Speaker 2: hear you. I see you pretty in pink.

7
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: You think, But.

8
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: That's the days when it was just audio, to be honest.

9
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's just video.

10
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: There's always something, there's always something. Well, I just dragged

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: myself home from the airport. I am fresh off Delta

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: flight two seven thirty nine.

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: From I was.

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: I saw my dad. Oh lord, So the good stuff,

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: the positive stuff is that I saw my dad. He's healthy,

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: he's doing well. He's back to his he's been back

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: to his self for a few months now. But like

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: he's back to driving me crazy. And I had to

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: like really remind myself, like remember when you were afraid

20
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: you're going to lose him? And he just prayed he's

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: still here to annoy me. But no, we had a

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: we actually had I we we would like, go on,

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: we're too similar to my dad and I. We both

24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: want to be in the driver's seat. We both want

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: to do it our way. And in the past I

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: would let that drive me nuts, but now I just

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 2: I just roll with it, like I'm in his car.

28
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 2: I'm going to say goodbye to the next eight hours

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: of my day that I had planned, because at a minimum,

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: when you get in the car with Alton Windruff, you

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: were going to lose six to eight hours of your

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: life to whatever nonsense, whenever, little whims a game. Do

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: you know, it's the journey, not the destiny. Now, we

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: went to the fourth quarter of the Hawks game, we

35
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: went fishing for a collective like time of rod in

36
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: the water, not trying to find all the things that

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: we needed to go fishing, like seventeen minutes, which is

38
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: about all I needed. But it was I mean, honestly,

39
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: it really is a journey, not the destination. So for me,

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: it's just about being in the car, just talking about whatever.

41
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: You know.

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: My dad likes to call random cousins and uncles and

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: then he's like here, made to move, say hello, and

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: then I gotta like talk to them and hear about

45
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 2: the last time they saw me. And it's cute. It's

46
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: a nice rhythm to it. It was a really pleasant visit.

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: And I also did Finn con.

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,880

Speaker 2: in Atlanta, so I had to go.

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: I had missed.

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had missed last year's New Orleans because my

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: dad was sick and all this stuff was happening. It's

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: always a good time. I mean for me, it's just

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: like it's a it's like a high school reunion, college

56
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: reunionsy vibe and it genuinely is so nice just to

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: get to squeeze your people that you only see on

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,200

84
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: I think so that's the homie Akak financial stylist.

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Yes, there was just so many.

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: I just saw everybody's posts and I don't know. Plus

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: and two, I love, like, you know, the behind the scenes,

89
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: the you know, the brown version of of what happens

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: at Finnkin.

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: That's where I was really following.

92
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: So I loved all that, to see all the meetups,

93
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: all the hangouts, all the connections. It's honestly, I mean,

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: aside from like you know, we're not going to dredge

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: of old, but aside from what happened before, quite honestly,

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: ben Kind was always a good time. There was never

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: the issue, you know, like, I love meeting people. I

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: always thought that they had really great breakout sessions like

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: moving keynotes, you know.

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: I just you know, yeah, that was never the issue.

101
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: So I think it genuinely is one of the and

102
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 2: it's become increasingly well, let me finish a sentence for once.

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: I think it is one of the best conferences for

104
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: the audience that it wants to serve like you will

105
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: go and you will leave with gems and lots of gems,

106
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: and the vibe is very good and collegial, ten out

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: of ten. And I also feel like increasingly it's I

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: feel like you don't need to necessarily be in the

109
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: financial like space with your content creation to benefit from

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 2: fin Con because it's not like there's a ton of

111
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: sessions on the latest five two nine plan or complex

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: tax code changes and things like that. It's a lot

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 2: of literally running a business, personal brand, being a business owner,

114
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: scaling brand partnerships. They really care about helping you leave with,

115
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: you know, elements that are going to like take your

116
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: business to the next level and meetups and mentorships and

117
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: so much to offer. And yeah, but I there's nothing's

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: going to beat the og Girl Crew Black Girl Crew

119

00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 1: Yes, in New Orleans.

121
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: I was like, I need my Sandy, I need my Tiffy,

00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: I need my Tanya, I need my my Marsha. Yeah,

00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: back together, get the game back together. At fin Con,

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: even if it's just for you know, literally you just

126
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: walk into the lobby and you have a party.

127
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like that's the thing, Linnette. You know,

128
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: it just yeah, it just was like it just looked

129
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: like such a great time. And I was like, Mandy.

130
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: Omo, well, you know, I am in my neuro divergent

131
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: era and not I don't know what to I'm not

132
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: really embracing any particular labels or whatnot. But I'm in

133
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: my era of like accepting the fact that I process

134
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: things really differently, and I gave myself so much grace.

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: You know, go for a couple hours, leave, get your

136
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: you know, recharge time. But even when you're there, it's

137
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: hard because everyone wants you to go here and there,

138
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: and there's different events and they're like open bar and

139
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: free food and like all this stuff is happening. But

140
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I think I'm just gonna go

141
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: hang out with my dad at the Hawks game. People, ooh,

150

Speaker 2: Just comfortable and spacious.

00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: I knew that black Man would do whatever.

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: When Darrell's fortieth birthday, there was an ambulance outside.

153

Speaker 4: What's that?

159
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: I was like, sir, I could just go out there

160
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: and go stay.

161
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: That's what, you know what. It reminds me of his

162
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: Regina King from How Stella Got Her grew back when

163
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: like Regina King her sister in that movie Angela bas

164
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: his sister. She's an emt or something, and I think

165
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: she does pull up in her her ambulance at a

166
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: cookout or something like that. I love us, I do.

167
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: I got to go see the station you dropped me off. Yeah,

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: it was it was a great It was a great

169
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: little trip. And I literally just landed today. So gosh,

170
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been in a little in Leana bubble.

171
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: But at the same time, my anxiety around the election

172
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: was on one hundred. Being in Georgia, I know, I

173
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: was like, I.

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: Know, I'm not gonna lie. Why you know, I'm taking

175
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: November off because that is just real. I'm also gonna

176
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: take it off from social media. I said, I'm not

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: the laugh of luxury. Healthy almost took me out. I

178
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: was beating every article, every post, every in my heart

179
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: like literally my blood pressure was through the roof. And

180
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: I said, I can stay informed without infecting myself with

181
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: bear and negativity. And I've already pre voted because I said,

182
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm actually not also trusting people not

183
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: to act dumb and so think I said, pre voted,

184
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: but I voted early.

