So at the end of the day, you know, it's like I was in an eight, you know what I'm saying, living out down there and all of that, you know what I'm saying, partying with the best of them. But, you know, when I used to arrive, you know what I'm saying, it sounded like this then.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I'm saying, 03, 04, all of that. So it was just like when it was my time to shine, I just, you know, brought that to the table, you know what I'm saying? Because that's the only thing I know, you know what I'm saying? I can't, I mean, I can if I want to rap on some trap shit. But it was just like just being me coming out the gate, you know what I'm saying? And at that time, everybody from New York was trying to rap like that was from the South, you know, 2012, you know what I'm saying? So I was just like, yo, I got to do something. from the supply and demand
Starting point is 00:05:28 like I gotta bring niggas into my world you know what I'm saying and that's what it was I just stuck to the script the shit still sound like that now you know what I'm saying

Starting point is 00:05:47 when you we getting up an agent doing this shit it was a matter of it wasn't about you know what I'm saying pull that mic closer to you get it right here
Starting point is 00:05:54 it wasn't about sitting down with the labels or doing none of the shit that we're doing now. It was about putting the dope shit out and getting the money off of it. You know what I'm saying? Like you don't got to be like signed to a label.
Starting point is 00:06:04 You don't got to be this. You know what I'm saying? That just so happens. That's how it happened. But, you know, niggas was basically based the hustle on themselves, you know what I'm saying? It wasn't relying on nothing else.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Believe that. Before we go any further, can you do me in favor? Can you just put that water right there on the other? Yeah. Because this episode of me and I was worth of games, bought to you by our new Amsterdam vodka. No Amsterdam.

Starting point is 00:07:49 For years New York City I'm talking about New York New York Big City It dreams Never claimed Buffalo Fucking bills
Starting point is 00:08:02 Jim Kelly Thurman Thomas Bruce fucking Smith What was Andre fucking Reed Reed was a legend They never claimed none of them niggas
Starting point is 00:08:17 Never But they claim in y'all New York City. New York City. Norrie sat right here on the couch. I said, tell me some niggins in New York that's popping. He said, Griselle, the gang.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I said, nigga, they're from Buffalo. You remember you said that shit, no, you remember that shit, no. I said, Nicket ain't from Buffalo. Niggins said, no. They're from New York, too. It's it. Tell me he made a trade. How does it feel to be from Buffalo and finally get that fucking respect that y'all deserve
Starting point is 00:08:53 on the music side? from the mecca because New York City is the mecca the hip hop shit how we feel that it's like yeah nigga yeah recognize read them niggas too I feel great
Starting point is 00:09:10 you know what I'm saying but like I said go back to us just doing us you know what I'm saying that we earned that respect because two three years ago they were still acting like that then too you know what I'm saying it really really just been picking up like the last couple years But we're still acting funny a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:09:28 She changed quick. You already know, we had to change that, though. You know what I'm saying? But that just go about, you know, our hustle. You know what I mean? It's just how dope we really are. You know, I mean, you got to respect it. Like, even if you don't like us, you got to respect it, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:09:43 And, like, you check the resumes, you know what I'm saying? It's not like we can check a lot of other resumes. I guarantee them shit's don't check. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like, you know, at the end of the day, You know, we official dudes, and, you know, we put in that work, man, and we hustle higher. So it's like, you got to respect it. Like, at the end of the day, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Like, now the same dudes that I was making a living trying to switch they said to the South shit. They can't make a bag off that no more. Now they're trying to come back and fuck with our wave, you know what I'm saying? Right. For real. Like, everything that y'all do that I like is, like, it's, it connect with yesterday, the vinyl, all that stuff, the merch, like, You know, when you think about merch And I always, I pump this to the young cast
Starting point is 00:10:28 Merch is important to me, I just believe so But when you think about merch I'm thinking about like a rock band going on tour Like I'm not, you know, I don't remember too much rapper merch. You don't think about it But the way y'all go with it, y'all just go fucking extreme on an other level Because you understand like people want to wear your stuff
Starting point is 00:10:44 Because they feel you. And you know, when you see You know, we've seen guns and roses Metallica shirts growing up Skid Row You know, we always seen people wearing them you know, the gashes, we never knew. But y'all shit is, like, serious, the merch and just, just the whole mindset of, you know, a motherfucker think, you're selling vinyl? What is, they don't understand the market in vinyl and how it was like, like, you all,
Starting point is 00:11:05 y'all always say this is art. Why you always say this is art? Because it is, you know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like, every project I make, I turn it to Da Vinci, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I try to paint a picture. And they're like, you know, with the merch, you know. it's not it's not merch to me i don't treat it like merch i treat it like a real clothing brand so you know griselda records come from griselda by fashion rebel so it was a clothing brand first
Starting point is 00:11:36 anyway you see what i'm saying so like a lot of dudes you know they come out with music and then it's like okay let's focus on this merch like i'll look at the merch you know what i'm saying you want to call it merch but i look at designing before i even look at the music so it's kind of I approach it totally different. I approach the clothing part of it first, you know what I'm saying? So even when I design, I'm thinking, I'm not even thinking, like, you know, even for the project, because the project is going to do what they do, but it's like, damn, how can I turn this into people wanting to get this on vinyl, this cover?
