Like I just I forgot words. I just 58 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: I was just really slow and I was feeling really 59 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: bad for myself. So I kind of had to get 60 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: out of this. Um a line from Sex in the 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: City movie my Mexicoma. Um, but I want to be 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: in a Mexicoma and so I um talked to a 63 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: dear friend, and she hooked me up with this woman 64 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: and she was an angel. As soon as I talked 65 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: to her on the phone, she was fabulous. As soon 66 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: as she came to my house, she gave off a 67 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: great vibe. I was telling you the things that she 68 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: was doing.

I have, 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: as I've ralfed. I've actually ralfed like like a like 74 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: a ralphing, like throwing up but not good. That's very different. 75 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: Not to be confused with Ralphie from Christmas Story. There's 76 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot of delineations of Ralphie or Stephen, Ralph Andrews, 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: my dad, Oh angel face. But what is the medical 78 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: or like holistic reference you're making. I don't know. But um, 79 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: I can't explain what I went through. Basically, she was 80 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: working on things that I was feeling at the time 81 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: from you know, what we had suffered over the last 82 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: two weeks, and my whole deal was fear, anxiety, and anger. Yep, 83 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: there they are the three, the three that I am 84 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: dealing with. And she said, like fear and anger were 85 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: kind of located in your liver and your diaphragm. And 86 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: she went in there and started digging. And this wasn't 87 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: like a pampering, calming massage. This was going after your 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: business inside, like trying to just work the inside of 89 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: your body to help you have a release. I told you. 90 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: She then worked on my jaw. I tightened up my jaw. 91 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I feel things in my chest and in my neck 92 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: when I have anxiety. She literally put gloves on and 93 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: worked the back of my mouth where I had tears 94 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: coming down my eyes, just to kind of open me up. 95 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: We did a meditation. We did all of that. But 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: the one thing I wanted to tell you about. She 97 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: has a company called sat Supply. It's drinking olive oil. 98 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: She is Greek. If you look up sat Supply, you'll 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: find Supply righting it down. She is very good looking. Um, 100 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: I already have somebody I want to set her up with. 101 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: And she she believes in drinking olive oil every single day. 102 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: It's good for what was the word we said? Anti inflammation. Um, 103 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: it's good for your skin. It's good for so many 104 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: different things. Look it up on Instagram. It's not a plug. 105 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: I did it this morning. You're supposed to savor it. 106 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: You're supposed to sip it. It's supposed to help you 107 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: out from the inside out. Listen, I love a product. 108 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: I'll buy anything in the store, and i'll buy anything 109 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: from a healer. You know, well, I've a couple of 110 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: different things. When we spoke earlier, Um, I was really 111 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: proud of you for doing that, because I feel like 112 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: that's also something that was like outside your comfort zone, 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: or maybe before any of this had happened, you weren't 114 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: as open to doing so. I think that that speaks 115 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: to a lot of things when we're going through traumas 116 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: being you know, just sort of having an open mind 117 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: about healing and not just suppressing it or being like 118 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: it's fine, I'll get over it and whatever. So really 119 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: working from the inside out. What I found was fascinating 120 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: was the liver that that's what you care all of 121 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: your anxiety? Is it anxiety? I think my anger and 122 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: my fear anger and your fear there, And so I wonder, 123 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: because I love a cocktail, I wonder if when that's happening, 124 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: or like when your body is like trying to you know, 125 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: hence why everything moves through your liver to like to 126 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: talxify you. I wonder if it gets stored there. I'd 127 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: love to learn more about it because I've always just 128 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: been a person and I grew up this way where 129 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, if there's a problem, like just 130 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: go for a run or go work out, and like 131 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: you'll get over it kind of a thing, right and 132 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: like get like some natural endorphins, which I do think 133 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: is really helpful in you and I are both like 134 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: this or it's like we feel better after we work out. 135 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: But I would love to learn more about your experience 136 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: because I think that even independent of not having you 137 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: don't have to have gone through a trauma to have 138 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: it be beneficial. So I think that that's great. I 139 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: love that in listening to people that she works with 140 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: and listen, everybody has like things that they've gone through 141 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: in their life and it doesn't have to be a 142 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: huge trauma. Like you said, it's just taking care of yourself, 143 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: your inner self. We do so much in you and 144 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: I said it, you know, we get our hair colored, 145 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: we go to a facialist to work out religiously, we're 146 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: really good, like I mean, get your eyelashes, get your botox, 147 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: get anything done. But are you really working on the 148 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: inside of yourself? I mean, it's just it makes a 149 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: ten of sense. And it was, you know, the things 150 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: she was saying to me, and the meditations we were 151 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: doing and so forth, a lot of visualization, which helps me. 152 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: Although I hate when you're sitting there and you're in 153 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: a full blown meditation and you're like, ship, do I 154 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: have to pick up the dry cleaning? This, go back 155 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: to end go back to his end um? But yeah, 156 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, and she said, it's not like I'm telling 157 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: you things you haven't heard before. It's just like, you know, 158 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: a level list. She gave me a list. These are 159 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: all the things, very long list I need to work on. 160 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, but I was so thankful.

