If anyone gets to see this 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: part of our body that Mike, I lost my glasses, 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: so I was laughing my head off this morning printing 33 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: twenty four to se. So anyway I can read without 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 4: glasses while I'm talking to which is pretty amazing. And 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 4: so I know I'm going to throw this out. It's 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 4: like you're going to shoot a rocket over to you. 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 4: Zero to hero with self belief tell us about that one. 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure that you have both experienced this as well. 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: I feel like at some point in our lives we 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: reach rock bottom. But rock bottom is actually where you 41 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: want to be, because then you can go sky high. 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: So my journey began when I was in my early 43 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: twenties and really no one believed in me. I mean, 44 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: I was a terrible student at school. I was definitely 45 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: the talker, the disruptor, the one that was always sent 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: outside dio. What I recognized was it was actually my superpower. 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: I love that you snort because I. 48 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: Sna you too. So sorry. Some people think we're doing 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: something else work, we're laughing, we're laughing. 50 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: We're definitely laughing. And so self belief struck me at 51 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: a really young age because I reckoned that when no 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: one else was going to believe in my pathway, that 53 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: I had the choice that I could believe in myself. 54 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: And so what I decided to do after falling in 55 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: love with, you know, storytelling, a meetia and entertainment, when 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: I backed myself and went across to the UK and 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: got to work with some pretty amazing entertainment companies like MTV, Columbia, TriStar, 58 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: George Lucas Films, and I was like bigger names, big names. 59 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: It was like the Spice Girls. I got to watch 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: them as they were coming out, you know, and Howard Stern, 61 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: who was the biggest shock jock you probably remember in America, Yes, 62 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: the cusp of I was on the cusp bit of it. Yeah, 63 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: And you know, obviously reading rapidly all the magazines and 64 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm in the studios with these incredible challenge and I 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: come back to Australia and I recognized that it's not 66 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: really happening and I need to work out how I 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: can actually build a business that sets my heart on fire. 68 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: So I went around and I started coffee dating because 69 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: I had absolutely no money in the bank. 70 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 4: Was that your I did coffee dating or well? 71 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: My dad always said to me everyone loves a long 72 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: lunch in Australia, and of course they do overseas as well, 73 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: and in those days that's how you basically did business. 74 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: But I didn't have the money to take people to 75 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: lunch and drink you know, bottles of Ballinger as you 76 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: see on ab fab. So it was like, find a 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: really good coffee shot where you're going to be seen, 78 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: you're going to be heard, ask people for coffee, and 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: really build a sense of community and a business purpose 80 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: around that. So I did, and I started committing to 81 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: three coffee dates a week and I was, yeah, really good, 82 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: it's a connection. It is out of connection. So it 83 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: was one with someone I knew, one with someone I 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: wanted to partner with, and one with someone completely outside 85 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: of my comfort zone. 86 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 4: Oh, every week you listening to it, let's just can 87 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 4: we just repeat that one that was someone possibly with 88 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: that you can partner with. 89 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the second one is someone you want to partner, we. 90 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: Partner with us in relationship, well business. 91 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: Business relationship like partnership. 92 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 4: And then and the friendship was the first. 93 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: One tribe community, so someone in. And then the third 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: one is someone completely outside your comfort zone. That was 95 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: the intention, but that's the framework that actually launched my business, because. 96 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: When framework isn't it my second. 97 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Business as well? And I truly believe like a lot 98 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: of rejection came from those coffee dates. I don't want 99 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: to just say it was all glossy, because the idea was, 100 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, I want to start a brand communications agency. 101 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: I want to attract the world's top performing brands, celebrities 102 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: and influencers. And of course there are a whole lot 103 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: of chuckles and snorting as well. And I remember, in particular, 104 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: this guy that I'd been dating many years before I 105 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: went and I took him for a coffe date because 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: he worked in advertising, was bills in Crown Street, Surry Hills, 107 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: and he literally was like, Tory, I don't think this 108 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: is a very good idea. You need to go off, 109 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: get married, have a white pick of fence, just like 110 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: in your picture over there, and join a few clubs 111 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: and a man's going to really look after you and 112 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a really fabulous life. And I remember 113 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: walking out of there going well, fuck you. Yeah, I 114 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: am the leader of my own destiny. I just said 115 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: to myself, I know that I'm here for a high 116 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: purpose and I know that I can make a