Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to the show. I'm Rashan McDonald, the host of

information that this show provides off everyone. It's time to

(00:49):
My guess is a global brand architects, strategists and marketer
with offices in New York City, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia.
Please welcome to Money Making Conversations Master Class. All Maryland Crawford,
Our Lady, Maryland Crawford, Please welco with the show. How
you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, first of all, what city are yet?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I had to look I'm in New York.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I want to get that cleared up right, docked up right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Now, that's very sad that I had to look.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So we have offices in New York City, Dubai, and
Saudi Arabia. How yes, explain that to me.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's my journey of professionalism.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I never met a stranger, and so I have offices
in those places because I have absolutely incredible partnerships and
partners who we created these opportunities together that allow us
to reach really a magnitude of people for plethora of reasons.
(01:54):
So in Dubai, it started out. Matter of fact, one
of my best friends is on Real Housewives of Dubai,
two of them Saba and Sarah, and so it started
out being a friendship and inviting me to places and business.
You know, during the height of COVID. Saba, which people
don't know, is a nanotechnologist. She's a technology genius. So
(02:17):
she and I were doing in visits smart we did
for a lot of different major things Miss America pageants,
et cetera, et cetera. And so they invited me to
visit Saba and her father invited me to visit Dubai.
You know, Middle Eastern people are very much into families
and if they invite you to meet their family. That
means they respect you, they want a relationship with you,
(02:38):
and they revere you know their parents.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
UH.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And so we had the best time both personally and
professionally as she introduced.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Me to other people.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And then in Dubai, my my contacts really grew. Abdulla
Loom is the CEO of Dubai UH, not Dubai seven
x UAE, which is every major company a country UH
in the In the UAE, it's equivalent to our United
States Post Office, but it's every country. And so I
(03:14):
met him, I met the owners of Canoe UH, which
is next to Imar.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They're the number two largest developers UH in the the
Middle East. UH.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Saba's father is an accredited registered accountant. He was in Europe,
he's in Dubai. So it just spread from there. That
was Dubai, but also Africa now has been an extension
of us of me and we have offices now in
Africa and Tanzania, UH. And I'm going over to put
an office in UH in Ghana and then a satellite
(03:47):
in Nigeria. And then also we have relationships that just
keep building. You know, when someone tells someone about you
and they tell someone else and the focus the core
capabilities of different companies have expanded, and my relationships in
(04:09):
those sectors in the goal sectors amplified. In the platform
sector of entrepreneurism and businesses and small businesses and megabusinesses
has amplified. In Dubai, I have a partner Safe Ltm.
And we have over five million followers in Dubai, so
(04:31):
this will be aired.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
This will be aired on my platform too.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So you're going to get an extra five million just
throughout the Middle East, and that doesn't count the people
in America and your platform.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So I just can't even imagine.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
But we have what we call Alpha Global Enterprise and
from A to Z what it's a membership only, exclusive
membership for individuals and also for corporations and whatever you
need to know from A to Z from starting a
business is to elevating own business, to creating more revenue
(05:03):
with the business, to master classes in marketing, branding, strategic advice.
We have also the East e commerce. So we actually
have a lot of people don't know about goal and
how to purchase Goal and you know the ecosystem of goals.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Meryl, I don't know about how to purchase go I
one goal. I'd heard about gold, but I've never bought gold.
How do you buy gold?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
A man of your caliber should not only buy gold retail.
You should be able to invest in buy goal abroad.
And the biggest challenge in Africa is that, well, let
me let me share a tidbit of information. The GDP
of the world for the last twenty years, I'm sorry,
(05:59):
the last forty years, Africa has never made the top
twenty once in every resource cobalt, gold, platinum, silver, rodium, copper,
every resource source is resourced from there, and they have
never been in the top twenty GDP in the world
(06:22):
ever because people go there, they rape them and rip
them off and come back, repackage it and sell it
to Europe, to Australia to wherever.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And what happens also.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Is they haven't even taken advantage of the agriculture there.
So now you have outside foreigners from different countries coming
in and buying up ports and buying up entire industries.
And so that's why I'm so proud of what we've
been able to do just with the gold industry.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now will you be able to do with the gold
industry because you know, we're starting to tell me how
to buy go and then we start talking about, you know,
being the Africa is not being recognized because people are
pill for in the country, which we all know has
been true. You have so many graphs that go over
there and corporate backers that go over there. But from
(07:18):
one stage of how to purchase goal and then also
how to be able to manipulate decisions, so it can
be advantageous to a person or everyday person to participate.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Here's two ways you can purchase goal. One is you
can purchase the kilos. Two you can purchase expired bullion.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Three you can purchase it from our.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Website, which will be up July one. I'm sorry July thirtieth.
