I've been using this app called Wag. 60 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: W a g if you guys have a dog and 61 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: you're wondering or you don't have a dog, like I 62 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: didn't have a dog, and you're wondering, how can I 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: possibly you know, have a dog when I work all 64 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: day long and you know, how can I afford a 65 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: dog walker or whatnot? We decided to start using this 66 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: app called Wag, which is basically like dog walking Uber. 67 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: So you create a schedule. You know, do you want 68 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: to be do you want to walk tomorrow? Do you 69 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: want to walk every Monday through Friday, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 70 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: And then what time do you want it? And then 71 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 3: Wag has this like concierge service where they go and 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 3: find a vetted, interviewed, you know, dog walker in your 73 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: area to take your schedule and awesome. Yeah, I was 74 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: a little nervous because it's not like Uber, because it's 75 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: a little bit like Uber. I mean, you are trusting 76 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: a stranger with your life in a car, but to 77 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: have someone you know come into your house and then 78 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: trust them with your dog. I definitely checked into how 79 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: they vet their dog walkers and most of the all 80 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: the dog walkers have actual experience either dog walking or 81 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: as an animal shelter volunteer or something like that. Okay, 82 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: and I believe WAG will give you And this is 83 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: not this is not a promotion, like I don't make 84 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: any money off this. I'm just saying WAG will give 85 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: you like a wag wock box where you can lead 86 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: the key to your house. But we have like an 87 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: electronic door code thingy where we created a special code 88 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: for dog walkers, So okay, when he arrives, we know 89 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: that he's arrived because he's used a special code and 90 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: that's how he gets in. And but it's been really good. 91 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: I mean I met him in person the first time 92 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: he walked her, and then he's he's ended up being 93 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: super nice and he's walking her every day. And the 94 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: funny thing is like, yeah, when you're when your wag 95 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: walk stop starts, you get like Apple alerts. And so 96 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: the first day it was like, Molly pooped. Want to 97 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: see where Molly Molly pede? Open up the wag gap 98 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: to see and you can like cute. Yeah, so it's 99 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: great and then I and then I feel I don't 100 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: feel so bad leaving her at home because I know 101 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: she's going to get like a thirty minute walk in 102 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: the middle of the day and we don't have to 103 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 3: rush home, you know, worried about her having an accident. 104 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: So that's what that's what that's what dogs do. I 105 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: forgot that, Like, that's what's so hard sometimes about having 106 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: a dog is that you can't lead them home for 107 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: too long because they we are going to have accident. 108 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure, we had. We only had one accident, 109 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 3: so far. It's because we were just gone too long. 110 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: And oh I didn't mention the price. So the price 111 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: of walking Molly in my neighborhood was seventeen dollars per walk. 112 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: Okay, that's pretty good. 113 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 3: Not terrible, especially when you you know, consider how much 114 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: they're getting vetted and that. It just gives me peace 115 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: of mind. So I'm on a happy camper. Hey, wag, 116 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: you want to sponsor the show? 117 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: Hey, you might hear a little bit of noise in 118 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: the background. I mean, I'm in your old stopping ground, 119 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: Jersey City. 120 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 3: What's you even in my old city? 121 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: Well, so for those of you who followed me as 122 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: a bunchanista, you know, like my and I know Mandy, 123 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 2: E've been like seeing all my ads, but my online school, 124 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: the Liberature Academy. Actually, today is the day if you're 125 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: listening live or listening like you know when we discoes live. 126 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: The first time that the Academy is opening back up 127 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: for registration. We've been closed for a couple of weeks 128 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 2: because I just wanted to make it better, you know, 129 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: like I I've been trying to struggle with you know, 130 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: what do people really need? You know, when it comes 131 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: to their personal finances, and I realized that everybody wants 132 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: financial freedom. So I really worked really hard with some 133 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: experts to create something called this financial Freedom Plan, and 134 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: it took a lot of time and a lot of 135 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: effort and a lot of money. So as a result, 136 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: the Academy, I have to increase the price time, I know. 137 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: But here's the thing, I actually don't feel bad about it, 138 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: because one, I am giving people one last chance to 139 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: lock in at its current rate, which is nine thousand, 140 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: nine nine tens a month, so like ten bucks a month, 141 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: which honestly it's nothing, and all my business colleagues and 142 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 2: my business coach and everyone's like, you're crazy, but it 143 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: was almost mostly be for six months. Three months later, 144 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: three years later, we're still at like ten bucks a month, 145 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: and so really the Academy's going to go to twenty 146 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: nine to ninety nine a month. But I also know 147 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: that some people can't afford that, so I said to 148 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: my team, We're going to do one last kind of 149 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: like registration push and the way what I've always hated, like, 150 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, because you heard Netflix is growing up in price. 151 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: Right, oh they are? Again. 152 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: I always feel like this that like if I am 153 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: a loyal customer. Why do new people get better prices 154 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: than me? I mean, I know why, but I just 155 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: feel like that's not fair. So we want to do 156 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: the opposite. So if you are a current Academy member, 157 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: you will always pay nine thousand, nine nine tenents a month. 158 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: And if you sign up now for this last kind 159 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: of like this is our last registration where it's going 160 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: to be nine thousand, nine nine tens a month, you 161 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: will always be that, even after it goes to twenty 162 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: nine ninety nine a month, even after re upgrade to 163 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: the Academy two point zero with the Financial Freedom Plan, 164 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: even ten years from now at the Academy's one hundred 165 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: bucks a month.

