WEBVTT - Just B Rant: Sober Curious

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about dry January. Let's talk about sober. Let's

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about sober curious. Let's talk about sober ish. Let's

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about California Sober. I have a wine brand, Forever Young.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>It is a superb wine. It is a beautiful bottle.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It is delicious. It has a gorgeous floral bottle with

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>a glass enclosure. It is elite. If it came out

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>at a different time, it would be every bit as

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>successful as Whispering Angel or Rock Angel. It is every bit,

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>if not better. It is excellent wine. Like anything else

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>is marketing, Rose is crowded. It became the hottest space.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>When I was growing up, Rose was like not even

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a wine. It was like this zinfandet. It just wasn't

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a wine. And while it does well, the distribution isn't explosive.

0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not skinny girl. I didn't invent something new. It's

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>not a ready to drink cocktail, which I started the

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>space of ready to drink low calorie. I started the

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 1>whole you know, packaged margarita thing I started. I started

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the celebrity uh cocktail space as we know it. And

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I was sort of dipping back in and going back

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in versus like starting something new. The ma the sober

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>life is interesting. Alcohol is down. It is almost like

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a reaction and a rebellion to what was going on

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>during the pandemic. When alcohol was up. Alcohol was up,

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>luxury goods were up. A lot of things were swollen,

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>like you know, the watch, the luxury watch business. Obviously,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>travel was down. At home learning was up, Zoom was like,

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a million things, but one of the

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>trends was that alcohol was crazy. People were gaining weight

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and drinking a lot, and then the pendulum swung and

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>sober is a reaction. It's a reaction and it's a

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>new way of life. Young gen z they're not really drinking.

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, young kids do edibles, et cetera. You make

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>your own choices about what you think about that. But basically,

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>drinking trends are down, and I'm finding that, you know,

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had any alcohol in a minute. I have pots,

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 1>which makes me severely dehydrated. It's almost like a Shashido pepper.

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 1>One to two out of every twenty times I'll drink,

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it'll hit really very dangerous and bad and dehydrated and

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>like need an ivy and it just doesn't work for

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>me really, but like is it boring? And how do

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 1>you handle social drinking and how do you handle dating?

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Dating is a big one. Dating is hard to do

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>without drinking. It's something to do, and so like now

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of non alcoholic options, but of

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a weird do you feel uncomfortable and there are sober

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>bars and it's kind of something you have to break through,

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you have to break through. It's almost like

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a juice fast and you start to really start feeling

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>healthier and lighter and your eyes whiter and sleeping better

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>after a certain period of time, and with being sober,

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like sugar gets out of system and you become

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a little less social. You definitely do you're not staying

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>out late doing stupid things, but it kind of can

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>become your personality a little, particularly if you're not an alcoholic,

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>like if you're just a person who can choose. Yesterday,

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I was trying non alcoholic wines, which all suck, by

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, and took a sip of an alcoholic wine

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>by accident because I didn't realize and like, I'm not

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>going to die, We're not going to go on a bender,

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.839
<v Speaker 1>which by the way a real serious alcoholic. It could

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>be very bad. But you see that, and I think

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Alex Cooper talked about this before the holidays. You see

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that people really pressure what do you mean you're not drinking?

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? Like New Year's Eve, we didn't

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I was out on a date and we didn't drink,

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and like that was a feat. You had to sort

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>of plan ahead, like what are we going to drink?

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>What's our cocktail choice? What's our vibe? Like you could

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you're standing around for a couple of hours and it's

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>like what are we doing? What's our activity? Some people

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>are displacing, that's the California sober now. They want to

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>do edibles and they want to smoke pup Like I

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to displace with another thing, like well, I

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>want to just get a bag of cocaine, but not

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>drink alcohol like you know, and I know people who

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>like do crazy shit. It's like, let's do heroin and

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>get a facial mask and drink water and I'm not

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>even kidding. So to just be sober and you need

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>other things like what's the other thing? Is there good

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>music so then you can dance? Is are you going

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to something that's an activity like do you have a

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>sober partner, how do you handle what's your party line

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>for what to say to somebody who's peer pressure in you?

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Which will happen into your adult, middle aged, senior citizen life,

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Like it's not just for college kids. My answer would

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>be you do you, I'll do me, or it's for

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>health read you know. But I think it's an interesting

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>space and interesting conversation, and I think it's something to watch.

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the mocktail space and I'm watching this entire

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>space because it's also like social consciousness health, it's wellness.

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>There have been a lot of changes in the way

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that the Surgeon General the health community looks at drinking.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's just something to discuss. Certainly, liquor brands are

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>declining and freaking out. Okay, story about Demi Moore seemingly

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>or allegedly snubbing Kylie Jenner at the Golden Globes because

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>she didn't say hello to her directly, and Kylie wanted

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>her to say hello. Who the hell gives a shit?

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Kylie Jenner Demi Moore don't know each other. Necessarily doesn't

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>look like it in that video. You don't have to

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>say hello to every single person that's famous, then you're

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>an asshole. Also, oh, it's the famous person saying hello

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to other famous person's club. Like she's at a table,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>she was like trying to insert herself in the conversation.

