WEBVTT - Creating a Supportive Environment for Women

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hey, hey, we're back. We're black, we're brown, and ambition,

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>ambition and this ambition. I did you know, Mandy you did?

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Something's up with the riverside today. So if the podcast

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>sounds funky wonky, like, I don't know to because you

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 2>disappeared for like half a second, but I heard, I

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 2>hear you. I see you pretty in pink.

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>You think, But.

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the days when it was just audio, to be honest.

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because it's just video.

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>There's always something, there's always something. Well, I just dragged

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>myself home from the airport. I am fresh off Delta

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>flight two seven thirty nine.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>From I was.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I saw my dad. Oh lord, So the good stuff,

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the positive stuff is that I saw my dad. He's healthy,

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 2>he's doing well. He's back to his he's been back

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>to his self for a few months now. But like

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 2>he's back to driving me crazy. And I had to

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>like really remind myself, like remember when you were afraid

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>you're going to lose him? And he just prayed he's

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 2>still here to annoy me. But no, we had a

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>we actually had I we we would like, go on,

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 2>we're too similar to my dad and I. We both

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>want to be in the driver's seat. We both want

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to do it our way. And in the past I

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>would let that drive me nuts, but now I just

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.639
<v Speaker 2>I just roll with it, like I'm in his car.

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say goodbye to the next eight hours

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>of my day that I had planned, because at a minimum,

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>when you get in the car with Alton Windruff, you

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>were going to lose six to eight hours of your

0:01:54.520 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>life to whatever nonsense, whenever, little whims a game. Do

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's the journey, not the destiny. Now, we

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>went to the fourth quarter of the Hawks game, we

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>went fishing for a collective like time of rod in

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>the water, not trying to find all the things that

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>we needed to go fishing, like seventeen minutes, which is

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>about all I needed. But it was I mean, honestly,

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>it really is a journey, not the destination. So for me,

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>it's just about being in the car, just talking about whatever.

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 2>My dad likes to call random cousins and uncles and

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>then he's like here, made to move, say hello, and

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>then I gotta like talk to them and hear about

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the last time they saw me. And it's cute. It's

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>a nice rhythm to it. It was a really pleasant visit.

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 2>And I also did Finn con.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about the Finn of the Cohn.

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Or origin story. Finkong was lovely. I mean it was

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>in Atlanta, so I had to go.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I had missed.

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I had missed last year's New Orleans because my

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>dad was sick and all this stuff was happening. It's

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>always a good time. I mean for me, it's just

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 2>like it's a it's like a high school reunion, college

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>reunionsy vibe and it genuinely is so nice just to

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>get to squeeze your people that you only see on

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 2>the internet. So at one point, who was at yan Nelly?

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Miss be helpful? Yan Nelly incredible, She's been on the

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>show for her her book that came out. She came

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>up behind me and gave me a hug, and I

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>was just.

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Like, why am I getting emotional?

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>People are so sweet.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie with Jelly. Yeah.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's always gonna give you a little bit

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>of fomo when you see people that you know that

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>you like hanging out.

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I can see that. If I'm not banned for life,

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm not a post. You're so not.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you you would just need a disguise if

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to not be bothered. That's all because everyone.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 3>All my it's all the faith and personal finance. And

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 3>I saw Rachel my homie there, you know, we saw

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Chris Popcorn finance.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Mark your what is it your better wallet? Better wallet?

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Of course it is day Mark.

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry, the best of the wallet.

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I saw the old wallet. Elias, Oh, I forget her her?

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it Elias Lily?

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Lily?

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought it was Lily. Is it Elias her

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>full name?

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 3>I think so that's the homie Akak financial stylist.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there was just so many.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 3>I just saw everybody's posts and I don't know. Plus

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and two, I love, like, you know, the behind the scenes,

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>the you know, the brown version of of what happens

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 3>at Finnkin.

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>That's where I was really following.

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 3>So I loved all that, to see all the meetups,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 3>all the hangouts, all the connections. It's honestly, I mean,

0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 3>aside from like you know, we're not going to dredge

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>of old, but aside from what happened before, quite honestly,

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 3>ben Kind was always a good time. There was never

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 3>the issue, you know, like, I love meeting people. I

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 3>always thought that they had really great breakout sessions like

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 3>moving keynotes, you know.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, yeah, that was never the issue.

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>So I think it genuinely is one of the and

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.559
<v Speaker 2>it's become increasingly well, let me finish a sentence for once.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it is one of the best conferences for

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the audience that it wants to serve like you will

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 2>go and you will leave with gems and lots of gems,

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and the vibe is very good and collegial, ten out

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>of ten. And I also feel like increasingly it's I

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>feel like you don't need to necessarily be in the

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>financial like space with your content creation to benefit from

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 2>fin Con because it's not like there's a ton of

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>sessions on the latest five two nine plan or complex

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>tax code changes and things like that. It's a lot

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.559
<v Speaker 2>of literally running a business, personal brand, being a business owner,

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>scaling brand partnerships. They really care about helping you leave with,

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, elements that are going to like take your

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.479
<v Speaker 2>business to the next level and meetups and mentorships and

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>so much to offer. And yeah, but I there's nothing's

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>going to beat the og Girl Crew Black Girl Crew

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 2>from fin Con twenty twenty fourteen.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes, in New Orleans.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I need my Sandy, I need my Tiffy,

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I need my Tanya, I need my my Marsha. Yeah,

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>but maybe one day, maybe one day we can get

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 2>back together, get the game back together. At fin Con,

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 2>even if it's just for you know, literally you just

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 2>walk into the lobby and you have a party.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's like that's the thing, Linnette. You know,

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it just yeah, it just was like it just looked

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>like such a great time. And I was like, Mandy.

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Omo, well, you know, I am in my neuro divergent

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>era and not I don't know what to I'm not

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>really embracing any particular labels or whatnot. But I'm in

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>my era of like accepting the fact that I process

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>things really differently, and I gave myself so much grace.

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, go for a couple hours, leave, get your

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, recharge time. But even when you're there, it's

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>hard because everyone wants you to go here and there,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>and there's different events and they're like open bar and

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>free food and like all this stuff is happening. But

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yeah, I think I'm just gonna go

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>hang out with my dad at the Hawks game. People, ooh,

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>he picked me up in the Marta van. Don't tell

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>anybody my dad works for Marta.

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I love Old black Man. Old black Man. They don't

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>give a what.

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's a nice van. It had like all the chargers,

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>including the new USBC charger in the seat. It was

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>really nice. I was like, I need to get me

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>a mini van. Is that how you guys drive around?

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Just comfortable and spacious.

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I knew that black Man would do whatever.

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 3>When Darrell's fortieth birthday, there was an ambulance outside.

0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>That's, oh my god, everybody's okay.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 3>One of his homeboys girl lights on. I came to

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 3>get a plate. It was like, now, I'm a don't worry,

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 3>mister real, I'm gonna leave in a minute. I just

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 3>came to get place sy my homie.

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 4>What's that?

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, sir, I could just go out there

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and go stay.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what, you know what. It reminds me of his

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Regina King from How Stella Got Her grew back when

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>like Regina King her sister in that movie Angela bas

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 2>his sister. She's an emt or something, and I think

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 2>she does pull up in her her ambulance at a

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>cookout or something like that. I love us, I do.

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I got to go see the station you dropped me off. Yeah,

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 2>it was it was a great It was a great

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>little trip. And I literally just landed today. So gosh,

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I've been in a little in Leana bubble.

