And ever 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: since Xander told me that, I thought, I want to 33 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: talk about this because there's actually something that I did 34 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: in my very early years of being an influencer. I 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: guess that I think has protected my mental health and 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: helped me so so much on my on my whole 37 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: career journey. Right, so let's take a trip down memory lane. 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: I obviously started making videos on YouTube in high school. 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: Everyone knows that, and it was really new when I 40 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: started it. It wasn't a thing like it is now, 41 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: Like not every second person was a content creator. 42 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 3: Back then. 43 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: We just had YouTube and Facebook and then Instagram started 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: as well. Kind of when I was starting on YouTube 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: as a teenager, so probably I'm going to say I 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: was nineteen and I moved to Brisbane to live with 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: a friend who also made YouTube videos, and back then 48 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: there was this website called Guru Gossip. 49 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: I don't think it exists anymore. 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: And I remember knowing about Guru Gossip and then I 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: guess I gained enough popularity back then as a nineteen 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: year old to become relevant enough to get my own 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: thread on there. And my friend that I was living 54 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: with at the time, who was also like a mini 55 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: beauty guru. 56 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: She had a thread on there as well. 57 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: And mind you, I'm nineteen years old. I'm so young 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: and impressionable at that time. I feel like we're impressionable 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: even now, like at the age that we're at. But 60 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: when I was nineteen, I definitely didn't have the confidence 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: and pride I guess in myself that I have now. 62 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: And anyway, I remember discovering my thread on a Guru 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Gossip and back then, I'm pretty sure that's when my 64 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: YouTube channel was called Beauty by Britney, so it was 65 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: like a Beauty by Britney thread and I remember like 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: seeing it or. 67 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: Hearing about it. I think people message me about it 68 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 2: saying have you seen this? 69 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: So literally what I did? 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, people were messaging me, and then I discovered that 71 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: I had my own thread, and I remember jumping in 72 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: there and it's all anonymous, like just random usernames and 73 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: no photos, And I remember I started to read this 74 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: thread and it was lots of people leaving comments about 75 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: me daily, commenting on my every move through like my 76 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: YouTube channel and my Instagram account. 77 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: Mind you, at the time, I think I had. 78 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: Twenty thousand YouTube subscribers, So I was like a baby 79 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: on social media. 80 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: When you say commenting on, commenting on your every move, 81 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: was that like every time you post a video that 82 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: speak about you. 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: It's almost like when I would post a new video, 84 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: then they would have something to talk about because I 85 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: was doing it. 86 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 3: Was the comments on like was it appearance, was it content? 87 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: It was back then it was probably very different to 88 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: maybe comments that get made about me now because I've evolved, 89 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: But back then, I remember the main comments being about 90 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: there was a strong subject of me being a bogan. 91 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: Okay, so nothing's changed, Yeah, so. 92 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: That one is still a valid, a valid comment. If 93 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: people want to call me a bogan, that's fine because 94 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm still that way. But I also think it's because 95 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: back then, when we were in the beauty guru era 96 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: and seeing like the rise of all the first Aussie 97 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: beauty gurus, and by this point, like all the American 98 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: beauty gurus were really famous, like millions of followers, so 99 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: they had all their threads on there as well. But 100 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: in the beauty guru era, everyone was very prim and proper, like, 101 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: welcome back to my channel today, I'm going to be reviewing. 102 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: The Australis pressed powder. 103 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: And then I was myself and I remember back then, 104 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: I was the bogan one that wasn't afraid to swear. 105 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: But social media was so perfect and polished back then, 106 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: and everyone wanted to have a perfect beauty guru sothetic yeah, 107 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: and so people would comment on that, and they would 108 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: comment on my YouTube videos too, like why are you swearing? 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. 110 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: And I guess it's not until many years down the 111 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: track that social media, I guess, became more funny, more real, 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: more relatable. 113 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: It's so funny you say that, because like all of 114 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 3: the successful and popular beauty gurus now, I feel like 115 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 3: a real authentic ones.

