(05:18):
Back to the Baller Alert Show start Ferrari Simmons, Sam
Sue Solo, Fall Alert balla Alert ball Welcome to the
ball Alert Show with Ferrari Simmons best friend man. We
got a special episode. This is one of my guys
right here. Um internationally known Miguel Wilson. How's it going, sir?

(05:40):
And doing a great brother? How you doing good? Now?
I was talking to Sue, he was talking, um, you
know on the side the other day and I was like, man,
I really want to talk to the dude who's doing
my suit for my wedding because he actually not only
does he have stories across the country and he does
suits for a little baby to pee to all the
very top tier people, uh down to you know, your

(06:03):
your normal none the five person. Um, he also has
this all black polo team or something like that. That's
that's right, Yeah, can we can we talk about sure?
So um, you know, as a kid that grew riding
horses in d C and uh, it was a good
experience for me. So that exposure, I feel attributed to

(06:25):
me being able to do a lot of things in life,
and so I wanted to be able to give other
kids the same opportunities I saw. I started foundation which
was called Riote Olympics, and we create uh polo teams
in the city, kid polo teams and so forth. So
our biggest plan to thing so far as we founder
of co founders for the more House Polo team, which

(06:47):
is the first and only Black Colors polo team in history. Okay,
we we all know that horses cost a lot of money,
you know, and being around and costs a lot of money.
So do you come from money? Mr Miguel, now hard,
I've never been asked that before, But no, I don't
come from money. My family, Uh we grew up in

(07:07):
northwest Washington, d c uh, you know, typical Washington seventies
Washington family, and it was a different environment like most
of us grew up in. So no, I don't come
from money. Okay, because when I hear horses, I'm like, oh, okay,
I know that right. Well, you know, the thing is
my my whole experience, you know, my grandmother different sis

(07:30):
a riding lessons, but a lot of my varriety came
from me working at the barns, cleaning up the horses
and so forth in order in exchange for my ride.
So uh, you know, and that's one thing I like
about it too, because what we do is we you know,
teaches kids responsibility. Gives my opportunities, but also uh they're
learning about working work ethic uh and developing uh you know, responsibilities.

(07:54):
All right, now, let's talk about these suits man, because
you're not at the Phipps Plaza store, which story you.
I'm in my DC store. So you watch the Harvard man.
So you let me sit around here. But he gotta store,
so he gotta store in New York. You gotta store
with Miami and we all over the East coach boy. Yeah,
I try to zoom past that. So you actually have

(08:20):
your own stores where you can carry your brands, where
your customers can come in, try things on, possibly meet you.
Do you have multiples? Yeah? So we have locations in Atlanta, uh, Miami,
d C in New York. Now, these people you have

(08:41):
all you have all types of clientele. You have your
I've seen some twins coming in your store and fips
the other day. Um, and I wouldn't I wouldn't try
to ear hustle, but you know they're your normal guy.
Do you have me fly got come up in there?
You know? Uh you know we we we were on
the radio that I've seen a little baby tell you

(09:02):
in the post. I've seen, um man, I hate name dropping,
but I've seen all these wide varieties I've seen. Uh,
two chains are right here, man, snoop, you did her.
I just thought that you change. Well, okay, let's talk
about you did talk about this brandcause let's talk about
the Brandon aspect because this is very difficult to bring yourself,

(09:25):
especially in places like New York, Atlanta, DC, Miami for
you to stick out or what how do you do?
What do you do to bring yourself? Like? How are
you getting these clients like this? Well, you know it
started out with me identifying area that nobody else really
operating and that's uh wedding a tire ferment. So you know,

(09:48):
the onely things I tell people all the time is that,
you know, I think people starting businesses always think they
need to focus in on Everything's scared to miss something,
so they want to feel a one shot, that's all.
And I think what's uh more effective marketing is when
you become a specialist and you become the person that
people go to for one particular thing. So for me,

