1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Hey, Hurdler's Emily about a year.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: Jumping in to bring you a really awesome, awesome conversation

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: I had last week thanks to my friends at war Now.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: War Organic is a one hundred percent natural line of vegan,

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: low calorie, low sugar electrolyte infused beverages, and last week

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: we got together to celebrate that. Along with their four spokesmodels,

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: we've got Robin Arzon, Peloton's vice president and head instructor.

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: You guys have heard her many a time on the pod,

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: Lauren at Kitten's ABERDEENI. She's a producer, DJ and founder

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: of Power, Jacqueline Johnson, the founder and CEO of Create

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: and Cultivate, and last but not least, Deanna Nunez, who's

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: a multimedia artist and founder of covial Now. If you

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: know anything about these women, you know that they are

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: strong and powerful and influential to say the least, so

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: as you can imagine, a conversation that involves the four

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: of them is just electrifying. We chat about everything from

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: how they got their starts in their career to different

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: significant moments from their beginnings. We cover aha moments, how

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: they've leveraged the digital community and social media to grow,

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: advice that they'd offer themselves at the start of their careers,

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. I mean literally, this conversation is

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: jam packed with wisdom and tidbits that just gave me

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 2: chills as I sat there.

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: I really hope you like it.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600

Speaker 2: and trust me this one well, it's definitely worth sharing.

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: And that's it. With that, let's get to hurdling.

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: As many of you know, sometimes starting out can surely

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: be the hardest part.

36
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: So we either know nothing about where we're going.

37
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: We have all of these scattered ideas, we want to

38
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: do two hundred things at once, but can only do

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: maybe three. So my first question to you tonight is

40
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: talk to me a little bit about your start. If

41
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: there's any specific details you remember about getting into the

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: career path that you've chosen right now, and feel free

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: to go in whatever order.

44
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: We don't have to be anything specific.

45
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: Well, my original hustle was as a lawyer, so running

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: for a living now is or sweating for a living,

47
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: I should say, is quite different. So for me, it

48
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: was actually a slow to year process of leaving a

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: full time law firm job and recreating myself as an athlete.

50
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: And the pivotal point.

51
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: For me was I stopped accepting free pairs of shoes

52
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: from athletic brands who wanted to work with me, and

53
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: I started to put a value on my own time,

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: and I started to put.

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 4: A number, a dollar sign on my ideas.

56
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: And I know, like artists and all of us, I

57
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: probably have had that moment where it's like, we're there,

58
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to have to accept a no in order

59
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: for someone to value my yes. And the yes pays

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: the bills. So yeah, I just stopped accepting free shoes.

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: And now look at where you are, Jacquoline, what about you? Well,

62
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lot of starts right So

63
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: for me.

64
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: At least, I.

65
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: Had a corporate job. I was working in New York.

66
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: I got transferred to Los Angeles and then I got

67
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: laid off, which happens, and basically it was really the

68
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: my entrepreneurial journey. So it was a real low low

69
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: followed by a very high high. But essentially I started

70
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: my first company when I was twenty three, and that

71
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: company I made so many mistakes.

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to run a business.

73
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: I learned so much and basically started to want to

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 5: foster community of other women who were going through the

75
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: same entrepreneurial struggles that I was going through. Hence Create

76
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 5: and Cultivate, which started, as you know, just fifty women

77
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 5: in a room having a conversation and now is obviously

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 5: a massive media platform and we host events like all

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 5: over the country for thousands of women. So I think

80
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 5: it's just about you know, and we were just talking

81
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 5: about this in our mentor session, but really going where

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: the momentum is, you know, and seeing where that momentum

83
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: is taking you and where it's pulling you, and then

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: paying attention to it and then.

85
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Treating it like a business. Deana, what you got?

86
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 6: I would say that I got my start well, I

87
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 6: was in fashion show production for a very long time

88
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 6: and it was a friend of mine that kind of said, hey,

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: I don't think you're utilizing your skill set to the

90
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 6: utmost potential. And from there I kind of did a

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 6: lot of soul searching and a lot of understanding that

92
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 6: I've always had this passion for storytelling, but I wasn't

93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 6: utilizing it in the right industry.

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 7: And that's how I got my started with art. And

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 7: from art it's been able.

96
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 6: It's been able to like connect me with different people

97
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 6: and be able to open up that platform of mental

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 6: health awareness and to be myself, and to also have

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 6: an audience where we can relate and be able to

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 6: talk about topics that really have a really bad stema

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 6: right now. So being able to open up those doors

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 6: and have that conversation all through art has been I

103
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 6: would say, the gratifying moment, but also the start of

104
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 6: many other things.

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: Lauren, Oh my god, I always say this.

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 7: The first word on a microphone is so scary.

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: Every time.

108
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: Every time I hear my own voice, I'm like, this

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: is what I sound like. It never gets not never,

110
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: never for me.

111
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 8: I actually got my start it was my last year

112
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 8: of college. So I was in college studying marketing and

113
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 8: business and I had a day job at a club,

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 8: and I was just like as kind of a hobby

115
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 8: as a passion on the side, and I was doing

116
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 8: it for about a year and then and then the

117
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 8: club was closing, so I had a choice to make

118
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 8: whether I wanted to continue on and get a new job.

119
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 8: And in nightlife, like clubs open and clothes all the time,

120
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 8: it's really just part of culture, and people kind of

121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 8: bounce around from like one club to the new one

122
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 8: that's opening. And I had to make the decision, am

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 8: I going to go where there's another secure job, or

124
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 8: do I take this moment to you know, start a

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 8: new path for real and just kind of go for it.

126
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: And I gave myself six months.

127
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 8: I was like, you know what if I'm not making

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 8: ends meet and living comfortably by six months, which like

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 8: I saved up in my mind enough to have like

130
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 8: my life okay. And I was like, yeah, if I'm not,

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 8: you know, comfortable in six months, then I'll just get

132
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 8: a normal job.

133
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: And I haven't had a normal job since. It's so funny.

134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: The other day I referred to like not having a

135
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: full time job as like my life right now, and

136
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: someone was like, do you understand you have a full

137
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: time job? It's just that you don't go to the

138
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: same office every day, and that's okay, right. You mentioned

139
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: that there was a time that you felt like it

140
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: was an utmost failure, and you said that I felt

141
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: like I was at the.

142
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Lowest of lows.

143
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: Oftentimes, as we've learned throughout this journey that we've been on,

144
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: failures happened to teach us lessons. So I would love

145
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: it if any of you would like to reflect on

146
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: maybe one of those times that really felt like the

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: lowest of low lows and how you managed to pull

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: yourself out of the hole.

