(02:52):
now let me introduce you to my very esteemed guests
here in studio today. First is Eric Tippetts, co founder
of Nasgo blockchain internet application platform from Orange County, California.
With his co founder Steve Chang, they've sold a combined
sum of more than three billion for the companies they've

(03:13):
worked for with so far. Eric is the author of
a financial self help book, To the Top Simple Everyday

And last but not least, Jeff Farr Jackson is a
rising star singer, songwriter and entertainer. Second youngest son to
legendary singer, songwriter and producer Jermaine Jackson and nephew to

(03:56):
the King of Pop Michael Jackson. As a young child,
Jaffar had aspirations of being a professional golfer. However, having
grown up surrounded by a family of iconic entertainers in Nincino,
California his entire life, it was only natural that Jaffar
followed suit, beginning his musical career at the tender age
of twelve. Jafar is well versed in playing the piano.

(04:17):
I didn't know that, and has developed a slew of techniques,
techniques and a wealth of knowledge in music and artistry,
with dreams of traveling to Paris and collaborating with renowned
producer Rick Rubin. Jaffar's limitless tenor voice, captivating swagger, and
magnetic pop and R and B vibe are sure to

(04:38):
lead him to influence people of all demographics. And he
has my vote. He wants to be remembered and this
is my favorite part as an artist who makes great
music by telling stories all the while inspiring people to
be themselves. Please welcome to my studio, Jeffar Jackson and
Eric Tippics.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I am yeah, yeah, I don't there there was a
little swagger. You're definitely not overdone, but I'm so happy
to have you here. Yeah, I just fell in love
with you on the red carpet. It was just an
instantaneous thing. I was grateful that I was first on

(05:25):
that long carpet, and I think we connected, yeah, because
I know that you don't always say yes, so when
I asked, I was very happy that you said yes.
And and I just I just know, like I feel
so many wonderful things coming for you that are already
in the pipeline, and all your dreams are gonna come true.

(05:45):
And you do embody that spirit of love through song
and you haven't got any of that cynical who do
you think you are at all? And I hope it
never comes. So that's my blessing for me to you.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Thank you so.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Much, and I just I just love that. I just
love that. So so we're here. Well, you know, you've
got this giant fan club. I've never been quite so
supported by a fan club. I think the day after
I posted from the Dolby Theater, I got this you know, Oh,

(06:21):
can we you know, tag the photo and can we
highlight you? I like, uh yeah, And then we were
all over the place and thousands and thousands of you.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
So I hope you know that you're very well loved.
I think you know that right.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
I've seen a few of the fan pages and it
makes me really happy that they're getting involved. And the
more I put my and share my music, yeah, the
more excited they get.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
So to hear that, yeah beautiful. So I want you
to tell the story that you told me on the
rig carpet. I asked you, you know, did you start
singing like out of the birth Canal or I said, Jackson.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
A lot of people think and thought I had been
singing all my life, but I was into golf until
twelve or thirteen, and I never pictured myself singing being
an artist. I was going to the golf course at
least four times or five times a week with the

(07:25):
golf teacher and training and practicing all the time. I
did a few golf tournaments with my dad and it
was very exciting and I had a great time. And
then my dad gave my little brother and I a
song called Touch by the Jackson five to practice. I
practiced for about a week with him, and then I

(07:47):
was so scared I had to sing it in front
of him, and I've never been so scared. So we
did that, and he saw potential in both of our voices.
So he started taking us to the studio and teaching us,
teaching us a few techniques that he was taught as
a child. And then I found a love for music.

(08:10):
He opened the door to show me that new passion.
I feel like it was always there, but I never,
you know, try to do it on my own. He
opened the door for it. So I'm very blessed and
happy that he did that. It was never forced upon.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Me that that.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
That was my next question, So, but why were you
afraid to do that in front of him?

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Because no, I'm still afraid to. When I did my
first show, it was in somewhere in the Netherlands, I
was very scared to sing on stage. He sang a
Christmas song at stage, But when I did the show
at the Dolby on myself, he wasn't there, so I

(08:54):
wasn't as scared.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Interesting is it because he's he's an amazing singer, and
so the well, he's very.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
He always wants me to do my best, so he
makes he makes sure.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
So the perfectionist. Yes, yes, okay, I understand that.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
He's very honest, which I'm happy.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, beautiful, beautiful, Well, you have nothing to be afraid
of So you have like natural stuff going on for sure,
because you know it's it's like that, you know, people go, oh, well,
you're a Jackson, right, so of course you're going to
be able to sing and you have all this. But
I was thinking about that the other day, that the

