Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, we're back. We're black, we're brown. Ambition, ambition, ambition.
Speaker 1: I wish you guys could see manager right now. She
Speaker 1: is like Meanwhile, like her video went.
Speaker 2: Off, I know I will describe it well for me.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. But don't worry about it. I'm
Speaker 2: sure the people somehow they'll be to see you. I
Speaker 2: still see me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your video is still recording anyway, I remember what
Speaker 1: you look like. Her curls are papping. She's got a
Speaker 1: nice little side park going, and her curls are.
Speaker 2: Giving life there.
Speaker 1: It's giving luxury, it's giving moisture, it's giving definition, it's
Speaker 1: giving you wish you could but can't.
Speaker 2: And she's got a little light beat.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, okay, right because you know, right so,
Speaker 1: Mandy is like this like mannyskin skin complexion is like
Speaker 1: vanilla with a little caramel undertone. And right now it's
Speaker 1: really it's giving bronzer. It's giving even though it's winter.
Speaker 1: Get into this, like you know, natural tan.
Speaker 3: You're making me hot. Just stop talking about my face.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Her lashes, literally, her lashes are giving, like girl, you know,
Speaker 1: like you know how like I always feel so jealous
Speaker 1: whenever I see like little kids. I'm like, you don't
Speaker 1: even need all them blashes. It's giving that right now.
Speaker 1: Her lashes are everything. I'm like, Mandy, I'm like, where
Speaker 1: you're going. You look really cute today, So meanwhile, I've
Speaker 1: given you gray sweatsh sweat, I'm giving you. I didn't
Speaker 1: take a shower today, yes yet, because it was such
Speaker 1: a busy day. But guess what, the melanin is still
Speaker 1: popping either way.
Speaker 3: So you know what melanin is like an instant concealer.
Speaker 3: It's an instant foundation. We wake up and the face
Speaker 3: is halfway there. That's what I feel, you know what exactly.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, you know, I don't feel nothing about it.
Speaker 1: I could give matt Men all her props and be like,
Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, she looks really today. I was like,
Speaker 1: maybe what you're doing today, because you're doing something and
Speaker 1: looking like that.
Speaker 3: I just can't always rely on, you know, zoom filters
Speaker 3: and the uh the other day, I really, did you
Speaker 3: have we talked about this yet? On zoom you can
Speaker 3: add a lip and a brow. No, did you know this?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: And it's it comes in so clutch when all you
Speaker 3: need is a little bit of something like you just
Speaker 3: roll out of bed and you don't want them to know. Yes,
Speaker 3: go into your it's kind of hidden, but you have
Speaker 3: to go into your find a filter or choose a background,
Speaker 3: and then it's like studio filters. This is the pro tip.
Speaker 3: You can pick a lip, you can pick your brow.
Speaker 3: You can do like even the opacity. You can go
Speaker 3: for like a full Kylie Jenner. Or if you want
Speaker 3: more of like you know, just something more natural, more
Speaker 3: of like a t Tiffany Eliche right now, then you
Speaker 3: can go for like more of a translucent brow. It's everything. However,
Speaker 3: it froze the other day when I was drinking something
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you could see my lips stuck to
Speaker 3: my glass, like you know. I was like, maybe this
Speaker 3: isn't you know, Maybe I should get some actual makeup
Speaker 3: and try again. So shouts out to old to beauty
Speaker 3: at Tarje because I hit them up and it is
Speaker 3: a trap. You will leave spending a lot of coins.
Speaker 3: But it was fun.
Speaker 2: No, that's funny. I did not know.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, it's getting real out here when
Speaker 1: Zoom is doing filters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean it's it's pretty good. Just don't
Speaker 3: try and drink or put anything in front of your face.
Speaker 3: Just sit there and look pretty. That's the ticket. Ulie noted, well,
Speaker 3: I woke up kind of down today because I was
Speaker 3: reading up on the Travis Scotty. Did you hear what
Speaker 3: happened in Astro World? Isn't that? It just seems insane,
Speaker 3: It seems tragic. Makes me sad. My heart goes out
Speaker 3: to all the victims. I just wanted to say that
Speaker 3: at the top of the show because it just seems
Speaker 3: like something that was so preventable and it was supposed
Speaker 3: to be, you know, one of the first it feels
Speaker 3: like life is sor every time I say life is
Speaker 3: coming back and then it's like we go backwards. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it just kind of felt like one of those moments
Speaker 3: where things are sort of rezuming to normalcy, and it
Speaker 3: just it's awful that it ended in such tragedy.
Speaker 1: They said some people literally have uh literally had heart attacks.
Speaker 1: So I'm just really curious to like what all, you know,
Speaker 1: what all happened. I know there's a lot of criticism
Speaker 1: because he kept playing and people were like, oh, we
Speaker 1: can't stop because we're recording.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, Peo, people are dying.
Speaker 3: For forty minutes he kept playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, So it's really sad because I mean you said
Speaker 1: that they were they were. I just I just saw
Speaker 1: a video of people kind of like screaming to stop
Speaker 1: and to help, and I was on, I'm not, I don't,
Speaker 1: I'm not on TikTok a ton, but they were. People
Speaker 1: basically have been posting times when artists have stopped the show,
Speaker 1: like because someone was going to be hurt, and they're
Speaker 1: like theyve Adele has done it, blink when maybe whenever
Speaker 1: all these other artists and they're like, why didn't he
Speaker 1: stop the show, you know, to make sure that you
Speaker 1: know people could be safe.
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, I just anyone who was involved in
Speaker 3: that or loves music and just wanted to get back
Speaker 3: to normalcy. My heart just goes out to everybody and
Speaker 3: all the victims especially, And we'll post a link. I
Speaker 3: think that there is like a there are some sites
Speaker 3: you can go to if you want to help any
Speaker 3: of the victims. So we'll try to include that in
Speaker 3: the show notes as well. But you said there was
Speaker 3: another wait, what's going on with Zillo? Because you mentioned
Speaker 3: something about Zillo, and my little ears perked up.
