Speaker 1 (00:00):
The type of money that I needed. There was no
way I was able to just do that on my own.
We're talking about millions of dollars in order to start
the company. But there's tons of corporations and investors who
want to invest in companies, especially black owned production companies,
female led production companies, or just companies.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Say it again, Carlos for the people in the back.
There's tons of money out there, y'all. Money is not scarce.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, no, it's out there.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You got to find the person to give it to you,
but it's out there. But because I was able to
show improve, like, look what this guy has done since
he left Atlanta Housewives. He created a show called Love
and Marriage Huntsville that is doing well for own at
the time, and then we became number one eventually. So
I was able to show improve that I'm investable, I'm
(00:51):
worth you investing in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):

Time to stay locked in to new episode.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Thought of my production company called Kingdom Ran Entertainment. We
have the number one show and the Oprah Winfrey Network
called Love and Marriage Huntsville. Say it Again, Brother, Yes,
number one on Oh thank You, Miss win three for
the opportunity. We have a spin off with this franchise
called Love and Marriage DC, Love and Marriage.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Detroit, a show called Bill Collective on the network.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
We have shows with We TVBT, a documentary on HBO
called The Stroll. It's It's Been, It's Been a It's Tanya.
It's a privilege. It's a privilege. And it's it's a
blessing too. And I want to go deeper here too
for your audience. To leave a big show like the
(02:32):
Real Housewives of Atlanta, Well girl, the money was good.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I got paid a q coin.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know, the money was good, but I didn't feel
I didn't feel good in the sense of I wasn't
I wasn't satisfying my dreams. I feel like God said, Okay,
you followed my orders. You're doing your your due diligence,
and you did the work. But I got something bigger
and better for you. Just trust me, and I stepped
(03:00):
out on faith. I left a big show, a big check,
and I decided to create the company. And you know this,
being a business owner, you don't make a profit for
the first couple of years.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You make it right after you're five. That's why that's the.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Real walk on faith, because you're like, I know I
have a call in here. I know I'm doing something right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And this is why, like y'all money movers, you got
to this is the podcast you need to listen to
when you just have those days be like, it's not
it's your one, it's your two. Why am I out
there driving in the Bentley like all these other entrepreneurs,
because it's a process.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
It really is, and it's worth it. Though.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
At the end, I remember leaving Atlanta Housewives and I
started the production company. I left Atlanta, moved to Los Angeles,
and I remember losing more than fifty percent of my
income because I stepped out on faith. But what was
crazy about it is I was thet I've ever I've
(04:02):
ever been. I was happy the money. Listen, Money's great,
we love money. Money's good, and let's manifest a lot
of money. But I'm really here to tell you all.
When you follow your passion and you're not making as
much money as maybe you're accustomed to, the money's going
to come. It's going to come because money meets passion
(04:25):
equals dibdends and income and it does so for me,
it was the best decision. And look at me now
years later they call me the king of reality television.
I have a nice shoe closet. So listen, God is
good and there's no complaints.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, I have to tap into this because this is
you know, it's interesting because some people touch on this,
some people don't. You did mention manifestation, but I do
feel like, there's a huge piece to here.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And you know it's funny because I can remember just
years ago go Oprah talking about Oprah, right, and we
love Oprah. I've always loved Oprah.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
But Oprah, you know, she would always be the first
person to be like, oh, I never built anything for
the money.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You know, it was never about the money.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I'd be like, well, how is it possible, Oprah,
if you have billions of dollars that it's not about
the money. But again, you start to hear these narratives
coming when you're fully aligned with your path, fully aligned
with building things that make you happy, that the money comes,
and so can you talk about some of the other
things that you did to like still your mind and
(05:35):
reassure yourself on those low and lonely nights when you
were eating noodles that this was the right choice, because
I think those are some of the stories. And maybe
there's tools, maybe there's books that you read that would
help to reassure you in.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
The hard times.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No great question. So for me, I rely them on faith.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I pray to God and crying to God just knowing that, Okay,
it's one of those things where I remember I forgot
who said this, But I remember listening to a celebrity
who said she wanted it so badly. She asked, God,
(06:17):
if I'm not meant to do this, please take this
passion away from me.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Just take it away.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
If you want to redirect me to something else, I'll
be obedient. I will serve you in regards to that.
But do me a favor and take this away from me,
this passion that I have for this because it hurts
too much.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Oh that works for passions careers.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Men, women, Yeah, away, take it away. It hurts too much.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And because she surrendered, he gave her everything. So for me,
it was tough growing into this business wanting to make it.
