But like 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: that in and of itself is mean, just to be 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: like making fun of Brittany or whoever for what they're 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: going through, and then someone else for seeming like they're 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: hitting a lot, Like if someone's hitting a low, that's 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: the last time you want to say this person's crashing out. 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: It's almost like when someone's having a nervous breakdown and 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: you're like kild you relax, like it'll make them crazy, 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: or a husband to a wife saying like, wow, you're crazy, 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: like that's triggering. So anyway, I have been crashing out, 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: like not in some situation where I need to be 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: medicated or put in like an institution, but in a 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: way where I can relate to and frighteningly understand how 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: people that go on tour or that have crazy big careers, 27 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: how they like emotionally and physically break down, like they 28 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: get exhausted, emotionally exhausted, bandwidth exhausted. And then in the 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: way where if you get sick, you get the cold 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: or the flu or something, you could barely walk up 31 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: a stair like something that's normal for you, you can't 32 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: even breathe, you can't get up the stairs. Well, for me, 33 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm a self regular, and so I can usually feel 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: when like it's not going that great. I do have 35 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: checks and balances. I won't just like beat myself into 36 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: the ground and then I'm physically exhausted and keep going 37 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: and drink coffee and push it. 38 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: I don't do that. 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: But sometimes I hit a wall so badly and it's 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: like almost a little too late, Like it's almost like 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: you're trying to lock the door after you got robbed. 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: And that is what has happened this time. The white 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: knuckling of that move to Florida, like what that was, 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: which was like unbraiding a massive compound of staff and stuff, 45 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: but like I'm not a hoarder, but this stuff of 46 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: it all was a lot because there was such a 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: massive property that just each space had so much in it. 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: So that was like a very big thing. And then 49 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: moving into here into where I live now in Florida, 50 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: and months before moving into a different condo in Florida, 51 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: and even like during the pandemic, I bought and sold 52 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: houses and moved a lot, and each time it beat 53 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: me down, like it was like not great. And then 54 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: I said my life would be different in Florida because 55 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: I never wanted to go back there with all the 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: stuff coming in, and I just wanted to have like 57 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: a quieter life, which I do and I'm happier, which 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: I am, and I walk on the beach and I'm thrilled. 59 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: But I think I underestimated this career that I accidentally 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: embarked on and it took on a life of itself. 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: And it's like anything else that you guys are doing. 62 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: It could be parenting, and it seems like it's going great. 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: And then one day it just crashes down, or your 64 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: workload or planning for a wedding or a sick family member, 65 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: or doing everything for your husband and nothing for yourself, 66 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: whatever your version of it is. My version became like 67 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: thinking that this was still like some cute small business 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: when it started to absolutely explode, like explode beyond, like 69 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: Forbes writers calling to discuss its explosion, and other business 70 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: publications tracking the growth of it, and it became really big. 71 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: And what I mean it is like I was going 72 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: to leave the Housewives and I was going to just 73 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: do my podcast and do some relief work, and then 74 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: I was just playing around and the makeup stuff started exploding. 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: And my partner at the time, life partner, was like 76 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: laughing at me when I said I was an influencer, 77 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: which I was saying it as a joke, but he 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: like kind of more made it a joke. And then 79 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: every week more stuff would come, and more deals would come, 80 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: and then more influence would happen, more product would be moved, 81 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: more appearances started happening, more press loreal Fashion Week, a 82 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: couple of times walking in the runway Sports illustrated walking 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: on the runway like I am not a Kardashian. I 84 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: am not j Loo. 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: I don't run like that. 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: I run hot inside like I'm always thinking, analyzing, obsessing, 87 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: So I can't run hot outside. I can't be like 88 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: activated with a bunch of people and constantly putting makeup 89 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: on and like forming and doing in the way that 90 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: other forward facing people can. I am shockingly insure. I 91 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: don't like to say introvert because I think that means 92 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: like you just can't work well with others and talk 93 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: to people. And I can, but there are ways that 94 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm like an introvert because I get activated and overwhelmed 95 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: if I go do something I think I've told you 96 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: many times, I have to come back to the nest. 97 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: It's not a line, it's not a bit. I have 98 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: to balance and regulate. So with all of this stuff 99 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: that started happening, I started saying no more and more 100 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: because I wanted to be tighter and not just like 101 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: be shocked by the money people are throwing at me 102 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: and then take it instead. I was like, let me 103 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: say no to a lot of things, most things, and 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: only do really meaningful things. And I do that, and 105 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: I've done that, and my team has done that. But 106 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: the meaningful things are still pretty gigantic. And the reason 107 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't just jump off the ride entirely and stop 108 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: is because I'm on the precipice and at the peak. 109 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: It's the biggest it's ever been in many ways. And 110 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: yet I still get to be home and be in 111 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,679 Speaker 1: my pajamas, and I never miss time with my daughter. 