What's up, fam? Welcome to another
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.430
episode of Breaking Impossibilities,
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:17.109
where we turn pain into power. We use
00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:18.870
real life stories to help people grow
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:21.189
and break those impossibilities. Right
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.710
now, I'm sitting down with a special
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:25.590
guest, my guy Jay Scribe. He's going to
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:26.870
tell you a little bit about what he does
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:28.070
because I don't want to spoil it for
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.310
you, but man, he is the man behind the
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.790
scenes. A videographer, a editor. I
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.910
mean, he does it all.
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:36.870
>> What's up with it, Pop?
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.229
>> Appreciate you for having me.
00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:41.590
>> Yeah, I'm a I'm David Shans's official
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.590
content producer. So, I pretty much just
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.590
follow him around, create videos, create
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.709
photos. Um, which I mean, that in and of
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.670
itself is a very minor part of what I
00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:53.510
do. Like, the biggest thing is ideas.
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.510
like I'm the guy that's tapped in. I
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.029
know I know what the trends are. I know
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.549
what people are doing. So, it's
00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:00.229
connecting Dave with the new waves,
00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:02.709
connecting with new ideas. Um, and just
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.469
making sure that his brand can expand
00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:06.230
past what he's already built because
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.910
he's built something substantial, but
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.190
now, how do we take that to the next
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.990
level? Capitalizing on what's popular
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.630
right now without sacrificing his brand,
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.230
right? Staying true to the brand, but
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:17.350
still branching out.
00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:18.950
>> Absolutely, man. Fantastic. Hey, we
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:20.469
recording on that phone, too, right Big
00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:22.710
Dog? Okay. Yeah, absolutely. I wanted to
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:24.789
catch all of that. But um just making
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.149
sure cuz we out here thugging
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:26.550
>> for sure.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.070
>> Yeah, we on the block. It's what I call
00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:30.149
the block, man. We out here, you know.
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.550
It's like knock on me. Knock on me. You
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.429
know who want it. But no, hey, but no,
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.590
uh I appreciate that, man. But kind of
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.950
tell us a little bit about how you got
00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:41.510
into this space, man. And and who put
00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:43.510
the camera in your hand, bro?
00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:46.310
>> Yeah. So, I was a audio engineer. My
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:47.910
mother and her whole family, they all
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.630
musical. So my mom and all her siblings
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.310
went to performing arts schools in
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.149
Oklahoma City. So everybody was big on
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.149
the music. For me, nobody really taught
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.190
me the traditional way of music. I went
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.709
on the internet and learned how to
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.310
record music, learned how to record
00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:04.389
myself. Um, so I was rapping for a
00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:06.310
while. After a while, I had a song that
00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:08.389
kind of went viral in my city. Um, I was
00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:10.630
on local news, you know, I was popping
00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:12.070
up everywhere. I was doing guerilla
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.390
marketing to got to get that joint out.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.949
And um I posted on my story, yo,
00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:18.790
everybody go stream the song so I can
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.110
afford to get the video done by Idea. So
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.949
my boy Idea volunteered to do the vid
00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:25.030
for free. We started really cooking. He
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:26.949
was doing a lot of my music videos. He
00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:29.350
started inviting me to pull up on other
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.190
music video shoots just kind of be an
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:34.309
extra hand. And um that's kind of how I
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:35.910
started, right? Like just helping him
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:37.830
out here and there. I was trying to
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.589
understand marketing, so I had to know a
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.030
little bit of editing, right? Doing
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:42.550
stuff on my phone, trying to promote the
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.470
songs. But once he really put that cam
00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:45.910
in my hand, that's when everything
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:47.990
started to really pick up for sure.
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.350
>> And who put the camera in your hand?
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.390
>> My boy Idea.
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.350
>> Idea. Okay. Shout out to Idea, man, for
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.750
for putting my man on cuz you absolutely
00:02:55.760 --> 00:02:56.949
are killing it right now.
00:02:56.959 --> 00:02:57.430
>> Appreciate that.
00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:58.949
>> Uh you're doing a really good job, man.
00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:00.550
I know your feet hurt a lot, man. Cuz
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.229
you be running around here.
00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:03.430
>> That's why you got some comfortable
00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:03.830
shoes.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.710
>> Yeah. Got you.
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:06.229
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But
00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:08.790
no, off top, man. Uh so you mentioned
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.869
something. Um, and I want to get back to
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:12.710
the song that went went viral in your
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:14.229
town. But man, you talked about gorilla
00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:15.750
marketing. So for the people that don't
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:17.430
understand that all my impossible
00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:19.430
impossible people, I want you to know
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.270
like what is gorilla marketing.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.470
>> All right. So this is how I was doing
00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:23.589
it, right? I had a song called
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.910
Minuteade. And the first thing I did
00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:28.149
was, well, actually before I did that, I
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.190
got a hoodie that had JScribe on it. And
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.270
then I put my snap code on, my Snapchat
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:34.949
code on the hoodie. On the back of the
00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:37.509
hoodie, I saidJcribe on the front. So
00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:38.869
people when they saw me walking through
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.550
the mall, they was just curious if it
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.149
worked. Yo, does that work? When I'm
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.190
walking through school, yo, does that
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:44.789
work? They scan the back of my hoodie.
