1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: If you're about to make a change in your life

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: and you feel uncomfortable, that's the best feeling you can

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: have because for the first time in your life, you'll

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: make a new decision that's going to be best.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: For you and not what somebody told you to do.

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: And that's when all bets are off. Welcome to Money

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 2: Making Conversation Masterclass. I'm your host, Rashaan McDonald. Our theme

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: is there's no perfect time to start following your dreams.

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: I recognize that we all have different definitions of success.

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: For you and maybe the size of.

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Your HM, It's time to stop reading other people's success

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: stories to start living.

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: Your own keep winning.

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: You know when I do this. When I do this

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: show and the purpose of it is that to ride

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: you with information and interviews that anybody can use because

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: I always tell people it's time to stop reading other

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: people's success stories and start living your own. And I

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: say that all the time. I figure, if you keep

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: drilling it down on somebody, there eventual here and it

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: becomes part of something that they may become their mantra.

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: My guess. Next guest is a clean design lifestyle expert

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,920

Speaker 3: she has been absolutely telling me to do the right thing.

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: And I may have had a much more of breathing

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: in a better breathing environment in my home if I

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 3: have listened to her talk about your company and your

47
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: brand Clean Design.

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, thank you for having me on

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 4: the show, and I wanted to let you know that

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: one in five people suffer from asthma or allergy, got

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: sixty million Americans. And one of the first places we

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: think of is the weaving and sneezing outside, But we

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: forget about our homes, which absolutely should be a sanctuary

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: for easy breathing. And so your wife is right, you.

55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: Had to go back. You're gonna record this because I

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: want to talk to the public here, the general public,

57
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 3: in the sense that you know, we assume a lot

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: of things we walk through life, you know. You know,

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: we go out there into pollen, you know, we complain

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: about it, and then we just come right back into

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: our house with that pollen, with that with those flakes

62
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: you may not see, and we might just sit on

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: the sofa. We might even dive into our bed and

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: watch TV. All that is what you're talking about. And

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: you're trying to tell us to stop and realize that

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: we are carriers.

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: Correct, Well, I think the first thing to say is

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: when you walk into your home, take your shoes off,

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: take your hat off, take your coata and try to

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: leave all of that outside air, outside pollen and any

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: other issues at your doorstep and then create a safe

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: home environment, not just for you, but for your children.

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: A lot of people are gets that your shoes in

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: some places, you could be walking across the park and

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: you never know what's happened on the grass or on

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: that parkway, and so you don't want E. Coli in

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: your home, for example, you don't want other toxins in

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: your home. But my book Clean Design Home was actually

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: my second book. We've created a lifestyle brand over twenty

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: four years. I am the first black woman American woman

81
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: to have a global lifestyle brand focused on the allergy

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 4: and aware consumer. We are sold at fifty one Macy

83
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: stores from Guam to Puerto Rico. We're at fifty six

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: Belk stores on Wayfair, Shopify, and every branch of the military.

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 4: Actually the TX basis have our brand. That should show

86
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: you that it is a problem that people are trying

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: to find a solution to and our Clean Design Home

88
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: brand hopes to be and remain the number one allergy

89
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 4: and aware brand. You might notice I'm not using the

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: term hypoallergenic, right. I say that because Jane Doe might

91
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: be allergic to something and the next person is not.

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: So I by saying allergy know there we actually are

93
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: trying to make sure people know what's in their product

94
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: so they can make a decision about what works for

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: their skin, or their or their environment at their home.

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: I remember you know, Robin. First of all, thank you

97
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: for coming on my show to talk about clean design,

98
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: talk about lifestyle, talk about the home when and we

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: want to get in detail in your book because I

100
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: travel a lot on the airplanes and a nine flower

101
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: of mask, you know, and I'm very comfortable flying with

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: a mask. But every once in a while I see

103
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: people get on the plane caring is little beat up pillows,

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: you know, these a little ugly pillows make that I

105
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: mean like, you know, this pillow then saw another life.

