Brandon throwing the Rollie was super player🔥😂 this was a great convo between 2 greats! Calling each other out and holding each other accountable. We needed this🔥🔥🫶🏾
Cam Really showed why he was a successful QB in the NFL. Trying to lead an Coach, while letting his brother in arms get everything off his chest. Cam’s an underrated Leader
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.
@@Peter-w4s1e 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)...
Cam gotta win an award for this or something like this just amazing. The plan, the execution, the delivery, the after effects, the influence. Mf greatness lmao Cam is forever a mf sniper PERIOD.
That's facts I love all of these guys I've watched all of these kings play from Superman CAM!!! B marsh, f Taylor, chan, and Ryan Clark man I love these kings keep Rocking kings I love you're content!!! 💪💯
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? Straight ni$$@ ish... Oh and I forgot... It was also my idea... The hell is wrong with ni$$@z... Crazy
@@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
@@Gardenstategreat1225 I kind of agree with that but y'all act like cats don't get burned out... Mentally and physically... 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
@@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.
B Marsh needed this interview, because Cam definitely held him accountable and asked the hard questions that have been skirted around on other platforms
Y'all sound like women. You have to respect what B Marsh said. Not everything is for the camera. Y'all say he skating around questions on other podcast and that Cam held him accountable. B Marsh just doesn't want to talk about certain things on camera bottom line. Look at will and Jada.. I got better things to do than worry about someone else's life. Allot of people are real goofs.
@@iamweno3858it’s not about him having money, it’s about others wanting a certain percentage, when he’s putting everything in, how could you expect more than what you’re being paid and they aren’t doing the extras, he literally just said they come for 6 hours a month and they want just as much as him . Make it make sense
Cam, Phenomenal job on this interview. B Marsh really didn’t wanna talk much about it but you opened him up. Perfectly done. Someone holding Brandon accountable for his actions and to his face. B Marsh didn’t wanna talk about what he did was wrong but he’ll come around. I pray and wish him the best. Thank you for this Cam❤💪🏾. Oh & I left watching IAA to watch The Pivot. Amazing show! 1Love ☝🏾 & God Bless🙏🏾
Channing and Fred didn’t want to be involved in all extra stuff Brandon was doing. They wanted equity in what they were involved in. Brandon didn’t wanna separate the two
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.
@@CamNewton Wow. I learned a lot during this interview. It was transparent, authentic, compassionate, and vulnerable. It is wonderful watching black men communicate like this. You treated Brandon with respect, you listened (not just heard), and you offered wisdom at all the right moments. Excellent interview.👏🏾👏🏾
Fred Taylor did a in-depth interview where explained what happened and when compare what he said to BMarshall you’ll see the full picture. The podcast was separate from the rest of the house of athlete business and it got combined into the picture once the podcast exploded. Never do business without paper work first
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. Then in the next breath when pushed by Cam he admits that he was taking meetings WITHOUT his "equal" partners. I now completely understand Fred T and Channing making the pivot, pun intended. That's shady AF.
How you know... They didn't even make sense... Why would he have an entire brand and not promote the brand? Cam Newton said when he offered it to him he declined because Brandon was trying to build a brand and he said he was trying to build his own brand
@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.
Always like B Marsh. You can tell hes wired a lil different but thats not always a bad thing. He sees the bigger picture in 4k and hes going for it passion included. Ya gotta respect it. Hes not afraid to lose because he sees it as a lesson regardless. Thats winning mentality in my pov. Salute Cam too, hes got a great product.
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.
The type of friend to let you gossip like a lil bitch on social media about how people bounced on you to get more money snd be around more professionals… nah he ain’t no friend
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. ❤❤❤
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. ❤
What a conversation 😮 it was so nice to see an elevation of content between two black successful men sitting in their masculinity, vulnerability and authentic 🎉such a breath of fresh air 🎉🎉well done guys❤s❤❤
Real talk, the best take away from the show. In their masculinity, being empathetic, honest, smart, emotionally intelligent, forward looking, ..... BEST PART
@@Antdenaro They are not riding off no ones coat tail. This is how they set it up as RC being the lead guy just like any other podcast, sport/debate shows and the news. There is always a lead, so I guess eveyone is riding the coat tails on all these other shows
@bumpskillers and all that's to say what? That he didn't owe them anything? Let's be truthful here, if not for Chan, Fred, and Ocho IAA wouldn't even be a thing today to even talk about! Whatever they're doing today is not so great. They don't even talk about anything of substance.
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!
Cam held him accountable and tried to make him answer like a adult and most of his answers was beating around the question or over talking bout anything except what was asked of him… he doesn’t hold himself accountable, Cam doing his thing I love to see it !!!!! This interview was tough as hell 💪🏾💪🏾
Brandon laid it out well. How did he not show account. It’s not all on him. You can’t sit idly by show up and think you are worth 25%. Difference in employees and owners!
