Speaker 1: Did I say everybody's name correctly? Yeah?
Speaker 3: You did?
Speaker 1: Are you doing Tyre? And how you're doing? Daphne? Let's
Speaker 1: stick with Daphne and Tya? How about that?
Speaker 4: I knew I got that right, It's perfect.
Speaker 1: Great. Now tell me the name of your business.
Speaker 4: Well, the company name is Casi Beverage, right, which is
Speaker 4: a combination of our last names, right, and then our tour.
Speaker 4: Two products of the Coueurs are Daphanie lemon Cello and
Speaker 4: Daphanie barry Cello.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, now Daphne. Because I'm a bounce. So what
Speaker 1: I do is I just say your names. That way
Speaker 1: we know exactly who I'm talking to, and I just
Speaker 1: lay it out there for one of y'all to do.
Speaker 1: Who should I response? Told you respond to Hopscott So,
Speaker 1: Daphne Liquor. How does liquor played a role in your
Speaker 1: life that you felt that you can create a drink
Speaker 1: that somebody would want to buy.
Speaker 5: So? I grew up in the country Waynesburg, Georgia, not
Speaker 5: far from Augusta, Georgia, and my grand my uncle had
Speaker 5: a moonshine still and part of the induction into adulthood
Speaker 5: was taking a shot of moonshine. And whether you were
Speaker 5: I the gender, you had to take this moonshine shot.
Speaker 5: And my grandmother would make homemade lemonade. So we would
Speaker 5: add the lemonade to the moonshine for the women in
Speaker 5: order for us to sort of put an edge take
Speaker 5: the edge off of that moonshine taste for your shot.
Speaker 5: And so lemon plus some sort of alcohol equals the
Speaker 5: ingredients for lemon cello. So I as a child was
Speaker 5: inducted into the hall of vodka or some other grain
Speaker 5: base and women together to make.
Speaker 2: A great k.
Speaker 1: See all that country talk like everybody in the country
Speaker 1: is doing what your grandfather did. Now for me, I'm
Speaker 1: not a drinker, So educate me on what exactly what
Speaker 1: is moonshine? What is moonshine? But we hear it a lot,
Speaker 1: what exactly is moonshine?
Speaker 5: Moonshine is it's actually illegal, but it is made from
Speaker 5: the seal of using grains to make I mean, it's
Speaker 5: a really distillation process, but the base of it is grains,
Speaker 5: and you know, all kinds of alcohol and so ethanol.
Speaker 5: So you put put that together and gets you some
Speaker 5: good moonshine. So it's pretty strong. It's probably the strongest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you say, put hair on your chest clear?
Speaker 5: Yes, everclear is like everclear is like a baby formula
Speaker 5: of moonshine.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, now tal you now, Okay, Now that's her story. Okay,
Speaker 1: Now do you have somebody in the country to that
Speaker 1: made you like a passing of a womanhood that you
Speaker 1: got a guzz litle gallon of moonshine in your life?
Speaker 1: How to tell me your story? It gotta be. It
Speaker 1: got to the top of her story. Now that I
Speaker 1: let Daphney leave, because I tell you, you got to get
Speaker 1: a better story than her moonshine story. The floor is yours.
Speaker 4: I cannot like like she wins, but I'm sharing something
Speaker 4: with you that I probably have never shared with my mother.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: But I also both my parents are from New Roe's, Louisiana.
Speaker 4: So every summer I would go to the country with
Speaker 4: my grandmother. Well, she did not make moonshine, but right,
Speaker 4: she would always give us a little sip of it.
Speaker 4: Started with wine coolers, right, and then I guess after
Speaker 4: she felt like we graduated. You know, we got a
Speaker 4: little maybe crown with a little crown with a lot
Speaker 4: of coke, and we thought we were doing something. I
Speaker 4: wasn't getting the strong stuff like Daphne, but you know
Speaker 4: I had my little country and introduction to alcohol to
Speaker 4: growing up.
