Rightness and Righteousness are not synonymous. Brandon is fighting to be right. But there will be peace in righteousness which is far more valuable. Truly appreciated the maturity of Cam in this conversation!

[@May5871]

@@user-bd3zy6wo7l The way that BM did that reminds me of what Charlie Brown did to Leaders Of The New School. He's (BM) is talking about cross pollination, but ultimately, he wanted to be the man, much like Charlie Brown was stressing how LONS was HIS group, though Busta Rhymes was THAT DUDE, within the group AND without it. BM is salty, because he can't be that dude and they are making major moves without him (in particular Fred Taylor & Ryan Clark)...

[@ViolentMLG]

Brandon messed up by being selfish though. Yeah, I understand the other dudes didn't want to invest early on, and he had to prove it was a good idea. I also understand that he didn't want to give up a larger slice of his company for pennies on the dollar. That's fair. But ultimately, if they had invested early on, he would've had nothing to disagree on later on, so realistically its nothing to get hung up on. Sometimes you have to prove people wrong. The thing he had that was valuable was all of the different personalities. They built that podcast, without them, it doesn't exist. So you have to pay them, or your business loses value, simple as that. A decent portion of their audience DISLIKED Brandon, its not like he could carry it on his own. They realized they could leave, start their own podcast, and make bank. At that point, Brandon accepts 25% of millions, or, 100% of nothing. I think Brandon, with his sky-high ego at the time, with 100% ownership, being prideful, felt the risk was worth it. He probably saw more to gain than what he could lose. He made a choice, he lost, it is what it is.

[@CJOTF]

As a former NFL player myself and as a former teammate of BMarsh and playing against Cam this is the space we as men needed. I appreciate how Cam is trying to bring us black men together. I appreciate the opportunity to watch, listen, learn from people like me. Congratulations Cam on a fantastic episode. ❤

Man business is business and they should've invested money in the beginning... It's different if nobody invested because Brandon is wearing 2 hats... Matter of fact more hats than that... He's working like them and investing... How are they equal? I'm coming to work just like you and I'm financing the business and you believe we all should be the same. So I'm the employee and working the same hours as you at work... Then I'm finding the sponsorships... And then I'm financing and making the business deals... And I gave all y'all an opportunity to invest in the beginning and you think we are all the same? Nigga ish... Then Fred Taylor admits he was too drunk and high to make a business meeting about his finances and he just says we could've done it another time? And cats are alright with that?

[@Gardenstategreat1225]

@@CoachQ773 thats what it is. BUT theres like a unwritten rule with our people. Your word is bond. Business wise he was totally correct but he knows how we operate. Had he stepped up and verbally expressed he wanted everyone to make the same effort around the board I believe theyd still be on the show. Instead they felt he told them one thing and tried to get rich off of them. This is why the say family and business dont mix. You have to be upfront and sometimes ruthless

[@CoachQ773]

Channing told him explicitly he didn't believe in the vision and he just wanted to get paid... What do you do when somebody tells you that? And then once it takes off and my idea works now you think the investment is the same? They're all millionaires... Why didn't they just put up the 100 thousand then... It's no longer 25 thousand because now I'm in the hole... BS... You actually think it's the same 25 thousand from 1 year ago? Really? Why you always got to baby ni$$@z ... You always got to treat grown men like children... Messed up

[@AntTurner]

@@Gardenstategreat1225 That's exactly what he did, he went back on his word. You can't tell someone we are all equal partners (25% each) then come back a year later when the show has blown up and basically say I want to put everyone on salaries while I retain ownership. Very snakish but in the business world it happens all the time which is why you have to have the paperwork in place day one.

Of all the interviews I’ve seen surrounding Brandon and the Pivot situation, Cam is the ONLY guy that kept it 100% real with Brandon and got a non-evasive conversation out of Brandon.

At the end of the day Brandon was the main name. You can't ask for equity when you're not on that level. If Channing or Fred started their own podcast no one will listen. They had to partner with Ryan Clark who has a following from ESPN.