Speaker 1: Yes, So Remember we talked about Zillo before, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know how I feel about them
Speaker 1: getting into the real estate market because they were buying
Speaker 1: a home and selling it. So a friend of mine
Speaker 1: that happened with her mother, like she said it was smooth,
Speaker 1: you know, but that she had to quickly move and
Speaker 1: needed to sell her home, so she sold it via Zillo.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know, she'll never know what
Speaker 1: the full market rate she could have gotten it from,
Speaker 1: because how you know is like, you know, multiple people
Speaker 1: make an offer, but she just allowed Zillo to make
Speaker 1: an offer. So like a lot of real estate professionals,
Speaker 1: you know, were angry because they're like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: you're crowding into our space and and you know you're
Speaker 1: basically you're buying homes for less and also too with
Speaker 1: your estimates where you get to say, hey, this is
Speaker 1: how much we think a home is worth. Isn't that
Speaker 1: like you're kind of you have your hand on both
Speaker 1: sides of the cookie jar, like the home was worth
Speaker 1: is we're selling it and buying it for this. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened as far as like legally,
Speaker 1: but last week sometimes Zillow made a decision that they
Speaker 1: were not going to be selling homes, so they're getting
Speaker 1: rid of their inventory and as a result, they're actually
Speaker 1: letting go about twenty five percentator of their staff. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: hundreds of homes like in Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: almost two thirds of their homes were listed for less
Speaker 1: than what they paid. So there's about seven thousand homes
Speaker 1: two point eight billion dollars you know, of homes that
Speaker 1: they're just like, you know what, you know, we're out
Speaker 1: of the home selling business.
Speaker 2: And yeah, like I.
Speaker 3: Just are those homes on clearance? Are there any good ones?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're saying like they're saying that they you know
Speaker 1: that basically that yes, some of the homes are being
Speaker 1: sold for for less of what at least Villo bought
Speaker 1: them for. Who knows if they're clearance, but they're selling
Speaker 1: for less than Zilla bought them for. So I'm just curious,
Speaker 1: like I wonder if there was you know, some sort
Speaker 1: of like governmental pressure, you know, did not seem as
Speaker 1: profitable as they thought, So I'm just really curious as
Speaker 1: to why. But yeah, so I guess realtor is you
Speaker 1: can breathe easy that Zillo will not be at least
Speaker 1: for now, like crowding in on the market and buying
Speaker 1: a pose and selling them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like the next time I'm ready to
Speaker 3: buy a home, who even knows what will be available.
Speaker 3: But it feels like Zillo definitely has a huge chunk
Speaker 3: of at least consumers and customers like how we are
Speaker 3: shopping for homes and where we're where we're shopping and
Speaker 3: buying homes. So, you know, I feel like monopolies, like
Speaker 3: like the social media giants. You know, everyone's trying to
Speaker 3: break up these social media giants. I mean, maybe it's
Speaker 3: for these online realty realtor companies too, who are just
Speaker 3: kind of taking over everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just kind of like.
Speaker 3: Oooh, I'm all down for technology, but I don't know
Speaker 3: if I want to, like to sell a whole house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 1: It's literally that someone I'm looking at it now a
Speaker 1: little bit. So the Zillo CEO basically said that it
Speaker 1: was costing them too much. The financial costs were too great.
Speaker 1: The company lost three hundred and eighty million dollars in
Speaker 1: the last quarter from Zilo offers. That's what that's what
Speaker 1: that program was called. So you can't continue to lose
Speaker 1: like almost half a million dollars a quarter. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, Like I said, they'll be selling off
Speaker 1: those homes.
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see, you know.
Speaker 1: I told a friend of mine who's looking for home
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, how do you get on that list or
Speaker 1: learn more?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're blaming everything from go Ahead. They say that
Speaker 3: they're looking to sell. They have seven thousand homes. They're
Speaker 3: looking to sell to both individuals and or investors.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: But yeah, where's that mailing list, like you said, because we're.
Speaker 1: Real, I'm like, especially if you're selling it under they're
Speaker 1: basically looking to cut.
Speaker 3: A liquid m exactly what else is going on? We
Speaker 3: finally got the infrastructure bill passed, one trillion dollar infrastructure bill. Honestly,
Speaker 3: it's my biggest grief is always going to be well,
Speaker 3: not always, but one of the biggest things is is
Speaker 3: I wish that they had been able to get the
Speaker 3: paid prints to leave in there like they wanted to.
Speaker 2: What did what?
Speaker 3: What did we end up with four weeks at the
Speaker 3: end of it? Not if anything? So, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It just feels like it feels like everybody wants a
Speaker 3: society where everyone. First of all, we have you need
Speaker 3: to income earners often to like be able to even
Speaker 3: like in order to have a household where each person
Speaker 3: just has one job, and you know, they are bringing
Speaker 3: in a decent enough income to like pay for the
Speaker 3: cost of childcare and housing, these incredibly expensive costs to
Speaker 3: cost today. So they're calling the plan to Build back
Speaker 3: Better bill and basically, yeah, they were. We were. They
Speaker 3: were pushing for a twelve week paid leave that got
Speaker 3: knocked down to just four weeks, which I guess is something.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like two grand a month or basic
Speaker 3: basic daycare, especially where we live where I live in
Speaker 3: New York. And I was having lunch with a girlfriend
Speaker 3: the other day and she's pregnant with her second and
Speaker 3: her son is Rio's age too, So that means, like
Speaker 3: the math is, you're going to have two children in
Speaker 3: daycare unless you decide what to quit and work and
Speaker 3: just be a stay at home, you know, parent, which
Speaker 3: you can't afford to do because you have housing expenses,
Speaker 3: whether you rent or you have a mortgage. Everything expensive.