Speaker 1: See, I don't know Tyer and Daphne. If y'all giving
Speaker 1: Louisiana people in Georgia people country people bad name. I
Speaker 1: don't know, y'all. They don't know how to raised kids obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, because they love well child protect The service
Speaker 1: needs to be lining up, sweeping, doing the big sweep
Speaker 1: down in the countries of the country land of Georgia
Speaker 1: and Louisiana. So I'm from Louisiana. My parents from Streetports,
Speaker 1: so I can attest that goes down with regularity, okay.
Speaker 1: And I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't
Speaker 1: have to experience any liquor in my life until I
Speaker 1: was of age to be able to make the decision
Speaker 1: on my own. But that's not a bad thing. Because
Speaker 1: you two young ladies, uh met in Houston, Texas and
Speaker 1: with your friends, with your kids, just attending their academy,
Speaker 1: the dance academy. How did that relationship start to get
Speaker 1: into the whole idea of being business partners.
Speaker 5: So with you, Defney, Yeah, So Taya and I'll let
Speaker 5: her share the story about their move our fast forward
Speaker 5: in the story. Our children were at the same dance studios,
Speaker 5: became close friends, and we're starting to spend a ton
Speaker 5: of time together. And anyone has an experience as a
Speaker 5: dance mom, you're together with other dance moms and your
Speaker 5: children four days a week during the weekdays, and almost
Speaker 5: every weekend all day, sometimes two day weekends at dance competition.
Speaker 5: So we spent a lot of time together. So Taya
Speaker 5: and I grew close after spending so much time together
Speaker 5: as a dance moms, and that friendship turned into bringing
Speaker 5: our friendship circle in. So we would hang out every
Speaker 5: other weekend, sharing life together as a friends circle. And
Speaker 5: we would always have two good things, good food and
Speaker 5: good drinks. And so I was in charge of the
Speaker 5: drinking youth since it was always at my home, which
Speaker 5: is how we started to make cocktails together, which then
Speaker 5: morphed into this business. But I'm gonna let Taya share
Speaker 5: the first part of the story of how we even
Speaker 5: came to be together in Missouri City Texas, which is
Speaker 5: right outside of Houston Town.
Speaker 1: I like to believe liquor had have something to do
Speaker 1: with this conversation somewhere happy hour of something because I
Speaker 1: can't see y'all just it's academy and then y'all just go,
Speaker 1: how about some liquor. Let's get in business. How did
Speaker 1: that conversation something? See, Daphne Chief gave that great story.
Speaker 1: She really got boring, she got boring. Taya, please help
Speaker 1: me with this story.
Speaker 4: Because you want you want the real deal, Yes.
Speaker 1: Ma'am, Yes, ma'am, Yes ma'am, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 4: We had to check these girls in right on a
Speaker 4: good day, seven o'clock in the morning, right right, and
Speaker 4: we would leave these competitions after awards, let's say him
Speaker 4: thirty eleven o'clock at night, and we were there all
Speaker 4: day in the stands, and we would hear the same
Speaker 4: song at least one hundred times. And at one point
Speaker 4: we were like, we gotta find a way to make
Speaker 4: it through this, and guess what the cure was.
Speaker 1: Liquor.
Speaker 4: We found the perfect not for the perfect cocktail, A
Speaker 4: cup of.
Speaker 1: Joy okay, a cup of joy okay okay, and.
