And the reason why I'm saying big round plause to Beyonce because 36 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,039 her coming from a group called Destiny Child. She's really like like like the 37 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:19,280 first one of the first black women from you know, the last two decades 38 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:29,000 of relevant pop all this music that's still relevant that's not like white like Tyler 39 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,319 Swift. You understand however that came off. It is what it is. 40 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,120 It ain't no pun attending. Y'all know what I'm giving up shade, So 41 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,599 you know what I'm saying. That ain't funny. I'm just saying like, 42 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:44,719 like from what I've seen, she is like that came or a female artist 43 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,719 that was in a group of three or more and then went out and ventured 44 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:52,479 out and stood on her own and it's still relevant. I don't care what 45 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,719 the hell y'all say. You understand what I'm saying. And that's not funny. 46 00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:58,280 But anyway, like I said, Yo, it's Black History Month, 47 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,960 baby, looking shof's Black History Month to shuffle black excellence and we still celebrating 48 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,719 Black History Month. And tonight I got I got an interest in list for 49 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,800 y'all. You understand what I'm saying. I got an interest in list for 50 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:16,639 y'all. And you know with this list, it's putting out some black icons 51 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,240 that were the first to do a lot of things man or in different type 52 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,600 of categories. And all I'm doing is describing just to give you motivation, 53 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,399 you know what I'm saying, yet again to let you know that it's not 54 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,079 about where you came from, but you must know your past, but it's 55 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,759 about where you're going. But you're not gonna capitalize off of where you're going 56 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,199 in your future if you don't capitalize on the present time, right now and 57 00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:48,800 just getting up off your rod's clock and starting whatever it is that you're gonna 58 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,160 start. I don't care if you finish. Start you your own or you 59 00:04:54,199 --> 00:05:00,240 know, like recording studio or filming studio or you know what I'm saying saying, 60 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,920 or or whether there's a business, get into stocks, go back to 61 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,120 schools, start working out, you know what I'm saying. But that's like 62 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,000 minor things compared to doing big things like like being the first to like start 63 00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:16,879 your own diamond district company. Man like, like it can be done. 64 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:23,199 You understand what I'm saying, or like being the first to actually or start 65 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,720 your own you understand what I'm saying, or or I don't know texture of 66 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,000 gold or or you know, or like a grade of gold or something. 67 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,839 Man, I'm just trying to come up ahead and be innovative and creative because 68 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:44,759 it sounds preposterous and it sounds wild, but it could be done. It 69 00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:47,199 could be done. It could be done, especially when you were a being, 70 00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:59,360 Like how we are you understand what I'm saying? And yeah, and 71 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:03,079 a proof of that that comes from these three icons that I'm sharing, you 72 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:09,680 know, or tonight this episode tonight about it's about three individuals, Williams, 73 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:18,160 Jay Bates, George Crumb, and Oscar Marshaul. Okay, big run of 74 00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:23,959 a plot for that three black icons, and I'm just gonna break down to 75 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,800 you what they did. Okay, So Williams J. Bates, he was 76 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,759 the first black architect to become a member of the American Institute of Architects. 77 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:38,639 Okay, Now you gotta put your you gotta put yourself inside the mind of 78 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,439 an individual who probably who probably was raised and was segrogated. Okay, you 79 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,480 know when it was a Jim Crow law and things in America was actually like 80 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,399 segregated. You know what I'm saying with blacks and whites. You know, 81 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,240 the whites drink here, he here, the blacks over here. And then 82 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,000 and then came out of that era. He was either a child and when 83 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,800 is that era or that eraror just like was abolished, that law was abolished. 84 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,000 And he was a black man who said that he actually wanted to be 85 00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:15,800 an architect and build things and you know what I'm saying, like write blueprints 86 00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,839 for buildings and houses and things, and that he did this all through Hollywood. 87 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,079 Okay, but William J. Bates from his area in his time. 88 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,399 He was actually first black architect to become a member of the American Institute of 89 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Architects. That's major. That's major. And you got to understand what area 90 00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:39,879 that he came from and he pulled this off. So you got to let 91 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,279 that, you know, like sink inside your head that you can be the 92 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,639 first to do anything that they're telling you that you can't do, because I 93 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,480 know for sure at that time they was telling every black damned person they couldn't 94 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:57,800 come to the American Institute of Architects and guess what William J. Bates did 95 00:07:57,879 --> 00:07:59,959 that. Okay, look a shop for him. Man, it's black kid, 96 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,079 should be we celebrate black excellence. Huh, jail yo, I'm gonna 97 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,800 tell you this. Next person on this list George Crumb. He is the 98 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:18,759 first African American who invented the potato chip in eighteen fifty three. Home boy. 99 00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:26,519 Huh that's powerful. That is powerful, George Crumb, y'all gonna do 100 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,399 y'all research. Man, You know what I'm saying. It hit different when 101 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,960 I give you these these icons, and then you gonna go do the knowledge 102 