guess on the show today, I got two guests. First I thought

they just had one gas. Then

1:35

Thank you so much for having us?

1:36

1:40

I'm doing really well.

1:41

Good good Dwayne?

1:42

What's see? I can see see Dwayne? I don't know what

1:44

energy gonna play off because you got that that

1:46

that that's this low key uh

1:48

you know voice, and I got the cheerleader

1:51

over here in Holly. So I

1:54

so I'm gonna balance a little bit with I got.

1:56

I'm gonna deal with Teddy Pendergrass. I'm gonna deal with the

1:58

cheerleader. Okay, we I'm gonna deal with both of y'all.

2:00

Good.

2:01

Well, first of all, I wanted to start. Holly's been on the show

2:03

before. I'm a big fan. She's a anybody

2:05

else know how background. She's a nurse, a

2:07

graduate of LSU University. She's

2:11

a breast cancer survivor. I

2:13

met her at a Black Men's Walk

2:16

Health Wellness Day walk in Houston,

2:18

Texas, where I was the ambassador. That's

2:20

how we met and we bonded because we're

2:22

trying to change people's lives. And that's why I have both

2:25

individuals on the show today to talk

2:27

about that. You know, how do you come up out making

2:29

these significant changes? Why is there

2:31

such an invested interest. I'm gonna start with you,

2:33

Holly, why is there an invested interest? And get

2:35

people a little background on where you at as

2:38

far as your survival care

2:40

when it came to breast cancer.

2:43

Yes, for sure, thank you for that

2:45

introduction. Roe Seawan. Yes, yes

2:47

we go way back now we

2:49

play cousins forever. But I

2:53

am in Houston, Texas, and yes,

2:55

I do have a master's in nursing. And although

2:58

that's one thing that I do, just like you, my

3:00

goal is to be the change and live the

3:02

change. So after my

3:05

battle with breast cancer and I went

3:07

through surgery, I went

3:09

through recovery and then I sort

3:11

of just found my purpose, which is I

3:14

wanted to take my story and instead

3:16

of burying it and not talking about it

3:18

anymore. I wanted to use it

3:20

as a story of survivorship

3:23

and motivate people, inspire people,

3:26

and just show people that cancer is

3:28

not the end of the world. So I'm

3:30

connected a few years ago with

3:32

Dwayne and he's a prostate cancer. He'll

3:34

tell you all of his story as well. But for

3:37

me, I just I just don't

3:39

want my story of survivorship

3:41

just to be lost on breast cancer. I

3:43

always say that I am a life survivor,

3:46

not just the cancer survivor, because

3:48

everyone has something that they

3:51

have overcome that they thought

3:53

was going to kill them. So that's

3:55

my story about breast cancer. And

3:57

then, of course, you know, I wrote my first book Strong

3:59

More Than Us, which talks about that. And

4:01

then here we are today and I'm obviously

4:04

I'm doing the right thing because I'm aligning with positive

4:06

people like you, So I'm on the

4:08

right path.

4:09

Well, I'm gonna tell everybody, you know, the money

4:11

Making Conversations master class, what do we do it?

4:13

To the medical show?

4:13

Now?

4:14

What is the medical show?

4:14

Now?

4:15

What's going on here? Well, and just tell y'all

4:17

something.

4:18

In twenty fifteen, I was diagnosed

4:20

with thyroid cancer, and

4:23

I too, will not dismiss

4:26

it. I will not bury it because so many

4:28

people h

4:31

when I tell people have a cancer, they kind of look at me, go, you

4:33

got cancer, because they have a stereotype

4:35

of what people have cancer should look like, of

4:38

what they should be or what they should be doing. You

4:40

know, you know, you know where I'm

4:42

walking around with my you know, Taylor's shirts,

4:44

tailor clothes.

4:45

I'm looking good, Dwayne. You know what I'm saying.

