I mean, I 343 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 3: know you, like I know as I know as a 344 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 3: makeup artist growing up, like before Beauty Blender, like you 345 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: were very successful celebrity makeup artists and obviously, like the 346 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: landscape of makeup has changed so much over the last 347 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I think with the introduction of honestly Instagram 348 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 3: and YouTube and what they pay makeup artists too, I mean, 349 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: you could you could sustain an entire career in makeup, 350 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 3: and I think I think people do. 351 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 4: But it was just a different industry back then. But 352 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 4: like I know that it. 353 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: You know, it wasn't easy being a single parent and 354 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: raising me, and I can only imagine I've never really 355 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: acted like how you did it, like smoke a mirrors. 356 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 5: How did you. 357 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 4: Pawn things like what? 358 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 5: Sometimes? Yeah, sometimes bills didn't get paid, cars disappeared. 359 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: Oh that car we got rid of it yesterday. 360 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: No, honestly, it is it is a it's a circus act. 361 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 5: I always tell people that it's you know, juggling and 362 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 5: juggling and smoking, mirrors and distraction and you know, sweet 363 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 5: talking and being charming and trying to be smart. But 364 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 5: mainly this was this is just an overall statement that 365 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 5: I learned from Ruth read is don't spend what you 366 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 5: don't have. Okay, sounds really simple, right. That is not 367 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 5: a simple thing to do. The way you accomplish that 368 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 5: is by not using credit, So hear me out. You 369 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 5: want to establish credit, but you don't necessarily always want 370 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 5: to use credit. You want to pay cash for as 371 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 5: many things as you can while you can, and you 372 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 5: use the credit for emergencies, which if you're a single 373 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 5: parent is a pretty regular thing. So you are establishing credit, 374 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 5: but you pay cash for everything because if you don't 375 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 5: have the cash, that means you can't afford it. I mean, 376 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: it's very simple, girls, but a lot of times we 377 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 5: live in this world where we don't believe that's the truth. 378 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 5: If you don't have the cash, you cannot afford it. 379 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 5: Credit is not real money. It's like hopeful money that 380 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 5: you're going to have to pay back. 381 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 2: Wait, how did like what even motivated you to have 382 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: a ruth? Because we're like, our kids are damn there, 383 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: ten and we're having a money march. 384 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 4: Relaxed, relaxed. They are not ten, They're not They're more 385 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 4: like three, oh. 386 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 5: Girls, it's around the corner. Twenty is two seconds away. 387 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 4: Relax, mom, you to relax. 388 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 5: I realized I needed ruth after Eric has Dad and 389 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 5: I broke up, and I realized that my dreams of 390 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 5: being an NFL wife was dashed, and I suddenly had 391 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 5: to figure out, like, how am I going to do this? 392 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 5: I was very prideful. I was like, I don't want 393 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 5: to ask him for a dime, so I'm going to 394 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 5: have to figure out how to manage my money. And 395 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 5: I have no idea how to manage my money. I 396 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 5: didn't even know how to balance it's a checkbook because 397 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 5: I never had checks. So I was very young. I mean, 398 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: when your dad and I got together, we were really young. 399 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 6: Old were you. 400 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: God? 401 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 5: I was like twenty two? 402 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: Were you already in makeup art twenty. 403 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 5: Two, No like twenty two to twenty three, so good 404 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 5: entree there, Jamila. When I decided that I needed to 405 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 5: find something to do, like what was I going to do? 406 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 5: I had gone to FIDM, and I realized that I 407 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 5: wasn't going to be a fashion designer because I just 408 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 5: didn't I liked the idea of like sketching and fashion, 409 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 5: but I really didn't want to pattern, make and grade 410 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 5: and sew and all that stuff. So I was like, no, 411 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 5: this isn't for me. But what I love is fashion 412 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 5: and beauty and fashion are like brother and sister. So 413 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 5: I you know, I was really good at drawing. I 414 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 5: was really good at well I thought I was. I 415 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 5: thought I was fashionable at the time you were fashionable. 416 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 4: I have some of your vintage items. 417 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I went. I just I went to a local 418 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 5: department department store and got a job as a makeup 419 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 5: artist because I had a friend who was a makeup artist, 420 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 5: and I was like, I can do what she does. 421 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 5: So I kind of like faked it till I maked it. 422 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 5: I told them I knew how to do makeup, and 423 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 5: they saw my makeup and I did someone else's makeup. 424 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 5: And they were like, Okay, You've got the job. And 425 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 5: then I realized really quickly that there was a ceiling 426 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 5: to how much money I could actually make in a 427 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 5: department store, and by the looks of things, this one 428 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 5: over here was going to cost me a lot of 429 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 5: money and it was going to be more than I 430 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 5: was making on that floor. So I need to figure 431 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 5: out how to elevate this makeup career into making more money. 432 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 5: And the girl that introduced me to being a makeup 433 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 5: artist actually started working on productions and I realized she 434 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 5: was making more money, she was having a lot of fun, 435 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 5: and I thought I could definitely do that. So as 436 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 5: soon as I started actually working and I started making money, 437 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 5: I started realizing how it was just like slipping through 438 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 5: my fingers, Like I would literally make money and it 439 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 5: would be gone. And you know, the days of living 440 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 5: with the champagne and mustard and your refrigerator are over. Girls. Right, 441 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 5: when you have kids, you need to have too slacks, right, 442 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 5: You need snacks, so many, so many snacks every day. 443 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 5: They eat three times. 444 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 4: A day, like seven. 445 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 5: Yeah. So I was like, okay, how am I going 446 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 5: to do this? At the time, I was friends with 447 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 5: this other football player who was like a dad to me. 448 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 5: His name was Bubba Smith. He used to be in 449 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 5: the Police Academy movies and he's rest in peace. He's 450 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 5: gone now, my Bubba. But he worked with an accounting firm, 451 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 5: and this accounting firm always managed his money. And I 452 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 5: asked him about it and he said, Rann, you just 453 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 5: need someone to help you manage your money. So I 454 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 5: was like, can you help me because I don't know 455 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 5: who to ask, and so he connected me with Ruth. 456 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 5: Ruth worked for this firm and then she left the 457 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 5: firm and started her own business and I was her 458 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 5: very first customer. And so Ruth, that is why. Ruth, 459 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 5: who is the one that tells you very simple, if 460 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 5: you don't have a cash, you can't afford it, is 461 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 5: the person that has been with me for over thirty 462 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 5: years and still is with me.