You know, listen, I had dreams about having a million
dollar house, a Lamborghini, a Corvette, you know, nice cars,
nice homes, nice bank account, you know, being a nine
figure earner like And if there's something wrong with wanting that,
(07:04):
you know, God says, delight yourself in the Lord, and
he will give you the desires of your heart. So
I'm thirty seven four. So it's in the Bible that
God wants you to be rich and successful. But you
but but it's all about the intention. You can't be
your fullest self and make tons of money and sustaining it.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If you're chasing the bag and you're doing things that's
not a purpose for you individually, you are going to fail.
And one thing that we've seen, Tanya real talk. We
know tons of celebrities and some people personally who were
on top, on top, yes, on top, and behind the scenes,
(07:51):
you're like, they're not even a good person, Like, right,
why is God blessing them all?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's not even good people. But they keep going, they
keep going.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But maybe the high they call the Father, they crash.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
They crash. Oh I believe that.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I definitely believe that.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I definitely believe that. And if y'all are listening out here,
you know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Because I always feel like there's a certain point in
life when like everyone has their wokeness and I define
that as everything. But you know, whether it's spiritual or
if it's investing in yourself. But take the time to
really I mean through meditation, manifestation, like your relationship with universe,
(08:32):
Like understand the things that really light you up and
make you tick. Because that's that's what we're talking about here.
That's how your money moves and life I think is
so beautiful when you get to do things that truly
make you happy, you know, truly make you happy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Okay, So before I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Rain us in because clearly, like we could go off
into the woo woo into woo woo land, but you know.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'll keep us. I'll keep us a little bit straight
and narrow here, y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And I want to come back to, you know, being
able to start a business in production, in media, like
you said, as a black boy, hiring, firing, like raising money.
So you have all this experience people want to hire you.
But you made this leap, moved to la you like,
trashed your bank account. And how did you get your start?
(09:20):
How did you get people to believe in you to
say like, hey, I'm starting my business on my own here.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, So I started Kingdom Rank Entertainment in twenty twelve,
just me and me going to the bank and filling
out you know the LLC you know, via legal zoom
like I did. I did everything Grassroots, was still working
on working on Atlanta Housewives. So I said, let me
at least start the company while I still work for
(09:48):
my main source of income.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
When it came time to leave the show.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I had an overall deal with the company called ITV.
They're based out in the UK, but they also have
studios in America. They're based in Los Angeles. So they
gave me a yearly salary in order to work with
them in partnership with the company and develop shells and
(10:16):
sell shells and they'll take care of the overhead, you know,
the editing, the hiring of the attorneys and everything that
goes in. Okay, yeah, I was able to use their infrastructure.
So I did that for two years, still getting a salary.
And then after that I said, okay, I don't want
to be a part of a production company partner with me.
(10:39):
I want to be the sole proprietor of my business.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So that's when we were able to get investment from
an angel investor to give us money in order to
build the company, to hire the teams and to do
all this wonderful stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And that's how it happened. And years later.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, this is what I find so fascinating because oftentimes
people are like, you know, and you sort of did both.
You had this dream, you were building your company. You're
like bootstrapping. I'm doing all these legal zoom documents LLCs
by yourself. But you had a salary. And I think
back to like my first days in entrepreneurship. You know,
I was working as a nurse, that kind of you know,
we got to eat. You got to eat while you're
(11:22):
building out your your company. And sometimes I call it
like the dreamer's dilemma. Do you want to work to
help build someone else's dream or do you want to
work to build your own? But in reality, you kind
of have to do both sometimes to make sure like
you can eat. So now fast forward where you're taking
this check and you're like, I'm ready to do this
(11:44):
on my own. How did you know that you needed
to raise money in this world? Because this is different
from the sort of my tech world versus like do
it all on your own.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The type of money that I needed, there was no
way I was able to just do that on my own.
We're talking about millions of dollars in order to start
the company. But there's tons of corporations and investors who
want to invest in companies, especially black owned production companies,
female led production companies, or just companies.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Say it again, Carlos for the people in the back
there's tons of money out there, y'all.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Money is not scarce.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, no, it's out there. You got to find the
person to give it to you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
But it's out there.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But because I was able to show improve, like, look
what this guy has done since he left Atlanta Housewives.
