Speaker 2: That I brought it. Did I bring it back?

Speaker 2: We're back back back back, back back back.

00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,320

00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: mean fifteen. Whoa, whoa.

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: So you're dropping the gun there. Wow, that's crazy. So

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: how long how many months has it been? I feel

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: like we've been doing this for like forever and then

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: not forever at the same time.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: For four it's been four months.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: Wow, we're so young.

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: We're going to go into the new year stronger than ever.

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: I believe that.

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: Thank you guys so much for sticking with us. And

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: before we get the show started, I wanted to do

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: a special since everyone has resolutions, I feel like Brown

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: Ambition Podcast, this is a great time for you to

Speaker 3: show even better in twenty sixteen, right, twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen,

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: because we've sort of been flying by the seat of

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: our little brown pants. Yeah yeah, and just sort of

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: like feeling things out and trying to get a structure,

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: and we want to know what you guys like and

00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: you like, what you don't like. Do you want more interviews?

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: Do you want more certain kinds of tips? I don't know, tip,

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 3: what do you think?

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: I mean?

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think we're rocking socking, but I mean,

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: if you have things that you'd like us to do,

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, like, for example, I forget the THEBA listener

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: that said, you know, I'd love for you to share

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: like your favorite books when feasible, and so I think

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: that's a great, you know tip.

39
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: So we're always open to doing better.

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: But the theme for today's show may get to it anyway.

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: For the tip section especially, it's going to be all

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: about getting your money right in twenty sixteen, which ties

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: in perfectly with Tiffany's new venture, well not new old

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: new venture, yeah, which he'll tell us all about later. Yup. So,

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: without further ado, let's talk about what's buzzing buzzworthy.

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Well, I kind of want to crack it open with

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: so Japan apparently denied women they were championing, or they

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: were fighting for a law to be able to maintain

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: their surname, basically their last name, just like here in America.

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, if I get married a superman, I'd be

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Tiffany Smith. In Japan, they're saying no, that couples must

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: keep must have the same last name. I mean, to

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: be fair, they don't say that the women has to

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: take the man's name. The man can take the woman's name.

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: But we all know how that goes down. So what

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: do you think about that? About changing your name? Because

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I know, you know, Mandy's newly engaged.

58
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: What do you think? What are you gonna do? You decided?

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: You know what surprised me is, Yeah, well, I know

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: it would be weird saying my last name with my

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 3: fiance's last name together, So I'm not down with the hyphenated. Okay,

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: there's nothing that goes with Woodruff really, It's kind of

63
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: like it's like one of those weird colors. It matches nothing.

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: But you know what, I'm a writer and I've been

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: writing with under Mandy Woodruff for how many years now,

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: almost a decade, So I feel like I'm definitely gonna

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: keep my name professionally I honestly haven't figured out what

68
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to do. I don't even know if it's

69
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: important to my fiance what I do, but I have

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: I've talked to my girlfriends who have gotten married, and

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: some of them said that their husbands cared more about

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: them changing their name on Facebook than they did like

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: doing it on their license and so you know what

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: I mean, like the real stuff that they were just

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: they cared about their friends knowing and like seeing that

76
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: they hyphenated or changed their last name.

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, I never thought about that, because you're right,

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: because since both of us do things that require you

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: know that so publicly, and we're known for those things,

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: I likely will keep my last name or at the

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: very least hyphenated, just because by then I've built a

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: whole brand around my name, you know.

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that I feel like especially women

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: in America, I think that we're so we just think

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: differently about the importance of having you know your spouse's

86
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: last name. I mean, maybe, if you're doing it, it's

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: like for romantic reasons or I mean, honestly, it's your choice,

88
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: but I don't see the need necessarily at least, and

89
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: I think it can even hurt you professionally in some cases,

90
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: especially if you're building a brand.

91
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. I agree for sure.

92
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: Cocacoola wouldn't change its name if it marries PEPSI.

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but look at Beyonce Beyonce card Knowles.

94
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 3: But she's Beyonce. And Plus I was like, I'll do

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: this for you Jay, just say, you know what I mean,

96
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: Like she was probably doing it for him. She didn't

97
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: need his last name.