112 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: I mean, like, very rarely do I miss time with 113 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: my daughter, and never like important time, and we have 114 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: a great life together and I make dinner for her 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: and I get to be in sweatpants and like, it's 116 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: pretty good. I just didn't realize how big this business got, 117 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: so I have staffed it as if it's like a 118 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: cute small thing, and it's been like putting a band 119 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: aid on a broken leg. It's kind of become a massive, 120 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: real business now, and I'm have to treat it as such, 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: staff wise and putting money behind it wise and to 122 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: see how far it goes wise. And I don't get 123 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: off the ride because I think it's the best thing 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: ever done, and it's so fun and alive, and I 125 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: have the greatest career you can ever imagine, and it's 126 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: a dream and I love connecting and I love helping 127 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: people and I love helping them find the things they need, 128 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: and I love helping brands, and I love being in 129 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: the middle of it. And I love showing women at 130 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: a certain age that there's nothing they can't do and 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: that it's not just that age is a number, age 132 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: is actually a fact, but that at whatever age you are, 133 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: you can have tremendous impact and influence not only on others, 134 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: but on yourself, on your self worth, on your purpose, 135 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: on what are you doing, like don't count us out. 136 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: So it's been amazing. I just recently have taken on water. 137 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: I've taken on too much. And this is the thing 138 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: about any of you who have a business or are 139 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: a parent or are going through it, Like sometimes it 140 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: just seems overwhelming, but the idea and the solution is 141 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: right there. You just have to breathe and like allow 142 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: it to come. And it's easy to say stop. You 143 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: have to take care of yourself, Like everyone says blanket 144 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: statements like that, when you have so many obligations and 145 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: people that lean on you or rely on you, they 146 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: don't really pay attention to when you say that. They 147 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: might say, oh, yeah, are you okay, And then the 148 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: next day they come in and like jump on you 149 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: for something. 150 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: You're like no, no, no. 151 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: When I said that, like I needed a break yesterday, 152 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't like an hour.

Like the mom of the house 174 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: is cracking and if she falls, the whole house is 175 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: gonna fall. I am not complaining. I'm just explaining that 176 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: sometimes you need to take a fucking break, and not 177 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: an hour, not a massage, like a big break. That's 178 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: just like, no, there are some things that I have 179 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: to do. There are some obligations I have to do, 180 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: and they're reasonable, but otherwise you can't let the other 181 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: little stuff creep in, and your sleep has to be important. 182 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: You have to find out how to get it. For me, 183 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: there have been edibles that I've taken because I don't medicate. 184 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: I don't take pills, and then like they're not working sometimes, 185 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: so you have to find and what works Sometimes for me, 186 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: even though I know it's not good to help you sleep, 187 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: I'll take two SIPs of like saki or something just 188 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: to like calm my fucking self down, or watch whatever 189 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: show or make sure the morning's clear so you could 190 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: sleep late. It's not like an emergency. It's not the 191 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: biggest deal. It's just that I have been in a state, 192 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: and I'm not ignoring it. I my daughter needs me, 193 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: everyone needs me, and I'm going to continue and be successful. 194 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 1: And I know what I want. I don't want to 195 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: have nothing going on and nothing to do. But like 196 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: there's a balance and you have to self regulate. You 197 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: have to find out what that balance is, and you 198 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: have to give yourself the gift of honesty and transparency 199 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: about where you are this morning. I did have one 200 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: of these training sessions on the books because it was 201 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: booked and I didn't want to leave the guy hanging, 202 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: and I don't want to waste the money, even though 203 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: I could have. I could have given it to someone else, 204 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: but then that would have been a project finding them. 205 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: And the guys really nice. So I walked and I said, listen, 206 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm not doing well today. So I'm here and I 207 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: want to do the bare minimum and we can just stretch, 208 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: but like let everything meet you. You're actually at whatever 209 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: that is, because everybody needs a break, and everybody feels 210 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: like the waves are crashing and there's a foot on 211 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: your chest and you can't breathe and like you're taking 212 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: on water and all these things. Everybody