god, terrible guests about about you. Man. Uh but Darvill, you're
good though, Yeah, I'm goodbrother. Alright, alright, alright,
now on to the other lovely sideof the show. This young lady is
(05:34):
doing some amazing things right here inour city in Cleveland, and she's getting
ready to host one of the biggestnetworking events that is catered to cutting the
red tape for entrepreneurs, bringing resourcesdirectly to the entrepreneurs. Nope, most
time, as entrepreneurs, and youknow this two Coco and Darvo, sometimes
(05:58):
we have to go through so muchtape just to get to the dollar,
just to get to the resource.Well, this particular woman has brilliantly made
it easy. She has cut thered tape to bring those resources that most
entrepreneurs try to connect with but theycan't get to. She's cut the red
tape to bring those resources directly theentrepreneurs and by way of Power Brand Beyond
(06:24):
the Beyond the Algorithm conference that's beinghosted this week, and yours truly will
be hosting the Visionary Moment as well, which will feature our guests today,
none other than Sharta Carthon, who'sin. Let's go. I am so
happy to be here you guys.I'm excited Lord Jesus and my decidy and
(06:47):
I have some amazing news for youall. Break right here. I'm gonna
break you right here. I'm gonnabreak you right here. Well, Jeff,
you already know what just happened.But the reason I'm doing Power Brand
is because, again, I haveworked with celebrities, I have worked with
artists, I have worked with entrepreneurs, and the number one issue that we
(07:11):
face is cash flow. And soyou know the quote, I'm not just
the president, I'm a client.Actually that's that's no truer words ever spoken,
because I pretty much did. Startedout this conference in Cleveland about a
year ago, and I got rejected. I literally counted five thousand, one
hundred and thirty five times. That'show many rejections that I got. That's
(07:38):
how many knows I got and soI got down to the point where I
didn't even think this conference was gonnahappen. Just truth be told, because
I'm just like, Okay, I'mbrand new, nobody knows me. I
have a heart for the people andentrepreneurs, but it may not happen.
And I am so happy to reportthat within the last forty eight hours by
myself completely raised as having thousand dollarscongratulations and you deserve colations type of world
(08:09):
records. Yeah yeah, but Ijust but I believe. And so at
the conference, we have people comingall from all across the nation just to
give entrepreneurs the real scoop and wherethe money is. Because everyone knows after
the pandemic, there was so manylayoffs that people were so afraid to go
(08:33):
back into corporate They really didn't wantto take another leap into a place where
you know, they weren't going tobe successful. And so a lot of
people needed resources in order to understandwhat they were doing. And so I'm
bringing in the greatest finance companies,marketers, branders, all the types of
people just so that these entrepreneurs canfind out how to get to the money
(08:54):
and how to market themselves. Theright way. So I'm excited and that's
that's dope. And you said yourejected five one hundred thirties five thousand five.
Yeah, but almost sure. Solet me ask you a question.
And I don't want to poke thebear, but you know, I got
to have you received any local support? It was five okay? All right?
(09:20):
So the five thousand included these areorganizations and people that were outside of
outside of the Cleveland area. Thesewere these were local and national organizations.
And I'm talking about things granting organizations, uh, non profit organizations, just
all types of people, even regularum business people who have money. They
(09:45):
was like, girl, no,you get on my face. You know
what I'm saying. But wow,yeah, but but every it's you don't
get a whole bunch of those.So in the business and then entertainment business,
if you get fifty rejections, youdon't get one yet. So there
were absolute movie organizations like you know, jump Start, score, h SBA,
(10:05):
the you know, state government.They said, we ain't gonna get
you no money, but how canwe put our name behind what you're doing
so that people can understand that,you know, we we believe in you
know, where you're getting ready togo. So um, the only thing
I gotta say is is just like, don't give up. I mean,
and don't give up. You canbe at the bottom of the nights and
(10:26):
not have a dollar in your pocket, and God can really like turn it
around where people will really see thatyou're not gonna quit and make eleven K
in forty eight hours if you know, if you gotta you know, if
you got that tenacity and mont quit. So I'm gonn excited. I'm excited
for you. I know, wegot to go to break here. What
we got about a minute or soleft, Darbill, about two minutes.
(10:50):
Okay, So, so shartas,why did you come up with this name
this conference? Beyond the algorithm?Break that down for us? Absolutely,
I came up with that name specificallybecause I believe a lot of entrepreneurs and
artists and creatives are on social media, and that's honestly where we get our
money from. That's where we're connectingwith our audiences. Really, brick and
(11:13):
mortar is dead. And so thething is if we're on social media,
you know, and that's what's controllingthe narrative, and we're not getting to
the people that we need to getto because they control the algorithm. It's
just like we almost have to goback to the day of pilgrimage, back
to the basics where we're actually havingdirect relationships with people picking up the phone,
(11:33):
talking to people calling, you know, one on ones with people you
know. And so that's why Icalled it beyond the Algorithm, and that's
why you know this this concert ishappening the way it is wonderful, wonderful.