But let me just tell you here's the challenge. When
you're outsider, you go there and just like any other business,
there could be scams and all this other stuff. So
to eliminate that, we actually bought gold mine licenses so
(08:01):
we actually own the goal mine number one. Number two
is we're building refineries and we have partnerships with refineries
that are already there, but we're building more modern refineries.
Number three, we have been approached by so many people
(08:22):
when they found out there's an honest, good African American
group doing this that want to partner with us and
supply us with gold from the mines.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They've worked the minds because they're getting ripped off.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
They get twenty percent of what they bring out, whereas
we offer them way over that amount, way over, okay.
And then the other thing that's very important is sometimes
if you buy goal there and you don't have a
reputable organization, by the time it gets to you here,
it has gone through customs, has gone through whatever, and
(08:58):
it's not pure. It's not that twenty four carrot, it's
not that ninety eight pens. I'll leave it to your imagination.
But things happen, okay. So you want an organization such
as w h Musa Ventures, which is I'm president and CEO.
(09:18):
You want an organization like that that guarantees your product
so you can buy. For instance, I don't know what
the goal is sells today. A few days back, it
was eighty three thousand dollars a kilo. But over there, okay,
you can probably get it for sixty seventy thousand dollars
a kilo. Okay, And that means You've taken good care
(09:41):
of the people who are in the minds working. You've
taken good care of the equipment they need. You've taken
good care of the right licenses, the certifications, the security
and transporting it, the vault and holding it and all
things up around that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yes, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
How you buy goal mine. Now can I ask this question?
Who are you?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I'm a product of Lillian and Timothy Crawford from Lancas
to South Carolina. My father was a janitor, my mother
was a cook, and they were the most important people
in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And the smartest people I know.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
My father had a PhD in life and a second
grade education, so everything that I know he taught me.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And all these other degrees I have.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
These academic degrees, they're wonderful, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They opened a lot of doors, you.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Know, from Masters at USC to undergrad a USC to
Harvard strategic business and what is it the marketing, etc.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They're wonderful.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
But my foundation comes from a little town in South
Carolina and from my family. I was known as the
chosen one when I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Now I'm fair for me with South Carolina. What little
town in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Lake's to South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Where's that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Kakilaki. It's twenty minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh, I know exactly what I said. That's right, right, right,
because I've been all up. I used to do stand
up comedy, and so I used to all over Dark Carolina,
South Carolina performing in one nighters and the big city
Charlotte and the big city, you know, Greenville and all
of so. It was a lot of fun and great food,
(11:24):
by the way, in the low country of South Carolina.
Great food. I look at the but I look at
the person like you, you know, worldly, you have to
be a person that really mentors a lot of individuals
into a position to where you at. How does one
create a relationship with our lady, Maryland Crawford.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm going to be very truthfully honest. I've mentioned over
one hundred and seven individuals.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Personally, I am tired. And what happened is.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
When I I was at the height of my business,
I had an office at forty five Broadway and a
home on forty five Warren that was the size of
a football field.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It was one of those lofts, right, So.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Harvard University brought down an entire class, sixty five people
for a day of mentoring with me. And then beyond that,
I felt my commitment and obligation to my HBCU young
people to help mentor them. So as people came to
work for me in my office, they've gone on to
(12:30):
do incredible things or work with me in my business.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Miata and Masa.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
David who do incredible stuff globally, they worked with me
initially in the Hamptons to do stuff. Then you have
people that have been in my office as a receptionists,
as secretaries, as account assistants, and they've gone on to
start their own branding businesses. So I'm very proud of
(13:05):
that mentorship. It's very exhausting, you know, it's a twenty
four to seventh thing. But I always think that when
you are given much, you should give back even more.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Because it way you receive it. You know, I'm gonna
be honest with you. Never been to Dubai as one
of your offices and Dubayu you's in New York City,
you said, Dubai, you said, saw the radio. I'm talking
to lady Marilyn Crawford. She's a chumpson one because of
her relationship. What I really have in my research of you,
you understand the value of relationship in the area of
(13:54):
communication and also commitment. Those are part of your brands
that is establish you over the years. Correct, yes, yes, sir,
and we are established in your relationships. To buy tell
my audience about to buy and why is it such
a staple or the most visited place in the world.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Well, the Sheikh has created utopia, He's created paradise. You
can leave your pocketbook with one hundred thousand dollars sticking
out of it on top of a car for two
weeks and go back and it's still there. The service,
and I don't call him service, I said, the service
(14:36):
from the people who help you with your daily routine,
with your serving your food, et cetera, et cetera, is impeccable,
bar none. You never hear Ray's voice, You never hear
a disagreement.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Never, And I've been over there on multiple occasions. Okay,
The safety of the woman, the safety of.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
The woman, you can go walk anywhere you want by yourself,
any time you want.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The safety is bar none.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The the business, they don't allow people to just come
over and open an account.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
They do their due diligence on you. And the business that.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Is done there is solid, substantial business. And and people's
word is their bond and then they put it in
in in writing. So what he's created the magnificence of
the number one city in the world with so much futuristic.
