And you looked at 50 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: me and you were almost crying, and you said, I 51 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: just had a baby. I've never left my baby.

And I think I was like so 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: emotional because I think it was just literally like I 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: was breastfeeding it. It was threw three months and I 64 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: had never left his side and I and I had 65 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: to do this appearance because I just launched my collection. 66 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to do it. I just I was contemplating, 67 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: do I bring him like whatever? And I remember when 68 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: this happened and everything was going great.

I've never been 84 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: in a tornado. This is someone trying to tell me 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: like maybe I'm not supposed to be a mom. This 86 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: is crazy. Like I went so dark, I think like 87 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: my hormones were dressed. And Joey finally left us. He 88 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: was like, I'm going out to have more drinks. Oh my, 89 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and I ha gotten there in that pandry, and then 90 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: we sat in the kitchen table. We kind of lift around. 91 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: We were scared shitless because my son was probably six 92 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: at the time and you had a newborn and you know, 93 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: but it's that oh crazy, Oh my god. So that 94 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: was That was exactly ten years ago, maybe even more 95 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: like ten and a half. But I needed to always 96 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: travel with my son until like he was out two 97 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: and a half. And I went to this beauty luncheon 98 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: with Sarah Brown, who at the time was like the 99 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: head of beauty at Vogue for years and years now 100 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: she's at Violet Gray. And we were at lunch and 101 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: after the lunch, She's like, are we gonna go where 102 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: we going to a dad? And I was like, oh no, 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the hotel. My toddlers with me, 104 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: and she looked at me and she said, why do 105 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: you bring him everywhere with you? Like? Why do you 106 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: travel with him? And I said, because what if something 107 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: happens to me, the plane goes down, where I go 108 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: in a car wreck, and I'm traveling. Shees, so it's 109 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: better your baby goes down with you. And I looked 110 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: at her and I was like, okay, I'm never taking 111 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: do I know it's these by the way, and I 112 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: think it's important to share. Here's I think it's important 113 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: to share with our listeners that every working parent has 114 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: these questions, especially a new parent, I think, and being 115 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: these like crazy workaholics that we have always been. I 116 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: think when you have your first child, you're like, Okay, 117 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm just not going to leave him. I'm going to 118 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: keep working. I'm gonna I just bring him wherever I go. 119 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: But I think there's those moments where you contemplate is 120 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: this better or worse for him? And me, like it's 121 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: it's I struggled with that for probably four or five 122 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: years with like when I first had Sky, and it 123 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: was it's still a question. But now they're older and 124 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, more independent. But I think still I think 125 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: every working parent, especially new parents, I think goes is 126 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: it better to leave, it's better to stay? Is it 127 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: better to separate and compartmentalize? Is it better to just 128 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: merge the two? I think I think there's no right answer. 129 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: Like jads don't have that issue. They don't We constantly carpet. 130 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean like we're like, okay, do we take them? 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: Do we leave them home? Is it worse if they're 132 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: traveling around the world with us? Or are they experiencing 133 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: things like but my son isn't remember that he had 134 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: been to thirteen country of course, four years old, five 135 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: years old Milan fashioned we Land, and he'll look around 136 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: and goes, oh Milan, okay, Mommy chase pigeons and pizza 137 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: like he knew exactly what he wanted. By the way, 138 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Scotler did the same. They chase pigeons. They could never cast. Yeah. 139 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: To this day, he's like, I will never go to 140 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: the lawn again. My mom would leave me with the 141 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: nanny atom chasing pigeons. And I'm like, what, Greg, what 142 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: do you mean? I was the best mom. I took 143 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: you everywhere. Mom, Yeah, but I did. I made up 144 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: for I took him to Kiera for Aggie's wedding in Sicily. 145 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: At that point, he was thirteen and he loves Fetez 146 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: and so that made up for everything I've ever done 147 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: to him. He said, they are the best couple. They 148 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: are literally like loyalty and I am such nice, nice 149 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: people and I'm so happy for them. But you know, 150 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that because Kiara, I mean, 151 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, you were you know people as as you know, 152 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: people always say like, oh, Rachel's the OG whatever influencer, 153 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: and she said at the time, I obviously, and even 154 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: now still I don't. I don't think of myself as 155 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: an influencer. Um, but I think I think, um, you 156 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: were without question the first I mean I think it 157 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: was probably two thousand and five, pre social media, right, 158 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: pre everything in my space right, my space right right. 