"Hi, ya. If you heard Ted Cruz going off on Bud Light, do we have this one real quick? Yes. Yes, on Dylan. No, I haven't heard all of them. Okay, please. Here we go. Dylan Mulvaney, a massive percentage of Dylan Mulvaney's audience, our kids, and Budweiser was trying, I believe, with this ill fated marketing attempt to target teenagers. If you look at things, Dylan Mulvaney has online. It's things like days of girlhood. There's another video where Dylan Mulvaney is singing. My name is eloise and I am 6. There's another one where Dylan Mulvaney is shopping for Barbie dolls. These are clearly things aimed at teenagers and even children younger than teenagers, which violates the rules and so we're calling on the beer institute to investigate. The degree to which Anheuser Busch knowingly was marketing to children and going down. Right, that's what I first of all want to discuss. There is apparently a beer institute to which hello beer institute. Thank you for calling. I mean, what? Everyone please call the beer institute. Yes. And hello beer. Excuse me, I'm sorry. Hello, can we help you? Yes. Isn't he also doing something in the Senate with trying to? Do they are these issues that any normal human cares about? What light is something? Oh, by the way. You can't buy beer until you're 21, so. They're not trying to target kids. And B, C, and D, the tobacco company has been targeting kids. Thank you. The whole time, and he never say anything about that. Yeah. And the guy. The guns. They sell cricket guns to kids. They're okay. No, but that's good. Do we disagree on that? I think that's good.

"Was so white boy started fight with me. Here. I am thinking of white people are cool in Canada get this fight and some guys came to my defense and beat these guys up because I was a little guy, little scared, kid, but the guys who beat these guys up We're in a band called the Hawks. Later, it turned out. They call themselves the band's Robby Robinson leave on helm, and they played behind Bob Dylan and they kind of rescued me. Well said this bar fight starts a friendship with the band, which takes, um takes him into this world of Canada's folk rock musicians. Uh, Johnny Mitchell. Neil Young, huge names. What did they make of Rick James? At that time? Who? By the way, that wasn't his real name, right? No, but he had to have an alias because he was AWOL from the U. S military, But I think that they found him to be an authentic African American with talent and all of them as musicians were fans of African American music and so to be in Canada have access to an actual African American. Who was equally as interested in them as they were him. It must have been a really interesting synergy between you know those folks, so he's playing this kind of folk rock music at the time. How did he then? Transform into the Rick James that we all know who has this kind of funky rock style. Well, he was in multiple bands over the years. And the interesting thing about the film is you see his musical progression in his previous bands, Everything that led up to the song you and I Which was Rick James, first Real hit. If you get familiar with the music that no one really knows, But we expose in the film. You can kind of see his evolution. You know, he she was interested in rock music, so he made rock music who's interested in jazz? He was in a band called White Cane That could have easily been Chicago or something you know, had big horns and orchestration. And, you know, it sounds really advanced. And I was like, Wow, when I first heard it, I said, Wow, This music is really good, but no one knew it. There's so many artists who wind up in bargained ins all over the world. And if Rick James refused to be left in the bargain bin, But when you hear the music that would wind up becoming the Rick James that we know When you get familiar with the music that came before you can kind of see how he eventually landed on an amalgamation of all these styles. Yeah. So, as you said his breakthrough hit was you and I After that, Of course, there was super freak which, um, was a smash hit and really crossed over. But some people really hated this song. Why Rick James wasn't a huge fan. He was a fan in that. He was blown away by the success of it, because, ultimately to him. It was a joke, and it was the last song on an album where he felt like he needed a pop song. And so you know, he didn't fancy himself a pop musician. He fancied himself an artist. So When this song cross that was a joke in an afterthought, blows up with lyrics that to him or a complete joke, which she describes in the film. Other people felt the same way about the song and other people felt like Wow, This is the one song That you know, white folks are going to get into And sort of get down and boogie, too. But they're not really digging Who? The real and the complete who? The complete Rick James was. So it's almost like Cliff notes to the artist. Some people felt and felt like You know, this isn't a serious representation of the artist. You know, Rick didn't really love it either. But it wound up making him rich because M C hammer sample that did he make more money off that than his original version. The word is, he allegedly made much more money on the M C hammer version that he did on the original, which was a smash in and of itself. How does that change his life? Well, when you have access to Unlimited cash. It gives you access to a limited cocaine, so It changed his life. In a way, where it was hard for anyone to say no to him, including his hard for him to say no to himself. So obviously he was able to have lots of cars and a beautiful homes and travel the world. But he was, um Struggling With, uh, with addiction and success didn't help that. His daughter is a big part of the movie tie jams. And she says she only met him when she was what 13 years old. She That was the first time she met her dad. Yeah, you know, uh, Rick's son was going to school and California. The family Ricks Children were living in California with their mom. Rick's son goes to school and tell some kid that changes his father Turns out. The kid's father was one of the changes bodyguards kid tells his dad, the dad tells with James Rick James Gets a private investigator, and that's how he reconnects with his two kids. Ricky Jr and tie. Um And the first time they met him was to you sent for them to come to Buffalo, and the story goes. There are two other little black kids who got off the plane. One girl and one boy, Rick James, runs up to them and hug them. But Those weren't his kids. He had been away for so long. He didn't know what they looked like. So, um, going from essentially living in poverty, which is, you know, Rick's kids to all of a sudden your dad is rich and famous. That wasn't easy for them, either. I can imagine. So he didn't know where the mother of his Children was living. He had to hire a private investigator. Yeah, that's what he thought The man had to do. Yes, indeed. Well, and I guess he wasn't supporting them. Not at all, not a penny. So how does she feel now about him like looking back on her childhood and What she saw is she witnessed a lot of this, Um Lavish lifestyle, but she's very she seems very forgiving in the movie. Yeah, because I think she just writes it off. As you know her father. When he was on drugs. He was a different person. That's not who he really was deep down, and I believe that's how she reconciles her feelings. I mean, she was very honest and forthright. And I can't imagine what that must be to sort of. Have to process all that. You know so much scrutiny from the outside world, but I believe she just She knows that Rick James wasn't her father. Another man was her father, Rick James is a character Rick James is sometimes a demon, sometimes a genius. So she holds onto who her father was not necessarily who Rick James was. Right. So at the very depths of the character, he is convicted of assault. Um Assaulting two women, and he And his Wife or girlfriend. Was she wife at the time? I'm not sure you might have been a girlfriend at the time. Yeah, Yeah. Um they both go to prison and He spends a couple of years in prison. And so That part of his life. Um When he came out of prison. Was he a changed man? Or, Um, How did he How did that change him and his his music? According to his wife, because Tanya Hijazi would become his wife. He really know when he came out. He was clean and sober and had a clear mind. And he had written 400 songs, apparently in prison, but again his struggles with drugs, she says that the entire time they've been together maybe the longest. Period he had been cleaned for was three months. And that he.

