Juice Bar that's in Troy, Michigan.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
She actually opened this juice bar because her son was
having a lot of stomach issues and the only way
that she could help solve his condition was by giving
him a combination of fresh beet, celery and grape juice
for a month. It actually helped his pain go away
and he was returned to being his happy, busy self.
Since then, she has opened Fresh and Pressed Juice because

(01:55):
she was making juices at home. People were ordering it
and she was like, all right, it's time to bring
this to Theses. And she's also married to ice Wear
Vessel and he was nervous when she opened this business,
he told us, and she knows this too. Behind the scenes,
he knew she wanted to do this. He had never
opened something like this before. He didn't know people would
want to come and juice. And when I tell you,

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Michael B.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Jordan says that he is lonely but isn't ready to
date again. Here's what he had to say on an
episode of On Purpose with Jay Sheddy.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
How just being the sexious not in life find love.
That's very lonely.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
I go back and forth between wanting partnership and then
not knowing what's the best partner for me, Like bringing
them into my world what I got going on isn't easy.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
He did reveal that he also does want a family eventually.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
He said, I'm not looking, but it would take a
very special person to understand and grow with me. And
Zoe Kravitz honored her father, Lenny Kravitz, at his Walk
of Fame ceremony, and by the way, what a beautiful family.
Zoe Kravitz, Lenny Kravitz, Lisa Bonet. She said that her
father was relatively young when she was born. In many ways,
he was only twenty four years old, and that they've
been through a lot, but his longest relationship is with

(04:20):
his sea through shirts.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Here's what she said.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
I've had the pleasure of knowing you for a long time,
and I must say being your daughter has been one
of the great adventures of my life. I've seen the
way you show up and take care of the people
you love. I've seen your incredible dedication to your art.
But mostly I've seen through your shirts. Your relationship with
the netted shirt is probably your longest one.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Denzel Washington also honored Lenny Kravitz. He called the musician
more than a friend, He's more than a brother. And
you know what talking about Denzel Washington. You know they
just put out the list of the highest paid actor
from last year, and Denzel was on the list, in
the top ten.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Now number one on the list. Dan, do you know
who that could have been?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
If you had to guess, I would guess Leo DiCaprio.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Wrong. It was actually Adam Sandler.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Oh okay, he made seventy three million dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Still doing it.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's because he made four film projects and did a
tour last year.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
His old movies are hands down some of my favorites,
Billy Madison and Like Big Daddy and those.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, I've never been that big
on Adam Sandler movies. I grew up on those for
whatever reason. But number two on the list was Margot
Robbie from Barbie, Tom Cruise, Ryan Gosling, Matt Damon, Jennifer Aniston,
Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Stathum, Ben Affleck, and then Denzel Washington.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
You know, it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Usually Dwayne Johnson's on the top ten, and so is
Tyler Perry. But these are the highest paid actors. So
Tyler Perry I don't think was in any movies last year.
All right, well that is your yet, And when we
come back, we have about last night. That's where we
discussed what we did last night. I actually went to
go talk to some students at engine Room Audio. It
was a great conversation. I'll tell you about it. It's
way up last night.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
So about last.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Night last night?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Last nights, I went down what's up his way up
with Angela Yee.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I'm Angela ye, And it's time for about last night.
Last night.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I was at engine Room Audio and that's the studio
that my good friend Scotti Lee owns. That's also the
studio where I do my lip Service podcast, and last
night I went in to go talk to the students.
He actually helps teach them about engineering, recording, producing, all
of that, and the conversation was interesting. But one thing
that I noticed that was a thread through I was

