Are you Dolemite?

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you live everyday from Grants Pass, Oregon.

Today we’re going to discuss the Netflix movie, Dolemite Is My Name. Now if you haven’t seen this movie, I’d go and watch it. I’m not gonna ruin anything so we can talk a little bit about it right now without me giving anything away.

But I’m going to hopefully entice you to go and watch it.

Now this is not for everybody.

If you are sensitive to language, bad language, vulgar language and language with heavy, not just innuendo but downright sexual language and everything else, then this isn’t the right movie for you.

But if you could look past that and look at the meaning, the psychology behind the movie, the psychology of how this character stands out, then I think you’ll really appreciate what I’m about to say.

So this is a movie, it’s got Eddie Murphy in the lead role.

It’s got a whole bunch of other great comedians that are throughout the movie. It takes place in the 1970s.

It is an actual story of a person’s real life, which I wasn’t aware of when I first started the movie.

This is a retelling of the person’s life from a certain point in time.

So this guy was kind of washed up at a point and was always looking to break into the entertainment industry, either as a singer or a comedian or something. And so he was trying to break into standup comedy, which was at that point was just resurging and really coming into its own in the mid seventies.

He was always having a tough time creating the right character that would ignite the audience.

He just could not communicate properly with the audience has himself. What he finds is he takes a character that is talked about in limericks by a few homeless people.

Actually this character called Dolomite that they use over and over again in these overwhelming these dirty limericks. He starts recording them and these little sayings that they have and everything else and he develops a character out of thin air, almost a public domain character if you can.

He adapts it as himself and he dresses kind of in that 1970s pimp look and gets up on stage as this character and starts talking in rhyme before rap music has even come out.

He is considered that, which I wasn’t even aware of this guy who came up with this Dolomite character is considered to be one of the fathers or grandfathers of rap, modern day rap music.

It all started from him taking someone else’s idea that book steal like an artist, which I’ve discussed before. It’s worth looking into because you could see people do this all throughout time.

He took someone else’s idea, made it his own and through that could do something he couldn’t do just on his own. He needed that inspiration in order to propel him forward.

If you think about it, I was just watching a documentary about Walt Disney and Walt Disney did the same thing.

If you look at all his books, famous characters, all his most famous movies, they were something written by somebody else. His artists put their own spin on it. The writers put their own spin on it and re put it out there in a way that neither side could have done on their own.

None of us think of Snow White in the other than the way that Walt Disney presented it to us.

It became bigger than it was just as a Grimms fairy tale and he did this over and over and over and over again.

It’s taking a whole bunch of different talents, a whole bunch of different ideas and concepts and melding them together to create something new.

You can do this if you’re looking to stand out in your business.

You’re saying, Brian, what’s this have to do with business?

I’m telling you, in any form of marketing that you’re doing, in any form of communicating with your customers or potential customers or previous customers, if you’re communicating with them, you’ve got to get creative and to be creative.

You’ve got to pull from all different sources and there’s lessons throughout that movie and the movie’s name is Dolomite Is My Name, is the name of the movie.

Go and check it out on Netflix. If you have a Netflix subscription, if not, find a friend that does and go and check it out on there.

So it’s a made for TV movie, but it’s a, it’s a great movie unto itself because it shows somebody with a can do attitude that just no matter what finds a way to break out into the next realm and the next realm and the next realm.

And he did this his entire life.

Dolomite Is My Name, with Eddie Murphy.

Fabulous acting fabulous acting from Wesley Snipes and all the other people in that movie.

It’s a very well done movie.

Like I said, not for kids, but check it out. But find a way to be like Dolomite. Find a way to stand out because this guy did something that you haven’t seen another comedian do even since that time.

He took that character and took it into movies and did all these other things that you may not even be aware of, but he influenced so many other people and had so much success onto itself on a cult status.

You can do the same thing in your business.

You can create a character. If you’re not a character, you can put creativity out into the world.

Even if you’re selling glass windows, I don’t know, I’m just making this up is that something is as plain and simple and dull as you can imagine. You can wrap something around it that will attract people.