difference, 117 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: and so I did. And no one in Australia, once 118 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: I decided that I wanted to launch Torstar, would give 119 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: me a go great name too, Yeah, Torstar. Yeah. So 120 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: that came from, you know, me calling up a colleague 121 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: and an advertising agency and I said, I've actually quit 122 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: my job and I'm starting this business. I don't know 123 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: what to call it, and he goes, well, we always 124 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: called you Tori's a little star, so why do you 125 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: call it toll Star. So that's where the name came from. 126 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: And I just asked you there, where did you get 127 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: your confidence at the age of twenty four to do this? 128 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: Was it with your dad backing behind you? Was it 129 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: from already life experience for traveling and you had. 130 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 4: That behind you self? 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: Belated Yeah, because you know, I'm guessing you hadn't hit 132 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: rock bottom at that stage, but you had that confidence, 133 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: so a lot of kids don't so necessari people that 134 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: kids between twenties. Yes, So where did you think that 135 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: came from? 136 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: And it just came from the fact that I knew 137 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: that I could create something. And just because someone says no, 138 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you have to say no. You 139 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: can say yes. So I just started saying yes. Some 140 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: the doors of opportunities started opening up. But I want 141 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: to say, when I turned forty four, I decided that 142 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: I was going to create powerful Steps and I did 143 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: go and see quite a few people and I did 144 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: the same coffee date and Larry edmore, if you're listening 145 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: to this, you told me not to start powerful steps 146 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: as well, Larry, I said, I'm not sure that that's 147 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: a really good idea. It was like it was the 148 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: same process that I went through. But again, I could 149 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: have chosen to believe those people that this business would 150 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: not create an impact, but the opposite happened because I 151 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: backed myself again. So I really feel that if you 152 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: really believe in something, you're passionate about it, and you 153 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: step into it, with you know, some really strong values 154 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: that are anchored to all of your decision making. You 155 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: can attract whatever it is that you put out there 156 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: into the universe and you can actually have that impact. 157 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: So in answer to your question, I think rejection is 158 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: really important because rejection actually allows you to believe in 159 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the possibilities yourself of what you can create. 160 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: But how many times when you were rejected you'd you go, 161 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 4: maybe they're right, because it's only human nature at times 162 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 4: to say or feel yeah, or think, of. 163 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: Course, do you know what? If I counted, we'd be 164 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: here all day. So I really think that you've just 165 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: got to push that aside and go what is it 166 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: that I want. I don't have any competition, None of 167 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: us have any competition. It's about staying in your own 168 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: lane and owning what you want to do and just 169 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: going for it. 170 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: And that is clear vision, clevision, and passion. 171 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: Clear intent, and also anchor everything to your value. So 172 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: throughout my my entire career has been based on three 173 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: so passion, creating and building brands, and now creating and 174 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: building powerful brands for women. Yes, integrity because I don't 175 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: like assholes, who does, honestly? And the third one is delivery. 176 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: You'r own these God, is this podcast child? Or paying 177 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: for you knowledge to someone else? And so through passion, 178 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: integrity delivery, what you do is you get a golden 179 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: thread of decision making. So if people want to reject that, 180 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: that's okay. But maybe they're not anchored to that value set. 181 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: Maybe they're not meant to be on that right of 182 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: life with you. Maybe you're not meant to take them 183 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: on your journey. So what happens is the higher you 184 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 1: vibrate and the so what that means. Yeah, So the 185 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: higher you vibrate, it's like, Okay, you can walk into 186 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: any room anyway, anywhere in the world, and you can 187 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: get someone say yes to you because you're magnetizing and 188 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: you're in your complete power, because you believe in what 189 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: you're doing. You're anchor to your truth. You work with integrity, 190 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: and you know the importance of paying for your wisdom. 