What's up. Family, it's your girl to meeke A D. Mallory, it's your boy, my son in the general, and we are your host of street politicians, the place where the streets and politics meets. Lord, have mercy. I am tired. I just want you to know that I sleepy every day since we've had the last several weeks of daylight savings. My body is just it didn't it didn't work. It just sneaking. It'd be sneaking up daylight savings, just sneaking up.
Or I didn't even realize it. The only reason I realized, women know, it's that that I never changed the time of my car from the last daylight savings. So now that was right. So I was like, I'm looking, I'm like, wait this time, I mean this time I'm supposed to be And I was like, it's working. Is matched my phone? Something wrong? So you was running around on you was looking at it knowing that it was an hour back
exactly it was our earlier. So I was like, no, it should have been an hour back because then we go forward quickly. Oh so you're that was a long time ago, my son. I'm I'm like, okay, I guess. So that's how I found out. Shout out to camera man. But I feel like the last several weeks, I know something happened where I didn't get my full sleep because you know, I need four extra hours just to cover if I lose one hour because I loved a bed, that's my my bad. You know what, I can do
anything from my bed. Let me just be clear. I have planned some of the most historic occasions in American history from my bed and lindas our sword, our partner. Until freedom is able to do the same. We can stay in our pajamas for the whole day and have an event completely planned or a whatever campaign and people can't touch us. I mean, listen, that's the skill set. I can't do it because I feel like if I'm in the bed, I'm losing. I'm missing out on something.
I'm lazy. I feel like the most shiftless Negro in the world. So I got to get up and move around. My thoughts come from working out walking. The best ideas that I ever had was me either working out or just just walking around, and those have materialized into the best best things for me. So sleeping in the bed, you know, you know what I didn't say sleep, just being in the bed. I feel like claustrophobic in the bed for too long. It's like I got to get up,
got the goat. Okay, Well that's that's That is definitely something that I see in men, a lot of men, particularly that it's like laying down all day. It's not My father doesn't lay down all day. It's not gonna happen. My mom really never laid down all day either, but she sure will get her a few more hours, more more than my dad. So for all of you folks who are watching us um today you are watching pre record and listening. You're listening and watching a prerecorded show.
We're running a series on money, money, money, money, money. We are talking about black folks and our money, and we are not about to let this crypto metaverse n f T world miss us. And so there are spaces where all people talk about is that. But we have folks like you who may be tuning in for political information.
You may be tuning in for what's happening in the movement, and so we want to make sure we bring that world to this world so that we are on the cutting edge of wherever people are spending money and making money more importantly, um, and just making sure that our communities are up to speed, because we know that while our politics are important, it is equally important for us to know the politics of our money and to know
what's happening in our society. And so with that being said, while we are traveling, you guys know that we are um on this pilgrimage, going on a pilgrimage. We are headed on a pilgrimage um to the continent of Africa, covering covering a few different areas. And while that's happening, we take these shows specifically so that folks would be you know, just into a series that from show to show you learn more and more and more and more.
And hopefully today will be no different. Yes, it will be no different because we're trying to teach it because we're the number one and shut well, I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to but I already learn. You're not getting God. Here we go. I promise you all that by the end of this show, my son is going to believe that he is ready. The last Your Leisure show they put me on the path, I was like, oh, I started doing my little studying I said, I might, I
might get this. So I know Key's gonna drop something that's gonna push it over the level. But I know you're gonna push you to the next level for me.
So as promised, we're keeping with this series of conversation on money, and we're talking to an incredible leader, one of the leading voices on UM or really not just finance for finance purposes, but really more so about how we as black people have to do a better job of pulling our resources of understanding these industries and you is in this one point four trillion dollars that we have at our disposal UM to really become self sustained. And um, I, you know, listen a lot to this brother.
I know where he's our brother. We listened a lot to him and learned so much, and he really is one of the leading voices in this nation UM on the sustainability of black folks from a financial perspective. And so now, first of all, he was born in St. Louis. I didn't know that. You know, he kind of acts like he was born in New York. But you know that's the whole We won't hold it against him anyway.
Born in St. Louis raised in West Oakland. Now that I can see right, a thought leader and entrepreneur, a public speaker, and most of all, a teacher. He is a teacher, our brother. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for joining street Politicians, nineteen Keys, Thank you all for having me. Man Man, so listen so you know what you know, Like when people see nineteen Keys, he's just so polished, he's all he knows the perfect
words to say. Like sometimes I listened to you talk, I'd like, how could you you can't say it better than that? Like perfect words. I want you to give a full understand who is nineteen Keys? Like, because we just we just most of us have just found you. Like I met you years ago our brother Derek Grace, you know, when we went to his birthday party, and that was the first time I met you. And from then, you know, I've been impressed and just and just following
you and seeing how you've evolved even from then. At that point, you was one of the leading thought leaders in my opinion at that time, and I've watched you evolved over the last few years. But tell us what is the origin? Where did you come from? What is who are you. Well, can I just say this Derek Grace party. I don't know why I wasn't there, but must have been about the party. It was legendary. That
was a very legendary night. Um. But now, uh yeah, So I go bout nineteen keys, and that more so just speaks in part how unlock minds and how utilize information to get people to tap into They hire stuff, and they hired potential, you know that that part that usually lies dormant, you understand me. And most people and don't usually have keys, and they like somebody that can help them unlock their potential or knowing which knowledge of resources to seek to tap into themselves. And you know, uh,
coming from Oakland, you understand me. Being raised in Oakland open got a different kind of energy, you understand me. And when I grew up out there, you know, it was the black Muslim militant, uh street culture at the same time that I grew up around has always seen black men who had voice, who had power, who have had money, who are militant, who has status, who have political favor the whole nine. So I grew up seeing black men and organizations, and I think from an early
age I was inspired by that, you understand me. Where growing up we went to a black with some pirate school and we had to, you know, speak on stages like I've seen some recent videos on myself phone when I was like eight years old, and some of the things they had me saying when I was younger, some of the same potes I used today. You understand me. And so I never considered myself to be a speaker
until you know, I got paid for it. But there was times when there would be protests and rallies in the streets of Oakland, and I grabed Mike can get up there speaking because I see no black men. It would be a crowd of white people talking about black issues. So I wanted there to be a voice that represented who I was. And then afterwards and days later, there would be people that come up and be like, man, that was so powerful what you said. So I'm listening
and I always taking feedback. You understand me that if I have a talent that's real that I can utilize to help encourage and change the world in any capacity, I'm gonna do so right. And at the same time, I've always been an entrepreneur, been a hustler, being a designer right, And I've utilized all of my skill sets and I believe that they all really are want right. It's just I think it's just you know, speaking as an art, you know, creating as art, doing businesses as
an art. You know. I think even being a revolutionary is an art. You understand me the way you go about it, in the way you design these things. So I've always took all of my passions being a Muslim, being militant, being a man, being a speaker, being an entrepreneur, everything that I was raised under, everything that I've seen UM, and I try to be a solution for the things that I think where UM unaligned with me or wrong, because I've seen those same empires blocked me and fall
by Ego far By. You know, they're killing each other, they you know, jealousy and all sort of issues come up and rise. So I've tried to create multiple groups where there were black men and women coming together, we traveled the world and done business, and I've always tried to stop it from getting to that point where you know, um, yeah it fails. You know, the same issues is basically the same exact patterns and cycle that happened almost in
every single organization. Right, So I always say that I've never been impressed. I haven't been impressed by two match that I see in our culture because it doesn't matter unless it have longevity. You can always start something for a short period of time. It's successful for a year, five years, but if you don't get past them decade marks to be successful, then it don't really matter, right, And so I've always tried to create things that can
be sustainable. And what I learned though, is I had to start with myself and make my own character, my own brand, and my own movement is sustainable. And so that's what I worked on. Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm listening to you when you talk about that militancy. It's two things that come up for me. I also was the ero on the stage, you know, young girl.
