220
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: And you know, but my mom wasn't the one who.

221
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: My mom barely went to PTA meetings. My mom, you know,

222
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: she was I was a latch ki kid and you know,

223
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,400

Speaker 3: Go to Hotiwood, you know, a dish. How much they pay?

225
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: And I'm like, they're not.

226
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: I just wanted, you know. So I didn't have that mom.

227
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: I wanted one of those moms. I didn't have one

228
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 4: of those moms. So but when she when I started

229
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: modeling in Japan when I was fourteen.

230
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: She saw that, oh you know, my daughter makes money.

231
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: Okay, so uh so yeah, so I left LA went

232
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: to Japan and became like a little J pop star

233
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: over there.

234
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: Before it was cool to be like any K.

235
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 5: Or J pop star, right yeah, now it's yeah now

236
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 5: like everyone knows, it's not just sort of isolated to Japan.

237
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: Who would have.

238
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: Thought, because you know, and so while my friends were

239
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 4: getting their driver's license and going to proms and stuff,

240
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, recording and on cour and

241
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: you know, and you know, hanging out with bon Jovi

242
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: and whatever. But anyway, I came back to LA and

243
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: uh after a stint over there, and I would go

244
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 4: back and forth and whatnot, and and I start it's

245
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: you know, when I first started out, like in the

246
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: in the nineties to really like do the Hollywood thing,

247
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 4: there was like four Asian actresses that you would see

248
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: over and over and over again.

249
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: Now there was like fourteen thousand.

250
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, and and I think there's another one of

251
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: us left from the original group.

252
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 3: You know that I see maybe you know, but.

253
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's like there's no plan B over here,

254
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 4: Like I don't have a plan B.

255
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 5: That's yeah, no, and that's not I don't know. I

256
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: don't even know if I have a plan age. Just

257
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: so that's where I wound up. You know, you're planning

258
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 5: darn good. Yeah, hey, you know, so I like to

259
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: stick with not planning anything and see where it goes.

260
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 3: Not too shity.

261
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,400

00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,479
Speaker 2: What was that Like? I've always been fascinated.

263
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: You know, the music industry is in some ways similar

264
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 5: but in some ways very very different from on camera

265
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: TV work.

266
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's sort of what was that experience like

267
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: for you?

268
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna say, probably the greatest job in

269
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: the world is rock star, but the second greatest job

270
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: is working on a multi camp Like well, that's yeah.

271
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 5: People always say that they're like multiicam sitcoms.

272
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,440

00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: it is really fun.

Speaker 3: Best job ever.

280
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, So I was over there and I and

281
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 4: I was seeing half the courses were in English and

282
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: the verses were in Japanese.

283
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know, the bridge from it.

284
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: You can be big in Japan, but you won't be

285
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,560

00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120

312
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: Like, now you're out so much.

313
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 5: It's a very it is a very it's a very

314
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 5: different experience. And I think being growing up in this

315
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 5: business is also very different than it was when we

316
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 5: were young.

317
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: You know.

318
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 5: It's I think there's even more demanded of you. Now

319
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 5: because there is that, you know, social media really wipes

320
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: away that existence of normal life and work life, Like

321
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 5: now your normal life is part of your work life

322
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 5: because you have to sell that as part of who

323
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 5: you want.

324
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: Like it's a whole. It's crazy. It's crazy, like there's

325
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: no off button anymore. And I think that's for.

326
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 3: Stage moms too. For stage moms.

327
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: I mean you're not only just driving, but now you're

328
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 4: doing social media right now.

329
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so involved. Yeah, my gods, really hard job.

330
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: My godsen is he does a lot of Nickelodeon CH's

331
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: his name is, oh yeah see, and Gary's Gary Busey's

332
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: And so you know, my best friend Stephanie is social

333
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: it's a.

334
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: Full time job. It's a full time job. Yeah, yep.

335
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: And it's very competitive on the stage mom sides too.

336
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

337
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 5: We were really lucky, like our moms were sort of

338
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 5: the best of both worlds in that our moms were like,

339
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: we love you, we support you, we will drive you there,

340
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: we will do whatever it takes, but we do not

341
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: want any of the attention. We do not like if

342
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 5: you don't want to do this anymore, cool, we won't.

343
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: Like there was.

344
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 5: Never at all about them wanting to do it, you know,

345
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: and so I think and that was also really I

346
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: think it was a big piece of why we kind

347
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: of turned out normal and why our show was so

348
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: family oriented because our parents were there as when we

349
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 5: were kids on that show and they were a part

350
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 5: of it too, you know.

351
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did.

352
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: I looked, and you guys did it one hundred and

353
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: ninety three episode.

354
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that is just full House.

355
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the eight seasons. I mean I heard

356
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: of now, and I don't.

357
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: Know, I didn't look to see how many like Fuller

358
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: House did, but it was four seasons.

359
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: Was it four seasons or five?

