Speaker 6: Oh, life is just you know crazy really since ever

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 6: being off the show, I always was before that. I

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 6: feel like every year something new and big happens for

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 6: me in a good way. So I just got a

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 6: lot of business dealing. I run a nonprofit. Now we

24
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 6: got my me and a couple of business partners. Also

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 6: are in commercial real estate and that's.

26
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: Been very good.

27
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 6: Oh while I still you know, continue all my regular

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 6: day to day engineering jobs.

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 5: So oh you do both things now.

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so I got to I like to automate

31
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 6: a lot of things, so it's not as much time

32
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 6: as one would really think. But yeah, no, I got

33
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 6: a lot of different responsibilities now and every year just

34
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 6: keep getting better and better. And then, of course the

35
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 6: biggest news I got engaged, you know, this year, so

36
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 6: that's been super exciting as well.

37
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the engagement. But obviously you

38
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: just mentioned a bunch of things. You're part of, Ivan

39
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: it is, you know. I hope for you that continues.

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: But you can say every year gets better and better.

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could say that. You know,

42
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: about my life necessarily, I think there's been good years

43
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: and bad years. Okay, yeah, there's been good years in

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: bad years, there's But for you, you're saying like every

45
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: year there's been something new and big, and you've kind

46
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: of been it feels like building on the good. So

47
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: let's start with the organization that you started. Uh what

48
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: is it? What?

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: Where did the passion come from? Where did it start?

50
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

51
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 6: Actually I actually didn't start it. It's it's called the

52
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 6: National Society of Black Engineers. I was part of it

53
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: in college at Texas Tech. It was a great way

54
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 6: for me to you know, get exposed to companies, learn

55
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 6: some things, mingle with other peers, you know, and then

56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 6: I kind of just wanted to you know, do something

57
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 6: more in the Dallas Fort Worth community. So for the

58
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 6: last two years, it's an elected position. It's all volunteer based.

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 6: I don't take any money for it, but we I

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 6: ran for president. I've been the president the last two years.

61
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 6: We've grown like doubled our amount of members that we have.

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 6: I think we have a few hundred members in the

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 6: Dallas Fort Worth area.

64
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 4: Now.

65
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 6: We won the national Chapter of the Year last year

66
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 6: because we are raising you know, ten times the amount

67
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 6: of money they were raising before. So yeah, we're going

68
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 6: to break a record with amount of scholarship money we

69
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 6: give out this year. We do a lot of volunteer

70
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 6: your work in the community, mentorship of college students, and

71
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 6: then also we'll get like our professional engineering professionals in

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 6: the area certifications, all types of things, so anywhere from

73
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 6: like you know, elementary school kids to you know, executives

74
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 6: at companies in the Dallasport Worth areas. So that's been

75
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 6: a good way for me to like balance, give a

76
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 6: little give a little bit back and just add some

77
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 6: more balance to my life.

78
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: So what in the mission is to kind of highlight, promote, encourage, educate.

79
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's to increase the number of you know, black

80
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 6: engineers in general. That's why we outreach the kids, and

81
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 6: then also help you know, engineers through their careers, managing them,

82
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 6: getting them, you know, appropriate guidance, just helping them in

83
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 6: certain ways.

84
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: And then also of course.

85
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 6: There's always the networking aspect of all these things as well,

86
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 6: which is a big part of it. So pretty like

87
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 6: holistic mission just to like help you know, minority engineers.

88
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: Throughout their whole career life cycle. Basically fantastic.

89
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: So can you tell us a little bit up out

90
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 5: how you met your fiance Taylor?

91
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were called sweethearts, is the easiest way to

92
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 6: put it, Gosh, So yeah, it's yeah, it's uh, it's

93
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 6: pretty funny because like some people, I think it's like

94
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 6: a newer relationship, but I've known her over ten years now,

95
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 6: so it's like she went to ut Austin, I went

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 6: to Texas Tech University. I randomly enough met her while

97
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 6: I was at an engineering convention in Austin and she

98
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 6: was just out and about in Austin, and that's how

99
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: we originally met.

100
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: She's been the only girlfriend I've ever had in my life.

101
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 6: Went our separate ways when she went to med school

102
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 6: and I went out to Florida work to work for

103
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 6: a couple of companies or a company out there, and

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 6: then kind of, you know, reconnected. She's I think, I think, Ashley,

105
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 6: you'll you'll like this. She's an anesthesia resident here in Dallas. Yeah,

106
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 6: so she's Yeah, so once she got the job back here, we.

107
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: Kind of, you know, reconnected. She works in the area.