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, my anxiety around the election

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 2>was on one hundred. Being in Georgia, I know, I

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, I.

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Know, I'm not gonna lie. Why you know, I'm taking

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 3>November off because that is just real. I'm also gonna

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 3>take it off from social media. I said, I'm not

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>the laugh of luxury. Healthy almost took me out. I

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 3>was beating every article, every post, every in my heart

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 3>like literally my blood pressure was through the roof. And

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I said, I can stay informed without infecting myself with

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 3>bear and negativity. And I've already pre voted because I said,

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 3>you know what, I'm actually not also trusting people not

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 3>to act dumb and so think I said, pre voted,

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 3>but I voted early.

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy.

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 3>I got like my ballot thing in the mail and

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 3>it was like I never voted early before. Oh you know,

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 3>just like yeah, because honestly, it's never usually busy or

<v Speaker 3>It was like maybe like a twenty minute walk away,

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, it was beautiful right outside the park.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>And when I got there, I had seen a line earlier.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 3>When I got there, you know, there's always this, you know,

<v Speaker 1>I plan to be hunkered down with my uber eats.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And what's your plan? We all need a plan.

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I said, I'm not actually watching because I was

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 3>watching minute day by day. No, I am going to

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>have like a series of videos of movies I want

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 3>to watch and books I want to read, and I'm

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 3>just going to like try to like, you know, I'm

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>telling that all my folks.

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't don't call me with moment but like when

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>it's done, it's done.

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 3>But I don't want to Like I was watching moment

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 3>by moment alby my heart rate was just racing. I'm

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 3>not doing that this year. I can't take it.

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I do want to stay tuned for

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>is I hope they're going to do a live feet

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.079
<v Speaker 2>of Kamala's watch party because I hear it's going to

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>be at Howard. That's still the case. Yeah, so if

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 2>that happens. But I mean, the beauty of having kids.

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think what I have planned that day.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's just going to be a day. I'm

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>just going to try to like enjoy it. I do

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 2>think I'm going to take the boys when I pick

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>them up today and go vote early, you know, so

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>they can learn about civic duty and get a sticker.

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I want about that.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Can we just squeeze my babies. It's

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>been five days since I've.

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Squeezed my babies. I won't understand what's happening. Do they

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 1>understand election? They did? I talk about that in school.

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 2>No big natural disasters like weather is a big thing now.

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Like Rio's kind of understanding hurricanes and all that. He

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>was very sad and concerned for the people of Florida

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>and the Gulf Coast the election. He understands voting, I think,

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.959
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. If I asked him who the

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 2>president was, I don't know if he'd say Biden.

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Amelia had a meltdown the other day. I was like,

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>what's happening.

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 3>She was like, I'm like a full fledged meltdown. She's like,

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 3>we're like why are you? Why are you upset?

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>She's like, you know why? Like and I was just

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>like wait what? And so, so they're learning about voting

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in school.

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you know, and I remember that when you're like,

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, you voted, so that way you can learn,

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.599
<v Speaker 1>But of course they're not telling the kids who to

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:52.079
<v Speaker 1>vote for.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 3>But she said one of her friends told her about

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the bad man and we can all guess who that

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.719
<v Speaker 3>is and if he wins, all the bad things he's

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 3>going to do. So she was having like she's really

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 3>hyper sensitive to and so what do you even say?

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, wait what? And she was just like,

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you know why he can't win.

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh my god, I don't even know

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 3>what to say. I was just like, well, Mimi, you're

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>going to be able to vote when you get bigger,

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 3>and there's going to be so many other elections and

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 3>you know. But she was like almost inconsolable. I'm like,

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 3>what the hell does this friend say say to you?

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:27.599
<v Speaker 1>At first I thought, did you learn about it?

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 3>She's like No, I learned about voting in school, and

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 3>then you know, you vote for the president, you vote

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 3>for this person. But you know that her friend told

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 3>her that a very bad man that wants to be

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 3>the president, he's going to do very bad things. And

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 3>she was really scared about what those things. You know,

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 3>she couldn't tell you articulate the specific things, just bad.

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Everything is bad. And that's well.

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that is the appropriate emotional reaction we should

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 2>all be having. And I couldn't think of a better

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 2>synopsis of the stakes. It's a bad man who wants

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to do bad things, and if he wins, he's going

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to do bad things. Okay, Like no line is detected, Mimi,

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>buckle up.

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Up, darling, you're learning a good civic lesson today. Also,

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Mufasa dies.

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Roman's like what up?

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, oh my god, it's like in

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the election of eighteen ninety eight. But yeah, man, yeah,

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I just tell the children at all costs.

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 3>But are you worried about like, you know, any sort

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 3>of physical like any sort of like out you know

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 3>what I mean? Like I am worried about violence.

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about Coretta and Sylvia and Harold at the polls.

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about my neighbor Paulette, who's working the polls up.

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 2>And you'd be surprised that you get forty five minutes

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>north of Manhattan and it is quite concerned about here.

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Lots of Trump signs, especially where one of my girlfriends lives.

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my days by where Remy goes to daycare. Lots

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 2>of Drump and not just Trump yard signs, like yeah,

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought.

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Put up a literally he had his Trump signed up

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 3>since you know, he lost like in a window, and

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I guess I was like, oh, he finally took it down,

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 3>like it because Newark is very black. And then I

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 3>saw that he had flagpoles installed installed which chronically enough,

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 3>by a group of clearly migrant workers.

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I was I wanted to take a picture of me.

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean they were having their lunch on his front lawn,

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 3>clearly migrant workers. I mean, obviously he must have hired whoever,

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 3>and this is who they hired. I'm like, sir, and

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 3>they put up this truck. I was like, not a flagpole.

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't do you know what it takes to put

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 3>a flagpole, not like these little no, no, no digging.

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>The thing concrete.

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's flying his flag loud and proud in

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 3>one of the blackest neighborhoods in the country, and we're

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 3>just like, okay.

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, shout out to democracy in the First Amendment.

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>He can do that. But for me and my nervous

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I am, I'm really just turning to our community. I'm

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>turning to my bandy money maker community. I'm turning to

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I was on the I've been on the last few

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Win with Black Women calls on Sunday nights, and even

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 2>if I had it on kind of as I was

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>doing other things on my computer, and it's just comforting

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 2>because like, the more I can, it just feels like

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>there's other grown ups in the room and that there's

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>there's such a I mean, Barack Obama showed up on

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the Black Win with Black Men call last night that

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 2>was live streamed and in you know, Michelle Obama speech

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 2>this week, the Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Tina introducing her

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>in Houston. The fact that she went to Houston, that's

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the you know, I know that you're not I know

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>that it's not the greatest to only look at things

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that bring you joy in the news because obviously there

0:16:53.760 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 2>is a ton of chaos happening outside of you know,

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>the United States. But those are the moments that when

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I go to sleep, I try to run through those

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in my head, you know, and I just I pray

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 2>almost that we can just like get through it and

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 2>get some shit done, because what really is keeping me

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 2>up at night is like Sudan and Palestine. I'm about

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 2>to go into therapy tomorrow and be like, so, let's

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 2>review how I'm supposed to cope with these atrocities happening,

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and like, you know, we just need we need all

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>the humanity we can right now. The election is important,

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not It is not the only thing happening in

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>the world. It is one really important thing, but there's

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 2>also others. Life will go on, Santa will come, Mimi's

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 2>going to sing, you know, on November first. I just

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>let's get through it. Let's support one another, Let's do

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 2>what we can. Let's call our friends, call our family.