149
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 8: So when that club closed and I was like I'm

150
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 8: going to do this, I was actually I was a

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 8: DJ for an artist and we were about to go

152
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 8: on a two month's tour. So that was my kind

153
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 8: of like, Okay, I can make this transition. This club

154
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 8: is closing and then I'm going to go do this.

155
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 8: And two weeks before the tour, he dropped me. So

156
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 8: I was like, Oh, there goes to my whole plan.

157
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 8: Is this a sign from the universe that like, I

158
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 8: shouldn't be doing this and what am I doing? Oh

159
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 8: my god, how am I going to make? You know,

160
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 8: make my life? And where am I going to go?

161
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: Now?

162
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 8: That was my my big jumping off point that I

163
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 8: had in mind, and my whole got my whole plan

164
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 8: just got thrown out the window.

165
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: So I was really really scared, and.

166
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 8: I just knew it could go one of two ways,

167
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 8: and like, either I just give up and give in

168
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 8: and go to my like safety plan B or I

169
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 8: really take this moment and this challenge as a time

170
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 8: to see how I function under stress, how I function

171
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 8: under pressure, what I can make in a situation where

172
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 8: I have nothing, and how I can motivate and inspire

173
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 8: myself when I'm kind of faced with like a big

174
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 8: obstacle of making a life for myself when I don't

175
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 8: have the resources that I thought I had.

176
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: I when I was a lawyer, it.

177
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Honestly I had.

178
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: I had the perception of failure and then my own

179
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: my own personal failure.

180
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: So when I left my law.

181
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: Firm, the ic and the chatter was like, how I

182
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: don't get it, Like you're leaving to do what, Like

183
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: you're gonna run, but like you're not a professional runner

184
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: and you're gonna teach spin class, Like I don't understand.

185
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: So there was this perception of failure that I didn't.

186
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 3: It didn't resonate with me like I knew I was

187
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: gonna rocket. But then when I had so many stumbling blocks,

188
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, maybe what theyre's maybe that storytelling

189
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: is my own. So I had to be able to

190
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: put myself as the superhero of my story and the one.

191
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: So now I am vper fitness programming and head instructor

192
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: at Peloton. It's a connected fitness company. We have over

193
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: one point four million members worldwide. But when I had

194
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: my first audition at a competitor to teach spin, they

195
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: told me that I just didn't have it. And you

196
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: know what I didn't at the time. I sucked. I

197
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: didn't have the musicality. I could barely pedal and breathe

198
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 3: and talk at the same time. But what you will do,

199
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: what you must do. So I left there saying, nobody's

200
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: ever gonna tell me not to that again. And then

201
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: I worked my ass off teaching to one person in

202
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: a spin class at a local studio and Union Square

203
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: who would take a chance on me. Then I read

204
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: an article six months later about John Foley and Peloton,

205
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: and I emailed him and I said, our visions are aligned.

206
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: Four days later, I had a job, So it was

207
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: the rejection that ended up being the catalyst for me

208
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 3: to actually learn exactly what I needed to learn. So

209
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: for me, I find such fuel in the perception of

210
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: failure because I mean, we just eat that for breakfast

211
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: and learn from it and keep going and go.

212
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: You know, snaps from Diana Dianna talk to me about failure.

213
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 6: So I had a situation with the client where I

214
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 6: did everything. I dotted my eyes, I crossed my t's,

215
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 6: and I provided the final product to the client, and

216
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 6: the client just went off in the sense of I

217
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 6: understand why I hired you your value, like why do

218
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 6: people really like pay this? And I handled it as

219
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 6: professional as I could, because at the end of the day,

220
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 6: I am a brand, I'm a person, and respect and

221
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 6: morality to me is like priority.

222
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 7: So I told her that's fine, we handle our differences.

223
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 6: But what that taught me is that I'm not going

224
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 6: to be everybody's cup of tea. And once I was

225
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: able to kind of like unlock that kind of mentality,

226
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 6: that was a moment that made me feel that I'm

227
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: going to express myself however I want to, and those

228
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 6: that do support me and do understand where I'm coming from.

229
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 6: Those are the people that I want to talk to

230
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 6: and collaborate with and work with. Everybody outside of that

231
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 6: doesn't matter, So that that is what kind of helped

232
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 6: me understand failure and accepting it. And besides, no success

233
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 6: story is told without a sense of failure. So I

234
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 6: love failure. We eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

235
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: You can't go up from there, only go up from there. Jack,

236
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 2: Then any hard stuff you got for me.

237
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I talked a little bit about it,

238
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: but I would say I think that's exactly right. I mean,

239
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 5: as an entrepreneur, like I always say, you'll have your

240
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: highest highs and your lowest lows. And sometimes that's like

241
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: within the same hour you get a good email, you

242
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 5: get a bad email, Like all day long, you're just

243
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: kind of dealing with it. And I think the reality

244
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: is is that resiliency is required to be in any

245
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: of our positions. You have to be able to learn

246
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 5: how to take failure, grow from it, learn from it.

247
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 5: And I think at this point it's like I'm professionally failing,

248
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 5: Like I just like learned to deal with it and

249
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 5: I can just do it and move on from it.

250
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 5: And kind of grow in those different ways. But I

251
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: think if you think everyone's just killing it all the time,

252
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 5: you're wrong. Like we're all learning and growing and failing.

253
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: I love it, and I love like there's so many

254
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: pull quotes already from this conversation and we've been sitting

255
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: here for like fourteen minutes. Maybe also, of course, your

256
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: your words are on the walls around us right now,

257
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: so you have the opportunity here to give this audience

258
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: and then of course the hurdle audience as well. So

259
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: much inspiration. When you reflect right now on your career

260
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: so far, can you recall any specific advice that you've

261
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: been given, any mantras or words of wisdom that have

262
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: really empowered you to level lot.

263
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 6: I would say a friend of mine told me, build

264
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 6: it and they will come. And so a lot of

265
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 6: times I'm always asked how did I get my start

266
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 6: or how did brands start to really pick up on

267
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 6: me as Covo? And that was because I always represented

268
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 6: myself to the fullest, and everything that you see from

269
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 6: me is an exact representation of me as an artist

270
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 6: and as an individual. And I feel like that is

271
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 6: something that we often need to learn, is that we

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 6: need to put ourselves first and then the client will follow.

273
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: Something that my mom told me growing up. I grew

274
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: up in a Cuban and Puerto Rican household. My mother

275
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 3: is a Cuban refugee, strong Latina energy, and you know,

276
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: she came to the United States really needing to leverage

277
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: her difference while also acclimating.

278
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: And she told me stay weird.

279
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 3: And now that that little adage is so such an

280
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: anchor to what I do every day because I find

281
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: if anybody's ever been called extra or too much or

282
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: a lot or passionate, that's your superpower. That is what

283
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: you are going to show the world is your difference.

