Speaker 1 (04:28):
Thank you so much for always calling. And when we

were talking about the Barb, let's talk about Meghan the Stallion.
The cemetery where her mom is buried has increased security.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Will tell you what they've had to say about it.
It's way up.

Speaker 7 (04:42):
She's like the talk like they angela ge like they

It's way up at angela ye, angela yee. And I
kem wit is here with me today.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
Hey, hey, and.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Let's get into some yeat all right. Well, the cemetery
where Meghan the Stallion's mom is buried reportedly has had
to increase security because of threats from the Barbs. You
saw they posted the location of where her mom's grave
site is.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
I think something should be off limits, and that is
one of the things.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, according to reports, they want to make it clear
nothing has happened to the grave site yet, but they
are on high alert.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
And then Barbs be going a little crazy.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
So I can't imagine being that much of a fan
of someone that you've never met, like to the point
that you're willing to commit a felony on their behalf.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's a cult, right, and.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
You know that's it's kind of like.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Look, these women are going back and forth on vinyl
on they have their beef with each other. But this
doesn't mean you need to go in and do something
that's going to be illegal and commit a crime to
show that you support somebody's music. Just stream the song
that you like and purchase it if you can.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Or that's all you got to do something mean.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Y'all are good at doing that. Tweet something mean, but
don't don't commit a felony.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
By the way, did you see this message from Ken Barbie?
It's kem Barbie because Nicki Minaj mentioned in the song Bigfoot,
if you don't apologize to your mama in twenty four
hours is going to get uglier than Kem Barbie.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, don't play. You gotta read this whole entire post.
I mean, it's.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Ugly, all of this all right, Nia long is gonna
be playing. It's going to be playing. Catherine Jackson and
the Michael Jackson biopic, and I was looking at the
side by side of them, and I could.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
See how they can make her miel.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Isn't it his nephew, Jafar Jackson, the second youngest son
of Jamaine Jackson.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
That awesome.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, And colemen Domingo is gonna be playing Joe Jackson.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Okay, keep it out the family.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
All of that should be really exciting to see. I'm
excited for that. Ye good, Yeah, long shot out to her. She's,
by the way, in the midst of, like you know,
all of her public drama. She's been having a great
career time and that's how you really move forward, all right.
Byron Allen has made a thirty billion dollar bid for
Paramount Global in debt and equity. So they're saying this

(07:07):
is the best solution for the Paramount Global shareholders and
the bid should be taken seriously and pursued. So we'll
see what ends up happening with that, with this thirty
billion dollar bid, all right. Joe Button has called Drea
a predator because people are saying that she's pregnant by
Jayalen Green from the Houston Rockets.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
That is her rumored boyfriend. Mind you, none of these
things are confirmed.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's not confirmed that she's pregnant, it's not confirmed that
they're dating. Neither of them have said that. Is this
all rumors at this time? Jalen Green is twenty one
years old. Drea has a twenty one year old son
who is the same age as her boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I alleged boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, her alleged boyfriend. Here's what Joe Button had to say,
and cool.

Speaker 10 (07:49):
If you want a twenty one year old Google now
you've got a baby by twenty one year old, you
are a predator. It's too many horror stories of athletes
losing everything that they ever had because they're not insulated.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I don't see.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Is it her age or is it the fact that
he's a ballplayer that's about to get a huge content?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Well, I think at some point you got to blame
the ball players twenty one. You know how the body works,
and you know, if AA and B equal C.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Right, and if they're all they're together and they end
up together. Yeah, you know, so sometimes there's things that
go into relationships. It's none of our business. I talked
about Share dating younger, Madonna dating younger, Mariah Carey dating younger.
You know, it's a lot. So it's kind of like,
are you a predator? That's a really strong word. All right,
well that is your yet and when we come back,

new that you could do. It could be something like

it's me and Akim and we want to hear your
little secret.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
All right.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
When I was younger a few years ago, I was
at a house party. It was more like a friend's housewarming,
and then I was a little drunk. So I was
in the bathroom, you know, how to go number two,
But because I was kind of, you know, like tipsy
and just kind of feeling like just I don't know,
maybe let me let me try a prank, so I

(14:11):
ended up kind of going number two in their water
tank of the toilet instead of in the toilet.