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: This pillar saw another life. And I go in my mind,

107
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: I go, that pillow, first of all, is coming on

108
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: a plane, and then it's and it's been hugged up

109
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: by this person. And then this plane is this pillow

110
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: is going off on the plane. And you have a

111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: story about pillows in your book that you talk about.

112
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: I allowing you to tell everybody about those pillows that

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: we sometimes have fallen in love with we need to

114
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 3: be doing something else with them, call them putting them

115
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 3: in the trash.

116
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: Well, you are so funny. I actually asked someone recently.

117
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: I spoke to a big group and I said, when

118
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 4: was the last time each of you washed or replaced

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: your pillow? And there was just a wave of groans

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: and grimaces across the room, and I said to everyone,

121
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: I said, the average answer is six years. But they're

122
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: the outliers that have had their pillows since college and

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: they're now in their forties. So that's pretty gross when

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: you think about the dan dress, the paul and the

125
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: drool and any other number of passage hims that could

126
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: be in your pillow. But I make it funny when

127
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: I say to someone, break up with your pillow. Get

128
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: a pillow. And there's a simple test. If you can

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: fold your pillow over and it stays in place, it

130
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: probably weighs more now than when you bought it. Pillows

131
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: should pop back, you know, you fold it a little

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 4: bit and it just pops back into place. That's a

133
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: pretty healthy pillow. One of the things most people don't

134
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: know is I have a rule of threes, because you

135
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: can actually wash a down alternative pillow. That means that

136
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: if you think about your pillow as an ecosystem in

137
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: and of itself, you can wash the pillow cover every

138
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: three weeks, wash the pillow protector that means a zippered

139
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: pillow protector every three months, and then every three years.

140
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: If you haven't done all those things, you need to

141
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: replace your pillows. Think like the batteries, you know, I'll

142
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: receive this. And then on top of that, it's also

143
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: a beauty story. Have you ever wondered when you're traveling,

144
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: you go to a hotel and you come back with

145
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: me so refreshed, and everybody's like, oh my god, you

146
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: look so good. What happened you know? And you're like, oh,

147
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 4: it's so great. Three days later, you're stuffed up, you

148
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: have circles under your eyes again, and what you may

149
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: be doing is sleeping on a dirty pillow. And that

150
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: means when you think about a hotel, they're refreshing their

151
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: pillows all the time. You come home to that pillow,

152
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 4: you should be breaking up less right, and you should

153
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: absolutely go to Clean Design Home to check us out.

154
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: Well, that's why you're going to shown, because I'm gonna

155
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: share a couple of stories about I think some people

156
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: need to hear the truth. You know, I'm not the

157
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: person who I remember in about two thousand and one,

158
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: I was always coughing.

159
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 4: I was.

160
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it was to a point I was coughing

161
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: so much that I'm submit was I didn't really I'm

162
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: not saying suicidal, but it was just constant cough. It

163
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: was just a constant cough and it was just frustrating

164
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: me because I didn't know how to get rid of

165
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: it. It wasn't a cold cough. It was a constant cough.

166
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: And that was and eventually learned that was tied to

167
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: my pillow in my Los Angeles apartment because what happened

168
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: was I traveled so much a robin, and because I traveled,

169
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: I never could figure out where it was, you know,

170
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: And it turned out I was allergic to that pillow

171
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: that I don't know what the pillow was. Once I

172
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: got rid of that pillow, my cough went away. And

173
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: that's what we're talking about clean design, making sure the

174
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: environment you stay in. And then another story was when

175
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: I found out I was eventually found out I was

176
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: allergic to feathers, to feathers and I was in Austin.

177
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: My daughter was tourings you playing tennis with my wife

178
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: and I just broke out and I was just laying

179
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: on a sofa and that's when I discovered I was

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: allergic to feathers. And again, you have to I have

181
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: to realize these patterns and these patterns can really lead

182
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: to a lifestyle that could be you know, it can

183
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: kill you, and not only not only kill you can

184
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: frustrate you. And so when you wrote your book Clean Design,

185
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: what was the basic purpose of it, Robin.