But I'm really happy that you 171 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: had that experience and not now. I mean, I'm like, 172 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: can I get her idea? Like I want to get 173 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: in on all that action, all the goodness, and I 174 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: needed for sure. Do you do this weekend? I'm in 175 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: New York. I'm actually sweating currently because I've turned off 176 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: the A C. It is seven thousand degrees here, which 177 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was that hot there already. It's 178 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: not normally Kyle said, like, oh, it doesn't normally get 179 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: this hot into like July or August. It's like I'm 180 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: constantly sweating, Like no one needs all that. But I 181 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: went for a run this morning and it's like that's 182 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: what I'm into. The heat is when you want to sweat, 183 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: and it's that good humidity. But I had a great weekend. 184 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: I told you, um last week I felt like I 185 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: wasn't being a great wife and I was being selfish 186 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: and not really making it about my husband. So I 187 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: took him on a little staycation. We went to a 188 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: hotel and then of course I got in a fight 189 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: with the manager because the one I'll call him out 190 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: hotel they had to, like I know. And the thing is, 191 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: it's like I don't want to get in a fight 192 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: with the manager. I don't want to be that person 193 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: because it also embarrasses Kyle where he's like, please stop, 194 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm trying to be better about this. 195 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: But if I pay for something, then I feel like 196 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: I should get the equal service. And this will play 197 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: into later like our own business things where it's like, 198 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: if someone's going to pay for something, we want to 199 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: provide them with the best product, the best servicing, whatever. 200 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: So when I go to a nicer hotel and you're 201 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: gonna spend your hard earn money. So anyways, before I 202 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: could get in a full blown fight with the managers, 203 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: like let's leave. So we left and he was able 204 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: to rectify something and we had a great time and 205 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: we hung out on a pool and like you look, 206 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: having the pool top access in New York, like on 207 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: a day, like you know, the weekends that we had 208 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: was wonderful. So I enjoyed that. I will also, I 209 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: haven't said this yet, I'm leaving New York. We're moving. 210 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: We're moving to another place. I'll just say, who cares, 211 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: I'll end up saying it anyways. Nashville. Yeah, between l 212 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: A and Nashville, so we're both kind of you know. 213 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I got the full on New 214 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: York experience because of COVID this past year, and so 215 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to soak it all up. And now New 216 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: York like completely open. I went to Starbucks the other day, 217 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: left the apartment, no mask in the elevator, no mask 218 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: in Starbucks. I felt like a new person. And I 219 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: don't know if l A is like that yet, is it. No? 220 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. But 221 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: you're vaccinated. Yeah, yeah, And I just even though like 222 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of us, I know, you know, like when 223 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: I say that a bunch of us went out yesterday 224 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: it was a birthday party, one year old birthday party. 225 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: Got a big noboo date with everybody tonight too, Well, 226 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: you can't come, I know, someone said that to me. 227 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: That's someone. A couple of people were like, why do 228 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: you get like jealous of Aaron having other friends. I 229 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: was like, well, I was kind of kidding and kind 230 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: of not, but it was more of the fact that 231 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: like when your best girlfriends like hanging out with other people, 232 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: you just want to be in on the action. So okay, 233 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: by the way, they all want you to come. They 234 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: they told me you're just not in town. I know, 235 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: but well that's fun. Yeah, So we had a great 236 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: weekend all the things. And New York.

But 244 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: that expansion of the restaurant out into the street, that's 245 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: huge here because there's so many like bike lanes and 246 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: you know whatever bus lands or whatever that they turned 247 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: into restaurant space and they're leaving them, which is cool. 248 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: It's very European because they didn't do away with it, 249 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: and so it's fun to sit outside and um, yeah, 250 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just not I'm not like a 251 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: New York or by like you know, I grew up 252 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: on the West Coast, and so for me, it's like, 253 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: why it's still fun and exciting as someone who's like 254 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: hasn't lived here longer than a year, is like to 255 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: go in Like each neighborhood has its own identity and 256 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: its own vibe, So I'm into it.

