I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.

Can I get a read? All right. I'm trying. Oh, wow. What's your name? Naya. Naya. Thanks to meet you.

Sorry, Brian, nice to meet you. As you can see, we kind of packed up for y'all. Yeah, I appreciate it. We are all student publications here, so many of us would like to possibly get where y'all are one day. This is calling. You don't, I don't want to get where you. Oh, for sure, we got you. So yeah.

Okay, you can take it away. All of y'all are you to meet? Yes. We've got journalism students, RTF, radio, television. radio, television, and film, and entertainment and recording music industry. Really? Y'all got a whole department for entertainment? Yes.

Yes, we do. Yes. Who's taking that to a floor? Anybody in the ERAM? Who's down in? Entertainment? Yeah, it's a whole school for it. It's actually the School of Communications.

And there's actual org dedicated to it because the ERM Alliance. Okay. Does it focus more on the production side or the business side? A little bit of both because we have students that kind of, you know, go in between. So I'm Kat Gray. I have the yearbook editor-in-chief. We have multiple student media outlets in here. We have TSU Studios.

We have T-SU Carroll. We have the T-HU Yearbook. I don't know if anybody here is from KTSU. KTSU over there. K-T-U over there. So that's our K-T-SU? Yes. OK.

Oh, y'all got a whole student radio here. Yeah. True. Mm-hmm. This is our newspaper office right here across. I'm the editor-in-chief over here. So you've got a whole department. You got a studio in our.

school communications where we film our shows the whole deal yep man congratulations that is really good to hear because we need a lot of us in media yeah let me I'll introduce ourselves my name is Chad Ubrey I am the co-founder of 85 South media along with Carlos Miller DC on Fly and you know the rest of the guys that you see Joseph Newman and then obviously if you guys watch the show 85 South Media created and produced the intellectual property of the 85 South show that you guys see in the podcast format, YouTube format. So basically, my role includes, my role includes obviously managing calendars, operations, producing show, launching more opportunities from 85 South media, from the apparel to introduce your new talent.

Yeah, just basically front-line and everything for the business that we built from the ground. up. And this is Ryan FAM. I'll let him introduce himself as well. I'm Ryan FAM. I'm the touring production manager for the live show component of 85 South. So Chad mentioned there's a few different business lines, but I am kind of in charge of operations for the touring side of the business. And that's Craig Gregg. He is our assistant director and he directs other content for us as well. So within 85 South Media, we not only produce the show that you all see there's different formats that we roll out more content we're introducing new content as well so Craig takes a lot of direction and control in

that space and capacity as well so I don't have anything really traditional to say I think it'd be easier if you guys had some questions and I'm sure you do good and it was really important for me to be able to do something like this I didn't go to historically black college I really wish I did and the school that I did go to the media department was not nearly as big as what you guys are representing right now. So that's excited community. I also think it's important for us to be involved in media because obviously we understand that media controls messaging.

And I honestly believe that media is your elevator to break through to a lot of opportunities you can create for yourselves, especially in a digital space, in the online space. And I can go on and on. So I'll let y'all get into that. But I'm really excited that you guys are. If it's in journalism, radio, any sort of broadcast man messaging is extremely important from tone to context to experience so when you guys when you see people that look like yourself we understand what it means to have a grandmother that made us to go to search every sunday we understand what it means to have maybe a single parent that is super strict and we're not afforded the same opportunity so we have to be guided or talk to and spoken to in a certain type of way so when you have somebody that that is controlling that message you can communicate a little more effectively to other people so I'll let y'all go from here so where y'all want to start and yeah if you

don't mind can you make sure you give me your name I want to make sure I address you properly and show you the proper respect and share what publication you're with for yes y'all free to ask questions just give your introduction for sure for sure the line for a book okay I'm the yearbook energy what's okay so Chad in the hot brand podcast you talked about being ahead of the curve when you guys were creating content like y'all were kind of first to do that so how do you stay constant with the internet being mostly content based right now yeah let me um let me answer two questions so being ahead of the curve i was speaking into the context of my business partner joseph newman who directs the show we had created a content company

which was some five six seven years ago prior to 85 south show what our job was and i'm sure you guys it's everywhere now you go you shoot an event or capture something you provide a recap this is before Instagram was a big deal so I'm probably showing the whole name but content we didn't understand that we were creating content what I was saying we were just shooting anything that we could shoot we didn't know that there was long form short form now you got 60 second there's all these mediums to put it on we were just capturing and pushing it out and what that did was it created experiences for us to to teach us how to actually do this the right way with some structure strategy etc etc so the second question was i'm sorry

to answer that not to go into what you asked was how are we staying ahead of the curve yeah like no well how are you um are you staying constant like with all the what you know with internet being so content basically everybody's doing everything for content now right just doing it just to do it right um i want to make sure so ask me that one more time so i can make sure i'm answering your question properly you're fine so how are you staying constant with the internet being a mostly constant based you know so are are you are you asking how are we maintaining eyeballs and viewership yes understood okay understood so our mentality when we created the 85 South Show we understood the importance of having a