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>See if granny needs and ride to the poles, see

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 2>if uncle needs one. He just got his hip or

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>place to keep out of surgery, whatever, you know. See

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>in small ways what we can do to just make

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 2>sure that people show up and that every vote, every

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 2>single vote, counts, And I always keep remembering this, like

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 2>this refrain. I forget where I've heard it, probably just

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of different places at this point. But anxiety.

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a passenger in the car, but it's not allowed

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 2>to drive the car. You are driving the car. So

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 2>that also helps me when things feel very existential and scary.

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just yeah, it's a lot, and it's okay

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.879
<v Speaker 3>to opt out of the worst of it, and just

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 3>to do enough to stand for you are allowed to

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 3>do that. You don't actually actually have to roll around

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 3>on the muck of it. For those of you who

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 3>don't have the capacity, you know, there are ways to

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 3>stand form there. There are like you know, you can

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 3>read like you know, Wall Street Journal, New York Times,

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 3>things that are not quite a salacious just so you're informed,

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 3>but not like rolling around in the monk of it.

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 3>And also too sometimes you get even opt out of that.

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Believe me, there's enough people in your life that will say, hey,

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 3>this is what's happening, and this is what's going on.

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, you know, there's this collective. I was thinking

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 3>about this today that whenever I walk, especially in the fall,

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.199
<v Speaker 3>like I you know, there's always some leaf that catches

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 3>my eyes.

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I think myself, Oh my god, this live is so

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>freaking beautiful. It's like a frea.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Consumer star, you know, because they're like perfectly designed. And

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I think to myself, I might be the only person

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.199
<v Speaker 3>in the world that we'll all see this leaf. And

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 3>this leaf has decided to be beautiful anyway. And what

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 3>a lesson that, you know, we can shine whether we're

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 3>going to get seen or not. And then doctor Green

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:49.360
<v Speaker 3>reminded me that, like you're shining and it's critically important

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 3>because you are part.

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Of a collective.

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 3>Imagine if all the leaves were like, well, I'm not

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 3>going to be seen. I'm not going to change this

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 3>beautiful color in the northeast. But think about the collective

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 3>like cocophony of like what the leaves look like when

0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 3>they've all changed colors. That we are all individually so

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 3>important and connected. And I know we like to think

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 3>of them over there and these people were there and

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 3>that no, no, no, no, Like there is a collective

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 3>consciousness that we all are part.

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Of, and to harm one is to harm all.

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.919
<v Speaker 3>Think about how we collectively felt when COVID happened. I

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 3>didn't know anybody in Paris, but I felt them because

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I was feeling the same thing.

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>We all had to set down somewhere.

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, think about how we collectively felt when you know,

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 3>those planes hit on nine to eleven. There was this

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.159
<v Speaker 3>collective consciousness that here in the United States, we were like,

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 3>what the hell that we collectively felt? And so we

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 3>just be best to remember that, like you can't do

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 3>harm to one without harming yourself. You know that there

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 3>is a collective consciousness. And I don't know that we'll

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 3>ever get to a place where we remember that, like

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 3>we're part of a whole, and each leaf is important,

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 3>whether it gets to be a superstar or not, that

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:57.160
<v Speaker 3>is collective.

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>It's collectively important. So I just think about that a lot,

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I wonder iful I ever get to a place

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 1>of civility where we're not like, you know, like it's

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like me against you and somebody gotta lose, you know.

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I think that's no. I do feel like there are

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:15.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who do feel that way, but

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 2>they're not often on cable news. And I think if

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you put down the phone like you said you're doing,

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and like not not tune in and not be immersed

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>in the in the entertainment, the spectacle of it all.

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I think just regular people down at the pole Sylvia

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 2>being like, just vote, glad you're here. You know, here's

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a munch can enjoy. It's a little stale be here's

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>since four am, but here's a munchkin. You know, have

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a good day. But yeah, I pray. I'm praying for

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the poll workers, and I hope that there's no shenanigans

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.679
<v Speaker 2>because they're just good people volunteering or getting paid peanuts,

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, to be there. NBA fan, will we talk

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 2>to them again before that? I don't know if we'll

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 2>talk to you all again before the election.

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>This is it.

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll see y'all next Wednesday. On the other side.

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>You on the other side.

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's talk about something that cheers us up. All right, Okay,

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:16.879
<v Speaker 2>you brought the leaf thing? Anything else?

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Not the leaf thing?

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:23.880
<v Speaker 3>We talked about last time? We talked about their house warming,

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 3>because that was such a beautiful warming.

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Did we talk about it? Because did I just talked

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to you about it?

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember. Didn't we record last week? I do

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 2>not recall.

0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, you know what we had?

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:36.919
<v Speaker 2>NFL star Brandon Copeland.

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right.

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I want to say that I had a housewarming

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 3>and Mandy and her amazing husband came.

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 1>It was so great to see them both out and

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>be out.

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 3>I thought about Rigi today because I was like, oh,

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 3>I need to buy a new dishwasher.

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:54.159
<v Speaker 1>You know who I should ask me because you know

0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:54.760
<v Speaker 1>he is like.

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Yo. I remember last time he was like my best

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 3>buddy because we were both buying appliance at the same time,

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 3>like your household of my, and I'd be like, you're like, well,

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 3>and you can read a book about im, like put

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 3>them on the phone. So and I have to say

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 3>all of the choices that he hate me help me

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 3>make with my appliances. I mean it's been what six

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 3>years now, I mean a plus plus and not not

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 3>an issue. So I'm like Evka, So I might just

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:20.359
<v Speaker 3>buy the same diswatch for I bought last time that

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 3>he suggested. But the houseworm was so great because I

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't understand until well, I'll say this that I although

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought my condo was great, it felt like a

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.880
<v Speaker 3>beautiful hotel. And I told doctor Greene, like, it doesn't

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 3>feel like home. I'm not really sure what to do.

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, when I go back to my househouse,

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 3>that kind of feels like home, but not as much

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 3>as it used to. And I kind of feel like

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 3>shiftless in the middle. And she said, well, it doesn't

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 3>feel like home because you haven't built memories there and

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, your your house in you know, around the corner.

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 3>It feels like home because you built all these amazing memories.

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 3>You just have to consciously build memories at the condo.

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 3>And I said, okay, And so the housewarming, I'm so

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.399
<v Speaker 3>glad I did decided to have it at the condo

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 3>because it was my birthday. You know, it's literally my

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 3>birthday party slash housewarming because the amount of love and

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 3>it was just like everyone all my folks. I mean,

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 3>I've been forty was the last time I think when

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.360
<v Speaker 3>I cut off the last negative person in my life

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 3>who had direct access. But I am just surrounded by

0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:25.160
<v Speaker 3>the most amazing people. I mean, Terrell Jirell's twin was there,

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.119
<v Speaker 3>my boyfriend was there, and a boyfriend.

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Nanny was like when I said, this is my boyfriend

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>rooting for you.

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Nandy and her husband was there, my sister's, my niece,

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 3>my nephew. But it was just such an amazing, like

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 3>twenty five plus people, delicious food from our fave Nisha,

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 3>and the next day. I never understood why people called

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 3>it a housewarming until I woke up the next day

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 3>and the house felt different.

0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>It was warmed with love. Honestly, I was like, oh,

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>this is why it went from this beautiful kind of

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>cold place, not literally cold, but you know, a mostly

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 1>cold place to like, it felt so beautifully warm in here,

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and you guys left so much love behind, and I

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:15.239
<v Speaker 1>just was so grateful for that.