I came up with that after many many 346 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: cocktails cheers. True story. So I was sitting in a 347 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: hot tub with ALYSSA Green, my husband's teammate who was 348 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: traded from Edmonton with him over to l A. And 349 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: we were visiting our friends in Montana, and we were 350 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: all kind of just sitting around and talking about, you know, 351 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: side hustles, and you know, we had said there's I 352 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: think then we were talking about going the season was 353 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: starting back up. It was an all star break and 354 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: what to wear and there's nothing to wear? And that 355 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: just always stuck with me. And you know, I had 356 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: worked college game day for all those years. I had 357 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: been on those college campuses on a die hard Florida 358 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: Gator fan from going to school there and being forty 359 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: three and trying to wear something that's either team. You 360 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: saw me like a couple of weeks ago, when you 361 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: came around to my house, you're You're like, what are 362 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: you wearing? I was like team issuing shorts and a hoodey, 363 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: I look like a five year old. You get that. 364 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: It looks great, felt great. So I just felt like 365 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: there was a white space within the team apparel world 366 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: that somebody like me who has a very tomboyish kind 367 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: of fashion sense, somebody that wants to wear a hoodie 368 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: that is actually comfortable and stylish. And basically watching my 369 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: husband play, I wanted to cheer for him and where 370 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: a King's gear or where a packer's gear or where 371 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: Gator's gear and then be able to go to dinner 372 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: in it. I felt like the gear that was out 373 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: there was specifically like if you were tailgating or you 374 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: were at the arena and you're or you're like wearing 375 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: a jersey. Yeah, we're not wearing Yeah. So I just 376 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: felt like there was a huge white space for it. 377 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: And that Super Bowl came around and I went to it. 378 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: It was in San Francisco, I think it was Super 379 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty and I was asked to host a women's 380 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: NFL Shop event and I was going to talk XS 381 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: and nose and break down the game and they actually 382 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: asked me to wear the gear that was there, and 383 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: I had said to my girlfriend Alyssa Green, I was 384 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: just like, how am I going to wear this? Like, 385 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't even like this? So it was then and there. Afterwards, 386 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: I went to dinner with a couple of people from 387 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: my management team and we sat there and we started 388 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: drawing it out and started talking about it and what 389 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: could be the possibility. And we were at one of 390 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: those tables is that you could write on, and I 391 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: just grabbed a pen and I was messing around with 392 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: my name and I said where and then you could, 393 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, do different we are and all that kind 394 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: of stuff. We took a picture of it and one 395 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: of the girls that was at the table with us, 396 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: her name's choral. She works for Smack Entertainment. She took 397 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: a picture of it, you know, got it framed for me, 398 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: so so I kind of went from there. But that's why, 399 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to do it. I really felt 400 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: there was a white space. But man, it took freaking forever. 401 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: It took about five to six years for anyone to 402 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: listen anything. That is, if you're the foremost authority, which 403 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: you are as a female broadcaster in the space, why 404 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: do you think if it was even that difficult for 405 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: you to be heard? Why is that? Why are there's 406 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: so many hurdles on your way to you know, a 407 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: branding or whatever whatever the item or businesses. I think 408 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: a couple of things. One people wanted to know if 409 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I would really get behind it. That's a big thing 410 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: I've noticed when you're doing you know, when you're pushing 411 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: a product, when you're pushing a company, when you're pushing 412 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: an idea. We know you have a busy schedule. Aaron 413 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: and christ how much are you really going to back it? 414 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: That's what they asked us when we wanted to do 415 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: this podcast. That was something that they brought up. Okay, 416 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: but how much work are you really going to put 417 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: into it right, um, you know, and you say I'm 418 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: gonna put so much work into it, It's gonna be 419 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: my baby, It's gonna be my heart and soul. People 420 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: don't really believe it. Also, this has been tried before. 421 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: I was told that a lot, but for some reason. 422 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: And listen the fans Mike mulbile Hill. The fans are 423 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: right down the middle. They are female and men. It 424 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: is especially in the NFL, especially in Major League Baseball. 425 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: So females really hadn't been catered to. That was something 426 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: we were hearing a lot. And then they were just 427 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: saying to us, Yeah, we know, we need to cater 428 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: to our females. We just we kind of nothing had 429 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: really worked, I mean had done. What's that are you 430 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: meeting with the league? Like, what's that first meeting that 431 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: you take. We did meet with the league. We actually 432 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: met with people that had the actual license. First. We 433 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: we met with a group that was already producing for 434 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: the NFL and we met with them and we you know, 435 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: getting in the door was kind of hard, and then 436 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: you got to come up with a proposal, and then 437 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: you got to come up with a present presentation that 438 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: a proposal and money. Well, yeah, and then they have 439 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: to go to the league, and then you have to 440 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: meet who they want to design it and style it. 441 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: And then it just never went anywhere, and it was 442 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: kind of like dating somebody that you liked them and 443 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: and sometimes they liked you and sometimes they didn't. I 444 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: was just kind of getting led on for a couple 445 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: of years, and finally I was like, this isn't working, 446 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: This isn't working. We went another route to a manufacturer 447 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: who had a license and was with the NFL, and 448 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: we got really, really really close. Then they had a 449 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: whole organizational change and the person who loved it, who 450 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: was at the top, was gone. So then it kind 451 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: of fell flat on its face. And I'll be honest 452 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: with you. I mean my manager, who is my partner 453 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: with this whole thing, Conscience Shorts Marine, she works with 454 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: Michael strayhand with Smack. I mean, we had our ups 455 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: and downs. We had a lot of fights about this 456 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: because when it was kind of dead and there was 457 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: no heartbeat, I was still like, let's go, let's go, 458 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: let's go. And she's done a lot, obviously was Stray's 459 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: line and working with the NFL. She's like, dude, when 460 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: it's right, it will come. And I got sensitive about 461 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: it and it really taught me how to work with 462 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: her and how to work with other people because it's like, 463 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: it's got to be the right time. And finally was 464 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: it Houston, the New England Atlanta super Bowl? We had 465 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: it in Houston.

