Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
His way up with Angela Yee and it is a
Wealth Wednesday. You know, we love this and we'll be
doing some beauty things today, which I also love. I
got my co host Stacy Tisdale here with me.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Happy Wealth Wednesdays, everybody, we are going to go away
more than beauty, because beauty's more than skin deep. And
that's why we're so excited to have Cliff Premire here.
And Cliff is a serial entrepreneur. You might know him
as a celebrity hairstylist or from his show on beet
wig Out. But you wigged out really early, my friend.

(00:37):
I believe that you were fourteen years.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Old making money when.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
You started doing hair professionally. How did that happen? So?

Speaker 4 (00:46):
I feel like when you're doing something that you love
and you're like a child, it just you fall in
love with it, right, And I really do feel like
hair was like my first love. I used to love
doing hair so much that like when I would do
people here, I will forget to even get paid. What
It started off with the Barbie dolls, and then it
started off with friends, and then friends turned into clients
and then ever since then it was a rap.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
You had one of those heads with the hair on
the doll heads.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
I used to order them. So when my mom would
pay me, you know, for the weekly chores, I would
go load up a little American Express card. I will
get it from k Murder Walmart, and then I would
go on Amazon order it. It would come in and
I would start doing all types of stuff, hair, color, perms, cuts, straightening,
like anything I could learn. I was doing it on

(01:34):
the manequins.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
So you're doing hair in your room with you, with
all the mannequins and the dolls and stuff. But somehow,
what was it by nineteen you had made your first
million dollars?

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, so I stopped.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
How does that happened? Because I said, in my room
and do stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
So if you're going only fans, Stacey, you can probably
make a million.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Other conversations.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
So here's the thing with the mannequins. So the mannequins
were only a thing that I did like maybe the
first six months. After that, you know, friends turned clients,
their parents turned clients, and then I started working in
a salon. So I was working in my mom's basement
at first, and every hair salon in Delaware wanted me
to work in their salon, and I was scared, like

(02:16):
I'm like, uh uh like that it's one seventy five
a week, Like who's gonna be able to afford that?
Like I'm like, mom, that's a big bill. That means
seven hundred a month, Like I can't pay that. But
by the grace of God, one salon opened. Owner her
name is Patience. Y'all know patients cartis, Yeah, I know Patience.
She reached out to me and when I went to

(02:37):
their salon, it was just something about the vibe, like
it didn't feel uppity, it didn't feel like I had
to be super professional. It was in the hood, but
it was like a it was just fun. It reminds
you of like what's that.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Movie Beauty Like barbershops?

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, barbershop. It was just like a twist of everything.
It had like all these different girls working in there.
And what I loved about working there is like every
girl they were all older than me, but they all
welcomed me with open arms and it was no hate.
And I went in there and I just hit the
go button. I went hard. So for a couple of years,
Patience she also was helping me like construct little tours

(03:14):
like I would go to different cities and you know,
take appointments, do classes, sell hair. I had sell, you know,
was selling my products and stuff. And by the time I.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Was creating products at this point, yeah, I'm still can't
get my head around from the room to the million dollars.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Well you and I think what really helped me was
working around women who were like almost thirty and I'm
like sixteen seventeen, I'm starting to now hold myself accountable
like how they're holding themselves accountable. So I'm like, uh uh,
like I need to work like I got kids, like,
you know, because that's how they were working. So even
like I went to a vocational high school and my
senior year, every day I would get out at ten

(03:49):
forty five and I would go straight to the salon.
I would be in a salon tat like two am.
When the stars would come to this city, they would
definitely come and check in with me, and I just
kind of I remember when I was nineteen, I went
over my account history with my financial advisor and he
was just like he just kept going like and I'm like,

