00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, I'm back from Dubai. We're black, We're ambition, ambitious.

00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're back. No, I hate singing, heyman,

4
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 3: Back, that's all. I saw the face of your Halloween

5
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: I was like, wait a minute, did you guys witch?

6
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: It looked amazing. I did. I did.

7
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: I addressed up as a witch just it was the

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: easiest thing to do. And I really like that wig.

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: At Party City. Yeah, it was so fun. We had

10
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: a fun, little spooky Halloween edition of the show with

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: Dellianne and Mark Russell from Betterwall and it was so

12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: it was fun. Rio was not having the wig. He said, no,

13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: like mama new hair, take care book up. Yeah. And

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: then that afternoon it was such a crazy day. I

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: was fighting the same kind of we talked over the weekend.

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't, Doug, I gotta save my voice.

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: I got so sick, and finally today I feel normal.

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: But it was like a ten day virus something like that,

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: and it really was hitting me on Halloween Day, and

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: thank goodness, Rio didn't care much that I didn't go

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: trick or treating. I was like, we're going to hand

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: out the candy, which he really enjoyed. But five pm

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: on Halloween Day, when I had the wig and the

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: makeup on, and I was like with my box of Kleenex,

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: just going to chill out. The Today Show emailed me

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: to fat They said, can you be downstairs? Well they

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: didn't know I was downstairs. Can you can you do

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: a taped interview? And I was like no, literally in

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 2: the wig in the makeup, and I said sure, I'll

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: see you in an hour. So shout out to having

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: my cousin. She came in and clutched to watch Rio

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: and I've never taken off so much purple makeup so fast,

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 2: pretended like I wasn't ill it aired the next morning.

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: It was just crazy. I was part of a segment

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: on them. So the pay equity pay transparency law in

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: New York pass last week. So now, yeah, which is

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: so exciting. It makes everything so much easier. It's the

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: way it should be. But New York, for four million

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: workers now will be impacted. So if you're if you

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: have a private firm, most companies basically who are listing

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: jobs and have at least one employee based in New

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: York have to have a salary range now, which means

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: that now it's a good faith salary range. And what

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: I and a lot of Twitter sleuths have found is

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: like companies are taking good faith with a huge grain

46
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: of salt, and they are out here with these crazy

47
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: wide Like I saw a bank manager for Apple Bank

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: today that was one sixty five to two forty was

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: the salary range. So there's still room to go, and like,

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: obviously I hope that they make amendments to make it

51
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: more specific. But a huge win, very exciting. I got

52
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: on the Today Show. What the hell? It was a

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: not a bad not a bad Halloween day?

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: What we're Today' show? Twitch? I go tomorrow, I go

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: on set tomorrow tomorrow morning. Ooh that's right. I gotta

56
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: make myself a note. I gotta be like what you're

57
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: talking about holiday like savings all around, but like how

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: to prepare for the holidays, especially with this upcoming recession.

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: I didn't. I totally forgot. I'm like little girl, I

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: guts a logan, like girl, tell the girls to watch.

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: Let me make myself a note to myself. Like but yeah,

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: so Dubai was okay. I didn't enjoy with yeah, Well,

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: here's the thing I had a good time with. I

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: went with this black travel group, a woman named Kena.

65
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: She does this thing called the Dubai Blackout. She brings

66
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: anywhere from two hundred to upward to four hundred black

67
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: folks to Dubai every year. And so, like the general

68
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: premise of the touring things that that was fun. We

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: had a good time. But two things I realized, Like one,

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily want to travel with a group that

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: big because you just you're not as nimble, you can't

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: do as much. Certainly, though there was a lot of

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: like one off time that like my sister and I did.

74
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: My sister Carol came with me. But also too, I

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: why is way more commercial than I guess I anticipated.

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: It felt like the Disneyland of the Middle East, you know,

77
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: like I like a lot, I like some grits. I

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: like history. I like, oh my gosh, you know, this

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: is what you eat here, this is what you were here.

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: But there was a lot of like a mirroring of

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: Western culture that I already experienced day by day, you know,

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: Like honestly, I can't tell you one like I didn't.

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: I had food from other countries, but just not what

84
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: they eat do. But I could tell you I'm like

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: I had sushi, I had Indian food, I had and

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: everything was sublime and supreme. I mean, you wouldn't see

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: one piece of tissue on the ground on the highway.

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: Everything was like perfect, and it was super safe, especially

89
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: for women and kids because they they always like you

90
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: could literally take a taxi that was just a woman's taxi.

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: They were like if they were like they had this

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: thing called the Global Festival, where like they had all

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: these different countries represented in this kind of like Disney

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: World esque like marketplace, and they had like a woman's night,

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 3: you know, and so you know you're gonna be super safe.

96
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: You know.

97
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: Everybody was super nice. But I guess I was just

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: kind of like, oh, I could experience this in a

99
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: US and this part like this is like California and

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: this is like New York, and it's like intentional. I

101
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: think the initial king, like the first King of Dubai,

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: he was a world traveler, and what he actually did

103
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: was go to the Guggenheim and say how much for

104
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: the rights to be able to build an exact replica

105
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: in Dubai and go to Paris and say how much

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: to be able to build the Eiffel Tower, you know.

107
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: So it was like a very extravagant version of like Vegas,

108
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: where you.

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: Have it was a high and which in Vegas honestly

110
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: wasn't my theme, which Vegas isn't.

111
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: Say why you go there for like the difference you

112
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: just get. It's like a buffet, have all the different

113
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: cuisine and shows and glits and and like all I

114
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: know about a Dubai is like I don't know, the

115
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: really terrible Sex in the City Too movie, and like

116
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: when Fast and the Fury is they went to Dubai

117
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: but like super lux and like live your best life. Yeah,

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: it's very glamorous.

