Yeah. 546 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,240 They would've. 547 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,200 And it would've been the real story. Not that shit that homie tried to put out. 548 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,920 They would've boosted their immune system. Theyself. 549 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,760 They've boosted. It. 550 00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:22,360 They'd have to take the jab. You know. 551 00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:23,200 His word. 552 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,960 Would've been a lot more cuz they did it or they did do it without his 553 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,500 word. 554 00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:33,320 But imagine his word and imagine him standing on that 555 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,280 SA doctrine, like, 556 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,000 like how he's stand on the rolling sixties type doctrine that would've been so 557 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,960 right.

You know what I mean? Just, 640 00:37:14,990 --> 00:37:18,400 just, you know, somebody was just not outside of a tourist, 641 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,960 like somebody that was just living in there or just moved to New York from the 642 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,880 south or from the west coast or the Midwest. Like that shit was an anomaly, 643 00:37:28,340 --> 00:37:31,680 but things like that begin to happen.

You feel me? 703 00:41:01,370 --> 00:41:06,210 So I was exposed to that shit being in my face and it became just part of my 704 00:41:06,610 --> 00:41:10,010 everyday waking life. Like consciousness became my life. 705 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,370 What is it safe to say that you developing this newfound 706 00:41:15,370 --> 00:41:20,210 love for consciousness that was the saving grace for you at that particular time 707 00:41:20,210 --> 00:41:22,570 in your life to keep you away from the streets? 708 00:41:22,570 --> 00:41:25,330 Yeah, because I had just hit 30. Mm. 709 00:41:25,330 --> 00:41:28,010 And I went through the midlife crisis thing and everything. 710 00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:32,890 I was like bombarded in the crib, eating peanut butter, watching mad videos. 711 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:38,040 and I saw a video called the anatomy of Dr. Phil Valentine. 712 00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:42,960 And in that video he pointed to a brother named son Netta and was like, 713 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,680 this brother is, you know, um, he's gonna be carrying my, my, my, 714 00:41:47,970 --> 00:41:52,160 uh, my inventory, my catalog he's in Harlem, 715 00:41:52,620 --> 00:41:57,240 you know, um, go and see him. And at that time that was my master teacher. 716 00:41:57,590 --> 00:41:59,800 Yeah. So whatever, you know, so he, 717 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,280 he kind of co-signed Harlem and that kind of did it for me as well, 718 00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:08,680 but I had one foot in and one foot out because I didn't have a community. 719 00:42:08,830 --> 00:42:12,840 I didn't have anywhere to belong to at that time. So it was like, 720 00:42:13,580 --> 00:42:16,560 you know, all I knew was the streets, you know what I mean? Okay. 721 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,080 Like I'm outside. I gotta go outside to travel and move around shit. 722 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,720 I'm theoretically I'm outside. So whatever outside is, 723 00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:28,360 that's what I'm on. You know what I mean? Like I'm, I'm with it and 724 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,820 consciousness, but really what gave me, my purpose was my son in 2007, 725 00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:40,860 the, when the, the, the millisecond, they call it a chiros moment. 726 00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:45,700 It's an actual feeling where time freezes and you have this Eureka moment. 727 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,660 And it usually, it usually takes place either in childbirth or near death. 728 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,260 And I saw him coming into this, I saw him breathe this first breath. 729 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,860 And it all made sense at that point. 730 00:42:58,990 --> 00:43:00,700 Purpose, like that's the end of the. 731 00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:05,420 Street. It was just not, it really was, it just was purpose. Yeah. Like, wow, 732 00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:10,140 there's a purpose bigger than me now. Like I got something to live for. Like, 733 00:43:10,270 --> 00:43:14,020 there's something more important to me taking place right now. Like, 734 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,460 and I could put on for somebody else that I was putting on for 735 00:43:19,460 --> 00:43:20,250 myself. 736 00:43:20,250 --> 00:43:21,083 Yeah. 737 00:43:21,330 --> 00:43:24,500 Even with the learning. And I was just impressing myself, 738 00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:25,780 my girl wasn't impressed. 739 00:43:25,930 --> 00:43:30,500 That wasn't really what she was on like that it wasn't really connecting with 740 00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:33,460 her. You feel me? Like she was all right with it. 741 00:43:33,750 --> 00:43:37,540 It wasn't like it was making me rich. Yeah. She was kind of like, damn, 742 00:43:37,540 --> 00:43:42,380 when I met you, you was really on it. Right. I, I met her in Vegas. Yeah. 743 00:43:42,380 --> 00:43:45,220 And I was on. So she was like, damn, 744 00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:47,780 you kind of like you on your monk shit right now. 745 00:43:47,780 --> 00:43:51,340 Cause during that time I was going, I was, you know, 746 00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:54,980 I was just the books I doing doing without. Yeah. I was doing without, 747 00:43:54,980 --> 00:43:59,260 I was going through everybody. I know goes through that, 748 00:43:59,420 --> 00:44:03,260 where you go through a level of what the Buddha went through. Mm-hmm, 749 00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:06,860 how I'm gonna find out the money is fi out and it's fake and I'm 750 00:44:06,860 --> 00:44:09,140 gonna be attract and I'm bringing more of it into me. 751 00:44:09,170 --> 00:44:13,340 That's the fucking oxymoron. I'm repelling it. Yeah. I'm like, I don't need it. 752 00:44:13,490 --> 00:44:18,460 That shit is dirty as is fake is like that spell got broken 753 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,300 for me. And I had to, I had to recast it. 754 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,740 And like a track unlike rappel. So you had to repel it. 755 00:44:24,740 --> 00:44:26,100 Away from it. Right. And I had to, 756 00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:30,420 I had to REAT attract it by giving it another purpose other than what the fuck, 757 00:44:30,420 --> 00:44:35,400 cuz whatever it was that I had it there, there, I was pulling it to me when I, 758 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,280 when I was chasing it and it was chasing me, 759 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,800 but it was eating away at my freedom. It was eating away at a lot of things. 760 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,640 I was taking penitentiary chances. Oh. And, 761 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,400 but when I was going much about that, right. 762 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,320 So when I was going through the awakening and the transformation, I'm like, 763 00:44:50,340 --> 00:44:54,760 the transformation is not money based, so I don't need it. Mm. 764 00:44:54,860 --> 00:44:55,693 You feel me? 765 00:44:55,810 --> 00:44:59,960 It was getting in the way of the transformation when I had too much of it. 766 00:45:00,410 --> 00:45:04,520 So you had to find your purpose and speaking of your purpose. Yeah. 767 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,480 Let's get to the purpose of the mark. 1 25. 768 00:45:09,590 --> 00:45:10,423 Yeah. 769 00:45:10,450 --> 00:45:13,600 So yeah, man. So the mark, um, you know, 770 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,520 when I walked away from Harlem and you know, we went on our journey to, 771 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,760 you know, take the show in the road.

