00:10people's peoples peoples what's good big said back in the place then it's your co-sign my
00:14friends are better than yours and if you don't think so then you're about to find out one of
00:19them and why he's better than your friend but anyway big set back uh
00:24uh y'all know i'm always horrible with these um intros because it depends on how i feel but i
00:32want to introduce um well everyone calls him tidwell i don't think i've ever called you by
00:39your first name ever since i like really first met you because you said to call you tidwell
00:43you know what most people don't never call me by my first name yeah that's what i said yeah
00:47as i'm thinking i'm like wait a minute i've never yeah you were like well people call me
00:53tidwell or whatever i was like oh okay i guess i'll call you too i don't want to call you
00:57toron terren
01:02for some reason everyone tends to remember my last name easier than my first name so
01:08since i've been a kid you know it's always been hey tidwell you know someone said you know if you've
01:12asked most of my friends and said toron i mean now they know because i'm in a professional
01:16mode but back then it's around who's that so it's all good well let's start by i guess
01:25giving a brief introduction of who you are what you do and then we'll take it from there
01:31yeah definitely definitely so my name is toron tidwell and i am a wealth manager with hudson
01:39pointe capital been doing the wall street three thing for roughly about 17 years came in
01:46uh basically during the the worst time which was the 2008 crash which was actually a great time for
01:54me because it was a great learning experience um at the worst possible time but unfortunately a bad
01:59time for others um and so i work on the wealth management side we do a number of things from
02:06investment banking uh to managing uh clients assets and money and helping them with their lifestyle so
02:15that's in a quick nutshell of what it is that i do well that's good um welcome to my friends
02:22are better
02:22than yours oh i know that we met because you you were stalking me for a while
02:29well it's funny because um as i mean since i've been doing so many different things over the years
02:36whether it's my website whether it's parties whether it's videos whatever the case may be i always meet
02:41people in different forums and different um aspects and i remember you did reach out to me i can't
02:47remember was it linkedin i can't remember but i know whatever it was you you i think you reached
02:53out to me and i'm a born skeptic so i'm like anybody that reaches out to me even though i
02:58know
02:58i'm well versed in what i do things i'm still a skeptic because i'm like you know why why are
03:05you
03:05contacting me but not in that way but you know yeah yeah i just remember that you contacted me
03:10and you're like hey i want to take you to lunch and i'm like okay that's different because i work
03:15in a music industry where everybody's always trying to get something for nothing and they want to get
03:20it for nothing without like i'm just used to that so when somebody's actually there's very few people
03:25that's like you know well let's do this all i'll pay you for your time or this is that and
03:29the other
03:29and then i look at them even funnier because i'm like okay you're different so it's like you know
03:35why why so i forgot how many years ago we we've initially met but i know that we
03:41about 15. yeah i know we we made it a point to at least go once once a year we're
03:47gonna do something
03:48to eat so i'm i'm still hungry this year so we're in here yeah yeah i'm gonna put you on
03:54the calendar
03:54there so so my first question to you before we get into you is why did you feel that you
04:01needed to
04:02meet with me um i guess based on what you know you were doing because especially when you told me
04:07you was involved in finance and i'm like i ain't got no money no
04:15telling people like why like why did you feel the need to i shouldn't say the need but you know
04:20why why you approach me yeah and if that's something that you regularly do you know that's
04:25quite a good thing uh yeah um to a certain degree you know i would definitely reach out to people
04:33if
04:33i find their profile intriguing or some way you know connection wise or something or something that
04:39i'm interested in um about them or their business or if there's a way to align and i don't remember
04:47exactly how i came i think because i used to work in the music industry so i knew your name
04:53and so when i came across your profile i reached out to you and i was like to something to
05:00the degree
05:00of listen i don't want anything from you i would love to pay you for your time i wanted to
05:04have a
05:05conversation because i wanted to ask you about certain avenues on how to maneuver and at first you
05:11was kind of like ah you know what i usually don't do this but because you said you're paying me
05:16for
05:17my time i'm willing to sit down with you yeah and you still haven't paid me but go ahead
05:25i think when you did do that i felt kind of funny and i'm like well
05:30i think that's what either you suggested or i was like well we can go out to lunch or whatever
05:33so that way there can be a comfort level as opposed to just being because like i said i'm a
05:38skeptic
05:39i'm skeptic to this day people will tell you like they've had to like meet me 17 times for you
05:44to be
