Watching the hot seat has made me realize that their are a lot of people who try to start businesses, but are naive and can’t get out of their own way in order to have a successful business…..even when someone whose done it at a high level tries to give them game 🤯
This man said Month 1 - consult Month 2 - shoot content Month 3 - edit content Month 4 - email marketing If I had to wait 4 months and pay you $4000 for something that can get done in 30 days, you aren’t the person I should be working with. This is a clear conversation that shows he does not do what he’s offering. He doesn’t even know how to do what he’s offering at a high quality.
First of all David, thank you for this hot seat. It has been a mirror for me as an entrepreneur. Most importantly it shows how delusional and scattered we can be. This show also shows the importance of coaching and mentorship. I think some social media influencers have shown us that we can snap and become a business owner, when truth is we need to be working a 9-5 while getting mentorship and working on our business until we get it to where it needs to be. Again thank you. 🙏
He made a business plan with NO SOCIAL PROOF 😅 . As a marketer I was really excited to watch this and now I just have to 😂😂! Also please bring a marketing agency/marketer to the hot seat please 🙏
Unless he’s poorly explaining it, his business model is a scam. Anytime the value & effectiveness of your work for client 1 is dependent on the budget of funds received from clients 2 through 20, that is a Ponzi scheme. Too many black business do this. Example: I ordered candles in June but didn’t receive them until October due to “supply issues.” No, you needed more orders to buy the bulk supplies you needed to complete my order is what really happened.
I actually really enjoyed that young man.. I can’t say anything bad about him because he’s actually using his brain, HE’S THINKING. and he may have some things to learn, but he is confident, charismatic and putting forth effort. He has nothing to be ashamed about, there are people out here doing nothing with the brain God gave them, I send him many blessings!
David! Every young black man needs to be mentored by you, you are so insightful. You have a very unique way of interacting with people, it is so inspiring to see the way you are patient and listening and providing valuable feedback to your guests. I enjoy and appreciate you David Shands 💕💕💕
I believe If you are sitting in the hot seat your main objective should be to receive constructive criticism from an authentic space, a person who respects business overall. David literally has made millions, gotta respect his wisdom, and take the heat and hopefully pivot after that.
Lawd!!!!😂.... This one was needed. A lot of us have been there, but self-awareness is key! You gotta know when to tone it down, maybe change directions, or quit. Most importantly, learn how to listen to those more experienced/ sucessful than you in certain areas
Whoa this hot seat went from him talking about his record label being a movement to trying to convince David to hire him. Talk about lack of focus. He has the potential for success though, he’s a great talker. He just needs focus and commitment to that focus.
Jack of all trades , master of none comes to mind but THAT is even a compliment. Who is the “we” he is referring to ? Successful people agree. If you are the smartest person in the room,you’re in the wrong room. He needs to get in some very basic rooms and do nothing but listen.
I’ll make it plain and simple. Count the number of times in this interview you hear: “My focus is to ____”. Now go back and look at how many different items are put in that blank spot. That’s legitimately the problem here. Shands pointed it out multiple times
This was very helpful! Having multiple arms of your business is cool, learning the priority order and what can make way for the next "arm" is hella important.
I was really rooting for him in the beginning. But as it started playing out, I now realize why he hasn't gotten anywhere. This is why you should ALWAYS ask questions and do your research when someone is trying to sell you something. He's a great talker and could easily get someone to buy into what he's doing as you saw with Dave until he started breaking it down.
My guy mentioned 4 focuses in an hour! Now I gotta go back to the beginning with my business because I can't complete anything after this confusing conversation. Thanks Dave for enduring through this and trying to make sense of it. I'm from New York City as well and one thing we know how to do it talk our way outta/into stuff.
David, I’m so glad you are talking to these babies. They so need it. I feel like they see entrepreneurship as something glamorous and sexy but they don’t know how to start, where to go, what to do. He needs to focus on one thing. I felt you trying to tell him this but he couldn’t even receive it.
I agree with this! We be having conversations about everything else! Heated debates! Hot seat about sports! Let’s keep the hot seat about bizznizz goin!
18:09 😂😂😂 He tricked him. Federal trademarks are not for a specific state. Although you can trademark with your state, it’s not with the USPTO which is what David was referring to.
The opportunity to come and practice speaking about your business or your brand... The opportunity to come and practice presenting yourself and your story...this is amazing.
He needs to structure his fees. He should do a consultation fee before signing any agreements with potential clients. It sounds like he doesn’t understand scaling because he isn’t charging enough. I know bc I’ve been there. Poor thing. I hope he figures it out.
Way to stand 10 Jeff. I see the vision. 🔥 Definitely some gems dropped on both sides. I can’t wait to see all that blossoms from these seeds. This one of them interviews you’ll post clips mixed in with a video of your accolades in the future. Two books I’ve been recently introduced to are Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Morgan. I found a lot of value in them and if you haven’t already give them a look and I’m confident you’ll do the same. Much Love. ✌🏾
David, take it back he is not going to make it. Uber 🚗 he’s yours. I have not finished the video, so there are going to be some edits for sure. But if he says “in regards” one more time with his lying a$$. You’re trying to SCAM people my guy! You don’t know what you’re doing or you would have done it for yourself, at least a little bit 😢. Ok, I finished the video and I don’t think the kid learned anything at all. Sad to say but he is just a nothing person paying the government to have a business and not the other way around.
Dam it's crazy to see. Cuz just not getting it. Income is $1000 a month but the expenses is $4000 minimum. You've already admitted you can't perform all of the services yourself. Not to mention the movement isn't a movement. MY guy is a finesser. If he took the time to humble himself he may have learned something with the right questions. For one, I would've asked what would be your first 5-10 steps.
At 15:45, words have more power, meaning, and impact than we know. The reason why the Black Panther, Civil Rights, and Malcolm X movements have died is due to what they were called. Everything eventually becomes what it is called. If the young man knew that anything called a "movement" is destined to be temporary, he would not call the long term "culture changing" goal he is trying to achieve a movement.
This podcast im bout to glean everything I can from it because this podcadt ALONE packs enough value to help me shift into my purpose. I can feel a change after 3 episodes. I subbed after the 2nd video I watched. This podcast you gotta bring the pad and pen to so you can take notes. This pod is sn answer to my prayers.
Wow this stressed me out. I understand where he is coming from, he just needs to listen more. Then again he's 23 so, he still think he knows it all. He will be humbled by 25.
hes the reason why i love New Yorkers lol. You can tell him hes doing it all wrong and still want to help cuz his humor but also the vision os always large with NY. Hes actually trying to figure something out
Good episode! When we dream too big, like you said, with your perspective, you're right, and we will get in our own way. 💯💯❤️ great points. I needed to hear this. Thanks, guys. Jeff Jaye Williams
😂😂😂 living in the clouds for reallllll.... I dont like to laugh at people during the Hot Seat but damnnnn.... He dont want to hear you David. 😅😅😅 This was nauseating 😢😅. I didn't think this was going to end. It looked like it just started near the end...😅
This is the type of people I have come across. He has a great mind, but he likes to tell you the plans, but never really gets it done! He needs to slow down
Its people like this that give the real entrepreneurs a bad name. he needs to perfect being a follower first, then he'll be ready to lead, IMO. How can you not take advice from someone whose been where he's trying to go.
Technically, by definition, one who submit to the Will of GOD is Muslim. The sun is Muslim. The stars are Muslim. The trees are Muslim. The animals are Muslim, etc.

