00:00One of the biggest companies in the world, I was having a conversation with them,
00:05and I wanted a certain amount.
00:07To be fair, we'll never know who was wrong and who was right.
00:10I wouldn't say I'm right.
00:12But we'll never know who was wrong, who was right.
00:15But they offered me an amount of money that I thought wasn't fair.
00:18And I said to them, I said,
00:20I can understand that you don't see my value, and I'll have to respectfully decline.
00:25And I kid you not, they were like, ah, we're not saying that.
00:28After I wrote that message, I didn't respond to any of their emails again.
00:31Because I was done with the conversation.
00:33Unless the conversation is now that we're revisiting the amount that you're changing.
00:35For me, and a lot of people will say it's a lie, it's because she comes from privilege.
00:38It's not about that.
00:40Saying no.
00:42And I'm not saying saying no, I'm being a rude person.
00:44This company was legit taking the piss.
00:47They were legit, they were moving funny with the amounts they offered.
00:51You know, a brand has actually called me before for a meeting.
00:53They've shown me my face on projector one year, their endorsement.
00:57But they haven't got to the end of the business.
00:59I saw one million there.
01:01Eh?
01:03Junostan, and this was six years ago.
01:05Do you know what that brand told me?
01:07When I told them, oh, sorry, is it one million pounds?
01:10Like, I don't understand.
01:11Junostan, she was like, oh, no, no, no, no.
01:13We're taking you to South Africa.
01:15And so?
01:17You know, and it was just, and she said to me, she said,
01:20you may never get a drink endorsement if you turn this down.
01:23I swear, I can't say the brand, I don't care.
01:26They are similar to Bailey's.
01:28Okay, I know.
01:29She said, you may never get a drink endorsement again.
01:32Not knowing that now we didn't import a drink.
01:35I live on first.
01:37So she said, you may never get a drink endorsement again.
01:39And I was like, hmm.
01:41And then a year after that, Remy Martin endorsed me
01:43and put me on their global website.
01:46So when you, you can't be afraid to say no.
