See our brand ambassador and she's also a collaboration is a jack of all trades. Rock and do the time time. - Welcome, thank you. - All right, and time for it. We have a potential new course in Jeremiah Brown, our guest for today. And I want to thank Jeremiah for coming in in the grand to be interviewed by us and hopefully he will be out. What about it? Hopefully, hopefully. (laughs) Okay? All right, but let's say right now I'm going to tell you how to bring this together over to you, a little bio of Jeremiah Brown. - Okay, Jeremiah Brown, welcome, welcome to this Walk Weekly Podcast. Jeremiah Brown, 24 years old from Williamson, North Carolina, a small town where she spent her younger years there later with her single mother moving back and forth to Greegle and to Raleigh. She attended Daniel Middle School and night deal high school in the Raleigh area graduating in 2018. She's our mother's only child, terrorist Reddit, it's mine and he's. And she had five siblings from her father's side. She said, "I had a pretty easy going childhood. "I was most a shy and quiet child. "I enjoyed being and keeping to myself "and I'm still that way as a young woman. "I typically like to stay to myself "in my own little bubble. "After high school, I did a 10-page community college "in Greenwood, North Carolina to take up nursing. "But I became a young first-time young mother "with my first child around that time. "After that, I took a break from college "because I went into post-partum depression, "was overwhelmed as being a first-time mom "at a young age. "Now I'm a mother of two." She says that she took a break from college and went through a post-partum depression and was overwhelmed as a first-time young mom. She now has two children, her second child, a year ago. And her babies is her world. She keeps on going and doing everything for them with her faith in God. She has a vision of that. One day she will accomplish her goals and give her kids a great, deserved life, educating them and teaching them about generational wealth. She's also employed now with her first LLC as a documentation specialist. And she says that this has changed her life experience which helped her also in fostering her already interest in mental health illness. She has her own CEO of her own bouquet business named Deluxe Studio. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. When she started this business in 2021, and she also sells Women Apparel and Assessment Online, her website, she has listed as WWDXESTstudios.shop. Her being a young entrepreneur and working in one is not always easy. She says that she has her ups and downs, but over the years she's learned a lot and the main key is to stay consistent. She says that she managed to push through and she gets up every day to work on her goals and accomplishment with them. She's becoming her own boss with her dreams since she was 17 to 18 years old. Wow. She says she's always wanting her own clothing brands and to just help women feel their best. Each day she, with her business, she knows she says that she's there in risk and taking and money sometimes has to be invested in order to make money. She also is currently a graph designer. She says that in the process of spreading her wings more with that venture, she serves as she offers or her services office, a website and business cards and flyers and more. Her goal right now is to make a difference in other people lives. And she's in the process of starting her own podcast in a future called Black Girls Culture. She's very interested in mental health still and feels that if she could talk about it, she could use her podcast to talk about it because so many people are dealing with this issue. Mental health is a serious condition she says and this is one of her reasoning for starting the podcast is to have open and safe space for venting and spreading awareness to things that people can talk about enough among their families. She also said to me that she has said to us that she's focusing on a new business of mental health with her family and being a mom. That's a major focus right now. And she's enrolling in college in the future either back into nursing or psychology. - All right, I watched for her podcast. She did a YouTube longer up there, but it was great. It was fantastic, so it's a very talented individual and we'd like to welcome her to the Walk Weekly, hopefully, she will accept our offer. And they said, "I am going to try it over to Jamiah Bell." One of our co-hosts, but remotely. (laughing) The young announcement that we've been targeting for five years. We've been out here five years, folks, and we finally got somebody that can group with it that target bromagraphic that we've been shooting for all these years. And she's in her laboratory and she knows a lot of people, and hopefully it will help because we can reach those young folks, okay? So this is Jamiah Bell, folks, and she's a pilot. How you doing? - Hello, Jamiah. - Hello, you know, I'm so happy when the art told me that you were willing to entertain the idea of being a co-hosts on the Walk Weekly, I was excited because I know what you represent and know how smart you are. And still, look