WHOA, yeah, 156 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.480 all right, so what were you doing now? I had 157 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.079 started on the workfloor and I was doing like production 158 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.319 and packaging, and then I got to move up into 159 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:37.800 like contracts and ad men. 160 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.399 You're making good money, decent money. 161 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.639 I was making decent money that I thought was good 162 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.399 money because like in a hood, ain't nobody got no money, 163 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.639 So you think you really making money until you start 164 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:49.480 making money and you. 165 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:54.079 Like, bro, I wasn't making no money, right, right, right, 166 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.839 that's true.

That's a leap, man. 169 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.600 It was a big leap for me, especially because like 170 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.800 I was using my job to fund my journey. So 171 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.879 all those my first shows, I was taking the money 172 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.800 from my job to fund it. So when it was like, man, 173 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.160 I'm gonna lose my job, I made a promise to 174 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.639 myself that I would work, you know, twice as hard. 175 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:20.040 Win or lose. 176 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.000 I love the line win, not win or lose, just win, 177 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.839 just win. Well, there's no loss, there's only lessons, right 178 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.600 you heard. Yeah, Man, it's the biggest lesson so far. 179 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.800 I know you've been through it and you're smiling through it, 180 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:36.800 which I can appreciate. 181 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.680 The biggest lesson so far. 182 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.240 Whether it's through a major conversations. 183 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.480 Man, I think I think the biggest lesson is just 184 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.959 to be authentic, Like I've I've gotten so many opportunities 185 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.439 because I'm a Russell, not because I'm a rapper, not 186 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.519 because I do strong, because I'm not performed, but because 187 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.160 people love Larussell as the being you know, Like I 188 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.519 don't have a big song or a million strings, I 189 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.680 don't have no hit. I am my biggest song. I 190 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.040 am that thing that people think of, and being authentic 191 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.120 has gotten me further than I could have ever got 192 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:21.439 in through marketing or digital campaigns or hits. It's just 193 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.240 it changed everything for me.
