2:40 am
thathatcincinnati comes from gok to 443bc. this story. you can see that humility here, and even with even with that story, cincinnati, ohio is still the farming center of the united states. >> absolutely. >> armstrong: for the tobacco, whether it's small grain, whether it's cattle, whether it's horses, it's still the farming capital of the world and there's more grain, and more corn than any other place in the united states. which brings us to the fact that while you may not be literally farming the land, our very special guest is going to tell us a little bit himself is buildings communities. you have worked with business partners to build men in these communities, to rebuild in their community, finding jobs, creating opportunities, getting ready to, i would call them, but
2:41 am
bengals, he played with them four years, and played for oakland raiders. and grew up in the states. tell us about yourself? >> guest: absolutely, thank you, armstrong. so i am first generation nigerian american, i was born in charlottesville, virginia and extremely blessed. i was fortunate enough to play american football at university of notre dame, and was then drafted by marvin lewis, and the cincinnati bengals. that is how i made cincinnati my home, and since 2007. >> armstrong: so how did you make the transformation from the playingfield to building inner cities. you decided that you wanted to come home. >> guest: absolutely. >> armstrong: you made sin your home and what you are be -- cincinna
2:42 am
footage that we filmed during our it's incredible. how is it that one man can make such a difference in their community. >> guest: i had a professor in notre dame, business professor, and he said that the key to successful business is not how many deals you can do or were it not of the people. i focused on building relationships, and i've always been extremely fascinated by real estate, so when i started making a little bit of money, i made my first investment in 2008, and then as professional athlete, you know, we typically don't get approached with good business ventures. so that really made me motivated to explore other opportunities, and so i started out -- i saw an investment vehicle, and to me, and as i said before, you know, you look at any successful generational, wealthy family out there, they have always had one th
2:43 am
solid real estate portfolio. i go right in, and that is something i have challenged other of my peers including the chance for may weather to come along with us, with me, and he has been an investor as well as other current and foremen athletes. >> armstrong: talk about the impact that it has on the lives of the people in these communities, and how others can embrace your story and duplicate it where they are. >> guest: absolutely. at end of the day it comes to empowerment and providing others with opportunity. you know, marvin lewis drafted me and gave me an opportunity to play. you know, i take that, extremely humbled by that opportunity. and so when you have real estate development projects, there's a certain amount of economic impact that occurs, and job creation happens, and from that it's a trickle down effect that family, like home,
2:44 am
for their young people, which is essentially what we're doing by putting the field together. >> armstrong: also, you teach us the entrepreneur culture to young people. >> guest: absolutely. >> armstrong: which is critical and you teach them the skills of entrepreneurship. >> guest: we have. one of th-- we are, and one of s that i absolut absolutely respeg like marin lewis, which is one the coaches, and may weather, who is one the largest athlete earner in the world that they want to show examples for other young people. young minorities of how to not accept, you know, the cards they were necessarily dealt and to give them strategies of how to come up, and rise. i think that is something i've always respected about floyd, it's something that i always tried to practice, and preach in
2:45 am
non-profit in the greater cincinnati area. so it's way more than just about deals. it's really in the day that goes back down for the people and we're extremely passionate about our young people. >> armstrong: why is it important that we have entrepreneurs, on commerce,in a generation wealth, and how that can translate into building cities and building communities? >> guest: the working class people, our young people, it's our future, and you know, for us to truly make a generational change we have to continue to have our current leaders of today sharing that message, and real or the deal, it's about people that that is going to impact and the generation change that
2:46 am
those messages are spread. it's really with what we're focusing
2:47 am
2:48 am
>> armstrong: and welcome back to the right side with your host armstrong williams. we're honored to be joined by the cincinnati bengals, marvin
2:49 am
lewis, legendary, as we traveled to the city of cincinnati. it's very interesting, i know that you -- i know people like to talk to you in the context of being a legendary coach, and a coach and a sporting icon, you know, i want to talk about the things that you guys do particularly here and across the country to make lives better in the inner city. people struggle and giving them a belief that they can realize the american dream, and giving them a chance at education, and particularly for people who are homeless and don't have a place to live. oftentimes even your clarity and the communities and make them better. >> guest: we do, armstrong, one the things i'm most pleased about, our players is their out reach into the community. the fact that we have a group of guys that with their foundation is a non-profit prior to the season every year, they do
2:50 am
backpack book drive that provides a day over here at one of the parks as jaysent t adjace jade yum. they provide food, for the kids, and provide a backpack. my wife and i own a non-profit, and for learning and school programs for academic achievement in the tri-state area that serve over 30,000 kids each year, and there's our football camp and some the other things we do, it's an out reach that way. it's to provide an opportunity for these young people to show them there's a lot of things they can do with their lives, a lot of it starts with the ability to want to go to school, and want to have an opportunity to do a good job in school, to open up doors to their future. >> armstrong: you know, as -- if you review all the things that the athletes do, and you as a
2:51 am