Speaker 9 (14:20):
I didn't think.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I didn't think anything of it.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
But apparently all their plumbings are messed up, all their plumbing.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh my gosh, I must have been a serious number two.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, it's kind of it.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Don't even have to be that serious because you aren't
supposed to put anything at the top.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
But how did you how did you balance above the tank?

Speaker 11 (14:39):
I kind of just stood on the toilet with what
it was closed.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Wow, it seems uncomfortable too.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Are you still friends with this person?

Speaker 12 (14:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (14:49):
And then to this day, I still haven't confessed anything,
so he doesn't know who exactly it was.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
But it was pretty but yeah, i'd be very upset.

Speaker 11 (14:58):
How did somebody do this. Oh yeah, obviously I regret
it because it costs him a lot of money to repair.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Get that you're a little pro okay, your little ruin
the whole plumbing system.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
You need to go ahead and cash app that man,
and you need to change cash app that.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Man, whatever it cause. At least app you need to
take him to.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Dinner and just say I just felt like I needed.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
To take him to dinner, buy him a just because
Gift is a good friend.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
That is terrible.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Imagine one day he just confessed to him and they
stopped being friends.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I stopped being friends. Money.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
That's a lot of money with friends like those. But
no judgment from us. But thank you for calling, Thank
you for calling.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
All right, well that was tell us a secret eight
hundred two nine fifty. Of course, if you couldn't get through,
you can always leave a message and we'll hear your secret.
That way at the end of the show where you
guys have the last word. But when we come back,
we have your yee tea. And here's something we did
not see for twenty twenty four. A little Scrappy versus
Amanda Hills, and I gotta say she won this round.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's way out of yo.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
She's about to blow the lid ab off this spot.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Let's get it Angelus building at yet, come.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
And get the tea.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's way up at Angela Ye, I'm Angela yee. And
comedian I Kem Woods is here. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello,
and let's get into some ut.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Let's let's do it all right, little scrappy.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
You know, he was trying to reveal some information and
he was talking about Amanda Sells doing an interview with
his ex wife Bambie. And here's what he had to
say about his relationship with Amanda Siells.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
And shout out to somebody that I dated a long
time ago that Bam just winning did an interview with
and didn't even know it.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Who Amanda Sells a man always stand up for the women.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
But I wonder did she tell Bam that she hear
her ex?

Speaker 7 (16:50):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Okay, and he was on the Guard Show talking about this. Well,
Amanda Seales responded, oh wow, I'll address this later. But
sometimes you go to watch a full interviewer in order
to know and the truth is that yes, she did
tell her.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Listen to this clip.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Did you know that he subscribed?

Speaker 9 (17:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I did not. So the tooth is Yes, listen to
the whole interview before he threw out those.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Shots, and I will say this, that laugh made it
seem like nug good.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
You never want somebody to say, y'all mess with him
in there start laughing like that, all right?

Speaker 1 (17:31):
And t Paine is saying that he stopped taking credit
for country songs that he's written because of what happens afterwards.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Listen to this.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Country and gospel music. That's where that's where all my
harmony is gone.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Bro.

Speaker 6 (17:44):
I wrote a lot of country songs.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Stop taking credit for it because as cool as it is.

