Mel Brooks’ Son, Max, Explains Why You Must Stay Home During This Coronavirus Crisis (Video)
March 17, 2020
A win for ‘Entertainment That Informs’… I really like this. The messaging has been clear to date, on what we should be doing as individuals to minimize the spread of the Coronavirus. But I feel like this vid brings it home to a few different audiences: folks who love Mel Brooks, enough to care about his family, friends, impact on comedy, maybe even his son Max.

Of course, Sway is gonna have the go-to smart Brother speak on the Coronavirus when he comes through. How could he not? Shout to Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson for always bringing light, logic and a bit of levity to even the most touchy matters #ButNoTouchingNowadays #SocialDistancing
In our recent interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson, he talked about the new season of The Cosmos, breaks down the falsehood of the theories that humans use only 10% of their brains, and how genetics can pass down intellectual and physical attributes.

Y’all know the song. Sing along: If you’re sexy and you know it, your name must be Kali Scott… Ha! This is the remix! Plus, FACTS! Because Kali is the definition of SEXY AF (ALL CAPS, no cap, RESPECT!)… She has got my number (but I really want HERS). What number though? 12 (o’clock)! We’re doing something different for today’s Nooner, folks. The sexy ain’t always about thick-a-licious, azz-tastic, bodacious bods and faces in places; though Kali’s got all that. Sometimes it’s as simple as boosting your confidence; no bustier required. Yeah, Kali’s got all that and is ALL THAT. And most important, she knows it!

Wait… GaryVee’s Is Calling It Quits For “DailyVee”… For Real? (Video)
January 16, 2020
Okay, so not necessarily the ‘end’… just the end of promising a ‘Daily’ vlog… It’s gonna be #WeeklyVee for 2020. But before that, Gary wrapped the daily series with an epic four-hour episode!
For the final episode of DailyVee, Gary goes back to his roots at Wine Library for a meet and greet and answers an insane amount of questions… 105 to be exact! Gary felt that going back to the stomping grounds where his career as a professional entrepreneur began is a poetic and perfect way to close this incredible chapter of his journey. We couldn’t fit all 105 questions here so we made a separate blog post where you can see the full list of the timestamped questions. Be sure to check it out the link and find the questions that interest you most! Thank you all for the amazing support with the DailyVee and can’t wait to continue on to the next chapter with all everyone ❤️… Enjoy!

Gary Vaynerchuk Speaks On Living Your Best Life… With No Regrets (Video)
December 20, 2019
How you make your money is more important than how much you make.
The biggest poison… REGRET! You don’t want it in your life… AT ALL! Stop making excuses and start making moves to make yourself HAPPY! That’s what GrayVee wants for you. Don’t you want it for yourself?
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN WISHING YOU COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE SOMETHING, BUT IT’S TOO LATE. MAKE SURE TO ACT ON YOUR INTUITION NOW AND NEVER THINK TWICE ABOUT IT.

Gary Vaynerchuk Speaks On What You Really Fear (Video)
December 19, 2019
What You Really Fear Is Not Failure.
The DailyVee is giving us more of the realest talk from GaryVee. Talk about getting it from the dirt, about misery loving company, about getting away from that type of company and getting your sh!t life together and so much more!
So many people ask Gary how he isn’t afraid of failure and how they can get past their own fear of it. The reality is that you aren’t actually afraid of failure. You are afraid of the potential judgment you will get from your friends and family and possibly even random strangers on the internet who see your content. This is why Gary is so adamant about ignoring outside voices. Once you are able to stop hearing the cheering and booing and focus on what you feel is right, you will be able to move much faster, fail quickly and get on the right path in less time than if you are constantly worried about judgment.

Gary Vaynerchuk Speaks On What Is Really Important: Happiness (Video)
December 3, 2019
Just in case you need a bit more help in the “What Do I Have To Be Grateful For?” department, listen to what the GaryVee has to say. The real game is HAPPINESS, people. Reset your sights and go for that. That money and bling-and-thing game… your ‘score’ will NEVER be high enough when you hear that final buzzer (playing a no-win game sets you up to lose). Go for happiness.
Gary says it better. Check him out above.
We put money and financial success on a pedestal at the expense of our own happiness. So many of you would be much happier if you quit your current job that you hate and made 20% less doing something you actually love every day of your life. Of course, we all need money to survive but once you are living reasonably, the money will not make you significantly happier.

