0:00.0	I won't feel like I made it until like I know my kids kids are good and I don't know
0:04.0	that's going to be financial or just leaving them something that I know that they can learn from
0:08.6	two generations from now who knows.
0:17.7	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger. Today we're talking with my friend
0:21.7	Charlemagne the God. We'll get into wives. He's called that later on in the show. Him and I met
0:25.5	years ago because of Robert Green. He heard the Robert Green episode of AOC which was our seven
0:30.9	year anniversary special. We've actually been around for over 10 years now. I give you some
0:35.1	time from here. When I started actually getting serious about the show, Charlemagne caught that
0:39.1	and we got in touch and we've been in touch ever since. He is a very popular radio show host
0:43.6	with a nationally syndicated show and a very popular podcast as well. He wrote an excellent book
0:48.7	called Black Privilege which includes a lot of legit advice on detailing how he was able to take
0:53.9	advantage of opportunities and become successful despite his origin story which will go over on the
0:58.6	show as well. He used to sell crack. We're going to talk about how he broke out of the gravity of
1:02.6	that situation and shifted into radio instead of ending up under a tree or dead or in prison.
1:08.0	We'll also discuss why Charlemagne thinks it's important not to live someone else's expectations
1:12.4	and how to figure out when expectations are actually your own, how to uncover how he reframed his
1:17.9	upbringing to become an advantage instead of the other way around and there's a lot in this man.
1:23.2	There's a absolute ton in this episode. I flew out to New York specifically to make this one
1:27.2	happen and to put a button on it all. Here's a cool email I got when I told the AOC family the
1:32.0	Charlemagne was coming on. They said, Jordan, if you were more hip hop, you'd be Charlemagne and if
1:37.2	Charlemagne were more of a nerd, he'd be you. So I can't wait for this episode and I can't wait for
1:41.6	you to hear it. So enjoy this episode with Charlemagne the God. We've gotten in touch a long time ago