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: To like, look at Kim Kardashian, people don't really call

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: her like, it's not like Kim really West, you know.

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: I mean, and that's the hyphenated thing too. It's not

101
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: like she's changing. I think what really matters is what

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: you know, the kids are probably going to have the

103
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 3: husband's last.

104
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: Night, Oh for sure, Yeah, for sure.

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: I think that's what you're right, That's what really matters,

106
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: Like for most men, I would assume.

107
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: Plus, it's a pain in the butt to like change

108
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: your last name. Yeah, my mom's been divorced like more

109
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: than once. I'm not going to call her out, but

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: it's just like, damn it again. Sometimes I still call

111
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: her by my dad's last name, which has been like

112
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: how many years eighteen years. I'm like missus Woodruff. Good boy.

113
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: You know I changed my name when I was nine.

114
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: My name is not originally Tiffany. I picked Tiffany.

115
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you that?

116
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: You have.

118
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: We talked about that. Well, no, we should. Yeah, I

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: talk about it a little bit because that's common among

120
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: a lot of immigrant families, right, you come to the

121
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: US and you change. Yeah.

122
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: So I was born here in America, but my father

123
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: and mother thought that they were going to raise us

124
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: in Nigeria. So I had a Nigerian name on my

125
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: birth certificate. It was Adochi. So my name was Adochi Alice.

126
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: And then after staying here for a number of years

127
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: and Nigeria just was not doing well, so my father

128
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, actually, we'll just stay here.

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: And so we were moving to a town with hardly

130
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: any brown people. So we were living in like kind

131
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: of like a multicultural town in New Jersey. And then

132
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: we were moving to a town that was largely like Jewish,

133
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know what, in the effort

134
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: to fit it in, fit in, how about you go

135
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: ahead and pick yourself an American name. And at the

136
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: time I didn't realize the significance. All I thought at like,

137
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I think was I nine year? Like nine, was like, whooo,

138
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: I get to pick my name.

139
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: And so first I kids dream, I feel like I

140
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: know it is.

141
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: So I was like, ooh, I totally want to be Jenny,

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: can you imagine?

143
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: And he was like yeah no.

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: And then I was like what about Renee and he

145
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: was like yeah. And then I've always liked the name Tiffany.

146
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Actually it was between Tiffany and Symphony. Why Symphony?

147
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: Why? Thank god?

148
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: Symphony?

149
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: Yes, just because I'm nine. I mean I'm nine.

150
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: Sounds like a princess's name.

151
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see.

152
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: And so Tiffany was a go. And literally it took

153
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: me two years to get acclimated to the new name.

154
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: People would call me and I'd look at them like

155
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: who are you talking to?

156
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: Oh? Right, that's me.

157
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: People would call the house and my mom and my

158
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: dad and my sisters would be like, there's no Tiffany here.

159
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: Oh that's right because we all changed our name. So

160
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: it was a very confusing time.

161
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, you like, forget your sister's name, new names

162
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: for sure.

163
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: So when someone called me adochi, Like if I'm like

164
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: out in public and someone says Hey, Adochi.

165
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: I know, like, whoa, you really know me?

166
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: You've known me before I was nine, So it's strange

167
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: when someone calls me that, because even my dad called

168
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: me Tiffany now, which is weird, Like this has been

169
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: the last few years, you know, because I just grew

170
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: up being called Adochi by my family and friends. So yep,

171
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: that's my name change story.

172
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: I didn't know I had a lot of African friends.

173
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: I knew I had a lot of black friends, but

174
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: not like of Africa, you know, moved here from Africa

175
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: until I got to college and like like, oh hi Simeon,

176
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I don't go by Simon anymore. My

177
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: name is Obina or something like that. I'm like, oh, okay,

178
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: they all dropped their American names when they got to college.

179
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: I tried that.

180
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I tried A girl was too hard.

181
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Everybody was messing up Adochi like crazy succi ado I

182
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, actually, just call me Tiffany again.

183
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: I tried to go back to Africa as well. I

184
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: remember that time.

