Speaker 3: That's all I Do, That's all you got.

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: I'm a health coach and author and recently the founder

67
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: of a charity as well.

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: What charity.

69
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: We started a charity about two months ago. We're in

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: the process of becoming an official NGO. There's a lot

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: of paperwork. It's called Freedom to Flow. It's a program

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: where we are focused on bringing the practice of the

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: breath and the teachings of yoga to underserved communities. So

74
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: what that looks like right now is we've partnered with

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 5: a couple of schools in the Lower East Side in

76
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: New York City and are teaching yoga to the kids

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 5: three days a week, and it's an opportunity for them

78
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: to understand the breath, get in touch with their bodies,

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 5: and have it through a time where there's a lot

80
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 5: of change, there can be a lot of turmoil in

81
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: the future. That will look like partnering with shelters, domestic

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: abuse survivors and anyone else who really is just in

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: need of kind of a little bit of me time

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: and connection.

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

86
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks, congrats.

87
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: Thank you.

88
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: I feel like it's really special when you get into

89
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: a position where you're building a company and you take

90
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: the time to sidestep and do something for others because

91
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: that side step is just so critical, and a lot

92
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: of people don't necessarily take that time.

93
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: So I find it's really special. Yeah.

94
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we have a lot of yoga teachers

95
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 5: and we always hear such amazing stories from our clients

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 5: about how yoga has changed their lives or made an impact.

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 5: And I was speaking at a school to a group

98
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 5: of second graders and my opening was like, who here

99
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 5: knows what yoga is? And I had a little boy

100
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 5: raised his hand and look at me, and I was

101
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: like yeah. I was like, okay, I can tell me.

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 5: He goes, I do my yoga breathing so I don't

103
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: punch my brother in the face. And I was like

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: that's fair. I was like fair, But like also for me,

105
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: that was such a real life application of what the

106
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: yoga breath can do for you in moments of frustration

107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 5: or stress, or when you want to lash out physically

108
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 5: or vocally. For a second grader to sit down and

109
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 5: take a breath and be like like okay, Like if

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: everybody can do that, and we can give a little

111
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: bit of that to people. Then I think that, you know,

112
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: hopefully we're making a little bit of a difference.

113
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends that could benefit from that.

114
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: Second I could I could benefit from that same same

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: all right. I fun fact, you guys actually have a

116
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: lot in common, and I don't think you know this.

117
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: So the both of you were pursuing very different careers

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: before you decided to pursue a career and fitness. So, Nachelle,

119
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: what were you doing before twenty eleven, because it definitely

120
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: let me tell you, I took Michelle's class this weekend.

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: It was easy. It's fine. Oh man.

122
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: She well, first of all, she wasn't even on the bike.

123
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: It was full the bike. She gave up the bike

124
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: to somebody else that which is fine. It wasn't like

125
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: she just decided she was gonna stand there.

126
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, shen't watch it all.

127
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: But Michelle, what were you doing before you got involved

128
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: involved with cycle house in twenty eleven?

129
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: Well, I was an actor, so I have my master's

130
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: in acting from NYU. I moved to Los Angeles and

131
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: because my bleefriend at the time was on a TV

132
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: show here and that's what I was doing. And then

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: the strike came at the end of two thousand and eight,

134
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: and every job I had got canceled. That's when every

135
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: show got canceled. They were like rapidly putting things into

136
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: the can. And I was like, oh, because you know,

137
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: you think that you're going in this direction. So like

138
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: I wasn't saving money, I wasn't doing all of the

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: responsible things. Like I was young and had tom and

140
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: was working and that was all great and easy, and

141
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: then you know, everything changed and.

142
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: I was at the gym.

143
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: I was actually at Crunch up the street from here,

144
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: and because I came from New York so that you know,

145
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: you remember a Crunch. I was like before Equinox was

146
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: the thing, like I'm old.

147
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: It's so I.

148
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: Was at Crunch and I'm not kidding, like maybe a

149
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: week or two later, like I always say, like trust

150
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: the timing of your life, or like follow the yellow

151
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: brick road. I was at the gym. It was a

152
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: Sunday morning, and the manager Crunch ran into the room.

153
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: It was like a couple of minutes after class was

154
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: supposed to start.

155
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: I didn't see the teacher.

156
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: I didn't think anything of it, and I was really stressed.

157
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: I was like, what am I going to do for money.

158
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: I started waiting tables at the Chattel Vermont, like literally

159
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: like for special events only, and.

160
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, I'm gonna pay my rent.

161
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: And the manager of the gym ran in and was like, hey,

162
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: do you know where the teacher is? You know, since

163
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: the teacher's aim And I was said no, like we

164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: were friends, but I don't know where he is.

165
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: And he was like, oh, okay, cool. He was like,

166
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: teach this class right now.

167
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: And that's exactly what I said, and I was like what.

168
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: And then he's like he's like I'm not kidding.

169
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: Like I don't know where he is and I need

170
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: you to teach this class right now. Because he was

171
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: always seeing me at the like unemployed model actor hour,

172
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: so like we knew each other. And and my friend,

173
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 4: this teacher was even older than I was.

174
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: She's like, I have one of his CDs.

175
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: Yes it was one, and she went in her car

176
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: and got it and I taught the class.

177
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: And then two and a half.

178
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: Years later or less, I was lucky enough to be

179
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: to have psychlass.

180
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.

181
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: I mean I had a brief stint in fitness like

182
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: teaching group fitness that I was a spind instructor in

183
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: New York.

184
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: I forgot about that, right, I.

185
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: Went, I'm okay, I think there's feeling in here. That

186
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: took my class. Sally took my class. I was a

187
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: great spinning instructor.

188
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: I was a great spin about it.

189
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: As of now, I'm staying on the East coast, So

190
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: let me know about that cycle New York.

191
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: Let's just say, keep your eyes open very very very

192
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 4: very very very soon.

193
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: I like to hear those things. And yes, Lisa, your

194
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: membership is transferable, all right.

195
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: So I was a spin instructor briefly in New York,

196
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: and briefly like a year and over that, I mean,

197
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: I trained for like two months at least. So this idea,

198
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: get up on this bike and tell people what to do.

199
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: Like I know, as someone who's never taught, you have

200
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: this impression probably that like, man, that's.

201
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: Got to be so easy.

202
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: Like you're just on the bike and you're like bopping around,

203
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: you're in a good mood and like making everybody happy.

204
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: And you get up there and you're like, that is

205
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: not the way. So kudos to you.

206
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 5: Sometimes, but you choose you right.

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: Oh, you must have liked it.

208
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: You must have felt felt like you didn't for better

209
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: or for lack of a better term like ff f

210
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: up enough that you were.

