<v Speaker 1>me tell you look spectacular. Thank you. Okay, well, I

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>have officially joined the fifty club. I have no idea

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>what's going to unphone today, but I do know that

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>gave me a willow. Have been conspiring with my Red

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Table team, and I was just told to just show

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>up so happy. You are gonna turn the Red Table

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>on you long in honor of your fifties. We have

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>some beautiful people and friends coming to have some burning

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>questions for you. That's gonna be fun. I can, let's go.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's roll it, Jada. I'm talking to you from inside

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>my closet, because outside my closet there are twins with

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>plastic swords that are bashing each other in head and

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>it just it didn't seem like an appropriate way to

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>celebrate your birthday. Now, they tell me that you're turning fifty, which, uh,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that's impossible because that would mean that I'm sixty, and

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not possible. So you're thirty nine, happy thirty nine,

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm forty nine. I like it a lot better now.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>They asked me to ask you a question. I do

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>have a question. I've been wanting to ask me for

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a long time, and it's pretty simple. Um, how do

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>you put up with will? I mean, really, look, you're

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>intelligent and talented and successful and beautiful, and you have

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>all of these qualities that quite honestly, Will doesn't have

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and I want to know how, after all these years

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>you do it? How do you do it? How do

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>you do it? Anyway? Listen, happy birthday. I hope you

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>have a great nine birthday and and stay safe and

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I hope to see you soon. Mr Clooney, the one

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and only my God. He looks great. He does he does?

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>He looks great. No, I'm just saying it looks great.

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that what you really have to learn is

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>how to have a friendship, you know, because really, how

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>do you put up with anybody? How do you put

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>up with you know, yourself, even yourself, you know. And

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>once you learn how to put up with yourself, you

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>really learn how to put up with all others. And

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I think for me, I had so much emotional maturity

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that I had to do. I really had to take

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the time to learn how to love myself. Because how

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>we love ourselves is how we show people how to

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>love us. I'm sorry, can we run that back? How

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 1>we love ourselves is how we show people how to

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>love us. Absolutely I had been weak in that area. Yeah,

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>we're going to go with another question. Let's roll it. Hi, Judah,

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, I'm so excited for you. Oh my god,

0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I just love you so much. Oka us all look good, woman,

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.799
<v Speaker 1>So I think of you as such a deeply, deeply

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>courageous person. So my question for you is do you

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>have any fears that you're looking to conquer in its

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>next decade of your being on this planet? That's my question. Okay,

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>happy birthday, Happy birthday. That's actually it's a good one, Carrie.

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>So she's amazing. Um, fears to overcome. Sure, I have

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fears. Just the state of the world

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>is so uncertain. So I'm really trying to work on

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>my control issues and just let go. Do you think

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that letting go is like one of the biggest gifts

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of growing older? I do. It's the greatest gift. I

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>swear that is the part that I've really been feeling

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 1>at fifty. I just I'm not feeling the stress of

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>being so worried about everything. Yeah, that's a process. These

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>questions are amazing. Yeah, shall we do another Happy birthday? Jada.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for leading, Thank you for showing us the way.

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for advocating and showing the world how much

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you care for us. Thank you for being Okay, my

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 1>burning question for you. What is one place that you

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>traveled in your lifetime that changed your world perspective, that

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>changed you somehow? Um, I want to know. I love

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>your mom. That's a great question too. With that smiling Vietnam,

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I went there by myself. I got an opportunity to

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>meet one of my mentors, which is Tick, not hant Um.

0:06:54.400 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>He was ill, you know, but I got to give

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>him honor and be in his presence. It is a

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>gorgeous place. The spiritual rejuvenation that I got there was

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to leave, and you can really feel

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>that energy there. It was such a magical experience. I

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>need to go with you next time. Okay, who's next?

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>What's our next question? Happy birthday, lovely, lovely, beautiful jad

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm adding my voice to your course of a murderous

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>wishing you a happy birthday. I'm I'm happy forever. Here's

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>my question. What has been the most difficult thing for you? Wow?

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>That woman there, Okay, I can't wait to have her

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>come because I know she's got some wisdom. I know

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>she's got a angela. I love her. She is also

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I love you. It's good. Can we get some tissue? Shoot?

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Up overcomes so many difficult, many things. Can I tell

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you one of my favorites, tell me dealing with me

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and Jaden? We were not easy children. You actually were

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe Jaden was. It weren't difficult raising children don't care

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>who they are. That's challenge, That's what I'm saying. I'm

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>raising Being a mother is challenged because you sacrifice a lot.

