I like to say. So, you know, I'm 77 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: a mom, I have this amazing job. We've kind of 78 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: transitioned a little bit where we live, lots going on 79 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: in our industry. Sockety, it's having a great moment. Some 80 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: of the momentum I walked into. So it's been like 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: from day one go. But yeah, I think for people 82 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: like us, if it were any other way monotonous every day, 83 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: we would be miserable. So yeah, I'm good. 84 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: A lot of change, A lot of change, A lot 85 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: of change, a lot of change. Have you always felt 86 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 3: as though you're good at navigating change. 87 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: I think I've always had change in my life. So 88 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: I grew up in the South. I was a swimmer, 89 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: one or few people of color at the time swimming 90 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: my you know, my dad's Caribbean. I've always had like 91 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: a diverse type of family, and I think I was 92 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: in atypical sports for like a five foot ten black woman. 93 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: So there was always this like moments kind of ecosystem 94 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: of change happening around me. And I think I probably 95 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: picked a career where if you don't like change or 96 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: in the wrong job, because marketing is if anything like 97 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: that's predictable, is that there will be change. There will 98 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: be ebbs and flows. Consumer behavior will always be you 99 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: think that you understand what's going to happen next, and 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: then you don't, and so you have to be comfortable with, 101 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, having I literally said this on the ride 102 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: over here, like I'm a planner. I love a plan 103 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: because the plan at least gives me some direction of 104 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 1: when it's going to change, like what are we changing from? 105 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: But I don't like the vagueness of no plan. So 106 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: am I comfortable change? I think that I have it 107 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: in my blood to always be kind of aware that 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: change is inevitable. As I've gotten older, I probably react 109 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: to it better. I don't think in my twenties I 110 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: was the picture perfect person would change. 111 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: How do you get better at ebbing and flowing with 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: change and embracing flexibility. 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there's probably a tons of book books out 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: there that will tell you, like, here's a list of 115 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: four things you should do, I mean definitely stop and 116 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: breathe and all those things. I had my daughter at 117 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: thirty eight, and I think that's when I got really 118 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: comfortable with change, because you can't control an infant, like 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: they really are in control as much as you want 120 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: to have them in control. And I think I had 121 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: a pretty easy labor, easy child, But that's when you 122 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: kind of surrender to like, Okay, this is not I 123 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: can't control everything anymore. What do I do? And then 124 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: I think the moment I went back to work as 125 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: a new mom, you couldn't I had, you know, I 126 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: had her at thirty eight, So I had lived almost 127 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: four decades of just being very selfish with my time 128 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: and how much I poured into teams and how much 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: I poured into work I poured into myself. And now 130 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: you really are on this like even though I think 131 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: the world is definitely embraced motherhood better, you are really 132 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: in this like nine to five bucket. You know, if 133 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: your breastfeeding or not, like you still your body is 134 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: on this like cycle of like your child. They can 135 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: feel like your child needs you. And so I think 136 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: that was when I first started to be like, Okay, 137 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm not in control of everything anymore, and I think 138 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: that's hard for people like me type A. I'm an 139 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: E on the M on the end ennagram, I'm read 140 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: like I'm all the things. That's like tiger mom type 141 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: A blah blah blah. But I think what I learned 142 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: through motherhood really was that you have to have that 143 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: vulnerability and give yourself grace because you can no longer 144 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: control everything. And it's almost like the I think the 145 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: philosophy behind golf. Golf, it's like it's not about strength 146 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: as much as it is about strategy and leaning on 147 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: people looking like you know, looking at your caddy and 148 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: asking them their opinion. So for me, it was I'd 149 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: always really had a very very very tight knit group 150 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: of people that I talked to, and I had to 151 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: release a little bit and learn to not only just delegate, 152 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: but like trust that this is gonna happen. It may 153 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: not happen the way I want it to or the 154 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: way that I would have done it, but we will 155 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: get to the end and it will be successful, and 156 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: I have to trust the process. I really always say, 157 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: like for me, motherhood changed like the way that I 158 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: just approached life, approach people approach my job. It had 159 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: much a much larger impact than just being. 160 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: A mom, and a larger impact from what I'm hearing 161 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: you say, for the better. 162 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, for the better for me, like I definitely. I 163 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: think also the timing always I have a lot of 164 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: women who are like, can you have a mentor they 165 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: always ask like when should we like when should I 166 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: have Toldren? And I think that's a very personal decision, 167 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: But for me, I never I would love to say 168 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: that I wanted to wait till thirty eight, but I 169 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: didn't really feel like I wanted to have a child 170 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: until I was like thirty three, So I don't have 171 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: that like, okay, I strategically decided to wait until. I 172 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: do think in hindsight it was the best because financially 173 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: it was in a different situation. From a professional perspective, 174 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: I wasn't the ten We're always climbing, we're always hustling. 175 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: But I wasn't like in my twenties late twenties. I 176 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: was still very much at the behest of like I 177 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: was on the agency side, so I was at the 178 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: behest of clients and their timing and their demanding and 179 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: if I had an infant, I wouldn't be able to 180 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: be at the office for twelve hours, Like I just 181 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to drop everything and go fly across 182 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: the country. Like those things wouldn't have I wouldn't have 183 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: been able to do those things. So I do recognize 184 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: that like it was for me the better because I waited, 185 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: and I think i'd rather There's no perfect time. In hindsight, 186 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: I would love to have had more than one, and 187 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: if I started earlier, probably would have I had a miscarriage. 188 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: Unfortunately I couldn't do it. But I think for me 189 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: it was like perfect timing because I was ready and 190 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: I was grateful, right. I was at a moment of 191 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: like I always say, like I didn't have a kid 192 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: to have a necessory. I really wanted to have a child, 193 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: and I think I would probably not have had that 194 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: maturity if I were in my late twenties. 195 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that. 196 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's interesting to hear you talk about I 197 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: wasn't sure if I wanted a child until I was 198 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 3: after thirty three years old. I think a lot of 199 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: women these days, especially as egg freezing is so popular, 200 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: everyone is saying to you the second you cuss thirty, 201 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: so are you freezing your eggs. Yeah, and if you 202 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: don't feel strongly about it, or if you say I'm 203 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: not sure, it's almost there's like a stigma around it. 204 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And as you know my background, I 205 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: was that kind of body for a while and until 206 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: kind of on their advisory board. I'm a big believer 207 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: in options. I froze my eggs at twenty nine, which 208 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: is kind of late, yeah, for when they suggest that 209 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 1: you do it, and I did it because, like I 210 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: was in a very professionally healthy place. I had an 211 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: amazing obgyn who I'd been going to for almost a decade. 