People think that we just kind of popped up out of nowhere because they just learned of who we are, but actually the history of how long some of us have been doing this work, um, it goes deep. And it was the same for me. I was seven and eight years old, singing the Black National anthem, speaking at rallies and organizing in Harlem, um, and and so I'm just thinking of what that looks like and how we have been through so many different phases of this movement
since we were children. And the other thing, just thinking about you coming out of Oakland, it makes so much sense. I didn't know that until I did deeper research on your personal life in your background for the purpose of
this interview. But knowing that the Black Panthers were there in Oakland and that the roots of the Black Panthers run so deep um into Oakland, that helps me understand you so much, you know, because it's like that militancy that you're talking about, you got it from a different type of movement, you know. And they weren't the polished Black Panthers. There was the real deal when they were in Oakland, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean that's the same with the Muslims. I was out there
because you had two different sects you have. My mother grew us up in the Nation Islam, and then my father he was at your blocked with some bakery which was basically a different parlimlitary street organization, and every every week we would go outside and uh were drilled in every hood, you understand me. But they it was fear a little Muslims because the Muslims is crazy, you understand me. The type of Muslims that that would kill you, you
understand me. And that was well known. Like that organization ran for four the years and then lost because of corruption. But imagine you right down the street and you see a motorcade of all ten black cars, Muslims in black suits, you understand me, and they hop out and all of a sudden, you got a hundred men on the sidewalk to start drilling in your hood, you understand me. In the purpose was at to credit demonstration so that it attracted to young men and women to power and show
them something of a difference in their environment. And then at the same time, you know, they had talked to the generals in every hood and it was an understanding that you know, we got our own army. We're coming in to save our people, right and at the end of the day, it's not something we're negotiating with y'all. This is what this is our stands, that's what we're taking. Right.
And so seeing that and also seeing those same black men have businesses and my father running that organization as well, you know, I learned a lot about that structure just through watching it and then the FI classes that we would go to every Monday night. We are being there, and that's why I learned a lot right where we gotta be in their boxing. We learned spirituality, we learn the business, we learned and discipline. I see things were a man and got in trouble that we he might
get beat up. You understand, he got the file beat down. It was a little different, you know. So I see in a completely different paradigm and reality. And then when we go back to the streets, because we are in Oakland, right, I'm going in with this militant mindset. But then these cats that's growing up there, they don't have none of that, you know. They exist in a completely different reality. So it was almost you gotta duality, you living in two
worlds at once, you know. And I've always figured out a way to combine that because I go back and forth between Oakland and St. Louis. So I left St. Louis when I was two, grew up and opened up into my teenage years, and then I went back to St. Louis, right, and then that's when they couldn't even believe none of the militant stories. I told me they thought I was kicking it all. They're like, come on, you part of
the whistling my field military. I'm like, all right, but they gave me my third eye to be able to I was in the streets, but I was the of it, you understand me. So even when we did what we did, I was always the one giving the game and the advice to everybody else on how we should move on a different level, You understand me. And everybody that grew up with me can protested that as well. So when they see me to day, like man, he has always been like this, Now he just has a platform to
magnify those thoughts. That's that's amazing because I see myself in the same same picture, like the duality being industriests but never feeling like you up the streets. And even when I was doing negative, I was trying to talk about like we should be doing this, and if we're gonna do this, then we need to make sure this is happening. So I was always that one person that was always having a different perspective. But when I listened
to you, you know, just paying attention to you. You you're very big on creating our own, just building our own, just not weighing on anybody, just building our own. At what point did you come to that when you know, doing all the studies, you you've been around, you know, so many different thought leaders in different organizations, When did you come into your own and saying, you know, this is what we need to create, This is how I
think we need to go about it. Because you have a different model, like I hear her different things with the way that you go about it is something that people from the street can gravitate to, but also has
this militancy. So what how did you develop that? You know, it's just through study and it seeing the rise and fall of you know, essentially smaller empires, right, And it's a turn called aggregate efficiency where economically talk about the amount of energy you put into something based on the amount of energy you actually get out and rather it's
an efficient model of doing something. So I looked at the idea of what the revolutionary was, right, because I think that was that concept of something you gravitate towards when you grow up in those type of environments. Understand me, And then I said, well, you know, if I wanted to be a traditional revolutionary I followed the traditional path, But then I have to ask myself do I want
the same results that they got? And is that most effective way to go about it given that we and now you know the times that we are in with technology and resources. So I had to them to the conclusion like na, that wouldn't be the best use of my time to get those results I want? Right? So myself, what is the results we want? Right? The ideas like it ain't financial literacy and just an aspect. Financial liberation is the key, right and completely releasing ourselves from those
contracts and the deeper study right in all fields. Let me know how deep in the depths of these issues and problems are that even if we saw one right, there's always a deeper underlying u of issue that exists there and most people can only solve the issue based
on how much they understand the problem. Right. So the more I go into and study, whether it was Marcus Garvey, Noble jew Ali, you understand me um studying the history between even the fuse between different leaders and their different styles, right. I think studying the unaboid Liji Mohammed gave me an understanding difference because here's difference between most leaders. I think
that he understood the enemy more, right. I think that was the difference between him and other leaders is that they was like, na, we can do it based on just educating or simulating, or we can just get the business down. He was like, y'all, don't understand the depths of the devil. Though you understand me. If I thought that was all we needed to do, then of course
I would go with that model. But you have to understand that this problem exists much deeper, right, And so I believe that he constructed his solutions based on the
full understanding of the problem. Right. And so even when I look at the Nabalaj Muhammad, I don't look at him as a little professor somebody delivered just a message, but somebody who built right, and who was a millionaire multimillionaire, And most people don't look at it from that aspect that he had financial success, right, He had an airplane in hospitals and in universities, and he had his own barbershops, and he had his own import export business with fish
and poultry and supermarkets and a multitude of different things. Trust in real estate, like they would have their savers days and talk about all of the financial aspect of
the nation of Islam. So that was something I gravitated towards as I started doing my study and saying that how can you say that you come from or study under a person if you haven't went as far as them or further, So that means that you haven't evolved their message yet until it produced his students for people that take that message further, because that's what the message is supposed to do for you, not just so that
you follow it, but you become it right. And so taking and internalizing that and then seeing men who tried to internalize that message and failed at it because of the correction and their character, you understand me, were all the things that I set out not to become right. And then studying whether it was Martin Luther King in a way that he went about as a strategist because I didn't grow up like in Martin Luther King, right, Um, I think most of us that grow up being that
more militant we think of the turn of chief. But then I learned how militant he was and how strategic he was, And funny enough, I learned that when went to a documentary in Chicago with Nick Cannon that he had threw um and he was that disciplined to dr King was super disciplined. You know, he knew he knew exactly what he was trying to get done. And I think that the whether you agree with all of his tactics or not, he never tried to be anybody else other than exactly who he had set out to be.