108
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 6: She's in year three or four residency, so we're almost

109
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 6: done with that finally, and yeah, the ANSWER's from the

110
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: Frisco area, which is like a northern Dallas suburb like myself.

111
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: So a lot of similarities there. And yeah, she's great.

112
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: So then when you when she was kind of choosing

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: where she was going to do her residency, you're already

114
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: in Dallas. Did that Did you being there have a

115
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: role in her going there? Or was this just a random.

116
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 6: That's a good question, I'll say, I'd say, honestly, because

117
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: we weren't really talking too much back then, it was

118
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 6: probably more so just because she's from the area, like

119
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 6: she's from thirty minutes from the downtown Dallas area.

120
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: All her family's here, and that's kind of what brought

121
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: me back here.

122
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 6: Too, is just my family, like being close to them,

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 6: helping them out with stuff. So I'd say that was

124
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 6: probably the biggest role. But uh yeah, definitely reconnected. I

125
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 6: was a little bit after Paradise when she got her

126
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 6: job here, so reconnected. I was definitely trying to stay

127
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: single for a bit, but I kind of always in

128
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 6: the back of minds also knew, like when I first

129
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 6: met her, I was like, this, she's great wife material.

130
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 6: But I did think, and I don't know if this

131
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 6: was wrong or right. I told her I thought we

132
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 6: met too soon back in the day because I thought

133
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 6: she needed to do a little bit more life, and

134
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 6: I knew I needed to as well. So that's why

135
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 6: we were always, you know, on and off back in

136
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 6: the day as well. So we found our way back

137
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 6: to each other like we always have, and it's been

138
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 6: great ever since.

139
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: That's so amazing. I was going to ask, I was like,

140
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 5: when you were on Bachelor in Paradise in the Bachelorette,

141
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 5: were you ever like this doesn't work out, not a

142
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 5: big deal. Probably probably thinking about going back to Taylor anyway.

143
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 6: Well, to be honest, I mean Taylor, I don't know.

144
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 6: I always have a positive outlook on most of it,

145
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 6: Like I don't like lose all hope as soon as

146
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 6: it doesn't work out on the shows, I was just like,

147
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 6: I'll find the right person eventually.

148
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So that lineup thinking is always.

149
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 6: Yeah. I always try to flip it in my head

150
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 6: to be a positive real quick, so I don't have

151
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 6: to like deal.

152
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: With it as much. I'll say so exactly.

153
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: It's always nice to have something like another another something

154
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 5: in the back of your head, like another plan.

155
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you have that right now? Ashley?

156
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 6: No.

157
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: When I got married, though.

158
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 7: She's like, yeah, when you're single, though, you always like

159
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 7: have that like roster be like, Okay, I can revisit this,

160
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 7: I can revisit this.

161
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: That's so funny.

162
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: That's funny you say that because when I was single

163
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: after the show, after the Bachelor, there's a big season

164
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: of life for me where I was dating and I

165
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: had somebody that was dating consistently and she was amazing.

166
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: But before I had met her that, I was like,

167
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm out, like I think I'm single, Like I don't

168
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: have anybody wind up, I have no option.

169
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: I am done. I've gave it my all.

170
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: I even uh tell us about how you proposed her.

171
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: Obviously you said you guys were college sweethearts, you know

172
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: each other for ten years, you met when she came

173
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: back to Dallas. And then obviously the proposal was recently.

174
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how recent. Actually, yeah, it wasn't too long.

175
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 6: I mean it was in March, but yeah, and uh yeah,

176
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 6: the proposal was a was a funny one there. You know.

177
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 6: She had sent me a few rings that's like the

178
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 6: style that she liked, so I pretty much knew what

179
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 6: that was. And then one day when the mall, like

180
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 6: we kind of went into a place and I figured

181
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 6: out what her size was basically. But then I just

182
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 6: had to let it sit for a little bit and

183
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 6: so I could surprise her. Actually, so so my proposal.

184
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: The thing that I kind of caught headlines a little

185
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 6: bit was the fact that she's been eating a new car,

186
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: like she's got a really she had a really crappy

187
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 6: like old Nissan Versa from college. So I was like,

188
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 6: let me just go ahead and combine both these expenses

189
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 6: in one and just say fit And so yeah, I

190
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 6: proposed to her. It was in downtown Dallas on top

191
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 6: of this like a kind of parking garage area, which

192
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 6: worked out perfectly, had a good backdrop and stuff. And

193
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 6: then right after the engagement or the proposal, I had

194
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 6: my dad and my brother drive up her new brand

195
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: new Tesla.

