Speaker 2: about one so we just recorded it a cup but no.
Speaker 1: What's hilarious is when one of us does answer. One
Speaker 1: of us is at a wedding, like fully doled up
Speaker 1: out on the dance floor, and the other one is
Speaker 1: in there pajamas in bed, or you're with your housemates.
Speaker 3: Las just picked up and they were like, and I
Speaker 3: didn't say anything.
Speaker 2: You were dancing and hung up and they're like, I
Speaker 2: was like, without context, that.
Speaker 1: Looks so strange. And one of us can't hear anything, like.
Speaker 3: The one, the one dancing, it's like.
Speaker 2: And the other one's like hi, and you're just like
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: You do the thumbs up. Oh my god, my so
Speaker 1: lame we go. It has been a long towel.
Speaker 3: Lovely to see you. I actually physically haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: I know how long has it been since that last episode?
Speaker 3: Actually like one day.
Speaker 1: No, it's been since. I haven't seen you since Sydney,
Speaker 1: so that actually means that, yahborhood, if you were at
Speaker 1: the Sydney event, I have seen you almost more recently
Speaker 1: than I.
Speaker 3: Seen It's been a busy time for both of us.
Speaker 1: It's been a busy towel. We said that every time,
Speaker 1: but every time it's almost April.
Speaker 3: I can't speak like a nor human. I need to
Speaker 3: stop April.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we did, well ied, I need to stop promising,
Speaker 1: and it just acknowledged that I'd never keep my promises.
Speaker 1: I promised a sort of wrap episode on our in
Speaker 1: real life events, which were I still don't have words.
Speaker 1: I hated how I always say I don't have words
Speaker 1: and then I proceed to give you lots of words.
Speaker 1: But I really was at a loss for words. They
Speaker 1: were the most special return to in real life events.
Speaker 1: And now I think our Melbourne one was like a
Speaker 1: full month ago. Yeah, so oh yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: it was one two. Sydney was two weeks three. Melbourne
Speaker 1: was nearly four weeks ago. Valandine's was a Valentine Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was right. So we had that, and then we
Speaker 1: followed it up in Sydney the week after. And again
Speaker 1: I hate when Instagram people say due to popular demand
Speaker 1: or like so many people asked in my dms, but
Speaker 1: literally so many people asked us to come to Sydney.
Speaker 1: So we booked it the week later and that was
Speaker 1: the most fun. And then I've had a little bit
Speaker 1: of an ata since, a bit of a Surger Rooney,
Speaker 1: bit of a tough time, and you were away, and
Speaker 1: so I did not fulfill my promise, but I was Bermuda.
Speaker 3: Presents to do what you please.
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know Bermuda, I think we've again.
Speaker 1: I feel like if you listen to the show, you
Speaker 1: know our language. By now you know Bermuda. You know
Speaker 1: what else do we have that people know that they
Speaker 1: know player people actually talk to me about in real life.
Speaker 3: Also, I was just gonna ask you, is Bermuda something
Speaker 3: we made up? Or is that everything?
Speaker 1: Oh well, I think when people get lost, like obviously
Speaker 1: you are in the Bermuda triangle and then we just
Speaker 1: made it into emotionally Bermuda.
Speaker 3: Like I didn't know, I'm not going to text you,
Speaker 3: I'm not available, Okay, I was, but old mate, like
Speaker 3: my old mate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like person, yeah, my lumley, your lom lay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your lumlay, your lummel. Yeah. It was like, we
Speaker 1: need to explain that. Also, it's love of my life?
Speaker 3: How do you know that?
Speaker 4: Also?
Speaker 3: I thought, it's it's like I have makes sense?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? How do I know that I
Speaker 1: do live on the We say is.
Speaker 3: A bourgeois version.
Speaker 2: At the end, we just add anyway, yeah, message me
Speaker 2: yesterday goes by the way, I'm just gonna have a
Speaker 2: Bermuda day tomorrow, just for you to know.
Speaker 3: And I was like, of course any time.
Speaker 1: But I was like, did she get that from us
Speaker 1: or did she get that because normal people?
Speaker 2: Well that's what I was asking you. I was like,
Speaker 2: is that is that a common thing or did or
Speaker 2: is she just being really.
Speaker 1: Attentive and know that we I think she's been really
Speaker 1: attentive because I don't know anyone else. I think they
Speaker 1: would understand without explanation if we said I'm just in Bermuda,
Speaker 1: they'd get it. But I've never heard anyone else she.
Speaker 3: Said I'm having a Bermuda datis Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've never heard anyone else. And has also started doing
Speaker 1: this thing where whenever anything is cute, like oh she
Speaker 1: says and I think she's saying Paul and she's not.
Speaker 1: Paul is also right next to us today we're recording
Speaker 1: from home. Anyway, Sorry it had I was Bermuda. We
Speaker 1: have had a little hiatus. It was like episodes still
Speaker 1: came your way. Australian First Stories, best episode. Loved it
Speaker 1: so much. Shout out again to Lauren Harney, who got
Speaker 1: us onto Australian Bad Stories, is the biggest fan girl
Speaker 1: and got married. I know my child got married since then,
Speaker 1: which is so exciting. So a lot's happened. But I
Speaker 1: do apologize for not getting the wrap out in a
Speaker 1: current fashion because Bermuda feeling much better now we are
Speaker 1: reunited and let's catch up for the night.
Speaker 2: I know we actually happened because I left that night
Speaker 2: because that did work the next day and then even
Speaker 2: Sydney and left the next morning morning.
Speaker 3: With the early so we had text catch ups. We
Speaker 3: haven't actually had a physical.
Speaker 1: And we did actually have a few texts being like
Speaker 1: hold on wait, we haven't actually download how amazing y.
Speaker 2: I feel like the Melbourne event we went in being
Speaker 2: like not really anticipating or envisioning.
Speaker 3: What we thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2: We had vague ideas of activities. Like Sarah on the
Speaker 2: day was like, so we're gonna have activities and I'm
Speaker 2: are we and She's like, oh, yeah, we probably should.
Speaker 3: You're true?
Speaker 1: Can you like get some card to like write no.
Speaker 1: This is like forty five minutes before we were I.
Speaker 2: Went to the news agency and I a white blank
Speaker 2: piece like we were like, should we get food? So
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, yeahsket Like we just didn't really
Speaker 2: know what to expect.
Speaker 3: We didn't even look at what the venue looked like.
Speaker 1: And I was what we didn't I didn't know what
Speaker 1: we're going to be standing.
Speaker 2: We didn't know what the We didn't really look into
Speaker 2: who was going. We just had the numbers, which is nice.
Speaker 2: I feel like the both of us going and completely
Speaker 2: blind was the best thing. It was that we were
Speaker 2: very pleasantly surprised at how fun it.
Speaker 1: Was, and I think it was like, it's terrible actually
Speaker 1: that behind the scenes we had no idea like NFI
Speaker 1: before we got there, very disorganized, but it did turn
Speaker 1: out so lovely because we had no expectations, Like we
Speaker 1: just literally booked pen and Picasso and we in theory
Speaker 1: thought it would be a really fun time, but we
Speaker 1: didn't know how it was going to turn out. And
Speaker 1: you guys trusted us to give you a really fun night,
Speaker 1: and that alone I don't take for granted at all.
Speaker 1: Like people started arriving and I was like, these are
Speaker 1: real life humans who actually listen to the show, who
Speaker 1: actually know stuff that we've talked about, and were so
Speaker 1: stoked to be there in person. And after like over
Speaker 1: three years without any real life interactions with the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: it was like you and I were in clover the
Speaker 1: entire time. We were just like sitting next to people
Speaker 1: and not paying attention to our own paintings, just making
Speaker 1: our way around original Hi, tell me about you, tell
Speaker 1: me about your love.
Speaker 2: Every now and then would make eye condact instead of
Speaker 2: be like now now, and I'm like now what what now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we thought we had a code and we were
Speaker 1: not the same language.
Speaker 2: But the best thing about it, I realized is that
Speaker 2: your community is so great that everyone just talked to
Speaker 2: each other like it wasn't There was not even an
Speaker 2: instance of awkwardness.
Speaker 3: But you know when sometimes at the start it's a
Speaker 3: bit like.