Listen. I'm so proud of youand the work you're doing. Also,
you're my business manager. Most peopledon't know that. You're definitely helping
(11:58):

go talk a little bit more aboutthat and we're gonna bring you back after
the break. Coco Dervo. Iknow y'all don't have the actual bio,

(13:28):
Shreeta Carton or with us representing thevisionary I'm sorry of power brand Uh
the Beyond the Algorithm conference. Soum again, Serena, we appreciate what
you're doing here in the city.Um, but Coco, I said,
I think you said you had aquestion for oh go there, you mire
(13:54):
of cocoa. The cocoa disappeared?Is she in the major? Now she
here? She just muted, Okay, go ahead, dart yeah something yeah.
So. Um, Obviously, likeyou said, social media is very
important and it's the way that wecan reach out, you know, to
(14:16):
to our audience. So if there'ssomeone who's listening who's starting from scratch,
what's one or two things that youwould recommend for them to do? That
is a great question. The numberone thing that I recommend them to do
is get focused. Right with socialmedia, there's so many attractive distractions that
we have that you know, sometimeswhen you get in a place where you're
(14:39):
desperate for money, you just absolutelydo anything just to get it, versus
somebody who's really focused and really understandlike, Okay, this is the goal
that I have, this is whatI'm going for. Definitely, get focused
on what you want. The nextthing I would say is have relationships for
people, um, Like in thisseason, you know, especially the trust
(15:01):
and so many scams going on onthe internet, you really have to you
really have to establish some type ofrelationship with people. People have to know
like and trust you in order todo business. With you, and the
next thing I would say is getconnected, like like, tell people your
story, let them know who youare and what you're really trying to accomplish.
(15:24):
And stay consistent, because if you'reconsistent and people know that they can
count on you to do that onething and you're gonna do it regardless if
they're helping you or not, peoplewill buy into the vision that you have.
Absolutely, absolutely, And I've watchedyour media platform just grow, like
(15:45):
you know, I was talking aboutit. I think we talked about this
a couple weeks ago, Darvie,about these blue checks and all these people
got these blue checks. Hey guys, I'm back and I'm gonna time in.
The blue checks now have watered downthe celebrity status, just like social
media watered down real stars. Yeah, yeah, I say, I don't
(16:07):
want to be part of a clubthat everybody can be a part of.
Yeah. Well I was saying thatto say that too, But I was
saying that to say, like,Sharida is an actual person who's been on
national platforms, right, so she'searned the blue check. She's been on
You've been on CNN, what you'vebeen on a VH one h one you've
(16:30):
been over Brown right, yes,NBC. Yeah, you've been on all
those major platforms, correct, yeah, he said, And you're part of
the forts creatives now right, Yes, I am a part of Ford the
Folk now yeah. Yeah, yeah, So it's legitimate. Yeah, she's
the real deal. And so whenyou talk about with this like you were
(16:52):
talking about earlier, Sharida, aboutthe scamming and how these people sometimes,
you know, it is really hardto really build a legitimate platform now on
these social media platform because you don'tknow what you're getting as far as real
followers that content. You know,it just be crazy. And so now
(17:14):
what you've done is or what you'redoing is now you're showing the creatives how
to legitimately build their platforms through socialmedia and transform that to transfer that energy
or that platform into dollars that makesense. And that's what you've been doing,
you know what I'm saying. Soyou are the truth, you are,
(17:37):
You are your own bootprint to thatsuccess. I've seen it. Everybody
that knows you've seen it, sowe know you the real deal. But
go ahead, Cocoa, no,no, no, sorry for the technical
difficulties earlier. Actually, Darbiall askedthe question pretty much that I was going
to ask, Okay, but Iwas going to ask her coming from a
(18:00):
nonprofit perspective, because I have anonprofit organization about to do an event on
May twenty seventh honoring women who havelupus, and I've found it that when
I did the event five years ago, getting sponsors was a no brainer.
I mean, I don't know ifit was because of me being able to
(18:21):
walk in and say from Tyler Perryor whatever, but because of all the
scamming and all the people doing thingsunderhanded, not taking the money and using
it, Like, how do youconvince people even you know, someone like
me who goes like you can findme, honey, you can just google
me and find me on the stagesomewhere. But people are so leary now
because of all the scamming and peopleusing this money for buying homes and Bentleys
(18:45):
and stuff. That is an amazingquestion. So here's the thing is that,
I mean, I'm just going tospeak on the celebrity side. There
have been scammers who have been successfulin impersonating, right, So yeah,
yeah, right, And so it'sjust like unless I literally have your telephone
(19:08):
number and I know personally, andI can personally pick up that telephone,
that that phone and call you directly. I'm gonna be skeptical, and you're
like, I'm here, I'm inthe flesh. And they're even now,
I know, um, event planners, even celebrities that have been doing events
for a very long time, andthey're still question even now. And even
(19:30):
the dollars are one lower and lowerand lower and so um. So it's
just like, even if you're acelebrity, you're actually targeted more just because
you can be impersonated quicker. Ifthat makes it definitely. I think the
biggest delimma we have now is notjust a I It's just that I don't
(19:51):
know how many of my colleagues havehad to put out, you know,
messages and videos because somebody went insomebody's d I'm saying they were this particular
celebrity and said I needed help.You know, I'm about to get kicked
out with my kids and or somethinglike the celebrity stay, I'm trying to
raise money for this family, andpeople find out that's not even the celebrity.