(09:41):
you know, there's benefits and there's consequences, right, there's some
there's a lot of pluses, but then there could be potentially,
you know, that fear factor or you know, being compared
or who do you think you are? And who are
you trying to be? And you want to be yourself
And at the same time, your uncle was the biggest,

(10:02):
the king of pop as they call it. Did you
have a relationship with him?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Growing up, we'd always the whole family go down to
Neverland and spend holidays there and I'll get together.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yeah great times, Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, feelings when when you found out I found about
what when he died, transitions, I should say.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
It was it was very very tough. Yeah. I can't
even I can't put my mind back to how I
felt that.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah. Yeah, but I'm one that believes that life is
eternal and uh so, I you know, without sounding too
woo woo. When you started singing like I felt like
it was more than you so so I think he's
absolutely nodding, thank you, thank you being there, so I

(10:59):
don't leave Erica. But you know, his fans.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Are like you, I'm enjoying this. You know that for us,
that was one of the most pleasurable really connections because
because of how authentic ja'far really is, like you're saying,
I mean, when you meet him, it's the real del

(11:22):
This is who he is. You know, whether we're here
or he's on the golf course and we're playing golf
and just getting to know each other, this is this
is a person that, this is his soul, who he's
supposed to be. And I feel like that comes out
in his music every time I hear that, I hear
this innocence that you know, is very tough to to

(11:47):
have that when you've got such standards of being held
at that level. I feel like it would be more
tough because you're being compared all the time. And I
feel like he's he's who he is, and he's got
his own personality, his own being, his own style, And
for us, we're super excited to be to be you

(12:10):
know along his journey with him.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah. Yeah, So let's talk about that for a bit.
So the traditional way of musicians making it, yes, is
to sign with a big record label. They kind of
tell you what to wear, how to develop, what songs
to sing. You have a producer, you have a manager.

(12:33):
That's the traditional way, right. And one of the things
that technology has helped and hurt is the musician's ability
to get money energy, right, napster. You know all the
ways in which we can get music for free that
we don't understand it actually hurts the artist. So then

(12:53):
incomes White Knight.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Eric Tippetts, who is a co founder of Disruptive. I've
never heard disruptive used in such a positive way, I
have to say, until the last year.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
And you know what, I would almost it's funny. I
had this debate with somebody. They were talking disruptive. I'd
almost call it a realignment, a reorganization.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
It isn't.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
I don't want to go in.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
I'm not.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
There's not a negative. I'm trying to go in. I'm
trying to realign people to be more in sync.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yes, yes, yes, they're doing yes.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
But at the same time, there is a disruptive in
a good way, because some things need to be disruptive,
Some things that aren't going well or are not fair
need to be disrupted. Next week I have Jobe Weeks
on the show who told me he actually has had

(13:47):
some conversation with you and this whole you know, we're
being given an opportunity to write things that have gotten
unaligned or realign things that have gotten.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
It takes it takes pattern break. That's what I think
is we're so busy playing the busy game that we
all just keep going and we're you know, it takes
somebody to create a pattern break in your mind that
you start to look and say, wow, I never realized
there might be a different way. Why don't we maybe

(14:19):
explore that a little bit further? Yeah, And I think
that's what's fun for us to start to create those
pattern breaks in people's minds that maybe legacy systems, you know,
with technology and with you know, education and knowledge and
things that we know today that you know, why are
we not taking a look into asking questions on every

(14:40):
which system, Yes, how we can make it better in
our alignment?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Absolutely, And if you're wondering who I have in my
studio today, you are listening to Eric Tippetts who just spoke,
who is the co founder of Nasco, a realigning technology
that helps artists get more money energy in the the
place that they that deserves it really and then uh,

(15:04):
the beautiful inside and out Jafar Jackson, who is my
very special guest today. Uh, son of Jermaine Jackson, second
youngest son. I was corrected by Jackson source and uh,
the nephew of our King of Pop, Michael Jackson. And
we're going to go to play a little bit of
where I first met Jaffar and where Eric got on

(15:29):
stage and finally got me to understand uh and and
come out of my cryptic currency into crypto currency, and
a little bit of Jaffar's introduction.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Thanks John Lynch means a lot. I'm very thankful and
happy to be part of this. Yeah, it's next fall.
I'm gonna say this.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
Call hurka.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
M h m h.

Speaker 8 (16:25):
Crowding room.