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you what sacrificing for you, guys was sacred.

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a difference between sacrifices that actually empower your life

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>versus sacrifice that steal life, that pulled away, pull breath

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>out of your life. And I had to learn the

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>difference between the two. Still doesn't make it easy. It

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make it easy at all, you know. But you

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>guys have been the greatest gift of my life, the greatest.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you guys have been an amazing treasure for me.

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>That was you and Will's gift to each other. H

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>m hmmmm. I guess I've been so loving and supportive.

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And you guys just see me, You and Trey and Jaden,

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>all three of you see me. You really do. You're

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the toughest times. I would say being a mother wasn't

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 1>easy but it was worth it. M hm. You know

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I would saying. Another challenge was smoothing out my thoughts

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>around you know, the relationship with Sharia. That was a

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>real process. You basically let me know I don't really

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>appreciate your tone, and I was like, I ain't domatic,

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and you hung up on me. Girl. I called back,

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and I happened to say, quote, bitch, you living in

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a house I picked out. You said, it's my house. Now,

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>who I love it when I think about our relationship. Now,

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 1>there's a real sisterhood there. But it took I was

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>going to say it took years. It was really a

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>transformation for all of us, having a blended family and

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>getting to a place where there was ease, there was

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 1>ease with it, and having complete utter acceptance, you know,

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>like Ly has acceptance for me and all my nonsense.

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I have acceptance for her and all her nonsense. There's

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a real beautiful sisterhood there. Some special people just wanted

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.080

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I really can't believe you're fifty years old. I should

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>be like a hundred and eighty five by that measure.

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You really are a terrific person. I'm very fond of you,

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and I want to say that seriously. I am fifty three.

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I turned fifty uh three years. I've never been great

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>at math, but it was I think it was about

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>three years ago. And um, if there's one thing I've

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 1>learned over my fifty three years on this planet Earth,

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 1>it's that me eat yogurt. You know, the fruits on

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the bottom, but it really should be on the top.

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, Jada, that's hilarious. Oh my goodness, yogurt, Jimmy,

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I love Jimmy so much. How about that

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>wallpaper where Sara was I couldn't get over it, Ryan wallpaper.

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>And then Maria she she just looks like she has

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>not aged one bit. She looks fantastic. Oh that's awesome. Okay,

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>we have a fabulous at fifty. Who wants to welcome

0:12:54.880 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>you to the club? Okay, Bethany Frankel, Hank, Beth, I'm

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>so honored. What a special day. How does fifty feel

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>for you? Fifty feels liberating. You just value time differently.

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>You just want to only really do the things that

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>are important that means something to you. Yeah, that's real talk.

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly how I'm feeling. And I get it now.

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I wasted too much time, I guess. Yeah, I'm just

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>focusing on the relationships that are really important. I don't

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>have time for all the little relationships that have had

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.439
<v Speaker 1>around before. That's interesting because it's sort of like in business,

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you decide how to build vertically or horizontally, whether you

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>want to go deeper or what to go wider. So

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you're saying I'm going deeplyper vertically with these people that

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>are my people. My circles kind of basically closed. That's

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. So I want to really nurture that

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and let those people know how much they mean to

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.839
<v Speaker 1>me and invest in that, versus spreading yourself so thin

0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>with superficiality. Yeah. Yeah, that's That's a great way to

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>put it, Bethanie, because that's where I'm at instead of

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>going what I'm definitely going deeper. You know. So you

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:14.079
<v Speaker 1>found love and got engaged at fifty, Bethany, tell us

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>about your guy. Tell us about this whole fifty swag. Uh,

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Paul's incredible. Uh, it's great. And we've both been married

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>before and we both have made mistakes, so we don't

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>take it for granted. And we didn't walk in just

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking this has to be this lifelong, unrealistic fantasy rainbows, unicorns,

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>love and flowers. So it's been a beautiful thing for

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 1>me to work through a lot of my stuff from

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>my childhood and my lack I've ever really seeing a

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>positive relationships. It's great to be learning and be really

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 1>involved in what it takes to be successful in a

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>relationship when I've only been successful in business and philanthropy.