(20:15):
I know that that Tyrese just wentthrough that, uh you know,
and it's like these these scammers,and the thing the problem is as we
as public figures, ay, Ican get our voices, that's easy,
Hey, I can get takes onlythirty seconds of our voice. Yeah.
They call people or show up andsay leave a whole voice text on I
(20:38):
g and say, hey, thisis Kake Brown and I'm raising money to
su Sunsets. You can catch afteryour donation and come to findance a whole
scam. Wow, that's just ohyeah, Oh, I'm sorry, I'm
I'm thinking about Darby. You gottaedit this show. I was just gonna
(21:00):
say. I think that that iswhy the power of actual physical video is
important, and it is tapes incrazy ways, because you can't impersonate someone
who's unless you're cloning. I don'tknow about all that, but I'm just
saying the physical video and people knowingand being attached you like, and they
(21:23):
can buy other people being able tovouch for you as well. And so
again, even me raising eleven Kover two days, there were still people
who message me and said, hey, Shrida, it's just you, let
me call you, let me FaceTimeyou. Just to bearside of this and
one I mean, and I've beendoing power brand consistently for you know,
(21:47):
in Cleveland for one year, butin other locations for a very long time,
you know, you know, sopeople know me. Even with the
blue check, people still was justlike, are you scamming? So yeah,
absolutely, Well listen, I'm gonnacome right a Shrita, don't go
anywhere. We'll be right back withmore to Jeff Brown Show. Uh,
because I want you to tap alittle bit, talk about a little bit
(22:08):

I'll just tell you all about iton Frock. Okay, but you know,
(26:22):
so Seria, don't go there wherehang out with us. Thank you
again for us stopping about, butdon't gonna where, but listen, Hey,
y'all, I just got to talkabout a few things. Okay,
UM, this Jamie Fox situation.UM, I'm glad that Jamie is recovering
according to these reports. I justthink that the way it was handled listening.
(26:44):
I don't care about what condition hehas, that's his business. But
the article that came out with hisdaughter and how she responded about media pushing
all these different rumors and things likethat, I thought that I thought it
was I understand from her standpoint,but I think that situation was just handled,
(27:10):
was misshandled because I felt like,if you got the fans, your
friends and all these celebrity powerhouses prayingfor you, reaching out and talking and
just trying to figure out what's goingand here's the thing, you are like
one of the top five actors inHollywood, and you are one of us.
(27:33):
I call him one of a lifetimetype talent. Nobody can do what
he does. I just think Ijust think that, hey, we respected
our privacy, but he has returnedhome and be good. Go ahead,
Copa. No, I mean Isaw your post about it, and you
know I stayed clear. You know, you know I everybody was posting and
(28:00):
given whatever interpretation or what they thoughtwas going on. I've had plenty of
people asked me because you know,they think that we're all connected in this
industry and we are to like sixdegrees of separation. But you know,
I see what you're saying in termsof let's stop the rumor mill. Let's
just put a statement out from thefamily and keep it moving. And she
(28:22):
initially did that when she said therewas a medical emergency, and that's where
it stayed, and no one hasever come forward and actually given what has
gone on with Jamie, So Imean, the thing is she squashed the
rumors, but she didn't say muchother than he's home, he's fine,
which is great. But I seewhat you're saying. But it's like,
(28:45):
you know, unfortunately, because ofthe job that we chose to do as
celebrities, as people that are inthe limelight, we're giving acts to our
lives in a way that the averageperson does not. Now, of course,
with social media, everybody's trying toput all their business out there.
But I just got to kind ofrespect them in the sense that they're not
(29:06):
falling into the norm that because Iam in the forefront. I am in
the limelight. I am a celect. I have to put all my business
out there. But um, itcreates it definitely creates a momentum of keeping
people invested in you. But youknow, he has I'm pretty sure somebody's
(29:27):
telling her what to do. Someonelike Jamie definitely has a PubL assist that's
handling all of that. But weare nosey by nature, you know,
people are. So that's given usjust enough, just enough for the city,
you know what I mean. Yeah, Well, my thing was this,
we don't need to know your condition. We don't need to know why
(29:49):
you went in there, We don'tneed know any of that. All the
we want to know is that hasour prayers been answered? And this God,
did God spare your life? That'sall I'm talking about. Because because
the media. Yeah, but twoweeks after, weeks after the all the
(30:10):
rumor, mills was gone. Youknow what I'm saying, what we know
she said that they sat back andwatched all the different rumors. My thing
was, Okay, you watched allthe different rumors. All you had to
do is just say, hey,y'all, listen, let's stop. This
got lit My dad to heal,he is home. We just wanted to
give him an opportunity to you know, kind of get reactimated and do that.
(30:33):
But listen, let's kill the rumors. He's doing fine, he's doing
great, but good bump. That'sall I was saying. And then we
could kill all that. Hey Jamie, thank God, have you heard our
prayers? You heal, You're gettingbetter, and we want to see do
more movies and everything like that.That was just my thought on that one.