(15:42):
I mean, I can be standing in the park and
have a pizza delivered to me by air.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I can I can go to.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Uh, my friend's house, which is there's a there's an
area that he only gives to uh.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, let me put it this way.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
There nine thousand citizens in Dubai, right, but there are
only one thousand that are original. The eight thousand are
expay pats okay, so who have come there to seek
out this beautiful light.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I can go and actually live there.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
That actually lived there. Yes, I am, I'm an ex pat.
I wasn't born there. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The thousand that that were born there are are are
residents forever. We have to get golden residency and things
of that nature, you know, which which can be a
dual residency with USA, and you get it through going
through the proper channels, either investing in a business, investing
in real estate, or you know, or with your capabilities
(16:49):
of what you've already brought as value to Dubai.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There's so much.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
High level elevated thinking for technology, for innovation, for real estate,
for science, for art.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Fashion, you name it. So it is.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It is really the place to go to elevate your mind,
to embrace your soul and your spirit, and also to
elevate your business.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You know when I think about business, you know, there's
so many different oppositis of the here. You have United States,
you have Africa, and you just talked about Africa. But
there's so many stereotypes because we don't know, especially when
it comes to the cunture of Africa. You know, you
believe that comfory, no technology exists, there's backwards. The people
of our color of constantly and war tell us the
(17:45):
true story of Africa.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I am so glad you asked that.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
One of my partners in Word Holdings International is a
god by.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The name of Lord Ward.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That probably sounds familiar to a lot of your audience
because he was one of the few CEOs, first CEOs
of Fortune five hundred companies. He was Maytag and then
Freedo La right, and before that he was an executive
for many years with Procter and Gamble. Lloyd took the
knowledge that he learned and took it home to Africa
(18:23):
about the distribution system, the sustainable system, the agriculture system,
the marketing system, etc. And he has launched a two
billion dollar IPO that is valued at eight billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And he's one of the.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Only people in the world that got fifteen African countries
to sign on for one product.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And guess what that product is?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Is it water?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Gold?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
You want me to tell you, go, oh good tail man,
No not go cashews, cashews, the dust, cashews.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
The nut.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
We consume the nut, but we don't realize how valuable
that nut is and what can be extracted from that nut.
Matter of fact, I'm going to introduce him to you
because he needs to just do a whole masterclass on
the agriculture there.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But here's the thing. Here's the thing which is so
important is that he engaged a collaboration.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
And that's why I say my people, my black people,
my African people, my African American people, get out.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Of your own way. Four hundred years.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Of processing has said to us, to you and me,
that we're not good enough, that we need to be
validated by white folks, that we need to be validated
by the white culture.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Create your own culture, content, create your own businesses. And
that's what he's done for Africa, and that's what we're
doing in the gold business too. But the first.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Agriculture that we're really mastering is the cashing business. But
then we also have four or five IPOs down the line.
We're going to be doing coffee, We're going to be
doing avocado, We're going to be doing all of them.
But we're going to be doing them where they benefit Africans, Wow,
where they benefit.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
The money goes back in.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That is always the story, right, getting it back in,
recycling the money where it's thoughts. And that's the problem
with that you said earlier. The money is taken out
and is never recycled, which doesn't create jobs, doesn't fay taxes,
And that's what you are. Just a country just can't grow, right,
It can't grow because the taxes not benefiting anybody, because
(20:46):
the asset that they deliver is carried out.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You're absolutely right. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
When you see Africa, when you arrive there and you
see certain parts of Africa, you know it's obvious the
infrastructure has not been taken care of. Okay, the the
what do you call the where the where the babies are?