platform right so prior to 85 South Show I used to work for Steve Harvey and this is Steve Harvey at Family Feud, the talk show. He was everywhere. He had like nine shows at the time. Me and Joe's role within that capacity was to manage his digital media, creative,

social, anything in the internet content space. But what we understood from what Steve was, you don't have to chase eyeballs if you're actually creating a space for people to come to. And that's what he's. had with radio. So he created an audience that touched some seven million people a week. And

when you're touching seven million people a week, all you have to do is feed them good content. So I don't know if I answered that properly, but our mentality was to reverse engineer. We don't have to go chase eyeballs. We'll create a platform for the eyeballs to come to us. If I could add to that too, I would say consistency, I think, is a big thing. Like in the beginning, it's, for me, it's crazy to see everything that 85 South has become outside. of just a podcast like we still say and reference the podcast a lot but we haven't even been in the studio for a while because it's morphed into so many different things but I think consistency is key like you know every Friday you're going to get a show right right you know that you can come

to 85 South Instagram and see multiple posts a day engaging posts and so I think that is a big thing to when it comes to staying relevant putting out and then it's it's understanding the platform in the mediums that you're pushing content toward. So we treat YouTube almost like a cartoon network or any other cable television. You know that on Friday you're going to get an episode no different than on Monday you're going to watch football. So we created tuning to some degree.

And then there's a level of consistency and pushing out content on our Instagram channel. So I know that was a long version, but I hope I answered that question. Put everything in perspective Yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure.

Who's next? Who's next? What's up? What's up? My name is Brandon. What's up? Brandon. What's up, Brandon?

What's up, Brandon? I'm the previous education. Okay. I just want to know what some of you guys' challenges on. I know that's super broad, and I'm sure you guys have a lot. Yeah. Traveling is one. Hey, yeah.

Credit content is another. Yeah, yeah. Just some of the challenges you guys have and how Listen, any challenge that you have, we have it, it just costs way more for us. That's it. We have overhead. I got payroll. I got legal.

I got lawyers. People don't want to be hired. We deal with different venues that we walk into. There's different environments. The Midwest is different than the East Coast. So if you have specific questions, I think I can answer it a little bit better for you. But I wake up with headaches. So that's a really broad question.

What's a much enjoyable part of the job? Freedom. Freedom. And there's nothing wrong. This is not to say that nobody should desire to go, you know, get a job or any of those of those things. I think freedom comes with enjoying what you do. So I've had jobs that I enjoyed as well.

But the freedom to create, control, own the things that we do. If we decide we want to take a left turn, we take a left turn. And there's not too many people that. and tell us any different because we've created we've vertically integrated the company we don't outsource anything everything is done internally so that's what I appreciate I noticed that you guys have like like commercials right yeah how did that come about that comes from me and Ryan's experience and Joe's experience working with Steve again so there's what they call ad bias or radio by

right and since we're doing at the time podcasting was considered non-traditional mediums but you're still trying to write the rules on how you do advertising but advertising is simple if you have eyeballs people want to get in front eyeballs and that's it so people saw that we created a platform we have X amount of followers the content is obviously engaging because the viewership is consistent every single single week. So, you know, the exchange is, there's a dollar exchange for eyeballs being in front eyeballs. And then what we do when we talk to advertisers is we say, hey, we're cool to do whatever you want to do, but you have to play within our framework if you want to get in front

of our eyeballs. So we're not just going to read some old script that you're asking us to read. We know how to talk to our people better than you do. So I hope that answer. For sure. Yes, ma'am. I actually asked you the question. What's your name? Raven Williams. Raven Williams? Okay. And what do you do?

What do you do? I'm a graduate student here. Okay. What are you studying? Hold on. Cool. Okay. First, for the show,

how is it being on the road with the guys? Like, I just, because being a fan of the show, like, how does those dynamic work being also, like, friends with them, but also making the production is always being a teacher hero? Yeah. I'm going to let Ryan answer that. I think maybe I have a little bit of a unique perspective because I was there in the beginning of 85 South and then I moved to LA and then they kind of brought me back on within the last few months so I'm kind of like coming at it as a little bit of an outsider I mean the friendship and I think that is honestly what drives what makes the show so good you know but the three of them they are they genuinely love and respect and support each other.

And then that, because they're, we all work in a talent-driven business. And so you kind of take your cues from the talent, and that trickles down to, you know, the squad that we have that goes on the road and that travels. And I think Chad has done a really good job of assembling people who, yes, we can, you know,

be friends. We can, we do spend a lot of time together on the road, we've been to cities all over the country, but we still are capable of doing good business. Like, I've been friends with Chad for a long time now. I interned at a company, and it was, like, one of his first jobs, and I interned there. So we've been friends for a long time now, and so I think, you know, everybody kind of takes their cues from the three guys in terms of, all right, let's have a good time. We all, like Chad said, about freedom.

None of us has to wake up at a certain time. There's no dress code. We don't have to report anywhere. So we can still have fun, but we're also, you know, about the business. And you guys most of you guys meet each other at the friendships and like working with Steve Harvey. What like how did you ask you to those points? Being like undergrad and like friendships, that's a lot of like you don't just wait up one day.