212 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: She knew my life in and inside and out. She 213 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: knew more than my like anyone. She knew just like 214 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: how my ambition is professionally. She was such a great 215 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: overjoyan because she really talked to me about like my 216 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: life or it's just just like my health and my 217 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: body and do you want to have babies? And she 218 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: never actually said do you want a baby? She just 219 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: basically said, listen to it. Sounds like you're doing great 220 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: in your career. It sounds like you're on this amazing trajectory. 221 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: Sounds like you're dating the way that you want to date, 222 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: and I don't think that you should stop these things 223 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: because you seem very happy, you're healthy, you're happy. She's like, 224 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: so here's something you should know about. And she literally 225 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: just passed me a pampoint all the time. It wasn't 226 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: very it wasn't everywhere. It was you know, I had 227 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: to go to Boston and get it done. She was 228 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: very very clear, like, I'm not telling you should do this, 229 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: but if you want the option later, because it sounds 230 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: like you really are, like your priority right now is 231 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: your career, and that's good. That's like she wasn't like 232 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: shaming me into either way. And I think that was 233 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: a good unlock for me, to remind me that I 234 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: did have the power to make the choice now. I said, time, 235 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: it was so much more expensive. Today it's so it's 236 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: so cost efficient, and I think companies are providing the 237 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: services as well. I always say it's an option, but 238 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: don't feel pressure, because again, I didn't know I wanted 239 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: to have children. I thought, I thought, like, I'm gonna 240 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: have this amazing job and continue to live into New York. 241 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy apartment in Paris, and that's I'm gonna 242 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: be the cool U that all of my friends' kids 243 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: will come and be like, can we go hang out 244 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: with Auntie Joy? That's what I thought I was gonna do. 245 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean I literally bought shoes like that, so many 246 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: pairs of shoes that I bought in bags. I was like, 247 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna like this is where my investment is going. 248 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: And then I got married and I had a different 249 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: feeling with this person, and then I was like, I 250 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: really and I'm happy that that changed for me because 251 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: I definitely grew into a better version of myself because 252 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: of that experience. But again, I was a late bloomer, 253 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: and having grown up in Tennessee, I think people were 254 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: like giving up on me. They're like, if you're such 255 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: an no maid, you're never gonna have children. 256 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: So you work at kind Body, you work at Havas 257 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: Media Network, and now at Soccony. 258 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: Correct. 259 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: I very let's say a. 260 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: Typical path to get into the footwear industry. 261 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. 262 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: What was it that drew you in to the CMO 263 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: role at Socket AG? 264 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, before I was at kind Body, I had 265 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: spent about a decade in private equity, working in mostly 266 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: chief marketing officers and chief revant officers roles, and then 267 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: before that, I had spent the early decade and a 268 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: half of my career in creative agency type of roles 269 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: and then in creative type of companies like Counting ass 270 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: and Equinox. So I had this combination a really strong 271 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: creative esthetic, understanding how creative works to drive demand, and 272 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: then in housing that and building teams around everything, like 273 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: in to end, how do you define a consumer insight, 274 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: how do you use that insight for understanding consumer behavior, 275 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: and then how do you translate that into messaging around 276 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: a product. So when I went to Havas, I really thought, Okay, 277 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: I'm taking this great commercialized experience that I've had out 278 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: there for the last second and a half and I'm 279 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: bringing that back into the agency world. So in the 280 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: process of working there, I was exposed to a Maverne, 281 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: which is the parent company of Socony, and it's all like, 282 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: I believe my life so much has been being prepared 283 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: for the moment. You know, chances are going to happen, 284 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: opportunities are going to come, but if you're not prepared, 285 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: you can't capitalize on it. And I think Wolverine is 286 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: such an amazing company and this great moment in time 287 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: where they have these amazing brands that are you know, 288 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: their challenge of brands, some of them. When you think 289 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: about Sweaty Betty and this kind of apparel space, female 290 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: apparel space, they're a challenger. We think about even Socany 291 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: or one hundred and twenty six years old, but we 292 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: have been known mostly for elite performance, and now we're 293 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: trying to broaden our reach a little bit, saying true 294 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: to our core running, but thinking about running at the 295 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: intersection of culture and how does that how does how 296 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: do runners now feel about that? And then how do 297 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: we bring new entrants into that? And so when I 298 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: was speaking with the brand president on another brand, will Ring, 299 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: because I was working at of OZ, and they started 300 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: talking about Socony, I reminded myself like I wore sockney 301 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: as a swimmer. My dad was a triathlete, had a 302 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: really great relationship with the Run Specialty shop in Chattanooga, 303 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: and I was outfitted in Stocony because you as a swimmer, 304 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: you have to do endrrance, you have to do conditioning 305 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: as much as you do inside the water. And so 306 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: I remember talking to my father about it and saying 307 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: like this is such an amazing brend and he has 308 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: never really understood what I did until I started talking 309 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: to him about socony, and so it just kind of 310 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: made sense to me, Like, Okay, I really think while 311 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: I have this desire to bring and heighten this heightened 312 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: that business acumen and the marketing acumen on the agency side, 313 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: there's very few times in your life where you understand 314 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: the product. You have a passion for the heritage of 315 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: the product and what it means and how to make 316 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: it more relevant to today. And the brand itself is 317 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: at this pivotal moment where it's really you know, it's 318 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: today or never. We expand, do we grow? How do 319 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: we do that? How do we become the brand that 320 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: really is standing on authenticity and heritage but also product innovation. 321 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: And as a woman in the C suite, it's so 322 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: rare to have these opportunities in the sense of, like, 323 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: you really like the brand, you really like the company, 324 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: and you actually have a like a unique set of 325 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: skills that are applicable for this time in the brand's life. 326 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: You know, I am more of a creative, revenue driven marketer. 327 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: I don't have a CpG background. I really came up 328 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: through its trial and error and experiences, and SOFTNY is 329 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: a little bit like that too. It's a very cultural 330 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: brand that really is true to itself and is interesting, 331 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: is okay with being kind of like the underdog, but 332 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: then will surprise you and come out and really start 333 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: to build momentum and places and spaces that others can't. 334 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: Not having that CpG background, Why do you think that 335 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: works to your advantage? 