191 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 4: And I think that was us for the podcast, really, 192 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: wasn't it. 193 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: Oh? 194 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely? You know we're always straight away with let's do 195 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: a podcast. You know what do you think Gyanta's gone 196 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: straight back bang with the list this big and it 197 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: just happened because we just new straight away do what 198 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: you love, love what you do. 199 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's the moss. 200 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: It really is that for us. So even when we start, 201 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: so if we can help one person, yeahhoochieved God alone 202 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: ourselves because we enjoyed Jay's company and we did from 203 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 2: our very first podcast. It was just and so then 204 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,359 Speaker 2: it's just like we're on the path. 205 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: Of absolutely and I just believe. And it's funny. I 206 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 4: couldn't help but think about years ago when I was 207 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: in New York and I had Wendy, my sister, Wendy 208 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 4: Heather was a designer at her range over my arm 209 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: and I'm running around New York and no, no, no, 210 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: you can't come in. And I walked in to Sexith 211 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 4: Avenue and I went, Hi, I have an appointment. I 212 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 4: didn't have an appointment. And they said who with? And 213 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: someone had told me a name and I said with 214 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 4: some and so I said, but I'm running late, rang 215 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 4: straight through, went up there and they said who are you? 216 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: I said, walked in. There was five people and I said, 217 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 4: I'm from Australia. I've got a range. You've got to said. 218 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 4: I was hanging up. Where they're all going, who's this woman? 219 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 4: They ended up buying the stuff. They couldn't believe my 220 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 4: how bolshie I was and go ozzy ossie whatever. But 221 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 4: I was determined this was great and it was going 222 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: to work. But it's funny, it's like it's a mindset, 223 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: isn't it a mindset? 224 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: And it's getting out of your own way. And also 225 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: you saw an opportunity and you thought, no one's opening 226 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: a door, so I'm going to open it myself. 227 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 2: That's exactly that's true, very powerful. And also I guess 228 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: too if someone may think shut that door or said no, 229 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: you would have found another door. 230 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 231 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: What tips would you say for people to build that 232 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: resilience because still is not everyone has that thing of going. 233 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 2: You can get knocked back and they can really take 234 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: it personally, And even though, what sort of tips would 235 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: you say for people to sort of like really get 236 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 2: that resilience so you don't sort of like really take 237 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: it too badly and they fall in a heap. 238 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: No, No, it's a great question. So you know, when 239 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: I had Torsa, we were attracting all of these incredible brands, 240 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: but quite often there would be brands that we wouldn't attract, 241 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: and I'd send to myself for why. But then I 242 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: had to switch my thinking to that door's not meant 243 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: for me, that doors meant for someone else, and I 244 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: wish them every success and something bigger and better is 245 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: going to land in my lap. Bing go ye as that. 246 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: So if you switch your mindset and second bit of 247 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: advice in and it does revolve around marinading and shit, 248 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: which I'm sure that lots of people will actually really 249 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: it is a bit of a come to Jesus moment. 250 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: But when I was having me it literally is when 251 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: I was having my transformation, I was like, get out 252 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: of your own way, toy. I sat with this Buddhist 253 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: monk in Thailand and he said to me, you got 254 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: three choices. You've got a really big challenge at the moment. 255 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of people going through divorces 256 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: or separations on your podcast will relate to this like 257 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: that's stuck. I was stuck in the biggest pile of 258 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: shit ever and I could not maneuver my way out 259 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: of it. And he said to me, You've got three choices. 260 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: You're at the halfway back of your life. You can 261 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: either marinate in this challenge and this situation for another 262 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: forty five years in which you're going to be living 263 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: life sniffing shit. And I was like, oh, and is 264 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: that in this pristine office, in this you know, in 265 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: this close they're like, oh my god, you're talking about 266 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: marinating shit. Second thing is he said, you can look 267 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: at the challenge and you can be in it for 268 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: forty five minutes. You can kind of struggle, you can 269 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: make a few mistakes. It's okay within those forty five minutes. 270 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: But you're going to sniff the ship not as badly 271 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: as forty five years because you're not getting out of 272 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: your own way. And he goes, you will be in 273 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: your complete power when you don't even sniff the ship 274 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: and that challenge comes your way and within forty five 275 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: seconds you've made up your mind. Doesn't matter if it's 276 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: right or wrong, but you're on your path. 277 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 4: Well that's a lot. There's something else you was saying, Sorry, 278 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 4: we're back to shit. I mean you're saying that there's 279 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 4: a pile of shit. If there's a pile of shit 280 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 4: over there, it's your choice whether some problems are like 281 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: a pile of shit was it's your choice whether you 282 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: choose to step in that or not. And I know 283 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 4: that's back to shit. But it really made a lot 284 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: of sense to me, Like we all have proble. 