Betrayed...But Be Fearless. The Ultimate Entrepreneur

Juming Delmas saw the betrayal coming in November. He told one person. It happened in February — not from one person, but multiple, all at once.

In this solo episode of the Un-Traditional Entrepreneur Podcast, Juming gets more personal than he's ever been — talking about betrayal in both his personal and professional life, why fearlessness isn't about reacting, and what Nipsey Hussle, Tyler Perry, and Michael Jackson all have in common with every entrepreneur who has ever been stabbed in the back by someone they trusted.

This episode is about loyalty, discernment, protecting your circle, and staying grounded when everything around you is shaking. It's about the snakes in your garden — and how to let them reveal themselves before they strike.

Topics covered:
- How Juming predicted his own betrayal months before it happened
- Why fearless leadership means responding, not reacting
- How to identify snakes in your personal and professional circle before they reveal themselves
- Nipsey Hussle on fearlessness: lessons for every entrepreneur
- Tyler Perry and the loyalty test every successful person eventually faces
- Why people who move too fast and do too much upfront are often the ones who hurt you
- The difference between a true friend and someone who only shows loyalty when things are good
- Why gossip and nosiness are always early red flags in business relationships
- How to protect your mental, your team, and your business when betrayal happens
- Why betrayal is always the universe clearing your garden

Yo, yo, yo, what's up, everybody? How everybody is doing, it's your boy Jamine Delmet, and welcome to the Untraditional Entrepreneur Podcast. Man, um, today we're talking about how entrepreneurship isn't about just building, but it's about standing when things shake. Uh, so in this episode um of the untraditional entrepreneur, we talk about what it really means to be fearless, right? Not loud, not aggressive, but disciplined when pressure really starts hitting on you professionally and or personally. Because at some point in business, someone will disappoint you in your company or someone that you knew. Someone will misunderstand you, someone may test your boundaries, um, and you have to decide how you respond. Fearless leaders isn't about reacting, they don't react, you know, they respond. Um, it's about structure. We we break this down in this episode why contracts matter, why emotional control matters, why um protecting your reputation is important, why mixing loyalty and business requires clarity. How to stay composed when tension rises, right? And why structure speaks louder than noise. So, you know, for me, it's you know, being fearless doesn't mean fight back all the time. Um, sometimes you ain't gotta fight back and be fearless. Sometimes sometimes the best thing for you to do is sit back and observe and watch what's happening. It means staying aligned with everything around you feels unstable, like staying aligned to the mission, to the goal. Um, if you're building something meaningful, this episode is for you because that's what we're talking about in this episode. Let's dive in. So, listen, man, this episode is one that really gonna hit home for me because um, you know, I got some personal things going on, not only personally, but professionally. And for me, you know, there's a lot of betrayal that occurred. Um, for me, and you know, for me, it's just bringing things to the light. You know, I'm not even too mad at it because there's nothing to be mad at. Like the business has to continue on. I told um I even in the midst of it, we lost more clients. I told my team, we're not adjusting your pay. You guys are gonna still get paid the same amount. Because at the end of the day, that's what it's about. Like, I can't, you know, I've made mistakes along the way in this business. Um, and I'm learning from these mistakes, right? And today we're gonna talk about just that, you know, like um why, you know, identifying certain things that's happening in your surroundings. You know, I'll tell you right now, you know, it's super important to separate your personal and business life. Like, you know, understanding that you gotta have like these boundaries. Like there has to be, you know, it's either this person is my friend or this, or this person is my lover, or whatever the case is, or you know, there has to be a boundary um somewhere where it's very clear that this is all this is, and this don't bleed into the next thing because it can affect everything, right? And when it affects everything, you know, in the world that we live in, people get really nasty and they start doing certain things and accusing you of certain things that may not even be true, but they have to to fit their narrative. And sometimes people get backed into a