No, you don't. So I explain my experience, which I don't recommend. And I say that because I didn't have the same. resources that's all that and it's not a it's not a solid story but you want to none of us wants to do more work than we have to do I did I OD on the opportunity that was in front of me so I was going to school in Jacksonville Florida I went to Jackson University in college and there's very limited resources for the things that we want to do it got things that you guys are

studying for in small-time Jacksonville so So I knew that I wanted to be in the creative, entertainment, digital space, but I knew that Jacksonville didn't offer that. So I was on LinkedIn. I don't even know if people still get on LinkedIn. I don't even have a name. I don't even know if I'm not even active anymore. Okay, well, good to know. Because I hate social media.

But I had to get on LinkedIn to figure out who were some players in the Atlanta space, because I knew that was the closest place to me. I went to high school in Atlanta. So I reached out to, like, the CEOs or what seemed like people of power that could hire you or make some decisions. There was a company called Liquid Soul Media. This was, damn there, eight years ago, reached out to one of their bosses on some, like,

hey, man, I'll do whatever it takes. Not really recognizing what I was putting out there because you're so hungry for an opportunity. Not even necessarily recognizing my own value, right? So reached out to him. Got some access, got on the phone a couple times. And I basically had to do like free work for like three, four, five, six months. I do not recommend that because we still have bills to pay.

So I had to make like decisions that are not the best decisions. Not that I was selling dope and nothing like that. But I'm like, shit, I'm at this job. Can I? Sorry. I'm at this job that's trying to make ends meet. I had to move back in my mom's crib and stay in the basement. you know these are sacrifices that I had to make that I don't necessarily again recommend

to y'all because y'all have resources and can build a resume a different sort of way but these are the things that I did so I worked there and I basically like my job the first day there after six months of free work was to like carry boxes and carry coffee and take notes I did nothing else I thought I was the smartest person in the world I couldn't wait to get into this job that's going to be so cool but my job was to sit on conference calls and take notes. I did that for like a year or carry bags or do whatever. And then the person that I was, I recognized that social media was an emerging thing at the time. We didn't have any social media opportunities. So I learned to pick up a camera on my own. I picked up social media on my own, started learning how to edit on my own so that I could provide

extra value to these people. That allowed me to be there at this job, I want to say, for like two years, until they downsized. During that downsizing me and my partner Joe started a content company that I was telling you about in between that time when I had downside so I since he got fired and I was out of work for about eight months in the meantime me and Joe was shooting for anybody that would give us a hundred dollars $150 to make it work right and again I do not suggest that you do these things I'm telling you what I have to do so I did that but all that time you're learning how to shoot how to edit headlines, even learning how to email. A lot of people do that probably. But now when you are

front facing for your company, you have to do these things. It's contingent on you getting a paycheck. So I had to do these things for eight months. While that was happening, Steve at the time was launching a new business and that business happened to need content. Joe was working for the radio station or maybe the production. One of the companies that Steve had at the time, he was like, hey, I got a business partner that's really smart give him a chance and she really just this lady gave me a chance and I just did whatever I could to survive and keep showing I could provide more value if it was learning I'm really asking if I knew how to build websites and I was like hey yeah and then I went on YouTube that night to learn how to build the website you know and I'm sure all of y'all have done

those things but again we're talking about eight years ago when again digital media is it's miles apart from where it was eight years ago so the answer to question is I just kind of thugged my way through and just deal what I had to do to find the way what I would tell all of y'all because people ask me this question all the time what I would do is this if you can find a job find some way to put some money in your pocket legally get you some money in your pocket first so that you don't have to make brash decisions or have to make desperate decisions because it's okay to not I notice it's not sound cool to hear because Instagram says otherwise from most of y'all going to graduate at 21 22

years old it's okay to be broke from 22 to like 27 26 because you're trying to figure it out because you're going to be sacrificing what you got to say and when i say broke you're paying your bills you're not doing none sex you're not going on trips or spending 150 dollars at the bar i'm not saying broke where you live at homeless don't tell you literally put some money in your pocket because your money can fund your opportunities can fund your dreams if you put some money in your pocket you save you some money go buy you that camera that's going to put you in the space you're being or it can afford you lunch with the mentor, the person that can hire you that you're looking to have hire you, I've made decisions based on not having really too much opportunity and resources.

So that's how I got in. Again, that's not like the perfect traditional way to do it, but, you know, and Joe kind of has the same story, just kind of thugging his way through. I don't like, what do they call it when you, oh, you got to tell you that. For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married his. himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse.

Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man? And in thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

I don't like the idea that some of these companies, they make kids work for free and they use you and abuse you and they go find some. somebody else that would do it. But that's what I had to do to get in. So I don't know if they answer your question. Okay. Aaron? What's up? So my name is Aaron Harrison. I am the head of operations for homecoming and also host on K on T-SU. So my question is what does the day typically look like leading up to a show in regards to the production? Good question, very

good question. And Ryan's the perfect person in today. Because that's what we hired him to do. Gotcha. But when I was doing it, a day, so you have what's called pre-production. I'm sure you know that. Right. So pre-production is, pre-production for us may start, in a perfect world, it will start four weeks out because we have travel, including what we do. So you're doing everything from logistics to book and flights to manage an hotel travel,

calendars and schedule. And then leading up to the week. week of the show we're doing production calls with the house so you're talking about your sound your audio your video you're getting your camera plots you're getting your stage plots we have merchandise that we do so we're figuring out where merchandise needs to be set up and then we're dotting all of our eyes and crossing all of our teas leading into the show so if there's any things we're going to if there's any segments we're going to introduce if we're going if we're going to have any people that would come out from out of the audience, we're getting

our legal, our NDAs together, and then the actual day of show, the production team comes in the day before so that they can be settled and clear mind, and then we have what's, some people call it it an it, some people call it run show, that's going, that's, that's, that's hour by hour telling us where every single person is going to be what their roles and responsibilities are and what's happening leading up to the actual show. start time so you're talking about loading you're talking about sound check you're talking about your camera plots and everything until you know the actual show executes so I'm sure it's just as busy as yours

you're kind of similar not as much oh yeah again I'm telling everything y'all are doing man I will say this because I'm hearing like nothing we're doing is magical what we're doing is taking us very small brick and building on top of that brick. But what y'all are doing is y'all have the bricks already. So, like, I'm sure if I looked at your running show, if I looked at your production

calendar or production schedule, I'm telling you, the only difference is ours just costs more. Or we spend more money and we pay more people. That's really it. You know, but you have all the... I'm sure you can do a show with us and, like, not...

We can hire you as a PA or something like that a production coordinator and you wouldn't be you wouldn't be losing your mind right right yeah any other questions oh I'm sorry he asked he asked oh I said what does a gay typically look like leading up to a show like in regards to production Ryan has way more calls and emails and I forgot about all that stuff that he has to do too so I didn't want to I didn't want to I didn't want to try to miss anything No, I mean, I think Chad did a good job. It's really, it's not rocket science.

I tell people that all the time. We really, you have the show that you start with, and we just work backwards. We know that we have either one or two shows at night, and then our job is just to make sure that the venues have everything that we need from a production standpoint. This is how we're going to shoot it. This is the audio we're going to record. These are the segments that we might do.

And then, yeah, we just kind of back it out, all right, if we want the band, if we want certain band members here, or we want this look for the show, what do we need to make it happen? I mean, our job is really, like I said, to make, it's a talent-driven business. So everything that we do is just how do we have, ensure that the show runs smoothly and that they have everything that they need to be successful. That's always kind of at the back of my mind. And the same thing, like with Big Doe. What's up, everybody? With, we're missing a chip. What's up, man?

What was your name one time ago? Just Aaron. What's your name? Yes, sir. You're the production manager, you said? Operatorian manager? Yes. We're all caught.

Let me add this, too. I don't want you to think what we do is, like, a walking part. Right. By any stress, right? The way you should look at production is as if you are a coach, right? And what coaches do prior to, if y'all play ball, or any sort of sport. Prior to the game,

there's already an understanding of how they want to attack his game. Offense and defense, right? So they're putting people in position to put the team in the best position to win the game. So a coach is not just not calling plays the day of. He's been

calling plays for damn a week. If it's football, right? And that started on that Monday leading up to that show. So just imagine that your game is the actual execution of the show. And you're calling plays and running through practice and drills. And good coaches, they dissect the quarterbacks.

They got their own small operation they're running. The offensive line is running their own operation. The defense got a whole operation. But when everything comes together, it's one big operation. But it's a bunch of small operations that's driving to the big operation. So that's how we attack production. So there's no mistakes. There's no second guessing.

And if something does go wrong, at least you know where your plan is to bring it back to the plan. I would say when it does go wrong too, because, you know, I've been on a lot of sets, you know, done a lot of shows with these guys now. Something will go wrong. So I think as the, you know, you're in charge of production. It's your job to have the best plan of attack in place and to have thought through what are some potential things that could go wrong. because I promise you it will like production honestly is putting out fires you know you have your planning and you think through as much as you can but there's always going to be something that comes

up that that you didn't think about so it's about putting the right people in place and you having the you know you thinking about everything in advance to try to eliminate as much as you can but it's always going to be something that goes wrong. Before we take any more questions, Joe, if you don't mind introducing yourself, I'm a contractor, the year, but editor-in-chief, I'm also a moderator for this conference. Okay. My name is Joe Newman. I'm the co-creator, director, editor, digital marketing person.

Sell tickets, or not. I run the Twitter, half the Instagram, Facebook. Yeah, that's funny. Awesome. Happy to be here. Tasha. And any more questions? Tasha.

My name is Tasha Pallard. I am the news editor for the TSU Herald, but I'm also a visual performing art student. I act. I'm an older student because I'm a military veteran. Right. So this is like my third career. Old and relative. Yes.

Especially creative. Right, right. So this is new for me, but you spoke about working in Jacksonville, does surround a lot of military installations. installations, I was homeless for a little while because I stepped out on my dream to start my company in entertainment. And the biggest thing I ran into was that I didn't have opportunities and there weren't people that were willing to open their doors to me to allow me to get in and be successful. So my question to you guys is how was you, how were you manipulating your brand to give military veterans with media experience the opportunities to work with you?