Speaker 9 (16:28):
I'm not a move of.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
Conversation, not being in unless she's a final Toasi, even
though I know that she's a follow that's.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
All to her own orders.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
She said, it's nothing you can do to keep on
from here, and they can take that so much tell
her that you're.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Healing an abrupt Sorry for that abrupt ending. But if
we played anymore, I'd get complaints that I wasn't talking
to you, and they could watch that later. So I
did want to give you a taste of that voice.
So how do you write music? I mean you're a
songwriter too. How does that happened for you?

Speaker 5 (17:16):
When writing? Yeah, I usually start at the piano. I
learned how to play the piano to write. So I
love just sitting down, okay, yeah, and just whatever comes
to my mind, Just play chords and then come up
with melodies and then whatever I'm feeling that day, figure
out the subject and start writing. Yeah, I usually start.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Now, you're so old, right? Your sarcasm is another service
I offer. He's like, what, how young are you?

Speaker 5 (17:47):
Twenty two?

Speaker 3 (17:48):
So people will say, you know, how can you write?
You haven't really even lived right that friends, although you
do look younger than twenty two. I have to say
I thought you were like fourteen.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Eighteen eighteen, sweet eighteen.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
There, you're good. So, so what you're feeling that day?
So what would you say? Your genre of writing is.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
As far as topics.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
I love telling stories, so it could be even fictional
or be stories that I've experienced growing up to the
relationships that we are. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Have you fallen in love yet?

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah yeah. Two and a half years, two and a
half years. All the fans, all the women in the
fan audience. That's okay, he's only twenty two. You never know, right.
Can we talk about where your name is? Her name
is Maddie, Maddie, and how did you meet Maddie?

Speaker 5 (18:52):
I met her through a producer because she does music.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
As well, she's a singer. Yeah, yeah, cool. Have you
tried to collaborate anything, Not yet.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
We've We've just we met through the producer and then
she does her own thing. I do my own thing. Okay,
I'm sure one day.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
It might it might have. Yeah, I'm not even going there.
So let's go back to the day that you met Eric.
So how did that happen? So your father, I'm sure
you know seeing the potential he has connections, right, he's
where he was married to Barry Gordie's daughter, right, and

(19:31):
so that relationship and and all of the connections. How
how did this happen?

Speaker 6 (19:38):
It was actually through a girl that we one of
my partners had met and huge in the social impact
world and something yep, and that's something that Nasco we're
super passionate about. And she said, you know, in the
in the Musician Arena, I think this would be a

(20:00):
great place if you're about social impact. I'd like to
connect you up with somebody that that's something that they're
passionate about. And so we actually met had lunch and
it was really a very informal of just you know,
talking about what Jafar is up to, what Jimmy and
the producers, and then what we're up to. And it

(20:22):
was kind of a funny thing. We had six of
us where we're sitting on this side, Jafar and Jimmy
and and Devine Stevens, and so I'm sitting here across
from Jafar, and we started getting into travel and we're
talking about our travel about over to Europe in Nice
and cons and all these places. But it was for me,

(20:45):
it was an immediate connection on just he was living
a bigger life, he had bigger dreams, he had loved
to travel. Those are things that I love to do.
I love to go into society's I love to you know,
when I go travel, I don't go try to find
more Americans. I try to go get locals, and I
try to just inject myself into that culture. And so

(21:09):
we had some really good conversations about that, and then
I learned to he's a golfer. I'm a huge golfer,
and so we got out there and played, well, I'll.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Travel with you, but we ain't doing golf. I'm a
great turf hacker. It's horrible, but anyways, So so it's
a relationship that wasn't even about business, is what is
what I'm hearing for me?

Speaker 6 (21:32):
It wasn't. It was getting to you know, I've come
to the point in my life that I only work
with people that I like and that I want to
do business with and that are bringing something in a
positive way. If you're a negative person, you wanted gossip
and drama, I'm just I don't even know the time
for you.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah. Yeah, Well that's why we connected is because of
Cheryl Snap Connor, Piece and Piece. I love you, you know. Yeah, right,
so we're creating this band with the planetary positive people.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
It's it's energy, right. I think if you you can
fill somebody's energy, somebody told me one day. I was
getting onto a plane. I'm about to sit down, and
lady goes, I see colors coming off you, and I'm thinking,
oh my god, that calls the smokes and crazy suf.
But she was this chakra, this Reichy chakra, and we're

(22:26):
sitting there and she she gets into Everybody has an
energy that goes out about eight feet. You ever wondered
why you walk into a room and somebody goes, Wow,
I like I like that person, Or why does somebody
go I don't really like that person. I'm not going
to talk to him. How can you say that you
haven't even talked to him? And I felt, like, you know,

(22:48):
connecting and sitting down and having lunch, there was an
immediate connection of Hey, there's something bigger that we're going
to do together.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
That's so beautiful, beautiful. You felt that too. So what
is it that you want to do with your music?