There was also 541 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 3: a time and I'll never forget. And we're actually talking 542 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: about this on our last episode, and I don't even 543 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: think I've ever shared this with you.

That 551 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 5: was the fiscally responsible thing to do. You could get 552 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: away with going to elementary school at that time and 553 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 5: transition into private in junior high school or high school 554 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 5: and not have to pay all this private school dollars 555 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 5: in the beginning. 556 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 4: So why am I doing that right now? 557 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: I feel that's not true.

You just go to kindergarten. 567 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 5: You take your kids in kindergarten and that's where they learn. Now, 568 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 5: if you go to kindergarten and you don't know anything, 569 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 5: they put you in like you know, the need help 570 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 5: class books.

And like with nine 582 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 3: to eleven, when nine to eleven happened, like everything kind 583 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 3: of started to change in the industry.

And it really became an opportunity 610 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 5: for you know, management and pr and agents and different 611 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 5: different management people to regain kind of some control of 612 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,239 Speaker 5: their clients.

We were making 618 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 5: so much money and we were able to ask for 619 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 5: so much, and it really was kind of a little 620 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 5: bit out of control. And I think at around nine 621 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 5: to eleven, it was kind of like a leveling of 622 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 5: everything and it kind of changed the way everybody worked 623 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 5: for sure. 624 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: But I remember, I think like your career kind of 625 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 3: started to slow down a little bit.