Starting point is 00:12:12 People want to wear this shirt, people want to, you know what I'm saying? So it's just like I learned just a long time ago, like the music money is straight, but it's what everything else you do is the bag you know what I'm saying so if you're just focusing on music you're out here about to have a cup in your hands if you ain't switching up doing something else you know what I'm saying like you gotta
Starting point is 00:12:35 you gotta have more than one hustle you know what I mean and I just we've been doing another thing too we've been wearing our own shit since we was 13 14 years old that's what I'm saying and we're not no spring chicken so just imagine how many years we really been doing
Starting point is 00:12:52 this you know what I'm saying so it's just like a lot of dudes like I said they get a popular song they get lit they go on the road then they make a shirt that's not them I've been I was calling getting screen printed shirts and we was getting custom shit when I was 12 years old that just come with not being no overnight success either like we get season you know what I'm saying you get season you get to learn and grind and come about it from a different angle you know what I'm saying And now we have different strategies and, you know, we can connect with people, especially this generation that is so entrepreneurial. Like, you're able to connect with those people that are our connoisseurs
Starting point is 00:13:33 and people that actually are making money from just, you know, even being, you know, a 9-to-5 or even being in the streets. We connect them to a lot of different people. It's a movement. It's about more than just music. It's about, you know, owning your own shit, you know, being our own boss, you know, not sign into no major at first. You know what I'm saying? And being able to create your own wave and be able to, you know, actually,
Starting point is 00:14:00 I guess just, you know, get it out the mud. I think that's why so many people, like, respect it and connect to Grizilda as a whole. It's like because they're able to see themselves in us. They're able to see, like, you know, yeah, I didn't get on at this certain time, but I'm going. I'm going to keep grind and I'm going, you know, doing it because if they could do it, then I could do it.
Starting point is 00:14:21 I was talking to you, Benny, about your audience. Describe your audience, man, because y'all got a real, rather unique audience. You know, I came to the Sony Hall thing. Wes, I had to join the Sony Hall. Kyle was there. You wasn't there, I don't think. That's the one I threw the money back in the crowd. You threw the money back in the crowd when you had to read, to read my clear one.
Starting point is 00:14:41 It was a crazy night. I'm telling me. They paid me for the show. He threw the money back. He threw the money back. He threw the money back. It was crazy. I got that somewhere on my phone.
Starting point is 00:14:50 But what was crazy about it was. like, I'm looking at the audience, but the people that was coming through Q-Tip came through. A bunch of different people came through that night. Your audience, describe your audience and why it's so different than anybody else's. Man, I want to describe it because, like, I always tell this stories like, you know, these niggins is my family, but when they got, when they got wind under their wings with this rap shit, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:12 I was somewhere else doing me, so I got to see it how everybody else saw, but early. I'm saying? We was kicking it earlier upstairs about how, like, you actually. when he first got, you know what I mean? And me, I had to realize it like everybody else.