Speaker 2: Hi anyway, and everyone was just like, Hi, I'm this
Speaker 2: person high on this and then everyone just sat in
Speaker 2: there whatever they wanted to sit and had Georgie. I
Speaker 2: sent next to Georgie that night, shout out to Georgie.
Speaker 2: She'll hate me for this, but Georgie was one of
Speaker 2: a solo ticket purchaser.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, said.
Speaker 3: That her year.
Speaker 2: This year, one of her goals was to do things
Speaker 2: that make her uncomfortable to like I guess, you know,
Speaker 2: grow and learn more about herself, and so this was
Speaker 2: one of them. And she started doing different things on
Speaker 2: her own, like joined like a basketball team I think
Speaker 2: or something and literally played a literally yeah, and SO
Speaker 2: had anxiety all day being like sure did they go?
Speaker 3: Should I not go? Should go?
Speaker 1: She really pulled out, nearly pulled.
Speaker 2: Out, This ended up coming and being like so glad
Speaker 2: I came. I was like, I'm so sor for you're lost,
Speaker 2: you see next to me.
Speaker 3: Were welcome to leave at any point? Sucked, but yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Then so Georgie came solo as a means of leaning
Speaker 2: into the discomfortable, which I thought was so nice.
Speaker 1: And I still can't believe that more than half of
Speaker 1: both the events were solo tickets, Like I just thought
Speaker 1: maybe they were all like they they did their transactions
Speaker 1: separately but were friends. But then when people started turning
Speaker 1: up on the night and came alone, and then again
Speaker 1: like the trust that they would meet like minded people
Speaker 1: and feel safe and it wouldn't be awkward. Like Tasma
Speaker 1: who came to the Melbourne event. She came by herself,
Speaker 1: and she'd had a really hard time moving states during
Speaker 1: COVID and you know, it's impossible to make friends when
Speaker 1: we were in lockdown, and this was like one of
Speaker 1: her first times of coming to make friends, and.
Speaker 3: She made a friend.
Speaker 1: It was just and they was so like minded, and
Speaker 1: it just I can't even explain how happy. Like you
Speaker 1: saw my face, Yeah, my face was so sore, my
Speaker 1: cheeks were like yeah.
Speaker 3: And I was feeling like, this.
Speaker 2: Is the first actual SEAS event. I think in the past,
Speaker 2: you've done the live like interviews for another brand or
Speaker 2: another event where you're like a panelist or a speaker,
Speaker 2: but it's never been like just Seas.
Speaker 3: People would be so nice.
Speaker 2: So it was all people that you weren't trying to,
Speaker 2: you know, expected to his new Seas probably better than
Speaker 2: I would know.
Speaker 1: Seeds probably listened to.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I read your book and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I actually still haven't.
Speaker 1: I just read the pages about.
Speaker 3: And that's it.
Speaker 1: But the cutest activity that you came up with, which
Speaker 1: I loved is so much and now we have to
Speaker 1: do it at every event ever. And that was the thing.
Speaker 1: We have done a couple of c specific events, but
Speaker 1: they were live episodes, so the audience didn't have any
Speaker 1: participation like they could do Q and A, but they
Speaker 1: didn't meet each other. So one way to make sure
Speaker 1: without being super wanky, it was kind of wanky, but
Speaker 1: it was cute wanky was to make sure everyone spoke
Speaker 1: to everyone else in the room, but without it being awkward,
Speaker 1: was and wrote everyone because it was Valentine's Day or
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day or Valentin's Day, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: and wrote everyone hand written love letters with their name
Speaker 1: when we went through the list, but then put them
Speaker 1: randomly behind people's easels and art boards or canvases. And
Speaker 1: then halfway through, guys, you've all got a secret note.
Speaker 1: It's addressed to someone else, but you have to go
Speaker 1: and find who it's for. So you had to go
Speaker 1: and talk to everyone to figure out who was the
Speaker 1: person whose name it was and it was the best activity.
Speaker 3: I got so invested. They were like straight off their
Speaker 3: seats with this card being like hello.
Speaker 2: Are you Claire, g are you Claire? F are you
Speaker 2: Stacey Donovan?
Speaker 1: Are you like this?
Speaker 3: Like all these random names and whatever.
Speaker 1: And they all found each other.
Speaker 3: It was so sweet and they were like, we were
Speaker 3: like proud moms.
Speaker 1: We were such proud mum.
Speaker 2: But I think I've got a video of Sarah like
Speaker 2: watching and filming being like proud mom.
Speaker 1: I was emotional.
Speaker 3: It was so sweet.
Speaker 1: But also because the notes that you wrote were like
Speaker 1: your elbow is so cute. Yeah, your toes to belong
Speaker 1: on early fans, beautiful toes, A beautiful toes? Who had
Speaker 1: beautiful toes? I don't I think it was Fee Maybe.
Speaker 3: Yeah either Fee, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Teresa, Teresa and Theresa's man, everyone's suttling at my toes.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't want your fun. We also have
Speaker 1: to shout out Lauren, who didn't come to Sydney.
Speaker 2: No to Melbourne. Remember Laura and Sydney and Lauren booked
Speaker 2: five tickets.
Speaker 1: That was Sydney, Okay, Melbourne.
Speaker 2: First of all, Lauren booked five tickets and we were like,
Speaker 2: who's this five, And then throughout the night we're like
Speaker 2: Lauren in the corner, and then all the Lauren's friends.
Speaker 3: All the sudden we're like, Lauren's not here, and.
Speaker 6: We're like, what, Laurence seconds of friends, didn't you go
Speaker 6: on a date? She went on led and then we
Speaker 6: just tagged her and everything, but everyone except.
Speaker 3: Lauren Lauren Jolly, I even know the last name.
Speaker 1: My funnest thing was people being like, Hi, I'm Teresa.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, Theresa. Like I got so
Speaker 1: excited to know so many names that Terresa wrote me
Speaker 1: the most beautiful letters, which was so lovely, and I
Speaker 1: love that. It was because she's like, I might not
Speaker 1: get it out in person, so I have to make
Speaker 1: sure I say it properly.
Speaker 3: It was just so beautiful.
Speaker 1: And Karen was it. And Karen brought her boyfriend along
Speaker 1: and he was so participating, participatory. The word his cow
Speaker 1: was like fully advanced, be good.
Speaker 3: My cow was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Also. Melbourne was really upset, but Sydney got cows.
Speaker 3: Really we didn't know that you could do the cows.
Speaker 2: See, that's part of our disorganization was that I wrote
Speaker 2: those Valentine's cards or yeah, but neither of us logistically
Speaker 2: actually thought about.
Speaker 1: How it would roll out.
Speaker 2: And then Sarah was just like Sarah's like, so you
Speaker 2: will get that ready? I was like, of course, because
Speaker 2: she had no idea I was doing. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm just going to hide it in this easily and
Speaker 2: walk around.
Speaker 1: And it just worked well.
Speaker 3: But like how funny though highlight of Sydney.
Speaker 2: I feel two things happened before each of the events,
Speaker 2: as in one thing of each event. So the first
Speaker 2: thing that happened in Melbourne we rock up psyching the
Speaker 2: grazing board. Ready, Bianca walks in and goes Angeline, and
Speaker 2: I was like, what.
Speaker 1: Was the arts who led the class and.
Speaker 2: Who is just had had just been promoted that day
Speaker 2: to manager, so huge props to beincar. Anyway, Bianca walks in,
Speaker 2: I was like, get out of town. She goes what
Speaker 2: even turns out? So Bianca is my neighbor from when.
Speaker 1: I was small, since I was zero years old.
Speaker 2: Like no kiddings in the Prestonia. She was like her sister,
Speaker 2: like she grew up in between Katherin and Jen. Jen
Speaker 2: grew up with Kiara, who's her sister. So We all
Speaker 2: went to the same primary school, and then.
Speaker 1: We used to go to their primary school.
Speaker 3: The house. We used to go to their house and
Speaker 3: use their pool. And we still are neighbors, like they
Speaker 3: still live next.
Speaker 1: To really yeah I tear parents.
Speaker 3: Yeah so I still I just don't.
Speaker 2: We just don't see each other often because obviously we
Speaker 2: got lives and then we got lives.
Speaker 1: Okay, speak for yourself.