(04:12):
what why you keep doing that? And he like, you know,
you made like one point three million since you were sixteen.
And I'm like that's really And I'm like, well, we're
in the money.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, like what I spend it up here, that's what happens.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
But I did accumulate that, and like I said, just
from like touring classes, selling hair products behind a chair. Yeah,
I have.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
A question a couple of different things here. You talked
about getting paid money to do chores. Right, Sometimes things
like that early on actually helped you become better at
money when you're earning money at home and not even
realizing this is me figuring out how to make money
and then invest into myself.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
No, I really did. I feel like I just was
one of them young people. Like you know how some
people might come up to you and be like, oh,
what you want to be when you grow up as
a kid. I always said a hairstylist, Like you know
how some might be like a firefighter police. No, I
was like a hairstyle last like can I plan in
your hair? Like? Hair was always just what I wanted
to do. And again I had that mature mindset, like

(05:11):
if you gave me some money, like you know, Christmas
time would come around my mom. I remember one Christmas
I was like I had just turned nineteen, and she
was like, here, I'm paying your rent for Christmas. I right,
took that money and brought some hair and I flipped it.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's that's a legal way to flip things.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And when it comes to charging people, right, because when
you first started working, you were pretty young and you
had never worked in an actual salon before, how were
you able to know what to charge people? Because sometimes
that's another issue, like what are these prices looking like?
Because certain people would pay some people. You know, I
know clients always be beefing about the price, So how
do you gauge that?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
So when I was in my mom basement, I was
charging forty five dollars for a sewing and I remember
one really yes, and I was so good. And I
remember once I got into the salon, patients was like
she literally he kept telling me like you have to
bring it up, like you have to. So I remember
I went from forty five to eighty five. A month
later we went to one hundred. Then I went to

(06:08):
one twenty five. Then I went to one fifty. Then
it was two hundred, then it was two fifty. I
mean now it's up there because of you know, all
my accolades and how long I've been doing it. But
I feel like as you grow, as your talent gets better,
because you know, everybody is born with talent, but it's
about the skill you get skilled over keep doing it,

(06:29):
you know what I'm saying. So you might going know
how to sing, but if you keep practicing, that becomes
a better skill. So as my skill got better, I
charged more. H As I have more of an experience
to offer my clients, I was able to charge more.
So I just think a lot of people they complain,
But I feel like if a person has given you
an experience, like if they're taking you to the wash bowl,

(06:51):
shampooing your hair with the steamer on, penetrating your scalp,
massaging your scalp, you know you feeling like you had
a hairspot, they're trimming your hair to takeing care of it,
then yes, like you should definitely want to pay.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's so funny, you're so into you're so naturally doing
a hairstylist and you're talking about that and now that's
still like your focus, but there's a lot so much more.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah to you.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Next was the next step be et.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
So be Et came about in twenty either twenty seventeen
or twenty eighteen. But I just remember, like my populicist
got me a press interview in New York and it
was a thing called hair Story, and I just went
on there. I was being myself, Like they asked me, Oh,
what's your favorite celebrity client. I'm like, oh, Mine's was Joscelyn.

(07:40):
I remember when I went and knocked on her door
for the first time to do her hair, and she
opened the door like what's up ho, And they thought
that was hilarious. But I was just being myself because
I feel like you could still be a hairstylist and
still be professional and still have personality, like you don't
have to be like sod By the book. And I
remember within twenty four hours. You know, nowadays you can
get a million views and everybody like, oh please, But

(08:03):
this was like in twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen, And
I remember, in twenty four hours, we hit a million
views on Facebook, a million views on Instagram just off
of that. But I think the biggest thing was people
loved my personality and they loved how transparent I was
and how young, and just you know, I knew what
I was talking about right. So they called me back. Well,
they was like, we gotta have them come back, bring

(08:24):
them back, please, bring them back. Thinking like a business person,
I created a whole Siszlereal because they was like, we
need more of a Cliff, Like we need more of him.
So I'm like, I'm telling my publicists like, girl, I
want to show She like, well, let's get it rocking.
I created a whole Sizzle Real of my own concept.
And when we went and met with them, we had
lunch and I laid that Sizzle Real video out and

