said.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
We well, how I use how I'll use it is
all right? So you guys put this show on YouTube, right,
and then in YouTube you have a description, right, so
somebody actually has to actually physically write the description. Right. Ear,
Your Lisia comes on talks about uh investments, talking about
like I used to actually have to do that for
your Leadia, and you know it takes time, right, So
what I do now is that I'll just take key
(19:42):
points that we spoke about, right, and then I'll just
say we had a conversation at the breakfast club, write
a three paragraph description, put hashtags at the end, and
then it just I'll just feed it to them and
then within three seconds it'll write the whole thing. Right.
That's way more efficient for me because that saves me
probably half an hour as opposed to me writing then
I got a spell check what I wrote stuff like that.
(20:03):
So in that regards, it thinks much quicker than the
human because I can't write something in three seconds.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I can't write, So it's able to interpret information on
one hundred thousand times faster than the human brain.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
But is it good, Like I'll give you like writing
a script, right, Like there's certain times I put in
prompts with different scripts and I read it and it's like, well.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
That's the first version of it, right, so then you
you after you go through it again, now you prompt
it again until you get to the final version that
you want. The fact that it can create it whereas
like you might have if a writer has writer's block,
it can create for you, right, if he has the
writers it's going to create for you. And so it
moves and it becomes more efficient as you use it,
So it starts to learn you.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It starts to learn your patterns.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
It was it was saying like, if you let it,
if you prompt it over three months, it has a
high school level education. Right after six months, it has
like a college level education. I think now I think
chat ebt is now at it passed the bar. So
it's learning, right, and only thing that's going to do.
That's all it does is learned. And all it does
is get better every single day.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Right.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
That's why people like it's gonna lose jobs because number one,
it's going to be more efficient. It never stops working.
It doesn't need health insurance, right, and it's going to
give you results that are going to help you with
creativity and the process. So you're going to eliminate people
from that process, but there are going to be jobs
that are created inside of it as well.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
You could do a fly it can do an investment
flyer meeting, and it does. But like you said that,
that takes jobs away from a lot of people because
now you don't have to go to a graphic designer.
You go in and be like, you know what, I
don't like this picture. Put this picture in redes it
right away, and it's it's you know, it's.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Dope in radio too. Like a lot of times, the
same as you'll know how this works is like yo,
create the ad. A lot of times I'll just say
all right, well create this ad.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Poom, it's done. It's efficient. Where sometimes I remember when
we was first getting these ads, I'm like, I.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Gotta think of the story. How we're going to write this.
I sent submitted to the company and they're like, oh,
can we do it over? Can you add this? You know,
say this. I'm like, all right now. I was like
twenty seconds, I'm done. It's more efficient.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What I'm intrigued about is the next level of social
media that's going to incorporate AI, Like how we got
the twitters and the instagrams now and we're we're on
these things.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
But what happens when you're actually in these things? You know?
Speaker 7 (22:15):
And like there's a company called me Kai that I
think is is gonna be at the forefront forefront of
that because.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They could literally take this, They could take this room.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
You can use your phone and turn this room, the
breakfast club studio into a digital into a digital space
that you're now in, so you're not just watching to earn.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Your legion interview. You're like right here, like and from
my purview, sitting right now.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
That's the sports thing I think.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
They're doing that. They're doing that with them the biggest thing.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Like if I could pay one hundred dollars and I'm
court side and I can watch Lebron or boxing, basketball boxing.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Like entertainment, that's gonna be still you know.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
What I'm saying, because how many people can actually afford
to sit court ringside when Tank is fighting. But if
I if I could pay a hundred dollars, I'll put
the glasses on and now I can actually feel like
I feel like I'm actually in the fight. I feel
like that's going to make sports way more enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
The reality here, right if y'all use the Vision Pro.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
So if you go to go in the Vision Pro
and entertainment else telling the guys like Alicia Keys has
this interactive studio session. I mean, it's ridiculous. You're in
the studio with it and as you're looking around, everybody's
looking like it's live. So imagine when you're sitting courtside,
Imagine when your ringside. Imagine when you can't afford to
go to see Beyonce but you can sit at the concert.
