18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Aleisha Miller, Hey you don Alaisha?

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: Good? How are you so?

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: I know you travel a lot because you are a

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: traveling yes, certified nurse practitioner.

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: Correct, that's correct.

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: What is that?

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: So a travel nurse practitioner is someone who picks up

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: contracts in any state, possibly any country, and they go

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: there for a specific amount of time. It can be

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: three months, six months, a year, depends on the contract,

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: and it's billed as a business. So they pay me

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: as ten ninety nine, so they pay my business, not me.

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: So that's another form of entrepreneurship as well.

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: So that's how did that thought come to you? How

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: did you say, you know something, there's an opportunity to here.

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to make it happen for me because a

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: lot of people just want to work forty hours a

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: week in the city and they live in get a

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: little overtime here and there. That sounds very very you know,

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: independent oriented. Also freedom, you want your want, yeah, and

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: do your own thing, like you said ten ninety nine,

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: So you get your money and you do you know,

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: you deal with it all you want.

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: To have exactly.

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: So I got into that because before becoming a nurse practitioner,

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: I was a nurse and during COVID I traveled as

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: a nurse and that's when I met my mentor, who

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: was a nurse practitioner. She said, you know, you can

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: travel as a nurse practitioner. So I knew in my

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: mind that as soon as I finished nurse practitioner school,

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: I got my year of experience, and after that year

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: of experience, I hit the road as a travel nurse practitioner.

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: So I actually invested in a mentor to teach me

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: how to travel as a nurse practitioner, and it was

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: up from there. It came with freedom, time freedom, financial freedom,

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: and more time for my family.

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Now, when you said time freedom, financial freedom, break that

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: down to us because, like I said, you say, you

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: do contracts, so I'm assuming there's more revenue. All the

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: contracts are bigger when you do the travel versus and

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: stationary in a set city.

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: Actually, yes, that's exactly right.

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: So as a staff nurse practitioner, if I was just

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: based at home as a regular staff, typically for a

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: first year nurse practitioner, they make one hundred thousand dollars.

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: When I went to travel, I made one hundred thousand

64
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: and six months versus one year. So that gave me

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: the time freedom. It freed up the last six months

66
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: of my year and the financial freedom because I actually

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: made more when I have, Like you know, my CPA

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: formulated the way he does with how it's paid.

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: He just calmly said, I normally get one hundred thousand

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: in that year, but as as a travels nurse practitioner,

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: certified nurse practitioner, I get it in six months. And

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: let's say this very clear. What she's saying is that, well,

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: she's a staff. The government takes the taxes out, she's

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: an employee when she gets us as a ten ninety nine.

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: As an entrepreneur, she gets to want to put in

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: a row our age, you want to put a retimer

77
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: froon it. You want to invest in stock, you want

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: to buy real estate. When you travel, you can deduct

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: that from you. When you stay, you conduct that. When

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: you have food, you can travel rental cars. All these

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: deductions that can become a normal way of life become

82
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: deductions for you. And it also allows you to live

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: a lifestyle that's really cool for you, right exactly.

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: You get to travel the world, see the world, meet

85
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: different people, learn different ways of lives, different cultures, all

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: on the expense of the agency.

87
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Alixia, let me ask you this why nurse? Why did

88
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: you want to be a nurse?

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm a nurturer, like I'm a woman,

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: so nurturing comes natural. But I've always i know it's

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: very cliche, but I've always cared for people and it

92
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 3: just came natural to me. The brains behind the nurse

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: is one thing that comes natural, but caring and nurturing

94
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: for people genuinely, that was another thing that led me

95
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: to be a nurse.

96
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Now. But your company is a Florida based even though

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: you travel, your company based in Florida, and you mentioned

98
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: that you help people build successful CPR businesses. Let's start

99
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: with starting your business, the up and downs of starting

100
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: that business, which is called np LUX CPR. Why did

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: you start that business? And who gave you the idea

102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: the inspiration? I should say?