285 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: You've got the three options, but it's the same as 286 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: like doors are opening, so you've got to make your 287 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: mind up in forty five seconds. What door are you 288 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: going to want through? Are you going to say yes? 289 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Are you going to say no? 290 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 2: And sometimes is it as simple as that, you know, 291 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: like just with the mind shift there. So I think 292 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: it's good for just listeners to hear that that sometimes 293 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: it really is just that mind shift of going flick 294 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,359 Speaker 2: you know there, stay. 295 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 4: There because everyone complicates it and you got to lose, 296 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: but try and go there. 297 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: That's exactly right, That is exactly you've got to try no. 298 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: So yeah, I'll try again tomorrow exactly. 299 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: And that's the beauty of it because he said to me, 300 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: if you make a mistake in your mind, right, yeah, 301 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: if you make a mistake in your mind, don't beat 302 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: yourself up about it. Just give yourself forty five years, 303 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: forty five minutes, or forty five seconds. And also, mistakes 304 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: are good. We all make them. We make them every day. 305 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: The lessons in life, aren't they, No, So we have 306 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: to be people appreciate honesty to you truth. That's a 307 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: really positive way of saying I love that positive way 308 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: of rejection too, is that it actually wasn't meant for 309 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: me or maybe not this timing now, and wish them 310 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: the best as well. I think that's a good thing. 311 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: You've got to pay for with gratitude, because gratitude breeds gratitude, 312 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: happiness breeds happiness. But also when you're in flow and 313 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: you don't look at what other people haven't say I 314 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: want that, but you're actually in flow because you know 315 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: that something better is coming your way. That's actually the 316 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: ultimate way to live life. 317 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 4: When you say flow, what does flows be? 318 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: In complete alignment? So you know you hear about Matthew 319 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: mcconachey in The green Light Process. Yeah, it's such a 320 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: great book. He's the only one that I've ever asked 321 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: for an autograph and he rejected me. No, but you 322 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: know what we've got, she's so beautiful. That was not 323 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: a green light. 324 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: And that's funny talking about alignment and what I don't 325 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 4: know what that means. What's alignment alignment means? 326 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. So when I was running 327 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: my agency, I pulled back because for personal reasons. I 328 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: just want to spend more time with my family and 329 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to get out of that forty five years, right, 330 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: So I was really focusing on what was my flow, 331 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: what was my way forward. But what happened during that 332 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: process was I allowed other people to run my business 333 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: in which I wasn't as involved, right, so I'm not 334 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: out there, no one really knows what I'm doing. So 335 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: we were launching Kate Spade into Australia and my team 336 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: were like, Tory, you got to get up early. I 337 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: know you don't like getting up early, but you need 338 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: to come along and meet all these people. It's really 339 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: important for the business. So up, I get put MSCA 340 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: on fur coat going and I learned that this company 341 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: that also licenses Kate Spade licenses a whole lot of 342 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: other brands that were on my manifestation board, right, but 343 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: they have no idea who I am. So they said 344 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: to me, who are you? And I said, I'm Tory 345 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: and this is my agency. And they're like, oh, we 346 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: don't know anything about you. Tell us about your company. 347 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: And so I literally had less than sixty seconds to 348 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: make an impact because guess what, they were launching Victoria's 349 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: secret in this market. Six weeks later, so I said 350 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: to them, m'd be very interest I staid in pitching 351 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: for that business. And they said to me, no, guess what, 352 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: there are three other agencies. We're down to the wire. 353 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: And I said, look, why don't I descend through my credentials. 354 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: Let's just see what happens. I've got nothing to lose. 355 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: Maybe you can gain something. And she said, okay, no problem. 356 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: So I explained to them that I launched Zara into Australia. 357 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: I explained to them what I've done with other Australian 358 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: businesses and taking them launches. 359 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: Just throw exactly, that's massive, that is how well is 360 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: a good one? 361 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: Ah in my early thirties. Yeah, so as a single mama. 362 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: But it was teamwork. It was teamwork with Interdex, which 363 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: is actually the number one retail brand in the world now. 364 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: So I just I mean, I reminded them with those credentials. 365 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: I went back to the office and I said, we're irrelevant. 366 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how this has happened, but we need 367 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: to go back and find our power. So we use 368 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: the case studies of like, you know, twenty two thousand 369 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: people in the day of launch for Czara a million 370 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: dollars in sales, and then we gave other examples and 371 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: about four or five hours later I sent it off. 372 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: So it was early evening. They're in New York, and 373 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: I just said to myself, whatever's meant to be will be. 374 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: And this is where the green lights come into process, 375 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: right because they're like, no way, three agencies are shortlisted. 