He created a show called Love and Marriage Huntsville that
is doing well for own at the time, and then
we became number one eventually. So I was able to
show improve that I'm investable, I'm worth you investing in.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Here's my receipts if you will. So that helps.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You can't just walk up and say, look, I want
some money, child. Let's see the pedigree, Let's see the receipts,
the resume, the work. I was able to do all
of that and have so much success in it. So
that's how I was able to do it. I could
have easily gone to a bank and stuff, but that
would have taken let's be honest, either you're being told
(13:14):
no or it'll take a lot of months two years
for that to happen. So I was able to meet
an investor who's in the business, who was impressed.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
With my trajectory, and he said, here's a check.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Have fun, here's a check. Have fun. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I always have to say this and remind people because
you know, you laid it out very well. You're like,
I had the resume, I had the experience, I had this.
You know, when you were looking for investment, no matter
what the industry, this isn't philanthropy like you went to
this person. It's a very detailed business deal that is
like he's expecting returns. So this is why I think
(13:53):
oftentimes when people are looking for money or looking for
ways to invest or trying to build a business, you know,
investors aren't. They're going like, hey, I'm just funding your dreams.
And they are, but you got to come correct with
the right business plan that backs up that you're going
to give.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Them their money back.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, you're one hundred percent right. So you get the money.
It doesn't mean you're going to the Lamborghini dealership buying
a car child like. They want to see a return
on their investment. So for me, I had to hustle harder.
It wasn't like, oh my god, I got all this money.
It was like, oh, this shit is real, Okay, boom,
let's go. So I just started to work harder to
(14:30):
make sure that They knew that I was going to
be able to invest their money into the show ideas
that I had, and that's what I did with it
and still continue to build that way because at some
point listen, and this is not for everybody. Look, at
some point you want to sell your company, cash out
(14:50):
and move on or stay on as a CEO.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
The sky's the limit.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But that's the that's the benefit and getting investments so
that you can scale your business, your company and eventually
sell it for an X amount of millions or billions.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
If you're beautiful manifest all that.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I'm loving it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Okay, So I want to ask some questions about sort
of the nitty gritty in reality TV. You know, there's
so much to it, the casting, production, et cetera. The
way we've seen social media really impact it. How do
you know and recognize a hit. Do they just come
to you in the middle of the night or is
(15:35):
it the person.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Tell us all your secrets all the way above?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, there's sometimes you meet a person you say, ooh,
let's build a show around you. But sometimes, like you said,
you could be in the shower, it could be the
middle of the night, you could be walking your dogs,
child in the park and it comes to you. So
that's why you have to allow yourself to have quiet time.
We live in a world now where everybody wants to
be busy and everybody doesn't like idle time. You check
(16:03):
your Instagram, you check your Twitter, you're like constantly allowing noises.
I allow myself Just yesterday, honestly, I had a over
a forty five minute drive and I said, let me
just sit with myself, let me just sit with myself.
So I do that and allow myself to be still
(16:24):
because ideas come that way too, So you have to
drawn off the noise at times.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
But you know, look, there's various ways.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But so interesting about this business because everything is subjective.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Child.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You could think you got to hit and the network
can say I don't think so, and you're like, you're clueless.
So that's the downside to the business that you're at
the mercy of these networks who have an opinion. But
you have to sell your idea and sometimes it gets rejected.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Oh and the rejection piece, I mean, that's part for
the course in this industry. There's yeses and there's no
opened or shut. It's hard. It is hard. I want
to ask you a bit about budgeting. You know, I
feel like in TV it's hard because you know, you
(17:16):
want the best products, you want all these things, like
how do you go about knowing where and when to
make cuts?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
You know, and that's a very tough part of the business.
I mean, you know a lot of people don't want
to use the R word, but you know, recession is
kind of happening right now that people don't want to admit.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
So you got to make budget cuts.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You know, that's happening all across the industry, not just
the Hollywood industry, Tech too, and you know Amazon has
layoffs as well, so it's happening every words. You have
to make these tough calls so that you're able to
sustain the business. So there isn't this one size of
(18:00):
approach when it comes to budget cuts.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
When you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Cut the budget, you have to look at what's the
things I can live without in this very short time.
So that's how you have to go into it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
M h Okay, that's that's I always feel like that's
a hard question because it's like, you need the sound people,
you need the editors, do you need craft services, do
you need hair and makeup, like you know, and it
all factors in so I feel like in your role,
that's a really hard one.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It is, it really is.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, you have a whole gamut and IMBD page of
successful shows that you've launched, and of course Real Housewives
will always be your first child, but you know as
also a child of ten, tell us about your next favorites.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
You got to have some favorites in there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, look, I will always give the Real Hoswalks have Atlanta.
You know, it's pross because it was my first one
and without that show, I would not have been who
I am today, So I'll give it to them. But
I also love of Hollywood Divas, my first show my
company producer TV one will always be special and I
(19:08):
would say those two, the Real Housewives of Atlanta and
Hollywood Divas.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, what is the show that you found the most difficult?