you think communities can do more of i in that effort improve and empower and make a difference? >> guest: i think one of the best things communities can do, is particularly, the corporations, the corporate world within the community, their out reach into the schools and showing young people that it's easy to turn on espn and sports center whatever it may be and watch an athlete but there's so many other fields that is going out, and the corporate people, ceo volunteer, being in the schools, and helping these young people tutoring, mentoring and reaching down that way to help mentor the young people more often, to me it's a great way to get involved, but also to pull our young people forward to give them an opportunity to see what other career paths are and everything that way that they can choose to do. >> armstrong: do you think for you as a coach, and sometimes your father, your role model,
2:52 am
when you these athletes, particularly as they are coming to you as rookies or whatever, they understand some of the -- they understand giving back to the community. is it something you have to teach them? is it something is just innate that they naturally do. >> guest: no, i think you have to teach them about philanthropy. and cincinnati is a very philanthropic community in general but you have to teach them. some of their questions, they're amazed because they think that it's something that is aiding them. if you have a non-profit you need to be putting as much money into it than anybody else you are asking to support your non-profit. i think that is good, but you do need to teach them and show them the way. many of them were aided along the way and they appreciate that. >> armstrong: you think even for yourself who have much experience in the
2:53 am
really understand theimpact that you have on the lives of these families by just showing up, bit getting your athletes and players and organizations involved in the lives just to show simply that you care and that you want to make a difference? >> guest: armstrong, that has blessed me so much. the lord blessed me to be able to do that and each and every opportunity i have, i'm going into a school on thursday afternoon. i'm doing an assembly, you know, and it's the school year that has had hate crime, and it's has some guns outside on the exterior of the school more recently. so one of the teachers reached out to somebody within our foundation, and asked if i maybe can come and speak to the kids. those are the things that touch your heart and you want to go do. each and every year i host 400 kids at football camp. and the families and the parents, it's just a wonderful
2:54 am
we -- the school program as i mentioned earlier, we honor about 8,000 kids. we close down the zoo on a monday night and we invite these kids and their families to come to the zoo, and our players have there and they are a part of it. they take pictures with the players, i take a picture with each and every kid. it's a big moment for these families. you know, as i wrap this up, and i want to again, thank the legend endairy football coach the cincinnati bengals, but we're not talking about building communities and building families, but building our nation. what do you think is the simple message when you go to these schools, you speak to these kids and interact with them, what is it that resonates with them that really makes a difference in their lives? >> guest: i think to don't sell yourself short. don't let anybody put limits on your life.
2:55 am
aspirations, let's try and put a plan in place to get there and don't let anybody put a cap on you, put a ceiling you on. that is the thing i think more than anything else, whatever it is, i hope that where we are in our country, that everybody understands that they can achieve if they want po work hard to achieve. it takes some help, there's no question. they need breaks along the way, don't let the first stumble the first time you trip up, don't let that z2gv6z zi0z

2:58 am
answers that aren't readily available. i think that is the one thing that is trying to push people and motivate people to continue to take an extra step. so work that extra hour torqueso work that extra hour, to see change happen. i think that is one the biggest challenges to say, no, the status quo is no longer good enough. i think that is what people say. >> armstrong: if you were mentoring people today who whatnot to pursue entrepreneurship, and the kind of path you show them. what skills or courses would you encourage them to undertake while they're in school and college? >> guest: i would say read as much as possible, and i think reading, you know there's not, you know one thing in business that someone hasn't already documented or done, and what i would also say is challenge them to study entrepreneurs. study succss

want to be, and emulate. think -- pick up the phone, and call them. i was extremely blessed to be a professional athlete. i can pick up the phone and call any business person that i saw in any space that i was doing something i was interested in. i just was always passionate about real estate developers. i spent a long time, calling and taking people out to lunch and asking for a little bit at a time. i think the one thing that people will be surprised is the willingness for others to help. and the willingness for people that are successful u know, i will go to lunch with you, or i will take you to go to buy a cup of coffee, i will buy. that is the type of motivation that i think young people can have to really try to open doors. >> armstrong: and finally, coming up next is the legendary coach that you think of marvin lewis, he will be joining us in the show. how do you convey to young people that it's
3:00 am
about pursuing money and materialism to do good and to make a difference? >> guest: i think in today's culture it's a challenge. but i think you know, someone always told me, pursue your passion and the money will follow. i truly do believe that. i think that fist and fore most you have to enjoy what you're doing, and then i think once you start to enjoy what you're doing, i think that undoubtfully the money will eventually find you, or you might be doing it for free. who knows, you know? >> armstrong: why is it that some athletes like yourself come out very successful, and others just sometimes hit rock bottom. it's a thing of fate or focus? >> guest: i think it's a combination. you know, i'm extremely blessed that, too, immigrant parents came from two immigrant parents that came here
3:01 am
nothing. they were entree pen you are others themselves. they talked about the importance of education, reading and staying active. i credit them with a lot of my success, but you know the other thing, is i started preparing for the end at the beginning of my career. and i think that is unfortunately, that is rare, but you know, any guys that i partner with, and i'm always talking about, hey, don't wait until the career is over to start investing and start learning and start making those calls like i'm talking about. you know, i think guys given the trouble after the careers are over, where they don't have that same, you know, that same activity like football in their life that really feeds that hunger and feeds that competitive nature. i think that is the problem: i always challenge guys to find what their passion is outside of football. >> armstrong: i cannot thank you enough for what you