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like you know, it's I'm glad I went.

120
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 3: You know, I'm glad I went. I had a good time.

121
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 3: But I will say the part that I really like

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: is there are seven kingdoms in the UAE, the United

123
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: the Arab United, Arab Emirates, Emirates, So I guess I

124
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: am Emirate is a kingdom, and so I really liked.

125
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: We went to Abu Dhabi and they have the most

126
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: incredible mosque there that it's like almost like reminiscent of

127
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: the Tasma Hall, which I've been to in India. But

128
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: it was so beautiful and that's what I kind of

129
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: came for. That that's the end ofgy I like when

130
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: I travel where it's like, oh, I'm not in Kansas anymore.

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: It was so beautiful. It's like all made out of

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: all white like mar It was just it was just

133
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: so beautiful. I mean, you have to wear like you're

134
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: the traditional abaya, which is like it's kind of like

135
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: loose fitting garment, and you know we had to wear

136
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: the the job, and so that even that, it was

137
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: just it was just beautiful and so yeah. So but

138
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: like I said, along, I had a good time and

139
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: I just wanted to give you update about the condo.

140
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: So I found some more tea. Let me tell you something.

141
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: When you're going to purchase a property, see if you can,

142
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: like you know, especially if it's a condo, see if

143
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: you can like get to know some of the neighbors.

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: Because when I tell you, these neighbors been talking, honey,

145
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, that kindo girl that was on

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: sale last year, I knew I had seen it on

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: relter dot com last year. So I kind of give

148
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: you some numbers. So it was on realtor dot com

149
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: last year for like six fifty six seventy five something crazy.

150
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: But that's when, you know, remember when homes were going

151
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: for like crazy amount. So I guess, you know, just

152
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: was trying to get her coin, which I understand, but

153
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: it didn't sell because I just think that she overreached

154
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: with the price. Well obviously, because the market is going

155
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: to tell you, you know, because things were literally I

156
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: remember in my neighborhood in particular, which the condos in

157
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: the same neighborhood that I live in now, things were

158
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: going for like fifty seventy five over asking. Things were

159
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: things weren't even hitting the market, you know. And so

160
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: for the fact that it didn't sell means that, although

161
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: it's beautiful, it was priced more than what people were

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: willing to pay because the associate, I believe, because the

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: association fees it's kind of high. It's twelve to fifty,

164
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: you know, on top of the fact you have to

165
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: pay taxes a month, you know, so you're looking at

166
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: at least the overhead of like I don't know, eighteen

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: hundred to two thousand dollars a month, just even if

168
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: you pay cash, which is what I was willing to

169
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: do so six point fifty, like last year, didn't sell

170
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: during the height when everybody was selling, delisted it. Put

171
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: it back on the market this year starting at five

172
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: to seventy five, didn't sell, brought it down to five

173
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: point fifty, didn't sell. It's not five thirty nine, still

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: has not sold. It's been seven it's been seven months

175
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: on the market, so you know, since was like, you know,

176
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: I did my little research. I've been asking questions. You know,

177
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: is there a lot of noise? I was like, you know,

178
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: the neighbors have been awesome, just like sharing, like this

179
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: is what they like about that, the neighbors. You just go. Well,

180
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: the first time I went, I realized I had like

181
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: because it's newer and I live here, there are a

182
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: handful of people that I knew. I'm like, oh, I

183
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: didn't know you lived here, you know. And then so

184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: it was like one woman I knew that lived there,

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: and then she was like, you know who you should

186
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: talk to my friends such or such. She's in four B.

187
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: Let me make a text intro, you know. And so

188
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: that's how I got to speak to like, and I

189
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: even got to see two other apartments besides hers, and

190
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: they were beautiful. I was like, oh wow, and so

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: it just like, so I put in an all cash

192
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: offer for less than what you know. Apparently I offended her,

193
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: and so yeah, well, honestly I don't mind. I'm like,

194
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: what does that mean?

195
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: And what doesn't matter?

196
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,359
Speaker 3: So when you are putting in an offer for a property,

197
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: you know, if you put in lower than what you

198
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: know the person is asking, you run the risk of

199
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: the seller being mad, you know, And you have to

200
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: ask yourself, are you willing to walk away? Which I

201
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: live in a beautiful home that's paid off, and so

202
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: I was willing to walk away because what to me,

203
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: Although I am looking for change, I am not in

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: a rush. The truth is this place took me by surprise.

205
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: I was gonna wait until the Resissance of twenty twenty

206
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 3: three and get me a deal like that was that

207
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: was my sal Yeah, I think that was happening, you know.

208
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: And so but this took me by surprise. I was like, Okay,

209
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: you know, I'm willing to consider this because you know,

210
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: this is a beautiful space and it's in the neighborhood

211
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: that I want to stay in. So I put in

212
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: an offer that I thought was more than fair, because

213
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: I also found out, because you could see, it's public

214
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: knowledge how much she paid for it, you know, and

215
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: because she had the place fully renovated. And there is

216
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: a guy who renovates the condo, like almost all the

217
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: condos there, and so one of the people, one of

218
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: the neighbors was like, oh, you should, let's call him Paul.

