fifty fifty. If you couldn't get through and you still
want to shine that light, you can. And we got
yee t when we come back, and let's talk about statements.
Laurie Harvey and Damnson Edges. People have been saying it
was over. We'll tell you what they said. It's way

(04:32):
up at the Angela ye yee. Te's up next. Relax, Mano.

Speaker 14 (04:36):
She's like the talk like they Angela Jean, like they
Angela Jee.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Man. She's spilling it all. This is yeaty wall.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
All right. It is way up at the Angela Yee.
I'm Angela Yee and Mano.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Is here, No Mana right and more a really fun
guest co host in the room with us, Glory Glory les, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (04:55):
Gloria.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
All right, comedian. What's going on in New York right now?
As a festival.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
So we're doing the New.

Speaker 15 (05:02):
York Comedy Festival. So I'm in a few shows. So
I just came by to say hi and to meet
my new friend may know we're getting along, right, No,
but we're doing the festival, so we're just having a
good time.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's been good, all right, but let's get it to
some yet. Laurie Harvey and Damnson it just half split up.

Speaker 15 (05:19):
I was surprised by that. I mean, but I think
they lasted a long time for what it was. Yeah,
but like that isn't that longer than Michael B. Jordan
like she was, like it was.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
I think that's our average said it felt longer for
some reason. I think they were together a lot. I
don't know why that felt longer.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
I don't know why I'm upset about.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
It though, Yeah, it hurts you personally. Well, here's the statement.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
They said, we part ways remaining friends with nothing but
love and respect for each other and the time we
share together. But they did say their individual paths require
our full attention and dedication. And they both were at
the same party. That's what's hard too when you break up.
They were at Odell Beckham Junior's party and they came separately.

Speaker 8 (05:58):
So that's when I would have just through like a
drink over to the other side.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Of the room, right right. But maybe it was amicable.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
I don't want to be amicable, but so then you
break up. I want all TODs cuts.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
But they did delete all the pictures and people were
saying the pictures.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
She deleted the pictures. He deleted the pictures.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
And so you always know in Hollywood when people break up,
pictures are gone.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
You gotta let me off.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
The feed just refrustrated, and if you don't know if
you're going to get back together, you just archive them.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
I like that nothing.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
I'm just not doing that, you know.

Speaker 15 (06:31):
But it was weird because they were compatible Capricorn and
damn sand is a Virgo covering, but that works too,
all right.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Now, Timbaland had came in the fire. He said some
things about Britney Spears that people did not like. It
was on stage at Sound Architects to produce a conversation
with Timbaland. He was in conversation with Ninth Wonder and
here's what he said about britt.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Is making headlines again because memoir. She said that crazy, right.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
I wanted to call your.

Speaker 15 (07:04):
Tea put.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
Oh, put a muzzle on that graft and everything she's
been through.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
But he said that recently, yes, because her book had
already came out. And so you know clearly he's good
friends with Justin Timberlake, and so she said a lot
about things that happened transpired between her and Justin. And
so here's what Timberland had to say though after the backlash,
because you know, Justin Timberlake has been like in Mexico
after this book came out, he had to disable and

(07:30):
limit his comments and everything.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Here's what Timberland said.

Speaker 16 (07:33):
I apologized to the Britney fans and her Yes, you
know about respecting women.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Hell yeah, yeah, see, iologize.

Speaker 15 (07:42):
How do you feel about that as a man that
loves women about his statements about Brittany put a muzzle.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
Well, listen, he reacted, and sometimes we react and we
say things. I mean, I'm not going to condemn him
for him statements. Sometimes I say things that I should
I shouldn't say, but at the same time, when it
cut yeah, yeah, possibly. So the thing about Brittany, I
feel like Brittany, you know, Brittany needs love. Yeah, you
said you watched it, watched the documentary and I was

(08:11):
I felt it like you know, I was damn it
on in tears.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
See, SOFY have to have empathy for people.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
And Jennifer Hudson talked to Gail King and shared that
she didn't know how to swim. She was tought to
swim by Ryan Lochte's how you say his name? Yeah
LOACHTI so uh now, she said, it's never too late
to learn. Here's what she told Gil King.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
It's something I've never done, is swim. I wanted to
learn how to swim. And then why did they want
to learn how to swim? I'm always trying. I like
to explore and do new things. Never too late swim.
It's the thing in so many black people don't know
how exactly. Yeah, and I was one of them, and
so maybe it inspire others to want to learn as well.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
You did you learn? I did? Okay, I said Ryan locked.
I didn't know that swimmer.