185
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm so happy.

186
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 3: I got like my ballot thing in the mail and

187
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: it was like I never voted early before. Oh you know,

188
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: just like yeah, because honestly, it's never usually busy or

189
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: anything like that. But I said, you know what, I'm

190
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: going for a walk today the place where I'm voting.

191
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: It was like maybe like a twenty minute walk away,

192
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: and I'm like, it was beautiful right outside the park.

193
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: And when I got there, I had seen a line earlier.

194
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: When I got there, you know, there's always this, you know,

00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: at the voting stations, always older black ladies that just be.

Speaker 1: I don't don't call me with moment but like when

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: it's done, it's done.

229
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: But I don't want to Like I was watching moment

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: by moment alby my heart rate was just racing. I'm

231
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: not doing that this year. I can't take it.

232
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: The only thing I do want to stay tuned for

233
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: is I hope they're going to do a live feet

234
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 2: of Kamala's watch party because I hear it's going to

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: be at Howard. That's still the case. Yeah, so if

236
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: that happens. But I mean, the beauty of having kids.

237
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think what I have planned that day.

238
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: It's like it's just going to be a day. I'm

239
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: just going to try to like enjoy it. I do

240
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: think I'm going to take the boys when I pick

241
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: them up today and go vote early, you know, so

242
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: they can learn about civic duty and get a sticker.

243
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: I want about that.

244
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: I love that. Can we just squeeze my babies. It's

245
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: been five days since I've.

246
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: Squeezed my babies. I won't understand what's happening. Do they

247
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: understand election? They did? I talk about that in school.

248
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: No big natural disasters like weather is a big thing now.

249
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: Like Rio's kind of understanding hurricanes and all that. He

250
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: was very sad and concerned for the people of Florida

251
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: and the Gulf Coast the election. He understands voting, I think,

252
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: But I don't know. If I asked him who the

253
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: president was, I don't know if he'd say Biden.

254
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Amelia had a meltdown the other day. I was like,

255
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: what's happening.

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: She was like, I'm like a full fledged meltdown. She's like,

257
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: we're like why are you? Why are you upset?

258
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: She's like, you know why? Like and I was just

259
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: like wait what? And so, so they're learning about voting

260
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: in school.

261
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, and I remember that when you're like,

262
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: you know, you voted, so that way you can learn,

263
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: you know.

264
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 1: But of course they're not telling the kids who to

265
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: vote for.

266
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: But she said one of her friends told her about

267
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: the bad man and we can all guess who that

268
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 3: is and if he wins, all the bad things he's

269
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: going to do. So she was having like she's really

270
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: hyper sensitive to and so what do you even say?

271
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I was like, wait what? And she was just like,

272
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: you know why he can't win.

273
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I don't even know

274
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: what to say. I was just like, well, Mimi, you're

275
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: going to be able to vote when you get bigger,

276
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: and there's going to be so many other elections and

277
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: you know. But she was like almost inconsolable. I'm like,

278
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: what the hell does this friend say say to you?

279
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

280
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 1: At first I thought, did you learn about it?

281
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: She's like No, I learned about voting in school, and

282
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: then you know, you vote for the president, you vote

283
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: for this person. But you know that her friend told

284
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: her that a very bad man that wants to be

285
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: the president, he's going to do very bad things. And

286
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: she was really scared about what those things. You know,

287
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: she couldn't tell you articulate the specific things, just bad.

288
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: Everything is bad. And that's well.

289
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: I think that is the appropriate emotional reaction we should

290
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: all be having. And I couldn't think of a better

291
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: synopsis of the stakes. It's a bad man who wants

292
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: to do bad things, and if he wins, he's going

293
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: to do bad things. Okay, Like no line is detected, Mimi,

294
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: buckle up.

295
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I know.

296
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: Up, darling, you're learning a good civic lesson today. Also,

297
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: Mufasa dies.

298
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Roman's like what up?

299
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh my god, it's like in

300
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: the election of eighteen ninety eight. But yeah, man, yeah,

301
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: I just tell the children at all costs.

302
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: But are you worried about like, you know, any sort

303
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: of physical like any sort of like out you know

304
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: what I mean? Like I am worried about violence.

305
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Coretta and Sylvia and Harold at the polls.

306
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm worried about my neighbor Paulette, who's working the polls up.

307
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: And you'd be surprised that you get forty five minutes

308
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: north of Manhattan and it is quite concerned about here.

309
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: Lots of Trump signs, especially where one of my girlfriends lives.

310
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Oh my days by where Remy goes to daycare. Lots

311
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: of Drump and not just Trump yard signs, like yeah,

312
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: I thought.

313
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: Put up a literally he had his Trump signed up

314
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: since you know, he lost like in a window, and

315
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: I guess I was like, oh, he finally took it down,

316
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: like it because Newark is very black. And then I

317
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: saw that he had flagpoles installed installed which chronically enough,

318
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: by a group of clearly migrant workers.

319
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I was I wanted to take a picture of me.

320
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: I mean they were having their lunch on his front lawn,

321
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: clearly migrant workers. I mean, obviously he must have hired whoever,

322
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: and this is who they hired. I'm like, sir, and

323
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: they put up this truck. I was like, not a flagpole.

324
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: I don't do you know what it takes to put

325
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: a flagpole, not like these little no, no, no digging.

326
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: The thing concrete.

327
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: I mean, he's flying his flag loud and proud in

328
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: one of the blackest neighborhoods in the country, and we're

329
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: just like, okay.

330
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: I mean, shout out to democracy in the First Amendment.

