Happy New Year. 77 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: Happy New Year, I know, honestly, I'm really happy that 78 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: this is one of the first things I'm doing on 79 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 3: the first work day of twenty twenty two. It feels 80 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: like very intentional, very positive, good vibe. 81 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: So I told you today to come in with a word. 82 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: Now, did you think about what your word was for 83 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one? 84 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: You know, I very much think about it, and it's 85 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: very interesting, Emily. Every year at the end of the year, 86 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I write a letter to myself about the year, because 87 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: sometimes we forget what happens over a period of three 88 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days and what is going to 89 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: be the one thing that defines it. So I thought 90 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: about it because in twenty twenty it was about pivoting, right, 91 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: you didn't even think about it. You had to pivot. 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: You had to do what you had to do. So 93 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: in our business, for example, we had to pivot in 94 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: six days from physical to virtual. We had to rethink 95 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: our transformation. So it was pivot. And when I thought 96 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: about this year, it was really about perseverance. And you know, 97 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: if you think about twenty twenty one, this idea of 98 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: perseverance and prioritization, and yes, I like themes of words, 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: but how could we block out the noise about the 100 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: things that could distract us, no matter how difficult the situation. 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: And that was definitely a theme. And I was reading 102 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: something today where they use the expression pandemic purgatory, and 103 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people felt that way in 104 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and you had to really think about 105 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: how you were going to manage because in a year 106 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: that we were hoping for a respite from what we 107 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: all went through in twenty twenty, you know, I started 108 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: the year committing to habit and prioritization, and I realized 109 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: that I had to be more comfortable with discomfort. So 110 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: that really for me define twenty twenty one now, and 111 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it later. As I think about twenty 112 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: twenty two. You know, my word is purpose, and you 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: know it's really about having the clarity of what we 114 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: want in life. But what we've learned through all of 115 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: this is, you know, we have to be willing to 116 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: be flexible and you know, flexible and focused at the 117 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: same time, but definitely perseverance. 118 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: Flexible and focused at the same time. I love that. 119 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: And I think that you're talking about priorities and kind 120 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 3: of having some grace with ourselves when it comes to 121 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: going after the things that we want. That's something that 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: I can say I certainly struggled with at times. I'm 123 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: sure a lot of people listening to this, we'll say 124 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: that they struggled with this at times, having that grace 125 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: and like being okay with the fact that on our journey, 126 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: as we've been kind of trudging through the mud over 127 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: the last twelve twenty four months, things haven't looked as 128 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: we had hoped, But that doesn't mean that we can't 129 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: continue to keep pushing forward. So for you, on your 130 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: journey of perseverance, how have you managed to keep that 131 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: trudge going forward on the days that really just feel 132 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 3: like you are totally stuck in the think of it. 133 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: I think some of it is giving yourself permission to 134 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: sometimes sit back and stop and go, you know what, 135 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: I can't do anything right this second. Right, I need 136 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: just to take a break. I need to think it through. 137 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: I need to think what is the best outcome that 138 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm hoping for, and then how am I going to 139 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: go about it? You know, And we've all been so 140 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: built for perfection, right that in this environment we've had 141 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: to be okay. Right, So things that in a perfect 142 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: world I would have said I want this done by 143 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: this date and then you had a disruption. You have 144 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: to give yourself permission to say, this is a journey. 145 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: We're doing all the right things and we're going to 146 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: get there, but we may have to be more flexible 147 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: in the timeline because what you don't want to do 148 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: is shortcut what's going to be right for you in 149 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: the long term. So it's definitely been a balance of 150 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: short term and long term, but making sure that your 151 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: prioritization and your focus are on the right things. You 152 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: have to, like, not be distracted by the noise. 153 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: Let's talk about distraction and maybe get a little granular 154 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: with this for just a moment, because I hear what 155 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 3: you're saying, and it makes me think of like practical 156 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: applications in our day to day. 157 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: Right. 158 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: It's kind of like that piece of advice that we 159 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: often hear. 160 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: It's like, don't make it to do list that has 161 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty things on it. Instead, make it 162 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: to do list that has four or five actual tasks 163 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: that you could see yourself doing throughout the day. Do 164 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: you have any other tips or tricks or takeaways that 165 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: help you kind of home in on the vision and 166 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 3: the short term to help you be more productive in 167 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: your day to day. 168 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: I do think that, you know, I use this expression 169 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: there's a to do list and it to don't list, 170 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: And I think we've all been, you know, a little 171 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: guilty of trying again to do too much. And I 172 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: think practicing discretion in what really is going to make 173 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: the most significant difference, whether it's in your business life 174 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: or your personal life, and be able to really focus 175 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: on what's important. And you know, I use this to 176 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: express that, both for my business as well as my life, 177 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: that we've all done a bit of a radical reappraisal 178 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: of what we value, who we value, how we value 179 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: our time. And I definitely did gut checks during this year. 180 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: Do I really need to do that. And you know, 181 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: I tell the story I have, you know, the benefit 182 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: of working closely with Oprah Winfrey, and you know, somebody 183 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: wrote an article about her and I can affirm that 184 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: she practices ultimate discretion, you know. And I think in 185 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: today's environment, it's been more important to know what to 186 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: say no to than even what to say yes to. 187 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: And when we relaunched WW, we created what we call 188 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: our purpose filter, and it's a list of questions that 189 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: you ask yourself before you're going to make a decision 190 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: or hire someone or you know, decide on a partnership, 191 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: whatever that is. We have to do that for our 192 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: own lives. We have to have our own purpose filter, 193 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: depending on where we are in our lives and what 194 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: is important to us and what our prioritizations. And I 195 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: know that's really helped me throughout this entire time. And 196 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: you know, I have said no to things that probably 197 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: under different circumstances, I just want to push myself to 198 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: either take that conversation or you know, do that event, 199 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: or do something else, and I haven't. 200 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 3: Well, I'm grateful that you find this conversation and purposeful. 201 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: I say you to it. 202 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: I was so looking forward to. 203 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: I know, at the very least, it's a really great 204 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: self exercise that we just get to help other people 205 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: with your own personal reflection from the past three sixty 206 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: five before I ask you a little bit more about 207 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: your takeaways from last year. I'd love it if maybe 208 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: you could offer up some of those questions that you 209 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 3: were talking about when it comes to the purpose filter, 210 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: because I think those could be really helpful. 211 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: I think everyone is individual, but you know, for me, 212 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: it really has been you know, I always have this 213 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: mantra that I've always had, you know, passion, purpose and impact, right, 214 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: And a lot of my questions are are through that. 215 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Is this something I'm passionate about? And do I really 216 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: want to partake? Do I really want? Am I curious? 217 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: Because I'm a very curious person, you know, Am I 218 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: going to learn something or am I going to provide something? Right? 219 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Is it purposeful? Is it purposeful for my business? Is 220 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: it purposeful for my family? Is it purposeful for my life? 221 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: And will it have impact? And you know, my questions 222 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: are definitely aligned around that, and I think we all 223 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: have to search within ourselves of you know, again, where 224 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: we are in our lives and you know what is 225 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: it that we want to do? And you know, I'm 226 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: at a point, you know, in my life, I'm definitely 227 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: with an organization that is about purpose, and we'll talk 228 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: a little bit about that when we talk about twenty 229 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: twenty two. But you know, I'm very fortunate to after 230 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: forty five years in business and everything else, to have 231 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: a platform where if I can share things, and sometimes 232 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: you share the good, the bad, of the ugly, right, 233 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, can can I do this? And will it 234 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: help others? You know, certainly I've wanted to be there 235 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: for our organization. I've wanted to be there for our members, 236 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, I've wanted to be there for you know, 237 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: other organizations that I'm part of, and I've wanted to 238 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: be there for my family and friends. And so the 239 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: question is what is the right balance? 240 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: And that balance it can be very very hard. 241 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: I feel like before on the show, I've talked about 242 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 3: like that bucket analogy. It's like you have so many 243 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 3: buckets and it can be really easy, perhaps at times, 244 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: to pour into one bucket over and over and over. 245 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 3: But if you get to a point where the other 246 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: buckets are empty and there's a hole in all of 247 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 3: the buckets, that's what we don't want. We don't want 248 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: to get to a point where your family bucket is 249 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: completely empty, but your work bucket is overflowing. It's trying 250 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: to find at times a little bit more balanced while 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 3: recognizing that, yes, like there are going to be moments 252 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 3: where some are a little bit lower than others. It's 253 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: just making sure that at the end of the day, 254 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: none of them are completely without right. Absolutely Again, reflecting 255 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: on twenty twenty two, we've talked about perseverance, We've talked 256 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: about priorities. What other lessons have you learned from the 257 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: past three sixty five that you're taken with you into 258 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: this new year. 259 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I thought about that. I think always expect 260 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: the unexpected, you know, in the morning, and I consume 261 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: massive amounts of media because you're not sure what's going 262 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: to happen. But I think what we've all had to 263 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: do is learn to embrace uncertainty versus fear it, right, 264 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: and how do we use it to liberate us or 265 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: help us think? So that is a big one that 266 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: I talk about. I think the second thing is and 267 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: this is going to be going forward to you know, 268 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: in a world that has changed so much and technology 269 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: has accelerated. Certainly we need to embrace the virtual, but 270 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: the physical still is important. We crave human interaction. I 271 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: remember the first time I kind of went back into 272 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: the city and I was with my friends or I 273 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: was in the office. You realize how much you've missed. 