1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about AJ in this bonus episode. I did 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: a little Q and A on my Instagram stories earlier 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: this week, and I love doing those. I always forget 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: to do them, and I did one and it was 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: so fun. I got like a lot of unhinged questions, 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: some confessions, and also a lot of business and fate questions. 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: And I thought this one, which I answered on my story, 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: would be good for me to actually dive into a 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: little bit deeper on a bonus episode on the pod. 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: And the question is would you have built fate to 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: the level it is without AJ? And I think this 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: is such a good question because I've never really thought 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: about it. And someone else replied to my response and 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, this is such a rude 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: question to ask. But I don't think the person asking 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: it would have been asking it from a place of like, 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: you couldn't do anything if it wasn't for AJ. But 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: it is actually a really good question, would you have 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: built fate to the level it is without AJ? So 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: I guess for me to answer this question, I need 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: to dive back to the beginning of I guess how 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: AJ ended up being in fate? And if you don't 23 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: know already. It was never part of my plan. So 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: Aj and I have been together for as long as 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: Fate has existed. When he and I started talking, Fate 26 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: was like about to launch, and so he has truly 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: been there since the beginning. And if you don't know, 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: AJ was an electrician for like fifteen years. He'd done 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: it all. He'd obviously done his apprenticeship back in the 30 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: day and like left high school really early, and he 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: was an electrician. He'd worked like up in far North Queensland. 32 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: I believe he'd worked in the mines, like and then 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: he was working in his dad's family electrical business when 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: him and I met, and like I was doing my 35 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: influencing full time, was about to launch Fate, and we 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: started chatting and Aj was like my new boyfriend. I 37 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: don't even know if we were official, Like maybe we were, 38 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: but he came to my launch party of Fate, which 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: was at the Sydney Ivy Penthouse, and yeah, I think 40 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: we were official. He came to the event and the 41 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: event was like my friends and my family. My one 42 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: employee that I had who had come on board to 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: work casually with me to help like me with all 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: my content because this is when I was like doing 45 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: brand deals all the time and all seven eleven videos 46 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. And then we had 47 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: like a few of my influencer and creative friends, like 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: all right, hey was there, and this was over eight 49 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: years ago, and AJ came to this launch event and 50 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: we did a big countdown of when Fate was launching 51 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: and back then, like I had no idea. I always 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: say this on the pod because I can't stress it enough. 53 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: I had no idea what I was doing, Like I 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: didn't know what Fate was going to turn into. Like 55 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: I knew what I was doing in the moment, like 56 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm launching a clothing brand, but I had tried many 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: other businesses before Fate. But the difference with this one 58 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: was like I had this big YouTube audience and Instagram audience, 59 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: but I didn't know that it was going to turn 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: into what it is today. And Aj was an electrician 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: and that was that. But you know, every afternoon AJ 62 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: would finish work at like two or three and he 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: would come home and it was just like his automatic thing. 64 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: That so we must have been official. Okay, I'm just 65 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: putting the timeline together because he was living at my house, 66 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: but he was one of those guys that moved in 67 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: pretty quickly because he was living with his parents when 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: I met him, and I had my own place, so 69 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: pretty quickly, he just like kept coming over to my 70 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: house and bringing his work clothes, and before I knew it, 71 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: he was literally living there, like as soon as we 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: blood he met. And it's so awkward because I don't 73 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: know how to ask him to leave, but naturally he 74 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: would home because he'd finished a bit earlier, and he 75 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: would just help. He would help me and my one 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: employee that I had at the time, you know, packing 77 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: orders and going down to the post office and the 78 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: PO box because I was doing everything from home and 79 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: we had like a PO box down at Katara in Newcastle. 80 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: I was just living near there, so it was just 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: down the road. And since the get go, he was 82 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: helping me set up things like like I remember setting 83 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: up like the Australia Post account and him helping with 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: the whole back end part of that. And then pretty 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: quickly we moved out of that shed and that's when 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: I got the first commercial lease. And again, like AJ 87 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: was not working with us. He would just finish work 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: and then come from wherever he'd finished at work and 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: he'd come over to that little warehouse and be helping, 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: or we'd even work nights back then, just like AJ 91 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: and I because I don't know, I didn't have much 92 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: of a schedule. But it was at that second warehouse 93 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: that I hired my second employee and third and I 94 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: just had like a few casuals and AJ just always helped. 95 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: And then we moved out out of that warehouse into 96 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: the location that would then become our first Fate store. 97 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: So it was like a store and then an office 98 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: upstairs and a little warehouse on the side, and so 99 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: we moved in there and set ourselves up, and AJ 100 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: was kind of helping with all that as well, like 101 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: building the store and setting it all up, and he 102 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: was just naturally helping. But he was still working five 103 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: days a week with his dad and his brothers, and 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: over time he went part time with his dad and 105 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: started working on Fridays with us, like a full day 106 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: in the warehouse because he really took a liking to 107 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: it and like organizing it. And it was a tiny 108 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: little warehouse that we had. And then he went two 109 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: days a week with us, and then three and I 110 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: remember thinking back then like this was never part of 111 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: my plan, but it's just because he'd been helping us, 112 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: like you know, and loved doing so, Like he was 113 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: just so helpful and handy every afternoon that him coming 114 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: on board just one day a week on Fridays like 115 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: felt like the right step. And I remember people saying 116 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: to me back then, like I don't know if you 117 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: should do that, and I did have those thoughts, but 118 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, I guess I was just like whatever, like 119 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm just going with this, and thankfully it worked out, 120 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and you know, fast forward all the way till now. 121 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how many years ago, it was maybe 122 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: five years ago. AJ came on board full time, like 123 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: he quit working with his family. I remember him going 124 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: to his mum and dad being like, so, I think 125 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to go full time with Fate and they 126 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, go for it. They were really supportive, 127 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: and the rest is history, Like we haven't looked back, 128 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: and he has played a huge part in, you know, 129 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: building up Fate to what it is today. If it 130 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: wasn't for him to answer a question, I think I 131 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: definitely still would have worked all this stuff out, like 132 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: had Aj and I not met, But I was saying 133 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: on my stories, I think it would have been a 134 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: lot slower. And the reason for that is because, you know, 135 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: AJ has worked out the set up side of our warehouse, 136 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: like our rack and just forklifts and all this kind 137 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: of stuff, which I obviously would have worked out myself. 