How are you formulating your brand? so to speak right to give military veterans the opportunities to work with you and gain experience in the industry yeah uh we got to get some more money for you but to not be saying we do have plans to expand and grow in operation but we're still working on the very uh nucleus of what this is because it's still growing and we're still finding our way in what we're doing because we're you think about business growth it's business growth trajectory is usually like this sort of but ours is kind of like this you know and so we're still figuring out the pieces how to settle them on there's a totally piece there's a torn aspect

of the production aspect there's an apparel aspect of going to introduce to town all so the answer to your question is we would like to offer open our doors for all those opportunities but it has to also make sense for us that's a good question we want to hire young people that people that need second and third chances we want to do all those things it's just we haven't made good yet um jela fields um really like freelancing okay i just beat the camera like two three years ago um but i've got two questions what does an average project time now look like I guess like once you record like how fast do you get back out and then when you are recording a

show is there like a story you want to tell every time or do y'all just like freedom like do a day you're talking about like a podcast or a live show for the live show so the live show I do want every week so I kind of have to create my own workflow so usually we record show on Friday or Saturday or Thursday and so what I'll do is I'll take two days to download the files from the show and Craig actually showed me put me on to creating proxy files so when I'm editing I'm not editing in a high quality file so it'll take day day and a half two days depending on how many

camera angles I have and how active I am watching the laptop and you know I'm at home and there's all these distractions and stuff so it takes about two days to just get the files into the into Final Cut I use Final Cut Pro to edit and get them a proxy and then I lined them all up using the audio file as like the main source to get everything frame by frame lined up and then it might take two days to create a line cut just deciding which angles that tell the story the best So what we do is, you know, my philosophy is, you know, I trust those guys and I, I, everything that comes out of their mouth, I support.

And, you know, if that wasn't the case, I probably wouldn't want to do this. So I let them do what they want to do, and it's my job to, me and Craig's job, to tell the story visually. So, D.C. is running off to the corner of the stage, dancing or something, don't want to miss that. So it's our job to figure out ways to make sure that the story of, them existing, telling their story, happened. So it takes about five to seven days, depending on how motivated I am, how much coffee and other stimuli I have to work with.

You know what I'm saying? So I don't think it's friendly, it takes. Yeah, I know, but I'm talking about me. I keep the friend of this with me. But yeah, why don't we? For perspective, first, for perspective, too, too like what Joe does is actually pretty amazing like a one hour show to put out a show every week you know if you watch a standard broadcast show that is a variety show and it's a big production

or whatever like with Steve you would have a team of 10 to 15 people working on a one hour episode for like two months so to put out a show a week is actually pretty incredible thank you family. Hi guys, I am from KTSU 2, the Student Room Radio. I'm also co-host with TSU today and I'm also marketing, student marketing chair for this

homecoming as well, and I just wanted to ask what were the key components of marketing that really launched 85 seconds. I think I think on to come to marketing, I think that we have is D.C. are flying and Carlos

familiar to the content, the reports that come out of my mouth. So once again, like, he was already a superstar and already had the skill set to be viral from Vine. You know, he already had that capability. So when me and Chad got with him, he was doing rationing people, me, and he went with him and interviewed him. And we understood he had a great talent.

So I mean, I don't put any credit on algorithms or SEO or any of that type of stuff because, you know, I understand all that type of stuff, how to, you know, get the biggest pop out of, you know, tags and, um, and, um, what's it called? The, you know, the bio that you put in your content and how all that adds. But DC and Carlos and the other talent is really the ones who, um, who make it go. So I really just, that's, that's why I think we've separated ourselves from anybody else. It's just really believing in it. And trying to, another thing is, the internet gives us the capability to put any type of content out there for anybody to see.

You know, it could be, you know, on all different spectrums of quality. So what we really wanted to focus on is making sure that our quality is the highest level. And so once we got that high power talent, and then we put the energy into it to make sure that we present them in the most quality form, that's really the best thing. but marketing is such a marketing there's a lot that goes into to marketing and talk about from like the small technical side how we sell tickets or how we create views or you know how we engage with other brands there's a lot that goes into that but i the main reason i think why we're so successful is because we focus on the quality product and we have exceptional talent i will say this looking back it's much easier to look back now obviously when we first

started, I remember when we was in the studio and just first started doing a YouTube episode. There was a time that we would just take that hour-long episode and cut as many clips as we could because we understood what, you know, the shareability and engagement and what that does for you. From a strategy side, again, this is looking back, we were just doing it, just hustling because that's what we did for Steve. But looking back, imagine when you see a funny clip online, how many people you share that to that 60 seconds.

seconds. Right. And then, you know, then that person will share it to another four or five people. So you've got Losing, fly cutting up and Chico cutting up in Clayton for a whole hour, there's tons of clips in there. As I look back on our page, if you dive really deep, you just see a bunch of those clips and you just give them time to do what they do because the algorithm does say the more that you engage with it from likes to comments and shares, the more they're going to push

it to the top because they want eyeballs just as much as we want those albums. So comedy content, shareable content, cutting that big pie down small slices and had people asking, you know, what is this, following the page, looking for more, and we had plenty more to give to them. But that's looking back. It ain't like, we had an idea. I don't want to act like we're some Einstein's. I mean, we pretty good at what we do.

