How is day to day home life with like what are you eating?
What are you watching?
Like is just like the private part of your day like?
I've watched almost,
I think I've seen everything I want to see on Netflix.
Did you see Ozark?
Oh yeah yeah yeah, Ozark is good.
Woo
That's a good one.
I look at, some of these projects,
I'm not understanding who picked this
like why is this on television?
(laughs)
I try to think through it
to try to find you know the nuances to
what was really good about the project,
what attracted them to it.
A lot of people are putting out shows early,
is there any chance they are gonna put out
Power Book 2 a little early?
Because of all of the operations.
(laughs)
It's a strong possibility.
(laughs)
It was supposed to come out June,
but I was hoping that maybe,
oh I don't know, May sounds good.
It do have to be arranged the dates,
because the original content for Starz
we were at like the end of episode eight,
so we got an eight episode season in the can.
Well we were gonna go ten,
but you know the virus stopped that.
Congratulations on For Life too
because that got such great reviews and so well deserved.
Very moving.
Yeah, that project is great
the timing is great on that, you know,
I'm starting,
I can identify now,
I'm hot, I'm getting hot now
(laughs)
I'm starting to identify with the right material.
This book was so relevant for me,
Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter,
is your latest,
and it's such a personal, beautiful,
honest conversation with people.
Can you explain to people
how it's not your normal self help book?
Yeah, like a regular self help book
is like trying to teach you,
I'm using my actual experiences,
things that I would do to put into that actual format.
I think that they'll get a lot out of it,
they'll see something,
familiar comparisons or metaphors that they've seen at
different points in those kind of publications.
But, they'll you know,
I think it's good,
I would describe the whole project.
I reserve the rights to not even put it out
if it didn't come out, you know,
where I was comfortable.
It's so honest, what was the process like for you
writing it, because it is so honest.
You talk about what you're still afraid of in life.
You talk a lot about family
and the good and the bad of that word and what it means.
You talk about so much,
not just hustle and work ethic,
but this is very personal.
Yeah Rachael, I spent so much time,
they spent so much time interacting
with the public in an entertainment format that they see,
they don't see the vulnerability,
they just see the 50 Cent presentation.
And then when I got a chance to pull back on it,
just being able to write it down,
to get it into the actual book,
it's easier than presenting it to the public
like yourself going
To be, show people Curtis
Yeah
What you do in that quieter format,
and I think that's something that we've learned,
it felt so weird the first day we opened our home
cause this was my safe place,
like the place I didn't work three shows a day.
Right
And it's so different to work from this space.
But now I find it's kind of a beautiful experience too,
how do you find it?
You work on so much, so many shows.
It changes
Yeah
It changes like
I put a recording studio in here right before,
so it allowed me to write music
and work on other projects at the same time.
It's been an adjustment cause I move so often,
Yeah
Like I'm touring or I'm moving
to different hotels and different things,
I'm always in a different place,
and then a lot of times
it's different projects running at the same times.
And this is also what allows you,
me to look at well even my experience.
It's been therapeutic to watch other people,
and learn things about their characteristics and how,
like when you're working on a character
you want to build a background that you understand
why their temperament is the way it is.
Then you look at yourself and you say,
well maybe this is why I am the way I am in this journey,
you know what I'm saying.
And then it allowed me to kind of
put those things down in this actual book.
A different way than I hadn't had that prospective prior to.