284
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: And it was realizing that my mom, you know, in

285
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: a jovial way, saying stay weird now is my business plan.

286
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: So just remember that, like you've been too much for someone,

287
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: you're going to be just right for somebody else.

288
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: What do you got for me, either of you?

289
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm like I forget you've got something right.

290
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: Give me some info about a mantra or a person

291
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: that has been extra inspirational for you, that has kind

292
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: of helped you come into your power as an entrepreneur.

293
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 8: A friend of mine, bless you a friend of mine

294
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 8: has been blessed you again in the in the industry

295
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 8: and creative space for you know, fifteen twenty years, and

296
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 8: he just made it so clear to me that you

297
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 8: have to be ready to and okay with evolving and

298
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 8: really know when to do that. And I think that's

299
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 8: so important, just even in personal lives, to pause and

300
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 8: check in with yourself and be like, is what I'm

301
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 8: doing right now as a person, as a business, as

302
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 8: a brand, bless you? Is that authentic to me? Is

303
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 8: that fulfilling me? Is that you know, is this the

304
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 8: right point in my path where I should shift or

305
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 8: am I going to keep going? And I think a

306
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 8: lot of times people and brands and you know, businesses

307
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 8: don't realize when it's time to evolve, and they get

308
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 8: stuck or they get lost, or their message is it

309
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 8: doesn't hit me more, it's it doesn't feel right anymore

310
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 8: because it's not authentic to who they are anymore. And

311
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 8: especially when you're you know, an artist or doing something creative,

312
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 8: you really have to be presenting your most authentic self.

313
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 8: And your authentic self is going to change a bunch

314
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 8: and like you know, people are changing their careers like

315
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 8: you that moment you went from being a lawyer to this, Like,

316
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 8: that's a huge evolution, and I think everyone needs to

317
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 8: really take that second to check in and be like,

318
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 8: is this what I want and stand.

319
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: For right now? And if it's not, be okay with

320
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: changing it.

321
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 5: I got to interview Martha Stewart when back in May

322
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 5: at one of our criton Cultivate conferences, and one of

323
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 5: the questions it was amazing and I got to ask her,

324
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 5: you know, different questions. One of the questions I asked

325
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: was have you ever experienced imposter syndrome? And she basically

326
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: said I don't even know what that is and neither

327
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: should you. And I was like, God, I gotta get

328
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,479
Speaker 5: on Martha's level, Like it was amazing.

329
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: She's like, what is that? What I was like, Okay,

330
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: never my next question. But I love that moment. I

331
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: love it too.

332
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: I Mean, a big theme that we're hearing up here

333
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: is authenticity, right, And I think a question that I

334
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: get a lot from my listeners is you talk about

335
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: being your authentic self all the time, But how is

336
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: it that I really home in on who I am?

337
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: It's like we're so influenced every day, you know, the

338
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: highlight reel that is Instagram, walking around on the streets,

339
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: seeing billboards, and just being so flooded with imagery of

340
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: who maybe we are told we should be. So for

341
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: someone that is struggling to figure out how to be authentic,

342
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: what advice or inspiration would you provide them, maybe something

343
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: that worked for you when you were trying to home

344
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: in on what your values are.

345
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 8: Get off of social media, turn it off, turn it off,

346
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 8: stop looking at Instagram, stop being on printers, stop everything,

347
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 8: and take a moment for yourself to really check in.

348
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 8: Because and that's something that like, I really learned this

349
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 8: from some of my musician friends. When they're getting ready

350
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 8: to make a new album, they don't listen to any music.

351
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 8: They don't listen to anything because they don't want to

352
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 8: be influenced by anything. They want to really make something

353
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 8: that's true to them and that moment and sounds that

354
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 8: resonate with them. And I think as people like, it's

355
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 8: so easy to just absorb what's around us, and yeah,

356
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 8: we're all you know, picking and choosing from things that

357
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 8: we like and that makes us who we are. But

358
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 8: I think when we're so like just bombarded with content

359
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 8: all the time.

360
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 7: And seeing like what's popular, what's getting the most engagement,

361
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 7: and like all these things are thinking it's so dangerous

362
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 7: and it's so easy to drift away from who you are,

363
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 7: and you have to make like a concerted effort to

364
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 7: flex the muscle.

365
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 8: That is, like your core, so that you know what

366
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 8: you stand for, what you like, what you love, what

367
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 8: you want people to think of when they see, what

368
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 8: you want them to feel when they walk away after

369
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 8: speaking to you, whatever, Like it's so important to just

370
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 8: keep that tuned in.

371
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: Someone to piggyback on that.

372
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 5: Someone once told me, you know, racehorses race with blinders

373
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 5: for a reason, and I thought that was so interesting.

374
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 5: So if you're building a business, if you're you know,

375
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 5: want to be a content creator, whatever you're doing, is

376
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 5: like you have to focus on what you're doing, stop

377
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 5: looking at everyone else, like the highlight reel that we're

378
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: talking about. But at least for me, I always go

379
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 5: back to the mission, Like at the end of the day,

380
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 5: it's like our mission at Creatin Cultivate is to entertain

381
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: and light and inspire women to go out and create

382
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 5: and cultivate the career of their dreams. If we get

383
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 5: a really amazing offer from a company and I'm like,

384
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 5: oh my god, that's awesome. Wait does that tie back

385
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 5: to that mission? You have to always go back to it?

386
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 5: And that's personally and professionally right, like what do you

387
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 5: stand for? And like you can get all these shiny,

388
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 5: amazing objects thrown in your face, but if you just

389
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 5: tie it back to that, does it hit those three

390
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 5: things for us?

391
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: And we say no, Yeah, I love that.

392
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: I developed a hustler's oath when I was leaving my

393
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: law firm and I wrote on a post it note,

394
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: do epic shit, and I put it on a mirror

395
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 3: and that became my north star. And I didn't know

396
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: how I was going to do it, but it had

397
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: to be epic and that is how I filled my

398
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: days and that is what informed my dreams.

399
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: And dream is a verb, but you only know where to.

400
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 3: Go with that if you have a mission statement and

401
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: so kind of that hustler's oath is identifying what you

402
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: want more than you fear it?

403
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: What do you want more than the fear?

404
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the

405
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: fact that if you step into your body, you will find.

406
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 4: Your voice, if you step into your physical power.

407
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: For me, it was a pair of running shoes, running

408
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: through trauma and running through all kinds of stuff. I

409
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: would have found the courage and the confidence knowing that

410
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: I will live through any discomfort and I will speak

411
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: my truth even when my voice shakes. So I would say,

412
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: write down your hustler's oath and then move move. Movement

413
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: is fertilizer for the brain, and baby, it makes a powerful,

414
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: powerful statement.