And I think that says a lot about a man that you don't have to agree with them, but you know that they're not going to change based upon the room that they're man. Yeah, and he just had a strategy for everything he did. Like he he wasn't If I'm marching, then I need to get this thing in the press, and then this thing is gonna effect to move this politician and then we can get this bill.
He was getting leverage each time he was doing something right, and like his men had to go train up in order to be not violent, because you know, it takes a certain level of discipline left in the face and to get punched and to not shake and start your spirit doing that and then people don't break rank. So
I respected that aspect of it. It's the same thing with uh you know, Malcolm Max or the Honorable Minister lewis far kind of any Somebody asked me which leader I think I am, and at the time, I believe I'm an amalgamation of all, Like I study all of them to take what I believe is the best frequency that they had, that I believe we should teach our trison to evolve into an oftentime, we look at which one that we pick and we kind of pit them against each other's if they had to be separate forces.
So economic spirituality, family, liberation, politics, right, technological advancement. You can find all of those in each one of those leaders. But we still haven't went as far as them yet. So now we deal with a different kind of people, and our people have more information than any other point in time than any other teacher came and try to teach us. They came at a point where a lot of people were wholly ignorant, you understand me, And now you've got the Internet, and so it's it's a much
hard are the uphill battle. So it's still wholly ignorant as they still ignorant in a lot of areas, for surely, but they're more informed now, so it's harder to teach you people who already think they know something. You understand me, and that they have a certain level of consciousness that they filter all the information that you give them. Plus they have the background of thinking about all the leaders that have failed, and then they filter you through that
same lens. And so now it's about putting the responsibility on the everyday person and the ideas and the principles rather than on myself, Like, nah, we're gonna teach you what you need to do right, so that you don't look at leadership as if it's failing. You gotta look at yourself that you fail because if I can give you the game, you don't play it the right way, then that's you losing, because now you don't have any excuses, So I look for no excuse. Models, Right, what you
wanna do? You want to make money? What we would teach you a skill set to make money? You understand me if you know you wanna deal with the politics, when we would teach you our idea of how we can circle navigate some of those processes and politics to get to the process. You understand me of delivery and resourceful us. Right, and so you know I learned that you can't getting people to think a certain way and lets you give them some money, like they need resources first,
otherwise we're stuck in survival mode. So it's like you can go to the streets and talk to them all you want, but until you can replace whatever they're doing the streets, right, they not go truly listen to you because they like, bron hear you. But you know, I gotta do this to survive. So it'll be like, what
about to give you this game? Then would you be willing to trade that mindset that you have over here and put the energy over here and get better results and at the same time you're taking less risk and you can go further. And they'd be like, all right, you understand me. So I'm gonna wear my goal because I'm gonna show them like, listen, I just did it myself right at the end of the day, and the
excuses that you may make, you don't have. Like I was talking with me one time in the club chat and I remember I was giving a game to him and some other folks and he asked me. He was like, but yeah, but where are you from? So he thought I was gonna say, like some Ohio or some square place, and I'm like, no, I'm from St. Louis An, Oakland. You understand me, Like the excuses don't really exist. We don't matter where you come from, Like we live in
two two. We all had the same resources. Depend on whether you want to pick them up or not, or that you want to shift your mindset outside your environment. That's dope. So there's two questions I want to ask. First of all, now we're dealing with this whole metaverse crypto n f T what is n f T S. Everybody's trying to figure out what is then n f T. I hear it all the time. I'm kind of getting it. I was talking to the earn your leisure brothers the other day, our brothers, and they broke it down to
me too. It was like it kind of clicked in my mind. But the second question I want to ask, when you said you went to the hood and drilled, let's get let's let everybody understand what you meant when you said we dropped out, we drilled, because they might get it confused. Okay, yeah, they think like music. God uh not. So drilling is a militant process where you know, just like in the military when they called the orders left face right face. It's a it's a militant cadence
where all of us are lined up. We had on black suits, you understand me, read both ties, watch shirts, you understand me, dress shoes classic like if you were seeing the Malcolm X movie, uh, where they lined up outside the police station. And so it was an exercise of discipline, right, the showcase that we was all in one unison, right, and so learning that we would have the drill all year round. We didn't have no summer, like we didn't get let out for summer, you understand me.
So we would be in the hot sun drilling whether it's a hundred degrees, were out there in full suits, but we wouldn't even be breaking the sweat because they also had your black with some bakery and we would be eating the right foods at the same time. And it was a showcase of who was and what they were doing. So other coming there and drill um and then he starts sweating out everything that he didn't did
last night, you understand me. So the alcohol coming through your fores, you start smelling the smoke, brother, be like, no, we already know what you did last night. We can smell hennessy right there, do your sweat. You understand me by time to the end of the night. It's a whole story of what you did that whole week. You understand me because you should come in and improve every week because the brothers are basically the model is this. I don't care if you come from jail, you get
off drugs. What's your situation is you homelessly? Give you a job and help you get a place to start, but you have to come in and get disciplined. You got to come in on the Monday nights, Saturday night meetings.
You gotta come in, show up for your work. Don't mess out or nothing to give you the opportunity, but it's gonna be up to you to show up for So it was a whole process of redeeming a human bank right, and of course that comes from the underwood lives Mohammed, because nobody learned how to redeem the black man better than on the leg Behod. So what is the NFC Because I need to figure out how I can get me or sell me or something not me
but stuff. So n f T s and you know, even saying the word n f T s, I think is what gives so many people so much difficult because it understanding this concept of a thing instead of understanding what it can do. Because there's really a digital token, you understand me, and it's digital token can be linked, um in creation to digital items. Right. So this moment right here, we took a screenshot of it. It can
upload right on what they call the blockchain. And the blockchain, of course is basically a mathematical key where you can upload an item and it can't be hacked, It can't be destroyed, it can't be replaced, you understand me. It's creating digital ownership, right, So at first this wasn't possible at first, right, blockchain where a bit point is the first time a blockchain is created that has been unhackable.
You understand me. Now, if you would think of most of the n f t s you see out there, which is non fungible tokens, which essentially saying that this is something that can't be exchanged for something else, right, um, because it has its own singular unit of value. Right. It's like if you get a sign picture from Beyonce that is non fungible, you can't if somebody loses that, they can't just replace it with another picture and then try to put the autograph over like na, this is
non fungible item. So there's also regular digital tokens that are fundible. Right. A dollar is fungible because if you lose one dollar, you can replace it with another dollar, you can replace it with four quarters has the same amount of value, right, So not fundible, just the word that describes that idea. Now, I think the most important thing is what you can do with n f T s. Right.
It's like if I try to explain, um, you know what my computer or how to create my computer, I couldn't because I don't know how to create computers, but I don't know what to do with it, you understand me.