376 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: You can send it through, but whatever, You're one of 377 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: two agencies. At eleven o'clock that night and I was like, 378 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we are in. But guess what. These 379 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: people probably have been speaking and building a relationship for many, 380 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: many weeks and months before me. So we got onto 381 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: Instagram and I did flashbacks to all of my hero things. 382 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: So we've been at the time looking after Sea Folly, 383 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: we Shigi Ha did and you know, Miranda coernel these things. 384 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: So flashback to when we did this campaign, flashback to 385 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: when we did Sarah don't dn't dun't. So then I 386 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: got on LinkedIn. I thought, who do I know that 387 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: can give this girl in New York a coffee? Because 388 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: an Espresso is my client. So I thought, I'm gonna 389 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: lie myself up in the morning. I'm gonna have an espresso, 390 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: She's gonna have a Starbucks? What does she drink? And 391 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,239 Speaker 1: who's going to put it on her desk before she 392 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: gets on zoom with me. That's how I won the business. 393 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: But this is the really interesting thing about the Green Lights. 394 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: While I got Victoria's secret and I got to go 395 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: to the last show in New York, I then got 396 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: a call from Steve Madden's office. We've been looking for 397 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: an agency in Australia. How come we don't know about you? Again, 398 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm irrelevant because I wasn't putting myself out there. Put 399 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: yourself out there. So they said, okay, no pitch nothing. 400 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: You're launching Steve Mudden into Australia. So I was like, okay, 401 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: second one. This all happened within weeks. And then, because 402 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: of my coffee dating every time I went to the States, 403 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: I always for my partnership coffee date met with an 404 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: agency out there that I thought had the best influences, 405 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: the best connections, and I said, I look after Australian brands. 406 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: How can we connection and work together? So out of 407 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: the blue, I get an email from an agency in 408 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: La Toy. My friend's launching a beauty brand in Australia 409 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: would you be interested in launching it? And I was 410 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: just like yes, no problem. Didn't ask her, it was 411 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: just was like yes, next one, Drew Barrymore Flower Beauty. 412 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: So within a month to six weeks, I had the 413 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: biggest brands in America saying what you're say if. 414 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 4: You're back to Alignment and green Light? My god, yeah, 415 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 4: you had you and Flow. So it was just circulating 416 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: coming back to you, coming back to. 417 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: But I had to step back into what I knew 418 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: I was good at, and I had to tap into 419 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: my connections because your connections are always going to endorse 420 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: and advocate for you, and I had to stay true 421 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: to what it was that I wanted to create for 422 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: these brands, but I had to show them that I could. 423 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 4: But the motivation for all of that, ultimately you were 424 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: coming back because you said I was a line. So 425 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 4: that's self belief that I have this potential I could 426 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 4: do that. 427 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: Because when someone says you're irrelevant and they don't know 428 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: who you are, that kind of is a bit of 429 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: a yes stab in turn, because especially in a Korea 430 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: that you've worked so hard for, but I'd also chosen 431 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: to step away from, so it was my choice to 432 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: step back into it. Yeah, this is who I am. 433 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 4: That's really admirable and so many ways, because I'm sure 434 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 4: there's people that are born and lived and died and 435 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 4: never actually felt that flow. Do you know what I mean? 436 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 4: And I'm sure the people listening go, what is that? 437 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 3: This? 438 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 4: Read Matthew's book for starters. It is red light. 439 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: With this toury, so believe, whether it's in a business 440 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: or not. So you've got listeners there who might be 441 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: interested in building their businesses or doing that just. 442 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 4: The flow of life. But that's sort of the thing too. 443 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: It's very true there friends sometimes that might have dropped away, 444 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: maybe ones that should drop away at that stage of 445 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: your life, and the other ones will flowing. 446 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 4: It's true. It's a thing. 447 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: They're like nature, real life lesson. 448 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: I've got to ask you now with George Clooney because 449 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: now you're the coffee one there. 450 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: Have you met me or not? Because I want to 451 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: hear a really funny story. I was appointed to look 452 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: after Fossil Group in Australia with a really beautiful lady 453 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: called Anime. And if she's listening to this podcasts, in fact, 454 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: to Anime, I'll send you the link because you're absolutely 455 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: roar with laughter. So in those days, we used to 456 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: take the magazines overseas with us, as you know, and 457 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: we go and do the big media events. And there 458 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: was an event that was going on in Milan, and 459 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: so everyone because she was the only female and she 460 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: was surrounded by all these men, George Clooney is going 461 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: to be at this party outside of Milan. We need 462 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: to organize pr you need to bring your team over. 463 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: So anime, can I get on the plane. I set 464 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: up all the media. We're going to be meeting George 465 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: and we're going to be doing all these amazing things. 