corner because they just don't know. I'm really big on certain things, like um I'm very particular about the type of friends that I even surround myself, even as a business owner. Like, I don't even have, to be fair, a lot of friends. I don't I wouldn't say I have a lot of friends. Like, like if I could literally count friends, I would say I can count my friends on my hand, on one hand, um, literally one hand, like, and it ain't gonna even be all, all the fingers ain't gonna be taken up. Um, and the reason I say that is because like the type of friends that I look for are, you know, they're very open-minded people. Like, if, for an example, if I do something wrong and I'm coming to my friend, and I'm like, hey man, I did something wrong. Or not I'm not that I did something wrong. I come to my friend, I'm like, hey man, I had to stay with my homie, and he did this and that, did it-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. I don't have friends who's gonna side with me. You know what I mean? They're gonna be unbiased, you know. They're gonna, they're not gonna, they're not gonna sit there and say, hey, um, yo, man, what you like, like, yeah, man, I feel you, man, like be on my side, because like I don't need that as a friend. I know that as a friend, you're gonna always be on my side. I need five, I need friends to tell me, you know what, nah, bro, you was wrong for that. I need friends who're gonna tell me, you know, nah, bro, you shouldn't have did that shit. You know, so for me, like when I have like people in my corner, even as an entrepreneur, because like as entrepreneurs, we we we have so much to juggle with work and business and you know, family and friends and all the other kind of shit that we got going on. And that's why a lot of people are like, I don't want a yes man in my life. Neither the fuck do I. I don't want no more yes man's in my life. I don't want people to feel like they have to take my side. I I love that about my mom too, man. Like me and my mom, you know, we don't have the best relationship. But like what I do love about the relationship that I do have with my mom is that, you know, like my mom will tell me what I'm wrong. Even like when I used to date women and something like that, my bob would be like, you know, no, I mean, you're wrong for that, you're wrong for that. Or she'll tell me, all right, yeah, she's tripping. That ain't cool. That wasn't okay. So I'll always like that. And so for me, that's how like I was raised. So I think naturally when I encompass people in my life, it's like I need people who are honest with me, like on that level. So, um, because oftentimes you meet people in your life who are more like they find friends and surround themselves around friends who see only their point of view. I'm a big person where I mind my motherfucking business. I don't I don't get in people's business. And the thing is, when you got nosy friends, you know you got nosy friends, just be mindful of those people, right? Because nosy people, if they're nosy, they're nosy for a reason. They're snooping around for a reason, right? And sometimes those red flags, we miss those red flags. Um, even in your business, or you have a you don't have a uh uh uh uh um uh employee or a contractor who comes off very nosy. Um, I I watch for that too, because oftentimes when a when a contractor is nosy, that means they're stooping for something around in the business. And you can kind of tell nosy people how you tell nosy people, they start asking you questions about like certain they start asking you certain personal questions, getting kind of deep with certain questions, or they might start to try to start getting closer to people you're related to, um, or in relations to. Anyways, I say all that to say, like, you know, I you know, there's plenty of cases out there in the world where um people fight for all kind of shit. Like people are people are snakes, man. You have more, listen, man, understand that you're a garden, and sometimes you need to be able to identify the snakes in your garden real quick, right? Um, you know, Nipsey Hussle says something. I'm gonna play this video real quick, Nipsey Hustle. You know, he talked about the idea of being fearless. He talked about being grounded with like who you are as a person, even when shit starts really shaking up. Because oftentimes when shit goes wrong in our lives, we want to react. We want to be like, man, damn, like bro, I'm about to go in, about but then like true leadership, you know what I'm saying? True leadership don't react. We just we observe, you know, we you know, like we want to blow up, we want to explode, but like it ain't worth that. Like, like, because there's so much to there's so much shit that's coming behind that. Before I go on, let me let me let me let me let me show you the video real quick.