185
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: Well, your name is so important, and I feel like, yeah,

186
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: whether you keep your lot, your husband's or your wife's surname,

187
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: or whatever. It has to work for you. But it's

188
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: unfortunate that people in Japan don't even have the choice,

189
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, it is. Well, I saw something else

190
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: that was pretty interesting, I think from overseas well and

191
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: also America. Remember how there's been all this like controversy

192
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: over how black women in the military.

193
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: Wear their hair, Yes, I remember, so recently.

194
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: The Marines have made it possible. I don't know what

195
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: legal is the right term, but now female Marines can

196
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: wear their hair and locks and twists, which is huge.

197
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: You know, this is a this is a huge one

198
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: I think for women in the military and just for inclusiveness.

199
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: You know.

200
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so dope because you know, I have locks

201
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: that I've had locks for like it's been seven years,

202
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit longer, and so I love that

203
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: and just just so beautiful.

204
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: What's beautiful, too, is just the photos. I'm looking at

205
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: this article on huff Post and it's nothing but like

206
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: photos of badass black woman with locks and dreads and

207
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: like twists and braids after another doing like amazing. You

208
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: never see these kind of images of like black women

209
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: in combat. This is awesome.

210
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: Ooh, I have to go look.

211
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: But Verines you know, in alignment with that. Have you

212
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: heard about the She's missed Jamaica or missus Jamaica. I

213
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: never know how it starts when it comes to the

214
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: beauty contest. So she's in line to be Miss World.

215
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: I guess that's the or Miss Universe? Is it Miss World?

216
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: No Miss World? So she's going to be in.

217
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: That competition, and she has locks, and she's like the

218
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 1: first contestant to ever have locks in the Miss World competition,

219
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: and she is dropped dead gorgeous.

220
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: I feel like we could call twenty fifteen the Year

221
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: of the Locks at this point, because we had has Zendaiya, Yeah, gorgeousness.

222
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 3: What was that the Golden Globes with the Grammys or

223
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: something like that, where she came out with the locks

224
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: and all that all that press for the e entertainment

225
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: like host too called her out for the dreads or whatever,

226
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: like all that bad press for that entertainment. Host it

227
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: wonders for Zendia, I feel like it did. And then

228
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: we had Ava Duverne's Barbie Dolls.

229
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, beautiful hair.

230
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: Now the military is rising up.

231
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Exactly, and now we have this Missworld contestant rocking her locks.

232
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: You're right, it is the Year of the locks.

233
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: It is. Maybe I should re examine the lord ones.

234
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: I need help because I'm in a bad situation right

235
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: now with my transition.

236
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that transition is serious.

237
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I'm half that stage because my locks

238
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: just make my life so much easier.

239
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: I don't have to do nearly as much work as

240
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: when I had my hair out.

241
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: I'm giving myself one more year, and if it doesn't

242
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: work out by then, I'm just like, I don't know

243
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do.

244
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: You can always buzz it.

245
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: No, that would look crazy. Well no, because I know

246
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: some girls who like they look amazing with like the

247
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: buzz cut.

248
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

249
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: You know, hair is really important. When we've talked about

250
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: this before, hair and also just like how you present

251
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: yourself in the workplace. And I feel like calling this

252
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: year the locks. All the more people see images of

253
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: women with locks, braids, whatever twists, natural hair, the more

254
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: accepted'll be and they won't ever be a question of

255
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: like you know that young girl who was kicked out

256
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: of school and Mosada, Yeah, that won't happen because people

257
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: will be used to seeing it. Ah.

258
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: The joints of being a brown girl with natural hair.

259
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 3: And lastly, well, just to go to the last sort

260
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: of topic, it doesn't really have like, you know, a

261
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: money slamt, but I feel like every brown woman can

262
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: relate to this. So apparently Mark Jacobs has a line

263
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 3: of makeup, like as every major brand does, and they

264
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: sent this prominent beauty blogger like a kit of all

265
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: their new foundations and it was kind of it's comical

266
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: but then also sad. But it's like twenty two different

267
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: shades of foundation, and two or three of them are

268
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: for anyone, you know, a shade a shade or too

269
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: darker than like lily white. Yeah, and definitely not for

270
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: anyone who's dark skinned. And people were sort of you know,

271
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: people were rightfully so I think calling them out, but

272
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: I know I shouldn't be surprised because this is obviously

273
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: a well known issue that there's just not enough variety

274
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: of color. But I feel like even now, like come on.