And I don't know how you want to answer that,
but just the most either to get off the air,
to sell that you were surprised networks liked or didn't like.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I had the show and BT called The Encore, which
was about former girl group members starting a girl group.
And I've been shopping that show around for years and
two Nevers picked it up, but they never greenlighted officially
for series. So I'm like, this is such a genius idea, Like,
what are you guys thinking? So that was very, very,
(19:47):
very hard, and then BT picked it up two years
ago and we're still waiting on word from it. So again,
that's the nature of the business that I hate, is
like you're waiting on someone else to green light your projects.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's not fun.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Absolutely, that is tough.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Well, on a more positive note, I would love to say,
and this is part of the beauty of the industry.
Congratulations on being named one of Hollywood Reporters thirty most
powerful producers in unscripted TV. That is such an honor
and recognition.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
How do you.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
See that impacting your future projects in the reality TV industry?
Are these recognitions do they pay off sort of in
your future building?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It's one of those things where it's equivalent somewhat to
when a music artist is name as you know, one
of the greatest rappers of all time or singers. Does
it give you hands you a check with that, No,
but it makes you're part of the conversation. It gives
people to notice you so it's helpful in that sense,
(20:54):
and because I'm always, if not only, one of the
few black people on the list. It also goes to
show the industry that you have a black guy in
this business who's doing things on the scale and you
should be paying attention to him. So it allows people
to allow people to do some research to like, who
is this guy? What does he have going on? So
it pays off that way in terms of the curiosity
(21:15):
that can eventually lead you hunted to you a future check.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, yeah, no, I love that you said that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
You know, oftentimes we look at these lists and there's like, oh, shoot,
there's only a couple people that look like us black
or brown entrepreneurs on there. But I do think and
Carlos you are you know, I feel like I will
give you your flowers list. You employ a lot of
black and brown people. I even noticed, you know a
lot of the people that you do employ Joy for example.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
This like they're really.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Intentional about bringing people, you know, spelmngrads, Clark Atlanta grads
like onto set so that they can have and so
this is this is how we open up the industry.
And I thank you for being for paying attention to
that and always being super intentional about that.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Oh thanks for noticing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Listen, listen, God opened the door for me to open
it up for other people who look like me. So
I'm an agent of change in that sense for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
So you your other show, The Nightcap with Carlos S. King,
Mark's Own's first late night talk show. This is huge.
I want to know everything about how this came to be, Like,
did you pitch this? Did you just see sort of
a window of opportunity? And again it's on Own, so like, hey, oaps,
we love you.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, no, so it was pitched to Own, and then
Own came to me and said, we love working with you.
And the idea of you having a late night show
on our network, with your visibility and the show you
create and your personality, it was a no brainer. Miss
Winfrey agreed and also said, yes, I love the name,
(22:48):
The Nightcap with Carlos King. Let's make it happen. So
it's been fun to do. It's been a joy. And listen,
it's nice again to create opportunities for people who look
like me. So anytime I'm able to do that, I
love it.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You guys, the nacap with Carlos k Like what a
name too. It's just so perfect. I love it all right.
So now you're wearing all these different hats, you're in
front of the camera, behind the camera, producing this, Like
where do you feel most at home?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Listen, I love being a producer, but I also love
being in front of the camera. I would say I
love it equally. You know, I don't have a girlfriend
and mistress I treat you, you.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Know, like I don't have la.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, So when I say to you, I love it,
I love it equally because it provides my brain to
tap into different areas of this business, and I just
I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
So I would say I love them both equally, for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I love that. Carlos. This was incredible.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I feel like you've just inspired so many people to
chase after their dreams, giving them the tips and tricks
and stuff that's been very successful for you. As we
run out of time here, I want you to make
sure that you tell us, like where you see the
future of reality TV going. There's a lot of budding
entrepreneurs on here, and I want to make sure that
you leave them with something inspiring so that they can
(24:14):
follow their dreams and make sure they're not barking up
the wrong tree.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I see reality TV going to where people want to
get back to real story, real people. Nothing manufacture, nothing, fake,
real stuff, you know, going back to the old days
of reality television where it was fly on the wall
and nobody was using the genre to just become famous
and not give to the show and use the show.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
To meet a man or meet a woman.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It was, hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Well you do listen. It was a dating show.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
That's great, Okay, okay, okay, you know, but I want
it to get back to its origin, which is just
real people living their real lives and bust seeing back
at home like Girl that you watch that. I want

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Until next time,
The type of money that I needed. There was no
way I was able to just do that on my own.