219
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 3: We used to talk to the ball cuse I think

220
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: he did the apartment. And so I spoke with Paul

221
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: and asked him all that he did, and it was

222
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: like all the electrical, all the plumbing, which is great

223
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: because that's the expensive stuff, the you know, the the kitchen,

224
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: the bathrooms, which also the expensive things. And so I

225
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: was like, okay, so all the hardcore things that are

226
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: going to cost a lot. And then I asked him

227
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: how much, you know, so this doesn't include materials, just

228
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: his like, you know, just his rate, and it was

229
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: about sixty thousand. I had them give me a arrange,

230
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: so about sixty thousand, I was like, okay. So I

231
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: started to do the math. I said, say sixty plus

232
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: another forty for materials. Let's just say you bought it

233
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: for two eighty then plus another one hundred thousand on

234
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: top of that, that's three eighty that you you know

235
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: that you've put in because the condo was bought in

236
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. So then that's that helped to inform the

237
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: kind of offer I'm going to make. That was a

238
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: quick around.

239
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: She's flipping it.

240
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: Girl lived there, No, and so maybe she was attending,

241
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: because honestly, it's very if you look at the pictures,

242
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: it's very specific taste. So I think that she intended to.

243
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: I'm assuming because why else renovated in such a way

244
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: that's very specific from the materials that she used. But

245
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: then for whatever reason, you know, something else happened. I

246
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: think she owns homes other places because she's a business owner.

247
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: So but think about that. You buy something for two eighty,

248
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: then you put one hundred thousand dollars into three eighty,

249
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: and then you try to sell it for six fifty

250
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: six to seventy five. That's like a three hundred thousand

251
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: dollars profit, which girl, I'm mad at you. But it

252
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: didn't work out because the market said I don't think so.

253
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 3: And even at this current price, the market is still

254
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: saying no. And we know that because it hasn't sold.

255
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: And so but you know, at the end of the day,

256
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: it's her property. But something interesting that's happening is if

257
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: there's another property, So this is a four bedroom like

258
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: three and a half bath or whatever, there's another four bedroom,

259
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: three and a half bath coming online in that same building.

260
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: Because up until now, that apartment has been a unicorn

261
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: in that there are no real comps because there is

262
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: no other four bedroom, three and a half back that's

263
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 3: sold within a year in that neighborhood. And so here's

264
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: one that's coming online. Now if from what I understand

265
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: that the person who's selling it, they've already purchased a home,

266
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: so they're very motivated to sell, which means, let's just

267
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: say they sell it for four seventy five for ninety, Now,

268
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: all of a sudden there's a hardcore comp So you're

269
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: trying to sell for five thirty nine. If they sell

270
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: basically the same apartment for four ninety, that is the

271
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: new comp. Five point thirty nine is going to be

272
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: nearly impossible because one, even if someone has the cash

273
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: like me, they're going to be like, well, why should

274
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: I pay that when something similar is sold for less?

275
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: And then if someone does get a mortgage, the appraisal

276
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 3: is not going to You're not going to get the

277
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 3: appraisal because appraisals are based upon comps, which are similar

278
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: properties that have recently sold. And this other property is

279
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: on a higher floor and it's fully renovated as well,

280
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: so it's a true comp. So it's going to be

281
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: very interesting. I'm actually going to look at that property

282
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: because you never know, maybe I want it, and so

283
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look at it, you know, and if I don't,

284
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: I will sit and wait to see, you know, what

285
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: her move is. But I'm not in a rush. That's

286
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: one thing is that for those of you who are

287
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: looking to buy and purchase, there's always deals to be found,

288
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: and if you are not in a rush, try not

289
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: to rush, because it's very easy to get like because

290
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: I mean my realtor, I could tell she's kind of

291
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: annoyed with me because she's like, oh, you should have

292
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: put in for like, you know, hire, and I was

293
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: just like, why should I pay more? Because we're in

294
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: a market where it's it's hot potato, where these homes

295
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: were being passed around, and it was like this hot

296
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: market and someone's gonna get stuck with the potato and

297
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: it's very clear if I purchased it at the five

298
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: point thirty nine, it would be me because we see

299
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: already we're in a market where go on realtor dot

300
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: com or anything, you will literally see almost every home

301
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: has a download arrow of this home was recently reduced.

302
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: Like that's the market where it is no longer a

303
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: seller's market, but it's actually not a buyer's market either,

304
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: and we're in a rare fair market, And so it

305
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense for me to overspend. Now in ten years,

306
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: do I think I get my money back? Sure, but

307
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense for me to overspend because at

308
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: the end of the day, I'm looking at my holistic

309
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: financial life and it's an opportunity cost because do you

310
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: know what five hundred thousand can do in this market

311
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: amazon as the lowest has been in like how many years,

312
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: twenty years? You know, five hundred thousand in the market

313
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: now could potentially be a million, two million in the

314
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: next five six years. And so knowing that, I just

315
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: was like, no, I'm not willing to go. I'm willing

316
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: to like, well, she won't even negotiate, so that's fine,

317
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: but I'm not willing to go to the price because

318
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: I've heard behind the scenes that she's like, I'm not

319
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: lowering it anymore, which is her right, you know, But

320
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: for me, I'm not willing to overspend on something that

321
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: I know. Now, is it worth the money she's asking

322
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: or is it? Yes? But is it that valued at

323
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: the money she's asking. No, because something can be worth

324
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: a thing, but if the market says I will not

325
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: purchase it, then the value has been stated, which is like, no,

326
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: not this. It's not because of the thing itself. It's

327
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: just because of the economy that we're in now. You

328
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: just can't get that price. So so I'll give you

329
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: guys some updates.

330
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: You know, and seeing I mean, so it seems like

331
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: that is off the table then, and you're going to

332
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: look for a different property.