Speaker 3: How crazy that, out of.
Speaker 2: All people to be running that class, this banker from
Speaker 2: my childhood.
Speaker 1: It was so nice, And shout out to Bianca, Nellie,
Speaker 1: Isaac and Amilia who were the four so we also
Speaker 1: have to shout out. Of course, Pancaso was at the ERA,
Speaker 1: and Pino and Pocasso around Wick and the incredible art
Speaker 1: leaders who directed us through the classes. They were a vibe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were really really good, really good.
Speaker 1: They fully embraced the neighborhood like we don't know what
Speaker 1: this is, but we're going to listen now. Yes, so lovely,
Speaker 1: and they got involved.
Speaker 3: They helped like manage the minions.
Speaker 1: They were so good the minion, which is you. Also,
Speaker 1: the cutest thing that happened was the first two people
Speaker 1: who arrived with this beautiful couple who had been given
Speaker 1: a voucher. They'd been gifted a gift voucher to do
Speaker 1: the class and had booked it, and they must have
Speaker 1: like snuck in and booked before we had reserved the
Speaker 1: entire venue for the event. And so I think, what
Speaker 1: happens when like there's not enough people to fill a
Speaker 1: whole class and then a booking comes in, They just
Speaker 1: cancel that and reallocate the giftouchers to a different day.
Speaker 1: But they hadn't got the email of this couple, so
Speaker 1: they still rocked up and I gave them the biggest
Speaker 1: sees the yay welcome, Oh my god, the yighborhood, honestly,
Speaker 1: and the first people to arrive in the staring like her,
Speaker 1: oh my god, why we're getting such a lovely welcome?
Speaker 2: And I was watching being like Sarah, there, she's got
Speaker 2: no idea. She was like yay, yay, yeah, happy happy fund.
Speaker 1: So nice to me. Oh you brought your husband?
Speaker 3: Does he listen?
Speaker 1: And they were just like, oh the fuck is going
Speaker 1: on anyway? And then we figured out that they weren't
Speaker 1: with the neighborhood. But then they were like the pan cars.
Speaker 1: They were like, of course, you can come back any
Speaker 1: other time. Unfortunately, we're painting a cow. They thought they
Speaker 1: were coming to paint like Miami Nights or something, and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I don't really want to do a cow.
Speaker 1: But I was like, look, just join the neighborhood. I
Speaker 1: turned to the husband. I was like, there's going to
Speaker 1: be thirty cute babes here.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna love it.
Speaker 1: And so they stayed and they did all our activities.
Speaker 1: They did all of it. They were so long.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, didn't have a Valentine's card for them, but they
Speaker 2: got around the shampas.
Speaker 1: I got on the track. Did they get a sticker?
Speaker 1: We made put it everywhere? Really your face is cute
Speaker 1: stickers which are so cute and they're now on both
Speaker 1: of our phones and laptops, which is really fun.
Speaker 3: But they were so cute. But it was just the
Speaker 3: funniest thing.
Speaker 2: If I watched back in my brain, Sarah going up
Speaker 2: to them like, oh.
Speaker 3: Thank you Abelhood.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, she's not a freaking idea.
Speaker 2: And they were probably like, I don't.
Speaker 5: Know, they were not eighty.
Speaker 1: Everyone in Sydney you know who we're talking about, And no,
Speaker 1: it would not. They would also be fifty. Oh my God, anyway, movie, I've.
Speaker 3: Just seen some really young looking old people.
Speaker 1: Older people now I have You've got no.
Speaker 3: Age anyway?
Speaker 1: Can I also shout out Hetty as well, because I
Speaker 1: think he was like, she has hung up her paintings
Speaker 1: in her home and I really appreciate. And it's the
Speaker 1: middle of World Pride when we're in Sydney, so the
Speaker 1: vibes were so high, and she did a rainbow cow
Speaker 1: and I copied her. I got inspo from my role
Speaker 1: model heady, So thank you.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Nana.
Speaker 1: Nana from Japan who came twice. Why she slew to
Speaker 1: I kind of just want to like go through the
Speaker 1: guest listed and shut everyone, like it really meant so
Speaker 1: much to meet.
Speaker 3: Your nana just went and rogue the second time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she just painted, but she was such an artist.
Speaker 1: She's really amazing, such an artist. And yet World Pride
Speaker 1: up in Sydney was the best. The night before was
Speaker 1: Maria Fatil's book launch, and Maria has been a guest
Speaker 1: on the show before, and I think I should have
Speaker 1: her back because a lot has happened since then for her,
Speaker 1: and that was so incredibly special, and then what else happened?
Speaker 1: We've had an International Women's Day since then, which was
Speaker 1: the most beautiful celebration. I don't know about you, but
Speaker 1: I had the loveliest week of celebrations of just everything
Speaker 1: that is womanly and wonderful and met more of the
Speaker 1: neighborhood there and it's just been so amazing. But one
Speaker 1: thing I haven't had a chance to do is one
Speaker 1: of the coolest things that happened at our opinion pocast
Speaker 1: of events is we are connected with their beautiful business
Speaker 1: called at the Beep and they create these custom rotary
Speaker 1: phones that they branded for us as a CZA phone
Speaker 1: and painted at gold and made just the most beautiful
Speaker 1: experience where you have at your event or your wedding,
Speaker 1: or your birthday or significant whatever. It is a phone
Speaker 1: where your guests can leave you audio messages or like
Speaker 1: a love note. And so they gave us one for
Speaker 1: the Melbourne event, and everyone at the event just left
Speaker 1: voicemails all through the night for us to listen to.
Speaker 1: And I still haven't listened to them. So I thought
Speaker 1: I should listen to them blind blind, And thought I
Speaker 1: should listened to them blind because I literally haven't. We
Speaker 1: took a little while. It took me a little while
Speaker 1: with the surgery and and everything to send the files
Speaker 1: back and you know, process them all. So now we
Speaker 1: have them all and I want to listen to what
Speaker 1: it's so best idea?
Speaker 2: I like, I wish at the bitbful listening if you
Speaker 2: can make a one that we can portabilize everywhere, that
Speaker 2: would be really what did.
Speaker 7: You just say? I wish we had it at our wedding,
Speaker 7: intelligent day? Intelligent you are lomle with an accent.
Speaker 3: I really wish we'd had out the bad so fun
Speaker 3: it's so it was.
Speaker 2: Actually amazing idea because it's you can add your voice,
Speaker 2: be anonymous, like have happy, happy, fun joy joy vibes, yeah,
Speaker 2: without having to feel so. And I think the vibes
Speaker 2: were just in that day nice for it. Everyone was
Speaker 2: getting around, Everyone was having a lot of fun, funny
Speaker 2: like some like you know when like you're like a
Speaker 2: festival or something and you leave these crazy voice you
Speaker 2: can't even hear yourself.
Speaker 3: Some of them are like that.
Speaker 1: They're like that, like I'm like in like eighty five years.
Speaker 1: But yeah, cool, okay, all right, okay, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm vacated.
Speaker 3: Please look.
Speaker 1: Paul is so pissed off.
Speaker 8: Up.
Speaker 3: Please save your pause till the end of each boice.
Speaker 1: My applause today, say my applause, portable eyes Okay, ready, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Oh my god, Hi Sarah and high yahborhood.
Speaker 9: I just want to shout out to all the lovely
Speaker 9: humans who have been listening to the podcast, because I
Speaker 9: know that it's been a tough few years in Melbourne particularly, but.

Speaker 1: why eyes prickly? And it calls it prickly you know
Speaker 1: how you call you know how you call peckish at

Speaker 1: feel like we should what should we do with these stickers?
Speaker 1: We should do something with them.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But also that wasn't from the stickers. We didn't have
Speaker 2: stickers in Melbourne, so that would have been from I
Speaker 2: think my love letter or something.
Speaker 1: Your face is cute, oh cute, not her elbow, not
Speaker 1: her time about your face anyway. Also, I wasn't originally
Speaker 1: and was originally not free for the Sydney date and

Speaker 1: really hard to get. That's so amazing.
Speaker 3: Who do you think that works? And I don't know.

Speaker 1: but I was it was just such a blur of joy,
Speaker 1: of happy, happy joy.

Speaker 2: to us?