what we get into questions, Jamiah. Tell them a little bit about yourself. - Okay, so yes, my name is Jamiah Bell. I am 24 years old. So a little bit about me. I was raised and born and raised for my young few years in Williamson, North Carolina. I spent most of my young years there and I went from Greenville moved. I moved a lot as a young child. I went from Greenville, North Carolina to Raleigh. So as far as schools, I was kind of back and forth, but, you know, I've made friends pretty easily. I went to Daniels Middle School in Raleigh, around 6th grade, and then I moved back to Greenville around high school, like 9th grade, and back to Mike Bell High School for like 11 and 12th grade. And I graduated in 2018 at Mike Bell High School. I had a pretty easy going childhood. I was the child person, just like I kind of am now as a young adult, I'm quiet and to myself, but I can become open, you know, once I'm around someone for a while, I get talking and, you know, I do have two kids, one is five years old, one is one years old. I have my five year old when I was young, about 18. I did attend to community college going in for nursing when I was pregnant with her. When I had her, I did, you know, take a little break. I just got overwhelmed and it's a lot being a young, you know, young mother. - Oh, absolutely, I realize it. - Yes, yeah. So I've had time to, you know, think over the years and with being a mom and working and everything, I've had time to think and, you know, I'm thinking about enrolling back in college soon to take on, even nursing again, psychology or business. Those are my three, you know, choices. And I just wanna, you know, give my kids the best life I can and get myself out here in the world too, as well right now and on business, I'm really into like business and mental health. I wanna, you know, start a whole podcast. I'm still focusing on that. So yeah, I have a lot of different, right now I'm kind of everywhere, honestly. I'm not gonna lie. - Oh, yeah, she's young, yeah, baby. - No, yeah, definitely. You just gotta put your mind on something. And one thing I used to tell myself, in my third, actually, in late 30s, if you saw something I got to finish it. I had a tendency of not finishing anything. And I start and I stop. But I would determine, all right, to finish my undergrad when I was going to undergrad, I was going to school when I got, I went for my master's, I was determined to finish. I would say to myself, but sorry, somebody got to finish. So, you know, I did finish my, I got a bachelor's, I got an MBA, I'm a, I'm a, you know, not doing, I'm just not about me, but I just sort of lay some out there. Everybody is that, you know, you just gotta do it. You know, when you can play it all in your mind and somebody do this, until you execute, until you execute, that doesn't mean anything. You have all the ideas in the world. You gotta execute, all right. So, to Maya, I want you to tell us about your experiences as a young lady starting a business. I know you started a podcast and you got to, I want to talk about that. But right now, what your regular business is, tell me what problems are you encountering and how are you overcoming those obstacles or to what you want to do. - Okay, so to start my business, I did start my business in 2021. And actually, with my business that I started in 2021, it was under another name, the name's Luxor Shaw. And at first, for the first few years, you know, again, I had my daughter in 2018. And when I started my business in 2021, around that time, not to jump everywhere, but in 2021, when I did start, I was on the, in the phase of my life where I was kind of getting back to myself and understanding, you know who I am and a part of from being a mother, I was, you know, focusing on business and getting back to myself. So everything was rolling really well. And again, like you spoke on, sometimes we get in, I have, sometimes I have a mindset where I would start something and not finish, like I'll start and stop. With that, I did take a little break with business. Prop, that's the problem. One of our problems I have encountered with business, I have stopped, started something and then stopped. Not because I don't think I can finish it, but just because I feel like my mind is not in the right-hand space sometimes with it. But something in me just always pick myself up and keep going. So with my business now with the LUP Studios, I did rebrand and I revamped. And that is why I'm just LUP Studios now, with my PT business and my graphic design. So that's it. - Hey, where about your podcast? Where about your podcast? - The podcast, I started this year. That was also, as well under another name, Black Girl Unleashed, as it was. You know, things didn't work out sometimes. - Yeah, I really like that show, man. I thought it was nice. - Guys, they're living. But anyway, tell us what happened with that. - Definitely, you know, everything's going good, but you know, some things just don't work out the way you want them to. And, you know, sometimes you're just not on the same page with things and, you know, and that's okay. And I try not to let that discourage me because at first it