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.160
<v Speaker 3>I just was like, all right, I'm gonna be intentional

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 3>with having other warming activities here, and so I'm just

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:22.360
<v Speaker 3>really grateful for that.

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I mean it's blank canvas. I think for

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 2>any new homeowner or like moving into a new space,

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>especially when it is that immaculate and designed within an

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 2>inch of its life for beauty and aliens, I feel

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 2>the same way. I want to like rough it around

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 2>the edges a little bit. I mean, not your place,

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 2>because it's very nice, but you know, get little Yeah,

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I like the idea, but just having the kids run around,

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.880
<v Speaker 2>make some art, add their art to the art walls. Yeah,

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 2>you have all your great beautiful art, but like you know,

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>get some pictures from the party being punted up, but yeah,

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was a beautiful, beautiful full time. And

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I got to play another date night for Husbie because

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 2>he's been here with alone with these children. Not alone

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 2>because he always imports his parents from the heights, because

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, you can do this, but he's just whatever,

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>he needs his chaperons. But yeah, he's been here with

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the kiddos. And I'm probably gonna have to convince the

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>boys that I'm still cool and that they love me

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot, because one thing about these boys is they

0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 2>do love their dad, and I love it for them.

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But when I'm gone, like it makes it so much

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 2>harder because I feel like I gotta Frio is a

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 2>little easier. Remy Rue, Oh my baby, that baby loves his.

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Daddy too much.

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>It's like, where's my little school wish? But we're doing

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 2>our oh so one thing bringing me joey is we're

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:50.400
<v Speaker 2>doing our Halloween block party this week and I took

0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 2>charge over it because it can got it can get

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 2>a little political in our neighborhood between the the the

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>elders and the young'uns and myself being on the young

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>inside and like it can get a little Yeah, there's

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot there's it can be a little political and

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a little dramatic. And I just told the girls this year,

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, listen, I got this. Type B mom

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 2>is who I am, and type B mom is going

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 2>to save the day. Like, don't worry about nothing. So

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>we're having a party. Kids are gonna come, Candy will

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 2>be consumed, laughter will be had, houses will be bounced in.

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be I love a good old time.

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 2>So we'll just focus on those happy.

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 3>What about a little bit of like business shade. So

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 3>are you familiar with Darius Cooks?

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Wait?

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 1>No, okay, so I know you're familiar food with Tabitha Brown.

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, of course.

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 3>We didn't talk about this because I was like, we

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 3>usually don't like dabble in the shades. But so Darius

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Cooks is like I would say, he's a food influencer.

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 3>He's also like a cook. He's had some restaurants, but

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 3>he's always in some mess. You know, some people actually

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 3>relish in the mess of it all. He loves to

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 3>talk badly about people.

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 2>He's on the wrapping chef is because that's my favorite.

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.719
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not even close. So anyway,

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.119
<v Speaker 3>we all know Auntie Tab. I don't like to call

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 3>her Aunti Tab because we the same age, so we

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 3>all know Tab cousin Tab. And so he did this

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 3>video saying that he believed that her Target deal was

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 3>was unwise.

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear about this?

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh lord?

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And so he was like, this is a really unwise

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 3>deal and that she could have made way more money

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:37.919
<v Speaker 3>if she created her own line of things. And some

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:39.479
<v Speaker 3>of the numbers he was spitting out of was like,

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 3>are these just just made up numbers?

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>He was saying it was really crazy.

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it's one thing to kind of like

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 3>talk about business and kind of this esoteric sense, but

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 3>he was calling her like a fool. She's a fool,

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 3>he just kept saying, over and over. He basically was like,

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 3>here's the thing about his numbers. He said, So, let's

0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 3>just say cousin Tab made ten million dollars from this

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>target deal where she put her face on certain things

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 3>or whatever.

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>He said.

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 3>If she created like a potline for herself, let's just

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 3>say pots, because that's what he does, and she sold

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 3>them for like forty bucks a pot or whatever with

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 3>her However, many three four million followers. If two three

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 3>million of them bought the pots, she would make one

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty million dollars some crazy number. And I

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 3>was like, now here's the thing, Darius is. He might

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 3>be done, but he's not stupid. He's in business man

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 3>to me, it like, and there were people in the

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 3>audits that're like, oh, that is so true. That's so true.

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 3>One that's actually not how business works. You don't make gross,

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 3>you make net. So even if she were to sell

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 3>a pot on social media for forty dollars, it's like

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 3>there would be distribution, they would be housing of that pot,

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 3>there would.

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Be she'd be marketing and herself girl.

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Creating the pot on top of the ten thousand other

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 3>things that cousins have does, and then you'd have to

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 3>pay for the warehouse and all the other things.

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>So that forty dollars dollars or whatever you'd make poor pot.

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Might go down to five dollars and then the stress

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:09.000
<v Speaker 3>of running that business. Also, the assumption that you have

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 3>four million followers and two million will buy a pot.

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy because the conversion rate of social media on

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 3>the high end, you're looking at about two or three percent.

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 3>If you're lucky actually purchasing a product. Typically you have

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 3>two or three percent. The larger the audience actually just

0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 3>engage with your with your content, you know, so to

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 3>even say that like no one, no one closes as

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 3>a third of the people following them purchasing something, unless

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 3>you only have one hundred people following you. The larger

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 3>the audience, the less likely that people are going to engage.

0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 3>And then you get so let's just say three percent

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 3>of people engage with her content, and then three percent

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 3>of the people who engage actually buy. And so all

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 3>of that trouble versus like you know, working with a

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 3>target that's going to do the heavy lift and pay

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 3>you as someone who has done both, you know, like

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I have sold books separately, you know, like an independently

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 3>or like it gets to keep more money. And then

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 3>I've sold books traditionally where Penguin, my publishing house, takes

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 3>on the heavy lift of printing the books, shipping the books,

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 3>distributing the books, all that kind of stuff. And I'm

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 3>here to say there's no necessary right or wrong. But

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 3>everyone doesn't want to do all the things of solf.

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they just want to sit back and be like,

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 3>give me a cute little check, so I just thought like, yeah,

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 3>it just it really bothered me to see. I mean,

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:26.480
<v Speaker 3>I know he's only doing it because he wants his

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 3>name out there.

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's like giving creepy old guy at the gym

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 2>telling you, yeah, giving you advice you didn't ask for

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 2>when like trying to give some own biles tips, yeah,

0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 2>because he don't recognize her. Or there was that one

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that viral video of like the pro golfer the woman

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 2>golfer who went to like one of those you know,

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 2>the things where people can golf, regulars regulars can golf,

0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and a guy came over and tried to give her

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 2>advice and she's like, I don't know, some kind of

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 2>like crazy world iman or something. Yeah, that's what it's giving.

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like you can also sit down, Darius.

0:31:57.720 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean it's embarrassing for him. We're giving oxygen

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 2>to his name, which I guess is what he wanted.

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 2>But let me just say Tab tab tab tab time

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 2>tab target.

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean cap speaking tab.

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 3>She's she's been in like movies now, TV shows, and

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 3>you know she's not just out here tap.

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, cousin Tab has a whole team.

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I just thought it was just important to be like here,

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 3>people are going to have opinions always and oftentimes they

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 3>don't have access to what you are capable of doing.

0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 2>And like, who showed him the contract?

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean nobody did nobody? Did you know? And so

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:35.720
<v Speaker 1>all that you're.

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Guessing that she's making, you don't know she makes front

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 3>end and back end, you.

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Know, all that you're guessing that she's making.

