We are releasing today on our podcast show a repurposed webinar which we produced on May 13, 2025 entitled “What is happening at the federal agencies (other than the CFPB) that is relevant to the consumer financial services industry.” During this podcast, we will inform you about recent developments at those other agencies, including the FTC, OCC, FDIC, FRB and DOJ (collectively, the “Agencies”) and the White House (through the issuance of Executive Orders). Some of the issues we consider are: • What are the strategic priorities of the Agencies, including cryptocurrency (OCC, FRB and DOJ); reducing regulatory burden, promoting financial inclusion, embracing bank-fintech partnerships and expanding responsible bank activities involving digital assets (OCC); adopt a more open-minded approach to innovation and technology adoption (FDIC); public inquiry into anti-competitive regulations (FTC and DOJ); and regulation of AI technology, boosting protections for children and teens online and strengthening enforcement against companies that sell, transfer, or disclose Americans' geolocation information and other sensitive data to foreign adversaries, more emphasis on antitrust enforcement and less on consumer protection (FTC). • What is the status of proposed or final regulations of the Agencies? (e.g., FTC CARS Rule, Click-to-Cancel Rule, Junk Fees Rule, and Rule banning Noncompetes; FDIC advertisement and brokered-deposit rules, OCC rule on bank mergers; and the Community Reinvestment Act final rule)? • What is the status of enforcement investigations and litigation of the Agencies? • What impact will staff cuts have on supervisory examinations? • What is the impact of President Trump's executive order requiring the Agencies to obtain approval from the White House of all proposed and final regulations? • Will the Supreme Court approve of President Donald Trump's firing of the Democratic members of the FTC and NCUA and other federal agencies (who have subsequently sued Trump to challenge the firings) and, if so, what are its implications? • What is the significance of the FDIC and OCC agreeing to eliminate “reputation risk” as a basis for evaluating risks to banks? • Will the OCC adopt a regulation or other guidance, or will Congress enact legislation pertaining to debanking/fair access? • Will the OCC and/or FDIC issue any guidance or regulations pertaining to federal preemption of state law in light of the Supreme Court's opinion last term in Cantero and the impending Courts of Appeal decisions in Cantero, Kivett and Conti? • What is the significance of the FDIC withdrawing its amicus brief in support of the Colorado Attorney General in the 10th Circuit in the lawsuit brought by industry against him challenging a Colorado statute which purported to opt out of Section 521 of DIDMCA? • Will there continue to be fair lending and disparate impact enforcement at any of the Agencies? Alan Kaplinsky, former chair and now senior counsel of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, moderated the presentations of the following other members of the Consumer Financial Services Group: Scott Coleman, Ronald Vaske and Kristen Larson.

On May 30, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Cantero v. Bank of America, reversing and remanding the case to the Second Circuit. Rather than articulating a bright line test for preemption, the Supreme Court instructed the circuit court to conduct a “nuanced analysis” to determine whether the National Bank Act preempts a New York state law that requires the payment of 2% interest on mortgage escrow accounts. Per the Supreme Court, the Second Circuit must apply the preemption standard described in the Dodd-Frank Act, which provides that a state consumer financial law is preempted “only if” it discriminates against national banks in comparison with state banks; is preempted by another Federal law; or “prevents or significantly interferes with the exercise by the national bank of its powers,” as determined “in accordance with the legal standard for preemption in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States” in Barnett Bank, N.A. v. Nelson. See 12 U.S.C. § 25b(b)(1). We open today's podcast episode, which repurposes a recent webinar roundtable covering the Cantero decision, with a new preface by moderator Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group. This preface provides an update on an important post-Cantero development: a Ninth Circuit opinion issued on August 23 in another preemption case, Kivett v. Flagstar Bank. Alan explains why the Ninth Circuit's new opinion in Kivett applies a standard that is totally inconsistent with the instructions provided by the Supreme Court in Cantero. Today's episode then proceeds with a discussion featuring Alan Kaplinsky, Ballard Spahr Partner Joseph Schuster, and four attorneys who each filed an amicus brief in Cantero. These experts share their reactions and explore potential next steps and possible outcomes as the Second Circuit and other courts proceed with efforts to comply with the Supreme Court's Cantero mandate.

Emotions play a crucial role in the workplace, shaping decision-making, fostering meaningful connections, and driving individual and collective success. On this episode of Moments Move Us, Qualenta Kivett, Executive Vice President and Chief People, and Talent Officer at Tampa General Hospital, shares her experience with the Ask John Program at her organization, which allows employees to submit anonymous or named questions to the CEO. This program emphasizes the importance of emotions in decision-making. Qualenta shares a story about how she suggested changes to the tuition reimbursement policy and how the CEO ultimately agreed to make the change. Beyond emotions, we explore the significance of curiosity, risk-taking, and embracing individuality within an organization.

They have gathered skills, networked, and faced any endeavor with great resilience.

Over the years, Betty & Melissa have brought companies to new directions because of their never-ending quest for growth, creativity, and positive impact. Their curiosity and courage to try new ideas has truly gained the respect and trust of prestigious industry leaders, organizations, and colleagues.

And I get to pick his brain not only on his entertainment and musical artistry, but I get to pick his brain about his own podcast and I get to pick his brain, even more importantly, to some of the audience members about his marketing skills because he has amassed a huge following. So, Marty, welcome. Man, I'm so glad you could do this. Marty Ray: And I'm honored that you would have me on your show, brother. Joe: Now, this is exciting, man, so Marty Ray: Don't take my brain. Don't pick my brain to order. You might get down. Joe: So I want to do a little I want to start with sort of the back story, if you can give us just, you know, how you got started. Was it the music part first? You know, whatever. You can just give us the whole thing. And then from there, I'm going to I'm going to dig in on some of these subjects so that we can really bring some some real knowledge to the audience when when they get to listen to this. Marty Ray: Well, I always tell people I came out of the womb singing and that's the truth, I just know just always could do it if if I can do it now, I could always do it. I never learned how I mean, Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: So I don't even know if I do it right. But it seems like a lot of people seem to like it. So that's good. It's good for me and they say it's good for them. So it makes me happy. As far as what came first podcast or music, you could say music came first. I started writing songs when I was 12, but as far as professionally. I did. I had a podcast back in like two thousand seven hundred three either. Joe: Yeah, no worries, Marty Ray: But that cut off didn't Joe: Just Marty Ray: Just Joe: Just Marty Ray: Cut Joe: For a second, Marty Ray: You off. Joe: Yeah, just for a second, it's all good. Marty Ray: The alarms man. Those alarms, I wish you could put the phone in airplane mode while you're doing things like this, but I don't think that works like it shuts the Internet off. But anyway, so I actually was doing a podcast in 2007 when nobody knew what podcasts were. They got no respect. It was so hard to get actual guests to come on the show back then because. If it wasn't radio, they didn't want no part of it. So I actually named my podcast back then, Memcache Radio, so it would fool them into thinking it was your radio station. Joe: Wow. Marty Ray: And I was I was actually successful at getting some pretty high. How to, you know, high falutin client client clients and our clients have fluting guest on. I got a very Rucker. He was one of the moment Joe: Wow. Marty Ray: And I was at that time, I had no fans, don't know nobody. He just he was on there, gave us some of the greatest, greatest advice I've ever gotten at the end of that podcast. And I said, what advice would you give? An artist trying to be where you're at and apply this to everything in my life and I think everybody else should do, you should just play. Don't just look at every opportunity as if it's. So it could be something big. It could be something that could change your life, you could change your career. And so that's what I do. I look at every situation and I go, even though they might be this person, that person, they might not be big yet or but who knows what tomorrow holds, you know? And I think that's how we're supposed to live, especially like me, because I'm a Christian. So I live, breathe, breathing for others. That's that's my goal in life. I try my best to not be selfish and I try to breathe for people that that are all around me, you know, like like you, Joe, I'm trying to breathe for you. So instead of because that's what Jesus told us to do. So that's kind of where my life started with a podcast and. I ended up doing a video to learn how to make music videos, so I did a music video, went and rented a camera, and the camera was a black magic cinema camera. They just they just released these cameras. And I wanted to learn how to do a professional style music video. So I wrote disparity to all about that bass, and it was all about that beard. Believe it or not, I don't know. I don't know where that came from. That's weird. Joe: You're right. Marty Ray: Yeah. I'm still trying to remember how I came up with the beard thing, but we'll figure it out someday. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: I don't Joe: Exactly. Marty Ray: Know why the beard came and now the. So then I did this video had no clue really what I was doing too much. And you could tell in the video. But I posted that video and it got two million views overnight and. Joe: Wow. Marty Ray: I was like, man, I got to really be consistent now because I told, you know, for years I kept saying I thought I could sing, but I was mimicking other artists. And I would I would try my best to sound just like them boys demand. Because you said a country singer. I'm really not a country singer. I know I look country, but I don't really do a whole lot of country anymore. I used to for my first album, I only did country because people told me that's what I better do because I look like a country Joe: Mm Marty Ray: Artist. Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: So I said I will call it country. But when the blues radio stations said my album was to country and the country radio station said it was too bluesy, then I wrote a song for my next album called Too Bluesy for Country to Country for Blues. And then I just said, forget it. I'm going to do what I want to do and I'm going to release everything on the album at one time. And that's what I've been doing ever since. So I got on my last album, Mixed Emotions. I got EDM songs on there like like club club music. Joe: Oh, wow. So it Marty Ray: I Joe: Must be Marty Ray: Can see, Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: You know. Joe: Yeah, it must be just the first couple of videos that I clicked on, I just happened to click in the wrong spot or just, you know, I just. Marty Ray: Well, you probably think, you know, I understand how mad nobody you probably clicked on a couple of songs and thought, here you see the acoustic guitar, you see a big bearded cornbread fed fellow from the south, and you go, this must be country because you might not listen to country. Right. So a lot of these people, they don't listen to country music, but they see somebody like me and they go, I guess this is country. I kind of like this man. I know. I like country. I get that a lot. I get that comment a lot, though. So I didn't know. I like country and I'm like, you still don't know if you like country, to be honest, because this ain't really country. I got nothing against country. Right. When I was growing up, I hated country when I was a boy because my parents love country. So I listen to RB and I grew up listening to the gospel like Shirley Caesar, Mahalia Jackson, Rance Allen, people like that. And then that turned into listening to RB. Still isn't the gospel today though, RB? Then it got into soul music and I got into blues music, and then at 12 years old, my mama took me to a Garth Brooks concert and I saw him live at the Pyramid Memphis, Tennessee. And I said, maybe I should give this a look. And I did. And I gave it a look. And I liked what I see, what I found. And he was because that was the that was the first time that I heard music. That was it was really telling stories like actually telling. If you listen to thunder rolls. Have you ever heard Garth Brooks? Joe: Yeah, but I don't know well enough if you mentioned a song, I'd be like, I don't. Marty Ray: Have you what would you listen to, what's your genre? Joe: I listen to everything I you know, because I own a booking agency in Phoenix here, so I have to book everything across the board, so I listen to everything. Marty Ray: Listen to everything but Garth Brooks, I got it. Joe: No, no, no, I just want no one saw you named. I think he's amazing. I think if that's your first exposure to country music, that was a hell of a way to see it, because he's I mean, everyone Marty Ray: It wasn't Joe: Loves Marty Ray: My first Joe: Him. Marty Ray: Exposure. It was the first time because, like I said, my parents, all my mom and my dad, but my mom, my dad was born to like Chicago and stuff, which I actually Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: Love that Joe: I Marty Ray: Back Joe: Love Marty Ray: In Joe: That. Marty Ray: The day. I still love Chicago. My daughter, who was 15, is a massive Chicago fan of your favorite band. Believe Joe: That's Marty Ray: It or not. Joe: Crazy. That's amazing. Marty Ray: And I actually did a show with Bill Champlin, who Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: Was a member of Chicago, and he's the one that wrote Hofmeyr saying, I'm sorry, I just want to stay. I'm a right directly to you. That's weird. And Joe: No, Marty Ray: That feel weird, Joe: No, not at all. Marty Ray: Even though even though when you look, I hope this power doesn't go out from his eyes. You see that. You see his lights blinking. Joe: Oh. Marty Ray: Anyway, I'll try to sum the story up. This has been going on for too. I'm a long winded. I'm like I'm like, oh, Pentecostal preacher. You get your rain, you got to start Joe: Yes, Marty Ray: Yawning or something. You Joe: It's Marty Ray: Got start Joe: All Marty Ray: Yawning Joe: Good. Marty Ray: And let me know. It's like I if I don't hear any Armand's, Joe: No, Marty Ray: I might Joe: This Marty Ray: Go Joe: Is Marty Ray: On forever. Joe: This is perfect. That's what I like, real people, real conversation. Marty Ray: That's all I know how to do, I call myself a conversations, I Joe: I Marty Ray: Don't Joe: Love Marty Ray: Know if Joe: It, Marty Ray: That's a real word, but Joe: That's Marty Ray: I called I Joe: Perfect. Marty Ray: Call myself the anyway, the question was how to get started in music. That's how it all started making videos. I made that video and. After that, I said, OK, I'm going to. I'm going to keep on, I must stay consistent because I told God, look, this is what you want me to do. I'm going to I'm going to start singing, look, putting videos out and you honor and because he honors the effort, if you if he gave you a gift, you don't bury. So I'm just going to keep on doing the same thing I've been doing, putting out videos. And he seems to keep on honoring it. So that's kind of how it's going. Joe: That's cool, and how do you so if you're performing down in a is nationally, so I'm not even going to say I've already stepped on my toes a couple of times in this conversation of saying things that aren't necessarily true. So what's the environment in Nashville musically? Is it still very heavy country or is is there a lot of different varieties? Marty Ray: You know what's weird is I don't play in Nashville, I'm trying to I play the people don't realize it. I'm not really a I'm not saying you, but people don't realize that I'm not a bar band. I'm not against bar band, but I could never do what they do. My hat's off to my golf buddies. That's exactly what they they've done for years. And they play those people play for four hours and go to another gig playing for hours. I can't do that. My voice wouldn't hold up to that. I sang. I only know one way to sing. Like I said, I probably don't do it right. I'm just saying from the heart. And I push notes out really hard so I can give you two hours, maybe three, if you. That's what we mainly do. Private show. So the main thing we do is private gigs and I love doing props. Doesn't have to worry about getting people to buy tickets. So Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: It's really nice. Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: But I do. I have done festivals and the festivals are really cool because it's a bunch of people gathering tickets. So it's just a very scary thing to. To not know what your fan base is in a collective area, Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: If I always tell people, I say if all my fans, I got like one point three million fans across the board, if every one of my fans were local and national, I would probably never leave Nashville because I would not would actually book a show throughout the year. Once a month, it would sell out. And I would then by the end of the year, I could start over again and service the same people that were serving at the beginning of the year, Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: You said. Joe: Yep. Marty Ray: But unfortunately, fortunately, I always say unfortunately, fortunately, these fans are all across the world like I got people to say, and when you come to Scotland, when you come to Ireland, when you come to Europe, when you come to Australia, you've got a big fan base here. And I don't know. I don't I think it's scary to try to book something in another country and then think so. The only way we can do it is if people pay us up front, we say it's up to you. I don't know what my fan base is, but it's up to you like I am now, though, kind of branching out. It's the first time I've ever done this in a while. Where I got to show in Tampa in March, March 11th, and it's the first time that I've ever first time I've ever seen the first time in a long time that I've actually sold tickets to a show. So I'm terrified that this time will show up and there's going to be five people there. You don't know me. And Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: This place Joe: No, Marty Ray: Only Joe: I know. Marty Ray: Holds it only holds 250 people. So, you know, you just never Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Know. You Joe: All right. Marty Ray: Don't you don't you don't know what's going to happen. But which we're going at it, like I said. Got it. Got honors effort. And I'm to put forth the effort even if it's failing. You know, Timberline is. Joe: Demeanor, boots. Marty Ray: No, Timberland, the the producer. Joe: I don't think so. Marty Ray: Joe, I don't think you listen to everything, I think I think I think you think. You think historically I think I say what you. Let me pick out what you actually do on a daily basis right now. But look at you. Let me say I'm getting I'm definitely getting. I know you like Chicago. I know. Joe: Yes. Marty Ray: I know. That's probably on a regular. So I'm thinking like soft rock. Salved, rah, rah, rah, rah. Joe: I do, I listen to everything, I mean, when I put on Aleksa, I say, but I mean, I don't all day I'm working, so I'm not listening to stuff and I'm not staying up with everything. I force Alexa to say, hey, play me. What's the latest play the latest pop station and she'll just play all these things are or whatever. But I mean, I'm I've played everything as a drummer. I've played everything I've played for Jewish weddings and bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs to playing a rock show at the Whiskey A go go in L.A. to playing jazz and then all the rest of the stuff. So. Marty Ray: What do they miss? They play at a juice bar mitzvah. Joe: Oh, man, it's just that same that same beats just like that, it's just like they're dancing. I mean, I played that beat for forty five minutes straight with a tux on and I had to peel the coat off me. It was just crazy. Marty Ray: Wow. So Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: It's like so they don't. They don't have, like, different varieties of music at this stage. It's just that it's almost like I don't know what it is, but it reminds me, when you were doing that, it reminded me of a like a Joe: It's like a poker groove, kind Marty Ray: Yeah, Joe: Of. Marty Ray: Like a polka sound Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Like a trumpet Joe: Yep, yep, yep. Marty Ray: And people dancing and holding and holding their arms and dancing. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Is that kind of what it's like? Joe: That's so during so the one I haven't done a bunch of them, but the one that I did was forty five minutes of that and it was all of the different relatives dancing. And then they lift them up on the chair and they do so literally for forty five minutes to turned around to me and said, just play this groove and do not stop till I tell you. Marty Ray: Kylie, I hope you got paid well. Joe: It was a struggle, just speak, but it was Marty Ray: Man. Joe: Called was fine, so. Marty Ray: The funny part about bringing a Polke is my that when I. Interviewed Darius Rucker, we just talked about that one of the things we ended with, I said, so we need to write what song? Because I was right when he had ship, when he had went from Hootie Joe: So country, Marty Ray: And the Blowfish Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: To going into country Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: Music. And I said, what other one of the genres are trying to write? He said, Man, I'll do anything, man. I said, I mean, you polka we're doing a polka song together. And he laughed and said, Let's do it, man. Never did it. Matter of fact. I had Dariusz number on my phone for four years and. I tried to call it the other day out of the blue to try to get him on this new podcast Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: In the number of change. So I was like, oh, crap. Joe: Well, Marty Ray: So, Joe: That's good. Marty Ray: Yeah. Joe: So let's go. So twenty seven year podcast pioneer, right, you come out with one. And what was the the theme behind it? Was it it was just all musical artist. Marty Ray: No, it was actually the same exact setup as I have now, because I love I love having interesting people on, but the interesting people usually are in time, not always, but they're usually entertainment, meaning. Any realm of entertainment that Joe: Mm Marty Ray: Could Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: Be boxing, that could be in a that could be sports, could be wrestling, it could be comedy, it could be music, it could be active. We've got all of it on this show now that we've that we that we started work. We just had Bert Krischer on last episode. And before that it was before that it was a food review episode. We did we just me, Chris Wallace and Jared Callinan, my buddies, we love food and if you can tell or not, but I kind of like food a little bit. I know. I know I don't look like it, but I do like food. And before that it was. I don't remember who paid for that, but it's like Darryl early, so country artists that you probably know the country. Joe: Right, so Marty Ray: No, Joe: So. Marty Ray: We actually actually also have Vanilla Ice on. Joe: Oh, I saw that now I saw that picture of you and him. Yeah, so that was cool. How was Marty Ray: It Joe: That Marty Ray: Was Joe: Interview? Marty Ray: Very. I was great, we were already buddies, though, Joe: Ok. Marty Ray: Before then, so that's usually how I try to make it, even if I don't know the parts. Like if you go listen to me and Burt talk, you will think that we have known each other for a lifetime, but we really haven't. And I didn't know him other than just being a fan. And I just sent him a message. He hears where he made his mistake and I told him this a comment. I was always commenting funny things on his own, his Instagram post, and he one of them he liked and laughter and he followed me and said, That's where you made your mistake, because you followed me Joe: Right. Marty Ray: As when you followed me. I was already following you. So as soon as you followed me, I said, well, now he's going to see these messages. I'm partisan. Joe: Ok. Marty Ray: So I sent a message. I said, hey, big fan, yada, yada, yada. And it's true. And I said, I'd love to have you on my podcast because, you know, he's a he's actual podcast. That dude that do makes more money podcasting than he does doing a TV show. Joe: Crazy. Marty Ray: So you're talking about a pioneer and he's an actual pioneer in podcast. But anyway, so I'm sending his message. He sent the message. He goes, yeah, I'd love to. And I said, All right, well, how about this such day goes on. We're going make it happen. That's right. So we get closer to that day. And I say, how bout it? No, no response. No response, not cinema next. And then the next week I said I said, how about it? We're coming up on it. And then this just went on and it would be times when it would be a long gap of me. Every month I would Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: Send him a message. I would say, hey, you should be all I love you. Let's do it. Let's make it happen. So and I and then I started getting I started going like, this is a game at this point now. And I told him, I said, this is because this went on for a year. Now, keep in mind, this went on for a whole year, Joe: Wow. Marty Ray: Maybe sending a message, these dams. And I started saying, this is not going to stop. Until you either say yes or no or block me or you're on my show one or the other, and I said, that's it, I'm going. I still love you regardless. But they're saying I'll stop within the next month. I was like, here's your monthly Maadi message. And every now and then he would put LML every now and then. And so eventually we finally got to he finally sent me his phone number. But what I had to do though, at the very last, I actually sent him a list of people we had had on Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: To kind of show him NYSUT. I've had famous people on my show, like, in case you're wondering, I've had famous people, we we didn't just start we've been doing this for a while. We know what we're doing. You know, I don't think you're going to waste your time, if nothing else, to have a good time. And so that's what he sent me, his phone number. And I said I said, what's different now? Because I got a phone number. And and so it happened and it was great. But if you listen to it, anybody else, it's on the Marty Ray project charts. I should say that probably that's the name of the podcast, the motorway project. Yes. Joe: Ok. Marty Ray: If you listen to that, you're going to think and it's funny because he read I told him, I said read some of those messages that I sent you and he read some on the show and he read most of it. We're just busting out laughing because it was so funny thing ever, because he said most people will say, be on my show. And I say, yeah, I'd love to. And he and he I think he really would love to be able to do everybody show, but. He knows realistically that he can't there's no way he could do everything and he said that and he said, but most people, by the time he don't answer back after the first time or the second time, they start getting very, very hateful and mean. Joe: Oh, wow. Marty Ray: And he said he said you never did. He said after a year, he said you never got eight boys. That was always respectful and nice. And it was like still love. He said it was almost like falling in love with your neighbor. So I guess he said, I feel like I know you Joe: That's Marty Ray: Said to Joe: Awesome. Marty Ray: Me, too. It's really cool. Anyway. Joe: Yeah, all Marty Ray: I don't Joe: Right. Marty Ray: Know if I answered your question Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Or not. Joe: And also so what happened with the first podcast, when did that actually end to go away? At some point? Marty Ray: Yeah, because. The podcast, I don't want to do a podcast by myself, meaning what we're doing here, Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: It's OK, it's OK for me to be a guest, but me personally, for instance, if there comes a time. I just enjoyed bantering with a friend Joe: Sure. Marty Ray: And not having the full load on me of the podcast of getting the guest book in Joe: The. Marty Ray: The guest and doing this and that. So back then, that was kind of the same way I had I went through I went through three co-host on that show, and I was the one putting up all the money. I'm the one putting up all the I'm the one actually getting the guest and they're not really helping. But I'm thinking if we can get a little bit of momentum going, they'll they'll start to see this is a very viable thing to do and they'll start picking up some of the load. Never happened. They they all kept quitting or not showing up. And I was actually for four for coast. And after the fourth one by the fourth one, I already did that all about the beard video. Joe: Mm Marty Ray: And Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: I started progressing. And music stars like forget them, like I was trying to help them out, not just myself, but trying to help them out, to bring them up with me. We could have made something great, I believe, if we would if I would have kept doing that podcast, I'd be one of the biggest podcast in the world today. I do believe that. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: No question about Joe: I mean, Marty Ray: It. Joe: Based on when you started, if you mean it's all about consistency, right? If you Marty Ray: A. Joe: Had kept that going, you totally would have been. Marty Ray: I have no doubt in my mind, but, you know, God had other plans because had I had that podcast blew up. That's all I would have done, I would not have probably never would have pushed music too hard, to be honest, Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: Because my dream, even from childhood, my dream has always been. To have my own talk show. You know, maybe like a radio, like Howard Stern type Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Talk show, Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: And so I said, if I know for a fact, I said because God knows better than we do. He knew that if if I if that would have blew up, I would have just said, forget music. That's too hard. That's just too hard. Joe: That's interesting, Marty Ray: That's a. Joe: I hear you. Marty Ray: Yeah. Joe: Yeah, well, so OK, so when did that podcast end about Marty Ray: I said, I'm horrible at times Joe: Was Marty Ray: And Joe: It right when Marty Ray: Tamla. Joe: That video hit? Marty Ray: No, I think we still went. Maybe a couple of months after that, but at that point, I was I was literally trying to carry the load of the podcast and be consistent in making music videos. So I just said. Nobody, because nobody cared like me, nobody had the same drive or passion about the podcast that I did, so I was like, man, this is just crazy. I'm trying I can't do all this by myself. And so I believe it's about a couple of months after my like. I don't know the exact dates. Might not have to be honest, we I'm so bad with dates. Joe: Ok. Marty Ray: I know that. It might not even have been I might not even had the two million video yet, but I might have had because it all started on Facebook, not YouTube, like you can't even go back in the timeline of Facebook, YouTube and go, Joe: A. Marty Ray: Ok, look at this date and figure it out. Because if you look at the date when Ice Ice Baby was posted on YouTube, it was actually posted to my actual Facebook profile, my personal profile, because that's all I had at the time Joe: All right. Marty Ray: When I was making these videos because they were getting so they were having success on my personal not not a page, not anything else. And so that's where it actually first went viral, that both both videos went viral. Their first. Did I lose you? Joe: Yes, for a second target. Marty Ray: Did you still have audio? Joe: Yep. Marty Ray: Ok. Anyway, so, yeah, but a. So I was actually pushing everything from my personal Facebook profile, so I don't know the exact date, but I think the show actually ran for about a year and a half, I believe. And then and then I called it quits, so. Joe: Ok, so then so you have this video and this video you say got over two million views. Marty Ray: In a day, yeah, we Joe: In Marty Ray: Posted Joe: A day. Marty Ray: It, I posted it. That morning, just just a random post like any other thank you, don't you don't think about what's the best time to post, Joe: Mm Marty Ray: What's Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: The best strategy here? You don't think about any of that back when you first start and you just like, hey, I got this simple post you don't understand. Algorithm's probably never heard the word of the enemy. So you just post a video like I did and I posted it and it's like a set it and forget it like an infomercial right now, just opposing it. And my buddy went to Nashville because at the time I didn't live in Nashville. I lived in Memphis and we drove to Nashville. He was doing an acting audition and. We got all the way down to Nashville. He did his audition. We're headed back. He starts getting all these text and people are saying, and I've seen you in that video, it's crazy, that video. He goes, oh, OK, cool. You know, thinking Joe: Right. Marty Ray: That Joe: Sure. Marty Ray: Thinking that is because those are those are people that know him. And he was like, when I talk to them a long time ago, that type of thing. And that's where he should. And so eventually after a few texts, he he went Facebook, a lot of the videos, brochures, videos that this video is over a million views there. And I said to what? Joe: It's Marty Ray: A Joe: Crazy. Marty Ray: Million views and then I pulled it up. I pulled it up and I said, oh, wow, this is crazy. So then I text my buddy Jared who? Who does filming with me? He didn't do that video. I don't want to put that evil on him because he was definitely. Way more prolific at it than me at that time, way before me, and while now I can do a pretty good video by myself, like I just released a music video for my new single that I released in the last year for the new album called Picture. And I did that whole thing, directed it, wrote it and did the whole thing myself. It might not be the best in the world, but it's better than the most, you know. Joe: Yeah, no cold. Marty Ray: So anyway, I called Jared, I said, hey, man, you look at the video. I said, you need to check it out, I said it's over a million views. He goes, he goes really? And he went and looked and he couldn't find it. And I sent him a link. He goes, Wow. That's incredible. That is nuts, and I said I said, well, we made it. We made it, and at that point, you don't you have no clue what's coming from a viral video, you Joe: Mm Marty Ray: Don't know. Joe: Hmm. Right. Marty Ray: And I didn't really make it from that video, but that was a star. Joe: Sure. Marty Ray: You can have a viral video right now and not. Never, never yield any kind of profit from it or anything like that, you know, but it's what you do after that viral video that makes you profit Bishop Marketing. Well, that's that's a marketing tip for anybody listening. Don't don't focus on your own. Your first viral video focus on the plan after that first viral video, because that viral video, if you stay consistent and you're getting better and better, it will come no matter what it will come. I've had it happen many, many times and it's just from me being consistent. It's not because anything that any song that I put out or any video that I put out is any better. It's just because it hit at the right time, in the right way. And it was what did I do that every time a video goes viral, you have to have a plan to capitalize on that wave because that wave is going to be like here and it's going to come down. Joe: Mm Marty Ray: It Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: Happens Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: All the time. So anyway, so that was kind of where it all began. Right, there was that video and then I was trying to be consistent, so I'm sure you want to talk about the anelli sort of kind of some of what how that happened. So then I was posting videos, try to be consistent. And then I missed two weeks of posting on. This was still on my list, was still on my original Facebook profile. Joe: Not even Marty Ray: Now, Joe: On YouTube Marty Ray: This time Joe: Yet. Marty Ray: I. Not even. I mean, I Joe: That's Marty Ray: Don't even remember Joe: Crazy, Marty Ray: If I had the YouTube set up yet, Joe: That's Marty Ray: I Joe: Even. Marty Ray: Don't know if I had it set up yet, Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: But. Joe: That's. Marty Ray: I think I might have set the channel up after the all about that beard. I really do. I think I might have done it, but I didn't post anything there besides some old concert videos originally. I believe that's what happened. And that was that was a little while after because I didn't even think about it. I don't know why, but I thought, well. And I'm I'm I'm trying to do this on Facebook, this is where it's at right now. That's Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: Where I was like I was under the nails. I was like Facebook personal profile. These are all hit. They all had every video I posted seemed to have had tens of thousands of views, which was crazy to me at the time. And I was like, this is great. I got I got a two man view video, two million plus video, and I got some one hundred thousand somewhere. Two hundred. Some ten, some twenty. It was it was a good it was a good time. And then I didn't even realize Joe: You. Marty Ray: I had set up a Facebook page Martinrea project and I didn't have to check it, though. I never checked it, didn't realize that because like I said, everything was happening on the personal. Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: And when I posted that it was three o'clock in the morning and I hadn't been consistent and I made a post with the Vanilla Ice Accoustic. And I said in that post, I said. Listen, I'm sorry I missed a couple of weeks. I don't know if anybody Zoom care about this or not, but here's the way I've been doing. Ice, ice, baby. I'll be all like it if you do. Great, if you know there'll be another one soon. There's kind of like that. And it was kind of a throwaway video. And that's another that's another testament to just put every idea out there, because you never know which one is going to be the one that put you on stage with Vanilla Ice. Right. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: That's what's great. You Joe: Right. Marty Ray: Never know. And Vanilla Ice can be anything for anybody. I don't have to be literally Vanilla Ice, but opposed to that. And that video went bananas when it went next level. So then after that video posted, were people going and subscribing to my YouTube channel, like in my Facebook page by the masses because they took that. And so then after a while after Bam Margera, he posted it, world star, hip hop posted it. It got posted all over, all over the Internet, all over social media and moderate project for a while was everywhere. I was trending on on iTunes, like number two on iTunes, trending right below some. This has happened twice, actually trending right below as independent artists. Nobody, nobody behind you, nobody helping you besides God and your fans trending number two on our terms. And I screenshot of that because while for them it might be that it happens every now and then when they when that label gives a good push, got nobody pushing me but myself and Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: Like I said, and got in my face. So that's it. So it was like, any time that happens for me, it's a real treasure. So it's a real treasure. It's almost like winning a Grammy for me Joe: Yes, Marty Ray: Because Joe: Sure. Marty Ray: I look at that. But anyway, so that got that video has hundred. Well over one hundred plus million views on Facebook. Yeah, if you Joe: Is. Marty Ray: Add every every video together, everyone, if you can find them, all people are still still in that video opposing it and going viral and building their own channels when their own page is off of that video Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: And some of them don't even tag me. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: So Joe: That's Marty Ray: And I hate that crap. Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: Yeah, someone don't tag me. Joe: Yeah, that's not right, Marty Ray: I dropped Joe: So Marty Ray: My ears out. Joe: It's all right, so I have a question to sort out, just the sort of create the foundation of who is Martinrea today. What does Martinrea doing day in and day out? What is you what is your main focus? You know, because then I still want to talk about the marketing stuff. And then I want to also let you talk a little bit more about the podcast if you want. But I also, you know, so it's it's it's still those three things. But I want to know, like, who are you today? What is your main focus? And then we can branch off to talk about what you're doing on that podcast and then what you're still doing marketing wise with, you know, whatever you're posting and then what you're musically trying to do. What are your goals for that? Marty Ray: Well, today, I do the same thing that I've always done at any any opportunity that comes along. Entertaining and I'm will tell you a lot of times this actually happened recently. A lot of times they pay off and it's there's a scripture that lives that used to live on my phone, my, my, my, my wallpaper or whatever, lock screen wallpaper, whatever it's called. And it was it says a man's gift making room for him and bring it to him before. Great man. That's literally my life. I promise you that there's no secret that I have other than putting forth the effort and continually making sure that even if I get behind a little that I'm going to steal, I'm not going to give up. I'm never going to quit. Because I think the only difference I think if you anybody can see this, if you read the biographies and you watch biopics, you're going to see that every success story, the only difference that separates the successful people from the unsuccessful people are the successful people never stopped. They never gave up. So when they were digging in that for that diamond, they didn't stop digging until they found the diamond. Marty Ray: So that's kind of where I'm at now, where I want to be. My goal is has been for a while, has been to get to get to where I'll have a million fans on one platform or another. And I don't really care too much which one that is. But I think that's a big milestone to say there's a million people in one place. Are saying, I like what he does so much that I want to I want to see everything he does. So that's that's kind of and it's not just numbers for me. It's not just the people aren't just numbers to me. Everybody that like or commented or has ever watched any of my videos, every view that's a human that's a soul to me. And I love those people when they know that if anybody is a fan of mine, they've for any time, any, any, any, any span of time at all, they've probably had a reaction or a comment that they've left because I answer in the beginning, I was answering every single comment. I was just days and days I would spend Joe: I Marty Ray: Going Joe: Know it's. Marty Ray: Through answering comments. And now I can't do that. Now I can't answer every single one. But I still get a lot of when as long as it notifies me, I still get all those comments. And and even though now a lot of people that's like a strategy that people use in social media. And I hate that it's a strategy. I hate that it even is part of because I didn't I never knew that until recently that it was years before I knew that actually by me commenting on people, by commenting everybody as everybody. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I love you. I thank you so much for listening. I didn't know that that was helping me on the algorithm. I didn't know that. I was just genuinely so thankful that these people were listening to my music because I had people when I was growing up tell me this would never happen, that I would never that I would never have an effect. Some people told me I couldn't sing at all. And I believe that for a long time. And some people said, you can sing, but it's a pipe dream to think that you can do music professionally. That's never going to happen. That's crazy. That's a very visceral world out there. And only few make it so. To see all these people when they start commenting, it just warms my heart even to this day. If I could answer everyone, even today, I would. But I got a family, so I got to I got to spend some time with my family, too, you know. Marty Ray: But as far as where I want to be, I want this podcast. Ideally, my ideal situation would be for this podcast to be earning enough money to where I can not only make a living myself doing that alone, but my co-host, Chris Wallum and the producer and anybody else that we bring in with the team for everybody to be making a great living doing that, because it's a blast. It's a blast doing that and it's fun. And then also with my music, my goal is to now that I started to see that there's people that are independent and they. Have won Grammys independently, that would just be crazy, man, for me, for my fans. To catapult me up to a place that's what's a project, you know, it's not it's not moderate's margrave project because we're all part of the project. So as a project, we all are lifting this project up to where an independent guy with nobody behind him truly, truly independent in the truest sense of the word. Wins a Grammy like that would be nuts, right, and I know that could happen, but. And I know that I see that happening at some point if the world goes on and they don't get crazy or even crazier. I could see that happening for sure at some some some time down the future. The last thing I would say in my head is not that I'm not thankful for all the success that. These covers have done for me, like there's several videos on YouTube that are that are way shoot at the sound and get out, Joe: No. Marty Ray: My battery is low and it keeps it keeps popping up that low battery. Joe: Oh, Marty Ray: Anyway, Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: There's several people I mean, there's several covers that are on YouTube and performed have outperformed Ice Ice Baby at this point. And my my real dream and goal is to have one of my originals be what I'm known for Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: More than any cover, Joe: Sure. Marty Ray: You see. And the real fans, the real true Martinrea projectors, the projectors, as I call them, and myself, even we're all projectors is they they actually prefer the originals, you know, and that's that's how you know, that they're that they're because most people don't listen to the originals. They don't even. And that's OK. That's fine. I need those people too, Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: Because and I'm thankful. And I've had people say that certain songs have saved their lives that aren't my original. So I have no animosity towards the covers. I'm just saying my goal was to be known by my own music at some Joe: Right, Marty Ray: Point. And Joe: Right. Marty Ray: If that never happens, it never happens. It was still a good life and it was a good career. Joe: That's cool, Marty Ray: So Joe: So Marty Ray: That's about it. Joe: So that's cool. So your your your main focuses are on the podcast, the new podcast, which what is the name of the podcast? Marty Ray: The Marty Ray Project Chat's Joe: Perfect. OK, Marty Ray: At. Joe: And then writing music and performing is the other piece of what you're doing. Marty Ray: Right, Joe: Ok, and Marty Ray: Yeah. Joe: When you perform, it's mostly for private events or corporate events, you're not doing this out in Nashville at the bar scene or things like that. Marty Ray: No, and but I do respect those guys, I don't know. But listen and thank Marty's bad talking people that go to the bars because I stopped playing the bars. That's not me. I'm not some of my closest friends do that. Matter of fact, the guy that plays with most of the time, C.J. Wylder, that's that's what his whole career is, man. Joe: Mm Marty Ray: And. Joe: Hmm. Marty Ray: But I'm not a guess that I just can't do it. My Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: Hat's off to them, though. I Joe: You Marty Ray: Just Joe: Know, Marty Ray: Cannot do that. Joe: I've I've seen it where I was in Austin visiting and I spent a week there with just being able to go see music all the time, and I would literally see the same guy three times in one day. I'd see him like at 11 o'clock, set somewhere, and then later on at a dinner time and then later on that night at like one of the other clubs. It was insane. Marty Ray: Really, especially if you're a singer, like if you're if you're playing, it's not as bad, but if you're singing and you're singing eight hours Joe: Yep. Marty Ray: And you're really giving it all you got. But most of them, I'll be honest, most of them aren't giving it all they got every time. Joe: Right. Marty Ray: Because when you look into a bar, nothing I hate about bars and I'm not saying I haven't played a bar have and I will play a bar if they pay me to play that bar, Joe: Right. Marty Ray: I got to play anywhere I play anywhere in the world. If somebody somebody will pay me to play, I'll play. I don't care where it is. That's what it is. Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: But they got they got they're going to pay for me to come out there and play. I'm not going to come out there and hope that I get money. I'm not going to come out there and play for two hundred fifty bucks or 300 bucks. Not going to happen because the difference is I'm not knocking people to do that either. I'm just saying the difference is I'll be better off posting a YouTube video because I might. That video might go viral. I'll make way more than that. I'm just doing a YouTube video, Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: So or pushing a podcast or or doing a private show or you know, it's just there's a myriad of things that I could do rather than play a show for three dollars. And and I think I think everybody only has so much life in their vocals if their singer. I don't think that lasts forever. If you if you really sing with heart and soul, I don't believe it goes forever. I believe that because, I mean, you get old, people get old. So I don't want to waste I don't want to waste my time. I hate to say it this way, but I don't want to waste my money, the life of my vocals on shows. That are. People in a bar that are not even listening to me and I'm saying Joe: I Marty Ray: Like these, Joe: Totally get it. Marty Ray: Like they're not even listening most of the time they're in there, they're drinking and they're partying and they're looking at each other. They didn't come there for me. They're just at the bar. Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: It's different, though, when they come for you. I did a show in Nashville at Kimbro and we actually sold tickets to the show. You know, that was a bar. But all these people came to see me. So we were all in this room, just packed in his room. And but there wasn't anybody blabbering back and forth and and they were drinking, but they weren't talking because they were there to see me because they were fans. But if you go into a random place and you start singing, they don't care where you are, you know, and that's the kind of bothers me. And I don't know how I don't know how people do it. I really don't I don't know how my buddy like Chris Schrader, he does it all the time and you just get. No. You just get no feedback. Joe: Yes. Marty Ray: Yeah, it's almost like you're playing for nothing. It's like you're they might as well be playing music on the jukebox. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: And I don't like that Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: I'm sorry, I just don't like. Joe: I get it. So let's talk real quick, I don't want to hold you, you know, Marty Ray: Oh, Joe: We're Marty Ray: You're good. Joe: We're close, but I don't want to hold out. I want your phone to run out. I want your electric to go so Marty Ray: Yeah, Joe: Soon. Marty Ray: I know. Joe: So here's the question. So we got the podcast where you originated from with that and then the new one. And then we have the music stuff that you're writing and performing covers and doing your original stuff. Talk to me about the marketing. What all of that is that you doing whatever marketing that takes place currently. Marty Ray: That's all me, unfortunately, Joe: Ok, Marty Ray: That's Joe: So it's Marty Ray: All Joe: All Marty Ray: Me. Joe: Social media, all the stuff that you're doing on YouTube, Facebook, are you doing Instagram and Twitter and are you doing any funny Tic-Tac videos or any sort of stuff on Tic-Tac? Marty Ray: I'm everywhere. Anywhere there's a there's an eyeball Joe: Ok. Marty Ray: Or an ear, Marty, right projects there and it's always the same at moderate project everywhere. Joe: Awesome. Marty Ray: But yeah, I'm I'm always at this point in my career, I know the game. So I have to as far as what I say, I know the game. I know that I have to be consistent on every platform. Now, I also know. That you never want to post the same content the same day to every platform across the board, and I also know you don't want to use a posting service to post across the board either because their algorithms don't like that. So I kind of know a few things at this point about the algorithms. I do know now that by answering your comments, it helps your algorithm. It calls you a conversation starter and now keep keeping people on the platform. I don't encourage people to answer comments because of that reason. I encourage people to answer comments because they should be answering these people that care about them. Joe: I love Marty Ray: They Joe: That Marty Ray: Have, Joe: Man, Marty Ray: Yeah. Joe: I love that that's the authenticity that is winning you over, because you can just tell that's what it's about for you. If you love the people following you, you're authentic about it. And even like when you talk about that night that where you just threw up that video, it's like I'm not sure if you guys are going to like this, but I had fun do it. And here it is that's Marty Ray: You Joe: Being Marty Ray: Have a. Joe: Authentic. Marty Ray: It's all it's really the only way I know to be, and I think I think people know that I got nothing to hide, that I'm. I'm pretty transparent, you know, a lot of people, when they get into music, they won't talk about Jesus. For instance, you never go catch me, not that about Jesus, because that's who I serve. Right. Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: So a lot of people won't mention his name and all these things ain't going to happen. Not with me. And I got people I got fans that are atheists. I got fans that are agnostic. I got fans all across the board. I don't judge them, but they know what I am. There's just like I know what they are. Joe: Mm hmm. Marty Ray: There's nothing wrong with me knowing. But the minute that somebody goes, I'm going to I'm going to bend my morals or bend to let people know who I really am because I'm scared they might not like me. That's definitely not authentic. If you're if you're somebody in your house and into your fans or somebody else because you're online, that's not authentic. That's that's a lie, man. I'm not living that lie, so I won't do it. And again, if anybody, because this is taught in every in every workshop, it's social media workshop now. Now, back in the day, there wasn't I don't know if there was a workshop when I was when I first started, I was after this comment. Now, that will tell you, be sure your action, your comics take time out of the day. Answer your comments. That's going to boost your boost for an hour. And I'm sitting here thinking, how dare any of these people? How dare any of these people answer a comment because it's boosting their algorithm. Right, because. I wish that anybody that was doing that had that mindset, I wish. OK, you're not getting no more comments until you learn to appreciate that. Are people are taking the time to actually comment on your video because they like it? And I actually comment to the people that don't like it. I say, hey, God bless you. I still love you. Thanks for listening. Maybe we can get you on the next one and that's the truth. Joe: That's awesome. Marty Ray: And then most of the time they go, oh, man, I never thought you'd see that. I'm sorry, man. I really do like it. I'm like, you know, and you're like, why are you why are you bashing it then hours. Then Joe: Right. Marty Ray: It's OK if you don't like it. I'm not trying to make you like it if you don't. But if you really do like it. But you said you didn't. What the heck are you doing. What's the point? Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: Because there's times when. There's many, many times where, especially on YouTube. YouTube is a violent place and the comments sometimes now, not necessarily in my comments, like I've been blessed with mainly 90 percent positive comments. But there's a few times when people say things like how many just horrible things. And I will come back and I say, hey, man, I appreciate you stopping by. I love you. And I don't know what you're dealing with right now. You're probably dealing with something, but you're not going to hurt my feelings. God bless you. And I pray that your life gets better. But I will say at the end of that, I say, listen, I want to I want to just post something to you. Somebody like me. I got the thickest skin you could ever have. I said, but there's a lot of young people on this and on this on this website on YouTube that are really putting themselves out there. And if you go to their page or their channel and you leave a comment like that, you very well could be the final straw that pushes them to a place they shouldn't go. I said be mindful that life and death is in your tone. Not just not just words that people aren't reading, life and death is in it. So I have told people that many times Joe: And Marty Ray: And. Joe: That's powerful, that's that's really cool. Marty Ray: That scripture, that's where they make the credit, as the Bible says, life and death is in the song and you see it, we live that man. We see that people say sticks and stones, never sticks and stones may break my bones, but words never hurt me. That's not true. Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: You'd rather be hit by a stick than these words, man, because this Joe: Oh, Marty Ray: Up here, Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: This right here is forever, though sticks that you might break a bone and it heals. This right here can never heal it if somebody don't let it, you know what I mean? So anyway, I ain't trying to preach. Don't give me. I told you I'm like a preacher. You got you've got yourself Joe: So Marty Ray: Something. Joe: It's all good, but I'm loving this, so this is something that I don't want to I don't want to. It's important for me to get this aspect of what you think about this. But I started a new since I'm a booking agent and I'm a musician myself, I used to play seven days a week in doubles on the weekends. I've seen it. All right. So Marty Ray: Hmm, Joe: But now I'm in a Marty Ray: That's Joe: Position Marty Ray: All. Joe: Where I can employ a bunch of musicians to play at various venues and resorts here in Phoenix and Scottsdale. And with what happened with this pandemic, I've seen just like lives being crushed. Right, because they there's nothing happening. So I just started this new venture called Making Money, Making Music. And the whole goal behind it is just to educate anybody. And it's not just musicians. It could be a sound engineer, a producer, songwriter, a lyricist. I don't care anybody that's in this entertainment realm that we're in to learn to diversify what they offer, that they have more than one talent and that talent could be used to generate revenue. And whether they're on YouTube teaching someone else how they book their band or how they write a song or how they figure out what a lyric would go well with. I don't care what it is or how you mix this particular album. Show me what you know, how you got those sounds, what Mike do you use on the kick drum or whatever? But my goal behind it was to try to educate as many people that are willing to watch and listen to either the webinars or the master classes or the video or whatever. It doesn't matter. What have you been doing to to sustain yourself during this time with the pandemic being around? Marty Ray: Well, fortunately for me, and I know there's a lot of people it's sad to see. These musicians that a lot of them have just given up. Fortunately for me, my whole career is only a career because of online. So since I was blessed on line first and not offline first. I was already geared toward that and I was already making money in that realm, so where it did, it did. I'm not saying I didn't suffer, but it was very, very minuscule, what I saw, the financial things that I suffered, because, as I said, I only I've only ever really done private shows. And and the majority the bulk of my money came from and still does come from music sales streams and YouTube and now Facebook. So I'm going to change this, Mike, because my phone's about to die. Going to say might not sound as good, but I don't want it in the interview, just abruptly saying, Joe: Yeah, no worries, Marty Ray: Can you still hear me? Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: Ok, let me turn this let me turn this up. I'm so sorry about all these technical difficulties. Joe: It's all good, man. Marty Ray: They do their. Joe: I'm here. Marty Ray: You're very low, but I'm going to go that you can not not can you hear me? Good. Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: It's just amazing. Anyway, I can I can I can make I can finish the interview, though. So the only thing that I did differently was. US instead of doing it, because I'm never have done like a live concert full on concert online, so the real thing where this is a word, if you're are you in a clubhouse? Joe: I am. Marty Ray: Yeah, we need to follow General Caldwell. But this is a word they throw around so often. But it's a good word, but it's so overused on there. I would never say it on clubhouse, but I must say it here. I pivoted. Right. Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Heard you heard Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: That clubhouse, right, Kivett? Joe: I'm guilty of saying it, I sometimes it's the only word I can think of, Marty Ray: It's Joe: So I Marty Ray: Every Joe: Took. Marty Ray: Time I hear it, I go. Oh, Coble's, but outside of clubhouse, it sounds better, but it's like everybody a clubhouse is trying to they're saying that because everybody's saying so it's weird. I never say Tacloban's, but it's a real word. And it's a really it's a really good thing that people need to learn to do is they need to learn how to adjust. So I just did. Slightly my strategy to wear when I wasn't able to do private shows and things like that, I started doing a full on of concerts and getting donations. So then could my Venmo and my PayPal and cash. You have stuff like that and. To be honest. Some of those shows, some of those shows just killed it, man, I mean, really killed as far as financially. And so. I still want to do that very same thing that we were doing one a month every month, but I haven't done one in three months now, I'm really due for one, but. Probably won't have one. I'm going to I'm trying to get the show at Tampa, trying to figure out how to make that one as well so I can kind of double dip Joe: Yeah. Marty Ray: And. Do a show for my online fans and for people in person, I think that'd be really cool if I could figure that out, but if not, it is what it is. But that's that's kind of the only that was the biggest drastic change that I made was actually doing full on live shows, even some with live bands online. And I would I would encourage everybody that's in music, in any part of music to embrace social media with everything. We don't matter which one. Start with just one. But be everywhere, be available everywhere, but start with just one where you're putting time and effort into it weekly. And I would say everybody should start with tick tock if you want to. My suggestion, because tick tock is anybody and everybody can go viral on tick tock. You don't have to have followers you have that can go viral from a video and have no followers. So I would suggest everybody utilize that while you can. So and clubhouse, if you're able to get on clubhouse. I've made some phenomenal connections on clubhouse. Joe: Me, too. It's Marty Ray: You Joe: Amazing. Marty Ray: Wouldn't believe. I mean, just I just did a room. We did a room welcoming of I brought up Vanilla Ice onto the app and I did a welcome Vanilla Ice to Clubhouse Room. And it got like almost three thousand people in that room Joe: Wow. Marty Ray: Because of him, not because of me. But it was just crazy how many people were sitting there listening to us, our conversation just like this one. So that's really the only thing I can think of. That really changed for me. Joe: Ok, cool, so so you did have the advantage because you were hip to the whole online thing and that's how you had started, that's where you found a lot of success. And when this happened, you didn't have to change much about what you were doing. But that's what I'm trying. You know, like if you have the advice you just gave is exactly what I was hoping you would do, is say this is what you need to do if because I see a lot of musicians that all they did was depend on gigging. And now, you know, I hear the horror stories from them and I can't there's nothing I can do until them till the work comes back, you know. So luckily, I'm lucky five of my resorts have come back. So I'm now giving a lot of workout. But I, I have more musicians that I have work for. So, like, everyone gets Marty Ray: Nicole. Joe: Like one or two dates a month where before I had all the corporate stuff and I had so much work, I was looking for people. So I'm glad I'm glad you brought that up about, you know, getting active on Social and I club clubhouse. I've heard it more times than I can even count that every expert on there kept saying tick tock is the place to start. Marty Ray: It is I'm up to almost 300000 followers there. And I haven't I don't know how long I've been on there, but I have been on there too terribly long, maybe it has been a while. Like I said, I'm over timelines, but just being can see if you just if you just post consistently on their hash tags, no hash tags, trans, no trans, you just never know. You never know what could anything could really go viral. And it's it's a it's kind of like the Wild West out there. Just start Joe: Yeah, Marty Ray: Shooting, Joe: Get. Marty Ray: Start shooting and see what happens. Joe: Yep, all right, Marty Ray: Now Joe: We'll Marty Ray: You Joe: Call. Marty Ray: Say you're there. How did you how did you how did you pivot? Joe: Well, I just I was lucky that I had such a great year in twenty nineteen that I had a bunch of money put away that I could just sustain myself off of what I saved. And then for me is where does this might sound when the pandemic hit? I needed the break. I had been going so hard. So I always wanted to start a podcast and literally I started it like the moment the the world went silent. I was like, OK, now I have a chance. So I'm going to start my podcast. And then my partner, Joel and I, we've been together for twenty years. We started a YouTube channel and we just did whatever we felt like doing. And all our recent episodes was a 28 day trip that we took from here, going to Hilton Head and then running a car in

You can find out more on her website. Chana Ewing dot com. That is C h a n a e w i n g dot com. Welcome, Chana. [00:01:57] Thank you for having me, Patricia. [00:01:59] Absolutely. I'm excited to unpack everything that you do. I know you've got a like of several different areas that you work within. And I also look forward to unpacking your book, which was a very unexpected surprise when I was doing research on you for everyone listening. A quick roadmap of today's podcast. I will read a quick bio on Chana. But before I do that, we will first look at unpacking and looking at her academic history, as well as early professional career that brought her to where she is now. And then we will look at unpacking her different endeavors, namely Chana's book an ABC of equality. Then we will look at her company titled Gini. And the interesting pivoting point that is at now and then, we will also look towards another endeavor that I will have her explain and enumerate on called Little Big Girl and Company, which is based out of New York City. Then we'll turn our efforts towards looking at goals that China has for all of her endeavors, as well as personally for the next one to three years. This is an area that has been changing for every business owner globally. We'll wrap everything up with advice that China may have for those of you who are looking to get involved in some of her endeavors or perhaps emulate some of her amazing success. A quick bio on Chana. Before I start peppering her with questions. Chana Ginelle Ewing is cultural entrepreneur, marketer and author, working across films, books, retail and tech. She is the author of the bestselling book an ABC of Equality with illustrations by Pollina Morgan, published by Quarto in 2019, introducing identity and social justice concepts to children. She believes that identity is a lever to pull to unlock human potential and entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is an opportunity to make dents that move culture forward. She's currently pivoting GENI to maximize value for diverse cust consumers and small business owners. I kind of dropped that a little a little bait for everyone to listen in the beginning because I love companies that are in transition and pivoting moments. [00:04:02] I think it's so fun and I want to go into that. [00:04:05] But before we get there, I'm hoping you can draw just a quick description of your academic background and early professional life that brought you to the launching of Little Big Girl and Jenie and writing your book. Yeah. So I'm going to start earlier in my academic background because I think the sort of weaves together nicely around like my professional interests over the letter. It has since graduated anthologies over the last 50 or so. But very early in life, like I think third or fourth grade, I've learned about this word called screenwriters likes screenwriting without my mother, like, you know, who are the people? And I don't know what how well, what was it or the people writing the movies, you know, like I was whatever reason. I realized that I was watching something that was constructive and that fascinated me. And I wanted to figure out how I could become a screenwriter. So that was kind of like from being a very young child in elementary school. [00:05:13] I got just. Got onto that cap of like, you want to create content, you know, like that was my goal. And so that was sort of the driving force throughout, like, you know, middle school and high school and then eventually college, where I majored in African-American studies and media studies at the University of Virginia. So and then, you know, while I was at you, B.A., it was like really like a focus on developing my storytelling craft. And I thought that I was going to become a director of a writer director. [00:05:56] And that was that was going to be my professional career. And so the other pieces that I knew that I wanted to live in New York, because if you want to, you know, want to work in the film and television industry, it's like either two spaces, New York or L.A.. And I just knew that I was a New York girl. You know, Slainte L.A. was not going to be for me. I'm from the East Coast. I'm from Boston. I love big cities. I love being in a city. So, you know, New York is going to be west, establish my career. So I came to New York on about two thousand five. And this is before. And the reason why this is important, because I think the today's landscape around filmmaking is a lot different. Bulik, right. Right. Then it was still more the traditional filmmaking trajectory, like where you would be become a P.A. and then, you know, work your way up that, you know, pick a production supervisor or manager, you