How a Vintage Store Became a Place for Second Chances

Like, it's about people being seen. The shop sells vintage clothes, but to me, it's not really about the stuff. It's about building relationships with people in the community. Like, I've kind of see what I'm doing there.

“Bluff Park, like, the things that people toss, right?”

Like, sure. The unwanted, whatever, like, I redeem it and give it a new life, right? Yeah, purpose. And then someone else can take that new life and put a story like, "No, where is this hat been?

Where is it traveled, right?" Vinny Charamonte is a resilient, authentic, and community-driven entrepreneur. Educator and the founder of Bluff Park Vintage. A vintage clothing store built around connection,

authenticity, and second chances.

I just feel like the world is like, in these echo chambers, right? We don't have real conversations anymore, right? So it's just, you just yell at each other and no one is ever listening. And so, like, in the space, my space, like, I see that as a place for these conversations that happen,

like, for real life to happen and to have discussions about God or faith or even politics. There's just too much good in this world that we're not looking at and we're looking to a lot of the hate. Yes, sir.

Yeah, we can, like, redirect it. [MUSIC PLAYING] It spans the globe. Like a super-highest cold. Internet elders.

We're ready. We're ready. In today, Apple is going to reinvent the fog. It's not over. I'm telling how we're--

The living-your-legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy

podcast for its success. I am Regretiers. This gorgeous man that's tearing at me in front of the fog machine has been sent to my cousin, Vinnie. Kear Monte, sheer Monte, sheer Monte.

Charim Monte, sheer Monte. You Vincent, sheer Monte. Yeah, both work well. Good job. Oh, thanks, Vincent.

You're welcome, Regretiers. Thank you, Regretardo. Oh, Regretardo. Vincent, what are we going to learn about you and your legacy makers episode?

We are going to learn about, I guess, how good question. What are you here, sir, here and right here? Well, I mean, I've had a business there for three years. It's a vintage clothes, I like to say that the blood part vintage isn't really about things, right?

It's about people being seen, sir.

So that's the shop sales vintage clothes.

But to me, it's not really about this stuff. It's about building relationships with people and the community. It's kind of a different little thing going on. Oh, no, for sure.

I can come up with three talking points here. Yeah, yeah. One of my favorite pieces that I like to wear is something that Lauren, my partner, got me from a vintage store. And there's a story there now.

Like because that came from someone's closet and that closet belonged to someone and that person has a story. So that energy's handed off. You can almost feel it.

You can almost feel like that story, that lore to this item. How much of that is folks coming in

“and then products being bought and then that story continues?”

Yes, so that's actually-- we talk a lot about stories in the shop and how everything does have a story in a purpose, right? Um, so we see things kind of like-- I'm going to get to your point.

But like I've kind of see what I'm doing there at Bluff Park, like the things that people toss, right? Like sure. The young one and whatever, like I redeem it and give it a new life, right?

The purpose and then someone else can take that new life and put a story like, "No, where has this hat been? Where has it traveled, right?" There's a dress in there now from 1908 maybe had a feed sack.

Like, so it's like 117 years old and handmade. I mean, it's still around, it's perfect. And that's the kind of-- you know, there's a story there. I got it from, uh, what does it add? Natalie and it was her great grandmother

being who made it back in 1908, Randolph County in Alabama for the time. So, um, so yeah, I mean, you know, people also walk in the shop, they see something, right? Like a piece and there's nostalgia there,

certain minds of growing up and my mom had that or what we know of. Sure, so. So you'll hear the stories too from people just about like their story.

And then I can take what they tell me about something they've learned or you know, share with me about that. Tell someone else about it. And then they might be like, hey, I'm gonna take-- - Right on.

- You get to hear that story on it. - So now that I've got you sitting in this chair, sir, how does one like run a business when it's all like hard and thriving and stories? How do you put a mark up on a story, and go?

Well, this piece is from like the belly of a shark. Yeah.

“Like, how much of it is story and how much of it is fluff?”

Like how do you price that? - Well, price alert, two questions, right? I really try to be honest like in everything I do, like I'd probably to have fault in a honesty, do you think?

(laughing) So I like to tell the story that's there, but I do realize there's a little bit of fluff that you can help like on social media

could have spent on some things.