Speaker 4: We drank responsibly we were responsible, right right right, it
Speaker 4: lead it a little something to get us through those
Speaker 4: long twelve hour days when we were supporting our little
Speaker 4: loved ones.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, I'm gonna read the something I did
Speaker 1: some research about black female entrepreneurs. They say this state
Speaker 1: said that. Harvard Business Review released a new reports sharing
Speaker 1: that in the US, seventeen percent of black women are
Speaker 1: in the process of starting or running new businesses, compared
Speaker 1: to just ten percent of white women and fifteen percent
Speaker 1: of white men. However, there's a catch. Those black female
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs take the lead early lead on only three percent
Speaker 1: continue to run the business through maturity, which means they
Speaker 1: start the business but it doesn't either collapses or they
Speaker 1: decided to go in a different direction or go back
Speaker 1: to work in a forty hour week job. The reasons
Speaker 1: for the drop our point to obstacles in assessing capital
Speaker 1: and the types of businesses launch tend to be in
Speaker 1: a crowded marketplace where lower margins. Let's talk about your marketplace,
Speaker 1: because you know, very ambitious, I would not I don't
Speaker 1: have a clue as to how I would even venture
Speaker 1: into the liquor business. What started mate, what created this
Speaker 1: as been a real possibility deafney.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So we went on a trip to the French rivier
Speaker 5: with a group of folks and then traveled over to
Speaker 5: Samafi Coast. I had already loved Limonchello for quite some time,
Speaker 5: so I was evaluating or judging everyone's lemonchello. My husband
Speaker 5: said you should start your own lemonchello, which I laughed at.
Speaker 5: My husband's a serial entrepreneur. He will start a business
Speaker 5: overnight if you give him the reins. And so I
Speaker 5: want to tell you when she got to dinner later
Speaker 5: on that night, after a few, you know, rounds of drinks,
Speaker 5: so I said, hey, do you want to do this together?
Speaker 5: Because we have been looking to do something together for
Speaker 5: quite sometimes. So said, hey, do you want to do
Speaker 5: this lemon cello thing together? And so both of us
Speaker 5: having had several drinks and have said yes, not really
Speaker 5: knowing what we were signing up for. And so my
Speaker 5: husband and Stephen and then a Zeine when they got
Speaker 5: back to the States, they did not consult us immediately.
Speaker 5: They just started the business. This is you know, we're
Speaker 5: going to start this business. Let's figure it out. And
Speaker 5: so I think about a week after we returned to
Speaker 5: the States, my husband said, okay, you and Taya, here's
Speaker 5: your business plan. What is your business plan? You all
Speaker 5: need to get it together. We're going to give you
Speaker 5: all the capital that you need to launch this thing
Speaker 5: I called Tayos like ty you, we're in business. So
Speaker 5: we started to do our research and realized that it
Speaker 5: was a male dominated industry, particularly white male dominated industry,
Speaker 5: which Ta Tia and I, who believed in overcoming obstacles
Speaker 5: and challenges, we thought, yeah, game on, we're going to
Speaker 5: break through this industry and we're going to do this.
Speaker 5: And so I think a part of it was just
Speaker 5: the lore of knowing that there were not many of
Speaker 5: us in the industry, and we started to just really
Speaker 5: WIDENI circle of them, talking to different people with humility, saying, hey,
Speaker 5: we don't know a lot, can you teach us? And
Speaker 5: everyone opened up their hearts and minds that we're counted
Speaker 5: along the way and really taught us the business in
Speaker 5: addition to our own research, but just really taught us
Speaker 5: the business. And then my husband, who is once again
Speaker 5: entrepreneurial businessman, his acumen and business acumen is out of
Speaker 5: this world, really laid the foundation because he owned successful
Speaker 5: businesses and so he's really coached and consulted us and
Speaker 5: a Zeem has also been a coaching consultant around marketing
Speaker 5: and branding. And what does that mean? So I say
Speaker 5: to folks, just wind your circle, get free labor. If
Speaker 5: you have husbands or spouses or significant others, use them
Speaker 5: as free labor. But really more importantly, don't take obstacles
Speaker 5: and challenges as an obstacle or challenge, but as an
Speaker 5: opportunity for you to overcome.
Speaker 1: Well, there's an amazing thing is that I'm talking to
Speaker 1: Taya and Daphne. They've created one of the kind original
Speaker 1: beverage that is Vokomba and infused with the finest natural ingredients.
Speaker 1: The key right there, natural ingredients. I'm assuming that is
Speaker 1: a selling card or calling card that differentiates you guys
Speaker 1: from the rest of the industry.