159 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I think it's really important to talk 160 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: about because you told me your story fairly recently and 161 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: I just sat there kind of frozen, like how you 162 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: came over, how your parents were here, how you were 163 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: like what made you want? What made you wake up 164 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: and say I want to start blogging at fashion shows? 165 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: I want to start covering this. I want to I 166 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: don't even know what that means right now, but like, 167 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: this is what I want to do. So what even 168 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: gives you that thought? Honestly, when I started the blog. 169 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: So my son was born in two thousand and four 170 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: and in October, and a few months later, you know, 171 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, I realized I don't want 172 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: to go back to work. You know, I had a 173 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: really difficult time conceiving and but then there was this 174 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: stigma of being a stay at home mom. You're not 175 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: doing anything right. And you know, at the time I 176 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: had I was on I was an MTVVJ FROMTB Asia. 177 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: I had several talk shows and television in China and Taiwan. 178 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: So I came back to the US Scott Mary, had 179 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: a baby, found myself living in Texas suburbs, and said 180 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: to myself, I don't want to go back to work. 181 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: I don't want to leave this baby. I don't want 182 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: him to grow up not knowing me and knowing like 183 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: a nanny. And I was shopping all the time because 184 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: I was hanging out with Ken Downing and marriage by 185 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: the way, you and Ky, by the way, when I 186 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: moved here, no one was happier than him and I 187 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: hanging out together all the time so much, and I would, 188 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'd go to luncheons with Michael Cores or 189 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Oscar Ghana or DVF. And I thought, I have access 190 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: to all of these people, you know, I should I 191 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: should interview them or something. But I was really at 192 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: the time, I was just sending my college best friend 193 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: in Cambridge a lot of bags from Meman's and I 194 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: would call their house and her husband is a software engineer. 195 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: And at the time, in two thousand and five, he 196 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: called me because you know voicemails, he saw there's machines, 197 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: and he said, what kind of psychopath called someone's home 198 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: and leaves a twenty minute message about fashion that you 199 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: met somebody in there's a sale and there's a bag. 200 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Why don't you guys start a blog? And so it's 201 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: really his idea and we said, okay, what's a blog 202 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: and he said, it's it's a journal basically in filmline. 203 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: You can have this conversation together and leave me out 204 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: of it, right, Okay, great, So it was this little 205 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: private we were no name, anonymous, and you know you 206 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: call these like call the bags NB. You guys are 207 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: such snobs and twenty dollars ten dollars to buy the name, 208 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: ten dollars for the domain hosting, and then he threw 209 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: up some Google ads and within four, like two months, 210 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: we made four hundred dollars and both of us. I 211 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: went to USC have an international finance degree and she 212 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: was in the entrepreneur program. We both said well, I said, 213 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: because I'm so ambitious. I was like, you can make 214 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: money on this little journal that we have. Wait a minute, 215 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: hold up. So I called pen and even Marcus and 216 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: I said, why don't you buy an ad on my website? 217 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: And they're like, okay, what They didn't even have a 218 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: website yet, and then it was it just started from 219 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: It was very organic. It was just because it was 220 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: so much fun. I loved it. I loved talking about fashion, 221 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: and people started asking questions because you know, imagine two 222 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: thousand and five and you're looking up Chanel bag or 223 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: a Birkmen and there's nothing out there. Because for this 224 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: little blog would come up called bag Snock right from Plendland. 