274 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: And I think that this future of intersection of virtual 275 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: and physical. Now do I want to go and sit 276 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: in an office every day? No? 277 00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 3: Right? 278 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: But it goes back to purpose, Right, So what does 279 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: that mean? And how can technology create value for people? 280 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: And how do you have the balance of both and 281 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: for an organization that has community at its core, you know, 282 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: that's really important. And I think how we can use 283 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: technology as an asset to create the balance of physical 284 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: and virtual. I think that's what a lot of organizations 285 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of humans are really looking to do. 286 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, as I talked about, you know, 287 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: perseverance and prioritization. You know, control what we can control, 288 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: control what we can control, because there are certain things 289 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: that we can't. So when you do that, you actually 290 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: find that you innovate out of necessity. I mean, if 291 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: I look at the last couple of years, where we 292 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: live primarily in a virtual environment, we launched the biggest, 293 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: most radical innovation in a company's history, and we had 294 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: to do it by being purposeful, by letting people innovate 295 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: and do their roles, by giving them the freedom right 296 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: for decision making and moving forward. And I think long 297 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: term that's going to be helpful for the organization. 298 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 2: When it comes to being purposeful. 299 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: I know everyone has to act in whatever way makes 300 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 3: them feel comfortable considering everything is going on in the world. 301 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: But I'm at this point where I'm very realistic about 302 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 3: the pillars that you're talking about here, about connection, about 303 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: the importance of that connection, and understanding that while I 304 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 3: might not go socialize in the middle of a crowded baller, 305 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 3: I can't stay cooped up in this apartment like I 306 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 3: did in twenty twenty anymore. It's not an option for me. 307 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: It's not an option for my mental health. So really 308 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 3: kind of putting it out there for myself, asking myself 309 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 3: what situations do I want to get myself into that 310 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: all are very purposeful for me, that I really do 311 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 3: feel that there is a benefit perhaps even with a 312 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 3: little bit of risk, that will still fill me up. 313 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 3: And again, everyone's going to be different in how they 314 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: make those decisions, and everyone's going to be different and 315 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: how they go and execute going into twenty twenty two. 316 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 3: But I have just personally come to my conclusion here 317 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 3: personally professionally that like, there are certain things that I'm 318 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 3: going to have to do and I'm accepting that risk 319 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 3: that comes with it knowing that I'm going to be 320 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 3: better for it in the long haul. That doesn't mean 321 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 3: that I won't have anxiety about it. 322 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: What's wonderful about that? So if you think of the gamut, right, 323 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: which is one you're cooped up and alone and everything 324 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: is a video right and over here these giant, big 325 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: events that we all used to go to and mill around, 326 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: right And to me, what we're all craving right now 327 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: is the personal interaction smaller groups where we can have 328 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: real conversation and real cannet. And I think that's what 329 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: people are craving and the big part of it. And 330 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 1: you also said this, and it goes back to that 331 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: purpose filter who and what do we value and where 332 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: are we going to decide if there's any risk that 333 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: we're willing to take it because it's so meaningful to us. 334 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: One hundred percent going forward for you both personally and professionally. 335 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 3: Where do you see yourself kind of coming together in 336 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: these spaces. What does purposeful connection look like for you 337 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. 338 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: No, well, I think it goes, you know, back to 339 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: what I said. I mean, I've planned out, you know, 340 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: over the next couple of months very specifically where and 341 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: what I want to do. And if I look at 342 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: a theme, it's definitely purposeful. It's definitely people that you know, 343 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: either I'm going to stretch my mind or I want 344 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: to give my heart and I want to have conversations 345 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: that are going to either fulfill me or I'm going 346 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: to learn something or it satisfies curiosity. You know when 347 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: I think of you know, I'm kind of geeky, you know, 348 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: when things come up. So you know, I'm also on 349 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: the board of Fanatics, which I love, and you look 350 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: at what's happening in the NFT space and what they're doing, 351 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: So I become a geek on NFTs, or I'll become 352 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: a geek on what you're going to do in crypto 353 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: Like learning, I think you know we all miss some 354 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: of that as well. So how can we explore new territories? 355 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: And I've always had even during COVID, even in a 356 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: virtual world, I kept to my I need to meet 357 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: someone new, learn something new, have a new conversation, you know, 358 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: if not every day every week, I think we're all 359 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: craving that. And so that is my plan for twenty 360 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: twenty two. 361 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 2: A few things to double click on here. 362 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: I love the idea of asking yourself like, is this 363 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 3: going to exercise my mind or empower me to like 364 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 3: lend some of my heart? 365 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: I love that purpose filter. I think that's great too. 366 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: I would love like an episode of Hurdle where Mindy 367 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 3: Grossman like explains NFTs for dummies or Crypto for Tommy. 