05:44like okay we can talk so yeah yeah no no well i mean it was cool though because once we
05:50sat down
05:51we bonded real quick we started you know talking about you know from things from back in the day
05:56doing the music business and things of that nature and then we had a great conversation on what it is
06:01that i do and um you know how i could possibly align and just getting introductions and just really just
06:07kind of like finding out you know how to actually move in the entertainment space um just getting
06:13you know some insight on coming from a different avenue and you gave a lot of great you know information
06:19and from there it just bonded to you know basically as you said every year we were just doing you
06:26know
06:26a get together every year you know no matter what i think we just got sidetracked with the covet so
06:31we
06:31couldn't do that you know you know for that moment but um you know yeah we you know it was
06:37a great
06:38conversation that we had and you know after that you was always you know you will always pick up my
06:42call if i called you or something or if i text you or you hit me up you know tell
06:46me come through to a
06:47certain event or come through you know the here or there and so you know we've actually built outside
06:54of just talking about business you know just talking about you think things in general so that's how we
06:58actually came in the past of becoming friends well the good thing that i can appreciate is that um
07:04especially in this in this business that i'm still involved in that people never acknowledge or give
07:12you your props and like immediately like you you from from from what i can remember immediately you were
07:19like letting me know some of like the positive things that you've seen of me because of whatever
07:23interactions that you've seen from a distance and i appreciated that because everyone's always
07:29trying to either send you or make it seem as if you're not as good as you are and i
07:34did i i immediately
07:35i appreciate that because it's one of two things if you're trying to con me or you were just being
07:42honest straightforward honest so i tend to go towards okay he's kind to me but like i said i'm also
07:48good
07:48with figuring people out yeah people are full of shit and i didn't get that vibe from you so like
07:54you said we stayed in touch and i know that initially i know that you wanted to help me in
08:00whatever
08:00i and whatever i chose to do which i always appreciated and i always i always fumble when i do
08:06that because
08:07i've always wanted to do something and just either don't contact people or just don't do it so
08:12you never follow up on things and i i'll be right there pushing like hey did you do this did
08:16you do that did
08:17you reach out to this person yet did you exactly yeah and and sadly you're not the only person and
08:22i do appreciate when people do recognize the things that i'm not going to say that i don't see in
08:28myself but the things that i don't see either right away or i don't see at the moment because
08:33like even with the podcasting thing i did podcasting before people knew what podcasting was like really
08:40like maybe probably around the time we met honestly like when nobody knew what podcasting was because
08:45yeah me and my partner we did that it didn't pick up right away so we stopped and um just
08:51different
08:51things and i've always told people and i know i've told you like whatever i do i've got to want
08:56to do
08:57it in order for it to be successful for me yeah unless of course you're going to pay me a
09:01lot of money
09:02to do it then i will find whatever passion i need at that moment but um like i said i've
09:10always
09:10appreciated from that aspect now i want to bring it to you as far as how did you get into
09:15finance
09:16the financial aspect and the wealth management because i know that there's so many different
09:21avenues but even from our first conversation i'm looking at you like well like like like what do you
09:27do and i can hear somebody tell me what they do and still not know because there's so many different
09:33aspects to what is being done because you can tell me one thing yeah have other things so how did
09:40you
09:40get into the wealth management side of things definitely definitely so at the i would say what
09:48was that i would say probably about 2005 somewhere in that time period or whatever um i was at uh
09:56tvt records
09:58and of course i had just left jive records because we was going through so many different mergers and
10:04acquisitions with you know la face and records and you know all the mergers that were taking place and
10:09you know when mergers happen people are going to get cut and everything of course lime wire was was the
10:15thing that was decimating the industry so you know the right to me the writing was on the wall that
10:21things were changing you know the industry was changing was just really some time it was just
10:26that time to uh look at other ways of uh making a living and just you know somewhere you can
10:33have
10:34passion and still do the things that you want to do and so um i've always been an entrepreneur so
10:40i've
10:40always been a go-getter um and so i i knew some people that were already on wall street uh
10:47you know
10:47dealing with my mom her she had a financial advisor so i knew a little bit about the world
10:53um but not a lot you know besides what you would see on the movies and everything and so
