<v Speaker 1>She worked at Warner Brothers Records, where she ended up

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.200

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>she's just one of the most genuine souls. I personally know,

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and she's such a dear friend, so I am so

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>excited to kick off this series with her. And I'm

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>also so excited because this is a series on women

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that I'm partnering with AVA Women. If you haven't heard

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of them yet, you've got to, especially if you're a

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>woman trying to conceive, or you have a friend who's

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to conceive, or if you just want to get

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>in touch with your body, because as we all know,

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>conceiving is not always easy. You have to pee on sticks,

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>take your temperature, you're playing the guessing game with all

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the apps. It's not ideal at all, and it's hard

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to predict your most fertile days. So AVA bracelet is

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>changing the process for women and making easier than ever

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to know your fertile window. You wear the bracelet when

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>you sleep, you connect to the AVA app in the morning.

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>You get insights on changes in physiological parameters that detect

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>where you are in your cycle, including your most fertile days.

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>In real time. AVA doubles your chances of conceiving each month.

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>We're here in the doghouse, my friend, my friend, this

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>is the one doghouse you actually want to be in.

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>It is a good doghouse. Is full of dogs at

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>different and different number of dogs, just depending on the

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>day that we have three right now, they knew we're

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about probably going to hear them trying to talk

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to over the squirrels. There are squirrels that run along

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the top of the fence and that is what they

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>talk to. So this is their day. Are they hunting

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>those squirrels? Are they were protecting? If they want to

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>be friends at the squirrels or if they like hate

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the squirrels, I don't know. I don't have any answer,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's like urgent and there's a lot of squirrels.

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like an all day thing, all day long. I

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>think about that sometimes, like I think about dog World

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and I think about my dogs and what Sugar gets

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 1>fired up about. And I'm like, and she was like

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>thinking her all about that. It's stress, like real stress.

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And see you can see it. There's another one okay,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and you can also see my dirty windows. Hey, I

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>never washed my windows. I don't even know where. How

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>do you do you have to call someone? I think

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>you call someone? Being a homeowner, I'm like, how is

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>there Emmanuel finding a home whatever? My dad is staying

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>with us. He always comes up with something to do

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, how do you know to do these things?

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And he was like, well, you just do them. I

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, but I don't know. One ever told me

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I know. I'm like, what do you how do I know?

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, should I have? Like he was like, did

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you get your unit tuned? I was like, what does

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that even? Your unit? What's a unit? What am I tuning?

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, Dan tunes? What does it mean? Shouldn't

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>say that word things all the time? Um, I guess

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>it's like your h v A C unit, which is

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>your heater. I was supposed to get it tuned twice

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a year. It's never been tuned. You're supposed to get

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>it tuned twice a year. That's what he told me.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>How do you find it? H V? How do you

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:53.280

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you adulting it is. It's so hard. It's a blessing

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm great wold to be here, but I'm like,

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>help help Sarah hotline. I know I was having I'm

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to remember who I had this conversation with the

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>other day. Oh, it was a total stranger, a complete stranger.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I was having the conversation. She was visiting from Kansas

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>City Nashville, and so since I'm from Kansas City, we

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>were discussing that and then her pipes burst at the

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>house because it was snowing, and and she was like,

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to do. And I said, call

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 1>your dad, and she was like, I'm going because I was,

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't have an answer. I don't call your dad. Truly,

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>it is just like one thing aftergether. We had to

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>get a new roof right when moved in in a

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>new heater. Had no idea. Sorry, you're fine. I had

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>no idea that was going to happen, just like, okay,

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>wham bam, just kick it right off. Those are expensive things,

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 1>expensive things. So how did you get into dogs? Like

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>when did you first find your big love? And my

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>big love of dogs and loved dogs dogs have been

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 1>I always say that I am convinced that I was

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a dog at some point. Definitely what I don't know.

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what kind, but mixed. Definitely a mixed

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of girl. Definitely a hybrid, but I don't know,

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>like exactly which breed. Definitely not any of the breeds

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I have. I don't like that. I don't know. I

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>don't connect with their personality. I connect with them as beings,

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but I don't understand their personal Okay, So Chiefs is

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>like we didn't know when we named him Chief that

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>we were naming him exactly what he should be. Yes,

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>we were naming him Chief because his rescue name was

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Natchez and I wanted to stick with the theme. And

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Kansas City to the Kansas City. Chiefs was

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>like Chief perfect. Then his personality came out and he

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>is the boss as anyone who knows well he thinks

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a little sergeant. Yes, Joy is actually the boss.

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But Chief has like this big personality and he's just

0:07:54.840 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 1>like really worked up all the time. He's really work

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>works up all the time. Our squirrels like one of

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the major ones that work him out, So squirrels don't

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>bother him. He's just like in his own head. He's

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>just regularly he's an existential crisis kind of guy, like

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>as something is happening in his head. So this is

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a white house and he's like on protection lot and

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>he's just like he is just on edge, and but

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely all in his brain, like he the other

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>two will react to like the squirrel outside or like

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>people walking by the house. He is just like in

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>his own head, he's just very angsty as I call

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>him okay and then Ghost, I wish that I was Ghost.

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Ghost is happy all the time. Why did he was

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.719
<v Speaker 1>chained outside for four and a half years through all

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the season for all the seasons, chained to other dogs

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that were bigger than him, and they would like throw

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.199
<v Speaker 1>food at them. So he was really skinny when we

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.839
<v Speaker 1>got him because he was fighting everyone else for food.

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>But despite all of this, he is the happiest dog.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.719
<v Speaker 1>His tail is always wagging. He's obsessed with toys, Like

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>when I give him a new toy, he just can't

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>believe it. He's overjoyed by it. So I wish that

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I was Ghost. I wish that I was that happy

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>all the time and so overjoyed by just yes, and

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>even like when like Chief is being mean to him,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>then he is still so happy. It's like the best enjoy.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I think if I was one of my dogs, I

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>would be joy. I am. My personality is one that

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I can like definitely turn on. I get that, and so,

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>but my heart is very as I wear my homebody

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.839
<v Speaker 1>shirt with my heart, and my heart is very introverted.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>But I can turn on my extroverted self. And Joy

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily turn hers on. But she is, I think

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>me like she is constantly feeling this struggle of like

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I love people, I want to be around people, but

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm terrified of people. So I think Joy and I

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 1>are like the closest. I totally get that, Like I

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>feel like I could be such people person and talk

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to anyone. I enjoy people. But does it like deplet time,

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>deplete your energy? What is it is? I don't know.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is, but it can be

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>really depleted, I guess because you want to bring your

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>best self and you want to like be as great

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>as you can, and it's honestly like you have to

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.439
<v Speaker 1>drop all like all the other real stuff going on.

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>You can talk about it, but you just have to

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>be a thousand per thousand percent and it's hard to

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>stay on that level or something. I've been trying, I think,

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>like everyone because it's it's really trendy right now. I've

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>been trying to understand my angiogram. Talk about it. Whatever

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>are you to help? Um? And it makes total sense.

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I get it, but we I've been really trying to

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.839
<v Speaker 1>understand it. And I was posed a question of like

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 1>what I loved about my number and what I hated

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>about it? To me about that, and it actually made

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>me really emotional when I started to think about it.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.959
<v Speaker 1>But it goes back to what we were just talking about.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Is I love that I my number because I think

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 1>it makes me very empathetic and compassionate. UM, And I

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>love that part of it, but also it makes me

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>have a crippling fear of not being liked. I get that,

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>like so crippling and when I was like processing that

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>because because you want to help people, Yeah, and your

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>biggest fear would be that all your intentions and your

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>love is like for not if people don't want like

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm trying, when you're just focused on it like

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.839
<v Speaker 1>that's the other part of the two is kind of

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>giving yourself way more than you are probably getting in return,

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>which I can handle. But then I think that ties

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>into me being fearful of being disliked, and that's and

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>so I think that is the thing that maybe makes

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>putting yourself out there really depleted, because if I'm really

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>afraid of not getting that in return or someone not

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>liking who I am, then I might just want to

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 1>retreat and be like here I am in my house.

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But that was so off topic from your original question.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>How do I get into joy? Though? I feel like

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>my spirit animals are my dogs too, like they reflect

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>your personality. How do you? Okay? So I'm a four

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>on the Ange of Theram and it's the romantic and

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it's I feel like it's the worst one I could

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>see that because I mean, it's such a beautiful one.

