Speaker 1 (00:00):
Red Lobster has filed bankruptcy and started closing
down locations Like they justone day one day, they announced
it the next day.
They're like we closinglocations.
So, our crew here in Dallasdecided to go out to Red Lobster
to make sure our kids at leasthas experienced some Cheddar Bay
biscuits to say that they'vehad it.
(00:20):
I wasn't in town to celebratethere, but Anthony said while
there they met someone reallyinteresting.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, yeah.
So this is about just findinggood people in unlikely places.
So imagine this.
Let me give you guys a scenario.
So imagine you go to your joband your boss is like, yeah,
we're going to close down in acouple weeks, right, and you
still show up to work becauseyou still want to get paid.
Did this location say they wereclosing soon?
We didn't.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
They didn't, we didn't, they didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
They didn't have any idea.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
They didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We asked the people that was there, like when you
guys are going to close, and Iwas like we don't, we don't know
yet.
Oh, okay, so imagine actually,you know what.
Imagine you don't want to behere, you're not happy to be
here, you know you're losingyour job, you don't know what's
next.
There's so much uncertainty inyour life where you need this
(01:07):
job to maintain, and this serverthat we had had the complete
opposite of that.
He was friendly, he wascheerful, he was cracking jokes,
he was exciting, he wasaccommodating, he was everything
that you would have wanted in aserver.
And we were sitting there andy'all had four kids with y'all,
we had four kids there was.
How many adults?
Five adults, five adults.
(01:29):
Four kids we had a full table,kids was making noise, whatever,
and he was just coming over.
He was also serving multipletables at a time.
It wasn't just us.
Our table could have been two,three tables.
He was serving these othertables.
(01:49):
He came back, checked on us,let us know.
Hey, just let you guys knowwe're low on staff for obvious
reasons that I can't talk about.
Obviously they're closing andhe's like we're just.
You know, we're trying to makeit work.
Just please be patient, I'll dowhat I can.
Oh was, he was like yeah, I'mjust, you know.
So he came aboard the salad.
I was like, hey guys, I'm goingto give you guys this free
salad because your food is goingto take some time.
I'm like, oh, we're gettingfree salads.
He's like it's on the house.
He's like we won't be here toomuch longer.
(02:10):
But it's on the house, right,he's cracking jokes and we were
just like, damn this guy out, Icould, right, and I would.
(02:31):
So at the end of theconversation we were all
checking out, we gave him anamazing tip.
He was super flexible witheverything and at the end of the
night I'm like yo, you knowwhat.
I don't know if I got a rolefor you or not, but check us out
on social media.
Here's my phone number.
Shoot me a text and maybe wecan figure something out.
Maybe there's a role for you inour company, right?
And I have no idea.
He's like what are you doing?
I own a cleaning business.
I own some um.
(02:52):
I also own an educationbusiness where we help people,
you know, start their owncleaning businesses.
Check outcleaningbusinessuniversity
commercial break.
But I was like I don't know whatyou could do, but you have a
great personality, we might beable to figure something out.
And now I say all that to say Idon't know where that's going
to go.
Right, he might never hit me upor he might, and then I still
(03:12):
might not be able to know wherehe's going to go, but I'm like
he was a great person, greatpersonality when you're thinking
about business and business isall around us sometimes you
might be looking for peopleonline.
It might make sense to getoffline and find good people
online I mean in person.
So that was the moral of that.
(03:33):
So you might find good peoplein unlikely places.
So always show up and do yourbest, because you never know
who's going to be watching you.
Yeah, in any capacity.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I agree, so now.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I tweeted about this guy.
The tweet went fake viral.
I posted it on our social viralpage on tweets.
Yeah, my teeth be going off.
Um, I posted on our socialmedia page too, like yo, that's
great idea.
Blah, blah, blah.
And now we're talking about iton a podcast, right?
You never know who's gonna bewatching you, so maybe I'll run
into andrew.
I might go run on him like yo,you hit me up.
Yeah, what's good up yet what'sgood Like you trying to work or
not?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Like we can figure this out.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But you never know who's watching you.
You never know whatopportunities may be out there
for you.
So always show up in your bestcapacity when you can.
Yes, that's the moral of thatstory.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
All right, and our last lesson learned in our weeks
of existing, I guess lastcouple weeks, last couple weeks,
number eight is businesseseverywhere.