Speaker 3: Had the sourdough business?
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and oh my god, they were so cute,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And that was one of the other
Speaker 1: really cool things about the night was being able to
Speaker 1: share businesses in the neighborhood with each other and connect people.
Speaker 1: Because if we have an event, and we need a
Speaker 1: grazing plate. It's like, I'd rather go to a business
Speaker 1: that's in the neighborhood. I think we need like a directory.
Speaker 2: Well we didn't say this at the start, but we
Speaker 2: actually filmed recorded at Q and A, which will show
Speaker 2: at the end of this episode.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, which was about which.
Speaker 2: Is about where you can hear and meet some of
Speaker 2: the people that came and here some of the cool
Speaker 2: businesses that they have as well. So Anna was one
Speaker 2: of them in the Q and A at the end.

Speaker 14: just actually so fantastic and gorgeous to hear you just
Speaker 14: be part of such a positive environment where everyone's having
Speaker 14: fun and meeting new people and hearing inspiring stories and
Speaker 14: it's just been so gorgeous. And I wanted to say
Speaker 14: thank you for making such an enjoyable shift. And I'm
Speaker 14: going to start listening to the.
Speaker 1: Podcast, so thanks to you. Oh that is so lovely.
Speaker 1: See we're converting people to the so I actually also
Speaker 1: think it's so cool to see people's perception who haven't
Speaker 1: ever heard of the podcast or who haven't ever been
Speaker 1: part of the community, like what it looks like. Is
Speaker 1: it look like a whole group of widows or does
Speaker 1: it look like something really nice is happening. It's so
Speaker 1: cute that you thought it was a really nice community.
Speaker 2: You should have seen sous face as that whole is
Speaker 2: going whole like messages growing fish yet it sure, I know,
Speaker 2: and we had to leave the reaction to the end,
Speaker 2: but it was so sweet.
Speaker 1: My gosh, it's just like makes my heart so happy,
Speaker 1: so happy. I'm such a proud mum.
Speaker 13: Hi, Sarah, and and just wanted to say thank you
Speaker 13: for organizing such a lovely event.
Speaker 3: It was really really.
Speaker 13: Nice meeting you, and I just wanted to let you
Speaker 13: know that I think you're both really lovely, beautiful people
Speaker 13: and we need more people like you in the world.

Speaker 1: Everyone there was so nice and so interesting and just yes,
Speaker 1: so willing to be put of it. It was so special.
Speaker 15: Thank you so much and Sarah and Ange for bringing
Speaker 15: so much joy to our lives, particularly through the Melbourne lockdown.
Speaker 15: You were just a breath of fresh air. And I
Speaker 15: just love hearing from all the different guests from all
Speaker 15: walks of life that you interview. It encourages me to
Speaker 15: research further the people that I may have known or
Speaker 15: not known at all, and I'm so inspired by their
Speaker 15: stories and your stories and your vulnerability and honesty and
Speaker 15: humor and things like your trip to Antarctica. It's inspired
Speaker 15: me to think about going there once in my life,
Speaker 15: and your trip to Egypt, and just keep up the beautiful.
Speaker 10: Neighborhood, neighborhood, keep up being just beautiful people and humans
Speaker 10: that you are, And thank you so much for all
Speaker 10: the joy that you bring.
Speaker 1: Into our lives. That'd be so lovely. I also love
Speaker 1: that I forget that outside of the neighborhood, and the
Speaker 1: podcast is like other stuff like Antarctica and Egypt that
Speaker 1: I kind of weaved in, like we still do rap
Speaker 1: episodes on them, but I forget that. That's also like
Speaker 1: I love just sharing the excitement of things that make
Speaker 1: me excited, and the fact that people actually find it
Speaker 1: interesting as well is such a I know, it's such
Speaker 1: a joy.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out who it is when.
Speaker 1: There's no I know, I know, I wonder if they
Speaker 1: want it to live this or not.
Speaker 3: But it's fun.
Speaker 16: Okay, next time, Hi, Sarah and Ange just wanted to
Speaker 16: say thank you for such a wonderful evening from Lauren

Speaker 5: So yeah, I have a great time.
Speaker 1: Bye Lauren, Lauren. I love that Lauren already had a

Speaker 1: Yeah, and there are so many activities and platios that
Speaker 1: we could do together that would be really fun. Although
Speaker 1: you painting me has really been a highlight. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: just hated me, like your friend Elf.
Speaker 17: Hello, lovely ladies, Sarah. I just want to say thank
Speaker 17: you so much for the event tonight. It's been a
Speaker 17: great time. I've been a long time listener. I just
Speaker 17: think I told you that your podcast and some of
Speaker 17: your episodes and your quotes helped me get through.
Speaker 3: A divorce many like a few years ago.
Speaker 17: And yeah, basically if the days that I couldn't get
Speaker 17: out of bed or didn't want to work, I would
Speaker 17: put on an episode of CCA and feel in a
Speaker 17: much better mood. So thank you so much, eternally grateful.
Speaker 3: Bie.
Speaker 1: I remember crying when we had that conversation, and just
Speaker 1: thinking you never get to hear how an episode or
Speaker 1: a series of episodes reach someone like where in their
Speaker 1: life it reaches them, and so to actually get to
Speaker 1: hear that is such a privilege to think that it
Speaker 1: even like made a tiny amount of difference during a
Speaker 1: really hard time of her life. Oh, that's so special.
Speaker 3: I'm getting Hi, I have a question for ang.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say she's really attractive, really funny,
Speaker 2: and why and how she's so funny anyway from her
Speaker 2: biggest fan and.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. It was just like, no, God,
Speaker 1: this went out because we're not interested in people asking
Speaker 1: me questions and you didn't even know my news straight away?
Speaker 1: How would you say funny? How she so funny? That before?
Speaker 3: And every time it's like, I just.
Speaker 1: You get yourself. You're just like, oh, I'm so funny.
Speaker 3: You even realized it was me every time.
Speaker 4: Hi, Sarah, it's Katie, Katie Kilger underscore as you know.
Speaker 1: I just want to.
Speaker 4: Thank you and your manager and for putting together such
Speaker 4: a lovely night. It was so wholesome and that was
Speaker 4: my word of the year. And I feel like I've
Speaker 4: already ticked it off every day every week this year.
Speaker 4: A huge part of that is your podcast. You're just
Speaker 4: so wholesome, so loving. Your content is so relatable and easy,
Speaker 4: and I think inspires everybody at a different stage in
Speaker 4: their life and they can plug in, plug out. You
Speaker 4: just surround yourself with the most beautiful people and they're
Speaker 4: cald and you're standing across the room waving at me
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: Hi high in person. No.
Speaker 4: I think you are just an incredible, intelligent, beautiful woman.

Speaker 4: built in the neighborhood. I'm so happy to be a
Speaker 4: part of it, and I can't wait for so.
Speaker 1: Much more much lovely, lovely experiences.
Speaker 4: And I wish you all the happiness, all the success
Speaker 4: in the world, and I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 1: I love Katie Kilgore so much. Katie was the first
Speaker 1: person who when she said Hi, I'm Katie. I was like,
Speaker 1: katiekil got underscore and I knew exactly what's because she's
Speaker 1: been such a big support for.
Speaker 5: So many years.
Speaker 2: You turned to me and you pointed out Katie You're like,
Speaker 2: bim bim bim.
Speaker 1: That's Katie kill did I oh my god like.
Speaker 3: And then now of course.
Speaker 1: Katie Kilder on his score. There are so many people
Speaker 1: who have been in the neighborhood for so long and
Speaker 1: I can like literally rattle off their handle because they
Speaker 1: have been that supportive, like like Marie Marie.
Speaker 3: Oh, we love Marie so many people.
Speaker 1: Mary brought so many people, and we love Marie and
Speaker 1: she still just sends so many Marie was the reason
Speaker 1: we chose Cow.
Speaker 3: It was. It's true.

Speaker 3: Message no Marie Sidney.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, Marie. We love you. We love
Speaker 1: you so much. Thank you for bringing you're all your
Speaker 1: friends and being the Cow provider of the ablehood.

Speaker 18: your voicemail, well your voice, I don't know what to
Speaker 18: call that, well, speaking with your weird phone.
Speaker 1: I loved tonight.