186
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 4: I think that the premise goes back to I grew

187
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 4: up with allergies in asthma. I jokingly say I was

188
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: the labrat for my lifestyle. And a lot of people

189
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 4: today recognize that allergens can create or allergic reactions can

190
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: create a chronic inflammation in your body. That means when

191
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: you really get sick, you're immune systance week. So I

192
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: recommend always using a down alternative pillow because it can

193
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: be washed. Number one. I also recommend that you try

194
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: to protect your mattress with a mattress protector and also

195
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: protector pillow with a pillow protector. So let me take

196
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 4: it to another place. I grew up in Austin de exits.

197
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm surprised you mentioned in Sauces and I call it

198
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: the weaving and stays in capital of the world right

199
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: because it's blooming all year round, beautiful greenery, and so

200
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 4: you weave and sees outside and if you don't have

201
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 4: certain protocols inside, then you're also weaving in smazing inside.

202
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: I also believe that a lot of people don't realize

203
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: and when they read the book, they'll learn that the

204
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: same pollen profile that you might be allergic to grass

205
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: or trees, you can come inside and eat a fruit

206
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: from that same profile or vegetable from that same profile,

207
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: and it will cause you to just double up your

208
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: load of allegence. And so let's say you're allergic to

209
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: grass or to trees, and then you come in and

210
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 4: eat a cucuver, it might be the exact same pollen profile.

211
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: And so I'm trying to educate people about simple steps

212
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 4: they can use to protect themselves, especially during allergy and

213
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: asthma sea and then May, as you know, it's Allergy

214
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: and Asthma Awareness Month, So you're way ahead of the

215
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: curve in talking about this subject.

216
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Well have to because of the fact that it personally

217
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: impacts me, impacts my family, my daughter and my wife.

218
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: And if you don't realize what's going on, it can

219
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: run a relationship, can ruin your experience socially, can make

220
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: your sleeping habits can be impacted by It can make

221
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: you a grumpy person. It can make you a person

222
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: that people don't want to be around because you don't

223
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: understand what's bothering you. And that's what the Clean Design

224
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: is all about. And let me just before we go.

225
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: We're going to go to break to in a minute,

226
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: and I want to just set up what we're going

227
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: to talk about it. On the backside of this break

228
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: Clean Design is a room by Room Guy by Robin Wilson,

229
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: who I'm speaking to. She is an expert in creating

230
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: a wellness lifestyle and a lifelong allergy and asthma She's

231
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: life zone allergy and asthma sufferer just like me. I'm

232
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: an allergy sufferer, and this book will enable you to

233
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: lemonade and manage allergy triggers which I had to find

234
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: and had to discover, and create a comfortable and non

235
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: toxic home environment before we go to break When people

236
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: come to you, I'm pretty sure people get pretty emotional because,

237
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: like I said, when I was coughing in Los Angeles,

238
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: you know, I won't say the word suicide, but I

239
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 3: really didn't feel like living because it was just really

240
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 3: really bad and I was just constantly coughing and coughing.

241
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: It was always in the morning because I was doing

242
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: the morning show with Steve Harry Morning Show from six

243
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: am to ten am, and that whole run was it

244
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: was about six months. I was just constantly coughing. And

245
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 3: so when people come to you and say thank you,

246
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you get it can't get pretty emotional, correct.

247
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: Robin, certainly, and especially when it's a parent or a

248
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 4: child who maybe they've been rushing their child to the

Speaker 4: emergency rooms in the middle of the night, and I

250
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 4: simply will say change the pillar, test the pillow, change

251

00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: When you This book is a beautiful book. By the way,

270
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: it was a lot of uh can one say it's

271
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: a coffee table book because it has that feeling with

272
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: all these beautiful photos and imagery. But it has so

273
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: much information that you you can't leave it on the

274
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: coffee table because you need to be reading this in

275
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: your bed, or reading that whed you're drinking coffee, reading

276
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: it at your office breaks because there's so much vital

277
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: information that can change a person's lifestyle.