And so he 349 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: was like, I guess this particular basketball player. Of course 350 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: I can't remember his name.

I think, 351 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: is it darn it, yeah, I can't find I just 352 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: think that, like, yeah, I just think that, like, I 353 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: don't know that when people are What I just learned 354 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 2: is that when people on the spot like the spotlight 355 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: could just be so cruel. People think they can say 356 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: whatever they want to you, and God forbid you say 357 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,119 Speaker 2: or do anything back.

And I've always had to just shut up 424 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: and never and this is this is as much as 425 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: I've ever said about any of this ever happening, because 426 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 3: I know if I say something, I don't want to 427 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: jeopardize myself with my with my company. And also I 428 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: know the truth, which is that if you ask the 429 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: whole of our the people who work with us, or 430 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: if you ask the person every person I work with 431 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 3: in my career on a you would get a positive experience. Yeah, 432 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 3: there'd be a couple of negatives because that's just life. 433 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: But if on the on average, you have you know, 434 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 3: great experiences in your fair and ethical and you treat 435 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 3: people right, then all this like the negative will just 436 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 3: get faded out. And like you'll see people that we 437 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 3: have worked with us and with me who have come 438 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 3: to our defense when they've seen yeah, criticisms like that. 439 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 3: And so I think the high road, like when they 440 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 3: go low, we go hig I Michelle Obama right, Like 441 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 3: that's the only way you can. That's the best way, 442 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 3: even though it's frustrating and like really hard sometimes to 443 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 3: just zip your lips and just let the haters shout 444 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 3: and yell. 445 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 2: No no, I agree. Honestly, I feel like my job 446 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 2: is always to make a liar out of the hater, 447 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like, you know, like okay, 448 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 2: if one person says something so terrible and I've had 449 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: I remember one time somebody's mad at me. I don't know. 450 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 2: Something was posted in the DreamCatcher group and she posted 451 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: something and it was deleted. But it wasn't me because 452 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: kind of well I've got like fifteen admins, so but 453 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: it wasn't It wasn't finance related. It was about like 454 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: her time land trip, I don't know, something so she 455 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: went on I didn't know, but she herself was like 456 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: a businesswoman, and I think, I don't know what she taught, 457 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: but she you know, she had a pretty decent violence. 458 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: So then she went on her personal Facebook page. And 459 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: this is meanwhile, like the day after I had my 460 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: fiveboard search, so I wasn't even like on Facebook. I 461 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: it wasn't until actually, Tila, you know, one of our great, 462 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: awesome financial friends, was like, h someone that's posting about 463 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: you and it's pretty nasty.