(08:46):
they watched it and they were just like, it's done.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Wow, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
This is really something that you were meant to do
in so many different ways, the way things lined up
for you and people that came into your life and
the way things transpired.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I want to ask you.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Now because when you first walked in, we were talking
about your brick and mortar location opening up.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
But you've been so successful on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
And it's always hard for people to figure out like
direct to consumer is amazing because of the margins that
you experienced there. But this is a whole nother ballgame,
So talk to me about what that journey's been like
because your TikTok shop has been amazing.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yes, so I'm not going to lie to y'all. Like online,
like do you know selling stuff online is super easy.
You don't have to pay no rent, you don't have
to you know, you can just kind of ship your orders.
You know, your customer support you online. But I wanted
to do something that I could really like. People can
pull up, they can meet me. They can if they're
not getting their hair done, they can just experience the

(09:43):
whole cliff, the mere feeling. Because it's just more than
just taking your money. I want you to really understand
that anything I sell I really use and I love.
I want you to come in and see the esthetic.
You know, if I'm there, of course you can meet me.
But it's just something about Okay, I'm always thinking ways
to take it up a couple of notches, and it's like, Okay,
everybody can do an online store, just like everybody can

(10:05):
do a store, but what about my store is going
to be different? So of course we have like this
whole new estatic. You know, I got floors by the
best person in the city. His name is DSD. He
does works for like Rick Ross and Boozy and them.
But my esthetic alone is just going to make people
want to buy, like you know what I'm saying. And yeah,

(10:25):
it's it's definitely different. Though I've so far spent one
hundred and eleven thousand dollars still counting, yes, because I
did not want to spend it. But it was it's honestly,
it was something that I just kind of woke up
one day and was like, I want to do a
store with a salon in a warehouse. And I remember
I just went looked at a couple locations with a

(10:47):
landlord and I mean not a landlord. I'm sorry, relative, and.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
You gotta go.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I feel like I'm missing this step. You got the
store and everything, when did the products? I mean, you
became an quite an entrepreneur.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
So I was selling my silk in and this since
I was sixteen, still in high school, I had met
with a chemist and.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
This is crazy.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you here that sun
I'm cracking up. When I was sixteen and I was
doing the things I was doing, we didn't really have
a lot of celebrity hair stylists. So just imagine like
me being so young, everybody was just coming at me.
Not in a bad way, but like clif hey you
should do this, Oh create an app? You know. So

(11:30):
I'm young, I'm like, whoa, you know, like which way
do I go? But I remember this one guy told me.
He said, listen, you could be behind a chair all
you want, but you gotta have that tangible money products.
That is what will carry you on and on and on.
And I'm like, hmm, so I remember. You know, I
was always known for having like super straight, silky hair

(11:51):
my clients. You know, the hair was always blown straight.
And I'm like, I want like a straightening spray or something.
And I remember I started working on this in tenth
grade and I launched the December of twenty fourteen. And
it was one of them things that I was still
trying to understand business. So I would like get a

(12:12):
hundred of them, sell out, be out of stock for
like three or four months, and then like when when
the followers at asks, hey, where's the straightness spray? I
need more? I will restock. But it was never nothing
that I you know what, I'm scared because I always thought, okay,
this this spray is only thirty dollars, like if I
sell one hundred, that's just three thousand dollars. You know,

(12:33):
That's what I thought in my head. Now it's completely different.
I mean I can run up two hundred thousand in
just like two days off of a thirty dollars spread.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
You're in two hundred and fifty beauty supply or.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Oh we count? How did that happen? My product? I
ain't gonna lie. TikTok had a big playing that just
because of how many people were purchasing all of like
the good reviews and just people seeing a momentum that
I have, Like, you know, I take pictures in front
of my orders and stuff, you know, just trying to
motivate people. A lot of people have seen my journey.