did a little bit. But, you know, I prayed and I revamped and I brought again, picked myself back up. I'm not going to stop. So I'd have, you know, rebranding to another name as Black Girl Culture podcast. We talk about filming next month, hopefully. - All right, good stuff. - Yeah. - Good stuff. - All right, I got some questions for you. - Okay. - And I would like to know, you know, what inspired you to start your boutique business and do love studios? - Okay, well, when I was around 17, 18 years old, I actually had someone that inspired me a lot. Is this young lady, she's from Atlanta, Georgia, actually, is a funny story. She used to go about more Jada, known as Jada Chivas now. I'm not sure if any, you know, she's a young entrepreneur, she's right now. But a lot of my inspiration honestly came from her as far as like seven clothes. She was, you know, selling t-shirts and things. And that kind of inspired me a little bit. But then also, again, to help women feel their best in clothing and, you know, plus size, petite size, just to, you know, have women feel their best. So that's kind of where most of my inspiration and, you know, have started a boutique business. - Okay. And how do you balance being a mother to working at Hope First, LLC, earning a boutique business and pursuing graphic designing? How do you, how do you manage that? - Ooh, it's definitely not easy at all, okay. But, you know, with a positive mindset, faith in God, making sure I just, you know, stay on my feet, keep myself busy, honestly. That is my main key, keeping myself busy. So I'm not, you know, lost in the sauce and in my head. I have to just keep going. I, you know, I know my kids are looking up to me. I got to, you know, give them the best, you know, they have what they want to need. So that's definitely one of my, you know, focuses and goals, make sure my kids are set for life and making sure they're set for life, meaning working, getting these businesses up and running. And, you know, so they have something. And I'm not here, they'll be set. - All right, right. All right, can you tell us more about your upcoming podcast, Black Girl Culture and what topics you plan to cover? I know you alluded to some of it already, but let's clarify that a little bit. - Right, so Black Girl Culture, like I said, the podcast that I started in the beginning, it was a little shaky things and work out. So I had some time to think as far as, you know, rebranding some Black Girl Culture. And we would definitely be hitting topics on mental health for sure. I'm a big mental health, you know, I'm big on that. I feel like mental health isn't talked about enough because I've dealt with it. And I know, you know, I just want to open up a safe space for people to listen or even express their feelings. And just hear, you know, spread awareness on mental health. I know how it is sometimes not feeling like you have that open space. You know, not wanting to reach out for help or feeling alone. And I just want people to know that, you know, they're not alone and it's okay to reach out for help. So mental health, definitely motherhood, I would want to, you know, touch on that a little bit. Mainly that life, just being a young adult as well, you know, as young adults out here, you know, with the world the way it is now, as young adults, it's what kind of struggle I feel like is, you know, we're definitely trying to make a way and figure out things. So I just want to be an open space for that to let people know they're not alone. Excellent, I'd like your approach. I'd like your vision. - Yes. - How has your experience with postpartum depression shaped your views on mental health and influenced your decision to start a podcast on that topic? - So with, with my first, like I said, in my bio, and I did go through postpartum depression. And with my first, I felt like I definitely went through that like heavy. Honestly, and I didn't even recognize it until later. When I had my second, I was still, and I'm only a year out, my year postpartum right now. So I've actually been kind of dealing with, you know, anxiety and depression and, you know, it's not easy. So that has definitely just, you know, shaped me to look at mental health differently because I know how when I had my first and I was going through postpartum depression, again, I didn't recognize it. And, but a lot of the symptoms that I were having of just, you know, being in the house are not really, you know, not myself mentally, just not there. And a few years later, I finally, you know, got back to myself, I got some help. And now with, after my having my second, I'm not going through it as rough as I did because I have recognized the symptoms and the signs to get help, you know. - Period. - So it's important to me. - That's right. - Yeah. - But, you know, I've always said, Gemaya, I've always said, and this is my position on mental health. It's that if you're African-American, you're automatically mentally challenged. - Right. - Okay. I mean, with all the ratios and all of the things that we are subject to, you know, we're the walking wounded. That's what I call it. - Right. - It's a walking wound in this country in terms of