10:58uh i wind up going back to school and at that time i spoke to someone that i knew and
11:05i went into
11:05their training program and from there it was just you know basically what you see on uh trying to
11:13remember the movie that will smith played and when he was the uh stock broker but that was kind of
11:17like
11:18my my path of um of coming in into wall street you know so um i had a passion for
11:26but i was also
11:27looking for okay well where can i go make money as well um that you know not just have a
11:32career but
11:33i want to you know definitely you know be about about the business but also you know how do i
11:39grow
11:39um how do i you know still be an entrepreneur still have that entrepreneurial spirit spirit so
11:45um that's how i guess you could say like my forte into um coming to wall street
11:54that's cool because i know that most people who um tend to go to wall street just like money you
12:00know that's the most people because i have a lot of friends who work in wall street and they're like
12:06like what yo that's where the money is and i'm like okay that makes sense but i also realize that
12:11a
12:11lot of them are either too stressed or don't really enjoy they can make six they can make seven figures
12:17a
12:17year and still feel frustrated because they're not having fun or the pressure having to make more
12:23money yeah especially in a big firm and then i have i had one guy tell me he's like yo
12:29i wish i had
12:29your life i'm like money i make like 20 000 a year and i'm like getting parties free he's like
12:36you don't
12:37understand you get to have fun yeah with celebrities you hang out you're at this point you're at this
12:44like yeah this place and it's like dog i gotta work 10 12 hours a day sometimes six days a
12:50week
12:50and then by the time i get home i'm just resting to get back up for the next day and
12:53it's like
12:54i don't have any fun and it's like i'd rather have no money and fun and i was like yeah
12:58you've got two
12:59houses so i'm like i don't know well you know so i i understood it like i said we're speaking
13:04from
13:04different people what what what keeps you motivated to not get in that type of dojo when it comes to
13:11being in that um world the finance world well you know what say you you said something about
13:18you know having to work 10 12 hours i mean basically that's everyone though i mean to a
13:24to a certain degree if you look at especially the times that we live in right i mean very few
13:32people
13:32are actually working nine to five you know because they're probably doing something else after that so
13:41you know um i apologize phone going off here um either just aliens around me or
13:48uh you know so that that part doesn't really bother me i i've i've always been used to you know
13:59as i
13:59said being an entrepreneur so you're gonna always have to grind you're gonna to always have to work
14:04very hard um yes on in this business in this line of work um the stress can be you know
14:12it will have
14:13the ebbs and flows because for one you're dealing with something that's very sensitive which is
14:19people's life and their money and doing bad times you can see people's whole perspective and image and
14:29everything actually change because you're seeing rough times you know if things are not going very
14:35well or whatever you know you can see that you know to a certain degree that i won't say the
14:41nasty
14:42side but you can see you know what apprehension will do to someone or what stress can do uh to
14:48someone that's under the gun so yeah it can it can be um stressful at times um but i also
14:56enjoy the work
14:57too so some people after a while they no longer enjoy it but i enjoy what you know what i
15:04what it is
15:04that i'm doing especially just a part of actually meeting a lot of people and that's funny for me to
15:10say
15:10because i'm i'm i'm naturally an introvert but i know as part of my business i have to be you
15:17know
15:17outgoing and meeting and i and i definitely enjoy meeting new people and and actually helping them
15:23so you know it's you know yeah some some people are here just strictly for the money but there are
15:29a lot of people here to who are actually into helping others as well especially if i can help more
15:36minorities so i'm definitely into that um into that lane right there now you have i guess an
15:44advantage but also i'm pretty sure a disadvantage is that you you work with athletes um people in
15:51the industry and just like you know people with big egos um i mean like yeah i can use so
16:00many
16:00different adjectives because of course you know i work with some of these people and i don't have to
16:06deal with them or if i deal with them it's only for if i'm doing an interview or if i'm
16:11at a party so i'm
16:12good with that yeah if we need to actually have clients or companies where like you know you have
16:18to deal like how how do you deal with those personalities unrealistic expectations and things
16:24of that nature because i think with any anybody working in money when somebody's giving you their
16:29money or putting their money for you to make them more money there's always gonna be questions as to
16:33why the money hasn't been made as quick or whatever it may be because i'm pretty sure because i know
16:39if
16:39i'm expecting somebody to put money in my pocket i'm probably gonna be on their ass and i'm like