225 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, Vogue editors Alexander Schulman really discovered us and 226 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: did this whole huge article in British Vogue about us 227 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and five or two thousand and six. 228 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: I love her nothing out there. I love her, but 229 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: you know the right place, right time, I always say. 230 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: But we also had this voice, very sassy, and people 231 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: could tell that I came from a place of experience 232 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: expertise because we've been obsessed with bags. That's how we met. 233 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: We would buy each other pot of bags in college 234 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: at USC and tell her parents like when she bought 235 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: me a bag after buyer win back. And that's how 236 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: Batim started. It was purely out of a love of 237 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: not only fashion, but my child. I didn't want to 238 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: go back to work and it was a way for 239 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: me to stay home, stay creative. I blogged next to 240 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: his crib, holding his hands so he would nap, and 241 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: I would so to this day, when he can't sleep, 242 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: he opens his laptop. The hum of a computer knocks 243 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: him out like that. I my god, you see this 244 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: is a sea. This is so important because I think 245 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: I think in talking you know the reason again, I 246 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: didn't want Roster on today because why no, I'm just kidding, 247 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: But it's because I do think it's really important and 248 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: I think, and we're going to get into that in 249 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: a minute, but like how important it is? Too because 250 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: we do focus on relationships. Having that relationship with yourself 251 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: is I think something as women, and especially career driven mothers, 252 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: we struggle with that. We are constantly people always asking like, 253 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: how do you do it all? How do you make 254 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: it look so easy? I'm like, no, none of this 255 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: is easy A and B. There is a There is 256 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: not a minute in a day that I don't have 257 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: an internal struggle about where does my attention and focus go? 258 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: Or like a weekend when I desperately just like to 259 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: sleep for two hours, but then I'll miss time with 260 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: my kids and it's the weekend, and you know, and 261 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: you always pick them right, You never pick yourself. So 262 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's that relationship, and I 263 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: think you know. Something I want to talk to you 264 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: about is sort of like, okay, so at what point 265 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: did you realize that you had this like major business, 266 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: that you were going to turn it into a brand, 267 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: and that you were going to launch you beauty because 268 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: where you just like, everyone stops me about my skin, 269 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: so I need to do something about it.

No. I was never going to 343 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: do a skincare brand. I thought the world had too 344 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: many skincare brands first of all, and I didn't think 345 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: they needed any more noise. And I think because you know, 346 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: it was really hard for me in the beginning when 347 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: we started bagsnob nobody wanted to talk to us, and 348 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: people like, what's the blog? Now? You can't come to Kardisha. 349 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: I remember calling Vickie this like cold calling, or pat Hi, 350 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: can I come to the broad at show in Milan? 351 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: I love product, you know, and I fought so hard 352 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: from my place, and you know, the first show I 353 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: went to was Oscar de Laarenta and they seated me. 354 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: I was like the first seat a show because I 355 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: was invited to other shows like you can stand by 356 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: that corner, really by like behind, just go behind the 357 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: stage time, don't come to friend, But I went. I 358 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: always thought because I knew, I'm just like I have to, 359 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: I have to do this. This is this is something 360 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: I love doing, and it was so worth it to 361 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: me because there were so many days and nights where 362 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: I would be blogging, going what am I doing spending 363 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: my time trying fighting for this business, and and I'm 364 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: holding my son like hoping, and I'm still breastfeeding a 365 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: breastfeed from was two years, and there's all these moments. 366 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: But I just thought, I'm just gonna keep going because 367 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: it just felt right and it gave me something that 368 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: I really loved and had I could do. I love 369 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: my son so much, Brass. I loved my stuff. Like 370 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: you said, I was able to do something and I 371 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: had fun and so I didn't feel guilty having fun 372 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: work right of course, and then it led to a lot, 373 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, so back's not became very well known again 374 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: because there's really no other game in town if not 375 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: being honest. But we had this certain voice that women 376 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: identified with and men. And then it's segue to beauty snob. 377 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: And I remember flying to New York and attending American 378 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: Express Form and listening to Bobby Brown. I remember I 379 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: bought a chicken and I wanted to Bobby Brown was 380 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: like my hero, and I walked I listened to her 381 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: and Kate Spade talking on this American Express Form about 382 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen years ago, and afterwards, I was like, I've 383 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: just start beauty snob because that's really my passion. I 384 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: love the skincare is part of my whole life growing 385 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: up because I wasn't allowed to wear makeup. My grandmother 386 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: would always tell me, if you have great skin, you 387 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: have confidence. Best s faced forward to her who was 388 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: having beautiful, healthy skin, no makeup, and she even said 389 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: to me, you know, you're really short. You total Chinese grandmother, 390 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: Jewish grandmothers and Chinese grandmother's really tough and dust. She said, 391 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: you're really shut, but you have really great skin. You're 392 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: not you're not the prettiest girl here, but you have 393 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: the best skin, and you can go to Harvard. And 394 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm like what, because she said, because you're so confident, 395 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: you can do anything you want in life. And so 396 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: that always stayed with that good skin is self confidence. 