211
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: Like, right, yeah, I could do this.

212
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: I think even the point of like the podcast right,

213
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 4: like hurdles sometimes when you just sort of jump into

214
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: something and I have been feeling and this is no

215
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: knock against like a career, like I still act when

216
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: there's time in X, Y and Z, but for me,

217
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: I had started to feel like my energy was sort

218
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: of being wasted. I'm sure as we were actors here,

219
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: you spent a lot of time in a honeywagon waiting

220
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: for somebody to say your name, and like you just

221
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: kind of sit there a lot, like a lot more

222
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: than you thought you would. You think that you're just

223
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: gonna be there in action doing things. And I was

224
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: starting to feel a little himmed in or a little

225
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 4: sort of suffocated by this idea of like I felt

226
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: like I had more to give that wasn't necessarily being

227
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: utilized with what I was given. So I feel like

228
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: this thing kind of came into my life that sort

229
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: of all the things that I wanted to do as

230
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: an actor, like interact with people, like have an opportunity

231
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 4: to like show them like away or like any this

232
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: this thing, I can't really put my finger on it,

233
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 4: but I was feeling like I had more to give

234
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: in the sense of being able to interact with humans

235
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: on a person a person level, like right here me

236
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: and you fitness and falling into that it was just

237
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: for me, just a hand in the glove.

238
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: It's the best, Oh, hand in the glove? What a phrase?

239
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: I just made that up?

240
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: Wasn't how did it work? I'm gonna work on that,

241
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: Like for yeah, I was into that. And and Sarah,

242
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: you were working in fashion. Now you're not working okay,

243
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 3: so tell me about that transition for you. You're working

244
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: in fashion, and what sparked you to decide that you

245
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: should do some yoga in the dark to hip hop.

246
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 5: I actually pinched my psiatic nerve in twenty eleven and

247
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: didn't walk for a week and was like not able

248
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: to really do any thing cardio, why anything that had

249
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 5: any sort of impact. So yoga was really like the

250
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 5: only option. So I started going to studios and I

251
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 5: hated it. I hated every class I went to. I

252
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 5: was so confused. I felt immediately on the outside of

253
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: something that felt very exclusive. I felt like I never

254
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: knew what was going on in the class. Like you know,

255
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 5: some teachers you know I and you know, to each

256
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: everyone's own. But I eat meat. I eat cheese, and

257
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: that's just part of my life. And like if you know,

258
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: in a class when we're supposed to be, you know,

259
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 5: trying to be our best selves and someone tells you

260
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 5: that you're going to hell because you eat bake and

261
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 5: you're like, okay, I have to go. It's you know,

262
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 5: it's it feels like it felt me like a very

263
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: exclusive thing that I wasn't necessarily always welcome in. So

264
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 5: after probably like six months of really just not finding

265
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: any studio where I felt at home, that was really

266
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: the point where I was like, okay, we held to

267
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 5: pop up for a weekend just for fun. And that

268
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 5: turned into somebody asking for UH to buy a package,

269
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 5: which turned into me lying that we had a space

270
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 5: and we were just under construction, which in turn turned

271
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 5: into us actually finding a space, and we grew really

272
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 5: organically from there. And the whole concept is is that

273
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 5: there's no mirrors, it's dark and candle it and we

274
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: move with the breath to the beat of the music.

275
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 5: So it's the music is it's fun. It's meant to

276
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 5: be a distraction for you during those really tough moments

277
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 5: in class, because unlike a lot of other amazing workouts,

278
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 5: with yoga, it's just you. There is no resistance, there

279
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 5: are no weights, there is not one more rep It

280
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 5: is you holding that plank, and it really is eighty

281
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 5: percent mental. So for me, I was always kind of

282
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: like during the silence, I was like, I can't do this,

283
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: and it was a lot of like negative self talk

284
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 5: to myself. And with the music, you kind of like

285
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 5: you really do lose yourself in it, and it becomes

286
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: so much easier to do the things that you thought

287
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: you couldn't do. To answer your question, sorry, I ramble

288
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: so much. I apologized.

289
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: No, I thought you were good. Okay, thanks.

290
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's really why seven and I just I'm

291
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: we I worked full time. I worked in my career

292
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: for the first two years of.

293
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Y seven And then what were you doing at the time?

294
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: Oh so, I was an account executive at a multi

295
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: line showroom. I howked clothes, to put it plainly, I

296
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: was traveling a lot. I was at all the trade

297
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 5: shows I had. My accounts were those like shopop I

298
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 5: did all the private label for urban outputters anthropology for

299
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 5: anyone who works in fashion, and it was great. I actually,

300
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 5: like was not someone who was super unhappy in my job.

301
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: Like it was great. It's what I wanted to do.

302
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: I was having a lot of fun. But it became

303
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 5: really apparent after we opened the third studio that this

304
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 5: was a thing and could be a real business. So

305
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: I made this decision to leave my job in March

306
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: of twenty fifteen, and my husband left six months after

307
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: to assist because I'm not good with numbers or real estate,

308
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 5: and that was a large part of the business, and

309
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: that was it. It was more so of a mindset

310
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: of like, I can always go back. You know, fashion

311
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: is one of those businesses that has yet to adapt

312
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: to all the technology that we have, so you know,

313
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: it's really all about your relationship. So I knew that

314
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: I could go back if it didn't work out, and

315
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: you know, I just knew we had to kind of

316
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 5: give it a try.

317
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: So the second thing you guys have in common is

318
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: that both of you, through your journeys in fitness, have worked.

319
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: With your family.

320
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: So you started Y seven with your husband and until recently,

321
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: correct me, if I'm wrong. He recently left the company.

322
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: He's left the company.

323
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 5: He is gone.

324
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: He is purely as you left her life.

325
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: But he left the company, is purely a shareholder. He

326
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: had enough of me all the time, and he now

327
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 5: has his own company. I mean, I guess that's a secret.

328
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: But you know, he just raised a really big round.

329
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 5: So he's doing something that's exciting.

330
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's exciting when Sarah.

331
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: So if for those of you that might be in

332
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: the room that are new to Hurdle, Sarah and I

333
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: have sat down for her own episode, it's uh, it's

334
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: on there.

335
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: You can check it out.

336
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: And in Sarah's Hurdle episode, she talks about how it

337
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: was really difficult for her and her.

338
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: Husband to build this business together.

339
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 5: We're on the train to divorce court.

340
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: That's the very off the line from that on the train.

341
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: I got a lot of texts about that line.

342
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 5: Oh, on the train to divorce court. Sometimes we'd hop off,

343
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 5: maybe we'd a layover. We don't know, we're I'm you know,

344
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: we're off right now, we're.

345
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: Off the train.