This is the power 496 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: of smack, this is the power of what I can do. Like, 497 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: let us try this, let us try this, and I 498 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: don't remember. I think they thought about it for a 499 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: minute and then it got harder. From there. He paired 500 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: us with a man, a facturer that didn't work, and 501 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,239 Speaker 1: they weren't interested. And finally one day I just called him. 502 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: I was actually laying on this couch behind me, and 503 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated and I called him and I just 504 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: I think I started crying. I was like, I know, 505 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: we're so close to something, and it's like Julie Roberts, 506 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: I have all of this and no one, no one 507 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: will help me, and I have addressed for dinner tonight tonight. 508 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: He called it a favor to a manufacturer, and away 509 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: we went. And from there, gosh, we could write a 510 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: book about it, and still could. But yeah, it's just 511 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this and then I want to 512 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: get onto your route and we can go back and forth. Um, Ali, 513 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: what is Ali loves or it's not Ali Love, that's Peloton. 514 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: What's Ali's last name? From dry Bar? I know Ryan's 515 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: locating up right now. Yeah, I I know I might 516 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: feel bad. I'm blanking. I'm so, I'm I'm blaming my 517 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: forgiveness and grief mind right now. I wish I could 518 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: help you. The creator of dry Bar, I Ali Webb. 519 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: Thank you, Ryan, love you, um Ryan, our producer. I 520 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: saw her she was getting her hair done when I 521 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: was getting my hair done with Justina Anderson one day, 522 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: and this was before we had signed a deal. This 523 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: was before anyone was listening. And I told her about this, 524 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: and I just said, look, I have this idea. And 525 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: I said, how did you do it? How did you 526 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: break down the door from dry Bar? How did you 527 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: do all this? And she said it was exactly like you. 528 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: I would sit in boardroom after boardroom and tell them 529 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: of this idea of dry bar I had, and all 530 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: these men would look back at me and say, that 531 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: sounds like a hair salon. There's already a lot of those. 532 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: Why do we need this? And she said Finally, one 533 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: day somebody gave me my shot, and my friend Justin Anderson, 534 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: who's a hairstyle said, and how much money do you 535 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: have in your bank account now? Because she well, I've 536 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: got her products. I mean, I'm glad no her first name. Now, 537 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: I've never met her, but I used all the dry 538 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: Bar products, for the dry shampoos and for all the 539 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: other things. So yeah, all it takes is that one. 540 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: And for you, it just sounds like that honest conversation 541 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: that you had in order for everyone to feel like, Okay, 542 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: you're passionate about this. Exactly exactly. But her message was 543 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: if you believe in it, if you know it's gonna work. 544 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: Keep knocking those doors down. And look, I mean we've 545 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: had a lot of Heisman's put in our face, a 546 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: lot of you know, hands to the face man, not 547 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: so much. We still are, we still are fighting the fight. 548 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: But that's because we believe in the products so much. 549 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: We believe in the reach that we have. And there's 550 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: been a lot of nasty things said along the way, 551 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: but I kind of use those as my Aaron Rodgers 552 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: chips on my shoulder. You know, I'll always remember them. 553 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: They feel my fire. I'm not going to keep them 554 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: in my liver though I know you're not. You're not, No, 555 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm not, because you know what happens. It comes out 556 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: as cystic acne right here. And so I just got 557 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: one of those this morning, and I um, I was 558 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: so excited. I got it out very easily. Normally, you 559 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: know the jawline. That's an excessive amount of chest asterone 560 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm told weird. But anyways, it's hard, it's hard to 561 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: get them going. But believe in yourself. Keep knocking those 562 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: doors down, and you know, you have to believe that 563 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. But don't give up. Don't give up. 564 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: Let's go to House and home and then we and 565 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: keep this going. What made you want to do this? 566 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: And don't say you were bored. You have a talent 567 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: for this. Well, I very much appreciate that. And your 568 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: endorsement means a lot, and I know your space means 569 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, you've let me come into the 570 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: aforementioned warehouse and a house that you built with this 571 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: amazing clothing line to you know, sort of literally house 572 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: your business. So you've allowed me to come in there 573 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: and do a little bit here and there. In terms 574 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: of design, the impetus of house and Home for me 575 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: was based around the idea that I've always believed. And 576 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: this is whether I lived in a dorm room or 577 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: I lived in my shitty one bedroom apartment or my 578 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: first house I ever bought. I always believed that your 579 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: space is your sanctuary. And so no matter how much 580 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: money you do or you don't have, you should love 581 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: where you live and you should be proud to open 582 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: the door and who's ever coming over. You shouldn't have 583 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: to make an excuse of like, oh, sorry but this 584 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: isn't or sorry but this isn't this. So for me, 585 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: it was no matter where I lived. I I never 586 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: got my deposits back in any places I lived because 587 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: I was always painting the walls. I was like hanging pictures. 