415
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 7: How am I gonna supposed to like follow?

416
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 4: We're going running after this.

417
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 6: I'm ready when you are ready. I would just say,

418
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 6: put the fun back into it, like be a kid.

419
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: Like we live in a society where it just feels

420
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 6: so claustrophobic and so stuffy that we often just forget

421
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 6: that the fun of our craft and the love of

422
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 6: our crafts, and what happens when you just get lost

423
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 6: in it, you enjoy yourself. I feel like that's helped

424
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 6: me along the way of trying to bring a story

425
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 6: and being my true self and bring a voice into

426
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 6: the social platform. Is that I'm just having fun and

427
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 6: I'm doing whatever makes me happy. I get lost in

428
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 6: my craft, and even though I'm twenty nine, I still

429
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 6: feel like I'm a kid. And that's because I keep

430
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 6: forefront and love and craft at the forefront of everything

431
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 6: that I do.

432
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 2: We also, I mean, you guys just mentioned times that

433
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: you leaned away from social media, but there is an

434
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: undeniable power that comes with the opportunity to connect with

435
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: so many people, a lot of them like minded, especially

436
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: when they're seeking you out. So are there any highlights

437
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: or instances that you want to rap about when it

438
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: comes to you know, the benefits of cultivating such a

439
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 2: beautiful community, either on your personal feed or with your business.

440
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 6: Honestly through art, being able to connect with somebody on

441
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 6: a level that where we don't have to say much

442
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 6: like a lot of times I get people that reach

443
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 6: out to me and they tell me how ma are

444
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 6: has impacted them, especially in the mental health space. That

445
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 6: to me is just the biggest takeaway to note that

446
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 6: my space is safe and you're welcomed into it, and

447
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 6: we're able to have this conversation that oftentimes gets turned

448
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 6: away and not wanting to be talked about. I think

449
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 6: opening up that platform and being able to share those

450
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 6: intimate experiences and moments with people that I don't even

451
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 6: know is the biggest gratifying feeling that I've had so far.

452
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Jacqueline, I think of you like your entire

453
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: mission is creating conversations.

454
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 4: So like, how does social media thread into.

455
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: The live event experience? Is an extension of the conversation. Yeah,

456
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: Robin sa, I know, I love it. I love it.

457
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I'm gonna head out.

458
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, but genuinely curios, I mean, I love it. So

459
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: it's really amazing because I always say, like, I have

460
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 5: the best job in the world because like after conferences

461
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 5: and things like that, I get letters, like true letters,

462
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 5: like physical letters from people about their experiences and what

463
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 5: they've learned from Criton Cultivates. A good example is, you know,

464
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 5: we we go out, we do panels, we have talks,

465
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: we do things like that, but like, you know, I

466
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 5: get to meet people, but I don't get to see

467
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,239
Speaker 5: the after effects. And I met this girl. She came

468
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 5: to another one of our events, and she said, I

469
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: went to the Atlanta Creton Cultivate conference. I heard someone speak.

470
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 5: I heard them speak about negotiating salaries. She's like, and

471
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 5: I went into my work on Monday and negotiated my salary,

472
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: got the raise, did all the talking points, and like

473
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: now I'm like executive producer at this like local news station,

474
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: and I was like, boom, there it is and it's

475
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 5: that story over and over and over again. But it

476
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: takes that confidence, it takes that connection, It takes that

477
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: moment to say I can do this on a micro level,

478
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 5: you know, and then on the macro level social media,

479
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 5: you know, reaching on hundreds of thousands people, But what

480
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 5: does that actually mean? And it's like those little little

481
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 5: stories that connect people that you start seeing these And

482
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: that's what I always say, is like, you know, the

483
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 5: whole point of Creighton Cultivate is community. Right at the

484
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 5: end of the day, it's women helping women. It's women

485
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 5: supporting women, whether it's you're getting that raised, whether you're

486
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 5: raising ten million dollars, whatever it is, it's women just

487
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 5: saying one, you can do this, or hey, here's ten

488
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: million dollars. Right, It's all the different little microactions that

489
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 5: make the larger movement.

490
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: I love the idea of stitching the stories together because

491
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: for Peloton, we you know, we film from our studios

492
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: in New York City, but we broadcast to bikes and

493
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 3: our app and tread treadmills all over the world. So

494
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: seeing member testimonies of things of their aha moments, those

495
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: micro moments. I mean that is confidence that you cannot purchase,

496
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: like we are not going to Amazon Prime. A new

497
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: life and confidence and Beyonce level swagger.

498
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 4: We got to earn that shit.

499
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: And I see it little by little every day, just

500
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: chipping away at that inner critic via the method. You know,

501
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: the entry point being a spin class or you know,

502
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: a yoga class or a meditation moment. And the testimonies

503
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 3: that we see on social media are almost that engagement

504
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: is I find it in honor.

505
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't always scale.

506
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: You can't always respond to every comment, you can't always

507
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: you know, respond to every DM, but it is an

508
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: honor to be part of that conversation and the ecosystem

509
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: that we've created, and I'm sure you get you feel

510
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 3: the same is an absolute honor. And I do engage

511
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: in response in social media with a responsibility to hold space,

512
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: to create a container for those conversations to maintain, to continue,

513
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: and to elevate.

514
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 8: I'm just like, going after you isn't everything you say past,

515
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 8: but one thing for me is like across the board,

516
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 8: just when it comes to my brand and personality and everything,

517
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 8: we've talked a lot about just being authentic and being ourselves.

518
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 8: And I think there's such a responsibility when you have

519
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 8: a voice in a platform, especially on social media.

520
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 3: To do that.

521
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 8: And you know, I have, I have my music career

522
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 8: and all that stuff that I share, and I have

523
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 8: like a charity where I teach women how to DJ

524
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 8: and all these things. But one thing that has stood

525
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 8: out the most for me especially was this question about

526
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 8: social media, because I'm forgetting Now.

527
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: You're doing great, yeah yeah, okay, we're talking about how

528
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: it's been a positive Okay, cool, yeah, great, yeah good.