@@dmath8377 if they the reason for the shows ratings going up or the reason for how many subscribers they get weekly to monthly to yearly, then yes they’re worth 25% !!!! He love to say yesterday’s price is not todays price well the value of that channel went up because of Fred, Channing, and Ocho !! So anything they ask for should be given !!! It was a episode right after everybody left and the new guys were there and Omar was going off because they’re conversations were trash compared to the OGs that were on there 🤷🏾♂️ do ya research before u speak on shit
@@dmath8377 that man trying to play victim and his stories don’t add up, watch the first of I am athlete when the guys first left, then watch his interview his stories are not matching up bruh 🤷🏾♂️ some shit u can’t defend
@@dmath8377 bruh forget all that WHERE ARE THE NEW GUYS SINCE THE OLD GUYS LEFT !! That shit right there should tell you Brandon is not a good business man or partner every single new guy or woman is gone or left him, Pacman jones on the Pat Mcafee show now getting PAIDDDD !! If that wasn’t a issue with the old guys, then why the new guys leave for the same reason !!!????????
The way Cam just Quarterbacked the I am Athlete conversation was real. The authenticity to a friend in a sensitive conversation while holding homie accountable was dope. Salute Champ, this is quality content fam.
he didn't drop the ball, he spoke about what was going on and the reason why it was hard to release video. why when someone make a mistake or something goes wrong we blame them, it ridiculous, we should appreciate the tranperacy and not judge them like you never made no mistake
Great episode. I’d like to see B Marsh, Channing, & Fred resolve their situation. I really enjoy Funky Friday, I AM, & Pivot. It’s always good to see us do well.
The way Cam said "Dont say that" when he said he aint got nothing good to say about Fred Taylor really really shows how a grown man carry himself and his people
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
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
@@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.
@@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
@@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.
@@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.
This interview is so impressive from Cam. No one can deny the love and respect players and people have for him. there's a lot people can learn from Cam and his experiences. Super cool to see Brandon share his experiences and receive Cam's message to him too. Love it, 10/10.
Brandon sounded real narcissistic like he kept saying he wanted them to do everything through his company they didn’t wanna do that they wanted to build together and do they own thing owned by all of them instead he wanted everything to be a entity of IAA and in a reality aspect everything he had goin stopped after they left or at least not popping like it was without them and they flourishing so reality tells the truth
It’s like Brandon has an identity crisis. He compares himself constantly to rappers and other people, his mind is just in the Wrong place. Even saying he’s going to compete with cam and try to be the best right after cam says they could work together and be something great together. He just sees things Ina completely narcissistic way
Brandon wanted to use them to build up his “visions”. Channing probably didn’t want to be Joe Rogan, Reggie maybe didn’t want to do cigars and cars. You can’t dream for others and be mad when they don’t share the same dream. They came in on a podcast
And then have the nerve to get mad at Ryan Clark for not wanting to put his podcast under House of Athlete. Ryan chose what was best for him and got to keep his own personal podcast and The Pivot.
He offered them the opportunity to be business partners upfront but they all wanted to be employees until the 2nd season. Which is where the problems occurred.
You can’t expect to get a huge something of anything you didn’t invest any money in. If Brandon spent his own money to start the show, he didn’t make any profit until the show took off.
It's all on Brandon's self centered ass.. I am athlete is no longer what it was. He let the best guys walk.. cuz he wanted to be selfish.. he got what he deserved
Safe to say this my favorite FUNKY FRIDAY EPISODE TO DATE next to the Water Boys… as a 34 year old black man.. there’s nothing better than this type of conversation Cam is 1 of 1… B Marsh has great intent great wisdom … but it can be bullish in the worst way at times.. but for B Marsh to recognize Cam’s wisdom and intent and allow it is a BIG SALUTE 💯🫡🤝🏾💙🤟🏾
I don’t get why they mad at Brandon Marshall when he put the money up and never recouped his money and they didn’t put up no money but go paid fir the shows they did it’s like someone opening a McDonald and put up all there money and tell his friends put up money and we’ll break bread but no one did but they worked there from the beginning and when the money start coming in now they want the sane percentage as if they owed it ,it don’t make business sense the people who don’t understand business they looking at it cause if there friendship and all them has different personalities so they will attract different people but it’s all them who blew the Show up so why they don’t ask the other shows they been on to give them money as if they own it just cause after they was on the show it blew up that’s the whole point even if the show blows up because they was on it don’t mean they deserve what the person who put up the money to start the business
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.
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
We don’t care anymore bro. Them boys winnin winnin, Brandon is still eating good. Just let it go🤷🏾♂️ The pivot is smokin his shit though I’m not gon lie.✌🏽
It’s clear that Marsh planned, invested and moved on a business idea FAAAAR beyond what his business partners signed up for! He wanted to create his OWN media brand that was exclusive of his partners not only in theory but in reality. Everything outside of the podcast he moved on and brought them into after the fact! That’s bad business. You spent 300,000 to grow your brand without your business partners prior knowledge. while your partners were the real draw and cash cows! No one I repeat nobody was tuning into I AM ATHLETE to hear Marsh
Cam got this internet content on lock. This dudes interviewing skills is off the charts. Like Brandon said, cam is reaching a new mountain, and climbing to the top. h
Cam, this has been my favorite Funky Friday to date. You are killing it with your show and becoming a great interviewer/host/podcaster/new media. Keep it up Big Dogg!