331
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: He can do that. But for me and my nervous

332
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: I am, I'm really just turning to our community. I'm

333
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: turning to my bandy money maker community. I'm turning to

334
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: I was on the I've been on the last few

335
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: Win with Black Women calls on Sunday nights, and even

336
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: if I had it on kind of as I was

337
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: doing other things on my computer, and it's just comforting

338
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: because like, the more I can, it just feels like

339
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: there's other grown ups in the room and that there's

340
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: there's such a I mean, Barack Obama showed up on

341
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: the Black Win with Black Men call last night that

342
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: was live streamed and in you know, Michelle Obama speech

343
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: this week, the Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Tina introducing her

344
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: in Houston. The fact that she went to Houston, that's

345
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: the you know, I know that you're not I know

346
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: that it's not the greatest to only look at things

347
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: that bring you joy in the news because obviously there

348
00:16:53,760 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: is a ton of chaos happening outside of you know,

349
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 2: the United States. But those are the moments that when

350
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: I go to sleep, I try to run through those

351
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: in my head, you know, and I just I pray

352
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: almost that we can just like get through it and

353
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: get some shit done, because what really is keeping me

354
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: up at night is like Sudan and Palestine. I'm about

355
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: to go into therapy tomorrow and be like, so, let's

356
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: review how I'm supposed to cope with these atrocities happening,

357
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: and like, you know, we just need we need all

358
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: the humanity we can right now. The election is important,

359
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: it's not It is not the only thing happening in

360
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: the world. It is one really important thing, but there's

361
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: also others. Life will go on, Santa will come, Mimi's

362
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: going to sing, you know, on November first. I just

363
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: let's get through it. Let's support one another, Let's do

364
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: what we can. Let's call our friends, call our family.

365
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: See if granny needs and ride to the poles, see

366
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: if uncle needs one. He just got his hip or

367
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: place to keep out of surgery, whatever, you know. See

368
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: in small ways what we can do to just make

369
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: sure that people show up and that every vote, every

370
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: single vote, counts, And I always keep remembering this, like

371
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: this refrain. I forget where I've heard it, probably just

372
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: a bunch of different places at this point. But anxiety.

373
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: It's a passenger in the car, but it's not allowed

374
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: to drive the car. You are driving the car. So

375
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: that also helps me when things feel very existential and scary.

376
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just yeah, it's a lot, and it's okay

377
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: to opt out of the worst of it, and just

378
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: to do enough to stand for you are allowed to

379
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: do that. You don't actually actually have to roll around

380
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: on the muck of it. For those of you who

381
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: don't have the capacity, you know, there are ways to

382
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: stand form there. There are like you know, you can

383
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: read like you know, Wall Street Journal, New York Times,

384
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: things that are not quite a salacious just so you're informed,

385
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: but not like rolling around in the monk of it.

386
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: And also too sometimes you get even opt out of that.

387
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: Believe me, there's enough people in your life that will say, hey,

388
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: this is what's happening, and this is what's going on.

389
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, there's this collective. I was thinking

390
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 3: about this today that whenever I walk, especially in the fall,

391
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: like I you know, there's always some leaf that catches

392
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 3: my eyes.

393
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: I think myself, Oh my god, this live is so

394
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: freaking beautiful. It's like a frea.

395
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: Consumer star, you know, because they're like perfectly designed. And

396
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: I think to myself, I might be the only person

397
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: in the world that we'll all see this leaf. And

398
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: this leaf has decided to be beautiful anyway. And what

399
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: a lesson that, you know, we can shine whether we're

400
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: going to get seen or not. And then doctor Green

401
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 3: reminded me that, like you're shining and it's critically important

402
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: because you are part.

403
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: Of a collective.

404
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: Imagine if all the leaves were like, well, I'm not

405
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: going to be seen. I'm not going to change this

406
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: beautiful color in the northeast. But think about the collective

407
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: like cocophony of like what the leaves look like when

408
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: they've all changed colors. That we are all individually so

409
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: important and connected. And I know we like to think

410
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: of them over there and these people were there and

411
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: that no, no, no, no, Like there is a collective

412
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: consciousness that we all are part.

413
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: Of, and to harm one is to harm all.

414
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: Think about how we collectively felt when COVID happened. I

415
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: didn't know anybody in Paris, but I felt them because

416
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: I was feeling the same thing.

417
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: We all had to set down somewhere.

418
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: You know, think about how we collectively felt when you know,

419
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: those planes hit on nine to eleven. There was this

420
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: collective consciousness that here in the United States, we were like,

421
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 3: what the hell that we collectively felt? And so we

422
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: just be best to remember that, like you can't do

423
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: harm to one without harming yourself. You know that there

424
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: is a collective consciousness. And I don't know that we'll

425
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: ever get to a place where we remember that, like

426
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: we're part of a whole, and each leaf is important,

427
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 3: whether it gets to be a superstar or not, that

428
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: is collective.

429
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: It's collectively important. So I just think about that a lot,

430
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Like I wonder iful I ever get to a place

431
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: of civility where we're not like, you know, like it's

432
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: it's like me against you and somebody gotta lose, you know.

433
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: I think that's no. I do feel like there are

434
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 2: a lot of people who do feel that way, but

435
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: they're not often on cable news. And I think if

436
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: you put down the phone like you said you're doing,

437
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: and like not not tune in and not be immersed

438
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: in the in the entertainment, the spectacle of it all.

439
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: I think just regular people down at the pole Sylvia

440
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: being like, just vote, glad you're here. You know, here's

441
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: a munch can enjoy. It's a little stale be here's

442
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: since four am, but here's a munchkin. You know, have

443
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: a good day. But yeah, I pray. I'm praying for

444
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: the poll workers, and I hope that there's no shenanigans

445
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 2: because they're just good people volunteering or getting paid peanuts,

446
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: you know, to be there. NBA fan, will we talk

447
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: to them again before that? I don't know if we'll

448
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: talk to you all again before the election.

449
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: This is it.

450
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: We'll see y'all next Wednesday. On the other side.

451
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: You on the other side.

452
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about something that cheers us up. All right, Okay,

453
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: you brought the leaf thing? Anything else?

454
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Not the leaf thing?

455
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 3: We talked about last time? We talked about their house warming,

456
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 3: because that was such a beautiful warming.

457
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: Did we talk about it? Because did I just talked

458
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: to you about it?

459
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Didn't we record last week? I do

460
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: not recall.

461
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: Oh no, you know what we had?

462
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 2: NFL star Brandon Copeland.

463
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.

464
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: Well, I want to say that I had a housewarming

465
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: and Mandy and her amazing husband came.

466
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: It was so great to see them both out and

467
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: be out.

468
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: I thought about Rigi today because I was like, oh,

469
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: I need to buy a new dishwasher.

470
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: You know who I should ask me because you know

471
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: he is like.