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>But it's such a beautiful one. It's all about this

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>intense passion, and so when the passion is all positive

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and going great, I'm electric. Electric. The world is magical, sunshine, butterflies.

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Literally you can't even remember a bad thing, And I

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>love that when I am in the opposite, like the

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>more of this, when you're in your unhealthy part of

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>your never, like when I'm like dealing with something or

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 1>like super emotional, it's like the world is over. I

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I'm gonna get out of here. How

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>do I get better? It's raining all the time. So

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>interesting though, when you like when someone puts it into

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>words for you, and then you feel like you kind

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>of understand yourself a little bit more. But just try

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to live in the healthy part of your number, trying

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to do so when you're in your unhealthy part of

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the two. So, say you're at the massive party and

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>like all these people are there that you love, but

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh gosh, okay, I gotta turn my my

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>socializing on what is your fear? And then how do

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you overcome her fear? So my fear in that, I

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>guess always just stems back to not being liked for

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>who I am, and so I think sometimes I and

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is part of my number

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 1>or not. I haven't I don't know. I haven't gotten

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to that part. But I think that sometimes I fall

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>into a habit of being whatever the people around me

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 1>want me to be. That I can do that too. Yeah,

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm just like, because I want to be liked,

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to be whatever that group of people or

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.319
<v Speaker 1>that person needs me to be. But that's something that

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I always say to Dan and something I'm so grateful

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.839
<v Speaker 1>of him because he does not care. We're getting Okay, guys,

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.440

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>like they would have. I feel like they would have

<v Speaker 1>stuck around. Okay, but that's all right. We'll come back tomorrow.

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>because we're doing real life and I feel like it's

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>fun to get a look into people's worlds, like Abby

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>with the dog world. Okay, she's signing. She loves it.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>They're all best friends. Oh that was a party. Okay,

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.400

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>they needed you to sign They just knew the name.

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>It was uncomfortable and we just had a little love

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>session about tequila. No way, this is that weird, and

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>people like, yeah, we've been having a discussion of maybe

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>we should not be addressing things in our name anymore,

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and that might have been the answer. But it's okay.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>They were very nice. I love the song. They were

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>just listening to it, speaking of Okay, we're gonna come

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 1>back to the Instagram because I want to know about this. Okay, party,

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 1>because I want to know speaking of your husband, Dan,

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Dana J had the biggest freaking song ever this year, Tequila,

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about it. We'll talk about it, Okay,

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Back to the party. Back to the part. So Dan,

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that's what we were discussing. That is something that I

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>always tell him that I am so grateful for from

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>him because he kind of this was something like I

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>think a struggle that I dealt with for so long

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>ways being what everyone else wanted to me to be,

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and Dan does is so good about just being himself.

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>And of course he cares um very much, especially when

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it comes to his art and his craft, and he

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 1>like definitely cares in that respect what people think. But

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like I don't know someone like if

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>someone says something negative on social media, I'm like affected

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>by it for the rest of my life. He never

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>thinks about it ever one time. His number UM, He's

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>never taken it, but I would guess he's a three

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>very I'm very confident that he's a three. Three is

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the achiever UM, and they're kind of validation is by

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>being um commended for what they have accomplished. Like their

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 1>their work or their art or their craft or whatever

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it is. So I'm very confident that he is very

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>strongly a three. But I'm gonna make him take it definitely. Okay,

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 1>So how do you handle your fear your helper? Your

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>helper negative popping up? It's flaring, You're unhealthy helpers flaring.

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that honestly, in the last few years, the

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>confidence that he has instilled in me to be myself

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>has really helped me in that, and that I'm partnered

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's really great because he has made me

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>feel really comfortable with just being myself. So I think

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that I've been able to eliminate a little bit of

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the trying to appease everyone else and be what everyone

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>else wants me to be. I definitely still struggle with

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it all the time. It goes you and I talked

0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.239
<v Speaker 1>about this all the time. It goes back to not

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>being able to say know, um, which is something else

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that I will always work on and probably always struggle with.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 1>But I keep trying. But I think that is honestly

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>where I would go in terms of trying to feel

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the healthy. Part of it is just being comfortable and

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>competent and know that I am enough just as I am,

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and then I would after very much need similarnd with

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 1>my dogs. How awesome is it that Abby is so real.

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 1>She's so real about her insecurities. She's so real about

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 1>how hard it is for her to say no, but

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>she's working on it. The angiogram. I have love learning

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.240

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.320

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 1>fertile window and when the best time to conceive is.

0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Nobody likes paying on sticks, having to take your temperature

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 1>every day, playing the guessing game. That is such a

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 1>headache and it's so hit or miss. But with the

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>AVA bracelet, all you have to do is wear it

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.719
<v Speaker 1>every single night when you sleep, and then you connect

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to the app in the morning and you get all

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the insights. They tell you how long you sleep, body temperature,

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and if you're fertile and when your fertile windows are,

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 1>so it doubles the chance of you conceiving each month.

<v Speaker 1>let's get back to Abby and hearing more amazing insight,

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 1>because she's the best. What do you do when you're

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.879
<v Speaker 1>when you're recharging and calming down? Like what happens here

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in low time? What happens in your brain? My brain,

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 1>My brain is a lot of anxiety and stress, but

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:59.919
<v Speaker 1>then um, my calmness is definitely here, like where we are.

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 1>I have such a sense of peace in my home

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:08.159
<v Speaker 1>and that is my like recharge place. Target is my

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 1>recharge place. I want to go to Target today. Actually

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>does make you just feel so it does. I feel

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>like something's in the air. I don't know what. Maybe

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>it is. You know how they like pump oxygen in

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the vegas and maybe they do something there. I think

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.919
<v Speaker 1>they might. And the lighting is perfect, and all the

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>clothes are so cute, they're so cutey need everything in there.

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Haley Hubbard and I were talking about this the other

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 1>day because we're the same. I am like shopping is

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.199
<v Speaker 1>my drug of choice and so target really helps me.

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Or like new shoes, but like, if I'm feeling a

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 1>little upset, if I like find something to buy, I

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>feel a lot better, which is probably not a good

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 1>coping mechanism, but I was gonna d my hair tattoo.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I love it a little more pert Probably michaels like,

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm ready for my half sweve, now do it.

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 1>He's all about it. I'm like, do you think about it?

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.120
<v Speaker 1>For I'm wrong about it? Fully supported, but like, okay,

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>so you just recharge and just like sile into your

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.439
<v Speaker 1>brain or it does. I think if I need to

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>give some space, I need to cut off, like for

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a minute, and I will. Something that I just learned

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 1>about myself is how negatively I am affected by social media.

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if you've done the update on

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 1>your phone, but you can limit the amount of time

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you're on it, and so I it like locks me out.

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can type it in and get back on,

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 1>which I am definitely guilty of, but it lets me.

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 1>It makes me at least think about it, and I

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.479
<v Speaker 1>have never felt better in the last few weeks of

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.399
<v Speaker 1>doing that. I only let myself have an hour of

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>social media time a day, um, and since I, you know,

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>do social media for the dry house with Ali, Like

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>by the time I'm done doing my work and then

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little bit of personal time, I'm pretty much

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>done for the day by like before a lemon, and

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you work it into your schedule, right, and then I

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:55.719
<v Speaker 1>blocking this off and then that's it. So you can

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>see my puzzle, like I've been doing a puzzle instead

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and like trying to think of things that are rather

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 1>than just scrolling, because I think there's like a beauty

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:07.679
<v Speaker 1>to social media of like getting to be inspired by

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>other people, but there's also a really deep place of

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 1>comparison there and I think I have learned that that's

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 1>not a really healthy thing for me. So the less

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 1>time I'm spending on it, the better I feel. And

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.879
<v Speaker 1>it's really great. It's been a really freeing thing, and

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that is great because it allows you just to stay

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>in your own life, even if you just pop on

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>social media for like five minutes here and there, all

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, you are flooded with people's lives. You

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>are everyone's doing, and you can't help but have your

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.280
<v Speaker 1>thoughts somewhere else in your brain because you're and and

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 1>it has made me feel more present, and it's made

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 1>me feel much more connected to my own life and

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.199
<v Speaker 1>and just like, I don't know, it's even made me

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.679
<v Speaker 1>feel a little nostalgic in times of going back to

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>growing up where none of that existed, and I'm and

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 1>it's really really fun to go back to that where

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like I'm sitting here, I'm doing a puzzle,

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 1>We're watching a Hallmark Christmas movie and like that and

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>not being wrapped up in anything else, and it makes

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 1>me feel good. So I'm at this point where I

0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:10.199
<v Speaker 1>have been having to on the same vein teach myself

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to be okay with just being in myself, absolutely absolutely

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 1>sitting down and not letting myself have a distraction for

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>my brain really, like whether it's exercise, whether it's having

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>lunch with friends, whether it's like being on social media,

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 1>whether it's like scheming up something I need to do

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for work or something it's just like constant walking the dog,

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>stressing out about future stuff. It's like I have made

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 1>myself in life has sort of presented this season to

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 1>me anyway of just having to be in the shut

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>off a little bit and shut off, and it's really

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>good and learn how to just be with myself because

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. It is hard. It is hard, and then

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's also so good and freeing and you can

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>just makes me worthy enough to be alone because I

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like a lot of the time, I feel myself

0:24:57.800 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 1>with time, I feel my time with things because I'm like,

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I need to be constantly busier, so I'm not worthy, right,

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:05.679
<v Speaker 1>But I am worthy even if I'm not constantly busy.