Speaker 4: Tya, Yes, it absolutely is, and I think that along
Speaker 4: this journey we were determined to stay true to that,
Speaker 4: and for a number of reasons that was challenged, right
Speaker 4: because it's definitely more cost effective to use something from
Speaker 4: concentrate or to add some food coloring our preservatives even
Speaker 4: for like coloring or look. And we said, listen, we
Speaker 4: want something of quality that we can stand proud of
Speaker 4: and that we would actually want to consume ourselves. So
Speaker 4: even when that was questioned, we never faltered on changing
Speaker 4: at recipe.
Speaker 1: Now, it's interesting because I said something about a crowded marketplace.
Speaker 1: I would assume that you guys are entering into a
Speaker 1: crowded marketplace. And then margins and margins is important because
Speaker 1: that tells you how much you're going to make. And
Speaker 1: also if you you know, if your margin safe. For instance,
Speaker 1: if you're buying it for eight dollars and you're selling
Speaker 1: it for nine dollars, then that's you really got a
Speaker 1: bad business model. So the margin comes into play here.
Speaker 1: So now I want to really drill down just a
Speaker 1: little bit, tire, if you don't mind, about how did
Speaker 1: you guys start setting up the budget or the model,
Speaker 1: the business model of reality. This is what's going to cost.
Speaker 1: Did you do a ninety day plan, a six month plan,
Speaker 1: a five year plan? How did that work?
Speaker 4: You know what? It was a combination of all of that.
Speaker 4: But I think we have to start at that recipe
Speaker 4: we came up with, right because we also knew that
Speaker 4: making that quality of a product was going to be expensive. Right,
Speaker 4: if you're using fresh lemon juice, cane sugar and you're
Speaker 4: not using anything unnatural, you pay more for that product.
Speaker 4: So we knew that because we were starting with a
Speaker 4: premium recipe, that we may have to look somewhere else
Speaker 4: to maybe cut the cost, and so just figuring out
Speaker 4: what that right combination was right. So while we wanted
Speaker 4: to get bottles and packaging for our product, maybe stateside,
Speaker 4: it may not have been economical for us because of
Speaker 4: what we decided to do with this product itself. So
Speaker 4: I think the short term was one figuring out that piece, right,
Speaker 4: how do we afford these quality products and the bottle
Speaker 4: and packaging that it's going into and to your point,
Speaker 4: knowing where we wanted to sit in the marketplace, right,
Speaker 4: So we went and we did our research, and we
Speaker 4: went to look at other lemon cellos. What were they
Speaker 4: made of, what was there alcohol mix, where did they
Speaker 4: sit on the shelves, Because again, we wanted to set
Speaker 4: ourselves as a premium, but we also didn't want to
Speaker 4: price ourselves out of the market, especially as a new brand.
Speaker 4: So it was a delicate balance of figuring out what
Speaker 4: that right price point is If that.
Speaker 1: Makes sense, absolutely absolutely, we're talking to Tyre and Daphne.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna find out about their background.
Speaker 1: You know, we've just been talking about the business and
Speaker 1: joking around and having a good time and also delving
Speaker 1: into the process of how this relationship started, but also
Speaker 1: who are they from an academic standpoint, what type of
Speaker 1: jobs they have before they decided to become entrepreneurs in
Speaker 1: the liquor business. We'll be back with more money Making
Speaker 1: Conversation master Class and we will be taking your phone calls.
Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Money Making Conversations Masterclass hosted by
Speaker 6: Rashaan McDonald. Money Making Conversations Masterclass continues online at Moneymakingconversations
Speaker 6: dot com and follow money Making Conversations Masterclass on Facebook, Twitter,
Speaker 6: and Instagram.
Speaker 1: You know, really, I when I left IBM to be
Speaker 1: a stand up comedian, I just went out there and
Speaker 1: just follow my dreams. But I had a math degree.