4:47

You ain't gonna you ain't gonna find a bad day in

4:49

ra Sean McDonald's life. Okay, It's

4:52

not like I'm trying. It's just my life. And

4:54

so so I tell people like I wear

4:56

a bracelet on my wrist, you know, and

4:59

I've been wearing it and gave it to a friend of mine who

5:01

died from cancer, you know, And

5:04

because I don't when people always asks a nice

5:06

bracelet, and it immediately gives me an entry

5:08

point to tell them why I have it on my

5:10

wrist, and I tell them I don't care if it's a television

5:12

interview, I won't tell them a panel

5:14

they asked, I'm gonna stop and tell you why

5:16

this is because I am a thyroid cancer

5:19

survivor, and I say that because

5:21

it can come back. There's no guarantees.

5:24

But I'm ready because I wasn't ready when

5:27

they first told me, Dwayne, when they told

5:29

me I had cancer, Dwaine, I swear to you, I

5:32

went deaf.

5:33

I think I lost my eyesight, I

5:35

lost a lot of things.

5:36

Because would you say the

5:38

word cancer somebody, It just changes

5:41

your life.

5:41

Now tell us your story, sir, well,

5:44

I was diagnosed fifteen years ago.

5:46

I was one of those guys who never was thought

5:48

about having cancer. But I

5:51

was having some major issues going on in my life,

5:53

and so I went in and got a check up and

5:55

I said, well, give me that PSA test. You

5:57

know, I heard that I need to get it. I was forty six

6:00

years old, and so they gave me the test, and

6:02

then a couple of days later they called me and I saw five

6:04

calls from the same number right away,

6:06

and they told me, you need to get over to Indianerson right

6:08

away. So I go over to M d Anderson and.

6:11

This is a Houston, Texas, one

6:14

of the top cancer in

6:16

the.

6:16

World, if not the top.

6:18

And doctor Lewis Pisters, who

6:21

was the eurologist who

6:23

would have done surgery on me, he walked into the room

6:25

with the results of my biopsy and he said,

6:28

well, Dwayne, all sixteen of

6:30

your samples came back

6:32

positive. And he said, I can't cure

6:34

you, and nobody Ndianison can't

6:37

cure you. And I was like, you know, I

6:39

was like, you said, Shanna. I was like whoa.

6:41

And he said, but you know, Dwayne, there

6:43

is good news. And I began

6:46

to think, what could that possibly. This

6:49

was Lewis Pisters who

6:52

said he wouldn't do surgery and nobody could

6:54

cure me. He said, he's the brother of the current

6:56

CEO of Peter Pensions. But he said,

6:59

he said, God is still in the healing business,

7:01

and if you don't mind, I would like to pray for you. So

7:03

this on college, this neurologists got down

7:06

his knees in his office at Indy Anderson

7:08

and he told me and essentially let

7:10

me know that God was my only real hope.

7:13

And I took and I took that to heart. But

7:15

I knew that it was going to be a battle. So for

7:17

fourteen years I fought Stage four. From

7:19

the very beginning, I went, so.

7:21

Let's slow this down, Dwaane, because you've told this story

7:23

a lot. I was like, because it's so

7:25

incredible, because a

7:27

doctor, one of the top doctors in the world.

7:30

That's right, his last stage of cure

7:32

was prayer. That's where you was

7:34

at, right, that's where you were.

7:36

At exactly where, exactly exactly

7:38

it. And I say his name just in

7:40

case anybody thinks I'm Inmbelliship. I

7:43

say his name just because I know

7:45

that's his character. He

7:48

gave it over to God. And

7:51

you know.

7:53

It's the wisdom of that moment which

7:55

gave you something to hold on too. Because I'm gonna tell yall

7:57

something. When you

8:00

are told that you have cancer,

8:02

and Holly can confess to this, I

8:06

don't care see to see see they gave

8:09

him the door death

8:11

is knocking on the door speech. Okay,

8:14

they told me. We called it just

8:16

in time. But it didn't matter. Because

8:18

I heard cancer. I thought

8:21

about my family. I thought

8:23

about what I was, what I had done in

8:25

my life. I thought about what

8:27

I'm gonna do tomorrow. I thought about

8:30

everything in

8:32

a matter of seconds and

8:35

a matter of seconds, and

8:37

I would tell you this, I would, and our our this

8:39

is the blessing that came out of my situation,

8:42

Holly and Dwayne, is that

8:45

if I was to die. I

8:47

was all right because

8:50

I had in my life. I felt

8:52

I've given back as much as I've received.