346
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 5: We're off the train. But it's very very hard. I

347
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: wouldn't recommend it.

348
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: But I feel like, I mean this social media from

349
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: the outside looking in, it looks like you guys are

350
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 3: having a great time lately.

351
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's so much more fun now he's

352
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 5: not there. It becomes this weird thing of like my

353
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: office is and I'm very very proud of this. My

354
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 5: entire executive team is female. Like the growth that we've

355
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: had that fueled the ink cover was all due to

356
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 5: entirely women, and I'm really really proud of that. My

357
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: finance director, my head of ops, like, are all females

358
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: jobs that you know, have been traditionally held by men,

359
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 5: Which is fine. It's just a male dominated industry and

360
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 5: I'm very very proud to have two very capable women

361
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 5: in those positions driving that portion of the business, you know,

362
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: But it'd be one of those things where I'm so

363
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 5: sorry to all the men here. This is not a

364
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 5: dig at you guys at all. But you know, he's

365
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 5: not a great emailer. It's like he would email have

366
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: been so much worse, like he just like I know,

367
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 5: but like this was the thing that like got everybody.

368
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 5: Like in the subject line of the email, he goes,

369
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 5: what the fuck happened at Flatiron this morning? Like at

370
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: seven am? Like no, good morning, No hey, how are

371
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 5: you saw that there was no inside like there's no

372
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 5: you know, little pleasantries that we that we as people

373
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 5: really appreciate when you first open your eyeballs in the morning.

374
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 5: And that was really hard because you know, they'd come

375
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 5: to me, as you know, a fellow woman and be

376
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: like hey, like you know, Mason made me really upset,

377
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 5: and I would have to come to him and his

378
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 5: wife and kind of like slap him on the wrist

379
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 5: like that is not fun to hear from like your person,

380
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 5: Like no one wants to have sex with that, Like

381
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 5: it's just like not like it was just like not

382
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 5: you know, and that'd become a fight about like well

383
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 5: sometimes you know you're short with me, and it's like

384
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, this.

385
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: Just became an explicit episode.

386
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 5: So I'm so sorry.

387
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: That's like that that's just like literally gonna be an

388
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: e next to it, and I'm so sorry.

389
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: I'm a very sorry zero zero filter. I apologize you

390
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 5: should have worn I think, but.

391
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: I think your candid nature is really important. But that's like,

392
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: that's like that, it speaks to what it's like to

393
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: build a business with your partner.

394
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 5: It's the truest I mean imagine it's the like the

395
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 5: truest form of everything. Like imagine being at home and

396
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 5: you know, you know, in an intimate moment and looking

397
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 5: at the person being like did you send that email?

398
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 5: And like your heart drops, You're like, holy shit, did

399
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: you do that? And then it's like why, why why,

400
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: and it just like flies out of your mouth and

401
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: you're like, I'm so.

402
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, and oh, you

403
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: work with your brother.

404
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 4: I do.

405
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: Not the same type of dynamics, totally different because we

406
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: don't know.

407
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: This, but I don't want to go there.

408
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no lawyers here, right, Okay, that's okay,

409
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: you got a cycle.

410
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: I'll say it on it now.

411
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 4: It was really my brother and I were always super close.

412
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 4: I'm his older sister, and when he moved to LA

413
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: he and he was an athlete, so it kind of

414
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: went hand in hand. Like we started cycling because my

415
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: dad was an avid cycler.

416
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: That's how I started doing it at first to work out.

417
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: My brother when he moved here was right when I

418
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 4: started teaching and he was taking my classes.

419
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: He got memberships at all the places.

420
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 4: So when I was lucky enough to have these now

421
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: probably very annoyed that they made that decision. Owners come

422
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 4: and give me their business and have me be like

423
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: the phase of it and created and create all the programs.

424
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: The first thing that I did was I just turned

425
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: and looked at my brother.

426
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: I was like, are you ready? And he was like,

427
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm ready.

428
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: And so for me, it's been really great, except for

429
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 4: when he dates the writers.

430
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: So I'll talk about that.

431
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: Is there a policy?

432
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: I'm not there. Do you have a policy on that?

433
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: I mean, is there a policy anywhere? Everybody there? At work?

434
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: How many people have met someone like?

435
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 4: How often if you ever dated someone that you worked

436
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: with in some capacity?

437
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: Raging in never ever? Right, It's like, yeah, and are

438
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: you sure? But did you have a crush on someone you.

439
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: I'm different because I'm a female, So I don't need

440
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: to do that in a sense, like if that should happen,

441
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: like I think that like you're saying, like I think

442
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 4: women handle things a little bit differently.

443
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: You're like, so here's what's gonna happen.

444
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: We're gonna date, so you can never come here again,

445
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 4: or like you have to take a three month break

446
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 4: and then when we're dating, you're coming in.

447
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: It's free. So then if we break up, you can

448
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: never come again, and it's school.

449
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're flagged and they're flagged on my body.

450
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 5: They're never allowed back.

451
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: Right, not allowed exactly.

452
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: Whereas like guys, especially like you know, six foot six, young,

453
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 4: like you know.

454
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: Hello, are like no problem. They're like, no, it's a problem.

455
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: So it's sticky. Has it brought you guys closer together? Oh?

456
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 4: We were always like loose, but for sure because I

457
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: am older them, so you definitely we at like time apart,

458
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: but for sure.

459
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: We're like people think we're twins. That don't. People either

460
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 2: think we're married or twins.

461
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 5: It's really gross.

462
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: We're like mister and missus hines. We just want to

463
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: hear up with our parents. And they're like, oh there's

464
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 2: been a mistake.

465
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: They said you need two beds. We're like, we need

466
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: too beds. I'm not a mistake, nott a mistake. So

467
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: but it is, I mean, he is my best friend,

468
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: and it does definitely bring us closer together. It's great

469
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 4: because we're both so ultra competitive, so it's great to

470
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: have like your number one competition be like related to

471
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: you because there's a different layer. It's never like a

472
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: real fight. It's not real anger, Like it's just like

473
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna beat you.

474
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: What was your numbers?

475
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 4: Oh?

476
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: Really?

477
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 4: Because I did that at ten o'clock in the middle

478
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 4: of the day. You did that at seven o'clock. Where

479
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 4: people at jobs who are like so, I think that's

480
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: a great thing about it. And we are partners so

481
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: we can sort of criticize each other when necessary. We

482
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 4: speak a language so like things definitely do help. And

483
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 4: also because like I don't have to have that experience.

484
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 6: You know, it's better, it's it's it's definitely better.

485
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then it is hard where you do it

486
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: that have the tough conversations like you cannot date girls here,

487
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: this is getting out of hand, you know, like that that.