529
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 8: But one thing that I do is like, I'm very

530
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 8: out and open about being an LGBT woman of color,

531
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 8: and I think especially like also both my job, like

532
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 8: I'm a DJ and I'm producer, and that's definitely like

533
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 8: a super duper misogynistic, male dominated space. So I feel

534
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 8: like I have such a responsibility to be like, hey,

535
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 8: very loudly, I am like this person with these you know,

536
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 8: identity facets that doesn't really exist, like that doesn't really

537
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 8: exist as much and in the space. So I try

538
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 8: to really make conversations with people that care to listen

539
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 8: about how they can really feel empowered in who they

540
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 8: are if they're maybe their identity isn't something that they

541
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 8: see often represented. So one thing that I do, like

542
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 8: every year on Coming Out Day is I just open

543
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 8: up my DMS and I'm like, to anybody who needs

544
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 8: to come out and they don't feel like they have

545
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 8: a safe space to do that, I'm listening. I'm here,

546
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 8: and you know, every year, just like hundreds of people

547
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 8: coming out with crazy stories from all over the world

548
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 8: and they're just like, I'm terrified to tell my family

549
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 8: or like, you know, some story, and they just like

550
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 8: needed to tell somebody, and to be able to have

551
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 8: that space and you know, be that for somebody and

552
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 8: hear their stories and be trusted with those things is

553
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 8: like so overwhelming for me.

554
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: So I think having stuff.

555
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 8: Like that and knowing that just being myself unapologetically can

556
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 8: actually help people feel okay being themselves is just like

557
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 8: it makes all the trolley comments and frustrate of things

558
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 8: online really worth it.

559
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: Wow, first of all, like, how beautiful is it that

560
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: you do that? A couple of buzzwords up here imposter

561
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: syndrome in our critic I once sat down with Robin

562
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: and she said something to me that's stuck, which was

563
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 2: do you speak to yourself like you speak to a

564
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 2: loved one, and it's like we are the person that

565
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: talks to ourselves the most in any given day. So

566
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 2: my question for you guys is when, of course, like

567
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: we are being so hard on ourselves as we do,

568
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: how is it that you pivot that conversation. How do

569
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: you take those negatives that seep in no matter what,

570
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: no matter how many positive affirmations we tell ourselves every day,

571
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: how do we spin that into being a positive and

572
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: then take that frustration and make it something positive and

573
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: something productive.

574
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 4: Well, the mirror back there actually has my tactic.

575
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: So there's a there's an inscription on that mirror back

576
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 3: there that says, I am a bad bitch because I

577
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: list every time I yeah, it's yeah, it's like a

578
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: big splicit not sorry.

579
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 4: So you know that is my tactic.

580
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: Literally, I when I when I was petrified of of

581
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: racing ultra marathons and feeling like I needed to show

582
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: up as myself and I never ran track, and I

583
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: was allergic to, you know, exercise my entire life.

584
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 4: I would literally forged notes to get out of gym class.

585
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Totally illegal.

586
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: Don't do that on my mom's like medical pad.

587
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: But when I was petrified before race day for ultra marathons,

588
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: I would look myself in the mirror and bang on

589
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: my chest and tell myself I was a bad bitch

590
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: until I believed it.

591
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: And sometimes you just have to get into that frame

592
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: of mind.

593
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: And for me, I was able to kind of get

594
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: outside of myself for long enough to feel like, what

595
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: would the most optimal version.

596
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: Of you say to you right now?

597
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: And then I always ended up at the same question

598
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: why not me?

599
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: Like why not me? Why not? Why not you? So

600
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: that is my tactic.

601
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 8: I had a pretty hard time like years back, maybe

602
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 8: a few years ago, where I really believed all the

603
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 8: things that I was saying to myself that were not

604
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 8: good and had had so many people around me who

605
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 8: were just like putting me down and made me feel

606
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 8: like I just I wasn't good enough, and I really

607
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 8: started to believe it, and I knew I had to

608
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 8: pull myself out of it, and I knew it was

609
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 8: my responsibility.

610
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: To get out of my own way.

611
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 8: So somebody told me an exercise to do, and they

612
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 8: said to write for ten minutes, write positive affirmations about yourself.

613
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 8: For ten minutes, write nice things about yourself and starting

614
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 8: that ten minutes was so hard. That was the hardest

615
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 8: and most emotional thing to be like, oh my god,

616
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 8: I can't write about myself for ten minutes. There's not

617
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 8: that many good things, like, there's not that many that's

618
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 8: a lot of writing to do.

619
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: And so I would get.

620
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 8: Like crazy anxiety before I started, because I just felt like,

621
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 8: a I couldn't even do that. And then I started

622
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 8: trying and I went for it. And at first it

623
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 8: was hard because I would be really thinking about it,

624
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 8: and then it started being so easy. I started just

625
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 8: going and I would like I would even repeat things.

626
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 8: I would write the same thing over and over and

627
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 8: over and over because I felt like I needed to

628
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 8: read that and write it and feel it and embody that,

629
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 8: and it just it became so easy after just doing

630
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 8: it over and over and over. And I think it's

631
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 8: you know, our brains are like computers, and sometimes they

632
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 8: get programmed to think certain ways and feel certain things,

633
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: and whether that's from trauma or our own insecurities, it's

634
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 8: just reprogramming. So for me, reprogramming was writing it. For

635
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 8: some people it's staying it in the mirror. For some

636
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 8: people it's meditation. It's like there's so many different ways

637
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 8: of doing that, but that for me really changed things,

638
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 8: and I felt so much stronger and I felt such

639
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 8: a huge shift in my self worth that after that,

640
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 8: it was like anytime somebody would say something, if.

641
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 7: I would read a mean comment or have somebody in.

642
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 8: The industry say something that was like discouraging for me,

643
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 8: it was literally laughable.

644
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Then I was like, you're wrong.

645
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: I want to pivot for just a second and ask

646
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: you a follow up then, and this can anyone really

647
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: can answer this.

648
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: But when we have those tough days, and.

649
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a string of them, maybe it's a week,

650
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: maybe it's a few weeks, how do you go about

651
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: handling that when you have a platform. Have you had

652
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: times where you're vocal about shit being hard? Have you

653
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: had times where you felt like you couldn't be because

654
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: people are relying on you for a source of strength.

655
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: I'm just curious to know how you've handled that in

656
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: a way that you feel has been helpful, maybe.

657
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: For your audience or maybe not at all.

658
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 8: I think for me at least, like I'm definitely vocal

659
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 8: when I'm going through a tough time where when I'm

660
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 8: feeling like a little down or lost or confused or

661
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 8: like I need it's time to evolve. How am I

662
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 8: going to evolve? I don't know, And like all these

663
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 8: processes feel like it's such a humanizing thing and it's

664
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 8: it's helpful for people because social media is such a

665
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 8: highlight reel. You don't see that, you don't see the

666
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 8: hard days, and for people to see that, it's more

667
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 8: empowering because those other people are like, man, I have

668
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 8: hard days too, and like if this person can go

669
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 8: through a hard day and still, you know, rise up

670
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 8: and have that whatever inspiration or control over themselves or focus,

671
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 8: like I can do that too.

672
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be all like butterflies and smiles forever. Jacqueline,

673
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: you mentioned having thirty plus employees.