00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:46.949
They add me just off of curiosity. Cuz
00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:48.390
the thing is, everywhere you go, you a
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.990
walking billboard. So it's like, if you
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.910
got your own brand, why are you repping
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:54.710
somebody else's stuff like cool Nike,
00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:56.630
Burberry, whatever brand, you could rock
00:03:56.640 --> 00:03:58.309
that. But if you got your own stuff,
00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.910
wear that everywhere you go. So now you
00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:01.670
a walking billboard. You feel me? So
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.750
when somebody says, "Oh, I like that
00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:06.149
shirt." They instantly in your funnel
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.309
now. Like it's not just, oh, appreciate
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:09.509
that. I got this from the mall. It's
00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:11.110
like, oh, you like this hoodie? I made
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.350
this. I had a joint called uh I had a
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.429
brand called Auntie Slayer University.
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.349
And that was off the whole like, you
00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:18.870
know, the whole storyline of the Cougars
00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:20.390
and all that stuff. I had a hoodie that
00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:22.069
said, "Tell your auntie." I said, "Hey,
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.909
everywhere I went, everybody would
00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:25.430
compliment that hoodie." And I was like,
00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:27.590
"Yo, I made this." Automatically, when
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.030
they say, "Yo, where'd you get that
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.950
hoodie from?" They in your funnel. Oh,
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:32.550
boom. Follow me. It give you a reason to
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.950
plug yourself. You feel me? like you got
00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:36.790
to you got to move around knowing that
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.510
like everywhere I go I'm represented. So
00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:40.150
>> I'm dead.
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.270
>> That was the first thing, right? The
00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:43.110
hoodie. The song was called Minute Made.
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.469
I walked around with a carton of Minute
00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:46.550
Made at school every day. Empty carton
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.830
just walking around. Everybody, why you
00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:49.189
had that joint? Oh, I actually got this
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.710
song called Minute Made. Check it out.
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.070
They wanted to check it out to make fun
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:53.590
of you. Like everybody thinks when you
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.270
hear somebody rapping, they think you're
00:04:55.280 --> 00:04:57.350
going to be trash. So automatically they
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.790
go check it out. It's like, "Oh, this
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.710
this kind of fire." The third thing I
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.310
did was I told teachers I had a
00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:04.310
marketing project. I took a piece of
00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:05.990
paper and I said, "Yo, I need just need
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.430
to get everybody's Snapchat on this
00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:09.029
piece of paper." I'll have everybody
00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:10.710
write down their Snapchat. Teachers were
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.070
letting me because I told them it was a
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:13.830
marketing project. I'll tell the class,
00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:15.430
the teacher of the class I'm in, "Yo,
00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:17.270
I'm going to the bathroom real quick." I
00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:19.189
leave with that paper. Go get a bunch of
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.270
names on that joint. Put in my pocket.
00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:22.870
End of the day, I'm adding everybody by
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:24.629
hand, right? So, I'm adding them. It's
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:25.670
starting to pick up a little bit of
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.749
steam. Then, uh, one of the Avengers
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:29.749
movies came out. I had a bootleg link. I
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.430
said, "Yo, if you want the bootleg link,
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:33.749
post my song on the story and tag me.
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.430
I'mma send you the bootleg link." So,
00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:37.670
boom, it started going up. So, at first
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.110
people was knowing me like I'm moving
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.550
around the city. People knowing me like,
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.150
"Yo, you the dude with the bootlegs."
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.310
Like, "You got the bootleg links." And
00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:45.749
then it was like, "Oh, you the dude that
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.110
was rapping. You got that song Minute
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.430
Made." So, then it starts picking up. It
00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:51.830
gets like 15,000 streams at first. The
00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:53.189
news hear about it because it's kind of
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.749
starting to pick up. I get on the news,
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.830
music videos. So, I was like really just
00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:00.310
like any way that I could go out and get
00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:01.909
people's attention, I'mma get people's
00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:03.670
attention. Like I used to do little
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.430
stuff like we go to if somebody invited
00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:07.350
me to a party, we'd be at the mansion
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.110
party, I pull up with a plate of ribs. I
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.790
got to go plate ribs, mac and cheese,
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.390
all that. So people just coming up, bro,
00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:14.309
you got ribs in the party like just cuz
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.309
it stands out. Like finding the little
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.629
ways to stand out. It's It's always
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.230
going to be little things and everywhere
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.469
you go, it's going to stand out. Here's
00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:24.230
the kicker though. I thought that
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.909
everything that I did to stand out would
00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:28.150
only be applicable in my small town.
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.510
Then I started I remember the first time
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:31.830
I went to Atlanta. I was making jokes
00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:33.270
with the homies because we all came here
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:35.270
for a festival. I was like, "Yo, this my
00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:36.950
city now. I run this city." Like if
00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:38.070
someone wouldn't come to Atlanta, you
00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:40.390
got to check in with me. So I'm joking
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:43.029
all day. First time we go out, we pop
00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:45.189
outside. Immediately somebody came up to
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.270
me, "Yo, bro, you fit crazy. Like you
00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:49.110
got the Balenciagers on. Like, yo, this
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.629
is crazy." And so my friends looking
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.550
like, "Yo, like how is he getting his
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.990
attention?" cuz everywhere I go it's
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.830
just like you got to have little pieces
00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:57.590
about you that's a statement like
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:58.950
walking around with a chain. It ain't
00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:00.390
really all that but at the same time
00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:02.950
it's like some of the surface level
00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:04.950
stuff will lead to something bigger. You
00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:06.790
got to hook them somehow. You got to get
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.309
them tuned in somehow. So you give them
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.070
a little something to question. You give
00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:11.270
them a little something to be a little
00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:12.870
interested in. And as soon as they show
00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:14.950
the slightest interest, even if they
00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:16.390
don't come up to you and ask you about
00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:18.790
it, you might see somebody looking and
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.150
then you find something to say to them.