Um also cue, I want toget into this John Morette situation.
(30:55):
I know, Darbio, um youuh are sports and myself, I think
the NBA, before they give thesemajor contracts to these young men, I
think that there should be a clause, some type of clause that says,
hey, if you go against thesetype of policies gambling, if you break
(31:15):
the gambling, you you're you're wavinga gun, you're doing these type of
things, and you know this isagainst our policy. I think they should
forfeit two years of day salary.I think something like that needs to needs
to be in place so that theseyoung men when they get these major contracts
(31:37):
that they're not they're understanding that thisis a privilege that you have been selected
to be on a major platform onour global platform. Yeah yeah, I
think I think that should happen.Man, you know, and I shared
this on Twitter. This this situationreally bothers me, like it grieves me.
(32:02):
And you know, part of itis because you know, I'm from
the hood. You know what I'msaying. I grew up in the tail
of my early memories in my neighborhoodwith shootouts and copy pasting, drug dealers
up my driveway, back heads,trying to break into people's houses and all
(32:24):
this kind of stuff. Like it'sfunny because a couple of weeks ago,
a childhood friend of mine who livesout of state now, but he came
back in town. We were justsitting reminiscent about all the hell we went
through and how now in our midthirties, all we want is peace,
you know what I'm saying. Andto see someone who did he came from
(32:45):
a middle class background, he didn'tgrow up in the hood. To see
someone who was about to make overtwo hundred million dollars and that you're gonna
go back to the mud, You'regonna go back to the trenches. What
I don't understand is once you've madeit with what is he trying to prove
(33:07):
that's right? Yeah, that's right. Once you've made it right, if
you're going back, you should begoing back to lift people up, not
to bring yourself back down. ButJohn Murrean, so what I understand he's
not even the hood. No,that's what I'm saying. He's from the
hood from that. You didn't growup around that. It's like, what
are you doing? What are youprove it? This is I just want
(33:30):
to I think that the NBA needsto we have to how I want to
say this, Yes, the individualsthat they bring it to the NBA have
that have potential star power. Yes, you gotta protect your investment. You
make that investment. I get it. When you look at all the mass
shooting, you look at all ofthe gun violence in the inner city and
(33:53):
everything like that. The NBA hasspoken out against that. You've seen coaches,
players, they protests against these things. So I think what has to
happen is that they need to putsomething in place that less these guys,
that let these young guys know thatA, we are going to we're gonna
(34:15):
take your money. If you ifyou if you think that it's okay to
walk around with a gun in aclub and your friends video you, which
that speaks volumes you know that yourfriends around you their video in you,
willfully, willingly video on you,understanding that they're putting that risk your whole
(34:37):
career. Okay, we need toput something in place to where it threatens
your livelihood. So that way,okay, or and obviously he didn't get
the memo because this is this hissecond transgression. Hell yeah, he's had
six He's had six incidents, fourof them involving a gun exactly. And
(35:00):
so some do whoever he's around,he doesn't realize they're a bunch of leeches.
There are a bunch of people thatare not on his level. And
the thing is, we have tojust like they did old Hollywood, and
we talk about this all the timein the industry, when they used to
put you in a put you preybasically in a machine, to make you
over, to make you ready toaccept the kind of success they're about to
(35:22):
bestow upon you. They condition youyour mindset, how you walk, how
you talk. It was almost like, you know, grooming them for this
lifestyle you're just giving. Is thismoney and not knowing their mental state,
their emotional state, and just becausethey have talent. It's the slave mentality.
As long as you're working for usand making us money. Boy,
(35:42):
we don't care what you do.But if you mess up and you know,
screw it up, we know we'vegot ten more bucks in line to
take your spot. Yeah. Andit's unfortunately, you know, and it's
the same because he doesn't come fromthat. But you know, it just
shows you that either he was verysheltered and now he feels like he has
something to prove, you know,he's in this mentality that he has to
have some hood credit. No,I love the hood. I spent my
(36:06):
summers in the hood because my grandmother, my mother came from the hood.
But honey, I have no desireto be in the hood, honey.
