1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: I've never felt more in my place ever until now.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, this feels like what I'm meant to

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: be doing. We're like this just makes sense, Like everything

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: that has happened has led us to this, and it

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: feels incredible and I'm just so grateful. And we still fail,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Like there's still things that we fail at and we

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: keep trying and we keep We're always learning.

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Sees the Yay Podcast. Busy and happy

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: are not the same thing. We too rarely question what

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: makes the heart seeing. We work, then we rest, but

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: rarely we play and often don't realize there's more than

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: one way. So this is a platform to hear and

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: explore the stories of those who found lives They adore,

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: the good, bad and ugly. The best and worst day

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: will bear all the facets of seizing your Yea. I'm

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: Sarah Davidson or a spoonful of Sarah, a lawyer turned

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: fu entrepreneur whos wapped the suits and heels to co

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: found matcha Maiden and matcha Milk Bar. Ces. The Ya

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: is a series of conversations on finding a life you

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: love and explore trying the self doubt challenge, joy and

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: fulfillment along the way. In this day and age, all

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: of us enjoy a few parasocial relationships with people we

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: follow and feel like we know but haven't actually met,

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: And in fact, a lot of our guests on this

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: show feel a bit like that before we record. But

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: this week's guest goes even further beyond that and into

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: the realm of an honorary family member, because she's with

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: us in our lounge, room, in our kitchen, and sometimes

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: even our bedroom every single day. In the ultimate case

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: of if you know, you know, anyone listening who's at

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: a similar stage of life to us won't need any

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: further context than her name to understand why it was

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: so surreal to sit down with the incredible Miss Mooney

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: for our episode this week. But for those who don't know,

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: I am so excited to have had educator, musician mum

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: of two and Australia's answer to Miss Rachel, jump right

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: out of her booming YouTube channel to join the show.

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Miss Money otherwise known as Monica Ferrera, although much like

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: my teachers that's I cannot bring myself to call her that,

40
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: brings years of teaching experience to her interactive toddler learning

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: videos on YouTube using interactive songs, which by the way,

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: are absolute bangers, stories and adventures to help our little

43
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: ones develop language and social skills wherever they may be.

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: I was introduced to her after some of my own

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: followers saw that Teddy had been picking up American sign

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: language from Miss Rachel before I realized that sign language

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: wasn't universal, and of course I wasn't going to have

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: him speaking in an American accent, even though it was

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: in sign language. And from that very first video with

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: her bright yellow costume and big smile, we have never

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: looked back. But even if you too know Miss Monny's

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: face and voice as well as we do, you may

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: not know the amazing story of how she ended up

54
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: where she is today. Of course, you know we love

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: a good path yay. I won't give away too much

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: more on the intro, but I had no idea before

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: I started researching about her medical, sliding doors moment, the

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: other businesses that she has started, and I was dying

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: to know more from behind the scenes about how she

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: edits her videos. It writes her lyrics, and which of

61
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: the instruments that you see her playing that she can

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: actually play in real life, which spoiler alert is more

63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: than one. Wildly, this was Miss Money's first podcast ever,

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: even though you wouldn't know it at all from her

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: eloquence and poise. She is as delightful as you'd think

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: she'd be from her videos, and I hope you enjoyed

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: this one as much as I did. Miss Money. Hi, Hi,

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Thank you.

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited to chat. I'm excited this is my first podcast.

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: I know. I still can't believe it. It is such

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: a privilege and it made me laugh so much when

72
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: you joined the call and said you're not very good

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: at tech because you're a YouTuber extraordinaire.

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: No, I just I'm a mum just doing something, you know,

75
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: some videos on the side.

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, absolutely not. You are a household name,

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: if not a household hero. Oh, I mean, you're literally

78
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: saving our life and providing a wonderful soundtrack for everything

79
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: we do. So thank you.

80
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I get so much joy out of hearing a mum

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: say you gave me an opportunity to have a shower.

82
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Oh I know that feeling. Yeah, Like I know that feeling,

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: and it's just oh.

84
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I am so honored to be your very

85
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: first podcast, and particularly because one thing I love doing

86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: on this show is showing a side of people that

87
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: they know a little bit less about. And I mean

88
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: hundreds and thousands, if not millions, of Australians see you

89
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: every day and know your facial expressions intimately, but obviously

90
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: without many other podcasts being out there, don't know much

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: about how you got there, what goes on behind the scenes.

92
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: And Nick and I always talk to each other about

93
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: I wonder how she chooses the songs or how do

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: you know which ones are going to land? Well, So

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: I can't wait to dive into all.

96
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: Of that, but sounds great.

97
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: I start every episode going all the way back to

98
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: the beginning to your childhood, because I think that is

99
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: such a beautiful formative time where a lot of the

100
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: seeds are planted for where you end up, even if

101
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: you don't necessarily know it at the time. So, born

102
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: and raised in Adelaide, what was your childhood like and

103
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: what did you think that you wanted to be?

104
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: I had a really nice childhood. I mean I started

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: violin when I was eight, and so that sort of

106
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: really just took my life into that direction of music

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: in the arts. Since I was in primary school. As

108
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: soon as I picked up the violin, I just loved

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: it and I was just practicing all the time. And

110
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: then I excelled really quickly into it. And then I

111
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: got into a special interest music school in Adelaide, which

112
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, then obviously music was really solidified, and everything

113
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: I was doing, I didn't really have my heart set on,

114
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, going down the performer pathway. I was really

115
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: just very much go with the flow.

116
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: And that flow took you all the way to Queensland

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: to the Conservatorium, so such strong musical roots.

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I auditioned for the con because my brother

119
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: came to Brisbane. But then I also was like, oh,

120
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe i'll have a gap year, or maybe i'll go

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: do medical science. I don't even know what that is.

122
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: Oh.