(13:05):
They've seen it from the show or me being behind
a lot of artists and stuff. And I had this
phase where I did music like people. I've always been
trying to figure it out. But I think when people
see the groundwork that you're putting in and how hard
you're going, it makes them want to purchase it and
be a part of your success. So I just think

(13:26):
the store is kind of I mean, my team. I
have a good team, don't get me wrong. I'll tell them, like, look,
at one point we were going to do Target and stuff,
but I heard some things about just you know, being
very costly and it costs to be next to Neutrogena
and if you don't sell, and I'm like, okay.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
They can make people go out of business.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Oh, it's happened. So I didn't want to go that far.
But as far as, like, you know, the Korean beauty supplies,
I'm like, let's do it. So we're in two hundred
and fifty now, but if you hit me about the
end of the year, we might be in like a
thousand periods.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I will ask you. He mentioned the music career too,
Let's flash back to that. What made you decide to
do that and then what made you kind of step
back from it.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
I'm being burnt out with hair at one point. I
really feel like.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I fell out of love with burnout as real.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah, I'm torn all around the world with different people,
revolving your whole entire life around them, and feeling like
you don't have no time for you. Like just imagine
waking up every day and you going on a road
with this person and that person, and you looking like
a p foul and it's like, dang, what this person
got something going on every day? When am I going
to have time to breathe?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, because that's the priority.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh is You're not the priority what I have to
do for my clients.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
It would be times I would be away from home
for four weeks and I'm like, dang, I gotta still
pay rent, Like you know what I'm saying. So I
remember feeling burnt out. I remember like and I was
tired of like, wait, you know how you have to
sometimes do that twenty eight I need my money, right,
you know what I'm saying. So I remember when I
was working with Jocelyn and I don't care what nobody say.

(15:02):
I think Jocelyn is a.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Star and I I was with her, not her, I
was with her yesterday.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah. I think she is a star. She has that
like star appeal, like her whole presence, right, And I
remember working with her and I'm like, well, shoot, if
she could do it, I could do it. And I
had just started trying to do music and at first
it was terrible and yeah, people were like, oh, stick
the hair, what are you doing? How you come from
being one of the world's biggest celebrity hairstylists to want

(15:29):
to do music. Oh you're never going to win. You know,
you're a gay man that wears wigs. Blah blah blah blah.
And I felt like another thing. I was so comfortable
with being a hairstylist. I was you know, nobody was
doing what I was doing. I was torn all across
the world. I made my money, you know what I'm saying.
So I'm like, let me let me start something new.

(15:49):
Did it? I started getting fans from it. But then
when that money started calling, you know that product, money
is just different money. I'm like, I'll be I'm not
about to sit up here and pay no twenty thirty
thousand for no music video.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah music, you really got to make a heavy investment,
and it takes it could take a long time.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I was tired of investing and not seeing my return.
So I'm not saying I'm done completely. But right now
we in them stores and we all online.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
What are some of the challenges that you had becoming
an entrepreneur in this product, Because when you look at
your story, it's just perfect.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
No it's not perfect.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
It looks technically business perfect. You look onto this when
that happened, this when that happened. But I'm sure it
wasn't easy.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
It wasn't easy. I remember trying to sell my products, well,
my silk, and it missed. When I used to be
on a road and oh my goodness, some people would
it would take me three weeks of ship, two weeks
to ship. And what I've gained from this whole entire
experience is just customer satisfaction is everything, because if I
order from your website and it takes three months, I'm

(16:50):
never going to order again. I don't care how good
the product is. And one thing about TikTok it really
because they don't give you the money until after the
person receives their goods. Normally it's like eight to fifteen days.
So I remember as the orders were coming in every day,
come on, y'all, come on, come on, we gotta get
a thousand out today, Like I need my money, you
know what I'm saying. So it's taught me how to

(17:12):
number one do super fast shipping because at one point,
I'm not gonna lie to you. When I was on
a road with a lot of artists and stuff and
I would be trying to ship stuff, people used to
call me a scammer. They thought I was scamming them
because it took so long, and all I have is
my name. You know, nobody gave me the name. I
had to work hard for it. So I kind of
scaled back. I did the music stuff, and when I