What advice would you give your younger self now looking back? Be more fearless. I don't be my damn father. My downfall, you know, not going crazy, not not, you know, having a higher expectation. Anytime I need to set my sight on something that's been way outlandish, it always comes back exactly how I feel. So I think I would see myself just put lady bigger goals, you know, on the wall.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

Well, Nipsey talked about being fearless, you know what I'm saying? Like, in situations where you know people are attacking you from all angles, um, you just gotta be fearless. Like, you gotta be ready for whatever they bring to the table. And I think that's what real leadership is about. Like, because even as entrepreneurs, you're you're constantly in battles. And I think it is so important to have the right people in your corner. Like, I was at this event today for a little bit. I didn't, you know, too much listen to these guys. And, you know, they sound very convincing, but some of them did make some good points that I thought was very interesting. And, you know, you know, it's all about understanding that it's all right to be alone. You know what I mean? Like sometimes people have to feel the need to have people around them. I was always alone. I used to call myself a loner. Like, you know, when I'm in a relationship, right? I'm in a relationship. Like, I'm in that shit. I'm focused on that, I'm in that shit. But when I be out of that shit, man, I'd be like, fuck that, man. Fuck that, I'm good. Because like I do like being alone, like when it comes down to it. Is it always good? Not always. I mean, it gets lonely, but at the end of the day, sometimes most people who be alone, it's just safer. People who be alone, it just feels safer. You don't have to worry about your partner betraying you or somebody with getting in your partner's ear or their head, or people, you know, just all this other crazy shit. Because like, don't nothing bother me more than having people around me who are easily influenced by others. Like, um, like I'm big with loyalty, and because I came from the streets, and like street mentality is like all I know, like the streets teaches you so much fucking loyalty is insane. Like the street teaches you that shit, and so it becomes ingrained in you. So, what I appreciate from my upbringing from the hood life is that I I was taught loyalty at an early age. Like, I so I'm able to identify when people being loyal to me when they not, and so what that created for me is I'm able to see certain shit before it happens. Let me tell you something. I I kid you not. I got I got I got some producers on the line right now. I I swear to God, I kid you not. I told a producer back in November, December, ish, somewhere around there. I said, I woke up one morning, made phone calls, so you know what? I said, I just had to cry, I just woke up with the craziest, craziest thing. And um, they go, What is it? I'm like, I I like something just told me that I'm gonna be betrayed, and I'm not sure who it's gonna be by, but it's gonna be somebody close. And I'm not gonna even lie to you. I thought it was this person that I was talking to. For the longest time, I'm like, hey, look, this is gonna be this person, it's gonna be this person that betrayed me. And I'm and I'm looking for those little keys. And lo and behold, it wasn't even. It was I wasn't betrayed by even one person, I was betrayed by multiple people at one time. It all happened in one sitting, and it hit so hard. I don't even want to go over the story in the details because it's so sensitive and so fucked up. Like, it's just a fucked up situation. But at the end of the day, I have to remind myself that you know, we're in business, like I'm here to be grounded, I'm not here off of emotions, you know what I mean? And only thing it taught me was, you know, don't be mad that people expose who they are. Only thing that they, if anything, they did you a favor, right? They did you the favor, right? Because now you're able to clear those snakes out of your garden. Because you you don't want to get to a place in life, right? And you start growing and you're in places and people and these people that are behind you who are growing with you, not knowing these are people that are not really having your best interests. Nah, for me, being fearless means people are gonna come after you with everything they got because they want to show how bad of a person you are or how terrible of a person you are. That the imagine the type of energy that takes, right? To do that. Like, for somebody to come out and be like, I want to use this energy to try to bring harm or justice to somebody. You know, that's why I say for me, I'm very cognizant of like of the people I surround myself around. Even now today, as I'm learning through this journey of entrepreneurship and personal life, the work life balance, I'm learning that being fearless, you know, don't be scared of nothing that nobody does. Bring it on, like let them bring whatever they have to bring on. You just be stand, you stand firm in what you believe in and what's gonna happen. Because the I'm uh like here's the deal, man. Like, I'm the fucking chosen one. I tell people all the time, like, what the fuck am I afraid of? Like, I