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.230
Okay, cool. Do I like their shoes? Okay,
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.309
it's a girl. I like her nails. Find a
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.510
little compliment. Y'all, I like the
00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:27.749
nails. Because we usually if somebody a
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.589
nice person, you compliment them. They
00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:31.029
gonna immediately look for something to
00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:32.629
compliment back, right? So, you might
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.309
say, "Oh, I like your nails. Oh, I like
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.710
your t-shirt. Oh, appreciate it. I made
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.990
a matter of fact, yeah, I'm doing
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.589
podcast summit right now. Yo, I'm a
00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:41.749
videographer. I'm an editor." D. You got
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.830
to find ways to plug yourself in because
00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:46.390
it's like, bro, nobody gonna believe in
00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:48.150
you if you don't believe in you. The
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.670
easiest way to show people that you
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.270
believe in you is working and moving
00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:53.110
like you believe in you. Like everywhere
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.950
that you go, understanding that when I'm
00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:57.189
sharing my podcast to you, I'm not
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.189
trying to plug myself. I'm giving you an
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.110
opportunity to get some value. I got
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.629
something to say. The people that on
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.309
this podcast, they got something to say.
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.589
You got to know about this because this
00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:07.110
might change your life. And so when you
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.270
got that mindset, everywhere you go, you
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:10.790
moving a little bit different. Like the
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.309
promo starts to move a little bit
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.430
different. You start to get a little
00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:15.670
less shy about telling people like, "Oh,
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.510
I do this. I do that." Because you know,
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:19.670
I'm not just trying to plug myself. I'm
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.150
giving you value because everybody is
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.990
selfish. That's the biggest the biggest
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.589
thing I think anybody who's trying to do
00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:27.510
anything should understand is people are
00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:29.510
selfish. Not in a negative way, but they
00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:31.350
got their own life going on. So if I got
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.790
my own life going on, why do I want to
00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:35.029
listen to your podcast? Why people going
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.149
they got kids, they got jobs. Why am I
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.389
going to take the time to search you up
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.230
and hit play? Because you got some value
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.070
for me. Whether that's entertainment,
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.630
get me away from uh thinking about my my
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:48.470
argument I got with my wife yesterday.
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.230
Whether it's keeping me away from the
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.310
issue I got at work, whatever it is, if
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.230
it's value, you teach me something. I'm
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.190
learning something. I'm staying
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.870
inspired. I'm staying focused. I'm
00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:58.550
staying tuned in. Understanding that
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:00.230
whatever you bring to the table got to
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.230
bring value because when it's value, you
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.750
don't got to hold a gun to nobody head
00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:05.509
to consume it. Think about everybody
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.910
we've ever listened to music wise,
00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:10.150
podcast wise, movies that we bought
00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:12.230
tickets for. Nobody had to force us to
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.070
do them things. We just knew it was
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.670
value. You see the trailer of a movie,
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:17.910
bro, I gotta see that. You see a clip of
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:19.670
a podcast, yo, I gotta tune in to the
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:21.509
longer version. So, being able to put
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.030
that out there so that you understand,
00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:25.350
bro, this is value. This is going to be
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.790
the best. You and your wife just got an
00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:29.509
argument, turn on my pod. You and your
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.750
kids not really seeing eye to eye, turn
00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:33.110
on my pod. You going through something
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.630
that work, you trying to figure out how
00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:35.590
to make some more money, you trying to
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.870
figure out how to grow your business,
00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:38.389
turn on my pod. But when people feel
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.150
that type of value, like that's how I
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:42.070
started listening to David Shan's cuz I
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.750
was trying to understand business. I was
00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:45.350
trying to understand marketing. So I
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.269
went and turned his on. I was in the top
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.509
2% of his listeners. This was back in
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.750
2023. I had listened to to hours of his
00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:55.910
content every single week. Why? Because
00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:57.350
it was a value. It was something I was
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.110
looking for. I felt like he had the
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.070
answer. And so a lot of people try to go
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.870
into situations and they have a pitch.
00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:07.509
They have a this idea of okay this is
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.910
what my podcast is. Sometimes you got to
00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:12.389
also listen to people and hear what do
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.389
they care about because you might if you
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.230
selling a product it might be like okay
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.110
cool I got this iPhone the camera good
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.630
the camera good on the iPhone it got
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:22.310
three cameras on the back of it oh we
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:23.750
got the front camera you might be
00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:25.590
thinking my whole thing is I'mma tell
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.110
them about these cameras and that's why
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.790
they gonna care but they gonna care
00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:30.389
because of iMessage they don't care
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:31.829
because of that blue bubble they don't
00:10:31.839 --> 00:10:33.430
care because they can FaceTime so
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.870
sometimes you got to listen to what they
00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:36.790
care about and then realize okay boom
00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:38.389
that's how I hook them they might care
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.910
about the cameras, but they don't know
00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:41.750
that they going to care. Show them what
00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:43.750
they know they care about first, hook
00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.350
them in, and then give them everything
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.550
else after that. They don't know what
00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:48.389
they want, but you they're not going to
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:49.910
go check out something if they don't
00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:51.670
know that they want it. But the stuff
00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:53.350
that you know that they want, the
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.750
easiest way to do this, right? Go on any
00:10:55.760 --> 00:10:58.150
popular page, right? Shade Room, World
00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:00.310
Star, whatever. Look at the viral post
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.310
and see how can I repurpose this to what
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.389
I'm doing. Even if it's just a little
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:05.829
second, because when you in a podcast
00:11:05.839 --> 00:11:08.550
world, all you need is a clip. So if you
00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:11.590
do an hour and a half long podcast and
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.990
there is three, four minutes of that
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.910
podcast where you brought up three, four
00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:17.430
different trendy things that you could
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.910
turn into clips but still put it into
00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:22.150
what you do. Now when they see that on
00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:23.750
social media, yo, I got to tune in to
00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:25.829
this dude. Like these clips are funny,
00:11:25.839 --> 00:11:27.910
bro. Like this is exactly what I'm
00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:29.670
subconsciously this exactly what I go to
00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:31.509
social media for. Then it's like, okay,
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.430
I got to tune into the pod. And then
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.190
everything else that you got to value,
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:36.870
that you got to offer that they don't
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:39.110
understand, they now get to see that
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.030
because they were hooked in by the thing
00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:43.030
that they already know they care about.