196
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: So which is love due alergic.

197
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: I hope my wife does not listen to this episode.

198
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: I really do. I don't want her to hear this.

199
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 4: This is not something she needs to hear.

200
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: Through the big red bow on it too. And then

201
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: drove the tesla up. It was pretty cool.

202
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 6: And then Susie was part of the was my videographer

203
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: for it as well.

204
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 5: Actually, what made you call Susie Evans to do this?

205
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 5: She doesn't live in the in the area.

206
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 6: True, Yeah, so she Actually I've met her a couple

207
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 6: of times because she visited Dallas. I think she's friends

208
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 6: with Sierra Jackson out here, and I don't know, there

209
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 6: was time there, Like I met her twice, and I

210
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 6: know she's into the videography stuff and I like her content,

211
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 6: you know, ther reels and tiktoks she's made, so I

212
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 6: was like, oh, this would be great, and then she

213
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 6: actually suggested my photographer for it too, so I was like,

214
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 6: let's just.

215
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: All do together. Then how about that?

216
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 6: And so she did the videography and then her friend

217
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 6: did the photography and it all worked out pretty perfectly.

218
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: Really, that's cool. Yeah, that's great.

219
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: I actually, uh side note, have just really started to

220
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: dive into Susie's content because Ashley told me it was

221
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: such a great follow and I cackle like I am dying,

222
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: and some of the stuff she puts out there, she

223
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: is hilarious.

224
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: She's really good.

225
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's definitely shown her creative side for sure, and

226
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 6: I knew she had that entered too.

227
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 3: She does great content, I will say, yeah.

228
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: So then obviously you're engaged now she said, yes, have

229
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: you guys started wedding planning?

230
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 6: We've done surprisingly little wedding planning, I'll say that.

231
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's the biggest thing.

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 6: So as a resident doctor, you don't even want to

233
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 6: really know how many hours she's working per week. But yeah,

234
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 6: and honestly, for Taylor, the engagement is probably more important

235
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 6: to her, or is more important to her.

236
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: Than the wedding.

237
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 6: I think she was happier with engagement over the potential wedding,

238
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: so we'll get the wedding done eventually. I'm thinking it

239
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 6: might have to be after her residency though, so we'll

240
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 6: see how that goes. But I mean, the only thing

241
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 6: we pretty much figured out is we want to do destination,

242
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 6: and that's where it stops because we don't have anything

243
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 6: else figured out and we have no clue where or

244
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 6: anything else. But we do think we want to do

245
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 6: a destination wedding, and you know, it'll give us some

246
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 6: time anyways to plan it, so no need to stress

247
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 6: out about it.

248
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand that. She's just like, oh, I just

249
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 5: want to know this is a forever thing and now

250
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: we can just relax. Did you you guys living together?

251
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, we've been living together for a little over

252
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: a year.

253
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: I think that's going all right.

254
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, how's the dynamic because she's like literally working

255
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: in like at least sixteen hour shifts.

256
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, she Oh it's well, yeah, she's gone a lot.

257
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 6: I'll say that she's definitely gone a lot. She could

258
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 6: barely take any vacation off or whatever else. And then

259
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 6: I work from home full time, so I'm like not

260
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 6: that I'm locked in here, but like I am kind

261
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 6: of like just trapped in here all day, so I'm

262
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 6: always looking for an excuse like afterwork to like, Okay,

263
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 6: let's go to dinner, let's go whatever, a lounge or

264
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 6: something right, And then when she gets back, she's like,

265
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 6: I've seen so many people today, I just want to

266
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 6: like do nothing right. So we got to like kind

267
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 6: of figure out that that dynamic probably a little better

268
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 6: during the week at least, but during the weekends we

269
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 6: definitely love to indulge in and eat at, you know,

270
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 6: some of the nicer restaurants here, and it's one of

271
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 6: our main ways to connect. So we got we got

272
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 6: to mix it in. Like, she's thankfully off this week

273
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 6: for Thanksgiving, so this is a rarity.

274
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: So we'll just be.

275
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: Doing a lot of hanging out training the new puppy

276
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 6: pretty much. And that's it.

277
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah bad. And you want to talk to him

278
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 5: about new puppy life.

279
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it almost, you know, Jessica, I almost ended our

280
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: marriage about three months in because we got a new puppy.

281
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: Oh lord, it was hard. Now it's beautiful. Whalen's about

282
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: two years old.

283
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: He's a good dog, But that first couple of weeks

284
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: I had no clue just how wild it was, yeah,

285
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: you know it is. It's it's a grind. So tell

00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 2: us what kind of dog? What, what are you experiencing

287
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960

00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: Yeah? No, I just got a brand new ten week.