Speaker 5 (23:02):
I want to tell amazing stories and entertain people through
my music, bring people together and bring awareness to things
that are going on around the world, poverty and starvation,
and just help as many people as I can.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
And that, Yeah, yeah, what what makes you happy?

Speaker 3 (23:23):
When do you feel happy? What are you doing? What
are you seeing?

Speaker 5 (23:27):
I feel happy when I travel, I feel happy when
I write music and when I perform.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
You're in that that that energy zone.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, that's vibrating. Yeah, that's that's beautiful. That's obvious, right,
I feel it from here.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Or a picture, take it you take and I had
like gold and purple and stuff. So yeah, they did
see a little dark blue by my ears because they
said dark blue is I'm audio clariant. I hear the
voice of that whatever it is. But there's little white
pieces and I go, what's that mean? They go, well,
you don't always listen.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Bust it, bust it.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, so Eric, you're tokenizing. So for those of you
who don't understand that, why don't you explain using Jaffar
as an example.

Speaker 6 (24:26):
Absolutely. So, nasco is a decentralized platform, and so what
that means is the people in our whole community, they
provide the power. So if people think about a website,
a website needs to be powered by hosting, and that's centralized.
It's host Gator, it's go Daddy, it's whatever you use

(24:47):
is hosting. So in this platform, we can create assets
and so a token is just purely an acid. It's
something where it's customized and it's u it's something that
has a finite number to it, and it's something that
is used on the network. And so a token makes

(25:08):
it to where people when they get a token, you
can even equate it to, you know, an American Airlines
loyalty point. So think of a loyalty delta or it
will do Delta Delta Love Delta Delta loyalty point. It'd
be a loyalty token.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
The only difference is you don't own those Delta loyalty points.
They do. They just so you know, they go away
at the end of the year, or if they want
to change something, you know, you just have to go
with it. Right Where with Jafar and his Juicy token,
he owns those, but when somebody does some let's say
on his album, traditionally he would need to go to

(25:50):
a record label. Correct, they would upfront him the money
and basically from that point they own him. They own
his name, they own all of the rights to him.
So he goes and creates an album, he might want
to go this way creatively, and they say no, no, Now
you know, it's too much like Michael that's too much
like that guy, or that's too much like doesn't matter.

(26:11):
They control it and so then it comes out and
now you've got all of the you know, middleman, a producer,
all of the editors, man, all the people that I
have a piece of it. By the time it gets
back to Jafar and timing wise, six months a year later,

(26:31):
when he gets paid, it's peanuts. It's nothing. And so
it's very hard for an artist to survive unless you've
just you know, come out of the gate and sold
millions and millions and millions of albums. So we wanted
to create something. Jafar is the content creator, so let's
let's keep him in control of that and where he

(26:52):
wants to take the album. If if if we weren't
in alignment, you know, it wasn't the right fit. I
feel like giving him total control, let him manage that
and that creative process. But now we go directly to
the community to raise the funds like a crowdfunding that

(27:13):
basically he gets to the money upfront to do the album,
totally be in control. And these people that hold his tokens.
Now when the album's launched, they get first access. They
also can use those tokens. So we've been talking about
custom experiences. So for instance, a lot of people would
love to go into the studio and watch Jafar, you know,

(27:36):
perform and record Hurricane. Yeah, hey, how cool would that
be saying you're watching them? So let's say that's five
hundred juicy tokens to do that. And so those tokens
they got up front at a discounted rate, they now
can use those for for the purchase these experiences, VIP events,
ring tones, all those things that Jafar they kind of

(28:00):
pre bought. That that that Javar now can use to
uh to provide to them experiences that they.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Can use those. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah. So it's it's it's energy, it's it's a it's
a representative of energy of support on one side right
there with the crowdfunding side of it, we believe in you,
we love your music, we want to see what's next,
we want to hear what hear what's next, and we
want to spend time with you. And then you are rewarding.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
That loyalty with first access. Did I understand that one
hundred percent?