know, like you kind of work up the production track, like professionally and then somehow figure out how to create your, you know, become a director or a writer on the side because it wasn't a real, like, clear professional through line for writing directing where you could get paid for it. Right. It's always like prete Kickstarter and priede like. Yeah, indigo go and pre like like let's let's do it yourself. You know, it was right when that when, where people were still figuring how do they you know, if you weren't independently wealthy and you didn't have huge connections. Like how does a 20 something year old, you know, make our first film. And so without going to school. So I did a lot of that. That production work in New York realized very quickly that I did not like being a producer. [00:07:47] And like at all, like I described no desire for work. [00:07:53] And then also, like, coincidently like as I was doing the, like, full time job piece. So, you know, you could do production work over the weekend. And then I had a full time job. And one of the last full time jobs there has was at McKinsey and Co., which is the largest global management consulting firm in the world. Let me even though I went to UBS. Like I was a creative at heart. I didn't know anything about McKinsey until I got there, like what a big deal was to be there. Right. And I was an executive assistant and their media entertainment practice. So it was like, just by coincidence, I'm in the media entertainment practice. I want to be a media entertainment, but I want to be in media and saying it from the creative end. But I'm in the I'm now working for folks who are thinking about the business. Right. And they're thinking large clients like Viacom and Disney. And you're thinking about, you know, media and entertainment from a global perspective. And I'm serving the partners who are doing this work. So I'm going to look fantastic. Lives on like what the industry that I want to be in. But as a creator. And so I'm like, this is really like this is really interesting. And another thing that was interesting to me was that, like the partners maybe a few years older than me, you know, like they were like, you know, my eight needs. You know, I was like, OK, this is interesting. These talks are like, you know, using their brains. You've met creativity. And so with this man's results, there is some creativity there. And, you know, they're they're basically getting paid to use their minds. And I thought that that was like who had not even he didn't even know that was even a possibility as a career, you know? So when the like, recession happened in 2009, he got laid off. And I always tell people this is really interesting because we're in the middle of another recession right now. Like laid off. And I mean, this is this is a very privileged perspective to have. But being laid off was a game changer for me because things happened as a result of me being laid off. I got a severance package, severance package. I was I had unemployment. So for the first time in my life, I had a little. Money that I didn't necessarily have to like Ryan for, you know. So that meant that I had some space to think about what it is I want to do. Right. And so that. So that's what I'm usually like with you. You grew up working class. You grew up without, like, you know, someone being able to just, like, pay for you to explore. You know, it was like that was my moment to actually explore what are my true interests. And so in that year, after being laid off, I spent it really learning about entrepreneurship, learning about basaltic, because I had got like that entrepreneurial, even those in a company, you know, the way that that company is shaped. It's like, you know, there's a small teams that are going out and supporting other businesses. So I was like I was like that that was bit by that. Like, I got that book. It was like, OK. What is it that I know that I could serve other people with? And what I know really well is storytelling. And so I that's where I decided to develop Little Big Girl. And it was like our first initial piece was we were going to use the hero's journey like this, really simple. We were going to utilize the hero's journey to help small businesses tell their stories online. And that was it. Like, you know, we were this was like 2009, 2010. Everyone felt like I need to be on social media. How do I being social. Yeah. All right. Well, you can create a narrative around your business and connect with your consumers using the hero's journey as a as a kind of for the day. [00:11:57] Let me grab you really quickly right there just to get some logistics out of the way for our nerdy listeners. So 2009, 2010, a little big girl launches. [00:12:06] Were you the sole founder? Did you get any funding or did you bootstrap with that severance package? And and who were some of your first clients? [00:12:17] Yes. So much of no funding. It was a services company. I think, you know, I don't think it does not a lot of like a funny resources for a service based company. Right. But I bootstrap with the money that I that I had from my severance and a portal to get out of my for one care. Pretty good. Hey, I was like, I don't know, late 20s at the time. Feels like, oh, I don't make up for this at some point, you know, like of like, you know, just thinking about like how I can get going. You know. Yeah. And I your first client. [00:12:56] It was the was this entrepreneurial program that I was in. So I was in this program called Ladies Who Lunch. And I don't know they're familiar with them, but they are. I don't know. They're as active anymore. But essentially they were at that time, there was like a global organization that taught women how to become entrepreneurs. And they had like this membership community online. And so we like seeing the opportunity. I was like, well, you all have this great community. The social media doesn't seem to be as tight between the online community, the offline events and those social media handles like, you know, would you what would you be open to me? You know, coming you guys coming on board as like your digital marketing strategist? You know, these guys would be my first client. I'll give you a huge discount in order to come on and come on board as my first client. And they said, yes, they went for it. And I mean, the insight is that like which I feel like I don't take a lot of credit for it now, but like, I maybe I kind of knew it organically. But that was a really good move, because starting with a organization that has a bunch of other entrepreneurs that they serve meant that that was an embedded customer pipeline. Right. So if I did a good job with the organization, obviously they would recommend me to go with an entrepreneurs that would are attending their programs. And that's actually what happened. [00:14:38] A lot of my first clients were women that were coming out of that program. It's genius. I mean, and it's it's built in. It's baked in right there, you know, and to be able to turn on it and pitch them and then have that index of clients that are already coming through. [00:14:54] You know, and I'm not intimately I have heard about ladies who launch from previous times. I'm not sure what the current statute looks like, but it was almost the earliest forms of like the current day. I want to say, like accelerators and incubator programs, you know, where they kind of draw you through these this these techniques. But it was more of an earlier format, as I understand it, from. But your take on it and your approach to just re pitching it is just it's so astronomically powerful and also to catch people in their infancy, there's something about people that grab companies while they're young. It's a dynamic space. There's usually more room for creativity because they haven't locked into certain things. And also seeing that growth, those, you know, those lifetime colleagues and customers and things of that nature, it's it's one of the most rare forms, you know, to kind of bump into your company. And I love it. I love that you started there. You didn't tell us why yet. I'm going to ask you a little big girl. Tap the name. [00:15:52] Where? That company. Yeah. So, I mean, I guess, like, I have this picture. I don't know. We got to eat bitches. Look at the logo. But that picture is like the logo is a picture of like the top of my head and like I'll throw but it's my baby picture of me actually that's illustrated. And the picture is like it was taken on my kindergarten graduation day. And I like sitting there with my hands on my head. And for whatever reason, it just made me whenever I look at that picture, it makes me feel strong in line. It makes me feel like, hey, you already know what you're doing, because when you're an entrepreneur, you're always second guessing yourself. [00:16:36] And so, you know, having the like North Star of my business baked in to the title like that, you know, this I'm this little person, like this little business, this little person, you know. [00:16:50] But I'm big. I'm a girl. And like, this is it. It was like it enabled me to like Bill to feel playful about the work and to also, like feel like I could do it, you know. So it was really just like a it was a nod to my own inner child and like in given her permission to do the work that I was doing. [00:17:14] That's awesome. And it's a constant reminder. You know, you have the logo. I do like it. I like your art. Which is rare because I've been around way too long. And I do like I like the art. I like the name. It verges. It's like it's it's right on that line of like I'm going to love it or hate it. [00:17:30] And I love it. It's like the dividing line, which is brave. Right off the bat, which I am. [00:17:37] And I'm wondering. So the growth. [00:17:39] Can you speak just kind of generally to the bro with the growth of a little bit girl from its soft launch from 2009, 2010 until now or right in 2020, pre covered 19 pandemic. Let's take that chunk. [00:17:52] Yeah. So it's always been a fairly small business. I mean, I think we've never had over like five or six kinds at a time. You know, what we've done is like we we do projects. So residents like one of our recent projects were like around Afro punk when they launch their podcasts. So we will do a rollout like that or will be with a film from it's like festival premiere too. It's even Oscar can't be. So that could be like an 18 month window that a will on a project. And we also had some theaters like where we're worked with with a nonprofit like the Andrew Goodman Foundation. We work with them for a number of years around how their messaging to millennials and building internal capacity and programs within that organization that directly targeted millennial audiences. So it really, because of the nature of the work, you know, we we can be sustained by like several kind of ongoing contracts. And then, you know, some spurts, like some splits with projects that have a defined beginning and end. I would say. I mean, people use this word pejoratively, but I think, you know, it's. [00:19:17] It's been like a lifestyle business, if you will, like, it hasn't been like on a huge growth trajectory or anything like that, but it's enabled me to sustain my my life and then it's enabled us to have folks, contractors and other folks who work with us. So that's nice. [00:19:34] Yeah. It sounds like you can you can grow and shrink to clients needs with, like you mentioned, contractors and things of that nature. What would you say? The bulk of a large part of what you do for the majority of your clients is with the branding and the marketing and such a massive field. Are you handling social media campaigns? Are you developing imagery? Like what areas do you find yourself working most in? [00:19:55] Sure. So the bulk of our work is actually around marketing. And what we're doing here. We're doing Web sites. We're joined on social media campaigns with jewelry, social media management. [00:20:08] We also do an influence on marketing. We're just thinking about what typically will work in collaboration with an impact producer who is thinking about how to get that film out to different partners. And we're thinking about a while they're thinking about how to like how that film is a gauge in partners and communities and building community. We're thinking about how the how the film is engaging general audiences. What's the messaging or general audience? [00:20:41] How do we target them on social? What sort of revenge should we do? Or the different influences that we should bring to the table? You know, what might we do with your partners? That could be a little bit more like audience specific and like talking about the film itself. So just really shaping the film or consumer already hoping to shape the film. What consumer audience in partnership with Impact Producers and Impress? Yeah, there's a lot of moving parts there. It's got to be really customizable, right? Depends on the project as to which area you push harder on to understand the film. [00:21:19] I want to pivot right here since we're talking about, you know, film and cultural changes really quickly and talk about your book, which at first at first blush, when I went to buy it and look at it, I thought it was gonna be an adult book. I just didn't have any reference or anything else because the name for me, knowing that you were an entrepreneur and this founder, I had assumed it was almost going to be this How to Woman's Guide. I don't know, something like that. And so I was shocked to find a children's board book. And and I love it because I think it's so necessary and it's just beginning. What I see to be a new wave of children's books coming out, and I don't think we can get enough to them. And because it's not that long, I'm going to ask you to kind of walk us through. But it's called an ABC of equality. And it starts out with very it's very, very friendly, appropriate across all. Even the youngest children's ages. And it goes through the ABC and it starts to assign a value to each letter, a word value. And then it kind of enumerates on that. And it brings it into this societal like environment within a paragraph. And then it goes to the next letter. [00:22:33] Is that correct, like observation of your description? I'm actually quite a description. I love that look. I love the idea. It's like I've never heard anyone describe it quite that way, that it assigns of value to each word and then enumerates and then like and it draws to society like I think is really a perfect description. [00:22:55] Well, it's genius for me. That's exactly how young brains and audience members who have been listening to me for a couple of years now know I have four children and I knew nothing about educating children. [00:23:11] But when I started having them, there were no classes taken. But what you learn very quickly is that you have to place things in a value in an environment. You can't just hold something up and say orange and drop it, because the next thing you pick up, they'll be like orange. There's no way you need to kind of describe what you're saying. And that's what this does. It takes very philosophical concepts about, you know, important terms that are difficult citizenship or something like that, you know, where you can kind of like those are deep terms and empathy or those kinds of words. And you have to put them in an environment and really relate them back in. And that's exactly what the book does. It's everything that the exact pedagogical lens, if you will, about teaching children about global citizenship and responsibility and empathy and compassion and diversity and all of these transparency and all of these things that we look at and dida of describing this to a six year old brain. And it really does that beautifully. I think it's so remarkable. And I'm wondering, what was the impetus for that for you? What was the philosophy? [00:24:12] I'm just I'm truly honored. I just to say I'm truly honored and. That you've really, really got it. I like I'm just like, honestly, I'm like taking a moment that is like really, really gone. And so thank you so much for spending time with it. So to the first thing I like to tell people is that it actually was an opportunity that came to me. So I'm a I'm not a religious person, but I am I have just to give you a sense of like how woo woo I could be I have a Monday sessions that I do right now with a group of friends that it's called Let's Get Metaphysical. Like like how would you like to be meaning that like there's work that you do but there's also you need to leave space for the universe. Leave a leave space for just magic to happen. Right. And the this book was literally one of those open spaces that just dropped in my lap. I literally looked in my own my in my inbox one day in twenty eighteen and there was a note from a publisher that said, hey, are you interested in writing a children's book. And I was like, like, OK. I had to look them up to see if this was real. I actually thought it was what it is like spam emails. And I looked him up. They were real prolific publisher of children's content. So then it became like, well, why me? You know, because, you know, you have to the whole, like, insecurity around like why I didn't write it positioned myself as an author. But actually, I've been calling myself a storyteller my entire life. So it it it makes sense. But I was it because I didn't actually actively pursue it. It felt like. Can I step into this moment? Can I do this? And so they have the idea. They were like, you know, we want to do a children's book about equality and we want to know if you would like. This is something that you'd be interested in. And so we had some conversations. And it was like, yes, I will do this. Like, let's do it. And so in terms of the construction of the book, it is for children. But like, if you can, I think that it's. My idea when writing it was that it was going to be a book that parents were going to read to their children. So for me, I was always thinking about that first audience, which is the parent. You know, I was thinking about not necessarily. It was like, how does a parent think about how to talk about these times in the simplest way possible? And so that is the way I approach the book. And I think about it as a bit of like cultural instigation, cultural intervention, you know, cultural inspiration. You know, like I want parents to look at the book and be like, wow, I can do this. I can think about how I am thinking about belief and race and xenophobia. You know, it's a lot of the words or words that you may not even