So we have a child and if youhave a child, you probably know
who miss Rachel is.
So we just there is a wholething.
We constantly haveconversations about miss Rachel
and there's also somebody namedBlippi and Mika and the reason
(04:37):
why we're talking about this?
Because we recently went to aBlippi and Mika show locally and
so we always like why MissRachel don't got, why Miss
Rachel don't got?
And even before then, duringChristmas, I saw Amazon sent the
book Blippi has likemerchandise, so tons of merch,
like actual toys and books andall these things.
Miss Rachel does not have this.
So we were like the comparisonof the two, like trying to
(05:00):
figure that out.
And then we went down a rabbithole with him, went down a
rabbit hole with him, went downa rabbit hole with him and for
her miss rachel is a was aschool teacher that started
doing videos online because shecouldn't find.
I think her, her son had like aspeech issue.
She couldn't find those type ofvideos, so she started doing it
on her own.
Husband is a musician musicianon broadway, composer, something
(05:22):
like that he's done.
So he does the music, she doesthe videos.
If you look at her older videos, it's very like, very baseline
in her apartment just getting itdone.
So that's who she is and that'show she has started.
To my knowledge, she still ownsthis.
Um, miss Rachel I think it'scalled songs for littittles or
whatever.
(05:42):
She still owns this YouTube orwhatever.
Now, blippi, on this other side,he also has somebody named Mika
and he goes to differentlocations, which is a bigger
difference from Miss Rachel.
Once again, she was a teacher,so their lessons are a little
different, and so we're like whydoesn't Miss Rachel have A, b
(06:03):
and C?
Because any parent that youspeak to would say Miss Rachel
is a third parent or someonethat they love in the household.
Maybe your kid watches Blippi,maybe not, but everyone knows
Miss Rachel, so she could bebigger, if you will, doing tours
of shows and having merchandiseif you will, but she doesn't.
She's finally coming out withher first book this year I think
(06:26):
it's September, finally and sowe were talking about the
differences of the two of them.
Like she still owns it, he hassold it.
It is actually her doing it,all those other things.
So what else did we learn aboutthe differences?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Number one he started his YouTube.
It was just a YouTube page thathe started and just him
dressing up which is blippy Himdressing up.
This is 2000.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And I don't know how long she's been around a while
too.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You can look it up or something, but we found out
that he sold the rights to hisshow for ten million dollars.
Was it ten or a hundred?
Was it a hundred?
It was ten, it wasn't a hundred.
Ten, was it 10 or 100?
Was?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
it 100?
It was 10.
It wasn't 100.
I don't think it was 100.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
$10 million.
It was a YouTube channel thathe just started.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
She started in 2019.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, so in a couple years she'll be where he is, and
if not further.
So you got somebody who's donethe thing that you want to do,
and the problem is is that a lotof times we like what was it?
I forgot what the?
Was it Disney or Sony orsomething, Some studio or
(07:30):
something like that for $10million and he sold the rights,
he sold you know whatever, andhe's just living his life.
We were on his Instagram pageand he was just in his car doing
a video or something like that.
But could you imagine startingsomething on YouTube that you
didn't even know was going totake off the way it did and
being able to sell it for, Ithink, 10 years later for $10
million or something like that?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I told million dollars or something like that.
I told you it was something big.
He was acquired for 120 millionby moonbug entertainment, which
then was acquired from bydisney.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So disney bought it from he, so it was acquired for
120 million.
Wow, it wasn't 10, 120 120million dollars.
I don't know if he got 120million.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
We got to look that up it says steven john John sold
Blippi and Adele valued Okay,maybe it's not that Valued at
$120 million in December 2023.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And then they sold it to Disney for $3 billion.
$3 billion with a B.
So you're like well, how doesthis even apply to business?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't know, but business is-.
Well, this is a business.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
This is a full business.
Business is everywhere andwe're having this conversation
Like how did they even start?
Right?
This is one of the things we doin our household.
Like you guys may not Like wewould be sitting there watching
something.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'm like damn, what is he Like it was just a random
who is he, Because you're alwayslike who the hell is he?
Why are we going to his show.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It was like $70 a person.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't remember $60 a person.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'm like this show is expensive and I know who he is,
because we watched the show.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh no, it was like 40 something, but after the fees
On Ticketmaster.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, we were watching the show and I'm like
why are we going there in person?