(06:33):
about networking.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
And when I first met Scotti, who.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Owns the studio, I was in high school and he
was at Howard University, and you know, he hooked me
up to do an internship with Wu Tang and then
after that he actually linked me with Nol Rogers, who
is one of the founding members of Chic but also
a producer.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Who did you know I'm coming out? He did, We
are family.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
But the students had some really great questions and insight
they were asking me about marketing. I got to reflect
a lot on how my career got started. You know,
for anybody who doesn't know, when I first started in radio,
I was as serious and that was through Paul Rosenberg
and Tracy mcneaw who worked with Eminem manage Eminem.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
So they're the ones that really linked me from the beginning.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
And when I first met them, it was when I
was working at Wu Tang and I had Eminem opening
up for Wu Tang at park Hill Day, which was
an event that we used to do in Staten Island.
It was like a nonprofit event. They had rides and
games and things set up for the kids, and so
it was just a relationship that I maintained, and I
was thinking about the importance of maintaining relationships, making sure

(07:37):
that what you when you go out places you're showing
support and then following up afterward.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I think it's really important that when you go out
you make sure that you stay in contact. And it's
so much easier now with social media. When I first
got started, there was no social media. So doing small
things like leaving thoughtful messages on people's posts or reposting them.
People really appreciate things like that, and so that was
just some things that I was thinking about.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Then I went home and took some benajo and passed out.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Okay, So that was my whole entire night, And then
today after the show, I'm heading to Detroit. Now when
we come back, we have tell us a secret. Eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Is a number. If you want to tell us a secret,
We're not gonna judge you.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Well, you get to remain anonymous, so we don't even
know who you are again. That's eight hundred two nine
two fifty one fifty And y'all are some wild people.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
I tell you this all the time.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
When I hear tell us a secret, I'd be like, ooh,
it's so hard not to judge. All right, eight hundred
two ninety two fifty one fifty tell us a secret
when we come back.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
This is a judgment.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
Freeze all.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Tell us a secret. What's up? Its way up with angela?

Speaker 9 (08:40):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm angela yee on a hump day, so I know
these are gonna be good.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
It's that time. Tell us a secret.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty Hey, anonymous, Kola,
how are you?

Speaker 4 (08:49):
What's your secret?

Speaker 10 (08:50):
Me and my wife were talking about having the freeze soon,
but she doesn't tell us too many people. So over
a period of time she finally got somebody for me.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Huh, okay, what I don't believe that, I swear to God.
So your wife said, let's have a threesome with my sister.

Speaker 10 (09:10):
Yeah, somebody she could trust.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
And you agreed to that.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Of course, I'm oh, my gosh, And so tell me
how it went like, what was the plan.

Speaker 11 (09:21):
Well, we talked about it. It's been on and off
for three years, and and finally, you know, we were
going through some hard times and I guess to to
spike up our life, you know, I said, it's like
a little bit people will mention me some names.

Speaker 10 (09:35):
We threw some names out there, and then she was
a little bit. Now, I don't think none of those
people would have worked for me. So I was like, okay,
well who you figure? And I said, well, what you know,
I'm just playing around. Just threw her sister's name. She said,
you know what, I don't know. She thought about it.
She said, I'm gonna asked her, and our sister was.

Speaker 11 (09:52):
Off for it.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh my gosh, the fact that you threw her sister's
name out there is wild too, because it's not even funny.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
How is it when you I see the sister.

Speaker 10 (10:02):
Like nothing, you're an adults, like we're still fan And
it was more than one time. I see that a
few times.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
All right, Well, thank you for sharing, I guess, and
thank her for sharing.

Speaker 10 (10:15):
Well, yes I'm gonna hear this one little but that's
all good.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
All right, Thank you?

Speaker 11 (10:20):
Of course.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Hanging out him its color.

Speaker 12 (10:22):
How are you all right? I'm great.

Speaker 11 (10:24):
How are you?

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm good? Thank you. You want to tell us a secret?

Speaker 12 (10:28):
Yes, my secret is said. I've been married for three
years and I'm actually a Lisbon. I'd rather be with
a woman, and my husband have no idea that I'm
really obsessed with women. I only married him for us money,
but I want to walk to twenty twenty four happy
and living my best life and being free and dealing
with whoever I feel makes me happy.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Okay, and I'm sure you want him to be happy too,
because he probably could tell you're not that into him.