Speaker 1: And so when I tell people I'm an entertainment a
Speaker 1: manager or a writer or stand up comedian, and I
Speaker 1: tell them I have a math degree, they would go,
Speaker 1: that don't make any sense. But it made sense to
Speaker 1: me because just because you started overheard on me that
Speaker 1: that's the game that you have to play your whole
Speaker 1: life because you follow your dreams. Now, with that being said,
Speaker 1: I want to find out the backgrounds of my guests
Speaker 1: who have started a brand, a brand in the liquor business.
Speaker 1: They they they've heard everything all in, they sayers, just
Speaker 1: like I heard when I said when people told me
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna be the next Witch of Pryor or,
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to be the next rich of Pride.
Speaker 1: I was just trying to follow my dreams. And so
Speaker 1: that's what I'm assuming that Tya and Jeff Daphne are doing.
Speaker 1: You're following your dreams.
Speaker 4: Correct, Who do you want to start with?
Speaker 1: See see see see I was trying to be I
Speaker 1: was just trying to be really cool this time, y'all
Speaker 1: gona we gonna say nothing to he called you have
Speaker 1: a night, awry Daphne. Daphne. I didn't know y'all go
Speaker 1: do a brother like that, because I thought I was
Speaker 1: really eloquent, you know, I thought I had motivated y'all
Speaker 1: just to dive on in. Yeah. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I was really it was really played out there. Y'all
Speaker 1: just would silent uper hello, Hello, and you know with
Speaker 1: shine you told us you're gonna call our names. We're
Speaker 1: not jumping. This is not jump rope. So Daphne, would
Speaker 1: I don't help you out O get that? That's right, Daphnie.
Speaker 1: What did you do or what are you currently doing
Speaker 1: as you build out this business? There's in a liquor area.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So, prior to doing this, I was an executive for
Speaker 5: a charter school network and a state superintendent. I retired
Speaker 5: and now I run. I'm an executive director for a
Speaker 5: nonprofit that allows high school students to have paid internships.
Speaker 5: And so the Kashem beverage is like my other job.
Speaker 5: But you know, I have a bachelor's, master's, a couple
Speaker 5: of vance degrees in chemistry, have one, and minor in
Speaker 5: mathematics also. So grew up in Augusta, Georgia, but definitely
Speaker 5: parents were set on all of our all of my
Speaker 5: siblings and I going for college, and so did the
Speaker 5: whole college thing. Came to Texas to find a husband,
Speaker 5: get a couple of advanced degrees. I was going to
Speaker 5: move back to Georgia. My husband said absolutely not. But
Speaker 5: a batting average of two out of three or point
Speaker 5: seventy five is really good. Point sixty six is really good.
Speaker 5: So I thought, well, I'm still winning with this batting
Speaker 5: average of advanced degrees and a husband, but not moving
Speaker 5: back to Georgia. So been in Houston for twenty plus years.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not mad. I was born and raised in Houston,
Speaker 1: So you're not going to hear anything negative from me
Speaker 1: about I won't turn this into a Houston story. But
Speaker 1: where you lay up, grad where you shop, where you eat,
Speaker 1: We're not going to do that. You're not going to
Speaker 1: do that. Now since I've got to call our name,
Speaker 1: excuse me, Daphney Taya, what is your academic training? Did
Speaker 1: you work at a fortueen five hundred company prior to
Speaker 1: taking on the responsibility of starting Kasheed.
Speaker 4: Well I did for a while, So have as many
Speaker 4: degrees as Daphne, But I did afoget.
Speaker 1: One hundred degrees. Daphnely, I'm gonna tell you some Daphne
Speaker 1: is the worst. You know, she had the great liquor story,
Speaker 1: moonshine story. Did she throw down? It wasn't enough to
Speaker 1: say she had a chemistry degree, but she gonna make
Speaker 1: me feel bad. And I got something to do with
Speaker 1: math too. I got a little math thing happening in
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 4: Right, Like your degree was cute, and I know I.