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 3>I just thought that, like, you know, it bears to

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 3>be said that, like child, it's okay to sit down

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 3>and mind your business, you know, but I get it.

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>His business is to be salacious.

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Because it doesn't he just cook well, you would think.

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 3>But the truth matter is I think when things get quiet,

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:00.920
<v Speaker 3>he likes to do things like this will talk about him.

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>But I think he thought.

0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he realized how many people would be

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:09.719
<v Speaker 3>angry on her behalf because normally his audience is very loyal,

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 3>even when he does shenanigans.

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>But they said this is where.

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 3>We draw the line a cousin tab and so I

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 3>just thought that was like and I was like, okay,

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, you got the attention that you were looking for,

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 3>but even bigger, just for those of you who have

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:24.360

0:35:57.600 --> 0:35:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a little meet up while I was in Atlanta of

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Mandy Money Make and then couple of Yeah. It was

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 2>really cute and also just brand ambition fans. There was

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 2>like one who's like, can I come? And I was

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 2>like yeah, And so this woman called Stacy she came.

0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 2>And Stacy had just founded this organization called Shift Her,

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:18.839
<v Speaker 2>which focuses on Black women's reproductive health and especially on

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:24.400
<v Speaker 2>perry menopause and menopause and the postmenopause. And she just

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 2>launched this, I think last February, but she's already had

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 2>an event with this renowned obg yn called Jessica Shepherd.

0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:36.040
<v Speaker 2>And Jessica Shepherd she just became the chief medical officer

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 2>for Hers or Hymns. You don't that brand? What is

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 2>it called Hers? It's like in Target. Yeah, she's a

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 2>chief medical officer at Hers. So anyway, Jessica had just

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:52.279
<v Speaker 2>written a book called Generation M and I started to

0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 2>read it because Stacy so kindly informed me that even

0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 2>though I'm in my late dirties, perry menopause starts earlier

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 2>and women color because we get everything everything great and

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>good for us only. And I'm already I mean, I'm

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 2>not I'm not fully I'm not going to say I'm

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:12.239
<v Speaker 2>in perimenopause. I have not talked to a gynecologist since

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I pushed out my child and got the checkup. Yeah. So,

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 2>but I'm like concerned because my mom started a menopause

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 2>in her early to mid forties. And you can never

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:27.360
<v Speaker 2>be I think, too aware or too prepared. So the

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 2>book is called Generation M Living Well in Perimenopause and Menopause.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 2>So check it out, read it.

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, there's that.

0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:41.800
<v Speaker 3>There's that documentary that's making the rounds. There's a former anchor.

0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I forget her name.

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to say wrong, she's got like I

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 3>want to say, uh solanad No. I feel like she's

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Middle Eastern something with the tee tap. But it's like

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 3>it's like really making the rounds. Like, let me see

0:38:09.040 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 3>she Yeah, so she she's been having like honestly, like

<v Speaker 3>her channel has been such a great channel.

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>M factor. Oh, Tamsen Fadal, yes, is that her?

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So she used to be an news anchor. And

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 3>then she's like, all these things were happening, no one

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 3>was gonna explain what it was. Turns out it was

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 3>perrymnopause and menopause. And she's like, and you know who's

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:32.440
<v Speaker 3>doing a lot of talks about it now?

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:36.880
<v Speaker 2>To Halle Berry, Oh great, like yeah, yeah, you know

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 2>we've seen Oprah and Gail and all that. I love.

0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:45.399
<v Speaker 2>I love that we're talking about it more about the end.

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm I don't know, I'm curious to hear what your

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.439
<v Speaker 2>experience has been to But the whole Perry of it all,

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Tad is one of the people that it is like,

0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:58.279
<v Speaker 2>she's real, She's so real about it, and it just

0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of it just takes the oxygen out of that

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 2>idea that it's like something to be ashamed about or

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 2>something to be hidden. It's natural. But if we just

0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 2>we destigmatize it and we talk about it and older

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 2>generations talk to younger generations mothers to daughters, aunties to

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:18.240
<v Speaker 2>nieces and help us, maybe we won't have to suffer

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 2>as much in silence like, well.

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:23.839
<v Speaker 3>I'll say that so far it's probably I mean now

0:39:23.840 --> 0:39:25.319
<v Speaker 3>that I think about, like I used to be so

0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 3>good at sleeping at night, and then I wasn't.

0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:30.440
<v Speaker 1>So it could have been that, you know, like they soud,

0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I know, you know it's so crazy because I was

0:39:32.480 --> 0:39:34.760
<v Speaker 1>asleep on me. Just give me a pillow.

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't even need a bit of a pillow and

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 3>a flat surface. But then I even now I have

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 3>a hard time staying asleep. I will say, like my

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 3>psycho is is still really regular. That's why I had

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:48.320
<v Speaker 3>not thought about it. I always just associated metopause you

0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 3>don't get your period, and I was like, well I'm

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 3>still getting it, so.

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:53.719
<v Speaker 1>But even still things like.

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't know if I send it to I

0:39:56.120 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 3>need to because sorry, you know men listening, not sorry

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:01.400
<v Speaker 3>you god daughters.

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Is you man to a woman that.

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Even the color of your period will kind of indicate

0:40:06.880 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 3>what's happening. So for example, they were like, if you women,

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 3>who will know this, if you kind of get that

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 3>brick red brownish pre post period, which I was getting,

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 3>that sometimes shows that you have low progesterone. That's why

0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't able to have a baby. But I was

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:22.799
<v Speaker 3>getting that. I wish I would have known early. Like,

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 3>if you're getting that in your mid and early thirties,

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:26.880
<v Speaker 3>you might really want to lean in with your doctor

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:29.640
<v Speaker 3>and say, oh ho, you know, like ideally your period

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:31.680
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be kind of like bright red, and this

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:34.439
<v Speaker 3>means that, like you know, you're there are certain things

0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 3>that different colors of your period means. And I just

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.880
<v Speaker 3>was like whoa, and I had not known that, and

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 3>so yeah, so but as you know, the older I get,

0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:44.319
<v Speaker 3>the more that color shows up, which you know, which

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.400
<v Speaker 3>is natural because the older you get, the lower your

0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 3>progesterone levels, the less likely you are to have to

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:53.880
<v Speaker 3>be able to get pregnant. But yeah, but even now,

0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:57.879
<v Speaker 3>like I mean, I was at my gotecologist the other

0:40:57.920 --> 0:41:00.719
<v Speaker 3>day and she said, like, be care careful, you know,

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:03.120
<v Speaker 3>because you, I know, you think you can't get pregnant, Tiffany.

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.360
<v Speaker 1>But like sometimes she said.

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Girl, women, be like that last bit of boom boom

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:11.360
<v Speaker 3>on your way out, she said, because your body's like

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:12.839
<v Speaker 3>hold on, we're about to talk. Were about to close

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:14.600
<v Speaker 3>up shop. Let me let me sell some of these

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 3>last goods in here, she said. The oldest woman that

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.319
<v Speaker 3>she ever delivered a baby for fifty two and she said.

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.839
<v Speaker 3>The lady was like, is this real? So she said,

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 3>she said, you're still getting your cycle. And although it's

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:28.319
<v Speaker 3>not as likely, sometimes women actually will ramp up their

0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 3>fertility right as they're about to head on out, you know.

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:33.920
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, because you know, up until now,

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, I can't you know, it is

0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:35.520
<v Speaker 1>what it is.