But for the most part,

“when we're selling the item, we're also selling the story, right?”

As far as running a business mall around that, it's kind of difficult, right? Because, I mean, vintage clothes are in it's a thing, but we're in Birmingham, Alabama, it's really actually a really awesome city,

it's been on the come up for years. - For sure. - But it's just not a place you would think I'm gonna find a really cold vintage story. I mean, it's just not, so people walk in

and they're like, am I in the East Coast right now, or am I in the West Coast, or am I in the East Coast? Am I in the East Coast? - That's often when. - So it's just like stepping back into time

when you come to the store. So we're selling the items, we're selling an experience until people and they come in. If you see something you wanna try on, you're like, I'm not gonna buy that,

but you wanna know what it feels like, or just go put your gun. Just have fun, it should be an experience. So yeah, I mean, I guess I'm still trying to figure out how to build on that, right? - Sure, well, like on the business model,

there's a community and there's this, you know. - But folks are really buying into experiences, like to you, this is this place seems like so uncool, but everyone's like, that's the coolest thing because I'm just so used to noise pollution

and city life, and then when I don't have that, I could just look at my device for gaming device and go to a different world, right? - Right. - This is just like the good old fashion USA.

(laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah. (laughing) - What's in life living in a place where it's like less noise, but you're trying to attract the noise noise

to make a noisy living. - No, that's actually an excellent point. Like a good question, 'cause Bluff Park is a community within Hoover and Hoover's like a city outside of Birmingham, right? - Sure, so we're not downtown,

if we were downtown, we'd probably get more foot traffic. So we have to let people know, we're here, and we're actually in the middle of a parking plaza, whatever they call the Shays Mountain Plaza. Big parking lot, a couple street malls,

“and the only way to get there is like through a neighborhood.”

- Wow. - So people will follow the GPS there, and then there's like, then you just appears in this shopping area, so when people are coming, they're usually like, I don't know, the hell I am right.

(laughing) - Like we're here in the right spot. - Right spot? - Yeah, exactly, but it's wonderful, but so part of knowing that is against us, right?

- But that's actually kind of cool though, 'cause when you go to music festivals, you want to go to like, down the river, and up to thing,

and then finally there's like a light.

Oh, that's where we park, and then I got to walk in those three miles, and while it's time you get to your camps, I hear like, man, let's just put everything down, and we're like, where the fuck are we? - We don't know, we're too blasted to fucking know our care.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So how much is your clientele festival kids rolling through town? - Oh my gosh, quite literally rolling out of town.

- Yeah, no, we do get a lot of, yeah, I mean, yeah, a lot of festivals, yeah. I mean, we have a lot of concerts burning in for sure.

“- Yeah, we get to mix crowd though, honestly.”

It's not, it's not, you would think like the vintage vibe in your head, you know, it looks a certain way, but we've, I mean, there's a couple that came in, in their 70s, she came in looking for, but they came in looking for an outfit for him,

like the seat, fitted him as like trying on this dress, right? I think it's just gonna look great. - You put it on him? - No, no, no, no. - Nice.

- Yeah, he was reluctant, but we made some clouds in the air and we were not, and he was like, I'm down. - Oh, that fog was cheating on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So yeah, so they both walked out of the shot with new outfits and then they got all these compliments, they sent me pictures and they wanted me to put on their social media, so it's like a mixed, it's just a mixed group that comes through,

like, you know, I don't know who my target market I guess should be. - Sure. - But it's not, it's just, it's just, - You gotta have a cosplay section where it's just like,

bring us your cosplay outfits, because there's a lot of folks out there that just don't want to spend the fortune to create these cosplay outfits, but they'll buy like you's the ones they're exactly. Like it's such a niche, and the fact that you have

a brick and mortar that's difficult to find, is it amplifies the experience where it's like, it design not to be discovered, and like, once you find us here, there for a reason, and you're just funneling the sale, so hopefully,

they can walk on and buy that jacket that you bought for 50, sell it for a thousand. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be great, yeah. - You're welcome. - Make sure it's all yellow, yellow's in, trust me, it's yellow, it's red, no it's yellow,

anyway that's a different podcast, a yellow podcast, this is the red one. Anyways, my friend, what are we going to learn about you on your legacy makers episode? - You know, I've been going back and forth on what,

really just shared honestly, my life has been up and down. - Yeah, it's tough to figure out what you want to talk about. - Right, what's pertinent, you know, that's what matters, what's gonna help, obviously the business, 'cause it's a big part of this,

how much of the story matters, you know,

it always meant all of that, so, I mean,

Drup, Yenet Lana, single mom, dad left an hours for her,

she died about five years ago, man, I'm sorry man. - Yeah, but, you know, growing up was hard.