There's so many people thatthat's what kind of Made me
trigger.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
To go back and the merchandise.
And the glasses and the kidsthat show because he's not as
big for us in our household asit was for the people at this
show.
They clearly knew songs that wedidn't know, and we were like
we're so far behind I mean twoyears in, but we came.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I came back and I was just so baffled by how do all
these people know who this guyis, how big is he?
Because we watched a little 1015 minute video and we came back
and went down a rabbit hole andwe were like it was $120
million.
And then we saw that Disneybought it from them for $3
billion.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And I was like, could you imagine?
And then it became why doesn'tMs Rachel have this?
That's why it was that.
And then we went down a rabbithole of Ms Rachel.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Was Ms Rachel going to be able to sell her.
So, if you think about it likethis, he started 10 years before
Ms Rachel.
He was able to sell his for$120 million.
Ms Rachel is where she is today, and she has the information
that he had, plus theinformation that she has today,
but she doesn't operate that waystill, though, but it's not yet
, because she's.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You think she hasn't sold yet, because think about it
.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
When he started he was where she is now, so he's
still.
She's still trying to navigatewhere he was eight years ago.
Her navigate where he was eightyears ago.
Her first video is trying tofigure this out.
Now she has the understandingthat he was able to sell his for
120 million.
If you're able to take theinformation that somebody
already has, they started in2014 2014.
She started in 2020 she started2019.
(10:24):
Yeah 2019, so she's five yearsbehind him, but she also has
information that he didn't havewhen he started.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, so he started in 2014.
He joined the moonbud netentertainment in 2020, so six
years after starting, and thenhe sold to them three years
after.
So within eight years, he wasable to sell his company at 120
million dollars.
So, like our um, our businesscoach, she's at five years she
was.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
She had this lady on the podcast and it was someone,
madam cj walker right, madam cjwalker was the first black
millionaire, like our businesscoach Donnie.
She had this lady on thepodcast and it was someone Madam
CJ Walker.
Right, madam CJ Walker was thefirst black millionaire first
black woman millionaire, firstblack millionaire in general.
I don't remember which one it is, but she was saying.
The lady on the episode wasjust saying, hey, I mimicked her
model and I knew that if shewas able to do a million dollars
(11:08):
back then I should be able todo $ million dollars back.
Then I should be able to do 100million dollars in my business
today.
And donnie was just saying thatI can't fathom doing a hundred
million dollars.
She's like no, you need tofathom doing 500 million.
She's like if I'm able to do100 million and she was able to
do a million, you should be ableto do 500 million.
And now it just makes you thinkdifferently.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So if miss rachel saw that, he's so for you, miss
rachel, he sold his company for120 million.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I have the information that D he didn't
have.
I have the tools that he didn'thave in technology.
I have the AI, I have thegraphics, I have the team, I
have the marketing the audience.
I have the branding.
I have the audience that hedidn't have.
I should be able to sell mycompany for 500 million and get
acquired for maybe 8 billion, 10billion.
(11:56):
So sometimes it just takes ushaving that, having that head
start and just seeing whatsomebody else was doing, so that
we can know what we need to dofor ourselves.
Agreed, so we went off on atangent on that.
No, that was the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, you, I'm like 10 million, I'm like no, I think
it was bigger than that.
10 million is a lot, don't?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
get me wrong, but everywhere.
But you gotta be able to lookat what other people are doing
and be able to say, if theycould do that, I should be able
to do this.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And I know Miss Rachel can.
Okay, if you don't, if you,okay, if you're listening, miss
Rachel, I know that you can andI want to see merch People will
wear the jumper and the pinkheadband suit as well, cause
that's how she dresses.
And, yes, we know that you canbe you yourself touring in every
(12:35):
city.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So another concept that could be applicable to this
.
Think about Tyler Perry.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
When he started and he was doing the tours, he was
doing everything himself.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So now people come into the game and they see what
Tyler Perry is doing, like KevinHart is like I'm seeing what
Tyler Perry has done with hisproduction studio, now I'm
building it.
So Tyler Perry was able to hita billion.
Kevin Hart is like y'all gotthe same infrastructure and I've
learned from him, so I shouldbe able to do more than that and
faster so just like ourstudents, just like our students
.