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I love that, Bethany. Let me tell you that sounds

0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>really adult and grown yess that comes with exactly know.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's do a little fill in the blank game. One

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of your birthday wishes for fifty is to take a breath,

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>take a second before I act and said you and

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>just like think about it and digested. Years ago, I

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>had a terrible situation that I was going through and

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the therapist at the time said, you see the email,

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, wait six hours to respond. So even in

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.359
<v Speaker 1>situations when you think if you waited six minutes to respond,

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>it just means like not to get so activated because

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>it could pass, not to be so reactive to everything.

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Just chill, just give it an That's a good one.

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, Bethany. And I just gotta say

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>you are goals, Henny, were sure. Thank you. What a

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>great experience. I have loved this. Congratulations on all your

0:15:54.040 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>success and happy happy fifty year. Thank you. Yeah, but

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>one of your besties wants to know, Hey, Boom, it's

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>your best friend me. No, anyway, happy birthday. I love

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you so much. You are just one of the most

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>genuine people I have ever met. You are a blessing

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>in human form. You are my spiritual sacred sister. I

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 1>am so blessed to know you. Congratulations on being fifty

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and the riving and being ageless. I want to ask you,

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>because you're such an inspiration to so many, what genuinely

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>inspires you? Lauren? Yes, Lauren and I we've been on

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>a deep healing journey together. We have really connected on

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a deep spiritual plane. She's been working through some of

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>her traumas and I've been doing the same. You guys

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>have such a special relationship. I just love it. Yeah,

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I just love it. She's a joy. She's a joy,

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:20.439
<v Speaker 1>is a joy, and she's she's special. Chance. What inspires you?

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Was her question? Lately, the Great Supreme. My journey to

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>find a relationship with the Great Divine has been long,

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and now that I found it, and really

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I found a gait that really works for me. That's

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>where all my inspiration comes from. It has changed my

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>life for the better. And it's just been a beautiful

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>journey through and through. That's beautiful. Well, that was a

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 1>really really good question. Who's next? Hi, Jada? I just

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to say, happy birthday, my God. I hope I

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>look like you, and I'm wise like you when I

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>turn it fifty. My question is what would your advice

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 1>be when it comes to parenting and raising children in

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the industry? M M, yeah, that's a good one, and

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I love the red what I read. I really tried

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to keep you guys in understanding that you're really privileged

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and that you've got to use your privilege to help

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>people who are not. You guys started doing your charity

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 1>work at a very young age, you know, three or

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.639
<v Speaker 1>four or five, six, seven, eight nine. I would physically

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>take them to the orphanage so they could see not

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>every child lives like you do. I think that really helped.

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You always made that very clear, which was very helpful.

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I wanted you guys to work early, and I thought

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>that was a good idea because you guys understood early

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:13.479
<v Speaker 1>the value of money and things, you know, and you

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>understood that it didn't just come out, and we understood

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 1>that you work to get the thing. All right, you

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>want a new game, you're gonna don't earn it. It

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>wasn't just and you would always tell us, actually you

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and Dad both would tell us, um, this is this

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>is our money, this is this is our house, not

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>not not yet for you guys. You live here, you're here,

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you were inspiring us to create something for ourselves. Let's

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>roll some more. Okay, Jada Pinkett, you are a rare

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:52.680
<v Speaker 1>black diamond, strong, beautiful and illuminating. I hope that your

0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>birthday is filled with love, laughter, joy. I do get

0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.679

<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, Queen, Love you, Happy no mouth don't make

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:11.120
<v Speaker 1>My question is someone at the miniature is you Philip?

<v Speaker 1>That was like gosh yam. And Miss Tina she got

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a nerve that was beautiful from one mother to another. Dude,

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you've done a beautiful job as well. Absolutely, and Miss

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:39.080

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>That was luminous and shining. I just love her to death.

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:47.159
<v Speaker 1>We've had such good times together. Um and Stefans, I

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>mean they got there and only Red Table Talk comments September.

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 1>I just love you. We got more questions for you, honey,

0:21:55.600 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's hit that. Jada Pinkett Smith, what's happy fifty birthday?

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations on another year on this planet, and thank you

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 1>so much for making our lives so much better with

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 1>everything that you do. My question is you talk about

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 1>how you and Will have to learn about inspiring each

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>other's happiness but not being each other's happiness. So how

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>do you know when you're expecting Will to make you happy?

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And how do you know when Will is adding to

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.399
<v Speaker 1>your happiness that you've already created. Yeah, that's that's a

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:32.920
<v Speaker 1>really question. Do you know it's Trevor. Trevor's gonna ask

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>something real real. Yeah. So the idea of when you're

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>expecting someone to phil your happy place and be your

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 1>happy place versus you creating your happy place within, you

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>have to be your cake. You're grateful when somebody wants

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to be you know the sing or the cherry on topic.