I love was all knew that, like assimilating for you was like assimilating with another immigrant communities versus like Trying to almost like fit in with, like white people. Yeah, so actually funny. You should say that. I think the assimilation with the white people part came a few months later because one of our neighbors, you know, Michael, At least they were really my first exposure to assimilation with white people.

I do not know what kind of mine it is. I started growing it and 2007. And it is completely taken over the entire front of my house and both sides of the house. I love divine. It's kind of like my baby. After this last freeze, and it's gone through a couple of freezes and everything but it Seems like it's not coming back. It's got a couple of green leaves here in there. I don't know what to do with it. I don't know if I'm somewhere and unfair question me because I'm not there looking at it. I can't really tell you what to do without the benefit of seeing what you're seeing, And it's specific question like this. If my life in divine and there's growth at all at the bottom, then we need to focus on taking away as many dead of the tendrils dead of the attached. Pieces of wood is possible that it sounds like a tedious job. But if you really want to refocus the energy of a vine like this you've got to get is much of the dead out of there in a way so that the energy is not being dispersed needlessly. Does that make sense at all? Why transcended your pick? I couldn't figure out how to send you a picture of it. Yeah, but I did take pictures of my mom. I don't think you focused on my answer at all. Any of what I say makes sense. Yeah. Okay, then I would focus on getting rid of the dead. Then you can feed what's still left behind. You feed a vine like that. Almost anything you left over lawn food is great. Any of the organic foods like for micro Live toe Medina that we talk about trying to refocus this energy on the vine Come back up.