333
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: No, because I'm open. Here's the thing, Like I said,

334
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: I'm fortunate in that, you know, don't. I don't have

335
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: any mortgages. My house is beautiful. I'm just open to

336
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: me the one. If the right opportunity comes along, I

337
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: will take advantage of it. But if not, it might

338
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 3: be two or three years and I'll stay here, you know.

339
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: I'm just basically it's just like, if the right opportunity

340
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: comes along, then I'll take advantage of it. But I

341
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: think it's just I think it's important for our listeners

342
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: to hear, like, here's what's happening twenty twenty three. I mean,

343
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: there's some economists that are like, we've been in a

344
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: recession since since January twenty twenty two. That's what some

345
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: economists are saying, because you know, we had the we

346
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: had the two quarters of economic strinkage of our GDP,

347
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: which is like the output of a country, right, the

348
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: financial output of a country. So some people are saying that,

349
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: you know, we've been in a recession, but I believe

350
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: by twenty twenty three it will be an undeniable recession,

351
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: meaning like the government will say so and everybody will

352
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: be on agreement that. And too, although the job market

353
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: is currently still strong, I think it's lagging behind what's

354
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: actually happening because like there are a lot of small businesses,

355
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: including myself, we've had to make some shrinkage, like you know,

356
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: like I think in twenty twenty three, you're going to

357
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 3: see that people are going to be let go and

358
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: maybe they're you know, they've already gotten their walking papers,

359
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: like Twitter, where in February, like they've been told now,

360
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: but in February that's when it'll officially be done. So

361
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: I think in twenty twenty three, we're also going to

362
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: see an uptick in unemployment, you know, like although we

363
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: haven't seen it yet, I think the job market is lagging.

364
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: So you're going to see home prices decrease because they've

365
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: been on like a tear, you know. And then you're

366
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: also going to see I think a lot more people

367
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: unfortunately losing their jobs, and inflation is still has a

368
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: hold on us. And you know, Jerome Powell, you know,

369
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: from the FEDS, from the Federal Reserve Bank, has made

370
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: it very clear that he's going to do whatever it

371
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 3: takes to bring inflation underfoot, you know, if that means

372
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 3: increasing the interest rate again, which they just did last week,

373
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: and so interest rates are higher, mortgage interest rates are

374
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: higher as a result. I think we're at like seven

375
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: percent for a thirty year mortgage. Yeah, I think we should.

376
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: I think our next episode we should really talk about

377
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: preparation for the recession and like what our listeners to do.

378
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: But I'm just sharing that so you understand like my

379
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: thinking about, you know, whether or not to purchase of property,

380
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: and if I do, I want to do so in

381
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: a way that because at the end of the day,

382
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: buying a home is probably the most expensive choice most

383
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 3: of us will ever make. I don't want to do

384
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: so just because I'm like, I love it, you know,

385
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, it's gonna be a lot of homes

386
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: you live. Let's talk about the financial ramifications of that purchase.

387
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you brought up layoffs. I mean, as

388
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 2: a career coach, I'm already seeing it in the Mandy Moneymakers,

389
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: and it's one of the reasons why. Yeah, I mean,

390
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: not huge numbers, but certainly some people in our community

391
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: have been laid off this in the past few months now.

392
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: One was laid off in August and already has a

393
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: great job, earning more than she was getting paid from

394
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: the job that later off. It took her two months,

395
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: two and a half months, I think, so it was

396
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: a long wait, but she was able to bounce back.

397
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: So I think it's like, what I'm seeing is, yes,

398
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: layoffs are happening, and it's just par for the course.

399
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 3: You know.

400
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: I really approach career coaching for realistic position of layoffs happen.

401
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: I think if you're going to have a long career,

402
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: it's probably going to happen to you at some point.

403
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: I have been laid off myself, and the message for

404
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: me is always career resiliency, Like, how can you create

405
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 2: professional resiliency so that you have like a network who

406
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: can support you if you need support if you're to

407
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: be layoff, So people who you can reach out to

408
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: and let them know I'm open to a no opportunity

409
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: And because of the like the relationships that you've built

410
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: and the reputation that you have in your field, that

411
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: you'll be able to bounce back a little bit more

412
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: quickly than if you're starting cold. Yeah, and I think shit,

413
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: like on on Friday half of Twitter's workforce. Did you

414
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 2: hear that they laid off half the workforce, which is

415
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: just brutal. But then they were calling some people back

416
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: and saying just never mind, we think you should come back.

417
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: You're too essential.

418
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: Ah, not any of that.

419
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: What is Elon doing? It's awful. And he's already tweeted

420
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 2: like vote Republican and how he's one of his first

421
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: you know, one of his first missions is to what

422
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: you call it, like clamp down, clamp down, stamp down

423
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: on whatever, fight back against parody accounts because a lot

424
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: of people parody Elon Musk because he is.

425
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: Saw that Kathy Griffin. They kicked her off as a result.

426
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, so he's a bully. He's such a freaking

427
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: billionaire bully. And it's a shame, you know that a

428
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 2: man like him can just wield his influence and his

429
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: huge financial power and just take over a whole company

430
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: like that. And Twitter just felt like the people's company

431
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: in a weird way. I mean, it's a business, right,

432
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: but it just doesn't feel like that anymore, and I

433
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 2: don't want to use it. But it's not the only

434
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: ones like we're going to be seeing. And this is

435
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 2: heading into the fourth quarter. We're already in the fourth quarter.

