I like to be involved in more entrepreneurship, manage musicians.”

“I think that's what I had to deal with when I was younger. Like, now I think I've got quite a good support group, but when I was young, I didn't have that support group. And I think that's what was programmed into my brain. This is how business is. And I don't think it is and isn't. So yeah, I've dealt with lonely aspect from when I was younger and I didn't have anyone to ask. And I remember my parents didn't think I could ask them because they didn't understand. And it's like, if I ask them about certain things, I'd be like, I don't get it. So I've dealt with the loneliness when I was younger. Now, if there's loneliness, I know how to deal with it. I was young, I didn't know how to do it, and I dealt with it however I did.”

“If they come and visit, and it was only a few that actually came to visit like while I was living far basically, I went from west to east And that journey is like an hour in itself. Yeah, so but yeah, you actually realise who your true friends are. And I feel like when you're creating a business, you're going to get a lot of people that will be like, oh, you forgot about me. Where are you like? Do you know what I'm saying? But the real ones always be there. And I've realised that years later down the line. But it used to affect me, why are my friends not talking to me anymore? They just think I'm big-headed or whatever, but they didn't realize I was just chasing the dream. And I think at a young age, they only saw that as like, they didn't realize that until now, but like, okay, we get it.”

“Yes or no. Do you know what I'm saying? It has its pros and its cons. And I think it's what I would use the money for. I think if I use the money for self. By a big yacht house, like, because that could be very lonely. Like, whereas if I went and I did a tour and I opened up centres, obviously you want to spend a little bit money on yourself, but if you spend it all on yourself, I think that would create. Crazy sort of dynamic. Go crazy, go crazy. Because some rich people I know are so bored. Yeah, I'm gonna go fly to Monaco today. Yeah, I'm gonna go fly here. And it's like, do you know what I'm saying? But you can survive yourself with those rich people, but like normal people, they have nine to five.

“But it was like, oh, you've got millions of views. You must remake loads of money. So I feel like money just happiness and sadness, I think. But in the early days, I used to think money was money made the world go around. I don't think that anymore. Because money comes and goes. You're not going to take all the clothes that we're wearing and when you're in the grave, it's not going to matter. Obviously, you're going to have money left back for your family, your close ones, whatever, but it's like, you have money and you lose money. I've had money. I've lost money. So it's like.”

“It's like a young person comes to me and says, I ask them, what do you want to do? One was like, I want to be a lawyer, one wants to be a sprinter, one wants to a librarian whatever, I would then use my contacts to connect them to the right person. So then I'd go speak to a law firm or I'll go speak to like Apple or I'll go speak to the British Library and then get that young person in there for work experience, whatever, and to try and help build their self-belief and confidence. Because I think that's one of the big things that I didn't have from when I was young. I don't really have the confidence of self-belief because no one used to tell me you could do that. You could do that. I just sort of like looked at the TV and the newspapers and internet and made up my own mind. But that's one of the big things that I want to try and do for young people today.”

“I've got like four, I'm supposed to do one and then I ended up opening four because I just got carried away. They were centres that were closed. Two were like dropping sessions where young people can come and just somewhere outside of school and outside of your home, where you can come and just talk. Like you've got problems or whatever. And we want to try and do a lot of mental health workshops. And then we've got another session, which is music and media, which like JBR have kind of thrown loads of stuff at us, Apple, giving us loads of stuff, where young people can come and learn to produce, film Anything that you want, and then we've got one which is sports, which is like for kids that want to do sport. And I think the main thing I want to do with these centers is like, we've engaged over 150 kids over the past 13, 14 weeks.”

“I think when earlier, like years ago, I think money was a big happiness factor, but I've known people that I've got serious money and are not happy. So I feel like me, happiness for me is like being able to give back and improve other people's lives. And I was doing that for years with SB. I put artists on and then they'd blow up. And then I'd be like, yes, I've been helped a career. Do you know what I'm saying? And then after that, it became more about the community of doing the stuff that you stuff. And that for me was fulfillment.”