(10:08):
it was wedding and time for men. You know, no
one was really uh focused on doing really nice to
toxedos and normal ware. So that's where I really uh
was able to establish my my brand. I created the
tagline because it's his day too. And you know, there
resonates with people who are looking for something special for
that day. So it's it's more than the clothes. We

(10:31):
also often experience. So I think from a brand new
standpoint in the wedding space, women are the ones who
do the research and eighty one to say, baby, go
over here, won't want you tuxedo from this guy. We're
gonna do cake for this lady. Don't do all this.
So I think that uh, my page stands out to
women when they're getting married, and they tend to, uh

(10:54):
send the grooms to me. Now that's that's that's what
happened to the shoah sent me your page and then
I said you d M and then we linked up exactly. Yeah,
you actually have me d DJ one of your your events.
Let's talk about your events, because I think I don't
think to solo knows about this event that you're doing.
She needs to go. Um, let's talk about these events.

(11:15):
Room classes. Sure, So I started the Atlanta Fashion Polo
Classes and it's a they party is it was a weekend. Actually,
the events we do and we especially have a fashion show,
we have a polo matches and you know, the whole

(11:36):
concept there is that we want to expose our community
to something they normally don't get the seen. You know
a lot of times when you go to polo matches,
it's uh, you know, European white coat and my party.
It's our culture being celebrated to the extent. And even that, um,
we only served black owned spirits. So it's a say

(12:02):
culture class, you gotta go. So this is this is
the vibe for real. Yeah, car keep going. Keeps have
been Bailey's been our sponsor for the last four years
and they will be our sponsor this year. Uh. Photo
Classic weekends October eight through the tenth, and you know,
we gotta we got a formal party with day parties

(12:24):
and let me have a photo party. But all of
them are a fashion show within within itself. So it's
about the tire people from from all over the country
with the outfits paired and so forth. Uh dead a
polo match, you know, you can fly into the photo
field on helicopter. On our helicopters. We have Bentley picked
you up shuttle service. So it's it's it's really luxury

(12:45):
on tenth thousand. Okay, So I'm letting you know right
now today, at this moment, Miguel, I want a full
experience I want the whole nine, me and my girl.
We're gonna blacklicopter all yes experience. It sounds amazing. Yeah.
So Miguel, hey, real quick, quick, real quick comment. I

(13:07):
was actually gonna make to sue one of my grooms man,
but you know, it was between her and my cousin,
and I had to do my cousin. You know, so
you are actually almost gonna get her a tough out
the head of looking I would head a right to listen.
I was so ready for Miguel. I was like, oh,
I thought to be so flat flout to shut it down.

(13:29):
But then the cousin one. You know that, I guess
blood is thick family renews versus co worker stuff. I
was like, you have a family, using gonna be pressure,
so I ain't want I ain't want to. Obviously, style ranges, right,
people came from different walks. Only people have their own
personal style. How do you guide your clients into going

(13:52):
the right way? Because I'm sure you've had some people
that we're just throwing things together that would just not
get like, how do you and your staff guide these
people to make the best decisions? M hm? So you
know the first step I'd like to listen to the bride.
I like to listen to the groom and get their
vision because a lot of times, you know, they have

(14:13):
a vision or thought they've been dreaming about since childbirth,
colors the look, feel and everything. However, you know, when
someone says something that I can't visualize or don't really like,
I just tell them, you know, I understand. I think
in your mind this might look well, but I don't

(14:34):
think it's gonna look great. So I think you know,
a lot of times most of them listen to me
and my uh my advice on them. You know, things
have changed and make it more appealing. So um Jenny speaking,
you know, I get some input from the bride. But
just like with the groom, lots women don't let us
see the clothes, right, the groom never gets to see