gets that, and 213 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: there are different degrees of it, but like it's serious, 214 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: and our health is the most important thing, and our 215 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: mental health is our health, and being there for our 216 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: kids is important. And nest and nurture yourself and just 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: say no and try not to let it get back 218 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: there again. Try, you know, train everyone around you. So 219 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing right now, and I'm really sticking 220 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: to it. 221 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: I hope that helps, and I hope you get it. 222 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: And the reason I stay in is because I think 223 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm taking this business of mind into the end zone. 224 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: And I've never been so close. And what is the 225 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: end zone? You ask, I'm not even sure, but I 226 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: know it's big. It's got impact because this business, which 227 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: was just a fun, honest project from my soul and body, 228 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: is much bigger than my biggest skinny girl day. 229 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: And that's a big statement. So I always say I'll 230 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: walk out when. 231 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: The tables go cold, but I have to let this 232 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: horse run. I want to see what this is going 233 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: to be. I really really do. Sometimes we either push ourselves, 234 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: surprise ourselves and think of something or invent something, or 235 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: idate or create and you want to see how far 236 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: you could take it. Like anybody's like that, they're athletes, 237 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: that retire, but they like, you know what, I think 238 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: I got one more in me. And maybe they're right, 239 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: maybe they're wrong, but they want to see. And this 240 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: is the age where people start to lose purpose and 241 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: wish they had something going on and wish they were 242 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: more relevant. And I've been meeting people that are my 243 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: age in the entertainment industry, the traditional entertainment industry, and 244 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: they are all dinosaur dinosaurs. Okay, the entertainment industry has 245 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: changed forever as we know it. That is a new topic, 246 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: but the entertainment industry is bedrock now that I've been 247 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: hiring for this new iteration of my business, which I 248 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: posted on social media. I have spoken to people that 249 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: have run major, major productions for Bravo, for every major network, 250 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: for every major talk show host. I'm talking the View, 251 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: I'm talking Allen, I'm talking Oprah, I'm talking Kimmel, I'm 252 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: talking Kelly Clarkson, Drew Barrymore, Ricky. 253 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: Lake, all of it. Right, they all. 254 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: Don't speak the twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six language 255 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: of media and entertainment. And it's shocking, Like I thought 256 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,359 Speaker 1: I needed one thing, because these people are fucking juggernauts, 257 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: and they can run a major operation, So I thought 258 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: because of that, they can sort of pivot and adjust 259 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: and understand what goes on now in twenty twenty five, 260 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. The good news for all of you 261 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: is if you jump into something now, you could be 262 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: at the front of the pack. Because the entire entertainment 263 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: industry as it was is bedrock Dinosaur, nearly defunct, scrambling 264 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: freaking out. It's why the real estate's fucked there. It's 265 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: why there's an exodus there, It's why people are flipping out. 266 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: I now get it because I've spoken to people at 267 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: every level of running that industry. I mean people that 268 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: are managers of a list talent okay, that make tens 269 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. People that are managers running management 270 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: companies asking me, like how we're doing certain things, to 271 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: sit down to give them some of what I'm doing, 272 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: which I won't. People who own big production companies that 273 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: have bought other production companies and like you know, have 274 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: made hundreds of millions of dollars, asking me how we're 275 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: doing what we're doing. People that are in media right 276 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: now that think they're right at the front because they 277 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: think that if they say AI every three words, that 278 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: they're totally understanding exactly the pulse of where everything is, 279 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: and they are too far in one direction because research 280 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: is saying that everybody doesn't want every single aspect of 281 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: their media to be AI and like not real human connection. 282 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: And it's happening in business too. I know people that 283 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: are my age, and I'm like, what are you talking about? 284 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: Like how do you not know this?

I had Twitter first, but 289 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: didn't really know how to be grat at it like 290 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: an Ashton Kutcher. I had Instagram in the beginning, but 291 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: didn't really understand how to shift over to it and 292 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: post authentically. I wanted to do TikTok early, and I 293 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: was told that it was for people too young, and 294 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: this would have put me in there before Charlie Demilio 295 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: and those people, but they said it was too young 296 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: for me, and then I finally jumped in. But now 297 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, going into twenty twenty six, I 298 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: understand a lot about social media, all the channels from 299 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: Pinterest to YouTube to snapchat to LinkedIn to all the shit, 300 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: like I understand how the game is going on in 301 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: philanthropy and business and entertainment. 302 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: So this is a massive, massive. 303 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: Technological and entertainment and industry shift.