Cam held him accountable didn't make any excuses for him nor allowed to get away with those weak excuses for not handling business with friends the right way. Salute Cam🫡
BM missing the point. They didn’t give a fuck about IAA, and he was so adamant about building this “platform”. He was trying to use the podcast to build up his shit and that’s not cool. They didn’t want parts of HOA. BM actually is dumb because he could’ve gave them 25% of the POD and still use it to build up HOA as a whole
Cam used the perfect explaination. He gatekept the very people that helped him build. They were not going to put in money without seeing all the cards. He wasn't going to show all his cards because he was already thinking about his solo performance. He had a side business that he was going to use the influence of this new platform to catapult it from mediocrity. Fred, Chan, and Wayne didn't sign up for that. You should have separated those ventures completely. If you wanted to bring them in, you would have been completely forthcoming with your plans up front.
Brandon could have played it different but so could they. There's a saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it." It wasn't Brandon's responsibility to continue to try and convince them to believe and invest in what really was his dream and his vision. At every point, they seemed to not want to take on a daily responsibility to promote and build that platform, they didn't want to take the risks, they basically just wanted to show face and get some money. And that's not nothing but he was putting all the blood, sweat and tears into it.They were not unaware of what he was trying to do, they just didn't want to have more to do with all he was trying to do. And that's cool. They certainly deserve compensation for their roles because without them it would not have taken the course it did and blew up so quickly as a platform. But he was not nor should he have been their babysitter in a business venture. Even by their own admission they weren't trying to know more or do more.
@wjones8149 Understood 100%. That was their choice, but to protect their relationship, it should have been cut off at the point that he saw a revelation that he would proceed to venture in more. Or separate and pursue. I've had this happen to me, and nothing broke my trust more than to be left out of the conversations. Coming from where many of us come from, your word is everything. Once you lose that trust, it's over and hard to get back.
@@wjones8149I so agree with this and yes they did take his idea and created the pivot ... Them dude was chilling enjoying the retired life before Brandon pitched the idea of I am Athlete. Brandon is visionary for sure.. the execution is just flawed af at times
Grown man conversation! Salute to Cam for giving Brandon a safespace to be vulnerable. Salute to Brandon for telling his story and being open to hearing Cam's rebuttals. You can tell theres genuine love, trust, and respect between them.
Brandon? Why you have to empty the whole clip on The Pivot cast? 😂😂When he said … and Ryan Clark… i was like 👀 now how Ryan get in it? 🤭Anyway, both sides have their own version of disappointment and perspective of their truth. I’m not picking a side, just listening and hope they can all heal through this.
Cam appears to be a Top Tier human being. This is the kind of friend I am and invite in my life. Everything he said was with love, adoration and respect. That’s a real man.
it seems that brandon falls out with everyone he comes in contact with. Reggie Wayne was a cohost of the podcast when it first started and they fell out. He fell out with Chad, Fred, and Channing. Hes fought several teammates and hes gotten into with almost every coach hes had. At some point he has to look at the man in the mirror.
Cam, don’t go too fast I’m this! Do it wisely, and slowly. Haste makes waste. Business is separate with friendship. It’s separate from family, too! Peace, love, success!
And Brandon Marshall learns what it means to be a business owner and investor. You don't just give up ownership to your employees when you're the one taking on all the risk. If it fails, you're fucked. Everyone else got paid their rate and walk away with at least more than they came in with. This is what it takes for athletes to understand this.
I was thinking this throughout Brandon's testimony. If it wasn't in writing there's no obligation. Why hate on Brian when his dollars created the opportunity? They wouldn't get paid more than the contracts committed from anyone else. There's a price that's paid when you don't elect to become an investor or your partners contribution outsizes yours materially🤷🏾♀️ Talent has its value. It's never more than the investor/creator. Business 101
That was not the only solution or even the most viable. He should have totalled up the monthly expenses, then subtracted those from the podcast valuation,maintained the books,and cut them In the 25-25-25-25 he PROMISED them. A verbal offer is a binding offer in the eyes of the law. Dude is shady and the results are all those guys left
@@DavidPierre-zm5qqthe 25k was the investment he was asking each of them to contribute from the jump. Not one of them made the investment but they all got paid and their expenses covered.
@@DavidPierre-zm5qqGive them 25% of what? He's still in the red. And taking 25% of a company isn't just taking the revenue, it's taking the costs. So, they'd owe HIM.
It’s sad Brandon is his own worst enemy because he is so damn talented and entertaining. He treats everyone as if they’re ignorant to business and financials. Shout out to Cam for being the voice to the ones that aren’t there to defend themselves. He’s a real one for that
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
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.
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
THIS!!!! These are the facts. And you’ll notice that EACH one of the other guys never addresses this. They didn’t see the vision until somebody else already payed the way. Then pulled the, what I bring to the table card. Well where was the money at the table to get us here? NO WHERE. And that’s the part that’s missing.
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. I think Brandon needed to get that off his chest and in return Cam still wasn’t 🧢ing for Brandon just because he was sitting there. Cam you’re the man for that!
For someone who looks to build a brand just as big as IAA, this interview is probably the most valuable piece of content I’ve ever heard.. Cam salute to you and Marsh for your hard work brother & dedication to this industry
Great job Cam. Brandon messed up a good thing by not keeping the main thing, the main thing. He absolutely does bad business because you can't expand on something that's not financially strong. Homie trying to expand without building a solid foundation. Not to mention, you can't start with 25% 25% 25% 25%, and then say "forget that, I put up all the money so I want more". You knew that when you were putting in the startup capital. Either build the model based on you getting your money back first, then talk revenue share OR, take a higher percentage from the start. That's bad business.