I'm on my remember one time, we never had any money,

we moved like every two years, because we probably least was bad, you know, whatever. So we're always moving different schools, I was trying to figure out who I am, right, like becoming this chameleon,

so I could kind of fit into any space, I don't, but still, I don't wonder, and I QI am sometimes. So, yeah, gosh, my sister tried to commit suicide. I would choose younger, this guy who'd been in our house,

my mom let him move in, he lied to her about his age. Income tax money came in one time, and he disappears, the jewelry's gone, all the money's gone, and I come home from school, my sister's in her, in her bra and panties,

drunk off her ass, and I'm like in eighth grade, seventh grade. So, and she's maybe, like, it should be a ninth grade. And that guy's gone, and in my mind, I don't remember if it was the same day, but I'd like looking back now,

“I think it was the same day, and so I don't know”

if he, you know, something happened with this guy, Doug, and her or what, but I'm not trying to talk to her about it before she passed, and I mean, she didn't want to get into it, so, and I understand that, but so, you know, in there's been other,

like, not a tragedy, I guess, with every trauma, like anyone's life, more than just those things, but I'm not dropped out of school in ninth grade, got on to fights as a kid, drugs, soul drugs, all those things, and eventually I got arrested,

and put it a jail for about four months, when I was a term 17 in jail, found God in there, like, like, legit got some purpose, right? No one's something to bigger than me out there, and definitely noters, got out of jail,

started, there's a guy that wrote me a card, he's a youth pastor, sent me a card, ball's in jail, I guess my neighbor told him,

I was there, I'd never met the guy, but,

so I get out of jail, and I'm gonna start going to this church, and like, all right, and anyway, he fed into me, man, like he would come, I was painting houses, when I got out of jail, just applied,

“except something in the paper, and painting houses,”

and he would drive like 45 minutes across town to come meet me for lunch, you know, just pouring in me like weekly, for maybe a year, and then he said, he said, I should go to college, and I'm like, come on, I dropped out.

So anyway, I went to the GED and I said to him, I've eaten study for him, just wait, I was gifted growing up, whatever, see for some art. I said, yeah, I got into college, did well there,

undergrad and biblical studies, minor in theology. Wow, senior class president, vice president, freshman class, senior spiritual life coordinator of the campus, like junior year. So just really involved, you know, whatever,

doing the thing, and yeah, so it went my life there. We've to held in head, leave there for about three years as an assistant youth pastor, wow. And working in a church is hard, I'll say, like, did you see sides of things, you don't want,

you know, just so, but we left, we back to Atlanta,

on Wi-Fi and I always say, well, actually, X-Wife,

we just got divorced in August. Oh, God, yeah, it's another story. But it's good, we're friends, it's like, she lives down the road everyday, everything is closed. It's just, we're different people now.

I'm just, I think Atlanta. And yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I was like, I never, my wife said, I never want to be a pastor's wife again. I said, I never want to be a pastor's.

(laughing) It's awesome. And that's not a knock on any of that. It's just, you know, you know, it's just not. So yeah, that's, and then we ended up moving to Birmingham,

I was a property manager for a little bit there. Do you still practice, are you still,

“you know, youth pastoring, are you still practicing?”

- Yeah, from your shop, from your shop. - So yeah, as far as peace and, you know, that's a, you know, a lot of Steve, like, I don't know if it's like a crisis of faith right now. I'm definitely, I just think God is bigger.