And so everybody who has a product right now, if you already sell a book, what you do, both of you all do, then that means that you already have something that you can sell as a product as an n f T right, because what you could do is you can take your book right now, take the book, cover of it, take the art, and you uploaded on one of these platforms, right, and one of these platforms once you uploaded, that's the process they call mentee, because
you're putting a transaction on the blockchain, right, and that transaction will be there forever. And what happens is is it's basically like a mathematical key, and that's something that you can store and what you call a digital wallet. Right, So once you take that picture anywhere. I know it may sound a difficult when we get here, but when we take that picture, and then on the back end you can put a link connected to that, so you can say, every time somebody buys this book, they are
unlocking the e book. So the moment that they buy this n f T, it's going to automatically send that now mathematic pool key today wallet to say that now you own this thing that was mented on the black change to me, you're no longer owns this, my sign no longer ownss. It went from their wallet to your wallet, right, and so if you only make ten, there will only
be ten. Right. Nobody else can uh fake like they have the same one, because you can go and see their transaction like, no, this did not come from wallet. You do not own the authentic one, right, and so nobody can go and hack that and change that and make it something else. So you've literally created You can put a quantity of that onto the block, change as
much as you want. You can. Somebody can purchase it from you, but it's directly from you because you are the owner and the only place they can get that from it is from you, and then they can't and
then there is nothing that can be done to change it. No, So the US, the US dollar, the the Treasury meant if they create something that they create one some one thousand dollar bills, you understand me, somebody else will have the counterfeit that because they have a process in which is created that they can say that this came from us, right, So like they are the Treasury meant. So the way that they meant something is the same way that you
meant something. Right, it's taking that same ledger system that they have to say that, no, we have this in our ledger, that this came directly from us, and then we have unique identifiers on there that shows us whether this is real or whether this is counterfeit. So somebody took a screenshot of that, it also would not come with the benefits. So here's the beautiful part of it. So the same way that that person um that has
that n f T that you dropped on there. You can now go with a code or developer and say, well, I want to air drop this person something for buying it. So air dropping is the process of sending them something in their wallet. Right. So let's say that everybody who boxed your book, now you want to send them another n f T directly to those wild is connected to UH that n f T. So you say, now I'm want to see you an invite to a special event.
So if somebody just screenshot at that, they're not getting the invite in their wile because it's not connected to that transaction. Right. So that's the beauty of these n f T s because you can decide at any point in time to add value to them. That listen, now that you are in this is like a membership, you understand me. And you can also see everybody who says
they support you. Everybody will run up to you like it's like them showing your receipt, but it's a real receipt saying that all right, now you can use this uh n f T. You can connect it as a ticket to say, well, you can scan it and if this comes up authentic, that you actually got it from my wallet. Then guess what, we'll let you into this event.
But now it becomes a verifiable ticket that they can use or membership, right or in the case what most people use it called PSP projects is for profile photos, which is why you see people change their profile photo because the first projects were created to be profile photo pictures. Right. And then what happens is as a person to create an art and they say, well, you can also own
the intellectual property connected to this part. So as long as you own it, I can create me some designs and instead of somebody feeling like they need to go steal my design to plagiarize them, they can just buy the design and being create a brand around it. So that's what a lot of people are doing right now.
They take their crypto punk so they bore their yachts or whatever, and they start creating brands out of it where they're making shirts, they're making coffee mouths, or they make a cartoon, or they make other projects that are derivative of that because they own the trademark to it now or the intellectual property and the license to it.
So you also can say that, okay, well what if somebody read your book and that they got the e book, um, and they decided they want to sell this as n f T now, right, so if they sell it, and you put in there because it has a smart contract connected to it to say that whatever I say, this n f T will do, anytime somebody buy it is
going to execute that. Right. So if you say that's the next person that buys it, you want them to unlock the book as well, not just the first person, but each person that buys it, no matter how many people get it. That means that if you only can create a ten and only you can sell ten, but everybody who buys it, they can sell there is on the secondary market, and you can set a percentage of royalties that you want to get paid every time somebody selling.
Now the same way if somebody go take shoes and they sell it on the secondary market, if night he had it connected as an n f T where it was authenticated. I used that for Dana the the example the other day because he sold out his hoodies in
like five minutes. And example was like okay, Dapper Damn where the sold ten thousand digital hoodies that connected to ten thousand physical hoodies and he waited a period of time before he sent them out because some people bought more than one because they don't want to resell them right and resell them for more. But instead that could have been like, no, I'm gonna sell ten thousand and then I'm gonna get five him percent royalty every time
somebody sells it. So now when somebody decided to go sell this at two hundred or three hundred dollars, you understand me, he get paid every time it stoked. Yeah, exactly exactly. So it makes if you do it scalping tickets, that benefits it's saying that these are real tickets. There's no longer illegal activity because we don't get paid off of regardless. But now it makes the secondary market powerful
because it don't matter how many of you buy. You understand me, the person that initially created it go get sold regardless or get paid regardless after you sell it, because they get a percentage of you sell. Absolutely. Okay, I'm told the earn your leisure guys, and I say it all the time. I need a sluck because I'm not. I have to have I gotta read things twice to
get it. Let me let me he said something about research, they said, which means go back and read that's what they told me you said on one of these shows. But wait, no, no, I have a specific question that I need a slow answer to. If it's an n f T and it's digital, then how do I put the sweater over my head? Because what I was explaining to our brothers that are in your leisia is I'm the type of person that I like for my investment to be in my hand, something I can physically touch,
So how do I get the product? Alright? So if it is a digital, it unlocks a physical right. So the idea was that, um, you would take the digital hoodie and then it would give you a link. Right. It could be at the point in time where he said, well, you know, for the first week, we're not gonna send them out, but whoever owns them on this day. I did this with my crowns. If you own this particular n f T on the nineteen, then that would be the day we verify all these n f T s
and who holds them on that day? Right, because you could have hold him on the first. But I don't mean you unlock it. You don't get access to whatever it unlocks until you own it on that day. What gives it a period of time for people to start our selves it. That was the whole point. So now people can start selling on the secondary market, like damn, I didn't get mine. I didn't get mine. So people are like, all right, cool, I said I got five
of them. I'll say you four months now. Dan just got paid you understand me each time that that was. So he got paid the initial time they bought it at full price, and then he got paid it on the secondary market because they wanted to make extra money and he created an opportunity for right. So now they get this link that verifiers that they own it, and now they get to put in their size. They shipping that dress, and it's going to automatically send them this hoodie.
And now they get the physical hoodie with it. And how do you know it's authentic authentic because they got the n f T that shows, like, yo, this is not a fake that for Dann hoodie. This is a real one. I got the n f T that matches the hoodie that I owned, So this might be hoodie one eleven and I got the n f T one eleven, right, So it's also a market of authenticity so that it can't be faked. So what's the downside to this? Is there in your mind a downside? I guess you well,
you said something. I do actually pay attention to you, just so you know. I heard you say. Every industry there's there's a downside, Like there's issues that come out of anything. So help us understand that. Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be a lot of scammers in every industry. It's a lot of projects that ain't worry nothing. I think it's just simple where it's like I tell you, if you're gonna do any to you do it for
two reasons. You'll get in there buy stuff just because you like it, right, Like if like right behind me, I got these machines to where I can take one of my pictures and the uploads and here a three D image, a holographic image. Right, So if I like art that somebody got, now I got the digital frame, or I consider my house. Right, So if I'm buying it for that reason, I can't lose because I'm not
buying it as an investment. I'm just buying it the same way you go to the market and you buy some art that you like and you take that and you're posted me your wall transaction over with. Right, If you start buying everything with the idea that it's going to be an investment and it's gonna make you money in the future, you're gonna lose out a lot, right, because you can't really predict all of that now. So if you buy things just because you like it, there's
no loss in the market. That's different now if you're going in there and you're trying to make money, now, a lot of people are going to scare you because they're going to be people that make it seem like you're gonna make money by getting into this project. It's gonna be hyped, it's gonna be a community built around it, and then a lot of people will exit that project. So now you own this digital asset that you can do nothing with. Right, then they're just sitting in your wallet.