466 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: It was a joke. 467 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 4: Oh are you kidding me? 468 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: I am not kidding you. No, I am not kidding. 469 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: I am not kidding. Yeah, to a castle with the 470 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: managing director of Fossil At the time. 471 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 4: I'm trying to find the here and the stores here. 472 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: So who's the joke on? 473 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: You know, the joke was supposed to be on us 474 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: and the man in the business had you know, she's 475 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: still in the business and she is an exceptional leader, 476 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: like she's extraordinary. But back in the day, that's what 477 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: men in businesses used to do with it. 478 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 4: Interesting yeah, so funny. I bet you made the most 479 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 4: of it, knowing exactly I read forty two you slightly 480 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 4: bored and thinking this isn't exactly going the way I planned. 481 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 4: At the moment where am I at? And you redesigned 482 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 4: your sense of purpose? Can you explain that to us? 483 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: What starts with the green lights? So I got those 484 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: three brands, but then what I learned from each of 485 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: those brands was something about myself, something that I wanted 486 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: and something that I didn't want. So when I was 487 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: at the Victoria's Secret Show in New York, my role 488 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: was to get all the interviews with the supermodels over there, 489 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: and what I recognized backstage then was were all the same. 490 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: Because one of them had a really big panic attack, 491 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: and like any good pr girl, you have love and 492 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: oil in your bag, and I saved her from the 493 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: panic attack. And I recognized that you might be in 494 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: a really privileged position to be working with all of 495 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: these brands, in these celebrities, but at the end of 496 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: the day, we're all human, and if you can show 497 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: empathy and compassion to someone else and allow them to shine, 498 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: then that's a really good business model. 499 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 4: So a light bulb went on your head in my 500 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 4: head and what happened from there. 501 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: So from there we then launched Steve Madden into Australia. 502 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: Then we had Drew Barrymore and I was listening to 503 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: Drew speak about, you know, her whole adventurous life, and 504 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: I thought, well, gosh, I've had an adventurous life as well. 505 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: But she wanted to get a talk show when she 506 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: left Australia, and she was really waiting for that call 507 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: to come through. And I really wanted a different life. 508 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: So I just met my soon to be husband. My 509 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: daughter was happy, like everything was just like everything was. 510 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: I was in a really good place and I'd had 511 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: the green lights on those three brands. And I saw 512 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: her speak and I was like, you know what, I 513 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: think my pr crews over. 514 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 4: And I never had a. 515 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: Photo's interesting affected by Drew, like you know, you brought 516 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 2: it the energy and then she's helped you. 517 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 4: And she was waiting for that phone call. 518 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: So she was waiting for the phone call for that. 519 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: And then what had happened was because we'd partnered with 520 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: Mary Clare Magazine to you know, promote her because I 521 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: loved Nicki Briger and Nicki had said to me toy, 522 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: can I do a story on you. We've never done 523 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: a story on you, but it's going to be on 524 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: single moms with global careers. And something inside of me said, 525 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: that's not my story, and that's an. 526 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: Interesting She repeated that to you back to you. Yeah, 527 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 4: and you listened to that, and when that's not my story, 528 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 4: that's not sitting right with me. 529 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. So what had happened was four months before Drew 530 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: had come out, I'd worked with this amazing journalist called 531 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: Ali Pasco, and for some reason, I just opened up 532 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: and I'd never ever actually opened up to anyone, and 533 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: she gave me that sacred space and then she said 534 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: to me, this is Jeff, not a single mom's story 535 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: in the global business.