Speaker 15 (08:57):

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Wow, now I understand what's going on now.

Speaker 15 (18:11):
As long as I love her, So it's just beautiful.
But so he went and sat down with her.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
They're talking after and they're talking, and here's what he
had to say about his divorce.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
Because everybody is wondering what happened with him and Jeanie.
I'm one of those people.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
This has not been her easy journey.

Speaker 19 (18:28):
I'm signing telling that I'm disappointed, I'm uneasy, but God
has put me in a different path, and that path
is going to entail for me to take care of
myself and to love myself and to be in the
best situation that I can thrive as someone who've been
through all the things that I've been through.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
Did you go to therapy with her?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yep?

Speaker 6 (18:50):
We did not get no answers. I didn't get I
haven't got an answer, but I can't respect it.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
He doesn't want to, you know, put anything on blast,
but what it does feel like is that and he
keeps on stressing the fact that he didn't cheat, because
everybody thought at first that's what it was. You know,
he says that real and words don't cheat. Don't be
frozen me. You know when this part comes on listening
and you gotta know when it's time to be done.

Speaker 20 (19:16):
And that's usually not about another person, an affair or
you know, some chick that's willing to like make you
feel like a king, because that's why most men cheat.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
That's a fascinated to me my quote. And don't cheat.
I understand what she means something in us that makes
us want to be right across the board.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Are you laughing?

Speaker 8 (19:41):
All I know is you ladies out here like by
the way he works, and he had his eye on
k Ea, he knows what she wants to hear, right,
so he's playing.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
That see right now, that's not digressed because real men
don't cheat. Really, that's what he just said.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
Right, He's saying that for a reason and though yeah,
I mean listen, he's doing that for a reason.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
Had that up?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, Well here's more. Here's what Nia Lung had to
say about her own divorce.

Speaker 14 (20:13):
You know, I had a really public breakup recently. My
older son saw me trying to keep the family together.
But I had to come to a place where loving
myself was bigger and more important than saving anybody.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Mm okay, and he knows this. What does he know?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
You know that she broke up and he like, look
what he said in.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
The song along, singing her right, So he set it
up and he's sitting down with us. So what are
you gonna say, Yeah, I'm struggling with you know, cheating
and having issue. No, he's gonna say, real men don't cheat.
He plants that seed so and then and then he
probably licked his lips or something. I don't know, Like
he's probably.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Are like low key hate mano.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
Why would it be? Wow? My god.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
First of all, I'm saying I know what he's doing.
And it's all I'm saying, I know what he's doing.

Speaker 15 (21:09):
I think it's weird. Divorce Genie. He was just in
Vietnam with her, and I'm like, I just think it's
weird and strategic, Like I don't know what he's like,
moved on so fast because you want me alone, but
we don't know that he's moved on fast and we
don't want me alone.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
They gonna be together, everybody listening. We got we got
to put that out yet if I want me alone?

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Okay, Well that doesn't work like that, That's not the
way it works. Okay, Well anyway that is yeah.

a surgeon to perform this crany octomy, and within twenty
five minutes then the robot puts in the device. And
they have done one hundred and fifty five implantation surgeries
on animals so far. But now they're looking for people
to do this in so I don't know if y'all
would be willing to do it.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
A CEO, Cody Santez from Contrarian Thinking recently on a
podcast said that you can tell how successful somebody is
by watching them place in order at a coffee shop.
And by the way, come to coffee uplifts people, and
here is what you had to say.

Speaker 21 (23:35):
Show me how long it takes you to order at
a counter, and I will show you your bank account.
People who take forever to order when they stand in
line one are really comfortable inconvenience in somebody else around them,
which means they have limited self awareness. And then simultaneously
they're not very efficient at the things that don't really matter.

Speaker 11 (23:54):
MM.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Now, are you a long person it takes a long
time to order? Or I'm very decisive?

Speaker 15 (24:00):
I feel like I just go to my set, my
go to orders, Like I don't know the coffee, so
you don't want coffee?

Speaker 3 (24:06):
What about other places when you go order where you're
going to? What about when you go other places and
order things? Does it take you a long time?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
I stand up there and I'm like, man, do I
want this? Or do I want that? Maybe I want this?