like. [00:27:31] But before writing the book, I might have known all these terms just intuitively because as an adult. [00:27:37] But I didn't know if you had asked me before, like how to quickly describe xenophobia, like I would, you know, like I would have kind of told you this large, you know, big conversational piece, but I wouldn't be able to drill down. [00:27:53] And so it's like, how do you drill down on the term, on the conversation and then be in conversation with yourself? [00:28:01] But also do children around these ideas was and that's delivered. [00:28:05] You know, it's awesome because that's how I received it. And when I when I read it to my child, that was exactly it. And it was such a sigh of relief, because even when you do have those conversations, you know, about my seven year old said, what's the stock market? [00:28:21] And I was like, oh, my, breaking this down. [00:28:25] Like, there's so many turns and systems we live under in this society. And even then, the more theoretical, you know, what is what is honesty, what is valiante like, those types of things you go to to find them. And it's very interpersonal and it changes throughout life. And you end up having this dialog with their eyes spinning. And so it's just so nice to see someone that's had that conversation and written down this various distinct narrative about some of those terms, especially the negative ones, you know, and having like a very honest rhetoric without getting too brutal. It's it's tricky. It just is. You know, I'm find much more comfort in those subject matters in higher academia where you can kind of just let it go, you know, and just throw everything at the wall. But with young minds, that is the true annexation, you know, between those concepts in that Terramin honesty and gentility being provided even in the explanation. So I love it. I want to pivot now and look at Geni, and I know it's in a transitional moment for you, and I love that. And so I want you to first describe for everyone what Jenie is the company and when it was launched and what it originally did. [00:29:34] Yeah. So just another word about the book. Oh, yes. No, look, just because earlier you were like the expectation as an entrepreneur is that you do like a business book. Right. But I've now started to see this book as a foundational text for entry for entering my world, you know, and that like, you know, the way I'm the way I've set up my life, the little the way I have set up the work that I do. And my interests are all around this idea as of like being a cultural adds, cultural instigation and of like difference being something that should be embraced and as a point of connection versus as a point of Dubai. Right. And so I think that book does a good job of kind of laying out the way in which I see, like, that lens that, like identity and difference are literally saves that you as a human being, you should lean into and utilize for your own personal growth. [00:30:44] And utilize your own personal curiosity, you know, and as a means of connecting with others. It's not something that, you know, we should run away from. It's like we should totally embrace. Expanding our lens are vocabulary around how we describe ourselves. Our vocabulary around how we engage each other. You know, we should totally embrace that. There's enough space for all of us, you know, and that if we create equitable, you know, equal and equitable spaces, that doesn't mean that I lose, but that there's actually a lot of space, you know. [00:31:25] And so that's you know, I wanted to kind of like clarify that a bit because lots of. [00:31:30] They love that. They get that take. I wish that was mine. You're like, here's my intro. It's not an entrepreneurial guide. It's a children's book. It's so easy and it ties beautifully. [00:31:39] And with your logo. Like, it's all a theme about you. This return to identifying as, you know, this strong young child and things like that. I love all of that. The wisdom within children. You've got this this environment going that's very copacetic to itself. You know, I really do love that. I mean, I'm going to say it a ton and a ton. [00:32:00] I can't wait for people to write. It's going to be the right time for your book. Yeah. [00:32:05] Unpacking, Jeannie. Yeah. Yep. So aware that you do use a lot with genius. Right. [00:32:12] So Jeannie is like about the. [00:32:15] It started off with the idea of the genius and genius, the like magic of black women. That was like, you know, the play on that. Right. And the idea is that, like, you know how to be the original hypothesis was like there are all these like small businesses that exist, like, you know, think about the Etsy business or think about like the e-commerce business. They don't really have that many platforms for sharing their products. Like, what would be how could you do that? I was really interested in that piece. And then the other piece of ground celebrating the stories of black women before. I started doing this thing called Michelle a brunch for fun. We started that, like, literally. That was I think. Yeah. That was 2009. And it was really when Michelle Obama and Kate Lightstone round her inauguration. [00:33:17] When she got into the white White House right now, I was so excited about her and her new sort of model that was on the public stage. [00:33:27] You know what a black woman could be like a new black shoe starting a new mythology. Really? And so I developed this brunch series. Just kind of celebrating her. But also, we would have different women like, you know, little Oprah is a little Michelle's, you know, would cure rate the brunches and tell their stories, share their leadership techniques. And we did that in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania did for a number of years, about five or six years. And it was just for fun. Like, literally, we're not even we would never make any money off of it, would we? Would pay to whatever you paid to attend the brunch was what would cover expenses. So we got about like 2014. So while I think five or six years and I was like, you know, could this be something like. Is there clearly you're interested in this, you know, women's entrepreneurship piece like ladies who launch it is just this other narrative that you see strand in your life. Could this be a thing? And I looked at the subscription box model and I was like, well, what if we package that branch? Like, we gave you the inspiration, the product recommendations, the storytelling, and we could ship it to you, you know? And so that's that's the that was the genesis behind Cheaney box. And it's always a subscription box company that we launched in 2016. [00:34:51] The idea was that we'd have little Oprah's little Michel's in there. [00:34:55] Everything would have a different woman curate the blogs featuring our favorite products. So we'll do two things. One, you know, increased the visibility of these influential women and their stories and the way to increase the sales capacity of small businesses by diverse, by diverse founders. And so we did that until like our last box shipped just last year. So just about three years. [00:35:23] I'm not uninterrupted. Mind you, like, there was plenty of challenges in that business, you know, ship monthly, like I would have loved to. It was, again, another self-funded endeavor. I was using the money from Little Big Girl to support Cheaney box. And, you know, we we didn't really go out for funding until last year because, you know, one of the things that we realized early on. Hey, people would consider this to be a niche audience. So they're not going to necessarily want to back this company based on the fact that we're dealing with a niche audience. And so we didn't get a little bit of angel funding last year through a pipeline. Angels, who is a you know, I can't recommend them enough for anyone who is thinking about doing, you know, doing an unofficial raise for their for their startup pipeline. Angels is a group of women, of women and non binary folks who invest in women, a non binary folks. And they invest in. Scalable companies. But they also invested in like say like a food and beverage or fashion business. It doesn't have to always be bigger. Hi, Wolf. Tech company. So people should look into pipelining deals. But all that to say is, you know, we got to the end of last year and we thought about, OK, you know, where do we go from here? [00:36:52] So this is even before albeit, you know, we're like, no, we're doing this for a little bit. Our margins have been really small. You know, there are so few opportunities here that we see in the business model. One was we noticed this big it became an advertising channel for larger companies who were interested in doing multicultural marketing. They wanted to do advertising. We noticed that. We also noticed that we were, you know, providing a discovery vehicle where consumers who wanted to shop their values, who wanted to shop from women, diverse folks who wanted to be able to have an easy way of doing that. So we knew that it was kind of serving those two needs in the marketplace. And so we just kind of like, could there be a bigger business model, you know, such that our margins, our margins would be healthier? And also, there were you know, we could develop a hardware company. And so we've been on that Kivett journey for about six months now. And we are near ready to release our of NBP version of the new model. But I can't say exactly what that will look like. But I think you could tell from the two problems that we're trying to solve, which is, you know, creating an opportunity for diverse business owners to reach consumers and also create an opportunity for larger brands to connect with multicultural consumers. [00:38:33] So, you know, it you know, we're building a marketplace around those two ideas and you'll see more in the coming months. [00:38:42] Yeah, that's a good teaser. That's exciting anyway. I like that. And anyone who is who is wanting to follow that, like we should definitely. Do you have a favorite social media platform that people who are Twitter. [00:38:53] Yeah, Twitter. Instagram. I've been a little quiet or both. [00:38:56] But like Twitter. Instagram. What are your handles? [00:38:59] Also at China, you go so that CIJ and EWR energy. [00:39:05] Cool. Yeah. That's awesome. I can't wait for a good launch, especially right now because nobody is launching when they said they would. So anyone who is going to I'm like, no problem. I'll wait. [00:39:15] I'm wondering where I'm going to pivot now and kind of wrap everything up. I know that everyone's dialog has changed and some for better and some for worse in some. Just because you know, but this time for reflection that you had your first, you know, layoff in 2009 and people have kind of globally experienced or that's where the people I've spoken to that women female identified non binary individuals over the past three months have kind of said, I've taken the time with this forced isolation to really have a dialog with myself about my company, about my happiness level, things that they just weren't taking the space and holding the platform to do. And so I find this next question to be fascinating because it changed for a lot of people. It changed back. It never stayed the same. So I'm wondering, can you tell us anything about your goals for the next one to three years, given your endeavors and what change has taken place over the past couple of months with those goals? [00:40:11] Yeah, so I think the biggest change is taking place for me during this pandemic has really been around centering myself first and foremost to my life in a way that I have not done ever like literally like I am for the first time in my life. [00:40:29] Cookie lets you out there like, you know, like I just think it's the like biggies. [00:40:37] I'm just so you know, I'm so. Excited by the fact that I'm finally cooking like this. So this is a major step in the right direction around like how I want to and I'm not doing it every day. Like, you know, there's some type like maybe once or twice a week or a really bad week. I might order out. But I, I have developed a new habit around cooking and shoveling a shadow. Hello, Fresh. They're not giving me any money, but like, hello fresh has been fantastic because they send you meals and then they send you all the ingredients and then you cook the food. Right. And they give you recipes is a really great way for novice cookers. But I guess the reason why I say that is because my my large goal is now to operate concentrically like I am, like I want to operate from the inside of me outwardly and before. I think my entire career I've been and I think this happens to most people, most entrepreneurs, most like every all of us. I was just so like caught up in what people think about me. How am I coming off to the general public comic, coming off to my friends, to clients, to investors like so invested in, you know, and what that might mean for my business. Right. And now I'm like. It doesn't matter. It starts with me. Right. And I truly believe that and I truly have seen that in a way that I haven't seen before. So my biggest goal is to hold that hold on to keeping myself centered and central in my own life and listening to my own wisdom and my own advice around how to take care of myself. So that's my first and foremost goal. Second to that is continuing to build and grow the communities that I have nurtured before the pandemic, but definitely within this space. So one one one such example is that like I created on a peer group of other entrepreneurs and we meet every Saturday around developing our business such that we continue their survive and also thrive post pandemic. [00:43:04] And so I think that, you know, creating community creating team for my businesses are like my kind of. [00:43:16] My money like immediate goals, you know, like. And then in terms of like, well, you know, I would love to see Cheaney skill to like, you know, hundreds of thousands of customers survey, you know, tons of, like, entrepreneurs. [00:43:35] So but really, it is about like this operate a concentrically it's more like a value-based school level. Yeah. Well done. Materializes too. [00:43:45] That's so great. Such a visual for me. For some reason as well. I picture all of those the maps that you start off of with a problem or meditation maps and kind of go out. Do you know at the end you figured yourself out or even the other way. [00:43:59] But you're always trying to reach the center of one's self in that work. It's a great it's a great goal. I love it. And it's it's so, so different from those that I've heard recently. And I'm a wrap everything up today with a question about advice that I pose to every person I speak with. And I'm curious if a young woman or female identified or non binary individual, essentially anyone other than a white man walked up to you tomorrow and said, listen, I know I've had this history, had this dream. I wanted to get into writing. I was going to do film work. I came to New York and I wanted to get all of these things done. I'm keeping my mind open. I'm looking at it from every different angle. I'm doing different things and think I'm going to start my first company right now. What are the top three pieces of advice you would give that individual knowing what you know now? [00:44:54] So the concrete piece of it is get a bookkeeper and accountant early on. So so, again, the peace around that is basically get people on your team that you know, that are not your skill sets. So even if you can't necessarily hire it, you can't necessarily bring on folks as employees, figure out a way to get folks around you that are not your core skill set. [00:45:30] So if that's like, you know, trying to find a friend's mother who's also a bookkeeper or it's like, you know, trying to find an intern who can who's an MBA, who's a CFO, you know, working that way to be a big guy. [00:45:46] I don't know. Find a way to surround yourself with people who who have disciplines that are not at all. So that would be one. If you're about to start a business and the disciplines that are not your own, that really impact your business could be like five years we go, you know. Yeah. Like any of those sort of domains, they may not be your, quote, core competencies. So that's one. Two is. Follow your your inspirations, you know, like really follow them. I love Toby was the founder of Shopify story is like, you know, he was into snowboarding and gaming. You know, the gaming taught him how to become a coder. And then snowboarding was like, oh, I want to go to snowboard shop. So in those two things, he then built, like his shop was e-commerce platform that he, for Guilford's own shop, was so good that it was like, OK, well, maybe we can build this for, you know, millions of shops, you know. And that became Shopify. So I was like, how do you not like if you had not followed his interests, he would it be Amazon's competitor today? You know, to me. Yes. So it's like, so follow your interest. [00:47:05] Even if they don't seem like they make a lot of sense or they don't necessarily or they're not traditional just following interests. And the third thing is build a community, stay connected to community, you know, at all levels. So you know what you want visors. So people who are a few head few years ahead of you or have some who've done what it is that you're that you're doing or think that you might want to do, you want peers, you know, so you want people who are right in the trenches, trenches with you. You want friends who don't have anything to do with what you're doing, maybe. And you want mentees. So you want like you want to grill 360 degree community around you as you build out your vision. [00:48:02] Yeah, I love those. It's true. And you kind of cover every aspect that I think is really important when you are starting out. [00:48:08] So I've got, number one, get a good bookkeeper or an accountant, meaning get people on your team that have skill sets other than your own that you're going to need never to follow your inspiration. And number three, build and stay connected to your community because those are the people you're gonna be functioning in. I love that. And I think it's so true. And those approaches, everything from all angles. And Chana, we are out of time today. But I want to say thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time. I know that everybody's firing on all cylinders right now, and I really appreciate your candor and your time and all of your rhetoric and story today. This is a complete pleasure, Patricia.