We're talking about millions of dollars in order to start
the company. But there's tons of corporations and investors who
want to invest in companies, especially black owned production companies,
female led production companies, or just companies.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Say it again, Carlos for the people in the back.
There's tons of money out there, y'all. Money is not scarce.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, no, it's out there.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You got to find the person to give it to you,
but it's out there. But because I was able to
show improve, like, look what this guy has done since
he left Atlanta Housewives. He created a show called Love
and Marriage Huntsville that is doing well for own at
the time, and then we became number one eventually. So
I was able to show improve that I'm investable, I'm
(00:51):
worth you investing in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Here's my receipt.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Thought of my production company called Kingdom Ran Entertainment. We
have the number one show and the Oprah Winfrey Network
called Love and Marriage Huntsville. Say it Again, Brother, Yes,
number one on Oh thank You, Miss win three for
the opportunity. We have a spin off with this franchise
called Love and Marriage DC, Love and Marriage.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Detroit, a show called Bill Collective on the network.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
We have shows with We TVBT, a documentary on HBO
called The Stroll. It's It's Been, It's Been a It's Tanya.
It's a privilege. It's a privilege. And it's it's a
blessing too. And I want to go deeper here too
for your audience. To leave a big show like the
(02:32):
Real Housewives of Atlanta, Well girl, the money was good.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I got paid a q coin.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know, the money was good, but I didn't feel
I didn't feel good in the sense of I wasn't
I wasn't satisfying my dreams. I feel like God said, Okay,
you followed my orders. You're doing your your due diligence,
and you did the work. But I got something bigger
and better for you. Just trust me, and I stepped
(03:00):
out on faith. I left a big show, a big check,
and I decided to create the company. And you know this,
being a business owner, you don't make a profit for
the first couple of years.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You make it right after you're five. That's why that's the.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Real walk on faith, because you're like, I know I
have a call in here. I know I'm doing something right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And this is why, like y'all money movers, you got
to this is the podcast you need to listen to
when you just have those days be like, it's not
it's your one, it's your two. Why am I out
there driving in the Bentley like all these other entrepreneurs,
because it's a process.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
It really is, and it's worth it. Though.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
At the end, I remember leaving Atlanta Housewives and I
started the production company. I left Atlanta, moved to Los Angeles,
and I remember losing more than fifty percent of my
income because I stepped out on faith. But what was
crazy about it is I was thet I've ever I've
(04:02):
ever been. I was happy the money. Listen, Money's great,
we love money. Money's good, and let's manifest a lot
of money. But I'm really here to tell you all.
When you follow your passion and you're not making as
much money as maybe you're accustomed to, the money's going
to come. It's going to come because money meets passion
(04:25):
equals dibdends and income and it does so for me,
it was the best decision. And look at me now
years later they call me the king of reality television.
I have a nice shoe closet. So listen, God is
good and there's no complaints.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, I have to tap into this because this is
you know, it's interesting because some people touch on this,
some people don't. You did mention manifestation, but I do
feel like, there's a huge piece to here.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And you know it's funny because I can remember just
years ago go Oprah talking about Oprah, right, and we
love Oprah. I've always loved Oprah.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
But Oprah, you know, she would always be the first
person to be like, oh, I never built anything for
the money.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You know, it was never about the money.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I'd be like, well, how is it possible, Oprah,
if you have billions of dollars that it's not about
the money. But again, you start to hear these narratives
coming when you're fully aligned with your path, fully aligned
with building things that make you happy, that the money comes,
and so can you talk about some of the other
things that you did to like still your mind and
(05:35):
reassure yourself on those low and lonely nights when you
were eating noodles that this was the right choice, because
I think those are some of the stories. And maybe
there's tools, maybe there's books that you read that would
help to reassure you in.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
The hard times.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No great question. So for me, I rely them on faith.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I pray to God and crying to God just knowing that, Okay,
it's one of those things where I remember I forgot
who said this, But I remember listening to a celebrity
who said she wanted it so badly. She asked, God,
(06:17):
if I'm not meant to do this, please take this
passion away from me.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Just take it away.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
If you want to redirect me to something else, I'll
be obedient. I will serve you in regards to that.
But do me a favor and take this away from me,
this passion that I have for this because it hurts
too much.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Oh that works for passions careers.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Men, women, Yeah, away, take it away. It hurts too much.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And because she surrendered, he gave her everything. So for me,
it was tough growing into this business wanting to make it.