Speaker 3: And she's like, we're gonna make it work. You know.
Speaker 3: It's it's one of those it's a it's a human
Speaker 3: and it's on the way and it's you know, and
Speaker 3: just it also gets into you know, our right to
Speaker 3: choose our own family planning and you have of course
Speaker 3: you have anti abortion like that is going to be
Speaker 3: reaching the Supreme Court again. There's a case out there
Speaker 3: and there will be more. And it's like, so you
Speaker 3: don't want us to decide, you know, our own our
Speaker 3: own you know how many children we want, and when
Speaker 3: we don't want to have children anymore, so you don't
Speaker 3: you want to control our bodies. But when it comes
Speaker 3: to having the children and making sure that they have
Speaker 3: a good quality of life, that they're educated, and that
Speaker 3: we're able to work, to live and survive, you don't
Speaker 3: want to give us that kind of support. So, and
Speaker 3: I know progressives especially there were like six Progressives who
Speaker 3: didn't vote in favor of the bill, which I understand
Speaker 3: their point because it didn't go far enough. It could
Speaker 3: have been way more supportive of working families and all
Speaker 3: of that. Twenty twenty four is going to be a
Speaker 3: very interesting election and I'm scared, like if Democrats don't
Speaker 3: start delivering, I'm scared that they're not going to get
Speaker 3: the support.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, you know, one thing that was like,
Speaker 1: I want to add in the bill that odd, But
Speaker 1: I was like, what is this? I saw that there's
Speaker 1: one billion outs set aside in the bill to reconnect communities,
Speaker 1: mainly disproportionately black neighborhoods. I'm reading from CNN dot Com
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, I mean, I'd always I heard that, like,
Speaker 1: for example, in Detroit, that there would be these like,
Speaker 1: you know, thriving black neighborhoods and they would divide them
Speaker 1: with the highway, destroying you know, this like economic hub
Speaker 1: and the black neighborhood. And so yeah, I guess I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really just like curious about what does.
Speaker 2: It look like.
Speaker 1: I said, it's gonna fun planning, design and demolish and
Speaker 1: reconstruct the street grids, parks.
Speaker 2: Or other infrastructure.
Speaker 1: So I'm just like, oh, so you acknowledged that highways
Speaker 1: were put up to destroy the economic prosperity in black neighborhoods, gotcha. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we shall see. That's something that I thought was interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what does that look like actually rolled out?
Speaker 1: But to your point, am I gonna lie? I'm not
Speaker 1: feeling I've kind of like resigned myself that like you know,
Speaker 1: when the next presidential elections come up.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because.
Speaker 1: You know, like where's we said that student loan? You know,
Speaker 1: there was gonna be some student loan relief an saying it.
Speaker 1: You know, some of the policies that were put in
Speaker 1: place for immigrants and immigrants in Mexico, for folks that
Speaker 1: have been trying to come here, some of those policies,
Speaker 1: some of those inhumane policies have maintained. I was reading
Speaker 1: an article that these immigration lawyers are basically like I'm
Speaker 1: not going to continue to participate and you know, current
Speaker 1: policies because they're they're cruel, And I just was like,
Speaker 1: you know, some of these policies were put in place
Speaker 1: with the last administration and they've been kept in place.
Speaker 2: So and we all see what happened to Haitians, you know.
Speaker 1: Were that were here or trying to get here, and
Speaker 1: how literally they were being whipped as if it was
Speaker 1: seventeen seventy two, like with men on horses whipping them
Speaker 1: as if they're not human beings. This happened under this
Speaker 1: current administration. So I am, you know, I'm not hopeful,
Speaker 1: and I guess here and what's to be hopeful? For
Speaker 1: hopeful for more of this cry honesty. I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: looking just like where we were before, and like, what's
Speaker 1: the real difference. It's just that what the news is
Speaker 1: more salacious. So I don't know Democrats, honestly, it just
Speaker 1: it's not looking good. But it's not looking good currently either, so.
Speaker 3: Right and people are not good. They're not They won't
Speaker 3: really change things in the way that we want them to.
Speaker 3: Progressives do. I'm assuming you're progressive, but you know, progressives
Speaker 3: do unless we make noise and unless we are out
Speaker 3: there just as vocally as we were before. And I
Speaker 3: think a lot of us were just worn and tired
Speaker 3: from twenty twenty. And I will raise my hand and
Speaker 3: be like, you know, I wasn't as active. Of course,
Speaker 3: I voted in this past election, and all of that
Speaker 3: just last week or two weeks, it was it last week.
Speaker 3: I forget now and all that is really important. But
Speaker 3: I do feel like we all just took a much
Speaker 3: need to breather and just like, Okay, let's woosaw, and
Speaker 3: I think we deserve that, but let's let's get back
Speaker 3: to it and let's start making noise again, because there's
Speaker 3: a couple more years and ye, it's not just enough
Speaker 3: to elect Democrats anymore. It's about electing. It's about electing
Speaker 3: officials who are actually going to put forward changes that
Speaker 3: impact those of us who rarely get the attention, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So back on it. Election season
Speaker 3: always always Okay?
Speaker 1: Any other news we can use when it comes to money, career, business, anything,
Speaker 1: anything new in business?
Speaker 2: How are you doing? We haven't had a bit. We
Speaker 2: need to have the business check.
Speaker 3: In, the business check in every week. We just had
Speaker 3: an update last week.
Speaker 1: No, no, not every week, but just like, no, I
Speaker 1: feel like we didn't have a check in, check in,
Speaker 1: Like how are you overall?