Okay. Right, And on alighter note, and so John Morett stop
doing stupid shit, okay, andand and so just be me supposed to
be man. He's not ready.Man, he's not handle this. And
(36:27):
they need to understand that when youget boys this kind of money, this
kind of status and platform, maybeyou need to put them aside and give
them some glooming to handle. It. Yeah, some some talent development,
but I want to do something.On a lighter note, as we end
the show, I want to thankour getting street in Car time for coming
on from Power brand makes you guysgo register a DARVYO. I'm thinking about
(36:47):
running for public office. Man,oh lord, yeah, would you vote
for me? Darfio Coco? Iheard you anything, it depends on running
against you. To weigh all myoptions, they dug me, I would
(37:09):

god, terrible guests about about you. Man. Uh but Darvill, you're
good though, Yeah, I'm goodbrother. Alright, alright, alright,
now on to the other lovely sideof the show. This young lady is
(05:34):
doing some amazing things right here inour city in Cleveland, and she's getting
ready to host one of the biggestnetworking events that is catered to cutting the
red tape for entrepreneurs, bringing resourcesdirectly to the entrepreneurs. Nope, most
time, as entrepreneurs, and youknow this two Coco and Darvo, sometimes
(05:58):
we have to go through so muchtape just to get to the dollar,
just to get to the resource.Well, this particular woman has brilliantly made
it easy. She has cut thered tape to bring those resources that most
entrepreneurs try to connect with but theycan't get to. She's cut the red
tape to bring those resources directly theentrepreneurs and by way of Power Brand Beyond
(06:24):
the Beyond the Algorithm conference that's beinghosted this week, and yours truly will
be hosting the Visionary Moment as well, which will feature our guests today,
none other than Sharta Carthon, who'sin. Let's go. I am so
happy to be here you guys.I'm excited Lord Jesus and my decidy and
(06:47):
I have some amazing news for youall. Break right here. I'm gonna
break you right here. I'm gonnabreak you right here. Well, Jeff,
you already know what just happened.But the reason I'm doing Power Brand
is because, again, I haveworked with celebrities, I have worked with
artists, I have worked with entrepreneurs, and the number one issue that we
(07:11):
face is cash flow. And soyou know the quote, I'm not just
the president, I'm a client.Actually that's that's no truer words ever spoken,
because I pretty much did. Startedout this conference in Cleveland about a
year ago, and I got rejected. I literally counted five thousand, one
hundred and thirty five times. That'show many rejections that I got. That's
(07:38):
how many knows I got and soI got down to the point where I
didn't even think this conference was gonnahappen. Just truth be told, because
I'm just like, Okay, I'mbrand new, nobody knows me. I
have a heart for the people andentrepreneurs, but it may not happen.
And I am so happy to reportthat within the last forty eight hours by
myself completely raised as having thousand dollarscongratulations and you deserve colations type of world
(08:09):
records. Yeah yeah, but Ijust but I believe. And so at
the conference, we have people comingall from all across the nation just to
give entrepreneurs the real scoop and wherethe money is. Because everyone knows after
the pandemic, there was so manylayoffs that people were so afraid to go
(08:33):
back into corporate They really didn't wantto take another leap into a place where
you know, they weren't going tobe successful. And so a lot of
people needed resources in order to understandwhat they were doing. And so I'm
bringing in the greatest finance companies,marketers, branders, all the types of
people just so that these entrepreneurs canfind out how to get to the money
(08:54):
and how to market themselves. Theright way. So I'm excited and that's
that's dope. And you said yourejected five one hundred thirties five thousand five.
Yeah, but almost sure. Solet me ask you a question.
And I don't want to poke thebear, but you know, I got
to have you received any local support? It was five okay? All right?
(09:20):
So the five thousand included these areorganizations and people that were outside of
outside of the Cleveland area. Thesewere these were local and national organizations.
And I'm talking about things granting organizations, uh, non profit organizations, just
all types of people, even regularum business people who have money. They
(09:45):
was like, girl, no,you get on my face. You know
what I'm saying. But wow,yeah, but but every it's you don't
get a whole bunch of those.So in the business and then entertainment business,
if you get fifty rejections, youdon't get one yet. So there
were absolute movie organizations like you know, jump Start, score, h SBA,
(10:05):
the you know, state government.They said, we ain't gonna get
you no money, but how canwe put our name behind what you're doing
so that people can understand that,you know, we we believe in you
know, where you're getting ready togo. So um, the only thing
I gotta say is is just like, don't give up. I mean,
and don't give up. You canbe at the bottom of the nights and
(10:26):
not have a dollar in your pocket, and God can really like turn it
around where people will really see thatyou're not gonna quit and make eleven K
in forty eight hours if you know, if you gotta you know, if
you got that tenacity and mont quit. So I'm gonn excited. I'm excited
for you. I know, wegot to go to break here. What
we got about a minute or soleft, Darbill, about two minutes.
(10:50):
Okay, So, so shartas,why did you come up with this name
this conference? Beyond the algorithm?Break that down for us? Absolutely,
I came up with that name specificallybecause I believe a lot of entrepreneurs and
artists and creatives are on social media, and that's honestly where we get our
money from. That's where we're connectingwith our audiences. Really, brick and
(11:13):
mortar is dead. And so thething is if we're on social media,
you know, and that's what's controllingthe narrative, and we're not getting to
the people that we need to getto because they control the algorithm. It's
just like we almost have to goback to the day of pilgrimage, back
to the basics where we're actually havingdirect relationships with people picking up the phone,
(11:33):
talking to people calling, you know, one on ones with people you
know. And so that's why Icalled it beyond the Algorithm, and that's
why you know this this concert ishappening the way it is wonderful, wonderful.