16:44yo i just gave you a hundred a hundred thousand dollars how come i don't how come i only still
16:49have a hundred thousand dollars and it's two o'clock you know how do you deal with dealing with like
16:53the different personalities the expectations and just just dealing with the high level of stress
17:00that comes with it yeah um it it's funny because i tell people all the time and i'm quite sure
17:07even
17:07manager music managers will attest to you know we as far as athletes or artists are concerned it's a
17:14little bit different than dealing with regular executives and everyday person um but on that on
17:20this side of the business you you are more of a professional babysitter to a certain degree depending on
17:27how involved you are in your clients lives right um if it's just if it's just someone who's just dealing
17:34with the financial side of being a their their financial advisor then you know it may just be
17:40that little part of the pie but if you're dealing with a their whole picture to their lifestyles to
17:49you know if you know and not to put no no one on blast or anything but just say if
17:54you know people
17:55have multiple girlfriends or whatever uh you're dealing with you know there's a number of issues that
18:01you can be dealing with and then as you said you know uh personalities that's everyone has a
18:09different personality and the thing is you really try to find out you know what what how do you gel
18:16with them or what you know how you know what what is their view on different things because then you
18:21try to tailor your services to that way because for instance you may have some people that can be very
18:28anal about certain things and for i'll i'll use an engineer right and i'm not knocking engineers
18:37right but engineers they are they can be very very specific down to the the little grain of dirt on
18:46something and the reason being is just because of how their business is because if they're building
18:52a bridge or whatever if they're off a centimeter then down the line is going to be totally off so
18:58their focus is going to be very you know in depth in detail versus some people they just want to
19:05see the big picture they don't want to know all about the nitty-gritty and all of that hey listen
19:10just tell me the big picture what you need to do what i need to do and then let's keep
19:14it moving
19:14so you have to kind of like tailor it to how that client you know is how they you know
19:23perceive things
19:24um and then um you you just try to make sure that for the most part you know you're you're
19:33definitely
19:34on you're definitely going to give them the truth and that's you know can i tell people i'm not going
19:40to be
19:40a yes man or anything of that nature i'm going to tell you exactly what you need to hear if
19:44it's in
19:45your best interest or if it's not in your best interest um so some some people they feel that
19:50they're not going to be like that because they're on the payroll they're being paid or whatever but
19:55um my thing is if you know we're working together you know my thing is i have to have your
20:00best
20:01interest at heart and and that requires telling you something that you may not want to hear so um you
20:08know some guys they may not like that um or family members might not might not like that um but
20:16at the
20:16end of the day i think most guys were appreciated because they look back and say well yeah he was
20:21definitely there you know for my best interest you know so yeah when you're working with clients or a
20:27company is there a specific time frame or an average time frame that you work with people in order to
20:34i guess because i mean i have no clue as far as how how that works because i know there
20:39are people
20:39that may have used the same company or use the same person literally put for their whole lives and i
20:45don't know that some do it during certain cycles and i think i'm thinking specifically with the
20:50entertainment because of my dealings dealing in wealth management but i'm just talking about my
20:56conversation with people because i have conversations with all types of people but i do know when it comes to
21:00finance there are always different like mindsets and things like what is it what is average for you
21:07and when it comes to even people wanting to work with you what is it that you look for outside
21:15of them
21:15having money that you know that it can be a successful relationship yeah um the the first thing is
21:25attitude is big because you don't want to work with a douchebag you know you don't want to work
21:31when someone's going to be a headache like why listen you already have enough stress with the business
21:36so you don't want to bring on board someone that's going to stretch you out even more so
21:41right so that's that's the biggest thing right there um you want to work with people that align with
21:47your vision you can align with their vision and you all can because at the end of the day it's
21:52a
21:52marriage right and you want to make sure that the marriage actually works you know you know you
21:58tell me your point of view i tell you my point of view and we try to find that medium
22:01in between
22:03so you know that's the set i would say the second thing um also though you want to work with
22:10those who
22:11are definitely going to listen to the information you know that's given or that's being proposed because