I mean, you can still go take that picture and you can put it up, but that wasn't the reason you bought it for. And you overpay for something that didn't have any utility. Right, And this is something that I've taught at the beginning of it, is that utility is the key to creating the value for this unless it's a real artist. I don't want to buy art from you. Number one, You understand I mean somebody that just started last week and start putting out art. Why
would I buy art from you. You're not an artist. You hired an artist to put out heart. So it's different if you hire an artist to create art and it represents like a product picture that unlocks something of value. Right, let's say that because you're here always done to me, you understand me. So let's say your hair stylus says that I've only got five appointments this week. I'm gonna put them as n f T s and basically unlocking
which date and what time. You understand me. If you buy the n f T then you get that appointment. Now let's say that you can't make it. Or let's say that you are stylish. Okay, now come on, talk to me and my language. Now I'm understanding. Then what okay, you can wait, let me say what I think. So then you can't make it. So now you go and sell it to somebody else. They get it, and you can sell it for whatever price you want to that person.
If you pay two hundred dollars. You could be like, well, if you want my appointment, you gotta pay four hundred dollars. And then the person who was selling it, the hair eye the percentage of the first of all, she gets the first two dollars, and then she or he gets the percentage off of the resale. Now, if you're hot, stylish or somebody, uh, hair stylush, somebody might want to
buy all your slots just to sell them. But guess what you get paid regardless, So you and then what they might want to do and say, you know what I'm gonna They might be a celebrity stylus. They might buy the slots so they can start giving it to their clients and start selling those clients. That's what people do with clothes, and they do it all kinds of different things. There's a lot of secondary markets that exist, it's just the initial creator doesn't always get the benefit
from it. So now you get to create all these different business models. So when I help people create n f T s, I'm helping people create businesses and new business models. That's what I'm doing, and finding different creative ways to add on to their business model that wasn't normally possible. So the n f T s allow people to do things with their business and get super creative in ways that they normally couldn't have done. At first, mm, brother,
you broke it down. That was this you gotta now she figured out I wanted to give y'all the jewels too, because n f T s could also be used in humanitary causes in philanthropy as well. Right, yeah, but we're we're actually in an n f T situation now with Tommy Smith, uh, their brother who raised his fists in the Olympics um where they are selling an original of the photo of him with of course the signature, and several organizations will benefit from the money that has received,
you know, So I'm getting it. I'm we just got to create our own NFC because we have value, you know. So once we create something that we can sell and then actually give all our followers updates or have personal rooms where if you have this n m T, you can come to this personal room discuss this, or see
personal footage of things. If you put your book up there, you can give like a behind the scenes something about your book that only people who brought the book the n f T can get there I'm getting it now, I'm getting it. I'm getting there. So listen, we gotta wrap up real quick, because we could be here all day with you. You You know that we we always could build. But I just want to know tell us about the metaverse and how does the n f T s fit
into the metaverse. So you know, n f T s are digital things you can on if you have uh I'm sure you are. Both of you all have two children, so they a lot of children. They play games and then they buy skins in those games, right, And the idea is that you can take these digital things that you buy in the game and you can transfer over to other games or other places, because it doesn't just exist in this game and exist as something that you
digitally own. So if you buy something as an n f T market, you can take that thing that you own and you can bring it into the metaverse in
this digital world. I just see Angela of Benton, she just wrote out something with the n f T where you can take your own stream lytics data company and you can take all of your data, you can connect it to your n f T And I believe the idea is essentially that you can take your world world profile of all the things you do, and you can download it into your character and all of that data be connected to your character, right. And she has a platform basically allowing you to sell your own data so
you make money off of it. Rather than companies selling it to other companies, you now get to sell your data directly to them and get paid off. Right. But the idea is that you know there's going to be a digital world where people are going to be submerged into this new era of social media. Right, meta by Facebook standards, you understand me, It is not. I don't think it's gonna be the one that pop off that
most people want to get into. I think that's gonna be an overly police social media, open social media that I'm not promoting, right. I don't really promote metaverse period, besides the education behind the opportunities that people can use, right, Like they want to use metaverse and empathy training for
police officers. Right now, I can't tell you whether this go work, but they do say that it increases empathy to put your stuff on somebody else's shoes, right, and then the brain submerges itself into that experience, and then once you leave out of it. You can now empathize with that person because you literally have experienced what it was like to be a black man getting pulled over. You understand me in those moments. And so they've done
doing this for nursing homes. They're doing this with all sort of different things, and even education and the education field that people are able to retain information more when they're submersed into it in these environments. And then in these metaverses, we can create our own world. We can create any type of environment that we want to have received.
You understand me. You can be there u uh uh Marcus Garvey speech, you understand me duplicated, and you can sit in the audience and you can be up there and see what it was like to be there. You can be in ancient Egypt right with black faces with the nose on there before they knocked everything down, and you can experience what it was like to go through true history instead of you know, the white eratiar of history. Like so, the metaverse we can use as education platforms.
You can host events in there, right, you can create games in there. You can take your n f T s, you can bring them into the metaverse. People have full galleries that they create with the n f t S. People teach classes in there because you can also get your streams people. I mean, in the future, there's I'm sure the metaverse is gonna be a very weird place that people are doing all sort of crazy chaotic things in there. And then it's not saying that you have
to be completely submerged in your phone. You can be in the metaverse just through your computer, right, Um, I know I understand to do is dropping some hardware where he's going to have some blast. Is that's like this you understand me to where it it overlays the metaverse on top of the real world so that you're not completely just submerged into this virtual reality, right, so that it doesn't take up all of your senses. But you can use the metaverse the same way as you use
the Internet. You understand me is social media where you don't have to completely be connected to it. So the metaverse is just the future of the Internet at the end of the day, and there's an opportunity for billions and billions of dollars to be created. They are already funny billions of dollars. So anytime I see a new sector. Right, I say, well, if we learn the skills on how to build that and we get it early, then there was a billions of dollars that can come our way. Right,
that's the whole point of looking at this metaverse. I don't care if people play games or they create the avatars and all of that crapping there. I don't want to be the owners of it and create our own thing. You understand me, because even on social media, people are
spending five or six hours today on it. So people are already going to be in the metaverse because that's where they have it is anyway, you know, So it's not and if it's a't win at this point in time, and if we have our own metaverse, at least we can capitalize off it and we can decide what our
people minds and submerged into it makes sense. I want to say one thing we're gonna close with this so high level conversations is that that's the new podcast that's coming and and and and tell them about infinite wealth strategies. Break all of that down as we end up go out there, let them know where to find you. All of that break it downs were so high level conversations, man, is exactly what it is way too many low level conversations. When I sit down, people don't have a lot of
safe spaces to be intelligent. Man. A lot of people that I have conversations with, you know, we've dune it down a lot for audiences. And depending on the way that you get your platform, it's like you don't have a platform to show ocase your mind that people actually want to hear. Right, then, I'm gonna talk about subjects and I don't have no bar. You understand me. I can go as far as I want to and say what I want to because I'm free. You understand me.
So I want to have high level conversations in all areas, whether it's politics, whether it's money, you understand me, live ration, whether it's you know, a spirituality, any and everything. You know. I got some dope people lined up thus far, but also have concepts that I want to give to the culture.