275
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the thing is, you know what's so crazy

276
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: as a designer, like if you had any sense, you

277
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: know that women of color really buy so much, like

278
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: they spend so much money.

279
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: In the beauty in the streets.

280
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean like, so even if you're just like,

281
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a financial thing.

282
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: I mean, hello, Like.

283
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: It's just so crazy to me because you're right Like

284
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: I used to when I first started wearing makeup, like

285
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: in high school, like going to like you know, writing

286
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: or wherever.

287
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: It was just like so.

288
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Cause I'm brown, I'm not like, oh, you know a

289
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: little bit coco. No, No, I'm just straight brown. So

290
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: it's difficult to find things that were my shade. Even

291
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: now it's difficult.

292
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: No, I'm looking on Sephora right now, the darkest shade.

293
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: The two of the last three dark shades are the

294
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: only ones that are sold out, the only ones that

295
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: tells you that people are hungry for this, Like why

296
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: you this is a bad this is bad marketing upon

297
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: or not marketing, but like business strategy upon upon their

298
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: uh their they're what am I? What word am I

299
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: looking for?

300
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like whoever made these chorices? A plague

301
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: upon their house?

302
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 3: Drinking some mold wine? Right now, I think it's getting

303
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: to me.

304
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just gonna say, a plague upon your house,

305
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: mark your foundation, kids, Yes, a plague upon your founday.

306
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: You have Russia's and xits for us.

307
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: So hopefully, like you know, I'm sure, just he better.

308
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: Just hope black Twitter doesn't get a hold, because you know,

309
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: Mark doesn't want to get dragged. So that's it for Buzzworthy.

310
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Right now, It's time for breaking time. It's breaking time.

311
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,720

313
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: it's breaking time, Say what. It's break break break, breaking time.

314
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: Somebody is gonna get on me like Tiffany, stop it.

315
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: I don't care.

316
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: It's a little sh had a long day I did.

317
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: How long day? You guys?

318
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: I am loopy and it's the only thing keeping me up,

319
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: So bear with me. You'll be fine.

320
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: No sanity, hate mail.

321
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's the holiday season. Obviously. I cannot believe Christmas

322
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 3: is only five days away. I know, but I can

323
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: believe how much in pain I am from my credit

324
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: card bill. Break. Yeah, I'm taking a brown break from

325
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: my credit card. This happens every year, though I need

326
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: to take a little break, even though I save up

327
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: for Christmas every year, just the actual act of racking

328
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: up all those charges, you know, because I spend more.

329
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: I spend more money in the month of December than

330
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: I do at any other time during the year for

331
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: the holidays. So for January, I'm going to go on

332
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: a little like you know, you'll do detoxing or like

333
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: a body cleanse. I'm going to go on. I'm going

334
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: to go on a money cleanse.

335
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: I like that.

336
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna leave the plastic at home. I'm going

337
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: to get back to cooking in the kitchen. I've been

338
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: so busy. I've been ordering seamless, you know, using my

339
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: meal service and stuff. So I'm just going to get

340
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: back to back to basics and hopefully recover slowly.

341
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: Take the IVY out of your the credit card IVY

342
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: out of your arm.

343
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: I will be taking my rewards points though those are

344
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: coming handy, Oh.

345
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't honestly if

346
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: you aren't using your credit card and not getting rewards honestly, honestly,

347
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm like looking at the screen, like, honestly, stop, like,

348
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: don't have a card and not have rewards, whether it's

349
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: cash back, whether it's flight miles, gas. If you're gonna

350
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: use your card, you might as well make money on money.

351
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: That's like shopping online and not using like like a

352
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, not using groupon or not at least checking

353
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: like a retail me not or not shopping through portals

354
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: like you promise to say, hey can I get cash back?

355
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't make sense honestly now not to shop

356
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: with kind of like this added edge when those edges

357
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: are free.

358
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: You know, you know a lot of credit card companies.

359
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: When I first got my very first credit card in college,

360
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: there was no crazy reward programs like there are today.