mental health, mental capacity, okay? It's been eroded by, it's just in that we live in. You know, discrimination, it's gonna affect you. You get into elevators, a man and a white person is in there, a white lady, and they move to the other side of the elevator. You know, and all that kind of stuff, and you walk down the street, and they walk on the other side of the street, and all those things affect you. - Right. - Whether you're directly confronted with it or not, it's gonna affect you. - Yeah. - All right. And so that's, we need mental health right now. We need mental health, come with you. - Absolutely, yes. - All right. We need to see a psychiatrist because you don't know how it may manifest itself in the future. - This is true. - All right. Because it's very frustrating, you know, I've never had my career in financial services with over the course of 30 years, and I know what I went through, okay? But fortunately, I had a foundation of how I was raised to deal with it, and that's what I'm trying to provide. My grandchildren and great grandchildren deal with that foundation. - Right, that's right. - Okay? And that way they can take on the world, you know, another way of saying that they could, they could be out there, they could be strong, you know what I mean? - Exactly. - And that's what I want the old guys, you know, the younger generation to understand that it won't be clear, it's about our descendants, about our generations to come, you know, about our grandkids, our great-grandkids, our great-great-grandkids, on down the line. - Right. - Or should I say, on up the line? I don't know. But anyway, that is what we challenge with, all right? And we need to find a way to address that because it's very open, you know, it's not good. - Okay. - And how do you do a Juneteenth? Did you do any celebration of Juneteenth yesterday? - Actually, I actually just spent time with my kids. We went out together and just enjoyed each other's time. We went out to eat, and, you know, I took them outside of the snow cones and to play and stuff, so that's all I did. It's been time when you didn't compliment my kids. Did you guys-- - What did you do, Brizzy? - No. - What did you do? - I worked. (laughing) - Oh, okay. I've never had a work. I've never had a work. - Yeah. - I worked out, but I worked out. - I worked out there, wasn't it? Yesterday to stop marking with clothes. - Yes. - When you were following with the girls. - Yes. - It was a really nice day yesterday. - Yes, it was. - It was beautiful. Time to remember, always. - All right. You know, here's a question that, you know, just treat it for what it's for, all right? And it's important that our audience, you know, kicks up on this. What challenges have you faced as a young entrepreneur? And how have you overcome them? All right. I know you said that you start and you start and stop, you start and stop. - Yes. - But give me an example, how you overcame a challenge. - Um, so what child, actually, I'm actually one doing challenge as we speak. - Okay. - What businesses is, again, like I say, it's a risk and it takes money to make money. So, you know, invest in it. And right now, I am, again, like I said, I've always started and stopped. And with me now, I actually just invested in, you know, a bulk of clothing. 'Cause that's how, you know, I run my BT, got normally, you know, invest money to make it. And right now, I feel like it has kind of slowed down a little bit, my business. Only because of the stopping and starting. It's, you know, that's definitely, you know, a challenge. So the way I normally, again, the way I normally try to overcome that is keep a positive mindset that tries to get up every day and put yourself and keep going, because it takes consistency of marketing and promoting. And that's, you know, a challenge that I kind of deal with is marketing and promoting. I'll, again, stay consistent for a while and I make more of it because I'm a little discouraged or something and, you know, I have to take my son back up to try and keep going. But the model that I live by is that every day is a new day to start over. So I give myself grace and let myself know, you know, your mother, you have a lot going on. It's a lot to balance life being a mother of owning businesses. So, you know, give yourself grace and know that, you know, I'm doing okay. As long as I keep going, I don't give up. - So how do you go about prioritizing, you know, what you have to do first? When you wake up in the morning, what do you do? - First thing I do is get my kids ready up, dressed, ready to get off the daycare. I come back, I normally try to clean or, you know, get things straighten around the house, things that I couldn't do the night before. Again, with kids, it's a lot trying to move, maneuver around and do things. So after I drop them off, I come back straighten up. I know I'm gonna try to get work done. I get it, that's when I have my computer time, do work, promote, you know, I try to have a schedule for myself, and sometimes that's hard to, because sometimes I get off schedule. As it may be things I have to do during the day, appointments or something, dealing with the kids, and, you