00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:47.030
>> Yeah. No, for sure. I mean, that boy
00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:48.230
just started cooking.
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.670
>> Yeah. I'll be riffing, bro. I'll be
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:50.389
ripping.
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.990
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love that,
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.790
man. Cuz your drive and your
00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:58.150
intentionality is is different.
00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:59.670
when I first had the first conversation
00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:02.150
with you or just, you know, I study
00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:04.949
people, bro. I'm watching. I was just
00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:06.310
talking to somebody else and I was just
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.870
letting them know like the whole time
00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:11.190
last night at the dinner, I don't got no
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.750
questions to ask. I'm watching. I'm
00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:15.990
listening. I'm listening to everything.
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.990
I'm watching how you move. I'm watching
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.069
how you pause. I'm watching this. I'm
00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:22.230
watching that. Right?
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.150
>> I just want to be in the room. You know
00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:26.790
what I mean? because I'm studying
00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:29.590
studying the grades like Kobe did Mike
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.110
every little movement. You know what I'm
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.750
saying?
00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:34.150
>> So it's like for
00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:36.230
>> the game to be released like that. It's
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.310
like and then what the podcast is really
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.230
about is to help anybody know that
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:41.350
anything is possible.
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:41.670
>> Sure.
00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:44.230
>> We take the impossibilities. We take
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.910
impossible and break it down to I'm
00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:46.629
possible.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:47.269
>> For sure.
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.629
>> So it's a world it's a it's a variety of
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.030
game being told. You just broke down
00:12:53.040 --> 00:12:55.269
guorilla marketing from the very small
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.710
sense of wearing a hoodie.
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.750
>> For sure.
00:12:57.760 --> 00:12:59.829
>> My man is still Gorilla Marketing. It's
00:12:59.839 --> 00:13:01.670
in your jeans. It's in your soul. You
00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:03.350
look at his chain, you can see it.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.310
>> Yeah. Everywhere I go.
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.269
>> Everywhere you go.
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.110
>> If you don't remember the name, all you
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:08.949
got to remember is, oh, that camera dude
00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:10.629
with the chain. Every time you look
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.829
down, you going to know, okay, Jay
00:13:11.839 --> 00:13:12.230
Pride.
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.590
>> First time I seen that, I was like, oh,
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:14.710
that's Jay right there.
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.069
>> For sure.
00:13:16.079 --> 00:13:17.430
>> Then I was like, how do I get a chain
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:17.910
like that?
00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:18.790
>> No, for sure.
00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:21.430
>> You know, for sure. And the thing about
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.509
the B, I'm telling you, I I've
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.590
experienced so much stuff. Like, so I
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.670
had a clothing store. The clothing store
00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:29.990
taught me how to go overseas and source
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.069
stuff. You start to realize because you
00:13:32.079 --> 00:13:33.910
see everything that says made in China.
00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.829
But you start to realize, oh, I can go
00:13:35.839 --> 00:13:39.190
find anything. I can have anything made.
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.590
Signs, shirts, I can get a vending
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.550
machine. I can get a um some a new tech
00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:47.829
product made. I can get jewelry made.
00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:49.110
Everything. But what people don't
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.110
understand about not only the jewelry
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.670
industry but every industry is most of
00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:56.790
what we're seeing is middlemen. The it's
00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:58.790
and the reason that middlemen work in
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:01.350
the US is because the US is one of those
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.990
places where marketing drives things.
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:04.389
Yeah.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.670
>> Overseas they don't care about
00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:07.269
marketing. They don't really care about
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:08.629
the way that you present. They want to
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.990
know what's the good product. They gonna
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.910
go with the best product. In the US it's
00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:12.629
not that.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:14.550
>> Who has the best message? Who's getting
00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:16.230
the most attention? And so that's why
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.389
middlemen work. So you start to realize
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.550
every single product that you can find,
00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:22.389
you can find it overseas or you can make
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.350
it yourself. Like understanding how
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.189
things are made, understanding how
00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:28.790
industries work, that's how you're going
00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:30.550
to get ahead because then you'll start
00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:32.629
to understand, okay, boom, this how I
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.189
can I can finesse this little thing
00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:37.030
where everybody going to brea and he's
00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:39.350
charging five times what it would cost
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.350
me to just do it myself. If I have time,
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.269
I'mma just do it myself. You feel me?