The orphanages, the orphanages, and also the schools and also
(21:14):
technology academies and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
We're showing them how they don't have to ask for money.
You have the resources.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
This is how you monetize your own resources so that
you're not beholding to anyone. We're making Africans independent.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And so I am so excited about this. I got
so excited about this that I.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Decided to invite one hundred African billionaires and millionaires and
one hundred global billionaires and millionaires to Las Vegas during
the week of the CEES, the Consumer Electronics Show, so
that they're over there at.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The largest November January.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
January first week of January. They will be here for
the largest show in America. Now Here was the challenge.
A lot of them didn't have visus, So what do
you do? You go to the State Department and you say, hey,
here's some billionaires who want to come and learn innovation.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
There's an opportunity to co invest with them, and they
need visus.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
You get all the legal paperwork and you get them
visus and then you hire a boy seven fifty seven,
which is over a million dollars, and you take those
hundred people and you say, fifty of you guys want
to come on the plane. Here's how much it costs each.
You put them on their private plane and you bring
them over here.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Can you tell everybody about that event this in January?
Because I know that electronics that's an amazing that's when
you tap into all the that even it a absolutely
any type of technology that may be coming out or
maybe ten years of five years from coming out, all
will be coming out is available at that technology center.
(23:05):
Please tell them about it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, here's the thing there.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
They do the CEES Consumer Electronics Show in several countries,
but the one in Las Vegas is the largest, and
for US in America, it's the most successful acccessible. Yeah right,
So here's the thing. Everybody's going to be there. CEOs
(23:29):
from Fortune five hundred companies, the most genius people in
technology throughout the world, the people who keep data, the
people who keep culture content for all cultures. Everyone is there.
So they're there for a week. So I was saying,
instead of me doing a summit in Africa or somewhere else,
(23:52):
you know, in the world and inviting them, why not
invite them where the center is, where the nucleus is
of innovation and technology for one week. So if your
listeners are listening, they should even try to go if
they're into technology and innovation. And right now today anybody
who has any.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Kind of business has to be into it. In any
kind of business.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
About two years ago, a year and a half ago,
I was approached and met some people, two people. They
happened to not be the same color as me. And
they said, oh my god, you have so many contacts,
you have so much going on, and we're doing things internationally,
and we have goal and we have this, and we
have that. And they were in a place that was
(24:39):
a stable place, meaning the building right the offices, and
so they asked me to do an equity and equities
fun with them. So I said, okay, everybody brings something
to the table.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Etc. So I said, and I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
This a little premature because I'm probably going to I
have to go to the legal way with them soon.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
But but I have nothing, nothing to hide and nothing
to lose from them because I'm the one who brought
the value. So they said to me, Okay, we're gonna
need some seed money for accounting for legal purposes, uh,
you know, uh, for expenses, et cetera. I said, okay,
how much do we need? They said, oh, about a
(25:24):
half a million dollars. I said, no problem, okay. So
I raised the hunt a half million dollars and I said, okay,
everybody else raised money, et cetera. And so and then
I said, you bring your resources to the table, people
who want to put money in the equity fund, and
I'll bring mine. Fast forward a year and a half later,
they brought nothing zero okay uh. And I asked for
(25:48):
a forensic accounting along the way. Give me a forensic accounty,
give me transactions, give me a profit and laws statement,
give me, give me the bank statement. Give me everything
right because I like to.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Keep everything clean and above board. Okay. Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
They tell me, oh, well, well, we don't understand why
you why you need that? I said, excuse me business,
don't make me quote business one on one. So we
we meet our attorney and they say to me they've
been doing informal accounting.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I said, well, I never heard of that. That's new
to me. Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
The only informant accounting I know is is fraud and
scam and.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Laundering whatever it is. But I ain't never heard of it. Right.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
So, to make a long story short, to this day,
they have not supplied me with the financial resolutions that
I have asked for. So I put it in writing
to them on several occasions. And now I have to
take it to the next step because you cannot do
a company and not use the funds for what it
(26:57):
was meant to be used for. And I have an
impeccable reputation which I plan to keep for the rest
of my life. Right, And so what I did is
I formed my own equities company and we will be
taking in money and I will be signing off on
every single transaction.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wow, she's the chosen one. She's the person that moving
a shaker. That's term has been applied to you. For
more importantly, a person who has offices in New York City.
Dupai and Saudi Arabia. Lady Maryland Crawford, thank you for coming.
No money making conversation. Now let me tell you something.