"So today we believe we're building a product that is as immersive as the real world but what using the ban looseness technology so to combine all these elements we use influencers in these communities to bring together like minded interests. You know we did it along the early days of tagging system we fill out your profile. And all these these these fun things that all gather dating do and we ended up bleeding gal. Let's do that but it's not enough. It's not enough the best people for you are the people who belong t the communities that you long to so we thought that was really the first switch You know about half a year ago. That the made us believe okay. Well if that's true we need to get buy in from the leaders of these communities. That's what kind of trigger into building a creator. I approach building a competitive moat around having these communities influences online hosting events on teleport but the underlying reason actually was how can we are trying to solve was how we bring together the right people. How do we make sure that you're meeting the best people for you as so of the links on here are exclusive to that specific network that community. So if you're a if a yoga community on instagram you create you. Create your event on teleport and you host it four specifically for your community and you could decide to opt into using you know allowing this event to exist for all of the user base and leveraging our growth as well But we're seeing a ton of these hosts wanting to also just keep things specific to their niche. We had everything from celebrity matchmaker events all the way over to you know more traditional events on based off religion an interest that are a little bit more broad but we we see a world where they both live in harmony of public event that lives on the telephone marketplace as well as an event that is solely distributed by a influence her so we could have an entrepreneur community doing a dating events where entrepreneurs get together hundred hundred percent. And i if anyone's open to it we could use some in toronto. Maybe meet some people but yeah there's a lot of lot of ways with our technology that We could go There's there's so many different ways dating right now is extremely hard Especially in toronto so toronto specifically as a city that were definitely doing some some big things in.

"And what we realized. It only takes a few minutes for you to to know if you click with someone to know if you genuinely connect with that person on a deeper level You need a few extra minutes to get to that point. So once you've got there it's we. We did three minutes. You know that you like the other person but you would just be ending right the point where you realize you wanna talk to the person and you needed a few minutes to just collect and kind of get to know them on a on a deeper level Besides where do you live Where do you work and very very basic questions like that so we. We advise people to ask deeper questions. And we're baking in a assistant inside the product that that prompts you to discuss these deeper things kind of skip the the early banter That we all know in hate of meeting somebody new. I think with the five minutes as well and people ask what if what if the date is going. Well right and i always come back to. Let's compare it to the real world when date is not going well. It's extremely hard to navigate and to get out and you might be sitting there for an hour With this. I always say as you might know within the minute you might know if in two minutes but continue to have a conversation. Think about more personally what you can gain ask some questions. Maybe they have a very interesting topic that they're in their industry expert or they're a topic expert on learn something new you can have five dates and talk about five completely different things other than what have you done during quarantine or like chad said. What do you do for a living. Ask something else and see how much you can personally benefit from a to and then safety as well in in video chat. If if something's wrong we have a report buttons that you can just easily exit yourself from that date but if you're just having a simple conversation you might think. Hey i might not want to go on a second date with this person. In between the dates you choose whether you like her like or want to kinda match with that person and then you receive your matches immediately after the event so if you don't have a great date it's okay. Finish up the conversation. And then you'll move onto the next. He only got three minutes left. What's the big deal back like you can talk about anything. Three minutes So you mentioned social media earlier and social followings and you know that that crowd living online more do the dating participants get an opportunity to get followers from these events socially on social media and that kind of thing that that's a really interesting question. Tiktok almost made all of their success. Piggy backing off the idea that you can go famous. I think when it comes to something like teleport especially considering. We're a dating product we we don't show your profile until you've matched and i think that's the that's the key that would otherwise allow you to you know leverage your follow and get a larger following. So if you're a dater your your profile information as private as you want it to be if you wanna put your social profiles on. They're gonna link them you can. But they're exclusively seen by the people the decided Other words mutually matched. with as a host we have a small cohort of our first early host.

"Hey what would be some nice features to add on to give you even more value for the dollar that you spend but with a price we've also found creates intimacy and the right level of commitment and maturity around the event. It's not something free where you show up. And everyone's they're they're not ready for it. Its put some put some money and think everyone else who's coming also is committing to this event. It is real put on something. Nice grab a drink if you want and sit down and have a really really good time with other people who are also dedicated to having really really good time so i like to say like i prefer to not go to a pizza store and get one for free because then i kind of attribute the value of the pizza will be zero so with this there is so much value in. What's coming from this event. That just think that the other people are committing to do the same so run events for living. Been doing this for over. Six years ran hundreds and hundreds events. Some of them free but the quality of the conversation completely changes when. It's just a little bit of money so like even started brings event. It was thirty bucks. I'm a lot considering it's all you can drink in free pizza so you know thirty bucks but the it changes the conversation used to have people would come and you know. They're wannabes their thinkers. But if you're putting a little bit of money in that means you're you're committed to getting something out of it. You're committed to the conversation you're committed to giving it a try so that is very interesting. I i'm question a little bit about twenty dollars For five dates price pot Tell me how that works for. A host sir. Yeah i mean we just a back up. Real quick it perfectly lines incentives. So if you know that you're paying twenty dollars and you know that everybody else you're meeting paying is also paying twenty dollars Not always align incentives as. You're there for the right reason. They're all there for the same reason as you but you're also going to be meeting quality people who know what they're looking for now. You don't pay twenty dollars for an event to be clear. I think the price is too low. I apologize if i didn't all.