I mean, we did it for Steve, but it's the talent, I mean, speaks for itself. So. We're going to allow about two to three more questions before wrapping it up. I have a question. Who's up? Who, nice saying, I'm the hero editor, chief. Okay. Who inspired y'all to get into this industry to begin with?

Or who continues to inspire you? I got in this industry through Craigslist. Oh, okay. Okay. I got an internship at BT through Craigslist in LA. And through that internship, I was able to connect with people, who worked for Steve Harvey and also people who work for Tyler Perry in Atlanta. So after they didn't want to give me a job at BET, I moved back to Atlanta, which was safer,

my family was there. And I worked with Tyler Perry and I worked with Steve Harvey. For me personally, I had an, there was one summer where I had an option to work for Tyler Perry, continue to work for Tyler Perry, I worked for Steve Harvey, and I chose Steve Harvey just because, you know, I like comedy. So he was basically, and he's more of a comedy person in Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry makes movies and I learned a lot from working there but but Steve Harvey was just a little bit cooler and I liked his his his comedy

style as opposed to Tyler Perry's comedy style so I think he was a big motivator and when you around Steve he's a he's a very unique special like person it's hard to describe because he's like so cool he works so hard he's so funny he likes all this amazing music so for me he's one of the people that inspired me because I wanted to show I wanted to do for our generation what Steve had done like bridge the gap so he's a big inspiration to me even be I mean he fired us before he went and met Donald Trump so you know we're working we're making them look fly you know they fired us and he went to start doing Donald

Trump so we were working on I was working on his life legacy making his legacy pop and so he's his my inspiration I always mine was as deep as that I remember in college and so nothing I'm from New Orleans Louisiana and so my family my family stretches from New Orleans and Baton Rouge so all I see is like people that work in factories principals and police officers right and there's nothing wrong with those jobs Right. I was just not, it's not anything that I had.

Doesn't wrong job. Can't meet you. Yeah. You're saying a lot. It just, it didn't, it didn't touch me, right? It didn't pull me, is what I'm saying. I just knew I wanted something different. I was in college and I was watching this show that is now done with called Entourage.

And I remember watching Ari Gold and I was like, oh shit, people get paid to do this? Is this real? Right. Right? Yeah. The closest thing to entourage to me was Atlanta. was Atlanta. So that's how, and you see these black entrepreneurs, these black CEOs, and it's not just in film and entertainment. There's black people running Delta. There's black

people running AT&T. There's black people create businesses, barbershops, all this sort of stuff. And like, not just doing these things, but are like making decisions in politics and policy. And this black police chiefs, that is what inspired me. And I'm like, damn, I ain't even know that we could live like this. Because I ain't never seen it before. You see, You see black cities, but like, we're just participants in that city. Whereas in Atlanta, they are from entertainment to policy to anything in between, black people have a very large stake in how that city moves and maintains. So I saw an entourage, I wanted to find my version of entourage and I saw that in Atlanta.

That's what kept me in his body. And we're trying to find my way in that space. We'll take two more questions just too. I'm sure we all know, can you like go into details about how important personal relationships are in this type of business? Yes, I'll start. Personal relationships, let me back up. The way I approach personal relationships is this, is that I try to give more than I can ever ask for it. And I feel like if you give people love, respect,

integrity, honesty, all those sort of things that our moms gave us, then you're usually gonna put yourself in a good position to where you ain't gotta be looking over your shoulder or try to finesse some people or try to outstratize people. If you're always giving,

and that can be from a physical, if you're just offering something that can be paying for lunch, I don't know what it is. But if you're always given, the more of those seeds that you sow, they usually come back for you. When me and Joe created, the first business we had that was a content company, we always over, probably gave more to anybody, could give us at the time that we was at. Because you learn that your only, your currency is not always cash. It can be a lot of things.

Some people's currency is respect. Some people, your currency is time, respecting their time. You don't know what it is, right? But we've made sure that we were always kind of in tune. with people because again our show is not rocket science our company's not rocket science it's people our headaches are our headaches and the things that drive this company is way more about the people than it is about the money it is about illegal and it is about all those other things that can get wrapped up in

when you're watching somebody like Gary V on the internet trying to inspire you if you don't invest in people then you go and fall off somewhere so to answer your question the importance of relationships I think comes from it's like to me it's the most important thing people make all this stuff work until robots take over yeah so so I started working at Steve Harvey through the internship what happened was my internship coordinator her brother was a production coordinator I don't know if you guys know a production coordinator is but production coordinator is like the person who hires everybody on the set

kind of like below the line like underneath executive producer so he hires the PA's so I was a PA the day player which means like I could come in every day I get to take out the trash make copies and I ask time come back tomorrow please and they'd be like yeah you can come back tomorrow I was able to get into that environment she talked about opportunity that's that's how I was able to squeeze into that opportunity through Craigslist and then the my internship coordinator's brother so that's relationship Right, that's like, that's a real relationship.

