We're gonna talk about different topics, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:15.760 kind of like you would when you go out for 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.680 brunch with your best friends and you have a million 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.640 things to talk about, but then you get in the 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.400 car and you're like, I never spoke about anything. I 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:23.800 didn't finish any of my stories. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.160 Or you get in the car after brunch and you 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.560 feel really anxious because you're like, did I offend that person? 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.400 Did I say too much? And then you go home 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:31.200 and do a nervoushit. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.200 Yeah, you yourself, and then you forget about everything and 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:33.919 everything's okay. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.519 Yeah, that's actually what happens every time I see my 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.720 best friends. I feel I don't know why I go, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.640 I feel like my cup is full. But then I 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.320 also go did I offend her? Did I say the 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.840 wrong thing? Did I just stop? Like just talk? You 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.799 know what, You don't offend me. You don't offend me either. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:52.680 It takes a lot. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:53.680 For you to offend me, And I don't think you've 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.680 ever friended me, A friend friended me? Yeah, and I 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:57.160 can't talk. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.920 Okay, I gotta say as well, this is why we 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.080 love each other because we neither of us can talk, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.480 neither of us can finish your sentence properly, and neither 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.480 of us know anything. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.760 We've always said, you're half a brain in my half 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:12.040 of brain. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.120 Complain each other, but both see we also come across 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.880 like that, and I think that's why we're endearing. And 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.120 people go, oh, yeah, I want to advertise with these girls. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.440 But we're actually quite smart when you think about it. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:26.320 We're jugalls. We're smart business women. Oh my god. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.280 But I have an excuse because I'm pregnant, so I 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:29.080 have baby brain. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.079 Yeah, but I have a parasite. So and every time 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.840 I do something, You're like, well, i've caught baby brain too. No, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.240 but this I don't know if you're like this. Lauren 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.280 and I have this weird thing. When one of us 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.560 goes through something, the other feels the physical trauma that 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.400 the other person is feeling. Have you felt kicking it? Yes, 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.640 but that's just the parasite trying to get out of me. Okay, 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.920 all right, we're today, Yes, today, you're got to keep 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.880 us on track and stay with us.

Let's go back to Okay. So 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.240 I'm seven years old than new So yeah, don't forget it. Yeah, 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.560 I know that I left UNI and I got into 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.840 radio by I was at essay casting and Ann Peters, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.800 who runs essay casting, was like scariest fuck, like the 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.640 scariest woman, but so good as well, because you really 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.640 want to impress her. And she called me one day 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.359 and she's like, Hayley, do you want to drive around 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.440 of those cars at safam and give out icy cold 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.559 can's cake. She's a packa day spoker. Now she wasn't. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.440 She was just scary And I was like, yes, I 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.240 would love to do that, And that was my inn. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.359 I started at Triple M back in the day, like 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.800 in when I was twenty one years old as a 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.000 freak on the street and we drove around giving away 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.760 icy cold cancer coke. And then one day I just 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.200 sliding doors. Moment I just got lucky. I was a 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.240 producer for the night show Sam Mack and Mel Greek 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.479 were doing the night show and and Melgreg was taken 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.000 off air because she said something about Selwyn the artist 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:11.520 Selwyn Selwyn. I don't know, I'm just picturing tim Omatic 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.120 and Selwyn. I don't know if they're the same person, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.760 but they're not. Anyway, she was taken off the radio 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.200 and for some silly reason. She was great. But Craig 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.040 Bruce was the boss at the time. You'd know him 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:25.039 from Game Changers. He said, Haley, you're in. You have 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.320 to do the night show with Sam Mac and I'm like, 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.760 I've never done radio before. Oh my god. But after 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.640 that show, I knew that I don't know if it's 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.839 a past live thing, but it was. I was meant 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.599 to be doing that. I felt more comfortable doing that 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.920 than any other job I've ever done in my life. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.520 And so from there I was working at say Fermund 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.200 Triple M. And then I was like, I need to 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.400 do my regional time, and you do. And this is 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:47.760 what was. 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.719 This was a thing like teaching, isn't it always have 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:51.760 to go out regional. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.960 Always go to Port Pierri do you time? Oh yeah, 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.440 I went to the Sunshine Coast.

I 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.680 met so many amazing people there and then I left 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.080 there to come home a full circle moment and do 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.440 what I thought at the time was my dream job 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.040 with SAFM Breakfast, which is. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.280 Where I met you, and I'm so glad you got 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.800 that gig and you went through a few radio partners. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:37.479 I run a lot, and to be fair, like I've 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.800 got on with all of my radio partners.