Imagine how much more revenue that is because she can
(23:29):
only sell a certain amount of season and arena, I
don't care if it's if it's Wembley, it's ninety thousand.
She could do a million of those, right, So, like
think about the revenue that now gets generated from that aspect.
So it's the thing. It's here, like we're talking about like,
it's no, it's already here and we got to realize
it and take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So who's the company that creates that.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Telling you go look at me Ka that company doing
it now, they're doing it with the NBA, they doing
it with Wall Street Journal, like they're already doing it
at the next level of what we're all doing. Imagine
when you can sit in on earn, you lead you
conversations like you just said, I don't have to be
at in Best Fest, but I can be at invest Fest.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Right, it's here, and the next piece is going to
be that everybody's gonna have their own individual AI. So like, yeah,
y'all remember the movie Her when yeah, yeah, when he
sat in there, I think it's Jaquing Phoenix. He's sitting
in the room and the AI is in his house
and he starts to have developed feelings for this AI
and the relationship, but when he leaves the house, he
can't really have the same So he comes home it's
(24:25):
almost like his wife in a sense, but it's AI.
But imagine what that's what you all the time, and
it's learning all your your prompts.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
He knows your schedule is.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Don't encourage that.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'm just telling you. That's what's that I'm not.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Telling you out here with So we was Indvos, right,
We thought the same way until we saw somebody who
created this company called Soul And it's a virtual relationship,
right because campaign so now as people are on social
media more right, they're not going outside, they're not meeting people.
(24:56):
Some people are introverts. They're creating AI to have companionship.
It's happening right now in.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The making picks and all that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I don't know about that. You got to prompt it.
I don't want you to try both. I don't need
I don't know if I need to try it. But
I'm just telling you what's happening.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Try both.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
If somebody told me all he ever got was AI,
I'm like, all right, come on, bro, like go outside,
please try.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
But that's what live would be like. You think about
it like this.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Instead of going live on Instagram and one of those things,
you go live right here and somebody could say, well
I got a question, and they can type.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
In the question.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
They could be in the movie.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Absolutely, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's dope.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
You know, we talked about this with sad uh offline
about the Black Online Different Disinformation.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Study that they did.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
They put us in there.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
We were together and you made me think about when
you broughtup the Trump question, how did you How did
you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I thought it was I spoke to them and shot
to her. You know, we kind of cleared up a
few things she said that I thought it was irresponsible
because once again only black people get criticized for having others.
It's like, if you don't think this way, you're working
for rush. It's like Wall Street journal can speak to
(26:07):
whoever they want, they can go wherever they want. Nobody cares.
Right once we start to go anywhere outside of what
they think we should be, which is an extremely liberal platform.
Right now, oh man, you're off the rail. So to
say like we are responsible for spreading misinformation, I just
don't even understand that, right because it's like for us,
(26:29):
we only really we've only had Democrats on I would
speak to a Republican, but they've never reached out to us.
But you know, I just feel like that was something
that shows that certain demographics of people don't really respect
black journalism. They say they do what, they don't really
respect black journalism, Like they look they don't look at
us the same way that they look at white counterparts.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I don't know black journalism respects black journalism. It's true,
that's fact. Wonder especially after what we just saw. It's
like when I saw people stepping down because Trump was
coming to the you know, and ABJ. I'm like, why
you're a journalist, like he come there and you press them.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
It's personal, right, Like people put that, they take it personal.
They forget like the entegrity of what you're supposed to
be doing. Like you said, our job is to ask questions.
Your job is to answer the questions, right. The people's
job is to say, all right, interpret those answers. Is
this a person that I think I want to vote for?
That's that's the job, right. So to see the criticism,
(27:25):
to see the backline, especially from our community, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
People are scared though.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
People are scared to say what their thoughts are because
this society is so quick to cancel somebody, which is
and you cancel somebody for an opinion, you know what
I mean? And we always say, you know, vote your interest.
But if you want to vote Trump because Trump is
doing something in your interest, you should be able to
do it without being canceled. Of course, we could have
a conversation, we could agree to disagree, but to the
point where people are trying to cancel and saying I'm
(27:50):
not working with you no more. I'm stepping down because
the craziest thing I liked.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
What Rachel Scott did. Rachel Scott was the young lady.