Speaker 1: Struggled with that math degree, but you got chemistry and math.
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, let me just say this, I'm
Speaker 5: actually still on the call m hm. So as the
Speaker 5: two of you are beating up on me, I'm still
Speaker 5: on the call. And to inspire your others to know
Speaker 5: that even if you work harder on your degrees, and
Speaker 5: you're like, oh, I work so hard, I can't change careers.
Speaker 5: Yes you can. You can do whatever you want to do.
Speaker 5: Your degrees only give you the soft skills of transformational skills.
Speaker 5: You can you can pivot and do whatever. So it
Speaker 5: was actually to inspire others to say it's actually okay
Speaker 5: to pivot right.
Speaker 1: Right, And you pivoted from what what what corporate job
Speaker 1: were you involved in? What does you degree in?
Speaker 5: Tyre Daphne Tayer?
Speaker 1: Could you because I can't talk anymore to Daphne about
Speaker 1: academic training if she just put down my little math degree, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slide over that I need uplift in my
Speaker 1: life right now, Taya.
Speaker 4: I need a right But let me tell you what
Speaker 4: makes it even worse. Right, So she has all these
Speaker 4: advanced like math degrees. And then she's also like a
Speaker 4: wizard with words, like she will make you, she will
Speaker 4: belittle you with words in a minute, and you won't
Speaker 4: even know what happened, right, right, right, right should She
Speaker 4: leaves people like standing in their dust the time when
Speaker 4: it's amazing to watch. But it's a whole nother that's
Speaker 4: a whole other company, right. But yeah, So I had
Speaker 4: a degree in chemical engineering. I actually went to work
Speaker 4: for Freedom a Wow, and started out in their manufacturing area,
Speaker 4: and then I went to into S and D. When
Speaker 4: I moved to New York and maritaz em. I moved
Speaker 4: to New Jersey and marriage okay, and so I did
Speaker 4: that for about ten years and then you know him
Speaker 4: in the music industry. And then we decided to have
Speaker 4: like a gazillion kids, and so I then became a
Speaker 4: stay at home mom.
Speaker 1: Wow, Kazilian, I won't even ask that number because that
Speaker 1: seems to like a lot gazilion later, it's not a
Speaker 1: commercial for Wi Fi. You're gazillionaire. You're a gazillionaire with kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: we have a phone call. We have a phone call
Speaker 1: right here, Miss sears, missus sears, Yes, how you doing?
Speaker 1: She's welcome to the money making Companies math class. I'm with
Speaker 1: Taya and Daphnie. You have a question for them of myself.
Speaker 3: Hello, ladies, and it's wonderful to hear what you're doing.
Speaker 3: And I just wanted to say to you that my
Speaker 3: daughter has bartender for for the past ten fifteen years
Speaker 3: and she absolutely loves it. And so my question to
Speaker 3: you is have you always had your family to support
Speaker 3: you in this in this field, because I really at
Speaker 3: first didn't support my daughter. And now after listening to
Speaker 3: you guys and how well you're doing and how intelligent
Speaker 3: you sound, I'm you know, I'm even more eager now
Speaker 3: to support my daughter and what she.
Speaker 1: She She's doing great day.
Speaker 3: And my daughter has had her recipes and Ebony magazine,
Speaker 3: she has worked the four seasons. She's just a natural
Speaker 3: chemist and she loves We're from the low country, South Carolina.
Speaker 3: I've always been around you know, good foods and flavors
Speaker 3: and that kind of thing. And she's good at what
Speaker 3: she does. But because this has not always been a female,
Speaker 3: you know kind of position, I mean, my family members
Speaker 3: and people have looked down on her.