Loved, Loved this episode. I've always admired B. Marshall and I was happy to see him be vunerable and open about everting with IAA!! Good Luck Brandon!! :)
Maybe I'm missing something. He said the watches and cars don't matter as long as his wife and kids are good. Then Why is he worried About what other pods are doing. His family ain't got nothing to worry about as long as they walk this earth.
Brandon has been saying a lot of I in this interview about the breakup when it comes to the podcast and wonder why everyone left. It’s always just been about I for him.
I feel like all Brandon did name drop and money drop what he "did" for everybody!!! Cam did great talkin and being there to give direction from some of his comments!!
CAM I am in awe at your patience during conversation to then have the “conversation “ of intelligence without ridicule and get to the meat and potatoes of it🙏🏾
I watched IAA during the pandemic & truly enjoyed it. But then I start to notice a shift in the series. I was happy when Fred & Channing started the PIVOT!!
IAA was one of my favorite podcast. It's unfortunate that they couldn't work it out. I wish both podcast the best. But I must admit that I'm now a Pivot fan!
I’m sorry , if Channing and Fred didn’t put up bread, I wouldn’t pay them 25% either, for the simple fact that if everything went to complete shit they wouldn’t take the hit with me
This conversation made me proud to be a blk man! A lot of men be knowing both sides and instead of fueling the situation he’s trying to bring peace respect ✊🏾
The networks got it wrong about Fred and Channing because when they left I stopped watching I am athlete. Don’t get me wrong Brandon is cool but the cast they had was 1 of 1. They were able to pivot and go hard but I am athlete just isn’t the same
☝🏽one more thing…. Brandon kept interrupting Cam. Like I said Cam did a really good job of maintaining control of the interview but, B was all over the place (ADHD style) He has a lot on his mind. Emotions wise. Anger and anxiety it’s all over him and he lashes out at people. Why else would you be on here taking shots at other grown men? Telling his son that’s “bitch behavior”? Dang! I was thinking this man has some stuff going on. CTE maybe?
I love how Cam kept it real with Brandon and vice versa, that's what real friend do with each other.
Cam’s patience is COMMENDABLE in this.
I was like dam why bra keep cuttin him off when they was talking about the I am athlete situation
I came here to say this!
When Brandon speaks, everyone needs to shut up and listen!
OMG 😂❤ that’s was thinking the same watching this. A space to allow people to be who they really are 💯💯🥺🥺 who we don’t know
@@LR_PX he cut him off the whole interview like chill brother
Brandon keeps reminding us that friendship and money don't mesh well for some people.
*Most
Brandon throwing the Rollie was super player🔥😂 this was a great convo between 2 greats! Calling each other out and holding each other accountable. We needed this🔥🔥🫶🏾
That was his way of letting us know he had a Rolex.
Damn this is the longest vid I ever watched on TH-cam sheesh great episode.
Cam Really showed why he was a successful QB in the NFL. Trying to lead an Coach, while letting his brother in arms get everything off his chest. Cam’s an underrated Leader
I am athlete was the first sports podcast I watched. They were groundbreaking
And now its a ghost town with all the former colleagues working somewhere else
Yeah, then most of us had to pivot. IAA was cool for a minute but it’s over with
Can't lie same here I was glued in now it's ghost
@@RhetoricWolf I don’t fuck with Ryan Clark fake ass….and Fred is toooooo cool!! Fuxk the pivot
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.
I really love how Cam doesn't allow him to throw shade and he holds him accountable.
brandon marshall seems like a loser to me.

Cam really took his time with this interview. Had great pacing when asking questions and held Brandon accountable. Great progess.
Held him accountable without "doing too much" he was perfectly balanced.....BM FUMBLED The bag....greed
@@Peter-w4s1e 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)...
Cam is asking the right questions.... This is how a real interview should be... Great Job
Cam gotta win an award for this or something like this just amazing. The plan, the execution, the delivery, the after effects, the influence. Mf greatness lmao Cam is forever a mf sniper PERIOD.
Not gonna lie this interview made me respect Cam on a whole different level. He did his mutha fuwkin thing on this interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💪
I agree! He didn't let Brandon control the conversation.
Sure gained my respect.
Until he said he a HOF Qb 😂😭😭😭😭
He didn’t Say it at first, though!
This was a good episode. I wish the best for B Marsh and his platform and for the Pivot podcast. There’s room for all these Black men to succeed.
That's facts I love all of these guys I've watched all of these kings play from Superman CAM!!! B marsh, f Taylor, chan, and Ryan Clark man I love these kings keep Rocking kings I love you're content!!! 💪💯
Well said. 🫡
Yes, there's room for all!
Agree
Yes I agree 💯 Cam❤❤ and Brandon ❤❤ will always be #1 in my book. Love the pivot as well 🎉🎉
This was a healthy conversation between both. I’m glad Cam knows how to communicate with out debate. It helped BMarsh speak as well
He really does know how to talk to him.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how Cam held Brandon accountable for his actions!!
I hate when hosts bootlick their guests ...glad he didn't let him slide
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? Straight ni$$@ ish... Oh and I forgot... It was also my idea... The hell is wrong with ni$$@z... Crazy
@@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
@@Gardenstategreat1225 I kind of agree with that but y'all act like cats don't get burned out... Mentally and physically... 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
@@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.