397 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: It was beyond like the ego and you know, shallow 398 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: and skin short. And so when I started your beauty, 399 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: it was because this pursuit of having perfect, healthy, glowy skin, 400 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: not perfect but just healthy, of course, to the best 401 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: that anybody can the best at right, And I couldn't. 402 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: I there was I had. I was the first to 403 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: write about the thirteen step routine on Beauty Snaw Back 404 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: and Back in two thousand and six, and Rachel Stuardats 405 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: called me out on it. She said, well, you started 406 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: this mess. I'm like, well, I'm gonna end this mess. 407 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: And I would use twenty products in the morning, twenty 408 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: products at my thirteen steps, and this cosmetic confusion and 409 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: non NonStop waste, and I started creating Rosasha and and 410 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: I just you know, I knew there had to be 411 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: a better way, a smarter way of going about skincare. 412 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: And what didn't involve, you know, throwing a new product 413 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: at a person every week, and you know, I just 414 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: read this thing where they said the reason you have 415 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: fourteen step routines because it makes you feel like you 416 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: have control in this chaotic world. Yeah. Yeah, you really 417 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: really need the first two steps cleansing and moisturizing, and 418 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: then you know the other fourteen step is because you 419 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: feel like you have some semblance of control in this 420 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: chaos of the world. And so then I right, and 421 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: I linked with my longtime friend and now business partner, Katie. 422 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: We were having dinner and I knew she was private 423 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: labeling for I Mean for twenty years and been private 424 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: labling for the other brands, and her husband's family had 425 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: been in the industry for generations. His grandmother was very 426 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: well known in the beauty space. And so she told 427 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: me about this technology that her lab, or clinical grade 428 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: lab in Italy, the biggest one, had developed a technology 429 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: that can treat the skin where it's damaged and bypass 430 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: healthy skin cells, basically guarantee you not to not have 431 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: irritation and to have like full results get the glow. Basically, 432 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: you get what you want with laser resurfacing without the 433 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: laser resurface without damage and the irritation. And that's when 434 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, she said, do you want 435 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: to try it? Do you want to you know, make 436 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: a product? And I just thought it was like being 437 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: invited to Aramas and make a bag or something, right. 438 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: I thought I was just making a serum for myself. 439 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: But because I started handing it to people like you 440 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: and Nikki everybody you Candis want to Pool and Kamila 441 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: Koilo and Kiara backstage, front, front of the house, that 442 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: people were loving it and giving me really thoughtful feedback, 443 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, Michellelee and there was Eva Chen and people 444 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: were like, oh, just imagine acquiring a hundred test test humans. Yeah, 445 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: that's humans. And they all would give super thoughtful feedback 446 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: based on their own experience with beauty because they were 447 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: all experts in their own fields. And that's how you started. 448 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: It was also organic everything I've ever done in my life. 449 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: When people like did you have a business plan? Did 450 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: you say? I always feel so bad. I'm like, I 451 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: didn't have a plan. I just wanted to make the 452 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: best product I couldn't find. No, I didn't have a plan. 453 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: I just wanted to have as much fun as I could. Yeah. Yeah, 454 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: we're very similar. We're very very similar creatures and I think, 455 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: I think because we came up in a different time, 456 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: and I think that because we were pioneers. Like like, 457 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to say pioneers. I don't mean to 458 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: pat us on the back. I just mean like first 459 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: because it didn't exist at the time and we were 460 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: kind of learning as we go, right um. But I 461 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: think with that, I would say the question I get 462 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: asked the most is did you have a plan? Was 463 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: their goals? Was there? This? Was there that did you? 464 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I want to say yes to you 465 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: because I want to tell you how to do this, 466 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: but I honestly can't tell you. It's it's following gut, 467 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: It's a situation that feels right. It's when a time 468 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: feels right to do the next thing, and and and 469 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: so on and so on. And I think I think 470 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: that we are very similar in that our careers were 471 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: born out of a passion for a certain thing or 472 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: many things. And that's the evolution of the brand, right um. 473 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: But a necessity, necessity, you have to do something like 474 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: you if you want to work, if you don't grape, 475 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: if you want to be figured out where you can 476 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: still be as attended. I still did all the our pools. 