436
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: Layofs are really common before the holidays, so yeah, I mean, realistically,

437
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: you should absolutely be preparing for what happens if you

438
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: were to be laid off, so I would be. And

439
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: a lot of the same practices that can help you

440
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: prepare professionally can also help you financially, so you know,

441
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 2: get your emergency funds shored up, cut back on expenses

442
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: if you can, you know, of course, Dust off that

443
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: resume and be looking, you know, take the take interview

444
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: opportunities as they come to you, and keep your networks

445
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: fresh and warm, so, you know, look for opportunities to

446
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: connect to former colleagues and peers in your network and

447
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: let them know what you're interested in. And certainly, if

448
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: you're hearing whispers, you know, some of these layoffs don't

449
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: happen out of nowhere. You hear whispers at your company,

450
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: and some companies tell you, you know, like they have

451
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: the hiring freezes and hiring pauses. That's a good indication.

452
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: Potentially layoffs could happen if these freezes are not enough.

453
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: So what can you do to bounce back? And how

454
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: can you use your network to do that?

455
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 3: So I have a question, So Mandy, how because you've

456
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: told me it took her two months on average when

457
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: things are not bad, how long are typically people or

458
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: your Mandy money makers, how long have they like, if

459
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: they lost their job, how long before they replaced it typically?

460
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I've only seen I think three Mandy money makers,

461
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: so it's not a huge statistical sample, but three Mandy

462
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: money makers have been laid off since August and one

463
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: worked in HR one War worked for a big health

464
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: coaching like a kind of like Uber for fitness coaching,

465
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: a company called Noom, and then another dank oh yes, yes, yeah,

466
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: and she was in like equity, diversity Equity. It's these

467
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 2: like HR roles, the two that I've had, and then

468
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: I forget where the third one works. I need to

469
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: go back and check. But like I said, the first

470
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 2: one who got was laid off. Actually she was only

471
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: laid off three months after joining the company, which the

472
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 2: same thing happened to me. First last one hired, first

473
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: one fired, you know, tales oldest time. She was laid

474
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: off in August and she had two interviews going at

475
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: two good job prospects going at the same time dragging

476
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: their feet because I do think at companies you're seeing

477
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: a lot of uncertainty and even if you had like

478
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: headcount approved for open roles, I think recruiters in HR

479
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: are still getting mixed signals, probably from higher ups on

480
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: can we fill this headcount? You know, one of my

481
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: Mandy money makers is in at a big Silicon Valley

482
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: company right now that you all would know, and she

483
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: is interviewing or was interviewing rather at Amazon, and then

484
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: her hiring process was put on hold, so yeah, which is,

485
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: you know, luckily she has a great job to shelter in,

486
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: but I'm definitely seeing it happen. And the first one

487
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: that I mentioned that was laid off in August, she

488
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: just got a great new job in October, so it

489
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: took her two and a half months or so. So

490
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: I think what you said about jobs sort of lagging

491
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: what's happening in the market's true. I think we have

492
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: to take a realistic look at it. And what gives

493
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: me hope is that, yes, layoffs are happening, but I'm

494
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: also seeing that people are finding those opportunities. And the

495
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: second one who I mentioned, who got laid off from

496
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: the health and Health coaching company, she's had interviews at

497
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: great firms and she's really you know, optimistic. And both

498
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: of these women have been executing everything that they've learned

499
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: through the Mandy money makers, you know, really leveraging their networks,

500
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: not being shy about posting on LinkedIn even about their

501
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: journey post layoff. You know, how it's been going and

502
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: what they're seeing, and but that's it's it's a reality.

503
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: So I definitely think that we should be if you're

504
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: working nine to five. This is one of those times

505
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: where it's like, Okay, what am I doing to create

506
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: more resiliency so.

507
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: That if when something happens you can we should definitely little.

508
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 3: I think we should have literally like a recession, like

509
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 3: you know, like literally like take questions Q and al

510
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: like our Baqa recession questions and then like a so

511
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 3: we could really deep dive into like how to prepare

512
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: your career, how to prepare your business, and how to

513
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: prepare you know, your personal finances like those three things.

514
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: I think that would be so helpful for our listeners

515
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: because it doesn't have to be this big, bad, scary thing.

516
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 3: But certainly, you know, the first recession, I had no idea.

517
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: I bought a house at top of market, like da

518
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: da da da. I'm twenty five and out here doing

519
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: big grew up session. What's the recession? Ru googling it,

520
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: we would well, ooh girl, they say people lose their job,

521
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: but not teachers owe me too. So my first introduction

522
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 3: to the recession was raugh and so we don't want

523
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: that for you. You know, there's a lot that you know,

524
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: we wish we would have known, and I'm way more

525
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: prepared now. That's why I was like, m Tiffany, even

526
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: though I would buy this place and it wouldn't have

527
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: a mortgage, you know, I'm still committing to like twenty

528
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars a year and just overhead, just basic overhead,

529
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: which not to say I can't afford that, but I

530
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: was just like, what's the desired outcome? And does this

531
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: meet it? Or just doesn't meet some of it?

532
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 5: You know?

533
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 3: And so I think every almost all of our choices

534
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: are also financial choices, and if we keep those in mind,

535
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: then I truly believe that you can, you know, you

536
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 3: can make a choice that meets at least most of

537
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: your criteria, you know, like and so yeah, So I

538
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 3: just think that I'm glad that, you know, they get

539
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: to kind of come along the ride with us as

540
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: we like navigate this because I love in real time hearing,

541
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: like even though I know it's not this large cross

542
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: section of the Mandy money makers, but it's it's real

543
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: life happening to real people that we get to see,

544
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: like what's happening when it comes to the job marker?

545
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: How long did it take? And then too, I think

546
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: one of the biggest takeaways is like, look what happens

547
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: when you actually have help navigating that space versus maybe

548
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: if you know, maybe it would have been four months

549
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: or five months if.