So we got students who weredoing a hundred thousand in
(13:07):
their first year we only did 80.
And then we got studentshitting a million dollars in
half the time that we did.
It's like if we had the, if wehad the coaching, the
infrastructure, the blueprintthat you guys had and I was like
you could have got, you shouldbe able to do that in half the
time that we did.
It's all about taking thatinformation and taking it to
that next level.
So business is everywhere.
Consume what you have and usewhat the reason.
Use the resources that peoplehave given you yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So thank you for listening to our eight lessons.
We didn't think of two more.
It's eight, yeah, eightbusiness lessons we learned over
the past few weeks.
Make sure you are commentingwith us and let us know what
your takeaway.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
What was your favorite lesson?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, and see you again in next week.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
All right guys, peace , take care.
Red Lobster has filed bankruptcy and started closing
down locations Like they justone day one day, they announced
it the next day.

(00:20):
I wasn't in town to celebratethere, but Anthony said while
there they met someone reallyinteresting.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, yeah.
So this is about just findinggood people in unlikely places.
So imagine this.
Let me give you guys a scenario.
So imagine you go to your joband your boss is like, yeah,
we're going to close down in acouple weeks, right, and you
still show up to work becauseyou still want to get paid.
Did this location say they wereclosing soon?
We didn't.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
They didn't, we didn't, they didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
They didn't have any idea.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
They didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We asked the people that was there, like when you
guys are going to close, and Iwas like we don't, we don't know
yet.
Oh, okay, so imagine actually,you know what.
Imagine you don't want to behere, you're not happy to be
here, you know you're losingyour job, you don't know what's
next.
There's so much uncertainty inyour life where you need this
(01:07):
job to maintain, and this serverthat we had had the complete

Was it ten or a hundred?
Was it a hundred?
It was ten, it wasn't a hundred.
Ten, was it 10 or 100?
Was?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
it 100?
It was 10.
It wasn't 100.
I don't think it was 100.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
$10 million.
It was a YouTube channel thathe just started.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
She started in 2019.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, so in a couple years she'll be where he is, and
if not further.
So you got somebody who's donethe thing that you want to do,
and the problem is is that a lotof times we like what was it?
I forgot what the?
Was it Disney or Sony orsomething, Some studio or
(07:30):
something like that for $10million and he sold the rights,
he sold you know whatever, andhe's just living his life.
We were on his Instagram pageand he was just in his car doing
a video or something like that.
But could you imagine startingsomething on YouTube that you
didn't even know was going totake off the way it did and
being able to sell it for, Ithink, 10 years later for $10
million or something like that?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I told million dollars or something like that.
I told you it was something big.
He was acquired for 120 millionby moonbug entertainment, which
then was acquired from bydisney.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So disney bought it from he, so it was acquired for
120 million.
Wow, it wasn't 10, 120 120million dollars.
I don't know if he got 120million.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
We got to look that up it says steven john John sold
Blippi and Adele valued Okay,maybe it's not that Valued at
$120 million in December 2023.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And then they sold it to Disney for $3 billion.
$3 billion with a B.
So you're like well, how doesthis even apply to business?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't know, but business is-.
Well, this is a business.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
This is a full business.
Business is everywhere andwe're having this conversation
Like how did they even start?
Right?
This is one of the things we doin our household.
Like you guys may not Like wewould be sitting there watching
something.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'm like damn, what is he Like it was just a random
who is he, Because you're alwayslike who the hell is he?
Why are we going to his show.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It was like $70 a person.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't remember $60 a person.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'm like this show is expensive and I know who he is,
because we watched the show.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh no, it was like 40 something, but after the fees
On Ticketmaster.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, we were watching the show and I'm like
why are we going there in person?
There's so many people thatthat's what kind of Made me
trigger.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
To go back and the merchandise.
And the glasses and the kidsthat show because he's not as
big for us in our household asit was for the people at this
show.
They clearly knew songs that wedidn't know, and we were like
we're so far behind I mean twoyears in, but we came.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I came back and I was just so baffled by how do all
these people know who this guyis, how big is he?
Because we watched a little 1015 minute video and we came back
and went down a rabbit hole andwe were like it was $120
million.
And then we saw that Disneybought it from them for $3
billion.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And I was like, could you imagine?