Starting point is 00:15:24 These niggas coming around with rollies on and doing shit. I'm like, fuck these nigg's doing. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:15:30 Real shit. And I paid close attention. I remember I'm going to the show in Boston in 2016. I drove from Buffalo about eight hours of Boston. These niggas had a show told me pull up.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I'm still living in a project just early, early, early, early. And I've seen it. It was Boston. It was like hardcore hip-hop people. People who believe in this shit. It was grown people
Starting point is 00:15:50 who can afford to buy. $100 items, it was people who opinion mattered because they golden era fans. And I'm saying? So I really think the fans help catapult Griselda to a certain point because, you know, it's what the game been missing. You know, a lot of people say that, but it's literally what the game been missing. So it's real hardcore fans. And I learned from the fans.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I'm like, damn, everybody would be chasing the kids, but a kid can't afford. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's certain, you know, kids ask their parents for my kids. Our fans are the parents, you know what I'm saying, who could come, who could travel and get in hotel rooms and getting flights to a Griselda show and standing in the line for the meet and greet and buy merch. Like I said, and most importantly, their opinions matter because they're golden age hip hop fans. So when they say, no, Griselda is this. We know, we listen, we come from that. They're qualified to get y'all that type.
Starting point is 00:16:43 They're going to put that stamp on y'all. They got a certificate of proof because it's like, no, we grew up knowing this type shit. because like I tell people when I went to that show I went to that show it was like hold up I'm seeing all type of all type of people
Starting point is 00:16:57 up in this joints it was crazy yeah because that's the thing like so you're gonna have your OG niggas that did 10 come home and be like yo this the illest shit I heard
Starting point is 00:17:10 since the 90s right right you're gonna have your niggas that's selling dope like yo you hear what these niggas talk about they're bagging up or they're riding around, you know what I'm saying, doing what they do to it.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Then you got your fly niggis, like, yo, you heard the shit, them niggas said. I ain't even know niggas was on that or, or that's the type of shit we're on. We're spending $1,000 for a t-shirt. We know exactly what he's talking about. Then, you know what I'm saying? You got, because, like, my son, you know what I'm saying, fly guy's junior, he's 19. He just turned 19. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:17:45 And I'm his friend's favorite rapper, you know what I'm saying? Because at the same time, too, guess what? We're wearing the shit they wearing, you know what I'm saying? So it's just like, it's bridging the gap. You know what I'm saying? That's really what it is. And it's wild because even like, you know, I have a store. So it's just like it'd be kids coming in there, you know, 12, 13 years old with their grandmother or sitting in line.
Starting point is 00:18:10 You know what I mean? I'll do a drop. They're in line with their grandmother, 11 years old, 12 years old wanting to support, you know what I'm saying? so it's just like it's a wide range and you got like I said you got the true hip hop you know they figure like feel like they you know the purest you know what I'm saying so they love the DJ premiere the Alchemist the Pete Rock you know what I'm saying but then you got songs like I say you got songs like with everybody you know what I'm saying the five the 50s with the bounce it's like real talk between every member of
Starting point is 00:18:43 Grizzell that we're going to give you every sound possible of hip hop you know what I'm saying it's like it's not one sound that we can't do so and I don't think nobody that's what I'm saying we just too versatile you know I'm saying and then it's just like we're on your head top man it's too many like if I'm not dropping she drop him she ain't dropping he dropping he dropping he dropping you know what I'm saying so it's just like we on your neck you know what I'm saying let me get a use some game right about something Ben Something Benny said that I don't want to go for y'all here. He said that they was already on, am I right?
Starting point is 00:19:25 They was doing anything. They had a paid-out show. They had shows that was already sold out. People coming there, people buying merch. People. He said, man, I was living in the projects in 2016. That was five years ago. Five years ago, really sure.

Starting point is 00:31:44 in the hospital I just was like I'm gonna still be illy than niggas anyway you know what I once I thought this this rap shit was over for me it was just like because I you know I sacrificed so much and I put so much
Starting point is 00:31:57 in this in making this shit making this dream come to fruition that you know what I mean once I, you know, the doctor's saying I ain't going to walk and all that, like, you know, that shit. Like, I'm just like, I wish niggas would have smoked me, you know what I'm saying? Damn. But now, you say the rapist's shit was going to work.