know, sometimes that schedule's a little off, so that's something else I'm working on with myself as well, is just staying consistent in any aspect of life, not just in business, just anything in life, so. - Absolutely. I totally agree with that. I mean, you have to be consistent. - Yes. - And just take this podcast. Five years we've been doing what we could podcast. Five years, mind you. We haven't made any dime, because if you don't know, we haven't made any money, but, you know, it's good that we give and try to give back to, you know, our community. That's most important to me, you know what I mean? And hopefully we can monetize a couple of some of the expenses that we have been incurring over the years, but it's all good, right? - Right. - You know, long term people will get what I think, and this is what I think, so you try to push out information that we think is valuable, that people share, right? All you don't want to think about, you know? You know, just like, you know, I may throw it out and stuff like, okay, you know, the election is coming up. Everybody should be registered by now that, you know, eligible to vote, especially if you're black. Even if you don't vote, I'm not telling you about Biden. I'm telling you to participate in the process. - Right. - Vote for whoever you want, but please understand the candidate's position, and you vote. That's your obligation. You walk out, you vote, and you walk out, and your candidate doesn't win, so you try your best. - Right, every vote matters. - Right, so I'm urging our audience to go out there if you're not registered, register to vote, and vote, come and lecture that. - Please vote. - Yes, right. - Please, even to my younger generation, that's something, definitely, that needs to be spoken to. Younger generation, please vote. - Yes, I know what we could. I'm just apolitical, you know, we're not-- - That's right, no particular size. - No particular size. - And you can't do anything like that. - Just vote. - Anybody might vote, and be involved in understanding issues, all right? - Right. - Okay, all right. So, Tamaya, I want to ask you a couple more questions. What advice do you give to all the mothers who are trying to balance motherhood, work, and persuade their dreams? - My number one advice is never give up on yourself. That's one thing, 'cause between balancing being a mother and everything else that we have going on in life, we typically lose ourself first, that's where it starts. We lose ourselves, so my advice, the smallest, the smallest things matter. In the morning, get yourself together, put on something nice, do your makeup, anything that makes you feel good, thinking about yourself, number one. Number two, you know, you try your best as a mother. You know, as long as kids are, they're fed, they have a group over there in it, you're doing the best you can, that's all you can do. You don't know, I don't, as a young mother, I stress a lot with certain things, but something that I try not to really worry about is whether my kids are, I'm not really, how can I put this, not really worrying more so about certain things of my kids, because they have a group over their head, you know, they have a clue on that, that food on the table, the simple things, the basic simple things that need a life, you know, I'm blessed for those small things, and I do the best, I can, you know, as a mother, and also some other advice, we get tired, and that is okay, you know, sometimes it is okay to take a day to yourself, that's something else that, you know, as young mothers, I feel like me, we try to do a lot or, you know, not really give myself grace and have time to yourself, that's something I've challenged with too, as well, but I take my time, you know, again, like I said, when they're off the daycare, if I need time to myself, I will take that time to myself. So, and that's how I balance being a mom, and, you know, in life in general, I take my time out some time, my mental health break, that if I need that, I get that done. Go out, take myself out, eat, nails done, something, you know, get dressed up in order to go outside, get a fresh air, you know, and just take some time to myself so I can be a better mom and balance work, mom, you know, businesses and everything else. - Okay, okay, now I got one more question for you. (laughs) All right, can you share a memorable moment of success that you had with your being an entrepreneur, rather? - Let's see, honestly, a lot of my memorable moments. Again, right now I'm working on things, but back in when I first started my business, a few years after that, the first maybe two, three years, two, I say the first two years is going really well. I think you did accomplish a lot of, you know, sellouts, and I can buy bulk items and I sell out, so that was a big accomplishment for me. - Excellent. - Yeah. - Excellent. - Yes. - You know, I feel like I'm trying to get myself back to that. Back to the moments where, you know, I'm back, everything's running good and not sending nothing that's running good now, but you know, I'm just having my ups and downs right now, but I'm gonna get through it. - Excellent. I'm very proud of you. - Excellent. - Yeah. - Very proud. - Good foot. You know what I mean? I see you got, your vision is on point, you know what I mean? 