488
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 3: Really annunciate that is problematic.

489
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hello, yeah, you know, and it's.

490
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 4: Just like why so there are like certain times of

491
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 4: things like that, but generally speaking, in terms of getting

492
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 4: things done, needing things done, it's really nice to have

493
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: that person, which I'm sure you thought this way without

494
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: the other side, your teammate, that person that you know

495
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 4: has your back. And also because we are so competitive,

496
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 4: we are so diligent. Our goal is to make cycle

497
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 4: House the best that it can possibly be and to

498
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 4: know that you have someone in that and it's not

499
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: about the money, and it's not about anything other than

500
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 4: creating this experience that people can come in and have

501
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 4: and share and enjoy, and how can we make it better,

502
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: how can we improve it? And to have someone that's

503
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: on your same wavelength, because I think a really big

504
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: problem business that.

505
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: You find and I'm sure all of you find this

506
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 2: in your job.

507
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 4: If you really really care about your job, there's somebody

508
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: there who doesn't care, like they don't care, And it's

509
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 4: really hard when it's the person right next to you

510
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: that doesn't care, and it's how do you get through that?

511
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 4: How do you speak the same language so you can

512
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: grow together and stronger and better and greater. So it's

513
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 4: really nice to have someone that our goal is to

514
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 4: make it the best that it can possibly be, and

515
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: our competition is not about beating it.

516
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: Well, it is about beating each other, but.

517
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 4: You know that it's about beating each other in the

518
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 4: interest of like making this business grow.

519
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: And I think that that kind of has been.

520
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: A bit of the special sauce of what Cycle House

521
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 4: has been able to become. They know, like Lenda knows,

522
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: something goes wrong. She can call me, she can come

523
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: to me or Aaron or any of these people Erica.

524
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 4: They can come and they know that there's someone there

525
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: that actually cares, and there's more than one, and that

526
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: the objective here is to create an experience that makes

527
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 4: you want to come back over and over and we're

528
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 4: going to know that you're saying you're heard, you're listened to,

529
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 4: and we want to help you. Three locations now, three

530
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: locations now, I'm gonna be a lot more real, souit.

531
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm just checking that I'm on the same page. I

532
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: just want the people at home to know what they're

533
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 3: getting into. Can I say that there's gonna be I

534
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 3: don't know.

535
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: This is up to you. I spoiler to say.

536
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: That there's gonna be like twelve before my birthday in June.

537
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: Are they all gonna be in California? They are not. Ooh,

538
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: I love spoilers like that.

539
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So obviously you're talking about some good interactions in

540
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: your business. You're talking about some bad interactions in your business,

541
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: either good or bad. Thinking about your experience maybe over

542
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: I guess since the time you started your company, you

543
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 3: started with cycle House, is there any particular interaction or

544
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: a story you love to tell about your experience with

545
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 3: someone that's coming into your specific studio.

546
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: I think I know yours, which is really funny. So Sarah,

547
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you.

548
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 5: You can all read it on yell if you'd like.

549
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 5: So for the first uh six studios, I managed all

550
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: of them. For anyone who, Yeah, for anyone who well, yeah,

551
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 5: it was just me and my Yeah. I don't know,

552
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 5: we'll find well, I guess we'll find out.

553
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: I got it. We're still working out.

554
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 5: We'll ask my therapist later. And this was, you know,

555
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 5: on a time when we are maybe on the express

556
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 5: train to divorce court. But I do love my husband.

557
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 5: If he's listening, I'm so sorry.

558
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: I do.

559
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 5: I do love him, And like it is the same

560
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: thing like Michelle said, like it is, like it's really

561
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 5: nice knowing that like even though you have your like

562
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 5: tiny little like family squabbles, like you can kind of

563
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 5: get away with saying anything to them where you can't

564
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 5: really do that to like an actual coworker, Like you

565
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: know that, Like you can say anything to like a

566
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 5: family member and you're like sorry five minutes later and

567
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 5: they're like we're still related. Yeah, And it's like you're

568
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: or it's like it's fine, it's like, I know, you're

569
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 5: just hungry, like one of those things. So like truly,

570
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 5: like that really is the best thing, and that's the

571
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 5: reason we were able to like really cultivate such an

572
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: incredible community. And he actually had my back on this

573
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: particular instance.

574
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: Let's hear the yelp and said, oh, this is.

575
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 5: A good one. It's still there. It's so amazing, and

576
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 5: we leave it up there. So you know, our front

577
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 5: desk now never forgets that. I too, get yelled at

578
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 5: by clients. I was checking in clients at SOHO. A

579
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 5: girl came in ten minutes late. For any of you

580
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 5: who have ever been come to a Y seven class

581
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 5: or been denied into one, it is because it is

582
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 5: dark and it is kind of a safety thing, especially

583
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 5: when you know you have people starting class laying on

584
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 5: the floor. Not exactly great. So she came ten minutes

585
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: late and proceeded to scream at me for about five minutes,

586
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 5: calling me all sorts of names. I I won't go

587
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 5: into all of those, but I guess, and you know,

588
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 5: I tried my best to just kind of like sit

589
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 5: back and listen to what she had to say, and

590
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: I wrote her an email after, you know, after she

591
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: had left me, like, listen, I'm I'm really sorry we

592
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 5: weren't able to let you into class, like I put

593
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 5: you know, a class in your account to make up

594
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 5: for this, you know, please, just do you understand that

595
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 5: this really is a you know, a respect thing. To

596
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 5: respect the other clients who are already well into their class,

597
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 5: to respect the teacher, and it is a safety issue

598
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 5: for us as well. She proceeded to write me a

599
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 5: novel and didn't mention me once. Instead talked about her

600
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 5: day and ended with and it's raining outside. Okay, fair,

601
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 5: I wrote back, ups, I can understand regardless, you know.

602
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 5: It really ended with I will never come back. I

603
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: will never give you money. I was like, okay, I

604
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 5: totally understand, but regardless, if you'd like to come, the

605
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 5: class are in your account. She proceeded to write me

606
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 5: right y'all review about the studio, which at the end

607
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: called me an asshole, among other things. My sweet darling

608
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 5: husband responded that asshole is my wife, and it's still there,

609
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 5: and I think it's really funny now. I was very

610
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: upset at the time, and what do you know, three

611
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 5: weeks later, I'm checking in Brooklyn and who walks in

612
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 5: the door using her class that I had given her.

613
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 5: I did this, Hi, Rachel, Hell, are you so nice

614
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 5: to see you again? Do you need maton towel today?

615
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: That's all?

616
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: Smile, large smile.

617
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So what was that? But what did that?

618
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: I would say, bad interaction?

619
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: It was you.