Real Talk! Getting Out of your Way is It!!
The fact that David can follow this confusing conversation so well proves how good he is at conducting interviews!
You took the words out of my mouth!!!! Lol
Yes I was confused, he was all over the place.
Listen. I was confused. Dave is a gem.
And David's patients is remarkable because I would have ended this much sooner 😂
I understood everything he said, but he's not laser focused on step one.
These hot seat sessions are sooooo necessary. 😆
I'm happy that you agree! lol
This man said
Month 1 - consult
Month 2 - shoot content
Month 3 - edit content
Month 4 - email marketing
If I had to wait 4 months and pay you $4000 for something that can get done in 30 days, you aren’t the person I should be working with.
This is a clear conversation that shows he does not do what he’s offering. He doesn’t even know how to do what he’s offering at a high quality.

Thank You for tuning in, it is my pleasure!
@@RealSocialProof How do I get in the hot seat? I would love for David to give me advice on my business.
He hasn’t done anything successfully but is selling that he can do anything.
He made a business plan with NO SOCIAL PROOF 😅 . As a marketer I was really excited to watch this and now I just have to 😂😂! Also please bring a marketing agency/marketer to the hot seat please 🙏
Wait wait wait. He has a record company and never heard the term A&R?. Artist Relations. 😂😂😂😂😂. He just killed himself on this episode
*Artist & Repertoire
I don't think he understands what a record label actually does...
This is why we have to stop laughing at one another. That’s not what A&R means either.
I’m cut from that cloth …
No you’re not. lol
That was hilarious 😂
I be looking forward to these every Sunday.
Me too!!
Really.. That's great.. Thank you for watching
Called that man a scam to his face and right now, that's what it is. He needs focus and proof of concept.
100. Proof of concept is key.
Him thinking he was going to sign up is crazy . Second hand embarrassment for this hot seat 🤧
Consulting for a month w no action is crazy 😂
Yo, I need a nap after this one lol
😂😂😂😂
Watching this made me want to throw my phone!!! David you have the patience of a saint!!!!!!!!!!!
My head hurts...🤔 😂
“working with Shopify” floored🤣😭
Lol mad respect for anyone getting on the hot seat. This one was too wild 😂
“RENT’EM SPOONS!!!”