123
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: I was just so blase about it all. And then

124
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: I just hit the ground running. I loved being out

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the con and just being surrounded and I feel like

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: music was really a big part of my childhood and

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: sort of led me to where I am. But I

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: didn't have anything in mind that I will be a

129
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: performer or I'll be a teacher or anything like that.

130
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: That sort of came a bit more towards the end

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: of my degree.

132
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so fascinating because you know, people often say

133
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: one day you'll end up in a job that didn't

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: exist when you first started school. And I mean, of

135
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: course you didn't grow up thinking I want to be

136
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: a famous YouTuber because YouTube didn't exist, so of course

137
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: you couldn't have known. But along the way with the arts,

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: obviously you've turned it into such an incredible career. But

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: I think there is often a bit of a hierarchy

140
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: of career pathways when we go through school with a

141
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: slant towards something stafe and sensible. Were you ever dissuaded

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: from the arts because of that? Because I know a

143
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: lot of people have such a dick passion for music

144
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: or acting or whatever form of the arts it is,

145
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: and then don't continue pursuing it because family pressure or

146
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: because they think I need to do something more stable.

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: Did you ever have that or did you just roll

148
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: with it?

149
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Not? Really? Like my family really supportive though, really supportive,

150
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: and my brother I was kind of following his footsteps

151
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: because he went to the con and played the cello

152
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: and so were sort of a big part of our

153
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: upbringing was music, and so I think that was only

154
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: natural to sort of go down that path, but I

155
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: mean not really. I feel like once I got to

156
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: the con and you know, after a year, you're just like, Okay,

157
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: well I'm not a prodigy. You know what am I

158
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: going to do?

159
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: I feel like you are. I feel like I.

160
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Just enjoyed my time at the con. I was you know,

161
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: we'd practice and then we'd go for coffees with our

162
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: mates and it was just such a beautiful time. And

163
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I feel like that was really just the highlight of

164
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: my twenties, was just how free I felt and that

165
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: I was doing music and enjoying it. But I knew

166
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: that it wasn't going to be Okay, I want to

167
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 1: go and perform in an orchestra, because that's a whole

168
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: other level. It's a whole nother space. So I was

169
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: just like, where am I going? Okay, well, teaching kind

170
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: of feels like the most natural path at that point,

171
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: but you know it just yeah, I think I was

172
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: always so supported that I was free to make those

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: decisions on my own.

174
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's really beautiful. And I mean obviously the translation

175
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: of the Conservatorium with your diphed have led to exactly

176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: where you are the dots are connecting in such an

177
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: extraordinary way. But you did start in the classroom after

178
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: you'd finish your education degree, So how long were you

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: a teacher and what was that chapter? Like?

180
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: So I did my dip head. I mean, I had

181
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: no idea about teaching at all, and I loved it,

182
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: Like not so much the high school because I looked

183
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: like a high school kid teaching class cool kids like

184
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm really sure, I'm one hundred and fifty three centimeters

185
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and I'm just around these high schoolers. I'm like, oh,

186
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: what you have to So I didn't love the high

187
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: school part. But then I ended up getting a job

188
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: where I did my prack, which was beautiful, and then

189
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: I did classroom music from kindy to year five, and

190
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: then year six to twelve was violin. I don't know,

191
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: I loved it, and especially just the kindy kids, like

192
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: I really feel like I connected most of them, which

193
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: is really resonates with what I'm doing now.

194
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: It set you up extremely well. It's so funny that

195
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: I have no idea your height because there's nothing on

196
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: the screen relativize, and I don't.

197
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: Have anyone like standing next to you. The hotel on

198
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: my back of my high school jumper says Mini Money. Yeah,

199
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Money was in my high school nickname, and mini because

200
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: sometimes it's.

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 2: Been such a long time in the making. Well, one

202
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: of the big preoccupations I have with people's pathways, or

203
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: we call them path ya the way to finding the

204
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: joy that you have in the chapter we often meet

205
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: you in, which is as mismoney is the pathway pivot,

206
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: and especially the ones that are unexpected, often challenging at

207
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: the time. And I think sometimes life throws things at

208
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: you that feel grueling and you don't know why at

209
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: the time, and they throw all of your directions sort

210
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: of into disarray, and then later you look back and

211
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: you're like, that's why that needed to happen, So you

212
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: were enjoying your teaching career. And I also think that's

213
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: one of the interesting things is that sometimes people have

214
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: a pivot because they decide they're unhappy and they'll leave,

215
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: whereas sometimes it's sort of involuntary. Something happens. What happened

216
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: to you and how did it redirect you to where

217
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: you are?

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Well, yeah, like you said, everything was going

219
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: really well with teaching. It was just all flowing.

220
00:10:59,679 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: Really.

221
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I see, I was in a new relationship with Nelson,

222
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: and everything was just smooth, you know. And then I

223
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: can't really pinpoint exactly what happened, but it was just

224
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: a slight sort of ankle injury, like a roll or

225
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: something that happened at work, and it was just you'd

226
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: think it was nothing. And then over a few months,

227
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: I guess it turned into something called complex regional pain syndrome,

228
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: which is basically a nervous system being in complete overdrive

229
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: and just being like confused about what's going on. So

230
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: there is nothing wrong physically with my ankle, but it

231
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: thinks that there's it's in huge danger. So I could

232
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: not put my foot to the ground because it was

233
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: just I'd get shocks and it was just on fire.

234
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: It felt like my ankle was on fire. I did

235
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: not get diagnosed with it for at least over a year,

236
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: but I have always been very determined. So I saw

237
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: over forty different practitioners, including someone who thought I had

238
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: rheumatoid arthriders and someone who was injecting thirty or forty

239
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: injections of saline down my leg once a week because

240
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. And so then finally

241
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I found the right person who told me what it was.