I'll do anything. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:17.760 Severely bullied in the word place you dare throw that anyway. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.160 So I had this long, luscious Italian bony tail and 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.080 Hailey Pearson cut it on air to like a bob 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.480 and then you sent me to some foul hairdresser from Westley. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.280 I didn't was real for the day. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.480 Oh yeah, yeah, you're talent. You left a five fast 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.840 night and then this poor hairdress I had to try 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.120 and cut my hair to look relatively normal because you. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.840 Just are you just so? Is this where we're revealing 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.360 that it's like a single white female. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.760 Yeah, I'm just coming you now. After ten years of 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.439 like trying to get back at you for. 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.320 Cutting my hair, can I tell you something that you 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:47.959 might not know? 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.160 Yeah, but wait, I'm only joking. That's what started the 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.080 radio career. Then I became your producer, and then we 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:54.920 became best friends. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.040 And it was a point where this is before we 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.840 were best friends, you would you were my producer at 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.920 the time home and I remember it was back at 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.720 the time where blogs had just started, and SAFM wanted 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.120 me to write a blog and I was like, I 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:08.960 study Journalism'm like, this is what I did, even though 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.960 I can't spell cat. I wrote something and you came 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.120 into me, and it was probably just lip service, but 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.920 you said to me, oh my god, you're a brilliant writer. 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.400 You're such a good writer. You're a brilliant writer. Those 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.760 two words, and in my head, I was like, oh 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.120 my god, maybe I am. And I believed that I 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.600 could write, and you gave me the confidence without even knowing, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.800 oh my god, I can write. And that's where I 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.040 started writing from then on and I haven't stopped. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.680 I don't think I would have done lip service because 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.440 I don't like to give compliments unless I mean it, 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.120 so I would have one hundred percent meant that. 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.959 But you're also single white female, so you might have 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.400 just been stuffing up and then can I come stiff 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:49.040 your hair later on? Okay, so here we are we're friends. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.360 At this stage, we are friends. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.480 We got through everything, we lived and breathed radio. We 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.720 were at that station more than we were doing anything. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.400 Else in our lives, and that's probably why we I 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.560 don't know when we're hiring people now, we look for 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.640 who we were at that stage, and I feel like 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.280 it's rare now that kids are like this. We work 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.880 for free, but we're not expecting you to work for 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:13.440 free anymore. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.280 By the way, I just wanted exposure. I used to 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.960 like finish Paneling, Hamishnandy. I'd Paddel Jane Jelly Radio into 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.240 one am. I'd sleep in my car. I'd get up 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.439 at four am from my car, put on a Triple 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.760 M shirt and drive out to an outside broadcast in 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.400 Elizabeth because I could never say no, Oh it's too much, 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.959 But also saying no that stays you can't You're not 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.000 to say yes. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.240 To everything about I used to do. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.400 A sports report on Triple M where I would have 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.800 to see it me and I used to call my 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.280 dad to go Dad, does this sound normal? 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.400 That stirt got up over Westi's and stuff? Do I 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.920 sound like I'm sporty? Before I read the bulletin? Because 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.880 when they said, do you like sports? I said, yes, 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.240 I just want to read it. And you were wearing 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.360 a netball bit at the time. 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.800 I looked like one today. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.959 Sharon Shan's just like. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.400 I could never say her last night, but I just 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.560 never wanted to say no. And I know you're the same, 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.440 and we've always said you're half of brain, my half brain, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:10.160 complete each other. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.959 But we've both always worked hard. And sadly, if you're 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.400 listening to this and you're like, I want to get 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.000 into radio, it's really sad because when we got in, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.840 there were mid dawns. We both did mid dawns. There 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.280 were like, literally you start your shift at ten ten pm. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.600 They were local shows. It's so hard now to get 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.959 in if you want to follow this as a career. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.080 Now obviously you can start your own podcast and have 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.319 zero listeners like we do right now. But I think 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.840 my mum might be listening. Yeah, I do tell me there. Okay, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.080 So at this point we're friends, but we're also going 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.319 through some shit. So why we're at that radio station 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.280 and I don't know. I always say I've got PTSD 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.440 from that radio station, and I don't know if it's 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.080 because of I'm not blaming the station because I went 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.960 through other stuff when I was there. I had two 0:12:55.000 --> 0:13:00.520 pregnancies and lost my brother. So a week after my 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.200 first son was born, Ryan died and six weeks after that, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.640 so eight weeks after that, I had to go back 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.080 to radio. So mentally, I probably was a little bit 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.720 screwed in the head anyway, trying to get through everything. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.520 And I think we were all in. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.600 This crazy world of radio land that the emotional stuff, 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.240 it's like we couldn't we were like robots. It's like 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.520 we couldn't be friends. We had to be like, come on, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:24.760 we got to do this, We've got to do that, 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.960 and we forgot the human element of someone's just lost 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.920 a sibling. Yeah, but in radio land, it's really weird 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.200 to even talk about your program to just you're on 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.600 the wheel, and if you don't continue on that wheel, 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.440 there's a million other people that want your jobs. 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.520 Yeah, and you can't. And I'm gonna say this too 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.600 as a woman in this industry, and I'm sure this 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.480 is across a lot of industries. You have worked your 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.760 whole life to be in this career, right, and then 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.520 you also really want to be a mum, and you 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.520 have a baby, but then you have this anxiety of like, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.160 I really want to stay home with this baby. I'm 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.480 so excited. I love this child. But at the same time, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.960 the longer I'm off, somebody else might be better than me, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.240 and then you second guess everything. You get anxious, and 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.080 then someone sweeps in and steals your job. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.480 Well, you can't take a year in media is like 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:13.400 ten years. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.760 You can never I had like nine weeks off Max, 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.880 and that was only because it was Christmas holidays. I know, yeah, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.200 but at that time I was going through that kind 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.840 of stuff. Also, we like that they were changing the 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.560 radio station. We lost our jobs. That happens in radio. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.600 You haven't done breakfast radio until you've been fired. That's fine. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:36.000 You were going through other things where physically you were 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:36.680 that stressed. 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.560 I was so stressed, Like I used to work eighty 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.960 two one hundred hours a week and that is not exaggerating, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:43.640 and I was so focused. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.160 Now you work like eighty minutes to one hundred hours 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:47.400 a year. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.600 You're lucky to get eighty minutes a week out of me. No, 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.800 I was. I was so stressed, and it was so funny. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.840 In my business life, which is kind of like you 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.880 and I now, I was so together, run a breakfast 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.200 show to the minute to the second, and then in 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.480 my personal life, like my car would get towed, it 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.000 would run out of poshol. I called my dad because 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.840 my power wasn't working with the night I moved into 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.280 my house. But I didn't know you had to like 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.440 call a power company. Yeah, to like lock in power. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.560 I just thought lights worked. You don't know about electricity 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.520 and how I did at twenty one, he goes through 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:20.960 your power company. I mustool as you go. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:22.680 Hashtag scotch. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.120 I didn't know anything outside, but my whole brain was 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.360 focused on work. So at that point, you've gone through 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.240 a lot. My hair was falling out. I literally said 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:34.800 to mom and dad, I wanted to have a small 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.760 car accident on the way to work so I could sleep. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.600 And that was the minute for me. I went shit, 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:41.320 I need out. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.240 That was burnout before burnout was invented. So yeah, at 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.560 this point i'd left the radio station, you'd completely burnt out. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.080 You went overseas on contigue tour, and I had a baby. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.920 Yeah, so we're both in very different stages of my life. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.400 This is where ad Lady was born. So Alfie, my 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.920 second child, was eight weeks old and Mark I had 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.840 just started. This is so gross saying this. I hate 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.400 that I did this, but I started. I needed an outlet. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.280 I knew that I was never going to be a 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.040 stay at home I'm not there's anything wrong with that, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.680 because that's amazing. But I knew for me and how 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.160 my brain works, I needed a creative outlet to make 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.480 me tick, to make me a better mum. So I 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:24.400 started a website, Haley Pierson dot com dot com. I 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.040 was like international, and I know I would write. I 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.800 would write articles or stories or blogs or personal things 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.360 and it did go well. Like I would be on 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.040 the back end monitoring how well it went. And then 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.240 when I was having coffee with you watermelon juice and 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:42.400 banana bread at Nature's Provodre, I said to you, I 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.720 want to do something. I want to do something, and 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.280 I didn't want to do it by myself. I knew 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:47.720 I could never do it by myself. I want to 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:48.600 do something with you. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.440 And we always had different skills, like so I always 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.840 had that producing brain and you always had the creative brain. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.280 But together, I knew something was going to work, but 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.960 I didn't know what it was at that point anything. 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.200 That you and I want to do. I have zero doubt, 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.159 like I'm not kidding, zero doubt that it will not work, 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.600 because that makes sense. Yeah, zero doubt it will work, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.000 that it will work. See, our brains don't work. I 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.080 got I got you. It was always going to work. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.880 So from that day on with Alfie sitting there, Oh, 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.280 it was my actual favorite time because there was no stress, 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.280 there was no money constraints. We weren't on a timeline. Yeah, 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.920 and we kind of put ourselves on a timeline, didn't we. Yeah. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.080 If you're going through this at the moment and you're like, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.160 I want to make my hobby a business, our biggest 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.040 advice is how we start is don't treat it like 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:36.520