336 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's kind of a combination. Like I 337 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: have worked on a lot of CpG business, so I 338 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: understand the way in which product and placement and all 339 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: those things promotion works. So I do have a great 340 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: respect for that. But I think it's more that that 341 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: agency background that I've had, and then the multiple experiences 342 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: in the private equity sector. Private equity is very much 343 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: around like what is the revenue? What are you doing? 344 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: How is marketing driving demand? And so it has this 345 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: accountability to it, and I think that gives me a 346 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: little bit of advantage because while I do have this 347 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: great appreciation for how you build brand and have brand 348 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: heat and brand love and create brand health, I also 349 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: understand the full funnel approach. You can't do the same 350 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: thing forever. Right, While we can't boil the ocean and 351 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: do everything at the same time. Because our budgets are 352 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: what they are, there are ways in which the brand 353 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: can be more impactful and feel larger, and then you 354 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: drive consideration and then you convert at at the bottom. 355 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: If we only think about converting, then returns action. But 356 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: if we do all of it together, if we really 357 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: invest in an omni channel approach, then we create this 358 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: engagement conversation with consumers That is kind of what is 359 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: my kind of secret power superpower in the sense that 360 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: because I didn't come from footwear and I don't come 361 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: from like this traditional marketing background, I'm also questioning a 362 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: lot of things which on earth that unlocks the conversation 363 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: amongst a team. So I don't have all the answers, 364 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: but I have a lot of questions because I haven't 365 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: seen it done an x amount of the same way 366 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: X amount of times and I and I'm naturally curious 367 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: around the consumer and how they can Like a runner 368 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: like you, why would you consider stopping you over a 369 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: six or Brooks? I'm asking those questions, and I'm listening 370 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: in a way that I think is slightly different because 371 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm not listening for the traditional like technology answer, innovation answer. 372 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm listening for the human answer because I think that's 373 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: where that's where brands live. They live in the heart 374 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: of the can So I'm listening for that, which when 375 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: you take then the amazing experiences from people on a 376 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: team who have come from foot where who are listening 377 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: for that tech stuff. We have a dialogue around okay, 378 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: well that was the innovation piece, but what really was 379 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: the emotional motivator for them to consider that to believe 380 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: the innovation was better, it superior. Now we have a 381 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: holistic approach, and I think it's the collective that kind 382 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: of makes it a superpower for the brand because again 383 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: I just I always say I don't have all the answers, 384 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: but I probably have a lot of the questions. And 385 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: if we can have an open, serious dialogue and people 386 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: and what I love right now what I'm feeling on 387 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: the brand is that people are moving to a space 388 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: of saying, well, that's a good question versus well this 389 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: is why historically because that keeps us in the same box. 390 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: But if we all are like, oh, let's it, okay, 391 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: let me, that's what you're actually asking is not just 392 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: like why do we build the film this way, but 393 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: you're asking something differently like how is the film made? 394 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: What is it? 395 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 3: Like? 396 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: These are now we're all engaged in kind of figuring 397 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: out a way in which to emotionally connect to the 398 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: human which is the consumer. 399 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 3: It's so interesting when you get that outside perspective in 400 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 3: an environment which otherwise has always been asking the same questions. 401 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 3: And I can totally understand why your perspective, having this 402 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: unconventional background can be valuable not just in this setting, 403 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 3: but every setting, a number of settings. 404 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: And I think that is probably like when you asked earlier, 405 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: do I how do I deal with change? Or do 406 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: I like change? I think if you look at my career, 407 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: I've always never been afraid to try new categories because 408 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: I think that keeps it fresh. And then I think 409 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: you also start to see, okay, well, consumers, the same 410 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: consumer are shopping across categories, so there's probably some commonality there. 411 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: I think it is a little intimidating to come into 412 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: this big footwear category with such great giants in the 413 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: industry who've written thousands of books, thousands of podcasts, thousands 414 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: of articles. I sit with colleagues who are very well 415 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: they know this industry really well, and so it can 416 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: be a little intimidating because you're like, what are we 417 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: talking about here? But I think the thing that I've 418 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: learned to appreciate is to remove that fear of asking, 419 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: you know, like I always say, there's no shame in 420 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: geting seeking clarity, and I think that has been a 421 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: learning process in this role for me too, because I 422 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: came from a place where I was there for a 423 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: very long time prehabas, but there for almost ten years 424 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: where I knew it, I knew the answers right, and 425 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: so I didn't have to ask getting questions, which you 426 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: never wanted to be the person that's not asking questions. 427 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: You want to be in a constant state of learning, 428 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: no matter how old you are, and so it was 429 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: just it's like funny how life works. I feel like 430 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: this role has allowed me to refine myself, rediscover myself 431 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: and as this student. 432 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: And I think that's really inmpat power. I love that 433 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: idea surrounding clarity. The thing about clarity is that although 434 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: you might not always learn what it is that you 435 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 3: might want to learn, you always then get information that 436 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 3: empowers and enables you to move forward. Sure, and so 437 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 3: to be in this place now where you have this 438 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 3: understanding that questions aren't a bad thing correct. In fact, 439 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 3: your questions are going to help the team get where 440 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: they want to go or where they ultimately need to go. 441 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 3: You talked about admitting that it can be a little 442 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: bit like, Okay, maybe I'm a little bit of an 443 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 3: outsider here, but I have this question, I'm going to 444 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: go about this, et cetera in feeling a little bit 445 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 3: like an outsider. Has that ever presented for you as 446 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: imposter syndrome? 447 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: Listen, I think that imposter syndrome is really real, So 448 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: I never want to when I ever speak about I 449 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: don't want people to think like I don't think it's through. 450 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: I definitely think there's moments of insecurity that we all 451 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: have had. You know, I was feeling I was talking 452 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: to my ten year old about this the other day, 453 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: and I was like, that moment of insecurity is actually fuel, Like, 454 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: use that to motivate you to actually lean in versus 455 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: leaning back, right, because I want her to understand that 456 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: that's normal to walk into a room and feel like 457 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: I don't know anyone or don't know what they're talking about. 458 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't know the answers, because that's how you that's curiosity, 459 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: that's an So I try to say imposter syndrome. Is 460 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: it feeds from that a little bit? Right? It's not 461 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: completely all that, because I mean we're being very honest 462 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: as women, we actually sometimes go and pay places and 463 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: spaces where we are the only one, and that moment 464 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: that feels intimidation can quickly turn into question yourself, do 465 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: I deserve to be here? Do I have the credentials? 