She's like, she didn't say my name, 467 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: but she was like mm, the way she described you, 468 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: it's pretty specific and it's very obvious that she's talking 469 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: about you. And I was like, okay, So I wanted 470 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: to read it, and I was like so disheartened because 471 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 2: this it was a woman who had like a dope 472 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 2: business and she seemed like, you know, like another sister, 473 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: and the fact that she was like dragging me and 474 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 2: literally I'm like, yo, I'm I'm in the hospital. I 475 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: don't even know I don't know what the post was, 476 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 2: but does it warrant you're about Thailand being removed from 477 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: a Facebook group? Does it warrant this public like dragging? 478 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: I just remember thinking like wow. But what I really 479 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: loved was in the comment. I mean, there are some 480 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 2: people in the comments who are like, says she jealousy 481 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 2: because you know, they didn't know me, they didn't know 482 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: who she was talking about. They were just in general says, 483 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 2: people be jealous of you, says you know. And then 484 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: but then people who knew, like, are you talking about Tiffany? Wait, 485 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: Tiffany is so I would say, you know, two thirds 486 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: of the comments were like, girl, are you crazy? Like 487 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 2: that's not Tiffany, Like are you sure? One? You know, 488 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: she's got a team of admins, And maybe if you 489 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 2: would have written her personally, you wouldn't have had all 490 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: of this. So it was just great to see how 491 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 2: many people came to my defense because what she's saying 492 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: just wasn't true. And the fact of the matter is 493 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 2: literally I had no idea. And then I was gonna 494 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: actually reach out to her and say I'm so sorry 495 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: you had a negative experience. But then I thought about it, 496 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: and I thought Tiffany, this is a poisonous, cancerous person. 497 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 2: What because and if someone would do this over a 498 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 2: Facebook post about Thailand being deleted, why would I want 499 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: to make any sort of connection. So honestly, I didn't 500 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: say anything. I didn't comment, I didn't anything. I didn't 501 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 2: She eventually reached out to me an email and messaged me. 502 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: I didn't reply because I was like, yeah, I'm good 503 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: on cancer, you know, And so I've just learned that, 504 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: like you know, sometimes people do things like that and 505 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 2: it's really it's unfortunate, but you know, eventually it dies down, 506 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 2: everybody goes back to their corner, and some other drama 507 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 2: picks up again, and somebody else can focus on something else. 508 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: But I just remember, honestly, more than anything else, feeling 509 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: hurt because I had, like, you know, when I looked 510 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: at her business and like started to I admired her business, 511 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: and I thought like, wow, but like, look, you know, 512 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 2: she's got a lot of time on her hands. Eventually, 513 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: you know, apparently to attack over a Facebook post. I 514 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: just thought to myself, where there's something not right there, 515 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: there's something unhappy there, because I can't imagine myself. I've 516 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: been in plenty of Facebook groups where my posts had 517 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 2: been removed, I guess, and it doesn't you know. My 518 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 2: reaction was never to like drag and attack another person. 519 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: I've never dragged to attack another person on that mean, 520 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: maybe the price, but I mean he deserves it. 521 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 3: But you know even that, I just even that, like 522 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: I mean, the Internet, I just I don't know.

I'm a black young woman who's quickly 547 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 3: approaching thirty, and I want to know what's the best 548 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: way to deal with the hurt and anger from noticeable 549 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 3: special treatment when it comes to career development given to 550 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 3: other non brown colleagues in corporate America best regards. Ooh, 551 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 3: good question. Oh yeah. I mean this is the kind 552 00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 3: of thing that it's so hard to say out loud 553 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 3: to anyone, to anyone who's not also a person of color, 554 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 3: because you know, even if they're not saying it, they're thinking, well, 555 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 3: how do you know that other non around people are 556 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,479 Speaker 3: getting special treatment? Like do they just work harder than you? Huh? Yeah. 557 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 3: This is the reason why I I'm so grateful for 558 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: the slack group that I'm in. I went to this. 559 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 3: I have a group of friends who are also in 560 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 3: the media professionals managing teams, and we started this Slack 561 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 3: group and it's all people of color, and it is 562 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: where I go to vent about exactly this. Things that 563 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 3: you can't control, like I can't you know, in your position, 564 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: walking into your boss's office and claiming that they're being 565 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 3: they're giving special treatment to people of other genders or 566 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 3: other races. It's probably not going to do anything for you, 567 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: maybe the truth, but it may hurt you in your career. Yeah, 568 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: So I use this group as a sounding board. So 569 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 3: my first piece of advice is to create a little 570 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 3: even if it's just three people, you know, four or 571 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 3: five people group, get a group text, get a Slack group, 572 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: get an email chain going, and just vent things out 573 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: and then ask them what they might do and get 574 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: their advice. And especially if they're people in a similar 575 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: field as you, they'll have more specific guidance for someone 576 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 3: in your situation. 577 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I don't even have any I mean, I'll 578 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: share this that I was working with a brand a 579 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 2: little while ago and they didn't want to pay me. 580 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: They said my rates were too high, And thankfully I 581 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: knew someone who was familiar with that brand and like 582 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: work with them, And she asked them straight up, are 583 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 2: Tiffany's rates higher than the white guys you pay with 584 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: less of an audience, And there was a lot of stuttering. 