B Marsh needed this interview, because Cam definitely held him accountable and asked the hard questions that have been skirted around on other platforms
Cam got his own bread. He's not looking for favors from B Marsh or ways to bubble with him. Also he's just as physically imposing as B Marsh lol
When you're financially successful, you don't rely on others who don't contribute. Sooo, I can ask anything and not get worried.
Y'all sound like women. You have to respect what B Marsh said. Not everything is for the camera. Y'all say he skating around questions on other podcast and that Cam held him accountable. B Marsh just doesn't want to talk about certain things on camera bottom line. Look at will and Jada.. I got better things to do than worry about someone else's life. Allot of people are real goofs.
@@bigpif165thank you for reasonable putting it instead of jumping on the b marsh hate bandwagon
@@iamweno3858it’s not about him having money, it’s about others wanting a certain percentage, when he’s putting everything in, how could you expect more than what you’re being paid and they aren’t doing the extras, he literally just said they come for 6 hours a month and they want just as much as him . Make it make sense
Cam, Phenomenal job on this interview. B Marsh really didn’t wanna talk much about it but you opened him up. Perfectly done. Someone holding Brandon accountable for his actions and to his face. B Marsh didn’t wanna talk about what he did was wrong but he’ll come around. I pray and wish him the best. Thank you for this Cam❤💪🏾. Oh & I left watching IAA to watch The Pivot. Amazing show! 1Love ☝🏾 & God Bless🙏🏾
I agree this is my first time on cams pod he controlled this interview like a boss
Problem is BMarsh will never really take accountability. He still saying poor poor me.
“Y’all did more harm emotionally than help financially” Cam with the bars! Truth!
Channing and Fred didn’t want to be involved in all extra stuff Brandon was doing. They wanted equity in what they were involved in. Brandon didn’t wanna separate the two
Brandon was trying to keep them boys in the Cotton fields while filling they tables up with soul food naw fam not again
Other guys should have invest from the beginning not when the guy who owns the company decides otherwise. Business there is no friendship.
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.
They used the momentum from IAA to start their own show. It's a shady move no matter how you look at it.

@@CamNewton Wow. I learned a lot during this interview. It was transparent, authentic, compassionate, and vulnerable. It is wonderful watching black men communicate like this. You treated Brandon with respect, you listened (not just heard), and you offered wisdom at all the right moments. Excellent interview.👏🏾👏🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 interview !!
Fred Taylor did a in-depth interview where explained what happened and when compare what he said to BMarshall you’ll see the full picture. The podcast was separate from the rest of the house of athlete business and it got combined into the picture once the podcast exploded. Never do business without paper work first
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. Then in the next breath when pushed by Cam he admits that he was taking meetings WITHOUT his "equal" partners. I now completely understand Fred T and Channing making the pivot, pun intended. That's shady AF.
Y'all sum big boys mane. Great episode American men being men real great to see the positive impact Y'all have on each other and the community.
How you know... They didn't even make sense... Why would he have an entire brand and not promote the brand? Cam Newton said when he offered it to him he declined because Brandon was trying to build a brand and he said he was trying to build his own brand
@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.
@@ferrynpalmer3875 NO not 25% each. A 25k investment each

I don’t understand, if they didn’t invest how can they expect 25% equity. There has to be more to this story.
Always like B Marsh. You can tell hes wired a lil different but thats not always a bad thing. He sees the bigger picture in 4k and hes going for it passion included. Ya gotta respect it. Hes not afraid to lose because he sees it as a lesson regardless. Thats winning mentality in my pov. Salute Cam too, hes got a great product.
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.
Totally agree

He didn’t think Channing and Fred could do it without him , now look how the tables turn.
Yea riding RC coat tail
@@Antdenaro They are not riding off no ones coat tail. This is how they set it up as RC being the lead guy just like any other podcast, sport/debate shows and the news. There is always a lead, so I guess eveyone is riding the coat tails on all these other shows
He gave them the vision and recipe. They wouldn’t have even dreamed about even doing a podcast if he did bring the idea to the table and execute on it
@bumpskillers and all that's to say what? That he didn't owe them anything? Let's be truthful here, if not for Chan, Fred, and Ocho IAA wouldn't even be a thing today to even talk about! Whatever they're doing today is not so great. They don't even talk about anything of substance.
This is my view. He undervalued their contribution. Ironically like many TV stations and studios. @@roszell12
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!
Cam held him accountable and tried to make him answer like a adult and most of his answers was beating around the question or over talking bout anything except what was asked of him… he doesn’t hold himself accountable, Cam doing his thing I love to see it !!!!! This interview was tough as hell 💪🏾💪🏾
Seriously. A whole lot of word salad.
Brandon laid it out well. How did he not show account. It’s not all on him. You can’t sit idly by show up and think you are worth 25%. Difference in employees and owners!
@@dmath8377 if they the reason for the shows ratings going up or the reason for how many subscribers they get weekly to monthly to yearly, then yes they’re worth 25% !!!!

well it is his show right
I’m disappointed in what b marsh did with IAA he def dropped the ball a few times.
he didn't drop the ball, he spoke about what was going on and the reason why it was hard to release video. why when someone make a mistake or something goes wrong we blame them, it ridiculous, we should appreciate the tranperacy and not judge them like you never made no mistake
Where is chef Nancy??