466 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: Am I smart enough? What are they talking about? So 467 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: I recognize even in myself that I've had those things 468 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: in my mind. It's so important to have a good 469 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: network of women who know you and love you, because 470 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: even your husband or your part can't really talk you 471 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: down from that. So lucky that I have a handful 472 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: of women that I know, that I trust, that we 473 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: support each other, We say each other's names and rooms 474 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: when we're not in the in the room. We are 475 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: the ones that you know, if I get a call 476 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: about being on this board or being in this meeting 477 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: or what have you panel, and I can't do it 478 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: or it doesn't make sense to me, I'm recommending these ladies. 479 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: You know, you need that crew because when you walk into. 480 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: This is the crew I called when I was like, Hey, 481 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: should I take this job? I don't have experience in footwear. 482 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: And these are the women who hype you up appropriately, 483 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: not like, you know, gassing your head and telling you 484 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: things that aren't true. These are women that remind you 485 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: of who you are, where you came from, what you've done. 486 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: While they may not have been there in some of 487 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: the earlier days, they know the stories. I mean, one 488 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: of them who I admire. She wasn't there when I 489 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: was the only brown girl swimming in Chattanooga, Tennessee and 490 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: kind of being questioned my age because I was so tall. 491 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: But she knew that story, and she reminds me like, 492 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: if that little girl with confidence can do that, then 493 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: of course this woman who has now three decades passed 494 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: and had all these accomplishments and all these failures as 495 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: well and has learned from them, you can do this job. 496 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: You know, like you need you need that person, You 497 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: need that group of people who just kind of give 498 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: you them to keep going, you know what I mean? 499 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: Because I don't really I don't really like the freeze 500 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: imposter syndrome. I don't like the way that it but 501 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: I don't deny that it happens, and I think that 502 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: sometimes you just need that group that's going to have 503 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: your back, and unfortunately it can't be like your mom 504 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: or dad. It needs to be this highly credentialed group. 505 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'd been there. 506 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 3: I totally hear that there's certainly going to be people 507 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 3: right now that are listening to this that think to themselves, Wow, 508 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: I don't have that, and I'd really love that for 509 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 3: someone that is seeking their tribe. What advice do you 510 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 3: have to offer in landing it? 511 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that you call them the tribe, because 512 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: that's exactly what they are. I would say a couple 513 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: of things. One, don't be intimidated by the fact that 514 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: there are so many networks now, and so when you're 515 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: looking on social I myself sometimes see it like people 516 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: I know they seem to have like these huge tribes 517 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: of like thirty people. I'm a big believer in like 518 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: quality over quantity, and so your tribe maybe two people, 519 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: it may be three people. But if you actually sit 520 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: down and think about it, you know who they are. 521 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: You've met them in your career, you've kind of maybe 522 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: come up with them, and you've just lost touch and 523 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: it's about re engaging because you can't be poured into 524 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: if you're not pouring into others. Right, you can't get 525 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: your cup filled if you're not filling others. So I 526 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: would say start small. Don't think it has to be 527 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: like and you and the tribe I'm talking about, we're 528 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: very busy women. We don't talk every day, we don't 529 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: talk every week, sometimes it's not every month. But when 530 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: we do talk, it feels like we just talked yesterday. 531 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: And so I would say, look for that feeling, right, 532 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: you don't have to have don't try to say I 533 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: want the most credential person and it has to be this. 534 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: Look for that. It's like finding your person. Look for 535 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: the person that you can talk to where it feels 536 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: like you literally just talked to them yesterday. And don't 537 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: be surprised if it's someone you actually probably met two 538 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: days ago. Like I just met a woman today and 539 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: at this amazing lunch, and I'm like, I think this 540 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: might be one of my people because immediately we hit 541 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: it off and then we already said like we're gonna 542 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 1: have drinks on Friday. Be open because maybe you're meeting 543 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: your tribe right now, they're out there, just I think, 544 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: don't focus on the Instagram version of what you think 545 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: they should look like. And they're going on girls' trips 546 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: and that may not be your way. Your way maybe 547 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: just you know two or three people that you feel 548 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: like every time you talk to them you had just 549 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: spoken to them yesterday. Yeah. 550 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 3: I love that takeaway and this really beautiful concept that 551 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: you can meet your people at any moment, in any scenario. 552 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: Person right any second, whether we're talking about out finding 553 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 3: the people that will anchor you moving forward, or just 554 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 3: in your day to day going about your life, any 555 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 3: second is a chance for you to start over. So 556 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 3: if you don't have a group right now that you 557 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: feel like you can lean into as your board of directors, 558 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 3: your personal board of directors, that doesn't mean that you 559 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 3: can't have them. You just have to be willing to 560 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 3: open yourself up to creating and cultivating those relationships. I 561 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 3: get asked so often, if we bring it back to running, 562 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: that how do I know if a run club is 563 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 3: for me? 564 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 2: And a run club could look buzzy and. 565 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 3: Exciting and fun, but you won't know if it's for 566 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 3: you unless you show up there. Look away from your 567 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 3: phone be where your feet are and try to engage 568 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: with those around you and feel it out for yourself. Right, 569 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 3: something can look exciting and shining and wonderful, but that 570 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's going to be your thing. 571 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: And just be honest with yourself too, Like, if you're 572 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: an introvert, not going to show up at the most 573 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: hype run club and feel comfortable, it's just not who 574 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: you are. Like if you're truly like I get intimidated 575 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: by those moments, that's fine, But I'm telling you, the 576 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: run club is out there for you, a group of 577 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,239 Speaker 1: people who are like they still want to meet up 578 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: and then maybe go have coffee versus you know. I've 579 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: been around a lot of run clubs lately, and I 580 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: think what I've learned is that they literally are little 581 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: microcosms and they like they there's one there's a run 582 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: club for every person. There's the run clubs where like 583 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: they're so stylish and they run so hard, and you 584 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, oh, I thought that you 585 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: were like, you know, kind of be jogging, but no, 586 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: they are like here for you know, they are the 587 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: they literally go all out, like personal accomplishment is key 588 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: for them. And then you have the run crews that 589 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: are like amazing. They're like you can walk run, there's 590 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: no pressure, like you will find the one for you. 591 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: I agree with you. 592 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: Just put your phone away. 593 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 3: Taking a break today's episode to give some love to 594 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 3: a new sponsor on the show, and that is Pillar. 