Speaker 6 (28:35):
And that and that loyalty it also he can Jafar
can say hey, share my music, and I'd like to
give you another token, like it's a It's an ecosystem
that bridges the gap between an artist and his community
without the middleman middleman sitting there going, hey, you can't
talk to them, we own them. You've got to go

(28:56):
through me. Right now, the artists can go directly to
the unity and say hey, I'm going coming out with
my album. They say, I love, I want to be
a part of your album. I want to buy your tokens.
Hold your tokens. That's your money to go and do
the album. Now, when you're ready to come out with
the album, I can use the tokens, get the album.
I can use the tokens for future services. So it's this,

(29:19):
it's this cyclical environment that makes it to where they
are loyalty. They're they're incentivized to go share his music
and to care about him all the way through his journey.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Beautiful. So your reactions to all that, I mean, you're
nodding and you're smiling, so obviously you like and you
signed up for it, so so, but your side, your
side of the story.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
I'm very excited because it also creates a bond between
myself and the fans the community. With these experiences that
I will create, they get to come to the stay.
I won't say all of them. Yeah, have a lot
of ideas. Yeah, I'm sure I have some great ideas

(30:05):
for experiences that they'll they'll love. So I'm very excited
to have that bond and just all be together and
very look. I look forward to that.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Yeah, beautiful, beautiful. How do you feel about kind of
losing your privacy. I mean that's something that all artists
have to it's part of the part of the terrain.
Because you seem you don't quite seem like me, who's
very shy. Remember the sarcasm, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(30:37):
So so you seem like, you know, more introvert.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
And I don't mean a shy person. Introverts get energy
from being on their own, whereas extroverts get it from
being with a lot of people. So you seem more introverted.
And and this venture now, I mean your your uncle
also seemed comfortable and uncomfortable with it.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
How do you feel about all of that.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
I've always liked being having time alone to go on.
I like going to hide in the mountains and just
sitting meditating. I love meditating I read a lot of
books and I just love Did you read mine?

Speaker 10 (31:14):
Yet?

Speaker 11 (31:15):
Not yet answer you're supposed to say, yes, it's on
my list.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
I love learning, so I do that as much as
I can. But I also love being around family, so
I don't I'm not always alone. I have a small
group of people I trust and because in this world
you have to be careful. But if people are trying
to take advantage of you or and I've growing up,

(31:50):
my family has taught me that because they've seen it all.
So I have a pretty good eye for that. And
I'm just I'm happy that I'm surrounded by people that
I can trust.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Awesome. That's awesome, And I'm getting the signal from my

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Everywhere on iHeartRadio. And today we have two very special, wonderful,
high vibrating energy people in my studio. I have Eric
if It's the co founder of Nasgow, who is tokenizing
some fabulous artists. And the number one artist right now
is also I am his I don't know I'm a

(34:13):
number one fan because you got some serious fans, but
I'm definitely at the top in that in that crowd.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Jaffar Jackson, the second youngest son of the amazing Jermaine Jackson,
who on his own is a wonderful artist and very
very wonderful guide for his son, and the nephew of
Michael Jackson, King of Pop.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
So Jaffar, who would you say influenced your music? Besides
your obvious, your uncle and your dad? Who else sort
of do you love listening to?

Speaker 5 (34:49):
I grew up listening to a lot of Stevie, Wonder,
Earthwinn and Fire, Johnny Mathis, Sam Cook, a lot of
Motown music, and today's artists I listened at Bruno, Mars, Childish, Gambino, Pharrell,

(35:11):
Kanye West. There's a lot of artists that now like
listening to I listened to a lot of music, a
lot of film scores. I love that.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, yeah, the bigness of that yeah, cinematic.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah. So do you have, like I talk about in
the book that you're going to read, a voice that
sometimes criticizes us or keeps us sort of down, or
keeps us doubting ourselves. Do you have that critical voice
in your head? And how do you deal with it?

Speaker 5 (35:38):
Critical voice? Well, when it comes to you saying with music,
with anything, with anything.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Like let's say you wake up and or a deal
that you thought was going to go through somebody passed on,
or you know, a fan says something really mean or something,
or your dad's a little more perfectionistic than you want
to them to be about something that you had had
just performed. In those cases, how do you deal with

(36:08):
that voice that says, see, you know you're really not
all that, or you know you're.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Not as good as you think you are, or you're
not as good as somebody who says you're that voice?

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Do you have that voice?

Speaker 5 (36:21):
I have a voice, But I always I can't stop
believing in yourself. So I always just sit down if
I'm stressed or overwhelmed, to sit down and close my eyes,
meditate and deal with my own thoughts, and just that
calms me down.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
I did not pay him to say that. By the way, beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
What what what do people uh MSU about you? That
is not true? So MSU is making chataki up university?
So what what assumptions.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Do people make about you that are not true?