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>But you got your cake because you're that that you

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>are that and so when you you know when you're

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 1>out of pocket, when you are looking for someone to

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>bring you a sense of joy, when you have your

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:20.879
<v Speaker 1>own happiness within and you have more understanding that a

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>nobody owes you anything and be that anything anyone decides

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to offer you is a gift. Miss Jadob Pickett, Miss Jacob,

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you happy birthday, May you be

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 1>blessed with more? Was the more knowledge is? So you

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>already know what they say, Black don't crack. We always

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>stay in text. But I got a question for you

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>as you enter this new era, what you're gonna leave behind,

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>what you're not tolerting, what's gonna be new for this

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:56.439
<v Speaker 1>new decade? Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. They love

0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>us a missing Oh my goodness, she said, think this

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 1>year too. So what am I leaving behind and not tolerating?

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not tolerating nonsense from myself. When you don't

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:14.720
<v Speaker 1>tolerate nonsense from yourself, then you definitely nobody else, nobody else.

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I'm leaving behind. I just want to

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>keep leveling up a lot of times, like when we

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>want to play victim in our lives, and I think

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I spent a lot of my life playing victim, right,

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:28.359
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, people do things to you, there's no doubt

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>about that, but you have the power to make the

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:36.119
<v Speaker 1>decision on how you're going to move through what is

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>happening to you. You want to sit there and start

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 1>pointing fingers at everybody all the time and stay in

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:44.120
<v Speaker 1>victim when now you're giving your power away. You stay

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>on this merry go round or you did this to me,

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 1>You did this to me, and you did and that's

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:51.359
<v Speaker 1>all you're doing all day long. It's always somebody else

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 1>another situation, right, instead of what part did I play?

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest change for me at fifty is

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>like I had to really look at it all and

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 1>take responsibility for every piece, because that's how you take

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>your power back. I had to lay my whole life out,

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>every bit of it. I had to look at every

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 1>piece of pain, and I had to go what part

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>did you play in that? Because at the end of

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the day, pretty much everything you bring into your life

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you invited it, ex suffered, people victimized when it comes

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to physical and physical you know, all that kind of stuff.

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, people that we decided to bring into our lives,

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>circumstances that we decided to bring into our lives, how

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 1>we decide to think about things we invited all I

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 1>had to look at that and I had to start

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:42.880
<v Speaker 1>uninviting things. I had to take responsibility on how my

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 1>unhealthiness brought in a lot of unhealthy dynamics. Instead of

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 1>me paying attention on how to change other people, I

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 1>started focusing on how to change myself. And that's when

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 1>my life changed. That's when I got happy. Coming in

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>hot another burdening question for you, Let's roll it, hey, Jada,

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 1>that's right, milestone birthday. I'm right there with you, and

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:14.199
<v Speaker 1>I know you know you you get older, you realize

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>what you just when you want to get impact on

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the world, like you want to make people better. You

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.400
<v Speaker 1>want to make the world better. And I got to say,

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you have more than done your share of that. So

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm proud of you. I'm happy for you, and I

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you, when you look back at your career,

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 1>what is the one thing that you realize now that

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you wish you knew when you were younger. Yeah, that's

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a good one. Michaels so funny. First of all, Michael,

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get him back on the golf course. I'm

0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>not competing with Michael, because Michael is a real deal athlete. Yeah,

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to turn that dragon, but he is

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>fun to play golf with. I tell younger Jada to

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit more nice. I was very edgy.

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:58.479
<v Speaker 1>I really had a big chip on my shoulder. My

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 1>attitude was like, I'm not the one that edging. This

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 1>kept you safe because you didn't have people coming at

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you with the nons exactly. I think I was just

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>really mean, definitely coming with that Baltimore Street. I'd never

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 1>forget more in Baby, more Baby, and I love war.

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>He was interested in me doing a certain project. He said,

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jada, it wouldn't hurt you just to to

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:30.719
<v Speaker 1>just to be a tag more kind, so sweet. He

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>was trying to let me know then just you know,

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:37.159
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, you're doing down. Just a middle You're in

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>l A. The one thing that I didn't realize until

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>very recently was that you never wanted to be a star. No,

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I never realized that because I would always

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>be like, she doesn't participate, that she didn't not going out.