477 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: You know I raised my son. Oh yeah, between right, 478 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: We're like because of the Internet, we were able to 479 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: do that. Think about thinking our mothers, our grandmothers, they 480 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: even have those options. No way, no way, And I think, okay, 481 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: so it's very important. What I think some people may 482 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: not know because it's a little more on the inside, 483 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: is not only were you probably the first fashion influencer, 484 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: but you have since started a State five, which is 485 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: your own influencer agency, which is so mind blowing because 486 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: there's only a handful there are. I don't think there's 487 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: anyone who is actually the firstborn influencer who actually has 488 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: an agency, so that you're so verse in what is 489 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: needed in each market and influencer marketing. I mean, I 490 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: think speaking to you is like speaking to like ohs 491 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: of influencers because well, because I think you understand stand 492 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: the psychology behind it, the effectiveness of it, the what 493 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: it means to be genuine. Because I think there's a 494 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 1: lot of stigma put on the word influencer, right, and 495 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: people are either obsessed with it or they make fun 496 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: of it, right, I think they look down at it, 497 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, what I want to say 498 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: is I was definitely someone who was a little bit resistant, 499 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: I would say in the beginning, because it it felt 500 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: it was confusing to me, a little bit of um. 501 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't I don't speak about 502 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: you in that way because you worked really hard and 503 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: created something. And I think for me, there's there's such 504 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: a clear, uh, there's such a clear distinct group of 505 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: influencers that stand out, you know what I mean even 506 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: today that right, right, and so I think there's smart 507 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: people that are building brands, and then I think there's 508 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: people that are just trying to make money off take 509 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: their pictures, right right? You know the agency. Really, I 510 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: was not going to start an agency. I don't want 511 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: to manage people. Of course, when I was approached to 512 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: do this, because I was trying to steal one of 513 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: my girlfriends M's she had an employee who was an 514 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: attorney from LA who really helped other celebrities like create 515 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: their digital presence. And when I was about to leave 516 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: my agency, I thought, I'm just gonna bring someone in house. 517 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: When I thought, oh, like Raina James, instead of seeing 518 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: them as competition, bring them all in and teach them 519 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: how to monetize, right, And so I love the idea 520 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: because as a talent, I don't think anyone any other 521 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: agency has you know, a partner or a co founder 522 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: who's also with the talent, who can be like, I 523 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: really get how you feel and they come to me. 524 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: I have my girls, like any of them guys. They 525 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: can text me and they were like, I don't feel 526 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: good about this job, and I'll say, Okay, I get it, 527 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: don't do it like because I know how you like, 528 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: truly can emphasize how they feel because I'm there with them. 529 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: So that side of it is, I think our advantage 530 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: whereas other you know, great agents, they're all everyone brings 531 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: something really different. Our agencies a boutique agency and we 532 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: you know, we just open an office in New York. 533 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: Though we now have also Studio five, which we do 534 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: content creation, and so it's become like full circle for me. 535 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: But it's been very fulfilling because I have, as I 536 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: always say, I'm I always find the smartest people to 537 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: be my partners. So they make me look they're way 538 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: smarter than they do. Right, I just get to do 539 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: my thing and they figure everything else out. And so 540 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: Lindsay and Susanne are my partners and our agency has 541 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: just grown so much. We now have thirty five managers. Wow, 542 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: over seventy talent I mean week, that's incredible. But instead 543 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: of but we're never going to have like five hundred 544 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: talents do great. We want all fifty five, each one 545 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: of those