361
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: But I went back and I was like, do you

362
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: have can you upgrade me to the next level or whatever?

363
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, yeah, ease. They tried to yes,

364
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: you know, a cash rewards card just because I asked,

365
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: And there was no credit check, no, none of that

366
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So it's easy, but just be careful

367
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: with those, Like I would say, this is the time

368
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: of year where there's a lot of bonus offers. You know,

369
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: sign up now, I'm go'll give you fifty thousand miles.

370
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: I don't have to do is spend two thousand dollars

371
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: in the next month.

372
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: No, I don't do those.

373
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: I just say, like, like you said, Mandy, same thing.

374
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Like I had a car since I was eighteen. I

375
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: didn't know like that I could have been getting like,

376
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: cause you're right, they had none of these rewards. And

377
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: then maybe like two or three years ago, like I

378
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: was talking to them on the phone about some charge

379
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: and then she casually mentioned, like, you know, we can

380
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: make this a travel card. And I was like what,

381
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I tried to get all this stuff retroactive.

382
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: And she was like yeah. Now.

383
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I'm like, what I had I spent enough money

384
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: in ten years to get like, you know, so many

385
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: different flights.

386
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: But yes, if you have an old card, go see that.

387
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: If they are rewards attached to it, they're not taking

388
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: advantage of because you might have some money sitting there,

389
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: or you might could just transfer it over and make

390
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: it a travel card, a travel or a rewards card.

391
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's good. To take a brown break. I'm

392
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: like the opposite of you. So I'm taking a brown

393
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: break just from Christmas shopping, which is strange because I

394
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: have yet to do it.

395
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: Oh, we're just trying to avoid the problem.

396
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: Yes, honestly.

397
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: So I took off Tuesday, which is what two days

398
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: before Christmas, the day before Christmas E And I'm like,

399
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Tuesday morning and I'm dreading it. I

400
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: hate Christmas shopping, So I'm not gonna lie about three

401
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: of you listening, my friends. You're gonna getting stuff that's

402
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: came from my closet that I've gotten over the year

403
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: in swag. I'm like, oh, this is nice Christmas gift

404
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: for you. You won't know who it is, though, so no judgment.

405
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: But other people, honestly, I'm like, oh my god, I

406
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: hate grey Christmas shopping. So I'm just gonna go Tuesday

407
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: and just trying to knock it out. But I spent

408
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: no money on Christmas. I should have ordered online, but I.

409
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 3: Just hey, Amazon dot com still has two days if

410
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: you have Prime.

411
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do have Prime, and I'm like I ordered honestly.

412
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: So one thing I did get, like Superman and Supergirl, Well,

413
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: Supergirl wanted a fitbit, which obviously she does not need

414
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: because I'm like, what do you need a fitbit for

415
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: You're not, So instead I got her, like, you know,

416
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: like one of these little like fake fitbits because she

417
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: does no name brands for like thirty bucks versus a

418
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: fitbit for eighty.

419
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: So I did get her that. So she's gonna be so.

420
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: Excited like it's a fitbit. I'm gonna say sure, and

421
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: then her mom, Supergirl's mom.

422
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: She's awesome. I call her Supermom. She's super dope.

423
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: So she wanted a fitbit, so together, Superman and I

424
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: got her an actual fitbit for Christmas. So that was

425
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: like one of the few things. I ordered it yesterday

426
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: and they came today. I was like, go ahead, Amazon.

427
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: Prime, Oh you got that for Superman.

428
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: I got that for a super super Mom.

429
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 3: That's Supermom, okay, because she's.

430
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: So nice and she's so dope. She's just such a

431
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: great mom and like just we get along so great.

432
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: So we're kind of like a blend. Not kind of,

433
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: but we're like a blended family. So Superman has a

434
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: daughter who's nine with super Mom, who were the same age.

435
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: She's thirty six, just like me and super super cool. Honestly,

436
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: we're like to our birthdays. Yeah, we're like two days

437
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: apart our birthdays. And she's just honestly sometimes like he'll

438
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: lead to do something and come back and be like

439
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: you guys are still here talking Like we have such

440
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: similar personalities. I'm like, ah, I see your type. She's silly,

441
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: she's fun. Like, if there's any ever issue with Supergirl,

442
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: we all sit down and talk about it as a family,

443
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: like what's going on? So, yeah, it's just been a

444
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: great experience with her. So I wanted to make sure

445
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: we got her something nice from for Christmas. So she's

446
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: getting her fitbit.