Speaker 5 (37:03):
That's a good question, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I like that. It's like stump me.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Yeah, I'm known for that.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
I don't mean to stump you. You should see my
interview with John Travolta. It's pretty funny.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
I'd say, well, would has to be with music and
my voice singing. It's very relatable to my family, in
particular my uncle Michael. They say, try and sound like
too much, sound like him or other family members. But
if you listen to all my cousins or all my

(37:38):
we all have a similar tone. So there's no running
away from that. When we sing. It's just it's a
gift and that we've all embraced and it's in it's
within the family. So and I've always been told to
just to never get on yourself about it and to
take control of it and share a gift with the world.

(38:02):
If you feel happy, if it makes you happy, share it.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
I just got chills, did you get it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (38:07):
That might have been a good question, but that was
a better answer absolutely.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
So what what are if you had three wishes? What
would they be?

Speaker 5 (38:19):
Three wishes?

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, you're like miss universe questions now since I.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
Was three wishes? One that's hard, that's really hard. Okay.
One wish I'd say for for the whole world to

(38:45):
be more aware of things that are going on as
far as, like I said earlier, starvation, poverty, and to
everyone get together and help each other. And for my
music too, really connect with people and to make them

(39:05):
happy and interested and entertain them have fun.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
One more, Yeah, you get one more.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
I have a thousand wishes.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
That's a good one. Yes, yes, so you will, will
let you have that one.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
And to always, i'd say, for myself, just to it's
hard to pick one more, two because to always be
healthy and happy.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yes, that's that's great.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
I love it. I love it too, Yes, I love
it too. So let's go back to social impact. Eric, Well,
you mentioned that that's something you both want have in common.

Speaker 6 (39:49):
Ye, passionate. Yeah, we were just I just went to
the New York Stock Exchange and we were on there
and then in the morning and then in the afternoon
we went to the Global Social Impact Summit at the
UN United Nations Buildings and talking about how do These

(40:12):
were three hundred of the top social impact representatives from
the media, from you know, movements, missions around the world
and everybody discussing how to raise the level of consciousness
of awareness of social impact. And we mentioned, you know,

(40:34):
you've got influencers in the world, that the more power
you have, the more responsibility you have. And that's the
that's you know, something I get excited about and I
get kind of bummed about of how some people are
using that power and it can be abusing that power,
and there's so much good they could do. And so

(40:56):
we were discussing that our blockchain platform and I it
produced it. I won't get all techy on you guys,
but it has built into the code that every seventeen
minutes it donates to a charity. So we actually from
the very beginning, you can't once you build your code,
it's locked, that's what it is. And so we built

(41:18):
that from the beginning just because that's you know, a
passion of ours and so it's fun with Youafar when
we start talking about you know, what things do you
want to do when you token ize, when you have control,
when you can make a difference. And it was really
a funny thing. I didn't lead it anywhere. I just
kind of asked the question and to have him lead

(41:41):
it to I want to help more people. Yes, with
my token. I want to make it to where I
can connect to my audience, but I want to help
more people.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
In the world.

Speaker 6 (41:49):
That was like, oh man, we got it.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
This is like this is a connection totally.

Speaker 6 (41:54):
And so we hugged after that and I was like, okay, man,
I love you, but I this is through his Juicic
token and being on our blockchain. It's something that he
now has the ability to donate every seventeen minutes with
his token, And so.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
For me, this is this is so much.

Speaker 6 (42:17):
Yeah, it's a win win win suncessary, so much bigger
than just hey, you know, we're going to create an album.
It's this is creating a movement, it's creating a mission
that we're all part of it. Yeah, it's it's serving
the world. It's serving the world, not only in helping
with hunger and poverty, but also in serving them with

(42:39):
experiences and emotions and connections with each other.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Absolutely, that is so off. So both of you get
Doctor Marissa's Beneficial Presence on the Planet award. Wow, not
all of my guests get that, and we are at
the end of the show. I'm going to get the
signal in a second. First, I forgot to make your
wishes come true. So just close your eyes for a second,
take a deep breath in through your nose and releasing

(43:06):
through the mouth, and open your eyes. So all your
wishes are just came true and they're all in the
vortex and you're going to just see them unfold as
we as we move on through your life and ours.
Who are you and what are you most grateful for?
That's a question that I ask all my guests at
the end, So we'll start with you, Eric, Who and
what are you most grateful for?