8:55

I felt I've changed people's lives.

8:57

I felt I had left my family where they would

9:00

have been and are today comfortable. I

9:02

felt that moving ahead, I was not

9:05

going to be sad. I was going to plan

9:07

the brighter future. So I say

9:09

that to everybody who's listening, don't

9:11

ever wait to that moment to

9:13

make changes in your life, because you can do

9:15

it right now. I had just been doing it

9:18

all my life, and that moment made

9:20

me realize to live

9:22

a better life, continue to

9:24

do what you do, just do more of it. And that's why

9:26

y'all on this call today because I want to

9:28

do more of it. Okay, this is part of

9:30

that. More of it, Holly, that's part of this. More

9:32

of it, Dwayne talking about what you guys, the

9:34

idea. So I know I'm preaching a little

9:36

bit, but when.

9:37

You know, people

9:45

think of cancer as a death sentence,

9:47

and when you're around once you get diagnosed,

9:50

you are around people that are

9:52

survivors of cancer or they're fighting

9:55

with fighting cancer, and you

9:57

realize how prelevant it is.

10:00

You're just like, Wow, everybody

10:02

has a cancer story now, like you're just

10:04

you're just you didn't realize everybody

10:07

was attached to cancer, and now all of a sudden,

10:09

everyone has a cancer either they're a patient,

10:11

somebody and their family had it. So you start realizing,

10:14

like we all got a cancer

10:16

story. Now.

10:17

Yes, you know interesting thing, Dwayne was that

10:19

in eighteen ninety and I shared it with a previous

10:22

interview. I was at my lung collapsed

10:24

and then you know tho it was anumro thorax, which

10:26

is usually happens as Michael Jackson

10:28

his lung collapse. Number of athletes they lunched, and

10:31

so I stayed in the hotfield thirty days.

10:34

When you stay in the hospital thirty consecutive

10:36

days, you see death. You

10:39

make friends with somebody down the hallway, and

10:42

you come back they're not there at all.

10:44

Okay, they're gone.

10:46

See death is so unnerving,

10:49

and guess what and when when when you

10:51

realize that person's gone, there's nobody

10:53

to tell their story. There's nobody to tell their story.

10:56

And so when Holly came to

10:58

me about what you guys wanted to do it the HBCU

11:00

game. That's telling the story, that's

11:03

establishing a legacy and putting the mouthpiece

11:05

on it and your journey of being

11:08

diagnosed my friends stage

11:10

four or fifteen years ago and

11:13

today you're still able to tell this story.

11:16

Congratulations, you have established a foundation.

11:18

Tell us about your foundation.

11:20

Well, I wanted to have a foundation. I

11:23

spent a lot of time talking to various brothers

11:25

that I'm repeating myself over and over again

11:28

about you know, the sexual

11:30

side effects, the emotionals of fatigue,

11:33

the clinical trials that are available, trying

11:35

to convince brothers that Tuski was

11:37

not a clinical trial but a criminal conspiracy,

11:39

and that we now have people who are in our families

11:42

that are running the clinical trials. Just the educational

11:44

portune, just trying to educate brothers, trying

11:46

to be advocates, because I know that without the advocates

11:49

that have been in my life, I probably wouldn't still

11:51

be around because they're the ones who forced you to

11:54

keep going. So I wanted to have a foundation that

11:56

was really rubber hits the road man

11:58

where we take raw. If you go to my website

12:01

is raw. I talk about everything that people

12:03

probably think that brother wouldn't talk about publicly

12:06

because we've got to desensitize brothers and

12:08

convinced brothers to start speaking. So I

12:10

wanted to do a foundation, one that

12:12

would highlight prostate cancer and

12:15

get men to start talking again, because

12:17

it's it's it's,

12:20

it's it changes the

12:23

balance of economic power. When a man

12:25

dies man that whole family. In

12:27

many cases, stuff is a tremendous financial

12:29

losses. So and you got the emotional laws, the financial

12:32

laws, and you've got so many different issues, the

12:35

marriages that are broken up. I wanted to do a foundation

12:37

that address relationships, that address health,

12:39

and address finances, that address

12:42

you know, sexual uh you

12:44

know, you know, virility and things like that.