know for a fact that like there are people in the universe that are just chosen. Like, there are people who are just absolutely chosen, and that's why when I was like, I saw this in November, and then it happens in February, I was like, oh shit, wow, wow, and it and it literally happened, and it was like the universe was literally preparing me to say, hey, listen, I don't want you to be mad. This happened in November. I this this this this this feeling came upon me in November. It came upon me in November, and I ain't shared with nobody but one person, and it happens, and it happens because the universe was prepping me. So before and I think that had I not been prepped, I probably would have reacted to whatever all the shit that's going on, right? But there are certain people out there that are chosen. Stop fucking with the chosen people because chosen people are chosen for a reason, even if you don't feel like hey, this person is chosen, that's your business. I know I'm the chosen one. You and people know that they're the chosen ones, they see certain things happen before they happen, right? Anyways, I was telling you guys that you know I'm very, very particular about certain people that I bring into my corner, like understanding that there's always two sides to a coin, right? There's always two sides to a coin. And and when you find people in your corner who is only one-sided on a coin, like I think it's important to identify that up front. Like, I think it's super important to identify that up front. Like, even if it's a relationship with a girl or a man, whatever the case is, whatever you prefer to date, or you know, or business partner, if you got a business partner or even a contractor. I'm really big when I'm talking to my contractors on like seeing who can hold themselves accountable. Like, you know, I terminate people when I feel like they don't hold themselves accountable. I do. Like, hey, I know this situation is wrong, but what did you do wrong? Like, like this sounds like you are not, you are not the victim here fully in this situation. Like, what's going on? And sometimes people are the victim. But if you're constantly, if you're always the victim in all situations, nah man, you can't hold yourself accountable for your own actions. I mean, I think that's at some point you start really identifying that. Because I think that as entrepreneurs, especially starting out, I think it's really important to identify that early. Don't gatekeep that shit. Because I think all these successful entrepreneurs, all these successful billionaires, they're very private. They're they don't keep all they're they are so aware that millions of people want to be their friend. And if they were just like, if they were like, hey man, like it's lonely and don't know how to be alone, they probably would friend over a hundred million people who want to be their friend. Because these 100 million people sh pretend like or show that they like them. Hey, Elon, like like Elon Musk or Denzel Washington, like just like these people are like people are very particular about certain people that they bring in their circle because they know that people are frauds, people are fake, people will be that in front of your face to get what they want typically. And then when they don't get what they want or they get upset with you about something or they don't agree with something, they turn against you. But that's why when I used when I used to meet celebrities in the day, and I still meet celebrities today, I completely understand why they don't be friends with everyone. They just don't be, they keep certain people around. They don't like I understand that when I come around, I'm a new person to them. They look at me like, oh shit, I don't know how far this nigga willing to go. I don't know what this nigga willing to do. I don't know what this nigga about to do. I don't know. I understand. Like, I can't even help but understand when I'm sitting next to somebody with a name that I I I completely feel them. Like, you know, Rollin Styles was one of my homies. He we got a big, he started getting a big name, but like I genuinely I think that he genuinely saw who I was, and I genuinely knew it. And what I uh what I appreciated the most about our relationship between me and Rollin Styles was that you know we started out not really liking each other, to be fair. Like we didn't like each other, and typically those be the best type of relationships is when you start out not liking somebody because then there's nothing for you to prove. You guys already see what it kind of looks like to not be cool, but you guys somehow find a way to get around your differences and become cool, and now me and this dude became like real close brothers before he passed away. Like, I think that you know, you know, check him out, Rollin Styles, R-A-L-A-N Styles, S-T-Y-L-E-S, one of the greatest rappers of you know our time within Florida man, like really cool guy, you know. Um, but I think that understanding that people will be people, and even him, he was kind of like standoffish to me. But I'm like, I don't give a fuck because I don't like you anyways, nigga. So be standoffish. But I understand, and and and guess what? The same, the same guard that he slightly let down to let people in his circle, the