22:19a lot of times unfortunately you know people always say well what happened to this athlete or what
22:25happened to that person or you know this or that or whatever and a lot of times you know guys
22:31just
22:31don't take the advice that they're giving you know i'm not saying that they they weren't giving bad advice
22:38or anything but a lot of times though you will see that guys you know somewhere down the road they
22:45didn't take the advice or you know um or they was taking advice from someone who wasn't qualified or
22:52wasn't legit and we see a lot of that you know so uh you know unfortunately you know guys that
23:00start
23:00using family members because i mean it's understandable they trust them right no but um at the at the same
23:08time i tell guys a lot of times that family members can be very deadly to your business
23:12um because you know listen if you if you if you you know blow your acl you wouldn't ask your
23:19family
23:19member to try to do surgery on that so then you know why would you think that now you know
23:25they
23:25was making 50 000 then all of a sudden now they know how to manage you know different aspects whatever
23:31within a year's time of you just getting some money or whatever the case may be um so you know
23:37a lot
23:38of times it it has to boil down to a lot of you know guys not taking the proper um
23:44information that's
23:46given to them and following up or following the plan that was laid out for them so i think that's
23:52a big
23:53uh part of it when you when you started let's let's go back let's even go ahead 10 years where
24:01you are
24:01today is that along the lines of where you anticipated being or did you have an idea or do
24:07you have even a bigger goal to achieve like based on how you started where you're at now and what
24:15you
24:15plan on doing yeah yeah so i would say yeah 10 years ago it was more so just being a
24:21stock broker
24:21we you know we would just i came into business i was brought in the business as a stock broker
24:28and then over time it it it trend i've made the transition to becoming uh a financial advisor
24:36wealth manager so i'm dealing i'm dealing more in depth now with that client's whole lifestyle so
24:44i'm not just you know at that time we were just talking about okay well here's the company we're
24:49gonna sell this we're gonna buy that do this do that you know that was great back then coming into
24:54the business but now you know older mature and also now i see the bigger picture that that's great
25:01but people need more than just that because at the end of the day you know i'm not just dealing
25:08with
25:09the money aspect of their life you know you can be dealing with the budgeting aspect for them you know
25:16they have kids now or we need to set things up for for their kids and everything you know if
25:21they're
25:22having multiple homes and and different things now you're getting into different estate planning
25:27issues and things of that nature you know if they have you know if if they have people working for
25:33them now you're just talking about payrolls and all of that so insurance and and different needs have to
25:37be uh focused upon as well um if they're throwing parties and everything how do we protect them because
25:43now guys are walking billboards you know everyone's looking to sue them for any little thing
25:48you know so now it went from just talking about you know this little piece over here about money to
25:54now you're looking at you know where you may see actual potholes in their lifestyle and then you want
26:01to point that out to them and say hey listen this is where i see right here this is where
26:05you could be
26:06vulnerable this is what we need to do in order to fix that you know so i've transitioned from where
26:12i was
26:13you know back then to where i am now and then you know going forward you know i will continue
26:20to build
26:20on on where i am um continue to build on expanding more so you know with the sports and entertainment
26:27and then maybe somewhere down the line you know open up a branch up for the firm as well another
26:33branch
26:33for the firm as well so you know some things i'm thinking about doing i definitely know i'm probably
26:39looking at doing a book or something you know to that degree um but yeah you know i would i
26:45would say
26:45that's kind of where i am at this point in time and looking to continue to build and grow
26:50um you know the the sports and entertainment side and still help my my everyday uh
26:57regular folks as well you know but my eye is just kind of really you poor people you you interact
27:04no not not not not at all you know listen there there's a there's a number of great people out
27:11there with businesses and different things i still have regular everyday uh business owners you know as
27:18well um it's just you know i just focus more on on those on the sports and entertainment side but
27:24i still
27:25have those that i talk to you know perfect example the other day of uh someone hit me up a
27:30friend of
27:30mine said me up and they was asking about insurance policy and everything and i set it up for them
27:36right it's not something that i go out and look to do and and you know and go out trying
27:41to you know
27:42push insurance and all that stuff but because that was a a friend of mine and they it was a
27:48well they
27:49needed something for a child as well then it was able that i was able to set that up and