Speaker 11 (17:49):
To see your name and those credits like that, the
racism that comes after it is just like I'll just
take the check.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I don't blame them.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, and that country music.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
First of all, black people originateduntry music, which is really
wild that they act like we're not supposed to be there.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
And just remember what Little nas X went through. Yeah,
you know where Old Town Road.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
And then we.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Originated a rock too.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Like you act like all music is black, but they're like, oh,
we're gonna we're putting you in the Hall of Fames.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
It should be all of us and the country music
Awards like they act like that doesn't qualify for a
country song because of X, Y and Z. And we
always celebrate when there's like one black person that's doing
so well because truthfully, I see a lot more black
country artists now too, and so that are really doing
their thing. Because it feels like even in sports, as

(18:39):
soon as black people start coming in and we just
take over the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
And so tennis, yeah, golf, yea, everything all right.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Martin Lawrence and Shannon Sharp have teamed up for an
Oico Super Bowl commercial and they were talking with Extra's
Melvin Robert on the golf course as they were filming
their spot.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
For the super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
By the way, all the super Bowl spots have sold out,
so just that's a lot of money right there. But
here is what Martin Lawrence had to say about a
new bad boy Bad Boys.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
For It's Coleman.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
I think this as a chance to be the best
one on all dollar and be really surprised.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay, it's going to be the best. Listen, where is
the super Bowl this year in Vegas? Okay, I'm not
even going to tell y'all. I'll talk about it later.
But I had a potential booking out there, but it
was crazy. But Taylor Swift, by the way, they are
trying to figure out how to get her involved with
the Super Bowl halftime show, but she decided no. They
could forget about any hopes of her performing in that

(19:39):
halftime show. You know it's in Vegas February eleventh. She
will be there because her boyfriend Travis Kelsey will be
playing the Kansas City Chiefs, you know, the forty nine ers.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
I know.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I actually watched the playoffs over the weekend and obviously
we know Usher is going to be performing. Post Malone
is a ready book to perform. But the US Sun
has been told Taylor Swift is not interested. She just
wants to watch the game. She just wants to support
Travis and the Chiefs. She's made a lot of money.
They talked about the numbers that she's made for the
Kansas City Chiefs just by her being at the games

(20:14):
and how much they've gotten from that.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
So just her presence alone.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
People hate that it's like Taylor Swift is going to
the Super Bowl because that's really what some people look
at it as. But the ticket prices this year, the
average price is about ninety eight hundred dollars, which is
seventy percent more expensive than last year's game. Yes, all right,
well that is your yut. And when we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
are not necessarily in the headlines. They are flying under

(20:39):
the radar.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
It's way up.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's way up.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
But Angela yee, I'm Angela ye and a Keen Wodde
is here with me today. He told me I want
some biscuits, and I found you, Harlem Biscuit Company. Let's
see how this goes. We order some biscuits for you.
All right, let's do these under the radar stories. They
are not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the radar.
But we love providing this information. What is the most

(21:07):
romantic city in the United States? And this is according
to the event, right, if you had to guess.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Okay, well, romantic city in the United States?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
School, Okay, Valentine's Day is coming up, so I know,
I'm very excited.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm going to guess maybe Saint Louis No, No, not
Saint Louis No, no, no, Louisiana Louisian New Orleans, New Orleans.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
No, that is not in the top five, but I'll
tell you. Number five on the list is Denver. You're
headed there.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Oh, you'll be in Denver this weekend next weekend. Weekend.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Four is Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I can see that.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Number three is Austin, Number two Chicago, and number one
on the list Baltimore. Really yes, indeed, Baltimore is number
one on the list of the most romantic cities in America.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I would not have guessed Baltimore.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
But they do have like the heart and everything. Oh,
you know what they do, and that's really nice. So
you know, there's in cities.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
There's gems everywhere, I'm sure when you're from someplace, but Baltimore.
So that's a good place. If you're going to try
to go somewhere for Valentine's Day, maybe you try to
make that trip. All right, now, let's talk about because
it is a wealth Wednesday, I want to discuss loud budgeting.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Speaker 9 (22:23):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Loud budgeting is basically kind of like the opposite of
quiet luxury.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
The idea is that you're going to be.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Transparent and explicit with people in your life about what
you are and aren't willing to spend money on.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
All right, do we have an example.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Here's an example on TikTok from about what is loud
budgeting out.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
Quiet luxury in loud budgeting, Sorry, can't go out to dinner.
I've got seven dollars a day to live on.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Seven dollars a day.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Where you live in Nebraska, I can't said I can't
go out to dinner. I've got seven dollars a day.
You are loud budgeting.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
So lets people be financially transparent without feeling embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's basically the idea.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
But according to TikToker, Lucas battle be honest and realistic
about money, and that is what should be considered stylish
and cool.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Oh I've been honest. I've been like, oh girl, I'm broke.
I've been I've been doing that.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Brother, I keep saying right now, I'm cash poor. Yeah,
I'm cash poor. I have I'm living check to check
at the moment. All right, well, we got the way
up mixed coming for you guys. At the top of
the hour plus. Speaking of wealth, Wednesday, Arlen Hamilton is
going to be joining us. She is the founder of
Backstage Capital, and she's going to help you get to
your first million.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
We'll talk about it.