447
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 3: I hope she doesn't listen.

448
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: I know, right, I'm like great, I mean, sid, you're

449
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: not getting that.

450
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: I got my family fitbits throughout the entire past year.

451
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 3: It's it's become really fun.

452
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: Really oh yeah, maybe I'll get one.

453
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: You become addicted to it, then you get really competitive.

454
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: Then it takes over of your life. Like there are

455
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 3: days when I'm like, why should I go to the

Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know what, You're gonna have to

461
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,240

Speaker 1: You're running in place exactly.

477
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: I came home one night and I like, I was like, nine,

00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 3: So I thought it would be great since Tiffany has

496
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 3: this amazing annual challenge starts every January, perfect time, like,

497
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: if you are dedicated to getting your money right in

498
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, Tiffany has the challenge for you.

499
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it is called the Live Richer Challenge Richer like

500
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: money and you can sign up at Live Richer Challenge

501
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: that net Any Tea And so the way the challenge

502
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: works is, honestly, it's kind of my way to give

503
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: back to my girls, because so many women would hit

504
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: me up around the country and they'd be like, oh

505
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, Tiffany, I need help with budgeting, I need

506
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: help with savings, I need help with my credit. And

507
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't physically, obviously be everywhere, and I couldn't answer

508
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: every single question. And so teacher I'd heard, I was

509
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: a school teacher for over ten years, and I thought, well,

510
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: what if I create some sort of like program, some

511
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: sort of like classroom but virtually online. And so twenty

512
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: fifteen was the first big launch and my goal was

513
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: ten thousand women and we hit twenty thousand women and

514
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: collectively we saved over four million dollars and paid off

515
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: over half a million dollars worth of debt. And I

516
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: was super excited, and I was like, woo hoo, and

517
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: this feels really good when like other women, brown women,

518
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: not brown women, all kinds of women will come up

519
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: to me and say thank you so much.

520
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 2: I took my daughter on vacation for the first time.

521
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Or one woman told me I've never paid a bill

522
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: on time ever in my adult history.

523
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: I'm on time now.

524
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: And so just to see that shift in women in particular,

525
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: and so I said, you know what, I'm going to

526
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: do it again.

527
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: January coming up.

528
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: And so we have the new Live Richer Challenge that

529
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: starts in January, the first Monday in January, January fourth.

530
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: But sign up now because you get all these free

531
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: goodies if you sign up early and again it's free.

532
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: And this one is really focusing on saving and abundance.

533
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: And so I chose savings because every challenge, I was

534
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: asking all these questions, like, you know, well, what are

535
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: your challenges, what's going on? Like what are you having

536
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: difficulty with? And the number one thing that women would say,

537
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: hands down was I can't save. So I was like, well,

538
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: let me teach you how to do it. So the

539
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: way the challenge works is you sign up at Live

540
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Richer Challenge dot net. Then once the challenge starts, every

541
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: day for twenty two days, you get one small easy

542
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: task delivered to your inbox that says, hey, do this small, easy,

543
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: actionable thing. And then you're not alone because I created

544
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: this private Facebook group that you could report back to

545
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: if you're part of the challenge, and there are literally

546
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: thousands of women there who are there to support you,

547
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: encourage you, hold your accountable, and answer any possible financial

548
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: question you have, and the supporting, loving environment because I

549
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: do not allow negativity, negative post comments that people are

550
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: deleted immediately, and so you can ask. I mean, we've

551
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: had women say stuff like I'm in a homo shelter,

552
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: what should I do? I can't pay my mortgage? What

553
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: should I do? There's no shame in that group. And

554
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: so you could come there and report back and ask

555
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: questions during the challenge and throughout the year and just

556
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: receive like support. It's like my favorite, It's like my

557
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have things that are like your heart's work.

558
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't get paid off the challenge.