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're probably a four wing. Three are yes, it's

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:15.479
<v Speaker 1>probably your wing, but yeah, no it is. And I

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 1>think we all need to kind of get back into

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:22.159
<v Speaker 1>that space and feel like just because you know, we

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 1>all grew our generation, we we know what it was

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>like to not have social media. Yeah, like my little

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>brother is never going to know that, and but we

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 1>do know it, and so we need My little brother's

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 1>fifteen or fifteen years apart, so he's always had social

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:39.879
<v Speaker 1>media and he like it's always been around his life,

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 1>and I just I want to always remember that time

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 1>when we didn't and maybe try and recreate a little

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 1>bit of it. And because it does make you feel

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot better. You don't realize it, it just it

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.719
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel a lot better. To disconnect for a second,

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and just right, we've let social media run rampant because

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's it's it's like it's such a quick

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>thing to do if everyone's doing it, so it's like

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't even get mad at people for doing anything.

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Like back in the day, people were never allowed to

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>have their phones, but not everyone's just on social all

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the time. So it's like you can't even correct someone

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 1>for doing it because it's normal. We all embrace this

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>really bad habit when really we should create boundaries, like

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 1>we have boundaries for everything everything else. That's one night,

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:26.919
<v Speaker 1>don absolutely no schedule time to do it exactly, and

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:30.520
<v Speaker 1>it's your your cheat time, and that should be enjoy

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 1>it and you don't yourself got it exactly. It's great.

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 1>There's a I don't know, have you ever do you

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 1>listen to John Bellian's music at all? Are you familiar

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>with him? Um? So, something that I love about Dan

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 1>and E's relationships so much is like our love for

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>music and like discovering new music and listening to music

0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and like processing lyrics and things like that. But there's

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:52.879
<v Speaker 1>this guy that he introduced me to, John Bellian, and

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>he just came up with a second record, and there

0:26:56.160 --> 0:27:00.080
<v Speaker 1>is something about his music and his lyrics that it

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 1>every existential crisis I have in my mind, like every

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 1>single one, like the things that keep me up at

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>night and make me worry about society and my life

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and things like that he puts into a song and

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like I didn't even know until I heard it.

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Then I'm like, oh my god, that's exactly how I feel.

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Like that is what makes me upset. And he has

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 1>this song on his new record called the Internet, and

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 1>it's basically the line is life became dangerous the day

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 1>we all became famous. No one cares if you're happy,

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>just as long as you claim it. And I'm just

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>sitting there and I'm like, oh my god, like it's

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.959
<v Speaker 1>so true, Like we are we take that as fact

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and word in these like curated moments that we have

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>created on the Internet, and they're like, oh, well, oh

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, like look how happy they are when we

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>have no idea because we haven't even stopped to ask them,

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 1>because they look really happy on the Internet. And and

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's a really if that song is like and

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:55.679
<v Speaker 1>it's like he has such sick tracks and it's like

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 1>roll upbeat, but but like the words, you're like, oh

0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, and um, you'll have to listen to this

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>song stupid deep. It's my favorite and you'll really like

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>connect to it. I think it's basically like maybe everything

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been chasing, like every like maybe who I am

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.479
<v Speaker 1>is just fine, Like maybe everything that I do is

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 1>for validation from someone else. But like even though I'm okay,

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's like the whole inside my heart is stupid deep,

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>like all of that, and you'll love it. It's just

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's a very It's just a song that makes

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>you be like, oh my gosh, yeah, and you're just

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.439
<v Speaker 1>like you're that is like that is what I feel

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>all of the time, but I could never verbalize it

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>in the way that he does. So of social media is,

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>for instance, like this and music in general is people.

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 1>At this point, I think we're hitting a wall with it.

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>We're like, okay, there's something, there's a dark side there is.

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>When it first came out, it was like social media pictures,

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 1>no big deal, easy breezing. We get to see pictures

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of our friends. It's amazing, great way to keep up.

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a sudden everyone became apparent of

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the comparison thing because everyone talks about it, and now

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're entering into a time where it's

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like it's a wonderful time because it's like we're all

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:16.280
<v Speaker 1>figuring out, Okay, how can we be honest, because we're

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>all crying out that we need honesty and people to

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 1>be real and not perfectly curated. And I feel like

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>something's happening where some people are getting brave enough to

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>share their real stories absolutely social media, absolutely, and that's

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 1>where I'm loving that absolutely, and it's great because I

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's starting conversation. I mean, like the king of influencer,

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the Fat Jewish, he did an article and it was

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>so interesting the other day that it was like the

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>influencer is dead, Like we are all so sick of

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the same thing over and over in the repetition and

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the curated story where he was like he's not saying

0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>like Instagram is going to go away, but that kind

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of story is over, yes, and like people just want

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to see life and they're over this curated story that

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone's trying to point out. So it was a really

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a New York Times article and it was

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>really it was Yeah, a guy whose entire livelihood has

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>been based on being an influencer, and so it was

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>really it was a really interesting article because you're just like,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't he's he's I mean, that's why he's getting

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 1>into like alcohol brands and things like that, because he's

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out where there's like a more sustainable

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 1>future for himself. And it was it was more of

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>like a business article than anything, but there were some

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>elements to it that were also you know, a psychological

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>element too, So it was really interesting. I love that,

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and I love this, and I love I just love

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that people can share their real stories. So, Okay, you

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>were in music before anything. Your dad was in music,

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>You grew up in music. Talk to me about your

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>musical journey, how you ended up at Warner Wild Ride

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of like start start me out from the start. So,

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>my dad was in radio for forty one years. He's

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the best retired two years ago. Um, And he was

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 1>in radio in Kansas City, started and pop and then

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>they flipped his station to country and it was like

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the end of the world for him. He was like,

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I cannot program country music. Oh my god. Now you

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get him to listen to anything else. Um, he

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>won't listen to anything but country music. But I remember

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>when they flipped his station from pop to country, and

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and he had such a cool and unique career himself,

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 1>because I mean he's gone through eight owners and that

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 1>is not a normal thing in radio. Most people, unfortunately

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 1>are let off like they're gonna be let go when

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 1>they get a new owner or a format change or

0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. Like a lot of people lose their jobs,

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and he never did. He's been he was with the

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>same station for twenty eight years. Um started when he

0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 1>was fifteen in a small town of Emporia, Kansas, where

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 1>he's from. But um, but then when he moved to

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City and got the job at Q one O four,

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that was I mean, he's never been anywhere else and

0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>UM had a few like cool promotions in that where

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 1>he was then became the operations manager of the whole cluster,

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>so he got to go back to the platformat a

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But he only but he exclusively programmed the

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>country station for program means he makes the playlists that

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 1>all the stations that he programs for listened to. Correct

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.959
<v Speaker 1>he is like the DJ of all these things and

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 1>he's picking it all out. He was on air for

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. He did the morning show for a

0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:28.479
<v Speaker 1>long time, um and then, but he always programmed that station,

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and then he had he had programmers for his the

0:32:30.880 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 1>stations that he oversaw, like the pop station, the easy

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 1>listening station, but he never gave up control of q

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 1>ONA four. It was like his little his brain child,

0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and he loved it. So I just kind of grew

0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>up all around that. I mean, you have to stay

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>on top of music, top of artists, artists, songs, and

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>so you're growing up hearing all the newest artists, all

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the newest songs, having your own opinions because you're thinking, oh,

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 1>this is how songs get picked. Absolutely, and especially with him,

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 1>like I'm this is a no bias statement. He is

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a guy who's always supported new artist and always wanted

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>to give the new artist a chance. And you know,

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>this novel idea of actually paying an artist to come

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>play in their market, but he always paid them, you know,

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And he was just like a he was a really

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 1>big supporter of music and new music and country as

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a whole. Um. And Mike Kennedy's his name, and he's

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the best high dad, but he was inducted into the

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Country Music Hall of Fame, and that was kind of

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like his He wanted to do that before he retired,

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:30.520
<v Speaker 1>so after that happened, he retired a couple of years

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>after that, and um, I think he's a little bored now,

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 1>so maybe we'll find him something to do. But he

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So that was I was always exposed to music. I

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>was around music. I went to my first concert when

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I was four years old. I've been to one trillion

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 1>concerts in my lifetime, especially not with Dan and um

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>as an adult. But I just was always around music.

