Show Notes

"If you don’t define your family’s identity, someone else will."

In this episode, I talk directly to men—fathers, husbands, future leaders—and challenge you to do something most never even think about: write your family creed.

I reflect on how, growing up, 50 Cent shaped my idea of Blackness more than my own family name. Not because my parents failed—but because they never sat down and codified our identity like brands, media, and celebrities do.

In this episode, I share:

This episode is a wake-up call.
You are the brand. Your family is the legacy. Build it with intention—or watch the world shape it for you.

If this episode sparked something in you, take the first step:

Sit down and write your family creed this week.
Use ChatGPT or reach out to me directly—I’ll send you my own as a template to get started.
Share this with another man who needs to take back control of his legacy.

And if you’re new here or returning—hit that follow or subscribe button so you never miss another episode of The 1% Man.

We build men. We build families. We build legacies.

Let’s rise.

[00:00:00] Hey, what's up, y'? All? It's Bertrand. And one of. One of the things I really want to tell you to do, especially as men, is I think you should. You should. I don't think. I know. You should take time, sit back, and create what I call, like, your family creed or family document, right? And create a manifesto for your family. Create a logo for your family. Create an identity about your family, right? What do you stand for? Who are you? Who are you? When someone says, like, hey, I'm in the gampa, what does that mean, right? What does your logo look like? [00:00:29] Because these things is what's going to shape somebody's identity and belief in themselves, right? A lot of times what happens, and I've seen, growing up, is that I used to value 50 Cent, right? 50 Cent was like the epitome of being black to me, because I went to predominantly white school, and 50 Cent to me was like, man, if I could be like, 50, then, man, I. I would really hone that black identity, right? So I would sag my pants. [00:00:53] I would, you know, change my talk or I changed my walk to match him and as much. And there's no ding on him, right? My parents did a great job raising me, and they even told me, like, you don't need to do that. You know, you're perfect the way you are. But I believe that if we would have sat down and said, hey, you know what? As an agampa, this is what. This is what I expect of you. This is what your identity should look like. This is what your beliefs should look like, right? This is what we value, right? Because a lot of times, that's what the TV's doing. That's what these celebrities are doing, right? That's what all these companies doing. They're marketing to us. Whether you're black, white, or whatever you're marking. Justin tells us, hey, this is what we believe as. As men you should do. [00:01:29] We believe as women you should. You should buy our products. That way you could be sexy, so that way you could be loved, you can be admired, adored, whatever it is, right? So at the end of day, what I'm saying to men is sit down and really build the identity of your family. Because if you don't, some somebody else will, right? You don't want somebody else to do that, because you can give them evidence. You want to give them, right? Sit down, write that whole document out, and use AI to even help you. I'm telling you. And if you need help, let me know. I can send you mine as a template that you can use to build your own. All right. [00:02:00] Peace.