620
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 5: It was a very like obviously upsetting reaction to me.

621
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 5: At the times we were a young business. This was,

622
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: you know, a year and a half and I was working,

623
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: I was opening the studios, working all day, coming back

624
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 5: and it was the last class of the day, and

625
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: it was obviously not a great way to end my day.

626
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 5: And I think when you start a business or starting

627
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 5: anything new, every little comment really hits you and you

628
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 5: take it really personally. And what that taught me is

629
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: like this one girl and her opinion a her email

630
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: to me had nothing to do with me or how

631
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 5: I handled the situation or the studio's policy. It had

632
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: had everything to do with how awful her day was.

633
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 5: And being not one person is not going to make

634
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 5: her break your business. And it's really kind of formed

635
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 5: how we train our front desk in our employees. When

636
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 5: someone comes in and they're upset because they can't get

637
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 5: in or you know, they accidentally canceled or whatever it

638
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: may be. What we do is listen because ninety nine

639
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 5: percent of the time these people just want to be heard.

640
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: Empathy as ever, y just want to be heard.

641
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 5: And you know, we're lucky enough now that you know,

642
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 5: if we do have to have tough conversations with clients,

643
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 5: be like hey, like one of my front desk got

644
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 5: a tissue box throw on at her the other day

645
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 5: and my director of ops called this client was like, listen,

646
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 5: that was completely uncalled for. You are not welcome back here.

647
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: You may not treat other people like that, regardless of

648
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 5: where you're at. And the woman on the line just

649
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 5: like broke down crying, was like, I am so sorry,

650
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 5: Like it had nothing to do with your staff, with anything.

651
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 5: She was like, it was about me. And ninety nine

652
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 5: percent of the time when we have to have those conversations,

653
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 5: you know, the client or whoever it is will be

654
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 5: like I'm sorry, like I did not. You know, they're

655
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 5: taking out anger from another place and just really need

656
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 5: to kind of sit and be heard. And at the

657
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 5: end of the conversation it's always a thank you for listening.

658
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 5: To me, and that's like the biggest takeaway I could

659
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: take away. Sorry, that was really bad speaking bad bad

660
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: English over here, but that was you know, the biggest

661
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 5: takeaway for me is that this had nothing to do

662
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 5: with me, and you know, realizing that you're a really

663
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: small part and kind of a bigger picture, and that

664
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: she was upset enough to like make a big deal

665
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 5: about it. That meant that that class meant something to her,

666
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 5: which is also kind of a cool thing to realize that,

667
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 5: you know, making a workout class or having experience in

668
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: a class is really what is going to turn around

669
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 5: somebody's deck totally.

670
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: I sat down with the CEO and president of tender

671
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: Greens today.

672
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: Her name is Danielle Bruno.

673
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: Spoiler alert coming to Hurtle soon and why they just

674
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: came to New York?

675
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: Did you know that who the kinder Green?

676
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: I know, I'm very going to be more of them.

677
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: Spoiler.

678
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: We're just breaking everythan out tonight, breaking it down. So

679
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: when I sat down with her today, we were talking

680
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 3: about this idea that some businesses say that the customer

681
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: is always right, but she said, that's not the mentality

682
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: that I work with my staff or the people that

683
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: worked for tender Greens. What we talk about is that

684
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: if you work with a staff and train a staff

685
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: on how to be empathetic and how to really respect

686
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: your values. Your values are what's important. If you're working

687
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: with people that respect your values and know what you

688
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 3: care about, then you're not gonna have to worry about

689
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: quote unquote the customer being right because they're going to

690
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: know how to react and handle any situation. So I

691
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: thought that was a really good a really good takeaway. Okay,

692
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: good or bad? Although I feel like you say things

693
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: like that and the bad things stand out immediately, but

694
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: good or bad is your should try to find a

695
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: good I mean, if you got one.

696
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 4: I have a really creepy bed that probably is not

697
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: one that I I mean, I want to share because

698
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 4: it's funny, but like we shouldn't talk about that.

699
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that after the podcast.

700
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 5: B Roll b Roll.

701
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: We'll be here for an extra hour talking about it.

702
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't a story, but no one needs to hear it. Good.

703
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: You know, one day I got a letter and this

704
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: is like some of the good and this is what

705
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: I always try to tell like my staff when we're

706
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 4: training them, and I think so often you can kind

707
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: of get in this rat race and this wheel. And

708
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 4: I think that this story sort of applies to everything.

709
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 4: I really try to make every single class, even the

710
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: music is like similar that maybe like seven of the

711
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 4: eight songs that you heard before. Like every experience, it's

712
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 4: never gonna be the same sixty three people in that

713
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 4: room at the same exact time, in the same exact day.

714
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: I just need to tell you your hip hop was on point.

715
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: The other guy, thank you, Van, I love I mean

716
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 3: you respect a good hip hop obviously. I as someone

717
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: who taught spin briefly, when you walk into a spin

718
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: class and there's hip hop, it's.

719
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 2: A special class. You guys.

720
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: A lot of the time it's like trap music of

721
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 3: the draw and it's so, no, you did great anyway,

722
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 3: can take your class is great, but go to an

723
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: Achell's class.

724
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 4: So one of the goods. So I think sometimes you

725
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: get in the wheel. But one thing, and I think

726
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 4: this is the great thing that like being an actor

727
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 4: taught me of having to do like eight shows a

728
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 4: week and all those things.

729
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: Every single experience is different. You might be saying.

730
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 4: Similar words or doing a similar thing, or you think

731
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 4: you're going to the office every single day, but you're

732
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: impacting people in a different way every single day.

733
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: And that's what I constantly.

734
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 4: Try to teach my staff, like, don't ever take this

735
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: her grants at these moments like this is like before

736
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 4: you know you guys go to work, like this is

737
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 4: the moment that sets the tone for your entire day.

738
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: So one day, it was like a kind of gloomy

739
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: day in LA and everyone's depressed because we don't have

740
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: to deal with that. And someone that like got me

741
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 4: a coffee, which is a really bad deal. Like they

742
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: all had a conversation like don't give her coffee because

743
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 4: I don't drink coffee, so if I do, it's like

744
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 4: like this's really bad. And there was just this day

745
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 4: and the and the lights are out and we were

746
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 4: writing and we were and when you're really open, this

747
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: sounds so hippie, but like I'm from San Francisco, I

748
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: went to Berkeley whatever, like you get signals and literally

749
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: I was just saying, you know, I don't know one

750
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: needs to hear this today, and it was just like

751
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 4: this information comes at you.

752
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 2: I think you know you're talking what I'm talking about.

753
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: When you're open or like you.

