Like as there's an eight, 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.040 there's a frequency here of eight or four. It's like 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.640 some one person said to force my number, so you 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.840 know I'm double four, you know, yeah, so make it 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:31.480 work for you. 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.720 Obviously it takes I just don't want to take Suki's 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:35.680 picture off my phone. 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.200 Well why why wouldn't you right, It just makes me happy. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.240 I'm right now at it or baby Yeah, no, I'm 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.720 not betting on there, but I love that people do.

So we're going to unpack that a 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.280 little bit more today. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.520 Yeah, I love that. I it's you know, how you 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.760 show up. So that's number eight. That would you know 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:11.120 chanel number eight or school number eight? You know. I 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.920 let's just go back a little bit. So let's do 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.760 a little history here and talk about a lot of 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.239 the advice that people have been given for the workplace 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:27.200 and also what some workplaces have done to support their employees. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.960 And you know, I have been a very vocal hater 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.440 of the book Lean In by Cheryl Sandberg. And it's 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.200 not that I dislike Cheryl. It's just that when you 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:45.160 because like we've had so much noise, right and change 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.040 through through the generations that it's kind of hard to 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.280 keep up with all the wants and needs and desires 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.720 and who who do you need to show up to 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:57.200 be Like if you're you know, a generation exert like myself, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.520 do you show up trying to be cool like the 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:06.280 millennials and disease? No, you don't. That's your answer if 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.040 that's what you worry about. My problem with the lean 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.040 in was if you lean in all the time, you're 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.200 a dick. That's my answer to her book, Like I 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.440 should write, you lean in all the time, you're a dick. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.000 That's a telephony book, because you shouldn't always your voice 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.360 doesn't always have to be heard, you know, it just 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:28.120 it doesn't. 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:34.200 It's correct, that's correct, And it's not that she needs 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.680 me to defend her in any way. But but I think, yes, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.680 lean in was a moment in time, and after that moment. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.800 I agree, and I also think, I mean, that's some 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.120 of the work advice. But I also think when we 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.120 start seeing patterns of what's happening in the country and 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.240 in the world, is that everybody thinks that all thoughts 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.000 that they have in their head must come out of 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.360 their mouth, and whether it comes out of their mouth 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.320 or they tie but on a keyboard. And that's also 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.600 not the workplace y'all. The workplace does not ask your 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:12.400 opinion about world events. Your workplace does not care. That's 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.080 not why you are there. And I think it's putting 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.599 into perspective about the balancing. You know, Listen, you have 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.800 the choice, right you can go to work and be 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.280 who you are and maybe you're an asshole. Well you're 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.080 not going to have that job for long. But there's 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.080 this whole movement of you know, be who you are 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.680 authenticity and it's like, yeah, of course, but you always 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.680 have to remember though somebody's paying you to do this, 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.200 to go to work, you know, like there is a separation, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.920 and I just want to temper this for everybody, you. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.960 Know, hopefully. Yeah, I think it's important that, yes, we 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.920 want you to bring your full self to work, because 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.919 there are also people like, well, you're not talking about 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.680 my area of work, so I'm not going to weigh in. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.120 I'm like, wait a minute, Yeah, you know, you're part 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.480 of this team. As team produces affects your area, you 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.520 wouldn't be on the team, right, There's got to be 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.760 some interdependence somewhere, and so like, even though this may 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.240 not be happening in your backyard, on the team it's 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.000 still part of the team. What do you think about this? Like, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:18.080 I mean, I want you to share who professionally, you know, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.599 like your thoughts. That's important. I may not need to no. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.840 Idea well, but see that's what I'm talking about now. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.680 So then so what you're talking about is one aspect 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.720 of it, yeah, which is bringing a whole self and 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.680 giving a shit about what you're doing. But what I'm 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.920 talking about is, you know, my job did not require 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.400 me to be upset. The day that No One ate 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.960 was Yes on eight and it was against gay marriage 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:48.760 in California. I was angry that day. And there are 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.799 days I wish I could redo of when I brought 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.960 my whole self in and when I should have checked 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.960 part of myself at the door. You know, we had 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.599 a really bad habit at different workplaces of talking about politics. No, 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.559 that is dangerous now, y'all. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:11.120 You know, it's like you said, everything changes, The world. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.040 Keeps changing, and you know, the last thing anybody needs 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.680 to do is to bring up or participate in a 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:21.520 conversation about the Israeli and Hamas war. Don't do it. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.400 Don't do it because that's not your best self. And 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.040 by the way, your job doesn't ask you to do 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.440 that unless you're a journalist. See, this is the thing 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.360 that I think is a really great filter would we 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.960 talk about. I mean, we need to probably roll back 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.480 a little bit here, but I think that that when 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.840 you're preparing for who you are at work, remember what 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.280 your work is asking of you. Right Like, your job 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.720 isn't asking for you to sit there and spend half 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.760 an hour talking about the dinner you had last night. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.280 It's not. Your job isn't asking you what your opinion 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:02.320 is on the world stage. Your work isn't asking what 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.640 you think about a certain legislation being passed in the 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.240 state of California. And even if you're gay, you know 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.080 your work's not asking you these things. And I say 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.600 these because you know I've done them all wrong. I've 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.680 done all the things I just listened, I've done And 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.720 so I can sit here in full and utter honesty 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:27.040 about this, with zero judgment, but with history and wisdom 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.000 to know that that's not a good thing. So preparing 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.199 for work is I think what we need to talk 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.160 about when we get. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:43.880 Back and welcome back. How are you doing my health? Well? 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.520 I'm trying to step off my soapbox right, But I'm 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.040 afraid I'm going to step on another one. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.760 Now. Well, we're going to talk about because we talk about, 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.440 you know, the eight year, how are you prepare to 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.560 do your work? Whatever? Whatever you know you put into 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.520 that quotation of work could be home, could be work, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.120 could be community, whatever it is. But how you to 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.679 prepare to do your work? And I think there are 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.920 two parts. One is how you individually design your life 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.360 to do your work, and then how you the organization 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.400 the systems that organization has to support you doing your work. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:20.600 So let's talk about those. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.800 I think that is fantastic. So there's the personal responsibility 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.240 and then the corporate training for you. Right, So from 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.800 a personal responsibility, you know, I can say that again 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.800 through experience of doing things wrong and right that in 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.720 my version of the wrong bucket. Susanne used to joke 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.600 with me that every morning I would go through the 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.520 fire drill to get ready to go to work, which 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.640 is I would stay in bed until the last possible second, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.920 jump in the shower, and then make my drive to work. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.600 And that and that's really how I was leading my life. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:10:00.280 And when I started to balance myself better balance my day, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.760 balance my night, when I would get it and from 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.040 This is what worked for me. And again, it doesn't matter. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.120 I mean I was a desk jockey, so it doesn't 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.640 matter if you work for UPS or you on a 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.120 flower shop. It's the start of your day. Everybody has 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:20.080 a has a start, right, So mine was was actually 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.320 I would work out and then I would do We 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.760 had a Plotti's reformer at home and I would intentionally 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.000 get on the reformer, so I not only was my 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.480 body more flexible, but my mind was more flexible. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.920 So because I'm curious what changed from your your fire 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.760 droll mornings versus your intentional mornings? What changed for you? 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.600 What changed when I showed up? 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.559 Or what? Well? No, what changed? How did you get from? Oh? 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.520 Why did I get there? 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:53.640 You know? 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.880 I wow? I wasn't expecting that question, but thank you. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:10:59.080 You know. 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:06.320 I saw myself fairly stagnant in the fire drill. Not 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.800 that I was doing my work was bad. I wasn't 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.600 really living up to what I wanted to be, what 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.360 I thought I could offer. I also saw where I 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.520 wasn't utilizing my full day. I was kind of spending 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.200 the first part of it kind of getting adjusted to 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.200 the world a little bit yep, because. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.120 It's like you got shot out of a cannon every day. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:28.920 I got shot out of a kit. Yes, I shot 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.240 myself out of a cannon every day. It's true though. Yeah, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.040 And so I made changes, and everything changed when I 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.960 started making those changes, and then I started making changes 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:46.280 to where the night before I would look at my schedule, 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.160 I would see what I had ahead of me. I 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.960 would think about that in advance, and also knowing that 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.960 stuff changes when you get there, but the expectations, you know, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.840 it's like if I have a lot of friends at 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.360 their sons. Interestingly are ups drivers and the most successful 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.320 ones who actually look at their route. No, for real, 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.440 they look at their right And it's a really great 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.400 job for a lot of these young men. They love it. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.640 They treat their employees really well, and therefore they want 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.000 to give back, right, they want to give them their best, yeah, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.360 and keep the drop their route. Yeah, they'll they'll look 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.800 at their routes to look at the weather, you know, 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:23.880 like they'll just get prepared. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:24.040 Well. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.480 I was looking at my routes and looking at my 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.040 weather the night before, just so I could, you know, 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.000 see if I was going to have a stormy day, 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.160 you know, it was going to be bright and sunny 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:38.760 because I have them all right, So that was the prep, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.040 right like, and it was intentional and it wasn't. I 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.199 wasn't dismissive. I wasn't I don't want to go to work? 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:46.640 Can I tell you that there was not a single 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.360 day in my life that I actually did want to 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.600 get up and go to work. I love that, no 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.600 matter what the job was, whether I worked at the 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.680 sub shop that my mom's friend owned in Miamma or 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:03.520 quick Stop Too or whatever it was as a convenience 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:08.320 store in Myma, Oklahoma, still there, I think. But it's 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:15.319 but that is also part of knowing getting prepared again, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.200 no matter what you fucking do, is that you're contributing 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.520 to society, and which I think leads us a little 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.880 bit into the second one. And by the way, do 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.800 you anybody do do you on how you get ready? 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.480 Because I also started meditating in the morning for like 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.800 five minutes as part of my prep. Like I was 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.920 up at five, five, five thirty in the morning to 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.280 get ready for what I was doing. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:39.200 I was. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.840 I was in bed hopefully a sleep by ten, and 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:47.080 I had that rhythm. Also, you know, I don't drink anymore, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.400 like at all. But I would drink back in the day, 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.200 but I not during the week because that would hurt 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.160 what I was doing, and ultimately any day was not 0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:00.280 good for me with it. But that's points another episode. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:09.120 I know, what the hell, but I'm an eight right now, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.120 I'm eighteen. I'm eighteen and fiving right now. But I 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.520 think that it was also really interesting. And what I 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.400 like to do and when I have some time is 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:26.000 I read about different companies. And I was so enamored 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.880 and impressed with this company called Dutch Brothers. It's a 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.640 coffee place, and I think we've already established I've never 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.400 had a cup of coffee in my life, so it's 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.200 not like I read only the things I like, Otherwise 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.400 I want to be reading about dunkin Donuts. But I 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.400 was reading about Dutch Brother's coffee, and it's this up 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.080 and coming their business is going. It's their business is soaring. 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.800 And when I read about why their business was soaring, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.880 even though people love their product, like they like the 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:01.000 kind of interesting flavors and combinations that they offer, but 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.120 they loved how friendly and kind the employees of Dutch 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:11.640 Brothers are well, And when's the last time you've heard that. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.400 It's been a minute. Right. That's impressive, right, that cultural 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.800 personal engagement. People are not raving about that sort of 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.000 thing these days. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.000 No, which is why I wanted to bring it up, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.960 because that is a current day corporate situation where it's 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.920 so important to them that that you, their customer, is 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.320 so important that they make that part of who they are, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.200 part of the culture, part of the training, you know, 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.440 and you just don't you don't see that like back 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:41.880 and they when you and I were talking at the 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:46.640 break about it, or before we started about this, was Disney. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.360 Disney set the standard back in the day how they 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.640 trained their their cast members, right. I mean it's just 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.520 even you know, because words matter, right, so they would 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.760 they weren't employees, they were cast members. Right. We're putting 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.000 on an entertainment experience, so yeah. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.080 Right, And people have saved for a big chunk of 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.480 their life to take their family to this experience. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.920 And they took it seriously, and they. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.480 Took it it is serious. Yeah, yeah, you know, entertainment 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.160 that is serious. It's like people who's been a fortune 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.720 to go on a cruise and then they end up 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.560 it's stinky and the food sucks and like why did 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.640 I work and save and scrape to come do this? 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:31.040 You know? 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.640 So you know when I was when I was first 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.760 working at ad agencies back in the early nineties, they 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.160 had training, oh yeah, and serious raining, like you stayed 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.360 in the evening to go through the training courses and 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:51.560 to do your work. But it set an expectation of 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.760 a professionalism. They taught us how to write PowerPoint decks, 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.480 which they weren't I think they weren't PowerPoint back then. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.120 Of course I broke all those rules because that's what 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.840 I do. But they gave like a basis and a 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.280 consistency of service. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.359 Well, and it was part of the culture. They're actually 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.440 teaching you about the corporate culture. This is what's expected 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.399 to you. This is how we work. This is the 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.360 standard that you will be judged by and how you'll 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.200 be accepted. How you will get work done is by 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.320 working in this way. And today, I mean they literally 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.960 put employees in front of a video and like this 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.080 is your training. Good duck. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.920 I don't even know what to say about that, but see, 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.480 but I think what's happened and why would really another 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.920 reason we wanted to talk about this, not that you guys. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:41.960 I mean, yes, you all got excited about eight. But 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.960 the other thing is is that things with exception of 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.080 Dutch brothers, and we don't know everything of every corporate 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.960 company or small company. But the reality is is that 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.640 you have to kind of train yourself these days. You 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.600 have to take some initiative in the morning, afternoon, whenever 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.199 it is that you start your work day and to 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:07.680 get prepared, because that's how that eight is going to shine. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.480 Right, That's how you leverage that energy that's very strong 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:17.760 and supportive. Right, It's how you literally garner resources to 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.480 you and including supporting you the resource of your reputation 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.520 in your professional and social communities. So it's really yeah, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.760 it's really important because how you do what you do matter, 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:34.680 So how you approach your every day right is super important. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.680 So what we'll come back and talk about some other 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.640 interesting trends that we've been seeing and hearing about when 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:52.040 we get back for this next break and we're okay, 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.359 or maybe we won't stop doing this, but we keep 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:00.440 doing the whole like magic wandy witchy hand ester and 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:01.960 we come back and now that one of us, don't 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.080 one really coming back now? And that happened so, and 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.480 it was actually my job to bring us back. So Brenda, 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.879 I'm going to just hand it over to you. 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.439 So one of the things right in the last thing 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.760 we talked about how my elf gave great examples of 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.520 how she prepared for work when she went through the 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.240 shift that said, I'm feeling a little stuck. I feel 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.400 like I'm not doing everything I could do, and perhaps 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:26.879 I'm not going to get to the level that I 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.080 actually want if I'm not bringing everything I can. I 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.159 imagine there was something like that connected there. I don't know, 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.720 you didn't say that, but I'm thinking, maybe does that 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:35.280 makes sense? 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.000 So you and that's actually when I became a president 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:39.520 of the company. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.040 This is exactly like I was working. And I began, yeah, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.280 because you were bringing it, and I'm connecting the doubts too, 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.199 because that is the energy of the eight. If you 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.720 want to excel, this is your year, right, double down 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:51.919 on it. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:52.840 And I wanted to. 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.800 Yeah, of course you did, because you're totally capable, right, 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.280 And I think this is a little bit of the 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.600 generation we were brought up in, which is you own it, 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.760 bring it right, if if if you got it, bring. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:10.920 It work, which is workers right. I mean the generation 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.639 we were workers, Yeah, and that's we were kind of 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.360 raised that way and that's how it was, and good 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.879 or bad, it's just it's just a generational thing and 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:19.560 it just is. 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:24.919 And I think so you know, we talked about how 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.760 to prepare and you know, leverage that energy so you 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:29.760 have what you need to be the best you can 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.720 and checking in the day before. For me, I like 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.800 to set things up energetically a week before. That's how 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.800 I like to cook energy. That's just me, not required, 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:39.960 not better or worse. It's just as long as you're 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.840 getting what you want. It's important. Now. The second part 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.119 of this is when you are clear about what you 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:52.359 need and you're not taking full responsibility for it, or 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.000 sometimes in an effort to try and get that need met, 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.639 if you're not well rehearsed or you're not well practiced 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.240 asking for it, it can come out a little sideways 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.320 and it can come out a little victimy, and that 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.119 doesn't do you, just as it's not taking care of 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:13.400 that reputational eight energy by frequency that's surrounding us this year. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.439 So you know, this is an opportunity to hone that 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:21.760 skill to really support your needs, but to really think 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.760 about hey, when I get challenged. You know part of 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.119 in astrology when people will talk about, oh, I have 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.520 this grind trine and water, which means it is all 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:36.280 harmonious and trains are really soft energy and gifts blessings, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.280 and nobody can really feel them in their chart. So 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.800 they're like, okay, whatever, nothing. It doesn't really get it expressed. 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:45.120 If you have a square or an opposition, it's harder. 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.400 But it's where you get invited to grow. It's where 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.159 you get invited to expand. And we know that our 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.439 school is hard, so let it be hard with a 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.320 specific reason for your soul expansion. That's the whole invitation here. 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.800 So when you have something at work that's not working 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.200 for you, yay, celebrated and not in a way that's 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:09.280 like they don't respect me. That's what I hear a 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.040 lot about it. They don't respect me, right, they're not 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:12.600 taking care of. 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:17.000