472
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: Yo. I remember last time he was like my best

473
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 3: buddy because we were both buying appliance at the same time,

474
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: like your household of my, and I'd be like, you're like, well,

475
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: and you can read a book about im, like put

476
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: them on the phone. So and I have to say

477
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: all of the choices that he hate me help me

478
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: make with my appliances. I mean it's been what six

479
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: years now, I mean a plus plus and not not

480
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: an issue. So I'm like Evka, So I might just

481
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: buy the same diswatch for I bought last time that

482
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: he suggested. But the houseworm was so great because I

483
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: didn't understand until well, I'll say this that I although

484
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 3: I thought my condo was great, it felt like a

485
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: beautiful hotel. And I told doctor Greene, like, it doesn't

486
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: feel like home. I'm not really sure what to do.

487
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, when I go back to my househouse,

488
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: that kind of feels like home, but not as much

489
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: as it used to. And I kind of feel like

490
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: shiftless in the middle. And she said, well, it doesn't

491
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: feel like home because you haven't built memories there and

492
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: you know, your your house in you know, around the corner.

493
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 3: It feels like home because you built all these amazing memories.

494
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: You just have to consciously build memories at the condo.

495
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: And I said, okay, And so the housewarming, I'm so

496
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: glad I did decided to have it at the condo

497
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: because it was my birthday. You know, it's literally my

498
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: birthday party slash housewarming because the amount of love and

499
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: it was just like everyone all my folks. I mean,

500
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: I've been forty was the last time I think when

501
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 3: I cut off the last negative person in my life

502
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: who had direct access. But I am just surrounded by

503
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: the most amazing people. I mean, Terrell Jirell's twin was there,

504
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: my boyfriend was there, and a boyfriend.

505
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Nanny was like when I said, this is my boyfriend

506
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: rooting for you.

507
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: Nandy and her husband was there, my sister's, my niece,

508
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: my nephew. But it was just such an amazing, like

509
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 3: twenty five plus people, delicious food from our fave Nisha,

510
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: and the next day. I never understood why people called

511
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: it a housewarming until I woke up the next day

512
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: and the house felt different.

513
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: It was warmed with love. Honestly, I was like, oh,

514
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: this is why it went from this beautiful kind of

515
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: cold place, not literally cold, but you know, a mostly

516
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: cold place to like, it felt so beautifully warm in here,

517
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: and you guys left so much love behind, and I

518
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: just was so grateful for that.

519
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: I just was like, all right, I'm gonna be intentional

520
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: with having other warming activities here, and so I'm just

521
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 3: really grateful for that.

522
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean it's blank canvas. I think for

523
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: any new homeowner or like moving into a new space,

524
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: especially when it is that immaculate and designed within an

525
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: inch of its life for beauty and aliens, I feel

526
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: the same way. I want to like rough it around

527
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: the edges a little bit. I mean, not your place,

528
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: because it's very nice, but you know, get little Yeah,

529
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: I like the idea, but just having the kids run around,

530
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 2: make some art, add their art to the art walls. Yeah,

531
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: you have all your great beautiful art, but like you know,

532
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: get some pictures from the party being punted up, but yeah,

533
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: it was. It was a beautiful, beautiful full time. And

534
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: I got to play another date night for Husbie because

535
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: he's been here with alone with these children. Not alone

536
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: because he always imports his parents from the heights, because

537
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: I'm just like, you can do this, but he's just whatever,

538
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: he needs his chaperons. But yeah, he's been here with

539
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: the kiddos. And I'm probably gonna have to convince the

540
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: boys that I'm still cool and that they love me

541
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: a lot, because one thing about these boys is they

542
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: do love their dad, and I love it for them.

543
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: But when I'm gone, like it makes it so much

544
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: harder because I feel like I gotta Frio is a

545
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: little easier. Remy Rue, Oh my baby, that baby loves his.

546
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: Daddy too much.

547
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: It's like, where's my little school wish? But we're doing

548
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: our oh so one thing bringing me joey is we're

549
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: doing our Halloween block party this week and I took

550
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: charge over it because it can got it can get

551
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: a little political in our neighborhood between the the the

552
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: elders and the young'uns and myself being on the young

553
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: inside and like it can get a little Yeah, there's

554
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: a lot there's it can be a little political and

555
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: a little dramatic. And I just told the girls this year,

556
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: I was like, listen, I got this. Type B mom

557
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: is who I am, and type B mom is going

558
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: to save the day. Like, don't worry about nothing. So

559
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: we're having a party. Kids are gonna come, Candy will

560
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: be consumed, laughter will be had, houses will be bounced in.

561
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: It's going to be I love a good old time.

562
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: I love that.

563
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: So we'll just focus on those happy.

564
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: What about a little bit of like business shade. So

565
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: are you familiar with Darius Cooks?

566
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: Wait?

567
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: No, okay, so I know you're familiar food with Tabitha Brown.

568
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course.

569
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: Right.

570
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: We didn't talk about this because I was like, we

571
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: usually don't like dabble in the shades. But so Darius

572
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 3: Cooks is like I would say, he's a food influencer.

573
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 3: He's also like a cook. He's had some restaurants, but

574
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: he's always in some mess. You know, some people actually

575
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: relish in the mess of it all. He loves to

576
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: talk badly about people.

577
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: He's on the wrapping chef is because that's my favorite.

578
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not even close. So anyway,

579
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: we all know Auntie Tab. I don't like to call

580
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: her Aunti Tab because we the same age, so we

581
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: all know Tab cousin Tab. And so he did this

582
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: video saying that he believed that her Target deal was

583
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: was unwise.

584
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: Did you hear about this?

585
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: Oh lord?

586
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: And so he was like, this is a really unwise

587
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: deal and that she could have made way more money

588
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 3: if she created her own line of things. And some

589
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 3: of the numbers he was spitting out of was like,

590
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: are these just just made up numbers?

591
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: He was saying it was really crazy.

592
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: And you know, it's one thing to kind of like

593
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: talk about business and kind of this esoteric sense, but

594
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: he was calling her like a fool. She's a fool,

595
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: he just kept saying, over and over. He basically was like,

596
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: here's the thing about his numbers. He said, So, let's

597
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: just say cousin Tab made ten million dollars from this

598
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: target deal where she put her face on certain things

599
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 3: or whatever.

600
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: He said.