103
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: Okay, so I would say January twenty twenty four, I

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: went to a business entrepreneurship a networking event that were

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: medical professionals. Majority of them were nurses or nurse practitioners

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: that also have their own business, and that just sparked

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: a fuel or sparking me that was like wow, Like

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: the lady was saying, like you if you know how

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: to save a life.

110
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: Don't you think you know how to run a business?

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: And I said, hmm, I never thought of it that way.

112
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: So you're doing something right here. What I call I

113
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: always say people, you know, when you're making money and

114
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: you're working, that's called working wealthy because when you start working,

115
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: then the wauth goes away. Then you have mailbox money.

116
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: That's what she's talking about. That's the money when you're sleeping,

117
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: you going on vacation, you sick. Check just starts coming

118
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: into the mailbox because that's a stream that you physically

119
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: don't do, not have to participate on. That's the smart way.

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: But let's talk about you. And because you're very independent,

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: very outgoing and very fearless. Yes, Now, what do your

122
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: peer group say about you or your friends say about you?

123
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: They say you're doing too much? Are they telling you

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: need to settle down? Girl? You're gonna hit it an

125
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: agent point where you know, don't nobody want you? You really get?

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: What's the word out on the street for Elisabella?

127
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: I feel like.

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: I motivate my peers, my peers. I feel like my

129
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: peers look up to me. So nobody's ever came at

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: me in that way. And I surround myself by like

131
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: minded individuals. I don't surround myself around small minded individuals.

132
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 3: So I think people get the vibe when they see me,

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: when they hear me talk that she's not the one.

134
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: To approach like that. So I've never really had that

135
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: like you're doing too much. You need to this.

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: You know, maybe the older community like my grandma or

137
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: something like that, but you know they're getting with it

138
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: as they see the productivity and reaping the benefits.

139
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: They're like, you know, keep going, keep going.

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: I want to go back to a phrase you said,

141
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: because I just want clarity on this. They say, if

142
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you can save a life, you could run a business. Please,

143
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: if you can help me put the two and two

144
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: to equal four on that statement right there.

145
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: Well, I feel that.

146
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: I mean, in the medical world, to save a life,

147
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: that's very extensive.

148
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: That's a lot of things you have to know.

149
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: That's that dance cardiac life support so and that's part

150
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: of CPR, that's one of the certifications I teach. So

151
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: if you know how to jump start a heart, that's

152
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: more in depth, more intricate than a business starting a business.

153
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: So they say that in the lines of it's very difficult.

154
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: It's very intricate the medical film, right, But a business

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: isn't as bad as you think it is. To get

156
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: it started, to learn systems. Once you get that thing

157
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: on autopilot, it can go. And yes you're gonna have

158
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: your ups and down, but it's nowhere near knowing everything

159
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: you need to know about every chronic illness.

160
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: I have a sister in law, she's in nursing, okay,

161
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and you know that's a really dramatic business that you're in.

162
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, people die, people die in front of you,

163
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: people who you've loved. You see sudden young people being brutalized.

164
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: You see relationships where people are being brutalized. So it's

165
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: a lot of drama or trauma that can come to

166
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: you mentally that you can't control. You can't control it,

167
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: and so that leads to burnout. Okay. One of your

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: questions was how frontline burnout and healthcare became the catalyst

169
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: for you building your business. N P Luck CPO talk

170
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: about how you's all that you were in a burnout

171
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: phase and also give people a listening that may not

172
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: be aware they're in that same burnout phase to seek help.

173
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I would say as my And this is

174
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: a double parted question because I would say my first

175
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: year as a nurse practitioner, I mean even being a

176
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: nurse to begin with, when we worked during the COVID phase,

177
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: we were working six days a week. We had one

178
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: day off during that. That established a lot of burnout

179
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: for nurses. Period you're working six days on one day

180
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: off a week. Then when I became a nurse practitioner,

181
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: a lot of primary care, urgent care clinics they are

182
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: kind of shifting to commercial style. So you have these

183
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: bigger people that are buying these urgent cares and primary cares,

184
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: and they're.