595 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: Pillar is a performance health brand developed by leading sports scientists, 596 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 3: the dietitians and athletes. They're focused on getting you to 597 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 3: whatever starting line you are approaching right now in the 598 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 3: best condition possible. Now, I have been on such a 599 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 3: journey with my nutrition over the last year and recently, 600 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 3: like many of you, I am sure I have been 601 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 3: super interested in creatine. Now, not all creatines are created equal. 602 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 3: In the case of Pillars creatine monohydrate, it features single 603 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: origin creature made in Germany, the purest form of creating 604 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 3: monohydrate available and unlike most brands, Informed Sports certified. So 605 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 3: I know you're wondering why take creating well. First and foremost, 606 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: it's important for energy production. Creatine helps replenish ATP, the 607 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 3: body's primary energy source, and that means higher sprint capacity 608 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 3: and better overall athletic performance plus enhanced recovery. In training, 609 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 3: Creatine reduces muscle damage and an inflammation while promoting faster 610 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 3: glycogen realplenishment. I know that sounds buzzy, but essentially what 611 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 3: I'm saying here quicker recovery between training sessions and races. 612 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 3: And last, but not least, I've got to highlight the 613 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 3: cognitive benefits. Creatin supports brain function, reducing mental fatigue, and 614 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 3: improving focus throughout endurance events. I cannot stress this enough. 615 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 3: Over the last two and a half months, as I've 616 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 3: been taking Creating, I feel not only a difference in 617 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 3: my energy levels, in my ability to focus, but candidly 618 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 3: also in the way that my body looks. I have 619 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: never had muscle definition like I have right now. And 620 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give this layup directly to Pillar now.

Individual group doesn't matter, get them into sport. 659 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: It teaches. Swimming for me was literally the example of 660 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: what life is like. Swimming is unforgiving. You go in, 661 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: you practice five days a week, you take two days off, 662 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: you get back in the water. The monkey's on your back. 663 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: Like everything you did. Try to hit the fastest time 664 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: you did on the end of that five days stretched before. 665 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: You won't hit it that first day back. Because it 666 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: teaches you, It makes you humble, Like I was a 667 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: distance summer two and I was a butterfly blackstroke, so 668 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: I was a diamar is very lonely when you're doing 669 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: a five hundredth that like, you have to dig deep, 670 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: you have to learn how to keep like to find 671 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: a way to self motivate because it is a heartswort 672 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: I think being an athlete though, and that's why I 673 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: think it's important to put kids in sport early. It 674 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: teaches you how to manage your time. You know, I 675 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: don't think my parents were when I went to college 676 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: because I like, I know how to manage my time. 677 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: It teaches you because you have to if you search, 678 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: if you're at a certain level in high school and 679 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: you're playing sport, you have to do your homework a 680 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: certain time, you have to eat a certain time. You 681 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: just have to do those things. I think, as a woman, 682 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: what I appreciate it so much was that it taught 683 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: me how to really trust my body, how my body 684 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: will ebb and flow. It helped me definitely have a 685 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: baby at thirty eight, Like just not the fact that 686 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: I was strong, but just like I knew what was 687 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: going on with my body. I knew how it felt, 688 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: I knew what it should feel like. Teaching pain is 689 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: not an enemy. It teaches you pain is a signal 690 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: that something's going on. And I think as an athlete 691 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: you learn all of these great things about your body, 692 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: your mind, how strong your mind is. I'm teaching my 693 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: daughter right now like I was. You know how you're 694 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: sitting and I'm like, oh, what do I need a teacher? 695 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, I need to teach your visualization. 696 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: Just scrolling through your own what should I talk to 697 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: your daughter? I know it's crazy, but sometimes I'm like, 698 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: it really often happens. This is going to be horrible, 699 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: but it happens when I'm at work and I'm looking 700 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: at people interact with each other and I'm like, huh, 701 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: somebody raised that person and they taught them that. So 702 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm often like, Okay, I need to teach her certain things. 703 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: And so she's pretty resilient. But I was watching her 704 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: the other day and she failed at something and she 705 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: was shine, but you could tell like she was like 706 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: wait what, And I was like, I need to teach 707 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: her visualization because that As a swimmer, you learn that 708 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: very early. You learn like where your hand is placed where, 709 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: Like you learn when you're gonna and probably say Mamarna, 710 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: you learn how your breathing works. You learn when you're 711 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: gonna flip. You learn like you visualize the actual race 712 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: before you get into it, get it off the blocks 713 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: coming up, like you see it. I mean, I'm literally 714 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: talking to you right now and I'm like visualizing and 715 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: i can hear the water, and that is something you learn. 716 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: It's not something that you just like, all of a sudden, 717 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: you can do. You have to learn it because it 718 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: teaches you how to be prepared even if something goes awry. 719 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: And so I think that is something that I take 720 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: into my corporate life, like I visualize the presentation before 721 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: I give it. I know, like I visualize like the responses. 722 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: I like you all the things that I've learned as 723 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: an athlete. Something that's harder than I expect it, I 724 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: don't freak out because I learned as an athlete, like 725 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: to expect the unexpected, and like how to keep going 726 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 1: someone who you beat last time, I'm sorry, they came 727 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: back and they killed you. You can't like the humbleness 728 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: of that that you take that as an adult, particularly 729 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: as a marketer. So I think being an athlete has 730 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: such great lessons for life, from the physicality to the 731 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: mental to the relationships you have with your coach. Being 732 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: an athlete teaches you like it's a journey. There's not 733 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: like an overnight success. If you really want to be 734 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: good at this sport, you can't just practice when practice happens. 735 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: And that's the same thing about life. If you really 736 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: want to be good at anything, you can't just work 737 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: when work is from nine to five, Like you can't 738 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: when you're in the office, particularly in this hybrid world 739 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: we live in now, Like you really, if you really 740 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: want it, you have to go after it. 741 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, what does going after it look like for you 742 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: these days? When we think about your day to day? 743 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 3: Are you the kind of person that gets up early 744 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 3: and goes to badly? 745 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 2: What's it look like for you? 746 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: I have to sleep, I can think. I think that's 747 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: residual from swimming, Like I have to have eight to 748 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 1: nine hours of rest. I do. I can function on six, 749 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: but it's not pretty. I am an early bird, like I. 750 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: My mind is fresh in the morning. I think better 751 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: in the morning. I see everything better. I like everything 752 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: I have to write I typically do in the morning. 