(17:35):
came back into the hair, I came back full force.
I knew everything I needed to do, and that's why
I got my warehouse. So every day when I walk
in that warehouse with my employees, I know I got
a purpose. I got people depending on me that take
care of their family. So it's like no looking back,
Like I can't give up. I gotta just keep going.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
You never really were It sounds like that goal oriented,
Like a lot of entrepreneurs. You know, these are my goals,
this is my business plan. You and I have talked
about this before. You're like, I'm just following.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm just following what God is placing in front of me.
Of course I do have goals, but I feel like
sometimes if you make a goal for yourself and you
don't make the goal, it's I don't know, it's weird.
Like it's like the things I put the least energy in,
Like even if it's like a TV show. If I
get all excited about it, something may happen, you know
what I'm saying. But if I be like I don't care,

(18:26):
like whatever, you know, I just feel like when you
don't put a lot of energy into it, you just
keep focused on what you have going on, all good things.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Start to come attached to outcomes.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Focus, I don't go into anything expecting anything.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Just it's good to be flexible.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
You might start off thinking this is going to happen,
and then if the path ends up going another way,
you should be Okay, we're going with that.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, and congratulations, I got to invite.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
For the Browner Brothers Award, So you are actually gonna
be getting the Beauty Icon Award.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
How does that feel?

Speaker 4 (18:57):
It feels really good because you know, when I was sixteen,
I remember the first time I ever went to Brian
and Brothers. I went just you know, as a consumer,
and I remember like I probably had like ten thousand
followers on Instagram and I went with patients and I
was so shocked. People were coming up to me crying
and like, and I'm looking like at them as they're

(19:19):
coming up to me, like what is going on? Why
are you crying? Girl like and they would be like,
I look up to you. You I love oh, like
I mean like crying, like real life, you know, tears crying.
So I remember the following year I got my first
booth ever there I was an exhibitor and I've been
with them ever since. So just to see them because
I'm probably like one of the youngest ones that they
are doing that too. But I feel like, Okay, finally

(19:42):
they see how hard I've been working because I feel
like Brianna Brothers. They like to base it off of
the older people, but you know, I've been in this
for over thirteen years.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
I started when I was thirteen.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Ye like, you know what I mean, But that that
is true.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
There's people that have been doing this for a long time,
but they didn't st as young as you. Yeah, so
while you have all these years and you're still so young,
it doesn't fit.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
So it doesn't like they're like, oh, he's still young.
But it's like, Okay, I started in twenty thirteen, you
know what I'm saying. It's twenty fifteen now, so that's
a wow. Yeah, that's over a decade.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
How do you tell somebody that is coming and requesting something,
but you don't think it's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
As somebody who.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Is an expert in this field and beauty, you want
to give the client what they want, but at the
same time you sometimes may know better.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
I normally just keep it, you know, keep it real.
I'll just be like, you know, I know this is
what you want. But you know, if you want me
to do my thing, and you know you feel as
though if you trust me, I think you should just
I always tell them like, just you know, just trust me.
I got you. Like, let me tell you when we
went to the AMA's with Sexy Red, and I always

(20:53):
go to her with my vision and my whole thing.
I always just try to clean her up, like for
award shows, different than it every day, right, And I
remember I went to her, I'm like, Sexy, I think
we should do a nice icy white bob, super clean,
no baby here. I want that vibe to be super bounty.
And I remember I was so excited explaining it to

(21:14):
her and she was just like, I don't want no
bob and I call her assistant. I'm like, we gotta
get her to wear the vib. So we convinced her
and then I got all the way to Vegas, and
she was like, I don't think I'm getting no ob
And I'm like, and I told her a sistant, I'm like,
well all I brought was a OB, so I don't
know what we're gonna do. So he was like, oh,
well she has more wigs. I'm like, I don't do that.