289
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,200

Speaker 8: looks fake?

294
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 5: Is that an English bulldog?

295
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: He's an English bulldog. He's about seventeen pounds. He's this

296
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: like myrtle color they call it his coat is. But

297
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: you're like the most rare color little English bulldog.

298
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: So he's cool.

299
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: He's got like little blue eyes too. I don't know

300
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: if you can kind of tell, but yeah, they're pretty sick.

301
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: So he's been good. He's very lazy. You could tell.

302
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: He's kind of chill, really chill.

303
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: So that's what I told you to get the dog.

304
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 5: I didn't know it was going to be the cutest

305
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 5: dog I've ever seen.

306
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I stied to post him. Actually I'm probably gonna

307
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: post them today. Yeah, we'll see. He's a cold.

308
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 5: Dogs are chill. Yeah, you don't have to worry about

309
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 5: him running around. You probably have to worry about him

310
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 5: wanting to good out and walk.

311
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 6: Exactly exactly, and yeah, Taylor wanted like another I don't

312
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 6: even know what type of dog it was, but I

313
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: could tell it had way too much energy.

314
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, I can't do one.

315
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 6: Of those, like because I'm the one watching it most

316
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 6: of the day, so I need something that's not gonna

317
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 6: do too much.

318
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is uh so Ivan has brought his For

319
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: anybody listening, Ivan's brought his beautiful puppy, uh onto the camera.

320
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: There. What's the name?

321
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: We call him? Roly?

322
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: Roly I mean really.

323
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: Is astutely gorgeous English bulldog, just chilling looking at the camera.

324
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: He has done nothing. I mean, the difference between Roly

325
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: and Whalen is incredible. Whalen would have been like my

326
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: dog would have been kicking and barking.

327
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, Ashley's in heaven right now.

328
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: Oh no, shared and I have been contemplating a Golden

329
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 5: Retriever or an English bulldog and.

330
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, you got to go English.

331
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 5: Oh no, I could actually probably handle that. I don't

332
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 5: if I could train the Golden Retriever.

333
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah that's a year old.

334
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: Well, take back everything I said about puppies being difficult.

335
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: Because it looks like is going to be about as

336
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: much fun and as easy as can be.

337
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, well we're still doing the training,

338
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 6: but I kind of made it up in my mind.

339
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 6: I was like, all right, these first three weeks are

340
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 6: gonna suck. Yeah, he's actually doing better than I thought

341
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 6: with you know, the whole partty training.

342
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: So it's actually been decent so far.

343
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well, congratulations. You do have a lot going

344
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: on your life, and obviously the engagement kind of is

345
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: the thing we're talking about, because you know, Bachelor Nation

346
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: is known for love and hoping to make connection. I

347
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: even just a few more questions for you. Do you

348
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: do you think going on the show for you Paradise

349
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: and the Bachelorette, do you think it it all opened

350
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: your eyes up to wanting to be with Taylor or

351
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: do you think it helped you grow as a person.

352
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: Just kind of walk us through what you've now learned

353
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: looking back at that time in your life.

354
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, it definitely may help me grow as a person.

355
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 6: It made me I already thought it was pretty introspective,

356
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 6: but you as you guys know, spending hours and hours,

357
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 6: you know, talking about how you feel, and you know

358
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: what your plans are for the future. It's like, shoot,

359
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 6: you've become even more introspective than you thought you already

360
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 6: WORRI So I that was that.

361
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: Was good for me.

362
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 6: And you know, I've never done, like, I don't know,

363
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: therapy or anything else. So like saying that to a

364
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 6: bunch of you know, random producers I don't really know,

365
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: and then other guys that I don't really know, definitely

366
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 6: made it a little bit easier for me to open up.

367
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: Especially to my closer friends.

368
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 6: I'll say, I don't do that with everybody, but like

369
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 6: my closer friends, I'll be a little bit more open

370
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: with them because there's guys like friends I knew from

371
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 6: like college, are like, dang, I never knew this about you.

372
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 6: I'm like, yep, yeah, So I think the show definitely

373
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 6: helped with that.

374
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

375
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 6: Overall, man, I love my Bachelor and Bachelor experience or

376
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: Bach in Paradise, but I experience overall, like it's been

377
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 6: pretty much nothing but just good times.

378
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,239
Speaker 3: Really a bunch of friendships.

379
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 6: I talked to my boy DeMar Noah Thomas every day.

380
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 6: We're in fantasy football. We do a bunch of stuff.