Speaker 2: How are you feeling? How are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm making money, I'm doing well. I am Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm still doing I did. I've done three career coaching
Speaker 3: sessions today I'm up to like fifty five so those
Speaker 3: are still going really well. But my income streams have
Speaker 3: been consistent. Ish, I mean, it is the kind I
Speaker 3: am getting used to. The checks won't always come at
Speaker 3: the exact same time. But the biggest thing, and I've
Speaker 3: gotten this question so much many times since I went solo,
Speaker 3: was how much do you need to save before you
Speaker 3: break out? Into your own and I don't think there's
Speaker 3: any right answer, but what I will say in my
Speaker 3: personal experience, my husband and I had a year's worth
Speaker 3: of income set aside cash, which we were just in
Speaker 3: the middle of deciding, you know, we should probably just
Speaker 3: put have we probably have way too much set aside.
Speaker 3: We need to just put half of this in the
Speaker 3: market and all of that. But it takes it really
Speaker 3: has taken the pressure off of me. So I don't
Speaker 3: feel that anxiety, and I don't feel that sense of
Speaker 3: if I don't make you know, if I don't get
Speaker 3: this gig, or if I don't make this or that,
Speaker 3: that we're not going to be able to make their
Speaker 3: mortgage payment on time. So we have been living off
Speaker 3: of those savings while I'm still bringing in that income.
Speaker 3: So that has been really good. And I think if
Speaker 3: you're in the position and you want to have that
Speaker 3: freedom fund, like I always talk about, our freedom fund,
Speaker 3: has really been freedom for me, like freedom to not
Speaker 3: be anxious.
Speaker 1: Any any major challenges that you're like, oh, I did
Speaker 1: not see this coming.
Speaker 3: My own brain, Like I mean my own brain in
Speaker 3: the sense that the challenge has been time and the
Speaker 3: challenge has been deciding what to do first and learning
Speaker 3: to focus. And that's always been my that's been my
Speaker 3: cons that's the constant day to day. I don't know
Speaker 3: if that's like specific enough, but it's always Okay, I'm
Speaker 3: sitting down today and what am I going to accomplish
Speaker 3: and what needs to get done and where can my
Speaker 3: impact be the greatest? And I still I still I
Speaker 3: do have an admin, but I still find myself doing
Speaker 3: things myself. And we didn't even mention we have a
Speaker 3: new website. I just thought about that because right we
Speaker 3: have a new Brandivision dot com, podcast dot com. It's
Speaker 3: really cute. But surely our designer who's also we have
Speaker 3: a she has a young she has two young children,
Speaker 3: and she and I were just like commiserating about how
Speaker 3: we are both in this. We need to stop doing
Speaker 3: this surely, where we we tell someone we want something
Speaker 3: done and then if it's not done, you know, immediately,
Speaker 3: or enough time goes by, then you're like, I'm just
Speaker 3: doing myself, you know what I mean. It's not good.
Speaker 3: And I was like, surely we can't do that, and
Speaker 3: so that's that's something that I'm working on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, honestly, that's a long that's a life,
Speaker 1: lifelong entrepreneur battle. I certainly suffer from that because I'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm just and I'm like, but I'm
Speaker 1: learning also to what I what I do know that
Speaker 1: is when I trust that someone's going to get it
Speaker 1: done right, I'm less likely to do that. So sometimes
Speaker 1: it also is a reminder of like is this person
Speaker 1: actually in the right position. So that's like really helpful,
Speaker 1: you know, like I've really got a great admin. Now,
Speaker 1: shout out to you Rose last Michelle Gaga. Now I
Speaker 1: know and so but yeah, so but she's excellent. So
Speaker 1: I find myself less like going into doing things because
Speaker 1: I know Rose is going to manage it and handle it.
Speaker 1: And so no, that's that's always going to be.
Speaker 2: A challenge for me.
Speaker 1: We have just like it's just so we are going
Speaker 1: through like a unique kind of like transition where I'm
Speaker 1: really getting clear about the deliverability, like what does the
Speaker 1: budget needs to deliver and what does deliver Chair Academy
Speaker 1: deliver because before they were like Siamese twins and then
Speaker 1: like right now there's sister slash cousins, and so we're
Speaker 1: really pulling them apart to be like besties where they
Speaker 1: help each other. But there's two distinctly separate companies. So
Speaker 1: that that's you know, there's there's challenges as it relates
Speaker 1: to that, Like, so wait, what is Budget needs to do?
Speaker 1: So I've gotten really clear, which is helpful, Like I
Speaker 1: see Budgetiesta as really like, at least for now, it's
Speaker 1: core deliverable. It's a content company. It pushes out content,
Speaker 1: content via books, via the blog. I've got this other
Speaker 1: new content project we're working out that. Like, but when
Speaker 1: I look at all the things the budget needs to
Speaker 1: delivers content and then monetizes that content. And then when
Speaker 1: I look at Literature Academy, it's a little trickier because
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is it in the business up? But
Speaker 1: when I really look at its core, Literature Academy is
Speaker 1: like a customer a customer service company. It sounds weird,
Speaker 1: but if you ever read Zappos, is the he passed
Speaker 1: away last year or earlier this year, Tony Shay Rest
Speaker 1: of Peace. He was like that Zappos. Although Zappos was
Speaker 1: a His book is called Delivering Happiness. I encourage you
Speaker 1: to read it. An excellent book that but he talked
Speaker 1: about how Zappos sells shoes, but really their main job
Speaker 1: is to delight the customer, and that's what the Academy does. Like,
Speaker 1: we have amazing customer support even when people cancel, like
Speaker 1: we make them feel so good. Thirty percent of our
Speaker 1: people come back after canceling. That's how good our customer
Speaker 1: support is. But also too, where I'm redeveloping the Literature
Speaker 1: Academy is more so like an amazing library now where
Speaker 1: you can kind of like pick a course off the shelf.
Speaker 1: And what we're realizing is that in conjunction to the library,
Speaker 1: that really what people need is they actually need a
Speaker 1: syllabus to say, okay, here are so we're doing this
Speaker 1: twelve step The Literature Academy is core deliverable to delight
Speaker 1: the customers, this twelve step program where it's like are
Speaker 1: the twelve steps you need to live a richer life?