12:46

So I just wanted to be able to do something that was really

12:49

out of the box and get men to start talking again. And

12:51

we felt the way to do that was to hit

12:53

it through sports.

12:54

Okay, when we come back, we're going to find out

12:56

how you got connected with Holly Cotton,

12:59

you know, miss Y Eyes a buddy. Okay, I'd

13:01

say that in a very complimentary matter, but

13:03

as we go, you know, we're talking

13:05

about prostate exams. A very good friend

13:08

of mine, Earthquake. He has

13:10

a Netflix special app if

13:12

you want to get a good laugh out of it, of

13:14

going in for you sorry, right of

13:17

going in for a prostate exam and

13:19

get a big laugh out of it. That is one

13:21

of the funniest routines you ever

13:23

want to see.

13:24

And it is a mussy.

13:26

It's on Netflix, and it's.

13:30

If Dave Chapelle produced it, and it's called

13:32

Netflix the Legend Again.

13:34

We'd be right back with more Holly and Dwayne fantastic.

13:37

I'm glad you guys are taking time to come on money Making Conversations

13:39

Master Class.

13:40

Please don't go anywhere. We'll

13:42

be right back with more money Making Conversations

13:45

Masterclass. Welcome

13:52

back to the Money Making Conversations Masterclass

13:55

hosted by Rashaan McDonald. Money

Making Conversations Masterclass continue

14:08

I'm speaking of Dwayne Charleston

14:11

and Holly Cordon. This is a show

14:13

where a breast cancer survivor, a

14:15

prostate cancer survivor, and

14:18

a thyroid cancer survivor got

14:20

together in one of the promoter a football

14:22

game that's happening in Prevy and hum tell

14:25

us about it, Hollycotton.

14:28

So I'm so excited.

14:30

We it's the countdown. We got

14:32

one week left. Dwayne and I've been planning

14:35

this for two months. So Dwayne

14:38

reached out to me as a breast

14:40

cancer survivor, and every

14:42

time it comes around to be October,

14:45

everything is go pink, Go pink, Go

14:47

pink. And so what he wanted

14:49

to do was emulate the go pink

14:52

and have teams adopt

14:54

the gold blue the same thing. And so

14:57

I come in and I explain to people

15:00

at whenever you're looking at

15:02

the pink for Pink out games,

15:04

what it does is it raises awareness.

15:07

It causes women to say, hmmm, is

15:09

it time for me to get a mammogram. I've never had

15:11

one before, or maybe I had one,

15:13

let me follow up. A lot of people don't

15:16

know how to get a mammogram. So

15:18

whenever they're at the games and they're getting

15:20

all this information and they're seeing the pink, it

15:22

causes them to follow up with their primary

15:24

care physician or seek out the resources.

15:27

Sometimes they'll have the van in the front where

15:30

you can go and you can get a Floordy mammogram

15:32

on site, or they have local the

15:36

things like we're doing the local RVs

15:39

and hospitals and stuff. They set

15:41

up all of these things for all of these

15:44

breast cancer awareness sits and testing.

15:47

So what Dwayne and I decided is

15:49

that we wanted to make sure that men

15:52

who were telling their women, Hey, have you

15:54

got check, have you got your mammogram? Have you

15:56

went in? Have you you know? Are you okay? Is

15:58

everything good? Are you following up? We

16:00

want those men to also be worried

16:03

about their own health and

16:05

have resources. And we know that men have

16:07

a lot of the same questions. So I

16:09

come in and I explain that, you know,

16:12

we're not deflecting any of

16:15

the attention that breast cancer gets.

16:18

We want women to continue to

16:20

get aware, continue to go get

16:22

tested, but we just want to share

16:25

some of that and have another program

16:27

with the Blue so that men can

16:29

say, oh, wait, what when do

16:31

I need to get tested? Wait, I have a risk for this.