381
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 6: So it's yeah, nothing but good vibes from it. You know,

382
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 6: a lot of great opportunities, experiences and stuff. So I

383
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 6: think and then, yeah, I don't know how much I

384
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 6: would have grown without the show, really, just because it's

385
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: exposed me to so so many more things that probably

386
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 6: would have been exposed to if I hadn't gone on it.

387
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: So and I try to treat everything as a.

388
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 6: Learning experience too, So I definitely think it's made me

389
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 6: a better person and expedited my growth actually in a

390
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 6: couple of different ways.

391
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: I feel that did Taylor watch you on the show?

392
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 6: She watched Bachelorette, She definitely watched that. I don't think

393
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 6: she watched that much as Bachelor. Yeah, she didn't watch

394
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 6: that much at Bachelor in Paradise though I know she

395
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 6: saw like highlights of it and whatnot. But yeah, it

396
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 6: is like she loves watching reality TV, Love Island all

397
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 6: that other stuff too. But yeah, Bachler, Bachelorette, she doesn't

398
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 6: really care to anymore. She's got like the ick fort

399
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 6: just because I was on it kind of so.

400
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 4: She doesn't really makes sense.

401
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, like, well, like we've seen a couple episodes of

402
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 6: this paradise, but yeah, some things still throw her off,

403
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: which is kind of funny.

404
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe the Golden Bachelor.

405
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: We watched the first episode. I've don't keep.

406
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 6: I watched Paradise a little bit more a couple of times,

407
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 6: just because I still know a couple of guys out there.

408
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: So it's, you know, kind of cool to check in

409
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: to see what they got going on.

410
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is interesting to me how many really

411
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: smart people watch, like crave watching like Paradise and The

412
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: Bachelor and Bachelorette, because I think my my assumption is

413
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: all day they're being smart, and all day they're like

414
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 2: dealing with really serious stuff, and then when they get

415
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: home they're just like still human and they're just like

416
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: I just want to watch something that I don't have

417
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: to think anything about, Like this is I get to watch?

418
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're exactly right, Like she literally will come home.

419
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 6: She's like, I want to turn my brain off. Yeah,

420
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 6: it's whatever, Binge, Love Island, whatever, Real Housewives, those Potomac

421
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: and wherever else they are.

422
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 3: U tall, trust me, I I hear and see some

423
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: of it now, and I.

424
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 4: Was a lord, but I'm good.

425
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, she definitely likes doing that because when it's when

426
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 6: she's around her and her co workers.

427
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: I can't even.

428
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 6: Understand what language they're seaking honestly, sometimes like it's insane.

429
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, well it's uh, it's an incredible chapter

430
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: of life for you, Ivan, and it's it's great to

431
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: see and hear the things that you're doing.

432
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 6: Uh.

433
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: We we here really wish Taylor the best. I mean,

434
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 2: Ashley understands firsthand what it's like to go through residency

435
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 2: based on her dad doing that, and it's a grind.

436
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: We all are familiar with that, and you know, we're

437
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: hoping it finishes strong. And Ivan, just a final question

438
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: for you, Is there anything that we didn't talk about here,

439
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: anything next for you, Anything you want to clear up

440
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: that is in your future?

441
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: Man? Who knows? Man, that's I just think about this year.

442
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 6: It's like, you know, I started a whole new career

443
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 6: with the commercial real eside stuff. I got engaged and

444
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 6: gave her a car, like just so many random things.

445
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: I got a puppy. So I don't know what's next.

446
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 6: And one thing about myself is like I just know

447
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 6: I just want to keep growing every year and keep

448
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 6: exposing myself to a lot of things and figuring out

449
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 6: what I want to do in life. More and more

450
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 6: so I don't know what's next. It could be the

451
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 6: most random thing six months from now. I guarantee you

452
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: I could. That's how my life tends to go. Just

453
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 6: the most random thing pops up if I see it.

454
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 6: There's a good opportunity. I'm going to hop into that next.

455
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 6: But you know, everything for the most part's really good.

456
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 6: You know, you still everything's great, but then you know

457
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 6: there's always still the life struggles you just got to

458
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 6: push through. But my thing is, I'm just going to

459
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 6: keep getting better at every year somehow, So I just

460
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 6: got to stick to that.

461
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 5: We're doing a great job. He's been very calm and

462
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 5: tackling at all too.

463
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been exposed to quite a bit of my life,

464
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 6: so it's just not much that could rattle me anymore.

465
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's kind of wild. I've realized it's

466
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, so just.

467
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: Wait till Roley wakes up at two am, five consistent

468
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,800