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I've always loved music. I love discovering music, and um,

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, watching his job, I was like, all right, well,

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 1>being a record promotion person sounds amazing. So that was

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>actually so so that is basically the label contact for

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:13.000
<v Speaker 1>my dad or people who program like my dad, and

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 1>so like the rebel representative of the artists, like you

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 1>represented dance song and then you called all these radioizations thing,

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:25.000
<v Speaker 1>here's why you need to have this exactly, and you

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>can go that in a variety of ways, just letting

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the music speak for itself, giving sales stories, giving market stories,

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>concerts iTunes exactly, whatever it is you can go like

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 1>a numerical route. You can go purely emotional, like that's

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:44.799
<v Speaker 1>like videos of a crowd, Yeah, exactly. And it's almost

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 1>like a sales job in a way, um, because you

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.480
<v Speaker 1>have those certain relationships and partners where you can just

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>be like, I've built this relationship, like we're buds, here's

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:57.919
<v Speaker 1>this song and they're going to play it, or you're

0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna not have that relationship with everyone. So you have

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to prove it with you know, a story. And so

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:07.359
<v Speaker 1>that's what I thought I always wanted to do, and

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:12.560
<v Speaker 1>so I moved. I worked, I did internships from eighteen on.

0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 1>So I went to school at the University of Missouri,

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 1>lived in Nashville every summer in Turning, did my first

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 1>one at UMG, did to it sony um And then

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 1>after you know, you think you're gonna you put in

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>all this time and you're like, well, I'm gonna just

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.319
<v Speaker 1>move right to Nashville and have a job. There were

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:30.760
<v Speaker 1>no jobs. So I was just sitting in my college

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 1>town like twiddling my thumbs, and I was like, I

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:34.919
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I'm going to do because there aren't

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:38.239
<v Speaker 1>any jobs. And finally someone called me and they had

0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a temp job at ci A doing ticket accounts, and

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, it'll get me to Nashville. So

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I moved down Here was doing this like ten dollar

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:48.800
<v Speaker 1>an hour timp job where I literally just called people

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and asked for ticket sales. That was my whole job,

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.000
<v Speaker 1>day in and day out. It starts to drive you crazy. Um.

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:58.319
<v Speaker 1>And five months into it, Chris Palmer Warner Brothers called me.

0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:01.400
<v Speaker 1>He knew that I always wanted to work in promotion

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 1>and said he was going to have an opening as

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 1>his coordinator. So I went in, I interviewed, and UM,

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:11.839
<v Speaker 1>funny enough, the two people it was myself and this

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 1>girl on a cage who I loved dearly. She was

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Gloriana's day to day and we were both up for

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the job and I ended up getting it. And but

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 1>what's funny about that is like years later, when I

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 1>left Warner On, it took my job and so now

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 1>she is Dan's Northeast regional. Um and took my job.

0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:34.560
<v Speaker 1>So I had a really short stint as coordinator at

0:36:34.560 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Warner because um really sadly um, the Northeast regional Lindsay

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Wallerman I was diagnosed with cancer and passed away about

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 1>three months after her diagnosis. It was horrendous. She was

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:52.359
<v Speaker 1>my like intern coordinator at my very first internship when

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:54.719
<v Speaker 1>I was eighteen, and so like life full circle. Then

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I got this coordinator job years later and I was

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>her coordinator and it was so cool. And then when

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:03.880
<v Speaker 1>she got sick, they asked me to step in in

0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:06.439
<v Speaker 1>her region, and of course with and I had every

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:08.920
<v Speaker 1>expectation of going back to being a coordinator. You know,

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'll help her in any way she

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 1>can because she couldn't really travel, especially when her treatment

0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:16.399
<v Speaker 1>got really serious, and so I would travel and cover

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>her shows and do all of that. And then um,

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>when we were at the a c m S, we

0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:25.160
<v Speaker 1>all left before the awards because we found out that

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:26.799
<v Speaker 1>she had taken a turn. So we all flew down

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to Houston to M D Anderson UM to try and

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:33.000
<v Speaker 1>be with her, and unfortunately she passed before we got there.

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But um, they It was a really weird time in

0:37:36.920 --> 0:37:41.400
<v Speaker 1>my life because that was not only like my friend,

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.880
<v Speaker 1>but my coworker and kind of my idol because she

0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 1>was this like young girl just killing it in the

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 1>job that I wanted to do and so being instantly

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>promoted in that manner was really challenging. It was challenging

0:37:56.040 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>from a personal standpoint, but also it was a really

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable role to fill when you're taking someone's job who

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:08.880
<v Speaker 1>was so loved and she was so young, and it

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:12.239
<v Speaker 1>was so devastating and you know, I'm I'm equally as

0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:15.279
<v Speaker 1>devastated as everyone else's because this was my friend. But

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I have to still do this job that was hers

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was it was and yeah, so it went.

0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:29.160
<v Speaker 1>It started really hard, and um, I I had a

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 1>really hard time with it, honestly, um and it I

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>would think I felt not guilt because I knew it

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 1>wasn't my fault, but I did feel uncomfortable. Um it

0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 1>felt very odd and it felt and I didn't know

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and I and I missed her and like she was

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the one who taught me how to be a regional

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and so it was just absolutely and not and that

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:54.399
<v Speaker 1>was not how I ever anticipated getting that job, you know,

0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>And so it's just like a weird, a weird time.

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But I we we got a that and I got

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:04.680
<v Speaker 1>into regional world. And one day there was like a

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 1>demo set on my desk and it was twenty two songs.

0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And it was so weird because usually when someone brings

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you a demo, like an artist trying to sign, it's

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.480
<v Speaker 1>like four of their very best songs. They were like

0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:19.840
<v Speaker 1>slaving over and I get this thing that's twenty two songs,

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Like what in the world is this? And I start

0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 1>listening to them and it's twenty two songs I loved.

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And I went into my boss, Chris Palmer's office and

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what is this And they're like these

0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:33.759
<v Speaker 1>two guys, Dan and Shay. They're like, we're desperate to

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 1>get them, but every label in town is too, so

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be in this week, like be sure to

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:43.600
<v Speaker 1>go say hi songs and they were already and almost

0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 1>done and that was It was so crazy, and so

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember them coming in and my other boss, Chris

0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Stacy at the time, he was the senior VP of promotion.

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:59.040
<v Speaker 1>He came in and was like, you gotta go meet

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the guys there down the hall. So I went in.

0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I was so busy that day, so I just went

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 1>in the office, said hello, said I loved the music,

0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:09.879
<v Speaker 1>and left. I didn't even think about it, didn't even

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 1>like a cross none of that even crossed my mind.

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, you know what, I'm in I'm

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 1>out and like I said hello, but I had so

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>much to do that day, so I left. And the

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:22.920
<v Speaker 1>crazy part about it now is that like Dan remembers

0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:25.919
<v Speaker 1>every element of that interaction, what I was wearing, like

0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 1>all of this stuff, and for him, we always say

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it for him and I, but I just wasn't even

0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:34.799
<v Speaker 1>thinking about it, you know, yeah, I that just wasn't

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:38.400
<v Speaker 1>even close to anything on my mind. He was hopefully

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be my artist and then he was there.