It's taken like what we've seen in the conscious community and then taken into a higher level of aesthetic you understanding me, platform and mainstream to where we can give concepts that really take us to a higher frequency in a higher vibration. So it's gonna get real dangerous, It's gonna be powerful. I'm gonna make people change their platform and the way they do things because we go listen, let me ask you this question, who is the smartest
black man in history? Or woman? Who's the smartest? The smartest? I don't want to give nobody that one time? Who would you give that? Yeah? I mean that it is a tough question. I do have an answer. But the idea that question. If I ask you, who are like the smartest white men in the history, we gotta like a list of top ten we would go through based
on living white men, you understand me. And the issue is is that we don't really have a list of like the top ten smart We have the top ten rappers, but we don't value intelligence in that same capacity, you know, So we don't really look at each other and measure each other based on intelligence. So people don't showcase their
intelligence for that reason. Actually, so I want us to be able to now have a measurement where we would be like, damn him being smart as a reason that he's popular, reason that he should have a platform, a reason that people should listen to him, But look up to this person or she being intelligence. So I want to add intelligence as a metric now that people look
at as a success. But we can look at this and the Steve Jobs and all them would be like in the Einstein's and say that these are the smartest white men easily off the top of our head because we give them an intelligence market as a reason for their success. But we don't do that in our community. We might even call a person of genius, but we still don't look at how smart they are. Right, So, high level conversations it's coming. It's gonna be on the
y L network. We're gonna do some amazing things. I got some powerful guests lined up, and then of course I got myself. So I want you all to be on there because when we have a conversation, you ready, were ready, We know exactly well, listen, I got stuff I want to talk about, So tell us so people. You said you help people to set up their n f T s and all of that, and I'm assuming
that that's through infinite wealth strategies. Wealth strategies. So I'm also creating an incubator for developers and artists to where everybody has ideas for their projects. They can come through us and then we can create their projects for them. Currently, we have the Infinite Wealth Strategies where my students they can flip n f T s there creating f T s.
You understand me. What's especially saying that they're creating businesses and then making money and they're creating products and projects. Not only did we do that in the in the Infinite Wealth Strategies, we also choose cryptocurrency, how to understand it, how to find projects? You understand me, how to sale, trade and buy cryptocurrency. Um. We also teach you how to create books. I got a three or four week book strategy where you can credit e book, take the
idea out your head and stop procrastinating. And always say, procrastination is the abortion clinic of ideas. And I think that's a mental health issue that eight people have because a lack of focus. So we teach that. My father teaches a class every Monday. A live class is a manhood class you understand me, for business development and mental development. So every Monday he's been doing that for almost a year. Now. You understand me that you want to get access to
that live one. I sometimes come in there and do Sunday consultations where I can give you specific advice on how you can break into this industry, with whatever industry that's you into. So whether you're in politics, whether you're hairdresser, whether you tell books, whatever it is, I'll give you the game or how you can get in for yours right. And it's really about the community because the community in
there they're teaching you. They teach you things about staking, the process of putting your money into earn interests, or they teach you about different projects that you can get in. It's a whole real blockchain intelligent community. Teach you how to create trust, uh not just trust with but like
trust for trust. Yes, yes, because my mom um, she had a stroke two years ago March ten, and I had to learn in a very short time period in order for her to be able to get the help that she needs, how to create a trust, what to do about my parents money. And I can tell you there are a lot of people that do not have a clue of any of that in our community. And that's where but I was gonna say the last thing on trust. When you understand that America is a trust,
America's a cooperation. So every black family only should have a trust and should be set up as a corporation. Corporations have more power than people in this country. You understand me. We We live in oligarchy. You understand me. We we we live in a in a in a world where it is owned by a special interest group and corporations. So when you operate through trust, you operate through corporations. You you set it up like the Kardashians. Dude, they
got a church where they run their taxes through. You are now operating in the way you're supposed to in America, and we give away a lot of our rights because we don't understand our natural rights in the order of things in America. So you can find me Infinite Wealth Strategies nineteen Keys, Underscore, nineteen Keys um on all platforms. You can tune into the high level conversations coming on
the E y On network Mars nineteen understanding. If you're feeling dangerous tapping in the nineteen Keys, my brother, we appreciate you man, thanks for breaking it down. I appreciate you. Love your success, continue to grow hopefully when you opening up these minds, I see a lot of a lot of minds over it. Ran you wait to have you
all on the platforms. So we can't wait right away, thank you, We got to have you back on again so that as people learn this stuff that you know, as it gets deeper and they have more questions, that we're hitting them on every angle, making sure that we
we've been saying that on our show. Folks might not like it, but we yes, politics is important, but we're gonna be focusing a lot on money, on our money and our spending power, because we think that that is of course, sort of like the next level, if you will.
I don't think that that means it is um that it is it that that it takes the place of our politics, because we have to understand the political nature of our communities, how things operate, and also how now we we're hearing that the government is planning to get involved with crypto and try to put regulations, So you have to understand the politics in order to understand how to deal with your money. But we still need to focus more on our sustainability from a financial perspective. So
that's the way with our money. It's simple. You can with our money or resources, and if the politicians that you do get behind you gotta look at you know, are they getting behind things that are good for us financially right? If they're going to implement things that we can benefit from these crypto bills, then that's lobby, right, you know my saying poor people vote rich people lobby.
That's right. All right, appreciate you please, guys. So our brother the next guest, which I was super excited about because we had nineteen keys booked, and then we got this alert in the media that said that, um, one of our friends, our dear brothers, is now putting this n f T process into action, working on putting it into action. Um. But it was a different end Street because, like I said, I'm thinking art, I'm thinking you know, things like that, and now looking at what is happening,
and this example is very different. So let me just introduce to those people who are listening to street politicians today who may not know that there is a man who runs restaurants in New York and has all kinds
of other businesses. You know, Don poo got mad, that's but he is a franchise expert and entrepreneur of Extraordinaire and the former executive vice president of m c A Records which makes so much sense because when you go to his famous restaurant, Brooklyn chop House, the walls are full of all the artists and entertainers who have been there, who are great supporters of of his That's my spot, right, Welcome to street politics. Up. What what I have? Guys?
How are you guys doing? We were blessed the Holy Favorite man, because thank you. I know you got a busy day. You're always moving, you always on the run. Every time I see you, you're going some places. Every time I look on the internet, you in the best rooms with you know, everywhere. I'm like Pudo put on Mrs Spot and then I see you in chop House like you're just a regular worker man. So I love
I love the energy, man, I love it. Thanks some We you know, we we gotta show up, you know, we gotta You know, this is not nothing new to me. You know we come from this grind. You know, entertainment kind of prepared me for this grind. You know the rest of my run business. It's not easy, but you know we we we've been blessed and Holly Favorite, you know, have this opportunity to create a very you know, unique concept with Brooklyn Chop House, and you know, we've exposed it,
you know all of our peers and they've been very supportive. Um, We've got a lot of support. And now we're you know, going from our first restaurant to open in two thousand eighteen, UM to our now our newest, newest restaurant, which is gonna be our flagship in Times Square. UM would blessed to have that. We just open that. And you know, we're doing some creative things within the restaurant space now when it comes to U n f T S with a section of our restaurants that's not open yet, it's
soon to come. We're still developing the concept. But you know, I would love to share exactly you know how this application is n f T because um um how we're applying it to restaurants and you know a membership um only uh section of the restaurant. It just clicks from the last conversations of this one. So it's not like just a regular dinner. You're talking about an experience and being certain place you can't go unless you are part
of this. So it's unlocking your private aerial whatever. It's unlocking your private area and experience that will be unlike the experience you would normally get at Brooklyn Shop Bouse, which is great by the way, but we're providing it's a different floor, a different it's actually in the building, but it will be a different business, a different floor,
different entry. So to be separated from what we have now is the concept and it's um it's our wine seller private n f T membership only experience, which hopefully will be launching, you know, as we work through all of the particulars with everything in with New York City, will probably probably be opening in a few months. So so excited about that experience. I'm so excited. I'm like,
you know, just ready to find out things now. You first of all, you said something I thought was so true, watching you don work like your regular employee in your own restaurant. We see you hustling, bustling, managing, talking, meeting people. And I watched Sylvia of Sylvia's Restaurants in Harlem for years because that's like the kitchen in my house. I
go to Sylvia's and pick up all my food. I watched that behavior and it shows me how the longevity has been accomplished by her brand, for her brand, her restaurant her family that she went to every table, she talked to every person, she rubbed every baby, she fixed every problem. She was on top of everything that happened there. And they have continued that and we see it in you. So talk to us a little bit about that grind.