to be a badass and really excel in 546 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: their space and in very diversified spaces as well. And 547 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: that's that's how we We use your talent all the time. 548 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: By the way, we use your talent all that time. 549 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: And some the highest converters, Yeah, she said, in the world, 550 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: like people don't even know, Like you could be a 551 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: mom in Kansas and you're converting like a motherfucker, but 552 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: people don't even realize. Yeah, it's not just like you 553 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: don't have the famous a hundred person And also I 554 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: think it's it's authentic and I think that I think 555 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: there's sometimes I think the less famous you are, actually 556 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: you convert way more because you're more relatable on so 557 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: many levels. Now I want to speak about um, you know, 558 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: I do want to I do want to go back 559 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: to your beauty for one second because I want to say, like, 560 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm such a diehard fan of you beauty and light 561 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: Tina said, I mean, it's clearly a space that is 562 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: a very full space beauty. But I do think that 563 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: you beauty stands out beyond because it is so simple 564 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: and to your point, it's so interesting because you know, 565 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm such a beauty junkie, like I really am, and 566 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm not great at self care. So I think when 567 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: you say you only need these three items or these 568 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: three or four things or these two things or whatever 569 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: it is to transform your skin and it actually works, 570 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: it's like, wait, hey, but I have twenty things from 571 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: this brand that I thought I couldn't get that skin 572 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: without using all twenty of these, so I think it's incredible. 573 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: I also want to mention the arm sculpt. I just 574 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: need to point that out because your body. By the way, 575 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: Nikki and Paris are the ones that actually told me 576 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: about arm sculpt. It was not even Tina that was 577 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: like pushing product on me and they said, oh my god, 578 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: you have no idea. It's the most amazing product. It 579 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: like tightens your skin and like dadada on like arms sculpt. Okay, 580 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: I'll try it. And I decided to just put it everywhere. 581 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I'll put it on my leg everywhere, 582 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: especially her neck and chest. Well that's the thing about you, beauty. 583 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: What really drove me was to create these multi purpose, 584 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: multifunctional products that actually worked that you know, the resurfacing 585 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: compound will give you that laser resurf this glow without 586 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: the damage, but it also replaces six to eight other 587 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: things right and right when you first when people heard that, 588 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, sure Mark, thankmmick, and then they try it. 589 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: That's why, you know, when we started, we sent out 590 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand samples. We paid for shipping because I'm like, 591 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: I know, if they try it, it's like being a 592 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: joint dealer. Just give them a taste, they're going to 593 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: be up to become obsessed anybody. I treated everyone as 594 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: an influencer because I felt even if you are a 595 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: stay at home mom or a career woman, you have 596 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: five friends you'll tell you're going to listen to you, 597 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: and so yes and so we you know, like we 598 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: sold out that first three weeks when we launched because 599 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: it works, and it was just that one product, and 600 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: then we launched the super Hydrator, which has now become 601 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: like everyone Like Bella Hadi the other day told me 602 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: she told her mom about it. And then she ran out, 603 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: so she went to Yolanda's house and stole hers. She's 604 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: off on her honeymoon clutching her case of sculpt in 605 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: all her beauty. She literally got ordered a case of 606 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: each because she was going for six weeks. She was 607 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: worried she ran out of new beauty, so she ordered 608 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: a taste of echia.

We didn't 727 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: have the internet, we didn't know the cart that's true. 728 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 1: It's true. We just got in the car and drove. 729 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: We didn't even wear seat belts true. Right until the nineties, 730 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: I wore a seat belt like out of guilt. Like 731 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: I wore it because I felt like if I don't 732 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: wear it, something's going to happen, you know what I mean. Yeah, 733 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: I didn't really wear a seat belt in the beginning 734 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: that I was forced to because I didn't want to 735 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: tell my outfit. Oh it does. It honestly does crush 736 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 1: the outfit. I basically find myself going to events holding 737 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: the seatbelts the way from my body. I know that's 738 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: an issue, but I think that's why. And then I 739 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,959 Speaker 1: think it's anxiety and they're scared. My goddaughter just turned 740 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: twenty one. She finally got her license. That's so amazing. 741 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so shocked by it. Honestly. Okay, so 742 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: let me ask you this.