Speaker 12 (10:54):
Yeah, he's believing that it's my cast traumer. You know,
I can't really connect with him, but I don't want him.
I want a woman. I can't get enough of a
woman's body, a woman's touch, and I'm sad to have
him the secret.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Are you going to tell him that? Are you just
gonna break up with that?

Speaker 12 (11:11):
Believe? So I'm going to tell him because it's my
first time falling in and it went straight through. So
I think it's meant for me to tell This is
God's way of telling me to confess my thing.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Okay, Yeah, definitely let him know I mean he might
be very supportive. It might be hard for him at first,
but he might be like, you know what, I can't
accept that, like, because you can't help how you feel.

Speaker 11 (11:34):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
The only part, the only part he may you may
want to leave out, is that you married him for money.

Speaker 12 (11:39):
Oh yeah, absolutely?

Speaker 4 (11:41):
All right, thank you so much for calling good luck.

Suki Hanna is hilarious by the way, But yes, I'm
sure this song is going to generate a lot of conversations.
And that is your ut when we come back. We
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines. They are flying under the radar.
And you know, it's three one three day. So I'll
tell you what that's all about. In case you don't
know because you're not from Detroit. It's way up the news.

Speaker 11 (14:49):
News.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
What's up this way up with Angela Ye. I'm Angela Yee,
and it is time for your under the radar, the
stories that are not necessarily in the headlines, but you
need to know about him anyway.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
What up though?

Today is three to one three Day in Detroit now
in case you don't know what that is, that is
celebrating the area called three one three and there's gonna
be all kinds of special discounts. There'll be food that
people are selling for three dollars and thirteen cents. If
you go to McDonald's you can get Werner's Today. You

Connor Harbortown and Redford. All right, now, Donald Trump is
saying that if he is elected, one of the first
acts that he will do is free the January sixth
quote hostages who are wrongfully imprisoned hostages. Aren't those the
people that violently attack the capital on January sixth. I

(16:09):
am so confused on the fact that people really support
this man, Dan, What did you think when you saw
Donald Trump say he would free those January six hostages
his first acts.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
That's crazy, Like, can you even do that?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I mean, probably he did whatever he wanted when he
was in there.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Well, nearly five hundred people have been sentenced to incarceration
over that riot on January sixth, twenty twenty one, and
prosecutors have secured more than nine hundred and fifty convictions.
So last year he did say he would parton a
large portion of those defendants and said he would do
that early on. And he keeps on saying that that
is so wild to me, like they deserve to be

(16:48):
in jail. You can't just do that. That is so wild.
If that would have been the other way around, dead
it would Yeah, that's crazy, But anyway, that is your
under the radar and when we come back.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
We got the way it mixed.

Speaker 3 (16:58):

he did it. He's formally incarcerated and look at what

Yes Jewels. She's been working with him. She's been posting
a lot. She was involved in the role out of Vultures,

the past few days have been unauthorized. They also posted
the email that they sent her to let her know
she was fired. It says Dare Juliana obviously you are
fired yours faithfully. Wow, that's vicious, ruthless. Yeah, that's ruthless.
Well he did hire John Monopoly back, that is his
former manager. They always go back and forth. I feel
like and Kanye also the other day this Drake. He

(20:07):
also said f Drake for taking Dirk right at the
beginning of the Vultures rollout. I'll come back to y'all
if I think of more f us. This is after
he said f you to a whole bunch of people,
and then Drake responded with this fifty cent clip.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
I'm like what he said.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
All right, Well, I guess he has a sense of
humor about it at least. And that is your ut.
When we come back, we have ask ye eight hundred
two nine two fifty one fifty is a number any
question that you have.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
We're here to help you out. It's way up this
relationship for career advice.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Angela's dropping facts.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You should This is as d what's up his way
up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and we are
live at work right now and it's time for ask ye.
Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is the number? Hello, Aleto,
what's your question.