588 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: I was doing all the things. But I really do 589 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: believe that your home is your sanctuary and with like 590 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: to drown out all the exterior noise when you walk 591 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: in the door, you have to love the space. So 592 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: during COVID, you know, I was thinking about different ways, 593 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: and everyone was in their home and not allowed to 594 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: go anywhere else. So this idea that I always had 595 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: to do a virtual design company kind of came to be. 596 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: And I'm very much like you, like once I get 597 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: something in my head, like there's no stopping us. Um now, 598 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of stop signs along the way, 599 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: but if someone wasn't going to help me or you know, 600 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: I originally was going to do this with somebody else, 601 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: and I gave her till midnight to decide if she 602 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: was going to do it. She twelve oh one came, 603 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: she hadn't responded. I wrote her message. I said we're 604 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: done here, and I just think for you, Yeah, it 605 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: ended up being such a huge blessing. But that's the thing, 606 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: like from me and I would say to anyone listening 607 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: that's thinking about starting a company, or you know, even 608 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: just an idea that they have about a product, anything. 609 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: Just keep going. Look, House and Home is very new, 610 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: and it's literally like in utero, as I like to say, 611 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't even spawned into its infancy yet. 612 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: There's so many things I want to do with it. 613 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: But first and foremost, I appreciate people like yourself, not 614 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: just because we're friends, but like believing in you know, 615 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: having something outside of sports that we love to do. 616 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: I heard, actually Kim Kardashian talked about this the other day. 617 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: She was doing some interview, and everyone's always like all 618 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: the Kardashians, like we have to stop that. They have 619 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: been relevant for twenty years. So I don't want to 620 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: hear that it's like, oh, it's just a reality show 621 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: or she just had a sex tape. Like there's been 622 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: twenty years of equity and business led by Chris Jenner 623 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: that has proven that these women can sell ship and 624 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: there's no coincidence that Kylie whatever you think of whatever, 625 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: is a billionaire and that Kim and even getting her 626 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: law degree, like you can be She was giving a 627 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: talk and she said something about somebody had messaged her 628 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: and said like stay in your lane, and how it 629 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: was so motivating for her because it was very similar 630 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: to you know, the phrase to shut up and dribble, 631 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: Like athletes are just supposed to be athletes, they can't 632 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,959 Speaker 1: be anything more. And so anyways, the tangent here is 633 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: wh where it's starting a company, like where or from 634 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: me with House and Home. I believe in being multifaceted, 635 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: and I really really admire the business side of things. 636 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: I definitely don't know as much as I want to know. 637 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: How could we We didn't go to school for that. No. 638 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: I bought a book the other day how to Start 639 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: a company, actually said how to start a business or something, 640 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: and I put it in in the office. I mean like, 641 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna figure this out as I go. 642 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: But I also didn't go to school to be a broadcaster. 643 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: You know. I've figured that out with internships. So for 644 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: anyone listening or cares to know about an entrepreneurial start, 645 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 1: I would say, if you have an idea like you 646 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: did with where or if I did with House and Home, 647 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: believe in it and work your ass off. That's the 648 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: part where I am like the emails or the inquiries 649 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: or things like that, or crying half the time because 650 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: I just want my clients to be happy. I think 651 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: it has to come from a genuine place of desire 652 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: to want to keep doing and juggling right of like 653 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: prioritizing your life. So yeah, it's been really fun. I'm 654 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: really I'm really motivated by the potential of what this 655 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: can be. So yeah, what's here's my tom or Naldi voice. 656 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: What Harissa, what's been your biggest struggle so far with 657 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: the house and home? Thank you. That's a great question, Aaron. 658 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: It's the lack of time, I think. And I'm not 659 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: very good at delegating because I will pass off. I 660 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: have a couple wonderful employees and i'll pass in. Some 661 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: stuff I do pass off, like the administrative stuff, like 662 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm not good at sitting on the phone with CB 663 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: two and returning a vase that's broken for three hours. 664 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm just not good at it. But I'm good with 665 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: that with my own clothes, I mean, right. But it's 666 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: this control that I want to have because I do 667 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: want it to be right, and I want to um 668 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: as the face like the company, and like the company 669 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: is my own I think I have to learn to 670 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: relinquish some control and trust that other people can execute 671 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: it as well. So I'm learning to do that. But again, 672 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: like I said, this is so new that hopefully that 673 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: comes over time. And um, you know, one of the 674 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: many reasons we wanted to start this podcast was to 675 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: talk to you know, other women that have done this, 676 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: Whitney Herd or now hopefully we can maybe get Ali 677 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: web on here, but to just hear their stories and 678 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to just be women, of course, like 679 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: men that have been very successful in their entrepreneurial space. 