Right. 960 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,600 But best believe and know that it's coming, man. 961 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,480 Right. So one of the, one of the caveats of the facts initiative, right. 962 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:00,800 That we were speaking about earlier, 963 00:55:01,180 --> 00:55:05,800 the Mart one 25th is under the umbrella of the facts initiative. 964 00:55:05,870 --> 00:55:10,720 Mm-hmm the Mart one 25th exists to highlight and to showcase as 965 00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:11,553 a marketplace, 966 00:55:11,700 --> 00:55:16,200 the talent that we're picking up as we go on tour on the facts initiative. 967 00:55:16,430 --> 00:55:20,840 Okay. So I just went on tour to Richmond, Virginia into PG county. 968 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,960 And I picked up three accounts of, of clothing from the, 969 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,520 from the acronym of facts, food, clothing, technology, shelter. 970 00:55:29,050 --> 00:55:33,760 So I picked up three brothers who are three different companies and they're old 971 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,920 clothing companies. Now they're gonna become monthly, uh, quarterly members. 972 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,640 Right? Cause membership has its privileges. Yeah. 973 00:55:40,660 --> 00:55:45,440 And in a recession environment where the feds are doing what 974 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,920 they're doing with interest rates and they're stoking the, 975 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,480 the fires of a recession and they're talking fear, 976 00:55:52,020 --> 00:55:54,680 the antidote or what we would call the, 977 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,760 I immune the immunity to all of that shit is tribe or, 978 00:55:59,370 --> 00:56:01,120 or, or, or community, right. 979 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,720 Gotta find your tribe, gotta find your. 980 00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,360 Community.

You have to find your membership. 982 00:56:08,860 --> 00:56:12,480 You have to find your calling and whatnot.

So we all, uh, most of us are parents.