She pressed the one on stage that was holding his
feet to the fire. I like that you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
The general thing. I didn't understand it that they did
this on purposele Why was there only Why was there
three women?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
No men? I didn't understand that.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
I didn't understand that. I feel like there should have
been some some masculine energy to kind of I don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
That would have been perfectly probably. I mean, the campaign
is probably like there's certain people that are not gonna
do this with and that's probably what was the situation
where it was like, he's not gonna.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
But it's a gift in the curse too, because it's
like for your platform, for our platform. They look at
it like they have a personal relationship with us, right
because they've gotten to know us personally. So that's helpful
on a certain level, but it's also harmful because they
get disappointed or they have expectations or they where they
don't look at Fox or CNBC or they don't look
at that as personal. They know that's just news. They
(28:49):
just know that's just news, right, So there's no disappointment
if somebody if they do something that they don't agree with.
But all of Black I've noticed this, the Black outlet
are all like personal brands almost Like let me say,
it's like they don't look at it like a media company,
look at it like a one on one like you,
my homie and I don't agree with something. Now I'm
(29:11):
gonna talk crazy in your comments. You sold out because
one day we are puppet for the Democrats and the
next day we help manage it for like making you
up on the time.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
I mean, I literally have watched every interview that you've done,
and I'm like, do they think he's gonna say something different?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Like he's been saying the same thing.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
You're a political hot rod though I noticed like you personally,
like you cause a lot of friction and puption, like
you've become like a political person.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
But it's good though, Like everything I was saying about
Biden last year was absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I didn't think he could win in November.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah, I thought it was a fair question to ask
if the Biden has ticket is something that you can
win in November, and if the if the threat the
democracy is so great like we see it is, why
are you running somebody that can't win. And now you
see what happened. He stepped down. Now they got energy again.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Big energy.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
But you know, showed me how how quick public is.
They're so fickle. Because even when we met with Kamala
the first time, we couldn't. I didn't even post the
picture vice president Kamala, I didn't even president. I didn't
even post a picture on page because I just knew
it was gonna be so divisive, and because a lot
of people didn't like her. Remember, people were saying, like,
where has she been? I haven't heard from her? Like
(30:26):
it was just all native. Then now everybody loves her. Yeah,
it's just going to show you man like get her
is so fickle. And then like media can, media is
real powerful. Like the media really started to champion her
and they picked up momentum, and then in two weeks,
her whole thing just shifted one eighty from people saying,
(30:49):
you know, where has she been, she's been, she's hidden,
she hasn't said anything to now like people like she's
gonna be the next president. I'm just like I always
we had a good relationship with her, so I knew
that she was, you know, always capable. But it's just
interesting to see how quickly public perception.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm excited about that.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
I'm excited about the fact the last two weeks and
even when she started doing the economic form, I feel
like I'm starting to see the Vice President Kamala Harris
we see off camera on camp.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
And I think that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Like we've been in the room, and so when people
are talking like now we know it, Like she's a
really good person, like when you talk to it. So
to see this happened now is like, oh, it's due time.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
The interesting part is like she can, can she do it?
And who is she going to do it with? So
like the next thing is like who's going to be
at her VP camp?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Governor Shapiro, You.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Do like Pennsylvania. Yes, That's why I predicted, just for
the momentum.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
And the youth and the importance of that swing state.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
We've had him up here. He's a good dude. I
like some of this.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
I liked a lot of the stuff he was doing
in Pennsylvania before he was even in the VP conversation.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That's why we had him up here.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
Yeah, the prison reform, the probation reform, he did with me.
What is it called the Clean Slate Act? I think
it's called like he's doing a lot of those stuff
from PA.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
That's your prediction, I hope.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
I had the same one, and you know, you said
something else to or shot that made me think about it.