Where is anybody? Everyone left and is working somewhere else, Ocho is with Shay Shady is with ESPN Pacman is with Mcafee@@sharesecombs3931
Great episode. I’d like to see B Marsh, Channing, & Fred resolve their situation. I really enjoy Funky Friday, I AM, & Pivot. It’s always good to see us do well.
“I love us” keem voice
They resolved it. They made a better podcast than BM could think about
Meet for what??? The PIVOT is humming along and they haven’t looked back.
I don’t think they will ever break bread again. Bad business sours relationships all of the time, add in that it’s been public. It’s a wrap
It won’t be resolved till he stops lying, gaslighting and holds himself accountable.💯
The way Cam said "Dont say that" when he said he aint got nothing good to say about Fred Taylor really really shows how a grown man carry himself and his people
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
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
@@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.
@@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
@@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.
@@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.
This interview is so impressive from Cam. No one can deny the love and respect players and people have for him. there's a lot people can learn from Cam and his experiences. Super cool to see Brandon share his experiences and receive Cam's message to him too. Love it, 10/10.
👑 s teachings❤
This is what the world is afraid of Kings coming together agreeing to disagree without disrespecting one another
Brandon sounded real narcissistic like he kept saying he wanted them to do everything through his company they didn’t wanna do that they wanted to build together and do they own thing owned by all of them instead he wanted everything to be a entity of IAA and in a reality aspect everything he had goin stopped after they left or at least not popping like it was without them and they flourishing so reality tells the truth
It’s like Brandon has an identity crisis. He compares himself constantly to rappers and other people, his mind is just in the Wrong place. Even saying he’s going to compete with cam and try to be the best right after cam says they could work together and be something great together. He just sees things Ina completely narcissistic way
Brandon wanted to use them to build up his “visions”. Channing probably didn’t want to be Joe Rogan, Reggie maybe didn’t want to do cigars and cars. You can’t dream for others and be mad when they don’t share the same dream. They came in on a podcast
Great point
And then have the nerve to get mad at Ryan Clark for not wanting to put his podcast under House of Athlete. Ryan chose what was best for him and got to keep his own personal podcast and The Pivot.
He offered them the opportunity to be business partners upfront but they all wanted to be employees until the 2nd season. Which is where the problems occurred.
You can’t expect to get a huge something of anything you didn’t invest any money in. If Brandon spent his own money to start the show, he didn’t make any profit until the show took off.
@@vonshep8465 im not talking about financials in any way
I think Cam is heartbroken by this situation. Having to see these guys with great chemistry at each others neck PUBLICLY like this.
It's all on Brandon's self centered ass.. I am athlete is no longer what it was. He let the best guys walk.. cuz he wanted to be selfish.. he got what he deserved
Congrats, Cam and Brandon, on having a brave heart-to-heart conversation about real-life issues. ✌️ ❤🙏
Safe to say this my favorite FUNKY FRIDAY EPISODE TO DATE next to the Water Boys… as a 34 year old black man.. there’s nothing better than this type of conversation Cam is 1 of 1… B Marsh has great intent great wisdom … but it can be bullish in the worst way at times.. but for B Marsh to recognize Cam’s wisdom and intent and allow it is a BIG SALUTE 💯🫡🤝🏾💙🤟🏾
I don’t get why they mad at Brandon Marshall when he put the money up and never recouped his money and they didn’t put up no money but go paid fir the shows they did it’s like someone opening a McDonald and put up all there money and tell his friends put up money and we’ll break bread but no one did but they worked there from the beginning and when the money start coming in now they want the sane percentage as if they owed it ,it don’t make business sense the people who don’t understand business they looking at it cause if there friendship and all them has different personalities so they will attract different people but it’s all them who blew the Show up so why they don’t ask the other shows they been on to give them money as if they own it just cause after they was on the show it blew up that’s the whole point even if the show blows up because they was on it don’t mean they deserve what the person who put up the money to start the business
I pray Brandon, Channing and Fred can be at peace with one another one day and work towards repairing their friendship.
RC ain’t having though. These conversations should be had in private.
Trying to address it in public serves nothing toward getting to reconciliation.
@@hazeleyedsoul3282they’re the ones that brought it out into public though
Nah they good without this snake, he has no accountability.
Used to love the I Am Athlete podcasts. I hate that they hate each other now. I'm rooting for all of them.
brandon marshall a gaslighter so much emphasis and detail about what other ppl doing but so dry when it’s his side of story
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.
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
We don’t care anymore bro. Them boys winnin winnin, Brandon is still eating good. Just let it go🤷🏾♂️ The pivot is smokin his shit though I’m not gon lie.✌🏽
It’s clear that Marsh planned, invested and moved on a business idea FAAAAR beyond what his business partners signed up for! He wanted to create his OWN media brand that was exclusive of his partners not only in theory but in reality. Everything outside of the podcast he moved on and brought them into after the fact! That’s bad business. You spent 300,000 to grow your brand without your business partners prior knowledge. while your partners were the real draw and cash cows! No one I repeat nobody was tuning into I AM ATHLETE to hear Marsh
NOBODY! But everybody tunes into the pivot. It’s actually great content and chemistry.
Cam got this internet content on lock. This dudes interviewing skills is off the charts. Like Brandon said, cam is reaching a new mountain, and climbing to the top.
h
Wdym, he's barely listening to him. Brandon had to repeat himself 3 or 4 times. Cam comes across as a moron.