Speaker 1: And then the the library is still there, but it's
Speaker 1: more like what are those things called electives? You know,
Speaker 1: like you can still access the line, you know, because
Speaker 1: we've found that people are not as autonomous as they
Speaker 1: pretend to be.
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, girl, I'm fine. They're like actually they're
Speaker 2: like tell me what to do.
Speaker 3: What you do analysis paralysis. Yeah, I'm an LRA. I'm
Speaker 3: a card carrying member of the l RA. Yeah, not
Speaker 3: that one. Tiffany's l RA. And and it's it is.
Speaker 3: It's like even when I go to Netflix, yep, you
Speaker 3: know it's too many options.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: We realized that we are lazy. We're a lazy human species.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Because I realized I was like, you know what, Tiffany,
Speaker 1: because I realized there are some people who like that.
Speaker 1: But I'm realizing that I were not. I was not
Speaker 1: adhering to the other type of learner. And so I'm
Speaker 1: excited because because of writing gek you with Money. This
Speaker 1: is our our block, our post our shortly push gig
Speaker 1: your Money dot com New York Time bestseller.
Speaker 2: Right, so gig You with Money showed me.
Speaker 1: These are the ten components, and then there's a pre
Speaker 1: component and a post component. The pre component is mindset.
Speaker 1: The post component to me is philanthropy and giving. So
Speaker 1: it's twelve steps. So it's really like the get gore
Speaker 1: with money financial holdness steps with these two steps, but
Speaker 1: really walking you through having one teacher teach each of
Speaker 1: the components like Obviously I'm teaching the budget and component,
Speaker 1: but someone else is teaching another component. So I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that because we're going to really lean into it.
Speaker 1: I call it the Peloton model, where it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we make the teachers superstars, you know, like we use
Speaker 1: them in advertisements. And so I'm excited because that shit
Speaker 1: is happening. Yeah, you see what I mean. So, because
Speaker 1: the truth is with the academy, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be the face. You know, although I'm not the face
Speaker 1: inside the academy, I'm still the external face, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want to share that responsibility and the truth is
Speaker 1: what It's doublefold because I one get to take a
Speaker 1: step back, but also too, I get to push people forward.
Speaker 1: I get to say, here's this person, aren't they amazing?
Speaker 1: Because we've been seven figures annually on ads, So here
Speaker 1: are people in the financial space that normally would not
Speaker 1: have the exposure. I mean, we're not paying because we're
Speaker 1: we're paying the actual and we're paying well the actual instructors,
Speaker 1: but we also are now able to use our big
Speaker 1: budget to push you forward and say they're amazing. We're
Speaker 1: specifically looking for people who have their own businesses because
Speaker 1: we want you to, yes, teach this one class, but
Speaker 1: we really want people to dive deeper within with you
Speaker 1: outside of us. So it's an exciting time. But it's
Speaker 1: also a lot of like shifting and transitioning and the
Speaker 1: back end, you know, there's you know, there's the back
Speaker 1: end component of like the financial back end of like
Speaker 1: pulling companies apart. So like it it's really challenging.
Speaker 2: But I really believe that if we do this our
Speaker 2: five year.
Speaker 1: Trajectory, like we will finally be able to me we
Speaker 1: should be done with the full transition by the end
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, that twenty twenty three we should
Speaker 1: be able to rocket shift to the next level. Like
Speaker 1: my aim is to be able to help I think
Speaker 1: right now we currently have I don't know, maybe thirty
Speaker 1: thousand students in the academy, and my aim is in
Speaker 1: five years to have a consistent one hundred thousand students
Speaker 1: in the academy and to be fifty million dollars a
Speaker 1: year for the academy. And it's very doable with this shift.
Speaker 1: So it's exciting, and I'll keep you guys breast and updated.
Speaker 3: That sounds freaking when you said pelotonic clicked for me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that sounds because a lot of people, including myself, you know,
Speaker 3: I choose classes based on who's teaching it, what's their style, Yeah,
Speaker 3: not what personal finance. That's why it's so great that
Speaker 3: we have all these different voices in the Personal Finance
Speaker 3: base because you can kind of choose the voice that
Speaker 3: that is that you're going to learn from. That sounds awesome.
Speaker 3: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: I'm going to come in to you soon, Mandra.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me know if you need a class on
Speaker 3: quitting because I'm really really good with that.
Speaker 1: No, no, for real, because I want to have like
Speaker 1: we want to take like our twelve steps, but then
Speaker 1: we also want to have like these shorter courses that
Speaker 1: we pay instruct to teach, because you're right, I do
Speaker 1: want to class on quitting, like you know, how to
Speaker 1: quit and still make more so that way people can
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, that was so great.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I said, it's exciting. But it's just like.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing, running a business is not
Speaker 1: for the faint of heart because just when you think
Speaker 1: that you've like fixed something, there's another thing. And so
Speaker 1: it's not the actual doing that's sometimes really challenging.
Speaker 2: It's the feeling, you know. So I'm really like I'm
Speaker 2: reading right now there to Lead? Is it there to Lead?
Speaker 2: By Brene Brown.
Speaker 1: That's a good one, yes, because I am trying to
Speaker 1: manage the emotional component of leadership so that way it
Speaker 1: doesn't take a toll, because it can be really overwhelming
Speaker 1: when you're like, I didn't do that right, I should
Speaker 1: have said that better?
Speaker 2: Did I hurt that person's feelings?
Speaker 1: You know? Like that part because I'm a true impath,
Speaker 1: and so I'm trying to learn how do I navigate
Speaker 1: from a healthy space and to get give myself the
Speaker 1: grace to say, you are going to make mistakes, but
Speaker 1: what do you do to fix those mistakes and pivot
Speaker 1: in a way you know that is healthy for you
Speaker 1: but also healthy for the team. And so yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the part that I struggle with because I struggle with
Speaker 1: not having knee jerk reactions when I feel like I
Speaker 1: messed up to try to fix it quickly, to be
Speaker 1: like Tiffany space and grace.