I think what got people excited about the VP is
the fact that they know she probably can win because
I think people are starting to be aware of Trump more,
meaning like they're paying attention to what's happening with the
Supreme Court. They've read Project twenty twenty five, Like it's
not just the rhetoric they're getting from the cable news channel,
(32:25):
They've actually done.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Some due diligence and seen it.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
They've seen the presidential immunity for a president president away
with crimes, Supreme.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Court judges and elected phutials could take bribes.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Now, Like, if that don't wake you up to what's
going on and how much of you know democracy?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Is that threat? You gotta you bugging?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:41):
I sent some of the child's Well, I've seen wakaaka
post yesterday and it was like all the things that
he wanted to support was everything that that the Trump
was against, and so he was it was like the
education process. It was like I saw people in the
comments like trying to educate him on the process. He
was like, yeah, I can vote what I want want
to vote for, which is all good, but understand, like
the education of like your reasoning and deductive reasoning.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Does it does it align with what you're doing?
Speaker 6 (33:06):
So I think that education process is the port where
you're getting it from is important too. So I'll be
telling people like, look, you know, don't just watch MSNBC.
Don't just watch fives right, like, actually do some research,
get like a cumulative assessment of the candidates that you're
trying to choose the issues and then make it educated decision.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
It's important for our platforms to remain neutral. And that's
why I try to tell people too. It's like we
met with the Democrats and went to the Capitol Hill
and all that, but we're not representatives of the Democratic Party, right,
so we have to remain neutral because if not, then
we lose credibility and it doesn't even mean anything as
(33:43):
far as the journalism and now they can just kind
of use us for whatever they want to do. So
we always remain neutral and try to just stay in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
And some hold them accountable, always support them.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
You got you gotta hold people accountable, and you got
to have converse with every single person, right, because it's
like once you start to alienate the whole entire side,
now you essentially just kind of cut off half of
the situation, right, and that's not really beneficial. So I
feel like that the Republicans have done themselves or tremendious
disservice because they don't really try. Like for us, they
(34:18):
we've never got no Republican has ever really reached out
to us ever.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Now we started getting that this year. Yeah, this year
we got a lot of them. We had Ni up here,
we had a Vi Grammar Swami up here.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
But your platform is y'all very very mainstream, right. We
are still like more on underground, right, but you should
be aware enough to know that we have a following.
So it's like, you guys, if they don't reach out
to you guys, then they just are completely incompetent. But
it's like for us, it's like if you're not if
we're not on your radar, then that lets me know
(34:51):
that you're not really trying. You're not even looking to
have to see what's under the surface what's bubbling with
you know, culture is really gravitating towards So I feel
like they're doing themselves at their service because if they did,
we would we would answer it because their conversations are important.
But if not, then we're not. We're not going to
go out of our way to try to cater to
them as well.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
And we got hold them accountable.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And from a businessing point too, when we had conversations
about media black media specifically in platforms, and about the
ad money that goes into campaigns, well, how much does
it go to us?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Right?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Like, if you're going to put ads on the show,
you're going to put at like we're talking about I
know that they just released that there was a one
point five million dollars initiative to give to black media,
but I'm like, you're talking about it almost one hundred
and fifty million dollars budget.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Right.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
You need that vote, right, You cannot win a reflection
without this vote. So to put that percentage a little
bit of allocation to a platform or an audience that
you need, it's almost a disservice.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
So we gotta hold the accountable flat too.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Well, what's been the success stories from investments over the
last four year.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Oh man, so many man. I feel like, well, first
I'll speak to our success story because that's something that
we can relate. So we last year, it was a
gentleman that came from Ghana to invest Fest and he
had just heard about it, and long story short, he
came there. He came to invest Fest and he was
very impressed by invest Fest, so he wanted to connect
(36:12):
with us. So Chaco Bar has actually connected us. We
went to Ghana, they hosted us. Turns out, so you
heard the Afro Future. He's one of the people that
that those Afro Future Polo Beach Club. If you ever
been to Ghana, they own Post, they owned Polo Beach Club,
they own they own a bunch of real estate everything.
So they connected with us. They're like, yo, we got
three hundred acres of land and we want to build
(36:34):
on it. And they're like, well, what's the play and
they're like, well, I want to. It's crazy because we
already had this idea of bringing people from the diaspora over,
but not just to party and leave right like actually
more sustainable, like by real estate, building community. So we're
actually working on building the community with the brothers from Ghana.