Speaker 4 (23:36):

eut in. This kind of goes along with our food.

and she said it is a dream come true. But
she's also going to be wearing other brands too, like
Dote and Gabana.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
And so she said. The first shot set the tone
for the day.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
She said, not only did she want to wear her
own swimwear line because she loves it and it is
part of what she's created. But part of what she
does with her brand is promoting inclusivity, and she wants
to show that off in partnership with Sports Illustrated Swim.
So she said, I hope my message and what I
stand for about inclusion and body positivity and just being
your own woman and going after your dreams and manifestation

(24:50):
and prayer is evident and all of that is real,
and I hope they feel that and see that when
they see my images.

said exactly. We can get whatever we went to out

Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
With Tabitha Brown when I was with her yesterday, she
has this book out. I did a new thing.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
And sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
And it could be small things that you guys decide
to do, like instead of eating, you know, at home,
maybe you pick a restaurant and you could set a
date like once a week, we're gonna go pick a restaurant.
And then even like the two of you are in
the house isolated, why not go on group outings like
I Keema saying, meet up with other people. But even
if you have friends or whatever, that y'all could be like, hey,
what y'all doing, Let's go have a drink. Or it

(32:33):
could be just something really small that doesn't take a
lot of time commitment.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
And comedy clubs.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, you know, I came as a comedian, and I'm
sure there's a comedy club in the area that you
could go to.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, let's go to a comedy show. That's always fun.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
And one more thing I want to say.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
You could make it fun like a game where maybe
every other week, you know, you guys got to surprise
each other. So maybe two weeks out the month, you're
surprising him with something. Two weeks out the month he's
surprising you. It could be big, it could be small,
but y'all got to make a plan to do something.
So once a week you're doing something and the other
person's in charge.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
No, that's a good idea.

Speaker 12 (33:06):
Okay, yeah, I like that.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I'm just wanting to do that.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Okay, just get up from in front of those video games.

two fifty one to fifty in case you couldn't get through.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
And it is a Wealth Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
So when we come back, we have the founder of
Backstage Capital and also the author of Your First.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Million, Arlen Hamilton, is joining us. It's way out.

Speaker 14 (33:38):
I had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
This is wealth Wednesday, on way up with angela Ye.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Its way up with angela Ye, on our Wealth of Wednesday,
my favorite day, and I got my girl, Stacy Tisdale,
my partner with me.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
And Happy Wealth Wednesday everybody. And this is a special
one because we are joined by the one and the only,
Arlen Hamilton.

Speaker 13 (34:02):
Hey, thank you.

Speaker 7 (34:04):
I would even start by describing Arland. She's totally broken
her way into Silicon Valley and is a star in
the technology world, which for a black woman, Let's not
even talk about how hard that is. She's the founder
of Backstage Capital. Anne has raised thirty million dollars to
help over two hundred people start businesses. I can't wait

(34:26):
to talk about.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
That is an author.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
Let's not forget that author. She has a new book out,
Your First million. But folks, this lady sitting right here
next to me was homeless. She was on food stamps
into her thirties, and now she has changed the world.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Before you tell you, sir, I want to say that
I had been filing with you for years, so I'm
excited to have you up here as well.