674
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, do you have hard days?

675
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 5: I'm never guys, it's so easy, no, I you know,

676
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 5: back to your original question, I was saying, like, you know,

677
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 5: when you're the boss, no one tells you good job, right,

678
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 5: Like you have to be the one motivating. You have

679
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: to be the one like getting everyone on the same page,

680
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 5: getting everyone excited, aout stuff. So that's really you know,

681
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 5: it is lonely at the top. Like, that's a very

682
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 5: real thing. And I think at the end of the day,

683
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 5: I always say, you have to be your biggest hype

684
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 5: woman but also your toughest critic, because that's what will

685
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 5: push you forward. So you have to be hard on

686
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 5: yourself at the right times and then easier on yourselves

687
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 5: at the right times as well, because no one at

688
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 5: the end of the day is as invested as you.

689
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: It's going to care as much as you about your

690
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 5: business or your baby or whatever it is.

691
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: And you need to be the one on.

692
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 5: Those days when everyone else is down and not feeling

693
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: it or whatever it is, to be like we got this,

694
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 5: we got this, And that might be tough and you

695
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 5: might be lying, but that's okay. And I think just

696
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 5: making that space for yourself to be okay with that.

697
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 5: Like you know, I have my own little like boss

698
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 5: support group. We have like our own little like message

699
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 5: where we're like.

700
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: How would you handle this? What would you do with this?

701
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 5: And you need that because it really is, like you know,

702
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 5: it can be really lonely at the top.

703
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: For sure. For sure. Do you have anything to add

704
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: either of you?

705
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 7: I mean, my recipe is very simple.

706
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 6: I grew up boxing my father like he would tell

707
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 6: me if I'm angry, box and so I did a

708
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 6: lot of boxing. But then I broke my wrists and

709
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 6: then that went out the window due to an accident,

710
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 6: not boxing what happened, So I couldn't I couldn't box anymore,

711
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 6: so I started running. I would do a lot of running.

712
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 6: I'm not the type to meditate because it's my mind

713
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 6: and I we have a really weird relationship. So I

714
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 6: couldn't meditate. So running became a meditation to me. And

715
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 6: then I can't run all the time. So right now,

716
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 6: my recipe for getting out of those moments of like

717
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 6: really bad inks is I blast Paramore and I have

718
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 6: a karaoke session until I feel like I can't sing anymore,

719
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 6: and then I feel better.

720
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: Is there any new Paramore music from the last.

721
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 7: I'm still listening to the rub.

722
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: If there is anything new, we don't want to know

723
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: about it, I respect that.

724
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: That's cool.

725
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So then let's talk about something a little bit

726
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: more recent, like the last four years. What would you

727
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: guys say has been something that has felt really monumental

728
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: for you within the last four or so. I'll I'll

729
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: allow you to you know, flex on the time parameters here,

730
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: but a recent success that has felt very personally fulfilling,

731
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: small orbit.

732
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be like I'll start on this one.

733
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 5: So I when I first started creating Cultivate, I started

734
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 5: a whiteboard list of all the brands I wanted to

735
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 5: work with and all the goals I wanted to accomplish,

736
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 5: and like on it was having a line at Target,

737
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 5: and I was like, that'll never happen.

738
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: It's fine.

739
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 5: We just launched a line at Target last month, so exciting.

740
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 5: It's a office supplies line. It was a dream come true.

741
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 5: We have end caps and Target. I took so many selfies,

742
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 5: but it's things like that I wrote it down. I

743
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 5: never thought in a million years, like you know, who

744
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 5: am I some random girl from Florida who had zero

745
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 5: connections to anyone in New York City who moved here

746
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 5: on a whim, And like you just have to think

747
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 5: about that, Like if I can do it, you guys

748
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 5: can do it. You just have to write it down,

749
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 5: put it out in the universe. And then you know

750
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 5: we were saying. I was like, stop asking what if?

751
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 5: Ask what's next?

752
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: I love the success success.

753
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 8: I got to play Coachella on like a main stage boom,

754
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 8: which was so cool. I was like, I would never

755
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 8: I never thought I would end up there, and I

756
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 8: was like, oh my god, I'm here, And it was.

757
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 7: The same day as Beyonce Es.

758
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: Technically.

759
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: Technically, yes, Robin, talk to me about success. You know,

760
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: I'm really grateful of that. I've had amazing brand partnerships.

761
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 3: I'm so grateful for my position at Peloton the you know,

762
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: I'm I'm on the rocket ship and we're also just

763
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 3: like still refueling the rocket ship while it's in motion,

764
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 3: you know. So the hustle's real and I love it.

765
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: But one of my biggest, most recent successes is actually

766
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: quite personal. I took three weeks over the summer to

767
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: freeze embryos with my husband, and it because my job

768
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: is so physical and I am pretty much a professional athlete,

769
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 3: you know, a paid to sweat it.

770
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: It was I was.

771
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: Nervous about having that conversation with Peloton. I was nervous

772
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 3: about being public with that for my audience. That's something

773
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 3: quite quite personal, and instead I was super public with it.

774
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 3: Of Course, my husband, who's sitting in the front row

775
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 3: in a handsome blue suit, is you know, was super

776
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: supportive and I didn't know how that process was going

777
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 3: to go. I didn't know how it would affect me

778
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 3: personally and physically, and it just so happens that after

779
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: that three week period we had a really successful egg

780
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 3: retrieval and my first class back was one of the

781
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 3: most popular peloton rides of all time, which was a

782
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: Lizzo theme ride, and I was like, yes, I did

783
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 3: take that DNA test.

784
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm good.

785
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: So that was a very personal accomplishment that like, because

786
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: I am the brand and I my physicality is the art,

787
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 3: I didn't know how it was going to go, and

788
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: thankfully well.

789
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 6: So not to put her on blest, I will say

790
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 6: that despite all the partnerships that I've had, I will

791
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 6: say the most successful moment, like the most monumental.

792
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 7: Moment, is having a manager.

793
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 6: Because as a creative for the past four years, I

794
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: was doing all the adamin the negotiations, the contracts back

795
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 6: and forth, and then on top of that, I had

796
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 6: to deliver the creative that they were asking for and

797
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 6: a long time. I did that for a long time.

798
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 6: But having someone in your corner, someone that you feel

799
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 6: like you can be yourself with and be able to

800
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 6: expand opportunities and have someone that you can be like, yo,

801
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 6: this is going down, but they have your back one

802
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 6: hundred and ten percent. I felt like that was such

803
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 6: a proud moment for me because whatever happens next, I

804
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 6: know that I'm in good hands.

805
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 2: What would you say is another great piece of advice

806
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: or wisdom that you would love to offer other strong

807
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: women female entrepreneurs.