680 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: I was actually reading today about Jeff bezos is announcement 681 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: that he's going to space with his company. Um, like, 682 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: here's a guy that just dominated Amazon, created the greatest 683 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: company probably that history will say it was ever invented, 684 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: and now here he is going to space with his 685 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: other companies. So talk about reinvention. I mean, it's just 686 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: a guy that continues to not just stay in his lane. 687 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's going to space and he's like, 688 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not only going to start a 689 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: space company, but I'm gonna be the first person in 690 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: the spaceship. So that's crazy. But um, yeah, I don't know. 691 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: Are you enjoying the process of where or is it 692 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: create more frustrations than joy. That's exactly what I was 693 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: just about to ask you. What has brought you joy 694 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: with house and home? Um? Yeah, no does. It's a lot. 695 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: And I think it's because in this hey good problems 696 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: to have. It's moving so fast right now and we 697 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: have to give up. Sorry, I don't want to interrupt 698 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: you. You You have all the leagues except baseball, right we're 699 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: just waiting from MLB, which is amazing. It's amazing and 700 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: you think that, oh, you have all the leagues, but 701 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: then you're like, but wait, there's how many teams in 702 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: each league? Right? And we want each team to feel special, 703 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: and we want each league to feel special. And we, 704 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: by the way, are a very small company that is 705 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: trying to make this work. And I think, what, Yes, 706 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: I do have a lot of joy. It's very cool. 707 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: I need to part of on my checklist. One of 708 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: the things I need to step back and do is 709 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: actually enjoy what you've done. But I do believe what 710 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: has made me so successful is I don't stop now. 711 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes that could really hurt you when you need to. 712 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: I eat the last two weeks, but um, yeah, I do. 713 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: I just I know that we can be better. I 714 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: also have a lot of fear that when foot all begins, 715 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: my focus and my energy and my time goes to 716 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: my job that pays the bills and my true love. 717 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm allowed to have whear is 718 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: because of my NFL broadcasting career. So I just like 719 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: little potholes that I, you know, fell into two seconds 720 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: before we started recording this podcast. I don't know why 721 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: that happened, and I'm confused why it happened, and we 722 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: need to find out so we're well oiled when I 723 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: get going in three week months for the NFL season. 724 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: But it's so much learning, you know, it just really is. 725 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: And that's why I asked Kevin Hart one time, and 726 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: I'm curious with straight to who's a friend of ours? 727 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: Just the thoughts in your head? How do you just 728 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 1: calm them down? You know? Like I just I feel 729 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: like I'm always making to do list because I have 730 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: so many things to check up on. You're a really 731 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: good to do list person, and you're handwriting is so 732 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: good like my to do look at itself like scribble. 733 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: You're very very good penmanship. And list. But I was 734 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: as you were talking, I was thinking about Bill Belichick's 735 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 1: voice in my head and it was do your job, right. 736 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: I remember working out um what Rando Cincinnati. No, I'm 737 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: just joking, No, No, I was thinking about got it um, 738 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: Randy Moss when I used to work with Randy Moss, 739 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: and I was like, what was it like playing for 740 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick? And he was like, it's exactly what you think. 741 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: That everyone just like his whole model. It's whether it's 742 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: on their Super Bowl rings of do your job. If 743 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: you're the wide receiver, just run the route. You're the quarterback, 744 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: distribute the ball. If you're the running back, run the ball. 745 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: If you work in the kitchen and the cafeteria, you 746 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: don't need to weigh in on what plays we should 747 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: be calling on the on the sideline. Do your job. 748 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: And so I think that in business there's the aspect 749 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: of delegation going. Hearing myself talk about relinquishing some of 750 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: that control. Is that if it is someone's job to 751 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: do whatever in your company and they don't do it, 752 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: then there's you know, then call them out, then you know, 753 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: asked them to be better. Things like that. I remember 754 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: my dad telling me a story about management, right, that is, 755 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: you have to do the things that even if you 756 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: don't want to do them, you're as the owner of 757 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: the company, you'll have to do. My dad owned the 758 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: car dealerships and all the all the sales salespeople were 759 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: like huddled around, and he's like, why are these guys 760 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: not selling cars? What's going on? So he walks outside 761 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: and he goes, what the hell's going on here? And 762 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I forget the guy Steve's phone fell 763 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: in the bathroom. He took a ship, and now the 764 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: phones in the in the toilet and they don't know 765 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: how to get it out. My dad goes, what the 766 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: fun He goes in, he puts his hand in the toilet, 767 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: takes the cell phone out, grows it at the guy, 768 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: gross washes his hand. He goes, now, sell some fucking cars. 769 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: And it was this idea of like, if it's yours, 770 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear what's happening. I don't want 771 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: to hear excuses, get the phone, wash your hands, sell 772 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: some cars. So I think that hopefully, um, I know, 773 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: I think about this as my company hopefully continues to 774 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: grow and yours grows even further that it's delegation. It's 775 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: allowing other people to do their job, and when they don't, 776 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna get called out for it, because you're the 777 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: person who will call yourself out if you're not doing 778 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: it right. If you don't show it for a game 779 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: and you don't have you don't throw Joe and Troy 780 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: I throw it down to you at halftime and you're 781 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: not there. You can't be like, well, you know, I 782 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: got stuck in the elevator and like that was so weird. Yeah, 783 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: guess what. You need to be on the sideline for 784 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: your hit and do your job. So anyways, I am 785 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: just super excited to hopefully have this podcast as a 786 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: platform to talk to other entrepreneurs and people who have 787 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: been wildly successful in their respective spaces so we can 788 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: be motivated and learn and hopefully grow our own company. 789 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: Before you wrap up, I want to do House and 790 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: Home some justice here. Why don't you tell people exactly 791 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: what it is so if they're interested, I love you, 792 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: they could make you have even than your aunts. Yea, 793 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: I love you so much, Thank you so much. The 794 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: House and Home is a virtual design company can also 795 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: be in home if you are in whatever respective city 796 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean at the time, whether that's Los Angeles or uh, 797 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: New York, Nashville exactly. So the idea being is I 798 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: can design your space from anywhere. You send me floor plans, measurements, 799 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: inspiration photos, and then with things like Amazon and Target 800 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: and all these delivery services, I can design your space 801 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: from afar. So the conceit of that was during COVID, 802 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to be at anyone's home, but then 803 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: realized that that model does actually work. And if you 804 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: want affordable design, because that's the other thing is interior 805 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: design services are very, very expensive, and a lot of 806 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: designers mark up all their stuff. I'm not interested in 807 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 1: doing that. I want you to just have a beautiful home, 808 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: pay a set price, and then ensure that you can 809 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: have access to a home that maybe you never thought 810 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: you would have had, and you want people to come 811 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: over and you feel proud of your space, whether you 812 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: have a little or a lot of money. So how 813 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: interested is Jared Stolen in interior designers markup, especially on 814 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: salt and pepper shakers. I mean this guy, when I 815 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 1: went into where and I was doing a little space 816 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: in there, your husband was so incredible he was picking up. 817 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 1: He goes, how much is this? How much is I 818 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: just love him so much. He is the king of 819 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: a checklist. He had a checklist and he was like 820 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: going through all the items. What a guy that Jared.

When I don't have conference calls with teams 848 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: to get to, or planes to get to, or games 849 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: to get to, I feel like my days go faster now. 850 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: I feel like when it's game day or game week, 851 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: I do a better job of organizing it. But obviously, 852 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: for me, first listen, Fox is my priority. I know 853 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: I have to deal with where, and I have to 854 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: deal with other things that I have going on in 855 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,760 Speaker 1: my life, but they fit in. I look to see where, 856 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: you know my schedule, what it's going to be like 857 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: that week when I'm traveling. You know when our ofference 858 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: calls are going to be and then we try to 859 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: fit everything in from there, a lot of text messages, 860 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: a lot of like calls where you try to fit 861 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: in everything at once so you don't have calls throughout 862 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: the day with where and everything like that. You just 863 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: have to be really, really smart. And then by the way, 864 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: you have to deal with having a family and a 865 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: home and a husband. And when it's making them phone down, 866 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, and not making them feel 867 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: like they're last on the totem pole. When I think 868 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: you and I do this, I know that when it 869 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,399 Speaker 1: is especially for you and you have two games during 870 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: the week, you are very honest with Jared about maybe 871 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: where he falls on the priority list, and he's like, 872 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: but like, he's also really awesome about understanding that's your 873 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: busy time, right, So when it is the off season, 874 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: you make a point or a concerted effort. I'm like 875 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: talking to you, I'm like, where are you at? You like, 876 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to go stru because I'm gonna make dinner 877 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be a good wife. And half the 878 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: weekend I put my phone on airplane mode so I 879 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: could ensure that I was being an active listener. When 880 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: Kyle was talking or doing something so that it's good. 881 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: So it's just prioritizing. And then since we do work technically, seasonally, 882 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: you much more than I do, as my responsibilities are 883 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: only one day a week, So yeah, seasonal prioritizing for 884 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: Miss andrews Um. Next question comes to us from she says, 885 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: working for six years and I hate everything about my job. 886 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: Is this normal? Or do I start a side hustle? 