601
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: If she created like a potline for herself, let's just

602
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: say pots, because that's what he does, and she sold

603
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: them for like forty bucks a pot or whatever with

604
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: her However, many three four million followers. If two three

605
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: million of them bought the pots, she would make one

606
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollars some crazy number. And I

607
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: was like, now here's the thing, Darius is. He might

608
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: be done, but he's not stupid. He's in business man

609
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: to me, it like, and there were people in the

610
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: audits that're like, oh, that is so true. That's so true.

611
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: One that's actually not how business works. You don't make gross,

612
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: you make net. So even if she were to sell

613
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: a pot on social media for forty dollars, it's like

614
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: there would be distribution, they would be housing of that pot,

615
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: there would.

616
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: Be she'd be marketing and herself girl.

617
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: Creating the pot on top of the ten thousand other

618
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: things that cousins have does, and then you'd have to

619
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: pay for the warehouse and all the other things.

620
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: So that forty dollars dollars or whatever you'd make poor pot.

621
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: Might go down to five dollars and then the stress

622
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: of running that business. Also, the assumption that you have

623
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: four million followers and two million will buy a pot.

624
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: That's crazy because the conversion rate of social media on

625
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: the high end, you're looking at about two or three percent.

626
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: If you're lucky actually purchasing a product. Typically you have

627
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: two or three percent. The larger the audience actually just

628
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: engage with your with your content, you know, so to

629
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: even say that like no one, no one closes as

630
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 3: a third of the people following them purchasing something, unless

631
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: you only have one hundred people following you. The larger

632
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: the audience, the less likely that people are going to engage.

633
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: And then you get so let's just say three percent

634
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: of people engage with her content, and then three percent

635
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: of the people who engage actually buy. And so all

636
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: of that trouble versus like you know, working with a

637
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: target that's going to do the heavy lift and pay

638
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: you as someone who has done both, you know, like

639
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: I have sold books separately, you know, like an independently

640
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: or like it gets to keep more money. And then

641
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: I've sold books traditionally where Penguin, my publishing house, takes

642
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: on the heavy lift of printing the books, shipping the books,

643
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: distributing the books, all that kind of stuff. And I'm

644
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: here to say there's no necessary right or wrong. But

645
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: everyone doesn't want to do all the things of solf.

646
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes they just want to sit back and be like,

647
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: give me a cute little check, so I just thought like, yeah,

648
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: it just it really bothered me to see. I mean,

649
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: I know he's only doing it because he wants his

650
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: name out there.

651
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: So it's like giving creepy old guy at the gym

652
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: telling you, yeah, giving you advice you didn't ask for

653
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: when like trying to give some own biles tips, yeah,

654
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: because he don't recognize her. Or there was that one

655
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: that viral video of like the pro golfer the woman

656
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: golfer who went to like one of those you know,

657
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: the things where people can golf, regulars regulars can golf,

658
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: and a guy came over and tried to give her

659
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: advice and she's like, I don't know, some kind of

660
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: like crazy world iman or something. Yeah, that's what it's giving.

661
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: It's like you can also sit down, Darius.

662
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

663
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's embarrassing for him. We're giving oxygen

664
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: to his name, which I guess is what he wanted.

665
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: But let me just say Tab tab tab tab time

666
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: tab target.

667
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean cap speaking tab.

668
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: She's she's been in like movies now, TV shows, and

669
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: you know she's not just out here tap.

670
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: You know, cousin Tab has a whole team.

671
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: I just thought it was just important to be like here,

672
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: people are going to have opinions always and oftentimes they

673
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: don't have access to what you are capable of doing.

674
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: And like, who showed him the contract?

675
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean nobody did nobody? Did you know? And so

676
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: all that you're.

677
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: Guessing that she's making, you don't know she makes front

678
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: end and back end, you.

679
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: Know, all that you're guessing that she's making.

680
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: I just thought that, like, you know, it bears to

681
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: be said that, like child, it's okay to sit down

682
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: and mind your business, you know, but I get it.

683
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: His business is to be salacious.

684
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: Is it?

685
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: Because it doesn't he just cook well, you would think.

686
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: But the truth matter is I think when things get quiet,

687
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: he likes to do things like this will talk about him.

688
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: But I think he thought.

689
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he realized how many people would be

690
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 3: angry on her behalf because normally his audience is very loyal,

691
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: even when he does shenanigans.

692
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: But they said this is where.

693
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: We draw the line a cousin tab and so I

694
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,280

697
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 3: businesses that you might find yourself on the receiving end

698
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: of unsolicited advice from people who have no idea.

699
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,640

00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,640

00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: gonna break the fact that someone. Uh So I did

748
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: a little meet up while I was in Atlanta of

749
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: Mandy Money Make and then couple of Yeah. It was

750
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: really cute and also just brand ambition fans. There was

751
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: like one who's like, can I come? And I was

752
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: like yeah, And so this woman called Stacy she came.

753
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 2: And Stacy had just founded this organization called Shift Her,

754
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: which focuses on Black women's reproductive health and especially on

755
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: perry menopause and menopause and the postmenopause. And she just

756
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: launched this, I think last February, but she's already had

757
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: an event with this renowned obg yn called Jessica Shepherd.

758
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: And Jessica Shepherd she just became the chief medical officer

759
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: for Hers or Hymns. You don't that brand? What is

760
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: it called Hers? It's like in Target. Yeah, she's a

761
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: chief medical officer at Hers. So anyway, Jessica had just

762
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: written a book called Generation M and I started to

763
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: read it because Stacy so kindly informed me that even

764
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: though I'm in my late dirties, perry menopause starts earlier

765
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: and women color because we get everything everything great and

766
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: good for us only. And I'm already I mean, I'm

767
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: not I'm not fully I'm not going to say I'm

768
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: in perimenopause. I have not talked to a gynecologist since

769
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: I pushed out my child and got the checkup. Yeah. So,

770
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: but I'm like concerned because my mom started a menopause

771
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: in her early to mid forties. And you can never

772
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: be I think, too aware or too prepared. So the

773
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: book is called Generation M Living Well in Perimenopause and Menopause.

774
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: So check it out, read it.

775
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's that.

776
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,800

Speaker 2: I love that we're talking about it more about the end.

798
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know, I'm curious to hear what your

799
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 2: experience has been to But the whole Perry of it all,

800
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: Tad is one of the people that it is like,

801
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 2: she's real, She's so real about it, and it just

802
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 2: kind of it just takes the oxygen out of that

803
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: idea that it's like something to be ashamed about or

804
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: something to be hidden. It's natural. But if we just

805
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: we destigmatize it and we talk about it and older

806
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: generations talk to younger generations mothers to daughters, aunties to

807
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 2: nieces and help us, maybe we won't have to suffer

808
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: as much in silence like, well.