278
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I those are all my designs from my

279
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: design work over the last you know period of time. UH,

280
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: with my client's permission, we published photos of their spaces.

281
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 4: But this book is a primer. It's not meant to

282
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 4: be read cover to cover. There's this for each room.

283
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: There's a there's the nursery, there's the bath room. You

284
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: can read it, learn what you need to learn, put

285
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: it away, come back to it as you need to.

286
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: And so if you read it cover to cover it

287
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: will feel repetitive. But a lot of people gain so

288
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: much information. You learn simple things that I pay actually

289
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: homage to my grandmother who was a housekeeper in the

290
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: era of the help, and she had a book, and

291
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 4: back then you didn't have the commercial cleaners that you

292
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: find in the grocery store. She used linen, juice and

293
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: toothpaste and baking soda and coca cola. And so people

294
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 4: are like coca cola and say, yeah, did you know

295
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: you can put coca cola in your toilet overnight and

296
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: if you have a ring, it will be gone in

297
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: the morning with a little elbow grease. If you have

298
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 4: a child who puts crayon on the wall, you can

299
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: use toothpaste to get that crayon off instead of putting

300
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: a toxic cleanser at there her nose level. And you

301
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 4: can also clean the tile in your bathroom and make

302
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: it white with toothpaste. Simple tips to prevent your home

303
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 4: from being overloaded with chemical Wow.

304
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: You know, I was just smiling when I was listening

305
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: to this information, because you know, when I get home,

306
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: my wife won't be she won't be just wagging the finger,

307
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: but she will have a lot to say because she's

308
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: She's like a kindred spirit with you. With this information

309
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: you have in this book. Now we talked about the

310
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 3: entryways and the mudrooms. Now I'm gonna tell you what

311
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: I do. I come home, you know, put my keys down,

312
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: I unloaded the doorway. I guess you can call that

313
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: the entryway of the mudroom area, you know. And then

314
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: I then I come and I just flop in the

315
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: middle of living room and I turn on the roomote

316
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 3: and I'm watching TV. Okay, what mistakes? If you know

317
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: what I've just said, I've done.

318
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 4: Did you take your shoes off? No? Did you maybe

319
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 4: wash your hands? And then uh change your clothes so

320
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 4: you have I call it your city street clothes. And

321
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: then you have your lunge wear that you have at home. No,

322
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: so you put whatever Let's say you rode the train

323
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: that day, or you were in the park, you just

324
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: put all that pollen or whatever on your couch.

325
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: So this is what she does. She goes, wash your hands.

326
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: I ain't got time for all that. I ain't got

327
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: time for all all. I wanted to drink a glass

328
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: of water. Wash your hands. I did so. So I'm

329
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: saying that I'm hearing the truth because of the fact

330
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: that these are things that I resist. And I eventually

331
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: do it with a little naggy and I wash my

332
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: hands and while I grab her fruit, and and then

333
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: she said, wash your hands for you before you eat that.

334
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: And of course I put the fruit on the water.

335
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: But then you know, is my hands washed?

336
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 4: And yes, exactly. If you if you were to imagine,

337
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 4: and this sounds really gross, but if you were to

338
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: imagine that every surface you touch, you got some glitter

339
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: on your fingers. Every surface. So that means you touched

340
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: the railing on the train, you touched your door handle,

341
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: you touched your uh, maybe you have to put gas

342
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: in your cars. You touch that pump that a million

343
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 4: people have touched, and so on. And then you come

344
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 4: inside and you touch a plate of food, how much

345
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 4: glitter would be on your fingers?

346
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

347
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: Now if you say those were germs right some your

348
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 4: body right now, maybe can fight it off, maybe it can't.