Listen. I'm so proud of youand the work you're doing. Also,
you're my business manager. Most peopledon't know that. You're definitely helping
(11:58):
create a different brand out side ofthe Jeff Brown Show, UH through Confessions,
which is coming UH this year.Later this year, UM to debut
on streaming UH platforms across the youknow, across the spectrum. So UH
go talk a little bit more aboutthat and we're gonna bring you back after
the break. Coco Dervo. Iknow y'all don't have the actual bio,
(12:22):
but if there's anything that y'all wantto ask on this in the next segment
with my girls Shrida while we gother h let's let's uh, let's gang

(13:28):
Shreeta Carton or with us representing thevisionary I'm sorry of power brand Uh
the Beyond the Algorithm conference. Soum again, Serena, we appreciate what
you're doing here in the city.Um, but Coco, I said,
I think you said you had aquestion for oh go there, you mire
(13:54):
of cocoa. The cocoa disappeared?Is she in the major? Now she
here? She just muted, Okay, go ahead, dart yeah something yeah.
So. Um, Obviously, likeyou said, social media is very
important and it's the way that wecan reach out, you know, to
(14:16):
to our audience. So if there'ssomeone who's listening who's starting from scratch,
what's one or two things that youwould recommend for them to do? That
is a great question. The numberone thing that I recommend them to do
is get focused. Right with socialmedia, there's so many attractive distractions that
we have that you know, sometimeswhen you get in a place where you're
(14:39):
desperate for money, you just absolutelydo anything just to get it, versus
somebody who's really focused and really understandlike, Okay, this is the goal
that I have, this is whatI'm going for. Definitely, get focused
on what you want. The nextthing I would say is have relationships for
people, um, Like in thisseason, you know, especially the trust
(15:01):
and so many scams going on onthe internet, you really have to you
really have to establish some type ofrelationship with people. People have to know
like and trust you in order todo business. With you, and the
next thing I would say is getconnected, like like, tell people your
story, let them know who youare and what you're really trying to accomplish.
(15:24):
And stay consistent, because if you'reconsistent and people know that they can
count on you to do that onething and you're gonna do it regardless if
they're helping you or not, peoplewill buy into the vision that you have.
Absolutely, absolutely, And I've watchedyour media platform just grow, like
(15:45):
you know, I was talking aboutit. I think we talked about this
a couple weeks ago, Darvie,about these blue checks and all these people
got these blue checks. Hey guys, I'm back and I'm gonna time in.
The blue checks now have watered downthe celebrity status, just like social
media watered down real stars. Yeah, yeah, I say, I don't
(16:07):
want to be part of a clubthat everybody can be a part of.
Yeah. Well I was saying thatto say that too, But I was
saying that to say, like,Sharida is an actual person who's been on
national platforms, right, so she'searned the blue check. She's been on
You've been on CNN, what you'vebeen on a VH one h one you've
(16:30):
been over Brown right, yes,NBC. Yeah, you've been on all
those major platforms, correct, yeah, he said, And you're part of
the forts creatives now right, Yes, I am a part of Ford the
Folk now yeah. Yeah, yeah, So it's legitimate. Yeah, she's
the real deal. And so whenyou talk about with this like you were
(16:52):
talking about earlier, Sharida, aboutthe scamming and how these people sometimes,
you know, it is really hardto really build a legitimate platform now on
these social media platform because you don'tknow what you're getting as far as real
followers that content. You know,it just be crazy. And so now
(17:14):
what you've done is or what you'redoing is now you're showing the creatives how
to legitimately build their platforms through socialmedia and transform that to transfer that energy
or that platform into dollars that makesense. And that's what you've been doing,
you know what I'm saying. Soyou are the truth, you are,
(17:37):
You are your own bootprint to thatsuccess. I've seen it. Everybody
that knows you've seen it, sowe know you the real deal. But
go ahead, Cocoa, no,no, no, sorry for the technical
difficulties earlier. Actually, Darbiall askedthe question pretty much that I was going
to ask, Okay, but Iwas going to ask her coming from a
(18:00):
nonprofit perspective, because I have anonprofit organization about to do an event on
May twenty seventh honoring women who havelupus, and I've found it that when
I did the event five years ago, getting sponsors was a no brainer.
I mean, I don't know ifit was because of me being able to
(18:21):
walk in and say from Tyler Perryor whatever, but because of all the
scamming and all the people doing thingsunderhanded, not taking the money and using
it, Like, how do youconvince people even you know, someone like
me who goes like you can findme, honey, you can just google
me and find me on the stagesomewhere. But people are so leary now
because of all the scamming and peopleusing this money for buying homes and Bentleys
(18:45):
and stuff. That is an amazingquestion. So here's the thing is that,
I mean, I'm just going tospeak on the celebrity side. There
have been scammers who have been successfulin impersonating, right, So yeah,
yeah, right, And so it'sjust like unless I literally have your telephone
(19:08):
number and I know personally, andI can personally pick up that telephone,
that that phone and call you directly. I'm gonna be skeptical, and you're
like, I'm here, I'm inthe flesh. And they're even now,
I know, um, event planners, even celebrities that have been doing events
for a very long time, andthey're still question even now. And even
(19:30):
the dollars are one lower and lowerand lower and so um. So it's
just like, even if you're acelebrity, you're actually targeted more just because
you can be impersonated quicker. Ifthat makes it definitely. I think the
biggest delimma we have now is notjust a I It's just that I don't
(19:51):
know how many of my colleagues havehad to put out, you know,
messages and videos because somebody went insomebody's d I'm saying they were this particular
celebrity and said I needed help.You know, I'm about to get kicked
out with my kids and or somethinglike the celebrity stay, I'm trying to
raise money for this family, andpeople find out that's not even the celebrity.