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.110
When I first started selling merch, I
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.350
was I had the Cricut cutting out the
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.910
vinyl. I was ironing them joints on
00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:52.389
straight house iron. Ironing the the
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.629
designs on, put it on a free Shopify
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.470
store and was selling straight like
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.030
that. You start to realize, boom, okay,
00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:02.870
I could go order 50 t-shirts, right? And
00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:04.790
them 50 t-shirts might sit because I
00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:06.949
might only sell seven. But if I'm making
00:15:06.959 --> 00:15:08.870
them myself, I was going to Hobby Lobby,
00:15:08.880 --> 00:15:11.670
getting a t-shirt from $3 to $5. Hobby
00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:14.069
Lobby. I was getting a roll of vinyl for
00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:15.990
like 20 bucks and now I know I got this
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.750
vinyl. I got the vinyl cutter. If
00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:19.590
somebody orders a t-shirt right now, I'm
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.030
gonna go to Hobby Lobby, pick up a
00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:23.829
t-shirt, iron it on, send it out. I
00:15:23.839 --> 00:15:25.990
don't have to go purchase 50 t-shirts
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.829
and have them sitting. So, the profit
00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:29.990
margins might be smaller in terms of
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.310
each individual shirt, but I don't have
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.550
to spend as much upfront. Then you start
00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:36.069
to kind of pick up some steam. All
00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:38.150
right, boom. I'm making these t-shirts.
00:15:38.160 --> 00:15:40.629
It's costing me $8 per t-shirt. I'm
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.870
selling the t-shirt for 25. The shipping
00:15:42.880 --> 00:15:45.829
is costing another $3 or whatever,
00:15:45.839 --> 00:15:48.230
right? So now you got $11 that you're
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.110
paying per customer and you're making an
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.430
extra 14 on top of that. You take all
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.470
them 14s and then after you sell 10 20
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.150
t-shirts. All right. Boom. Now I can go
00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:00.870
purchase the order I wanted off of just
00:16:00.880 --> 00:16:01.749
the profit.
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.069
>> Yeah.
00:16:02.079 --> 00:16:03.749
>> And now I don't put myself in a hole.
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.509
And now the business is is working off
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:06.150
of itself.
00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:07.350
>> Absolutely. And you start to
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.110
compartmentalize the business to
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.949
understand, okay, boom, the t-shirts are
00:16:10.959 --> 00:16:12.550
going to fuel the t-shirts.
00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:14.629
>> The bookings is going to fuel whatever,
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.150
right? You start to figure it out
00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:18.710
because like um dude was talking about
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.550
yesterday, I forget his name. Ace Ace
00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:23.189
metaphor. He was talking about how
00:16:23.199 --> 00:16:25.430
sometimes if he goes out and does an
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.670
event, the tickets at the door not gonna
00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:29.430
do it. But when you have the tickets at
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.749
the door and you have t-shirt sales and
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.189
you got ways that people can book you
00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:35.110
online and you got ways that you got a
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.590
Patreon on top of that, now the ticket
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.829
sales, you might barely break even. But
00:16:39.839 --> 00:16:41.189
of all the people that was, if you got a
00:16:41.199 --> 00:16:43.350
thousand people at the show and 200 of
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.189
them join the Patreon, if a hundred of
00:16:45.199 --> 00:16:47.430
them join the Patreon and the Patreon's
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.350
$30 a month and you get them on that
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.670
joint for two years, now that money
00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:53.430
starting to add up, right? is building
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.189
avenues that's going to feed into the
00:16:55.199 --> 00:16:57.269
business and understanding, okay, what's
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:58.870
the easiest way for me to get into this
00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:00.629
drawing right now? And then once I'm in
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.030
there, how do I use what I'm building to
00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:04.230
build the rest of it?
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.270
>> Yeah. Got you. Got you. And so I know
00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:10.789
like your dayto day is now we've already
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.230
talked about the market and we talked
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:13.829
about how we get through that. Now I
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.069
know your dayto-day is following around
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.630
following around Shans. Yeah. And being
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.230
responsible for that,
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.549
>> right? What is the biggest thing that
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.029
you picked up from a man of his caliber?
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.190
>> Uh, so I'mma answer that question, but
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.190
let me take a step back. One thing that
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.390
people don't understand is like you can
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.549
get in that room. You notice you can get
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.110
in a room. Anybody can kind of finesse
00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:41.430
away into a room, but staying in that
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.590
room is a different beast. And so what
00:17:43.600 --> 00:17:45.510
I've learned from people like him before
00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:48.470
I worked for for him is that they want
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.230
people who can learn without being
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:52.470
taught and they want people who can be
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.830
like self-sufficient. So number one for
00:17:55.840 --> 00:17:58.070
anybody who wants to be of value to that
00:17:58.080 --> 00:18:00.230
type of person, you got to go in there
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.270
with ideas and the and the capacity to
00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:05.830
execute. I if I go to Dave and I tell
00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:07.430
him, yo, I got this idea for something.
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.029
Okay, cool. Tell me what I need to do
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:10.870
and then you do whatever you got to do
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.470
outside of that. He don't want to have
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.630
to sit there and have to coach me on an
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.950
idea. I when I come to him, I got this
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.710
idea. This is how we gonna execute it.