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Who cares? That happens all the time with celebrities. Who

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>gives a shit just because she's Kylie? Like good for

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Demi Moore for not like caring. She might have said

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a load to the waitress, but not Kylie Jenner, Like

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>it's so fucking stupid. It doesn't like like sometimes I'll

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>not at someone and they'll not at me because they

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>are aware of who I am and I'm aware of

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>who they are, basically just because we're public people. And

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>then it feels really superficial and stupid too. It's like, yes,

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm famous, you're famous. I'm not that famous. You're more famous,

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 1>you're less famous, you know what I mean. Like it's

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of like dog sniffing in the dog park. But

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>at that event where Demi Moore got her first acting award,

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and she's probably worried about her outfit and saying hello

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to the right person, and what is she's saying? You

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>don't have to go say a lot to every single person,

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it's okay. Just because Kylie Jenner's a billionaire with

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 1>a sister who as a cashmir aligned plane doesn't mean

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Demi Moore did something wrong by not saying hello to her.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>People are crazy and it's just clickbait. I mean, you know,

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just and her daughter chimed in, like give it

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a fucking rest, I think because it is, like, give

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it a fucking rest. Who actually as a crap? So

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>in dating on dating profiles, I've been correcting and editing

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>people's dating profiles. It's really fun, and you'd be shocked

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>at how shitty people's dating profiles are. You couldn't believe

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the mistakes that people make, like the in your face

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>way that someone answers the prompts on an app that

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>would alienate anyone. And for me, I'm a pretty fucking harsh,

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>aggressive person. Like, but I'm still aware that you don't

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>need to like kick someone in the teeth in your

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>dating profile, and you don't need like a picture of

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself with four hot girlfriends, or your mommy and your

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>picture or your child with a hearty face emoji. But chlone, behold,

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I've found all of these things in very smart and

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>savvy people's dating profiles. But anyway, one of the things

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that so the men want to show the picture with

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>their kids, so they'll sometimes put the emoji face over

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>or just show the kids because they want to show

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that they're a dad, and like they want to it's

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>like puppy at the park, like bait for the women

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, saying dad. You know, it's proud dad

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>too or whatever. Girl, Dad is a little cheesy, but

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, that's fine, Like we don't need a picture

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of you with your kids. I know a guy who

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>had like his arms around the kids in three pictures.

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like they want to show how involved they are.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Very involved, Dad, I'm very involved. It's so irritating because

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>women don't say I'm a very involved mom, Like it's pretentious.

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's also like, no shit, I'm a very involved mom.

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>You guys like you're gonna get an extra cookie. It's

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>almost like the way that like men can be a

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>dick and not be called a name, but women, if

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>they're bitchy in business or straightforward, they're a total like

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>miserable bitch, you know, and like it's it would be,

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like how someone like Hillary would be probably Hillary or

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Kamalo would And it's not a Democrat Republican thing. I

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>just these are the candidates that were women would be

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 1>perceived versus like a Donald Trump in the boardroom or something.

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>But it's the same thing in the sense that it's

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>such a double standard. Like very involved. Imagine I was like, yeah,

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a very involved mom. A fuck off, you pretentious loser.

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>B You don't get a cookie for that. That's basically

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that's like signing your name on the SAT. It's like

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you get that, that's it. That's like you just that's

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the three hundred points for signing it. Like you shouldn't

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>even get the three undred points for signing your name.

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just annoying. It's like a man should not need

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to say very involved dad anymore than he needs to

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>put his fucking kid kitty emoji anymore that he needs

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to be holding a giant fish. And by the way,

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm allergic to fish. So it's gonna be a big

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>turnoff on your dating profile if I see that. Okay,

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>very involved dad, thank you. This is just a quick

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>business rant because I have partners in very many different

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>categories from popcorn to shape ord to salad dressing, to mocktails,

0:09:54.920 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to books, to podcasts to everything okay, and particularly with products,

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>if you were interested in a product or launching a

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>brand or a service or an idea, do not ever

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>assume someone is smarter than you. And the reason I

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>say this is because the most success I've ever had

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>was with a partner who was moderately successful in the space,

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>not the big dog in the space. I had nothing

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>going on, and we just pushed something through ourselves. And

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>had we listened to the market and listened to the

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>advice and listen to all the people that told me

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>what to do, who were experts in that space, the

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>liquor industry, we would have bonded. And ever since that

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>biggest success, I've been very successful at other things and

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 1>made more money on other things than even the cocktail,

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>but never had like such a concentrated boom, like just

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a you know, not an instant, but like a power

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>success where you turned and like you had a liquidity event.

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>And now I find that everybody's relying on data and

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I had this happen with a partner or in a

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>specific drink where I told them what I wanted to do.

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I referenced a specific product that I love that I

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>thought was going all the way. They had all this

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>data to tell me what it was, what it was,

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and what the market was doing. We were going after

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>what the market was doing, and it was a similar

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>product to other products, and I knew it was not

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 1>going to hit because I just felt like we were copying.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I don't want to do what

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody else already did, but do it differently, Like I

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>want to start a new idea. Wait, but this is

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>what people are doing. I don't care people are doing.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't care people have been doing. I'm going to

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>educate them and I'm going to influence them to do

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>something new. To want this new thing. It doesn't exist yet,

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna goro margarita. Low calorie didn't exist in cocktails.

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Ready to drink didn't exist in cocktails in the way

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that it is today. Low calorie ready to drink certainly

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't exist. Celebrities didn't exist in cocktails. All of this

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>seemed crazy to people because it was new. It was new.

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>And I say this because the other day I was

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>telling a partner mind, what we need to do and

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>they were reading me data sheets, and I was like,

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>data is great. It's good for you to support and

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>be comfortable by data. But if we're looking at people

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>already have done, or what your data is telling you

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>based on what people have done, we're already lost. I

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>tell people what they're gonna want. I show people what

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna want. So do not let the market drive

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>what you do, and don't let everyone else's opinion and

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the deep data dive totally inform what you're gonna do.

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>It's good to listen, it's good to talk to people,

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't mean that they're going to be right.

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>You have a gut for a reason, and you know

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>what could land. And if something smells fishy it doesn't

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>seem like it's gonna work, then it probably won't because

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 1>you have to be fully behind it