27:53everything for
27:54them so yeah you know when there's a need definitely still try to help you know or if i can't
27:59help i
27:59would point them in the right direction to where there's someone that i can trust that can definitely
28:04get that job done there might be somebody watching right now that's like i want to get into wealth
28:09management what advice would you give them listen right now
28:19only reason why i'm hesitant on it just because things are changing so drastically now with ai
28:25right so we're all you know looking and figuring things out and adjusting to how do we navigate
28:34and enhance ourselves with what's taking place as we speak you know but for someone that still wants
28:43to get into the business if they're in school you know being in business going you know in uh going
28:49school for business accounting you know of uh finance those are all avenues of coming into um wealth
28:58management um also guys who've had extended careers a lot of a lot of individuals typically come from the
29:06the services as well because they've been taught and they have a huge background on
29:12a program right you know they've been programmed to from a military standpoint and that actually helps
29:20them as well you know in this business so you know there's there's no one direct way or set way
29:28um
29:29you know that the college is the overall way um but there are still other avenues that you can still
29:35come
29:35into this business in different lanes and finance is big you know there's so many different avenues of
29:41finance whether it's mergers and acquisitions and you know you want to do investment banking private equity
29:47so there's a number of avenues that people can um take or get involved in i don't have limited time
29:55with you so
29:57how has ai affected or how will i mean because there's so many different aspects and and i know
30:06that more people are trying to rely on using aspects of ai not being intelligent to realize that
30:15sometimes you have to actually love forgive me for saying this you actually have to be smart
30:19sometimes to know what can you benefit you yeah how has it affected you in a way where um whether
30:26they're detrimental helpful or you're still gonna get your shit off regardless yeah no i mean listen
30:33i'm i'm still learning you know right now as everyone else should be doing you know i'm still taking
30:40classes um i spent matter of fact last saturday i spent roughly probably six hours just going much more
30:47in in depth and learning some of the process and setting up some of my agents and things of that
30:53nature
30:53you know because most people are just playing around with things but i mean from what we're
30:59seeing i mean it's mind-blowing and it's moving so fast uh i mean listen if you just turn on
31:05the business
31:06news every day there's something that's going on just in the last couple of weeks you're seeing you know
31:12companies stock prices falling because of you know software changes and things that are that are coming to the
31:18market so you know right now we're utilizing it to actually enhance what it is that we're doing
31:24to maybe cutting down on some of the the back office stuff or things that we can get away from
31:30doing
31:30and just really focus much more on the client instead of so much on the the uh the paperwork and
31:38all
31:38that stuff is actually helping us also in analyzing data uh to be much more efficient so right now it's
31:46you
31:47know it has its pros and cons but the thing is you know if you ignore it then you're going
31:52to be left
31:53behind and i'm choosing to to basically learn what you know what's going on with it and how do i
31:58implement
31:58it so this way i can always continue to be in front you know or at least riding that wave
32:04of what's taking
32:05place with ai and how you know the uh the world is changing with it one last question more so
32:13if you
32:14do anything over again what would it be and why that's a great question
32:26you know what um there's not many things that i i would do over just because i think you know
32:35if i did
32:36it over then i wouldn't be who i am right now right so you know that's like me saying that's
32:43like me going
32:43back because i have i have seven seven siblings so if i went back and and redid and wasn't that
32:52then i might not even have those siblings you know i mean because one one little one little
32:59little piece out of that puzzle we can just change the rest of your your life so
33:07you can't really have too much of a look back of man i would change this or change that because
33:12that
33:13actually helped propel me to where i am right now all the bad all the good you know that has
33:20actually
33:21given me the steps to help me get to where i'm currently yeah so i can't really say i would
33:27go back
33:28and change anything do i have some regrets of course you know but um but if you was to take
33:34those out
33:35then your whole parameter might just change and shift that we may not even be talking we i may not
33:43even know you said that's true that would be devastating um so for anybody who wants to um
33:51talk to reach out to you or just um say hi on social media and i meant to put that
33:57information
33:57i know i forgot something my bad oh it's all good information did not even use it so let the
34:02people

36:08some
36:08type of type of inertia to get things going and so whether it's you know on the health side the
