WEBVTT - Stop Asking My Staff About Me

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about some internet drama on Big Business today. Xander,

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to get your mic because you're going

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to be in on this.

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Am I in on this one today? Am I? Okay?

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Not that this is a podcast where we talk about

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>internet drama, because that's just not what we do here.

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>And actually it's none of my business what happens with

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>other influences in their life on social media, Like it's

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>got nothing to do with me. But I think anyone

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that has TikTok has obviously seen at the moment there's

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>videos being thrown around between Anna Paul and michaela Tester,

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 1>who are two creators online. I'm sure you've seen it

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>if you've got TikTok, And it's just got me thinking

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>in another way about online personalities and content creators. And

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we talk about that a lot here on the pod,

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>like you know, social media in general, and I've seen

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of videos being thrown around about you know,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>people are fake online. You know, I'm sure you've seen

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>it as well Asxander. Like the whole conversation is like

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>she's not who we thought she was, blah blah blah.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 2>There is a real movement right now of exposing these

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.199
<v Speaker 2>and I hate saying fake, but fake influencers like they're

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>putting on another persona and they're getting caught.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Out they are, And yeah, that's what I'm noticing too,

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Like just influencers being called left, called out, left, right

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and center about things that say online and contradicting themselves xyz.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And it just got me thinking more so about me

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and my positioning, and it just made me want to

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>talk about something which I've lightly mentioned before I feel

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>on the pod, before I get into that, I think

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>by this point we all know that the Internet is fake.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'm kind of shocked at everyone acting so surprised

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>with this whole situation, which again is none of my

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>business what's happening between these girls. I don't know them

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.279
<v Speaker 1>from a bar of soap, But why are people acting

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>surprised that people may act differently online to real life,

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>because surely we are all smart enough to know like

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>social media is fabricated, it is edited. Like I'll even

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>go as far as saying, like all of my videos

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>are strategically planned. We set the camera up and we

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>start talking, and we know what we're going to say,

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and then we edit it and then we post it online.

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>So of course social media in general isn't real life

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's not natural, like it's not natural in any sense.

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>But one thing that I experienced that I think people

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>would find interesting, or maybe someone listening has done this before,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>but one of the most interesting parts of my journey

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and how I was an influencer in youtubeer and all

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff, and then I, you know, slowly

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>over the years started fade, and then I became more of,

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess, a business owner and an entrepreneur than transitioning

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>into employing people. But how weird it is that I

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>still have this following online and people might see me

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>in a different way. And what shocks me is whilst

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>we're hearing all this conversation online now about influencers a

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>fake and Anna Paul's a liar and Xyz she's different

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to what she is in her videos, people do that

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 1>with my staff, not in a way where they're saying

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to my staff, Britney's fake. But it blows my mind

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>how often I speak to team members of Fate and

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>how often they are questioned about me as if though

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm some fucking alien online. And it's the weirdest thing

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for me to experience and maybe people don't think about

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>it when they do this, because I genuinely think people

0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>view people online as not normal people, like they put

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>influencers in a different box.

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I actually disagree with that a bit. I

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>think some people awes. Yeah, I think a lot of

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>people do view them as normal people. And that's why

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing such a crazy amount of people coming to

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>their defense, Like it's kind of a bit unhinged when

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>like things are exposed and then the things that have

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>been exposed are pretty fed up. Yeah, and the people

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 2>are writing and dying for these people. I'm like, Number one,

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>they're not your friends, that is true. Number two, you

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know them, No.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 3>One hundred.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Even even when you feel like you know someone online,

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>you don't. It's very interesting and the interesting part, which

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess just got me thinking about me and my

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>journey and going from influencer to business owner and people's

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>boss when I still have a following and other people

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>view me as an influencer, but my staff don't because

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>they're with me in real day to day life people

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say daily, but weekly. Especially in

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>our retail stores, they go in to shop, which we love,

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 1>we love people supporting fate and going in. But they'll

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>go up to my staff and be like, so do

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you know Brittany what she really like? And that, to

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>me is the weirdest thing that people would go and

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>ask a random person what their boss is like in

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>real life. Hmmm, Like you don't. You don't go and

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>do that at Cohle's. You don't go to Cohl's and say,

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>what's the manager he like in real life? But because

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I've got this online social media thing tied to me

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>from like having a following, it's just the weirdest fucking

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>thing ever.