And then it became why doesn'tMs Rachel have this?
That's why it was that.
And then we went down a rabbithole of Ms Rachel.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Was Ms Rachel going to be able to sell her.
So, if you think about it likethis, he started 10 years before
Ms Rachel.
He was able to sell his for$120 million.
Ms Rachel is where she is today, and she has the information
that he had, plus theinformation that she has today,
but she doesn't operate that waystill, though, but it's not yet
, because she's.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You think she hasn't sold yet, because think about it
.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
When he started he was where she is now, so he's
still.
She's still trying to navigatewhere he was eight years ago.
Her navigate where he was eightyears ago.
Her first video is trying tofigure this out.
Now she has the understandingthat he was able to sell his for
120 million.
If you're able to take theinformation that somebody
already has, they started in2014 2014.
She started in 2020 she started2019.
(10:24):
Yeah 2019, so she's five yearsbehind him, but she also has
information that he didn't havewhen he started.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, so he started in 2014.
He joined the moonbud netentertainment in 2020, so six
years after starting, and thenhe sold to them three years
after.
So within eight years, he wasable to sell his company at 120
million dollars.
So, like our um, our businesscoach, she's at five years she
was.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
She had this lady on the podcast and it was someone,
madam cj walker right, madam cjwalker was the first black
millionaire, like our businesscoach Donnie.
She had this lady on thepodcast and it was someone Madam
CJ Walker.
Right, madam CJ Walker was thefirst black millionaire first
black woman millionaire, firstblack millionaire in general.
I don't remember which one it is, but she was saying.
The lady on the episode wasjust saying, hey, I mimicked her
model and I knew that if shewas able to do a million dollars
(11:08):
back then I should be able todo $ million dollars back.
Then I should be able to do 100million dollars in my business
today.
And donnie was just saying thatI can't fathom doing a hundred
million dollars.
She's like no, you need tofathom doing 500 million.
She's like if I'm able to do100 million and she was able to
do a million, you should be ableto do 500 million.
And now it just makes you thinkdifferently.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So if miss rachel saw that, he's so for you, miss
rachel, he sold his company for120 million.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I have the information that D he didn't
have.
I have the tools that he didn'thave in technology.
I have the AI, I have thegraphics, I have the team, I
have the marketing the audience.
I have the branding.
I have the audience that hedidn't have.
I should be able to sell mycompany for 500 million and get
acquired for maybe 8 billion, 10billion.
(11:56):
So sometimes it just takes ushaving that, having that head
start and just seeing whatsomebody else was doing, so that
we can know what we need to dofor ourselves.
Agreed, so we went off on atangent on that.
No, that was the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, you, I'm like 10 million, I'm like no, I think
it was bigger than that.
10 million is a lot, don't?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
get me wrong, but everywhere.
But you gotta be able to lookat what other people are doing
and be able to say, if theycould do that, I should be able
to do this.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And I know Miss Rachel can.
Okay, if you don't, if you,okay, if you're listening, miss
Rachel, I know that you can andI want to see merch People will
wear the jumper and the pinkheadband suit as well, cause
that's how she dresses.
And, yes, we know that you canbe you yourself touring in every
(12:35):
city.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So another concept that could be applicable to this
.
Think about Tyler Perry.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
When he started and he was doing the tours, he was
doing everything himself.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So now people come into the game and they see what
Tyler Perry is doing, like KevinHart is like I'm seeing what
Tyler Perry has done with hisproduction studio, now I'm
building it.
So Tyler Perry was able to hita billion.
Kevin Hart is like y'all gotthe same infrastructure and I've
learned from him, so I shouldbe able to do more than that and
faster so just like ourstudents, just like our students
.
So we got students who weredoing a hundred thousand in
(13:07):
their first year we only did 80.
And then we got studentshitting a million dollars in
half the time that we did.
It's like if we had the, if wehad the coaching, the
infrastructure, the blueprintthat you guys had and I was like
you could have got, you shouldbe able to do that in half the
time that we did.
It's all about taking thatinformation and taking it to
that next level.
So business is everywhere.
Consume what you have and usewhat the reason.
Use the resources that peoplehave given you yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So thank you for listening to our eight lessons.
We didn't think of two more.
It's eight, yeah, eightbusiness lessons we learned over
the past few weeks.

your takeaway.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