'Cause it's a matter of crawling through now, right? - Right, yes. Yeah. - Okay. All right. And that just ties in and say, going into my last question, what motivates you to keep pushing forward and pursuing your goals despite the challenges you face? - That one was a good user with my kids. - There you go. - That's what keep me going, that's... - There you go. - That's my world, that's my motivation, that's anytime I'm falling down or I have a down moment, I just try to think. Why you got two littles, lookin' up to you, you know, get up, make a happen. So... - Excellent. I know I have that favor. I'm so excited when I talk to young people and young entrepreneurs, and so I get very excited. So my, you know, one of my worries all the time, it's excellent, excellent, excellent, because I try to focus on the young people. - Right. - All right. And help them try to navigate, you know, the environment that we're in, which is, as a young person, I didn't go through what your guys had to go through. - Very simple, like, right? - See, and that's what I kind of, definitely like to talk about a lot, to even down to, like, my podcast, I kind of wanna speak on things like that as well, with, you know, back then, you know, when y'all were younger, I feel like, it's way different now. It's way different, a little bit. You know, it's certain things that we don't have to deal with that, you know, well, certainly that y'all didn't have to deal with that, we deal with now. - Yes, yes. And I feel like a lot of us, the younger generations, don't really know how to handle that sometimes. Sometimes, like, we get to be overwhelming, or we struggle in certain areas, and don't know how to deal with it. But, you know, it's like, we're pushing through the, I can't say we're a strong generation, because we get through it. - Yeah. - Yeah, we all had our challenges. - No, we had our challenges. - Yeah, definitely, yeah. - You'll get through it. The press appearance is always my favorite word. When challenges come from, and we can talk about, when we're in our twenties and thirties, but as each group of years or centuries that we enter into, that those challenges is what comes with us persevering through life and through the situations. And that's how most of the time our success comes. - Exactly, yes indeed, but it's very complex. I feel almost sorry for the younger folks, that, you know, we came up, I think you can distribute a lot of that to social media. - Yeah. - Introducing the internet. It's just exponentially broadened everybody's scope, right? - Mm-hmm. - So that's what I think, and we didn't have that, you know, and another thing too is that everybody's so on, on connecting to the internet all the time, all the time, all the time. - All the time. - But we were growing up, you know, we were connected to the outset, you know, in your moment they'd go out and play and be back before dark, right? - Mm-hmm. - And that's what we did. We were playing on the woods, especially when we came, but we had a very, I mean, I don't want to braid, but we had an excellent job. Even though it was segregation during the time. - Oh yeah, beautiful job. - Yeah, we didn't have, we don't care whether we were integrating, we didn't want to be integrated. So, you know, I hear white people sometimes, and this is no, no, no, I'm not hating on white people, don't get me wrong, okay? But the thing is, is that with us, we don't really care to what's the term I'm looking for, lend them to our simile into white culture. We don't, I don't care about doing that, I don't want to do that. - Mm-hmm. - I don't want to assimilate. Yeah, I mean, they'd let them assimilate, you know what I mean? So I just want them, you know, people to know that, you know, people don't want to hand out, we don't want anything. We just need to give us an even playing field level, playing field, right? And then we can go from there. - Mm-hmm. - So that's, that is very important to me, that young guys don't have some of those, you've got enough problems. - That's right, right? - Okay, that you've got to navigate through and try to resolve, okay? - Yeah, if you definitely hit it on the hill with the social media, that's- - Yeah, social media. - Yeah, everything's exposed. And not only that, but it just affects our, again, mental health, it can affect your mental health, it affects mindsets or, you know, certain things that's trending and everybody want to hop on and trend. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Like the dudes, you know? - Like the dudes. - Yeah. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. - Something else that's like, you know, something I've had to realize that sometimes it's so, that social media can be a big distraction. But I can say with business, I feel like you need it. Because, you know, as far as with marketing and promoting, that it's something that, the younger generation that's heavy on too, is promoting and marketing on social media. But I feel like you just have to kind of balance your screen time. And that's something I've been doing as a young adult, trying to, you know, tap back into my mental, you know, get my mind back right. I have been detaching myself a little bit from social media. So I have my time where I try to promote my business. But after that, I try to get off. I spend time off of it. You know, so you just have to, you know, sometimes some of us balance it out instead. - Mm-hmm. All right, Brian, you have any questions towards your mic? - Well, I think you, I think, I'm gonna do pretty much, (laughing) - You probably go on cobrails, all right? - Yes, I feel like that you cover a lot of the questions that I actually had written down. But one question I did have that's going back to your business. And I wanted to ask you that how did you establish your culture? And when I say that, I'm meaning translating your personal values, values, your vision, your expectation into your businesses. - So you, I'm sorry, repeat the question one more time. - My question was, how did you establish your culture when I said, and more focusing on your generation when you was building your business system and simplify it a little bit? Do you, what kind of values did you put in your own or personal value or visions that you install in that business? - So a lot of it, that's hard to put in words as far as that, with certain values and stuff, a lot of, honestly, what I've already spoke on go into my businesses or what I sit back and think of, you know, with certain visions and things, I just, again, like I'm trying to help everyone around me or things that I've been through. Like, I'm just trying to make sure no one feels alone as far as that's where the podcast is, as far as like my other businesses. - Yeah, that's a hard question. - Oh, I'm sorry, it's sweetie. - Well, just talk about your values that you put in your business. You know, when we start, anything that we start, we have a base value that we put in. - Yeah, Brooke. - When I say out to you, basic mission, that's exactly right, your mission. - Okay, well, yeah, I mean, a lot of what I've already told you. Do you use your old school values like we taught you or you can like have your own made values that you put in the business or even when you're moaning your family. - It's a mixture of both because nowadays with me being, you know, the younger generation, it things again being different now. So it's a mixture of that, from values that I've, you know, grew up on things that I was talking and things now as far as, you know, new values that I'll overcome or with, you know, the newer, these younger generation, things are a little bit different. Even for my kids, it'll be different when they get older. And so I try to, you know, it's a mixture of both. - Okay. - Okay, that sounds good to me. - Yeah. - I'm proud of you, your auntie is proud, but very, very proud that you're great. I ain't gonna put the take the name great auntie. I'll say auntie, don't do the great thing. I'm just auntie all across auntie B. I am so proud of you. - I am uncle by nature, you know, everybody. (laughing) Because of my age, they could put, you know, they sound me uncle, you know what I mean? So I'm your uncle, Walter. Okay, not your great uncle, all right? I mean, you got my grandkids. (laughing) Just what they call me, my great grandkids. - My great grandkids. - Guess what they call me, great granddaddy Walter. - Oh, that's got like the great granddaddy. - Yeah, great granddaddy Walter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so nice, man, to be able to see my, talk to my greats anyway. I'm gonna close now. It's anything that you want to, I know you said a lot of things to your audience. If you got anything you wanna say you're closing, it's okay, go ahead. - No, I think I definitely touched on a lot. Like I said, my motto that I live by and something that I want my younger generation to know is that every day is a new day to start over. - So a new day to start over? - Yes, you know. - If you said grieves were doing the best we can, and that's it. - I got one question before we close, and it just popped up. I like this question. And with my niece, I want to ask you, 10 years from now, I'm gonna give you 10 or 20 years. Where do you think you'll be in your businesses? So how do you see yourself and your businesses and your success? - And that's a great question. I definitely have a big vision for that as well in my future. I'm praying that I will have my golden brand that I want. I see, you know, sellouts more content or bigger content. I see our podcast going very far and big, somewhere on a big screen and before or something. And as far as my businesses, you know, like I said, I have a big vision for that. And I just, I see myself really being big. And definitely, as far as I see it. - I do too. But don't forget your auntie. - Yeah, that's a great awkward one. - I will, I will. - Yeah, man. - Well, you know, I see the most lack of, I can root the world. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And thank you. - And I agree. - If my needs, you can drop a check over here once and what. You know, then you can crack out your face. (both laughing) Okay, folks. Yeah, so I am so happy to have Jamiah Brown.
