Right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So, as you mentioned as far as the workshop, you
have a home buying workshop this year, we have three
panels on artificial intelligence courtesy of another speaker that's going

to have you know, AI, as far as how to
actually get up and running with AI one O one,
(03:22):
how to implement AI in your business, how to actually
you know, navigate careers in AI. So that's something that
we're definitely samly excited for a couple of other speakers

of those gentlemen are heavy in AI and they're going
to be speaking about you know, their work with Google
and different agencies that they're working with to try to
(03:44):
advance AI for our community. So you know, we're going
to have lending uh there as far as for small
businesses and for real estate development. So we have so
so much resources that will be there. And I really think,
you know, this year is gonna be more life changing
than ever.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Wow, I'm impressed by the lineup year after year after year.
I think it's a testament you are. For everybody that's listening.
You got to get a ticket to this. This is
a game change. This is the thing you need to do.
When I see people in this audience and I'm talking,
I'm talking to tens of thousands of people who are
(04:23):
investing in themselves. The name of it is called invest Fest,
but it's really an investment in yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You have got to start taking a portion of your
income to invest in yourself for the better betterment of yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
In terms of financial literacy. Now money ain't.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Everything, but it's a big part of this equation, and
you've got to gain the knowledge become financially literate as
you grow older and older and older because you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Need this information. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Hey, it was one of the things you all talked
about that I want to touch on right quick. You
said that Nipsey Hustle's family was going to be there.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You've got this. Let's talk about that Nipsey Hustle business grant.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
The grand is important, you know, like we said this
is the biggest year. We said that last year and
it came to fruition. But this year we wanted to
make it special. We wanted to make this the year impact.
And we've talked about the deficiencies in terms of business
lending and venture capital investing in small businesses, and so
we have opportunity. We have four hundred businesses in our
venture marketplace, we have a bunch of entrepreneurs in our community,
(05:30):
and what would be the biggest impact and that we
thought enthusing capital into the business. So we have a
pitch competition stopped by Microsoft and ourselves in America, our team,
where we're going to be able to give one hundred
thousands of dollars one hundred thousand dollars to a business
based on how to performed this pitch competition. I think
it's almost like an incubator times American Idol where people
(05:52):
are gonna sugmitic business ideas and they're plans. They're going
to come into invest Sets and have an opportunity to
present us from the judges, and then we're going to
window that number down from about one hundred to one
hundred and fifty contestants down to four who get to
be on the big stage and I ultimately have an
opportunity to within one hundred thousand dollars that can go
right into their business to spark their economy.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Wow, that's see the sea. See that type of thing
is huge, man, folks.