550
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: She was out here instead of getting feeling absolutely and

551
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: like the support of having a place you can go

552
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: and say, y'all, I got laid off today, I'm kind

553
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: of freaking out. And you know, it's been really wonderful

554
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: to see the makers kind of just cover these women

555
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: and cover their fellow makers. This is my first proceession

556
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: as a business owner, so I'm even thinking, huh, am

557
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: I gonna sink this much into my like my solo

558
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: four one care should I keep more cash, you know,

559
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: and my reserves since here, Yeah, I.

560
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: Can talk about it because honestly, like we I've been prepared, honey.

561
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 3: Like I was like during COVID, I was freaked out.

562
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 3: I was like, uh, we had one month worth of

563
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: emergency savings, and I said, it's not in all. So

564
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: now all of my companies have six months of emergency savings,

565
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: and well, we're going to talk. Like I said, I

566
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 3: think it's there's so much stuff that we could do

567
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: to prepare. But we also have pivot plans of like

568
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: I call it going to the bank. I tell it

569
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: to all like my mentees and my mentor Tiffany dot com.

570
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: Is that like, you should have this thing where I

571
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: call it where it's like you have your regular business model.

572
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: But if stuff is you know, the young people say,

573
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: if shit gets thick, then I can go to the bank.

574
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: And sometimes going to the bank is like I can

575
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: do consulting. Like for example, for me personally, I know

576
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: that if if I wanted, I could do one on

577
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: one consulting and make quite a bit of money. I

578
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: don't particularly want to do one on one consulting, but

579
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: if things got really bad, that's the bank for the Budgetista.

580
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: Back when I first started the Budgetista, the bank was

581
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: babysitting and tutoring. It was like, oh my gosh, Budgetesta

582
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: made no money, but that's okay. I babysat and tutored

583
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: to make money instantly. And so I think every business

584
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: owner should have some ways, even if it's not ways

585
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: that you're currently doing that you could tap into that

586
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: bank and say, if I had to, I could do this, this, this, this,

587
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: Like I know you don't particularly like editing being an

588
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: editor anymore, but you know, if you had to, you

589
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: could take make some right. You can make some coin

590
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: in the meantime on the way out exactly. Those are

591
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: That's why it's important. So now, but this is good.

592
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I just think, like you know, well, by

593
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: the time you guys hear this episode, you know officially,

594
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: voting will be over. You know, I know, I'm I know,

595
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: but I mean, here's the thing, here's the thing, here's

596
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: the thing, here's the thing I told myself. Regardless of

597
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: what happens, life move on, meaning that you have to

598
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: whether it's a Republican House Senate that like we will,

599
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: you will have to learn to navigate. Whether it's all Democrat,

600
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: you'd have to learn to navigate. And that's how life

601
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: looks like. You know, it's so cyclical, and you will

602
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: manage and we will. You know. The key is, with

603
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: the tools available to me, how do I make the

604
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: most of it? And that's all that can be asked

605
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: of you. So you know, just keep that in mind

606
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: that like you know, there have been worse that's happened,

607
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: and there have been better that's happened. Neither way, You're

608
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: still here.

609
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: So absolutely, and it's such a it's like a Buddhist

610
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: way of looking at things that in life there are

611
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: there are intense moments of joy and ups and everyone's

612
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: making money and it's all great, and then you also

613
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: have to be ready for the other foot to drop.

614
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: And I think that it's not pessimism, it's realism, and

615
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: that's what I like to bring to the table. But

616
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: there's still room to be optimistic. It's just about okay,

617
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: let's be optimistic and cautiously optimistic moving forward.

618
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and plan either way?

619
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely well? Should we take a cao break a break

620
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: and come wait shu, all right, I gotta think of

621
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: a booster break. Day was gonna be right.

622
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 5: Back, okay, and we're blacking back, and now it's time

623
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 5: for boostom bring.

624
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: Boost, don't bring boot, don't bring up boost? Are you

625
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: gonna boost? Are you gonna break? You're gonna break? Which

626
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: one are you gonna do? Magic? Which one? Will you take? Boost?

627
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: A break? Because yours is a big, mine is short,

628
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: So I'll just do and then that way we can

629
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 3: we can wax poetic on yours like after yeah, okay,

630
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: so minus willian leta of course, I just forgot it,

631
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: darn it. It was not like a big one. It

632
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, it was right here.

633
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: It's cheap it's too much energy helping me think of mine?

634
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: No, what was it? It was, oh, okay, this is

635
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: my my boost. It's I mean, it's a big deal,

636
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: but not like a big deal for me personally. I've

637
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 3: decided I decided long anyway, I've decided that. Like I mean,

638
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: y'all know, I've been like redesigning my life. I just

639
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: actually I've not spoken to doctor Green in a month,

640
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: and we finally had our session like last week, and

641
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: I was sharing her all the changes, and she was like,

642
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: are you just in awe of the women that you

643
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: become activity? And I was like, but I told her

644
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: that one of the things on my list is I

645
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: want more space and time to just do the things

646
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: that I enjoy. You know that sometimes I feel so

647
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: rushed in the next thing and the next thing in it.

648
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: And I said, so next next year, I told my

649
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: admin rose to put an X on March, to put

650
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: an X on August, and to put an X on December.

651
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not going to work those three months.