185
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: All about the numbers.

186
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: They're all about see five patients an hour because we

187
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: want to make x amount of money. They don't care

188
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: about the health of the provider. So once you once

189
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 3: enough is enough and you're too tired to even enjoy

190
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: your family, you don't even have time for yourself, your

191
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: self care goes down.

192
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: You gain weight.

193
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: I ended up gaining about thirty to forty pounds and

194
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: losing it. I lost myself giving it to a job

195
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: burnt out. So that's what made me get into traveling

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: because I made double the pay in half the time

197
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: and then that's what gave me the opportunity and the

198
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: time freedom to establish entrepreneurship, which isn't as mentally depriving

199
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: as working in practice.

200
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: And you know, it's really, it really is true. When

201
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: you're not happy, you tend to eat. Yeah, And I

202
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: remember I gained my weight when I was you know,

203
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: I was just understressed and stress. Sometimes you relieve stress

204
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: by doing something, and doing something sometimes just eating and

205
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: you can't control your life, you will eat because exactly

206
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: eating is a way of comfort, but it also could

207
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: lead to you know, high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, and

208
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: also an unhealthy lifestyle. But it's all something that really

209
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: they just touch me as always. The survival gap. You

210
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: talk about the CPR survival gap in the black community.

211
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Why is that? You know, first of all, why is

212
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: the black communities of communities of color always behind and

213
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: everything behind the money we behind in tech, we buy

214
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: in healthcare. And you tell me right now, survivorrates for

215
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: cardiac arrests. Cardiac arrests are significantly lower in communities of

216
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,479
Speaker 1: color because they lack access to basic emergency skills.

217
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: Come on, man, it's everything, every thing that you just mentioned, finances, education, knowledge,

218
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: financial literacy. All of that is because of lack of

219
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: access to that knowledge, to that literature, to that exposure.

220
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 3: So they can't know what they don't know. I don't

221
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: know what I don't know. So that's why you know,

222
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: cardiac survivor rates are significantly lowered there, and that's why

223
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: everything is lower there in poverty because they lack exposure.

224
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: They don't know. So somebody goes down, don't know what

225
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: to do.

226
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: So how do how do we balance that? How can

227
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: we uplift the CPR survival rate in the black community,

228
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: the other with communities of color because we got access

229
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: to the internet now more so we can google things.

230
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: What can you do? Are you doing to change the

231
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: momentum of that curve that seems to be going downward

232
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: spiraling consistently standing in the downward bend of the curve

233
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: where we can start leveling it off. Just level it off.

234
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: I just want to level it off.

235
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah, Like I one thing that I did

236
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,239
Speaker 3: is I establish like a nonprofit organization's we Push Health organization,

237
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: and I go out to these rural areas, urban areas,

238
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: and I teach basic medical knowledge, whether that's blood pressure,

239
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: whether that's STD, sexual education, CPR, partnering with schools, communities, churches,

240
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 3: where we are, you know, to get the knowledge out there,

241
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 3: to make it fun, to make it engaging. So that's

242
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: what I do, to put this knowledge out there and

243
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 3: make it to where very lame as turns to where

244
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: they can relate. So because of my age, I'm kind

245
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 3: of young yet mature at the same time, I can reach.

246
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 2: A lot spectrum.

247
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: What that is. I'm kind of young, yeah, but you're

248
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: I don't know what all you over thirty and near

249
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: forty or in your twenties. What is it? What's your

250
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: all of you?

251
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: So I'm thirty three, okay, cool, Okay, good.

252
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: So at that age I can speak to teenage girls

253
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: and they can relate.

254
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: They're listening to.

255
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Older women early twenties, so just you can't relate to them.

256
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, and they're willing to listen, right. So you

257
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: know that's how I push it out there. We push health.

258
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: I push that out there. For that I go out

259
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: to like the football leagues.

260
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: I'll do their physicals.

