00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:06.379

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:16.199

also i hope everybody is prospering at their

00:00:28.179 --> 00:00:31.239
business, whatever you're doing. I'm saying whatever

00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.000
your goals are, I hope you're prospering. Since

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.619
we're speaking about that, I wanted to bring

00:00:38.619 --> 00:00:44.399
up team. And this could go for just business

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.340
in general. And it can go for personal relationships,

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:54.539
whether friendships or business ships or relationships.

00:00:57.130 --> 00:01:01.710
From personal experiences, having a team has

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:06.489
helped me a lot in life. As far as the business

00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:11.489
side, when I met my bro, DeJuan Marino, it was

00:01:11.489 --> 00:01:14.650
a lot of stuff business -wise that I did not

00:01:14.650 --> 00:01:18.909
know. A lot of stuff musically that I did not

00:01:18.909 --> 00:01:24.269
know. Visuals, I did not know. Branding, I did

00:01:24.269 --> 00:01:28.040
not know. main thing that he always taught me

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.140
was website get your website you get your website

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.879
get your website i didn't even know the relevance

00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.280
of a website back then but i'm gonna i'm gonna

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.859
rewind because i'm kind of skipping from the

00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:43.140
opener what i'm talking about so today we're

00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:47.500
talking about um having a team having a team

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:53.700
is a guarantee that for one it's a stress reliever

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:57.159
like It's always good knowing that it's another

00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.200
person involved that's there to help. If you

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.099
have that right teammate, that right team player,

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.079
it takes a lot of pressure just off you because

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.360
when you're doing it by yourself, you know, you

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.360
tend to get overwhelmed. And I think as people

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.360
nowadays, we want to be macho man or macho woman.

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.900
Like, I don't need no help, this and that. But

00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:25.460
when you look at it, In reality, you do need

00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:28.539
help because the results don't lie. You know,

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.240
we see the results and we're like, you know,

00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.680
they're not really up to par or up to standard

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.020
to what you would think. So that could play a

00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:39.740
key role in your quality too. You know what I'm

00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:44.699
saying? Because you always want a second ear,

00:02:44.780 --> 00:02:48.319
second eye, second opinion. At least, you know

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.020
what I'm saying? One more opinion than just yours.

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:54.960
It's always good to have somebody. opinion about

00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.960
the product that's coming out or what's being

00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.979
released or what's being created. So that's one

00:03:00.979 --> 00:03:04.620
way a team can benefit you. Two, it can help

00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:07.379
you with your personal life. If you really have

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:11.099
a partner, a teammate that really cares about

00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:14.219
you winning, they're not only going to care about

00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:17.379
you winning in business, they're going to care

00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:20.060
about you winning in life, meaning your personal

00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:22.680
life, your family life. They're going to want

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.319
to see you succeed, be a better man, be a better

00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:31.099
woman. Then you are at that moment or even become

00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:33.699
bigger and better. That's one thing from life

00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:36.699
experience. I can say the Juan Barino, as I was

00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:40.520
speaking on, he's been a brother to me. I'm saying.

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.460
And not just by his action, not just by excuse

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.780
me, not just by his words, but his actions. He's

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:50.900
actually done a lot for me. He's looked out for

00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:54.129
me. He's filmed a whole movie for me, Quincy

00:03:54.129 --> 00:03:58.409
Murdoch, the movie. And he's looked out and did

00:03:58.409 --> 00:04:01.310
a lot behind the scenes, managing my website,

00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:04.750
teaching me how to manage my website, music,

00:04:05.030 --> 00:04:07.830
teaching me how to record myself, what I'm doing

00:04:07.830 --> 00:04:10.509
right now, you know, how to record, use this

00:04:10.509 --> 00:04:13.689
technology that we got, you know, up to the par

00:04:13.689 --> 00:04:18.910
of him or up close to him. You know, he always

00:04:18.910 --> 00:04:22.800
is giving out. a word of wisdom in adulthood

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.740
too in my personal life to be a better father

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:30.079
be a better man and he's also a great example

00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.560
because he's in his daughter's life and i see

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.759
him as a committed man to his wife for over years

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.600
so that stuff can rub off on you it's always

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.560
good to have that presence around you and have

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.100
that that team player that's gonna inspire you

00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:52.029
in a positive way To be greater. And overall.

00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:56.790
I just think team. Just team. Having a team.

00:04:57.569 --> 00:05:04.009
Also. You can get more done. As one person. This

00:05:04.009 --> 00:05:06.870
is one thing I've learned. When you're trying

00:05:06.870 --> 00:05:11.310
to do a lot of things. And it's just you. Something's

00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:13.129
going to get missing. Something's going to get

00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:15.389
looked over. Or something's going to take more

00:05:15.389 --> 00:05:19.019
time than the other. You have two people. For

00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:23.639
example, me and my partner, Not Just Music podcast,

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.120
what you see every week, the videos, right? Sometimes

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.399
it's just me hosting. It's me on camera interviewing

00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.540
interviewers. And I want y 'all to listen to

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:37.000
this because a lot of people would just see the

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.899
product. They don't know the work or they don't

00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:42.279
know who's doing what and this and that. So I

00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.720
want to break it down to you. So you would see

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.180
me on camera, right? And off camera, DeJuan is,

00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:52.420
He's making sure the lighting is right. He's

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:54.480
making sure the audio is right. He's making sure

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.620
everything is right. You know what I'm saying?