Speaker 18: Firstly the excitement of seeing Ange after so long, completely unexpectedly,
Speaker 18: but also just to be here in this beautiful ambiance
Speaker 18: of love and joy, which is what you've done, and
Speaker 18: You've brought all these people together, and it's been one
Speaker 18: of the greatest sessions I've ever had here in the
Speaker 18: studio at Southierra, because everyone's just been so happy and
Speaker 18: the love vibes have just gone off, and I have
Speaker 18: enjoyed every moment. I love you both, keep doing what
Speaker 18: you're doing, and I'm looking forward.
Speaker 1: To seeing you hopefully again soon. Show by show babies.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love it, you know. I love
Speaker 1: so much that the artists who had literally none of
Speaker 1: them had heard of the podcast before and they were
Speaker 1: so they're like fully in the neighborhood now. I love
Speaker 1: that so much.
Speaker 19: One, Hi, Sarah, I just wanted to thank you for
Speaker 19: an amazing CCA community event with the painting session. I
Speaker 19: just wanted to say thank you for empowering women and
Speaker 19: bringing women together and creating a community where we can
Speaker 19: all gather and chat and support each other. And I'm
Speaker 19: looking to look forward tomorrow them.
Speaker 3: Thanks man.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there was so special. Guys. Will put
Speaker 1: a link to at the beep in the show notes
Speaker 1: and on socials as well, because what a gorgeous way
Speaker 1: to capture messages from people.
Speaker 3: You love so fun.
Speaker 1: We were so cute.
Speaker 3: Oh we've got to do it again. Also, we are
Speaker 3: going to do it again.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we've started organizing our third in our Picasso date
Speaker 1: and we are creating a war for a very loving,
Speaker 1: inclusive neighborhood. We're creating a war at this point between
Speaker 1: Brizzy and Adelaide because we've had a really oddly equal
Speaker 1: amount of requests for both. And I mean, eventually, of
Speaker 1: course we'll do both, but we need to know which
Speaker 1: one wants us to come first.
Speaker 3: Yes, genuinely. So if anyone hard enough, you got to
Speaker 3: advocate for that.
Speaker 1: You've got to fight. You've got to fight for what
Speaker 1: you want. You've got to seize. The e doesn't just
Speaker 1: come to you.
Speaker 3: You've got to bring me food for a week.
Speaker 1: Here's my address, and we'll paint you into account girl basically.
Speaker 1: So please, if there's anyone from Brizzy or Adelaide listening
Speaker 1: and you want to join in on the phone, let
Speaker 1: us know so we can make a decision because we're
Speaker 1: very indecisive and obviously terribly disorganized. That was so much fun.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, thank you go so much for coming.
Speaker 1: Everyone made it so special. I'm still in such a high.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to do it again. I wish we'd
Speaker 1: don't organize one like every week in a row. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: which we will, Yeah, we will. And also what are
Speaker 1: other activities that you guys would like to do, like
Speaker 1: should we do ice skating? Winter? Should we do? Like
Speaker 1: what e should we do? Sam?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like another making Actually there's always like a tactile.
Speaker 3: Or something like cooking class or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should get card to do a cooking class.
Speaker 1: Should get class? And I believe there is another little
Speaker 1: audioce near but from the night that we thought we'd
Speaker 1: drop into this episode that we recorded, why do we
Speaker 1: even record with a Q and A?
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, that's right, there's Q and A some
Speaker 2: beautiful questions. It also means that this because this episode
Speaker 2: has really just.
Speaker 3: Revolved around the community.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we wanted as many community voices as we
Speaker 2: could have in this episode. And so the Q and
Speaker 2: A is a mix of questions people had for Sarah
Speaker 2: sharing businesses. Is we had really nice kind of people
Speaker 2: telling other people.
Speaker 3: How much they love them. So, oh my god, it
Speaker 3: was so yeah.
Speaker 2: So I think it's just a really nice change of voice.
Speaker 2: But also to finally get the community onto the podcast
Speaker 2: as well. So it's some really nice questions and very loving,
Speaker 2: wholesome vibe. So hope everyone enjoys us.
Speaker 1: Oh look, everyone's having such a good time. Guys. We
Speaker 1: just asked everyone to take their seats and I was
Speaker 1: too gentle, and I was like, no, no worries, if not,
Speaker 1: don't even worry.
Speaker 2: Everyone else, sit down everyone, if you feel like a
Speaker 2: sit down.
Speaker 1: Want okay, never mind, don't worry, and the and the
Speaker 1: artist was like, everybody sit down, but also, can you
Speaker 1: hear the noises of networking and joy? People are making
Speaker 1: their brand new neighborhood. So now we're going to do
Speaker 1: a little activity where we don't really know how this
Speaker 1: is going to go down, but we thought it'd be
Speaker 1: cute to get the neighborhood involved in these of our lives. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this part of the night is our last break
Speaker 1: before we get into the trees, and then you guys
Speaker 1: are free to do whatever you would like. Network We
Speaker 1: can get some pickies. But we thought it would be
Speaker 1: nice to just record a little a few snippets of
Speaker 1: audio for whoever's willing, ready, willing and able, who wants
Speaker 1: to contribute a question while we're in an intimate space
Speaker 1: or a story about like how long they've been listening,
Speaker 1: or some way that they've sees their ya in the
Speaker 1: last couple of years, or something they've done tonight, a
Speaker 1: person they've met tonight. Anything. Really, we kind of like
Speaker 1: had a plan and then didn't, which is pretty much
Speaker 1: how we roll. Yeah, this is at three pm today.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: She was like Q and A. I was like in
Speaker 1: which direction? And we're like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: So we have a mic.
Speaker 1: And again, if you don't want to do it in
Speaker 1: front of everyone, please leave a message at the beat
Speaker 1: before you go as well. I know how good of
Speaker 1: it literally have to beat, But if anyone would like
Speaker 1: to share anything or ask anything, we have a roving mic.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, this is good.
Speaker 3: This is Katie Kilgore.
Speaker 1: Everyone at Katie Kilgore, who has been a fan of
Speaker 1: the podcast for a really long time, and it is
Speaker 1: so lovely to meet you. Katie Kilgore. Okay, check one
Speaker 1: two how Katie.
Speaker 4: I was like, if I don't write it down, I
Speaker 4: will forget. That's only one, so don't get too excited.
Speaker 4: How do you work through the priority factors in seizing
Speaker 4: an opportunity?
Speaker 1: Because we can do anything, but not everything. Oh my gosh, well.
Speaker 3: Done, Katie.
Speaker 1: That is a very yay question. I love you very much.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the years of support. It means so much.
Speaker 1: I'm not very good at it, is my short answer.
Speaker 1: I think, and has been there for all of the
Speaker 1: getting the prioritization right and also getting it very wrong,
Speaker 1: as has Ena, who's another one of my close friends.
Speaker 1: And really our friendships are based on mutual mental breakdowns
Speaker 1: and supporting each other through those. So I feel like
Speaker 1: with every part of seizing the A is a lot
Speaker 1: of NATA, and the energy management and prioritization is probably
Speaker 1: the hardest part because we live in a time where
Speaker 1: there are so many opportunities and there's so much possible
Speaker 1: is there's so much on. Finally we're back out in
Speaker 1: the world and it's so exciting, but definitely the last
Speaker 1: year of having a bit of freedom to move again
Speaker 1: but without remembering all your strategies from before about how
Speaker 1: to pace yourself has been a lot of burnt out
Speaker 1: days in my last three hundred and sixty five. But
Speaker 1: I think you guys know, I always come back to
Speaker 1: a quote, and I think the one in this area
Speaker 1: that really helps is I try to be a yes person,
Speaker 1: which then sometimes you say yes to too many things
Speaker 1: and it takes the joy out of each one. So
Speaker 1: remembering that every time you say yes to something, you're
Speaker 1: saying no to something else, like that there's both sides
Speaker 1: of that coin. And usually the yes to something else
Speaker 1: is no to something in your area, like it's your
Speaker 1: energy or your time, or if you can kind of
Speaker 1: reframe things to think, oh, if I say yes to that,
Speaker 1: that's no to my only rest day, or no to
Speaker 1: my Valentine's dinner, or no to time with my family,
Speaker 1: then becomes a bit easier to realize what your what
Speaker 1: it costs you to say yes, rather than just thinking yes,
Speaker 1: it's a good thing and that's the end of the story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm not an expert and probably not the right
Speaker 1: person to us. I'm not regular that.