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And it's a funny question to ask because immediately

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>my mind goes to that people want some as much

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:59.280
<v Speaker 2>as people support you or support other influences. I secretly,

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I think they secretly want want them to fail and

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>want tea. Yeah, Like they don't care if you fail

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>or if you're succeeding. They are just kind of a

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>loong for the ride a lot of people.

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>It's wild to me that people walk in my store

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and ask my staff what I'm like in real life,

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's the number one question they get asked. And

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they'll come to me and be like Oh, someone just

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>came and asked, like, what she It's not even oh,

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>it must be great to work at Faith, it's what

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>is she really like? They have the guts to go

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and ask that to the people that I employ and pay.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.239
<v Speaker 4>I know, as if they're going to tell them.

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I knows if.

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So let's say I'm a massive fucking bitch in

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>real life, as if my staff member is going to

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>go and spill that to some random and risk losing

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>their job for talking shit about me in my own workplace.

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But the thing is, and I've said this a billion times,

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I am completely different online to what I am like

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>at work because at work, I'm working at work.

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not an influencer.

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 1>At work, I'm not there to create funny content to

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>entertain my staff like I do the content creation online

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>because that's my job online. My job online is to

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>entertain people, make fun videos, give them something to laugh at.

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 2>You almost have to think of it as like and

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>people always use example of acting, it's not acting. It's

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>like say, for example, you're going to see someone host

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a show, and that persona they have on stage to

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>host the show to keep an audience engaged, to keep

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>them interested is different to what they're like once they're

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 2>off that stage exactly. It's not to say that they're

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>like an awful person when they're when they're not doing

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>this or performance.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, we're going to be different, but they're going to

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 4>be different.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>And like, my staff gets so thrown off when they

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>get asked these questions. And it's not just in our stores.

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like just say, one of our office employees will

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>be at a party on the weekend and it comes

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>up that they work at Fate. Like immediately it's like, oh,

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>what she like really, and they're always like, she's the

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>same person. But also, my staff don't see me as

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>an online influencer and creator.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm their boss. It's just fucking mind blowing to me.

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for people being curious, but it blows my

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>mind that people have the audacity to ask my staff

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>what I'm really like in real life, as if though

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>they're hoping that they're gonna say, oh, she's this, that

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>and the other. And you know what, there'd be some

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>people that have worked at Fate that probably wouldn't say

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>nice things about me, like, yeah, I'm not at Fate

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to create entertainment for my staff the same way that

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm online to create entertainment for the people that follow me.

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Have you had any instances of like inappropriate behavior of

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>like people coming into stores and wanting to like interact

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>with you or you know, approach your staff.

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd say sometimes, like I do get people like

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.319
<v Speaker 1>people will DM me just randomly and be like I'm

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>going into the store of.

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Yours tomorrow, like will you be there?

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, And I'm like, first of all, that's in

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Brisbane and it's Saturday, Like I'm not there right now.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Like maybe they're wanting to see me when they come

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in kind of thing.

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 3>But it's just I can't even put.

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Into words how interesting it is to have an online

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>following and I guess be popular online but then run

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a company and be people's boss. It's just two completely

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>separate things. But I'm in a position where they are

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>overlapping and the stuff that we deal with because of that,

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's very interesting. And I've had a few

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>run ins with past staff members from years ago where

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>like they've been upset at me because I think they

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>had different expectations coming to work at FATE. I think

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I said this age is ago, but years and years

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and years ago, I didn't invite someone that worked at

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Fate to my birthday party and she lost it at

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>me as if it was the weirdest thing ever, Like

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>this was when she was lea the workplace. Ye. And

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I've had one other person who we unfortunately had to

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>take off the roster send me like a really nasty

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>email saying like you're nothing like you are online xyz.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's just I keep saying the word interesting because

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I think just the lines become blurred.

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think.