Speaker 2: You know, you have your coaches. What should next steps be?
Speaker 1: Let's not overwhelm yourself or make yourself feel like you're
Speaker 1: this terrible person because maybe you made a mistakes.
Speaker 2: And so that's what I'm struggling with.
Speaker 3: Now are you still using the business coach zion? See
Speaker 3: you're still on the picture.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're to month now.
Speaker 3: Month to month? Yeah, I mean, how how important has
Speaker 3: that role been for you? Like his his counsel, like
Speaker 3: going having that relationship. Obviously it's been working out because you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, transformative. I tell people all the time that like
Speaker 1: it now. I never really believed in coaching before. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I was like, sounds scammy, but the
Speaker 1: right coach isn't. Because reme doctor Green, who is amazing.
Speaker 1: And when I tell you lasting changed with doctor Green,
Speaker 1: I am able to apologize more quickly. Now because of
Speaker 1: doctor Green, I am able to have the more difficult
Speaker 1: conversations without the anxiety. Well it's still the anxiety, but
Speaker 1: it's an anxiety that is relative to the conversation being had.
Speaker 1: Like I would have one hundred percent anxiety for a
Speaker 1: ten percent interaction. So it was like not you know,
Speaker 1: so now it's reasonable. It's like, well, I'm a little nervous,
Speaker 1: but I'm not like crying and hysterical, and it's like girl,
Speaker 1: like you know, so that's been helpful. But then with Zion,
Speaker 1: he's really helped me to take a step back to
Speaker 1: see like what is my role as a leader. So
Speaker 1: like Zion has really taught me to stand in my
Speaker 1: power because I gave and I still do too much,
Speaker 1: but I gave a lot of my power away. And
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, your owner and CEO, you
Speaker 1: can make it this definitive choice here, And so I
Speaker 1: didn't really believe that before. He's like, I love that
Speaker 1: you have a democracy, butultimately, if you think this is
Speaker 1: the right way to go, you can own it and
Speaker 1: move forward. So with Zion, I've learned so much of that.
Speaker 1: But also too, a really good coach should not just
Speaker 1: be giving you like this great coaching advice. What else
Speaker 1: he's also good at is that he's got a huge network.
Speaker 1: So I can say to him, Hey, Zion, I need
Speaker 1: someone who's going to help us with SEL and he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I know the guy who did SEO
Speaker 1: for dr our Unfath, you know, but you know, we
Speaker 1: know this is someone who I know has was successful
Speaker 1: and able to push that that person's platform forward.
Speaker 2: I mean, where would you get that?
Speaker 1: And so to me, a really good coach also is connected,
Speaker 1: and so there are a lot of people that I
Speaker 1: pull them Zion like we need this, we need this,
Speaker 1: and I might not have connections in that space, and
Speaker 1: he's pulled them into into my into my ecosystem.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 1: So like, I think this is our last official month
Speaker 1: and we're just going to be kind of like going
Speaker 1: month to month and then for just a few months
Speaker 1: and then I think I would love to do like
Speaker 1: a quarterly kind of like check in, you know, as
Speaker 1: an end.
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, I think that's really good. I'm I've
Speaker 3: been thinking about a business coach too, just keeping my
Speaker 3: eyes and ears open. I have another front. Well you
Speaker 3: know Berna. You were just on Berna's new podcast. I
Speaker 3: love her, loves her business coach too, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: even just having a sounding board, especially as a solo preneur,
Speaker 3: is just me and you know Molly sometimes to talk
Speaker 3: to you. That's my dog. So it's nice. And I
Speaker 3: have my therapist, right, and I have a really good
Speaker 3: friend who helps me and her her background is in
Speaker 3: pr and communication, so she's good to bounce ideas off
Speaker 3: from there or just I'm like I did this segment,
Speaker 3: how did I sound? And I don't have like a
Speaker 3: business coach, like a business counselor, And part of me
Speaker 3: is thinking, all right, time to assemble, you know, continue
Speaker 3: my avengers list and potentially add a business coach to
Speaker 3: the to the bad.
Speaker 1: If you see how good it's been for you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: honestly it condiding I can, though no, I would say
Speaker 1: Zion to me would not make sense for anyone who
Speaker 1: you should be making multiple six figures, seven figures a
Speaker 1: year to make for Zion to make sense quite honestly
Speaker 1: because of the expense, Because like Zion is about, him
Speaker 1: and his team are about thirty five thousand dollars a month,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't make sense if you're making a million
Speaker 1: dollars a year, that's like half your money, so you
Speaker 1: wouldn't be big.
Speaker 3: To me, it would make what I make in a month,
Speaker 3: that's all of my money for one month. That wouldn't
Speaker 3: make any sense, all right, So I am gonna think
Speaker 3: about that and I'll update you. All right. We'll keep
Speaker 3: asking me how it's going, because I feel like I'll
Speaker 3: just try to be honest every time. I like, have
Speaker 3: you seen the new the new series of Insecure? The
Speaker 3: new the last season yet.
Speaker 1: No, but I mean I watched one because I went
Speaker 1: with I hung up with Yvonne when she was in
Speaker 1: New York and she's like, come to this, like, you know,
Speaker 1: episode premiere.
Speaker 3: Or whatever, and I did, and was it the first episode?
Speaker 3: I think it was a second Oh okay, because in
Speaker 3: the first episode it's so funny because isa Asa d
Speaker 3: the character she's that they're at Stanford for their reunion
Speaker 3: and she's on a panel and she's it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: how did you know it was the right business choice
Speaker 3: for you to become an entrepreneur? And she's like, you
Speaker 3: know what, I don't know. Every day I wake up
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure I could wake up tomorrow and
Speaker 3: decided I wasted my time. And I was like, and
Speaker 3: of course you could. You could hear a pin drop
Speaker 3: because it was just an awkwards. It wasn't like the ooh,
Speaker 3: make everybody inspired kind of answer, but it was the real,
Speaker 3: real So that really hit me. And I'll just try
Speaker 3: and keep it real with you guys at all times
Speaker 3: because maybe some days I'm not feeling it. But so far,
Speaker 3: so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also too, I think it'd be good. We
Speaker 2: don't have to do this now, but we should break down.