I 815 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: gotta feed my kid, especially now, right, and so I 816 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: so yeah, I feel that, especially being Asian. On top 817 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: of it, I've definitely, you know, been told certain things 818 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: like what you know, Asians all have great skin. So 819 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: just very dismissive from so, you know. But I think 820 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: I always stand strong in my beliefs. I'm not easily swayed, 821 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: even though I do get influenced, like if you post something, 822 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: I want to buy it, But I'm not easily influenced 823 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to things I want to date, and yeah, 824 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: I know what I want to do. And and even 825 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: if I and I'm like you know what, even if 826 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 1: it turns out to be wrong, I have a plan 827 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: b right, and also and also you are to get 828 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,919 Speaker 1: their self. You have to get the yourself. And Roger 829 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: always goes to me, why do you ask me my opinion? 830 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna do what's in your head anyway, but you're 831 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: asking ah, like me one hundred percent. I'd like to 832 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: point out that Tina and I are five days apart, 833 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: and I'm finding because I am a huge believer in 834 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: horoscopes and birth signs, and I stand by that my 835 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: virgo my fellow virgos are four September one, yeah, six days, 836 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: six days, six days. Yeah. But I mean, you know 837 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: the here's okay, So here's another interesting question, and then 838 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to let you go back to your life soon. 839 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: But so something that I don't get asked often enough 840 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: but I do speak about. So I asked you if 841 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: you felt pushback from men? Have you had pushback from women? 842 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: Because I've had tons in my current Oh yeah, I 843 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 1: feel like sometimes even worse than mon. I mean when 844 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: people talk about I'm like, you know, males are easily intimidated. 845 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: Aden if you get in their face and beat like, 846 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: people think they're like course, but females right the glass 847 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: ceiling like who's setting it's other females, which which is why. 848 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: But I think in this our new generation, our generation, 849 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: in this new era of life, I think we're really 850 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: conscious of that now. I's trying to really support a 851 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,760 Speaker 1: bit as we find our tribe right, so we so 852 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: especially with you know, what's going on. My personal life 853 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: has been really surprising. The friends who have come out 854 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: of the woodworks, and you know, people like even you 855 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: and just I'm like, oh my god, so touching. I 856 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: don't see you guys all the time, but you reach out, 857 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: how are you doing? And I love the support that 858 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 1: we have now. And I think the most important thing 859 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: is to be the friend that you want. So if 860 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: you're a person who's always getting screwed, I'm like, well, 861 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 1: are you screwing other people? Because I don't really you know, 862 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: there's going to be women who are then I just 863 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: stay away from them. I mean, you see those people 864 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 1: who push back and do the things they're like, Okay, 865 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: that's not a support. She's not she's not she's not 866 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 1: a hundred person. And I think my person, Yeah, I mean, 867 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,720 Speaker 1: I think there's nothing better than than than great women, 868 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I do think that 869 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 1: there aren't such great women. And I think that as 870 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: you get older, I think those are the things that 871 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: you have to mentally really come to terms with and 872 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: pick your people, you know, and pick your people, also 873 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,879 Speaker 1: have sympathy for them because I always feel like he's 874 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: trying to block you, like what is going on in 875 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: her life? Yeah? Yeah, and why he angry and miserable. 876 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: So I try to talk to them, and sometimes people like, 877 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: don't patronize me. I'm I'm like, I'm not patronizing. I'm 878 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 1: just trying to talk to you because I always try 879 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: to find out, like what's the problem, like what would happened? Yep, 880 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm as so are you? And I think that's why 881 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: people don't really get mad at us there. We're not 882 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: very polarizing. No, I agree. I agree. Now, okay, So 883 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: last question, what because I've been thinking about this a 884 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: lot lately, what would you have What would you have 885 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: told your nineteen year old self that you that you 886 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 1: really didn't know and you really wish you did. Stop 887 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: worrying about what others are thinking about you, because they're 888 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 1: not thinking about either're thinking about themselves. Because that's why 889 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: I lived my life like worry about you know what, 890 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: if that person knows, I'll tell myself they're not thinking 891 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: about you. They're thinking about