I’m glad you holding him accountable for explaining what he’s saying
Listen, this brutha stressing me so bad! Woooh Jesus! It's alot of people need to hear this confusion
The ego is a crazy thing. People really gotta learn how to be coachable.
He's trying to sell someone the Brooklyn bridge. 😂😂
“Selling houses”

Exactly!
Fast Talker in survival mode. Less talking more listening. Dave is the proof and he still put up a fight... God bless tho 🤷🏽♂️
Oh my...he wasn’t sure what an A & R is? For this being his main objective! This is HEART BREAKING 😂
Definitely, definitely want to see this guy back 6 months to a year. I hope when he returns that he has a successful story to tell..
We will see. lol. receipts don't lie
I want people to succeed, but what this man is doing is a scam
I believe If you are sitting in the hot seat your main objective should be to receive constructive criticism from an authentic space, a person who respects business overall. David literally has made millions, gotta respect his wisdom, and take the heat and hopefully pivot after that.
Listen twice. Breathe. Speak once. Receive. Repeat. Thru conversation
They come on here and defend themselves instead of listening. That seat must really be hot!
My head hurt so bad after listening to this I gotta go drink a ginger ale and take a nap to reset. 😫
David I just have to say this is the one for me.. Hear you loud and clear! I needed this⚡️
Awesome
Lawd!!!!😂.... This one was needed. A lot of us have been there, but self-awareness is key! You gotta know when to tone it down, maybe change directions, or quit. Most importantly, learn how to listen to those more experienced/ sucessful than you in certain areas
This got painful to watch towards the end. He was trying desperately to sell his dream as he constantly put his foot in his mouth.
“I might” is the wrong answer when somebody offers help lol 😮

He said he came to learn he didn’t really seem open to learn shout out to you Dave for being calm and in a great spirit throughout and professional
I felt so embarrassed for this young man. He really thinks he knows what he’s talking about.
Clients want to see progress along the way. The marketing 12 month process would have a lot of problems.
The opportunity to come and practice speaking about your business or your brand... The opportunity to come and practice presenting yourself and your story...this is amazing.
He needs to structure his fees. He should do a consultation fee before signing any agreements with potential clients. It sounds like he doesn’t understand scaling because he isn’t charging enough. I know bc I’ve been there.
Poor thing. I hope he figures it out.
18 mins in and I am STRESSED! I’ll come back later 😵💫
David's ability to recall things the person said in the beginning of the conversation....is UNMATCHED!
That last statement was powerful 💯
I’m stealing “bespoke globalwear”
I really want black people, especially black men, to invest in real estate. This is definitely what this guy should do.
went to go checkout the project…neither it or the artist existed on streaming platforms 🤦🏽♂️
Check out the project with the link above 💯✊🏾
@@readytogorecords I was hoping it was a mess up on my part 🔥
I get it!!! I finally understand, Ready To Go Records is always ready to go but never actually does, it just gets ready!!!
43:30 HELPED ME SO MUCH
Whew! I love to watch this to get myself right. David don’t playyyyy
“But you’re tryna convince me”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

David was extremely patient with this man. I think David could have been a little more tough on him because he was not listening. AT ALL.
Talker > Executer
This interview was crazy!
Thanks for making him honest, there was nothing from him that was motivating besides his dreams to be wealthy but how??
This was brutal
He talks entirely too much to be able to effectively listen and take constructive criticism. Some people just aren't coachable or teachable🙄
Am I hired 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
David, take it back he is not going to make it. Uber 🚗 he’s yours.
I have not finished the video, so there are going to be some edits for sure. But if he says “in regards” one more time with his lying a$$.
You’re trying to SCAM people my guy! You don’t know what you’re doing or you would have done it for yourself, at least a little bit 😢.
Ok, I finished the video and I don’t think the kid learned anything at all. Sad to say but he is just a nothing person paying the government to have a business and not the other way around.
