Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I learned my lesson. I'm never going to complain
to this day. I just I don't complain. I think
complaining is, and I'm going to say it. Complaining is
telling God he got it wrong.

Been a while, Such a pleasure to have you on
the pod. Good to see your face. Although y'all can't
see it, I can and it's shining.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Ah. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Well, look who's talking. You're as gorgeous always and thank
you for having me on. I'm so thrilled.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, I'm so excited because I feel like this is
the perfect intersection of so many worlds. You know, we're
talking about business, entrepreneurship, how people make their money moves.
I've been on reality TV shows before, ones that you
really were instrumental in blowing up across the map, and
people always want to know, like how you did this,
how you built this, how you got in the game.
(02:42):
So I want to start at the beginning, and I
want to talk about little Carlos, you know, six seven,
Like what did you think was going to be your
money mover? Like what did you think your career was
going to be about?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
That is so funny and such a good question.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So at five, six years old, I remember distinctly. I'm
one of ten kids my parents. No extra baby mama's,
no extra baby daddies. My parents had ten kids. I'm
number five out of ten. Yeah, so I grew up
with tons of personalities. And my mother was truly a
(03:20):
real housewife. She was a housewife in Detroit, Michigan, because
child somebody had to raise his crazy kids. Yeah, my
older sister named Tamika. I would never forget this, and
for some reason it's stuck with me. So I'm maybe
six or seven years old, and you know how when.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You're a kid, You're like, what do you want to
be when you grow up? And my sister asked me
that question.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I was like, I don't know, and she said, and
I swear to you she said this, She said, I
see you as a businessman.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
She said, You're going to be like Jack Abbott on
the Young and Restless, which, if you know soap operas.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That is like high and sexy praise.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, and I'm like six, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And tan, y'all, I remember being six, Like girl, what
does he do for a living?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I'm six?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So it's funny because I look back now and I
am a businessman and I love what I do.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
But I didn't know at twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
After watching a non de Luis host teen summon on
BT every Saturday at noon, I said, I want to be.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Just like her.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I want to be a host and I want to
get into production and the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Wow. I love that. Well, thanks Sis, that's really inspiring
that she just saw a big business entrepreneurial spirit in
you from such a young age and shout up to
the Young and the Restless. Reference that made my day
right now. Okay, so you know, I have these like
big dreams and what was your first job? Did you
(05:01):
know you wanted to go into production? Were you that
intentional in your pathway.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Before the world knew about manifestation and law of attraction.
I was somebody as a teenager who manifested this life
from myself. I prayed to God constantly, and I was
somebody who just always saw myself being on set, being
in front of the camera, and there's no secret or
(05:30):
surprise that is happening now because of that, So I
always knew.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I wanted to be in the business.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And when you're from Detroit, Michigan, unfortunately, especially at that time,
there wasn't any production going on, so I knew I
had to be in New York City. So I left
Detroit at twenty two, I dropped out of college as
a junior, and I moved to New York City with
my sister, and I made it happen for myself. I
(05:57):
snuck into Universal Music Group and I said, I have
a meeting with the internship coordinator for internship at Deaf
Jam Records, and this is nothing but God. The security
guard was like, Okay, go upstairs, hits your badge, and
I'm like, wait, what girl. Yes, So long story short,
(06:17):
the internship coordinator said, wait, you snuck in here to
get an internship. He said, I'm so impressed. Come back
in the summer and I will hook you up. I
did that. I was an intern of Death Jam Records.
This is like the era of like jay Z the
Blueprint album.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I feel like a mafia came out of that era.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh girl, it was like Rockefeller Records, and you know,
Beyonce just started dating jay Z that year I was
an intern is when they dropped Bonnie and Clyde the single.
So this was like, like you said, the mafia days
of like the music industry, especially at Death Jam. So
that was my introduction in the business and I just
(06:59):
became the king of interns, girl.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I interned at The View with ROBERTA.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Walter, Star Jones was there, mayored Vierira Joy Behar and
then I ended up at BET interning for one on
six in Park and that was my last internship before
they said we're gonna hire you as a PA, a
production assistant. So I dropped out of college again because
(07:25):
I enrolled in Hunter College in New York City, and
I said, my dreams are coming.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
True and I can't let which I'm gonna be honest
with you. I'm my girl.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I can't let college stop me from like achieving my dreams.