754
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 4: Know those times where you're like, I have to call

755
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 4: this person right now, and they're like, oh my god,

756
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 4: something happened. So when you're open to that experience, and

757
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 4: it tends to happen a lot. And I said, I

758
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: don't know who needs to feel this today, but like

759
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 4: I know that a lot of you come here a

760
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 4: lot and you do this thing, but like you matter,

761
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 4: and I see you and you're here and it means something.

762
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 4: You mean something, and the fact that you got up

763
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,600

Speaker 4: Like? And I got this letter, cry think about it.

767
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: I got this letter on Instagram because nobody writes letters anymore.

768
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 6: I got this note this damn and this girl says.

769
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: And she was just like, I know, right, it's so weird.

770
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm back. And it was a it was a Saturday

771
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: morning class.

772
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 4: It was like a Friday night the night before, and

773
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: she said, I went out and I got like really hammered,

774
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 4: and I did some things that I'm not proud of.

775
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't Alista, don't worry because you just won't come.

776
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: And I didn't want to come in I can't and

777
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: I just felt like crap, and really I didn't want

778
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 4: to come because I'm a monthly and I didn't want

779
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 4: to lose my twenty but I didn't want to pay

780
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 4: twenty dollars and she said, and I came, and it

781
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 4: just took everything and like turned it on its head.

782
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: And I what.

783
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: Was gonna be a horrible day of me just sort

784
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 4: of laying in my bed feeling like a piece of shit.

785
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: Oh, sorry, I'm sorry, it's usually me.

786
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: So I'm really glad it was you, so and she said,

787
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 4: and it just changed everything about my day and conversely

788
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 4: what happened and the rest of the day and she

789
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 4: and she said, but like you met, But that's what

790
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 4: it is, right, That's why we do it ultimately, And

791
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 4: like all of these other things are nice, but all

792
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,479
Speaker 4: of you that take these classes, that show up and.

793
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: Do these things, like, you guys are our life just

794
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: as much as sometimes you might feel like we're yours.

795
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: You guys are ours.

796
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: And like some of my best friends are here who

797
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 4: I met teaching, and some of my favorite writers are

798
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: here who I met teaching. And I think that we

799
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: start to take it for granted sometimes and to know

800
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 4: that we all matter to each other, right, we all matter,

801
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: and that every single time you walk in that room

802
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 4: and I tell my all of my stuff, I'm like,

803
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 4: you have an opportunity. So when you're bitching and moaning

804
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: because you're new and there's only five people in your class, well,

805
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, fuck you because those five shit I did again.

806
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 4: Those five people are showing up for you. They're taking

807
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: time out of their life, out of their schedule to

808
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 4: show up. And you don't get to complain that there's

809
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 4: only five people in there. You get to teach those

810
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 4: five people all of those things. And that is why

811
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: you matter, and that is why this matters.

812
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: I don't care if one person.

813
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 4: Feels better because they showed up where sixty people feel better.

814
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 4: You have the opportunity to change the course of someone's

815
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: day and maybe, if you're lucky, the opportunity of their life.

816
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 4: And that's why you're here. So for the good things.

817
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 4: That letter just knocks you back in when like eight

818
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 4: staff members are pissed and someone messed up their check

819
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: and YadA, YadA, YadA, do you guys want this new

820
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: studio or not? Like, here's what you owe and do

821
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 4: this and do that and all the other things that

822
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 4: happen you get locked back in andto why you're.

823
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 2: Here and why it matters.

824
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 4: So even if it's the good or the bad, right,

825
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: there's a lesson in it and that we get the

826
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 4: opportunity to be present, even like here, we get the

827
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 4: opportunity to be present, and whether I know all of

828
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: you and the ones that I do and the ones

829
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 4: that I don't, we get to have like this moment

830
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 4: and that's what matters. So for me, there's a lot

831
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 4: of crazy stuff along that line, but sometimes those good things,

832
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 4: those little moments, those are what make your life and

833
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 4: that's what you remember. So I think the moral of

834
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 4: the story is when you're impacting people, whether it's in

835
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 4: a class or outside or this or that, or know

836
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: that you have the opportunity.

837
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: To shape and change someone's day. That lingo. I love

838
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 2: the lingo opportunity.

839
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: I think that a lot of times when we're frustrated

840
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 3: and we have the bad day and we're the person

841
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: that's right in the help review and we're like, yeah,

842
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: screw this. You forget that you have the opportunity to

843
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 3: set the tone for your day, your week, your month,

844
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 3: your year, and any single second of any single day

845
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: you get to make the decision how you're going to

846
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 3: move forward. So it doesn't matter what happened in your

847
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 3: past or if you feel like you're on some construct

848
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 3: because this happened to me last week or last month

849
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: or last year. It's you get to make the decision

850
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 3: on how you're going to continue.

851
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 4: Yes, And like Rachel probably still comes to hy seven

852
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 4: because you weren't like hey, you were like hey, crazy, welcome.

853
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 5: Home, bad Hello, how are you?

854
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: How are you crazy? It's cool that that towel package,

855
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: you know, it's.

856
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 5: Everything's a lesson, Yeah, And I think it's a lesson

857
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 5: for I. One of the things I always try and

858
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 5: remind myself of is, you know, obviously there's a lot

859
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 5: going on when you have staff and clients and there's

860
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 5: all these people who you are trying to do and

861
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 5: be the best for. It's like kind of hard to

862
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 5: remember because I'm sure you get this a lot too.

863
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 5: It's like a lot of times when you're in a

864
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 5: position of management, all you hear is the bad stuff.

865
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 5: It's like, hey, this is going wrong, this is going wrong.

866
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 5: I didn't get this. This didn't happen someone in shop.

867
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 5: You're like, okay, Like no one sits down. Was like, hey, babe,

868
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 5: you're doing a great job. Like today sucks, but like

869
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 5: you're doing great, don't worry about it. So it's really

870
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 5: hard to get kind of bogged down of that negativity,

871
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 5: and what you know, has been kind of what I'm

872
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 5: trying to do with my mental mindset is to really

873
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 5: just control how I react, because I can't. Nothing else

874
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 5: is in my control.

875
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 2: That's it.

876
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 5: I can only control what I say back to somebody, yep,

877
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 5: and how I react to it, no matter what they're doing.

878
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 5: That's all I have control over, and that's what I

879
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 5: have to sit with, you know, like if someone gets

880
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 5: mad at me for something I did and I'm not

881
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 5: quite sure why, it doesn't make sense, It's like you

882
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 5: can only kind of sit and take that information and

883
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 5: do what you have with it and kind of, you know,

884
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 5: react from there. So it's kind of always this reacting

885
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 5: from a place of compassion and empathy and really just

886
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 5: like love for yourself too, because you know how many

887
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 5: of us sit around all day and are like do

888
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 5: I say the wrong thing?