559
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: It's really just like my heart's work. It's just something

560
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: that I've done that has grown. And we're at nearly

561
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: fifty thousand women for the new challenge. And just to

562
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: know that there are fifty thousand women out there in

563
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: the world, and we're at seventy one countries as of

00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it's just like, you know, just.

Speaker 1: money can be fun. Finance can be fun. It doesn't

581
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: have to be this dry boring thing. It could be fun,

582
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: it could be exciting.

583
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: Well obviously if you're involved, it's not gonna be a dry,

584
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: boring anything, nothing but fun, you guys. And I'm not

585
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: even I don't really I'm not active in the dream

586
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: Catchers group, but I love reading all the posts and

587
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: like and I feel like people get like that's even

588
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: like ninety percent of the benefit. It's just having this

589
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: community of women and uh, just to go to afterward

590
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 3: and just to affirm what you're doing and to support you.

591
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: It's it's a beautiful thing. Especially on the internet can

592
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: be quite like a dark and a dark and not

593
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: very supportive place. Sometimes it's such as it feels like

594
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: a really safe place for people to better their finances.

595
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: I love I'm excited for it. I wish i'd had

596
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: this five years ago when I was a hot mess.

597
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I wish I had.

598
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: Because you know what, I find that women work best

599
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: in community. I mean, like, we go to the bathroom together, Okay, we.

600
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 3: Thrive within community, and there's nothing wrong with that exactly.

601
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: You know, that's why we need more women Tiffany the

602
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: Budget Nesta in positions of an educational position when it

603
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 3: comes to money, because I feel like we understand how

604
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: women work and so often, like I get every every

605
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: week without a pause, there is a new email saying

606
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 3: women are not confident about investing. You know, financial firms

607
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: desperate to reach new women. I'm like, you're not reaching

608
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 3: them because ninety five ninety nine percent of your staff

609
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 3: is like white men. Yeah, especially and it's not like

610
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: it's nothing against them, Like they just don't speak the language.

611
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't.

612
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 3: They're not going to. You can't teach it. You know

613
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 3: what you can teach, you know, you can hire more women,

614
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 3: which would be helpful, get more people like the budget deista,

615
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 3: you know, in front of your clients, Like that's what

616
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: people are craving, what we need because it's.

617
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: Just a different language said, because there's certain things that

618
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: we say differently, like you know, I mean, like just

619
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: even like how we open with hey, hey, hey, just fun.

620
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: Like I think that men in general are just different

621
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: in the way that they like to receive information.

622
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, women are more open to being vulnerable to

623
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: say like I don't know, or I'm afraid or so

624
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: creating an environment where they can say that it's critical.

625
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's really kind of the difference. Because men

626
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: always ask me, can I join the challenge? I feel

627
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: like it should be for men too, and I'm like,

628
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: you could totally join. It's just that in the challenge,

629
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to definitely address you like you're a woman,

630
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: but like the principles of like and the tips that

631
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: you're going to be doing, and the tasks they're all

632
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: going to be something that men women. Doesn't matter, you

633
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: could do them. But it's just that the languaging is

634
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: really going to be geared toward women. But as long

635
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: as you don't mind that, I don't turn any men away.

636
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: Of the like fifty thousand, I think we have maybe

637
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: like seven hundred men who've signed up. So yeah, everybody's welcome.

638
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. So if you have a partner living with someone, yeah,

639
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: get them involved too. It can be a nice little

640
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:03,040

645
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: we want to end twenty sixteen twenty fifteen. Good lord,

646
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 3: I know it's like star I saw Star Wars today

647
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: and I feel like I'm like looking into the future

648
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 3: now or past press. I don't know, there's like lightsabers. Anyway,

649
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: my brain is fried. So my win for the week

650
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: I have to I'm such a Harry Potter nerd. I

651
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: don't know if I've ever confessed this before you have,

652
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: but it I love. I've just always been like a bibliophile.

653
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: But also Harry Potter means a lot to me because

654
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: my little brother and I like never got along when

655
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: we were growing up until we like connected over the

656
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: Harry Potter world. So it pretty much saved my sibling relationship.

657
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: But it means a lot to so many people, and

658
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: one of the central characters in the book Hermione Granger,

659
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 3: who for so many reasons has become like a feminist icon.