same people he was smoking a blunt with, and hanging and laughing and talking with in the back porch while he was recording in the studio, was the same people who ended up shooting and killing him. You know, and so it makes you think like you know, moving forward, I'm just like, if you ain't already in my circle, unfortunately, I just can't be cool with you. Like, business-wise, I could do business with you, but I can't like be cool with you, you know, unless you already got shit like heavily going on. And oftentimes the people who envy you or who coming at you the hardest are always people who ain't already got shit going on. They already kind of got like their own little thing, their own little shit. They got they don't got shit going on, they don't have nothing to lose. So they so they come after you. Like, even the situation right now with um you guys, even when I thought about like the Michael Jackson situation, you know what I mean, before he died, it's so fucked up, you know. Like, I don't know how true the allegations are that happened or whatever the case is. All I know is people were starting, people were coming out saying certain things about the things that he were doing. And you know, I I'm not the type of person to like believe any and everything, like, but the thing is, everybody started believing that Michael Jackson was like doing things with little children um before he even went to court. People were automatically assuming that the allegations are true about Michael Jackson even before he stood foot in a courtroom. And these same people who who were like uh accusing him of being with little children were the same people who were fans of Michael Jackson. same people who was rooting for Michael Jackson. He was the same people who was in the corner of Michael Jackson. And it's so sad because like now it's like hard to identify what people who who's really in his corner. And now even even during his death even during his death people are still coming after him. There's an article that was uh that's out right now. Um and I'm gonna pull this up for you guys. There's an article that is happening about him now being sued for uh even after his death three years in three years Michael Jackson would be dead for 20 years and people are still coming after him. Look it says Michael Jackson former friend former friends friends sue Singer estate for alleged child sex trafficking and abuse he's almost been dead for 20 years and he has former friends meaning once was friends but no longer friends trying to sue him for his estate for sexual abuse it says Michael Jackson has been accused of child sex trafficking and abuse according to a new lawsuit Frank Dominic Marie Nicole Porter and Aldo Cascasio all of whom are former friends of Jackson filed court documents against the late Singer estate in Los Angeles Friday alleging that King of Pop drugged raped and sexually assaulted each of them according to the legal documents obtained by the page six the siblings claim the abuse dates back as early as when some were as young as seven or eight years old so for me right like I'm not the type of person I'm a Michael Jackson fan still is even after hearing that allegation right I'm not gonna immediately assume that these allegations are true that because I'm just a fan of him like I I'm loyal like that to him I'm just going to I you know as much as this sounds fucked up and you know I'm I'm just hoping this ain't true I'm still just the type of person that he's still you know he he's still Michael Jackson to me. What he did even if it is true what he did in his personal life I don't think that that would affect me personally about how I feel about him because he's he's still a great artist. I don't know Michael Jackson personally right so for me his personal life is his personal life so I don't know anything about him so I the only relationship I got with Michael Jackson is me listening to his music and he don't know me any of my fucking ways but let's just say me and Mike was friends right and then I saw this in an article and Mike come and I go Mike you know hey you know you know I I'm not the type of friend that's about to come up to Michael Jackson and be like bruh what the fuck man what you did bro you sleeping with little kids bro I'm not gonna come in and assume that these allegations are correct and there are people out there who will hear allegations see allegations and believe everything that's being said about this article about Michael Jackson without even going to the court system first without even they'll just believe it right and see that those are the those people are the snakes those people are not the friends because true loyalty don't is not one sided true loyalty is two sided and if you're truly loyal to Michael Jackson as a fan like you just stand by him as a fan and even if the allegations are true it's up to you on whether you want to continue supporting it like even if the allegations were true I still would support him probably by his music i like I don't like what he did is wrong and most people would argue like damn bro I wouldn't even fuck with that man's shit no more like that's crazy like that's his personal life he still makes good music you know I don't have to I don't I I can separate my his personal and and and