242
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: I went into a hospital for a pain rehab program

243
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: for a week, which was amazing, just to learn about

244
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: pain and like how it works and what I was

245
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: going through and the things that I could do, And

246
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: so finally I could get my head in the game.

247
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: I had to leave my job, so teaching in the classroom,

248
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: I just I had to leave and then I could

249
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: really focus on myself because I was just becoming so

250
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: negative and the issue was that this thing had taken

251
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: over my identity. So I decided to leave, and it

252
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: was the best thing because then I could really focus

253
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: on my health and I got myself back on track.

254
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: And then I started my own violin studio from home.

255
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: But I just wasn't able or ready to go back

256
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: to the classroom. But I missed that connection with the kids.

257
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: So in the meantime, I was just trying to find

258
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: work online, and I worked for my brother as a

259
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: project manager online for a little while as well, and

260
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: that was great because you know, I sort of got

261
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: an idea of that sort of e commerce well, which

262
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: has been helpful to what I'm doing now as well.

263
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: Then one day, when after we had our daughter, we

264
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: sort of started experimenting with screen time after she turned

265
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: about one and a lot of parents were going to YouTube.

266
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, and she sort of started watching a few

267
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: shows and everything, and a few like really great American shows,

268
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: and then we were like noticing that she's sort of

269
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: developing a bit of an American accent, okay, and like

270
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: for us, Ozzie's I feel like that's not really a novelty,

271
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: whereas like in America they love the Australian accent. I mean,

272
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: we're in the Bluey era at the moment as well,

273
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: And so for us, we were like, oh, I think

274
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: it's really important that she's seeing and hearing an Australian voice.

275
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: And so there's the beautiful music channels, but nothing that

276
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: sort of melds the music and the education maybe speech

277
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: development as well, when they're watching at such a young age,

278
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: when that age is so important for speech development as well.

279
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's kind of where it led me to,

280
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: and we just took off from there.

281
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: I guess, Oh my gosh. And it's so funny because

282
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: I truly believe that the universe has wild ways of

283
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: making sure that you end up where you're supposed to

284
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: be one.

285
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: Hundred percent, Like I can. I've never felt more in

286
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: my place ever until now. I'm like, Wow, this feels

287
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: like what I'm meant to be doing. And Nelson as well,

288
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: like we just were like this just makes sense, Like

289
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: everything that has happened has led us to this, and

290
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: it feels incredible and I'm just so grateful.

291
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's also such an important reminder to our

292
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: listeners too that if they meet you now, which many

293
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: of us do, you'd have no idea that there was

294
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: a period where you couldn't work, you couldn't walk, or

295
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: have the sense of direction purpose that you do now.

296
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: But so many of us go through something like this

297
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: along the way, and you can come out the other end.

298
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: I think this is just the part of people's story

299
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: that doesn't get as much airtime, and particularly with CRPS.

300
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: I wasn't glad to hear you experienced it, of course,

301
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: but I was glad to be able to cover it

302
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: on the show because a dear listener turned friend, Kate

303
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: has been a longtime sufferer and it just seems like

304
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: such a little known, misunderstood condition that she has often

305
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: felt so isolated by and even traveled overseas to be

306
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: treated for and it's invisible as well, so very difficult

307
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: for anyone else to understand what you're going through. But

308
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: I think you give such hope to others that you

309
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: can overcome it and build an incredible career afterwards that

310
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: you never expected.

311
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: There's definitely hope. Like, honestly, yeah, if you had spoken

312
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: to me, even during that time, I was just a

313
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: different person because it just took over my life. But

314
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: then I just had that fire in sign me that

315
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: I was like, no, like, if I can do anything

316
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: to avoid going down the aisle in a wheelchair and

317
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: do it, do you know what I mean? Like that

318
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: was just where I was at. I just wasn't going

319
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: to give up. Yeah, but you know, it was still

320
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: really hard. But I think there's definitely hope.

321
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: And I think Kate had also said she'd never heard

322
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: of anyone else who had had CPS, and if she had,

323
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: they were still in the throes of trying to manage it,

324
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: whereas in your case, you're an incredible example of someone

325
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: who can not only come through it and obviously walk

326
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: down the aisle, but also to become an incredible dancer.

327
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh you uio.

328
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: Choreography is insane.

329
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: It's the one area that I have the least confidence in.

330
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Stop bitch. Yes, I'm so embarrassed about my dancing. It's okay,

331
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm working on it.

332
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: Okay. So in construction crew, there's a scene where there's

333
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: like five of you and one of you is flossing

334
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: on the top floor of a building. I see it

335
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: every time. I'm like, she got moves.

336
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: No, it was a fluke. I'm not kidding you. It was.

337
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe I did it that

338
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: long in a row, and don't ask me to do

339
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: it again. It's a fluke. I don't know if you've

340
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: seen my Halloween episode, I did miss like that little

341
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: move and that was a fluke as well. And last

342
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: night we were having a Halloween dance party last night

343
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: and I was trying to do It's like, because there's

344
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: been about a year since I've posted that video, and

345
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't do it again.

346
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: I love how you're like, I don't know if you've

347
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: seen I've seen them all all the songs, all the routines.

348
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: You know what's weird. I was thinking about this the

349
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: other day. I was like, there are so many kids

350
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: and families out there who know my videos a hundred

351
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: times better than I do because I make them. I

352
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: watched them before I post, we watched them, we post it,

353
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: and I never watch it again. Do you know what

354
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean?