00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.079
And not just that. After the recording, he goes

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.420
into the editing process. He's editing. You know

00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:06.079
what I'm saying? I'm more trying to get into

00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.300
that field, too. He's teaching me bit by bit

00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:12.939
every day on the editing tip. I know how to edit

00:06:12.939 --> 00:06:15.300
a little bit. I've edited some small clips myself.

00:06:16.110 --> 00:06:19.250
on some personal things that I've recorded using

00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:21.689
via iMovie. I just want to throw that gem out

00:06:21.689 --> 00:06:25.529
there too. For all my beginner recorders, my

00:06:25.529 --> 00:06:28.970
beginner editors, if you want to use a platform,

00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:31.370
the platform that helps me with editing videos

00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:34.769
is iMovie. It's very simple, very straight to

00:06:34.769 --> 00:06:39.170
the point. You can actually go on YouTube, type

00:06:39.170 --> 00:06:42.089
in how to use iMovie. It's very self -explanatory.

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.000
So, yeah, back to what I was saying, that helps

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.439
a lot. It's a lot of work that goes into it.

00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.980
So that's part of a team. When you have that,

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:56.379
it makes the job more smoother. You can get more

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:59.040
work done and you're not wasting a lot of time

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.980
just on one thing, one project. I'm saying I

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:09.620
should get a lot done. Also. It just feels good

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:14.899
to share. experiences with somebody that really

00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:17.019
cares about you and really wants you to win.

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:20.939
At times we want to celebrate. We want to have

00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:24.139
our celebrations and our victory laps with somebody

00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:26.639
else. Like, you know, we don't want to just go

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.139
through life alone. You know, we wasn't meant

00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:34.699
to be alone, whether business, whether personal

00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:38.040
life, whether, you know, we're not individuals

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.750
that's supposed to be alone and miserable. And

00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:45.149
I think as a black community, we have pushed

00:07:45.149 --> 00:07:49.490
that narrative so bad to where it's like it's

00:07:49.490 --> 00:07:53.930
not true because now you have black males, black

00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:58.050
women feeling like. Oh, I don't need any help.

00:07:58.350 --> 00:08:01.149
Oh, I can do this on my own. The pride and the

00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:05.149
ego overshadows reality and reality. You do need

00:08:05.149 --> 00:08:07.230
help. You do need somebody. You do need that

00:08:07.230 --> 00:08:09.910
other person. Not saying you need them, but.

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.139
it will be helpful to have that other person.

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.139
So that's just like really the moral of everything

00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:19.819
that I'm describing. Like we have to get out

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:23.319
of that mindset of feeling that we can do it

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.040
by ourselves. Especially when you look at the

00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.199
results and you see it's telling you, you can't

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.199
do it by yourself. Maybe you might need to get

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.840
some help. Maybe you might need, when you're

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.730
failing in school, what do they do? They give

00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:39.870
you a tutor, right? They give you somebody that

00:08:39.870 --> 00:08:44.629
can help you. You know what I'm saying? And the

00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:48.309
point is you don't want it to get to that point

00:08:48.309 --> 00:08:52.929
in life to where it gets too bad before you start

00:08:52.929 --> 00:08:57.470
looking for help or a team or that person. You

00:08:57.470 --> 00:08:59.429
know what I'm saying? You never want it to fall

00:08:59.429 --> 00:09:02.049
off the cliff. So before it falls off the cliff,

00:09:02.149 --> 00:09:06.139
reevaluate yourself. Find you a team. And when

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:09.639
I say team, a team could be one or two people.

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:13.539
One of them. I have one person, DeJuan Marino.

00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.799
That's Quincy Murdoch's team. Me and DeJuan Marino

00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.919
has been doing my thing since 2016, 17 with this

00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.639
man. And everything you've seen from Quincy Murdoch

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.080
has been from me and him. So a team doesn't even

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.539
necessarily have to be a big team. It could just

00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:36.870
be one or two. few that that has that vision

00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:40.549
that has that work ethic that has that love for

00:09:40.549 --> 00:09:45.990
it and just as much as important have that love

00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:50.870
for you and want to see you win badly more than

00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:53.789
you want to see yourself win at times some of

00:09:53.789 --> 00:09:55.889
them want you what some of them wanted more than

00:09:55.889 --> 00:09:59.529
you wanted for yourself for you to be successful

00:09:59.529 --> 00:10:04.429
so I'll end it with this. When you do find that

00:10:04.429 --> 00:10:07.929
person, because in the society that we live in

00:10:07.929 --> 00:10:11.570
today, when you do find that one person or however

00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:15.090
many people that truly wants to see the best

00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:19.029
in you and pulls the best out of you, always

00:10:19.029 --> 00:10:24.970
remember to keep them tight. Never fall out with

00:10:24.970 --> 00:10:28.370
these people. Always love these people because

00:10:28.370 --> 00:10:33.320
good, genuine people. And when you slip up, apologize.

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:35.980
We're not perfect. We're human. The point of

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:39.440
it is never let these people go out of your life

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.980
or out of your corner that really care about

00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:45.360
you as an individual and also on the business

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:51.240
tip because they are very rare to find in this

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.399
world. Thank y 'all so much for tuning in to

00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.639
another episode of Not Just Music Podcast. It's

00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.200
your boy, Quincy Murdoch. It's been a pleasure

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.320
as always. Peace.
