00:07:47.880really follow the story and understand like the real underlying the underlying like thread man
00:07:54.760you're just a serial entrepreneur and fucking an entrepreneur like entrepreneurs just don't like
00:08:01.080the word no they don't like to be told about the things they can't do so they find a hell of a lot
00:08:08.700of ambition and like achieving the things that they aren't supposed to achieve and like i hope
00:08:16.560you're following your fans embrace that the most like that's the dopest thing about you and your
00:08:21.880brother and you know here just this all of this shit like it's it's not written and you guys are
00:08:27.980writing like your own thing it's crazy bro i don't know what's going on kev but but i i do look to
00:08:33.380people like you and uh uh and and and duane even um and you guys kind of paved the blueprint for
00:08:40.540the lack of blueprint that exists now in this in this world that we're doing i mean bro you're
00:08:45.240come on you're you're a you're icon you're you're probably one of the biggest stars in the world
00:08:49.360right now definitely the biggest guest we've ever had on impulsive and the fact that you're gracing
00:08:52.820us with your time i mean you know this this this doesn't uh uh go uh unnoticed but i appreciate
00:08:59.560I mean, look, the one thing you guys should definitely realize that I think the one thing that we should just clear up right away is Dwayne would never do this because he's not he's not the same type of person.
00:09:10.460Right. And I'm not calling him a bad person in no way, shape or form.
00:09:13.780But. Right. Like you guys, like we're saying stuff without saying, but I feel like, you know, I also just got off the phone with before you got here.
00:09:23.000Dr. Pat. Ah, I love Dr. Pat. Sports rehab. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, I found his I mean.
00:09:29.560When you got in that car accident, that's who got me back. Right. That's who got like single handedly. That's who got me back. You were in the hospital for 10 days. I was in the hospital for 14, 14 days. And they wanted me to go through like the rehabilitation in the hospital.
00:09:44.280And, you know, as a guy who prides himself on being physically fit, you know, when you're at a point of having no control, where you really see your body go back to ground zero, the trust in who you're going to attach yourself to get you back up to the space of good is important.
00:10:06.980So Dr. Pat, man, Dr. Pat has been, I've been with Dr. Pat for years and I called him and I was like, dude, I don't want to go to like a sports rehab center where there are levels below what you are and what you've done.
00:10:22.980i would much rather you and i started ground zero be honest with me about how weak how bad
00:10:30.220so that i got my stages of growth because you know the hospital talk is different and the the
00:10:37.000people there the therapists and stuff um and their rehab centers are just different and there's a
00:10:42.580different level of patience there's a different level of of understanding and it's all very minimal
00:10:47.540to a certain degree because you know they just want they want to make sure that you're careful so
00:10:51.640um i i wanted to be in a space of comfort to be minimal and and with somebody that i knew knew me
00:10:58.480understood my body and would understand the injury and dr pat did a fucking phenomenal job man like
00:11:05.560it was scary we were worried we were worried about the understatement i mean you're talking
00:11:10.660about i remember i remember like it got to the point where you you you have the like the light
00:11:18.740bulb of oh fuck like the things that you don't really think too much about when you can't do
00:11:26.980them anymore it's it's catastrophic yeah you know i'm talking taking a sock on and off i'm talking
00:11:33.180about you know the the putting a belt on or lifting up a bowl or play like the things that you
00:11:41.520just do and you have no idea or mindset of how fortunate you are to be able to do them it's
00:11:50.820it's a real it's a real fucking shell shock what's that what's that saying a healthy man wishes for
00:11:57.080a million things an unhealthy man wishes for just one one yeah isn't it crazy how much you take shit
00:12:02.220for granted until you're laying in that bed looking at that doctor looking at that nurse putting that
00:25:20.080And in learning more, sometimes you should forgive more.
00:25:22.840In forgiving more, sometimes it can create an opportunity for better shit to happen.
00:25:27.060Some people don't deserve the second opportunity because the thing could be so drastic.
00:25:31.960And the level of attention and the spotlight that has been shined on some have changed and redirected a stance in culture, in corporation, in the road to equality.
00:45:24.100He positioned himself in the business to not be a work for hire,
00:45:32.200be a partner control the entity and the only entity that he cares about most which is the
00:45:40.160entity of crowd engagement my live performance he controls it he puts up shows when he wants to
00:45:49.400he controls that tour and business 95 i'm willing to bet he's partnering with live nation and they
00:45:57.280still get a small piece but that's just because of the overall business and the relationship between
00:46:03.080Chappelle and Live Nation throughout the years so he allows him to come in and still have that
00:46:07.720business but Dave controls that he can do it whenever he wants nobody else can control that
00:46:14.420Dave doesn't have the worry of a studio saying we're not going to book you and do movies with
00:46:21.820you we're pulling your book from the shelves we're not going to air your television program etc
00:46:28.740we're not doing the branding partnership you're we're pulling you from the nba and all the
00:46:35.740sponsorship he doesn't he's not a part of that he has no desire to be so the one partnership that
00:46:42.360he made and that was in his best interest was one that came from years of like friendship and
00:46:47.560building so the netflix and chappelle relationship is one that i love and value because that's a true
00:46:53.780relationship that's not a we're in this based off of what some say and what some may not say
00:46:59.260we understand one another and we're best for each other because we understand each other
00:47:04.040i don't have that luxury right like jp morgan chase draft kings i mean c4 hydro fabletics and
00:47:13.740that's just me throwing a couple out i can go down the list between netflix nbc universal peacock
00:47:21.360sam's club you got partners i mean i have a lot of partners roku i mean i have tons of partners
00:47:27.680and i say partners because these aren't these aren't like work for hires we're in relationships
00:47:35.900where my interest is your interest and your interest is my interest audible same like i
00:47:41.380There's a list, and I'm committed to the relationship and the growth behind it.
00:47:47.020So right now, my resume, underneath the corporate structure and the personal appearance and ambassador and ownership side of it, is one of progression and success.
00:48:01.820Attaching me to a brand has been proven to elevate a brand.
00:49:34.300It just means that every once in a while, giving a reminder is cool.
00:49:37.380But for the bigger picture, for the bigger scheme and the bigger idea of the business that I'm in, you know, I want and need families, households on a global level.
00:49:51.580I mean, Hart House, I've now got a fucking fast food chain.
00:56:52.880And the thing that we forget, you're in a business that's not promised.
00:56:59.220At the end of the day, if you're a work for hire
00:57:01.280and they decide not to hire you no more, you're just not hired.
00:57:07.660You built nothing. Now, if you are a work for hire and while being a work for hire, you build your likeness and that likeness gets you into the rooms where opportunities exist to make you a partner, owner, investor face.
00:58:49.760That's where you're talking about the bigger side of thinking and the bigger concept that some can't see because they only look at the work for hire aspect.
01:01:14.960I want to put real skin in the game, and I want us to sit across from each other and say we equally share the same investment, and we equally want the same thing.
01:01:25.880I'm not looking for the opportunity of exit.
01:01:28.720I'm looking for the opportunity of mirroring your longevity.
01:01:32.220How do I get to a space where Grand Cormino can basically be generations of?
