This week for five Minute Friday, 15 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: I am talking about making a few apologies, and not 16 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: just regular apologies, what I like to call later apologies, 17 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: a personal word I made up earlier this week. I 18 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: did something that meant a lot to me and I 19 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: made a as I like to call it, later apology 20 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: or a regretful acknowledgment of an offense or failure well 21 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: after the fact to be specific to a friend of mine. 22 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: We were quite close when she lived in New York City. 23 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I actually introduced her to her now husband, and earlier 24 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: this year, her and her lovely husband they had a 25 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: beautiful baby girl. And after spending some time with a 26 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: good friend of mine and her new baby, I was 27 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: thinking about this other friend and I realized that I 28 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: owed her an apology. When she had her baby back 29 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: in February, I was certainly wrapped up in my own circumstance, 30 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: wrapped up in my own chaos, and of course, although 31 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: I reached out to her when she had the baby, 32 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: I definitely didn't do or give the situation enough attention. 33 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: I didn't send a card, I didn't send a gift. 34 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: I didn't check in on her in the weeks that followed. 35 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: I just didn't do the things that I would hope 36 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: that someone that cares about me would do after I 37 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: go through such a big, big life event. And so 38 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: having recognized this, I knew I wanted to do better, 39 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: and I did better, And so I reached out. And 40 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: it started with me buying a card and a small gift. 41 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: And I'm in the area not too far from her home, 42 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: and I offered to come visit, and so I did 43 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: in a socially distance way, and I gave her the 44 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: card in a small gift bag, and of course, upon 45 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: opening it, she said, you didn't have to do this. 46 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: And in the card, I said, I'm sorry I wasn't 47 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: there for you sooner. I want you to know that 48 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm here for you now. I'm proud of you. I 49 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: feel very lucky to have you in my life, and 50 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: I want to do better going forward. And I meant 51 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: every single word of that. And now granted, as I mentioned, 52 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: although I physically showed up and brought something with me, 53 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: that's not what's important here. What's important here is, as 54 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: I called it, the later apology. The words are what 55 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: are important and now later apologies. There's something that I've 56 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: gotten into later in my life and something that I've 57 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: come to really appreciate as i've gotten older. But this concept, 58 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: really it first came on my radar last year. A 59 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: friend reached out to me to extend me a later apology. 60 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: We were super close in my early New York years. 61 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: We worked out together, we went out together, we explored 62 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: the city together, we texted constantly. It was like a 63 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: female friendship that I really, really, really valued and at 64 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: the time when we were friends, I was dating someone 65 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: that we both knew. Dating is a gracious term. I'd 66 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: say we were spending some time together. I really liked 67 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: this guy. It didn't work out, and, of course, as 68 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: girls do, when it fell apart, I went to her, 69 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: I talked to her, I confided in her, I cried 70 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: with her, I did all the things. A couple weeks later, 71 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: she let me know that the two of them were 72 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: then spending some time together. That was really hard to 73 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: deal with. It's so underst I never really talk about 74 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: my super personal life on here, but when I do, 75 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: I always have a moment of pause. And it was 76 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: almost like I had to split up with someone a friend, 77 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: and that was so much worse than splitting up with 78 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: someone that I dated. I felt like I trusted her 79 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: and she kept things from me, and because of that, 80 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I could continue our friendship at 81 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: that time when we had our separate ways. And so 82 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: this woman last April, I was totally shocked when she 83 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: reached out to me and offered me a really beautiful apology. 84 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: I won't go into the details of that apology, but 85 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: what I will say is that I definitely didn't expect it, 86 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: and I felt really grateful that she thought that it 87 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: was important, even years and years later, to say something 88 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: to me and to wreckt recognize how I may have felt, 89 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: how she made me feel at that time. After she 90 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: offered me this apology, we went our separate ways, living 91 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: our separate lives as we had been doing. And this 92 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: wasn't like a I'm going to apologize and now we're 93 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: going to be best friends situation. It was just her 94 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: doing what I would say was the right thing, and 95 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: at the time, again, it made me feel really validated. 96 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: I never thought she was a bad person. I just 97 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: thought that she did a bad thing. And I think 98 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: that's the thing about apologizing, right. It's admitting that you 99 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: did something wrong. It doesn't make you an inferior human. 100 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: It means that you're just that you're human, period. It 101 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: means that you want to express or regret for something. 102 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: You may not be proud of. Any apology no matter 103 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: when it happens. It means that you're willing for just 104 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: a moment to maybe put your ego to the side 105 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: and have a conversation and get real. Her actions they 106 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: made me evaluate my own I wondered who should I 107 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: be apologizing to in my life, and at that moment, 108 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: I actually made a list, and I've offered since many 109 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 1: heartfelt later apologies, and sometimes they go well, and sometimes 110 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: it's clear that the person on the other side is 111 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: like completely unfazed, or maybe what I feel the need 112 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: to apologize for didn't impact them as much as it 113 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: impacted me. Maybe my later apology just isn't enough. Whatever 114 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: happens in this situation, you can't be making this gesture 115 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: to want anything in return. Rather, it's just because, again, 116 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: you feel like what you're doing is the right thing 117 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: to do. And in my eyes, it's never really too 118 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: late to do the right thing. It's never too late 119 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: to have a genuine conversation, regardless of who's involved. And 120 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: I tell you this story this week because I do 121 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: feel that it's pretty relevant consider everything that's going on 122 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: in our world, between the pandemic and the fight for 123 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: racial justice. I think a lot of us are confronting 124 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: things that have happened in our past, and sometimes our 125 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: ego it prevents us from offering the words that are 126 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: so necessary that can be such a big part of progress. Right, 127 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: what I don't want to do by talking about this 128 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: is to preach that everyone should just start apologizing profusely. 