261
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 3: While I'm doing that, I'm still educating them on different things,

262
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: whether that's red flags that pop up in their physicals.

263
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: But throughout all of that it's more of just like

264
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: community exposure and getting out there.

265
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Well know, the interesting thing about you, and I wanted

266
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: to bring you on the show is that because you

267
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: are a young woman, you know, because thirty three years young.

268
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: And I always tell because people start getting a certain

269
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: pattern of life, they don't want to get challenged or

270
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: change the system, or they go may just say what

271
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen if it goes wrong, I'll be forty. What

272
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen if it goes wrong, I'm gonna be fifty.

273
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: I got to say, well, I'm gonna stay. So can

274
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: you tell people who are listening to a person like you,

275
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: who are at eighteen said I'm gonna be here at

276
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty two, I'm gonna be here twenty six. But you

277
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: always bring back mentorship in our conversation. So it's important

278
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: that you. I would tell people, this is advice that

279
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: get people. If you want to be a doctor, do

280
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: not go to a mechanic for advice. And that's the

281
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: key because they because you're trying to be something that

282
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: they I saw it on TV. But they can't tell

283
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: you the ins and outs or the pathway to success.

284
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: Talk about the important mentorship again at this point because

285
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: you're doing something that somebody exposed you.

286
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: To exactly exactly.

287
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: I believe mentorship and I never knew about it until

288
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: January of twenty twenty four.

289
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: But mentorship is so important.

290
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: It will help you to mitigate all those speed bumps,

291
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: all those delays, and it will fast track your pathway

292
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: to where you're trying to get to. In mentorship, anything

293
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: that you want to do, whether that's a doctor, a nurse,

294
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: a hairstylist, whatever you want to do, you find someone

295
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: that's the ideal image of what you want to be

296
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: and you study that person. Because you don't have to

297
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: reinvent in the wills to be successful in what you

298
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: want to do. You find somebody that you admire and

299
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: that you want to be like, and you mimic.

300
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: Exactly what they do.

00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to get you some more mailbox money.

313
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: All right, right, Okay, so do you have a web

314
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: website set up for this?

315
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

316
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: So my website is www dot mp lux. That's Lux

317
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: cpr dot com. You can go there. I also have

318
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: Instagram which is in p Lux CPR, and I have

319
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: a digital product that walks you through the steps of

320
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: how to launch a lucrative CPR business.

321
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I love the word. Let's own this show. Walk

322
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: us through the opportunities and why someone should consider because

323
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you can keep your full time job

324
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: and you still do this right and this can become

325
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: a lucrative side hustle.

326
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: Correct, walk us.

327
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: Through and some people even expand it to a full

328
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: time But yes, I feel that my target audience for

329
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 3: CPR it can be anybody. People don't know CPR is

330
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: utilized everywhere. If you're in the police department, if you're

331
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: a fireman, if you're a tattoo artist, if you're in

332
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: a daycare, schools, gyms, healthcare professionals, all of those areas

333
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 3: that I and that's just the minimum hotels that all

334
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: of their people have to be CPR certified. So it's

335
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: finding your niche. But my thing is when I target people,

336
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: it's just knowing that your target audience for your sell

337
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: or what you want to do, if you want to

338
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: be a CPR business is right in front of you

339
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: every day. With me, I work around health care professionals

340
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: every day, and I know they need see PR certification

341
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 3: every two years. They have to recertify every two years,

342
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: So this is somebody that's in my pipeline until they retire.

343
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: I just reach back out to them every two years.

344
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: So when something is first nature to you, especially if

345
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: there are any healthcare professions out there that are interested,

346
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: you already know this information yourself. It's just teaching it

347
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: to the next person because you implement it at work.

348
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: Let's why not monetize it right now?