Speaker 3: Great question.
Speaker 1: Go Katie. Literally Katie walked in the door and I
Speaker 1: was like, it's Kati kill gone, It's at Katie kil
Speaker 1: go on, It's gone. Oh my god. Also, if anyone
Speaker 1: here has a business or is themselves a business or
Speaker 1: a service, please follow each other. Please use this to
Speaker 1: get like twenty seven new followers, and please if you
Speaker 1: don't get the chance to do that, send us your
Speaker 1: tags and in like a follow up email, we can
Speaker 1: send a list if you want to follow everyone who
Speaker 1: is here, because I feel like that's the beautiful part
Speaker 1: of the yighborhood is supporting each other, and even for
Speaker 1: things like this we were looking for like obviously we
Speaker 1: were a bit disorganized. We were like, who can do
Speaker 1: cheese boards? Like we should have reached out to the
Speaker 1: neighborhood and said, like, whose business makes cheeseboards? We should
Speaker 1: do that a little bit more. So, please reach out
Speaker 1: if any of you want support or you know, want
Speaker 1: to be part of the next event. So anyone else
Speaker 1: got anything to add stop it?

Speaker 11: But I just want to encourage my friend Anna. He's
Speaker 11: been fantastic she h yeah, bakes sourdough and has been
Speaker 11: an amazing friend. And as I said, with the cheeseboard,
Speaker 11: making like if I was a friend in need and
Speaker 11: she helped me set up a baby shower in the
Speaker 11: midst of the COVID pandemic. Obviously we limited to ten people.
Speaker 11: So yeah, yeah, so so Anna is fantastic and I
Speaker 11: just want to give it all the support and to
Speaker 11: seize her yay.

Speaker 1: handle Anna with three ends and then t o U
Speaker 1: and if anyone is at custom so orders.
Speaker 6: Yes, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: I think we just made this side hustle of business,
Speaker 1: all right, oh Aina, who also needs to give herself
Speaker 1: a plug because incredible business woman? Of course you can.
Speaker 1: Can I stand not very many people say that I do.
Speaker 1: I stand in the mark. Let me at it. Hi, everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Ana.
Speaker 12: I actually wanted to grab this microphone and give the
Speaker 12: world of credit to my beautiful friend Sarah because she
Speaker 12: is someone listen to how emotional I already am I'm
Speaker 12: like not even a very emotional person.
Speaker 1: As most of you know, because you're all here.
Speaker 12: Sarah is one of the most loving and giving and
Speaker 12: sunshine humans in the world. And she gives and gives
Speaker 12: and gives and gives to everyone else and very rarely
Speaker 12: ever expects anything in return. And you have impacted so
Speaker 12: many people's lives and you are just amazing.
Speaker 1: And we love so much.
Speaker 12: And honestly like you are the Yati, we are.
Speaker 1: You, and I feel like you have to you have
Speaker 1: to shout yourself out as well, but everyone I also
Speaker 1: have to just give a little bit of context. So
Speaker 1: we random like random intersections of we went to UNI together.
Speaker 1: I went to UNI with eaters, three, three boyfriends ago.
Speaker 12: That was our very first connect that really sounded like
Speaker 12: I went to UNI.
Speaker 1: With three boyfriends, boyfriends all three And then we were
Speaker 1: at the same law firm. And then but we didn't
Speaker 1: know each other really no, no, but you were ahead
Speaker 1: of my department, which is so strange. And then went
Speaker 1: out on her own, made the shift almost to being
Speaker 1: out on your own. From the she could buy herself
Speaker 1: flowers and from the corporate career was that you were
Speaker 1: the person who gave me my first ever speaking gig.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that at Litmod's Yeah, well, oh my god, no,
Speaker 1: but yeah, and I had a powerfus I've never done before.
Speaker 1: And now Ina is fully out on her own, coaching
Speaker 1: other women and creating her own beautiful community, which I
Speaker 1: think you should give a little bit more of a clug.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, same, she's work life, mama. Everyone please get
Speaker 1: your phones out again. It's work dot and it's the
Speaker 1: first one that comes. Well I got left. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 12: And just for more context, this is really funny and
Speaker 12: such a beautiful testament to how like the why like
Speaker 12: in your social media is so incredible for meeting community,
Speaker 12: even though I can often get such a bad rap.
Speaker 12: I actually met Sarah and Nick because they came to
Speaker 12: a brunch that I was having with someone else and
Speaker 12: like not with a boyfriend though friend date Sally O'Neil.
Speaker 12: And then these two wrapped up and oh, my god,
Speaker 12: high and then I was like.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're going high.
Speaker 12: And then we had all these connections and this was like, gosh,
Speaker 12: like eight years ago or something like that now. But yeah,
Speaker 12: So I'm I am a business mentor and confidence coach.
Speaker 12: Particularly I work with mummers. So my story was that
Speaker 12: I went, I left a very long corporate career to
Speaker 12: start a business on maternity leave. And really my mission
Speaker 12: is to just absolutely empower women and particularly mums to
Speaker 12: live life on their own terms, because I think if
Speaker 12: we've learnt anything over the last couple of years, it
Speaker 12: is too short and like it just there is no
Speaker 12: fucking point, right, Like I mean I do that for
Speaker 12: like fourteen years of doing you know something that really.
Speaker 1: Is like the opposite of lighting up your soul, your nature.
Speaker 1: That's what we're say in this community.
Speaker 4: It was just.
Speaker 12: Sorry mate, sorry mate, So no, and you know that's
Speaker 12: like I am just so I'm so passionate about it,
Speaker 12: as you know, and yeah, we've really like you know,
Speaker 12: this is it's everything, you know. The people you meet
Speaker 12: here are the people you meet through like through this community,
Speaker 12: in life, in.
Speaker 1: Business, in motherhood.
Speaker 12: Like we have like breakdowns on a daily basis around
Speaker 12: our children, Like we are breakdown friends, which means real friends.
Speaker 1: Because yeah, but no, so thank you very much.
Speaker 12: And it's it's really exciting to be here, love being
Speaker 12: with people in people in your life.
Speaker 1: It's not weird. We always make it, really does anyone
Speaker 1: else have anything to add or a business to share
Speaker 1: or a story. Oh, I'm so excited. This lovely lady
Speaker 1: you can stand up so everyone can see is coming
Speaker 1: to the Sydney event as well.
Speaker 3: Hi guys, nice to meet you.
Speaker 21: My name is Nana and I'm from Japan and my
Speaker 21: I guess you asked my instagram is Nana from Japan. Yeah,
Speaker 21: if you're interested in like business, please add me. So
Speaker 21: they're like, you know, we can support each other. Oh,
Speaker 21: I mean the like a research stage, so like I
Speaker 21: haven't started the burn, but like I want to, I
Speaker 21: guess like create like a Japanese brand and guys need help.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, so I guess like.
Speaker 21: The question I had for you, I actually asked this
Speaker 21: question to entourage, like yeah, but they didn't give me answer.
Speaker 21: That's why I came here. So yeah, I guess like
Speaker 21: my question was like if you're building like a brand
Speaker 21: and if you want to do like if you have
Speaker 21: a plan with the exit strategy like Salen, Like what
Speaker 21: should I be careful for like distinguishing with the personal
Speaker 21: kind of lifestyle brand. Is there anything I should look
Speaker 21: up for because like I feel like there's so many,
Speaker 21: like you know, brands that's tied with the personal brand
Speaker 21: and like you know, valuation is not correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's that's a great question, did you.
Speaker 1: I think people always tell you that if you're too
Speaker 1: closely tied to the brand, you won't be able to
Speaker 1: sell it, and that will really hinder if you're in
Speaker 1: this for an exit plan eventually, that if it's too much,
Speaker 1: if you're too much the brand, then buyers won't be
Speaker 1: that interested. I also think if you're not the brand,
Speaker 1: then it won't get big enough to be interesting to
Speaker 1: sellers at all. And it depends on your own personal
Speaker 1: relationship with the business and how much you want to
Speaker 1: put yourself out there. But I found that was the
Speaker 1: bit that I love the most, The part where people
Speaker 1: know you is the brand and then you get to
Speaker 1: interact with people at media because of it was the
Speaker 1: bit I enjoyed the most. So if I'd taken that
Speaker 1: away and tried to make matcha made in this like
Speaker 1: faceless lot sitting out there, I wouldn't have enjoyed it
Speaker 1: as much. I think if you don't enjoy it, you
Speaker 1: don't put as much into it, which means.