You know that you where that came from, so that that they came from earlier on, from you know myself growing up in Brooklyn. Um I had my first job when I was twelve years old. Um I was packing bags at a supermarket. So I was always about service, right. I was always you know, I was making you know, ten cents heres there, but you know change turns into you know, dollars, right. So all I learned from a young age that as we um, as we serve people and as we you know, work hard and it's all
about the customer service, right. UM I would carry packages and bags for um older UM adults and the elderly that couldn't climb the steps and you know had walk up apartments. I would help them take their backs to their homes and they would you know, give me a better tip whatever. So I just learned the service business
earlier on. So that kind of carried with me for you know, basically my my entire life from managing you know, artists, which I got into the entertainment business, from working with Mary's Blis, from managing Boxy Brown to you know assistant um the Church's b I g here and there on on in different areas when he was on the road and always wanted to be in that, you know, in that industry, so I gotta I got an opportunity to um diversify, you know, once I got into the music
industry into food and beverage enfranchising, and then from there I went on to start my own brand, which is Brooklyn chap House, and you know, able to carry on some of those same characteristics that I learned from earlier on into my business and you know, into my grind. You know, I've always been grinding, so I never stopped. So I'm thankful that you know, the concept is working. And yes, you're right, Um. You have to touch every table.
You have to you know, talk to people, you have to greet people, you have to show up, you know, customer services everything. You know, you can have great food and terrible service, but when the two meet and match and you know, you have great service and you know, great food and it's unanimous that you have both. That's when you know those those two worlds being you, you know you you possibly could survive because obviously we know in the restaurants are tough business. Um you know, eight
of them unfortunately fail in the first two years. So we just have to you know, be dedicated, UM, find great locations, find great concepts, and execute. That's the that's the truth. So what what made you decide that, like this is such an innovative thing that you you're you're combining n f t S with your restaurant. Like what made you come up with that? What made you feel like I need to be involved in n f t S right now? Well, I think this is the this
is the next movement. And um, what we're learning from n f T S, I gain the industry is very new. But we we're learning is as you know as artists. Because once upon a time when artists specifically right just at painting, they sell at one time and that's it. There was no recurring residuals associated with you know something um that's unique, that um that's um tangible that you know you can sell over and over and over against.
So now in the digital space, the metaverse. You create something that's unique, and every time this UM, this n f T or special UM experience is sold or transferred UM, a percentage goes to you know, the person that mince it. So it's a different concept and I think it's a unique opportunity to apply it to restaurant membership program. So there's one other company that you know was UM on the cuttaon edge of this was the fly Fish Club
with Gary v. He UM actually launched one. I don't believe they have a restaurant yet in place, but they launched it, I believe earlier this year and the last year, and they were very successful and I think they sold out their membership availability and they're they're basically proof that this UM blueprint or this concept well possibly you know, it didn't start yet, but the UM, the excitement and the network is there for people that want, you know,
this opportunity to be part of you know, nft UM Restaurant Membership Club per se. So okay, so so now did you what are your thoughts on black folks getting into this n f T space, Like do you feel like this is something that we should be rushing to or would you have people sort of, Um, I mean, you gotta take caution with everything. But I'm hearing a lot of people say this is this is the next move for us as a community to be more in
control of trading our own money. But you know, without having the middleman of the banks and you know, others in it and taking their percentage before it gets to whoever we want to support. We want to support don Pool, don Pool wants to support to making my son. How do we do that without the middleman? So do you think that that's the right move for us as a people? Again,
the industry is new, but I think the concept is right. Right, So as this exchange or this this new industry um, you know, evolves, I think you'll see that, Yes, we should always diverse the five. So so the answer to that question is, yes, you should not jump in with everything you have, but diversify into this market of n f T s like you would you know, any any other you know, UM securities and exchange like yeah, you
just have to be well well diversified with everything. But yes, I think, um, the concept makes sense for us to be involved in. It's still new. We don't know how it's going to actually pan out yet, but if the concept makes a lot of sense, So so what what what are some of the things that this high level that this n f T that you want to you know,
for these exclusives members. What do you what are some of the things that you I don't know if you have it all claimed out yet, but what are some of the things that you want to offer to these members so they'll they'll have exclusivity for reservations UM private, UM private events, UM private art events, UM other maybe UM other n f T launches UM UM the opportunity and network with other cryptocurrency UM you know UM people that's in that world UM, so that they could get
you know, UM network and get understandings about how this application could be applied across the board UM opportunity to you know, there's going to be different types of UM culinary experiences that we're gonna bring to the to the members. So so it's a wide variety of UM opportunities. And I would say it would be art, music, you know, culinary and culture that we're all going to bring together in a unique experience that UM would not be readily
available anywhere else. M wow, And and and now if I don't want to use my reservation for tonight. I can sell it to another person, allowed them to take it, and you get a percentage. It wouldn't work like exactly like that. Think more like a member's only club. It's only for you, but you have the ability to bring other people in on your reservation. It was for the token holders only and their guests. So it will go as far as it will go. As far as that.
It wouldn't be, um, something that you can you could sell. Well, I like it when I when I say by that, um, what I mean that you can sell. Yes, it would be on your exchange. You can sell your membership, but you wouldn't be able to it's not transferable to let come in it. I got it. I think you need
the next model of a Soho house. We have to have this conversation at another time because I would love to be a member of a Soho house model that is owned by a black person, right, um, And so I just think that's something that you should think about. You're probably already working on it because you're like, oh, yes, already.
It's like you're you're already no, no, no, that's that's that's basically the model of members um a membership, right, so there'll be different tiers, right, So that's kind of what the model is. But I want you to have a pool and then I want you to be in Miami with the pool and the beach the same exact way that the current SOHO house exists. Um. So the last question that I had and and and we know you got folks calling you and it's time for you
to move on. I have two questions. One, we're still gonna see you in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn shop House, right, because that's my favorite, I know, Times Square, But I still need to be able to go to the bridge. Okay, say no more, but you got to see the new one. You got to see the new one. So hopefully I can get you there and uh you can experience that as well. But yeah, you know you're you're you're definitely um one of the early supporters and um, you know
that's your house. Let me know whatever whatever whenever you want to go, just let let us let us know us in Lushawn Thompson, because Lushawn Thompson is your PR person that is unofficial, but she goes out tells everybody everybody she's amazing. The only other sean, the only other thing is just to make sure that people understand they still have to pay the cost of their plate and whatever the experience is. They just get a membership to be able to get in, but you still buy your food.