You know, listen, I had dreams about having a million
dollar house, a Lamborghini, a Corvette, you know, nice cars,
nice homes, nice bank account, you know, being a nine
figure earner like And if there's something wrong with wanting that,
(07:04):
you know, God says, delight yourself in the Lord, and
he will give you the desires of your heart. So
I'm thirty seven four. So it's in the Bible that
God wants you to be rich and successful. But you
but but it's all about the intention. You can't be
your fullest self and make tons of money and sustaining it.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If you're chasing the bag and you're doing things that's
not a purpose for you individually, you are going to fail.
And one thing that we've seen, Tanya real talk. We
know tons of celebrities and some people personally who were
on top, on top, yes, on top, and behind the scenes,
(07:51):
you're like, they're not even a good person, Like, right,
why is God blessing them all?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's not even good people. But they keep going, they
keep going.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But maybe the high they call the Father, they crash.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
They crash. Oh I believe that.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I definitely believe that.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I definitely believe that. And if y'all are listening out here,
you know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Because I always feel like there's a certain point in
life when like everyone has their wokeness and I define
that as everything. But you know, whether it's spiritual or
if it's investing in yourself. But take the time to
really I mean through meditation, manifestation, like your relationship with universe,
(08:32):
Like understand the things that really light you up and
make you tick. Because that's that's what we're talking about here.
That's how your money moves and life I think is
so beautiful when you get to do things that truly
make you happy, you know, truly make you happy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Okay, So before I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Rain us in because clearly, like we could go off
into the woo woo into woo woo land, but you know.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'll keep us. I'll keep us a little bit straight
and narrow here, y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And I want to come back to, you know, being
able to start a business in production, in media, like
you said, as a black boy, hiring, firing, like raising money.
So you have all this experience people want to hire you.
But you made this leap, moved to la you like,
trashed your bank account. And how did you get your start?
(09:20):
How did you get people to believe in you to
say like, hey, I'm starting my business on my own here.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, So I started Kingdom Rank Entertainment in twenty twelve,
just me and me going to the bank and filling
out you know the LLC you know, via legal zoom
like I did. I did everything Grassroots, was still working
on working on Atlanta Housewives. So I said, let me
at least start the company while I still work for
(09:48):
my main source of income.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
When it came time to leave the show.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I had an overall deal with the company called ITV.
They're based out in the UK, but they also have
studios in America. They're based in Los Angeles. So they
gave me a yearly salary in order to work with
them in partnership with the company and develop shells and
(10:16):
sell shells and they'll take care of the overhead, you know,
the editing, the hiring of the attorneys and everything that
goes in. Okay, yeah, I was able to use their infrastructure.
So I did that for two years, still getting a salary.
And then after that I said, okay, I don't want
to be a part of a production company partner with me.
(10:39):
I want to be the sole proprietor of my business.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So that's when we were able to get investment from
an angel investor to give us money in order to
build the company, to hire the teams and to do
all this wonderful stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And that's how it happened. And years later.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, this is what I find so fascinating because oftentimes
people are like, you know, and you sort of did both.
You had this dream, you were building your company. You're
like bootstrapping. I'm doing all these legal zoom documents LLCs
by yourself. But you had a salary. And I think
back to like my first days in entrepreneurship. You know,
I was working as a nurse, that kind of you know,
we got to eat. You got to eat while you're
(11:22):
building out your your company. And sometimes I call it
like the dreamer's dilemma. Do you want to work to
help build someone else's dream or do you want to
work to build your own? But in reality, you kind
of have to do both sometimes to make sure like
you can eat. So now fast forward where you're taking
this check and you're like, I'm ready to do this
(11:44):
on my own. How did you know that you needed
to raise money in this world? Because this is different
from the sort of my tech world versus like do
it all on your own.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The type of money that I needed, there was no
way I was able to just do that on my own.
We're talking about millions of dollars in order to start
the company. But there's tons of corporations and investors who
want to invest in companies, especially black owned production companies,
female led production companies, or just companies.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Say it again, Carlos for the people in the back
there's tons of money out there, y'all.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Money is not scarce.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, no, it's out there. You got to find the
person to give it to you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
But it's out there.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But because I was able to show improve, like, look
what this guy has done since he left Atlanta Housewives.