Speaker 6 (24:18):
Do you care if there's people waiting?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
He doesn't care. So wine and I want to say
another Comedians in the room, McLean. She was very upset
about this topic because clearly she takes.

Speaker 20 (24:33):
A long time.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
How long is there?

Speaker 20 (24:34):
You don't order?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
She's a Libra, so that's her reason. I'm a Capricorn,
so I'm very decisive. Yeah, Well, anyway, for you guys, listening.
Just make sure you hurry up and place your order.
Think about the people around you, and that way you'll
be rich if you order quick. All right, Well, we
do have the Way Up Mixed coming at the top
of the hour plus. Speaking of coffee, my partner at

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Now let's get into some et. DJ Khaled is talking
about some financial struggles. He was unveiled as Rolling Stone's
newest cover star, and he said he was hustling, not
smart around twenty fifteen, and he said, I remember I
had like a month to come up with this large
amount of money. I kept saying, there's no way in
the world that we worked this much for this farm.
We don't have nothing to show for it. I was like, Yo,

(25:46):
if I want a family, I got to get my ish, right,
he said, I gambled on myself. I always better myself
from day one. But I tripled down that day. And
so yeah, that's a tough thing, man, definite that. Yeah,
same around tax time all the time.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
Yeah, you're like, curse glory.

No, I relate to that.

Speaker 15 (26:10):
I'm an upcoming artist, so I'm like, you know, I
don't have the things that I thought I was gonna have.
But I think it's great that he's talking about it,
right because it's it's transparent.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Everyone goes through it.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, and this was what eight years ago now, and
look at where where he's at exactly all right, Chad
Jackson and tall Owens were on Instagram Live and they
were talking about, you know, how many women they slept
within a short period of time.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
And there was a time that they were in the
d R.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Okay, not that you're looking at me like I'm the president,
I'm sorry, but I was gonna look at meta because
MANA was just there too.

Oh he went to Dominican Public Beautiful.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
I go there frequently.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
All right, Well here's what they had to say.

Speaker 5 (26:44):

Speaker 2 (26:44):
And we was in the d R with the women.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
Oh yeah, I had the big you know, I take
one big girl. Sometimes you gotta do that. Yeah, girl

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Man?

Speaker 7 (26:58):
We would do by what seven women?

Speaker 10 (27:00):

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Seventeen women in twelve hours? Well, it's ridiculous. Why are
you reminiscing in your head? Why are you looking up
in the sky?

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Why looking at me? I'm just saying, you're in like
seventeen women and out of how many dudes?

Speaker 9 (27:16):
Though?

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Listen, it's just the two of them talking about I
don't know who else was there.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Probably it probably wasn't just them too.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
Yeah, but seventeen women in twelve hours. Yeah, that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Man.

Speaker 6 (27:27):

Speaker 20 (27:40):

Speaker 8 (27:40):

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Baby stopped.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Heads all yet need All right, well let's get into stance.
We're talking basketball. Shaquila New responded to Royce to Reed's interview,
she did a sit down with Carlos King and she
was talking about how things were kind of doomed for
her on basketball wise because of something she revealed to
Shanny O'Neill.

Speaker 6 (28:08):
Here's what she said.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
Tried to confide in her during filming. Yeah, and even
with that, I realized I couldn't trust her because prior
to the show even starting, I had sent her a
thread of where HER's husband had been texting me and
nothing ever happened. He actually cursed me out because I
wouldn't talk to him.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
All right, Well, Shakira responding and said, somebody needs money.
Shaquille O'Neill's at that. Yeah, I don't know.

I know that nobody likes boys, but I liked her
on the show.

Speaker 15 (28:44):

and we just talked about the experience of just going
through life and you know, girlhood all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
And what I love about this is that you actually
had a day job in advertising. Angela's journalism my whole life.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Yeah, I did quit your job, talk about I did.

Speaker 12 (30:56):
So.

Speaker 15 (30:56):
When I quit my job, I was I was in
the media and marketing and my boss was you know,
everybody has hard times at work. I thought he was
an ally and he threw me under the bus one time,
and I kind of cursed him out. I won't say
the words here. They've learned my lesson on radio, but
I cursed him out, and I was like, Yo, what
am I gonna do with my life? Like I've been
looking at this computer all my life, like I want
to do something purposeful.