(20:15):
I know that that Tyrese just wentthrough that, uh you know,
and it's like these these scammers,and the thing the problem is as we
as public figures, ay, Ican get our voices, that's easy,
Hey, I can get takes onlythirty seconds of our voice. Yeah.
They call people or show up andsay leave a whole voice text on I
(20:38):
g and say, hey, thisis Kake Brown and I'm raising money to
su Sunsets. You can catch afteryour donation and come to findance a whole
scam. Wow, that's just ohyeah, Oh, I'm sorry, I'm
I'm thinking about Darby. You gottaedit this show. I was just gonna
(21:00):
say. I think that that iswhy the power of actual physical video is
important, and it is tapes incrazy ways, because you can't impersonate someone
who's unless you're cloning. I don'tknow about all that, but I'm just
saying the physical video and people knowingand being attached you like, and they
(21:23):
can buy other people being able tovouch for you as well. And so
again, even me raising eleven Kover two days, there were still people
who message me and said, hey, Shrida, it's just you, let
me call you, let me FaceTimeyou. Just to bearside of this and
one I mean, and I've beendoing power brand consistently for you know,
(21:47):
in Cleveland for one year, butin other locations for a very long time,
you know, you know, sopeople know me. Even with the
blue check, people still was justlike, are you scamming? So yeah,
absolutely, Well listen, I'm gonnacome right a Shrita, don't go
anywhere. We'll be right back withmore to Jeff Brown Show. Uh,
because I want you to tap alittle bit, talk about a little bit
(22:08):

(25:57):
like a media group. Yeah,it's a private little situation that we have

invited, you know you're supposed tobe in the room. Okay, Well,
there you have it. So Iapologize. I'm gonna be in the
room. So for those of youthat can't be in the room, but
I'll just tell you all about iton Frock. Okay, but you know,
(26:22):
so Seria, don't go there wherehang out with us. Thank you
again for us stopping about, butdon't gonna where, but listen, Hey,
y'all, I just got to talkabout a few things. Okay,
UM, this Jamie Fox situation.UM, I'm glad that Jamie is recovering
according to these reports. I justthink that the way it was handled listening.
(26:44):
I don't care about what condition hehas, that's his business. But
the article that came out with hisdaughter and how she responded about media pushing
all these different rumors and things likethat, I thought that I thought it
was I understand from her standpoint,but I think that situation was just handled,
(27:10):
was misshandled because I felt like,if you got the fans, your
friends and all these celebrity powerhouses prayingfor you, reaching out and talking and
just trying to figure out what's goingand here's the thing, you are like
one of the top five actors inHollywood, and you are one of us.
(27:33):
I call him one of a lifetimetype talent. Nobody can do what
he does. I just think Ijust think that, hey, we respected
our privacy, but he has returnedhome and be good. Go ahead,
Copa. No, I mean Isaw your post about it, and you
know I stayed clear. You know, you know I everybody was posting and
(28:00):
given whatever interpretation or what they thoughtwas going on. I've had plenty of
people asked me because you know,they think that we're all connected in this
industry and we are to like sixdegrees of separation. But you know,
I see what you're saying in termsof let's stop the rumor mill. Let's
just put a statement out from thefamily and keep it moving. And she
(28:22):
initially did that when she said therewas a medical emergency, and that's where
it stayed, and no one hasever come forward and actually given what has
gone on with Jamie, So Imean, the thing is she squashed the
rumors, but she didn't say muchother than he's home, he's fine,
which is great. But I seewhat you're saying. But it's like,
(28:45):
you know, unfortunately, because ofthe job that we chose to do as
celebrities, as people that are inthe limelight, we're giving acts to our
lives in a way that the averageperson does not. Now, of course,
with social media, everybody's trying toput all their business out there.
But I just got to kind ofrespect them in the sense that they're not
(29:06):
falling into the norm that because Iam in the forefront. I am in
the limelight. I am a celect. I have to put all my business
out there. But um, itcreates it definitely creates a momentum of keeping
people invested in you. But youknow, he has I'm pretty sure somebody's
(29:27):
telling her what to do. Someonelike Jamie definitely has a PubL assist that's
handling all of that. But weare nosey by nature, you know,
people are. So that's given usjust enough, just enough for the city,
you know what I mean. Yeah, Well, my thing was this,
we don't need to know your condition. We don't need to know why
(29:49):
you went in there, We don'tneed know any of that. All the
we want to know is that hasour prayers been answered? And this God,
did God spare your life? That'sall I'm talking about. Because because
the media. Yeah, but twoweeks after, weeks after the all the
(30:10):
rumor, mills was gone. Youknow what I'm saying, what we know
she said that they sat back andwatched all the different rumors. My thing
was, Okay, you watched allthe different rumors. All you had to
do is just say, hey,y'all, listen, let's stop. This
got lit My dad to heal,he is home. We just wanted to
give him an opportunity to you know, kind of get reactimated and do that.