Speaker 1: I think I always like to know you don't have
Speaker 1: to say how much, but like, here are my revenue streams,
Speaker 1: because I don't think people know like, oh, I can
Speaker 1: make money with affiliate links.
Speaker 2: I can make money.
Speaker 1: So I think it would be great for us to
Speaker 1: have like just like a business chat where we're just
Speaker 1: like here the revenue streams, like cause there are so
Speaker 1: many things I didn't know, Like, wait, you could do that.
Speaker 2: That's really smart, you know?
Speaker 1: So you know?
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that like having like a business
Speaker 2: show chat. Would y'all like that?
Speaker 1: Let us know, tweet us, hit us up on instant
Speaker 1: if you love, for us, me and Mandy to literally
Speaker 1: just have like one show where we just talk business
Speaker 1: and then we can even answer our business questions that
Speaker 1: week for the b a QA.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I.
Speaker 1: Think it's time for brown boost of break. Now it's
Speaker 1: time for boost up break or booster break up? Boost
Speaker 1: up break?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna boost boot?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: You gonna break? Which one? Mandy? Are you gonna take?
Speaker 2: You're gonna boost a break?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna boost because I just got a text from
Speaker 3: a friend of mine. He loves like I do. Miss
Speaker 3: Lady Viola Davis, and he's like, look at this article.
Speaker 3: There's there's images of Viola Davis and I forgot she
Speaker 3: was playing Michelle Obama and then yes, yes, yes, and
Speaker 3: she looks just like her. I wasn't sure. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know, they can't look exactly like her, but she
Speaker 3: looks just like her in this picture. And it's gonna
Speaker 3: be this a news show on Showtime called First Lady,
Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't think it's all about Michelle, which
Speaker 3: is unfortunate, but oh look there's Malia and Sasha all
Speaker 3: but anyway, so I'm gonna check that out for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 3: for those of us who get our who get our
Speaker 3: knowledge from watching too much TV, like I do. Tiffany's
Speaker 3: on her book life, but I watch a lot of
Speaker 3: TV these days. But I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2: No, Okay, I am.
Speaker 3: Going to.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna Boosty Breaky.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna Boosty Breaky for I get asked like
Speaker 1: a lot of times to like join like kind of
Speaker 1: like masterminds, and I don't know there's one that I'm
Speaker 1: like a part of now that I'm like, I cause
Speaker 1: what I one of the things I wanted to do
Speaker 1: was I find that I work like in this little
Speaker 1: hole of mine, and I just was like, it would
Speaker 1: be nice to connect with other people in business so
Speaker 1: I can know what I'm doing right or wrong. And
Speaker 1: it's hard to find a great kind of like group
Speaker 1: that's not wasting my time. So there are a couple
Speaker 1: that I'm in that I'm like, why am I here?
Speaker 2: I have so much work to do.
Speaker 1: We're just talking in circles, you know, and I'm just

Speaker 1: connect and see, like, you know, what are some ways
Speaker 1: to expand. Plus I you know, I love some new
Speaker 1: friends too, like in business. But then you know, there
Speaker 1: are some that I'm like slowly but surely, Like you
Speaker 1: ever see the Homer meme where he's like slipping in.
Speaker 2: The hedge, Like.
Speaker 1: Yes, So I feel like that's what I'm doing because
Speaker 1: I'm like, after meeting number four, you're like, wait, are
Speaker 1: we still talking about you know, like what our name
Speaker 1: should be?
Speaker 2: What's going on of off time?
Speaker 1: So yeah, just being mindful, like you know, like I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to be mindful when it's when to spend
Speaker 1: my time because you know, I just have just just
Speaker 1: now more than ever, my plate is extra full. Like
Speaker 1: just so you guys, I think I can share this
Speaker 1: because I didn't sign an NDA not to I you know,
Speaker 1: you guys know already that I signed my contract with
Speaker 1: a production company. You know that I was really adamant
Speaker 1: that I had to get not just front end, which
Speaker 1: is talent feed, but also back end, back end. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, should your show ever go into syndication? Should
Speaker 1: your show, I mean I'm talking about your shows on
Speaker 1: like you know, a network television, or should your show
Speaker 1: ever be Like for example, Tyra Banks had top Model
Speaker 1: and they had Top Model Ukraine, So if that ever
Speaker 1: happens and you get a piece of that as well,
Speaker 1: you know, but also too, there's merch. Like I was like,
Speaker 1: picture my face being on merch and tiff don't get
Speaker 1: a cut.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's not happening.
Speaker 1: So I held out because I've been courted, if you will,
Speaker 1: by a bunch of production companies. But most of them
Speaker 1: were like, no, girl, you ain't nobody. You can't get
Speaker 1: no back and I'm like, well, obviously I'm somebody because
Speaker 1: you're yare you know?
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I was like no, I want that,
Speaker 2: like I you know, I want that back end.
Speaker 1: So I found a production company that's great, reputable, and
Speaker 1: they were like yeah, so we got to a good
Speaker 1: number that you know, I think is good and now
Speaker 1: they've pitched. So they came to my house a couple
Speaker 1: of months ago. We created a real They pitched to
Speaker 1: like four different outlets and no, six outlets, and four
Speaker 1: of them are like, we're interested, let's have a chat
Speaker 1: with Tiffany.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can say the outlet.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna keep it low key because I
Speaker 1: don't you know, I won't get in trouble because and.