My venture capitalists, 1123 01:04:21,410 --> 01:04:24,680 my lean investors, holler at us. You know what I mean? Tap in. 1124 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,880 One quick question. Mm-hmm white paper. 1125 01:04:27,950 --> 01:04:29,600 Tell 'em what white paper means. 1126 01:04:29,630 --> 01:04:31,800 It's basically our roadmap. You know what I mean? 1127 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,280 It would be like our monitor day version of a business plan. 1128 01:04:34,550 --> 01:04:35,920 That's our white paper. So. 1129 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,960 This is not something where a person has a determined idea 1130 01:04:40,610 --> 01:04:45,440 or a plan that he just thought of. This is well planned out. 1131 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,040 It's written, there's a white page. 1132 01:04:48,050 --> 01:04:49,760 We did the ceremony. We did the source. 1133 01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:53,000 And wrote it out. Is, is there gonna be anything connected, 1134 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,960 like to the block chain, with smart contracts and all of that? See, we don't. 1135 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:57,760 Have enough time. Yes, you. 1136 01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,480 Yes. Real quick, two minutes or less. 1137 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,920 Let's we, uh, we are forming a Dow, 1138 01:05:02,230 --> 01:05:05,280 a decentralized autonomous organization, artifact. 1139 01:05:05,350 --> 01:05:06,320 Talk that talk. 1140 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,400 Brother, it's gonna be automated. We won't have hierarchy. It won't be CEOs. 1141 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,960 And all of that stuff, it will be a Dow. It'll be connected to a smart contract. 1142 01:05:14,220 --> 01:05:17,080 The money will be an escrow. The, the, the, even the, 1143 01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,480 the funds that I'm talking about with the 30,000 at 20 investment, 1144 01:05:20,740 --> 01:05:24,360 the 600,000 will be on the blockchain. And it will be tokenized. 1145 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,920 We'll take the Fiat and we'll turn it into our own coin. Right? 1146 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,840 Mm-hmm . So when we spend this, when we, 1147 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,920 when we circulated it throughout the network, it won't be Fiat based. 1148 01:05:33,090 --> 01:05:37,600 It will be tokenized. It will be our tokens that we'll be spending and whatnot. 1149 01:05:38,060 --> 01:05:42,160 And it would be on an open ledger. So when the penny pools, 1150 01:05:42,580 --> 01:05:47,200 you see it on the blockchain, right? So that, that brings back the trust. It's. 1151 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:47,970 A game changer. 1152 01:05:47,970 --> 01:05:50,280 Is, is bringing back the trust that, that this, 1153 01:05:50,310 --> 01:05:54,840 this community and other communities have kind of like eroded and whatnot. 1154 01:05:54,850 --> 01:05:58,680 So we're talking about restoring the trust, um, 1155 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,920 utilizing small contracts, utilizing NFTs, 1156 01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:06,680 and just utilizing all of the technology that's available in web three right now 1157 01:06:06,890 --> 01:06:10,320 to tighten this thing up. That's why when I started it in 2017, 1158 01:06:10,730 --> 01:06:13,240 it was a soft run. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm , 1159 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:17,280 it was like a soft launch, but it did what it needed to do. It was a disruptor, 1160 01:06:17,460 --> 01:06:19,720 but the technology didn't catch up yet. 1161 01:06:19,860 --> 01:06:24,680 But now in 2022 is ripe to where the technology has caught up to the 1162 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:25,760 vision and the idea. 1163 01:06:26,050 --> 01:06:29,280 So we married it and now we're campaigning and we're on the road, 1164 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,360 North Carolina, South Carolina, October talk black to me, 1165 01:06:33,550 --> 01:06:36,920 look out for us.

We going to Hawaii Africa, UK. 1176 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:08,240 Let's go for those that don't know. 1177 01:07:08,700 --> 01:07:12,680 And this is in layman term. I know it was a lot for y'all to digest, 1178 01:07:12,900 --> 01:07:16,160 but when he's talking about a smart contract, right, 1179 01:07:16,670 --> 01:07:19,760 that means once the deal is solidified, right, 1180 01:07:20,690 --> 01:07:24,880 it can go for as long as you contract it for whether 1181 01:07:25,890 --> 01:07:29,480 he wants to, or he don't want to, or someone else wants to, 1182 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,880 or someone else don't want to whatever's laid down is the law. 1183 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:38,200 And it has to be followed on this contract. Not only that, 1184 01:07:39,140 --> 01:07:42,240 the guidelines for how long the contract is, 1185 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,920 whether you get a percentage into, uh, 1186 01:07:45,350 --> 01:07:47,440 pitu or not, 1187 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,680 it's just certain things that you can put in there to make sure that your money 1188 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:56,240 is secure. So this takes out the trust factor. You know, 1189 01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:00,400 Marcus Garvey always said that we are people that's cursed by our petty 1190 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,800 differences, right? And there's a lack of trust amongst us. 1191 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:08,080 And until we overcome those, uh, differences and those trust, 1192 01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,080 we'll be stuck in the same position on our pivot, right. 1193 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,720 This right here is a game changer. That's gonna take you off your pivot. 1194 01:08:16,250 --> 01:08:17,083 So family, 1195 01:08:17,470 --> 01:08:21,720 make sure you do your research about what this blockchain is, 1196 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,720 how you can benefit from it day, 1197 01:08:23,780 --> 01:08:27,510 and then holler after mark, man, 1198 01:08:28,220 --> 01:08:31,950 this is Rahe Shaba and we out, man, we out peace.
