Speaking of volatility, we want to talk about some shows that are not having the greatest time or shall we move forward?

Who are you talking about? What show you talking about?

What's the blueprint?

Having a long term running media Empire and show with Shot and Troy.

Well we can skip it positive places.

That's a lot of breakups happening to Troy. Do you have any marriage advice for those who may be going through a tough time.

Yeah, communicate openly.

Communication is the key, and I've been big on being present, uh, for for everyone in moments where you have allocated time. So if I've made a day and I've said I'm allocating to this, I'm dedicated to that, then my full presence is there in that moment.

But as far as like our shows, I.

Think communication is the key, mutual respect is key, and value add I think those those are three ooners that we've seen some people lack.

But that's something that you know, we've heard try to talk about a bunch, right.

We don't know how to effectively communicate with each other, whether it be in the streets, whether it be in business, whether it be on the team, and so it's a skill that is not taught, but it's a skill that needs to be learned. So if we can leave by demonstration, so be it.

I would say as far as breakups, it almost impossible that it ever works out.

There's always exceptions to the rule. Ninety percent of people.

When you look at music groups, when you look at podcasters, people that left, they never made more money than what they did when they were with the band.

The band never does better, migos, The band never does better separately than it does collectively.

You said, I just said, I said, you agree, just said that, not even sent.

So, because when you're leaving, you're looking at it from like what you're not getting or you could be a bigger star. It's never gonna be perfect, but the collective made you who you are. Your ego is going to drop you tremendously. Happens all the time. This is important lesson for everybody to understand. You're never gonna be happy. It's to be able to accept where you are.

It's always going to be harder to not be in that spot that you're in if you don't like it too.

That's the other part. I don't think this talked about enough.

Is like bring more value than if you want more value to be given to.

You, yeah, or just accept it like Dennis Rodman right accepted his role as a rebounder's a defensive player, never was a twenty point scorer, never led the league and assists never you know, but that's his role for the team. You leave the team, now you're putting your career at jeopardy. So I think it's important to understand your role for the team and accept it and be okay with it, because when you leave, nine times out of ten, you're going to be in a worse situation than you were previously.

Jagged Edge is.

Not the one twelfth now Drew Hill got six members?

Fat Fat Boys was never the same?

In peace?

Can I ask them to your point because what you're saying Rockefeller Records was never the same?

To the point of accepting your role inside of that acceptance, it needs to be a level of excellence inside of it, right, So like, if this is going to be my role, then I need to be exceptional at it. I can't be mediocre at it, Like I need to be exceptional at it. So that analogy were used with Robin Yes when he was on Detroit. He accepted that role, but he made it a challenge to say, you know, I'm going to be the best defender. I'm going to be

The thing that my role has mitigated me to be.

And most people don't do that. They'll say, all right, this is my role. Well, this is my role, this is what I got to do. Nah, be great at it. Be great at it because in the event that you do leave, and like you said, most of the times, not even said it probably won't work. But if you're excellent and you excel at the role that you had, you can take that role somewhere else. Now I'm probably not gonna have the same level of success most times, but you've excelled in an area, it's never going to

Not where you should be, so you leave to pursue your own personal thing.

But look at where you actually came from. It's actually America that you actually achieved the success that you did achieve, and that's because of the team work. So this is a story we can kind of just keep saying over and over again. It's going to keep happening because its human nature. Human nature is always going to be proud ego. It's always going to be somebody else in your ear. It's the story of Othello. There's always going to be whisperers in your ear that will so deceit, that will

And then it.

Changes the dynamic and now they start to be passive, aggressive, They start to act out of character. They do things like come late on purpose, a variety of different things that you see happening. And this is bigger than just shows, but it just happens in the workplace. It happens, and no matter how many times, no matter how many examples that you see, it's going to continue to happen because human nature, especially men, human nature will always.

Lead to breakups it just happens.

Unfortunately, And like I said, you would think that people would just learn from other people's success, like Yo, Nah, Rockefeller was never jay Z is still jay Z. But the vast majority are those people It didn't work out for them the same way it was when they were together.