809
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 3: I'll say that so far it's probably I mean now

810
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 3: that I think about, like I used to be so

811
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: good at sleeping at night, and then I wasn't.

812
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: So it could have been that, you know, like they soud,

813
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: I know, you know it's so crazy because I was

814
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: asleep on me. Just give me a pillow.

815
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: I don't even need a bit of a pillow and

816
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: a flat surface. But then I even now I have

817
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: a hard time staying asleep. I will say, like my

818
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 3: psycho is is still really regular. That's why I had

819
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 3: not thought about it. I always just associated metopause you

820
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: don't get your period, and I was like, well I'm

821
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 3: still getting it, so.

822
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: But even still things like.

823
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know if I send it to I

824
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: need to because sorry, you know men listening, not sorry

825
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 3: you god daughters.

826
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: Is you man to a woman that.

827
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: Even the color of your period will kind of indicate

828
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 3: what's happening. So for example, they were like, if you women,

829
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 3: who will know this, if you kind of get that

830
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: brick red brownish pre post period, which I was getting,

831
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: that sometimes shows that you have low progesterone. That's why

832
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 3: I wasn't able to have a baby. But I was

833
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 3: getting that. I wish I would have known early. Like,

834
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: if you're getting that in your mid and early thirties,

835
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 3: you might really want to lean in with your doctor

836
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: and say, oh ho, you know, like ideally your period

837
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: supposed to be kind of like bright red, and this

838
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 3: means that, like you know, you're there are certain things

839
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: that different colors of your period means. And I just

840
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: was like whoa, and I had not known that, and

841
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 3: so yeah, so but as you know, the older I get,

842
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: the more that color shows up, which you know, which

843
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: is natural because the older you get, the lower your

844
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 3: progesterone levels, the less likely you are to have to

845
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: be able to get pregnant. But yeah, but even now,

846
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 3: like I mean, I was at my gotecologist the other

847
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 3: day and she said, like, be care careful, you know,

848
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: because you, I know, you think you can't get pregnant, Tiffany.

849
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: But like sometimes she said.

850
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: Girl, women, be like that last bit of boom boom

851
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 3: on your way out, she said, because your body's like

852
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 3: hold on, we're about to talk. Were about to close

853
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 3: up shop. Let me let me sell some of these

854
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: last goods in here, she said. The oldest woman that

855
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 3: she ever delivered a baby for fifty two and she said.

856
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 3: The lady was like, is this real? So she said,

857
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 3: she said, you're still getting your cycle. And although it's

858
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 3: not as likely, sometimes women actually will ramp up their

859
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: fertility right as they're about to head on out, you know.

860
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, because you know, up until now,

861
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I can't you know, it is

862
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: what it is.

863
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 3: And she said, you know, I don't know where you

864
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: are as far as wanting to give birth, but just

865
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 3: be mindful that you know, it's not off the table,

866
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: you know.

867
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: And it just was just like okay, So.

868
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean other than that, I don't know, Like

869
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 3: I don't the truth in matter is I might be

870
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 3: experiencing penny perimenopause sensens and I just don't know that's

871
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 3: what it was. I just was like, I'm stressed, I'm

872
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 3: not sleeping, not realizing that that might be a symptom because.

873
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, my cycle is regular. I'm like, that's

874
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: not the only symptom.

875
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what we need to know about the sleeping

876
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 2: thing and the itchy ears and yeah, yeah there's tons.

877
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: So that's a good place to start. So the documentary.

878
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: I just looked it up on PBS for anyone who's interested.

879
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: It's called The M Factor, Shutting the Silence on Menopause.

880
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: And then doctor Shepherd's book is called The M or

881
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: Generation M Living Well at the Time of Perry Perrymenopause

882
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: and Menopause. So let's educate ourselves, yes, because she's coming for.

883
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 3: Us all if you're blessed enough to be here's long well,

884
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do just a quick booth. I had always

885
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 3: mentioned that twenty twenty three was like kind of a

886
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: hard dear business. I was like down forty percent in

887
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: my most profitable business, which is the literature Academy, and

888
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: the budget needs to just broke even.

889
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: So I mean, like NET, maybe we just paid our bills.

890
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: So this year was much better.

891
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 3: Still, you know, not kaboom, but you know we were

892
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 3: We were better than NET and we had strong profits

893
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 3: and so but what the what the down year taught

894
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 3: me was it was time for me to get additional

895
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 3: leadership help. So I've got leaders leaders on my team.

896
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 3: But I realized that more and more what I'm really

897
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 3: good at and what I'm not good at, and I'm

898
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 3: not good at strategy I'm really good at networking. You

899
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: put me in a room, I'm gonna come back with

900
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 3: a contract, you know, you put me out you know,

901
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 3: put me out there coach.

902
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna like, I am really good at bringing

903
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: money to the table.

904
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: But I really have a hard time. I mean, I'm

905
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 3: a good enough leader in that, you know, like I

906
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: build really great community and.

907
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: On team, great culture.

908
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 3: People feel like they have autonomy all that stuff, But

909
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: if you were to ask me day to day, I

910
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 3: have a hard time wrapping my mind around creating structure.

911
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: And so I decided that I was gonna get a

912
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: co CEO.

913
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: So I could just do the parts that I'm really

914
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: good at and then someone else who is very structured

915
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 3: can do that. And so I had this business coach

916
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 3: that I had for the last five or six years.

917
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: His name is de Besh, and.

918
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: I didn't I had been looking Zion something.

919
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well Zion was the coach. So they co coached.

920
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 3: They had a team of coaches. Yeah, some Zions who

921
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 3: I met originally, But Devest was one of his co

922
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: coaches and he's the one that, like the team really

923
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: clicked with the most during that time period.

924
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: And then he continued to coach me afterward, Okay, gotcha, okay.

925
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 3: And so so yeah, I know him for a while,

926
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 3: but I was like, Zion's not gonna want to co CEO.