I'm the You've cracked open the door of information, swung
(27:42):
the door wide open based on curiosity. So I want
to invite you down to Atlanta. So let's do a
one on one interview. Can we do that?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You got it?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You got it one hundred percent, and you know, you
know what else we have to do. We have to
swing that doing Africa wide open.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
For our people.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I would do that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I love.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I've been down to South Africa, Durban, and uh, it's amazing.
That's why I was talking about stereotypes. There's so many
stereotypes where you'll realize that when I went to Derbert,
it was like landing in Atlanta, Georgia. That's how it is.
You have cars, you have roads of clean. They got
that old stereotype that black people are just savages. They're
(28:27):
selling that story and that's why I want to keep
telling the story by interviews like this, but also by
visiting myself and also providing technology and opportunities. Thank you

(00:49):
My guess is a global brand architects, strategists and marketer
with offices in New York City, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia.
Please welcome to Money Making Conversations Master Class. All Maryland Crawford,
Our Lady, Maryland Crawford, Please welco with the show. How
you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, first of all, what city are yet?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I had to look I'm in New York.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I want to get that cleared up right, docked up right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Now, that's very sad that I had to look.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So we have offices in New York City, Dubai, and
Saudi Arabia. How yes, explain that to me.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's my journey of professionalism.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I never met a stranger, and so I have offices
in those places because I have absolutely incredible partnerships and
partners who we created these opportunities together that allow us
to reach really a magnitude of people for plethora of reasons.
(01:54):
So in Dubai, it started out. Matter of fact, one
of my best friends is on Real Housewives of Dubai,
two of them Saba and Sarah, and so it started
out being a friendship and inviting me to places and business.
You know, during the height of COVID. Saba, which people
don't know, is a nanotechnologist. She's a technology genius. So
(02:17):
she and I were doing in visits smart we did
for a lot of different major things Miss America pageants,
et cetera, et cetera. And so they invited me to
visit Saba and her father invited me to visit Dubai.
You know, Middle Eastern people are very much into families
and if they invite you to meet their family. That
means they respect you, they want a relationship with you,
(02:38):
and they revere you know their parents.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
UH.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And so we had the best time both personally and
professionally as she introduced.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Me to other people.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And then in Dubai, my my contacts really grew. Abdulla
Loom is the CEO of Dubai UH, not Dubai seven
x UAE, which is every major company a country UH
in the In the UAE, it's equivalent to our United
States Post Office, but it's every country. And so I
(03:14):
met him, I met the owners of Canoe UH, which
is next to Imar.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They're the number two largest developers UH in the the
Middle East. UH.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Saba's father is an accredited registered accountant. He was in Europe,
he's in Dubai. So it just spread from there. That
was Dubai, but also Africa now has been an extension
of us of me and we have offices now in
Africa and Tanzania, UH. And I'm going over to put
an office in UH in Ghana and then a satellite
(03:47):
in Nigeria. And then also we have relationships that just
keep building. You know, when someone tells someone about you
and they tell someone else and the focus the core
capabilities of different companies have expanded, and my relationships in
(04:09):
those sectors in the goal sectors amplified. In the platform
sector of entrepreneurism and businesses and small businesses and megabusinesses
has amplified. In Dubai, I have a partner Safe Ltm.
And we have over five million followers in Dubai, so
(04:31):
this will be aired.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
This will be aired on my platform too.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So you're going to get an extra five million just
throughout the Middle East, and that doesn't count the people
in America and your platform.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So I just can't even imagine.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
But we have what we call Alpha Global Enterprise and
from A to Z what it's a membership only, exclusive
membership for individuals and also for corporations and whatever you
need to know from A to Z from starting a
business is to elevating own business, to creating more revenue
(05:03):
with the business, to master classes in marketing, branding, strategic advice.
We have also the East e commerce. So we actually
have a lot of people don't know about goal and
how to purchase Goal and you know the ecosystem of goals.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Meryl, I don't know about how to purchase go I
one goal. I'd heard about gold, but I've never bought gold.
How do you buy gold?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
A man of your caliber should not only buy gold retail.
You should be able to invest in buy goal abroad.
And the biggest challenge in Africa is that, well, let
me let me share a tidbit of information. The GDP
of the world for the last twenty years, I'm sorry,
(05:59):
the last forty years, Africa has never made the top
twenty once in every resource cobalt, gold, platinum, silver, rodium, copper,
every resource source is resourced from there, and they have
never been in the top twenty GDP in the world
(06:22):
ever because people go there, they rape them and rip
them off and come back, repackage it and sell it
to Europe, to Australia to wherever.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And what happens also.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Is they haven't even taken advantage of the agriculture there.