0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>It just never even crossed my mind, and it was

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:48.799
<v Speaker 1>just we find We ended up signing them and then

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 1>they were on our team because I asked us, but

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I have to work these guys, and

0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 1>he was like done and he I remember them like

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>playing and I knew every song and he was like

0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:59.439
<v Speaker 1>that solidified it for me. Putting them on the UM

0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 1>your team, the Warner Atlantic and there something too like

0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 1>having a champion is crucial. So the fact that you

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 1>loved this baby, you wanted to fight for them, that

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is so much better for that for Danish with someone

0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:12.319
<v Speaker 1>like you who's like I get you, I'm gonna go

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:15.239
<v Speaker 1>to yes, because some people, even though they're great, they

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:18.440
<v Speaker 1>don't go to bat for a totally difference there is,

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, I just was like, there's something

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.040
<v Speaker 1>here and I think this is so special. And so

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:26.359
<v Speaker 1>we ended up working them and then I kind of

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I found out, you know, pretty close into the working

0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 1>together a thing that he had already asked Chris Stacy

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:37.680
<v Speaker 1>if he could ask me out your boss went too, yes,

0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:41.759
<v Speaker 1>and and Chris was like, there's general But I was

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:43.800
<v Speaker 1>so taken aback by it because I had no idea,

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I truly was like what. I was like, what

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:48.840
<v Speaker 1>do you mean? And he was like yeah, And I

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 1>told him like there's no rules against it, but I

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's the best idea. And I was like, oh, well,

0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:55.200
<v Speaker 1>he's crazy. Like I'm not interested. You don't have anything

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>to worry about. This point had become like friends. We

0:41:57.280 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 1>had become friends. Yeah, you're absolutely taking him across the

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.560
<v Speaker 1>yes A radio station. We were definitely friends. We had

0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a ton in common, we both loved music and like

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:08.839
<v Speaker 1>we I mean, we weren't at that point we did

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that together. Um, And so you know it was just

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I was just like I had not even thought of that,

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I definitely liked him as a person, but I

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.840
<v Speaker 1>just said though he's fine to look at. But I

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:23.440
<v Speaker 1>then I think that like maybe triggered a subconscious thing

0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that was always there when I heard that, and I

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:29.239
<v Speaker 1>remember calling my mom and being like, well, now I'm like,

0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 1>do I really like this guy? Because then I was

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 1>like starting to think about it. I was like, wait, like,

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 1>we do get along really well and we have so

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:37.520
<v Speaker 1>much in common, and I was like, but I can't

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:41.319
<v Speaker 1>incuse my artists. And then, as you know, like being on,

0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I took them on radio tour, so we spent a

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:49.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of time together travelers, and so then it became

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>very much undeniable. But I was still very hesitant and

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.759
<v Speaker 1>reserved because of work and um. But eventually we were like,

0:42:57.760 --> 0:42:59.759
<v Speaker 1>all right, this is serious and we had to have

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the conversation yet, like, you know, if if I'm going

0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to go have this talk with my bosses, this has

0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to be for real. And he's like, well, I've been

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 1>all in since the day I met you, so he

0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, you have to think about it for yourself,

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:15.759
<v Speaker 1>and it was yeah, he loved he did. He did,

0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and he still does thankfully, thankfully I haven't scared him

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:23.720
<v Speaker 1>away yet. But yeah, So then we told my bosses

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:26.319
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, well, it's not ideal, but like, we'll

0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:29.160
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. And we worked together for about nine

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:34.839
<v Speaker 1>months before and and all of this aside, I had

0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of come to the realization that what I thought

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 1>was my dream job was not for me, stemming back

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to my personality. That is a challenging job people to

0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 1>make sure, like you with people are trying not to correct,

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and so it was, it really was, it did, and

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that was ultimately like I I mean, I That's what

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I always say, is like I love Warner, I love

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:01.719
<v Speaker 1>so many of my friends at radio, but that specific

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>job crushed my soul and for everyone listening. Being a regional,

0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:07.800
<v Speaker 1>what Abby was is you have to go to the

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 1>radio stations, hang out with the head of the head

0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:15.160
<v Speaker 1>programmers of the stations, and you basically have to convince

0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:17.120
<v Speaker 1>them why they need to ask a song. And they

0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>are not hesitant at all to be like Shorty with

0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:23.759
<v Speaker 1>their feelings. They don't try to sugarcoat. And sometimes you're

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:26.800
<v Speaker 1>bearing your soul, like when you are truly passionate about

0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 1>something and then you're like, oh my gosh. And so

0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of rejection, it's a lot of hearing

0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>no and exactly like you said, I don't think I've

0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:35.960
<v Speaker 1>ever even thought of it in that way. Is that

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I want people to like me, and those people and

0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I was happing to prove myself and honestly giving you

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 1>all the reasons why they don't like in your artists

0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:49.239
<v Speaker 1>exactly and the nightmare it is. And I ultimately through

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of discussion with my family and Dan because

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it was, you know, it's I was so young. Um,

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:59.879
<v Speaker 1>I was twenty four, and then I was I did

0:44:59.880 --> 0:45:02.479
<v Speaker 1>it for sixteen months. Um, so I was twenty five

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:08.080
<v Speaker 1>when I eventually left. But I, um, it was like

0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you know you for a year old,

0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty good money. And so I was just like

0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:16.400
<v Speaker 1>in the and it was what I always wanted to do,

0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, what am I doing? But but

0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean it got to a point where I was

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:22.439
<v Speaker 1>so stressed, I mean, losing hair. It just like wasn't

0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a good fit for me. What is that when you

0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 1>have this dream your whole life, that this is what

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:30.919
<v Speaker 1>you want to do, this is your fairy tale. You

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:34.520
<v Speaker 1>get it. You're making great money, you're young, you're independent,

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:35.640
<v Speaker 1>you're living at your dream, and that all of a

0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:38.880
<v Speaker 1>sudden You're like, this is not what I thought. Now,

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:42.319
<v Speaker 1>do you feel insane? Kind of you totally lose your

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:45.279
<v Speaker 1>direction because you've held this thought for like years now,

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:47.360
<v Speaker 1>especially because you knew it at a young age. Yes,

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you feel weird. For decades you've believed that this And

0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have another plan, and so I was like,

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 1>what do I do? What happens? Well, I mean I

0:45:58.080 --> 0:45:59.799
<v Speaker 1>just had to really process it, and I was like,

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I think I have I really focused on the fact

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:05.239
<v Speaker 1>that I was only twenty five, and I was like,

0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to at thirty five have been doing

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:10.920
<v Speaker 1>this this whole time and been like and just forcing

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:13.399
<v Speaker 1>myself too because it was my dream and be like,

0:46:14.080 --> 0:46:16.000
<v Speaker 1>what am I doing? So I was like, you know what,

0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty five. I know my heart knows that this

0:46:19.000 --> 0:46:21.280
<v Speaker 1>is not where I'm going to be happy. That feeling

0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I just knew from my physical response for from the

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:29.359
<v Speaker 1>stress like and feeling how bad I felt. I knew

0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that I did not want to do that forever. Yes

0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it did, and there were certain like wonderful things about it,

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:39.319
<v Speaker 1>like I love Warner of course, and some people are

0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:42.279
<v Speaker 1>made for this job. Some people are and like the

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 1>competition of the people to be it is and some

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 1>people I was it does and everyone I knew. I

0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:55.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure that I was, like I was

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:58.000
<v Speaker 1>successful at it before I left, because I didn't want

0:46:58.040 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to leave it because I because I knew I didn't.

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:02.839
<v Speaker 1>It didn't feel right from the beginning, but I didn't

0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:04.719
<v Speaker 1>want to leave it, and I wanted to make sure

0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that it wasn't it didn't feel right because I just

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:11.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe wasn't succeeding at it. So I like put in

0:47:11.760 --> 0:47:15.959
<v Speaker 1>time and I yes, and so I was very good

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:18.600
<v Speaker 1>at it. But then that made me know for sure.

0:47:18.680 --> 0:47:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know what, like I know the

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>squirrels again, I was like, I know for sure that

0:47:23.960 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>because you didn't succeed, I'm quitting because it wasn't right.

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:30.760
<v Speaker 1>And and so I did that and Dan fully supported

0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:32.279
<v Speaker 1>all of that and was like we'll figure it out.