Lauren Curtis 120 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: was she just called Lauren Curtis or like something else. 121 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: I can't remember, but we had Los Curtis, Chloe Morello, 122 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: Carrisa Pucas was living in Australia at the time. 123 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 2: She's from Canada. 124 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: There was all those like stunning beauty gurus, and then 125 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: I was the one. 126 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: Going how the fuck iya? 127 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: And I remember people had a really big problem with 128 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: that back then because it was such a polished beauty 129 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: guru world that we were living in. 130 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: I think that also speaks to what people expect women 131 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: to be like on a camera as well. 132 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and because it was new, like social media was 133 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: a new thing back then, talking to the camera was 134 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: a new thing, and yeah, people expected beauty gurus to 135 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: be perfect and polished, with beautiful skin and no swearing. Yeah, 136 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and so I was always myself from the beginning. 137 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: So that was a. 138 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: Huge topic on those guru gossip pages, which was fine 139 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: because I was like, yeah, whatever, like I do swear 140 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not afraid to just be myself. I don't 141 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: want to try to be a proper beauty gu and 142 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: I guess the only reason that I called my channel 143 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: Beauty by Britney back then was because I didn't know 144 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: what else to call it. And back then, vlogging wasn't 145 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: really a thing like it was all your makeup tutorials 146 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: and your calls, so I just didn't think to call 147 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: my channel like just my name. I was like, I've 148 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: got to be a beauty guru because that's what everyone 149 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: else is doing, even though I'm not very good at makeup. 150 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: So that was one of the main things on there. 151 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: The second one would have been on my body shape 152 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: and appearance. Mind you, when I'm nineteen, I was probably 153 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: a size ten to twelve, maybe sometimes a fourteen. But 154 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: I guess back then as well, we didn't have the 155 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: inclusivity that we have now. And we speak a lot 156 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: about inclusivity here on Big Business, but back then, in 157 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: the beauty guru era, it was everyone was a size six, 158 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, so people would comment things about my body, 159 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: about my size. There was just always so so much 160 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: commentary on my body shape inside, given the fact that 161 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't a size six or eight, And I remember 162 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: comparing myself a lot to all the other ossy girls 163 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: doing the same sort of thing as me. Back then, 164 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: because I was the curvier one, being a size twelve 165 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: ten or twelve or fourteen. 166 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: Who knows?

But when I was up there in Brisbane, 279 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: I lived there when I was nineteen and twenty, That's 280 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: when I first discovered people writing anonymously about me online. 281 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: It really upset me and really affected me, and I 282 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: started to believe the things that people were writing about me, 283 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: like she's a bogan things about my body, like she's fat, 284 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, she's not a size twelve, she's lying 285 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: about the tag on her like it was a whole thing, 286 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: like you're lying about your size. I was buying into 287 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: that and starting to believe the things that people were writing, 288 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: because you know, if you're insecure to begin with, and 289 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: then people are saying shit about you, you can so 290 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: easily then start to believe everything they say. And so 291 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I made the conscious decision back then that I wanted 292 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: to make a promise to myself to never read anything 293 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: negative about me online again when it's coming from anonymous accounts. 294 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: And so I never went back on that Guru Gossip website, 295 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: as hard as it was to do that, you know, 296 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: I would want to know what people were saying, you know, 297 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: and I'm sure there was more and more and more 298 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: as the years went on. But I just made that 299 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: vow to myself, I never want to read anonymous stuff 300 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: about me ever again. And it's crazy that I stuck 301 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: to it, and to this day, I have still never 302 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: gone out of my way to read an anonymous thread 303 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: about me. Now, obviously I think Guru Gossip website is gone. 304 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: Other ones started I know that I never went on 305 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: the other ones. The other one is called Tattle. 306 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 3: Is it still around. 307 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: I believe so, but it got taken down recently. I 308 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: remember seeing it got taken down because the bullying was 309 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: becoming extreme. But then I think it got back up 310 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: because I remember seeing this on. 311 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: TikTok or something ta t t l E. 312 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: Yes, I've never gone on that website, but I know 313 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: that it's a thing or has been a thing. 314 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: And then obviously. 315 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: Reddit tatle Life. Yeah, Tattle Life is a commentary website 316 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: on public business social media accounts. We allow commentary and 317 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: critiques of people that choose to monetize their personal life 318 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: and business. 319 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: So that might be different now because that used to 320 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: I think it used to just be to trash influences. 321 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: It says public figure gossip, okay, families, gurus, Instagram as bloggers. 322 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: These all sections you can click on. 323 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that website started. I have never been on 324 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: that website. I've never been on it, so I could 325 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: not tell you what's on there. 326 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. 327 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: A look, I don't tell I'm not going to tell you. 328 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: I'm just going to have a look myself. 329 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: And then obviously Reddit came out who knows how long ago, 330 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: but I feel like Reddit has been around for a 331 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: really long time but only gained popularity like more recently. 332 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: But I know for a fact that they're and obviously 333 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: you've told me as well.

I will be the first person 433 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: to hear someone out if they reached out to me 434 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: and said, hey, Britt, I bought the Greer denim shorts 435 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: and I just want to give you a bit of feedback, 436 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: and I go, of course, like, let us know. There 437 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: have been so many moments over the years of Fate 438 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: and it's eight long years where people have reached out 439 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: to us for whatever reason, you know, if they've been 440 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: disappointed with service in store, if the fit of something 441 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: wasn't what they'd hoped, if an item arrived damaged, or 442 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. There's been so many times where 443 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: we will actively take on feedback and learn better for 444 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: next time. And I would never be the kind of 445 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: person to be like, no, I'm perfect. 446 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: Fate's perfect. Everything we do is. 447 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: Perfect and all the clothes are perfect, because that's just 448 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: not humanly possible. Everything has room for improvement in a business. 449 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: I have room for improvement as a person, as a 450 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: social profile, as everything, and I am so open to feedback. 451 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: But what I'm not open to is people ridiculing me 452 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: online anonymously, because at the end of the day, I 453 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: don't think that gets anyone anywhere.