“Yeah, definitely. I think like And the thing with me, I picked the wrong battles from when I was young. I remember in year seven, like I was in class and I think like... Someone must have threw a rubber in the back of my head. And I was like, what? I just got so angry. And I think with that certain group of people that that person was hanging around with, I had like a problem with them. And I think, I don't know where it came from, wherever I just thought, yeah, he's just picking on people, whatever. And I remember had an outburst when I was younger in the early days when I was like, yeah, seven, you're like, everyone's new, it's like you're. You're making your name.”

“What is life? What is a fulfilled life? And that's what created me having anxious in certain places. I don't like this vibe or whatever. But I remember I worked in Top Man for like four or five years. And that actually built my confidence a lot because I used to have to go up to people and ask people for store cars I did not know. And I think that that was one of the most frightening things I had to do and that helped me build more relationships with people talking to people because I was just a very closed kid.”

“I think so, yeah. It's like, I think it was a confidence thing as well. Like from young, I always wanted to make videos and just put them out there and whatever topics I wanted to talk about, I was going to do it a few videos and that was it. I wasn't going to have no real life interaction. And I think that like... It's just always been there. I don't know how to explain it really. But I think a lot of it is confidence of, like, used to be like, money gives you confidence. And then I realized your actual life and your relationships gives you confidence with people. And I think it was just the wrong messaging that I was looking at and I was giving into that allowed my brain to be sort of... Sidetracked into what”

“And I was talking at Havas, and it was like, I've got a season ticket. And it's like it's happening again, like where I'm stuck in between. Like, do I go here and do I turn this down? And I think a lot of people didn't realize that I was massive football fan. And I've like... Starting going to a lot more games, and it just like removes me from everything, and I'm just in the game for that period of time, which I find for me personally is like a relief, like just from my crazy world. And then I go back to my normal world again. It's a bit weird, but yeah.”

“Yeah, like I find it affects everyone. Like you have these moments, these times where you wake up, and I don't know, your serotonin levels might be low or whatever. But I can only talk for how I deal with it. So how I deal with it is trying to eat better. Because when I have heavy meals, it just makes me feel groggy and I just feel what I'm saying. Jim, light is another thing, keeping healthy and just switching off sometimes and spending some time with friends and that is quite important. A recent thing is like football for me. Like I was obviously a massive football fan when I was younger, but when I started doing SB, it was like I couldn't go to the pub and watch games or go to Stanford Bridge and watch the games. So music took over my life. And it was like even, again, Chelsea was playing Valencia yesterday.”

“Yeah, 100%. But it's you. How you deal with it? There's that saying of people get thrown things at them all the time, but it's your reaction that is. What makes it whatever it is, do you know what I'm saying? Look at the football at the moment and racism. For example, Raheem could turn around, run into the car and stuff slapping whoever's being racist, but no, he deals with it properly, like a big man diligently.”

“Yeah, like you manifest. Do you know what I'm saying? Why don't you manifest you're going to do something else? Not manifest because I'm black. The reason I don't get that is because I'm black or. Or is because I'm young. Like, I remember I used to do that as well. It's because I'm young. But then I ended up employing someone that had 20 years of experience. And then me and that person combined got the job. And you just got to think you're in a situation, how do you take it and change it? That's the way that it can fit you. Then build on”

I know bits about it and I'm not like, I'm not going to say I'm like a historian or whatever, but I know about like... The pressure and all that. But it's like in a new age and people can say our Age or race whatever, but it's in your mind to be the change you want to see in the world, that's a gandi quote.

“I used to, but I used to think it's because I'm black. Like, I don't think that as much, but that depends upon the people that you hang around with and that you surround yourself with because Groups and I like to connect those groups. So, like my up market city boys, I would connect them to my state boys and we'd go to sew a house for example and they would all be there and they would all get on and they all like fine but everyone seems to make this segregation and I think back in the day I used to have that in my head if I never used to get anything because I'm black because I'm black and then I built my Mindset out of that because it was going to keep me trapped if I kept thinking like that all the time. And I just got a. I feel like It doesn't matter what race you are. It goes deep, it goes deep. Obviously, history.”