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.319
<v Speaker 3>And she said, you know, I don't know where you

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 3>are as far as wanting to give birth, but just

0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:43.280
<v Speaker 3>be mindful that you know, it's not off the table,

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:44.520
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 1>And it just was just like okay, So.

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean other than that, I don't know, Like

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:55.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't the truth in matter is I might be

0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:58.239
<v Speaker 3>experiencing penny perimenopause sensens and I just don't know that's

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.160
<v Speaker 3>what it was. I just was like, I'm stressed, I'm

0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 3>not sleeping, not realizing that that might be a symptom because.

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, my cycle is regular. I'm like, that's

0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>not the only symptom.

0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what we need to know about the sleeping

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:14.480
<v Speaker 2>thing and the itchy ears and yeah, yeah there's tons.

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's a good place to start. So the documentary.

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I just looked it up on PBS for anyone who's interested.

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:23.040
<v Speaker 2>It's called The M Factor, Shutting the Silence on Menopause.

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.359
<v Speaker 2>And then doctor Shepherd's book is called The M or

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Generation M Living Well at the Time of Perry Perrymenopause

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 2>and Menopause. So let's educate ourselves, yes, because she's coming for.

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:41.839
<v Speaker 3>Us all if you're blessed enough to be here's long well,

0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna do just a quick booth. I had always

0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:48.120
<v Speaker 3>mentioned that twenty twenty three was like kind of a

0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 3>hard dear business. I was like down forty percent in

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 3>my most profitable business, which is the literature Academy, and

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:56.360
<v Speaker 3>the budget needs to just broke even.

0:42:56.560 --> 0:43:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, like NET, maybe we just paid our bills.

0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:05.240
<v Speaker 1>So this year was much better.

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:07.319
<v Speaker 3>Still, you know, not kaboom, but you know we were

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 3>We were better than NET and we had strong profits

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 3>and so but what the what the down year taught

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:20.239
<v Speaker 3>me was it was time for me to get additional

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:23.720
<v Speaker 3>leadership help. So I've got leaders leaders on my team.

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 3>But I realized that more and more what I'm really

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:27.919
<v Speaker 3>good at and what I'm not good at, and I'm

0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:31.319
<v Speaker 3>not good at strategy I'm really good at networking. You

0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:32.480
<v Speaker 3>put me in a room, I'm gonna come back with

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 3>a contract, you know, you put me out you know,

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:35.760
<v Speaker 3>put me out there coach.

0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm gonna like, I am really good at bringing

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.080
<v Speaker 1>money to the table.

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 3>But I really have a hard time. I mean, I'm

0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:43.920
<v Speaker 3>a good enough leader in that, you know, like I

0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:46.000
<v Speaker 3>build really great community and.

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:47.880
<v Speaker 1>On team, great culture.

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:51.920
<v Speaker 3>People feel like they have autonomy all that stuff, But

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 3>if you were to ask me day to day, I

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.360
<v Speaker 3>have a hard time wrapping my mind around creating structure.

0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:01.279
<v Speaker 1>And so I decided that I was gonna get a

0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:02.360
<v Speaker 1>co CEO.

0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 3>So I could just do the parts that I'm really

0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 3>good at and then someone else who is very structured

0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.359
<v Speaker 3>can do that. And so I had this business coach

0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:13.919
<v Speaker 3>that I had for the last five or six years.

0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:16.439
<v Speaker 1>His name is de Besh, and.

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't I had been looking Zion something.

0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, well Zion was the coach. So they co coached.

0:44:23.960 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 3>They had a team of coaches. Yeah, some Zions who

0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:29.239
<v Speaker 3>I met originally, But Devest was one of his co

0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:32.200
<v Speaker 3>coaches and he's the one that, like the team really

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:33.719
<v Speaker 3>clicked with the most during that time period.

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And then he continued to coach me afterward, Okay, gotcha, okay.

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 3>And so so yeah, I know him for a while,

0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:42.200
<v Speaker 3>but I was like, Zion's not gonna want to co CEO.

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:43.840
<v Speaker 3>And my friend's like, well, why don't you ask? You

0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:46.160
<v Speaker 3>never know because he I'm not the only CEO he

0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 3>was coaching. He's a CEO coach, so he had a

0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:49.759
<v Speaker 3>bunch of clients. I'm like, yeah, but he has a

0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:52.279
<v Speaker 3>whole business. Girl, he's busy, and she's like, just ask

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:54.279
<v Speaker 3>because I had been looking and it had not been

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 3>going well. And you know, I already knew how great

0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:00.520
<v Speaker 3>he was. And he's kind all the thing, but also

0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 3>very structured without feeling like oppressive and overwhelming.

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:05.319
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, this is gonna sound crazy, but

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for co CEO. I know you're busy with

0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 1>your own business. And he said, actually, it's not crazy.

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe Zion has either two or three kids. He's married,

0:45:14.480 --> 0:45:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, honestly, his kids are not like big kids,

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're young.

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:23.479
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I'm wanting to kind of just settle down

0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:26.440
<v Speaker 3>basically because of CEO. Because Zion will fly out and

0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 3>go to a meeting with you. That's what kind of

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:29.919
<v Speaker 3>coach he is, Like, I had a big old meeting

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:32.080
<v Speaker 3>in the city. He flew from he and lives in Canada.

0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 3>He flew from Canada to meet me, to have the

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:37.239
<v Speaker 3>meeting with me. So you could just have to imagine,

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, how not to put your business out there.

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Zion not Zorion, sorry the best, but you can imagine

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:44.719
<v Speaker 3>how when you have young kids. You know, it's a

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:46.279
<v Speaker 3>lot because I'm not, like I said, I'm not his

0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:48.799
<v Speaker 3>only client, and he was like, I'd be lying if

0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:50.640
<v Speaker 3>I didn't say. I thought to myself, if I was

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 3>ever gonna be the ceover company, it would.

0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Be the budgeties STA because I love the energy, the

0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:59.160
<v Speaker 1>intention and the integrity with which you run that business.

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, since I've been here for like six years

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:03.520
<v Speaker 1>just watching and seeing how the team navigates, and so

0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:07.759
<v Speaker 1>we have been testing it out. You know, I know.

0:46:07.920 --> 0:46:11.040
<v Speaker 2>How's it going and why specifically co CEO and not

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:15.680
<v Speaker 2>like COO or chief strategy officer or something like that.

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious.

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Because I really wanted eventually, I want to like literally

0:46:21.560 --> 0:46:24.360
<v Speaker 3>do none of the strategy stuff, like because as a CEO,

0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:26.600
<v Speaker 3>there are parts that I still have to be responsible

0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 3>for and ideally, you know, maybe one day I won't

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:32.640
<v Speaker 3>even be CEO. I don't know, And so this is

0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:36.279
<v Speaker 3>like a gentle like can you come in and run

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 3>the back end of the business. Like we just had

0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:39.840
<v Speaker 3>like such an amazing call our team. We have a

0:46:39.840 --> 0:46:40.640
<v Speaker 3>team call every.

0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Monday, and all the ideas.

0:46:43.160 --> 0:46:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Like I'm the type. We have all these ideas floating

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:46.759
<v Speaker 3>in the air. We talked through them, but we didn't

0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 3>have some sort of document. He created this amazing document

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:53.560
<v Speaker 3>where we could see like what the next what the

0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:56.480
<v Speaker 3>the end of the year looks like? Like who's responsible

0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:58.399
<v Speaker 3>for what we went through? When do you think you'll

0:46:58.440 --> 0:47:00.759
<v Speaker 3>have this done? Because usually we walk through these things,

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 3>but there's no visual and now everyone kind of got

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 3>to share what they felt. They're like, I love the

0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 3>fact that I don't feel like I'm working in a silo.