355
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: Stop it? Even Nick, like Nick is the one so

356
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: has fun fact, it's actually Nick who lined this up

357
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: because we have been obsessed with Miss Monty. Obviously you

358
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: are a staple in our household. And this was because

359
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: it's funny that you mentioned we had been When we

360
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: did sort of introduce screen time, it was only educational shows,

361
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: and of course we went straight to Miss Rachel because

362
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: that's kind of everyone's, you know, gateway drug entry level,

363
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: welcome to screen time. And I had been teaching Teddy

364
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: more and the sign for that, and I made a

365
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: funny video about it going more more as if it

366
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: was to Teddy and it was Nick pouring me a wine,

367
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: yeah right, which was hilarious. But so many people were like,

368
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: by the way, that's more in American sign language and

369
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: OSLAN isn't the same. And I didn't know that sign

370
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 2: language wasn't universal because we hadn't had, you know, anyone

371
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: in our family or in our friendship group who would

372
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: know the difference. And I thought, oh my God, Teddy

373
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: wasn't even speaking, but he's got an American accent in

374
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: sign language. His baby sign is America. I'm not okay

375
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: with that, let alone if he'd actually started saying words.

376
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: So that's how we discovered you, because okay, I had

377
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: hundreds of messages really saying go to miss Money, go

378
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: to miss Money, like all of your fans were just

379
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 2: redirecting us. And since then that's so nice. We've been obsessed.

380
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: And Nick was like, we have so many questions about

381
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: the behind the scenes. Why don't you just ask her yourself?

382
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, wait, she's way too famous.

383
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: She's way too like she wouldn't be available. And he's like,

384
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: let me just dm her. Are you joking? Oh my gosh,

385
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: ran in and he was like, she said, yes, it's hilarious.

386
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: Oh no, I've loved Nick sent me a video of Teddy. No,

387
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: he's very proud, so proud, he's so proud. I love that.

388
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: But I think the other thing we all forget now

389
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: watching your incredible videos, like every detail is thought out,

390
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: even in the background in like the blurred out backgrounds

391
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: you have. There's like book names that are about you know,

392
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: how to make your kid eat vegetables, like they're just

393
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: so funny. Everyone starts somewhere, and I think we forget that.

394
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: So there was a day when you literally started your

395
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: YouTube channel with zero followers. You were putting these videos

396
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: together for the first time, Like you would have had

397
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: to set up a green screen for the first time,

398
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: and you would have had days where you had like

399
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: five followers then six followers. Like I think we skated

400
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: over that part, and that's really scary because what if

401
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: you fail. You don't know where it's going to go.

402
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: You don't know what you're doing. What was that part like?

403
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: And obviously you're doing it with your husband and you're

404
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: at home and you got kids, So tell us about

405
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: the very beginning and did you ever think it would get.

406
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: To hear on? No way. So I was pregnant with

407
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: our second I was four months pregnant, and I was

408
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, like I said, I was like, oh,

409
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, why don't I just give it a shot.

410
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: I've got I can play the ukulele, I can do

411
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: a bit of singing. Like I didn't see myself as

412
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: a singer, but I was like, I like to sing,

413
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: I can do that, And yeah, I just bought a

414
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: green screen off Amazon. Didn't even know. I didn't know anything.

415
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Like it was wrinkly, it was all folded. I was like.

416
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: And then as soon as I figured out how to

417
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: kiy it out, and I was like, oh my god,

418
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: this is a I remember that feeling of being we

419
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: had this like found this like under the sea background,

420
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: and then like as soon as we keep it, I

421
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I'm under this, Like it

422
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: just blew my mind and it's like so simple. But

423
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: I was like, this is so cool. But I had

424
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: no idea, like I think the first time I edited

425
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: was on iMovie and quickly realized it's not a great idea,

426
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: but you know, and like it was just we love

427
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: to learn, Like Nelson and I just were just all

428
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: about learning. We love trying new things. So we weren't

429
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: afraid to fail. Well I wasn't afraid to fail, like

430
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: we just we've tried some. At one point, I was

431
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: selling mugs on Etsy, like just printing out mugs and

432
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: like no way, yeah, yeah, and so and that was

433
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: before yeah, before I had our first our daughter. But yeah,

434
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean the first video was just oh, I mean,

435
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: if you look at it, it's it's horrifying, but it's

436
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: up there. I'm not going to take it down because

437
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: it shows how far we've come. And it was just

438
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: you just give it to go like it just I

439
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: was like, I can just try this, and then you

440
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: learned so much from your first video. The first thing

441
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I learned was how scary my eyes looked, like, my

442
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: eyes are just like this, and I had no idea,

443
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: and so Nelson, I have this thing where it's like

444
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: you're doing scary eyes. I'm like, okay, I'll tone it

445
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: down like I can feel it, because you don't know

446
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: until you just and then you look at yourself and

447
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: you came around, You're like, oh, wow, that actually looks

448
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: a bit wild. Okay what I look like? You know

449
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, there was just so much to learn,

450
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: but it was beautiful. It's such a great process. And

451
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: then it just started to grow really quickly and we're like, wow,

452
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: there's actually more than just our daughter and our friend's

453
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: kids who want to watch it. There's people out there

454
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: who want an Australian voice and Australian sign language keywords

455
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: signs as you're saying, so yeah, I don't know, it

456
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: just sort of it flowed really nicely. We weren't afraid.

457
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is, if I was afraid, I

458
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: would have spent six months on my first video trying

459
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: to perfect it. I just didn't care. So I just

460
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: put this out there. And I had no idea what

461
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: YouTube was about. We were learning the platform, we were

462
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: learning about analytics, we were learning about I use YouTube

463
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: videos to learn about how to edit on Premiere Pro,

464
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: and you know, ironically, it all just sort of came

465
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: together in one beautiful way. So yeah, the beginning was great.

466
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: It was great because you were just just we weren't

467
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: afraid to fail. It doesn't matter, like, give it a go,

468
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: and if kids find us and connect with me, that's beautiful,

469
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: and you know, and that's it's only just growing from there.