And then, so Chad moved to Atlanta. I knew Chad from Jacksonville University, a white college, not HBCU, so we got real reason there. But, so I met Chad, brought Chad in. There's another, you know, relationship into the Steve Harvey camp. Chad brought Ryan Pham into the Steve Harvey camp, so, you know, he works with us now.

So it was all, you know, that's all a relationship. Craig. Craig. Craig, me and Chad, the way Chad got on is we used to do these date videos called Low Catch of Love on Steve Harvey. So Steve will talk to these people and then they go on the date. Like the lady would choose the three guys that go on the date on the weekend. We got Chad in the game helping me shoot the videos.

And then when we were shooting one of the videos, Craig was one of the guys who was on the date. Oh! A girl didn't like them, she was like, no, I'm okay. I don't remember what happened. But Craig, you know, we stuck around, you know, was the homing, was just cool, you know, it wasn't nothing. And then, you know, he had those camera skills, and we would, you know, hustle up jobs with the first company, Chad talked about, and we stayed in contact.

Now he's, you know, the assistant director on 85 South Show. Relationships. Yeah, so it's all relationships. But that's the practical, you know, story of, yeah, just being cool with people. There's not being no asshole, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, over time, people are like, man, you know, I don't even, it's like, Sometimes, even if people have a certain skill set that you need or you want, you don't even want to be around that person. Especially when you're a boss and you can make a decision, do I want to be around this person or not.

So relationships is very important. It's just like, you know, try to be cool. In this business, you spend so much time around each other that a lot of times, like, the conversation around hiring, it really just revolves around, do I like that person? Because there's a million qualified applicants. Let me say this, our guitar player is Craig's brother. So that's another relationship. It's all like that. It's pretty much more like that.

You can find qualified people to do any job at your company. It's really about like how well are we going to get along outside of work. And you don't always have to have a friendship outside of work. I think we do spend a lot of time outside of work. But yes, do I want to spend time with this person for 20 hours? for 20 hours a day sometimes when you're on a set yeah yeah speaking of relationships Carlos Miller when I was 17 years old being Carlos worked in the middle of the mall no comedian this is Carlos Miller moving to Marrietta

Georgia just to get out of Mississippi yeah right we worked in the middle of the mall selling cell phone he had no idea that I had the town that I had and I had no idea he was funny he was the funniest person within our five-person radius That's what we was in this little, I don't even know if they do kiosk anymore in the morning. Okay, so, so this is not even, it's not even, it's not just Lowe's, Clayton English, worked in the same kiosk with me in Lowe's, selling cell phone playing to people. I go to college, I mean, I was coming home for the summer, Lowe stayed, he was five years old and he was like, my big brother, Big cousin, what he will call?

He always stayed in touch. He called me more than I called him because I was off trying to play ball, chase of women. You know what we're doing with 19. Lois is making sure I'm straight, not doing that stupid. I'm like, bro, I'm coming home for a month.

I need a job. He helped me find a job with some sporting good story. Dicks. Dick, sporting goods. And Sticks, smart good story. So we stayed in touch. So I remember a couple years later,

he called me like, man, I think I'm going to do comedy. Man, you always been funny. Of course, I'm thinking he's going to do stand-up. I look on TV, he's on some show on BT, not while I'm not yet, just like some VET last comic, last comic standing, comic, all these, right, he's just been thugging his way, hustling his way through.

I get back, I have the job with the marketing agency I was telling you about, fast forward I'm at Liquid So, I'm not Little So that Steve Harvey. The joke was, the way 85 started was, the joke was that the office environment was so funny that we should have a show, because I'd be arguing with. Joe, Joe, we argued with him and all the other five staff members we had. Just silly stuff when you ain't got nothing else to do. So I'm like, they was like, man, I need a radio show. I'm like, bro, we're not that funny.

I know somebody that's funny. Carlos Miller. It was the 90s to the hip-hop. Like that also played. Right. So we wanted to start a radio show that Los was going to host as like a Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon radio show. We went and pitched that radio show that every single media.

outlet that we could or somebody that would pick up our show within the Atlanta city radio nobody would pick it up so then we was like well man let's do internet radio we didn't really know what that was and then Lowe came in with them like well shit let's do a podcast and we was like what's the podcast so that's how that started through relationships and then so Joe was like well shit let's shoot it we went and found creative added the music that's how the show created it's not like we sat around plotting on some genius stuff we took our relationships and continued to build on top of that brick and built a business around it. But we knew that it was talent because it was real

relationships. I've known Joe since I was 18. I've known since I was 18. Ryan since I was 21. All these people I've known for five, six, seven plus years. These are my real friends that I just happen to make money with, you know. Which goes to show like with y'all, if y'all are, you know, a lot of people come to us and ask for opportunities. The opportunity may not be here yet for you. What I would do is go build with your people, why the money does not matter. If there's a model in here, you should be shooting with somebody. If there's a voiceover recording artist, you should be with an engineer this in here. If you are a photographer, I'm not, I'm sorry, you're a producer, you should be with a director.