808
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: I will say, you know, don't ask to pick people's brain.

809
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: It's annoying and nobody has time for it. So instead

810
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 3: be of service, like offer.

811
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: Value even if you don't know what it is.

812
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 3: Like when I was a lawyer, I did so much

813
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 3: pro bono work for now people who are in the industry,

814
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: you know, creatives and and just editors at magazines like

815
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: I did. I was just like, how can I help you?

816
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: I have this time and I know I have a

817
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: legal brain.

818
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: What do you need?

819
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: And oftentimes they didn't even need anything, but it was

820
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: the offering of value that precipitated valuable conversations. So I

821
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 3: will say, let's stop the can I pick your brain

822
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: over coffee? Because nobody wants to receive that, Like we

823
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: barely want to receive that from our friends, so you

824
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: probably aren't going to get a good.

825
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 4: Audience when it's a total stranger.

826
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 3: So think, Okay, I admire this person, I respect this person,

827
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 3: they have knowledge, they have some kind of there's a

828
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 3: reason you're reaching out. So how can you look at

829
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 3: the other side of that and say, what can I

830
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 3: provide a value?

831
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: Because we all have value to add.

832
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 4: You just have to figure out what's the right.

833
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: In And it's like finding what's important to the people

834
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: that you're hoping to connect with.

835
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: Right.

836
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: I sat down with a man by the name of

837
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 2: de Murphy and he is an owner of five to

838
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: four Group in LA and he has a run club

839
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: with one of his brands and they meet every Saturday

840
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: out of right near where cycle houses in West Hollywood.

841
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: And he says, when.

842
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: People want to speak with me, they can come to

843
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: run club.

844
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: I will be there.

845
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: You want my time, you can run with me. And

846
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 2: that's how he doesn't And I think it's like a

847
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: brilliant way to like, if you're interested in this person,

848
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: like find a way to connect with them that gets

849
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: you on their level.

850
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: What other advice do we got?

851
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 8: I think being a creative and not having management or

852
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 8: representation is something that a lot of people deal with

853
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 8: once starting out, you're in and alone, and especially being

854
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 8: a woman, like we all know, negotiating as a woman

855
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 8: is a whole challenge in itself. So one thing that

856
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 8: I did, and like I host, I host these DJ

857
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 8: workshops for women, and we also talk about this because

858
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 8: this is a huge thing in that business is fake

859
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 8: the manager be a fake manager. I made a separate email.

860
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 8: Her name was Denise. Denise was a bitch. Denise got

861
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 8: me paid, Denise got me flights taken care of, you know.

862
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 8: And and the funniest thing is my first agent finally,

863
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 8: like when I first first got representation, her name was Denise,

864
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 8: somewhere to God. But really, having somebody else to be

865
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 8: a buffer, someone else to be the bad guy, someone

866
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 8: else to be the bitch, is so helpful because then

867
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 8: you're not worrying.

868
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 7: About like, oh my god, are they gonna like me?

869
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: Are they my worth?

870
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 8: Like how do I demand like my value to this

871
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 8: person who doesn't know me. When I'm starting out and

872
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 8: you know that I'm in a field that's not like

873
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 8: here's my degree for this job, pay me for it.

874
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 8: So having somebody else to kind of be that front

875
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 8: for you is so helpful. And also you can make

876
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 8: a Google Voice phone number for your fake manager.

877
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 2: And for yourself, like never give out your cell phone information.

878
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a straw.

879
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: I learned that the hard way to Yeah, Google Voice

880
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 2: is magic, magic, jacklum, what advice do you got for me?

881
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 5: Similar to this, but like, never take the first offer,

882
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 5: you know, always negotiate your worth. You might not get it,

883
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 5: that's okay, just never take the first offer. And I

884
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 5: would also say, you know, Robin's legal brain, but get

885
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 5: it in writing, be really strategic, take your creativity seriously.

886
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 5: You know, I think there's so many things in my

887
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 5: first company when I was first starting out that I

888
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 5: was just so excited that someone wanted to work with me.

889
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, like okay.

890
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 4: We'll get the contract, like let's go in, Like I'm

891
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: so excited.

892
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 5: And got burned so many times and in regers back,

893
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: you know, get a good lawyer, get a good friend

894
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 5: who does pro bono. But you know, I think it's

895
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 5: so so important. I have people email me all the

896
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 5: time like can I see your contracts? I'm like, I

897
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 5: got this big deal. I'm happy to share it. Spread

898
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 5: the well, like pay it forward. It always comes back

899
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 5: around to you. But i think it's so important to

900
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 5: take your creativity seriously, you know, don't take the first off.

901
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 6: I would say, like, from a freelance perspective, if you're

902
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 6: deciding to make that leads into freelance, create like a

903
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 6: six month to like twelve month plan of where you

904
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 6: save a certain amount of money, so that way you're

905
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 6: able to focus on what you're working on, versus to like,

906
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 6: how am I going to get the next check? Because

907
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 6: if you're focusing on the next check, then you're going

908
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 6: to find yourself doing jobs that don't align with you. You

909
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 6: don't love it, it's going to make you miserable. So

910
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 6: I would say, like, create a plan from six to

911
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,959
Speaker 6: twelve months where you save a certain amount of money,

912
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 6: and that way you can focus on your craft and

913
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 6: take it from there.

914
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: I love that.

915
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the best thing about what we're doing up

916
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: here tonight is just watching you all nod your heads

917
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: at each other.

918
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, exactly.

919
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: So I love that, which is pretty symbolic and indicative

920
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: that you guys are not only like minded, but a

921
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: good representation of the brand that you've chosen to work with.

922
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: So I'd love to just hear a little bit about

923
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 2: what is it that you feel so passionate about when

924
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 2: it comes to war when it comes to this brand,

925
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: and how does this partnership really showcase you as an individual?

926
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 3: Well, I mean as an athlete, this is the kind

927
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 3: of product that I seek out and I've had a

928
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 3: lot of not to be like but yeah, brands have

929
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 3: approached me, but the messaging didn't align. So for me,

930
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 3: the name says it all because I do believe that

931
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 3: I'm here on this planet to encourage people to roar louder.

932
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, cute, Okay, that works.

933
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: So I think the message behind what the brand is

934
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: trying to unlock directly correlates to how I live my

935
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: life and that makes me really proud.

936
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 5: Well, I was just gonna say, like, speaking of authenticity,

937
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 5: I mean, we're all here with you today.

938
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: You know this amazing crew of women.