Speaker 13 (20:48):
So my question is right. So I'm going on eight
years with my girlfriend. I have a daughter of my
own from a previous relationship, as sheda, I'm an amazing
father to my daughter, try to be a good father
to her daughter, but she seems like I should be
doing more for her daughter. At this point, I just
try to explain to her, like I'm just trying to
get my together, so I hardly do for my own daughter,

(21:11):
So I'm not going to do for her daughter what
I can't do for my own. So I just want
to know, am I wrong? Well?

Speaker 4 (21:15):
What kind of things does she want you to do?

Speaker 13 (21:18):
So example, she says like pick her up, take her
out to eat a little more, some one on one time,
and everything like that. And I understand that completely, but
it's the way she bought it about me. Like her
daughter's father has other kids, correct, So she's seen her
daughter's father with his other kids, and I know she
felt some type of way and just try to tell

(21:38):
me that I need to do the more because that
made her feel some type of way.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Okay, Like it's a competition.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, okay, And you're right sometimes it is the approach
because you just said you think that's a reasonable request.
You just don't like the reason why and how she
requested it. Yes, correct, And I do think it's really important.
You know, this is a child, and you don't everyone
the kids to feel like, well, this is your not
real dad, Like no matter what, she didn't ask to
be there, you should be treating her child because you

(22:07):
guys have made a commitment to each other to be together.
Just like she should treat your daughter like it's her own,
you should treat her daughter like that's your own.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Too, right, understood, understood, right.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
And so I think the main thing is not really
what she asked you to do, is how, And that's
more of the conversation that you guys need to have.
You can do those things, and I think that she's right.
Her daughter will appreciate it. And she wants you guys
to have a strong bond because she sees you in
her life, you know, forever, and because she sees you
as her partner and somebody who's going to be in

(22:36):
her daughter's life forever. She wants to make sure that
you guys establish your own relationship as well.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
I think that's a positive thing.

Speaker 13 (22:43):
Understood understood.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Do those things, don't not do it because you're mad
about how she asked you and the way she phrased it. Okay,
And remember it's not always about spending money. It's also
about spending time and doing fun things. Even if you
feel like, well, I ain't got it like that. Right now,
y'all can have movie nights in the house house. You know,
you can plan little fun things to do with her
that I think will mean a lot.

Speaker 13 (23:05):
All right, makes sense?

Speaker 11 (23:06):
Makes sense.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Are the daughter's friends with each other, Yes, they call.

Speaker 13 (23:10):
Each other's sisters and everything. And the only thing that
really bothered me about it was because she made this
request about a day before my daughter's birthday. Okay, Yeah,
Like I was in the middle of trying to focus
on my daughter's birthday and then you come with him
you need to do more for my daughter, and I'm like, hey, hey,
you just throw on my head in the circle right now.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, you know what.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
And everybody's going to be protective of their child just
as you are too, and whatever is best for their
children as well. But the fact that your daughters love
each other and call each other's sisters, those are both
of your kids. Yeah, I think that should override everything.
What's best for the kids. You're right, you know, and
then focus on how we communicate. I would have liked

(23:51):
for you to ask it to me this way, but
you're right. I can step it up and do more.
And even if you're planning days with all all the
kids together, but just some alone time with you, that's great.

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Okay, all right, thank you.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
No problem, take care Lido.

Speaker 13 (24:04):
All right, appreciate it, Love you all right, Love you too.

Speaker 3 (24:07):

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is Wealth

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yee, what's up?

Speaker 3 (24:43):
It's way up with Angela Ye on a Wealth Wednesday.
I'm with my partner Stacy Tisdale.

Speaker 15 (24:47):
Happy Wealth Wednesday, everybody, We are taking you way up
with Sam forty Taylor.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yes, how's it going? How's it going?

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Box Truck Bros. You can follow that on Instagram. You
have like seven hundred and fifteen thousand followers.

Speaker 16 (25:00):
Yes, it's crazy, it's been the journey. It's been over
the course of three years organically too.