So now you have outside foreigners from different countries coming
in and buying up ports and buying up entire industries.
And so that's why I'm so proud of what we've
been able to do just with the gold industry.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now will you be able to do with the gold
industry because you know, we're starting to tell me how
to buy go and then we start talking about, you know,
being the Africa is not being recognized because people are
pill for in the country, which we all know has
been true. You have so many graphs that go over
there and corporate backers that go over there. But from
(07:18):
one stage of how to purchase goal and then also
how to be able to manipulate decisions, so it can
be advantageous to a person or everyday person to participate.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Here's two ways you can purchase goal. One is you
can purchase the kilos. Two you can purchase expired bullion.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Three you can purchase it from our.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Website, which will be up July one. I'm sorry July thirtieth.
But let me just tell you here's the challenge. When
you're outsider, you go there and just like any other business,
there could be scams and all this other stuff. So
to eliminate that, we actually bought gold mine licenses so
(08:01):
we actually own the goal mine number one. Number two
is we're building refineries and we have partnerships with refineries
that are already there, but we're building more modern refineries.
Number three, we have been approached by so many people
(08:22):
when they found out there's an honest, good African American
group doing this that want to partner with us and
supply us with gold from the mines.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They've worked the minds because they're getting ripped off.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
They get twenty percent of what they bring out, whereas
we offer them way over that amount, way over, okay.
And then the other thing that's very important is sometimes
if you buy goal there and you don't have a
reputable organization, by the time it gets to you here,
it has gone through customs, has gone through whatever, and
(08:58):
it's not pure. It's not that twenty four carrot, it's
not that ninety eight pens. I'll leave it to your imagination.
But things happen, okay. So you want an organization such
as w h Musa Ventures, which is I'm president and CEO.
(09:18):
You want an organization like that that guarantees your product
so you can buy. For instance, I don't know what
the goal is sells today. A few days back, it
was eighty three thousand dollars a kilo. But over there, okay,
you can probably get it for sixty seventy thousand dollars
a kilo. Okay, And that means You've taken good care
(09:41):
of the people who are in the minds working. You've
taken good care of the equipment they need. You've taken
good care of the right licenses, the certifications, the security
and transporting it, the vault and holding it and all
things up around that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yes, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
How you buy goal mine. Now can I ask this question?
Who are you?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I'm a product of Lillian and Timothy Crawford from Lancas
to South Carolina. My father was a janitor, my mother
was a cook, and they were the most important people
in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And the smartest people I know.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
My father had a PhD in life and a second
grade education, so everything that I know he taught me.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And all these other degrees I have.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
These academic degrees, they're wonderful, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They opened a lot of doors, you.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Know, from Masters at USC to undergrad a USC to
Harvard strategic business and what is it the marketing, etc.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They're wonderful.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
But my foundation comes from a little town in South
Carolina and from my family. I was known as the
chosen one when I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Now I'm fair for me with South Carolina. What little
town in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Lake's to South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Where's that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Kakilaki. It's twenty minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh, I know exactly what I said. That's right, right, right,
because I've been all up. I used to do stand
up comedy, and so I used to all over Dark Carolina,
South Carolina performing in one nighters and the big city
Charlotte and the big city, you know, Greenville and all
of so. It was a lot of fun and great food,
(11:24):
by the way, in the low country of South Carolina.