He created a show called Love and Marriage Huntsville that
is doing well for own at the time, and then
we became number one eventually. So I was able to
show improve that I'm investable, I'm worth you investing in.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Here's my receipts if you will. So that helps.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You can't just walk up and say, look, I want
some money, child. Let's see the pedigree, Let's see the receipts,
the resume, the work. I was able to do all
of that and have so much success in it. So
that's how I was able to do it. I could
have easily gone to a bank and stuff, but that
would have taken let's be honest, either you're being told
(13:14):
no or it'll take a lot of months two years
for that to happen. So I was able to meet
an investor who's in the business, who was impressed.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
With my trajectory, and he said, here's a check.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Have fun, here's a check. Have fun. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I always have to say this and remind people because
you know, you laid it out very well. You're like,
I had the resume, I had the experience, I had this.
You know, when you were looking for investment, no matter
what the industry, this isn't philanthropy like you went to
this person. It's a very detailed business deal that is
like he's expecting returns. So this is why I think
(13:53):
oftentimes when people are looking for money or looking for
ways to invest or trying to build a business, you know,
investors aren't. They're going like, hey, I'm just funding your dreams.
And they are, but you got to come correct with
the right business plan that backs up that you're going
to give.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Them their money back.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, you're one hundred percent right. So you get the money.
It doesn't mean you're going to the Lamborghini dealership buying
a car child like. They want to see a return
on their investment. So for me, I had to hustle harder.
It wasn't like, oh my god, I got all this money.
It was like, oh, this shit is real, Okay, boom,
let's go. So I just started to work harder to
(14:30):
make sure that They knew that I was going to
be able to invest their money into the show ideas
that I had, and that's what I did with it
and still continue to build that way because at some
point listen, and this is not for everybody. Look, at
some point you want to sell your company, cash out
(14:50):
and move on or stay on as a CEO.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
The sky's the limit.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But that's the that's the benefit and getting investments so
that you can scale your business, your company and eventually
sell it for an X amount of millions or billions.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
If you're beautiful manifest all that.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I'm loving it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Okay, So I want to ask some questions about sort
of the nitty gritty in reality TV. You know, there's
so much to it, the casting, production, et cetera. The
way we've seen social media really impact it. How do
you know and recognize a hit. Do they just come
to you in the middle of the night or is
(15:35):
it the person.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Tell us all your secrets all the way above?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, there's sometimes you meet a person you say, ooh,
let's build a show around you. But sometimes, like you said,
you could be in the shower, it could be the
middle of the night, you could be walking your dogs,
child in the park and it comes to you. So
that's why you have to allow yourself to have quiet time.
We live in a world now where everybody wants to
be busy and everybody doesn't like idle time. You check
(16:03):
your Instagram, you check your Twitter, you're like constantly allowing noises.
I allow myself Just yesterday, honestly, I had a over
a forty five minute drive and I said, let me
just sit with myself, let me just sit with myself.
So I do that and allow myself to be still
(16:24):
because ideas come that way too, So you have to
drawn off the noise at times.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
But you know, look, there's various ways.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But so interesting about this business because everything is subjective.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Child.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You could think you got to hit and the network
can say I don't think so, and you're like, you're clueless.
So that's the downside to the business that you're at
the mercy of these networks who have an opinion. But
you have to sell your idea and sometimes it gets rejected.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Oh and the rejection piece, I mean, that's part for
the course in this industry. There's yeses and there's no
opened or shut. It's hard. It is hard. I want
to ask you a bit about budgeting. You know, I
feel like in TV it's hard because you know, you
(17:16):
want the best products, you want all these things, like
how do you go about knowing where and when to
make cuts?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
You know, and that's a very tough part of the business.
I mean, you know a lot of people don't want
to use the R word, but you know, recession is
kind of happening right now that people don't want to admit.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
So you got to make budget cuts.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You know, that's happening all across the industry, not just
the Hollywood industry, Tech too, and you know Amazon has
layoffs as well, so it's happening every words. You have
to make these tough calls so that you're able to
sustain the business. So there isn't this one size of
(18:00):
approach when it comes to budget cuts.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
When you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Cut the budget, you have to look at what's the
things I can live without in this very short time.
So that's how you have to go into it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
M h Okay, that's that's I always feel like that's
a hard question because it's like, you need the sound people,
you need the editors, do you need craft services, do
you need hair and makeup, like you know, and it
all factors in so I feel like in your role,
that's a really hard one.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It is, it really is.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, you have a whole gamut and IMBD page of
successful shows that you've launched, and of course Real Housewives
will always be your first child, but you know as
also a child of ten, tell us about your next favorites.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
You got to have some favorites in there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, look, I will always give the Real Hoswalks have Atlanta.
You know, it's pross because it was my first one
and without that show, I would not have been who
I am today, So I'll give it to them. But
I also love of Hollywood Divas, my first show my
company producer TV one will always be special and I
(19:08):
would say those two, the Real Housewives of Atlanta and
Hollywood Divas.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, what is the show that you found the most difficult?