0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:35.480
<v Speaker 1>And it was the best decision. And it was the

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:38.680
<v Speaker 1>best of both worlds too, because again, how much I

0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:40.839
<v Speaker 1>love Warner and everyone in that building, I still get

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:43.759
<v Speaker 1>to see them all the time and spend time with them. Yes,

0:47:44.200 --> 0:47:46.440
<v Speaker 1>so I get to still be with my people, and

0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that is a highlight in our life. Yes, And it's

0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:52.879
<v Speaker 1>so They're just such wonderful people and we've been through

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:55.239
<v Speaker 1>so much together as co workers and then now as

0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Dan's wife, and it was definitely the best decision and

0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 1>it was great And Warner has changed my life because

0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I met Dan through them. That's how we got joy,

0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 1>That's how I got started and animal Rescue. I just

0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:08.840
<v Speaker 1>want to take a minute to say how awesome is

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:11.880
<v Speaker 1>it to hear how Abby has navigated her life. She

0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>had her dream job, she realized it was no longer

0:48:14.400 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>what she was passionate about. She let herself evolve. I

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like being a woman there are so many pieces

0:48:20.440 --> 0:48:22.919
<v Speaker 1>to it, and especially when you get to the point

0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in your life like I am, when you're ready to

0:48:25.280 --> 0:48:28.360
<v Speaker 1>add a baby into the picture, it is hard to conceive.

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's so there's like a tiny little fertile window,

0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and you have to find that fertile window each month,

0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:36.160
<v Speaker 1>or if you miss it, you gotta wait till the

0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:40.080
<v Speaker 1>next month, Peeing on the sticks, checking your temperature every day,

0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>playing the guessing game. Like I've said before, it's so difficult,

0:48:43.400 --> 0:48:45.719
<v Speaker 1>but ava bracelet makes it easy. All you have to

0:49:24.560 --> 0:49:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they're so. Rebecca Stirk Gordon Um was an A and

0:49:29.000 --> 0:49:31.400
<v Speaker 1>R at the time, and she was fostering this puppy

0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was sitting in my office. I could hear

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:34.840
<v Speaker 1>people cooing and I was like, it's either a puppy

0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 1>or a baby. And I went out there and it

0:49:36.560 --> 0:49:39.040
<v Speaker 1>was a puppy and it was her foster dog. And

0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I sent Dan a picture of her and he was like,

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you want to bring her home? I was like sure,

0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:47.439
<v Speaker 1>and so we took her to like on a trial run,

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and within a day, we knew we were going to

0:49:49.560 --> 0:49:51.640
<v Speaker 1>keep her. So we got this dog. And that was

0:49:51.680 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 1>my introduction to Proverbs. And that's the rescue. Yeah, and

0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that so Proverbs twelve to an animal rescue is um

0:49:58.000 --> 0:50:00.920
<v Speaker 1>rescued that Dan and I have become super super involved with.

0:50:01.000 --> 0:50:03.200
<v Speaker 1>And all three of our dogs are from there. And

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 1>she is the reason that I found Proverbs and so

0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and she was my first rescue. We had. Um. I

0:50:10.520 --> 0:50:12.520
<v Speaker 1>had a lab that I had gotten from a breeder,

0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:14.680
<v Speaker 1>just because my parents had gotten dogs from breeders and

0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know any different. And um, she was my

0:50:18.080 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 1>intro and she's we call her the original rescue. And

0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:25.320
<v Speaker 1>she was my original rescue. And she's making funny noises

0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and she sees a squirrel. I know, girl, um um,

0:50:32.600 --> 0:50:36.680
<v Speaker 1>but she is. She was the reason that I became

0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:40.120
<v Speaker 1>so passionate about animal rescue, and now it's like my

0:50:40.160 --> 0:50:44.520
<v Speaker 1>whole life. I try. I try to volunteer as much

0:50:44.520 --> 0:50:47.399
<v Speaker 1>as I can. I try to help bring attention to them,

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:51.360
<v Speaker 1>to help get talks adopted. Yes, I will transport dogs

0:50:51.360 --> 0:50:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we foster when we can. Um. And I try to

0:50:55.719 --> 0:51:00.000
<v Speaker 1>bring awareness to not just their cause, but adoption in general,

0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:03.600
<v Speaker 1>because I know that I wasn't super familiar with rescue

0:51:03.719 --> 0:51:06.840
<v Speaker 1>until I got really familiar with rescue, and I just

0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:09.680
<v Speaker 1>want people to know that it's an option. I hate

0:51:09.680 --> 0:51:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it because people are always like, don't judge me. I

0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:14.520
<v Speaker 1>did this, and I don't care, like I don't have

0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:19.439
<v Speaker 1>any judgment. I always say that, I always will say

0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:22.720
<v Speaker 1>rescue a dog. That is my philosophy. That's how I feel.

0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:25.279
<v Speaker 1>But if that doesn't work for someone, that's okay. There's

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:28.160
<v Speaker 1>no judgment. I just want to bring awareness to how

0:51:28.280 --> 0:51:32.080
<v Speaker 1>wonderful rescue dogs are and how many great dogs there

0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:35.279
<v Speaker 1>are in shelters that need a second chance. And we've

0:51:35.320 --> 0:51:37.880
<v Speaker 1>always had rescue dogs and they're the best dogs. They

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:41.840
<v Speaker 1>might have their little quirks from their abuses, they've had trauma. Ye,

0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they're the sweetest they are and they just love. Yeah.

0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean like I am my dog's whole world. And

0:51:49.480 --> 0:51:53.200
<v Speaker 1>that is like a really cool feeling. Like these babies

0:51:53.239 --> 0:51:56.040
<v Speaker 1>love me so much and I and they bring so

0:51:56.120 --> 0:51:58.680
<v Speaker 1>much to me too. The dinner table and on the

0:51:58.760 --> 0:52:01.160
<v Speaker 1>desk and on the table and in the chair that

0:52:01.480 --> 0:52:04.800
<v Speaker 1>when we first moved into this house, Caroline came over

0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:07.920
<v Speaker 1>for dinner and we're just all sitting there eating pizza.

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We had like no furniture, nothing going on, and we

0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:12.799
<v Speaker 1>just look over and Ghosts had just sat down like

0:52:12.880 --> 0:52:14.759
<v Speaker 1>he was one of the girls. He's sitting there, how

0:52:14.800 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 1>to play the pizza in front of him. This is dinner.

0:52:18.960 --> 0:52:22.360
<v Speaker 1>This is what we do. Um. And it happens pretty

0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:25.160
<v Speaker 1>regularly with the Chief when Dan and I are having dinner,

0:52:25.200 --> 0:52:28.040
<v Speaker 1>he'll just come sit in one of the like captain's chairs,

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:31.920
<v Speaker 1>like again to the Chief of the house. It's so great.

0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>But that was so special watching the skyrocket of Dan

0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:39.439
<v Speaker 1>and Chair's success. It has been crazy this past year

0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that you feel it's the last year has just been

0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 1>so crazy because having been with Dan for the last

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.120
<v Speaker 1>five and a half years and be taking them on

0:52:51.239 --> 0:52:54.600
<v Speaker 1>radio tour and being seeing where there when no one

0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.840
<v Speaker 1>showed up to anything, and then there's just been a shift. Um,

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it was most busy a bole this summer

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:06.319
<v Speaker 1>with tequila, for sure. Tequila has changed our lives. Thank you,

0:53:06.560 --> 0:53:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Reynolds and Nicole Galleon. Um, it has changed our lives.

0:53:09.920 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 1>That one song that's just like the game changer. I

0:53:12.600 --> 0:53:14.399
<v Speaker 1>mean they have a lot of songs. The one that's

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:16.960
<v Speaker 1>just like Okay, yes, this is the game changer and

0:53:17.040 --> 0:53:20.520
<v Speaker 1>it has been and it's been so special to watch it.

0:53:20.600 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 1>We all loved that song and but we never could

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:25.200
<v Speaker 1>have predicted what it was going to do. So what

0:53:25.239 --> 0:53:28.520
<v Speaker 1>did it do exactly? I mean it has been the

0:53:28.600 --> 0:53:32.320
<v Speaker 1>song has not only was it their fastest chart rise

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:35.839
<v Speaker 1>in terms of number one, but it's just been from

0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a radio standpoint, but from a sales standpoint, it's been

0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:44.680
<v Speaker 1>really crazy. Um, from just opening up new doors for

0:53:44.719 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 1>them and yeah, it's at pop radio right now, um,

0:53:49.480 --> 0:53:53.520
<v Speaker 1>which is really cool and exciting, and it's been it's

0:53:53.560 --> 0:53:55.799
<v Speaker 1>just been this. I think it introduced them to a

0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:58.439
<v Speaker 1>whole new audience as well, and so it's just kind

0:53:58.440 --> 0:54:03.240
<v Speaker 1>of what it's their fan base grow a lot, and um,

0:54:03.320 --> 0:54:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you see it at shows and I think that's been

0:54:05.120 --> 0:54:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing for me to watch, just having been

0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:09.759
<v Speaker 1>at the shows in the beginning and now being at them.