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.990
Be in this room at this time. We're
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.909
gonna shoot it and then boom. That's how
00:18:21.919 --> 00:18:23.909
he like to operate. But in terms of what
00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:26.390
I've learned from just the way that he
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.669
moves, number one, Dave specifically is
00:18:29.679 --> 00:18:32.390
a very nice person. Like you, he's nicer
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.990
in person than he is on camera.
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:34.549
>> Oh, for sure.
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.630
>> He he'll acknowledge everybody in the
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.549
room. He'll shake every hand. He'll give
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.549
you a hug. He'll he'll hug you like
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.710
y'all been lifelong friends. It's the
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.470
first day he ever met you. You feel me?
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.070
So, he's a very nice guy. The way he
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:49.190
moves, um he values his family, he does
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.070
not work at all Saturdays and Sundays.
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:53.750
Most people at his level, they're
00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:56.310
grinding all the time. The fact that he
00:18:56.320 --> 00:18:58.950
set aside those days to go to church and
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.710
to spend time with his his family is
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.950
huge because a lot of people not going
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.950
to give up them. That's 48 hours. A lot
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.029
could be done in 48 hours. Podcast
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.110
Summit only two days. look at how much
00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:10.470
you accomplishing in these two days.
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.310
It's like 48 hours could do a lot
00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:14.310
because he sets that time aside because
00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:15.510
he knows what he values.
00:19:15.520 --> 00:19:15.909
>> Yeah.
00:19:15.919 --> 00:19:17.669
>> On top of that, I I'm learning that
00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:19.750
like, bro, there's levels to this.
00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:23.270
Because a lot of times when you from a
00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:24.870
atmosphere where you don't see a lot of
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.470
people who are winning, you don't
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.150
understand what it's like. I'll give you
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.549
a perfect example of this. I was working
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.110
as a videographer and my creative
00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:34.710
director, he saw me watching these
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.430
financial literacy videos and to him, he
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.950
grew up as an only child in Silicon
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:40.710
Valley. His family had money.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.029
>> Yeah.
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.710
>> It was stuff he seen his entire life. So
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.470
in him, he was like, "Bro, why are you a
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.990
grown man watching videos about the
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.270
stuff I learned when I was seven and
00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:48.470
eight?"
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.270
>> Different environments.
00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:51.350
>> It's different environments. And so it
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:53.029
allows you to get in these environments
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.710
and you start to see how they move.
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.510
Okay. Boom. So he has his community. All
00:19:57.520 --> 00:19:58.789
right. I know he has his community.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.590
Okay. He he pays somebody to manage the
00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:02.950
community. Okay, there's there's these
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.710
people who host the community. They go
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.390
and they talk and they they make sure
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.070
the community good before he steps in
00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:09.669
and starts teaching, right? They laying
00:20:09.679 --> 00:20:11.590
the foundation. Okay, cool. He got the
00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:14.230
he's running ads. He's spent over
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:17.110
$100,000 in ads alone for Podcast
00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:19.110
Summit. You don't know that if you're
00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:21.110
not in the room. You don't know that
00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:23.750
they're investing six figures just to
00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:25.909
for people to know. You just don't
00:20:25.919 --> 00:20:27.029
understand that that's how they're
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.029
operating, right? So, you start to pick
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.470
up on the little things because you can
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.669
have a great idea, but like I told Dave
00:20:33.679 --> 00:20:36.390
when I met him, I was like, "Yo, I I
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.270
couldn't have guessed what your
00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:39.430
dayto-day looks like as somebody who
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.510
watches your your videos because you
00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:43.190
don't know what people are investing in
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:44.630
behind the scenes. You don't know what
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:45.909
businesses they're building behind the
00:20:45.919 --> 00:20:47.909
scenes. You just kind of know whatever
00:20:47.919 --> 00:20:49.190
they put out there because the
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.110
internet's curated. Anything you put out
00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:53.430
there, you edited, you cut up, and you
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.350
release that. You could drop, you
00:20:55.360 --> 00:20:57.669
probably recorded 10, 15 podcasts here
00:20:57.679 --> 00:20:59.669
at Podcast Summit. You could be dropping
00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:02.470
these joints every once a week for the
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.110
next six months and people wouldn't know
00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:07.029
that you doing whatever else you're
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:08.470
doing that may have nothing to do with
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.830
the pod. Like that's just how the
00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:11.909
internet works. And so for him, like,
00:21:11.919 --> 00:21:13.270
>> you think that's a good thing or a bad
00:21:13.280 --> 00:21:14.070
thing? Real quick,
00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:15.430
>> I think it's a good thing. Okay.
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.270
>> I think it's a good thing that you can
00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:20.950
curate. Like they only going to know
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.470
what you going to put out there.
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.710
>> Yeah. There's pros and cons to it, but
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.630
it's just like you just got to
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:28.070
understand. Like for me, because I'm in
00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:29.990
the industry, sometimes I see through
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.590
certain things. I see how people are
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:33.590
moving. Oh, that's a play. They're about
00:21:33.600 --> 00:21:35.510
to sell something. And while everybody
00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:37.430
else is just tuned into this story,
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.230
yeah, that's fake. Everybody, oh, this
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.510
new relationship's going on. It's all
00:21:41.520 --> 00:21:43.909
over shape. That's fake. And it's
00:21:43.919 --> 00:21:45.190
probably distracting us from something
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.789
bigger that's happening right now, which
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:48.390
is a whole other story.
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.390
>> And to be honest, we're at a point of no
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.630
return. Everybody says, "Yo, if I see
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.110
something that's AI, I know it's AI."