652
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 3: And I'm super excited about it, you know, because I'm

653
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 3: just like I you know, I'm I'm telling all of

654
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 3: my partners, you know, ahead of time, so that way

655
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: they want to work with me. It doesn't mean that

656
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: nothing will get posted, you know, but it just means that,

657
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: like I will pre tape, like let's just say, I'm like, oh,

658
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: they want me to do some reels or whatever. All

659
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: those things will be done because my team will still

660
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: be working. But you know, I want to create space

661
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: where I'm like, I'm not overworking, you know, because I

662
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: felt I'm not going to lie. I was doing really

663
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: well until the Netflix special came out and then it

664
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: triggered old Tiffany, which is, oh girl, we about to

665
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: get it. And then I was like, oh my gosh,

666
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: and I didn't know how to turn it off. And

667
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: then I got really sick with that upper respiratory and

668
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: it sat my my behind down, and I said, I

669
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 3: don't want to go back to that, Like there has

670
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: to be a way to you know, celebrate something good

671
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: or promote something without breaking myself, because that's what I

672
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: would just do. I would power through and I don't

673
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: want to be that Tiffany anymore. And so I do

674
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: say all that to say that like I'm excited because

675
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's what next year is going to look like.

676
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: I don't know I'm going to work it out. But

677
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: I told myself, first you work it out by intending it,

678
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: then you say it, then you let people know, and

679
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 3: then we work around it. And so that's I'm excited

680
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 3: about that. So that's my boosty. But I know you

681
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: have a huge booze Managi.

682
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very, very, very freakin proud. So y'all know

683
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 2: that I started my book proposal journey. That's past summer.

684
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 2: I started working with the book proposal coach because I think,

685
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 2: like a lot of journalists and writers, I always wanted

686
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: to write a book, but it was never happening, and

687
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 2: I realized I needed some accountability. So I started working

688
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: with this coach in June and at the same time

689
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: another coach for my Mandi money Maker's Academy, and doing

690
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: those two things at the same time made me really

691
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: pull back in my business so I could have more

692
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: space for that, and they worked and the like there

693
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: was a method to the madness. The coaching around the

694
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: Many money Maker's Academy was how can I create still

695
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: the same amount of value but less of a high

696
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: touch process or I wasn't so I wouldn't have to

697
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: show up live as often and reinvent the wheel every

698
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: time I had a new cohort. Basically, so how could

699
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: I create like on demand content and take everything I

700
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: had already done and just make it more automatic? And

701
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: that freed up time for me to focus on my

702
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: book proposal. So my book proposal I started working on.

703
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 2: I took a big break in September when I was

704
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: just free launching Mandy money Makers, and that went off successfully.

705
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: In then October I hit it again and I've done.

706
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: I've finished seventy pages of book purposes.

707
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm page girl.

708
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 2: That's a book. Yes, I felt like it. Seventy pages,

709
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: nine or ten chapters of the book. The working title

710
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: is quite your way rich, so right on brand. I

711
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: love it, Yes, and it feels exactly like it just

712
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 2: feels like what it just it's so cohesive with everything

713
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 2: that I've been doing the past two years in my business,

714
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: and it just makes sense and I do feel like

715
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 2: it's evergreen. And yeah, and even though yes, the pandemic

716
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: and the great resignation happened, I believe this is going

717
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: to be the kind of career book that can just

718
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: be a staple for any in their lives. But so

719
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: what happens now this is like a very big but

720
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: early stage book. Proposal is done. Now, I shop it

721
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: to find an agent, and when I find an agent,

722
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 2: they will then take it and sell it to a publisher.

723
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 2: So with Thanksgiving coming up, the clock is ticking. I

724
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: really want to have an agent before the holiday. I

725
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 2: don't know if that's realistic or not. My proposal coach

726
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: should be pitching people this week, but I hope it

727
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: finds a home and I'll keep you first. As ever,

728
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: let me tell you something about Mandy.

729
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 3: Hey. If she's nothing, she's ready. I because of how

730
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: I am. I said, let me see if this domain

731
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: quit you very rich is available because I'm going to talk.

732
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: One of the first things go gathering. I talk it

733
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: to my phone, quit youayrich dot com and I said,

734
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: oh man, it's take it. And then I see a

735
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: picture of this beautiful woman with these girls popping. Her

736
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: name is Mandy Witch of Santos and I was like, girl, Mandy,

737
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: you're playing with y'all. She was like, I love that

738
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: you grabbed that domain. I was like, well, she's a

739
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: saidate that people know she got that domain asent now,

740
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: But honestly, I am so happy for you and proud

741
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: of you, and I just can't wait to, you know,

742
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 3: watch your journey. Just make sure as you're writing the

743
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: book to keep in mind to save some reserves, because

744
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: I'm everyone says this, but it doesn't feel like it

745
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: because writing the book part is so hard that that's

746
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: easy compared to the marketing.

747
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm the marketing.

748
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, worry about it. We got you, but

749
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: I know you got me. I will, yes, But I'm

750
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 3: just saying that, like the book, I mean, the book

751
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: part obviously is very intense, and it is, but yeah,

752
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: you know, the marketing part is just I mean, I've

753
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: learned so many things, you know, I'm like and even

754
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 3: now literally because I have so many friends writing books

755
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 3: now that I just I am actually working on like

756
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 3: more easy to digest a checklists that I told you

757
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: many that I'll give because I gave you, like my

758
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 3: full seven month deep dive, and I'm like most a

759
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 3: lot of my friends are like this too, much, Like

760
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: maybe I could just get like a basic checklist, like

761
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 3: get their domain. Here's when you should start asking for reviews.