And I don't know how you want to answer that,
but just the most either to get off the air,
to sell that you were surprised networks liked or didn't like.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I had the show and BT called The Encore, which
was about former girl group members starting a girl group.
And I've been shopping that show around for years and
two Nevers picked it up, but they never greenlighted officially
for series. So I'm like, this is such a genius idea, Like,
what are you guys thinking? So that was very, very,
(19:47):
very hard, and then BT picked it up two years
ago and we're still waiting on word from it. So again,
that's the nature of the business that I hate, is
like you're waiting on someone else to green light your projects.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's not fun.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Absolutely, that is tough.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Well, on a more positive note, I would love to say,
and this is part of the beauty of the industry.
Congratulations on being named one of Hollywood Reporters thirty most
powerful producers in unscripted TV. That is such an honor
and recognition.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
How do you.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
See that impacting your future projects in the reality TV industry?
Are these recognitions do they pay off sort of in
your future building?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It's one of those things where it's equivalent somewhat to
when a music artist is name as you know, one
of the greatest rappers of all time or singers. Does
it give you hands you a check with that, No,
but it makes you're part of the conversation. It gives
people to notice you so it's helpful in that sense,
(20:54):
and because I'm always, if not only, one of the
few black people on the list. It also goes to
show the industry that you have a black guy in
this business who's doing things on the scale and you
should be paying attention to him. So it allows people
to allow people to do some research to like, who
is this guy? What does he have going on? So
it pays off that way in terms of the curiosity
(21:15):
that can eventually lead you hunted to you a future check.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, yeah, no, I love that you said that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
You know, oftentimes we look at these lists and there's like, oh, shoot,
there's only a couple people that look like us black
or brown entrepreneurs on there. But I do think and
Carlos you are you know, I feel like I will
give you your flowers list. You employ a lot of
black and brown people. I even noticed, you know a
lot of the people that you do employ Joy for example.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
This like they're really.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Intentional about bringing people, you know, spelmngrads, Clark Atlanta grads
like onto set so that they can have and so
this is this is how we open up the industry.
And I thank you for being for paying attention to
that and always being super intentional about that.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Oh thanks for noticing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Listen, listen, God opened the door for me to open
it up for other people who look like me. So
I'm an agent of change in that sense for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
So you your other show, The Nightcap with Carlos S. King,
Mark's Own's first late night talk show. This is huge.
I want to know everything about how this came to be, Like,
did you pitch this? Did you just see sort of
a window of opportunity? And again it's on Own, so like, hey, oaps,
we love you.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, no, so it was pitched to Own, and then
Own came to me and said, we love working with you.
And the idea of you having a late night show
on our network, with your visibility and the show you
create and your personality, it was a no brainer. Miss
Winfrey agreed and also said, yes, I love the name,
(22:48):
The Nightcap with Carlos King. Let's make it happen. So
it's been fun to do. It's been a joy. And listen,
it's nice again to create opportunities for people who look
like me. So anytime I'm able to do that, I
love it.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You guys, the nacap with Carlos k Like what a
name too. It's just so perfect. I love it all right.
So now you're wearing all these different hats, you're in
front of the camera, behind the camera, producing this, Like
where do you feel most at home?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Listen, I love being a producer, but I also love
being in front of the camera. I would say I
love it equally. You know, I don't have a girlfriend
and mistress I treat you, you.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Know, like I don't have la.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, So when I say to you, I love it,
I love it equally because it provides my brain to
tap into different areas of this business, and I just
I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
So I would say I love them both equally, for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I love that. Carlos. This was incredible.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I feel like you've just inspired so many people to
chase after their dreams, giving them the tips and tricks
and stuff that's been very successful for you. As we
run out of time here, I want you to make
sure that you tell us, like where you see the
future of reality TV going. There's a lot of budding
entrepreneurs on here, and I want to make sure that
you leave them with something inspiring so that they can
(24:14):
follow their dreams and make sure they're not barking up
the wrong tree.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I see reality TV going to where people want to
get back to real story, real people. Nothing manufacture, nothing, fake,
real stuff, you know, going back to the old days
of reality television where it was fly on the wall
and nobody was using the genre to just become famous
and not give to the show and use the show.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
To meet a man or meet a woman.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It was, hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Well you do listen. It was a dating show.
Speaker 1 (24:49):

it to get back to its origin, which is just
real people living their real lives and bust seeing back
at home like Girl that you watch that. I want
to get back to that real people.