138 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: But I think had I not had AJ with his 139 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: knowledge and hands on ways, maybe I would have you know, 140 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: delayed doing those things because I maybe would have thought 141 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: that it was too hard basket, or if I had 142 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: to like source a company externally to come and set 143 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: up all that logistical side of a bigger warehouse, like 144 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: when we moved, you know, into our first big warehouse. 145 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: AJ did all that. But I think maybe if it 146 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: was just me and i'd like not found AJ, that 147 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: maybe I wouldn't have scaled the business to the size 148 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: that it is because it might have scared me, or 149 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have known how to do it, or it 150 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: would have cost me one hundred grand to get someone 151 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: to do something like that, you know. So I definitely 152 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: think I could have got there without AJ, but maybe 153 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: it just would have looked a lot different. There's also 154 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: so many things that AJ's done over the years, just 155 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: like building stuff and putting things together and light fixtures 156 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: and putting together all our furniture. Like, there's just so 157 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: many little things that he's done, which seem like small 158 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: little tasks, but I think it's gotten us, you know, 159 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: twenty steps ahead, just with getting shit done. So to 160 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: answer the question, do I think that like fate would 161 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: have had its success without Aj? Yes? But do I 162 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: think that we would be at the size that we 163 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: are at now? No? I don't think I would have 164 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: gotten to where I am as quickly as I have, 165 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: even though it has been an a year journey. I 166 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: think I would still be like twenty steps back. And 167 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: another reason for that is like, not only because I 168 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't have known how to do it and I'd have 169 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: to pay someone else to do it, but also I 170 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: think AJ has been my sounding board for everything that 171 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: we've ever done. I've always got a million ideas and 172 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: a million things that I want to do. But AJ's 173 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: that person that's laying next to me in bed every 174 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: night when or like I get out the shower and 175 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: I go, I've got an idea. We're opening a store 176 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: in Marianda in Sydney. Like he was that first person 177 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: to hear of me wanting to open a store down 178 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: in Sydney, and he's the one that's always like said, yep, 179 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: let's do it. Like he's been that voice of encouragement 180 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: for every single decision that I've made, and I also 181 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: have been thinking, like ever since this person asked me 182 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: this question. You know, had I not had someone like 183 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: AJ to like encourage me to go ahead with the 184 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: things that I think of, then maybe as well, I 185 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: would wouldn't have done those things. Maybe I wouldn't have 186 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: opened all the stores because I didn't have someone there 187 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: backing me to be like, yeah, we should give this 188 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: a go, loo, let's go for it. Had I been single, 189 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: or you know, met someone else eight years ago that 190 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: just had nothing to do with my business, then maybe 191 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have had you know, as much drive to 192 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: like think of my ideas and actually go forward with them, 193 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: because like, I've got a billion ideas. But it's definitely 194 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: the encouragement and support of AJ that has made me 195 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: feel even more confident actually pursuing those things. And it's 196 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: not to say that AJ is one hundred percent responsible 197 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: for every decision that I've made. That's always me, but 198 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: I definitely think, like reflecting and thinking about this question. 199 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: It's made me think, holy shit, Like I think AJ 200 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: has had a lot more to do with like how 201 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: far we've come just on his support alone and having 202 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: him so involved in everything and just running my ideas 203 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: by him and having him go, yep, let's look into 204 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: it tomorrow and let's do it kind of thing. So 205 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: I feel like I really do owe a lot to 206 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: him in terms of fate. And now, obviously he does 207 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: all of our books. He works with our accountant and 208 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: does a lot of work for our and our accountant 209 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: always says like, oh my god, AJ is so on 210 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: top of things. So you know, if AJ wasn't around, 211 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: if we'd never met, I'd have to have someone else 212 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: do in the books. And what would that look like. 213 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: It's really open my eyes being asked this question. But 214 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: to put it in a nutshell, I definitely think we 215 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: could have had the success that we've had without Aj. 216 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: I just think it would look a lot different and 217 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: we probably just wouldn't be at the stage that we 218 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: are at either. So I owe a lot to AJ, 219 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: and he plays such a big part in fate. I 220 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: know that we're always joking around on social media, like 221 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: we take the piece out of aj and say that 222 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: he's thinks he's the marketing manager, which is obviously just 223 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: a big joke for socials, but he actually does a 224 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: lot and has been responsible for a lot of everything 225 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: that we've done at fate. I don't know if you'll 226 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: listen to this, but yeah, he's played a huge part 227 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: in it and it definitely just it wouldn't be the 228 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: same if we hadn't done this journey together. Was this 229 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: ever part of my plan? No, Like when we met, 230 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: I was just like a single gal and thought he 231 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: was cute and funny. He was just a trady. He 232 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: had no idea who I was when we met, and 233 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: that was really nice at the time because that's when 234 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: I was like in my peak influencer era and I 235 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: never in a million years thought that, you know, once 236 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: I'd launched my business, that he would be working in 237 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: it and running it with me at any point. But 238 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: I guess it was just fate at the end of 239 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: the day.