So I dropped out my junior year, got a job
as a PA, and that's how got my start working
in the business.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh my gosh, so much happened here. Okay, Well, you're
gonna have to talk about all these things because I
also want to know about, you know, your journey through manifestation.
You mentioned that, I want to talk about that, Okay,
but also shout out Detroit. So you're from Detroit, born
and raised? Like what high school did you go to?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Finny High School is burned down now, but it was.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It was.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It was a legacy at the time.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I mean, I just feel like I'm meeting all these
Detroit people all of a sudden, but I love it.
They're just pumping out all these people. Okay, So now
you got your first job, you got your first paycheck,
and you're learning the business, like you're understanding like behind
the scenes from production assistant, getting coffee, doing whatever it
takes to work towards your dream.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yes, and it was great because listen, I'm successful. Number
one because of God. Number two because I literally, Tanya,
I've had every single job in the business.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I didn't I didn't skip a step.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I was a production assistant and a social producer, field producer, supervising,
and and the rest goes up and up and up.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
But I never skipped a step.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I literally did every single person's job. And because I've
had that eduction and that experience is how I was
able to own a business. Because I'm able to teach
the new group of people coming up how to do
the job because I did it before, so I know
(09:13):
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You know. It's so interesting because one of the things
I love being able to speak to like really successful
people on this podcast is just what makes a good leader.
And I hear, you know, and here's the thing, I
hear the same things over and over again, because I
think there's just some people who are just really great
at what they do and they've cracked that nut. And
(09:36):
it's honestly being able to understand when you were going
to be a business owner an entrepreneur, if you're in
corporate or wherever you are, understanding what it takes to
make a successful business run, and you have to know
like the whole gamut like from how to handle the talent,
how to be behind the camera, how to do the editing,
and like understanding that that experience doesn't come overnight, like
(09:58):
you worked your butt up to get it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, no, I did, and it's all deserving because I
worked for this. So when you know you cultivated your
skill set, no one can take it away from you.
No one can't because the way you were able to
navigate through those troubled waters. You know, as we all
go through in our career, it's okay because you are
(10:22):
now able to continue to apply that grit and that
hunger into every level of your life.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Amazing. Okay, So tell me as you're working your way
up the ladder, I want to know some of those
times that you needed to dig deep for that grit.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Look, my first reality show job was the Real Housewives
of Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Job here right now, let's dive right into it.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, season one, we did not know what the show
was going to be called. It was called Ladies of Hotlanta.
The show, yes, honey, horrible working title.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
For one hundred degrees here today.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So I was I was new to reality television and
for me, I had to like learn on the job.
You got to take it till you make it a
little bit when you're when you're starting off into a
new phase in your career. I'm not one of those
people's like I've never done before, so let me just
like shy away from it. No, I'm going to accept
(11:26):
the role, and I'm going to research the position, and
I'm going to be better than everyone else. That was
my philosophy going into producing The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I said, I'm just going to follow.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The blueprint and and follow and soak up what my
bosses are telling me.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
They know this genre, I don't. I was.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I was a sponge and I soaked up all the
experience and I was the best thing about that season.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
As a producer, I never complained.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
My other producing team complained a lot, and I was like, no,
I'm happy to be here and I'm grateful to be here.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What just complaining in the business look like, right, Because
I think people talk about entertainment and stuff, you know,
And here's the thing you have to be quick on
in television production. Things go wrong. Yeah, things are always
going to go wrong. There's a memory card loss and
cameras down, so you know, I think attitude is everything
(12:29):
for sure. But you know when you talk about like
not complaining and being able to go with the flow,
is that just part of your personality or did you
just realize like, in this biz, I just got to
be like the guy that people.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Want to work with a little bit of both.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So my prior experience working at BET as a production assistant,
I unfortunately was being egotistical because I was watching other
people be that way and I thought, I'm like, oh,
and I guess you know you should, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Be like that.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Interest Yeah, I watch other people be that and I
thought that's what you were supposed to do until I
put it my two weeks and my boss said, girl,
you can leave today like bye, And I'm like, ah,
I'm quitting. She said no, I'm actually letting you go early.