Speaker 3: Tell me it wasn't working out. But it sounds like, okay,
Speaker 3: you did find the production company that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I found a really good production company.
Speaker 1: I like them, you know, like they listen and you know,
Speaker 1: great personalities, like you know, signed the contract with them.
Speaker 1: Now they've pitched my real So I've been here before
Speaker 1: where I've signed with the production company when I first
Speaker 1: started and then we've created a reel and it's been
Speaker 1: pitched and everyone's like, I don't care, go back home, Tiffany.
Speaker 2: So this time, of the of the.
Speaker 1: Six people that they pitched so far, four are like, hmm,
Speaker 1: we like Tiffany. There was one that actually said no
Speaker 1: that I was shocked. I'm like, really, are you salty?
Speaker 1: Because they approached me separately. I said, oh you saying no? Okay,
Speaker 1: because you know, it's like because they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we pitched you. The executives there, they knew you, and
Speaker 1: they were like, I'm like, I know because they asked
Speaker 1: me to do a show for them, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, she signed with you now either way.
Speaker 1: And then one I'll tell you one of them that
Speaker 1: said no because I feel like it wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: big deal. They pitched me to Magnolia you know, Chia, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they declined.
Speaker 2: Because I don't know that I'd be a fit there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, like I have not watched Magnolia,
Speaker 1: but that was one of them, and then another one
Speaker 1: I don't want to say just in case, you know,
Speaker 1: like since now that I call them a hater.
Speaker 2: Verbally, I'm.
Speaker 3: You don't have to tell us it's okay.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so the other four, like I said, we're
Speaker 2: moving forward.
Speaker 1: We've I've already had one chat, I have one tomorrow
Speaker 1: or the day after tomorrow. And so I'm just excited about, like,
Speaker 1: you know what that might be, like literally you might see,
Speaker 1: like it's very likely that I will have a show.
Speaker 1: It probably wouldn't air anytime until twenty twenty three, but
Speaker 1: can you imagine like me having like a show show,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, so we'll see like where you see like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see it, yes, no, but that's just it
Speaker 1: would just be really crazy. So I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: like what it all rolls out into being. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: like the update about that, And I just I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I feel a little nervous about
Speaker 1: having a show, just because I feel a little overwhelmed
Speaker 1: in some places now, So I'm just like, well, how
Speaker 1: does that work? So I'm putting things in place in
Speaker 1: my businesses so I can take a step back. If
Speaker 1: you guys have not read the book Built to Sell,
Speaker 1: please do. I'm matter of fact, I canna get it
Speaker 1: right here an.
Speaker 3: Just put a Google I feel like you need to
Speaker 3: create a Google doc with the lights in the books
Speaker 3: because every episode you tell us like four different books
Speaker 3: to read and who has the time, but we need
Speaker 3: some links.
Speaker 2: No, but for real, Built to Sell by John Warrilo.
Speaker 1: It's and not to say Mandy, you should read it
Speaker 1: to anybody who's in business, especially if you're just starting.
Speaker 1: It's not just about are you building a business to sell?
Speaker 1: It's also about how should you what structure should you
Speaker 1: create in your business? So it doesn't lean so heavily
Speaker 1: on you personally. That's what I love about it. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't just teach you like, oh, you know your
Speaker 1: business is ready to sell? No, you quickly realize like, oh,
Speaker 1: reading this book lets me know, like now my business
Speaker 1: doesn't need me for everything. I'm not the ruder and
Speaker 1: the tutor you know for the business like that, like
Speaker 1: and so it's just a real like I tell all
Speaker 1: of my like you know, full grown ups.
Speaker 3: I've ever heard that before.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, like all my folk grown entrepreneurs, all my
Speaker 2: new be entrepreneurs. Everyone needs to rebuild to sell.
Speaker 1: It's just a really great but it's it's it's written
Speaker 1: like a story about a business. The guy goes to
Speaker 1: see his mentor. His mentor walks him through being prepared
Speaker 1: to sell, and at the end he has to decide, well, dang,
Speaker 1: the business doesn't need me as much. Is actually I
Speaker 1: have more time for my family, my kids, do I
Speaker 1: even want to sell it? So that's kind of like
Speaker 1: what happens at the end. But but yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: setting myself up in that way because there's no way
Speaker 1: that I can be, you know, taping for three months
Speaker 1: and be and with the same schedule that I have
Speaker 1: now because it's just not going to be.
Speaker 2: So I have to put some things in place. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I know that was a long like boosy breaking.
Speaker 1: But I say all that to say I don't have
Speaker 1: time for all these random masterminds like even make it
Speaker 1: make it make sense or don't?
Speaker 3: It sounds like you don't need to mastermind. It sounds
Speaker 3: like you just you know, I do.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one thing.
Speaker 3: It's yes, I not to cut you off, but it's like,
Speaker 3: I see, I get it, like you want more friends,
Speaker 3: and you want more voices and more friends and like
Speaker 3: to connect with people at a different level. But at
Speaker 3: the same time sometimes well you've clearly done this, but
Speaker 3: it's like sometimes knowing when to just trust your gut
Speaker 3: and that you know enough and like, you know, just
Speaker 3: kind of do things on your own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, because I guess I'm because since I'm
Speaker 1: like I feel like I just be living in such
Speaker 1: a hole.
Speaker 2: I'm like I'll be looking up like that, like the ground, like,
Speaker 2: you know, what is it? Is it the groundhog? I
Speaker 2: see it's a shadow? Is that the groundhog?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: What is the thing that sees a shadow? Is it
Speaker 2: a groundhogle? Dog?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Sometimes I just feel like that, like I lived up
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what's going on outside?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: So it's nice to have like a you know, not
Speaker 1: even that I'm wanting people to tell me what to do,
Speaker 1: but just nice to get a gauge of like what's
Speaker 1: happening in the business world, and sometimes not even feeling
Speaker 1: so alone when you're just like, am I bugging or