Great food. I look at the but I look at
the person like you, you know, worldly, you have to
be a person that really mentors a lot of individuals
into a position to where you at. How does one
create a relationship with our lady, Maryland Crawford.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm going to be very truthfully honest. I've mentioned over
one hundred and seven individuals.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Personally, I am tired. And what happened is.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
When I I was at the height of my business,
I had an office at forty five Broadway and a
home on forty five Warren that was the size of
a football field.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It was one of those lofts, right, So.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Harvard University brought down an entire class, sixty five people
for a day of mentoring with me. And then beyond that,
I felt my commitment and obligation to my HBCU young
people to help mentor them. So as people came to
work for me in my office, they've gone on to
(12:30):
do incredible things or work with me in my business.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Miata and Masa.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
David who do incredible stuff globally, they worked with me
initially in the Hamptons to do stuff. Then you have
people that have been in my office as a receptionists,
as secretaries, as account assistants, and they've gone on to
start their own branding businesses. So I'm very proud of
(13:05):
that mentorship. It's very exhausting, you know, it's a twenty
four to seventh thing. But I always think that when
you are given much, you should give back even more.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Because it way you receive it. You know, I'm gonna
be honest with you. Never been to Dubai as one
of your offices and Dubayu you's in New York City,
you said, Dubai, you said, saw the radio. I'm talking
to lady Marilyn Crawford. She's a chumpson one because of
her relationship. What I really have in my research of you,
you understand the value of relationship in the area of
(13:54):
communication and also commitment. Those are part of your brands
that is establish you over the years. Correct, yes, yes, sir,
and we are established in your relationships. To buy tell
my audience about to buy and why is it such
a staple or the most visited place in the world.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Well, the Sheikh has created utopia, He's created paradise. You
can leave your pocketbook with one hundred thousand dollars sticking
out of it on top of a car for two
weeks and go back and it's still there. The service,
and I don't call him service, I said, the service
(14:36):
from the people who help you with your daily routine,
with your serving your food, et cetera, et cetera, is impeccable,
bar none. You never hear Ray's voice, You never hear
a disagreement.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Never, And I've been over there on multiple occasions. Okay,
The safety of the woman, the safety of.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
The woman, you can go walk anywhere you want by yourself,
any time you want.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The safety is bar none.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The the business, they don't allow people to just come
over and open an account.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
They do their due diligence on you. And the business that.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Is done there is solid, substantial business. And and people's
word is their bond and then they put it in
in in writing. So what he's created the magnificence of
the number one city in the world with so much futuristic.
(15:42):
I mean, I can be standing in the park and
have a pizza delivered to me by air.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I can I can go to.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Uh, my friend's house, which is there's a there's an
area that he only gives to uh.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, let me put it this way.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
There nine thousand citizens in Dubai, right, but there are
only one thousand that are original. The eight thousand are
expay pats okay, so who have come there to seek
out this beautiful light.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I can go and actually live there.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
That actually lived there. Yes, I am, I'm an ex pat.
I wasn't born there. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The thousand that that were born there are are are
residents forever. We have to get golden residency and things
of that nature, you know, which which can be a
dual residency with USA, and you get it through going
through the proper channels, either investing in a business, investing
in real estate, or you know, or with your capabilities
(16:49):
of what you've already brought as value to Dubai.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There's so much.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
High level elevated thinking for technology, for innovation, for real estate,
for science, for art.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Fashion, you name it. So it is.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It is really the place to go to elevate your mind,
to embrace your soul and your spirit, and also to
elevate your business.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You know when I think about business, you know, there's
so many different oppositis of the here. You have United States,
you have Africa, and you just talked about Africa. But
there's so many stereotypes because we don't know, especially when
it comes to the cunture of Africa. You know, you
believe that comfory, no technology exists, there's backwards. The people
of our color of constantly and war tell us the
(17:45):
true story of Africa.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I am so glad you asked that.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
One of my partners in Word Holdings International is a
god by.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The name of Lord Ward.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
That probably sounds familiar to a lot of your audience
because he was one of the few CEOs, first CEOs
of Fortune five hundred companies. He was Maytag and then
Freedo La right, and before that he was an executive
for many years with Procter and Gamble. Lloyd took the
knowledge that he learned and took it home to Africa
(18:23):
about the distribution system, the sustainable system, the agriculture system,
the marketing system, etc. And he has launched a two
billion dollar IPO that is valued at eight billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And he's one of the.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Only people in the world that got fifteen African countries
to sign on for one product.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And guess what that product is?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Is it water?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Gold?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
You want me to tell you, go, oh good tail man,
No not go cashews, cashews, the dust, cashews.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
The nut.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
We consume the nut, but we don't realize how valuable
that nut is and what can be extracted from that nut.
Matter of fact, I'm going to introduce him to you
because he needs to just do a whole masterclass on
the agriculture there.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But here's the thing. Here's the thing which is so
important is that he engaged a collaboration.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
And that's why I say my people, my black people,
my African people, my African American people, get out.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Of your own way. Four hundred years.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Of processing has said to us, to you and me,
that we're not good enough, that we need to be
validated by white folks, that we need to be validated
by the white culture.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Create your own culture, content, create your own businesses. And
that's what he's done for Africa, and that's what we're
doing in the gold business too. But the first.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Agriculture that we're really mastering is the cashing business. But
then we also have four or five IPOs down the line.
We're going to be doing coffee, We're going to be
doing avocado, We're going to be doing all of them.