349
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Because that happens with me. Just an example of my

350
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: fire extinguishers, I'm a guy who comes every year like

351
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: a month before he'll come Jean, it's that time. And

352
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: guess what, he gets that check every year because I'm

353
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: on his in his roller decks to contact. Say I

354
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: have a meter outside. This guy calls me every year

355
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: time to get that inspected. I don't look anywhere. So

356
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 1: it's important to get that relationship. So it help us

357
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: with how does one get the relationship because those were

358
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: two that established with me. Came in if I didn't know,

359
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: they shall not look cards. They were persistent, and all

360
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now they're going to be doing business

361
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: with me as long as I own this building. He's

362
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: going to do my fire extinguishers and he's going to

363
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: do my water meters. So how can one who gets

364
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: certified through your program launch as an entrepreneur? How do

365
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: they get these contacts?

366
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: So once you go through my program, it is more

367
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 3: of like a group mentorship. So you have me as

368
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: a sphere of influence. And if I don't know, I

369
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 3: probably know somebody that does know. Okay, So I have

370
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: a lot of my mentees that come back and say, hey,

371
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: what do you think I should do with this? How

372
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: do you think I should do this? Where can I

373
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: find a cloth like I'm going to be a vendor

374
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 3: at a healthcare event. Well do you know somebody for this?

375
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: So it is having someone to guide you so you're

376
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: not wasting time looking for it, but to find.

377
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: You know, people to certify things like that. We go

378
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: over who is.

379
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: Your target audience? Okay, daycarees? You can simply google daycares

380
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: and this is zip code. You can reach out to

381
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 3: all of them. You can have your business cards, you

382
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: can walk in, you can ask them, you know what

383
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: does your CPR search look like? You can make yourself mobile.

384
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: That's what I do to make me more lucrative. Like

385
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: your people don't have to come to me, I can

386
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: come to the daycare. So it's just different things like that,

387
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: educating them on that and that's how they establish those contacts.

388
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: Now, MS Miller, the realities and opening a small business,

389
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: the realities of being an entrepreneur. They all sound great,

390
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, especially African American women are the number one

391
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: founders of small businesses. Y'all are on fire when it

392
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: comes to jumping out there and starting open these doors

393
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: and starting the business now, but there are some realities

394
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: that starting the business. Can you walk since you are

395
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: were questioning that young people or people seek an opportunity

396
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: to do a CPR business, Let's tell them about some

397
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: of the realities that they have to be willing to

398
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: put into it. And one of them is time. You

399
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: better have time, But that's the mistake. Most people may

400
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: enable some other things, some other realities that they should

401
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: look out for starting a new business.

402
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: I would say, uh realities are a lot of people

403
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: who get into entrepreneurship deal with imposter syndrome, like am

404
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: I really have? I really shifted from clinician to CEO?

405
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: So it's establishing your new presence now and know that

406
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: that comes with vulnerability. You have to be comfortable with

407
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: calling out your price, knowing what you bring to the table.

408
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: So some people starting out, they'll underprice themselves. Now you're not,

409
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: you know, producing as much as you wanted to do.

410
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: So that's one of the realities. Another reality is remaining consistent,

411
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: staying in front of your target audience, because how does

412
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: anybody know what you offer if you don't tell them.

413
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: So it's getting outside of you know, I'm scared to

414
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: be in front of the crowd. I'm scared to do this.

415
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 3: We have to get over a lot of those fears

416
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: and be consistent because you only eat what you kill.

417
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: You only make the money on what you once you make.

418
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: So this is in a W two. So I have

419
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: to educate them a lot on that, but just learning

420
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 3: different aspects of the business, branding and marketing, staying consistent,

421
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: reaching out.

422
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: Following up.

423
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: A lot of that is hard and people think like, oh,

424
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: I leave my nine to five, like entrepreneurship is, you know,

425
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: Daisies and roses. No, a lot of time you work

426
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: more hours in your business than you did on the

427
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: nine to five until you get it systemized. So those

428
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: are the lot of up and downs that they don't

429
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: tell you about, your up seasons.

430
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: Your down seasons, knowing where those seasons hit.

431
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: So that was a lot of things that I had

432
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 3: to learn when I first started, and staying motivated throughout that.