16:34

I thought you had to be old to have this, or I thought

16:36

you had to get tested a certain way. I didn't know that

16:38

there were different options to find out if

16:40

I have cancer. So that's

16:43

why I'm here as a breast cancer

16:45

survivor to come in.

17:04

17:05

Now August thirty first will be on

17:07

the campus of Previer and m Correct now

17:09

you said, Dwayne and the starters call you in

17:11

17:22

of my best friends, Frand Fontineau.

17:25

Uh, he'll be at the game. Boy, that's your

17:27

boy.

17:27

I already told him that. He said he gonna

17:29

be at the game. So I'm just I'm just talking to rally

17:32

the troops. This episode of this interview

17:35

will air on our Houston affiliate k

17:37

Tears You down there in Houston, Texas. It will

17:40

air because I want to help get.

17:41

The word out.

17:41

It will air nationally to everybody.

17:44

Uh, so you can tell your friends and relatives

17:46

who in the Texas area, in the Houston

17:48

area about this game August thirty. First,

17:51

who's playing in the game, Dwayne? Come on now, who's

17:54

playing?

17:55

Perve you in Texas Southern. It's a Labor

17:58

Day Classic, and I think it's like the four sixth

18:00

year. And the interesting thing is that the guy

18:02

who founded the Labor Day Classic was

18:04

an athletic director named Brutus Jackson,

18:07

who also lost his life to pros state cancer.

18:09

He founded it forty six years ago, and his

18:11

son is gonna be there with us uh

18:14

as well. So I just thought that was a great irony

18:16

and a beautiful opportunity to pay.

18:19

So y'all got the Labor Day Classic, the

18:21

Labor Day classy up

18:23

there in prayer View. Okay, now, see,

18:26

I said, I'm gonna tell everybody. I'm born and

18:28

raised in Houston, Texas. So I know about Texas

18:30

Outh, I know about text Us, I know by

18:32

Prayer View. Used to go down there for parties at the Baby

18:34

Dome.

18:36

Dwayne might have bumped into your brother, might have

18:38

18:41

out with y'all.

18:51

Oh he's a right there. I tell you, I

18:53

knocked him out the way. I knocked him out the.

18:55

Way because the qu'es are aggressive. Queues are aggressive.

18:57

You what I'm saying, we aggressive.

18:59

Because he goes you

19:02

know, you know what I'm

19:04

saying. What I'm saying, I want to keep everything

19:07

upbeat.

19:07

I want to keep everything upbeat because of

19:09

the fact that we are experiencing

19:12

something that that that really if

19:14

we want to share that story with our this is not

19:16

the whole. That's just a part of our story. It's a part

19:18

of our lives. But on August

19:21

thirty first on the campus of prayer View

19:23

and m Labor Day Classic. That

19:25

is a Saturday, everyone, it'd

19:27

be Texas Southern University, and you know the band's

19:30

coming. The band is coming,

19:33

okay, and then Prevy here and then

19:35

you know you you did you go to preview?

19:37

You went to preview.

19:38

I worked on my master's Are okay cool?

19:41

Texas?

19:41

I never I knew texasun had a band? Did

19:44

prayer View have a band? I never heard they had a band.

19:46

I knew they had a losing record for a long time.

19:48

But do they have a band, the

19:50

Storm. Oh oh see you see the storm, the.

19:54

Storm, see right there, see right there,

19:56

Ain't nobody heard of that. Ain't nobody ever

19:58

heard of the storm? See right

20:00

there. I was born and raids in Houston, Texas. Never

20:02

heard of the storm.

20:03

Okay, I know. They did a little HBCU

20:06

show down now talking trying to

20:08

build up, hype up the little band and everything.

20:10

See this is how you get everybody rallied up for the

20:12

game.

20:13

They have the Battle of Bands on the on the twenty

20:16

fourth of August NRG

20:18

and just trust me, just they

20:21

got Southern Sam you Jackman,

20:23

State Texas, Southern and four of you happen

20:25

to be on the field at the same time. And everybody's

20:28

going to see we're coming from a little small town. But

20:31

trust me, man, it's even close.