[@robbennett5944]

Agreed he is big picture. Alot of people think he's being selfish but he started this thing with a vision to tap into Atheletes Vulnerability which I see most podcast eventually get to and I think Bmarshal wanted to build a system which could grow ridiculously. I think they had an opportunity to be closer to the Atheletes in regards to interview, post and pregame interviews. It would have been a win for the people.

[@shanehardy8833]

Totally agree

[@graciouslymissy3982]

I’m a 54 year old non athletic woman. I don’t personally know either of these young men. I don’t know the ins and outs of what “actually” happened. Reading the comments, it’s interesting how so many people are bashing B.M. There are 3 sides to EVERY story. This was merely his side, as much as he could divulge in 2 hours. He was vulnerable, he was at times “raw”. It seems like that wasn’t enough for many. I LOVE LOVE LOVED this episode for so many reasons. We got to see 2 brothers have an open conversation about love, life, loss and SO much more. Cam/Boogie (they both showed up) narrated this interview with the skill and mentality of a QB, sincerity of a brother and honesty of a friend. They will both go far. Hats off to Brandon for being willing to be vulnerable and as open as possible. Hats off to Cam for being brave enough to step in to your purpose. You DID that Beloved.

Exactly. I'm a fan of ALL parties involved. But people make mistakes and they should be held accountable when they do so. B Marshall came to all 3....said we are splitting this even, I don't know what this is, but we're equals.

[@ferrynpalmer3875]

@CoachQ773 ... When I watched this, I heard it as Cam was approached AFTER all this went down. I also heard B Marshall say he brought the idea of the podcast to them all when he had zero idea what a podcast was or how it worked. He then said he told them all they'd split it up equally, 25% each. I don't think he meant the brand....he meant the show, right? Then he says he took meetings without them, switched it up, and pulled the show into his brand. Unbeknownst to the other 3. Then I heard him say his idea was to spin off shows for each of them, under HIS umbrella. He dreamt this up in his head and sprung this on them when they expected 25% of the show. That's what I heard ALL of them say, B Marshall included. What I heard is shaddy.

Congrats, Cam and Brandon, on having a brave heart-to-heart conversation about real-life issues. ✌️ ❤🙏

[@teirracook4695]

This episode was great. I started watching IAA during the pandemic of course. The chemistry was unmatched. It’s unfortunate that these gentlemen can’t settle their differences. I can appreciate Cam held his friend accountable. Cam is absolutely right fix this shit and come together. This is really just that simple. Set the pride aside and fix it. ❤❤❤

This is the reason i’ve always been a cam supporter on and off the field the man will never fake the funk most down to earth human being i know honestly , we all need a cam in our lives man 1 thing that could never be taken away from him is being a stand up guy and just being a overall man at the end of the day great show great/real conversations none of the other bs 🗣️🤟🏽 … Keep being you cam you’ll go even further in life just by simply doing that

[@Nazavier23]

I totally agree. I appreciate his unbiased nutral stance within the conversation and his where with all to hold Brandon accountable in places while giving him his flowers 💐. Cam is growing, and I love what I am seeing thus far.

[@ToReallyLive.]

This segment made me actually respect B MARSH more than I originally did hearing the outside noise. He invested a lot, believed in them even if their visions didn’t align I think his heart was to set everyone up to win. Which is commendable”. He has his issues and just didn’t know everything going in. He was alot to deal with Ofcourse but yeah I can feel bro. Cam, hell of a platform and interview. Amazing content brother 💯🙏🏽 May God continue to bless you and the family surrounded by you. Love -Trl

Bro, been a Steelers fan all my life but have appreciation for Cam and all he did in football. Now to watch him evolve into media with such power and presence is awesome. I could listen to this dude all day. And his ability to communicate and keep the convo flowing in interviews is amazing. Keep it up Cam!

[@Jefff72]

I used to think Cam was being cocky but now I realize that Cam is just being Cam. Keep it up Cam!