Starting point is 00:32:53 You looked at me like I was a, because you know how many people that's older and people look at him like, nigga, you know how baby, nigga, you're trying to rap, especially the baby moms. baby moms in the ghetto is some they they will cut you deep oh nigga you out here oh you you're a rapper now huh fuck my oh my son they will kill you with you because you know that that that that that that that hurt and all the shit to let down and all that you know what I mean so they're looking at you and it's a stigma yeah it's a stigma it's a fucking you up if you don't blow or you don't make it in rapping by a certain age is over for you right it's a stigma so even your baby mom or your girlfriend or somebody
Starting point is 00:33:31 They fall into that stigma trying to talk you out of chasing your fucking dreams. They kill you. Especially where we're from, you know what I'm saying? Because nobody ever made it. It's never been done before. So they're like, y'all niggas tripping. Y'all niggas fucking tripping. Every day in our life, it's history.

You know what I'm saying? It's never been done before. Like, nigga, you tripping. But y'all had to believe. Let me ask you a question, Kyle.
Starting point is 00:34:01 when it happened to you and the doctors told you that and you felt how you felt and you went through all them emotions and then you realize that no doctor you was wrong
Starting point is 00:34:18 you said I might not walk again but God said I'm going to walk again and I'm going to talk again how much did that feel your fire to be Like, y'all niggas gave me another chance at life. Mm-hmm. Y'all counted me out.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah. Y'all had me down bad out this bitch. That's the fact. And y'all tried to ice me. I got you, niggas. You're going to pick. Nah, that's exactly the, you know, the vibe. That was the feeling.
Starting point is 00:34:53 That was the thoughts right there. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's quiet for niggas now. You know what I'm saying? Nah, he was popping his shit. shit like don't talk your shit because i knew because i knew like me like i kind of got my confidence but i always have my confidence in my pen but i just stopped giving a fuck about my situations and shit i couldn't control and i just like you know what i mean
Starting point is 00:35:18 niggas can't fuck with me anyway you know what i'm saying like lyrically or street wise or no way you know what i'm saying so it's like fuck these niggas and i just was on that type of time I mean, that's how I felt all that shit, like, because niggas was counting me out, niggas thought I wasn't going, you know what I'm saying? Niggas thought I wasn't going to overcome that obstacle. You know what I'm saying? So, you know what I mean?

Something, somewhere in your course you wasn't going right. And he said, no, no, I got it, I got to, I got to, make it right and you might have been street to the point where it had to be something drastic
Starting point is 00:36:06 because everything happened for a reason you feel what I'm saying and and now that just make you even count your blessings even more like when I look at life and I look at all the shit that I've been through and I know that these niggas couldn't fuck with this rap shit but now that I'm old I wasn't ready I would have got that that money at a young age shit a lot of shit would have happened to a lot of niggas I probably would have been

So make sure you all tap into what's going on, tap into this number that he's going to give you, and tap into this game that's going to get you.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Van, start. Like, what is the first thing I do if I'm Johnny, nobody, and I want to start a brand. I don't know nothing about it. I don't got no track. I ain't got a bunch of followers on Instagram, but I want to start a brand. And I want to become or I want to become a brand. What do I do? Well, the first thing you got to do is make sure you LLC your name.
Starting point is 00:46:50 You know what I'm saying? The first thing you got to do is make sure you, because you're going to get traction, because I'm about to tell you how to get traction. But the first thing you got to do is go take your name, LLC your name, because your name is your brand, right? So the next thing that you got to do is you got to see what you give into the world, what you're giving to the earth. You got to know exactly which value that you're about to give, right?