Like, you know, we're told Jesus, and then we have, you know, these other religions, I just think people get caught up in some of the details that really don't matter, and I think that just divides people. I mean, there's a way to be love and light,

which is a story about that to leave in my shop. To be love and light and to recognize that there's a higher power out there, and that, you know, there's kind of rules to the game. - Oh, if that makes sense, yeah, sir. - And then I had to stay in your lane and all that,

I don't know, I could go off now, but I just feel like the world is like in these echo chambers. Where all just, you get a new listening on people, you're on thing, and we don't have real conversations anymore, right? So it's just, you just yell at each other, it's like,

and no one is ever listening. And so like, in the space, in my space, like, I see that as a place for these, these conversations I have and like, for real life to happen, and to have discussions about God or faith,

or even politics, you know, things. - Sure. - And it happens there safely, like we, I mean,

You know, like, there's just too much good in this world

that we're not looking at, and we're looking to a lot of that hate. - Yes, sir. - Yeah, we can like redirect that. - Yeah, man, you were meet 20 minutes ago.

(laughing) It's just, I mean, it's sad, and I remember I was in my shop, maybe a couple months, about over three years ago. And I was walking away, and when you walk out, the parking lot is pitch black.

I'm working on that with my new playing Lord, 'cause I just moved like a month ago. But you're still in the same area. And I walk around my shop, and I'm like, what the fuck am I doing here?

- That's all right. - That's an actual prayer. (laughing) We can't talk to God, like, I know the Bible well, right? Like, there's a number of the hairs on our heads.

Like, if you know our names before, we were in our mother's womb.

There's like, if you know us all that,

I think those were thinking anywhere, right? So come on. (laughing) - Lord, did the last entity or anything, you want to be fake to, would be God in my opinion, right?

- Right, sure. - So come on, let's just be real. - And so I turn around, right? After seeing God with the fucking I do it in here, I turn around, there's a one little street light

just over my shop. But it's in this corner of the parking lot there, and in my lights on, and I'm like, oh, shit, love and light. I'm like, back and do that, and so just this moment,

“like, oh, no, like a place that's why I'm here.”

- Yeah, blah, blah. - It takes a lot of divine, not just an invention, but education to understand the signs, the signals, the little echo chambers, that echo chambers, a little reverberation of energy saying,

yo, you're on the path, I hear you, I see you. I'm gonna communicate to you only you would understand. - Yeah.

- And then sit on a podcast.

- Yeah, yeah. - Weeks later and talk to someone that can flip it somewhere you mean. - Yeah. - How do you communicate to people? How do you preach to folks that aren't open to it?

Or, let's do this, 'cause I wanted to bring this up in the last podcast. How does one understand the shadow work? It's very easy, you know, I was saved. I understand that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

I understand that it's just even saying that. I'm printing out the podcast into this camera. Is huge, you even get any reaction from Jason, it's huge. That being said, however, you gotta do the shadow work. There is a tick for the tap, there is no light without the dark.

I believe it's important, I folks understand that there is quite dark to it. And once we understand the darkness, we can kind of huddook in the light. - I like that, I like that.

- If you like that, that mortal comment, right? - Oh, that's true. - That's true. - Oh man, but someone's gonna step on be like, yo, I love what you're doing and I can hold your hand

and be like, praise Jesus, but there's a whole dichotomy of shadow workers over here that go, I need to be saved, just talk to me, see if instead of Jedi, do you believe that's a fair assessment that there is a dichotomy of Sith Lords are going,

I wanna be saved, where do I start? - I think I understand your question. There's darkness, yeah.

“Is there people out there that are wanting to be saved?”

Is that your question? That are dead, no? - Dead or no? - Okay, in the darkness, but I understand that the darkness is still being saved.

- That while they're still in the darkness, they're still being saved, is that we can-- - Correct. - Listen, if required, we can't let it go. - Okay, but I think I understand.

- Have you seen modern television tonight? (laughing) - It's been fairly busy, but-- - A little more left behind, that doesn't work anymore. - Yeah.

- That was very 80s and 90s. I grew up watching Jack Vennapy, I grew up in a Christian and boy, do I tell you right now? You turn on TBS and none of that is working, unless you're like in your sixties.

- Yeah. - You're not believing the old fashioned way, you need a device, you need something that goes, you need to be saved, because right now this device is saying,

no, six, six, six. - Right, then yeah, so what is the modern revelation that people need to go and go? This is how you do the thing, that used to be so easy to do 20 years ago.