753 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 2: I was going to ask you, so, how do you 754 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 2: use being an early bird? 755 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: Hi? I'd rather go to bed at like eight thirty 756 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: and then wake up at four am and get it done. 757 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 2: Like that's both. 758 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I can't. I'm not the I can't 759 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: do it at night. I don't even know what I'm writing. 760 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm saying like I need to 761 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: go to sleep. I mean, I'm at my best in 762 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: the morning. I'm very organized. I don't know why I'm 763 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: ashamed to say that, but for me, it's like I 764 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: need to connect the dots and I need to plan ahead. 765 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 1: And I believe it gives freedom to people in your 766 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: life when you are organized in that chaotic right. 767 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 2: So I'm so interested in the I don't know why 768 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 2: I'm ashamed. 769 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: Of that, because I think people often associate that with 770 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: like not being able to release control. Listen, I believe 771 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: that it's important to enable people to live their lives. 772 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: So I'm super organized so that you know, like what 773 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 1: my boundaries are and what I can and connect comment to. Also, 774 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: you know, have a lot going on. Yeah, so I 775 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: like to plant. Like the other day someone was like, 776 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: you already know where you're going for familycation in June. 777 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I new in December. 778 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: That feels normal? 779 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: Does I feel normal? 780 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: I feel like it's. 781 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 3: One thing if you're a woman traveling alone, and right 782 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 3: now it's April, and I think to myself, maybe I'll 783 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 3: go somewhere the first week of June. Cool, it's just me, 784 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: myself and I it's very different when you're coordinating a 785 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 3: significant other and a child and need to make a compositions. 786 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: Organization is important to me. I'm never going to be 787 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: ashamed to say it again. I really think it's super important. 788 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't like to be surprised. I don't like to 789 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,399 Speaker 1: in the sense of like, we didn't have a plan. 790 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: I like to have a plan and then be like, Okay, 791 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: we changed our mind. 792 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 3: And those are interchangeable for you, is what I'm hearing. Like, 793 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,479 Speaker 3: organization equals I have a plan. 794 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: Correct. 795 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 3: One of the first people I ever had on hurdle 796 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 3: he said something that always stuck with me, which was 797 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 3: that if you don't. 798 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 2: Have a plan B, then you don't have a plan 799 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 2: at all. 800 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: Agreed. Yeah, and I grew up. If you this is 801 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: very old school, but my dad would say, if you 802 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,800 Speaker 1: failed a plan, then you are a plan to fill. Yeah, 803 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: so have a plan. 804 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, have a plan. 805 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 3: You know, earlier you talked about how these days we're 806 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 3: seeing such a crossover between let's say sports style, lifestyle 807 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 3: and performance. Let's talk a little bit about, for sure, 808 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 3: how are you embracing that over at Sockeneye. 809 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: I have to always start with that. Then at the 810 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 1: end of the day. We know who we are. We're 811 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: a running brand where they're originally original running show, original 812 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: running brand. That's who we are. We have such great 813 00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: heritage and running and we'll never not be a running brand. 814 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: But I think what we're seeing is kind of what 815 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier around the run crews and 816 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: the run culture is evolving where people are looking for 817 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: options that fit their whole life. Can they take it 818 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: from running to a movie, running to work and it's 819 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: not the athlesire look right, I think that's very different. 820 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: And I always talk like people like, oh, you're talking 821 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: about you know covid usherot athesier. It did, But I'm 822 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: not talking about that. This is very high elevated styled 823 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: footwear that people can also run in and they love it. 824 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: And so we're seeing at socany this huge embrace of culture, 825 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: and we're seeing the younger consumers mid twenties to mid 826 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: thirties really leading and influencing the way that it's not 827 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: really sneaker head, it's not really elite performance. It's the 828 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: blending of the two. It's this intersection of I want 829 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: something that I actually style from foot to head versus 830 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: head to toe like they start with this shoe, and 831 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: so I think, you know, I was very blessed to 832 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: walk into just product lineage, and our product team has 833 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: done such an amazing job before I got here of 834 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: really just going into the archives looking at the amazing 835 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: shoes that we've created over time, and then figuring out, okay, 836 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: now what do we want to do next with that silhouette, 837 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: what color way is actually happening that it's going to 838 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: break through. I couldn't really do this job if I 839 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: didn't have a good product. And I think the product 840 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: is feeding off of what consumers are telling and showing. 841 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: And this is the exciting part because we want to 842 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: be ahead of it a little bit, but not too 843 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: far ahead that we don't meet the needs of the consumer. 844 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: And I think the product team that I am lucky 845 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: to work with because they were all there before I 846 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: got here, they recognize that and they are very, very 847 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: very smart about figuring out how to leverage collaborations. And 848 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: that's some use to actually give us this opportunity from 849 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: marketing perspective, to drive energy and heat around the brand 850 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: and of that trend, but then also pulling it through 851 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: our distribution channels, either online or whether our wholesalers where 852 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: broader consumers can get a taste of it too. So 853 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: it's a process. I think we're we have robust conversations 854 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: all the time around like how do we sequence it? 855 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: But the best approach that we're taking is really listening 856 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:12,760 Speaker 1: to the consumer. 857 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, for someone who doesn't know SMU. 858 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: It's a special makeup. So when you work with like 859 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: right now, we have a great one with Nordstrom, and 860 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: we have a great one with Anthropology. We just launched 861 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: one with Sweady Betty as sister brand, So that's kind 862 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: of what that means. 863 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I feel like sometimes I'm always like, Okay, 864 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna like, for a second, assume that maybe 865 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 3: they don't know anything. Agree, I didn't inside, and you 866 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 3: probably asked the same question, like what is that exactly? 867 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 3: See that you and I have. 868 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 2: This in common. 869 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, And as someone who loves to plan, I know 870 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 3: that that is something you get to do quite often 871 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 3: in your role. 872 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 2: Right now, you're talking fall twenty six. 873 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: Right now we are talking both spring, summer, autum winter 874 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty sixth we are in twenty five thinking about what 875 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 1: happened in twenty four to help us learn. So it 876 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: is interesting. You are thinking about four seasons at once 877 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: that I would say, if there's any one challenge with 878 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: this job. And I worked in retail before, but it 879 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 1: was very different. Four seasons sometimes looking at you know, 880 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: a span of six because you're looking at results and 881 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: trying to and for the future. Then also two seasons ahead. 882 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: That is the hardest. I don't know how they've done it. 883 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how. The team that I work with, 884 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: who've been in this industry forever, I don't I don't 885 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: know how they've done that. 886 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 3: You talked about the desire for a sneaker that's going 887 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 3: to take you from street to run, rue to wherever 888 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 3: you may be going. What's the sneaker in the Sockney 889 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 3: suite that meets that. 890 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they all kind of do, obviously, our programed 891 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: omni family does. Because I love the Kanvar. It's my 892 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: favorite shoe. I've loved it before I worked at Socany. 