But we're going to be doing them where they benefit Africans, Wow,
where they benefit.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
The money goes back in.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That is always the story, right, getting it back in,
recycling the money where it's thoughts. And that's the problem
with that you said earlier. The money is taken out
and is never recycled, which doesn't create jobs, doesn't fay taxes,
And that's what you are. Just a country just can't grow, right,
It can't grow because the taxes not benefiting anybody, because
(20:46):
the asset that they deliver is carried out.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You're absolutely right. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
When you see Africa, when you arrive there and you
see certain parts of Africa, you know it's obvious the
infrastructure has not been taken care of. Okay, the the
what do you call the where the where the babies are?
The orphanages, the orphanages, and also the schools and also
(21:14):
technology academies and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
We're showing them how they don't have to ask for money.
You have the resources.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
This is how you monetize your own resources so that
you're not beholding to anyone. We're making Africans independent.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And so I am so excited about this. I got
so excited about this that I.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Decided to invite one hundred African billionaires and millionaires and
one hundred global billionaires and millionaires to Las Vegas during
the week of the CEES, the Consumer Electronics Show, so
that they're over there at.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The largest November January.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
January first week of January. They will be here for
the largest show in America. Now Here was the challenge.
A lot of them didn't have visus, So what do
you do? You go to the State Department and you say, hey,
here's some billionaires who want to come and learn innovation.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
There's an opportunity to co invest with them, and they
need visus.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
You get all the legal paperwork and you get them
visus and then you hire a boy seven fifty seven,
which is over a million dollars, and you take those
hundred people and you say, fifty of you guys want
to come on the plane. Here's how much it costs each.
You put them on their private plane and you bring
them over here.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Can you tell everybody about that event this in January?
Because I know that electronics that's an amazing that's when
you tap into all the that even it a absolutely
any type of technology that may be coming out or
maybe ten years of five years from coming out, all
will be coming out is available at that technology center.
(23:05):
Please tell them about it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, here's the thing there.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
They do the CEES Consumer Electronics Show in several countries,
but the one in Las Vegas is the largest, and
for US in America, it's the most successful acccessible. Yeah right,
So here's the thing. Everybody's going to be there. CEOs
(23:29):
from Fortune five hundred companies, the most genius people in
technology throughout the world, the people who keep data, the
people who keep culture content for all cultures. Everyone is there.
So they're there for a week. So I was saying,
instead of me doing a summit in Africa or somewhere else,
(23:52):
you know, in the world and inviting them, why not
invite them where the center is, where the nucleus is
of innovation and technology for one week. So if your
listeners are listening, they should even try to go if
they're into technology and innovation. And right now today anybody
who has any.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Kind of business has to be into it. In any
kind of business.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
About two years ago, a year and a half ago,
I was approached and met some people, two people. They
happened to not be the same color as me. And
they said, oh my god, you have so many contacts,
you have so much going on, and we're doing things internationally,
and we have goal and we have this, and we
have that. And they were in a place that was
(24:39):
a stable place, meaning the building right the offices, and
so they asked me to do an equity and equities
fun with them. So I said, okay, everybody brings something
to the table.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Etc. So I said, and I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
This a little premature because I'm probably going to I
have to go to the legal way with them soon.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
But but I have nothing, nothing to hide and nothing
to lose from them because I'm the one who brought
the value. So they said to me, Okay, we're gonna
need some seed money for accounting for legal purposes, uh,
you know, uh, for expenses, et cetera. I said, okay,
how much do we need? They said, oh, about a
(25:24):
half a million dollars. I said, no problem, okay. So
I raised the hunt a half million dollars and I said, okay,
everybody else raised money, et cetera. And so and then
I said, you bring your resources to the table, people
who want to put money in the equity fund, and
I'll bring mine. Fast forward a year and a half later,
they brought nothing zero okay uh. And I asked for
(25:48):
a forensic accounting along the way. Give me a forensic accounty,
give me transactions, give me a profit and laws statement,
give me, give me the bank statement. Give me everything
right because I like to.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Keep everything clean and above board. Okay. Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
They tell me, oh, well, well, we don't understand why
you why you need that? I said, excuse me business,
don't make me quote business one on one. So we
we meet our attorney and they say to me they've
been doing informal accounting.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I said, well, I never heard of that. That's new
to me. Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
The only informant accounting I know is is fraud and
scam and.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Laundering whatever it is. But I ain't never heard of it. Right.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
So, to make a long story short, to this day,
they have not supplied me with the financial resolutions that
I have asked for. So I put it in writing
to them on several occasions. And now I have to