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 3>I know what everyone's working on, but I also know

0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 3>what my responsibilities are. I was not able to provide

0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:14.640
<v Speaker 3>that although we talked through it. I knewhere everything was

0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:17.000
<v Speaker 3>in my head, but I didn't know how to create

0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:20.560
<v Speaker 3>the systems. If you will, you know, And so right

0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.400
<v Speaker 3>now there are one of the goals for one of

0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:27.040
<v Speaker 3>the responsibilities for a CEO obviously is to make sure

0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 3>that all things back end are working and create systems

0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 3>and but also part of the role of the CEO

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:36.560
<v Speaker 3>is what I'm really good at is bringing money to

0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:38.920
<v Speaker 3>the table. And so that's why I said co CEO

0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:42.120
<v Speaker 3>because I really want to split my responsibilities in half.

0:47:42.280 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Like, let me go out.

0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:45.879
<v Speaker 3>If you give me the freedom, I will bring back

0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:49.640
<v Speaker 3>so much money to the table. I speak on a conference,

0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 3>a panel or whatever. People say, I want to work

0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:52.959
<v Speaker 3>with you, we work it out, then I can drop

0:47:52.960 --> 0:47:56.880
<v Speaker 3>it off with the team and then the best you create,

0:47:57.840 --> 0:48:00.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, a plan to navigate and work through what

0:48:00.560 --> 0:48:02.359
<v Speaker 3>does it actually look like the delivery of the thing

0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:04.480
<v Speaker 3>that I just you know, I helped to pull in.

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:06.799
<v Speaker 3>And so that's why I said co CEO because it

0:48:06.880 --> 0:48:09.200
<v Speaker 3>really is there are multiple roles of the CEO, and

0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I want to split them in half and just focus

0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:14.640
<v Speaker 3>on the things that I'm really good at. Yeah, and

0:48:14.680 --> 0:48:16.600
<v Speaker 3>so I'm looking forward to it. So you know, I'm

0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:20.040
<v Speaker 3>taking November off. So he's been here about a month.

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:22.040
<v Speaker 3>He was already working with me anyway, but been here

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:24.719
<v Speaker 3>with the team for about a month. And now he's

0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:26.239
<v Speaker 3>going to be able to work with them this month

0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:29.000
<v Speaker 3>without me being here, you know, December, we have half

0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:31.080
<v Speaker 3>the month. At the end of January, we get to

0:48:31.160 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 3>all vote, or my vote counts equally as everyone else anonymously, Like,

0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:38.360
<v Speaker 3>because I made the mistake of promoting someone to CEO

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:41.120
<v Speaker 3>and then the team being like, who said that, Who's

0:48:41.239 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't I don't want that.

0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, wait what, So I had to.

0:48:45.040 --> 0:48:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I didn't want to make that same mistake again,

0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 3>So I said, you know, I you know, I could

0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 3>tell they're nervous, but I think they realized now, oh,

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:54.000
<v Speaker 3>it really is co Tiffany is still here. She's just

0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 3>doing her tifany stuff, but she's really good at and

0:48:57.360 --> 0:48:59.640
<v Speaker 3>so also too, I let them know. If the vote

0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:02.839
<v Speaker 3>says then it's no girl, we will figure out something else.

0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:05.240
<v Speaker 2>So they're going to vote on whether or not Divush

0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:07.760
<v Speaker 2>is going to be he knows, he's well aware.

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:10.640
<v Speaker 3>So they will vote, and but I want them to vote,

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:12.480
<v Speaker 3>and whether it's yes or no, I want them to

0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:16.879
<v Speaker 3>share why, because either way we want to get feedback like, yeah,

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:18.560
<v Speaker 3>you were really great, but you didn't communicate as well

0:49:18.600 --> 0:49:19.799
<v Speaker 3>about this or whatever that is.

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 2>And so isn't pretty unusual to let like staff vote

0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:28.080
<v Speaker 2>on the seat. Absolutely, it's like a board on the

0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:29.760
<v Speaker 2>high mountain top.

0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Is but we never navigated that way because here's the thing.

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:37.439
<v Speaker 3>In the end, unhappy people work unhappily, and I don't

0:49:37.480 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 3>want that to like, I want that like you know

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.320
<v Speaker 3>that we're all on board. I've always I always operate

0:49:43.360 --> 0:49:46.040
<v Speaker 3>the company from a place of transparency. Everyone sees the numbers,

0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:49.480
<v Speaker 3>everyone sees our income, everyone sees our and because then

0:49:49.600 --> 0:49:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to, then people can work with integrity

0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:55.919
<v Speaker 3>because they know that I do. And I want people

0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:57.840
<v Speaker 3>to know that I actually do care what you think.

0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:00.719
<v Speaker 3>If y'all hate him, then and I want to know

0:50:00.920 --> 0:50:04.399
<v Speaker 3>because imagine me going out there and then people don't

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:06.399
<v Speaker 3>really fully do their work if they're like, oh, here

0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.759
<v Speaker 3>he go telling me what to do. I'm not going

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:10.440
<v Speaker 3>to be physically here, So why would I leave you

0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:12.880
<v Speaker 3>with somebody that you don't know like and trust and

0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:14.640
<v Speaker 3>so like, yes, you usually don't, but I don't care

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:17.319
<v Speaker 3>about what people normally do over here at the Budgetista.

0:50:17.440 --> 0:50:19.319
<v Speaker 1>It is really important to me to know how the team.

0:50:19.320 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Whether you're in customer support, hyper part time contract worker,

0:50:23.280 --> 0:50:26.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, or you are like lead of you know,

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:29.320
<v Speaker 3>all things community here at the Budgetista, everyone's vote counts,

0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 3>and I want to know how you feel and that

0:50:31.640 --> 0:50:33.239
<v Speaker 3>you get to do it anonymously so you don't have

0:50:33.239 --> 0:50:35.560
<v Speaker 3>to worry. And then we get to share our feedback

0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:38.600
<v Speaker 3>with him. And if the answer is yes, great, and

0:50:38.640 --> 0:50:40.120
<v Speaker 3>it's not that we keep looking.

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes. But I'm excited about it. I mean so far,

0:50:43.520 --> 0:50:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's not you know, I'm checking in with

0:50:45.680 --> 0:50:47.319
<v Speaker 1>everyone like, how do you really feel? What about this?

0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:49.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, is there anything he could be doing better?

0:50:50.160 --> 0:50:52.600
<v Speaker 3>And he's really open to that feedback too, because he said, Tiffany,

0:50:52.600 --> 0:50:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to work anywhere where people don't want

0:50:54.239 --> 0:50:56.640
<v Speaker 3>me here, so you know, I don't want to be

0:50:56.640 --> 0:50:59.279
<v Speaker 3>forced on anyone, which made me feel really good.

0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:01.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I feel really good about it.

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like the direction that the business is going

0:51:03.280 --> 0:51:06.320
<v Speaker 3>in it's exactly what I'm wanting for myself as Tiffany,

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:09.600
<v Speaker 3>not myself as the Budgetista, which is, I want to

0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:12.080
<v Speaker 3>have a business where I get to show up fully

0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:15.120
<v Speaker 3>in the ways that I enjoy, but not stand in

0:51:15.160 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 3>the way for the things that need to be done.

0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:20.239
<v Speaker 3>And so if I can have someone do those things

0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:22.480
<v Speaker 3>and then I can do the parts that I enjoy.