20:33

Z doing see doing alpha alpha

20:35

alpha, even black and gold, Black

20:37

and gold. Trying to get hyped up. You're trying to get hyped

20:39

up, you know about this. But

20:41

August thirty first, the Blue

20:43

Out. And that's what I love about the Blue

20:46

Out because it may start on the campus

20:48

of an HBCU. The concept of blue

20:51

Why can't we have the New York Yankees wearing blue.

20:53

Why can't have the Houston Nationals, the Atlanta Braves,

20:56

Why can't we have them wearing blue this month?

20:58

Because it's baseball.

21:00

That's the goal, right Bigger Absolutely,

21:02

Dusty Baker, you know he had prostate

21:04

cancer. It's so many brothers that had

21:07

it. But the main thing is that of

21:10

all the disparities in cancer, you know, we

21:12

got disparities in all kinds of medicine,

21:15

but of all the cancers that there are, the greatest

21:17

disparity there is of black

21:20

men versus all other men is in prostate

21:22

cancer, where one out of six of us will

21:25

be diagnosed with it, one out

21:27

of six. When thirty two

21:29

thousand men will die this year loans

21:32

of prostate cancer, and a good

21:34

number of those will be African American men. We

21:37

it is the greatest disparity. So it only makes sense

21:39

to start at the HBCU. But yeah,

21:41

we should take it to the NFL.

21:42

But then we're we're gonna take about it. We are going to should

21:45

it. We're gonna do it these preseason games.

21:47

You know, they can wear under preciate they they're not playing

21:50

real football, you know what I'm saying. They might well

21:52

do some of these games and have a purpose.

21:54

I know you know absolutely.

21:55

That's the thing is that no one wants

21:58

to be the first, but they'll be the same I can.

22:01

I'm gonna tell you something that we want to show.

22:03

I'm telling them, Holly Cotton, cheerleader,

22:06

cheerleader, I got contacts. You

22:08

came to the right person here, Sean McDon I.

22:11

Know, I know who knows. You know what I'm

22:13

saying. It's time that came out. I know who know. See

22:15

that's what you know. I know people because I can't tell your name

22:17

because I know somebody else that know somebody.

22:18

Else here's told me. He said,

22:21

Man, this brother is a brand maker.

22:23

He's talking face.

22:26

Here's fade. He's talking about you all

22:28

the time.

22:29

Well, I appreciate this, my little brother, and

22:31

uh because I deliver man, and I will be there

22:33

August thirty first a Texas Southern

22:36

versus Previer and them. You know, to be a

22:38

band versus another band. One band,

22:40

you'll know the other band trying to come up. Okay,

22:42

that's to come up band. It's previous. Make

22:47

sure you're right beside your home, all

22:50

right, stand stomp, don't make me nervous.

22:51

Stomping were

22:55

missing.

22:55

The most important part though, the

22:58

thing that we're doing with the awareareness

23:00

is that we are having free testing

23:03

every every weekend in

23:05

September. So that's what elevates

23:08

what we're also trying to do because now

23:10

that we raise awareness, everybody's

23:13

like, okay, so now what do I do with this information?

23:15

Now? I know I need to get tested? So we

23:18

already went up another level. Dwayne

23:21

has collaborated with numerous health

23:23

systems we have we have all

23:25

these days every weekend in September

23:27

where you can't get it free prostate

23:30

testing, free.

23:32

Blood and Omega

23:35

and Omegas five starting it off with the NFL

23:38

go in the HEIGHT. They're going to be the

23:40

first one to sponsor it with this on

23:42

September the eighth for the

23:44

I.

23:45

Didn't want to say that, Dwayne.

23:46

I just wanted to add for to say, you

23:48

know that the Omega sci Fi leads and blood

23:50

donations. Just go ask the American Red Cass

23:53

number one leaders in blood donation may

23:55

of Omega sci Fi.

23:56

That's all good. That's absolute

23:58

facts.

23:58