No, I 683 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 5: don't understand why, and you would do it in front 684 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 5: of your friends and I'd just be sitting there like 685 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 5: wanting to beat your ass, and your friends were there like. 686 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: Oh, such a valley kid's story. 687 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 2: I had questions, I needs gallery. 688 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: Everything was twenty dollars. 689 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 5: You did have questions, you did. 690 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 3: But like when you when in those moments, like because 691 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 3: around that time too, you were starting beauty blender, so 692 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: there was a lot of pressure because you're starting a 693 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 3: new business, you owned this home. 694 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 4: The industry was changing. 695 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 2: Wait, I have a question before you go there? What 696 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 2: motivated you to start beauty blender? Was it that money? 697 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: That the industry was slowing down and you realize you 698 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 2: were like hitting a cap, Like because I feel like 699 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: a lot of moms, single moms and parents, like you're 700 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: trying to take care of a kid, You're trying to 701 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: pay bills, and then the entrepreneurial side always is like 702 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: last to get tended to, and sometimes it only it 703 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 2: takes you for being like a really tight situation to 704 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: actually invest in yourself and do something like that. Like 705 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: what was your driving force? Because I think a lot 706 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 2: of moms, like a lot of people have a lot 707 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: of great ideas, but do you take is what are 708 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: the next steps after that? What was your driving force 709 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: to actually say, fuck this shit, I'm not going to 710 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: be like I'm going to start my own business, and 711 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: this is what I'm going to do. 712 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 5: Your business partner was driving. 713 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: Right, all right, Oh you have to be fed. 714 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 5: Erica was my reason for everything, to be honest with you, 715 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 5: and I think it's a combination of things, Jamilla. It's 716 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 5: not ever just one thing that makes you say, oh, 717 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 5: I'm going to be an entrepreneur. For me, it really 718 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 5: was Erica and me wanting to give her, uh a 719 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 5: good life, a better life. Not that my life was bad, 720 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 5: but you got a little preview of my life before. 721 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 5: I had a very kind of wild and very interesting 722 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 5: young adulthood, and I realized that there were things. There 723 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 5: was a lifestyle that I was introduced to that I 724 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 5: really enjoyed, and I wanted to live that lifestyle, but 725 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 5: I didn't necessarily want to depend on a man to 726 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 5: give it to me, because I had also experienced the 727 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 5: controls that go on when you're with a powerful man 728 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 5: or a man that has more than you, and sometimes 729 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 5: you feel beholden to that, and I felt that and 730 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 5: I never wanted to feel that again, and I definitely 731 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 5: didn't want her to feel that. So the only way 732 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 5: to not feel that is to have financial freedom. And 733 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 5: so for me, It was a combination of knowing that 734 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 5: I wanted that, having Ruth read Ruthie in my life 735 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 5: telling me if you don't have the money, you can't 736 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 5: afford it. I mean, when you hear that enough and 737 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 5: you want things and someone is telling you, well, I 738 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 5: don't think it's smart for you to take a loan 739 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 5: out because if you can't afford it, you shouldn't buy it. 740 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 5: You know, it makes so much sense, right, I mean, 741 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 5: if you can't afford something, don't get it. But we 742 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 5: don't live in that kind of and then me understanding 743 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 5: that I had kind of reached a ceiling with the 744 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 5: amount of money that I could make as a makeup artist. 745 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 5: I was hustling. Erica can tell you I was on 746 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 5: a plane every week. I was doing three TV shows 747 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 5: at one time, having cruise here, cruise there, leaving to 748 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 5: go do a celebrity for Red Carpet, coming back, sneaking 749 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 5: back on set, you know, trying to finish the day out, 750 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 5: trying to just cash as many checks as I could. 751 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 5: And I still was not able to have the financial 752 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 5: freedom that I wanted, Like we didn't get to go 753 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 5: take vacations for a week or two somewhere or you 754 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 5: know it just and and by the way, living as 755 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 5: an independent contractor is very difficult because you're always afraid 756 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 5: to say no to a job because you don't want 757 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 5: to miss out on creating a relationship with a producer, 758 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 5: a director, or you know, the celebrity, whatever it is 759 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 5: that will prevent you from making more money in the future. 760 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,959 Speaker 5: Because I always tell my friends that live and work 761 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 5: in corporate America that get all freaked out when you 762 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 5: know they get laid off and I'm They're like, oh 763 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 5: my god, that's the end of the world. I lost 764 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 5: my job. What am I going to do? I'm like, dude, 765 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 5: I'm unemployed every time I finish a job, literally unemployed. 766 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 5: Every time. You have to have faith and you just 767 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 5: have to hustle. You just get up and you do 768 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 5: it again. But those to your answer your question, that 769 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 5: is really the motivation was if I can't make more 770 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 5: than I'm making right now doing what I'm doing, then 771 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 5: I need to do something else. I need to add 772 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 5: to what I'm doing. And originally beauty Blender was not, 773 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 5: you know, in my mind, or at least as much 774 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 5: as I was dreaming about it. My dream wasn't as 775 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 5: big as Oh, it's going to be a global brand, 776 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 5: it's going to be a category creator.

You're gonna be CW Entrepreneur 779 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 5: over the year. I like, none of that shit was 780 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 5: a part of my reality. None of it. It was like, Oh, 781 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 5: let me make a couple sponges for some other makeup 782 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 5: artists because they're going to have the same challenges I have. 783 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 5: And so I can supplement and make sure I can 784 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 5: keep my kid in school. Maybe I can put together 785 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 5: a college account for her so she can go to school. 786 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 5: You know I did. My parents didn't have money. You know, 787 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 5: I really was on my own, and really I knew 788 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 5: in very very short time I was going to be 789 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 5: taking care of my parents too, because they never never 790 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 5: planned for their retirement. My dad's excuse was like, I 791 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 5: don't think i'd live this long. Like really that was 792 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 5: your now was your plan?
