00:00It's also the way that I think that I still work in this industry is I'm always trying to work
00:05from a point of being an entrepreneur and a creator and, you know, collaborating with the brand or collaborating with
00:11the company or collaborating with the studio.
00:13Because it allows me to it's not just just I don't want to make it sound like it's just about
00:18I'm free, but it's it's also about like, how do I put it into words?
00:23It's kind of one of these things where it's like, I just believe in this world where we are not
00:29constantly putting an employee mindset, but we're able to actually work side by side and make sure that the things
00:36that we are working with are also going along with the goals that we have set for ourselves.
00:40And I think for a young at a young age, my mom made me look at it that way.
00:44Even if I was looking at a big brand like a Disney or Nickelodeon, she said, this is is this
00:48company serving you, too.
00:50And if they can only service you in this one category, then work with them in this category and then
00:54work with them in this other category.
00:56And that's still how I believe in how I work. I think it's fair because it's like, yeah, I want
01:01to work and collaborate with anybody.
01:02But it's a give and a take. And I think a lot of times we're put in a position, especially
01:05as talent or especially if we're working with a major company or something that we don't have a voice in
01:10that regard.
01:10And I think you've got to be clear about what you have leverage on and how you can do things.
01:14But you should always be able to say, well, this isn't I don't know if it's all the way this,
01:18but I can get down with this.
01:20And that's what my relationship was with Nickelodeon and Disney Channel for years.
01:24You know, I never was with a TV show with any of them.
01:26You know, it can be different when you start getting into a TV show.
01:28Right. Once I did my TV show, True Jackson, VP, it was like I was with Nickelodeon.
01:32I kind of made my choice of who I was getting married to.
01:35But before then, it's like if you want to do a movie, then we just doing a movie.
01:38If you want to do a soundtrack, we just doing a soundtrack.
01:41You know what I mean? Until something steps up to what I feel is is comparable.