- Okay, so up, like, and like, here's the prayer. - No. - I'm gonna be on the back. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

“So that's what to do years and get 20 years.”

- Yeah, yeah. - It's beyond the right. - I honestly think it's just being real. Like, you're authenticity will show through, at least for me, I feel like I can see people,

like I know if you're being real and not maybe not all the time, but pretty good radar for that. And I think people can sense it like how genuine you are as well. So if I'm being real about my life,

what's going on with it, and like, under free to share and just being real, then I think that that allows people to kind of let their guard down a little bit. And so in that in that space when you can get people

to just have a conversation and listen, and you know you're listening to them as well, and they know you are, that you're listening. But in that space you can openly share anything real. - Sure, right.

- And so at that point it doesn't have to be right. Religion can be whatever, but that's the space. That's the place where you can have those conversations. And then at that point, you know, in some of it's natural, I guess.

- Sure.

- And so with the person you kind of,

this guy, Robert, came in the shot one day, he's about to get a divorce. This was like two years ago, they go black dude. And we're having this great conversation. And I'm sharing what's going on in my life.

I might be, you know, where I could see, we're headed for divorce too, 'cause you can see it coming. And just talked about God a little bit, but really just about life.

And then hug this dude. It felt like 10 minutes. I mean, it probably wasn't that long, but that energy, right? Like so I'm just, and I'm, and I told him,

I've told other people, I'm just gonna keep taking this. Just let me just keep taking this energy, right? Now you don't? - Yeah. - And um, I don't know man,

if you can just get people to take their mask off. And there's just so much that like we could do together, then individual could do stuff obviously on their own as well. But you're just more open to other ideas

“in your out of the echo chamber at that point, right?”

'Cause you're not, the noise is gone and you're being real, correct. - Which is what I think I'm doing here. Like the moment it's really set me in the podcast chair, and I started saying,

started talking to crazy faith talk. People started like, huh? Like, like, wait, what, you're, you look like that, and you're talking to the, the why? - Yeah, I was like, oh yeah, this is the thing I do,

and I don't know where it comes from, it's coming. Yeah, so when I was being my authentic self and doing the crying and the all the things, things started turning in my life just like fast forward, quick, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do positive.

- Yeah. - 'Cause I was walking in faith, speaking in faith, I'm back on camera, doing what I love. And in many ways, I'm the transition of the word. 'Cause I'm like, this is what it looks like to be safe,

and this is what it looks like, to go through pain, to go through darkness, stay in the darkness, but be light, but understand that in my darkness,

I am powerful, and I have so many folks that need to hear this

because they think they're sitting in light, and they're like, nothing's happening. I'm just getting a sun tan. But they walk in darkness, go, hey, yeah. I feel confident and powerful here,

but I'm being told that, no, that's wrong. You're gonna know, I'm like, oh no. Jesus is modernized the bed, like, we cannot expect that Jesus is just Jerusalem cruisers and like, no, dude, the motherfucker turned the water into wine

for a reason, like, there's all sorts of reasons in the last person that sat there, gave me his, his whole interpretation of what that meant. I have an interpretation, you have an interpretation. But that's the beautiful thing of the story.

We all have our interpretations as long as we are speaking it, as what matters. - Right, yeah, and trying to speak it in love, I mean, there's a way to say it, you're just like, you're doing here.

Like, there's a way to have those conversations

“without brow meeting, I think they used to say”

or buy worth them, being all those things. - Don't cook them, drink it, it's the word. - Yeah, yeah. - But yeah. - Jesus.

- And I've had this conversation just total sidebar with my daughters, actually. Like, what does the church gonna do? You know, the church church with people have evolved or whatever, just and we've seen it through time?

Like, what are you gonna do? Like, you gotta, you can change the message without changing, like, the heart of the message, right? You can change the message without changing the truth. And I think there's a way to do that.

I haven't put much mind into that because I've been so focused on building my shop, but for sure. But definitely I think in that space, there's some problems that could be solved.