[@byrongrimsley500]

It's never that cam as being cocky you misunderstand masculine energy man energy when you were raised with a single mother you look at masculine men as being cocky because you're not used to being around a man who was taught by his father how to be a man so men move a certain type of way and as I understand guys like you are new to this so you're trying to learn and teach yourself and watch people on the internet how you should be a man when your father should have taught you this as Cam Newton is teaching his son and his father taught him

[@joshuafootman1593]

To all black folk. Brandon is trying to take his platform mainstream. Not just settle for the "culture". I respect his grind because business is all about capital and sweat equity. The crew just wanted to show up to record but not the sweat equity of building the platform that BMarsh was requiring if they couldn't put cash up.

[@MikeBNumba6]

That is not what happened. Why did everyone leave him. Not just Channing and Fred, but literally everyone? The funny thing about all this is, is Marshall was the weakest link on the podcast. We tuned in for Fred, Chad and Channing. We could care less about what Marshall had to say about mental health

FACTS

[@mical2great]

This proves their points to me, when they first talked about leaving they said Brandon tried to MAKE them do more than one thing that they didnt wanna do. Channing and Fred just wanted to Pod and Brandon tried to make a Athletic Disney Channel with a foot in everything but at the end of the day just cause i dont wanna do all the extra stuff doesn't mean im not owed for makin this company what it is. They 100% were owed that 25% cause none of bmarsh other ventures happen without the crowd he got from the pod

[@clintinb5219]

I do think they were owed the 25 percent but I also understand Brandon because he took the risk. What if things went bad? He would have lost all his money. He is not wrong either they should have all put up equal money to begin but they did not believe. I don’t think anyone is wrong it’s just different opinions

[@TheRealist1.]

​@@clintinb5219they weren't due a quarter when they didn't put into it. I think Brandon was thinking bigger than the team, but they weren't there. They never bought into his full vision and they didn't need to. He should've kept things separate for them.

[@Ant-Man612]

@@TheRealist1. He told them 25% & didn’t ask them to come to all those meetings. You can’t go back on agreements with friends and expect it to go right. If he wanted them to put in money and go to meetings, he should’ve made that the agreement in the first place. Maybe change the percentage based on how much work people put in but all of that requires integrity and good communication. Brandon’s all over the place

[@TheRealist1.]

@@Ant-Man612 Fred was the only one interested in the meeting and he missed it. Brandon was busy wheeling and dealing, and that's the only thing I fault him for. He should've communicated not only his dream, but how he intended to achieve it. They weren't privy to the information he was gaining in the meeting, he thought they'd just get on board and they didn't. Trying to build a business around millionaires with their own businesses is tough, if there was other talent they could employ it would've worked. They only see the platform while Marshall was thinking bigger. They're rich and they're not driven to work or build, it was Marshall's idea and a hobby to all but Fred Taylor.

[@Ant-Man612]

@@TheRealist1. I can see that. That’s why you have agreements. Brandon should’ve taken a bigger cut to do all of the extra work along with Fred and everyone else can take a reasonable amount. But you have to be adults and set those agreements up before you get into business. I don’t fault Brandon and the guys for messing up along the way. But as an outsider, it seems to me like he’s not owning up to it and he still hasn’t fully grasped what went wrong. I hope they can move on and they can all do great things.

Keep doing your thing, Sir Newton!!!

I loved every bit of this show. Cam Newton has always been one of my favorite players but to hear him in this space and to have this conversation with BMarsh, it was amazing. It was refreshing to see/hear cam and his maturity and advice on the IAA situation. I appreciated BMarsh vulnerability about the situation as well. A lot was said and there was new information that we didn’t know prior to this episode. The way BMarsh explained everything made tons of sense. At the end of the day, life happens and sometimes as men but people most importantly, we let things ruin a good friendship and situations. I hate that but it is what it is. Hopefully one day these guys can get it together. If not, it wasn’t meant. Overall, such a great conversation between two successful black men. I love to see this. Cam, WELL DONE! Seriously, WELL DONE!

[@dontebuchanan828]

You can tell he gets so much validation from these corporations having conversations with him about his product, and it allowed his vision to get clouded and sell out the people he originally asked for help.