Are u a Moran, urself?
@@boomshakalaka8567 you are very judgemental and most likely a hater
Cam, this has been my favorite Funky Friday to date. You are killing it with your show and becoming a great interviewer/host/podcaster/new media. Keep it up Big Dogg!
Cam held him accountable didn't make any excuses for him nor allowed to get away with those weak excuses for not handling business with friends the right way. Salute Cam🫡
BM missing the point. They didn’t give a fuck about IAA, and he was so adamant about building this “platform”. He was trying to use the podcast to build up his shit and that’s not cool. They didn’t want parts of HOA. BM actually is dumb because he could’ve gave them 25% of the POD and still use it to build up HOA as a whole
Thank you so much Cam! Keep being a brother to other Kings while we all building our kingdoms and showing the world! ❤️🖤💚👑✊🏾👑💚🖤❤️
Cam used the perfect explaination. He gatekept the very people that helped him build. They were not going to put in money without seeing all the cards. He wasn't going to show all his cards because he was already thinking about his solo performance. He had a side business that he was going to use the influence of this new platform to catapult it from mediocrity. Fred, Chan, and Wayne didn't sign up for that. You should have separated those ventures completely. If you wanted to bring them in, you would have been completely forthcoming with your plans up front.
Brandon could have played it different but so could they. There's a saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it." It wasn't Brandon's responsibility to continue to try and convince them to believe and invest in what really was his dream and his vision. At every point, they seemed to not want to take on a daily responsibility to promote and build that platform, they didn't want to take the risks, they basically just wanted to show face and get some money. And that's not nothing but he was putting all the blood, sweat and tears into it.They were not unaware of what he was trying to do, they just didn't want to have more to do with all he was trying to do. And that's cool. They certainly deserve compensation for their roles because without them it would not have taken the course it did and blew up so quickly as a platform. But he was not nor should he have been their babysitter in a business venture. Even by their own admission they weren't trying to know more or do more.
But I do get and understand your point, bro. Peace.
@wjones8149 Understood 100%. That was their choice, but to protect their relationship, it should have been cut off at the point that he saw a revelation that he would proceed to venture in more. Or separate and pursue. I've had this happen to me, and nothing broke my trust more than to be left out of the conversations. Coming from where many of us come from, your word is everything. Once you lose that trust, it's over and hard to get back.
@@wjones8149I so agree with this and yes they did take his idea and created the pivot ... Them dude was chilling enjoying the retired life before Brandon pitched the idea of I am Athlete. Brandon is visionary for sure.. the execution is just flawed af at times
Grown man conversation! Salute to Cam for giving Brandon a safespace to be vulnerable. Salute to Brandon for telling his story and being open to hearing Cam's rebuttals. You can tell theres genuine love, trust, and respect between them.
FACTS
Brandon? Why you have to empty the whole clip on The Pivot cast? 😂😂When he said … and Ryan Clark… i was like 👀 now how Ryan get in it? 🤭Anyway, both sides have their own version of disappointment and perspective of their truth. I’m not picking a side, just listening and hope they can all heal through this.
Cam appears to be a Top Tier human being. This is the kind of friend I am and invite in my life. Everything he said was with love, adoration and respect. That’s a real man.
it seems that brandon falls out with everyone he comes in contact with. Reggie Wayne was a cohost of the podcast when it first started and they fell out. He fell out with Chad, Fred, and Channing. Hes fought several teammates and hes gotten into with almost every coach hes had. At some point he has to look at the man in the mirror.
Cam, don’t go too fast I’m this! Do it wisely, and slowly. Haste makes waste.
Business is separate with friendship. It’s separate from family, too!
Peace, love, success!

@@elizabethgodfrey1033I don't think he will.
And Brandon Marshall learns what it means to be a business owner and investor. You don't just give up ownership to your employees when you're the one taking on all the risk. If it fails, you're fucked. Everyone else got paid their rate and walk away with at least more than they came in with. This is what it takes for athletes to understand this.
I was thinking this throughout Brandon's testimony. If it wasn't in writing there's no obligation. Why hate on Brian when his dollars created the opportunity? They wouldn't get paid more than the contracts committed from anyone else. There's a price that's paid when you don't elect to become an investor or your partners contribution outsizes yours materially🤷🏾♀️ Talent has its value. It's never more than the investor/creator. Business 101
That was not the only solution or even the most viable. He should have totalled up the monthly expenses, then subtracted those from the podcast valuation,maintained the books,and cut them In the 25-25-25-25 he PROMISED them. A verbal offer is a binding offer in the eyes of the law. Dude is shady and the results are all those guys left
@@DavidPierre-zm5qqthe 25k was the investment he was asking each of them to contribute from the jump. Not one of them made the investment but they all got paid and their expenses covered.
@@DavidPierre-zm5qqGive them 25% of what? He's still in the red. And taking 25% of a company isn't just taking the revenue, it's taking the costs. So, they'd owe HIM.
Thank you they dont get like make it make sense
Cam’s patience in this interview is amazing. Great episode overall
All the respect in the world for cam for this episode and conversation 💯
Cam, if you really want your woman to feel loved and safe, put your name on her. Marry her! Stop playing house.