Speaker 6 (31:16):
And when I got on stage, everything just felt like
it came together.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Well did you did you always do comedy though? Like
were you? Did you always feel like it was funny?

Speaker 15 (31:25):
I always was like the class clown, but like, you know,
I'm like in ap bio talking about stuff stupid, you
know whatever. I didn't know it was gonna be a comedian.
It was just something that I literally was at my
wits end. I was like, look, I gotta do.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Something because I'm about to like I'm just comedy.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
Because you actually took classes too.

Speaker 15 (31:42):
I took one class because I was already in marketing
and I'm in a soorty, so I didn't want to
like embarrass you know my friends. I'm like, let me
see if I'm funny. You know, man, we can work.
We could work, we can work.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Work's very fun I think I just didn't know.

Speaker 15 (31:56):
I just was I didn't want to embarrass myself because
I never see anyone let me do comedy.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
What made you picked that instead of singing?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I can't I know, I can't say like I was
telling that right now. I can't say singing, Yeah you can't.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
I have no singing time. Some people do, but I
just always had. I don't know, it was always in
the back of my mind, but.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
I just people always told you it was funny.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
Yeah, I've always been funny, always been like out of
pocket as you can.

Speaker 14 (32:17):
Say, it's naturally funny, but it's just you know, And
I just I was like, if I try it once
and it doesn't work out, I won't give it a try.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
But if it works out, I'm gonna see where goes.
So the first time you tried it it worked out well,
I was on the.

Speaker 15 (32:27):
Safe space, so I was like, you know, but I
was like then I put the video on YouTube and
people started booking me and that, and I just never
got on stage. Because the way comedy works that your
other peers see. If you're funny and you get you
continue getting booked and.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
Okay, that's great, but we're glad that you're here.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
We're glad that you're the New York Comedy Festival and

but she's like, come to the party.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
And what I love about Ada Rodriguez that she's very
intentional about putting on comedians like Latin comedians.

Speaker 15 (33:12):
She's always been there. She did our show motives on y'allo,
like she is super supportive of everything, like forget her books.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
You should you should know. This is ask gee?

Speaker 6 (33:40):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Is way you put Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and
I'm joined by Mano.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
The award winning advice giver.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yes, indeed, and our guest Housset Glory and the number
is eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty and
we have Kaya on the line.

Speaker 6 (33:53):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (33:54):
Kaya?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Angelae?

Speaker 6 (33:56):
Hey, of course we cannot wait to hear your question.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
I'm kind of battling with whether I should continue to
be a content creator and build up my brand on
social media or if I want to continue to climb
the corporate ladder and build my corporate brand. I'm good
at both, and they've both been doing well, but I'm
having a hard time balancing between two.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
Glory, You've done that.

Speaker 15 (34:20):
I literally had that was that my trajectory before I
got into comedy. I think you should you should do
both to spend income. Why not take the weekends to
kind of work on your content creation and just give
your job nine to five.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
It's something you want to do, like maybe like what
is your what is your content? Not the only fan.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I'm doing lifestyle locks, fashion travel really like a cool
kind of content and I have a good amount of
falling right now and it's growing. But my job is
like takes out a lot of time.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
And let me ask you this, have you been monetizing
your content and how is that for you?

Speaker 9 (35:00):
So not through the.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Direct platforms like YouTuber, Instagram, but through brands. So I've
got to do modeling with brands. I've gotten free products
and I got to give like reviews and stipends for
giving my reviews.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Okay, so like, if you dedicated more time, you could
actually make this your give me full time, full time
income and actually maybe at some point make more than
you're making it in the corporate.

Speaker 10 (35:21):
World personably dream right, So okay, what are you.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
More passionate about besides you know doing well, what do
you like more?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Of course, I'm like creating content more and being in
the public eye on social media, have like that recognition
and work.

Speaker 8 (35:40):
Well, take that chance and you want to sound like
you want to be a creator. So sometimes you got
to take that leap of faith and do something that
you've never done before.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
And it's scary, and it's scary, but I would say this,
give yourself like a certain amount of money that you
can save up, and once you get to that point,
that's when you know it's time to make the leap.
And I would give myself that so I have something
to fall back on, right, just so I feel stable
and secure and knowing that okay, because you can always
go back to the corporate world necessary, but if you

(36:09):
want to really thrive in a space that you love,
you know, I think it is always worth it to
if it's something that you are passionate about, to take
that chance, right.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
But I agree and calculated risk, which.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Means, let me go ahead, get this taken care of,
make sure I'm good, you know, just in case it
doesn't happen as quickly or to the extent that I
want right away. And then that way I can really
just focus on it and not have all these other
things weighing on me.