433
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the beginning we were talking about,

434
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: because I'm just watching you super confident, natural leadership skills,

435
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: and you just travel into these areas that need your help.

436
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: You know, you're a stranger, really, you know you when

437
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: you're walking into an environment you know nothing about. They

438
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: just you just have a contract as a as a

439
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: person who's listening to you walk us through the mindset

440
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: of how you walk into a new opportunity and how

441
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: you lead what I being too aggressive, but also accomplishing

442
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: the text because the right task, because you have to lead.

443
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: You can't be a follower walking into these new situations,

444
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: but you can't bump in their heads. Talk to us

445
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: about that.

446
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: I feel like.

447
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 3: You have to learn how to communicate effectively.

448
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: Okay, you have to.

449
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: You have to pick up the vibe of the person.

450
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: Do I have a type A person, a type B person?

451
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: Is this person more emotional? Like do you have to

452
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: hit them in that way? Or do you just have

453
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: to be assertive with this person? So I feel with

454
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: that with walking and going and going into these different places,

455
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 3: adaptability is number one. You gotta be able to adapt

456
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: like that when you're a travel nurse, practitioner or anyway,

457
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: even with entrepreneurship, when I go into different businesses, I

458
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: have to adapt with that. So I feel like adaptability

459
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: is number one with that, but also learning how to

460
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 3: read the room, learning how to read your crowd, and

461
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: how to communicate effectively with them. A lot of times

462
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: it's not I learned to not delegate because that came

463
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 3: off as more I mean I still delegate, but delegate

464
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: the right way. Sometimes I don't say you should do this,

465
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: I should say, hey, I think we would be more

466
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: productive if we did this, because we're a team.

467
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: So it's not that I'm pointing a finger at you.

468
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 3: So it's learning little words like that to say to

469
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: make it more digestible when you speak to someone. And

470
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: I think once you master that, which is a lifelong thing,

471
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: you know, you will master communication.

472
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's really important that people hear that

473
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: because of the fact that new environments also like new jobs.

474
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: You know, you might get hired for the first time,

475
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: how do you come in on your first day? And

476
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: also not being intentmidated by the process because there's a

477
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: high degree of a talidation. Let's talk about the first

478
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: time and the first time you did a contract opportunity

479
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: as a certified nurse practitioner. Excuse me, how was that

480
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: first time that you learned? What did you learn from

481
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: that first time that you use consistently now you go,

482
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: this is how I approach it on the regular basis, Rashan,

483
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: when I enter these new environments.

484
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: Well, I feel that.

485
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: I mean from my first time to my second time,

486
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: I really learned how to negotiate. I really learned how

487
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 3: to see that if there is a scarcity of something,

488
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: I can make my what is it called demand versus supply,

489
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 3: So when the supply is limited, I know that I

490
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 3: can make I can increase the demand for it like

491
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: the demand is there because the supply is limited. So

492
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: I learned that from my first contract. If I go

493
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 3: in and say, they say, well, what's your rate, and

494
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: I say, you know, I'm scared to I'm underpricing right

495
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: ninety right, And I have a mentor that's like, why

496
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: didn't you say one twenty you can be making one

497
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty dollars an hour?

498
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: Da da da, You know things like that.

499
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: But so from my first contract to the second, it's

500
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: learning how to negotiate, learning how to speak what you

501
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: want because you missed one hundred percent of the shots

502
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: that you never take.

503
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: What's the worst they can say?

504
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 3: No, you know, Learning how to be engaging and sociable

505
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: with the people that are already there. I'm not above you,

506
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: I'm with you, and I'm here to absorb in your culture,

507
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: especially with the Indian tribes that I'm with. So I

508
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: feel like becoming one with the environment that you're with.

509
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: Negotiating was another thing, and that's what I did from

510
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: the first contract to the second one that made me

511
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: very successful. And both contracts are willing to take me

512
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 3: back to this day.

513
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,040