And for everyone listening. I'm going to read a bio on Alexis to give everyone a good platform for where he's coming from. But before I do that, a roadmap of today's podcast will first look at Alexis's history and brief background on academia and his prolific professional life in the cosmetic and beauty industry. And then we'll start unpacking all tigers. The impetus for why it was founded, as well as some of the logistics of the who, what, when, where hot while and why, such as funding, co-founders, those types of things. And then we'll get further into the philosophy and the ethos behind the line, why Alexis chose to make it Vegan the story behind it and all of those questions within that. We'll wrap everything up with advice that Alexis may have, an information he can share with those of you who are looking to get involved with what he's doing, purchases, items and perhaps emulate some of his career success. A quick bio on Alexis before I pepper him with questions. Alexis is a French citizen who has been working in the cosmetic industry for over 15 years in Paris, working for several international fragrances or skincare brands including Dior, Burberry, Jimmy Choo fragrances. The idea came to him when his pre-teen daughter started to get into makeup. [00:03:07] He noticed that it was either really trendy but not very green or green and not really trendy. And there was also a kind of Vegan challenge. The Vegan claim often used as camouflage for highly synthetic formulas. Why not have both? Alexis asked himself. Plant based formulas and Vegan formulas. [00:03:27] He then realized that all women around him were confronted with the same exact issues. That was the starting point for all Tiger's natural Vegan and ferociously stylish makeup. So, Alexis, I love that the impetus and I really look forward to kind of unpacking all tigers and get further into the story about what you've discovered with your daughter, with the information you have on your website. But before we do that, could you draw us a history, a brief professional history and academic background? I mean, you were hanging out in Paris at dawn, Burberry and Jimmy Choo, some of the iconic moments of makeup, cosmetics and fashion. Can you kind of dress the history of your professional life bringing you to all tigers? [00:04:10] Yes. Well, I have worked for 15 years in the cosmetics industry, so much in marketing positions for beautiful brands, as you said. So I started that perfunctory job as a young product that people are parents in care and fragrances. And then I moved to a license to of Burberry and Jimmy Choo fragrances, which is in Paris as well. And finally, I worked for a few years for French brands like Issues Can Care and Hope to get into the French wellness brand that are sold in pharmacies in Europe. So it might not sounds like it, but when we have my back, when that actually I've worked on many projects that were linked to natural beauty formulas. But as you may know, the this kind of project where I was never launched into WhiteWave is a way to focus to the rockets were not ready maybe or consumers were not ready. So over these years, I had some frustration that I was quite convinced that we could do much better on this on natural plant based formula. That's why I actually I I came at a point where I wanted to watch a more personal story. And this is where the idea of all Tiger's natural makeup came up. [00:05:19] OK, so let's get into the logistics. Get those out of the way. When was it founded? [00:05:24] Did you have any other founders and did you take any kind of financial funding, be it loans or venture capitalists or tigers? [00:05:34] No, we are a small team of sweet people to David. It was actually your own near to your story. I started at the end of 2017. Well, actually, I found a supplier of the ideal supplier, Faltu, to work on natural makeup. And it was purely self-funded at the beginning, know in 2017. And I waste a little of money on the way. But still, it is Stela. I worked on a valve that actually financed most of our spendings now. So. So, yes. So we'll launch the actual launch came after a crowdfunding campaign. So it was planned at the beginning, at the end of 2017, beginning of 2018. I started the project and actually I did two quotes on this campaign. At the end of 2019. And then I was always there to look for money under way. But most of our spendings today are friends by our turnover and organically. [00:06:35] OK. And I'm wondering, finding I know Vegan companies in the United States go through a plethora of venues and there are different indexes. They find their manufacturers and distributors and things like that. [00:06:48] What was the journey like for you researching people to help you manufacture Vegan products? How is that interviewing process where there are a lot to choose from? Well, very few, actually. [00:07:00] I wanted to make makeup that could be at the same time so natural. And again, as we said, as you said before, actually you can do Vegan when it's one of the Coxsone synthetic ingredients. But I wanted to be natural makeup and natural formulas. So it was quite complicated here because it's not an expense, as you find everywhere. It's only a few suppliers in Europe doing plant based makeup. And again, makeup is on the other side. So actually, that was very few they that to play football. So I did some interview. As you said, it was quite some research, but at the end of the day, you don't have so much choice. So, yeah, what is great is that actually it was love love at first sight with a supplier. So at least on a personal level, we were super in line. And they're quite easy to actually grant the some vision. [00:07:47] Absolutely. And you're drawing up an interesting point, and I'm glad for that clarification. I kind of want you to enumerate on that, expand further for our audience. It's it's something that your website addresses very elegantly. [00:07:59] But there is an absolute distinction between something being Vegan and still very synthetic and processed. You have this emphasis towards 100 percent natural. Can you kind of speak to those differences or how they go? Hand-in-hand, but not necessarily always. [00:08:14] Yes, of course. Actually, when I when I started in the cosmetic industry, we were not questioning that much. The formulation itself, actually, cosmetics have a long history of synthetic ingredients that are easy to supply of debate over time. So the majority of cosmetics is city based and natural ingredients are quite an exception, actually. And there is also the question of animal derived ingredients like, you know, collision yellow and see so much more. I got interested Step-By-Step in Green Beauty, but I was super convinced that we should do both, actually. So at the same time, it's more natural ingredients and also not using animal derived ingredients. So I think that, yes, the main challenge is actually to do both. You say if I just use the example of lipstick, for instance, this is that a woman would eat up to two kilos of lipstick of our lifetime. So you would expect most brands to select very wisely their ingredients, particularly super healthy. But when you look into the ingredient list on the lipstick packaging, there is nothing you would like to put on. I don't know your daughter's leap's or your models or your wives or your sisters. It is quite nonsense. It's two kilos of crude oil in its petrochemical based silicones. It's very a lot of questionable chemicals, ingredients and animal derived stuff as well, which is quite. Here, when you read on the level of the packaging. So, as you say, it's when went in the lipstick, for instance, on animal derived ingredients, you will find beeswax or these products often come from far away where the conditions are quite controversial. These are raised in the box and said with cause and no flowers, no query, no nice beekeeper in love with me. So it is unethical. For once in a lipstick, you can also find a wet pigment called the chow mein, which does not Vegan it comes from female Chinese. So there the sun dried and crushed. So another ethical issue, you don't really want to see the animal or insect to actually create a lipstick. And we want to put actually that on your lips, so. The alternative would be to just replace banks into thinking we just have a 100 percent synthetic lipstick. But it is the same actually you don't want to eat two killers of synthetic ingredients. So you see what was important for me. You ready to get to natural end again and make only Vegan, which also could mean actually. It really is. [00:10:49] And this is where the Vegan as natural 100 percent kind of meets up with it. [00:10:55] There is a parallel in the food based world where people are talking about being whole plant food based vegans as opposed to just being vegan. There's that junk food vegan person out there and there's this parallel after I was researching the work that you've done in your company at all, Tigers, and I was looking into and kind of rethinking. I had been taught from a very young age that to have a you, it was impossible to have a vegan cosmetics line because there was nothing that created the preservatives that the items would tarnish or become rotten before one could use them all. And there weren't medium's platforms to deliver the same consistency on. And there was this kind of understanding, even as you know, as someone who is very well versed in the Vegan community, that there was just an inability to have cosmetics be 100 percent natural and Vegan you could have them Vegan, but they were going to have these chemicals in them and things like that. And it does sound as you're describing everything out there that isn't 100 percent natural and or Vegan it sounds like there aren't any mediums left, the people you're working with, the people that are, you know, manufacturing it. Are they flagships? Are they people who are like the first in their industry? Or are there a lot of companies out there that have these alternative ingredients that we just don't know about? [00:12:14] I think it's you have a lot of alternatives and you have a lot of brands working on that. But as you say, it's much more like local small brands. It's never like to big luxury brands, probably because actually it's not as easy to. Created an industrial process for very large frontages on a natural formula, because actually it requires some specific attention. And you can have very fast process, for instance. So I think that's why actually most of the companies don't want to put there, because it would actually raise the costs because, of course, natural ingredients are more expensive than most of the synthetic into alternatives. And also, it's as impact on cheating, on industrial pressure as and so on. So it makes it much more complicated. And if it's complicated, it's more costly. So I think that's a reason why it is still small brands or local brands. It's more complicated to industrialize a product for sure. It would be more costly. So natural ingredients are much more costly as well. So I think that the secret of it and why actually it still is a small companies that actually go for it because it gives even the consumers that they want to invest in the consumers. [00:13:34] Yeah, absolutely. I'm curious. And you're and I want to restate what you said, because I read it on your website and gasped. [00:13:41] And the average woman will consume, ingest, swallow two kilos of lipstick in her lifetime, which, you know, and I had never even really clarified. Even the most natural of lipsticks, whether or not I want to take two kilos of that going through my digestive track over my lifetime. And your story is interesting. It starts with your daughter coming of age and getting into cosmetics and all of that. You kind of speak more to that. How did that whole thing transition into you kind of thinking about what products you did want her using? [00:14:15] Yeah, actually, the idea of all tigers came, as you said, it was my daughter. She is 14 today. And so she was a teenager at the time and she was planning summercamp. And, you know, at the end of a summer camp, there was a party. And when you were eleven or twelve, you planned this event as if it was the Emmy Awards night. So. So she was looking for a lipstick. I'm joking. How serious? [00:14:39] And when we looked together, I was quite surprised because we noticed it was either a really trendy but not that we know who we not fully 20s, as you said before. And I realized that all the women around me were confronted with the same exact issues where they wanted more natural lipstick that they didn't want which brand choosing which ones I should choose or which retail they should go to to find this kind of product and use using use of product is they were not to choose this kind of the look and feel of the products were not that attractive. So there were a lot of issues that I thought at the time we could actually solve. And through my process was very simple. I just thought about the women and I asked women what they wanted. So I did a lot like a lot of one to one interviews to actually understand what works for them, do the best they could. And actually, I opened very early an Instagram page, asking women to actually help me to to create the perfect lipstick in that room. So perfect lipstick. That would mean, of course, to get close to perpetrate a great old, long lasting Caros, but also natural ingredients. And again, actually, so the Vegan aspect was quite important for only a part of them. But I thought that was important because actually even this minority of women would be we could address them with this kind of product. Actually, I made a promise to actually do the best activity. So I said I should be faithful to this premise. So I went to Vegan. I was not so clear about what was it on at the time. And actually, on a personal level, I have transitioned a lot from that. So it's an interesting travel. [00:16:24] Yeah. It's a dialog. It's a philosophy that kind of starts to permeate all areas of life, even for me. [00:16:31] Ten years. And I'm wondering when you designed it. [00:16:34] I love this idea of collecting intel and doing this market research with the French Parisian woman. When you designed your your lipstick and nail lock your or was your target audience solely the French woman or feme identified anyone who wants to wear lipstick and nail Lacau? Or did you think eventually you might try and expand it to other European countries or even globally? [00:17:00] Yeah, it's it's a really good question. But for sure, I thought about it internationally because I think that's what we stand for actually can equal many women around the world. I would be there. I would try to be in the UK, in the US and Canada and Asia. Actually, I would I would be there with production because I, I feel what we stand for could help many women transition to a greener. It's called, again, lifestyle. And it's not a question of the. Ranch. Hate to here's a view like that. [00:17:34] I've Francis, always used as the icon. So I don't think it hurts to be, you know, to launch from there. From the beauty industry and cosmetics line, I do like the push, the impetus for your story, this inspiration of your daughter. [00:17:47] It points towards I want all women to be healthy, but most importantly, I want to bring up my daughter's generation shore in a different light than your mind or my mother's or my grandmothers. And so I think getting this new generation very aware of the ingredients and what they're putting on themselves is key. And companies like yours that do that are paramount for the next generation and their generation after that. [00:18:13] I'm wondering, do you how is we talked off the record. [00:18:18] I told you I was going to ask you about this, but the relationship that I can kind of if I can speak for my country, which I'm sure most would prefer I not, but the relationship between the Americas, American woman and cosmetic buyer and consumer and that two products that are considered Vegan. And I said Vegan originally, but 100 percent organic and eco sustainable and things of that nature is this idea of luks. You know, there are a lot of environmentally conscious people, but a lot of people see that and they think that not only is it environmentally friendly, they immediately assume it's going to be better for their body. Therefore, they're prepared to pay more. And also, it feels more expensive. They expect more out of the product of the packaging, even if you will, those types of things that the packaging, the eco sustainable. There's all of these attachments, these relationships that go along with something that's Vegan and 100 percent organic. And I'm wondering what the Parisian conversation is, if you would be so bold as to do the same for your country. Is the reception of Vegan and 100 percent organic products cosmetics in France received on the same level? Or can you kind of speak to how the French citizen might view that and what the relationship is? [00:19:34] So I think it's organic. I think it's already widespread in France. You have historical brands that were already there for a long time. [00:19:43] I think on the organic part, I think it's already been widespread because you have a lot of historical brands or with younger market and it's nothing personal, actually. [00:19:52] You do have a lot of organic stores already. Glenzer so organic, I think was not that exceptional. [00:20:00] Vegan is a different story because again, no state has a recent history in France. [00:20:04] Four years ago it was only one percent of the population itself begins with very small. And last year, two or three persons that you see that. And there was one person that saw that again and took us 10 percent saying that there would be interesting Vegan products. So you see, it's recent, but it's doing very fast. And once you in that direction, I think there is no way back. [00:20:25] I see myself I have done some big steps on that. And for sure, I want to go back. So. [00:20:33] I think that you can get into the subject for various reasons. It can be. [00:20:38] I don't know, medical because you're lactose intolerant or because you're into more respectful animal or because of the environmental impacts. Many, many reasons that for sure, it is more about being an educated and aware consumers about the impacts. Is showing part of that. It's. [00:20:57] If we talk about beauty products, you have Vegan products at every place, so it can be a luxury, but it's also a question of, I think education values ethics on the social ladder on the planet. [00:21:09] I agree. And as the need goes up, you know, the price will come down. It's the same thing with shopping and food industry once these ingredients