If you're a writer, you should be with an actor. All of y'all have way more resources than me and Joe had, I promise you. Joe actually understood production. He had to teach me production and be patient with me. We just knew we wanted to hustle and figure it out. y'all got some 15 to 20 y'all of people that are obviously passionate very talented and know what the hell y'all want to do i didn't know what i want to do at 22 thank god for his patience but that's off the relationship so like y'all have all the resources to build and create when i said earlier it's okay to be broke from like 22 and 25 when i'm telling you is you can go chase all that stuff that's going to be here for a very long time when you can focus with your people build for five years and watch what happens 85 south media and legally I think four or five years old and we went from absolutely nothing like we

started this with a couple dollars and we're doing sold-out shows every single city we go there's not a scene we've been to that has not sold out we're doing a million we're doing a million views in week some cable television shows ain't doing that there's people that are pitching shows and putting big production budgets into the stuff that we do that they can't match and they can't figure out how but we see stay down. I can tell you the Saturdays that me and Joe was up trying to figure us up. I can tell you the times we went to a hole-in-the-wall comedy club with Loweck. It was just shooting. We didn't know what we were shooting. There were times we'd get on the road with Lowe's to go

pick up a check and the check wasn't even there. But we rode all the way to Alabama whatever city to do that because these are your people that you're down with where the money don't even matter right now. You know? So relationship is a very important. All right. One last question. The final question. I mean, what's up? What's up? A member of the TSU Herald. I said photographer.

So, uh, Chad. You said photographer? Yes, sir. Photographer for the TSU sports. No doubt. No doubt. Uh, Chad, you spoke on using LinkedIn early on in your profession.

And Joe, you spoke on using Craig's List. Can you talk about, how did you, what was your social media presence early on? Because it's hard to find your, hard to find your because you know your identity yeah but it's kind of hard to find your identity early on we have such a small right phase to start to talk about your presence that's a really really good question i'm gonna tell you how i did any single social media platform on joe had to teach me how to do it that's how much i hate the social media i'm dead serious with

twitter to twitter instagram snapchat i don't know instagram you're all instagram you're Y'all get on Instagram. I'm like, for real? Yeah, I get on there. So, Joe's educated me on social media. That's number one. Number two is, I know, I think I understand what you're asking. How do I build a brand on digital media

where people can take me serious and want to do business with me, right? This is my approach. None of that stuff matters. Create work. Because your work is a resume. I could say, I can go out there and go take a bunch of pictures in front of of a car and I could take a bunch of pictures on set and be like yeah we out here working but when it's time to ask you what's your work is I ain't got shit to say or I can say hey

bro you ever heard the 85 South show and it's a million questions from now or you ever heard Steve Harvey and the work speaks for itself now the question there becomes what is the what is the purpose if you wanted to position yourself in that way what are you trying to do with this position are you trying to find yourself a job then that goes back to the work Or you're just looking for a bunch of followers, which is cool. What do you want a bunch of followers for? Do you have that answer? Oh, you're asking me.

Yeah. Being a sports photographer, my goal is to be on the NBA floor. That's been my dream since a kid. But once I get that position, that will help me gain followers to open up the doors for more things like doing personal shoots, doing personal shoots for athletes, which is something that I follow. A major influence for me is Andrew Bernstein.

He does a lot of work for the Los Angeles Lakers. So he does a lot of personal shoots for them. So that's an inspiration. So, so many followers in that way. With my work, not necessarily for who I am or antics or things like. Good, so that's a good answer. So you remember when I said early, you got all these people around you?

You should be shooting. all the ball players right now. Sure. Right? And it needs to look. Okay, you are. And it needs to be okay. He's good.

I believe it. I believe. And it needs to look like whatever the work that you want to be hired for on top of it. Exactly. Right? So it's one thing to go shoot it,

but if it don't match the Nike campaign or what the legors are doing, you ain't there yet. And that's okay. You keep working until you get there. And that's okay. And then you're working, I promise you, your work is going to speak for yourself. There, no, I had to introduce 85 South Show to every single person in the world at one point. Nobody knew what that was.

But eventually, the pendulum, if you're doing good work consistently, the pendulum eventually swings. How are you? 20 years old. Bro, you got a long time. There's 50-year-old, 60-year-old photographers that have been doing this for a very amount of time. Joe's been doing what he's doing for 10 plus years. I've been doing what I've been doing for a very long time. has been doing comedy for 12 years he's just now getting in love we think he

deserved and we've been knowing how funny he is for God knows how long so consistency because a lot of people want to do what you want to do but a lot of people ain't gonna be doing that 25 even less gonna be doing that 30 which goes back to it don't worry about no money don't worry about all the extra stuff link with your people and just do the work and stay consistent Thank you. All right gentlemen, thank you for taking the time out to talk to everybody and answer our questions. So would that be said, we're just going to go ahead.

Let's give a head clap. Thank you. We would definitely like to get a picture with all of us if y'all would like. Can I see what right now? Alright, so the last year we did, it was an 8th year. You went out to shoot a Vista? Yes. You want to shoot with it tomorrow?

Yes, I do. No. Matter of fact, I'm going to take you a number. I can give you a number. Oh, come on. Why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient. Still using yesterday's tech, upgrade to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon,