Speaker 6 (43:28):
My parents and I get to meet that definitely, and
I hope you saw you know their reflection. I think
everybody grows up with the window, and your parents, you know,
paint that window a lot of experiences. They're amazing people.
They taught me to dream big and always believe in
myself and read you know you asked earlier, does your

(43:52):
mind get in the way you And I'll tell all
your listeners you have to invest in yourself. If you
don't nourish your reign with positive and abundant and things
that you want, and you're just constantly in the now
of all the negative, it's just it's never gonna happen
for you. Yeah, and so that's a that's a major thing.

(44:14):
My parents bleed to me. They they taught me to
educate myself and best to myself and die and dream big,
dream big, start small.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Yeah. Yeah, beautiful too far.

Speaker 5 (44:25):
I also have to say the same my family, my parents,
they've been there through everything. WHENNY help with music or
social things and anything that comes to mind, They've always
been there and guided me, uh, the right way.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
That's beautify.

Speaker 5 (44:46):
Thankful for that.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 6 (44:48):
They were there to spank you when you were.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
Definitely well.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I am just so grateful to have both of you
here that it's my number one gratitude right now. I'm
so grateful that technology will capture this, will replay it
on my CNBC channel, and then we'll be on YouTube
for everyone to enjoy. I wish you the best, Thank you,
most joy, peace and prosperity ever, limitless abundance, and just

(45:18):
to have that love for who you are and who
you are and how you're doing it and through your song.
I do wish that for you.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
Thank you so much, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
All right, so much. That's it. Deefard Jackson and Eric
Tippetts on my show, and they're gonna just sit there
for a second while I close out. Welcome to my
balance bar, which is how I want you to balance
a little bit more with me. I have two Asian
Oprah giveaways today.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
The first is tickets, free tickets, and wow, every time
I do throw Back Thursday, I'm like, I almost wish
I could do it every or Yeah, so watching what

(46:14):
I predicted for him, what I wished for him too far,
uh for.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Like, look, he's.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
He's Michael in the biopic that everybody is uh really
looking forward to.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
And and the fact.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
That he is working like crazy to make this this feature,
you know, Buddy's uncle and like not just singing, dancing,
speaking as his uncle. That's a giant, giant project that

(47:08):
I'm almost positive that that wasn't.

Speaker 12 (47:12):
In the works when we spoke. When I interviewed him.
He was literally just starting seriously singing and not aspiring
to the golf anymore. I'm sure he still plays.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Actually met his cousin at an event that I was
seeing at and you know now, of course the accesses.
I didn't even try to contact him because between his
working very hard and diligently on his role as well,

(47:53):
I'm sure Lionsgate has some pretty strict as his cousin said,
strict what is it called features on access? But if
he actually does end up hearing this, I did tell
his cousin as well, you know, please please please let

(48:14):
him know how much I continue to be one of
his number one fans and I'm so so delighted that
he has continued and continues to fulfill his dreams and
hopes and desires as everyone can. I'm still holding that belief.

(48:37):
I kinda I'm grateful myself. Let's do breakfast. I do
breakfast at the end of the show, and said at
the beginning when we do throwback Thursdays, because I want
to make sure that you see the entire interview that
is on Throwback Thursday. So wow, I'm like, I'm getting

(48:59):
a emotional myself because I've been doing this a long time,
and I'm really really grateful that I've had the privilege
and the honor and the fortune and the access to
incredible people and Jaafar Jackson just the way that when

(49:26):
we first met out of the red carpet, there was this,
you know, that feeling and we connected there and thanks
to him and Eric being able to interview him and
to have that just fun conversation. So if you missed it,
that's okay. As I said at the end, I didn't

(49:49):
know I would still be doing this back then. That
was twenty seventeen, So what's.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
That eight years ago? Lucky ate.

Speaker 4 (49:59):
That I'm still doing this and just watching myself in action.
And I'll save that for the bottom of the bud.
But I want you to join me now to have
breakfast top of the bun of my gratitude sandwich is
what am I grateful for outside of myself, And then

(50:20):
before bed tonight, I want you to do the appreciation
and gratitude inside of yourself. What do you like about yourself?
And that's how I start every weekday morning. I was
only on once a week that at that time I
was broadcasting out of the Sunseic Hour Studios. With UBN,
and then it would go to my NBC news radio

(50:43):
channel CACAA, the station that leaves no listener behind home
to the Asian Oprah number and talking the ie thank
you very much, and now I'm every weekday. Morning started
right at the beginning of COVID. I got a call

(51:04):
from my station owner, Fred Lundgren out in Texas and
he said, morning host is retiring. Do you want the
morning show? And I'm like, are you kidding me? Of
course I would love it, And so I did a
little adjustment, you know, host, producer, once a week, and