368 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: You might have to wait a little while for that. 369 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: There's probably some people who could do it better than me. 370 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: But I've always said, you know, in all of these things, 371 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: just like being a CEO, you have to know enough 372 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: about everything to ask the right questions, even though you 373 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: may yourself only be an expert in some areas. But 374 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, I think knowledge is power and you can 375 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: have the right conversations, and I think that's really important. 376 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: You know. I would say my one challenge this year, 377 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: and it's kind of another you know word, starting with 378 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: the PE is patients you know, it doesn't matter if 379 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: I do Myers Briggs or Diret whatever. It's you know, 380 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: one of my things because I want things to happen. 381 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: And I've really had to work on being able to 382 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: sit back and say, no, we need to do this 383 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: in the right time frame. We need to be able 384 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: to absorb it, we need to be able to have 385 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: the capacity. And you know that perseverance is kind of 386 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: what gets you through that, and I've had to really 387 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: work on that certainly during this time. 388 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, patience, perseverance, priorities. Twenty twenty one, it was the 389 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 3: year of peace. 390 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: That it just worked that way. I didn't even try 391 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: that well. 392 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I would be a messive. I didn't tell 393 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: you that. 394 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 3: I am like just so inspired by your outlook and 395 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 3: your positivity. I think it's really important as we go 396 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 3: forward that we continue to channel a lot of those 397 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 3: peas and that positivity. Oh, I'm just like, let me 398 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 3: throw another one at you, because it is just you know, 399 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: like you said earlier, there are going to be so 400 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: many things that are out of our control even as 401 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 3: this pandemic persists. It's like we are going to need 402 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: these valuable lessons that we learned over the last two 403 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 3: years going forward and to be able to apply them 404 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: for many, many more. 405 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 2: Months and years to come. 406 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 3: When you think about the new year, what else excites 407 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 3: you about twenty twenty two? 408 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: As much as we've been through so much turmoil. You know, 409 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm what I call a resilient optimist, and I do 410 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: feel that we will have a path forward, and I'm 411 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: just hoping that we all take these learnings and use them. 412 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: There's no going back, and there's no going backwards. And 413 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, the purpose has always been a core element 414 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: for me. And yeah, I actually wrote this down. So 415 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: my friend Aria Borkoff was the CEO of Lion Tree Capital, right, 416 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: it's an annual letter every year, and this quote from him, 417 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: which I really appreciated, was in a world cut off 418 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: from habit, in the midst of a digital whirlwind, purpose 419 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: is the only runner is strong enough to guide us. 420 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, it's a filter that will 421 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: provide clarity. And I hope that we all use that 422 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: going forward, because you know, my expression is, you know, 423 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: never waste a good crisis. And I think if we've 424 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: learned anything, whether it's us as humans or business people 425 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: or family, whatever, it is let's do enough of the 426 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: soul searching to say what have I learned and what 427 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to do moving forward. And that's why these 428 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: conversations you're having, which you know are are fantastic. The 429 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: more we can share and listen at the same time, 430 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: the better off we're all going to be. 431 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I know I was saying to a 432 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 3: friend who I know bless her, but she's not like 433 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 3: an avid podcast listener. 434 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: I said, just do yourself a favor. 435 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 3: If you have twenty minutes this week, turn on at 436 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 3: least one of the five episodes that are coming out, 437 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 3: because sometimes the barriers to entry. As a creator, I 438 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 3: think about that, right, It's like I love being able 439 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 3: to have long form conversations, but someone might be intimidated 440 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 3: by opening up a sixty minute podcast episode. So starting 441 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 3: off with something for your day that can help you 442 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 3: start this year on the right foot that's fifteen or 443 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: twenty minutes instead of something that's sixty minutes, Well maybe 444 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 3: that's the entry point, which I'm sure, especially having been 445 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 3: on the WW program in the past myself, is something 446 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 3: that you all think a lot about when it comes 447 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 3: to accessibility for the members that you work with it's like, Okay, 448 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 3: how can we make this program, this modality, this strategy 449 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: something that doesn't feel like everest to get into in 450 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: fact meets you exactly where you're at. 451 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: In our offices, we have in our studious that we 452 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: have a giant quote on the wall and it's progress, 453 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: not perfection. And it's been core to everything, and you know, 454 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: especially with our new program, you know, and I tell everyone, yeah, 455 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: maybe the CEO of the company, but I'm a super 456 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: user member advocate, you know, I'm top tracker, you know, 457 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: you name it. And we all have to give ourselves 458 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: permission right at this point, and I think that's going 459 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: to be really important. You know, what are the things 460 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: that we know we can do every day every week 461 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: that are going to fulfill us and do something for us. 462 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: And you know, the other thing is, and the big 463 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: takeaway from these last couple of years is the importance 464 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: of our health, our physical health, our mental health.