893 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 1: My first few days at Socany, they all heard Kimbark 894 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: and Bark and Bar I personally love the new colorways 895 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: were coming out with them. It's it's not as LIFESTYLEI 896 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: as one I would think I would love, But I 897 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 1: love the slender silhouette. I love that I can wear 898 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: it anywhere. I love that I often wear skirts. It 899 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,239 Speaker 1: works well with skirts. Obviously. The Endorphin is something that 900 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: we talked about a lot. Had amazing march, so many 901 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: people loved it. It's a beautiful shoe. Yes, I love 902 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: the Endorphin too, But for me, my everyday go to 903 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: is Kimbara. 904 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 3: I would be remiss with you in this office if 905 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 3: I didn't bring up what's going on with the tariffs. 906 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 2: I know it's like everyone's bane of existence. 907 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, there's a whole. 908 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 2: We're gonna pay a lot of money for sneakers as well. 909 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: Now, I saw on the Today Show this morning that 910 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: like they're like the average ninety dollars seeker, it's gonna 911 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 1: be one twenty, and I. 912 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 2: Was like, oh my gosh, is that something you're worried about. 913 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: I would be worried if I worked anywhere else. I 914 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,280 Speaker 1: would say, I think, like, we have an amazing team 915 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: that's been put together to kind of figure it out. Again, 916 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 1: we plan so far out. I think there gives us 917 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of space. I'm not quote worried. I 918 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: am worried though, right like it's a change and so 919 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: and we don't control it. I did hear today there 920 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: was a ninety day extension except for China, So I 921 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: don't know. There's so much vagueness around it and so 922 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 1: much that we don't control. We All I can say 923 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: is I trust the team who's planning for our future. Yeah, 924 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 1: regardless of what happens. 925 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 926 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: And I think at the end of the day, we 927 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: really put our consumers first. We want them to feel 928 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: happy with their purchase, and we want to make sure 929 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 1: the price is right for them. What I know is 930 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: that the team at Sokany is dedicated to doing what's 931 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 1: right for consumers, and I think when we get a 932 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: final word on what the terrorists are, the team will 933 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: be very intentional and thoughtful about it. 934 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 3: I feel like it's such an interesting time to just 935 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 3: let go of the things that you have no control forever. 936 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 3: It also must just be an interesting time at Socany. 937 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 3: I know at the end of twenty twenty four, the 938 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 3: earnings report wasn't the shiniest, most exciting thing. So it 939 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 3: is one of those situations in life where you feel 940 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 3: as though you keep getting knocked down. 941 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 942 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: Right for us, at the end of twenty twenty four. 943 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: We were super We're excited that we did what we 944 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: said we were going to do. Twenty twenty four was 945 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: a rebuild year. What I take away from twenty twenty 946 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: four was that we were able to be able to 947 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: forecast our future so kind of control our destiny. We 948 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: were able to re establish some long some relationships that 949 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: we hadn't had for a while, both in run specialty 950 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: and then lifestyle. And we were really focused on one consumer, 951 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: which I think helps you have one socany And so 952 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: I think of twenty twenty four as kind of like 953 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: this moment in time for us to rebuild, reinvigorate, refocus 954 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: in twenty five, let's hit the ground, runing, let's just 955 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: get to it. I think that's what we're doing. We're 956 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: feeling really good about the year. Can't give up in 957 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 1: the sense of, like I think we've always thought of 958 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: ourselves a little bit as a challenger but not a victim. 959 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 3: Also a really big year, arguably for her and I 960 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 3: feel like we've been hearing this is the year of 961 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 3: the woman. 962 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 2: This is the year of the woman for like the 963 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 2: last five years. 964 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 3: But it is irrefutable right now that brands are more 965 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,359 Speaker 3: than ever, designing with her in mind, Creating with her 966 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 3: in mind that women are entering road races at astronomical rates. 967 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 3: Right now, we're seeing participation in Skyrocket. So where does 968 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 3: SOCNY sit on that? About the creation of product for. 969 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: Women, Docany has always thought about women. I mean, it's 970 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 1: crazy when I walked in and they were like, oh yeah, 971 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: our play as fifty to fifty women, and I was like, 972 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't believe that, And then I was like, oh no, 973 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: you're right. You'll see the brand continually to look for 974 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: those opportunities. We don't just want to slap our name 975 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 1: on everything, but we definitely think there's ways in which 976 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,439 Speaker 1: we can say true to our own strategy but still 977 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 1: think of opportunities and unlock the power of her. We 978 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: have a very robust fall marathon strategy that we're thinking through, 979 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 1: and I think you'll see us show up in places 980 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: with her in mind. We just finished in New York 981 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: or Coffee Residency or One is One Coffee Residency at 982 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: let Low Coffee Supply. We ended it with sixty one 983 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: female editors that came out who had never really some 984 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 1: of them had never really seen the brand, and we 985 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: talked to them and shared with them. Kind of here's 986 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: the growing trend around women and running and women in 987 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 1: fashion as it relates to footwear. That's important, I think 988 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: as a brand of not really come together in that 989 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: way with women who speak to women about women, about 990 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: our shoes, and about our philosophy as a brand. 991 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 3: As someone who is without a doubt at the forefront 992 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 3: of leading for not only let's say women within your organization, 993 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 3: but then I would argue across industry, what is it 994 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 3: that makes you a good leader for other women? 995 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't always been the best leader for women, 996 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: I would say, I haven't always been the best leader. 997 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: So I think what I've learned over time to be 998 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: a really good leader for women, you first have to 999 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 1: listen to women. I like a diverse cast of employees. 1000 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,439 Speaker 1: I think, like, you know, you can't have just one 1001 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: of anything, So you can't just have one woman, and 1002 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: you just can't have one person of color. You can't like, 1003 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: you have to have more diverse voices. There is part 1004 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: of like the everyday task leading a group and having 1005 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: women in that group, but for me, it's also being 1006 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 1: unashamed to say someone's name in a room that they're 1007 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: not in and particularly if I'm moving on giving up 1008 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: my seat. I've said that in some situations, like I 1009 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: would urge you to give my seat to another woman. 1010 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 3: Something that I bring up often is how can I 1011 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 3: act in a way that my future self would be 1012 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 3: proud of? So if right now I feel frustrated about 1013 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 3: something and I'm inclined to react instead of respond, I 1014 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 3: might do something that Emily in a week, a month, 1015 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,320 Speaker 3: a year, five years will hate. 1016 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, So how. 1017 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 3: Can I carry myself in a way right now that 1018 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 3: will make my future self proud? And how can I 1019 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 3: do my future self a favor? 