Speaker 3: They don't be wrong as much.
Speaker 1: So I didn't even think, man, you know, like, no,
Speaker 1: I totally forgot.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that the advice you will get is don't
Speaker 1: put yourself into it. But I think that that is
Speaker 1: a disadvantage to your community and all the people who want.
Speaker 1: The story behind why you founded the brand is what
Speaker 1: makes it really special. And there might come a time
Speaker 1: in five or six or seven years when you start
Speaker 1: to think about exit and then you can maybe pull
Speaker 1: back a little bit at the beginning to produce. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think that's how you grow.
Speaker 1: I think that's how people. I don't know about you, guys,
Speaker 1: but I find like most of the brands that your
Speaker 1: goodies are from a brands that the founder like, they've
Speaker 1: all started smaller, like Naked Sundays, for example. Is everyone
Speaker 1: knows Samantha. Everyone knows her story about being a news
Speaker 1: reporter and then starting this because she lost a friend
Speaker 1: to melanoma and she wanted to make sun protection cool
Speaker 1: and easy. And I buy the product because of that story.
Speaker 1: I don't buy it because I like purple or because
Speaker 1: i've you know, there's so many sunscreens out there. I
Speaker 1: feel like you you buy into that story so much,
Speaker 1: and then by the time they're big enough to be sold,
Speaker 1: then you'll just the product is, oh, it's a good product.
Speaker 1: But something has to grab you at the beginning in
Speaker 1: a sea of a million products, and it's usually I
Speaker 1: like that chick and I like what she does, and
Speaker 1: she's Japanese and she's bringing Japanese stuff to Australia. So
Speaker 1: I think, definitely capitalize on your person if you want to.
Speaker 1: Whereas some people hate it and they want to be
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. And like Joe Horgan at Meccha, she
Speaker 1: isn't so much having her face in things because mechos
Speaker 1: are more polished and much bigger. It's a much bigger stage,
Speaker 1: so she prefers not to do that. But if it's
Speaker 1: something you enjoy, I think you should definitely do it.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 21: Yeah, Like that answer is my question like a lot,
Speaker 21: because like I was thinking, like you know, a product,
Speaker 21: she like I cannot be in the picture because you know,
Speaker 21: I in the future, like I don't want to be
Speaker 21: the face of the brand. But like, thank you so
Speaker 21: exactly that yeah, for sure, if if I'm too much,
Speaker 21: But like I have another question, when you you know,
Speaker 21: went from the corporate life to the entrepreneur life, like
Speaker 21: what was the mindset that drove you to like kind
Speaker 21: of keep going because like at the moment, like I'm
Speaker 21: just like in the early stage and I have like
Speaker 21: doubt self doubt, and like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, think about what is so like I want to
Speaker 1: know like the mindset to I guess yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think another great question, No, I know you're amazing, great question.
Speaker 1: I think most people the hardest part of any idea,
Speaker 1: whether it's a business or a jump sideways or a
Speaker 1: jump up, was in your career you never it never
Speaker 1: doesn't work because you can't do it. You can do anything,
Speaker 1: like you can figure out, you know, the actual bones
Speaker 1: of starting a business aren't that difficult. It's just getting
Speaker 1: through the head fuck of like can I do it?
Speaker 1: Who's gonna like it? Am I gonna look silly? Like
Speaker 1: when you actually break it down, the hardest part is
Speaker 1: the brain bit, because actually going and buying stock and
Speaker 1: like ordering it and making a website, like those things
Speaker 1: are not difficult when you make it, when you put
Speaker 1: it all in a list, it's actually just getting your
Speaker 1: brain organized to think you should be there or you
Speaker 1: should be allowed for it to work. And so I
Speaker 1: think the hardest thing is a don't expect the self
Speaker 1: doubt to go away, because it doesn't. And I think
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. I think it keeps you on
Speaker 1: your toes. It keeps you really not complacent. You never
Speaker 1: sort of think I'm done, I can't learn anything else.
Speaker 1: I think it has a good role to play. But
Speaker 1: I think having people around you who are doing similar
Speaker 1: things and he'll cheerlead and be like in those moments,
Speaker 1: sometimes you can break your own circuit and be like,
Speaker 1: this is silly. I can do this. Sometimes you can't,
Speaker 1: and you need someone at your phone, a friend to
Speaker 1: just be like, you're not shit. It's going to work.
Speaker 1: And the worst thing that can happen is what you
Speaker 1: look silly for five minutes. And I always have to
Speaker 1: remind myself when I'm trying something new, Like even with
Speaker 1: things like this, the first minute you put up tickets,
Speaker 1: You're like, no, my ticket, And I'm going to be
Speaker 1: by myself at an event that's gonna be me and
Speaker 1: and painting together. And I know I've got Lauren and
Speaker 1: I've got Effie and I've got EBI's friends.
Speaker 3: Oh, I know it's cut.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, there's a white list, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. But I think that if you ask yourself
Speaker 1: if whatever the thing is you're scared of, if you
Speaker 1: ask yourself, if you told me I could fail, Like try,
Speaker 1: say I wanted to try horse riding or whatever, and
Speaker 1: I knew that if I fell off my horse and
Speaker 1: broke my leg, but no one in the world would
Speaker 1: find out about it. It's like, are you actually scared anymore?
Speaker 1: And if you knew you could fall over and fail
Speaker 1: and lose all this money and like fall on your
Speaker 1: face or whatever, but no one would ever find out.
Speaker 1: Suddenly no one's scared anymore. So you're like, you realize
Speaker 1: you're actually scared of people's perception of you, then you
Speaker 1: are actually failing. Because if I tried to get on
Speaker 1: a horse and I fell off and I've never done
Speaker 1: it before, I would be like, I'm not worse as
Speaker 1: a person. I just am bad at horse riding. Like
Speaker 1: that's fine, I'm good at other stuff. But if everyone
Speaker 1: saw me fall off a horse, I'd be like, Ay,
Speaker 1: why weren't you filming me? Because this is a great bloop.
Speaker 1: But b you know, it's the perception that is the
Speaker 1: thing that makes you feel so icky and like like
Speaker 1: you're not good enough or like you should never try
Speaker 1: something new again. So I think realizing that it's all
Speaker 1: ahead game, surrounding yourself with the people who help you
Speaker 1: in the shitty bits, and remember that's the hardest bit.
Speaker 1: Once you've started the business or your idea, the momentum
Speaker 1: starts to remind you, oh, someone did buy it. So
Speaker 1: then you've got like empirical evidence that you can do it.
Speaker 1: You just have to get through the head bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as in like, yeah, that's another good one. I think
Speaker 1: I had planed B as long as I could. Like
Speaker 1: when you're jumping from one thing to the other, I
Speaker 1: think the smaller you can make the jump, the better.
Speaker 1: Like often people like leave your job straight away, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, but stay as long as you can,
Speaker 1: like that's cash. So like I stayed at the law
Speaker 1: firm for seven months because I was like, the longer
Speaker 1: I can do both, the smaller the risk is when
Speaker 1: I jump. So if you can have a plan B
Speaker 1: for as long as you can, it makes it less scary.
Speaker 1: And then they'll come a day where you're like, if
Speaker 1: I don't jump now, I never will once you have jumped.
Speaker 1: Then having a plan B, I think sometimes makes you
Speaker 1: not take risks and makes you think, oh, that'll always
Speaker 1: be there. But I think if you also say to yourself,
Speaker 1: what's the worst that could happen, most of the time
Speaker 1: it's that you'd lose a little bit of money and
Speaker 1: a bit of pride, it's usually not that bad. So
Speaker 1: if you don't have a plan B. But except that,
Speaker 1: like the worst case scenario is also not that bad anyway,
Speaker 1: Like everyone, can you just start again or you do
Speaker 1: something different. It's not nearly as big a deal as
Speaker 1: you think it is in your brain.