927
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 3: And my friend's like, well, why don't you ask? You

928
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 3: never know because he I'm not the only CEO he

929
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 3: was coaching. He's a CEO coach, so he had a

930
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: bunch of clients. I'm like, yeah, but he has a

931
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 3: whole business. Girl, he's busy, and she's like, just ask

932
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 3: because I had been looking and it had not been

933
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: going well. And you know, I already knew how great

934
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: he was. And he's kind all the thing, but also

935
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 3: very structured without feeling like oppressive and overwhelming.

936
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: So I was like, this is gonna sound crazy, but

937
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking for co CEO. I know you're busy with

938
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: your own business. And he said, actually, it's not crazy.

939
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: I believe Zion has either two or three kids. He's married,

940
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 1: and he's like, honestly, his kids are not like big kids,

941
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're young.

942
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,479
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm wanting to kind of just settle down

943
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: basically because of CEO. Because Zion will fly out and

944
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: go to a meeting with you. That's what kind of

945
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 3: coach he is, Like, I had a big old meeting

946
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: in the city. He flew from he and lives in Canada.

947
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 3: He flew from Canada to meet me, to have the

948
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 3: meeting with me. So you could just have to imagine,

949
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 3: you know, how not to put your business out there.

950
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 3: Zion not Zorion, sorry the best, but you can imagine

951
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: how when you have young kids. You know, it's a

952
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 3: lot because I'm not, like I said, I'm not his

953
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 3: only client, and he was like, I'd be lying if

954
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: I didn't say. I thought to myself, if I was

955
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 3: ever gonna be the ceover company, it would.

956
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: Be the budgeties STA because I love the energy, the

957
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: intention and the integrity with which you run that business.

958
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, since I've been here for like six years

959
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: just watching and seeing how the team navigates, and so

960
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: we have been testing it out. You know, I know.

961
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: How's it going and why specifically co CEO and not

962
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 2: like COO or chief strategy officer or something like that.

963
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm just curious.

964
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: Because I really wanted eventually, I want to like literally

965
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 3: do none of the strategy stuff, like because as a CEO,

966
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: there are parts that I still have to be responsible

967
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 3: for and ideally, you know, maybe one day I won't

968
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: even be CEO. I don't know, And so this is

969
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 3: like a gentle like can you come in and run

970
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 3: the back end of the business. Like we just had

971
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 3: like such an amazing call our team. We have a

972
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 3: team call every.

973
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: Monday, and all the ideas.

974
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 3: Like I'm the type. We have all these ideas floating

975
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 3: in the air. We talked through them, but we didn't

976
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 3: have some sort of document. He created this amazing document

977
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 3: where we could see like what the next what the

978
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: the end of the year looks like? Like who's responsible

979
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 3: for what we went through? When do you think you'll

980
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: have this done? Because usually we walk through these things,

981
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: but there's no visual and now everyone kind of got

982
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 3: to share what they felt. They're like, I love the

983
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 3: fact that I don't feel like I'm working in a silo.

984
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: I know what everyone's working on, but I also know

985
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 3: what my responsibilities are. I was not able to provide

986
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 3: that although we talked through it. I knewhere everything was

987
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: in my head, but I didn't know how to create

988
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 3: the systems. If you will, you know, And so right

989
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 3: now there are one of the goals for one of

990
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 3: the responsibilities for a CEO obviously is to make sure

991
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 3: that all things back end are working and create systems

992
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 3: and but also part of the role of the CEO

993
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: is what I'm really good at is bringing money to

994
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 3: the table. And so that's why I said co CEO

995
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: because I really want to split my responsibilities in half.

996
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: Like, let me go out.

997
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 3: If you give me the freedom, I will bring back

998
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 3: so much money to the table. I speak on a conference,

999
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 3: a panel or whatever. People say, I want to work

1000
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 3: with you, we work it out, then I can drop

1001
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: it off with the team and then the best you create,

1002
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: you know, a plan to navigate and work through what

1003
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 3: does it actually look like the delivery of the thing

1004
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 3: that I just you know, I helped to pull in.

1005
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 3: And so that's why I said co CEO because it

1006
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 3: really is there are multiple roles of the CEO, and

1007
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 3: I want to split them in half and just focus

1008
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 3: on the things that I'm really good at. Yeah, and

1009
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: so I'm looking forward to it. So you know, I'm

1010
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: taking November off. So he's been here about a month.

1011
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 3: He was already working with me anyway, but been here

1012
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 3: with the team for about a month. And now he's

1013
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 3: going to be able to work with them this month

1014
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 3: without me being here, you know, December, we have half

1015
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 3: the month. At the end of January, we get to

1016
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 3: all vote, or my vote counts equally as everyone else anonymously, Like,

1017
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 3: because I made the mistake of promoting someone to CEO

1018
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 3: and then the team being like, who said that, Who's

1019
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't I don't want that.

1020
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: I was like, wait what, So I had to.

1021
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I didn't want to make that same mistake again,

1022
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: So I said, you know, I you know, I could

1023
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 3: tell they're nervous, but I think they realized now, oh,

1024
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 3: it really is co Tiffany is still here. She's just

1025
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 3: doing her tifany stuff, but she's really good at and

1026
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: so also too, I let them know. If the vote

1027
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 3: says then it's no girl, we will figure out something else.

1028
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 2: So they're going to vote on whether or not Divush

1029
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 2: is going to be he knows, he's well aware.

1030
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: So they will vote, and but I want them to vote,

1031
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 3: and whether it's yes or no, I want them to

1032
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 3: share why, because either way we want to get feedback like, yeah,

1033
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 3: you were really great, but you didn't communicate as well

1034
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 3: about this or whatever that is.

1035
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: And so isn't pretty unusual to let like staff vote

1036
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: on the seat. Absolutely, it's like a board on the

1037
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 2: high mountain top.

1038
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 3: Is but we never navigated that way because here's the thing.

1039
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 3: In the end, unhappy people work unhappily, and I don't

1040
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: want that to like, I want that like you know

1041
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 3: that we're all on board. I've always I always operate

1042
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: the company from a place of transparency. Everyone sees the numbers,

1043
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 3: everyone sees our income, everyone sees our and because then

1044
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 3: I don't have to, then people can work with integrity

1045
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 3: because they know that I do. And I want people

1046
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: to know that I actually do care what you think.