become available. [00:21:18] And as free flowing as eggs and milk, then the prices come down. I'm wondering with the different items that you have. So when you launched how many you have lipsticks and nail Lacau a lacquer and how many of each did you launch with? Did you immediately grow? How many of each do you now have? Can you kind of speak to the product line? [00:21:43] Yes. So we started with a range of twelve shades of metallic lipsticks, so metallic six. And the formula is one other person to begin. Of course, it's up to one person. Not sure because when y one of two went under. I think it's because sometimes on some pigments we don't have alternatives either. Natural. [00:22:06] See you started off with 12 lipsticks and did you have no lacquer at the same time or did that come later? [00:22:13] Sorry. Yes. So we started using twelve sheets of metal. Then we launched the. Then they let go 20 second step because actually, you know, we ask the community, especially on Instagram, for every big step section and we ask the community what should be the next step. So then we speak and they say for sure it's like yours because it's full of controversial ingredients and so on. [00:22:36] And we you can do much better. So actually, we took a big step into a new plan based ingredients that are super interesting, actually. You know, like those we have great colors to pound on, super shine and the super political to to use and apply. So people actually listen with no difference. You want no licorice and steel. It is up to 83 percent of natural ingredients. [00:23:08] Yeah. And that seems like a tricky one. The nail polish industry in the United States is by far exceeded all of their cosmetics products over the past five years. [00:23:18] It went from a ridiculously mediocre climate to the next booming, you know, hundreds of trillions of dollars a year. And I know that with that, there are very few people actually considering the ingredients. And it's one of the few things that I think people think that the nail is not necessarily placing it on the body. There's been a lot of talk, too, that the problems with that and people viewing that and I've spoken to a Vegan nail polish industry maker here in the United States, in Nevada, and she said the difficulty for her in developing it, she was actually developing formulas, which was getting these long lasting long stays, the styles and the the traditional industry had been mixing in. So I know that it's it's you know, it's a booming industry. But to get a really good Vegan, 100 percent natural one would be a UNICOR. How do you feel about your product with the nail liquor? [00:24:16] Do you feel like it says it's as good as its counterparts that are not Vegan and 100 percent organic? [00:24:23] I think I think it's the same for lipstick and the same for nailer girls. What surprised our consumers that are used to maybe luxury brands or conventional brands, for instance? Is that actually they find the same service. It's the same thing. Intense clothes and along the whole colors and and shining into your exemplars. And they lacquers. It is not what they expected from natural makeup, to be honest, is the sort that they would have to compromise on quality. And what is great is that actually a love? It's. And that's why you actually know we have many products on ice and complexion and so on who can make a lot of good stuff with natural ingredients and from base ingredients in a Vegan way. And actually bringing exactly the same service that they are used to with their curan range. [00:25:13] So what's next? What do you think you've gone into? You reached out to your people. They asked for a nail lacquer. What's next? Will you do anything else? Will you stay within just those two product zones or do you think you'll keep expanding? [00:25:27] For sure. We will keep extending. I'm sure. I'm sure of that. So actually, we are making Brand. So we want to go to our two eyes and skin for sure, because we want to offer a community a very easy, attractive solution to transition to a new lifestyle in the U.S. So I feel this is our mission, and especially in this period of time before what we are going through is a. Nineteen, I feel and I hope people will feel even more connected to the planet to live in general, and that daily products that help make the world a better place with five. And and I feel that actually we were kind of put it all, take us, put it have something to do with that. Some contribute to that for our consumers. [00:26:13] Absolutely. Well, what do you know about your packaging? Is there anything particularly special that you addressed with the packaging or the vessels that the products are delivered in? [00:26:25] Yes, of course, actually. We wanted to make something bluebirds, actually the point since a cat unbox of the products. There are. Low carbon Accattone coming from sustainable forests. So the idea is really to have no particular varnishes metallic elements that would actually reduce the risk that we cyclicity. So the idea is to have a cut on drugs that you can really easily recycle. For instance, of plastic reuse is recyclable as well. We use aluminum caps, which is purely recyclable as well, glass. But also the idea is really to be insides. What you watch in Europe, you have a natural LaBella's that actually it did some kind of a playbook on packaging. So we tried to really follow all the rules to make sure I think, should you make the best choices. Also on the on every element of the packaging. [00:27:27] Yeah, that's fantastic. And I'm wondering about the name. Oh, yes. How did all come up? I love it. I think it's fantastic. But where did it come from? [00:27:39] Oh, it's it's it's a long story, actually, because as I said, actually, I was meeting women a lot when I was starting to to understand their needs and to design the perfect lipstick. And one of them actually told me, I feel that women on that note, who you listen to by custardy brands. That's why formulas are nonsense as well. So because actually, if you ask a woman what she wants to, you know, a product, she would probably tell you a natural natural ingredient for sure. So actually, tell me what you're doing with this product and a strong feminist dimension that actually I totally agree with that. And we are talking about feminism and cosmetics and this foundation. Tony, what is a paradox is that being a feminist is feeding at the same time very strong. They will prove a fool. And at the same time, Zuby threatens. And I said, oh, okay, okay. So just like Tiger actually, you just you Bucho a fool. And then your species. And she told me exactly. We are all tigers. And that's how the name was Monceau became. We are all tigers. I'll tell you also today, actually, we are proud, proud member of international organization, one positive for the planet. And we give back one percent of total sales for wild tiger preservation in Asia. But it's a very complete program. Protects tigers, but also the eco system, which is very certain this over years. Do you see that? We wanted to show also our respect to the living in every way. So not only the tiger as a as an icon, as a symbol, but also in a very concrete way. And when we see it all, Tiger, which is nice, that's for women, it's not about seduction. Like in many make a brand, actual Tiger Woods is a celebration of strong women. We celebrate their sweat trends. COAG fashion each make a career as a nickname, which is like you hit it big. Call me Queen Himuro. So it's a men's for something you say to feel good and strong for the day. So really want to inspire women in the different ways unconventional make it. And not just about superficiality, but something that comes very deep inside. [00:29:44] Yeah, I really appreciate the and the dialog and the rhetoric that you're having with your your friends and colleagues and clients about feminism and kind of divorcing this concept between cosmetics and the the male gaze or show this idea of seduction and and things like that, and it reaching more into the community in which it lays upon, you know, which is women are female identified or men that are looking to engage in this, returning the use back to the user and the power and the dynamic between the relationship of the product and the user back to them is paramount. I think when you're looking at makeup that is moving forward into our daughter's generation, you know, shortening that the association and the utility of it back to them is really, really powerful. And I appreciate that. I'm curious. Well, first of all, before I forget, because I do tend to forget the logistics when someone is shopping for your product. Do you have a brick and mortar store? Do you have an online presence? Do you have third party retailers that sell your products? Where can people look for it? [00:30:49] So actually, we have. When you shop, which is the end, that old iPhone tigers' dot com, which is in French and English and which is our first or today, and we deliver what today. And we are also sold by partners in 10 countries in Europe in about 300 doors. [00:31:08] It's a mix of online offline concept stores. The Fumo use department store pharmacies, beauty spa. [00:31:15] What is important to me is that we share the same interests for natural beauty that a natural beauty customer actually can go there and shop. So the white product not only ours, but interesting brands as well. So yes, we are we are quite available, but today, mostly in Europe. Do you see internationally. Sure. From. We shop, we we shop, we ship everywhere. Monophone. [00:31:39] So everyone jump on. Everyone listening. I want to wrap everything up with him. The most recent climate. I don't like to avoid it. And I'm in if you haven't had a significant dialog with yourself or the company. [00:31:51] That's all right, too. However, I'm wondering what the conversation that you have between your customers or if you've tried to kind of address the covered 19 pandemic and and how you have such a very specific product that has a relationship with the environment and things of that nature that have an inherent dialog with things like pandemic and things that come about from disturbing natural ecosystems and things of that nature. Have you had any kind of marketing or overt conversation or any personal dialog with yourself about how it might move all tigers forward or change your dialog and how you market with your customers? [00:32:32] Yes, because actually it's a lock down. I actually came quite suddenly and being in touch on a constant basis with our community was, for me, actually a way to keep a positive mood and feeling and seeing seeing a useful to people. So, for instance, all tigers distributed. We are we are today distributed in some pharmacies with a strong natural offer in France. And those pharmacies, we are at the forefront of Kivett 19. So we produce 10 cents. I'd good just to be supplied for free to house workers. And there we are. So for me, pharmacies are part of our community. People love us in another way. Actually, people love Zulay hands of our packaging because it's a lovely drawing with our white Tiger Woods and the colored jungle. So we edited the clothing version that actually you can control yourself for grownups or kids and you could do a need for download for free and print on their website. I also organized a livestock's on Integrate Instagram with French entrepreneurs in beauty and fashion, and we explored the Tiger's view. It's a mix of passion, energy, resilience. You need to build projects. And that was really inspiring acting for me, of course, but also for all the people. Election year following their life left. [00:33:51] And we made a lot of contests with other ethical brands on Instagram to have them discovered by the community and show them that it's not only about makeup, but it's only about fashion and skincare and other ways that those brands are amazing and nobody knows them and they should actually be no everywhere. So in two different ways. Some are more serious. So some were more entertaining. [00:34:15] But we were very active to our community and we wanted to support everywhere. Our shop was closed a little bit because at the beginning of logistician had to deal with more, I would say necessary products and makeup, but then we could be open. And since we opened, actually we saw very strong dynamic. So I assume it's the same for a lot of retailers. But I feel people actually will actually need in this kind of period this feel that the brands they believe in and the trust actually helps them go through this kind of period. [00:34:50] Absolutely. And I appreciate that dialog. It sounds like you've had so much movement on so many different fronts. [00:34:55] A lot of people feel and paralyzed, you know, with how to address it, with how to look at their industries, their communities, how to to incorporate that dialog into what they're doing. And it sounds like you've done it so gracefully. I'm curious, from a personal standpoint, do you identify yourself as Vegan? [00:35:15] Oh, yes, actually, yes, you're right. I didn't mention that before. But that's an important question, actually. When I started untangles, I did the new, as I said, so much about the Vegan. So it was quite a discovery for me. And it was led to like the base that I was at the time that they were big meat eaters. So to be honest, I was not Vegan at all. And I did know so much about it. So I got interested. I said quite positive about Vegan. I get a lot about it. But even if you know that it is more ethically and I'm the one that is friendly, I think it is not and actually began is not about a question of motivation. It cannot be only a rational process. It's something that you have to feel deep inside. So you have to feel deep inside that it's it's fair that it is right, though, to be honest. It came step by step. So I stopped eating lambs and then Couzens and also just step by step process. And probably I will discover new elements. But each step was a small evolution on the decimal level. And to be honest, I see that the only and pleasing thing about it is that everybody around you have something to say about it. And in fact, they use less because they all want to give you advice and then say. Stupid to go there. But so best the New Orleans intimates, it's actually a rational discussion. Can really make you change your mind. So anyway, at some point, no, I can really. Yes. I don't if I do the big community. [00:36:48] Yeah. And it's an interesting time. [00:36:50] You know, I think the one thing that unifies us from Vegan all across the world is that exact social dynamic of the ostracization. I've never angered anyone more that I didn't know. And then by telling them that I was Vegan, you know, a waiter, too. It's the most amazing statement in the world. And to bear that all the time is can be exhausting. However, what I will say and I tell my children all of the time, which is in your lifetime. What is happening not just with the tragic pandemic and things like that, it will come to fruition as being at least a very logical and sustainable lifestyle. And that questioning and discrimination ought to subside like before your very eyes. And how I lived will not necessarily hopefully be how you lived. So that will be interesting, to say the very least. I'm curious. [00:37:43] That's what I didn't say that. It's important to say to your listeners know that even if you're not getting food, you should actually go for it. Again, beauty, because it's a question of transparency. You just want to know what is in their product. And you never think that it would be animal based. So for sure, for just that reason. It's interesting. I tried to get them to begin looking for show. [00:38:04] I concur. [00:38:05] And I think the majority of of women and men that I know that wear makeup and and do use Vegan and try to use plant based products are not Vegan. They just they really do care about and I like what you said, the transparency, you know, understanding the ingredients, or at very least when you Google them, not being horrified at what they are. Should be something we demand of our products, right? [00:38:30] Yes, sure. In France, you have many mobile apps that help you to decode, decipher resistant ingredients needs for cosmetics. And the foreshores is the trend of seeing green products. But most of the time, people are very, very amazed about what they find and surprise. But what defines a population even full, put it is for you. So I think it's important that actually people just getting read get away with it. And transparency's for sure the key. It's a key value. [00:38:59] I do, too. I completely concur. I like to sign off all of my podcasts with kind of reaching into you as a person, as a business owner, as a founder, as a father. We've been in interesting times and and it's been, you know, a lot of people. It sounds like yourself highly included in that have done a lot of self reflection, have looked at their own industries, even if they were beneficial in the past, even if they prospered during the pandemic and had created a new dialog with themselves about what it means now. You know, to be kind of surfing out this pandemic and even looking forward to hopefully the cessation. Do you have, like a top piece of advice or two pieces of advice that you give yourself or your community or your daughter regularly that you've kind of honed in to the tincture or the next year the nectar of of what is good and what to drive your life by? [00:39:55] What to sail your ship by? [00:39:58] Well, I I don't know if it will be your words of wisdom, but actually I, I always say be aware and do good. I mean, by that that's I think you should know what you are doing. Know what you're eating. Know what you're actually puts on your lips, on your skin. Know the consequences of what you know, Che's health. What is he done? May be behind what you purchase and do goods. I mean by that, doing the right choices and trying to do something fair. Something that is why it's something that you feel is why. It's something that is completely aligned with your values and convictions. And I think that is the main point. So that's why I said to my children, I have one daughter and two sons. So to my children. And for Scheu is something that actually gave me also now saying that if you if you get into an entrepreneurial product, it's for creating something new. And this new stuff has to be aware and do goods, do some good in a way. So that's actually something that gets me in every actions. [00:41:04] I love that. I think that's absolutely perfect. I'm going to quote you on that when I quote his podcast and do good. The more simple them are more profound, as are Buddhist philosophers and lay out zoo have proven.