Man! I am so glad he finally addressed the whole Tariq vs. Tarik spelling of his name. Had me messed up trying to get his name right in these write-ups. Okay, there’s WAY more to his speech than that. Good wisdom. I’m just saying that part stuck out right at the start.

Professional Speak On Athletes Coming Into Money & How Much (Or Little) Their Leagues Look Out For Them [Video]
November 20, 2019
I went from a dorm room… a dorm room… to a million-dollar house, and did not understand it, but had to act like I knew what I was doing every day…
Real, REAL talk about money & wealth here; the comings and [unfortunately] goings of it. The NFL’s responsibility to make sure retirees aren’t broke? Interesting. Who wouldn’t be in favor of, at least, the idea of the athletes not being broke after years of playing a game that leaves their bodies broken.
Tommie Harris, Clinton Portis and Jack Brewer discuss the money they made in the NFL with financial expert Michael Bapis.
– The Players’ Tribune
And the revelations that come from this discussion… DEEP! Great clip.
Joell Ortiz – “Anxiety” (Prod. By Nottz) [Video]
November 4, 2019
So necessary! My brother BoneBreaker Jones and I used to have constant conversations about this. Get help if you need it. That’s just good sense, but historically we have been on some nonsense in our community when it comes to matters of mental health… dismissive and even destructive at times. That has to stop, and talk like what Joey O puts down on this Nottz-produced track must continue!
Mental Health awareness is more than just a hashtag or a month of the year dedicated to its cause. It’s an everyday issue. Millions of us struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD and many other forms of mental illness. I just want everyone to know that they should never feel ashamed or be afraid to ask for help. You’re not weak or crazy or a failure. You’re human. And humans aren’t perfect. We’re flawed and delicate. Speak to a therapist. Talk to a friend. Exercise. Diet. Meditate. Do whatever it takes. You’re worth it. Who knows… Your story may help someone else. Like me.

Yoooo! Get a snack and a drink. Then click play and watch this in its entirety. Do NOT miss this opportunity to drink from the well of WISDOM we know as Byron Allen. You only think you have been out here grinding and hustling. You only think you have been through hard times and came out shining.

October 29, 2019
Wowwww… T.I. went full ‘Red Table Talk’ on this episode. Brought the spouse (Tiny) on, like Jada did with hubby Will Smith, to sip and spill all kinds of marital/relationship tea. I will admit to being a bit nervous when I hit play.
We all know that marriage and relationships aren’t easy subjects to talk about, but this ain’t the same fairytale unicorn approach you’ve heard before. Tip welcomes his matrimonial life partner, Tameka “Tiny†Harris into the #expediTIously studio for a “private,†refreshingly honest conversation on getting through life as a team.

Advice: Cheryl Avery Speaks On How She Books Acting Work (Video)
October 24, 2019
I saw this in my Facebook feed and felt COMPELLED to re-share it here. Maybe it will help someone.
Full disclosure: I also post this because I am very proud of how my AvJo sis Cheryl ‘Selah’ Avery gets that work out the mud! Even in a desert or a drought, she will bring her own water, make her own mud, and dig!
#FromReelToReal So many people have asked me how do I book work. Well here’s an example. This is my self tape audition for the General Mills Commercial AND the actual commercial. It first aired during this season’s 1st Alabama game and I was told it also aired during an NFL game last week. From audition to booking was about a month or so, and from booking, to shooting, to its air date was also about a month. Self tapes are just what it says, I tape myself doing the audition (I do as many takes as I want and submit the best 2) and submit it to my Agent, who then submits it to the Casting Director. You’ll see Anthony ‘Sam Peezy’ Avery in his acting debut as the adorable greedy hand that’s helping out LOL. He’s also my reader; the person who reads other lines (off camera) when I need help. {Did I mention how great my Husband is 🎈}. Sometimes you’re booked straight from tape and other times, they want to see you again, which is called a Callback; those are good lol. I love acting!
Want to know more about acting, check out this site: https://selahavery.wixsite.com/backgroundetiquette
Keep checking for Cheryl (like on college football Saturdays, for this NATIONAL commercial run). But above, check out the clip of her GIVING YOU GAME… not selling, she is TELLING you how she did it!
Lean in.

Okay, ComplexCon got something here. I mean, that Revolt TV panel event (here) was pretty dope… but this panel event is FIRE!