585 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: They're like, no, no, has she outpriced herself from because 586 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: you know that's reasonable. And the answer was no, that 587 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: my rates were not higher than the white guys, and 588 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 2: I generated more buzz, more feed, like my return was larger. 589 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 2: So what are you saying? And sometimes it's just so 590 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: frustrating because you're just like so, I'm like, well, bro, like, honestly, 591 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: take it. Here's the thing. It's analosly. It's one of 592 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 2: the reasons why I structured my business in the way 593 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 2: that I have, where it's more B two C than 594 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 2: B to B. So B two C is a business 595 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: a consumer versus business a business, meaning like I served dreamcatchers, 596 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: I served dream builders. I serve women, largely women of color, 597 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 2: and that's where the majority of my income comes from. 598 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: On purpose, So when a brand tries to get cute 599 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: like brah, you hit me in my inbox. I was 600 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: always good living my best life, helping dreamcatchers live their 601 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 2: best life. You came to me saying, hey, want some 602 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 2: of that black girl magic, but don't want to pay 603 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: for it. Yo, It's so frustrating, and so sometimes you're 604 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: just like because like, honestly, it's one of like you know, 605 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: we have like y'all know that we always talk about Fincon. 606 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: That's like the financial bloggers conference that me and Mandy 607 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: used to go to. And I mean, I mean, I 608 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 2: guess I'll still go eventually, but anyway, but I remember 609 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: just being so frustrated and listening to like our white 610 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: colleagues talk about all of the brand money and sponsorship 611 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: this and that, and they didn't even have happy audiences. 612 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: And I'm just like, yo, not not even have the 613 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: engagement now, you know, it's so frustrating when you know 614 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: what it is, but god bid you should say something 615 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 2: that it's like you're the mad black girl. And honestly, 616 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: I don't. Honestly, I don't know the solution for me. 617 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: The solution has just been for me. It just became 618 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: creating an environment for myself where I can succeed and 619 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: trying not to focus on when you know those things happen. 620 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: And honestly, these days, like I've told so many brands 621 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 2: to kick Rocks. I'm like, Okay, we'll go go get 622 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: such and such. Then who doesn't deliver? But you did, 623 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: but he but he wants full price, and then they 624 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: always come back, Oh it's no, You're either gonna pay 625 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 2: or go because the truth is, I don't need it, 626 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: you know, like I created a life for myself where 627 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: I can tell you the kick Rocks, I don't need it, 628 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: you know, Like it's great working with brands, but it 629 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 2: is not my bread and butter on purpose because you're 630 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: not going to be able to tell me what I'm worth. 631 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: I tell you, and you either pay it or you 632 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 2: don't pay it. And it sucks when you're in corporate 633 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: America because you can't always do that. But like I think, 634 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 2: like Mandy said, have it a support group and asking 635 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: advice to people who are in that situation the circumstance, 636 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: because I feel like I'm too rebellious. I'm like that turn. 637 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, being thirty and working for and feeling 638 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: like you're in a position where so much of your 639 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: career success is dependent on other people. That freaking sucks. 640 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people can relate to that. 641 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 3: I as quickly as I could, I don't think I 642 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: knew it instinctively or the reason I was pushing so 643 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 3: hard to advance my career so I was in a 644 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 3: position of authority quickly or more quickly than I might 645 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 3: have been if I had stayed where I was. But 646 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: I think that is what it comes down to you. 647 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 3: At a certain point, I just wanted to have the 648 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: power to not only to not only steer my own 649 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 3: destiny in my career, but also to help others and 650 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: to be in a position of power so I could 651 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: turn around and help people like you, or at least 652 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: break down some of those barriers, or be an additional 653 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 3: person of color at the table making those decisions. But 654 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: you say, specifically, Artezia, that there's noticeable special treatment when 655 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 3: it comes to career development at your workplace, I would say, 656 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 3: as much as you can get around the barriers. So 657 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: if there's a special development career development fund that you 658 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 3: have access to, but you feel like your other colleagues 659 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 3: in the office are getting recommendation letters from people or 660 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: getting more support finding opportunities, you may have to do 661 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 3: the extra groundwork and just start looking for career development 662 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 3: opportunities for yourself outside of the organization you know I've 663 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 3: done that. I've done a couple of leadership development institutes 664 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 3: that have been super helpful for me, did not come 665 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 3: from my HR team. And you know you could do that. 666 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 3: You could get mentors, ask specifically people in the company 667 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 3: to mentor you, even if they're not offering it. You know, 668 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 3: force them to tell you. Instead of telling yourself a 669 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 3: story about way why they may not be mentoring you, 670 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 3: you know, suck it up and just ask them point blank, 671 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 3: you know, will you mentor me? I see myself going here? 672 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: Will you give me guidance? Don't give them an opportunity, 673 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: you know, to ignore you is is a bit of 674 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: advice there, And if it really is like a toxic environment, 675 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 3: do what you can to get the hell out.