That's all because of investmentest right, But this vendors, we
(36:57):
interviewed a venda that made three hundred thousand dollar and
been the marketplace selling services. We interviewed another vendor who
is a husband and wife combination and they met to
Bet who was Steve Harvey's partner, and then from there
they developed a relationship and they took their business from
making like ten thousand dollars to now they've made over
(37:19):
three million dollars just in the vendor marketplace. And the
people that have want to invest, fest and learn, and
they actually purchased a home from the information that they
that they received. So the networking is just unbelievable. And
then the information, when you add the networking with the
information is definitely an opportunity to change your life.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Yeah, we were with our brother Ray Daniel's and it
was like, look when I walked into that marketplace. I've
never been to Black Wall Street, but I would imagine this.
This is what it looked like when you have just
all these over four hundred businesses, people networking, people created ideas,
excuse me, and actually finding networking pieces. Right, it might
be your investor or it might be your next business partner,
(37:57):
or you might look and say, man, I want my business,
excuse me to scale like that. And so now people
are getting ideas how to grow their business. And then obviously,
you know, we come through the marketplace, but we're not
just walking by ourselves. We're bringing We're bringing Tyler Perry too, right,
We're bringing Ropert Smith through. So like just to have
the opportunity to see that in real person and like
have a moment with that, it's incredible because they're looking
(38:18):
at it as.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
A way to invest as well.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
I know Steve Harvey walks through and he's like, all right,
I want every piece of art that this person has.
Like there's opportunities in there that just don't exist. So
imagine you just started your business. So you're in, you're
one or two of your business, and you might see
ten thousand customers throughout the year. You're talking about fifty
thousand people in three days. It just doesn't happen. It's
a very unique opportunity.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Did he ever give you all a million? Or he
just did the big check thing?
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Good question, You want to know the whole story behind that.
Of course, so did he? So he all right, So
this is before invest Fest last year. Obviously, before everything happened,
we was working with Revolt and they're like, yo, did
he want to give you guys a million dollars to invest?
At first? It was supposed to be a million dollar
for us to invest for him, right, And we're like, nah,
let's let's do something a little bit more creative, right,
(39:05):
Like let's get the get the million dollars, but let's
like showed it in like real time, be transparent, and
then like break it up. So we'll put like one
hundred thousand the stock market. Then we'll go to like
Louisiana and we'll buy a multi family home. Then we'll
give it to like an entrepreneur in Texas to start
a gas station. So we was gonna actually like show
what we were doing with the million, Like the millions
(39:25):
has grown to two million has grown to and he
didn't even want any money. He was going to any
of the profits. We was gonna split the profit and
he was gonna give his his part to charity and
then he's gonna give us the other half. So we
had been talking about this for months. So when we
was gonna make the announcement, we're like Yo, we should
make the announcement that invest Fest, like you're gonna come
like it, it would make sense to do it on invest Fest.
(39:46):
So they liked the idea. So yeah, they gave us
the check on stage, so if anybody has because it's
important to educate the audience, right Like, so when they
do like those big Kinkos checks, contrary to popular belief
on the internet, you can't take that check into Bank
of America and cash that check. I see you got
(40:11):
the money. Bro gave me the check. I'm like, that's
not signed, so all right, so that's like for show right.
Then after that then lawyers have to kind of work
out the final agreement or whatever, and then they wired
the money to you, right so that could take a
couple of weeks, but it took a couple of months.
We never got it. And I will say this, I
think that he had the intentions of giving it to us,
(40:33):
because he actually called after He's like, did I get
the money yet? But no, I ain't get it yet.
But his team and I can't even knock them. They
were doing their due diligence. They wanted to make sure
it was right that the you know, the legal agreement
and everything. So it was just taking a long time, right,
It took like from investments in August to like October.
It's still now. It wasn't ten months.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
It was like, so we started the conversations.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Yeah, we got the check, the big check, so and
I told we still do and get it right. And
then in November everything.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Happens and then and you knew it was over.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
It was over. We didn't even bother so we never
got the physical money. But also that's important to kind
of clay up too. It wasn't a donation to us.
