I mean all we know people who know people who
was in touch with the people that we already knew,

You already tell me you international? How did how did
we get here?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Brandy?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I mean, I'm an Atlantic kid, So I grew up here, Uh,
went to more House, went to Emory Law, and then
I worked at a big farm in the city and
get mo press you like Yeah, just a big firm. Nah,
just a big firm in the city. Yeah. Used to
represent a bunch of folks. Met Steve through one of
my clients, started representing him and then uh he called

(04:13):
me in twenty sixteen and was like, Yo, I want
you to leave your firm, And I was like what
you mean? And I'm supposed to be like what you mean?
And so after some deliberation, I left, moved to LA
and then started representing him. And then you know, as
that kind of grew, the stuff started happening in Africa,

(04:35):
Middle East, Europe wherever, and I've been just kind of
continuing to represent folks. So as I started there, then
just other entertainment people, other clients, other businesses. But all
of it. The reason I love what y'all doing cause
all the folks that I wanted to represent when I
was at Austin was folks like us, right, Like we

(04:56):
don't necessarily always have like super high level legal experience
from especially like in the business setting, Like we can
hire the best criminal lawyers known to mankind, but we
don't have we don't have folks that know how to
do deals and business that look like us, that represent
people like us. So that was really my goal. And
so that's what I've been doing for the last you know,

(05:18):
twenty plus years, I think doing it successfully, but represent entrepreneurs,
established business people, entertaining folks that doing what y'all doing
all of the above, but giving them like the legal
services I think people deserve.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I don't like how you're working with people that's doing
what we're doing but not us. Well that's when the
girl be like, I hope I find a dude just
like you.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Well, I mean, I know your SENIORO, so like CEO Chad.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
That ain't my fucking CEO, but you got your Hey,
you better give them a paperwork I have.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
No Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry I didn't. I didn't
mean to reference. Yeah what a mine is? But man, yeah,
plain and simple. You're sitting in the chair, so you're
asking the question, so you're the man.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, like I said, I was just no, that ain't
my se I don't work for nobody.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I work with. I miss I don't work for nobody.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
I misspoke. I just generally referenced legally that you do
not work for anybody. Yeah, got your own business exactly?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know how that should be?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Do I start them up every day. So folks like you,
they got their own business. I start those businesses, I
advise those businesses, I help run those businesses.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I got a few that I'm coming out with this year.
I don't want to see them all on this show.
But I got some ship that people ain't got new
idea that it's gonna be me.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh, I know it's gonna be legit.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
We're gonna wrap.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, let's do.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
We're gonna rerap.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
So what kind of advice would you give the entrepreneurs
who may be watching this, who now at their level
yet where they can afford the services.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, I think you gotta think beyond like what you
think you can afford today, because there are so many
people that are willing to work with folks whatever their
financial situation is, and that they believe in like what
they're doing. And so you just got to speak to
people that are willing to help like y' I can't
tell you how many clients that I took on where
the person said they didn't have the money and it
didn't matter, because what I always believe in is the

(07:31):
people right. And so if you had a great story,
you had a great drive, you had a great movement,
I would represent you. It wasn't even pro bono for me.
It was just like I want to see you win,
and especially for people to look like us, right, Like,
we don't have people to just give us anything. So
for me, if I'm having a position or opportunity to
like give to some folks that helps them like grow

(07:51):
their businesses, like I'm in there one hundred percent. So
for me, that's what I would start with. It's just like,
don't worry about what the money looks like. If you
got a story to tell and you got a business
to like push, like go push it, and like people
are going to believe and support you. It comes with
the energy of what you're bringing. So if you got
the energy, you got the belief, you got the knowledge,

(08:12):
folks would come along whether the money's there or not.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
What's your journey been like the past twenty years?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
So you know, I mean, it's been blessed to be
quite honest, man, Like you know, there are people that
work for the firms that I work for, the firm
that I work for, and they look like us. They
don't make it to where I made it to. And
I don't mean that it's like a pad on the back.
It's just like, my journey's been great. I was there
for fifteen years. I was a partner at the firm's
one of the biggest firms in the world, and like

(08:39):
I left willingly, right, Like, you don't get to leave
willingly right them folks, you need to get pushed out.
You either get pushed out. And you know, there were
folks that asked me, like, how could you be leaving
this opportunity, And my view was, I don't even feel
like I'm leaving the opportunity. I feel like I'm accepting
another one that might take me to a different place.
So the journey's been great. Man, I've seen the world

(09:00):
like five six times over. I've represented some of the
best talent, best businesses that you can represent. I mean,
I love what I do. I love being folks, advisor, lawyer, speaker, everybody,
every one of my clients got my text phone.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Let me ask you this, let's do it. What's one
of the coldest deals you've been a part of?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Without violating the India.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, no, it's cool.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I love the deal, like the initial deal, but I
like the initiatives thrown in there. But like, yeah, and
you gotta buy me a far and get all my
niggas hair cut, like the extras.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
That I think. Man, Like, you know, if I were
to give two, they're kind of the same but a
little bit different. It was a deal we deal with
Kevin Hart to take him to the Middle East, and
then most recently, like the end of last year, did
a deal with Jason Moore Aquaman to take him to
the Middle East, and like they've.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Got the Middle East connected.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
I want to go, yeah, well we got you. Yeah,
the challenges, But you know, I think the reason I
say those two is because they combined like every single
bit of knowledge that I gained over the last twenty years,
negotiation people skills, being able to deal with like multiculture
or whatever. And then you deal with two of the
biggest stars in the world and they different camps, right,

(10:21):
Like Kevin Hart people way different than Jason Moore's people.
So being able to like manage that get those deals
done from across the world, right, Like, that was as
good as it gets.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
What deal took you the longest to close?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I guess the longest deal I've ever done is probably
maybe nine months.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
But what's coming up next?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Man?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Man, I think. You know, look, when I'm I'm growing
my business, continue to like pick up clients day in
day out. Yeah, I represent a bunch of talent that's
like coming up with some dope projects. I'm super excited
about that.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Now, let me ask you this, do you work so
cause you know in the entertainment business there are a
lot of people who are unknown, but they got the money.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Do you work with them? Also?

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah? Yeah, I work. I represent like a little bit,
so think about it from the talent sign. Yeah, but
I also represent companies that put money into like talent.
I represent you know, people that look like me and
you that you will never like you seeing walk across
the street, and they paying you know, hundreds thousands millions

(11:30):
of dollars for whatever to present something or to to
buy you know, to particularly buy in. So it's all business.
But like then add entertainment.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know, let me ask you this final question, the
last one in the deposition. All good, What advice would
you give to the up and coming talent just talent
in general?

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Uh, how could they protect their intellectual property on on
that level where they're just starting that where they may
not have the money. What kind of steps can they
take to start protecting their intellectual properly.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I think, man, you know, to be like a little
bit selfish cast somebody like me, you know what I mean,
like because I give advice all the time, whether it's
what can they reach you? Yeah, so you can reach me.
My company is called law Corp LLC. My email is
branding at Low Corp l A w C O r
P llc dot com. And then my instagram is mister Bislow.

(12:23):
So you can any of those places. I'm free available.

like whatever it is that you need protecting m R