Speaker 13 (34:45):
This is a big honor to be here, so I
appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
How did it happen?

Speaker 13 (34:49):
Well, at thirty four, I'm forty three, now thirty four,
I found myself living at the airport in San Francisco,
and I had been working on this fund, this venture
capital fund for three years and just not you know,
knocked on doors, wasn't getting any anywhere. But I was
really keeping up with the founders and their stories and
what they were building. And I think that was a

(35:10):
big key to this, because when opportunity did come, I
was ready. Prior to that, I wanted to start a
company once I understood what startups were, because I've always
been starting companies my whole life, but not knowing enough
about it to make it work. So I always started
and then they would fail. Started it and they would fail,
and then finally I was like, I'm gonna start a
tech company because I kind of understand it. But then

(35:31):
I've read in twenty thirteen or so a statistic that
changed everything for me, which was that less than ten
percent of venture funding goes to anyone who's not a
white man in a US.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
And then not just that, but let's talk about black women.

Speaker 13 (35:45):
How Yeah, you can't even see us on the blip.
So I thought, what if instead of trying to raise
for one company, I could raise for several companies a
fund and be a check writer, so that when I
was screaming and yelling about this, it wouldn't just be
some angry black woman that they were going to try
to peg me as I was going to be an
angry black woman who also who could write a check.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
And that's amazing to not just be thinking about yourself, right,
but also as you're trying to raise money for yourself,
how do I raise money to other people as well?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Because you identified something that was a necessity.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Right now, I'm with Stacy Tisdale from Wealth Wednesdays and
we're talking to Ireland Hamilton, the founder of the Ventor Fund,
Backstage Capital and also author of Your First Million, and
Mark Cuban was somebody who invested with you, So can
you tell how that even happened?

Speaker 13 (36:34):
Yeah, Mark, You've been invested a total of six million
dollars into my fund and I've raised about thirty So
first of go around it was one million, then five
that's right, twenty nineteen was one million. And what happened
there was we met at south By Southwest in Austin.
We spoke on the same stage and it went really well.
So I use it as, you know, a chance to
just ask him, Hey, do you want to be on

(36:54):
my fund? He said, nah, I don't really like being
in other people's funds. Then a few weeks later, a
few days later, an article came out about me. This
was twenty nineteen. Article came out about me that said
my fund had failed because it hadn't raised it all yet.
You gotta understand, I'm around people raising funds all day long.
I know the process behind the scenes. Most people's funds

(37:14):
take a year, two or three years to raise. So
it was like they were picking on me a little bit.
And that article made some of my investors take their
money out.

Speaker 7 (37:24):
Oh is this when you lost five million?

Speaker 13 (37:27):
That was a different time.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
I left that moment. There's a crazy.

Speaker 13 (37:31):
So he saw that and he reached out to me.
He said, what we need to do is make you
independently wealthy so that you have to deal with this.
And she said, I'm going to give you a million
dollars invested in any way you want to. She just
kind of like pick you up. And then when George
Floyd was murdered and we were going through that reckoning,
out of the blue and I got an email from
him and they just said, I want to do more.

(37:53):
I want to put five million more in.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
Let's go.

Speaker 13 (37:55):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I was like, let's go. I like, let's go.

Speaker 13 (37:58):
Because he understood the urgent of the moment. We need
to catalyze the people who are already doing the work.
But it was his idea to give me more of
the upside. He said, I'm gonna give you x amount
of profit share, which is way more than industry standard.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Arlen Hamilton is here.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Of course, my partner in Wealth Wednesday, Stacy Tisdale is here,
and we have more when we come back.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
It's a Wealth Wednesday.