Speaker 15 (25:06):
You know I got out those followers in three years.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah, and before you even got into your first truck,
you actually drove door dash right for how many years?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
I did that for four years?

Speaker 4 (25:15):
And then how much money did you have to save
up to be able to start your own business?

Speaker 2 (25:19):
So I wasn't saving to a goal.

Speaker 16 (25:21):
I didn't have like a number of mind, but I
had about like twenty twenty five thousand saved before I
got into truck and doing DoorDash.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
How did you decide trucking?

Speaker 16 (25:29):
I was doing research on what businesses start me and
my brother actually, and we do like a little way
above different businesses we could start with about twenty twenty
five thousand. We thought about carpe cleaning, thought about landscaping,
thought about like junk moving stuff like that, but we
didn't want to climb based business. So started looking on
YouTube and came across bosh up business and we've seen

(25:49):
that you can get started in the trucking the tree
with no CDL.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
So kind of doing DoorDash.

Speaker 15 (25:53):
I could go drive a truck later today.

Speaker 16 (25:56):
I mean you could, you could, you might get off
the road. Yeah, so you know, kind of doing door
dash of driving all day throughout the city. It was
almost like doing the same thing but on the bigger scale.
So it's kind of like a no brainer.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
And so when you said, what can you say for
twenty to twenty five thousand dollars, what are the costs involved?

Speaker 4 (26:13):
It's starting this business.

Speaker 16 (26:15):
So first you do your paperwork. Depending on where you live,
of course, you have your LLC. In Virginia, LLC is
one hundred dollars. After that you gotta get your MC
and DOT number, which is your authority that gives you
legal authorization and carry freight across the country, so that
is three hundred dollars standard for everyone. After that you
need the insurance for your truck. So yeah, I bought
my truck. I had to put down twelve thousand dollars,

(26:36):
which is about thirty percent of the truck. You know,
and some people they go and buy cars or they
go about other things. And when I seen now I
can go buy a truck for the same amount, that's
kind of I'm gonna do that.

Speaker 15 (26:45):
They're not that expensive. They're not as expensive as car.

Speaker 16 (26:48):
They're not Not only can you you know finance, you
can also.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Rent a truck.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's well Wednesday, I'm a Stacey Tisdale and we're talking
to Sam Taylor, the founder of Box Truck Bros.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Now, Stacy, you have a question for Sam.

Speaker 15 (26:59):
You are quite a story. You really really really turned
your life around. I mean, it's just so nice to
talk to you, and you're so nice and.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Obviously so successful.

Speaker 15 (27:10):
But you were incarcerated, you didn't finish school. Yes, how
did you turn that around?

Speaker 16 (27:16):
I would say it really started with with my childhood
growing up. My mom was a single mom, a boy
a drug addiction, so we had a very unstable childhood.
Out of my twelve years of school and I've been
to twelve different schools, moving.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
House to house, stuff like that.

Speaker 16 (27:29):
So living in you know, that kind of environment, it's
almost like you bottle adversity a lot, just having to
see the positive in a.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Lot of negative situations.

Speaker 16 (27:40):
It's kind of what its still just like, you know,
certain work habits, how to be disciplined, and that's really
kind of where it started at. You know, fast forward
to eighteen. I caught a felony, got a robbery charge,
so I didn't graduate high school?

Speaker 4 (27:54):
When did How long were you in jail?

Speaker 2 (27:57):
A yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:58):
And so when you came home and you have to
put that you have a felony on how difficult was
that and what types of things were people telling you
when you were trying to work.

Speaker 16 (28:05):
Or like so, you know, you hear people about like
he's gonna be hard to get a job with a felony.
I'm thinking of like a higher scale, maybe business I
something like that.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I didn't know. I'm getting denied by target best by
dage in nineteen.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Could be president of the United States.

