What are the core topics covered in this episode?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast where we cover three core topics. How to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity. I'm very excited because I actually have someone here that's been on camera for decades. So I'm actually going to ask him advice and questions after we film this because he has a zillion hours of experience on camera, behind the scenes, in front of the scenes, and everything in between on stages, award shows. It's mind boggling how much time he's put into this industry and so I'm very excited to ask him questions. As you guys know, this episode will be under 40 minutes because the average workout is 45 minutes, the average commute to work is 45 minutes.
This episode will be between 34 and 38 minutes for your listening pleasure. Also keep in mind, this podcast is not just for you. It should be for your friends, family, and followers. You liking, commenting, and subscribing is very useful for our charity. It's very useful for our podcast. It's very useful to spread the message about money because too often we grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. We want to change that narrative. That's why this podcast is in the top 50 all over the world every single week because of your help. It's very important for us. And also keep in mind, this podcast might be for someone from your past, present, future. You might be sitting somewhere four months from now and be like, wait,
I remember that thing he said, I should forward that episode. So as you're listening to these things, it's not just for you. Think about the people in your life. Without further ado, Mr. Terrence J. Give us a quick two-minute bio, so we get straight to the money.
What's up, Dan? Thank you so much for having me on your show, The Money Mondays. I'm so happy to be here. I have, like you said, a long career starting in media and entertainment. I started my first big national show in 2006. I was there. Yeah, you were there, which would have been 106th and Park. Went on to do a string of movies that generated over $100 million in the box office. Got behind the camera, produced films as well, and then started producing a bunch of television, a bunch of different movies. And then really got into financial literacy. And so now my portfolio encompasses real estate, investments, and yeah, just a bunch of experience on stages. And yeah, just happy to be here with you, man.
All right. I got so many questions. So let's start from the beginning. Normally, I don't do storylines, but your storylines involve a lot of things that go on with this ecosystem of talking about money.
Mm-hmm.
106th and Park. This became a phenomenon. When you first went on, how did they pick you? How did you decide? And then as you're like, okay, now it's year three, year four, year five. They're like, okay, well, they need me now. Just talk us through the business side of getting onto a TV show.
OK, so, yeah, the year I graduated from college in 2004 with a degree in broadcast journalism, I then took a job working in at NASCAR. I was working in their diversity marketing department and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't really what I was passionate about. So, while I was working a job and trying to stack up some money, I auditioned for a bunch of things. I probably auditioned for a hundred things.
Really?
Yeah, just a bunch of ... That's important for you guys to hear that. I auditioned to be in, I think it was Spider-Man at the time, just all types of things. Not as Spider-Man, but just all types of extra roles, everything that you could want to do in Hollywood. I got turned down and got told no a bunch. Eventually, they had a open casting call at BET. And I went to New York City from Florida, and I stood in line. I was probably number 500 in line. Wow. Yeah, there were thousands of people out there. Wow. And I remember going through the first round of auditions. I was nervous, I messed up, I didn't know what to expect, and I came out of the room and I bombed it, right? But the guy that was standing in front of me in line while we were waiting to get in, he came out like, yes, I made it to the second round.