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, God, I had I looked up to a

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of YouTubers back in the day, and like you

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>do you want to be their friend, But I think

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>that want to be their friend within that you're actually

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>losing that they're a real person, Like they only see

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 2>one side of it. So once they're around you or

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 2>once they're working with you, yeah, that illusion is broken.

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>And again like me having this big following online and

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>creating all these fun videos and people loving them, and

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>let's say they come into work at Fate. Let's so

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>they come into work at one of our retail stores,

0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and then let's say they're being late a lot and

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>they're doing something else that isn't the best if I've

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>then had to go to them and say, look, we

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>know that you're being late, and this is just like

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a verbal warning that you need to stop being late.

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Instantly, those feelings.

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>That they had about me from following me online are changed,

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and instantly it would be she's different. She's different to

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>social media. But that's because I'm not on social media

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>when I'm your boss and I'm going to call you

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>out if you've done something wrong in the business that

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you're working out that I own that I pay you for. Yeah,

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And I've had instances like that where people like you're

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing like.

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 3>You are online.

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Correct, I'm not an influencer as your boss. Like

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>i'm your boss, I've got to call you out when

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you've done something wrong. And I think this is just

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>something that I'll always have as part.

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:46.839
<v Speaker 3>Of my life.

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Is just the difficulty of having those two worlds crossover.

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 3>In real life. I'm a regular person.

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>The best thing that you do, and it's important for

0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>other people who are in the industry, is that yes,

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 2>you are different online, but you're being authentically you, and you're.

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Also not wanting to be someone online, and you're.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Also not lying and doing all these sneaky things, which

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>is where people are being.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 4>Called out and at the moment.

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's the biggest thing to note. It's that, yes,

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>you're a different persona online, but you're still authentically Britge.

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm still me, Like I'm not out here pretending

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 1>to be someone else on social media. And then I'm

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>different at work, but like, of course I'm going to

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>be different in a fun video than when I'm knees

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>deep in shit at work.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Making sure the orders come in exactly right.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Like it's just two different things.

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>And I guess just seeing all these videos popping up

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of weeks about influencers being fake

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>or not the same way that they are online, Like,

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>no one is exactly the same as they are online,

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>because online isn't real.

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 3>It is filmed. It's captured in a mindent.

0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 4>My Instagram's fake, yeh. People me and probably think I'm

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 4>an asshole, so someone else.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I was on TikTok Live the other day and someone said,

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>someone said that you're socially awkward in real life?

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Is this true?

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, again, probably, yeah, Like I have had

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>some of the weirdest fucking interactions with people, because when

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>people come up to like, I love people coming up

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and saying hello.

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 3>I'll say hello to anyone.

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes people come up and they're like hello, and

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>they don't know what to say, and then I feel

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 1>awkward because they're awkward, So of course I'm.

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Going to come across awkward sometimes.

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe sometimes I've run into someone at Aldi and

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe I've had a really fucking shit day and maybe

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>they've met me and I've been underwhelming for them because

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, hello and asked to meet you, and

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe I look like shit and felt.

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Like they're expecting Brittany who just reacted to her video

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.719
<v Speaker 2>from ten years ago. I've got Brittany who's just had

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 2>an awful day at Well Day with an order go

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>missing and then a staff member not show up.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 4>It could be whatever.

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm all FORUL being my authentic self online, which

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I am, And I know that influencers are getting called out,

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially a lot recently for like lying online,

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>which I'm not for at all. But I think it

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>is important for all of us to be aware of

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we all know that social media is fabricated.

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 1>We all know that people want to show their best

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>selves on the internet and get the most views and

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>get the most engagement. So it's just something to be

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>mindful of. Is like, Yeah, social media is fake. We

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>fucking know that.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know.

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I've just seen all this stuff popping up about these

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>two girls, which again is none of my business because

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know either of them at all. But it

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>just got me thinking about just those lines being blurred

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>between online and real life, and we just need to

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>be mindful of who we are following online and whose

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>content we are loving. And please stop going into stores

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and asking my staff what I'm really like in real life.

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Please. That's the weirdest fucking thing ever.

0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, this has been another bonus episode of Big Big Business.

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll be back next week for my mane