Speaker 8 (36:33):
I like that calculator, that's right, just take them and
I wouldn't rule out only fans.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
I would like, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 10 (36:42):
Thanks you'a so much.

Speaker 2 (36:43):

Speaker 6 (37:25):
All right, it's way up with Angela Ye. Wealth Wednesdays
is next.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
I had a dream of lifting wealthy and I don't
mind sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally
and physically.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
This is Wealth Wednesday on Way up with Angela Ye.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
What's up this way up with Angela Gee. I'm Angela Yee.
And look, Jasmine brand is here. I am here, hey Jasmine,
and I'm excited for this because my business partner, Tony
Fote is here.

Speaker 16 (37:47):
What's going on there?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
That is my partner for coffee uplifts people, and we
have Sealima Scott here and Erasy Thompson. I said, they're
right from Shopify. Yeah, all right, Well Selma Scott you
are a you own Urban Glow. You founded that company Candles.
But we want to talk about partnerships and Shopify and
how Shopify can actually help elevate black owned businesses and

(38:10):
the commitment that you guys have to making sure that
when it comes to marketing, when it comes to having
a platform to be able to sell products, and also
even the pop up space that you have in New
York and soho, how that is actually helping build a
stronger black owned business ecosystem. So let's get started with you, Erasi,
and what your responsibilities are at Shopify.

Speaker 13 (38:32):
Yes.

Speaker 12 (38:32):
So I'm currently leading the Black Entrepreneurship Program and that
started back in twenty twenty and Shopify made a commitment
with Operation Hope. We are a charity based out of Atlanta,
but they operated across the United States and we came
together as flagship partners to create this initiative called one
Million Black Businesses. And so the goal was to create
a million black businesses by the year twenty thirty and

(38:53):
that's what we've been doing since. It's been amazing, and
there's sort of tools, resources, education that we provide all
the entrepreneurs who are part of it.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
It's really important because a lot of the obstacles that
we have as business owners in the black community is
you know, we start businesses, especially black women too. I
just want to say, but we don't get the funding
and the capital that a lot of other businesses get.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
Selima, you are.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Somebody that I wanted to come up here just because
with your Urban Glow business, You've worked really closely with Shopify,
and I want to talk about what your experience has
been starting your candle business.

Speaker 18 (39:24):
It's been definitely a healing process for me. So I
started Urban Glow after my divorce and I used candle
light and just lighting candles just as a way to decompress.
I started that in twenty nineteen, and when I came
to developing my website, I really didn't know what to do.
I knew it was different platforms out there. So then

(39:46):
I said, Okay, let me give Shopify a chance, and
I literally created my website on my phone. Shopify has
been very, very instrumental in the growth of my business,
just helping me scale given resources as a business owner
that I just I'm normally would not have had and
I feel like I wouldn't have had it with any
other platform.

Speaker 6 (40:04):
All Right, it is a wealth Wednesday right now.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
We got my partner Tony Fourte from Coffee uplifts people
e Racy Thompson from Shopify and Selima Scott from Urban Glow.

Speaker 6 (40:13):
What do you think is the best part of your
partnership or you know, having them as a resource.

Speaker 18 (40:17):
How they pour into small business and I can't I
can't stress that enough. Anything that we need as small
business owners, they can provide it. You know, I started
my business online and now transitioning and actually opening a
retail space.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Oh wow, yeah where is it? It's in Union, New Jersey. Okay.

Speaker 18 (40:35):
But going back to Shopify, they definitely will help me
with that transition because now instead of me operate in
my website and POS system on my phone, I'll need
their terminal to actually run the business. And then also
too bar codes. I can actually print barcodes now and
put it on my products.

Speaker 6 (40:53):
Wow, that's a huge deal. Yes, it's a huge deal.
And when us Shapify from my hair store to private label.