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>He will had a hard time understanding that too. He

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:57.679
<v Speaker 1>would say, you don't want to be He was like,

0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>why don't you want to be the number one? Act

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 1>like he thought I was crazy. I just wanted to

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.159
<v Speaker 1>do what I love and pay my bills doing I

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 1>think I'm the same way with you. I'm like, well,

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm always you could be doing this, you could be

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>doing that, and your damn, I'm good. Jada. I love

<v Speaker 1>Enjoy those fitties. He was one of the first people

<v Speaker 1>the light that you instill and everything that you do

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. My question for you is you said that

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>everything changed when you turn forty, So what advice do

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 1>you have for this woman who has just turned forty?

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Megan has turned forty. Wow, for me, forty was harder

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 1>than I actually got depressed. I went through a bit

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of a depression and I got the stupid ass at too,

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:46.240
<v Speaker 1>that thing on my leg, the peace and Love sign.

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:54.360
<v Speaker 1>When you're turning forty. Don't make any drastic changes. Just

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>sit with it for a minute. I just remember at

0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>forty feeling like what the hell right? I hit a wall.

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what do you want? And I didn't know.

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't answer the question. Make sure you can answer

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the question. That's the first step. Look at your life

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and look at what's happening, and see what you're happy with,

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and see what you're not happy with, see what needs change.

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Most of the time, you're gonna find that it's stuff

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that you have to change within yourself. And that's the

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:28.239
<v Speaker 1>most difficult part. You're gonna realize that the stuff that

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>worked before you turn ford, it's not gonna work anymore.

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Be gentle, Yeah, I think there's more. Let's let's hit it.

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Jada Will jumped out of a helicopter on his fiftie.

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>What's on your bucket list? What's gonna do. Happy birthday.

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, that's funny. Do you have a bucket list?

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a good question. I actually do, but it's it's

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>not not physical. It's just not physical. Yeah, exactly. No,

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I get I'm not there with you, and I absolutely

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 1>youth or whatever. I want to talk about. The transformation,

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a maturity and growth is when you look in

0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the mirror and get tidy own b s. As soon

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>as I have for you, it was like, what am

0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I doing? You know? Things weren't going according to the

0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:09.080
<v Speaker 1>way I felt they should. After going overseas in the

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:12.360
<v Speaker 1>same year about the fifth time, because uh, the money

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 1>here was drying up for nineties artists, you know, I said,

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.439
<v Speaker 1>what else is there for me to do? What else

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.839
<v Speaker 1>can I do? Um, you know, for myself? So I

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:23.880
<v Speaker 1>decided to take things one step at the time. What

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.760
<v Speaker 1>can I improve on? What am I in control out? First?

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Control of my body? Yeah, let's do that. Yes, and no, lie,

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.800
<v Speaker 1>this is no cap whatsoever. But I've seen a picture

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:44.880
<v Speaker 1>again yea, bless you, sister, bless you my gosh. And

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like wow, yeah, yeah, than for real. And

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.879
<v Speaker 1>I was like, um, you know what, it's never too late.

0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 1>Before your transformation, you had insomnia and xiety. Yeah. Yeah.

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 1>The anxiety part of it was, well, if we're not

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 1>getting enough sleep, and then you always worried about, um,

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you know where the next check is going to come from,

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 1>especially when you're an entertainment business. You're creating your own jobs.

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:16.960
<v Speaker 1>At times, the insomnio was really kicking my butt at

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the time, and I had this membership at the gym,

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 1>small clock in the morning. I was saying, the gym's open,

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh it is. We got the gym. Three days turned

0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 1>into four, four days turned into five, and I've been

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:32.840
<v Speaker 1>going at it since then. This for me was my

0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 1>saving grace. And I think, I'm I'm getting there, and

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you've grown so much. What would you say to your

0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>younger self now? I would look at my youngest self.

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I've grabbed myself by the ears. You're not saying you're

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>good enough. Oh, there you go, you're good enough. Everybody

0:35:55.480 --> 0:36:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to tell you, yeah, remember that, grab yourself by the

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 1>ears right now? Good enough? Yeah, don't wait. And you've

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:13.759
<v Speaker 1>been married for how long I've been with her years?

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:22.720
<v Speaker 1>We got married in a one okay, yeah, so we're twenty.

0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 1>That's that's putting in. That's putting in work. It's work.

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 1>And she would agree, I'm sure absolutely. What is your

0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:35.480
<v Speaker 1>relationship advice? Oh? Man, um, respect this first and foremost. Yeah,