887 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: What do you think? I think before you start a 888 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: side hustle, you should worry about making yourself happy with 889 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: your job. I know that I had said, and I 890 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: forgot where I was that somebody was asking us about 891 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: doing this for a living. Oh, I was doing a 892 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,879 Speaker 1: Sideline reporter panel last week. I just said, you have 893 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: to love it, because if you don't love it, you're 894 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: not going to be able to live this life. I 895 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: have missed all the holidays. I've missed Christmas, I missed Thanksgiving, 896 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: I missed birthdays. I lost friends because I couldn't be 897 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: in their weddings because they wanted me to be a 898 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: bridesmaid week and that Alabama ls you got, you know, 899 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: was playing like who gets married? When du Carolina plays? 900 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: That's your freaking problem. You're mine. I'm working it. You know. 901 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: By the way, Coach k love you great. He was 902 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: always the best to deal with um anyways. But yeah, 903 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: you you have to love it, so I would say, 904 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: and I know, my olive oil drinking self would say, Julia, 905 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: you gotta figure out what's going to make you happy 906 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: with this job before you do a side hustle, because 907 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,280 Speaker 1: that's a lot of work. And if you're not happy 908 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: with your real job, well, I don't know about bringing 909 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: more in. What do you think about that? I mean, 910 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: apparently I'm a therapist, you know. Well, hey, I'll sit 911 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 1: on your couch any day, sister. And I'm just looking 912 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: at my olive oil that I'm buying after I get off. 913 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: Where are we buying that olive oil? I need it? 914 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: On her site? I think on the Instagram. Yeah, that 915 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: peppery taste to it. You've really ignited a flame in 916 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: me to to take care of myself from the inside out. Okay, 917 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: So I would say to Julia this, I get you 918 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: have to pay your bills. So I think the best 919 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: time to look for a job, sister, is when you 920 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: have one. So if you say to yourself, okay, I 921 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,240 Speaker 1: don't like my job. But I know that I'm using 922 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: this job to get to the next job. Then maybe 923 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 1: that can keep you motivated to keep going to that 924 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: job with a good attitude, because in the back of 925 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,720 Speaker 1: your mind, when your boss is being an asshole or anything, 926 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: you'd be like, I'm fucking leaving this company anyways, I 927 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: hate you so much, thank you for my paycheck. So 928 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: I would say stay in your job, but informulate a 929 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: plan to get out of it, because sometimes this haphazard 930 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 1: thing of like fuck it, I'm just gonna quit my job, 931 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: and then now you're depressed because you can't pay your bills. 932 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: So being responsible, have a game plan while you still 933 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: have a job. And going back to what Aaron has 934 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: talked about and I've talked about, is that what is 935 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: your passion outside of sports? By passion is home renovation. 936 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: So build a company or build an idea around something 937 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: you're genuinely passionate about and be patient with it. But 938 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: you still got to pay your bills. Um. Next question 939 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 1: comes to us from Ashley twitch Shell, who is so sweet. 940 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 1: I actually love this question. She said, how to be 941 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: confident while talking to a new customer while being genuine 942 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: and likable. So I'll start with this one. You just 943 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: because I have like, yeah, I don't yeah, I feel 944 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: yeah like commerce, but that um, that idea of I 945 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 1: genuinely want to make them happy, So it's not hard 946 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: for me to want to be kind to them. Um 947 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: do I get frustrated sometimes when a client will say 948 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: I want this, this, this, and this, and then I 949 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: give them this, this, this, this and this and then 950 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: they go, you know what, I don't like that, and 951 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: I go, now, I got to redo it all. But ultimately, 952 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: as someone who's worked in retail a lot in my 953 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: life and I worked at Orchestram's, the customer is always right, 954 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: and I want those people to keep coming back and 955 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: I want them to tell their next three friends that, hey, 956 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: you know what, I was a pain. I changed my mind, 957 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: but Charissa was so patient, and so I'm willing to 958 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: take the hits on the front end of this thing 959 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: and know that it's a lot more work for me. 960 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: But my reputee Ashner House and homes reputation um is 961 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 1: far superior to the annoyances in my opinion. So um, yeah, 962 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: I deal with clients more directly, but I know that 963 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 1: like when someone tags wear in a picture, they're wearing 964 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: a sweatshirt or you know all that stuff, Like, doesn't 965 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: that make you feel proud? You know, that's like your 966 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: product is on someone's back or in their drawer or 967 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: purchased by them, you know, oh my gosh. Yeah. And 968 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: and just the fact that they would even look us 969 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: up and then put their credit card number down to bias. Yes, 970 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 1: it's all very like it's an emotional experience for me. 971 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: And they're so excited to tag me on their Instagram, 972 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 1: so I'll put it up, which I love doing, and 973 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 1: it's really cool. I think. One of the couple of 974 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: pinched me cry moments I've had was one of the 975 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: Hunt daughters wearing a Chiefs sweater at the owner of 976 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs Bills.