Speaker 16 (41:00):
You're also very intuitive to the entrepreneur when you're trying
to build a business and you're so focused on product
or service, a lot of times you have you want
to be able to remove barriers of entry, whether it's
access to resources, whether it's point of sale and finance.
You all are instrumental in being able to remove barriers
of entry that maybe fifteen years ago that was a

(41:22):
serious either roadblock or it took a good amount of capital,
you know, from site development and pos and all that
kind of stuff. And now you can pretty much do
that for I don't know, a few dollars.

Speaker 12 (41:33):
Yeah, and that's the goal to have it all in
the same place.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
And the other thing that it does is it really
does gather some great data for you so you can
see like where your where your customers are coming from,
who's a repeat customer, Like everything is very easy to navigate.
All right, Jasmine Brand is here and we are doing
a Wealth Wednesday with Tony Forte from Coffee Uplease People
and my partner a Racie Thompson from Shopify and Salima Scott,

(41:56):
the founder of urban Glow. It's way you put Angela
Yee more Wealth Wednesday when we come back.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
You straight financially, mentally, and physically. This is Wealth Wednesday
on Way Up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
What's up is way putting Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and we are doing a Wealth Wednesday. Jasmine Brand is here.
I'm talking to Tony Forte. I talk to him all
the time because he's my partner in Coffee uplifts people.
Also in Racie Thompson from Shopify and Salima Scott, the
founder of these amazing candles Urban Glow. I want you
to talk about with Shopify what you guys are doing

(42:27):
in particular to support black owned businesses and entrepreneurs.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (42:31):
So as a part of one m BB, one of
them black businesses, we're providing various tools. So we have
pop up experiences on occasion. We bring people together every
so often, the black entrepreneurs to meet each other to
connect to grow community because there's this solopreneur vibe that
a lot of black businesses are on and so bringing
them together to be able to connect it's great to

(42:51):
remove that sense of like isolation or loneliness.

Speaker 5 (42:55):
We've also done a number of things.

Speaker 12 (42:57):
We put on digital literacy workshops, financial literacy work shops,
and we also bring a ton of shop Fight experts
to teach people about various things about the platform, and.

Speaker 6 (43:05):
That was important to me.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
That's why even us doing that together, we ended up
putting our coffee up lift People's shop inside of the
pop up space, which has been amazing for us, but
also giving people a space to work out of All right,
and let's talk about how this works. Let's say somebody's
listening right now and they're like, Okay, I have a business,
right and I've been just selling my things, like direct

(43:26):
to consumer online, maybe I'm on social media promoting what
I have.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
How do I take that to the next level using Shopify?

Speaker 12 (43:33):
What are the steps, I'd say, probably signing up to
the program. So shop fight dot com forward slash one
MVB and you get one hundred and twenty days for
free to sort of try it out, so you can
play around.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
With this amount of time. Yeah, exactly, it's more than
enough time.

Speaker 12 (43:47):
We also get the opportunity to connect you with a
business coach from Operation Hope, and so they can walk
you through any things that you're having questions about or
doubts about. And then once you're sort of settled and
you've gotten yourself like familiar with the platform, we bring
you into the Build Black community and that's just a
place for a ton of merchants who are on the
platform who are Black, who are just discussing various things,
and we also share opportunities in there as well.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
All Right, it is a wealth Wednesday right now.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
We got my partner Tony Fote from Coffee Uplifts People,
Eracy Thompson from Shopify, and Salima Scott from Urban Glow.

Speaker 6 (44:18):
Now, what are some things that you've gotten out of this, Salima?

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Just from you joining the Shopify space and then being
on the platform and maybe connecting with other entrepreneurs.

Speaker 14 (44:28):
Well, as you mentioned the Build Black space, I mean
it's just such a supportive community of entrepreneurs.

Speaker 6 (44:34):
And then I didn't know anything about creating a website.
That's to me. I know my website like the back
of my hand. So that's how easy it is.

Speaker 18 (44:42):
That's how easy it is. It is very straightforward. So
that's what I've gotten from just the confidence to really
run my business on my own. I don't have to
hire anyone to build out my website. If I need
to update any pictures, any product, description orchidue whatever, I
can take care of it now. Do I want to
no longer, No, I want to hire somebody else grow.

(45:03):
Shopify definitely has given me the confidence to just run
my business and just fly.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
I do want to encourage people to go, if you're
starting a business, if you have a business, take advantage
of what shopify has to offer.