1047
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: If y'all hate him, then and I want to know

1048
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 3: because imagine me going out there and then people don't

1049
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 3: really fully do their work if they're like, oh, here

1050
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 3: he go telling me what to do. I'm not going

1051
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 3: to be physically here, So why would I leave you

1052
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 3: with somebody that you don't know like and trust and

1053
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: so like, yes, you usually don't, but I don't care

1054
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 3: about what people normally do over here at the Budgetista.

1055
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: It is really important to me to know how the team.

1056
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 3: Whether you're in customer support, hyper part time contract worker,

1057
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 3: you know, or you are like lead of you know,

1058
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 3: all things community here at the Budgetista, everyone's vote counts,

1059
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 3: and I want to know how you feel and that

1060
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 3: you get to do it anonymously so you don't have

1061
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 3: to worry. And then we get to share our feedback

1062
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 3: with him. And if the answer is yes, great, and

1063
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 3: it's not that we keep looking.

1064
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: Yes. But I'm excited about it. I mean so far,

1065
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean there's not you know, I'm checking in with

1066
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: everyone like, how do you really feel? What about this?

1067
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: You know, is there anything he could be doing better?

1068
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: And he's really open to that feedback too, because he said, Tiffany,

1069
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 3: I don't want to work anywhere where people don't want

1070
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 3: me here, so you know, I don't want to be

1071
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 3: forced on anyone, which made me feel really good.

1072
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel really good about it.

1073
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 3: I feel like the direction that the business is going

1074
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 3: in it's exactly what I'm wanting for myself as Tiffany,

1075
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 3: not myself as the Budgetista, which is, I want to

1076
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 3: have a business where I get to show up fully

1077
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: in the ways that I enjoy, but not stand in

1078
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 3: the way for the things that need to be done.

1079
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 3: And so if I can have someone do those things

1080
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 3: and then I can do the parts that I enjoy.

1081
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: Then I feel like we're rocking and rolling.

1082
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear what happened.

1083
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: I know of this end of January, that's when we

1084
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: get to vote, like.

1085
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not like there's been First of all,

1086
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 2: they were aware of him before, and then now you're

1087
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: having the transition period.

1088
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: I think that's great.

1089
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 2: I think, you know, there's no way to come out

1090
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 2: on the other side and for someone to say, you know,

1091
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 2: this was a raster decision and it's going to be

1092
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 2: really really well thought through, and I think that kind

1093
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: of transparency is so necessary. And yeah, I'm excited. I'm

1094
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: excited for.

1095
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 3: You and.

1096
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: For the Unicorn squad. Yeah, reminds me of one of

1097
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: my I only went to a couple talks at Finncom,

1098
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 2: but you know, our buddy just spreed from minority mindset.

1099
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: No he wasn't there, Oh yeah, he was there. Think

1100
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: I love him.

1101
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: I think he's spoken a few times at finn Con,

1102
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 2: but this year I got to see him. He's so cool.

1103
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 2: His style, I don't know.

1104
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: I know he's just a fly ist.

1105
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: I love just free. If we haven't done a Holibag

1106
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 2: episode to his his interview, we should but he had

1107
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 2: such a good talk on his you know, the fit.

1108
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: He's like how to fail and how he's failed trying

1109
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 2: to you know, move from a personal a personality based

1110
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: business to a business that is like a personality leveraged business.

1111
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's good, because that's what I'm trying to do.

1112
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think is.

1113
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 2: What everybody wants to do. But he Yeah, he gave

1114
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: a really good talk and just kind of talked through

1115
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 2: how he had minority mindset the YouTube channel, and then

1116
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 2: he wanted to do a blog and then that was

1117
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: like a five hundred thousand dollars fail, and then they

1118
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: pivoted to do is really successful newsletter instead, and it

1119
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 2: was great, And I think those like this is what

1120
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 2: it really is. You know, you're you're building a business

1121
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: or running a business in real time. So it's great

1122
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: to get a little peek behind the curtain because typically

1123
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 2: we only hear, you know, they started it in the

1124
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,439
Speaker 2: garage and then it's a unicorn and there's a billion

1125
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: blah blah blah were.

1126
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: Over here struggling.

1127
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 3: But you're right, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

1128
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to erase Tiffany from the bunjanista. I

1129
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 3: am the budgetista, but it's not I don't want to

1130
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 3: be personality based, but leverage, like use my base, use

1131
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: my whatever. But I can't touch every little piece of it.

1132
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 3: I'm actually not good at all the things I love that.

1133
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 3: My team was like, you know, like when I teach

1134
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: you Mania, I'm like, I'm holding you back and you're like, well, okay,

1135
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 3: because well no, but honestly, because one thing about me is.

1136
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: Running a little too hard.

1137
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, And honestly, the thing is, I don't

1138
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 3: mind the mirror because I know that it's true. You know,

1139
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 3: it does to make me feel bad, it's not a

1140
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 3: condemnation of my character. I can recognize, oh my gosh,

1141
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: without me, this person could do this. And I can

1142
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 3: recognize like because I'll hear it, like, you know, people.

1143
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: On the team like, oh so, what's happening? What are

1144
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: we doing?

1145
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 3: It's just and I'm just like, I know, I'm holding

1146
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 3: y'all back as far as it relates to like, I'm

1147
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 3: not that organized and my mind just doesn't work that way.

1148
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 3: And instead of trying to force myself into that position,

1149
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 3: it's like, I hear you, let me go find someone

1150
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 3: that can help us with that. And so the team

1151
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 3: is like tifany is listening.

1152
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 1: Of course they're like, well, we love you. I get it.

1153
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 3: You know, two things can be true that you think

1154
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 3: I'm great because I'm so nice and blah blah blah.

1155
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 3: But also I know that I'm causing a little like

1156
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 3: turmoil because you're not really sure what you should be

1157
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 3: working on in one in one order. And so like

1158
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 3: you know, I'm teaching, I also want to teach the

1159
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 3: team it is okay to acknowledge the places where you

1160
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 3: have shortcomings. And it doesn't mean that something's wrong with me.

1161
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 3: It means like that's just not my gift. That's okay,

1162
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 3: you know. So like I'm okay with acknowledging. I'm not

1163
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: good at everything, you know, it's just not possible to be.

1164
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 3: But the things I'm good at, if you position me,

1165
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 3: I could really ramp up and be better at and

1166
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 3: we can find like the best is a spreadsheet king

1167
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 3: and you know, like that's not me, y'all. I ain't

00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: never gonna get a spreadshee out of me again. So