themselves. I would have made 892 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: different decisions probably, I you know not. I have no 893 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,399 Speaker 1: regrets with where I led my life, but I would 894 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: have done a lot of things differently. Same but I right, 895 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: same one percent, one hundred percent. And I think we 896 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time doing that. And it's funny 897 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: because I speak to young people so much and they're like, 898 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: what's your best advice? Unlike, just you do you? Yes, 899 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: you do you? And I think that's not something that 900 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: you learn until you're older. But I think it's apt. 901 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: I think it really people need women that are a 902 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: bit older to say, like, trust me on this, you 903 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 1: know how like you yell at your children, not yell 904 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: at them. But like I said to Skyler the other day, 905 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: he was like, Mom, you put me in You put 906 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: me in pants and long sleeves and everybody else was 907 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: in shorts. I'm like, it was forty seven degrees and raining, 908 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: while you can out wear shorts. And he was like, 909 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: and I was like, and you said, you're shivering in 910 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: library And I was like, you're a leader, you're not 911 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: a follower. Stops like stop, stop stop. But it's hard 912 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: because I always try to tell my son, I'm like, 913 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 1: make your own decisions. So eveyone who's really little. I 914 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: remember standing at toys r us for I'm not getting 915 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: you over an hour because because he goes, mom and 916 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: you choose, and I go, no, you have to choose 917 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: your own toys. Say no. Because so I really wanted 918 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 1: to teach them to make your own choices in life. 919 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: And I still do that with him when he know, 920 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,879 Speaker 1: even just a little as things, because what are we doing. 921 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,879 Speaker 1: We're really just ready to you know, at seventeen, we're 922 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: just ready to launch them right so now. And so 923 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: I think if you start really early and you think 924 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: about and I read that when he was young, if 925 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 1: you think about launching your kids by the time they're five, 926 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: everything you'll do, the way you raise them, the way 927 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: you speak to them, it's preparing to launch them. If 928 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: you have that in your head that I'm raising this 929 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: child to launch them as adults. What if you never 930 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: want to launch them. I know that I ever want 931 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 1: to launch them, launching with them. I'm going to move 932 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: them to LA when he goes to USC and then 933 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: I'll be able to see you all the time. I'll 934 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: come over and I'll be with you, I'll borrow your 935 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: kids because I literally just hope my kids go to 936 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: school in California. And then Roger but then, you know, 937 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 1: Roger said, of course, because this is how we like, 938 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: this is this is the two of us. I go 939 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: my own and want them to go to UCLA or 940 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: USC or Berkeley or somewhere in California, and Roger goes, no, 941 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: they should go somewhere that isn't California, so they like 942 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: live life somewhere in US, And like dadda, I was like, 943 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: what what you know?

Yes, by my sweet Okay, 1038 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: bye bye Angel. So Tina Craig, I mean, you know, 1039 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: it's funny whenever I get lucky enough to interview one 1040 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,919 Speaker 1: of my like badass female friends in a one on one. 1041 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: It's so funny because you'd think that I kind of 1042 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,439 Speaker 1: know everything and I know the story and I know whatever, 1043 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 1: But I really do learn every time I speak to someone. 1044 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: And for me, I think it's important to know that, 1045 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 1: like when people are the kind of og of something, 1046 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,800 Speaker 1: there's a reason for it. It's because they didn't follow somebody. 1047 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 1: It was an idea they had, it was it was 1048 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: a dream they executed on. It was a passion that 1049 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,280 Speaker 1: they followed. And I think Tina is such an example 1050 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: of that. And she actually, like she actually initiated an 1051 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: entire movement of bloggers, fashion bloggers and beauty bloggers and influencers. 1052 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: And the fact that not only is she still doing it, 1053 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, fifteen or so years later, she has her 1054 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,959 Speaker 1: own agency, she has this incredible beauty brand, and so 1055 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 1: I just find her to be so impressive. And you know, 1056 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,840 Speaker 1: Works for Us is obviously about relationships, and as I 1057 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: mentioned on the podcast, it's I think the relationship with yourself, 1058 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: and I think us as women, that relationship with ourselves 1059 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: is probably the most challenging and yet the most important 1060 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: I think with having a successful life personally and professionally. 1061 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: So I loved that interview.
