The phrase he/she is actually using is, "it would behoove you...".
And the definition of "behoove" is "to be necessary, proper, or advantageous".

I think he might be saying it would "behoove" you. In other words, it would be in your best interests to do that.

Are you sure it is "Be Who of You" because behoove would make more sense in that sentence? Does he has a drawl when he speaks?
be·hoove