music life separated only thing that tells me is I probably won't bring my kids around him that's all if the allegations are true. That's the only thing I'll be a little bit more skeptical right that that's about it. But that doesn't I that's not gonna deter me it's deaf is damn sure not going to deter me off of just allegations. Like he's still Michael Jackson to me I'm still a fan of his if he was my friend I'm like bro you know like my job here is to not accuse you or assume anything my job is find out how we're gonna get through this shit because this is part of the ups and downs these are part of the storm and because I'm your homie Mike like we're gonna go through this shit together. Like we're gonna figure this shit out. Because like I like you as a person like I'll be a snake to try to make and people did him like that. People threw the man under the bus and he was fans of his they threw him under the fucking bus without even knowing there are the full facts the full story they just heard the coin and believed that it was right. And that's how you identify real people you identify your true people your true friends your true family your true contractors employees oh nah man like understand that there's people out there who are open minded and they ain't gonna just jump ship even if you wrong because guess what bro like ain't nobody on this world fucking perfect ain't not one person in here perfect. Not none of us we all done shit but like you know true homies true friends true people that's true to you they don't care they're gonna be there my homeboy been to jail multiple times because I heard that he was beating his woman he beat his woman tore ass up beat her tore ass up I ain't never beat my women ever I ain't never beat no woman really you know and so when I found out he did it and I called him because I was in town like hey bro like I'm in town about to come holler at you I'm like where you at he's like bro I'm in jail I'm like you in jail for what he's like man yeah battery charge and blah blah blah blah blah I'm like damn that's crazy bro um you know I made a joke about the shit whatever you know he beat her whatever I and I was just like you know um you know like why did you do it? I'm still his homie I'm like you know you wrong for that I'm gonna tell you when you wrong for that I'm gonna let him know you know you probably need to you know maybe not do shit like that so you don't have to end up in jail because now I'm coming all the way out here to hang with you and you in jail and hang on you you ain't gonna be out till I come here another four more times. And so like I'm like you know you you know I'm your friend so I would tell you if she does something that gets you to a point where you feel like you got to hit her ass probably just leave bro just call me or something nigga you ain't gotta do all that shit. Like that's crazy. Like now you in jail because you doing some stupid shit because you she made you mad about something and you hit her and you react like come on bro like come on bro be better than that and that's the kind of friend I am but I but I'm not gonna throw him under the bus. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna treat him like a bad I I know he's human. He ain't perfect I get he I get why he's sitting in jail you know he he he understands he was wrong. He knows that I you know he was wrong and he uh he even admit you know yeah you're right I was wrong I should you know I should have just been better about that and I'm not the type of person that if she called me up and she started crying blah blah blah blah blah I ain't I ain't doing that shit. I I like you because you did you his girl and this is my homeboy but that's I I'm not getting in that like he's wrong for that I don't know what happened I ain't getting into that because like I respect both of y'all whatever you guys got to do in y'all relationship y'all figure that shit out because that's what a real man does that's what a real leader does real leader ain't gonna involve himself in drama real leaders don't involve themselves in drama leaders want peace and success if we can be peaceful and successful that's what we're going for because that's what real leadership is about and I literally had that happen to my homie two months ago he called me I went I was going to town for my birthday and he was in jail for beating his woman and till this day he got out a day after my birthday when I was gone and um and I said okay look man we we you know we he called me up we talked we still cool he's still my homie that I'm just that's who I am as a friend I'm just a loyal nigga for real I he's just my homie like I I get he did wrong he was he he understand he was wrong I understand he was wrong but he's still my homie that's that's who he is right and that's what people do to Michael Jackson one minute they're a fan of Michael Jackson and the next minute they not here here's another case study they you know who else they did that to Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry was another one check this shit out right Tyler Perry you know had you know a friend a homie and it's always people you closest to who will try to sue you or do you the wrong is look producer Tyler Perry accused of sexual harassment and assault and lawsuit.