470
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: And we still fail, Like there's still things that we

471
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: fail at and we keep trying and we keep we're

472
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: always learning, we're always trying to do better, and everything

473
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: still feels new, especially compared to all of our sort

474
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: of peers in the space or the beautiful Australian artists,

475
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: kids artists out there, like they've been at it for

476
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: years and years, and so we still feel like these

477
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: little puppies on the stud but you know, but we're

478
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: learning and we're growing, and you know, it's all failure

479
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: is just a huge part of learning.

480
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: So oh my, oh gosh, that is so refreshing. And

481
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: I think if we all had that approach from the

482
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: beginning of a project, you wouldn't get in your own way,

483
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: and you would start quicker and you probably would find

484
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: out that you can do it. And there is a

485
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: obviously often a bigger appetite for what you're putting out

486
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: there than you would.

487
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: Ever expect exactly. And it's not just YouTube, it's just

488
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: any it's any platform. It's about having the confidence put

489
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: yourself out there, put your work out then, and not

490
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: be afraid to that it does look a bit rough

491
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: around the edges.

492
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: Well obviously we didn't notice, and now it looks so

493
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 2: polished to talk to us about the nuts and bolts

494
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: of putting a video together, because at the sort of

495
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: polished end, it flows so beautifully. You're swapping between different backgrounds,

496
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: then you've got your props, and then you've got transitions,

497
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: and then you're singing in some of them and you're

498
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: speaking in some of them. And I think to anyone

499
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: who's not in our industry, they wouldn't be thinking what

500
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking. But I'm always sort of like, oh my god.

501
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 2: So they had to get like you over, like how

502
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: are you getting the microphone to do the audio to

503
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: match the singing? And then the talking is different. But

504
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: then I can't say a boom mic in the you know,

505
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about the logistics of like how you're doing it?

506
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: So do you write the songs? Is Nelson editing or filming?

507
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: And then like how, yeah, how what's the split?

508
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I write all the melody and lyrics to

509
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: all of my songs, and I direct the style of

510
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: the songs. So then I hand it over to our

511
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: awesome music producer who's in Spain, and we just work

512
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: really well together. And so basically, yeah, I have an

513
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: idea of all the songs and I have that direction

514
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: and it just it flows really well. So that's the

515
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: music side, and then so generally I'm in charge of, yeah,

516
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: all the creativity. I edit all the videos myself, do

517
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: you yeah, do everything myself? Yeah? Yeah, no, because I

518
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: learned from the beginning and I think, and then with Nelson,

519
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: he's a huge part of the analytics and the business

520
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: side and making sure that we are growing and we

521
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: are reaching the right families. But also he overlooks everything,

522
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: like if I put together a recording of at the

523
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: end of every scene cut off, I'm going, was that

524
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: all right? How was it? Okay?

525
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: You need to upload just a clip of all of those.

526
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know, I to think of it.

527
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: And he's like, yep, yep, no, no, do it again, okay,

528
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: And so he overlooks everything because he has he has

529
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: a really analytical brain. So we just we work really

530
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: well together. Our skills have come together really nicely. So

531
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: he guides me with the ideation because we got to

532
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: we have to look at our analytics and kind of see, okay, well,

533
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: what are kid's enjoying, what are parent's responding to, what

534
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: do they need more of? What? You know, what's working,

535
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: what's not? Where's the balance? So he guides me with that.

536
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: I do the scripting. We go over the scripts together,

537
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: and then while I'm scripting, I'm putting together backgrounds, so

538
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: I usually just make them in canvas and then I

539
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: have like sort of a pay for stock footage yep,

540
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: and sort of put things together myself, and then we

541
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: film Nelson's in chargeable the audio. We just film with

542
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: a boom mic.

543
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: No way, because the audio is just so clear. Is

544
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: it at home studio? Like you do it all at home?

545
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, it's all at home. Yeah yeah. Oh my gosh,

546
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: oh yeah no. We don't have time to go to

547
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: a studio. I know.

548
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, you have two kids when he

549
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: started bit We have two kids.

550
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: So we've always filmed at night. Only recently it's been

551
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: game changing because our daughter's at KINDI So I've been

552
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: going and filming during the day, which has been so

553
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: refreshing because I feel like I'm a bit more awake.

554
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, generally we were always filming at night both

555
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: kids are sleep. That was hard at the beginning when

556
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: I had my son a newborn and you know, being

557
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: dressed as Miss Mooney and he wakes up and I've

558
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: got to go feed him and then run back down

559
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: and keep going your yellow dress. Yeah, I know, it's crazy.

560
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: And my hair and I'm just like, don't get his

561
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: spray near him.

562
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay. One thing your hair always looks in Shane is

563
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: so shiny and beautiful.

564
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm just going to chalk it down to my Mum's

565
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: Indian and I used to have hair. She used to

566
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: put hair oil in my hair wiling. Yes, so that's

567
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: what I don't use anything special. I wish there was

568
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: some magical formula that I could share with everything.

569
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: I think about it every every time I watch it,

570
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, her hair is so beautiful,

571
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: and like there's one the video where the other thing

572
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: this is so random, but in the colors song red, yellow, blue, orange, purple,

573
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: green needs a color dream just in case you'd forgotten

574
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: what your lyrics are. I was like, she knows literally

575
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: the bit where you paint a rainbow a your hair

576
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: looks really good from the back as well, And I

577
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: was like, damn, her hair's amazing. Cheese and b Nick

578
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: and I every time are like she freehand painted a

579
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: perfect rainbow.

580
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, all right, trade secret, Oh

581
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: tell me more. It's nothing. I just went in with

582
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: a pencil like oh, I like took a lot of

583
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: time and there was there's just really if you look carefully,

584
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: you can see the careful like the pencil lines in there.

585
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: This is why they say meet because I thought it

586
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: was always like that.