That's the end of the road. 657 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 4: Now you're a shunning example of somebody that just listened 658 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 4: to your body, mind and spirit and went, no, this 659 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 4: isn't working for me right now. Others will spurn them 660 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 4: selves out and continue through that journey. You know, I 661 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 4: think it's reassuring for a lot of people listening that 662 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 4: you know, that's not definitive for the rest of your life. 663 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 4: You know, if you're feeling low energy, you're not feeling inspired, 664 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 4: you can flip that and redirect your sense of purpose 665 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 4: where I used to think that my sense of purpose 666 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 4: is that, and that's what it was. Now you're a 667 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 4: walking inspiration because you listened and you changed, You went 668 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: flick and you went down this beautiful like spiritual road. 669 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 4: It was so running out of time before was permanently 670 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 4: running out to Was there. 671 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: A pivotal moment when you really got sick as well 672 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: that changed? Can you just share a little bit about 673 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: that toury. 674 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: So, like any good Jackie Collins novel, which we all 675 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: death experience, death experience, I had death experience. So I 676 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: was due on a plane to London for a high 677 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: profile UK brand and I was a single mom at 678 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: the time. I had twenty two staff, ten freelancers to assistants, 679 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: so one for me, one to help Bella and I 680 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: and of course a nanny.

Thank goodness. 683 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 4: The body will always tell you, the. 684 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: Body will and I knew I was dying before it happened. 685 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: I knew it, but I ignored all the. 686 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 4: Signs because you're too busy. 687 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: I was too busy. And then what happened was my 688 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: pan burst. I felt the snap, I heard the snap, 689 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: and unfortunately I was deadlocked in my house and my 690 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: daughter in those days, had actually changed the code on 691 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: my phone. 692 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 4: How old was your daughter then? 693 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: Eight or eight would have been? And I had to 694 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: wait for someone to call me. 695 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 4: What w Yeah in your appendix have. 696 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: Burst and I could feel my body dye and had 697 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: to wait for someone to call me. And so it 698 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: was an ex boyfriend that was down from Hong Kong 699 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: and his dad was an ex heart surgeon who called 700 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: the ambulance and got me out of I had to 701 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: be revived on the way to the hospital. 702 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 2: So you really had that full in and out of 703 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 2: life experience. 704 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, So two am in the morning, I was operated 705 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: on by an amazing surgeon who basically said to me, 706 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: who's your next of kin? What's going to happen to 707 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: your daughter? You're a single mom. Like all these questions 708 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: I was unprepared for. Yeah, And so basically I did 709 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: see the other side, and will you see a white 710 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: tunnel and then it goes into darkness. 711 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 4: The thing everyone, Yes, it's the same thing. Yeah, Kerry Packer, 712 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 4: even Kerry Packer, same thing. 713 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: So I came back for my daughter and she was 714 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: there for me. I was there for her, and I 715 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: lost eight kilos in five days. So I always say 716 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: it's good to have a little bit of extra fat. 717 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 4: Yes, body, and I'll run with it. 718 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: Yes, I run with it every day. But honestly, that 719 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: that saved my life. 720 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 4: How did it change your life? 721 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: It changed my life because I was given a six 722 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: month recovery, but an actual factor was three or four years, 723 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: and I ended up with a dreamal fatigue, chronic fatigue. 724 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: I had to rewind myself. And what I realized was 725 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: I was surrounded by takers, not givers. And so it 726 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: was a big thing for me. And you'll hear me 727 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: speak about a lot, a mutual exchange of energy. So 728 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: anyone that comes into our community powerful steps. It's sure, 729 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: I've got a lot to give, but what do you 730 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: have to give as well? Because unless it's that energy match, 731 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: it's not right for me. 732 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 4: It's an even flower, it is. 733 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: And so when you talk about how do you attract 734 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: these high vibrational people and opportunities like being on this 735 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: podcast with you today. It's because there's an energy match, 736 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: because you know that you're sharing something. So my recovery 737 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: was all about who do I want to share my 738 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: life with? And so that's why I decided not to 739 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: sell my business, downsize my business. That's how I became 740 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: slightly irrelevant. It's how I won full custody of my 741 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 1: daughter in the restraining order because I created the space 742 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: to work out, what are those little ship pits that 743 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: are all piled around me? And one by one, yeah, 744 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: making me sick, and I just stepped out, and then 745 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 1: one by one until I came in to complete alignment. 746 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 2: What did your surgeons say to you? 747 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 4: How magnificent? Because this is just we were talking about 748 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 4: this beauty. 749 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: My doctor said to me, toy, I'm going to read 750 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: meet you to a hospital unless you get rid of 751 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: all your toxic family members and friends who are not 752 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: allowing you to heal. And I said, I don't want 753 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: to go back to hospital, but I will say no 754 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: to all of them. And the surgeon said to me 755 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: the same thing, and he said, I know what your 756 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: problem is. You're not happy, And he had to be 757 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: a piece of paper, and he goes, A happy heart 758 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: is a magnet for miracles.