939
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 5: You know, I think they are walking the walk and

940
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 5: talking the talk, which I think a lot of brands

941
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 5: try to play in these arenas and they just fail

942
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 5: because it's not authentic to who they are. And I

943
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 5: think the messaging is so on point in terms of

944
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 5: building confidence, finding your roar, and it's so timely. But

945
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 5: they also brought together a group of women who you know,

946
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 5: I've been lucky enough to work with in a lot

947
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 5: of ways, Like I've been following you forever, like she's

948
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 5: been on our Crank Cultivate one hundred list.

949
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: We're doing stuff with you.

950
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 5: So it's just like it felt so authentic to myself

951
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 5: and obviously what we're doing at Crane Cultivate, I.

952
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 6: Mean it's good, like or organic, it's really good. I've

953
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 6: had every flavor. My fridge is like stock to the

954
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 6: max with raor. But it's it's good for my body,

955
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 6: and I'm so conscious of what I put in my

956
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 6: body and that because what we put in our body

957
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 6: affects for mental health and all that. So for me,

958
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 6: it was because the product was great, but also the

959
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 6: synergy the.

960
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 7: Team was amazing.

961
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 6: Like the moment I walked on set is they were

962
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 6: just so thrilled and so positive and loving and accepting

963
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 6: that I just felt right at home. And I felt

964
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 6: like the message that's trying to drive home feels really

965
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 6: true and authentic, and it's here and it's in this

966
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 6: room right now, and that's something that I've always wanted

967
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 6: to be able to represent.

968
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 8: I'm just going to repeat the same thing, because I

969
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 8: feel like everyone's saying this is such a like authentic

970
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 8: thing to have this sort of campaign that's really like

971
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 8: focused on empowering women and you know, like it's not

972
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 8: just using a buzzword. I feel like so many brands

973
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 8: do that and they're just like, oh, feminism women, and

974
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 8: it's like all right, sure, but like what are you

975
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 8: really doing? And like for Roar to really map that out,

976
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 8: and I'm like, okay, how can we make an impact?

977
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 8: How can we really like have these conversations. I thought

978
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 8: that was incredible. Also, just working in night life and

979
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 8: traveling so much, like it's nice to have a drink

980
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 8: and like an item that is much healthier and not

981
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 8: just like.

982
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:05,959
Speaker 1: Alcohol all the time.

983
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 8: You know, like it's it's nice to have something else

984
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 8: and be like, oh that's good, Okay, cool, or maybe

985
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 8: I can mix up with myarticula.

986
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: That's fine, it'll balance it out, it'll balance it out.

987
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 8: But but yeah, it's it's nice to have something that

988
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 8: just like makes sense and that you feel really comfortable

989
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 8: representing yourself with, like across the board in all facets.

990
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: And I like the name. That's cute.

991
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 3: I love what I see, Like there's such a consistent

992
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 3: message that feeling good should not be a luxury, that

993
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: fueling well and organically should not be a luxury. And

994
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 3: all of our entry points to sitting here are so different,

995
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 3: but the through line is that we are trying to

996
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 3: send the message that, like, we don't have to sacrifice

997
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 3: how we feel for the products we use and the

998
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 3: brand partnerships that we dive into.

999
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, I love that. I mean, obviously it's an

1000
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: exciting time for raor. One of my favorite questions that

1001
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: anyone has ever asked me when I was catching up

1002
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 2: with them, it was Kirsty God. So she's an Ikey

1003
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: Master trainer, and she looked at me and she said.

1004
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: What excites you right now?

1005
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: And she was so serious, like just the way that

1006
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 2: she looked at me, and I was like, wow, I'm

1007
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: going to ask everyone I sit down with that question

1008
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: for the rest of my life.

1009
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: So, ladies, what excites you right now? Tell me my friendships?

1010
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 6: Like I love my friends and I love being able

1011
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 6: to have that safe space where I can just be myself.

1012
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 6: I feel like that really like drives me. So I

1013
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 6: would say, my friends, I say the election next year,

1014
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 6: let's do this.

1015
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 8: That's that's a little scary, I think right now for

1016
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 8: me just like evolution and the opportunity to shift, because

1017
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 8: I feel like I'm kind of in this place where

1018
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 8: I'm like in that restrategize, what do I really want

1019
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 8: to do? What's you know, all this tuning in stuff

1020
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 8: I was talking about, Like, I'm in that space right now.

1021
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 8: I'm so exciting to be like what's next?

1022
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: Where am I going? Now?

1023
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 3: You know what excites me most right now is seeing

1024
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 3: one person revolutions spark every day.

1025
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: I see people.

1026
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 3: Start to love themselves every day, and I love myself

1027
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 3: is a one woman revolution. So that's what it's excites

1028
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 3: me the most because there are ways that we're engaging

1029
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 3: in social media in these communities at Peloton, and it's

1030
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 3: like the finger snap is turning into a drum beat

1031
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 3: and I'm here for it.

1032
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: I dig it. Okay.

1033
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: So the way that I wind down my podcast, the

1034
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: way that we're going to wind down tonight. We started

1035
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: tonight by talking about what I affectionately call on the

1036
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: pod hurdle moments, those really tough times you have oftentimes

1037
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: when you're starting something big. Right So, right now you

1038
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to offer your younger self going through

1039
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: these hurdle moments. One piece of advice looking back on it,

1040
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 2: right now, what advice would you give yourself?

1041
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: Get out of your own way.

1042
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 8: I talked myself out of so many things because I

1043
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 8: felt like I couldn't do it. I wasn't good enough.

1044
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 8: I would fail, and I just put off the inevitable.

1045
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: I'd eventually do it.

1046
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 8: I just wasted so much damn time talking myself down.

1047
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 8: So just like, get over it and take the jump

1048
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 8: and do the thing. And if you fail, it's fine

1049
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 8: because you're either gonna like you're you're gonna land somewhere,

1050
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 8: so at least figure out where the hell you're gonna land,

1051
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 8: but like you're not gonna go anywhere if you're just

1052
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 8: standing still.

1053
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: So I would tell her that pain becomes power.

1054
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 2: I would say, start by, we'll preach it. Then Dianna's like, Jacqueline,

1055
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 2: you take this next. Was I was just gonna say

1056
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: start by starting.

1057
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I think you know, everyone talks a lot

1058
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 5: about doing stuff, but really you can have a good

1059
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 5: idea doesn't matter unless you execute on it.

1060
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 6: I mean, after wow, if that was very wow, I

1061
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 6: would say, I don't know if you guys read Eat, Pray,

1062
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 6: Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. But she said run is the

1063
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 6: road of transformation, and that's what I would tell my

1064
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 6: younger self that you're gonna go through. They're really nitty gritty,

1065
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 6: but I promise you at the end of it, it's

1066
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 6: gonna be well worth it.

1067
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: Amazing. Well, thank you so much.

1068