587
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: Freehand How is she doing that? And it took me

588
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: so long, like that's obviously spedter. It took me ages

589
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: and I was like, don't make a mistake. I was like,

590
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: what the what's the next color? Go to the song?

591
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: Oh, that's so funny. I can't believe you do all

592
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: the editing yourself. That's amazing.

593
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, one day I'd love to get an editor.

594
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: It's just it's almost like, if I get an editor,

595
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to kind of teach them your style.

596
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: And then is that going to hold us back because

597
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: our timelines are pretty tight, like we're just video to

598
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: video at the moment. Yeah, it's just basically the two

599
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: of us, and so things are just always just you know,

600
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: we can't really we're not that much planned ahead ideas

601
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: of what we're going to do. But one day i'd

602
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: love to get an edit out. We were working on

603
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: an illustrator so that we can have a bit more

604
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: of a style for our backgrounds and have a more

605
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: Mismoney world like.

606
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so might feel a bit more cohesive.

607
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: And we're always thinking about, you know, how kids can

608
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: connect with Miss Mooney and the brand and you know,

609
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: how we can work in those ways and the business

610
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: side of things as well. So yeah, we're slowly getting

611
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: there because we don't obviously want to, Like I'd love

612
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: to outsource a little bit as well, so I can

613
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: really hone in on the creative side and scripting and

614
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: making sure I'm like really doing all of that really well,

615
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: because yeah, they're editing takes a bit of time.

616
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, what is the turnaround, and like how often

617
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: are you releasing videos?

618
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: Well, at the moment, it's sort of like every four weeks.

619
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: I filmed last week and I'm going to finish the

620
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: video hopefully today, So it's like an editing of one week,

621
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: which is sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. Songs take

622
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: the longest because that's so much happening in a song. Yeah,

623
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, and I just try and keep things simple,

624
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: like I just go, hang on a minute that seems overstimulating,

625
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: cut that out, Like let's just keep it simple. If

626
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: kids are connecting with me, that's what's important. Like don't

627
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: overdo backgrounds and things like that. So that's the other

628
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: thing about getting an editor is making sure that they're

629
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: getting that part of our videos right as well, that

630
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to be over stimulating.

631
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes when you're growing, it is actually like people say

632
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: delegate all the things, and it's like sometimes it's actually

633
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: you're too busy to delegate, like because you've got to

634
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: train a person and there's a whole process. So that

635
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: makes total sense, and I appreciate every video even more

636
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: now knowing that you've done it yourself. But it's also,

637
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's incredible that your background was violin and

638
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: yet you're writing, singing playing Okay, are you playing the

639
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: guitar and the drums in construction crew?

640
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely not?

641
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Okay, we had bets on that.

642
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: Sarah, you shouldn't have asked me no, but you get

643
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: it actually, like, no, it's my violin.

644
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: Really well, yeah, I was like, look at her, think

645
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: she's doing the guitar.

646
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: But if you look at my right hand, it's doing nothing.

647
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: It's just like it looks like what's going on there

648
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: with the left hand.

649
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get her up. It's fun though, I

650
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: love it. We love filming those bits because Nelson just

651
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: like has a huge laugh of me. He's like, it's

652
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: not down there, it's a guitarist.

653
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, He's like, no, you're doing that wrong. Oh yeah,

654
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: you look so good. And when you change costumes, I'm like, whoa,

655
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: she's in character like the construction hat. I'm like, even

656
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: your hair even looks good with a hat on, Like,

657
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: what the hell? So with all the like you obviously

658
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: taught yourself oslan, how much of what goes into the

659
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: videos is guided by your analytics and going with what's

660
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: gone well versus are you doing educational research on like

661
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: delivery or like you've obviously upskilled haapes to learn actual

662
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: sign language.

663
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: Well, so, I just want to clarify, and it's really

664
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: good for more people to learn this. But so Oslan

665
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: is a language itself, Stralian sign language. It's not spoken,

666
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: so the voice is off and they just sign without

667
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: their voice on, and they have different sentence structure and

668
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: it's a whole proper language. Whereas keyword signs, which is

669
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I'm signing keywords that come from Osland,

670
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: so I sign and I say them. So I'm not

671
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: teaching Osland because that's your language. Because in my song

672
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: I can do anything. It's coming out in the next video.

673
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm signing keywords, whereas if I were to sign Osland,

674
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: the structure of what I'm signing would be completely different. Yeah,

675
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: so I have a beautiful death consultant. Her name is

676
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: Mikayla from Awesome Oslan and she has been incredible. She

677
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: has helped me so much and I've learned so much

678
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: from her, and she just wants, you know, more people

679
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: to learn about this, to understand the difference between osland

680
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: and keyword sign, and just to be signing because I

681
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: think it's beautiful and like, our kids are signing all

682
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: the time and they can speak, but they love to

683
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: sign as well, and I think it's it's great, it's

684
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: like so inclusive and yeah, I think so. I'm learning

685
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: from Mikayla, So anytime I do any signs, I'm always

686
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: sending them to her. Hey how was this? And even

687
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: for this song, I wanted to sign the very last

688
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: chorus fully with keyword sign, and so she I sent

689
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: it to her, and she even spoke to an interpreter

690
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: and she wanted to make sure I'm getting it really

691
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: correct because I know the responsibility I have to make

692
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: sure I'm teaching the right thing. So I'm always getting

693
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: her help with all the signs that I do. So

694
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm really lucky to have that. Yeah, I had no

695
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: idea at the beginning to tell oh, yeah, Uslan, Yeah,

696
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: I'm teaching and like you know, and you're like, oh

697
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, it just open your eyes a whole nother world,

698
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, and they're a wonderful community, and so yeah,

699
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: I've learnt a lot and I'll keep learning. I'll always

700
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: keep learning.

