1
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Emily A Badi here you are listening to

2
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: five Minute Friday from Hurdle.

3
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: This week.

4
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been such a gosh chaotic time

5
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: as I've been prepping because I am about to really

6
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: kick off a whirlwind of being in and out of

7
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: New York. I'm headed to Budapest as you listen to this,

8
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: for the World Championships of Track and Field. I am

9
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: elited if you happen to be listening to this and

10
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: you will be in Budapest as well. I'm leading a

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: run on Sunday. I'm a little bit the details in

12
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the show notes to this episode. I would love to

13
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: see you there. But for the rest of you, which

14
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: is most of you, I want to talk to you

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: about looking at your surroundings a little more carefully. I

16
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: this week was sitting at my desk, and as you

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: know when I record, I have a bookshelf in back

18
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: of me. And on that bookshelf there are a fair

19
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: amount of books that I have started and admittedly not finished.

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: And I interviewed for the show this week Kelly and

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: Juliette Starrett, and Kelly has a chapter in Tim Ferris's

22
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: book Tools of Titans, All about mobility, which is his specialty.

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: He is a doctor of physical therapy.

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: We talked all about mobility in the episode that went

25
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: line of on Wednesday, So I highly encourage you to

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: check it out.

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: But I haven't picked up Ferris's book, which.

28
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: I own, in probably years, and so I made the

29
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: decision after talking to Kelly, to not only go read

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: his chapter, but then start to page through this book.

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: And if you've never Tools of Titans, it is a large,

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: large book. I'm literally paging through it as I'm talking

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: about it right now. There are basically seven hundred pages

34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: in this book. And the premise of the book is

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: it's all tactics and habits and routines from different people

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: that you've likely heard of before. Icons, world class performers, billionaires.

37
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: People in here including Brene Brown, Seth Godin, Jamie Fox,

38
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Joe Desina wim Hoff, Gabby Reese, you get the picture.

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: And as I was sitting here paging through this book

40
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: the other day, I stumbled on an exert from Sofia Amarusso,

41
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: who you may know from Girl Boss fame. She also

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: was the founder of Nasty Gal, and she once told

43
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Tim that she likes to make promises that she's not

44
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: sure that she can keep, and then figure out how

45
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: to keep them. And I read that and I realized

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: that I relate to that so much. Some of the

47
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: most challenging moments in my time over the last five

48
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: years of building Hurdle and figuring this all out as

49
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: I go have happened because I just said one day

50
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: that I was going to stop worrying about having all

51
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: of the right answers and begin beginning. Is frightening, right,

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: But when the show went from bi weekly to weekly,

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't like I had a ton of inventory. It

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: was more like, Okay, I know that I am in

55
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: a state of mind, a place, the position to get

56
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: it done. And so I knew I had the capability

57
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: and the only thing that was stopping me was me.

58
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: So one day I put it out into the world

59
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: and I said, next week, Hurdle is going to come

60
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: out on Monday, and the following week it's also going

61
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: to come out on Monday, and the next Monday and

62
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: the next Monday.

63
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: And before I knew it, that cadence that I.

64
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: Had given to all of you, that reasonable expectation of

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: when you could expect to see content from me I

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: knew I didn't want to let you down, and so

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: reading this viewpoint that sometimes I like to make promises

68
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: that I'm not sure that I can keep, but I

69
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: know that I'm the kind of person that won't let

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: people down. Right, I can know this to be true

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: and know that I don't have all the answers and

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: know that I will figure out a way to do

73
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: the thing that I have my mindset to, and it

74
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: brings me into my body right now as there are

75
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: some things within work, especially that I don't have all

76
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: of the tricks and tools that I might need to

77
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: get to these different milestones that I am seeking, these

78
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: different goals that I have in this moment. But what

79
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: I can do is trust my worth, trust my value,

80
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: write down the things that I know to be fact,

81
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: and by reading these things, seeing them in front of me,

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: I can feel more empowered to chase my big goals

83
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: despite not having all of the answers.

84
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: I really needed to read that this week.

85
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I really needed to be remind I did of my

86
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: own big potential and know that every time I've jumped

87
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: without the answers before, it's worked out just fine. My

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: question for you this week, what do you want to

89
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: put yourself out there for what's one thing in your

90
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 1: life right now that you are standing in your own

91
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: way from going after for probably no reason really at all.

92
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: One is one thing that you're after? And why do

93
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: you think you're holding yourself back? And now a listener question. Hey, Emily,

94
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I follow you on Instagram and I see that you're

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: always switching up your sneakers.

96
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: What would you say that you're wearing the most right now?

97
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: And why do you like it?

98
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: I do get the opportunity to try a lot of

99
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: sneakers this week, specifically, I am going to I'm going

100
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: to go.

101
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: With the on Cloud Monster. It came out last year.

102
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 1: I've been wearing it for everything from base mileage, super

103
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: easy runs to some quicker stuff actually just the other day,

104
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: and I think that the two things I like about

105
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: it the most. One is it's a high cush I

106
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: really love the way that feels.

107
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: And two, I actually really.

108
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate the thin tongue and the upper My feet gets

109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: so so hot in the summer and right now it

110
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: has been a real feel of way too high over

111
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: the last week or so in New York, So I

112
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: would say it's a combo of both of those things.

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: A lot of cushion, A thin upper that feels really comfortable,

114
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: lets my feet breathe, and keeps me good to go.

115
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following along with hurdle over on social