You would think like, all right, let's use this as an example. No, it's not. It's gonna continue to happen.

And some people like, why are you still doing the show? I'm like, well, our show has been profitable from inception. I think the business models need to change. But if we look at Spotify over the last fiscal years, spotify profit margin is negative three point six percent. Operate margin is negative six point nine percent. Gross margin is only twenty four point nine and the ebit of margin is negative five point four nine four percent. Return on assets

And it happens like I read that, I read every comment. This happens with this show. We've we've we've have a partnership that works. We've had a platform, ian had expertise, We've come together. It's a back and forth dynamic. It's a ask questions, answers the questions. We add our commentary to the questions. It's been a successful formula here. We've done shows, we've done a world tour made money. This

To change somebody's Like, Yo, y'all changed.

I know y'all didn't get to hang around Diddy byle you still talking via O v T. I.

I'm like, I've been talking.

The same ship since then and I still ain't at puff, Like, what are you talking about?

Like what we didn't get it.

I didn't get initiated into Dojah's Illuminati. Like and also to even when doing more shows, if you most people are not illuminati.

Shot to those the album decent. It sounds like the funding out there.

But you know Sam smith Ian in his Illuminati, you know.

But now I stop doing that because they do that all the time all the time. We'll be at the NBA Finals and like, where's MG the mortgage guy. I don't know, I don't know where's that? Like everybody's not together all the time. Like I'm saying, like, stop doing that.

I think.

It happens if if you're not somewhere right and I'm there, the first thing you'll ask.

Like I could be with my probably with his baby. I don't know. They mean they see us together all.

The time, but stop doing that. It's unnecessary.

I told you before we were coming.

I did the podcast and this guy was like, man, I'm missing when you were Risha, I argued, I'm like, why.

A shotty you switch roles with the end think you're arguing that.

He can have another jacket.

Cool.

I'm so peaceful, drinking out little coconut water.

Yeah.

Cool, Because I told everybody like once I got done yelling in the Vegas two years ago, and y'all don't listen. Cool, I'm gonna let y'all deal with what I told you about coin base. Oh god, you don't know, all right?

Cool?

I feel your coin base negative profit margin of eighty two percent, negative operating margin of forty eight percent, negative e but the margin of fifty point eight percent.

FTX blows up and.

Here comes Larry Fink and Jamie Diamond at the same damn time, Like, let me pick up all these assets to run the shit to the moment the.

Same damn Tom And once again, this is the last thing I'll say about this as a business, because this is a business.

Lesson here.

It's only gonna work if everybody can put their egos aside, if everybody can accept their roles, and if everybody's eating, that's the only way it's gonna work. It's not gonna work if one of those things are missing out the equation, it's not gonna work. Everybody has to eat, everybody has to put their ego aside, and everybody has to accept their roles and everybody rolls are different, and you have

A Champ. Steve Curry would be Steve. Yeah.

So when you're in your business, accept that, be okay with it, and that's how everybody's going to accelerate. The moment that you don't accept it and the moment that you tried to fight against it, well, Kevin Durant left one of the greatest teams of all time. There's no need for that situation to happen. It was internal issues from a variety of different people inside of the organization.

Shout to Katie.

I'm not blaming him, but I'm just saying this is a This is a perfect example. You have literally one of the greatest teams ever assembled. There's no need to break it up. There's no need to pride and ego. Not accepting your roles, not accepting people that are higher levels than yourself. This is this. This goes back to canaan a. This goes back to the beginning of time.

That's a great example.

This goes back to the beginning of time, Like, I mean, we have to stop stop doing that because it's never going to be the same.

It's never going to be the same.

That's a great example.

Jordan Pole called him an expensive backpack. He deserved that plight for once that came out, I was like, what you expect that?

That was what I mean, That's what he said, right, Like when they got in that argument when Birst the Clippers, when he didn't pass on the ball and there was no repercussion. For he realized that the dynamics had changed, and this is what's.

Gonna be somewhere he could stay.

Yep, be mindful, ladies and gentlemen.