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:12.919
<v Speaker 1>It's just a whole different energy in such a cool way.

0:54:13.080 --> 0:54:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And and I mean we who's like, now Speechless is

0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:20.919
<v Speaker 1>going to be their fastest song, um, and that's really

0:54:20.920 --> 0:54:25.640
<v Speaker 1>cool to Yes, that's the wedding video one and that's

0:54:25.719 --> 0:54:28.759
<v Speaker 1>so but we don't it is and that's real I mean,

0:54:28.760 --> 0:54:31.320
<v Speaker 1>we've had people asked us if that was a recreated wedding,

0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:34.600
<v Speaker 1>where like, Nope, those were actual weddings. We didn't recreate them.

0:54:35.400 --> 0:54:38.600
<v Speaker 1>But who's to say that Speechless would have had that

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:42.960
<v Speaker 1>same platform without Tequila, you know. Um, And so Tequila

0:54:43.080 --> 0:54:48.400
<v Speaker 1>has just been transformative, and we always tried to be

0:54:48.560 --> 0:54:52.399
<v Speaker 1>very grateful and happy for what it has done for us.

0:54:52.480 --> 0:54:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And even from we were talking about it a couple

0:54:55.200 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of nights ago, it's like Jordan Reynolds, who wrote the

0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:02.359
<v Speaker 1>song with Dan and Nicole Gal and we um, we

0:55:02.560 --> 0:55:06.239
<v Speaker 1>would not have known him and he is now our

0:55:06.280 --> 0:55:08.879
<v Speaker 1>best friend. He and his wife Taylor, like they bought

0:55:08.880 --> 0:55:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a house we are we're calling it the house Tequila

0:55:11.520 --> 0:55:14.600
<v Speaker 1>built a mile away from us, like they were able

0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:18.359
<v Speaker 1>to buy a new home, and they are just they're

0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:21.000
<v Speaker 1>just such special people and we just wouldn't have that

0:55:21.040 --> 0:55:24.240
<v Speaker 1>friendship without that song. So even at like the base level,

0:55:24.320 --> 0:55:27.400
<v Speaker 1>despite all this stuff that it's done for Dan's career

0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in Shea's career, it's like it's been just even on

0:55:31.880 --> 0:55:34.239
<v Speaker 1>a personal level, it's like allowed us to have that

0:55:34.320 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 1>new friendship and that relationship that we cherish so much.

0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:40.640
<v Speaker 1>And then I mean then Jordan's has six songs on

0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the records, but it all started from Tequila and he

0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and Dan right all the time, and it's just like

0:55:45.880 --> 0:55:48.359
<v Speaker 1>a really special friendship that they have that never would

0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:51.000
<v Speaker 1>have come about without it. So I try to think

0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:55.480
<v Speaker 1>about those things too that are so much that seems

0:55:55.520 --> 0:55:59.120
<v Speaker 1>smaller than really than yeah, than double platinum records and

0:55:59.200 --> 0:56:02.160
<v Speaker 1>like things like that, but it's but they're huge there.

0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:05.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like that's such a special thing and we'll cherish

0:56:05.600 --> 0:56:09.680
<v Speaker 1>them forever and ever. So it's cool. What have you

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.719
<v Speaker 1>noticed about fame? The good, the good aspects and the

0:56:12.960 --> 0:56:18.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe not as delightful aspects. Um, the good is And

0:56:18.320 --> 0:56:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I think this goes back to our social media talk.

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that the platform allows you to raise awareness

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:27.919
<v Speaker 1>for things so with I mean just on like such

0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a small level, there's we get more adoption applications at

0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:35.760
<v Speaker 1>proverbs because of it and things like that. Um, so

0:56:36.000 --> 0:56:39.320
<v Speaker 1>it gives you an opportunity to be influential that you

0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:45.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have. UM. I think it's the negative obviously is

0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:52.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe for for Dana, attention that he doesn't want and

0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:57.479
<v Speaker 1>music exactly. He loves making music, and um, the fame

0:56:57.560 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 1>part is just an element of that the artist thing,

0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:04.120
<v Speaker 1>but he's not an attention guy, so I think that's

0:57:04.120 --> 0:57:07.759
<v Speaker 1>definitely something that he struggles with. But again, it all

0:57:07.840 --> 0:57:11.560
<v Speaker 1>comes back to being a positive because his music is

0:57:11.560 --> 0:57:13.600
<v Speaker 1>being heard by more people, and the stuff that he

0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:16.240
<v Speaker 1>slaves over a day in and day out to create

0:57:16.400 --> 0:57:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's getting Yeah, more people are getting to see it

0:57:19.000 --> 0:57:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and hear it and um feel it, and that's a

0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:26.640
<v Speaker 1>really big positive. I don't think I find too many

0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:29.280
<v Speaker 1>negatives in all of it. Um. I think there's way

0:57:29.280 --> 0:57:32.439
<v Speaker 1>more positive than negative, which is a really good thing.

0:57:32.480 --> 0:57:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And thankfully people are pretty nice to us for the

0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:39.560
<v Speaker 1>most part about this community of women because the wives

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of country music artist and just like entertainment industry people

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in general, it's a strong community. It's the best explained

0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to be about this community because it's rare. I'm gonna

0:57:49.160 --> 0:57:52.760
<v Speaker 1>probably feel really emotional about it today, just with um

0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the week that we have had that has been filled

0:57:54.880 --> 0:58:00.440
<v Speaker 1>with a little bit of disappointment. Um. I yes, this

0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:06.480
<v Speaker 1>is weird talking two days after CEM and it's okay, UM,

0:58:06.520 --> 0:58:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know that, No, it was a disappointing week

0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's and you know, there's been a lot of

0:58:13.760 --> 0:58:16.480
<v Speaker 1>sadness in that and just listening. It's because Danity were

0:58:16.520 --> 0:58:17.840
<v Speaker 1>nominated for two of the year and it was a

0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:19.919
<v Speaker 1>great I mean, it was a great group of people.

0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:22.040
<v Speaker 1>But this was like a moment for them. It's been

0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a big year for us. And and four nominations. We

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:28.040
<v Speaker 1>thought at least one this year. Um, we thought we

0:58:28.160 --> 0:58:32.280
<v Speaker 1>thought one. And so there's some disappointment. Doesn't mean yeah,

0:58:32.920 --> 0:58:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been sad about yeah. And it's not to say

0:58:35.560 --> 0:58:37.880
<v Speaker 1>that anyone was more or less deserving of a win.

0:58:38.160 --> 0:58:43.040
<v Speaker 1>We just were hopeful, um. And we love everybody in

0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:45.560
<v Speaker 1>this community and everyone that won, and it is but

0:58:45.640 --> 0:58:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it's that doesn't mean that there isn't some sadness and

0:58:47.960 --> 0:58:52.200
<v Speaker 1>disappointment and a loss. So and and overall this year

0:58:52.440 --> 0:58:55.760
<v Speaker 1>is a win, there's but it just on on such

0:58:55.760 --> 0:59:00.960
<v Speaker 1>a big platform. Judgment hurts, um. But the biggest thing

0:59:01.320 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and positive of all this was the support system I

0:59:04.360 --> 0:59:10.200
<v Speaker 1>had in my fellow wives. Um. They the messages and

0:59:10.840 --> 0:59:15.080
<v Speaker 1>texts and things of love that I received that night

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and yesterday, um are I mean, that's what we talked about.

0:59:20.240 --> 0:59:22.960
<v Speaker 1>That's just such a I cherished that so much and

0:59:23.000 --> 0:59:25.320
<v Speaker 1>it not only meant so much to me, but to me,

0:59:25.440 --> 0:59:30.440
<v Speaker 1>then that's the wind in itself. Um, I was Haley

0:59:30.680 --> 0:59:33.880
<v Speaker 1>for the most I just adore her more than life.