It was he wasn't investing in earning your leisure. We
were going to invest the money for him and the
proceeds was going to go to charity. Right, So that's
another you know, people kind of create their own natives,
like yo, did he gave y'all a million dollars, so
(41:25):
y'all can't talk about him. He never gave us a
million dollars. And even if we did get the million,
it was never we would never. It was never going
to our bank account. It was never going to earn
your leisia. It was going to be invested, right. But
but yeah, that that never actually ended up happening.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
But that's not even something y'all would talk about. I mean,
I see you know, y'all do the blackout.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Now you and you and y'all talk about more socially
culturally stuff.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Financial, Why did y'all start doing that?
Speaker 5 (41:51):
Just dude, Yeah, because you know, it's like we want
to just have some diversity, so earn your leisure. We
interviewed entrepreneurs market Monday. We talk about stocks, but we
we have like other views, right, and I just we
just wanted to kind of be a little bit more
like you know, free range to talk about whatever. We
wanted to talk about what there's conspiracy theories, relationships, whatever.
So that show, it's a nighttime show, comes when at
(42:13):
ten o'clock, kind of like wanted to do like a
you know how they have like late night shows. So
that was like that was like our spin on like
a late night show. We bring different guests on, like
poor minds. They wouldn't really necessarily fit in the ecosystem
of early leisure, but that allows that's a place for
them to fit, like so stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (42:30):
So it's a it's a blueprint that that you you
have right here, right like you have Breatherst Club, but
you got brilliant. It's a different format and it's different
views that you can express. So it's like the box.
We always talk about box. Never let anybody put you
in the.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Box, but they want they want to keep with.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
So like even now when people watch it, they're like, yo,
what y'all turned into this?
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Like why are y'all not talking about investments? I'm like, yo,
you know, that's just.
Speaker 5 (42:50):
One part of our life investments every day.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Day, dude?
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Do people get mad at y'all? Like, like if y'all
give your opinion on the Kendrick and Drake like you know,
I mean, like you'll stay stick to stocks. I mean,
like y'all can't have an opinion, you know, I mean.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
What does this have to do with economic empowerment? Six years?
Every day? Like we our life is more than just
reading stock charts, Like we actually like a variety of
different things, and we've been doing this way before we
got into business. So it's like, I think it's important
to have diversity and that makes it more relatable right
(43:24):
where it's like just regular people. It's not like we're
not and we never put ourselves out there. Is like
the Holy Saints where it's like we can never have
an opinion about a relationship, we can never have an
opinion about sports, Like we're sound the Mountain that we
can only talk to Robert Smith and only talk about
private equity.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Like exactly, that's the important part. We grew to that.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
But what we started at it was like, Yeah, everybody
in this world we recognized because that's part of the culture.
This is not just like hey, we just came up
in this world of finance and this is all we've
ever studied in our entire lives. Like nah, I always
say like we're the fifth with a sixth element of it,
but this is hip hop.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Like we might this is the house on Wednesday, might
be a diamond on Thursday. That's really our life. Like
we move in between those two worlds and like we
do your show, we do CNBC. Like you know, I
think that people like you said, they try to put
you in a box, and I think that that's dangerous
because nobody should be held to just what somebody else
thinks of them, right, Like everybody should be able to
(44:23):
do whatever they want to do.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
And I'm not knocking nobody else.
Speaker 7 (44:25):
I just feel like black people we're the people who
have the diversity to do that. You can be in
all those different spaces. A lot of times when you
a white person, you got your world.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Your world is just certain.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
You don't have you're not.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
Forced to learn about a little bit of everything that
helps you to navigate all of these different spaces.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
We do it, and we do it effortlessly.
Speaker 6 (44:46):
We have a certain level of duality that nobody else
can can to manifest, like we just have it and
it's just kind of a natural thing because we've had
to adapt to it, like we love a multitude of
things like that's just part of the nature of being
black in America.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Well, how can they get tickets for invest Fest?
Speaker 5 (45:03):
Investfest dot com you can get your tickets. It's still
a couple of days left to interested a nipsey hustle