00:21:55.120 --> 00:21:57.029
You don't know what's AI because when we
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:58.710
see something that's AI and we don't
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:00.149
know it's AI, we don't know that we
00:22:00.159 --> 00:22:02.950
don't know. We're past the point of no
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.909
like we're beyond the point of being
00:22:05.919 --> 00:22:07.190
able to believe our eyes.
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.430
>> Everything is AI, bro. Captions is AI.
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.950
So, you can't tell me that. You know
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.710
what I'm saying? There's things on my
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.510
role right now that is AI.
00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:17.909
>> Yeah. But you know why you don't think
00:22:17.919 --> 00:22:20.789
it's AI is because I went in there and I
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.830
put my touch on it
00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:24.310
>> for sure. But even beyond that, the the
00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:27.110
generative like it now with the stuff
00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:29.430
that's happening with AI video, somebody
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.909
can type in a prompt that looks like
00:22:31.919 --> 00:22:33.590
this space and you think you're watching
00:22:33.600 --> 00:22:36.070
a real video. Like we're past the point
00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:38.549
of knowing what's real. Which goes to
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:39.350
me.
00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:41.270
>> My thing is like now you got to
00:22:41.280 --> 00:22:42.870
understand the only thing that's real is
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.990
our community. Yeah.
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.430
>> What we're building, the people we
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.110
talking to and dealing with on a daily
00:22:47.120 --> 00:22:48.630
basis, that's the only thing that's
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:49.110
real.
00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:49.909
>> Yeah.
00:22:49.919 --> 00:22:51.590
>> And so now it's like we got to really
00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:54.070
assess what do we value, what do we care
00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:55.909
about, how we going to operate, how we
00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:57.669
going to move with that in mind. So
00:22:57.679 --> 00:22:58.149
>> yeah.
00:22:58.159 --> 00:22:59.909
>> Yeah. It's it's it's ups and downs to it
00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:03.510
all, but it's you see that like Dave is
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:05.270
building he said publicly he's building
00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:07.350
a tech startup right now. He hasn't said
00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:10.310
what that tech startup is, but you don't
00:23:10.320 --> 00:23:12.789
know how he's moving behind the scenes.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.029
You don't know the the meetings he's in
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.110
sitting with lawyers getting uh getting
00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:18.549
patents for stuff and getting all the
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:20.149
stuff sorted out. Like you just don't
00:23:20.159 --> 00:23:20.549
see that.
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:21.830
>> He ain't told nobody. Huh.
00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:23.990
>> Yeah. I mean some of he he's told people
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:26.070
that he's in his process like he said it
00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:27.669
on the pod. He said it on stage. He said
00:23:27.679 --> 00:23:29.750
it on live streams. But when he
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:31.909
announces what he's building, people
00:23:31.919 --> 00:23:33.669
will see like, "Oh, I would have never
00:23:33.679 --> 00:23:34.310
known."
00:23:34.320 --> 00:23:34.630
>> Yeah.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.470
>> I all I know is you do the pause.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.070
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. For sure.
00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:40.470
But no, he he's a he's a very important
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.789
man. very he's very intelligent genius
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.470
man. Somebody I intend to learn from for
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.909
a very long time. Um absolutely cuz uh I
00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:49.830
mean just how he is. I mean like you
00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:52.630
talked about he's very personable very
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.710
like he walks up to me like what's up
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:55.270
baby?
00:23:55.280 --> 00:23:56.630
>> Yeah.
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.789
>> Like we went like we hoop cuz I hoop
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:00.390
like we hoop together like you know what
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:02.230
I'm saying? Like we partners like
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.230
>> and it's like and I don't have no
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.750
question for him
00:24:05.760 --> 00:24:06.950
>> cuz I'm listening.
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:07.350
>> Yeah.
00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:09.909
>> I'm listening. I don't got a question. I
00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:11.590
got a thousand. I got a million
00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:14.230
questions,
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.590
but I'm listening to you.
00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:20.070
>> You already giving me the game when you
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:21.909
speak. It's not even about having a
00:24:21.919 --> 00:24:22.710
question.
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.470
>> But you got to understand like I didn't
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.310
this this is my first time at Podcast
00:24:26.320 --> 00:24:28.230
Summit. But following Dave around, I
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:29.830
didn't seen so many people who've been
00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:32.470
at Podcast Summit before. And I've seen
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:35.269
lady say, "Yeah, I was here last year. I
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.510
took in all the game and you know now
00:24:37.520 --> 00:24:39.029
we're going into the the next year
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:40.710
podcast summit. I think after this
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.190
I'm'll be ready to do episode one.
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.590
>> They paid all the money to be in the
00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:48.070
spot to listen to the game.
00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:49.269
>> A year went by.
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.269
>> Yeah. Everybody at a different space
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:52.789
>> and and they they haven't done nothing.
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.909
Like I tell people just pull the
00:24:53.919 --> 00:24:54.950
trigger,
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.029
>> set up the phone, record, put it out
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.350
there.
00:24:57.360 --> 00:24:58.870
>> I mean you you already see how I get
00:24:58.880 --> 00:24:59.350
down, bro.
00:24:59.360 --> 00:24:59.750
>> Yeah.
00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:00.950
>> I take my shot.
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:01.190
>> Yeah.
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:02.390
>> Hey, I'm not playing
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.870
>> for sure. I I put money into this,
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:06.870
>> you know, and I'm I'mma take my shot for
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.630
sure. Like you already know, like you
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.230
you've been seeing me work behind the
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.230
scenes for show and I'm gonna continue.