"Thrown in a room and say talk and we talk. I feel one hundred percent safe. I'm in my own room And you learned something and you realize so quickly how different everybody is and we all grow up in somewhat of a sheltered environment where it's kinda hard to break out and have already had so many conversations with people and continue to chat with them on teleport just about different things that we've connected on and it really has expanded myself personally so it's really cool. You mentioned you'll want to change. Behavior changing behaviors hard This seems like a very crowded market both like in the app store and real life and for mind share you know i can name a bunch of competitors that are top of mind If i was thinking okay. I i i want to find somebody to date a. How are you setting yourself apart to get people to find download us. Tell other people about teleport What are you doing to get that mind space. Yeah it's a great question. I think there's a few things that that come to mind in terms of what we're specifically doing. And i think at the early days of talpur we've always been thinking about. How do we build a competitive moat. Had we build a a company not just a product that as we evolve. We'd come harder and harder to touch from our competitors. The last thing you want to do is build any sort of system that's dependent on somebody else like the app store for example or facebook if you're using any of their api Long stories of of why not for a in that department but for us specifically it clicked to us. That are advantage are big competitive. Advantage will be if we can unlock a tool for the for the craters the world if we can build an environment for the best social experiences in the real world are hosted by people that you trust people social influence in the same for this next evolution of of meeting people online the best events will be hosted by those people and if we can create a tool that gives them everything they need properly engage. They're following grow their following and monetize that will be our competitive advantage. It would be disruptive to the tender model or the facebook model in on and on and on to give a massive cut of their their revenue to somebody else specifically in distribution. Where you're already paying your cost per download his already significantly high if you're doing ads and marketing and so on and so forth so we've baked it right into our our business model where we're fuelling. They are that is our cost of acquisition. Let's talk about the business model. A bit for the end user. Is it a monthly subscription. Is it a pay per use paper date. And then i'm going to ask how does hosting work but we'll talk with that after yes right now. Our business model is a pay per event. So it's very much like a ticket model not too much commitment off the start because we really know that. get you through one experience and you just. It really does shift the way you think. 'cause you're like wow so really getting that first drive. Trial is so important for us and that that ticket model really works with what we're we're doing so we're going with a twenty dollar ticket price kind of standardized across the site but a lot of coupon codes and discounts. We can use to try to get people to to give it that first shot to really see the value in it with a ticket like i said low low barrier to entry. Try it out. If you don't like it you don't have to be hooked but maybe there's some ways with user feedback we could see like..

Built some mvp in got some feedback now with cova did you did your main value prop pivot at all what you were doing. Vivid or did just accelerate the process. Oh totally accelerated athle- acceler really really quickly that's interesting startup Talking at a startup podcast is. How fast did that hit us. Chat like it came out of so quickly in the growth that we've had in a year i honestly think it's it's ten years packed into one in this past year that it just came so fast. I don't know when would virtual events of been as mainstream. How long would it have taken without kovin starting to me. I run live events for a living or this. You know. I had bought a camera and some stuff so we could broadcast somewhere. Stuff live but we did all live workshops and events and stuff so yeah now we're all online so yeah who would have thought tad were saying i mean we. We've been working on this for two years. And i'm sure as you can imagine if you're in the the the online event space before covid hit convincing someone that it was an obvious future Toss who's always obvious convincing somebody else that the first way you're gonna meet someone will the defacto away. We'll be on video in an online experience. That selling that's in convincing. Someone of that future was nearly impossible and the second that we continue building towards that future As i said earlier on this talk lucky to find someone that's as as maniacal as myself to to build a future that doesn't exist right and with kovin hitting its became insanely obvious are pitch to customers investors employees and on and on completely changed. We didn't have to sell video anymore. We have to sell in the moment experiences anymore we excel white teleport white us Which is a very unique shift for a company. And i i definitely recommend when you're building a star avoid trends at all costs and you'll see now that there's a million one clubhouse competitors that exist i if you go back three years ago there were millions and one anonymous social apps that existed and so on and so forth but using your chasing a trend. It's a zero sum game. Only one person's going to win but if you can be years ahead of that trend and he could predict where human behavior is heading then. You're only competing against yourself in your company's ability to execute and bring that future to life in our scenario is a little bit different.