701
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: I love that you've got such a thirst for learning

702
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: and a curiosity which strives obviously everything you do from

703
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: a business side, or for anyone listening who perhaps isn't

704
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: in sort of the same child focused or even music,

705
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: which is anyone who's building a YouTube. You mentioned there's

706
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: a lot of analytics like I, for example, don't know

707
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: anything about YouTube. I feel like I'm really well acquainted

708
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 2: with the platforms that I have and podcasting, but YouTube's

709
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: a whole other world. So you're obviously responding to the

710
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: analytics you're getting about what's popular and what videos work

711
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: well and what doesn't. And I also want to ask

712
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: you if that surprises you sometimes, but also monetizing it

713
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: and making it your career, how does that work? So

714
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 2: for Instagram, for example, it's I think most people know

715
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: how that works. A brand will come to you and

716
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: they'll ex give you a brief to create content as

717
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: part of a partnership, and then you'll create a piece

718
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: of content and then it's marked as a paid partnershiphereas

719
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: I think YouTube works quite differently, So how do you

720
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: build a career out of your YouTube content?

721
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: Yep, So to get monetized you need one thousand subscribers

722
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: and four thousand watch hours.

723
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: Oh see, I didn't even know that.

724
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so then you get invite to the YouTube partner

725
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: program and so that's how you can start to monetize

726
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: your content. And then I guess the whole YouTube game

727
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: is just all about being consistent, you know, just making

728
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: sure that you are putting content out there. It doesn't

729
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: need to be a video every two days or every

730
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: three days. It can be as you know, for us,

731
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: it's once every four weeks and that's consistent. We still

732
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: get views and we're still growing at that rate, but

733
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: we're consistent. So just making sure that you are consistent

734
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: is a huge part. Looking at retention and analytics, so

735
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: really start to understand the platform. The best thing you

736
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: can do is just learn. There's so many great businesses

737
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: out there that can help, and there's help out there

738
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: for free, So just keep learning about the analytics side,

739
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: understand your audience, like make sure you know what's out there,

740
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: what's already working, what does your audience want, and then

741
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: get that feedback on your own videos and make the adjustment.

742
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's a beautiful thing about YouTube versus

743
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: broadcast TV is that you're getting those analytics almost like

744
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: in real time, and you're able to go and look

745
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: through and go, oh, okay, well that retention dropped at

746
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: three minutes in because I did this. Okay, Well, so yeah,

747
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: it's like to the second you can see how your

748
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: audience is viewing. So yeah, it's really great and it

749
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: helps a lot.

750
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: And so do YouTubers make the same So just say

751
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: there was another channel that had the exact same number

752
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: of followers as you, and they put up the exact

753
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: same length of videos with the exact same regularity. Just hypothetically,

754
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: would you both earn the same.

755
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: No, So it all comes down to the ads. Advertising.

756
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: This is all Nelson talk, by.

757
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: The way, because I don't know any of this.

758
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's really great to learn. Like, so we

759
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: get paid through advertising, and so it also depends on

760
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: your channel, like your genre and who you're serving, and

761
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: so those ads go you know, like business channels sort

762
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: of make a higher CPM cost per thousand, oh jeez.

763
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so but you can obviously because it's a

764
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: children's channel, your ads that would be running on your

765
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: videos are different to sort of adult channels, right.

766
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's kind of it's not many people know this,

767
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: but you don't technically earn any money from the YouTube

768
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: Kids app. So if you're viewing our videos on the

769
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: YouTube Kids app, we're not getting any money from them.

770
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know. And so technically they say they

771
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: run ads, but no one ever sees them on YouTube Kids,

772
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: so we do make our money from ad revenue on

773
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: may YouTube. Yeah, so that's important to note, especially for kids.

774
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: Grown up channels are completely different. They can earn a

775
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: lot more so kids channels are sort of in a

776
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: different boat there.

777
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, okay, And so it's based on like the

778
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: number of views you get and the number of ads

779
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 2: and the kind of ads that run over that channel.

780
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly right, Oh so interesting.

781
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: And so when you go and look at your analytics,

782
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 2: what are your most popular songs and videos and then

783
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: what surprises you like? Which ones did you think go

784
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: better and they didn't, and then the reverse well.

785
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: Our construction episode, well, I guess it didn't have full

786
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: construction in it, but it had me with a construction

787
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: hat on and holding a truck that sound most viewed episode.

788
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: Well that's all me. Yeah, dig push rolls, construction crew,

789
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: beautiful things. All the views were me. Yeah, I love

790
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 2: well Teddy so yeah, construction, monster, truck.

791
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: And dinosaurs are huge, yes, yes, yeah, And often when

792
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm meeting little kids, they just it's always oh, dinosaur,

793
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: the construction song, that sort of thing. So, I mean

794
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't really surprise me because we've got kids and

795
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: like you know.

796
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: What sailor to those things, you know what I mean, like.

797
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: Like, oh, you're really obsessed with wheels, okay, like you know,

798
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 1: and you're okay, so.

799
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: Sure dude, cool. Great.

800
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: So we're just trying to find the balance of like, okay,

801
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: well what do parents want as well? Like parents want

802
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: to show their kids. Potty training is like a huge

803
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: one that's been requested, but I just don't know how

804
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: to do it yet. Yeah, I don't know how to

805
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: pull it off.

806
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: So you'll sit on an idea and then we'll sit

807
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: on an idea. Wow, I'm not intended, but I was like,

808
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: where going with this, you'll sit on the potty and

809
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: you'll think about it, think about it. Yeah, And I

810
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: need a good partty song and I don't have one,

811
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: so do you know what I mean?