Some solutions that can be done to let people know. Sound that's such a shame. - So it's a lame term. - Giant video game avatar character with this giant place where people can flock to

and they know that whoever, that is in this giant avatar location

“and digital space, come from a place of love”

but all the exteriors, like, dark and awesome and gold and black, if only, if only. - I think you have your next venture. - I've made it. - Yeah. (laughs)

With that, Mike, Mike, my amazing brother of any Vincent,

what will we, well, we already asked you that, what will we learn about in your episode? What happens next for you? We're in the holidays, thanks, giving us around the corner,

Chris is in the corner. There's gonna be a lot of lonely folks out there. This probably will air after the holidays, but any positive affirmations or feedback for folks that are sitting around lonely

when they should be around family. Any, any, any feedback. - Yeah, that's, that's ex, like, excellent. Just because I've been experienced that this past year, just being divorced single.

I mean, I'm close to my girls. I mean, we're literally, the house is about five minutes from each other, my shots five minutes from there. And so, but, you know, like holidays, like this Thanksgiving, we were going to,

my wife, or we were talking about, I don't know what ever it was, but I said, I want to meet together, you know, so we were going to meet together but then it came down here and took my daughter,

but, like, so Thanksgiving, I'll be home Thursday, a probably won't open the shop 'cause it's Thanksgiving, but also I might just because I'll be there on the loan and I haven't been there in a week and I miss my place.

But yeah, there's, the last year we want to do this and we didn't, but this year I probably will, I actually just need to do it, especially not to have a space. It's just to provide like a dinner or like,

for Christmas time or even on Thanksgiving, I can't do it this year

But we do, there's people up there on the bluff

“on that mountain that, that they are lonely, right?”

They don't have anybody old young, you know, it doesn't matter, but to just to invite them, like, we're come here to this space, you're not to make it like, they're for the all the lonely people.

You just were having an event, you know, you'll come down here or they'll be feeding you, something like that. And then, in, of course, that helps with, you know, like your business being noticed in all that,

but that's, that's not why. - That's like the after thought I guess. - But I call it friends giving either. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- I never been to a friend. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- I don't even, I don't like it, like, (laughing) - What are we giving? - Yeah, the little little little little little. - Friends giving em, yeah, thank you, wait, oh yeah.

- So yeah, there's a thing I wanna do. Also, with, we just moved, like, locations from one side of the parking lot to the other, it's like, how your feelings, I took down the drop ceiling, painted it, and did all the things, and so with that,

we're going to do a mural on that wall there, a community-based, but when I get back home, we hit the ground running, we're doing Black Friday sales now, discounts, and a lot of stuff, and just boosted in that this morning, hopefully that does well.

- Right up. - And then, still setting up the new space, I've got to put like a green screen or something in the bag, something I can just take photos on, I've already got some good backdrops,

but we're still like filling out the space, it's functional, it works, but it's not the way I want it, 'cause it's been, we've been there about four weeks, but it still looks pretty badass on for such a short period of time. And the only reason I say this,

'cause people keep saying, it looks good, when I'm like, it's not, I'm making excuses. - Sure. - And it does, but it's not the way I want it. - Yeah, when you're ready to do a launch within social media,

“you should have a meetup for models and photographers”

to meet there, and use your clothes to model and photographers, can just set up and do photos. - We all free of charge and does everyone could just, we've done that once, and I would want, I want to do more, I mean, there's so many things I want to do,

but part of this too, there's been like this black cloud over me for five years, and I don't know how much we want to get into all this. - Oh, it's there for the episode. - Yeah, it's the warm up for the episode.

- Well, yeah, so I've been living under a false accusation for five years. - Wow. - I mean, very public, you know, I have a public shop, you know, I've been there for three years,

bringing like, models and photographers, there was push, there was excitement, and then we're got out, oh, do you hear this? - Oh, yeah. - So then they don't come.

And now some people, step through it, Jasmine, she's, works at an album school fine art. She's awesome woman, she came down there, led the charge, got another photographer there too. A couple models came in, is actually probably good,

because we may not have been able to handle it, it was what it was. - Sure, sure. - But still, it was, it was nice that people still believe in you, right?

- Of course. - Yeah, man, so. - So, what was the, who's the Paul's who are the people that are pouring into you? - So, what I learned from our artists,