(14:55):
the bride's dress. I'm sure for all, you haven't seen
your your lady's up down yet, so I see I'm
not allowed to see him exactly. So, so when when
Brad's come in my store, we literally asked them to
leave after they tell me, you know, whatever their vision is.
So I don't want them to see what the guys
are doing. So into that and to the wedding deck.
So we have a pretty good policy in the store

(15:18):
to keep it special for everyone, uh and give guys
the same experience and also the same experience to women
because it's something special about seeing them for the first
time in the tuxedo looking better than ever look in life,
you know, uh at the end of the out. So
that's you know how we kind of specialize in in
the whole experience too for guys. I love that. I

(15:40):
love that. Okay. Last question, which celebrity was the best
to work work with? And which celebrity was the worst
to work with? Were the hardest to work with? Okay,
So I'm gonna say by far head and above everyone
is to change in terms of the best. And a
couple of things about my experience with him that made

(16:02):
it very very special, uh. First and foremost, you know,
just uh spending time with him feel cool, down the
earth guy. But also you know, he has uh a
lot of times we talked, you know, he's talking about,
you know, collaborate with black businesses, doing stuff with other
people and giving back in a lot of way. So
so I connected him on things like that. Then he

(16:25):
did something that I haven't seen any other rapper dude,
and that he put me on his records. So if
you listen to the sect the record Southside Hole, you guys,
Personalness says Uh, I got to shoot from Miguel. You
know if Fitney will and generally speaking for a rapper
to give a designer brand recognition, sometimes they pay for

(16:51):
sometimes you know, they just give love to do Cheata
or give love to Rasashi and all these other people. Okay,
but he didn't even tell me he was doing it.
He didn't ask people anything to do it is his
management called me and say, hey man, you know actually
his uh is uh Stylus called me, said Miguel, I'm
in the studio and change and dropped his verse Dawn

(17:14):
with your name on it. It's and it's cold, And
I was like what so maybe too much later came out.
I ain't talked him about anything. So I thought that
was like cool, was thing for the culture, not just
me personally, but just the ships and culture to where
we are starting to promote each other luxury brands and
start giving recognition to each other in other areas. Like

(17:36):
we were so cool with given uh black designers five
dollar T shirt money, you know, but when it comes
to the luxury three dollars shirts or you know, spending
some real money. You know, a lot of a lot
of guys gonna do that. And to have that done
and to show me the love he did with no man,
he paid me for everything I've ever done for him. Okay,
So like I get anything free, I charged him for

(17:59):
everything on top that that, that's just unspeakable. I pray
that that's something that more UH of our UH rappers
and things do start to give more recognition. That's that.
That's one of the things I called Classic week and
I have featured UH fashion designers. I have three different

(18:19):
fashion shows of that weekend and we have ten other designers.
So you know, I try to use my platform to
share for with other designers UH and other black brains.
Like I was saying before, we only serve black owned spirits.
So we have Whitey, which is a masterpiece, Champaigne or
rose yea whiskey right out of d C. Their uncleneers

(18:41):
UH iconic gen Greenwood whiskey. So it's just a lot
of great brands and a lot of good drinking. But
it's our culture. We're celebrating us. So I think that's
what makes everything we're doing special. Okay, I just real quick,
the hardest person to work off. You know, I've had
people I didn't like working with, but I would never

(19:06):
um put anybody on blass like that. You know, I
just let God hand for that. So I only talk
about positive stuff to positive people. And I know I'm
never gonna shoot down. Yeah, I'm never. I'm never gonna
shoot one of eyes down, you know. As sometimes they
in the process of learning and figuring things out, and
uh he said that God have a bad one. Yeah, yeah,

(19:31):
real because you know, hey, God, blessie. You know, it's
so many good things happening. Sometimes people come in a class,
do your do your pathway that you know, maybe you
need to put them aside and have a conversation with
them and so forth, you know, and then they're still learning,
they're still on the journey. They ain't bumped their head
enough yet to understand. You know, you can't treat people
certain ways, you can't act a certain ways with people,
and so forth. So you know, sometimes it goes comes