360
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 5: We did five seasons of Fuller, but it's Netflix seasons,

361
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: so they're thirteen to eighteen something like that or eight

362
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: to thirteen.

363
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: I don't know something.

364
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: I think we did seventy five total episodes of Fuller

365
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: throughout five seasons. So that's pretty good, now, you know,

366
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: that's pretty good.

367
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: For take it. Yeah, I'll take it.

368
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: I do remember. Yeah, it was just so nice to

369
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: be back. I mean, I wish there were more, you know, multicamps.

370
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: It was easy too, back on a multicamp and yeah,

371
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: you know, and being in front of that live audience

372
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: and getting that feedback.

373
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: And now when you came back to Fuller House, tell

374
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: us a little bit about how that came about, because

375
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,440

432
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 5: on both Full House and Fuller but as completely different characters.

433
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,080

00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

435
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,760

Speaker 4: did Full House and Fuller House.

437
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,720

443
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 5: which was fun because in Fuller we got to like

444
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: bring some of those fan favorite characters back.

445
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,120

00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: the fertility doctor you know, came from Tokyo where she

450
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: was an EMC and now she's she started.

451
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,520

453
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:12,720

Speaker 5: keep that creative spirit really intact, you know what I mean.

459
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 5: It's she wants to completely separate herself from it with

00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 5: all the science and stuff.

461

543
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: You know, before before it was I have played every

544
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: ethnicity from Latin to Vietnamese, to Chinese to Native American.

545
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 4: Whatever I can do to keep the work coming in,

546
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 4: I will morph into it. And but still, but I

547
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 4: still realized that there wasn't a lot of people writing

548
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 4: for Asian female narratives, right, and when it.

549
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: Starts people's experiences.

550
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, and as storytellers, you know that

551
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter what color you are whatever. What brings

552
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 4: us together is the commonality that we all have the

553
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 4: same struggles, we all want the same things for our kids,

554
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: we all you know, we all want to figure out

555
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: our purpose and our meaning of life, and we all

556
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 4: want great love and and so seeing so I you know,

557
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: I wasn't finding enough roles or auditions, right, I mean, there,

558
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 4: my concubine days are over and uh, my.

559
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: Engine new you know, and uh and I and I.

560
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: Played a lot of doctors, so but I really don't

561
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 4: do a whole lot of martial arts. So you know,

562
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: if I had a black belt, that probably would have

563
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 4: had a different trajectory.

564
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: But I just don't like being hit in the face.

565
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, most people don't.

566
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

567
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: I went to.

568
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: UCLA, got my screenwriting certificate, and I stent writing writing

569
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: projects and one passion project has been about Yoko Ono

570
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: and the telling of her story. And I did a

571
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: one woman show. I did a musical on all original music.

572
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 2: Oh wow wow.

573
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: And yeah.

574
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 4: So so just in trying to just create content that

575
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: was the underdog female Asian or narrative. And there's so

576
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 4: many stories to excavate. But that was one of the

577
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 4: reasons why I started the you know, I just want

578
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: to I just be in charge.

579
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: You like, I want to be the one that creates

580
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 5: the stories and not wait for other people to tell

581
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 5: me what story they want me to tell.

582
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 4: There and there's still so many more stories. I mean,

583
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: lou you think about I mean the Golden Globe last

584
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 4: year there was like twenty nine percent less you know,

585

Speaker 4: Asian or female directors.

Speaker 5: Females but yeah, I know we actually took a big

587
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 5: hit as far as a lot of the diversity within

625
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 4: Like you have to really spoon feed people. Now as

626
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 4: an actor, you also kind of have to be a

627
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: semi creator. You have to really spoon for people and

628
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: say this is I mean, look at Iron Lung.

633
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 4: are just breaking the glass ceiling everywhere. And you know,

634
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: even though we're being taken over by corporate America right here,

635
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: is that but we the artists that will never go away.

636
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 4: We have the voice, and we have to really use

637
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: that voice, I feel, and especially since you know we're

638
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: coming into the age of you know, female power.

639

641
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: business it takes.

645
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 5: things about it, Like you said, there's so much more.

646
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 5: There's ways for people to be successful and get access

647
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 5: into becoming you know, uh stars or television stars or

648

Speaker 5: music stars or whatever through social media and YouTube and

649
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: all this kind of stuff. But there's also it also

650
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,840

Speaker 4: you know, zooms and self tape. Yeah, there's been pros

656
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: and cons of that. I've been able to work a

657
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: lot more on the East Coast because I don't have

658
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,080

Speaker 5: So since the landscaping of all this has changed to

664
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 5: kind of wrap up with everything.

665
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: If you, if someone.

666
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 5: Was listening that wants to work in entertainment, what is

667
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 5: one thing that, like you wish you had known earlier

668
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 5: in your career that now you know that has made

669
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 5: it either not necessarily even more successful on the outside,

670
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 5: but like, what is something that you've learned from being

671
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: in this business that has really helped you on a

672
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 5: personal level to continue creating.