(51:26):
I was a Drivetime. I went from Tuesday mornings to
drive Time, which is a nice coveted spot on Fridays,
and then going for one show all week to five
shows a week is a little bit of a jump.
So that was the adjustment. I wanted to quit every day,

(51:46):
let's just go back to once a week. This is
like too much work. But I'm really grateful that I
continued that throughout since I guess that was what twenty nineteen,
twenty twenty, So it's been five years of full time
Monday through Friday, seven hundred and ten consecutive weeks, one thousand,

(52:06):
five hundred and thirty three podcast shows and on my
YouTube TV channel Live every weekday morning at nine am
Pacific time and four point two million impressions later here
and then going over to the other major platforms NBC
News Radio channel CACAA, where I'm back up my eight

(52:31):
am drive time work slot that I love as well,
so I can get at you before you get to work,
so that I can encourage you to have the best
day ever by having breakfast with me and then not
talking about headlines at all, which gives you the four

(52:53):
A A anxious, afraid, angry, and aggravated. But yeah, that's
been a while, thirteen and a half years. They said
I wouldn't last year, So I'm grateful for that. I'm
grateful that my guest, Jaffar Jackson's desires are manifesting, and

(53:14):
I told him his wishes were coming true, and uh, hello.

Speaker 13 (53:18):
I'm not going to take credit or maybe just a
little bit, maybe a one percent, but I'm so delayed.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
Just what you know, to be able to listen to
that interview, watch that interview. I appreciate that I have
eighty eight percent of the time lost my critical voice
that I used to not be able to watch my
old interviews because I was so hard on myself and

(53:51):
so you know, oh, you shouldn't have said that, or
you should have said this, or you forgot about that,
and ooh, you know that was a cringe moment and
da da da, and that was made it very difficult
to watch any of my past shows to present day
hashtag throwback Thursday series and getting to watch myself this

(54:13):
whole interview with Jafar Jackson, which by the way, is
on my YouTube TV channel. It is i think one
of the top ten, if not the top twenty watched
of my what eighteen hundred videos the show videos or
what fifteen hundred and then I've got my Red Carpet

(54:35):
playlist with interviews on the carpet Halle Berry, Jon Travolta,
and I've got you know, singing videos and nature videos
and dolphin videos. So on the channel.

Speaker 14 (54:49):
Yeah, his interview is I could probably check that right now,
no focus, I'll check that later and you're back to you.
But it's just really really delightful to you know, watch first,
I'm not shitting on myself when I'm watching, and I'm
actually going that was.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
A good question. And when he said that was a
good question. It was like I can say that was
a good question and sort of like, oh, that I
guess that's me. It looks like me, sounds like me.

Speaker 7 (55:22):
And actually, you know, instead of criticizing myself, giving myself
a yay you, which I want y'all to do more often,
because we're so hard on ourselves.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
We're so you know, our own worst critic. I want
you to be your best friend and your biggest fan,
because that is how you get to claim your birthright
of happiness eighty eight percent of the time. So many
of us, you know, mental health is it's great that
we're talking about it, but there still is a little

(55:59):
tendency to look outside of ourselves for that approval that
ada boy, And I'll tell you there is nothing more
powerful for yourself than to choose to like yourself eighty
eight percent of the time. And when you do that

(56:20):
allows you to live a life that is beyond your
wildest dreams, that is going up, hashtag up, hashtag unlimited possibilities.

Speaker 6 (56:32):
So I.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
Truly am grateful for the show, for my interviews, for
the great guests like Shaffar Jackson and Eric Tippetts, for
the access that I have the reputation I have not
talking about headlines but talking about heartlines. What else?

Speaker 15 (57:00):
I am grateful that. Oh, it's just so much to
be grateful for. I'm grateful. I got a call from
my daughter. She's coming down for an interview, so I
get to see her. I'm grateful that don't tell what
they don't watch the show, but I got them.

Speaker 5 (57:22):
You know, this is what caught.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
What are the chances of that? How do you go
shopping Christmas? Shopping to get them something? And I see
a Kate Spade necklace and their initial necklaces and there's only.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Two of them there, and guess what they were?

Speaker 4 (57:42):
They were my daughter ce Chloe and s Sarah. Only
two necklaces.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
So I love the magic in my life.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
Last gratitude turn inwards or appreciation.

Speaker 16 (57:56):
I appreciate. I appreciate my ability to love my life.
I live in gratitude. I live in appreciation, and the
more I do it, the more great things happen. And