812
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: Like I'd like to serve that, you know, because I

813
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: know adults like it, but also would it be helpful

814
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: to kids? I don't know, you know. And now I've

815
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: got this affirmations video, which I'm so proud of. I

816
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: think it's beautiful. I've just demonstrated so many different ways

817
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: to you know, incorporate rate like oh my, my dump

818
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: truck's broken. Oh no, let's say some special words. Let's

819
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: say I can fix it. And you know, I'm really

820
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: proud of it, and I hope it does well. But

821
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, because I feel like it's like,

822
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, the vegetable of the videos, but I've put

823
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: in I've put in construction stuff into it to try

824
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: and hide the veggies, do you know what I mean?

825
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: So well, like who knows? Hopefully it does well because

826
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: I like, I think it's so great for kids to

827
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, have those affirmations in their head and just

828
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: feel more confident in themselves. But we'll see otherwise, just

829
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: back to dinosaurs.

830
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: Do your kids watch you or are they like they

831
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: can't because they do.

832
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: No, they do the miss miss mummy to them, that's missing,

833
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: But they do. My son, he's so engaged. My daughter,

834
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: she's like, she runs the show Mummy. That's a bit boring.

835
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, babe, harsh critic, you're not my demo exactly exactly.

836
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: I was like, you can't speak. But now's she like

837
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: understands what we do and that it's our work, and

838
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: she's like all over and she you know, makes suggestions

839
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: and things like that. It's great. But our son, he's like, really,

840
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: I love it. I get the feeling that I imagine parents

841
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: get the feeling when they see their kid respond and

842
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, she's like talking to me. You know,

843
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: I understand that feeling, and I know how special that

844
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: is and how much that can mean to a parent

845
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: because I'm kind of experiencing it as if it's not

846
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: me on the skime, you know what I mean.

847
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And another thing we talk a lot about

848
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: on the show is the definition of success and whether

849
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: or not success is even a metric. I think a

850
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: lot of people spend their earlier career chasing that kind

851
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: of elusive goal and then later on in life it

852
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: becomes it. You're just trying to find fulfillment and happiness

853
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: and peace. How do you measure success or value in

854
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: your life? And like, do you feel successful now or

855
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: is there a goal that you want to achieve for

856
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 2: missmoney that you'd be like, yes, that's it, or have

857
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: you already done that by knowing that families watch you

858
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: all the time?

859
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit of both, I guess, like for us,

860
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: the success comes from connection, like just knowing, Like I

861
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: get messages from parents every day and so I kind

862
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: of measured by that, like, oh I have I you know?

863
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: Is that increasing over time? When I leave the house now,

864
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm getting recognized more and more, which has been really

865
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: nice because I get to meet kids.

866
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: You know, Teddy would lose his actual shit. He'd just

867
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: be like, well, that's the thing. Sometimes I feel a

868
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: bit like because I did it.

869
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: I've done a couple of ment greets and sometimes it

870
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: doesn't put me off. But sometimes I see that the

871
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: kid is just in shock, and I get it's fine,

872
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: like because sometimes they're either just completely blank, other times

873
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: they run up and hug me. You just never know

874
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: what you're getting so then when the kid who's in shock,

875
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: who's maybe they're in their line, They're like, oh my gosh,

876
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: Miss Morney's over there, and then they get up to

877
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: me and then they just shut down and the parent

878
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: is like, oh my gosh, but you were so excited.

879
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: Then I feel sorry for the parent because they were

880
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: expecting their kid, you know what I mean, Like we

881
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: just never really know. But I love meeting them anyway.

882
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, connection is a huge part. I would love

883
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: to be like a household name, especially in Neualia and like, yeah,

884
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I just it would just mean so much

885
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: to know that our content is connecting with more kids,

886
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: and especially in Australia across the globe. But just I

887
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: know that I won't always be for everyone, but it's

888
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: just nice knowing that there are kids who are connecting

889
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: and learning and I'm a part of their learning journey.

890
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: Like that's so fulfilling. So I do feel really successful

891
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: already where I'm at, but I want to do more,

892
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: Like I want to give more. I want to I

893
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: want to help more. I want to just be there

894
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: for more kids.

895
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: And because you're so passionate about what you do, I imagine

896
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 2: that switching off, and because your platform is online which

897
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: has no opening and clothes hours, Yeah, how do you

898
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: switch off? Do you make yourself do things in the

899
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: analogue world, like what's your joy or your gay outside

900
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: of what.

901
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: You do well, spending time with the kids, Like we

902
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: just try and be really present, Like I'll just notice

903
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: if I've been on my phone and I'll just be like, no,

904
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to deal with social media tonight. Let's just

905
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: go and play in the player and go outside, Let's

906
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: go for a walk to the park or just I

907
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: think main thing is we love going to playgrounds with

908
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: the kids. We're just just the simple things, like just

909
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: not too much with real home bodies as well, but

910
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: we just love like being present with the kids and

911
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: just playing. And I'm learning from them as well when

912
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: they're playing, and then that also helps me with what

913
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: I do. So it just really feeds in together. The

914
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: lines are a little blurred, you know, but it's fine,

915
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: like because we really enjoy what we're doing, so it

916
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like work at all. And so but you know,

917
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: I wake up really early and I do work before

918
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: the kids are up. And then if our daughters are

919
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: on a kindie day, I'll get a bit more done.

920
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: But other than that, like Nelson works often a lot

921
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: at night, and so we just work around the kids.

922
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: But also we don't put work ahead of the kids,

923
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: so we're able to do that, which is really lucky

924
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: because I know that a lot of people they can't

925
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: do that, so I know we're in such a great

926
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: position to do that. So yeah, I feel like it

927
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: just works really well together that it all just feels

928
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: like really joyful. Oh that's so, it's really nice.

00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 2: to save it for you. One of them is a banger,

937
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: like you have this bridge in one of them, and

938
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 2: it's like it should be on the chart. I can't