"Our third co founder and we were able to accumulate nearly three thousand dollars on that product with an a two week span and we did twenty five thousand dates across about four hundred paid daters Three thousand actually signed up three hundred who we actually allowed into these dates. It was really clear is clear in an instant that we built something that can change the course of communication and we we launched immediately at the height of the pandemic vote early summer last year and it kind of set us on a direction of okay well if our innovator users per se on on that the customer life cycle are becoming fanatics of the saying. How can we shape a product. A brand experience that can be ubiquitous. That can be mainstream. We started very particularly with people in the dating industry and we realized in an instant that the best events are events. They're bringing together people based off of specific interest passion A belief so whether it's something as simple as people into mindfulness live a mindful life all the way over people who are jewish or buddhist or christian and the first thing that we realize the way that we can bring to market is. What if we built this. As a tool for the creator economy where the best marketers in the world can be fueled with a a link of their own per se or an event of their own and they could bring together their networks to engage their followings and monetize so we built it as a tool. And today we're we're sitting at a product that is not exclusive to the dating industry were And i should be more specific not not specific to matchmakers which is where we really started. We want to make sure that we're solving the right problem. And we've since evolved into a product where any in all communities online who have a deep engaged following can become a dating event host the same way that they would for an event in the real world right so the basis of all social life off line centers around datings at the foundation..

"There were there really no products built and designed to bring you closer to the people that you want to me and we kinda started with the original problem of while. how can we build. How cui make meeting someone online as real meaning fun exciting as the real world and i was really just where we started from there. We played around with a few different ideas and Products in landed where. We are today based off of a lot of user feedback. I'm an older person. So i'm not as young as you gentlemen are and i've tried a lot of apps on but i do find. Yeah that i again most. I understand this is the way it happens now but having said that for me it's much more worth my time to meet someone as quickly as possible because or in o- otherwise you 'cause you're wasting all this time that something that you could Tell in two seconds whether you're interested or not just from everything about you can't tell with all the apps until you spent weeks or however chatting and then you know so Something like this sounds interesting you know. Can you tell me again. How are again. Tell me how it works and how you break that barrier. How is this a real life experience. And how do i get that connection. That i wouldn't get somewhere else in gum. The the word meat is an interesting one and dating app is an interesting one as well. Because i if you've used them and other people have used them. It's does a text conversation mean that you've met in. It's a conversation at a debate. Some people say that yeah we met on we've met and we're we're having a conversation through text back and forth but it's interesting right like if you're having a business meeting generally now it's so easy to hop on zoom right and if it's just their email back and forth you really never actually gain that business connection because you've never actually met the person So even then craig..

"Has been so so great and i can't wait to continue to learn and grow the that's the story i when i'm talking to every every entrepreneur you know the first year to run in the business is so much. There's so much you learn and do that. You never thought you would be doing because you know you grow up or you have a mindset. Got this job. I'm going to work for td. Or whatever i. I can't remember the company. I heard earlier if it was. Cd you know. That's great company. We don't think about. Hey if i run a company you know the mindset becomes over time. if. I don't do it. It doesn't get done it so i'm the marketing guy. I am the it guy. I'm the everything. I'm the person ordering gothi. It's everything so you know it. It's surprising how much stuff you learn. doing it now as it been a struggle working together like you know best friends all the time and now it's a business and its money has that how has it changed your relationship and as been a struggle I'd say in terms of has been a struggle working together. I'd say no. It's the only thing that's been. That's made the struggle bearable or or easier. I'd say starting a business particularly startup. any business is one of the most brutally humbling experience. You'll ever go through and if you don't have not only passion for what you're doing shared very common objective between the team of what you're trying to accomplish and maybe even more importantly in a maniacal frame of delayed gratification. I think that might be one of the biggest ones where specifically you're starting a software company. These take things. Take a lot of time to build to develop and when you're trying to build an organization that's gonna withstand something like ovid or more importantly the next decade in prosper and grow your. You're not just building a little product here in there. You're not building something that's going to get a quick hits out drop shipping..