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,039 yourself and then you implement you know what I'm seeing their examples inside your life, 103 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,799 man. George Crumb, he was the first African American who invented the 104 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,679 potato chip in eighteen fifty three. We eat potato chips to this damn day, 105 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,159 home boy, all types of flavors of potato chips. Okay. So 106 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,879 you know you gotta just let that burn inside your mind, and you got 107 00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:56,879 to know and understand that. You know, if you can believe it, 108 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,399 you can conceive it, and if you could conceive it, you can bring 109 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,440 it into actual flutation and manifested all the thing you gotta do is just see 110 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,320 it inside your mind. And once you sit inside your mind and use your 111 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,039 imagination, you understand what I'm saying, it's gonna manifest on the outside of 112 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:16,759 you even become a reality. In the situations of what's needed to actually manifest 113 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:20,679 those things, you're gonna be guided to it, so you don't need to 114 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,320 worry about the whereabouts or how. I don't think William J. Bates was, 115 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,159 you know, fearful about how he was gonna become the first black architect 116 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,039 to become the member you know what I'm saying, to become a member of 117 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,360 the American Institutional argentages he used to apply to himself. He had imagination, 118 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,440 He's seen the vision applied himself. I don't think George Crumb when he created 119 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,360 the potato chip and invented the potato chips in eighteen fifty five, you know 120 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,879 what I'm saying, like thought about who would try to get in his way 121 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,960 or anything. He pictured some damn chips made from potatoes, you know what 122 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,639 I'm saying, and he went the work and he manifested in this around to 123 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,720 this day. So you got to let that be. You know, you're 124 00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:07,919 burning desire from these icons to build up your strength to act upon your dreams 125 00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:11,919 and your hopes and your expiration. I don't care how crazy it sound. 126 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,320 Listen. If your dream don't scare you, it's not big enough, man, 127 00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:20,039 it's not big enough. And I didn't understand that until I actually started 128 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,559 dreaming even bigger this year and a lot of my dreams, a lot of 129 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,720 things I see inside of mine. It's actually fucking scaring me. Man, 130 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,960 I'm not gonna lie to you. It's scaring me, you know what I'm 131 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,440 saying. But it never scared me into this year right here. Well it 132 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,320 did a little bit last year. I ain't gonna he shit is really really 133 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,679 scaring the hell out of me. You understand what I'm saying. So that's 134 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,320 how I know that my dreams are real, real big. You understand. 135 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,240 And then here's the last on the list. Okay, Oscar My Show, 136 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,360 Oscar My Show, Oscar My Show. He was the first movie company owned 137 00:10:54,519 --> 00:11:00,759 and controlled by black filmmakers, and he produced more than four or they for 138 00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:07,080 films. Man, that's mazing, you heard it, I say, because 139 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,919 everybody you know, like like I mean, all these people that done got 140 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,919 put on give them been doing anything in Hollywood and things, and that they 141 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,559 got so much to say about Hollywood, right and about the people that's there, 142 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,080 and about how, you know, like they ain't getting the money that 143 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:28,480 they feel like they deserve and they're making all these excuses. But this right 144 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,360 here is a motivation to me to let me know that you understand what I'm 145 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:37,600 saying. If Oscar my Show can be the first movie company owned and controlled 146 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,840 by black filmmakers, and he produced more than forty four films, man I 147 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:46,840 can do the same thing as me being CEO Fortune with the platforms that I 148 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:52,240 have right now, and and and and me growing and learning with experience and 149 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:54,559 me networking and me and me doing my thing, that I can do the 150 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:07,720 same thing. And you gotta don't understand these black folks, these black people 151 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,360 that did these things when it when man a nigga, a nigga was getting 152 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,559 killed and slammer for even trying to read. And god damn right, and 153 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,960 our ancestor is the one who invented, you know what I'm saying, the 154 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:26,399 concept of actually recording words and thoughts on paper with the popular see that they 155 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,720 that they made into paper. That's where that concept of creating paper came from 156 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:33,720 It came from the Egyptus, you understand what I'm saying. So they have 157 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000 that type legacy snatched away from you and then actually brainwashed, and it told 158 00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,840 that you couldn't do these things and then come out that era and then start 159 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,240 establishing yourself and being the first black to do a lot of things inside of 160 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,240 America. Man, that's powerful. So that lets me know that it can 161 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,679 be continued and done right now to this day. So that's why I got 162 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,919 this deep burning desire that nothing is not gonna stop me from achieving my dreams 163 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,600 and my goal and for taking this right here top of the food chain to 164 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,559 tame to the next level. And you shouldn't. That didn't stop you anything 165 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:07,480 stopping either because William J. Bates didn't stop. That didn't stop him being 166 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,799 black. They didn't stop him for being the first architect you know what I'm 167 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,919 saying, accept it into the American institutional architects.