Speaker 14 (38:19):
I've kind of dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
Getting you straight financially, mentally, and physically. This is wealth
Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
What's up his Way Up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and we are talking to Arlen Hamilton. She's the
author of Your First Million and the founder of Backstag's Capital,
which is a venture fund, and of course because it's
a wealth Wednesday, I have my partner Stacy Tisdale here. Now, Stacy,
you have a question.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Let's talk about Backstage for a minute. You've raised over
thirty million dollars. You invest, like all venture capitalists, in
what you consider to be high potential founders. What makes
someone someone you want to invest in?

Speaker 13 (38:57):
If you go to Backstagecapital dot com, you can apply
for investment if you feel like you're like, take a
look at it and say am I ready for this?
Or do I want to wait or whatever. But we
look at every single application. But if we say no
to you, or if we don't get back to you,
it's nothing to do with your company. But there's also
so much you have control over. Like, for instance, somebody

(39:18):
could come to us or to me and say I
want to raise one hundred thousand dollars because X y Z,
and I'll say, okay, cool, what's your product and then
I'll say, well, I haven't put the product out because
haven't raised. There are so many steps you could take
before you even get to an investor. You can do
things like survey an audience. Do you have an audience?
Have you built some sort of a community, a base.

(39:39):
It's like, what makes you think people like this? And
so I like, I love when people come to me
and say, yeah, I haven't raised anything, or we have it.
We're pre product and pre revenue, but we have surveyed
one thousand people over the past twelve months, and we
have tweaked this and that, so we know how to
spend that money once we get it. Or we've done
some paid advertising so we know if you put it,

(40:00):
we get three out. So all we need to do
is add fuel for the fire. There's a lot of
things you can do before you even come to me
that tell me that you're serious about this. Another thing
to note is I look at what have you done
so far with the resources you have.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
It's a wealth Wednesday Ireland Hamilton is here.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
She's the founder of Backstage Capital and author of Your
First Million, and Ireland, I want to ask you for
our entrepreneurs who are just getting started. What is the
best piece of advice that you could give them, something
that you wish you would have known.

Speaker 13 (40:30):
I really believe that the very first thing you should
think about is hiring executive assistant type who can free
up the CEO's time from the menial tasks and the
minutia so that that CEO can do what they do best,
which should be sales, maybe fundraising if you go that route,
and customer service. And I've studied this with a lot

(40:53):
of companies. They'll spend twenty plus hours a week invoicing
or posting or doing things that very important things. And
I said, meno, but I'm probably the wrong phrasing. They're
very important, but they're tediars and they can be done
by someone who loves doing that, so right, But you
can hire them for five hours a week and you
can start taking that off your plate so that you

(41:14):
then can put the same ten five twenty hours. Imagine
if like the thing that brings you the most opportunity,
if you're able to do that twenty times the amount
of times.

Speaker 7 (41:25):
You can do it today, and people are going to
actually be able to hear, see and work with you
in person.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Oh yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 6 (41:35):
It.

Speaker 13 (41:36):
So I have your first million Live happening in April
ninth through the twelfth and Los Angeles at LA Live.
Go to your first million dot Live to see the tickets.
I'll give you a really great discount if you use
the word live as your discount code.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
That's easy because you heard this here we're.

Speaker 13 (41:54):
Having So we're having an evening with Ray. We have
Rich Paul who's in the building, Kat Sports, Yes, and
Ron's agent, and much much more. We have Miss Sheila Johnson,
the first black woman billionaire in the country. And then
we have TLC, the legendary. TLC will be closing out
the event with a full concert. And let me tell you,

(42:15):

Arlen's Academy in real life. You'll be able to learn
from our experts and you'll be able to experience things.
Bring your family, bring everybody.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
With you, and you talk about networking. This is a
great accortunity.

Speaker 13 (42:30):
I know that when I go to a conference or
to an event, I don't want to sit there and
just listen to people. I want to meet the people
who could be my future partners and want access to
people in the room who have made their first million.
You're going to be among many of my investors, like
so many people who have invested in backstage and just
in my life are going to be at the event.
And I say, if you can meet two or three

(42:51):
really strong people who you keep a relationship with, it's
already worth it.