0:59:33.880 --> 0:59:37.240
<v Speaker 1>But Haley Hubbard sent me some of the most encouraging

0:59:37.400 --> 0:59:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and loving texts, and we were up for a lot

0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:44.640
<v Speaker 1>of the same awards. Yes, so we lost, they lost too,

0:59:45.840 --> 0:59:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And yes, and so she, of course, I'm sure feels

0:59:50.840 --> 0:59:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the same disappointment that we felt. And but I know

0:59:54.120 --> 0:59:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and I know Tyler reached out to Dan too, And

0:59:56.680 --> 1:00:00.680
<v Speaker 1>but the words of encouragement in things that she shared

1:00:00.720 --> 1:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>with me yesterday made me and even again today, like

1:00:03.760 --> 1:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I heard from her first thing in the morning. It's

1:00:05.600 --> 1:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like that is such a precious, precious thing. And I

1:00:09.680 --> 1:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know if other genres have the same community that

1:00:12.880 --> 1:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>we do. They might, um, but I think it would

1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>be hard to match the friendships and the loyalty and

1:00:18.240 --> 1:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>just the genuine love we all share for one another.

1:00:20.720 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>And I mean this includes you. Um. It's just we

1:00:23.960 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>have these like girls who want everyone to succeed and

1:00:28.560 --> 1:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>we want our husbands to succeed equally, and there's just

1:00:32.520 --> 1:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>no competition in it, and that each other right, and

1:00:37.120 --> 1:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>like it's so real and like we understand each other

1:00:40.880 --> 1:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>in a way that maybe not everyone can and because

1:00:43.840 --> 1:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>we're all living these same lives, and but I just

1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I find it so precious that even though we are

1:00:50.160 --> 1:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>in a world that has competition, that we don't view

1:00:53.960 --> 1:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it that way. We all want each other to succeed.

1:00:56.680 --> 1:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>We route each other on. We want everyone to have success,

1:00:59.680 --> 1:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>because then that means we're all going to have success together.

1:01:02.240 --> 1:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to not have everyone having a great time, exactly,

1:01:06.000 --> 1:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately the success that everyone has pushes the genre

1:01:09.440 --> 1:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>forward and that opens more doors for all of us.

1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's so true, and we just all want it

1:01:14.960 --> 1:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>for each other, and I find it just really special

1:01:19.640 --> 1:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that we get to have it. Sometimes I can't believe

1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>it because I know we have such a large group

1:01:25.440 --> 1:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>of women who are so kind, so costs are and

1:01:29.560 --> 1:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you said, everybody wants to succeed, but like

1:01:32.400 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>everybody wants every everybody to route for everyone, And you

1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>feel the pain and we all feel it for each other. Yes,

1:01:39.320 --> 1:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you see the whole story in the picture and you're

1:01:41.360 --> 1:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>just like you just feel it. We're all real with

1:01:43.400 --> 1:01:47.320
<v Speaker 1>our feelings about it, and it's so important and I

1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>just feel that's just like the most treasured thing of

1:01:50.280 --> 1:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>all of this, and that might be the positive of

1:01:54.440 --> 1:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>all of the success is the friendships that we've gained

1:01:58.360 --> 1:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>from it and getting to just be on a ride

1:02:01.880 --> 1:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>with a really amazing group of people, and it's really

1:02:04.760 --> 1:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>really special, and you know, it's like those friendships mean

1:02:10.200 --> 1:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>more than any award. So yeah, there, it's really really awesome.

1:02:15.560 --> 1:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we're Dan and I are really lucky

1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to to get to have Shaye and Hannah on it

1:02:21.440 --> 1:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>with us. You know, like we get to share in

1:02:24.800 --> 1:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the ups with people, but we get to also have

1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the support in the downs. It makes it you're not

1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>as alone in it. We're sharing the same feelings and

1:02:33.240 --> 1:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't like a sibling or something, right, just to

1:02:35.480 --> 1:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>be able to talk about it, right, get it. Yeah,

1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>we feel the same things and you don't feel as

1:02:40.360 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>alone in it. There's someone else that's sharing in your

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>joys and in the sads too. So it's you know,

1:02:47.400 --> 1:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we're really lucky in this community and Nashville is so

1:02:50.440 --> 1:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>special and I don't think that there's any other community

1:02:54.000 --> 1:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>like it. I don't. Right, chief, we're going to wrap up,

1:02:57.280 --> 1:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>wrap up, to wrap up a little bit before actually

1:02:59.280 --> 1:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the last question, why is it important to be vulnerable

1:03:02.000 --> 1:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and to be able to share, because that's really hard

1:03:04.360 --> 1:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to do. It is, it's so hard, and like being

1:03:07.160 --> 1:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>putting yourself out there is and from someone who deals

1:03:10.640 --> 1:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>with extreme anxiety, it's like really hard to put yourself

1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>out there because the second I share something vulnerable, I

1:03:17.160 --> 1:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like immediately want to take a vulnerability. Yes, you're like,

1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, I shouldn't have shared that. I feel naked,

1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>like I put a naked picture of me on Instagram. Right,

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh my gosh, I shared way too much

1:03:29.840 --> 1:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and now that's not going to be accepted. But then

1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>of the time it is, and then I'm so grateful

1:03:36.680 --> 1:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>for it, Like and you know your heart is good, right,

1:03:38.960 --> 1:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what you shared was for a reason. And

1:03:41.280 --> 1:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I think when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and

1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>then we get the response that we were looking for,

1:03:48.000 --> 1:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>then it's like makes it so much bigger because if

1:03:50.120 --> 1:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you're not sharing anything and you're just having these like

1:03:53.200 --> 1:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>surface level interactions, then yeah, you're not putting yourself out

1:03:57.120 --> 1:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>there and you're not going to be scared, but then

1:03:59.000 --> 1:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't get the response that like heals you or

1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and like when you put yourself out there and then

1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you have someone be like I'm so glad you shared

1:04:08.080 --> 1:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that or I feel that same way, like here and

1:04:12.040 --> 1:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>feeling like you're not alone in your feelings. That's a really,

1:04:15.640 --> 1:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>really big part of it. And it goes back to

1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>me telling you to listen to the John Bellian Record

1:04:20.280 --> 1:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>because he's the most vulnerable artist. I mean it is.

1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:27.280
<v Speaker 1>It's insane to me, like the things that but there

1:04:27.320 --> 1:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>are things that we're all feeling, and if he didn't

1:04:29.760 --> 1:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>share those feelings, like I wouldn't be sitting here telling

1:04:32.560 --> 1:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you about it and telling you how much it made

1:04:35.280 --> 1:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>me feel and allowing me to be vulnerable too. That

1:04:39.640 --> 1:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I love. That wrap up this whole things inspiring, but

1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>leave your light if you're going to pass something on,

1:04:46.800 --> 1:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>like with how you would wish you're, what you're trying

1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to do with your life, how you want to inspire others,

1:04:53.160 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you're talking to young people or just somebody

1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>who's looking up to you and saying like, man, you're amazing.

1:04:59.080 --> 1:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>How do I get to be you? Or or how

1:05:00.920 --> 1:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>do you know? What is your inspiration? My biggest thing,

1:05:04.680 --> 1:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and I've been thinking about this a lot lately, is

1:05:06.560 --> 1:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I want all of us to do something. Um, there

1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is a lot going on in our world and a

1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of negative and I think sometimes it's easy to

1:05:14.360 --> 1:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>be complacent, um, because we're all very fortunate and very blessed.

1:05:19.160 --> 1:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>As something Caroline and I were talking about before we

1:05:21.160 --> 1:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>started this, and I think I think we all need

1:05:25.240 --> 1:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to do something bigger, whether it is animal rescue or

1:05:32.280 --> 1:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>bringing someone food that is experiencing homelessness, or even just

1:05:37.240 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>as small as being kind to one another. I think

1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a place right now where I just want

1:05:41.600 --> 1:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to make try and make a difference in whatever way

1:05:44.360 --> 1:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that it is, and I think we all need to

1:05:46.000 --> 1:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>do that. And um, even if it was as simple

1:05:49.240 --> 1:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>as if you voted a couple of weeks ago, that's

1:05:51.360 --> 1:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>so important. Um. I just want to make sure that

1:05:54.360 --> 1:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>we're all thinking about the impact that we're making on

1:05:57.880 --> 1:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the world and try and be a positive one. If

1:06:00.160 --> 1:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>we all do something positive collectively, just a little bit,

1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the ripple effect, it's huge, yes, And it's really important

1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>right now because there's a lot of negativity that we

1:06:08.400 --> 1:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>could focus on, but I really want to focus on

1:06:11.080 --> 1:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the positive and trying to make something good in this world.

1:06:16.120 --> 1:06:23.919
<v Speaker 1>I love that, I love it. I love you. Okay, bye,