762
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: Did you know that reviews with pictures on Amazon are

763
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: prioritize reviews without pictures make sure you ask for you

764
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 3: see what I mean, So I want to get like

765
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: a checklist, so it'll, you know, for people who are

766
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 3: going to do the deep guy with my seven month

767
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 3: like kind of like layout, but also for folks who

768
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 3: are like not necessarily going to do all that, but

769
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: these little nuanced things that make all the difference. But yeah, no,

770
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: I'm I'm so proud of you because I know how

771
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 3: hard that is. And the fact that it's seventy pages,

772
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's such a I'm glad you did that

773
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: because one, it'll allow a potential publisher to know exactly

774
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: what they're getting, you know, because I'm not gonna lie

775
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do because I forgot how many

776
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 3: pages my it was around seventy something like that. Something

777
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: crazy too.

778
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: Between fifteen hundred is like standard.

779
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: I think, yes, but I want to do like a

780
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: ten page And my agent, Heather, was like, you can

781
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 3: do that. But the issue with that is then the

782
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 3: publisher has to kind of guess what your book is

783
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 3: going to be about. And she said, the longer not

784
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: necessarily the length, but more in depth it is that

785
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: means you've already done the work of really mapping out

786
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: what you want to write, and so that helped a

787
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 3: lot because I don't really care about what the publisher

788
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: was going to think. But for me, it allowed me

789
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: to say, Tiffany, I was so clear about this is

790
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 3: the book I'm writing. And when you know, I finally

791
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: chose my publisher and they chose me Penguin. Nobody was

792
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 3: guessing what's the book going to be about. We were

793
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: all on the same page because they they bought it

794
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 3: based upon the you know, the proposal. So it's exciting.

795
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: Oh look look at me.

796
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: It's a good test too, because if you weren't excited

797
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: to write, if you couldn't get the proposal out of

798
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: your body. And like, I'm not opposed to anyone having

799
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: a ghostwriter or a developmental proposal like co creator. I

800
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: think collaborations great. But if I'm like, I'm going to

801
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: be sitting with this book for months and years because

802
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 2: that's how long it takes, I need to really want

803
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: to say this stuff and to feel passionate about it.

804
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 2: And I did. I felt that way. It was. It was, yeah,

805
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: it was. I'm not going to say it wasn't hard,

806
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: because you know, you have to make that commitment and

807
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: lots of early mornings before Rio woke up. But it

808
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: was all worth it, and my proposal coach is really

809
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 2: optimistic that I'll be able to get a deal. The

810
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: first I got to get an Asian it didn't happening.

811
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: The book is happening. It is because it's one, it's

812
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: super timely to your point, but it's also evergreen, which

813
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 3: is really awesome. I want to see you on the cover,

814
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: just so you know. I want to girls.

815
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 2: Popping really, Yes, I do that far ahead.

816
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: Yes I know, but I'm like, no, we need to

817
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 3: get more brown girls on the cover. They need to

818
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: go oh okay. I like, no, I want to go

819
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 3: to that Bars and Noble section and be like, oh, brown, brown, brown.

820
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: That was amazing, But yeah, it would be amazing. I

821
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 2: just want and I feel like y'all are invested in

822
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 2: the journey. Obviously Tiff has been invested in the journey.

823
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: Just want to do everybody proud. And I want to

824
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: write a book that fucking changes lives and it makes

825
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: people feel more empowered the same way than I do

826
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: my you know, everything that I do in my business.

827
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 2: So it feels good. Y'all send me some good, some

828
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: good big.

829
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: Book Buyer give Manny some goods, but I want you

830
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: to hit him on Twitter. I know she's not a

831
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 3: Twitter as much, but all the ful instagram on Twitter, Instagram,

832
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: all right, hit her up and just like you know,

833
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 3: send her DM and just be like, girl, you got this.

834
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 3: I can't wait. Yeah, I'm just super happy honestly because

835
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 3: it is like for me, it wasn't so much Barnes

836
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 3: and Nobles, but I was like, if I could see

837
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: my book in Target, because I like, I go to

838
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 3: Target all the time, and I still have to hit

839
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 3: me when I see it at Target, I'm like, I'm

840
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 3: in the place where I spend all my money and

841
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: I have to tell you, you know.

842
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 2: Like I told you my proposal coach has your book

843
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: in her background. And then also when she was showing

844
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: me there's like different steps in the process, and when

845
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: I was designing my book proposal, there's always a comparison,

846
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 2: a comparison, a comparison like a competitor analysis where you

847
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: look at the top five books. And I think the

848
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 2: three samples she showed me, they were they were like similar,

849
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: they were there were financial books and Good with Money

850
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: was right there at the top, like this is the bar,

851
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: this is proof because it's proof that financial books by

852
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: women of color can do great, you know. So I

853
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: love seeing that. For sure, it wasn't on my list

854
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: because it ain't about money. But yeah, but it is

855
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: like it is the bar. Now you are at the bar.

856
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 2: Oh bitch, you're at the bar.

857
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: I was just listening to that girl I don't know

858
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: with plastic on couch. But I'm just so like, that's

859
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I've always loved it, but just recently, I'm

860
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 3: just like I was.

861
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 2: Besides this season, That's why I don't know, what are

862
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: you trying to say, romantical?

863
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. But yeah, so it's just I'm just excited.

864
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 3: So it's like this new I just love what we

865
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: get to do, you know, that we get to do, like,

866
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: you know, pouring to the people that we care about,

867
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: our audience in so many different ways, you know, from

868
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 3: the podcast or individual businesses, the books. You know. It's

869
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: just I don't know that professionally it gets better than

870
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: this because everyone can't say that they can see the

871
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: direct correlation of what they do and the people that

872
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 3: they're serving, you know, and so we get to say

873
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 3: that that's this is why I became why I was

874
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: a school teacher because selfishly, I was like, I want

875

876
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: fact that I'm like, oh my gosh, Rio can read

877
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,120