129 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: That is not the answer at all. But what I 130 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: will say is, just as I have come to appreciate 131 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the art of the later apology, I also feel strongly 132 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: about not saying I'm sorry just to say it. It's 133 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: something that I, as well as many people that I know, 134 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: certainly get into the habit of. I encourage you own 135 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: your power, like you own your flaws, and own your 136 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: mistakes like you own your victories. Or remember again, it 137 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: is never too late to say that I'm sorry. You've 138 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: just got to make sure that it comes from the heart, 139 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: and you've got to make sure that it's real. So 140 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: for this week's thought prompt, I'm asking you who would 141 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: you offer a later apology too? And why? Again, who 142 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: would you offer a later apology too? And why? Highlights 143 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: of the week. As always, links to everything I talk 144 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: about here will be included in the link with the 145 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: description to this episode in the show notes. First up, 146 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: no surprise here the Michelle Obama podcast. Listening to Michelle Obama, 147 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: it honestly feels like I'm hanging out with one of 148 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: my best friends, which signifies to me that this is 149 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,359 Speaker 1: a solid podcast. It launched this week, it's a Spotify exclusive, 150 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: and it is so so, so so well done. For 151 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: episode one, surprised to no One, she sat down with Barack. 152 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: They talk about the importance of community and values, and 153 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm just so so excited to see where it goes 154 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: from here. Next up and Oldie but a Goodie making 155 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: Oprah from WBEZ. So it's been over thirty years now 156 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: since Oprah first greeted a national audience. And I was 157 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: randomly sitting in my hometown the other day at Starbucks, 158 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: drinking coffee outside naturally, and I have this thought to 159 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: myself that I didn't know much about Oprah's beginnings, which 160 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: is a totally normal thought to have to yourself while 161 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: you're sipping coffee outside of your hometown Starbucks. And so 162 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: I looked into the Apple podcast store and found this 163 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: podcast and it has a three part series about how 164 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: Oprah gotter start, and I found it so so interesting. 165 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: I listened to all almost three hours three different episodes 166 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: on my drive up to Rhode Island, where I'm spending 167 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: my week this week. And I mean, there were so 168 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: many things in this three part series that were super fascinating, 169 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: but I love listening learning about what they called the 170 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Oprah effect, which is basically, I mean kind of what 171 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: influencers I think do today, which is when whenever Oprah 172 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: would talk about a product or a thing on our show, 173 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: it would instantly sell out almost everywhere. So it's just 174 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: so interesting to see how much influence one person can 175 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: have and just how hard she worked despite so many 176 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: odds being against her to get to where she is today. 177 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: Ten out of ten would recommend next highlight of the 178 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: week this cheeseburger chopped salad with dill pickle vinaigrette from 179 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: How Sweet Eats. I've never included a recipe in my highlights, 180 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: but I've been doing so much cooking in this full 181 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: sized kitchen up here in this home, and it has 182 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: been Oh, it's been so nice to have some space. Anyway, 183 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: I've been following this blogger, Jessica Merchant for years and years. 184 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: She's probably the first blogger I ever followed, right when 185 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: I was fresh out of college, and I love her style. 186 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: Every single recipe I've ever tried from her has been remarkable. 187 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: And I found this one when I was looking for 188 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: some sort of burger salad last week. What I love 189 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: about it, aside from how good the dil vinaigrette is, 190 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: is that it's not like you're putting a burger patty 191 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: in the salad. It's just the ground meat and it 192 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: just all mixes together perfectly, and it's just the perfect 193 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: summer thing. Next up, details on my cycling kit. This 194 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: week for Hurdle Moment, I talked up some more lessons 195 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: I've learned on the bike, and in response, I got 196 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: a lot of inquiries asking me about the gear that 197 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm using on the regular to get out there. So 198 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: details on that. My typical kit in clues and kit 199 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: is like a fancy word for cyclers where they talk 200 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: about what they wear my lu Lemon City to Summit 201 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: Cycling Jersey, my lu Lemon City to Summit Cycling short 202 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: bombas cycling socks and a helmet and shoes from Specialized 203 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: and that's the whole thing. All the details again to 204 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: all of those items, links, et cetera will be in 205 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: the show notes. One thing I will say about cycling 206 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: gear is that it definitely gets to be expensive, but 207 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: you have to think about how much use you're going 208 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: to be getting out of these items. If I only 209 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: every single day reached into my closet and picked the 210 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: exact same sneakers to go running in, I would certainly 211 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: certainly spend more money on them. And so that's just 212 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: kind of something to think about and wrap your head 213 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: around when it comes to looking at the cost of 214 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: a lot of these items. And last, but not least, 215 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: I have a big win or do announce The winner 216 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: for this week's Whoop giveaway is Jen Butler.