(21:36):
And finally when we did the fitting, she was like,
I think I'm gonna do the vibe And literally I
remember the next day when we posted it. I mean
we had press here there, everywhere, like everyone loved the clean, short,
sassy bob like they loved it, you know. So I'm
just really excited on working with her in the future,

(21:57):
having her trust me. But I love. What I love
about Sexy is she used to be a hair stylist.
Oh okay, and she really respects like me as a hairstylist.
Like even though she says she didn't want the vibe,
Like the personal assistant said, like, Sexy will literally be
on people about her hair. He said, I'm the first
one that she literally just sits there all the way

(22:19):
untime done and be like I love it, like he says,
anybody else, she'd be like, hey can you cut this?

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh? I don't want it's gotta feel good.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah, Oh, it feels marvelous.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
There's nothing like being able to trust your stylists too,
when you can just come in there and be like,
what do you think? Yeah, you do what you do
and I'm gonna just follow your lead. Yeah, and that's
important you have that type of vision. It's like a
real art.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah. It is, like hair is more than just doing
a style, like you gotta make sure it really hit you.
Gotta make sure it's impactful.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
You know what's the most important lesson Your journey has
taught you about money.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
That money comes and goes. I will tell you that,
like as fast as you get it. Ooh, it's as
fast as you because you can spend it faster than
you can take getting it. I will definitely say that.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I will agree with that.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, and that's taught you to do what it just
taught me.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Every dollar I get, I definitely invest. I don't care
what it is. I will not every dollar half everything
I get, I reinvest because you know I would say this,
I would rather have a million dollars come into my
account and invest most of that because I know I
will always have inventory. Inventory equals money you get what
I'm saying. So I may take five hundred thousand and

(23:33):
invest all of that and be able to make maybe
like three million from that.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
You can flip it.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
What kind of things do you invest in?

Speaker 4 (23:40):
My broad ups, that's it. They be trying to get
me to do stocks and stuff. I'm gonna be real.
I don't understand it as many. Yeah, people always say that,
but I think it's because I don't really care about it.
So they it's like going through one air and out
the other, and I'm like, m but I do want
to get into property real estate. Yeah, but the flip

(24:02):
is just not as profitable.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
It depends though, on what type of real estate. Like
say you have this warehouse. You could buy that and
own it and then and then later on if you
decide you want to sell it. And also things like
really appreciate and value, So you could buy something now
and then hold on to it, rent it out, make
money from that, and then sell it for more later
and it's like you didn't spend no money and made

(24:26):
money off.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
You're not at the whims of your landlord that some
people have to go out of business because of that.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, even if you look at the McDonald's story, and
they said, the business is more about the real estate
than it is about the locations and leasing that out.
But I also feel like you do have to have
some type of passion for you and you know what,
how you get that passion by educating yourself about it. Definitely, yeah,
that's for sure. But even with the stocks I think

(24:53):
just happened. There's apps on your phone that you could
just play with it a little, just so you can
understand it.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
I tried it, and like I remember, it was there
for like I probably put like maybe like a couple
of thousand in there. And I remember like four months
past and I only had got like two hundred dollars
and I called my manager, said, girl, I'm taking this
money out of here.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
The reason that the whole stock investing thing, it's so
much deeper than your money. Why you like it while
you don't like it? And it can be a great journey,
it's more to it than that.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
I was like, look all this up and down, it's
playing with my money. Let me just take it on out.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
All right.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Well, look, we're going to be following your journey. But
I do say, like you already have a financial planner
maybe you need a wealth manager because you also want
to protect your assets that you have now, So just
always making sure that you have those things in place.
Because listen, at the end of the day, if you
feel like I'm want to take a break for a year,
you want to be able to do that really comfortably
and know everything is safe, of course, and protect your burnout.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yes, I don't want to get burned out from products.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
You are awesome.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
So we haven't. Do you have a grand opening date
yet or a month or so.

I just got a call before I got in here.

so it may be like a week or two as Okay,