(30:33):
But listen, let's kill the rumors. He's doing fine, he's doing
great, but good bump. That'sall I was saying. And then we
could kill all that. Hey Jamie, thank God, have you heard our
prayers? You heal, You're gettingbetter, and we want to see do
more movies and everything like that.That was just my thought on that one.
Um also cue, I want toget into this John Morette situation.
(30:55):
I know, Darbio, um youuh are sports and myself, I think
the NBA, before they give thesemajor contracts to these young men, I
think that there should be a clause, some type of clause that says,
hey, if you go against thesetype of policies gambling, if you break
(31:15):
the gambling, you you're you're wavinga gun, you're doing these type of
things, and you know this isagainst our policy. I think they should
forfeit two years of day salary.I think something like that needs to needs
to be in place so that theseyoung men when they get these major contracts
(31:37):
that they're not they're understanding that thisis a privilege that you have been selected
to be on a major platform onour global platform. Yeah yeah, I
think I think that should happen.Man, you know, and I shared
this on Twitter. This this situationreally bothers me, like it grieves me.
(32:02):
And you know, part of itis because you know, I'm from
the hood. You know what I'msaying. I grew up in the tail
of my early memories in my neighborhoodwith shootouts and copy pasting, drug dealers
up my driveway, back heads,trying to break into people's houses and all
(32:24):
this kind of stuff. Like it'sfunny because a couple of weeks ago,
a childhood friend of mine who livesout of state now, but he came
back in town. We were justsitting reminiscent about all the hell we went
through and how now in our midthirties, all we want is peace,
you know what I'm saying. Andto see someone who did he came from
(32:45):
a middle class background, he didn'tgrow up in the hood. To see
someone who was about to make overtwo hundred million dollars and that you're gonna
go back to the mud, You'regonna go back to the trenches. What
I don't understand is once you've madeit with what is he trying to prove
(33:07):
that's right? Yeah, that's right. Once you've made it right, if
you're going back, you should begoing back to lift people up, not
to bring yourself back down. ButJohn Murrean, so what I understand he's
not even the hood. No,that's what I'm saying. He's from the
hood from that. You didn't growup around that. It's like, what
are you doing? What are youprove it? This is I just want
(33:30):
to I think that the NBA needsto we have to how I want to
say this, Yes, the individualsthat they bring it to the NBA have
that have potential star power. Yes, you gotta protect your investment. You
make that investment. I get it. When you look at all the mass
shooting, you look at all ofthe gun violence in the inner city and
(33:53):
everything like that. The NBA hasspoken out against that. You've seen coaches,
players, they protests against these things. So I think what has to
happen is that they need to putsomething in place that less these guys,
that let these young guys know thatA, we are going to we're gonna
(34:15):
take your money. If you ifyou if you think that it's okay to
walk around with a gun in aclub and your friends video you, which
that speaks volumes you know that yourfriends around you their video in you,
willfully, willingly video on you,understanding that they're putting that risk your whole
(34:37):
career. Okay, we need toput something in place to where it threatens
your livelihood. So that way,okay, or and obviously he didn't get
the memo because this is this hissecond transgression. Hell yeah, he's had
six He's had six incidents, fourof them involving a gun exactly. And
(35:00):
so some do whoever he's around,he doesn't realize they're a bunch of leeches.
There are a bunch of people thatare not on his level. And
the thing is, we have tojust like they did old Hollywood, and
we talk about this all the timein the industry, when they used to
put you in a put you preybasically in a machine, to make you
over, to make you ready toaccept the kind of success they're about to
(35:22):
bestow upon you. They condition youyour mindset, how you walk, how
you talk. It was almost like, you know, grooming them for this
lifestyle you're just giving. Is thismoney and not knowing their mental state,
their emotional state, and just becausethey have talent. It's the slave mentality.
As long as you're working for usand making us money. Boy,
(35:42):
we don't care what you do.But if you mess up and you know,
screw it up, we know we'vegot ten more bucks in line to
take your spot. Yeah. Andit's unfortunately, you know, and it's
the same because he doesn't come fromthat. But you know, it just
shows you that either he was verysheltered and now he feels like he has
something to prove, you know,he's in this mentality that he has to
have some hood credit. No,I love the hood. I spent my
(36:06):
summers in the hood because my grandmother, my mother came from the hood.
But honey, I have no desireto be in the hood, honey.
Okay. Right, And on alighter note, and so John Morett stop
doing stupid shit, okay, andand and so just be me supposed to
be man. He's not ready.Man, he's not handle this. And
(36:27):
they need to understand that when youget boys this kind of money, this
kind of status and platform, maybeyou need to put them aside and give
them some glooming to handle. It. Yeah, some some talent development,
but I want to do something.On a lighter note, as we end
the show, I want to thankour getting street in Car time for coming
on from Power brand makes you guysgo register a DARVYO. I'm thinking about
(36:47):