889
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you both are very public people, which comes

890
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: with the nature of your job, like public on social media. Sarah,

891
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: when we sat down a year ago, you had nine studios,

892
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 3: now you're about to open your thirteenth. You're on the

893
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 3: cover of Ink. Like that's about as public as you get.

894
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 3: I mean, you're like on the newsstand and I walked

895
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 3: to my flight like you're there, that's hey, what's up?

896
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 5: Did you miss me?

897
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: I know I couldn't because you were on the newsstand.

898
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 3: So I mean you're both very public people. Does that

899
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: mess with your mind? Like, is that something that you've

900
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 3: had to learn how to handle? Because you're talking about

901
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: everyone has an opinion, well, a lot of extra people

902
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 3: have opinions when you're out there. I mean, like, don't

903
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 3: get me started on your A list group of friends.

904
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 3: Like I asked Michelle like who I should connect with

905
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: when I was in LA.

906
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 2: And the name she dropped. I was like, yeah, that

907
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: sounds cool. I could do. I could do that. I

908
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 2: could hang out.

909
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: I can hang out with this celebrity with eight million

910
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: followers and a daughter that like sound I'm not gonna

911
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: play it. She had She has a great family and

912
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 3: a really cool daughter's name, and I wanted to hang

913
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: out with her in a big company and it's pretty honest.

914
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying that Michelle's got some cool friends,

915
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: and ever since she told me who her friends were,

916
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 3: then like my feet is blowing up and all of

917
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: her friends her friends are on my feed, and I'm like, wow,

918
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 3: you're everywhere, So like, does that does being in the

919
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: public eye this much mess with your psyche a little bit?

920
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: I'm glad you all picked up on that.

921
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 4: By the way, for me, I think my friends will

922
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 4: vouch for this. It kind of doesn't because I don't

923
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 4: like care in a sense of just like I think

924
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 4: like all of even like those people or any these

925
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 4: people are like these two like crazy girls or my friends,

926
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 4: because I think like the people that are like in

927
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 4: the circle are like the homies, you know, like they're

928
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 4: there like for a reason. However, for sure, there are

929
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 4: instances like and this is not today, but like when

930
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 4: Madonna came to my class, I fucking freaked out, you know,

931
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 4: like I had like a brush in the mirror and

932
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: I was like, all of a sudden, So yes, there

933
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 4: are moments like that that happening.

934
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 3: You're like, Holy, does the self talk change though?

935
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: Like, do you have to have a different dialogue?

936
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: I guess what I want to get at is I

937
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: feel as though and I always praise things like this,

938
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 3: because it's like I feel as though, but that might

939
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: not be actually what's going on. I feel as though

940
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 3: being someone that's in fitness and I might not teach anymore.

941
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 3: But I am someone who I'm a run coach, I'm

942
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 3: a trainer, I'm active.

943
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: I have this whole dialogue this podcast, I have this.

944
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: Dialogue with myself on maybe at some times, how I

945
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 3: should be in front of all these people. So my

946
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 3: question is, because your platform is amplified, do you feel

947
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 3: like you are having a different dialogue with.

948
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 2: Yourself maybe or I don't know. I think that there's

949
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure.

950
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 4: I think a lot of times the platform becomes amplified

951
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 4: because you are true to yourself.

952
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 2: I'd like to say that.

953
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 4: I like to throw that out there of like, so

954
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 4: many of the things that happen or happen in your

955
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 4: life usually don't happen for an accident, Like those things

956
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 4: tend to happen because you kind of are authentically you.

957
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 4: So in that sense, there's gonna be those moments that

958
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 4: kind of smack you in the face, or like you'll

959
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 4: meet someone and'll be like, oh my gosh, my friendsicsure

960
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 4: and you're like what, but it's just kind of like

961
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 4: oh what and kind of keep it moving. I think

962
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 4: that the thing where it does change a little bit

963
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 4: is sort of behavior, like I have to make sure

964
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 4: like if I'm gonna get hammered, then I'm like protected,

965
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 4: like you know, you know what, I like do that

966
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 4: in front of like people that wow, now we're really

967
00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 4: on that.

968
00:45:59,000 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 2: Now we're getting there.

969
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 5: Two drinks at the employee parties.

970
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 4: Right right, Like I've had managers who have to be like,

971
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 4: do you know who you are right now and how

972
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 4: you're supposed to be behaving. So I think for me

973
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: it's more amplified in the sense of, like I watch

974
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 4: my behavior in like sort of a bigger setting where

975
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 4: you're more worried about making sure and I'm a big

976
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 4: believer and work our play hard, Like I love the

977
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 4: idea of Y seven because guess what, Like I'm a

978
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: black girl, I'm gonna eat it's happening, deal with it.

979
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 4: But you're not gonna be faster than me on that bike.

980
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 4: So regardless of what I ate or what whether or

981
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 4: not om size too, I'm giving you everything that I

982
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 4: have and like bring it. So I think that kind

983
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 4: of the filter comes more in the sense of you

984
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: want to make sure that you're putting your best foot forward, right.

985
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: So I think for me, it's.

986
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 4: More of that than necessarily like these other people, because

987
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: at the end of you know, everybody's got poop on

988
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 4: the toilet, Like, we're all the same. You might have

989
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: some more money than me, and your house might be

990
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 4: bigger than me, but at the end of the day,

991
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 4: we're all the same person. But I think you want

992
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 4: to be like respectful of Like I always make a joke,

993
00:46:58,600 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 4: I'm like Coachella is next weekend.

994
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: If you see me and you want to say hi,

995
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: say hi, don't repeat what you saw.

996
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 4: If your friends are like a little more straight laced

997
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 4: than Mama might be right now, In that sense, it's

998
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,479
Speaker 4: more of the things that I think about.

999
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 2: I try to be respectful of sort.

1000
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 4: Of that journey, and hopefully people are respectful of the

1001
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 4: fact that, like I am there seven days a week.

1002
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 4: I've never been late in eight years. I've never been

1003
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 4: late for a class. I show up, I do my job.

1004
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 4: I give you everything that I have. So if you

1005
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 4: see me out, yes, like I'm gonna try to be like,

1006
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 4: let's afford each other a little bit of respect because

1007
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 4: like I don't post it on social media when like,

1008
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 4: you know, show ten times in a row.

1009
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 2: How about that, Hey, maybe you should, I mean I

1010
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 2: have Do you feel pressure to be stellar because you are?

1011
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 5: It's so nice.

1012
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 3: I'm trying to compliment you.

1013
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: We need more of this. I'm just gonna text you

1014
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: randomly once a week now.

1015
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 3: With n.