Speaker 1: Well they shouldn't, I will tell you they shouldn't. I
Speaker 1: come from a family of six sisters. I have two brothers,
Speaker 1: and so I'm always a pro female because of my
Speaker 1: fore of my sisters are older than me. When I
Speaker 1: look at the Tian look. Because we talked about it
Speaker 1: at the very beginning of the interview. You are in
Speaker 1: a very male dominated industry and you put liquor in
Speaker 1: place with men. There's always that chauvinistic approach of a
Speaker 1: Domeanian approach how they look at women because liquor and
Speaker 1: an environment does that. But but for Daphne and Tyre,
Speaker 1: when you hear Missus Sears talk about how motivating this
Speaker 1: has been, hearing you two talk, hearing you overcome the challenges,
Speaker 1: how do you react, Tire or Daphne?
Speaker 5: Either one you can respond, well, I'll say this, I'll
Speaker 5: tell you where you're gonna go, no, no notice, I
Speaker 5: would that's going to say that link. I think this
Speaker 5: is really important for her and for you to understand
Speaker 5: that link. We can remove the archaic definitions of what
Speaker 5: a career or a job is by simply doing the
Speaker 5: thing that you do well and making a name for
Speaker 5: yourself and being successful. And so sometimes we think, oh,
Speaker 5: if they're not a doctor, or if they're not an executive,
Speaker 5: then we don't want to uplift that passion. But our
Speaker 5: passion should be uplifted. And the support that she needs
Speaker 5: is to be able to make a name for herself
Speaker 5: in the industry as a bartender, as a mixologist, as
Speaker 5: someone who is an influencer and has a voice in
Speaker 5: the industry, and there's room for her. And whenever she
Speaker 5: feels like, whether as a female or someone new to
Speaker 5: the industry or someone who's breaking into a different industry,
Speaker 5: if she thinks there's not room at the table for her,
Speaker 5: then just tell her to make room, bring a fold
Speaker 5: in chair, make your own space at the table. But
Speaker 5: as a family member, what we can do is pour
Speaker 5: into someone and ensure that we support them and being
Speaker 5: the best in their industry. So do the research, who's
Speaker 5: the top person in her industry? Where does she want
Speaker 5: to go? And then learn from them so that she
Speaker 5: can then and sit next to them or take their place.
Speaker 5: But we've got to remove this like if you're not
Speaker 5: an X, Y or Z, then you're not successful, and
Speaker 5: instead say, in this day and time, whatever you do,
Speaker 5: be the best at it. Be at the tip of
Speaker 5: your game. Because the best way to show people approve
Speaker 5: people wrong is to prove the possible way they created
Speaker 5: the impossible cool tier.
Speaker 1: As we go here, Tyre, I want to make sure
Speaker 1: people understand, you know, that's hard work, and the hard
Speaker 1: work hasn't finished. And I understand Miss Sears being motivated
Speaker 1: and being uplifted by this, but you know, y'all work hard.
Speaker 1: Y'all still got to be parents to your kids. You
Speaker 1: still have to be you know, wives to the husband.
Speaker 1: You still have to go out there and be professional
Speaker 1: about this dream. And this dream every day inches forward
Speaker 1: sometimes and sometimes it doesn't even inch the next day.
Speaker 1: And that's the frustrating part. And when you talk about
Speaker 1: success and starting to be motivated by this tire, please
Speaker 1: explain to us what keeps you afloat, what keeps you
Speaker 1: moving forward?
Speaker 4: You know, thank you for saying that, because and that's
Speaker 4: a great point you bring up, right, because we are
Speaker 4: really doing something we love and receiving a lot of
Speaker 4: accolades for it, right, But it is hard work and
Speaker 4: we are making a lot of sacrifices financially, time, energy,
Speaker 4: bandwidth like all of that. But I think, and I
Speaker 4: thought about this when she was talking about her daughter
Speaker 4: like the passion and drive come out of doing something
Speaker 4: that you love. Right, you have something bigger leading you
Speaker 4: and pushing you through that. And so I think, you know,
Speaker 4: we're winning and she's winning because we're able to do
Speaker 4: something every day that is so easy to do even
Speaker 4: with all the struggles and hardships, because we believe in
Speaker 4: it and we love it awesome.