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:13.750
Like before I got here, I had 10
00:25:13.760 --> 00:25:15.750
episodes. Monday the 4th, I dropped my
00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:18.149
first episode uh in memory of my father.
00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:21.750
So it's my story. And um here uh I think
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:25.909
you might even be 11 episode
00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:27.110
>> at Podcast Summit.
00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:29.750
>> Sure. So now I got like 21 22
00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:30.710
>> in the batch
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:31.269
>> for sure
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.350
>> dropping each week. You see what I'm
00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:33.590
saying?
00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:33.909
>> Yeah.
00:25:33.919 --> 00:25:36.630
>> Like so. And this has opened up my eyes
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.710
to a whole lot more than just
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.669
podcasting, networking.
00:25:41.679 --> 00:25:43.430
My goal is before I leave here is to
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.750
have uh a thousand followers. I'm at 940
00:25:47.760 --> 00:25:50.230
something. And because I took my shot at
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.950
the cookout, it's already went up
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.510
>> for sure.
00:25:53.520 --> 00:25:55.510
>> You know what I mean? I got to 945
00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:57.669
>> for sure. So, it's just about that,
00:25:57.679 --> 00:26:00.230
right? So, um you know, before we go
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:01.430

here, but uh where can they find you?
00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:06.390
How can you help them if you can help
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:07.909
them? If you have something on the side
00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:10.149
besides doing what you do?
00:26:10.159 --> 00:26:12.070

do coaching. Um, and we're actually
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:25.669
starting a community that'll be
00:26:25.679 --> 00:26:27.590
launching in the next month where we're
00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:29.590
teaching the all of us that do the
00:26:29.600 --> 00:26:31.350
behind the scenes of Dave's stuff. We're
00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:33.190
teaching it. We're teaching the admin
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.950
side of it. We're teaching the editing
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:37.909
side. Um, editing from phones and from
00:26:37.919 --> 00:26:40.230
computers. Uh, we're teaching the tech
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.590
side, understanding lights,
00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:43.110
understanding cameras, understanding
00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:45.990
lens. We're going to be the spot to be
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.669
for any creator, anybody who wants to
00:26:47.679 --> 00:26:49.350
create, we're going to put it all there.
00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:51.990
So, um, Creators Clubhouse classroom is
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.070
coming in the next month, but yeah,
00:26:54.080 --> 00:26:56.470
follow me on Instagram, shoot me a DM.
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.870
Um, and yeah, I'll get you right.
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:00.870
>> Absolutely, man. And then what does
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.470
breaking the possibilities mean to you,
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.029
my guy?
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:04.789
>> Man, breaking impossibilities means not
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.990
putting yourself in the box that they
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:07.669
put they want to put you in.
00:27:07.679 --> 00:27:10.070
>> Showing them that like, bro, it's it's
00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:12.789
the first time I got a camera, I was 17.
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.110
I spent $2,000 on a camera. My uncle
00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:16.710
said, "Yo, why don't you just do that
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:18.149
camera stuff on the side and get a real
00:27:18.159 --> 00:27:19.590
job?
00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:21.669
Couple years later, I made six figures
00:27:21.679 --> 00:27:24.230
off a camera. And then everybody was
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:25.590
asking me, "Oh, yo, how do I do the
00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:28.070
camera thing?" Like, people are going to
00:27:28.080 --> 00:27:29.909
say, "Yo, you can't do that." And it's
00:27:29.919 --> 00:27:32.870
not even it's not even always out of
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:34.390
malicious intent. They just don't
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:35.590
understand. They ain't never seen it
00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:37.909
before. But as I learned from uh Steve
00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:40.390
Harvey, it's nobody's job to see out of
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.510
your eyes. Only you can see your vision.
00:27:43.520 --> 00:27:44.870
And so when they don't see it, that's
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.750
cool. Let them be. Do your thing. That's
00:27:47.760 --> 00:27:49.350
gonna be breaking that impossibility.
00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:51.590
>> Absolutely, man. I appreciate that. Uh
00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:53.269
and I I think I told you the other day,
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.430
I says having that camera in your hand
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.029
put you in different rooms that nobody
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:57.830
can get into.
00:27:57.840 --> 00:27:59.269
>> For sure.
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:00.310
>> Facts.
00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:00.870
>> 100%.
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:02.149
>> You can walk around anywhere with a
00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:02.950
camera in your hand,
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:04.310
>> man. What? Yes.
00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:05.990
>> Your camera in your hand gives you a
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.110
staff badge at any event, media pass.
00:28:09.120 --> 00:28:10.470
Like, you don't even have to have the
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.310
badge on. You got the camera
00:28:12.320 --> 00:28:12.870
>> for sure.
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:13.990
>> You know what I'm saying? They're
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.029
getting a little more strict cuz
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:16.230
everybody walking around with a camera
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.230
now. But it's how you move, you know?
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.430
>> Yeah. You got to move like you you
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:19.909
belong.
00:28:19.919 --> 00:28:20.710
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:21.909
>> I appreciate you for having me on.
00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:24.070
>> I appreciate you, man. You can find him
00:28:24.080 --> 00:28:26.710
in the description. Well,
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.269
>> I mean, as well, you know, uh I'm
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.789
definitely going to be a part of that uh
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.029
classroom community. Thank you for
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:34.230
shouting that out, man. I'm going to tap
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.149