Starting point is 00:47:09 And then you got to get in tune with what your story is. What is your story that's going to make people resonate with you? And that's what I've been able to do to create my million-dollar brand, hustle the entrepreneur, or we in the building man listen right in 2018 my whole life got stripped from me police came to the door knocked on the door took everything i had i'm black i'm muslim they took everything thought i was a terrorist had guns i like big guns with a lot of ammo right they thought i was a terrorist and took everything i was fighting that case for 18 months bro so that's why i could resonate with your stories i didn't do the time you did but i did 18 months so when i got out in 2018 i ended up
Starting point is 00:47:47 beating the case they was like nah we're just playing you ain't a terrorist right let me out i started with nothing bro i came out with absolutely nothing but i had expertise in my head about what i wanted to do and what i wanted to do was give value to the earth i've been in a health and fitness space for 10 plus years i got out and said you know what my story is i came from nothing i want to help people so i went to the gyms and say you know what let me show you how to take your brand to the next level so i went into the gym i hired trainers i told the gym listen You're in a community where people don't want to play basketball. People don't want to swim.
Starting point is 00:48:22 These people want to get in, and they want to just get in shape. Group training was popping at the time. So I came in and created a whole group training program for three gyms in my neighborhood in Arizona. Took them gym from six figures to seven figures, showed them how to be able to scale and now open up 10 new locations. So I said, okay, I got that. I got that. So from there, I said, you know what, let me start helping other people outside of fitness. because now I know how to be able to come in, show somebody
Starting point is 00:48:47 how to be able to take what they got going and take it to the next level. So I would tell somebody that's starting right now, get in tune with what your story is, no matter if you lost everything, no matter where you at, and start giving value to your community first. That's important now.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Now, when you say you came out, you ain't hit me. And I don't want to cut him off. I don't want to cut him off, but it's funny that you say that because when Walu came home from prison from doing 20 years, the first thing he did was run around to all the local businesses and gave him free promo. I did the commercial because I had to get, like you said, I had to get my proof of concept of my brand.
Starting point is 00:49:26 I had to get my value. So I would go to a store, yeah, how are you doing, man? You got this rib shack. Can I do a commercial for you? They're like, commercial. They didn't even have a clue. But I'm like, I got a little follow on Instagram. I'm going to do it for free.

Starting point is 00:49:47 but I had to get my proof that when I do a commercial for you, it's value and it brings value. So I would go to it. Hey, I'm a lot of two to seven. I'm at Johnny's Rib Shack. One thing about the ribs when you bite it to them, the meat gets stuck between your teeth. It's so tender.
Starting point is 00:49:59 It fall off the bone. I'm talking about, listen, this sauce, I don't know how you make the sauce, but how do you make this sauce? Tell them what's got going on. Tell them how do you get down with it. And it was popping. I got the Harrison line calling me.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I got the clothing line calling me I got the regular general store call and it's just about that value that you've seen bringing value to people and that's how you was that but if I want to get with you
Starting point is 00:50:23 and I'm talking about like what is you teaching me what did you teach me as I'm just Johnny nobody out here Johnny nobody out here listen story sell products and services don't so we got to use that phone that we got to use that Instagram
Starting point is 00:50:35 and we got to start telling our story on our page we got to start showing people what you're about and what value you give to the earth. So, for example, start posting on social media. Right now, right away. If you're not posting on social media, you're doing it wrong.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Nobody knows you. It's like back in the day when they used to say, if you don't got a website, you ain't got a business. Right now, if you ain't got content on your page, you ain't got a business. Damn. So that content is real powerful. Content is everything.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Content running the earth right now. So if I'm coming to your seminar and I'm coming and I'm Johnny, nobody, what is I'm learning? What is I'm learning? What is the steps? that I'm learning to be able to take my brain to the next level. 14 questions you've got to know. What's the problem of the people that you want to help?
Starting point is 00:51:18 What's the frustration of the people that you want to help? What are they complaining about to their friends and family on a day-to-day basis in relation to the problem that you solve? It's two in the morning. Your client is looking up at the ceiling, that ceiling fan that we all got in our house that make noise. What is they fearful of, anxious of? What do they want to accomplish?
Starting point is 00:51:35 What's the most pressing crisis in their life right now that they need solve right away? you need to be able to answer those questions about your products and services, what you be able to help this person with. And then from there, you got to start producing content that has to do with showing them that you are the authority in that space to be able to solve those problems. And then when you attract that person to your pays, they're going to be like, oh, damn, he know what I'm dealing with. Man, he know my problems.