1020 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, one hundred percent. Do not a step out 1021 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: of your character because I love this phrase, like don't 1022 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 1: react respond And if that means you need to walk 1023 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: away and take a moment, if that means you don't 1024 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: need to speak in meeting because you can't get the 1025 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 1: worked out without being emotional, like that is fine. I 1026 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 1: have cried in my office before. I have taken that 1027 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,959 Speaker 1: time that I needed to, like be, like getting it out, 1028 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: getting in the frustration or anger or whatever it is, 1029 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: the emotion out so I can come back and be 1030 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: the version of myself I want to be. And it's 1031 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: not perfect. Again, give yourself grace when you have those moments, 1032 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: have you that. I love the phrase board of directors 1033 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 1: that you can tap into when you need to. Every 1034 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: day is a reset and a restart. Don't bring in 1035 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 1: yesterday until today. Try your best. But again I love 1036 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: this idea of like, just try to be the best 1037 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 1: version that you would be proud of. 1038 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and every day is going to be different, rights 1039 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 2: to be. 1040 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,759 Speaker 3: You're going to come to the table every day with 1041 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 3: a different glass, a different cup, different sauce or different plate. 1042 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 2: But all that matters is that you keep showing up 1043 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 2: back to the table. 1044 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 1: And don't give up. Yeah, yeah, don't give up. Like 1045 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: I play this video, everyone makes fun of me, But 1046 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 1: it's SHIRLEYE Ralph Ralph who I love. She is on 1047 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: Abby Elementary. I don't know if you watch that, but 1048 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: she has had a long history and acting. She's not 1049 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 1: you know, she's not a ten year old, and so 1050 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: she says like, don't ever give up on yourself. She's like, 1051 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,319 Speaker 1: the best person that can advocate for you is you. 1052 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: And she at the end she says, it's amazing for it. 1053 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 1: She's like, if you don't make it at ten, you 1054 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: can make it at thirty. If you don't make it 1055 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: at thirty, you can make it a fifty. If you 1056 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,720 Speaker 1: don't make it a fifty, you can make it at sixty. 1057 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,359 Speaker 1: And if you don't make it sixy, you can still 1058 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 1: make it. You know, and when you do, bring your 1059 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: best self. Like if you give up on you, who's there. Yeah, 1060 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,800 Speaker 1: you can't give up on yourself. Bring your whole self 1061 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 1: to work. Be authentic to who you are. If you 1062 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: don't know exactly who you are at twenty five, it's okay. Yeah, 1063 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: don't give up with yourself. Keep exploring, keep being curious, 1064 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 1: surround yourself with good people and good habits. 1065 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 2: Good people and good habits. 1066 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 3: Someone right now, if they were to go to your 1067 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 3: Instagram page, they would see a loving mother and someone 1068 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 3: that's a cmo at Sockney. But when you look in 1069 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,280 Speaker 3: the mirror, joy, what is it that you see looking 1070 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 3: back at you. 1071 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm a believer, so I definitely pride 1072 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 1: myself very happy in my faith, and I think that 1073 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: has definitely governed the way in which I've navigated, not always, 1074 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: but definitely now. And I just see a person who's 1075 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 1: really authentically happy and proud of the stage I'm in. 1076 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: I think about I'm forty, I'll be forty eight this October, 1077 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: and I think about that thirty years ago, I was, 1078 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, leaving thirty one years old. I was leaving Chattanooga, 1079 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: the only town I knew, the only environment I knew, 1080 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,680 Speaker 1: the only culture I really knew. And I don't think 1081 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,919 Speaker 1: that if you told me then that I would have 1082 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: lived in New York for twenty five years, I'd worked 1083 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: in these amazing environments with these amazing people, that I 1084 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: would have believed it. I don't think that I thought 1085 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 1: this big, and I know there's even bigger in front 1086 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 1: of me. So I'm just I see every day a 1087 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: grateful human being who's just so aware that I'm so 1088 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 1: blessed to live this life, to have these opportunities, to 1089 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 1: have the love that I have. It's very to have it, 1090 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: and not every day's perfect, but I'm just so grateful. 1091 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,720 Speaker 3: For It's so awesome to hear that. And I feel 1092 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:12,839 Speaker 3: that so many women that I respect and that I 1093 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 3: view as successful within their path have said something similar, 1094 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 3: which is that I never, even if you were to 1095 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 3: ask me ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, like what the 1096 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 3: ideal is or what the goal is like I have 1097 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 3: surpassed what I even thought was possible. 1098 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 2: And that is the good stuff. 1099 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 3: That's when you know that you're chasing something that ignites you, 1100 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 3: that makes you feel alive, that makes you feel excited, that. 1101 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 1: Was meant for you. Like I always say, like, what 1102 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 1: is meant for you cannot be unmant for you, which 1103 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: is bad English, I know, but it's a Jamaican praise. 1104 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: It's like what's meant for you is meant for you. 1105 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 1: It's not meant for anyone else. And I think like 1106 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 1: we don't even know what's meant for us when we're 1107 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 1: in our teens and twenties and sometimes up into our thories. 1108 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: We don't even know the greatness that's in front of 1109 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: us or what we're capable of doing. And what you said, 1110 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: you just have to try, just go for it, Like 1111 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 1: I think, if anything I've learned in life, particularly the 1112 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: last decade, if you don't, if I don't even try, 1113 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,359 Speaker 1: they've already failed. Like, just go for it. Just who 1114 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,919 Speaker 1: cares if you make a mistake, if you fail, you'll 1115 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 1: learn from it because it's not really a failure, it's 1116 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 1: just a learning right. And I think if anything that's 1117 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,840 Speaker 1: That's what I'm most surprised of because I think this 1118 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen year old girl from Trideranooga was a little 1119 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 1: risk averse. It was a little I mean, people probably 1120 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 1: like no, she was always been this jubilant person, but 1121 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 1: I was very like, Okay, I can only go this far, 1122 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 1: and now something happened. I think during college that was 1123 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: just like, why am I afraid? What am I afraid of? 1124 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, just go for it, Just go for it. 1125 00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 3: I am the pod every time by asking my guests like, 1126 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,919 Speaker 3: what's one piece of advice they would have given their 1127 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 3: younger self going through this hurdle moment? And you talk 1128 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 3: so beautifully about the challenges that you fail, feeling a 1129 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 3: little bit like you were other for a little bit, 1130 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,680 Speaker 3: being a little bit outside of the box as you 1131 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 3: were coming up with in swim and then leaving Chattanooga 1132 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 3: to step into something new. 1133 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,759 Speaker 2: So you started to tell us. 1134 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 3: But knowing what you know now looking back on that time, 1135 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 3: going through that hurdle moment, what would you advise your 1136 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 3: younger self? 1137 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously the phrase would be, you know, go for it, 1138 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,360 Speaker 1: lean in. But I would also if I could speak 1139 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 1: to that person, I would tell her that she's beautiful, 1140 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: that she's smart, and that she's capable, and that everything 1141 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 1: that she needs is already in her. It just will 1142 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: unlock at different times when she needs it. Don't don't 1143 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,480 Speaker 1: try to go so fast, don't try to think too far. 1144 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 1: Live in the moment. Be present.