660
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 3: She's a badass, she gets in the action, she's smart,

661
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: super smart. It's not all about who she's gonna, you know,

662
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: end up with in the end, although it kinda is.

663
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: But one of the things about the book is that

664
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: if you read the book blind, if you've never seen

665
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: the movies, and you heard the way hermione was described,

666
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: you know, big bushy hair, very curly, unruly. She could

667
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: have been any race, especially African American or like, you know,

668
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: a sort of a mix, like you know, a mix

669
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: of different races. But in the movie they cast her

670
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: as the beautiful Emma Watson, you know, and I love

671
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: Emma Watson. But there's always been this sort of like

672
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: in the Harry Potter fan fiction world, some people have

673
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: made her African American. And I'm so excited because they're

674
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: coming out with a Harry Potter play the Theater in

675
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: London next year, twenty sixteen in the summer, and they've

676
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: cast a South wait South African. Oh my god, my god,

677
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: let me check swat no swa. They cast a black

678
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: actress as hermione. I'm gonna check out where she's from originally.

679
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: But she is a Allaurience Olivier winning actor. I'm pretty

680
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: sure that's the Oscar of theater. Oh yeah, she is

681
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: South African and she moved to England when she was

682
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: a child as hermione, which is like so huge.

683
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: I think so you guys don't even realize.

684
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: Like when when Mandy and I first talked about this,

685
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: she was like literally like nearly pissing her pants. She

686
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: was like hitting the wall. So she is totally calmed down.

687
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: She's turned down for what for a little bit, but

688
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: she is like super geeked. I mean, like, I love

689
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: me some Harry Potter. I have all the books, I've

690
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: read them, but no, man's at another level.

691
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: It's just so incredible because you I feel like some

692
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 3: people get so stuck in what they've seen already and

693
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: like for I mean, how many iterations, I don't know,

694
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: what movie can I think of has been like remade

695
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: a million times with the same color cast. You know,

696
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: the Star Wars came out, you know, I so honestly

697
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: this weekend, my fiance forced me to watch the first no, yeah,

698
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: the first three Star Wars movies to prepare me for

699
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: the new one that can came out. And I'm sitting

700
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: here like, man, I'm like, where is the brown people

701
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: at There's no brown people in the past, like technically,

702
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: or we were browner in the past than we are now,

703
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: right right, and so you know, and you start to

704
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: miss that sort of thing. And in the new Star Wars,

705
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: though finally they cast prominently a black actor Nigerian man,

706
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: as you know when the central character is not giving

707
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: too much away. So y'all don't like flame me online

708
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: and Nigeria woo whoo exactly. So I just I just

709
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: think it's exciting whenever a fresh pair of eyes from

710
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: a different generation takes a look at an old story

711
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: and just reinvents it and gives it new life. And

712
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm so this is so dope, and like,

713
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: not only is she being cast as hermione, but I

714
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: already have tickets to Harry Potter or the play in

715
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: London for next October, because that's as soon as I

00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,920

717

Speaker 3: I tickets, so I was already planning to go. And

718
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 3: now I am like one hundred percent more hype than

719
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: I ever was before.

720
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,640

Speaker 2: it's the end of the year.

734
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: We look back and I think to myself, all the

735
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: amazing things that have happened just being on this podcast,

736
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Like this podcast is actually rocking out. Sometimes I forget

737
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: did we walk out? Until someone like randomly on the

738
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: streets like yo, loving the podcast. I'm like, what, so

739
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: that's probably my win.

740
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: I haven't gotten caught on the street yet.

741
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: Man, Well, because people will stop me as like the Budgetnista.

742
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: You're already and you're already like a new is the

Speaker 3: celebrity and.

744
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: No, I'm not quite that.

745
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: But I mean when people saw me as the Budgeonissa,

746
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: sometimes the first thing out of their mouth is really

747
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: the podcast, And so that's probably my win. Like just

748
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: thanking Mandy for like asking me to come on board.

749

00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: the ones that I really didn't know if it was

757
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: ever going to happen. And it couldn't have happened without you.

758
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 3: I mean it could have, but it wouldn't have been

759