Speaker 16 (28:20):
Run field, So I kind of understood early that finding
a job was going to be hard. Of course, I
was only nineteen years old, so I have no kind
of degree, no kind of working experience to kind of
back that up. So that was kind of tough for me.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's a dope story it is.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, Sam Taylor is here with us with me and
Stacy Tisdale for our Wealth Wednesday. We have more with
him about Box Truck Bros. When we come back. It's
way up kind of dream of wealth and I don't
mind sharing my wealth dog.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is Wealth
Wednesday on way up with angela ye.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Its way up with angela ye, angela ye. It's a
Wealth Wednesday. So Stacy Tisdale is here and we are
talking to Sam Taylor is the founder of Box Truck Brows.
And so you've also expanded and so you had your truck, yes,
tell us what happened next, like how you've grown the business.

Speaker 16 (29:08):
So I had one truck, and one thing about the
trucking industry is it's all revolved run the dispatch, right,
Like the dispatch kind of is in control of booking
the loads, route playing and making sure the truck is
making money. So that's where I kind of stepped off
the truck. I had a driver, got off the truck,
and I learned the disby side. And after running one truck,
then I kind of scaled up and got another truck.

(29:29):
But at this time, I went to rental route. So
being new in business, I didn't understand how to scale.
I just thought like, Okay, more trucks, it was more money,
it was more profits, you know. But I'm doing kind
of all the work because me and my brother, even
though we're box truk Brows, we kind of branched off
and we both have our separate business.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
So here's his own business. I have my own business,
but we're in conjunction.

Speaker 16 (29:50):
So I got more trucks and more drivers, more problems,
more bills, and I'm like maintenance and I'm making all
this I'm making the money, but I'm saying like I'm
doing all this work, I'm making money, but it's like
I'm not even seeing it, you know. So that's why
I'm kind of like, all right, well, I have way.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Too much my plate.

Speaker 16 (30:10):
I got to get rid of some trucks and then
I kind of scale back down to a level that
I was comfortable plating it.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
It's well Wednesday, I'm a Stacey Tuesday and we're talking
to Sam Taylor, the founder of Box Chuck Bros. Okay,
so to date, what has been your best week and
what was your worst.

Speaker 16 (30:24):
Week's numbers my best week so on average because I
specialized in dispatch, So I say that's why a lot
of people and I honestly I got the dispatch from
doing DoorDash. If anyone who does DoorDash uber, everyone has
a strategy that they run. If you're doing Uber, you're
probably at the airport at five in the morning. If
you're doing door dash, you're probably at the restaurants during

(30:46):
lunch time, during dinner time.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
You know you're not running too far.

Speaker 16 (30:49):
So I specialized in dispatch, and my best week I
probably did about eight thousand, but that's like my best week.
My worst week have probably been like two thousand.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Okay, that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
But it's so many factors that go into while you
make that amount of money.

Speaker 16 (31:04):
You have a breakdown. Do you have days off? Are
you taking off? So if the truck is running consistent,
my driver's out there running. We average about between a
thousand to twelve hundred dollars a day, so about five
to six thousand dollars a week will.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Not mad at that decent. And you also coach other people, Yes.

Speaker 16 (31:21):
Yes, so we do offer coaching. I have courses that
teach people how to of course get started with cheaper, down,
down payments strategies that we run to make the kind
of money that we that we make, and also offering
dispatch classes and mentorship and things like that. So for
people who need the step by step, you know, hold
my hand through this process, we do offer that.

Speaker 15 (31:43):
And if you go to on Instagram to add Box
truck Bros. And your profile, I see there's your link
tree so people can see how I mean, he has
lots of services that it provides people.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, you're very transparent on your page about every aspect
of the business, good or bad.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Seven hundred thousand followers.

Speaker 16 (31:59):
Yeah, yeah, because you know, get into especially like social
media and whenever you're offering. Because the whole Ghosts On
Trucking was not just sell it to no one. You know,
like a lot of people come from the same environment
and background as I do, and I want it to
be fully transparent of what you're getting yourself into. You know,
what goes on in the day to day, from sleeping
in the truck, picking up loads, talking to brokers, negotiating rates,

(32:21):