Starting point is 00:51:56 He know what I'm complaining about. And he's been able to overcome it. So they look at you as the authority in their space and they start rocking with you. So that's how you've been able since 2018 to be able to become a millionaire. off of, you know, teaching people about Brandon because they look at you as the authority of your space. Look at me as the authority in my space and I'm telling my story every single day and I'm showing them about my life and what I do and I'm using the hustler to entrepreneur movement
Starting point is 00:52:24 as the vessel to get them to that thing because we all been hustling, right? That's the reason I call it hustle to entrepreneur. We've been hustling day to day. Every day we hustle trying to get the rent paid, trying to get the bills paid, but we have no vision forward, right? So entrepreneurship is about how. having systems in place, having people in place, having a team in place, having a vision that has legs on it more than our day-to-day hustle.
Starting point is 00:52:46 So that's why I created the brand hustler, the entrepreneur, to help hustlers start becoming entrepreneurs using their story. They trip-ups in life and turning them in a triumph. Basically, you're teaching hustlers to legitimize their hustle. Exactly. And put the infrastructure around this hustle because he's saying, listen, y'all, you know how to grind. You know how to get this some money.
Starting point is 00:53:07 you're not but but but it's like that that lack of infrastructure don't give you the support you need like you know even last year a lot of people they had businesses i mean but they had hustles they didn't have businesses so they couldn't benefit from the money that the government was given because there was no infrastructure there now say i'm uh i'm just just some examples say i'm the guy i know how to make a mean turkey burger mm-hmm i know how to make a mean turkey burger but i'm making it out the crib how would you help me yeah so i actually got a story man i helped the guy that wanted to open a restaurant man he was a beast at the food, right? He had a big social media following, right? He was dropping content every day,
Starting point is 00:53:42 but he wanted to get a restaurant. And how was he making his food just in the crib? Man, he was making his food out the crib. He was hustling, making his food out the crib. Everybody in the neighborhood knew about them and the people on Instagram would come to the house. He would have like meal preps and stuff like that, but he wanted to get into a restaurant. So I said, you know what? Instead of getting into a restaurant, we're going to go to the five restaurants in the neighborhoods that got slow days, right? So we went, three turned them down. The fourth one said maybe, but the fifth one say yep let's do it right so then every tuesday we had that day from four o'clock to eight o'clock he started posting on his instagram where he was going to be and then people showed up and it
Starting point is 00:54:16 started selling out his his page got bigger his following got bigger the restaurant was making more money so them other four restaurants that turned them down they like oh well you can get Wednesday the other restaurant was like all right you can get Friday so he would move the different restaurant every week every single day of the week it started with one for the first month he was killing it started with two then three then four then five now my man traveling around the country doing pop-up restaurants and all he need is a dead day he don't had to have no no he don't had to have no they got the they provide the infrastructure they provide the equipment everything is already he coming there bring his bring his food and go right in because his brand was his food
Starting point is 00:54:55 his brand was the fact that he wasn't stationary his brand was the fact that he came from nothing kicking from the house but he given such a good value and the food tastes so good but people from the hood resonate with him, right? They resonated with his story. He grew his following. He grew his tribe, basically, right? That's another thing. You got to grow a tribe.
Starting point is 00:55:14 You have a tribe. You have people that wait every single morning for you to post, but you've been able to do that by consistency. My man was consistent. He was consistently posting. He was consistently showing people where he was going to be. He was consistently making people. Number one.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yes. Cooking, right? But it was a hustle, and now it's a business. Now he got a multi-million dollar business, right? It's the same thing with it. me, I was hustling. I used to hustle in the gyms. I used to train people for $20 an hour, $30 an hour hustling from gym to gym. And I said, you know what? I got the blueprint for the gyms. They're in neighborhoods and they're giving services to people that don't necessarily
Starting point is 00:55:47 want the amenities in their gym. So let's find out what the people really want. So what we did is we just surveyed the community. Hey, what do y'all really want from this particular gym? And I said, listen, this is what the people in your neighborhood is saying that they want. And then it, they took off. I took that and took it back to the hood. Because at the end of the day, I can only resonate with people that honestly look like me and is from where I'm from and I'm a hustler. You know what I'm saying? But now we didn't turn it into entrepreneurship. That's how we're able to touch seven figures. That's how we're being able to help other people touch seven figures because you have to get out the hustle mentality of the day to day. And you got to be consistent
Starting point is 00:56:21 with what you want to do. And it starts with the content. Man, I love Instagram. I love Facebook. I love social media because now you can get in front of millions of people every single day. What is your best platform for brand Instagram and why is that? Because everybody is on their phone every single day for entertainment purposes. Some come for education, some see where they need to level up. So if you have a message and you have a story and you're consistent, people are going to adapt to that. Like for example, you got a nanosecond. You got two seconds to really capture people into your content.