“Fortunately, people on business was like Jamal take as much time as you need. My head, I was like, Oh my god, is she gonna die? I was like, oh my god, I think she had stage three or stage four. I was really late that she got diagnosed with it. I think one of the big things that I learned from that was her positive attitude and self-belief came from me, not just from me just being, do you know what I'm saying? Going for it. And she applied that very like even though she's losing her hair, all that sort of stuff. She applied that she was like I took your mindset and I was like I'm going to make it through it and she made it through it which is good and now she's like killing the game on loose women so she's doing good”

My mum and dad would message me and it would take me that time to message them back and they'll be like, oh, you're right. Do you know what I'm saying? So I resonate with that. But then also I bumped into my aunt who used to look after me when I was younger. And I thought about it. I've never had a picture with her. And I was like, what? I sat down, I was like, look, we're taking the pipes. I was like, no, we're not, no, we're not, no, we're not. And I was like, pictures create memories in it. And I was just thinking about it.

“I think failure, and I think having people not care about you anymore. At the end of the day, the audience is the most important thing. The reason why we're doing this is we've got an audience, we've got followers, we've got people that look up to us, we've got people that, and I feel like once someone, a lot of people don't care about is what you're doing, you've got to look at something else. So it's like if people are not checking for you anymore, then you don't really have a business because the consumer is like quite important to our businesses anyway and just not being able to do the stuff that I procrastinate about a lot of time as well. So like there's loads of projects and I think crazy stuff. I think like every day is our last day, I feel. And sometimes I go to sleep and I'm like crazy stuff.

“Like the music scene right now, killing it. And even not just the scene in general, I was with my jamma the other day and she's smashing the game. I was with the showboys there smashing the game. I was with different camps and units all over up and down the UK. It just feels like a real moment. So I feel like I could do, with SB, I could be doing a lot more and like 2020 vision, I'm going to be doing a lot more. I have so many plans with like big institutions that I'm working on at the moment behind the scenes. I'm one with British Library. So I'm talking to like big brands and these are oomph moments that I could do just that and that will last a few months. I'll do that again last few months or a couple months.”

“I feel like I could be doing a lot more, if I'm honest, cars on the table But again, just from when I was a kid, my mind is like that. I'm involved in so much different stuff. I need to focus on it a little bit more”

The same thing for your wins. Let it get out there and then move on to the next thing. And I think over the years, I've always had to have these oomph moments. I did a talk about creating and curation. I was a creator at first, and then I ended up being a curator. And I think one of the oomph moments was like when I did social media hub, the first ever social media hub at Buckingham Palace where I took a selfie with Prince Iron Prince William. And I think it was from one of that moment, I was like, oomph, like that lasted for months. And it's like when we're working, you've always got to think of these moments. And I always try to say, if I have four moments in a year, cool, that's good, a moment each quarter. And then I can have little moments in between. But it's just...”

“That's why you've always got to have oomph moments. I class them as oomph moments, like moments of my career where it just gives me a new oomph for like a period of time. So, for example, the most recent one was I did a fashion week party at Sur House Greek Street. That was oomph moment, and it was like we were saying in a group, Oh, yeah, let's do one for Halloween or let's do another one for Christmas or whatever. But it was like, no, let that marinate. You know what I'm saying? Let it season. You know, when you put the season in the food, just got to let it get the juices. You know what I'm saying?

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like cool. It didn't happen. Let's keep moving forward. Like whether that's investment or brand work or working with an artist. And yeah, it's just about trying to keep that positive mental attitude. I think back in the day, I was a lot more like, oh, this is all going, like this is going to flop. Now I'm done. I would disappear for like a few days. Like, no one would be able to get through to me because I'll be so angry.”