So that was very humbling for me because I wasn't
(13:25):
I wasn't behaving in the way as somebody who was
grateful for the opportunity. I had success very early on
as a production assistant, and I was like, I.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Know everything, So that humbled me, Tanya.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So when I got to do the reality show and
I was like, no, I'm meant to do this, and
I learned my lesson. I'm I'm never going to complain
to this day. I just I don't complain. I think
complaining is and I'm going to say it. Complaining is
telling God he got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I like this because I don't really like to complain.
Either I'm like, let's I'm solution based or I'm just like,
it's such a waste of time to complain, Like I want,
I like you. I think I'm I like perfection and
to do the job right. But like, complaining just is
a waste of time if you ask me, but nobody's
asking me.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But no, but I agree with that, So no, don't
don't complain, don't do it.

worked for this. So when you know you cultivated your
skill set, no one can take it away from you.
No one can't because the way you were able to
navigate through those troubled waters. You know, as we all
go through in our career, it's okay because you are
(10:22):
now able to continue to apply that grit and that
hunger into every level of your life.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Amazing. Okay, So tell me as you're working your way
up the ladder, I want to know some of those
times that you needed to dig deep for that grit.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Look, my first reality show job was the Real Housewives
of Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Job here right now, let's dive right into it.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, season one, we did not know what the show
was going to be called. It was called Ladies of Hotlanta.
The show, yes, honey, horrible working title.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
For one hundred degrees here today.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So I was I was new to reality television and
for me, I had to like learn on the job.
You got to take it till you make it a
little bit when you're when you're starting off into a
new phase in your career. I'm not one of those
people's like I've never done before, so let me just
like shy away from it. No, I'm going to accept
(11:26):
the role, and I'm going to research the position, and
I'm going to be better than everyone else. That was
my philosophy going into producing The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I said, I'm just going to follow.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The blueprint and and follow and soak up what my
bosses are telling me.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
They know this genre, I don't. I was.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I was a sponge and I soaked up all the
experience and I was the best thing about that season.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
As a producer, I never complained.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
My other producing team complained a lot, and I was like, no,
I'm happy to be here and I'm grateful to be here.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What just complaining in the business look like, right, Because
I think people talk about entertainment and stuff, you know,
And here's the thing you have to be quick on
in television production. Things go wrong. Yeah, things are always
going to go wrong. There's a memory card loss and
cameras down, so you know, I think attitude is everything
(12:29):
for sure. But you know when you talk about like
not complaining and being able to go with the flow,
is that just part of your personality or did you
just realize like, in this biz, I just got to
be like the guy that people.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Want to work with a little bit of both.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So my prior experience working at BET as a production assistant,
I unfortunately was being egotistical because I was watching other
people be that way and I thought, I'm like, oh,
and I guess you know you should, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Be like that.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Interest Yeah, I watch other people be that and I
thought that's what you were supposed to do until I
put it my two weeks and my boss said, girl,
you can leave today like bye, And I'm like, ah,
I'm quitting. She said no, I'm actually letting you go early.
So that was very humbling for me because I wasn't
(13:25):
I wasn't behaving in the way as somebody who was
grateful for the opportunity. I had success very early on
as a production assistant, and I was like, I.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Know everything, So that humbled me, Tanya.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So when I got to do the reality show and
I was like, no, I'm meant to do this, and
I learned my lesson. I'm I'm never going to complain
to this day. I just I don't complain. I think
complaining is and I'm going to say it. Complaining is
telling God he got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I like this because I don't really like to complain.
Either I'm like, let's I'm solution based or I'm just like,
it's such a waste of time to complain, Like I want,
I like you. I think I'm I like perfection and
to do the job right. But like, complaining just is
a waste of time if you ask me, but nobody's
asking me.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But no, but I agree with that, So no, don't
don't complain, don't do it.