Speaker 21: You got this gal, I don't know, like I keep thinking,
Speaker 21: like what I if I'm never going to have a job.
Speaker 1: We don't have jobs. Thank you so much, guys, everyone
Speaker 1: support what's their Instagram again? Nana from Japan? Nana like
Speaker 1: Grandma from Japan. Does anyone have any other stories or
Speaker 1: recommendations or anything? Oh yeah, hello, I just wanted to know.
Speaker 15: I'm so fascinated by the people that you have on
Speaker 15: the podcast, like from the Cave the Tie Cave diver,
Speaker 15: he is amazing and that story is amazing, and the
Speaker 15: Antarctica journey and yeah, I just want to particularly the
Speaker 15: guess how you choose the guests on the podcast? Do
Speaker 15: they approach you or do you you know, come to
Speaker 15: them through social media or books, or how do you
Speaker 15: kind of make the decision on who to have the podcast.
Speaker 1: That's a really good question, Thank you, great question. It's
Speaker 1: a bit of both. It's very random, Like with the
Speaker 1: Thai Cave Diver, for example, I saw I think I
Speaker 1: read his book. I just picked it up at the
Speaker 1: airport and I was like, I need to speak to
Speaker 1: that man ah and I hounded him on LinkedIn, Instagram,
Speaker 1: like got found the Six Degrees of Separation and had
Speaker 1: people pestering him from all directions until he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to cave because I'm going to cave. I'm
Speaker 1: going to cave because she's just annoying me so much.
Speaker 1: But I knew I really wanted him on, and he's
Speaker 1: been one of my favorite episodes so far. So sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll get like a bean in my bonnet about someone
Speaker 1: who I think their story represents something really fundamental. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it'll be someone has a book coming out and their
Speaker 1: publishers will reach out to lots of podcasts and say
Speaker 1: we've got this person. They've got a book coming out,
Speaker 1: like Australian birth Stories. I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: listened to the Australian Birth Stories podcast, Sophie's book comes
Speaker 1: out I think this week, so she's our International Win
Speaker 1: Day episode, and yeah, some come by pictures and then
Speaker 1: others will just be people who I have. Like our
Speaker 1: next episode is Ben Macintosh, who has the same manager
Speaker 1: as me and so we've met a few times. But
Speaker 1: he's sister has down syndrome and he's also a full
Speaker 1: time career and he was one of those guys who
Speaker 1: just had no idea what he wanted to do. He
Speaker 1: played college rugby college football in the US on a
Speaker 1: scholarship just but didn't really find his thing and was
Speaker 1: getting injured. And he came back and got asked to
Speaker 1: fill in as a care worker for his sister's boyfriend
Speaker 1: at the time and just found his thing. And now
Speaker 1: he works, like you know, way over time. He's working
Speaker 1: all the time. He's going on holidays with these kids.
Speaker 1: But he's like, I've grown up speaking this language and
Speaker 1: now that's what I do as a job, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like work. So when you hear stories, I'll
Speaker 1: kind of then just say like do you want to
Speaker 1: just jump on the show, And yeah, it comes in
Speaker 1: all random kind of ways you kind of discovered the
Speaker 1: other side, like the side public persona, but you know,
Speaker 1: actually see what goes on behind in their life. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh thank you. Yeah. Every episode it's so fascinating. Oh
Speaker 1: thank you. I also really try and spread out themes
Speaker 1: as well, Like I'll try not to have like three
Speaker 1: business women in a row doing similar things, like different industries.
Speaker 1: And sometimes I will go out and think, oh, I
Speaker 1: haven't had like an emergency services person in a year,
Speaker 1: so let's find a paramedic or something, or during the Olympics,
Speaker 1: I'll like try and get an olympian and the themes
Speaker 1: kind of help. But then other times I'm like, shit,
Speaker 1: I haven't got a guest for next week, Like who
Speaker 1: can I ask? Like so it's very random. And then
Speaker 1: literally I'm like, hey, thank you lovely. Yeah, they're just
Speaker 1: slowly creeping up to like more of the show, does they?
Speaker 1: Donyone have any questions for and Phlangelina okay to kill right,
Speaker 1: I love you coming around with the mic. This is
Speaker 1: like our own talk show. We should have our own
Speaker 1: talk show. You mean you mean via Yah creations.
Speaker 4: Either of you can answer it or both, But how
Speaker 4: do you know what is your passion other than trying
Speaker 4: everything obviously, but how how do you pick a niche
Speaker 4: and go to that? And yeah, especially when you're in
Speaker 4: like like you're twenties, l like your first year of
Speaker 4: being an adult.
Speaker 1: That sorry first, Like.
Speaker 4: She's part twenty, so it's like your first decade of
Speaker 4: being an adult.
Speaker 1: How do you not feel lost?
Speaker 3: Ah, Sarah has been a big rock for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, genuinely, genuinely because because Sarah is like a century older,
Speaker 2: she's been through life much longer, and so it's experienced
Speaker 2: a lot of the things that you would go through
Speaker 2: in your twenties, and she's like, I remember that stage,
Speaker 2: there's good idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's been. It has been.
Speaker 2: Actually, Sarah has been a really big part of me
Speaker 2: finding what I want and like to do because she's
Speaker 2: done so much in her life it makes it all
Speaker 2: sound very possible. Whereas I think in if I just
Speaker 2: stayed around people that I knew when I was in UNI,
Speaker 2: the world seems really small and so you really know
Speaker 2: what you're doing at the time. So everyone only new
Speaker 2: Physio high school and that was it, whereas I had
Speaker 2: and cycling falling off your bike yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but then you and then I had Sarah, Yeah, who
Speaker 2: had done so much in her life, and so I
Speaker 2: think it meant that I could explore all these things
Speaker 2: to try to I know you said not to try
Speaker 2: everything and figure it out, but you kind of have
Speaker 2: to try everything and figure it out, but try the
Speaker 2: things that you want to try as opposed to just everything.
Speaker 3: And I think in terms of.
Speaker 2: The passion side of things, I think it's like partly
Speaker 2: what you wake up wanting to go to do every day.
Speaker 2: I resigned from Physia not because I didn't love the job.
Speaker 2: I actually struggled to resign from Physia because I loved
Speaker 2: the job, but it was it was more the lifestyle
Speaker 2: that I didn't have passion towards. So I'm now doing
Speaker 2: a job that I'm probably less passionate about. It gives
Speaker 2: me the lifestyle I now work for CESDA. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if you guys have heard about it. It's a
Speaker 2: bore I wouldn't recommend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's part of it is mine's like.
Speaker 2: Really purpose driven though PHO feels like a really purpose
Speaker 2: driven job, and so I get a lot of satisfaction
Speaker 2: and passion in that as well. So I think it's
Speaker 2: like a lot of just trying until you really truly
Speaker 2: are happy with what you're doing, as opposed to feeling
Speaker 2: that you have to be happy because everyone else around
Speaker 2: you says you should be happy. You know, Like there's
Speaker 2: been times where like someone has said, come and work
Speaker 2: in the US and will sponsor you, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm meant to be excited about this because I'm not
Speaker 2: really excited about it, and everyone around you was like,
Speaker 2: you've got to do it, You've got to do it
Speaker 2: because this is a once in a lifetime. But I
Speaker 2: was like, but it's not a once in a lifetime
Speaker 2: for me. So that means leaving my family for two
Speaker 2: years or five years, because everyone it's a family fantasy
Speaker 2: for everyone else, but.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily me.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of having to like feel that on
Speaker 2: your own and then go to the people that you
Speaker 2: really trust and love running by them and they normally
Speaker 2: have perspective that you you wouldn't from being an outside person.
Speaker 2: So I think you having good network is a really
Speaker 2: important one. And then like being brave and trying different things,
Speaker 2: and then yeah.
Speaker 13: That's m.
Speaker 3: I know I'm stressed, im sweating.
Speaker 18: But.
Speaker 1: You can follow me my businesses and foot.
Speaker 3: You know, I think you do have to go back
Speaker 3: to painting though, for real.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was so lovely. That was so lovely.
Speaker 1: Do you know what's so nice? We often do q
Speaker 1: and as when people just submit their questions in text,