0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Then I feel like we're rocking and rolling.

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to hear what happened.

0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I know of this end of January, that's when we

0:51:30.320 --> 0:51:31.080
<v Speaker 1>get to vote, like.

0:51:32.040 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 2>And you know, it's not like there's been First of all,

0:51:34.040 --> 0:51:35.920
<v Speaker 2>they were aware of him before, and then now you're

0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:37.200
<v Speaker 2>having the transition period.

0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's great.

0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, there's no way to come out

0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:44.520
<v Speaker 2>on the other side and for someone to say, you know,

0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:47.440
<v Speaker 2>this was a raster decision and it's going to be

0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.680
<v Speaker 2>really really well thought through, and I think that kind

0:51:49.719 --> 0:51:54.960
<v Speaker 2>of transparency is so necessary. And yeah, I'm excited. I'm

0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:55.600
<v Speaker 2>excited for.

0:51:55.560 --> 0:51:55.880
<v Speaker 3>You and.

0:51:57.520 --> 0:52:01.040
<v Speaker 2>For the Unicorn squad. Yeah, reminds me of one of

0:52:01.040 --> 0:52:02.960
<v Speaker 2>my I only went to a couple talks at Finncom,

0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:05.320
<v Speaker 2>but you know, our buddy just spreed from minority mindset.

0:52:05.840 --> 0:52:08.279
<v Speaker 1>No he wasn't there, Oh yeah, he was there. Think

0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I love him.

0:52:09.880 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I think he's spoken a few times at finn Con,

0:52:12.120 --> 0:52:15.359
<v Speaker 2>but this year I got to see him. He's so cool.

0:52:15.440 --> 0:52:16.480
<v Speaker 2>His style, I don't know.

0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:18.239
<v Speaker 1>I know he's just a fly ist.

0:52:18.600 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I love just free. If we haven't done a Holibag

0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:25.279
<v Speaker 2>episode to his his interview, we should but he had

0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:28.319
<v Speaker 2>such a good talk on his you know, the fit.

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:31.200
<v Speaker 2>He's like how to fail and how he's failed trying

0:52:31.239 --> 0:52:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to you know, move from a personal a personality based

0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:39.120
<v Speaker 2>business to a business that is like a personality leveraged business.

0:52:39.239 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's good, because that's what I'm trying to do.

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I think is.

0:52:43.800 --> 0:52:47.640
<v Speaker 2>What everybody wants to do. But he Yeah, he gave

0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a really good talk and just kind of talked through

0:52:49.600 --> 0:52:52.319
<v Speaker 2>how he had minority mindset the YouTube channel, and then

0:52:52.320 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to do a blog and then that was

0:52:56.120 --> 0:52:59.040
<v Speaker 2>like a five hundred thousand dollars fail, and then they

0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:04.200
<v Speaker 2>pivoted to do is really successful newsletter instead, and it

0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:06.440
<v Speaker 2>was great, And I think those like this is what

0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:09.280
<v Speaker 2>it really is. You know, you're you're building a business

0:53:09.320 --> 0:53:12.279
<v Speaker 2>or running a business in real time. So it's great

0:53:12.320 --> 0:53:15.040
<v Speaker 2>to get a little peek behind the curtain because typically

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:17.800
<v Speaker 2>we only hear, you know, they started it in the

0:53:17.920 --> 0:53:20.439
<v Speaker 2>garage and then it's a unicorn and there's a billion

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:22.080
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah were.

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Over here struggling.

0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:24.680
<v Speaker 3>But you're right, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

0:53:24.760 --> 0:53:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not trying to erase Tiffany from the bunjanista. I

0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:29.080
<v Speaker 3>am the budgetista, but it's not I don't want to

0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:32.520
<v Speaker 3>be personality based, but leverage, like use my base, use

0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:35.680
<v Speaker 3>my whatever. But I can't touch every little piece of it.

0:53:35.840 --> 0:53:37.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually not good at all the things I love that.

0:53:37.920 --> 0:53:40.439
<v Speaker 3>My team was like, you know, like when I teach

0:53:40.440 --> 0:53:43.560
<v Speaker 3>you Mania, I'm like, I'm holding you back and you're like, well, okay,

0:53:44.160 --> 0:53:46.799
<v Speaker 3>because well no, but honestly, because one thing about me is.

0:53:47.080 --> 0:53:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Running a little too hard.

0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:51.040
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, And honestly, the thing is, I don't

0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:53.759
<v Speaker 3>mind the mirror because I know that it's true. You know,

0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:54.960
<v Speaker 3>it does to make me feel bad, it's not a

0:53:55.000 --> 0:53:58.200
<v Speaker 3>condemnation of my character. I can recognize, oh my gosh,

0:53:58.239 --> 0:54:00.520
<v Speaker 3>without me, this person could do this. And I can

0:54:00.600 --> 0:54:04.120
<v Speaker 3>recognize like because I'll hear it, like, you know, people.

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:05.600
<v Speaker 1>On the team like, oh so, what's happening? What are

0:54:05.640 --> 0:54:05.960
<v Speaker 1>we doing?

0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:08.160
<v Speaker 3>It's just and I'm just like, I know, I'm holding

0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:10.520
<v Speaker 3>y'all back as far as it relates to like, I'm

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:13.520
<v Speaker 3>not that organized and my mind just doesn't work that way.

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:16.360
<v Speaker 3>And instead of trying to force myself into that position,

0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:19.239
<v Speaker 3>it's like, I hear you, let me go find someone

0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:21.239
<v Speaker 3>that can help us with that. And so the team

0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:22.480
<v Speaker 3>is like tifany is listening.

0:54:22.520 --> 0:54:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Of course they're like, well, we love you. I get it.

0:54:24.960 --> 0:54:26.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, two things can be true that you think

0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm great because I'm so nice and blah blah blah.

0:54:29.239 --> 0:54:32.560
<v Speaker 3>But also I know that I'm causing a little like

0:54:32.960 --> 0:54:35.120
<v Speaker 3>turmoil because you're not really sure what you should be

0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:37.799
<v Speaker 3>working on in one in one order. And so like

0:54:38.040 --> 0:54:39.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm teaching, I also want to teach the

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:42.600
<v Speaker 3>team it is okay to acknowledge the places where you

0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:45.719
<v Speaker 3>have shortcomings. And it doesn't mean that something's wrong with me.

0:54:45.880 --> 0:54:50.279
<v Speaker 3>It means like that's just not my gift. That's okay,

0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:53.800
<v Speaker 3>you know. So like I'm okay with acknowledging. I'm not

0:54:53.920 --> 0:54:56.520
<v Speaker 3>good at everything, you know, it's just not possible to be.

0:54:56.680 --> 0:54:59.040
<v Speaker 3>But the things I'm good at, if you position me,

0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I could really ramp up and be better at and

0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:03.920
<v Speaker 3>we can find like the best is a spreadsheet king

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:07.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know, like that's not me, y'all. I ain't

0:55:07.040 --> 0:55:09.600
<v Speaker 3>never gonna get a spreadshee out of me again. So

0:55:10.200 --> 0:55:12.120
<v Speaker 3>you know that there's a spreadsheet girls on the team

0:55:12.160 --> 0:55:14.400
<v Speaker 3>who are like yeah, Like Tracy on the team is

0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:17.280
<v Speaker 3>like very analytical, George, who's my CFO.

<v Speaker 1>Very analytical. They're like, yeah, spread sheet, bring it over.

0:55:20.800 --> 0:55:22.000