673
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 4: That is such a loaded question and emotional thinking about it.

674
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: You know, I did my first movie was I was

675
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: So Green.

676
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: I was So green, but I was I was cast

677
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: in a movie opposite Viego Mortensen in a movie called

678
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: American Yakuza, which.

679
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: You can watch for free on Amazon Prime.

680
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 4: But whatever it's, you know, And and I remember Vigo

681
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: was a man of so many few words, and he,

682
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 4: in fact, if he didn't like a line in the scrip,

683
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: he would just say, I can just say that with

684
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: a look.

685
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: I don't need to say these words, you know. And

686
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: he always said, one night we were wrapping and he

687
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: looked at me and.

688
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 4: He's like, don't let acting be everything? And I was like,

689
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: and I was like, I was one of those like,

690
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: you know, go to Samuel Franchis, and you know, acting

691
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: is everything.

692
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: Acting is everything.

693
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: But you know, you've got to have a life, right,

694
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: and you got it. And over the course of these decades,

695
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 4: I've really had to redefine what the definition of success is, right,

696
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 4: and that has been I'm still like coming to terms

697
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 4: with what, you know, I do ceminal minds, and I

698
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: know I've made it and I did pynal minds, and

699
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, I still.

700
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: Nobody knows that the hell I out, you know. But

701
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: but having.

702
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 4: Balance, you know, I think my life changed when I

703
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 4: started meditating every day, I think, you know, and and

704
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 4: writing and finding other just and this year my goal

705
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 4: was like, let's have more joy in this life. Let's

706
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 4: do things that bring more joy, because you know, I

707
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 4: get so like career driven, what can I do? And

708
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 4: I got to keep up with the tiktokies and the

709
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 4: you two b's.

710
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: And then you know, and and and but I think it's.

711
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm going off on a complete tangent because

712
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: that is essentially that's what we do here.

713
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: So please, this is a great answer. This is a

714
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: life coach right now.

715
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm surprised I asked such a coaching question.

716
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: What was your question?

717
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: Again that I don't.

718
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: Know, But you know, you as you get older, you

719
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: get wiser, and there's a lot of things that I'm like, oh,

720
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: I would, I could have should have. You know, I've

721
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: had self sabotaging moments. I've had, you know, done stupid

722
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 4: things and uh, you know, and I I I navigated

723
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 4: through the whole me too movement and you.

724
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: Know, and and and and now and but it's.

725
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 4: It's really I think it's it's it's knowing, knowing who

726
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: you are, what you love to do, and putting it

727
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: out there and and also having a realistic balance of

728
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: what what who are.

729
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: You as an artist? And what do you want to say?

730
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 4: And uh and and and having joy still doing it,

731
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 4: but not needing that external validation to give you and

732
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: tell you you're worth because that was the hardest thing,

733
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 4: you know.

734
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, for good advice, Such good advice. Don't put

735
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: all your eggs in the acting back.

736
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: Well, don't.

737
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: You can't let you can't let it determine who you

738
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 5: are in your the.

739
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: Totality of your life. It is, it's a piece of you.

740
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 5: It's a fragment of what you do and who you are.

741
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 5: But there is so much more to you that isn't

742
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: you know, for public consumption that you put into the world,

743
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 5: that is just as important, you know, but it is

744
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 5: That's something you don't learn unil youre a little older.

745
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: Because when you're younger, like I just want to be

746
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 5: famous and I want and then you get old, you're like, actually,

747
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 5: I think I success looks very different than than it

748
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 5: did when I was, you know, twenty five.

749
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you still meet people they're like, yeah,

750
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 4: like I'm gonna give it two years and you know,

751
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 4: and I'm like, good luck with that, Good luck with that.

752
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, because this.

753
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 4: Town is a funny way of really like sifting through

754
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 4: the diamonds in the dirt, right, and really you got

755
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 4: to be here for the long game.

756
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, do it for the long game. Be authentic and fearless,

757
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: right yeah.

758
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 4: And also have you know, you know, have have a

759
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 4: support group. I really love my female support group, the

760
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: way I surround myself with.

761
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: Great people, you know, because there's gonna.

762
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 4: There's a lot of curling up in the feudal position,

763
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 4: crying and the you know, the crying the corner that

764
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: I don't post on social media, but you know, and

765
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: I've had a lot of girlfriends talk me off the ledge,

766
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: you know. But you need that support system and you

767
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 4: need that sure whatever spiritual program you're doing, absolutely and

768
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 4: that and you know the the.

769
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta you gotta have all that.

770
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 5: You got all that place, and it creates some rooted

771
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 5: groundedness and some balance. And I think that's the most

772
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 5: important part is remembering like that your feet are attached

773
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 5: to the earth, and you are a human and you're

774
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 5: capable of good things and bad things, and then then

775
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 5: you just got to ride through it, you know.

776
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: And that makes you a better artist.

777
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 4: I think, Yeah, I life experiences.

778
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: And we talk about it all the time that you know,

779
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,279