People don't know that. People don't know that. People don't know that. I'm just telling you. You're right, that's that's correct, that's correct, unless unless, unless you get a higher tier membership. So what we're UM working on, what we're trying to formulate is a higher chair membership that actually comes with that culinary experience as well. Obviously it will be you know, a more expensive UM membership, but it will come with that culinary experience, and it will come with UM a
certain amount of reservations per year for that. Oh so that's the one that I can't afford. But okay, I'm on to give me in the basis yet. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. Thank you, man, Thank you for having me. Always on the cutting edge. Man, whether it's from music to the culinary space, You've always been on the cutting edge. And and I know you you're destined for even bigger things with this n f T. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe I can get on somebody's
juice card that can afford the membership. Maybe they'll bring me as one of the guests. You know what I'm saying. I can't wait to get involved. But I appreciate you. Love you man. Keep doing what you're doing. More success, keep doing it, man, Thank you, Thank you guys, Thank you so much. Man, dumb Pool Man, I've been you know, I've been in this industry for years and dumb who is one of the greats, you know, I was then when he found Seine. He's been with Foxy, so he
did shine. I didn't know that you found San So just watching him continue to like he said, diversifying evolved into this and the Brooklyn chopouts is amazing. So I know, the new flagship restaurant probably times a million, and the whole membership that we can't afford, it's gonna be something extra. So hopefully, man, you know, don't pull a let us sneak in and peek at least peek. I don't need to eat nothing, just let me peek at you know. I'm getting chop outs. I just can't get to the top.
The food is included. Pope no, you ain't. Don't say that. We don't claim being at all. We don't know, we don't. Well, listen, I just can't afford the top ten. You don't even know the price that we don't you start saying exclusive and all this. I see a number down here. That's a little crazy. I didn't even read that number because it hasn't been you know, said it was for sure. But I'm just not gonna that. I'm not that right there. I wonder if if that number is per year? No,
that's yeah, that's that's how do you just remembership starts? Okay, I understand what I'm asking you. Damn we should have asked who is that every year or once you and then you know what I'm saying, and that's the n f T. So you you probably would be about he probably have a certain amount that he sells for the first year, and then he probably sund more at a higher price until you know what I'm saying, then people
will be able to sell him for more. Yeah, I gotta I need to know, because if you want to membership at the SOHO house, you pay like up to I think it's like five thousand dollars every year. So I just wonder if it's if an n f T works different. What the n f T is about for the n f T S is different because what it is is like they said, you buy the n f T, you own that n f T, so you own that token. So whatever comes with that token you can get. But
that token can expire in a year. Maybe it doesn't expire. We have that. That's why you purchase because that's what the whole thing of the n f T is that you own. You own the n f T. But the n f T, I'm just trying to understand how you know, because that's what it is, is something that you own. You know. I can't stand when you learn stuff because then you become the super expert. Can't nobody tell you? You just asked me a question. I'm giving you the
facts about the situation. How do you know? Because I've been studying, and when you buy the n f T, you own the n f T. It's not rental, No, it's no rental. So it happens is you can sell it for more, you can utilize it. You know, a different situation. But you can't, like he said, you can't sell a reservation for a night. No, you can sell your whole n f T and then you now that
person owns the membership, you can sell your membership. Yeah I don't want to do Oh well, you want to sell your membership when the thing is like hot, hot, I paid this, I'm gonna need this. Yeah, well you might need to. And then what happens is after he do that, that he could say, you know what, we got overwhelming amount of people who want to be a part of this. We only had this much. We're gonna put twenty more on the market all these things now that the prices sky, and then you can sell Wow,
we gotta really I gotta know more. I'm trying to just listen to what I'm saying, saying yeah, but you know, I still you know what my problem is is I still see life as me giving to others. Like in my mind, I'm not thinking enough about how I can make this happen for myself. I'm over here thinking okay, so then if then how do I like if I buy one and then I sell it, how much more does he need me to sell it for so he could get a percentage? Like I need to learn retrain
myself to also understand that I also can participate. The thing is, whenever you sell it, he's going to have when they sell you the n f T. When they sell it to you, it's gonna be the close that said, okay to resell it. If you resell this at such and such whatever, I get this percentage right, that's in the smart con So you're gonna already know how much you're gonna make because you would say, I gotta whatever.
I got to give him this amount of percentage. So when you sell it, you're gonna know what you're gonna make it. Okay, Well, then I guess would make sense. I'm gonna be, you know, trying to get more. Get close. I'm in tune now. The trouble I'm about to get rich man, this is what I'm talking about. You learn
one thing, and how did richness come? Because you understand that when you understand the worth and the value that you have right and you utilize that the multifaceted that our lives are, that we have things that possess that are going to be historical sometimes and right now, if we utilize those things and make those n f T s at this time, we can get a lot of money. You know what I probably could have sold as an n f T me the you know, um well, I don't know. I was gonna say for the Women's March.
You know, I wrote my speech that first exactly that you still sell it that That's what I'm trying to tell you. Understanding, you know who cares now, it's the people that love that speech and they're like, well, oh my god, I want that speech. And you put twenty of them as on in and then, pep, you can't put twenty of them if you wrote only one. Only one is the original, the all originals, because they you are giving them. You have to write it again and
again and again. You can create. It's like books. If you put twelve with your books on the thing and you sell them, what's your autograph on it? And these are only they have their number that says this is the number only. These are only. These are authentic. The blockchain were authenticated. It stays there. Somebody buys it from you. But I thought the purpose of it is that it is this my physical speech that I wrote. There's only one of those, but it doesn't matter if it's only one.
It's you, all right, and you signed. It's just like when you go to the thing. Somebody got ten ten pictures of the man like this and he signs over right. Okay, So then that means that I have to duplicate it. Somehow, you duplicated by something every time you duplicated. I think you're not understand what I'm saying. I'm saying I physically sat with a pen and paper and I wrote with a pen the speech. So I'm thinking that the value is that it is the the original. So how do
I sell you can original? Because you still it's like you duplicated. You can duplicate the one thing that you had. You you signed all of these tents. This is the same thing that you are putting out to the world. But people can say only tenities in the world. What do you mean it can't be because I have to write it ten times? Don't have to What do you mean? It's that he said the nineteen keys to unlock the physical,
you use the digital to unlock the physical. Okay, So I got I only have one piece of paper in my house that the speeches on. So you tell me how I'm gonna get that to ten people. What I'm trying to tell you is copy machine. You can you and recreate it like you can. You can copy it, but and you sign it. Right, it's your sick, it's authenticated.
It's a lot of people like me that needed explain in five and six different ways, and I don't appreciate there was the main one that's on the paper you can sell at a remarkable Oh now you want to go to can because now it's the main paper. You can say for this month that I can physically send you the original paper, but you can have just like
when people have copies of the picture they signed. Just having just having those words and know that there was authenticated by you, that came from you and the only place they can get it is from you gives it the value to me. All right, Okay, well you know I still have questions, but but I'm getting better, so that's enough. Anyway, Thank you for another dope episode. We appreciate you'all for always supporting us man. Shout out to
nineteen Keys, Shout out to your brother down pool. You know could tendue to educate us man because I'm ready. I'm about to take over, you know, hopefully Dog will give me one of these memberships, you know, and for the people. You know what I'm saying, give one for the people that we could get the high level experience. But um, you know, it's always a pleasure talking to
your brothers to be educated. And yes, we got some man, we're gonna come up with some women that you know about these spaces and we're gonna be interviewing them real soon. But in the meantime, keep supporting us, keep showing us love. Tell us what you hate, tell us what you love.