(19:54):
forward circle. They come back around and keep me a
little differently, But you know, I don't worry about that.
Keep the moving well. I can't wait to see my
boy Ferrari Simmons on his webs. Yeah, so excited to
see once you came up with for him. He It's
funny because you know, like you said, mentor usually get
like super involved, there's super chatty about their wedding. But

(20:16):
I will say this man is excited about his suit.
So yes, he's excited about everything. I talked to him
extensively about his relationship with his lady, and you know,
I'm I'm engaged down too, and it seems like we're
the same place man as men, you know, really just
uh looking just that peace in life and happiness and celebrating.

(20:38):
You know, that's one special woman. So I'm really happy
for him. And I can't tell you this. He's gonna
kill him. They're gonna so crush him as his wedding.
So I just pray his lady got her stuff together
because he's playing at all. He is ready, Okay, he
is ready, all right, Betty, ready exactly. Hey, Gry, what

(21:01):
I need to do is get you on, get you
playing polo a little bit, so you want to play
my polo match man. Listen, man, if I get on
a horse, I might have fall off that thing. Man.
I don't know, man, that ain't you might you might
just get up backing. That's so you guys think, get
back corn. That's not my specialty. Put us down and
try put us you try ready to that. I'm the

(21:24):
one that is down. I'm done. Hey, I get you
on a horse and get some pacey polo in a minute,
I'm ready. Let's do it, all right. You know, we
appreciate you, man, Thank you again, No, thank you all
so much. I greatly appreciate the time and opportunity to share,
uh what we got going on. I love to try

(21:45):
to support black owned businesses as much as possible, and
and you have put in the work. So congratulations to you.
We are looking forward to your continued success and I
can't wait to see the super all right, see you.
I appreciate you, but thank you man, No, thank you.
We'll be right back with more of the Bailer Alert
show message now time poor ball or mail. Okay, dear Rory.

(22:11):
I am a hopeless romantic and I hate lowering my standards.
But the other sex, I'm twenty nine and my time
is ticking. Should I lower my standards? Yes? No? Please help?
We just talk about this anyway. So we were just
talking about this in regards to very specific things something. Now,
what I'm gonna say is, it's some things you can possibly,

(22:32):
you know, compromise on and some things you can't. Okay.
So you got to decide what are some of the
things that you can live without, What are some of
the things you can compromise with, what are some of
the things that you cannot the things that you cannot
be without? Says or sir or whatever whoever. You didn't
say if it was a man or a woman. Sounds
very feminine, so but go ahead. Well it's hard to

(22:53):
say these days, okay, So whatever it is, what I
will say is you need to figure out, again, what
are some of the things that you could live with
and some of the things you can live without, Okay,
And that's how you prioritize. Don't just be lowering your
standards just to go on any old damn date, just
just to be with any old body like you need
to make sure that this person is for you, because

(23:13):
your standards are your standards. You are who you are,
you want, what you want, you like, what you're like,
don't never be ashamed of it. Okay, if you like
fifty dollar shots at the bar. That's you don't. Don't
don't let nobody try to make you feel like no
gold digger because you like what you like. Yeah. Uh,
And usually we debate and we usually don't agree, but
I actually a agree with you on this. Uh. The

(23:36):
lower standards for nobody be be you and be unapologetically you. Um.
I will say, you know, when you do get in
a relationship, you know sometimes there will be a compromise
situation going on. But as far as standards, man, I
mean from what you said, you said, I'm a hopeless
romantic and I hate lawing my standards for the for
the others. Um nah, just be paced. The right ones

(24:01):
is gonna come wrong. Blow your whole mind to be
happy that you waited to him or her, uh you
know whoever. Um yeah, be yourself, stay, stay yourself and
keep a push. That was easy. That that ballerment was easy.
Let's go to commercially, y'all be lazy. Hold on, y'all

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