349
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 4: But now you are putting that inside of you. Just

350
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: have that moment. So now you wash your hands. Takes

351
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: you the happy birthday. Saw wash your hands right, and

352
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: now you're now at least you've mitigated some of the germs.

353
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 4: That's all.

354
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: But it's all about effort. It's all about assistency and

355
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: when you when you was going because in your book,

356
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: you go from room to room, You go from the entrwey,

357
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: you go to the living room. You talk about the kitchen,

358
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: you talk about the bedroom where you spend one thirty

359
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: of your life, baby nursery, bathroom, home offices, larger room, basement, garages,

360
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 3: and addicts. I'll do a living So you break it down.

361
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: You let there are no excuses to people going, Okay, Robie,

362
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: what about the attic? Okay, I got I got something

363
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 3: for you. Hey Robin, what about my bedroom? I got

364
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: something for you? Hey Robin, what about the kitchen? I

365
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 3: got something for you? Because you want to make sure

366
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: that when people when you talk to your house about

367
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: clean design, you want to make sure this is how

368
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: you can design and live a good life, and that's

369
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 3: important to you. Correct, right it is.

370
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 4: I send this to someone recently. If you tomorrow were

371
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 4: diagnosed with diabetes, you're going to probably do whatever the

372
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: doctor tells you to do if you recognize that as

373
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 4: is a chronic condition, just like diabetes. In fact, before COVID,

374
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 4: I think it was the fourth leading cause of death.

375
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: You would do what your doctor says, and what he

376
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: often will say or she will say, is you need

377
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: a clean environment. You need to make sure you watch

378
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: what you eat. You need to have a clean pillow

379
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: and bedding. You need to dust your home, you need

380
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 4: to take your sees off at the front door, and

381
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 4: you need to make sure first and foremost that if

382
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 4: you bring pollen into the house, either you wash your

383
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: hair or you know, what do you call it? You

384
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 4: brush it out, or you wear a sleep cap or

385
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: something something to make sure you're not turning over in

386
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: the middle of the night and having that reaction. But

387
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: what is that reaction? That's what most people are like,

388
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: why is it three in the morning. I don't feel well?

389
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: And then reminder that during the day we have something

390
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 4: called cortisol. It's a stress hormone that all others to

391
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 4: get through the day and all the stressful things we encounter,

392
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 4: and at some point it leaves your body. It goes

393
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 4: to a lower level so you can sleep and go

394
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 4: into rim sleep. Well, that's about the time when that

395
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: stressful mung's gone, which is when your body can react

396
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: for lack of a better word, so reactions can be.

397
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: When people think about this, they're exema, hay fever, and

398
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: asthma are all in the same family. So you might

399
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: wake up with a rash on your arm, on your

400
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 4: base that could be an exema reaction. You might wake

401
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 4: up with the cough or the wheezing that might be

402
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 4: your hay fever reaction. And you might have a full

403
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 4: on asthma attack. All in the same family, different degrees

404
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: and different manifestations. Now, if you just do simple steps

405
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: to manage the triggers, then the likelihood that it will

406
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 4: go to full on asthma attack is less. Just the

407
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 4: same way in diabetes, right if you you know eat well,

408
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 4: don't you know, binge on a chocolate bar at the

409
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: wrong time, the likelihood you're going to go into full

410
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 4: diabetic coma is very low right, and that's what people

411
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 4: don't understand. And really, asthma is like you're choking. You

412
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: can't you can breathe in all you want, but you

413
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 4: can't breathe out. It's like you're suffocating from the inside out.

414
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: It's very scary if you've had an asthma attack.

415
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: Robin.

416
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,880

417
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: your book, Clean Clean Design Wellness for your lifestyle, but

418
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,720

Speaker 4: You know, Clean Design Home is a lifestyle brand where sold.

422
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: Like I said at Macy felt Wayfair fed back beyond

423
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 4: every branch to the military. As a black woman founder,

Speaker 4: year business, we generated over eighty two million dollars wholesale

Speaker 4: branded revenue. When we in the last four years rebranded