It’s sad Brandon is his own worst enemy because he is so damn talented and entertaining. He treats everyone as if they’re ignorant to business and financials. Shout out to Cam for being the voice to the ones that aren’t there to defend themselves. He’s a real one for that
How do you mean? How is he his worst’s enemy
Agreed, he acts like he’s above everything
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
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.
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
Yea right that man talking in circles . Tbh if you can keep up its very manipulative way of speaking he does
@@Jebo1xMusicFr bro
THIS!!!! These are the facts. And you’ll notice that EACH one of the other guys never addresses this. They didn’t see the vision until somebody else already payed the way. Then pulled the, what I bring to the table card. Well where was the money at the table to get us here? NO WHERE. And that’s the part that’s missing.
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. I think Brandon needed to get that off his chest and in return Cam still wasn’t 🧢ing for Brandon just because he was sitting there. Cam you’re the man for that!
Cam Newton is that young uncle that always have wise advice and I love him for that! Mr Newton you are truly a gem 💎❤
For someone who looks to build a brand just as big as IAA, this interview is probably the most valuable piece of content I’ve ever heard.. Cam salute to you and Marsh for your hard work brother & dedication to this industry
Great job Cam. Brandon messed up a good thing by not keeping the main thing, the main thing. He absolutely does bad business because you can't expand on something that's not financially strong. Homie trying to expand without building a solid foundation. Not to mention, you can't start with 25% 25% 25% 25%, and then say "forget that, I put up all the money so I want more". You knew that when you were putting in the startup capital. Either build the model based on you getting your money back first, then talk revenue share OR, take a higher percentage from the start. That's bad business.
Brandon thought he was Joe Budden and ruined IAA
Loved, Loved this episode. I've always admired B. Marshall and I was happy to see him be vunerable and open about everting with IAA!! Good Luck Brandon!! :)
I need that 4th & 1 and club Shay Shay collab
Wadd
Lol Shannon Sharpe been hating on Cam for the longest
Nope. Shay Shay is an idiot and he screams while talking.
Nah
Naaa, Shannon Sharpe getting a little played... He lost his juice... Ocho makes his midnight show.. !!!
Maybe I'm missing something. He said the watches and cars don't matter as long as his wife and kids are good. Then Why is he worried About what other pods are doing. His family ain't got nothing to worry about as long as they walk this earth.
Brandon stop it if u paying for everything then you recoup your money plus interest before splitting it 4 ways… just admit u ruined a good thing
This was a great episode!!! Much respect for Cam and how he handled it!!👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Cam Cam Cam I've watched many of your interviews but this by far was the best!!! The pace, the questions, the accountability!!! Perfect 🥰 great job!!
Brandon has been saying a lot of I in this interview about the breakup when it comes to the podcast and wonder why everyone left. It’s always just been about I for him.
I feel like all Brandon did name drop and money drop what he "did" for everybody!!! Cam did great talkin and being there to give direction from some of his comments!!
As a black man I need to hear more conversations like these between us. I love it man 🙏🏿✊🏿
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love us
@@Damari90eckhhh
Brandon issue is exactly what he said. He doing things behind close doors and not letting people who he work with know about what he doing.
CAM I am in awe at your patience during conversation to then have the “conversation “ of intelligence without ridicule and get to the meat and potatoes of it🙏🏾
This is a real friendship.
Active listening 👌🏾
If Brandon Marshall never comes to them in the first place.. will they even be podcasting right now
I watched IAA during the pandemic & truly enjoyed it. But then I start to notice a shift in the series. I was happy when Fred & Channing started the PIVOT!!
IAA was one of my favorite podcast. It's unfortunate that they couldn't work it out. I wish both podcast the best. But I must admit that I'm now a Pivot fan!
I remember Brandon Marshall was on first things first... It was UNWATCHABLE 😂😂😂
💯%
Agreed
Cam is so real with his emotions after the Super Bowl loss. I’m so glad he spoke this truth.
Loves cam honesty!!! Ryan Clark is not corny!!! From the way he speaks to the way he dresses...
I’m sorry , if Channing and Fred didn’t put up bread, I wouldn’t pay them 25% either, for the simple fact that if everything went to complete shit they wouldn’t take the hit with me
As soon as Fred and Chan left I stopped rocking with I am athlete. B Marsh is just too messy. Wish him all the best though and he is still killing it.
Same here but I am glad that B Marsh didn’t shit on them and salute to Cam
Exactly, I still have a problem with Brandon dealing behind the guys back. Sounds like he was about himself. Maybe I'm wrong....
I never stopped watched I like original
They were both very unschooled
I loved the way Cam challenged and held him accountable. B Marsh said (People,Process,Prouct) & Cam brought it back full circle with that!
This conversation made me proud to be a blk man! A lot of men be knowing both sides and instead of fueling the situation he’s trying to bring peace respect ✊🏾
The networks got it wrong about Fred and Channing because when they left I stopped watching I am athlete. Don’t get me wrong Brandon is cool but the cast they had was 1 of 1. They were able to pivot and go hard but I am athlete just isn’t the same
‼️‼️
☝🏽one more thing…. Brandon kept interrupting Cam. Like I said Cam did a really good job of maintaining control of the interview but, B was all over the place (ADHD style) He has a lot on his mind. Emotions wise. Anger and anxiety it’s all over him and he lashes out at people. Why else would you be on here taking shots at other grown men? Telling his son that’s “bitch behavior”? Dang! I was thinking this man has some stuff going on. CTE maybe?