Starting point is 00:56:54 So what I show people is how to hit them in the mouth in the first two to three seconds. Yeah, I used to mess up and say, hey, it's very. Van Taylor here, Mr. Go All In. I already lost them. They don't, that's three seconds already. I need to hit them in the mouth right now. Right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:57:07 You need to choke, ground body, neck, get all that attention. Because it's a battle for attention on social media. So, for anybody out there that's looking to put some type of infrastructure or, you know, learn about how your brand can become huge and bigger on a day-to-day basis. How do they get in contact with you? Oh, man. All they got to do is text me. A million dollars worth a game.

He was helping people outside of his job get their credit right and take it to the next level.
Starting point is 00:58:39 So he had a big following. He actually was working with a company that was an MLM company to where he was feeding them the sales, right? MLM companies is cool, but I said, you know what, bro, you need to build your own brand. So what happened was he got fired from his job. They actually fired him because he found out that they was helping him in credit repair.
Starting point is 00:58:55 So what we did was we got real consistent on social media about telling people about how he got fired from his job, right? But he was able to take a 800 credit score and be able to leverage his business to be able to grow and scale his business. So he started tracking people that wanted to fire their boss and people that did get fired and we helped him grow to six figures a month. He just hit his first 100K month last month, right? By being able to tell his story and show people, listen, I got fired from my job because

Like, it's family, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:10:14 I really love niggas, you know what I'm saying? You know, niggas was in the trenches together. We see this happen all the time. You know, niggas be poor together. and get this money and the money destroyed the relationship right

Starting point is 01:10:33 tricky but like you said it's always family and it's always about you know what I'm saying like this shit bigger than everybody's sitting right here you know what I'm saying you just got to understand that
Starting point is 01:10:43 you're playing it and the part you play in it and the role you play in it and respect the role that everybody else playing it you know what I'm saying longevity type of shit And one thing I want to say to all the youngans that's out there, man, that come up with your team.
Starting point is 01:10:57 And if everybody play a role, man, when y'all get the money and y'all had the disagreements and unless you're man on some straight bullshit because sometimes your people could be on some bullshit that can jeopardize shit and you got to let a nigga go. but if it's on some disagreement shit on some regular shit and we just don't see eye to eye and ain't no money ever going to make me and wallow not fuck with each other no never you know what I'm saying that's just that's just the reality of this shit because we fuck with each other when we didn't have no money now we got money we fuck with each other as kids
Starting point is 01:11:38 with my family now we got money and we don't see eye to eye we're going to stop fucking with each other that just saying that just to me that's not no real shit because at the end of the day I'll be the one to call and tap out listen because man listen we're on some bullshit man

Starting point is 01:13:12 So it's like, one thing about it, they're not going to take it easy on me and like you know y'all already know they get busy like i really get busy that's why i'd be feeling like it's so like it's such like a slap in the face when like i drop like the list or you know i do something like the list too when niggas be feeling like oh yeah well conway must have been writing for her what side broke that like you know because i really push my pen and they don't you know like they don't let up on me at all like I'll play some shit for a nigger and if it ain't hitting they'd be like, nah, that shit is horrible
Starting point is 01:13:46 or no, you need to go harder. But again, like, I wasn't no overnight success. I had a chance to actually sharpen my pen, actually, you know, really get into it, study music. You know what I'm saying? Like, I took a hip hop and context class in college. So, like, it gets easy. These bitches ain't fucking with me.
