community that can help us make it through today's guess i've got to read his intro because it's a whole lot of stuff and i don't want to mess any of it up so you're not kissing someone on the glasses our guest today is a native of trinidad he has over twenty years in entertainment business he's known as the n d p the sargent the spin doctor in the music and entertainment industry he's food white good and i'm not even going to go on because it's just too much stuff but he takes intertainment to the very next level and is matched by no one ok he's my radio brother he's a friend and he's truly a pleasure to have around aliases i just i just was like you know i'm going to create my own names for facebook same person room or sim but i said you know this page really have separated my business so i always for years i've separated my business i world to be my d j world i want to my entertainment world and i want to my singing career to be separately and so i've created my social media pages in my life i not as a comedian i just you know i compartmentalize what i need to and it's been working if it works right so let's stay there for a minute i want to know you know a lot of times people in the entertainment business they change their names i guess it could be good i guess could be bad some people keep their nice what do you think that should they keep their names or change their names i think is their personal preference and choice i could be that could be shot p diddy that could be busta rhymes it could be anybody he's another want to change his name for the meantime listen does anybody know regular true name i do i do as well to yeah right you know red alerts real name his woman in the church had a restaurant called harvest manno back in the day and i worked in the restaurant i started as a busboy and worked my way up into the restaurant and i just got this passion with food i remember the chefs at the time were teaching me little things and next thing sound catering i'm a full service production company so yeah let's go there so the rocks i want to take a group as we've all sort of production company and lighting sound band d j s catering security transportation well i favorite i've been asked this question numerous times and i've always come back to the answer every single one and some people said so my closest friends are like it can be you have got to learn to like pick  your plan i have my plan that's right so it was very hard and i messed up relationships along the way because right here your vision and what you want my vision my immaturity right not listening  right and sometimes when you do sometimes the right person be right there but you don't know it right because you're not acting in a certain way right so there was some relationships that were messed up there were some that were rekindled there was some that just had to go and now i'm in a different place where you know i'm thinking more with my brain less my emotion and heart and i know what i want specifically and you have to give me what i want and if you don't give me what i want then this and i have to be a two way accountability for me because a lot of you know some of the women i've been with they just didn't understand like they understood it they didn't understand some were infatuated with the you  knew that they would say no but you know to think of myself as not ordinary you know entertainers and not go back to the yeah fisher company is wait if you can't agree to that way worst the aftermath what's going to happen after this very quickly i did it i did an event you know out of town and i'm going to say where i was because i don't want to incriminate right promoter hired me the initial promoter hired me gave me a price with my writer never number two if you want me this is the price is the price is right if you can't pay this price then i can do the event and it's ok and what and what that says it was a few things so this was two deals that i actually had to buy myself versus actually have you know a management team that works with me for me to handle some of my fares because when i'm on the front line being entrepreneur boss and talent it gets convoluted allowed myself to be more in tune with people i'm not a behind the couch type of guy i want to deal with people directly on and so that's that's how i move but now i'm seeing that people take advantage of you take your kindness so listen i'm still going to be personable but you so how did you develop quickly some of these business relationships p diddy was it for events you know how they come to be people recommend you what they just happen to know your history is go we want him all of the above relationships our friend they were friends someone put me in someone's place when i when i worked with diddy i was working at jobs doing justin's i was doing in the street night on two nights i was doing the monday night and i was going to play music on mondays i was

learned because that's what i know right so i won't conducted any differently and so i'm i'm just grateful for terrestrial radio i'm grateful to cares you know if that's where you learned all this that's where i learned that's how the beast a radio show started because of what kiss taught right it went into that right where i had any couldn't sustain because they were used to when in like new york running one station of course here let me ask you for three tips that you can give to number two plan i have this thing that i say i say this in turns young people especially proper planning