Look at this shit that further that upsets me so bad right like Tyler Perry met him at a party and offered him a job he helped him that's his heart he helped him like nope like he helped him they work he put him on a set in 2019 2019 right that's what seven years ago and now the man's got a lawsuit on him seven years later not even a decade got a lawsuit on a man and I'm a Tyler Perry fan so are these accusations true about what's being said I don't know I yeah that that let Tyler Perry and whatever he's got personally going on in the court with that with this Matthew whoever this other guy is let that shit go on that's not gonna deter me from liking Tyler Perry movie I was just watching Family Reunion last night. Call me Carlos but anyhow like I and I'm laughing because like fuck all the bullshit like Medea's still funny to me like I'm still loyal to that degree of that's still Medea to me what Tyler got going on in his personal life ain't got shit to do with me. Now if the accusations are true guess what he was punished 260 million dollars like out the window I'm still fucking with Tyler Perry movies and every movie he brings out I'm gonna still watch it you know like because I'm loyal like that I'm that's who I am you know I mean I'm loyal to my peoples I'm loyal to even celebrities like there's certain people like and that that's why shit like this is exactly why celebrities people when they start rising they start like backing away from people because when you start letting so many people in your circle it all seems cool at first everybody's nice everybody's laughing everybody's playing everybody's getting along but then the moment things go awry things don't go their way thing they don't like certain things they don't like seeing certain things or um they want to now you're the criminal now you're this harasser now you're now he's now he's sexually harassing people now he's playing with little kids like it's just in entrepreneurship like even though when you really got to think about all these people who've gone through so many allegations they've gone through so much shit Tyler Perry is still gonna stay humble he's gonna stay fearless he's gonna be like hey look this is part of the journey you know and he's probably sitting here thinking like man look this is what happens when I when I open up and let people in and give them opportunities people are always gonna find a way to fuck it up for their own benefit you know I mean so listen I hope this episode talked to some of you guys I hope this episode you know really hit and resonated you know give me your thoughts like do you feel this was you know do you do you does this episode feel like it talks to you as entrepreneurs as leaders man we got to be ready for the world we got to be ready for the business war and we got to be ready for the personal war and oftentimes people attack your personal war because they know the success of your business war but the best part about this entire thing with Tyler Perry is while he's while he's got to go through this through the courts and everything that he's going through and when it's all said and done um and if these allegations are not true for example the courts dismissed the case guess what he just did he got rid of a snake out of his garden and sometimes in business that's what you got to do you got to find the snakes in the garden and sometimes the snakes in the garden will not reveal themselves they will not reveal themselves until they don't get the things that they want or things don't go the way that they want them to go. Let the snakes reveal themselves. You know what I mean I feel like every person at some point will show you who they are just believe them some at some point they will show themselves and only thing I could say is start paying attention to the signs now start paying attention to the signs now people are like what what are the signs like listen if you guys are hitting it off too hard and everything's just great and everything's moving so fast you're probably dealing with somebody who's probably emotionally um driven right because everything moves so fast everything happens so fast everything just started moving and like they're doing everything anything for you like hey I'm gonna do this for you I'm gonna go this I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna get you hooked up here like they're doing all these things for you right and it's because the same people who do these things for you will be the same people that try to take it away to try to hurt you right and so I think that another thing to look for is when you talk to them right are they always do did does the conversation get juicy oftentimes when you guys are talking about some messy shit or when there's some some some gossip happening you guys are you guys always gossiping about something you always feel like you're gossiping with somebody about something or there's scoop something going on in the back like yeah nah nah I start identifying that shit because like oftentimes it'll show itself and and another thing is you know just identif another good way to identify it is just be still people will show you who they are if you really pay attention and everything that's happening to me that's happened to me I can never say I ain't see that coming one person I did I was like yeah this will never happen for this purpose I did have my guard down on one but other people no there were certain signs that were shown rather they stopped listening to my advice rather they start being more combative with our conversations rather it felt like they were trying to nitpick certain things or find some like things will start revealing themselves and then that's when you know I have friends that I've been friends with for 20 years. I have friends that I've been friends with for almost 30 years and never the guy who was in jail I told you guys about in December we we fell out we fought like brothers but we ain't never fell out we ain't never not been cool we got through our troubles and so when he go to jail for hitting this woman I think it's fucked up he's wrong but he's my friend my job as a friend is to find out how we can make him better so he don't keep doing this shit so he don't go to jail no more you know what I'm saying because that's my homie that's my boy and I think that that's who I will always be until the day I die people will say a lot of things about me when I'm alive people will dog my name dog who I am dog a lot of shit about me but when I die one thing people will not say about this entrepreneur about this leader is he was disloyal I am a very loyal person and that's why I'm the chosen one because loyalty loyalty isn't isn't created it can't be loyalty is given it's just who you are you cannot help but be loyal to the people pick and choose your battles understand that there's two sides to a coin find people who see all points of view but when you start finding people who only see one point of view or only one way of seeing things or a person who does not know how to hold themselves accountable for their own actions those are your signs. Start paying attention I'm your host Jameen Delman's thank you guys for tuning in and until then we'll see you guys on the next episode we'll talk soon