1016
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 5: I used to, and I think that was a big

1017
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 5: part of when I kind of start in the health

1018
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 5: and I don't. I eat all the things. I drink

1019
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 5: way too much. But again, I've always shown up. I've

1020
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 5: never missed a flight, I've never missed a meeting. So

1021
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 5: until those things happen, I will continue on my merry way.

1022
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 5: And you know, there's I think especially with you know,

1023
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 5: food and habits and routines and all of these things,

1024
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 5: like I don't have any of that. I don't wake

1025
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 5: up at the same time every morning. I wake up

1026
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 5: at the latest time possible for me to get to

1027
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 5: where I need to be. I eat all the things.

1028
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 5: I only take vitamins when I'm sick, which is a

1029
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 5: terrible habit and not what they're for. But I felt

1030
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 5: a lot of pressure in the beginning to you know,

1031
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 5: when I was doing interviews or talking to people, and

1032
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 5: it's a lot of like, you know, really great placement

1033
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 5: for press, which is like, what's in your fridge. I

1034
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 5: was like, Kale, it's not true. The only thing in

1035
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 5: my fridge is wine and condiments.

1036
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 2: Just gonna catch up.

1037
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's every every type of mustard, lots of I'm Japanese,

1038
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 5: there's lots of Asian sauces. There's just a lot of

1039
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 5: like that's what's in my fridge because that's what's there.

1040
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 5: I do not make things from scratch for dinner all

1041
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 5: the time. And that was like a lot of the

1042
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 5: pressure I was kind of feeling was to kind of

1043
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,959
Speaker 5: keep up with the standard that had been set within

1044
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 5: this industry. So that was a lot of like my

1045
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 5: first year was kind of you know, trying to prove

1046
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 5: that I belonged in this category. And then I just

1047
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 5: stopped because well not Mishelle swear too. I don't feel

1048
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 5: it's bad, like fuck it, who cares?

1049
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 2: Like it's either like like please go ahead. It's it's

1050
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 2: either like like.

1051
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 5: I think that like you know, you realize at a

1052
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 5: certain point, like you cannot please everybody, and like if

1053
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 5: you don't like me, like that's okay. Like you don't

1054
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 5: to like me, Like it's cool if there's some people

1055
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 5: that I don't like and there's no real reason, it's

1056
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 5: just like I don't know, we don't vibe, and like

1057
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 5: that's okay, and that's gonna happen with a lot of people,

1058
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 5: and it also happens with like a lot of just

1059
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 5: things in life. And I think once you kind of

1060
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 5: shed the expectation that you put on yourself, it just

1061
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 5: kind of becomes a different story and you're able to

1062
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 5: really put out this energy that people want to gravitate

1063
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 5: towards because you're unapologetically who you are, you know, and

1064
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 5: like people. I think people can feel that people can

1065
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 5: feel when, you know, when you're having a conversation with

1066
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 5: you know, a friend and you're like, so it's going on,

1067
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 5: They're like nothing, You're like okay, You're like, you're like,

1068
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 5: all right, let's order a bottle of one, you know,

1069
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 5: and then so you're there, yeah, and then you're there,

1070
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 5: You're like, all right, I see you girl, Like we

1071
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 5: could have just gotten this over within twenty minutes, but

1072
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 5: here we are. So I think that that, you know,

1073
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 5: it's an energy that people can pick up on, and

1074
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 5: it's an authenticity thing, and that's I think what becomes

1075
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 5: really important, and especially now you know, as I mean,

1076
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 5: even three of us up here, and I'm sure so

1077
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 5: many of you guys in the room being women like

1078
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 5: in this day and age, like we have such a

1079
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 5: power to be ourselves and like speak our truths, which

1080
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 5: I think is so important.

1081
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 2: I think it's awesome.

1082
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 5: I don't even know if I answered her question.

1083
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying you're doing really great. I think, Sarah, I

1084
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 2: don't even remember. I think you're really pretty. You're doing

1085
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: really great.

1086
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 5: Stop it, Shawn me trum staying on track for you guys.

1087
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 3: We're slowly winding down now. What has been one of

1088
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 3: the best pieces of advice that you have been offered

1089
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 3: in your career.

1090
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 4: I went to a like a seminar thing, and the

1091
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 4: one of the things that hit me, and I think

1092
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 4: I actually said to you yesterday that has always stuck

1093
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,720
Speaker 4: with me was know your strengths and manage your weakness.

1094
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: Right, So then.

1095
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 4: It's really stuck with me because I think when you're

1096
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 4: trying to start something, you want to do everything, like

1097
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 4: every single thing. And if I spent every single second

1098
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 4: doing every single thing, if I was calling a plumber,

1099
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 4: like fixing the like doing these kind of things that

1100
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 4: don't necessarily don't necessarily help me be the best.

1101
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 2: Instructor that I can be.

1102
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 4: Right, So, if you're trying to start a business, what

1103
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 4: is it that you have to offer to the business.

1104
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 4: Are you the producer or you the executioner or what

1105
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 4: are what is that thing that you do and what do.

1106
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 2: You do best?

1107
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 4: And that thing that you do best, that is what

1108
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 4: you do and those weaknesses that you have.

1109
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 2: I am not a details girl.

1110
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,760
Speaker 4: Like somebody probably needs to follow me like a voice memo,

1111
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 4: like I learned make a voice memo, Michelle, because if

1112
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 4: I have to type it, it's.

1113
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 2: Gonna just not work.

1114
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 4: Manage your weakness and set up ways to make sure

1115
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 4: that your weaknesses are managed. Make sure that you have

1116
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 4: someone at your right hand side, like my fellow owners.

1117
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 4: Like in terms of like anything from like the payroll specifically,

1118
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 4: I can send you this, but I'm not running a

1119
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 4: W two or doing any of those kinds of things

1120
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 4: or figuring out exactly what that's supposed to be. And

1121
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 4: for me, I don't know why, but that's particular sentence.

1122
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 4: Know your strengths and manage your weakness it is no.

1123
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 4: It's okay for you to have weaknesses. We all have them.

1124
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 4: Once you can manage the weakness, then you can focus

1125
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 4: on the things that you do really, really, really well,

1126
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 4: and then you can really help take your business to

1127
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 4: the next level. And I think for me that was

1128
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 4: one of the most liberating and helpful things that I

1129
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 4: was ever told, because I tend to want to micromanage

1130
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 4: and do everything.

1131
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 2: So find someone that you trust.

1132
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 4: And I don't care if it's your mom, if you

1133
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 4: can't afford to pay that person right now, but you

1134
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 4: find that person and you figure out a way to get.

1135
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 2: Things done in terms of what you do best. Your

1136
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 2: mom's not on your payroll.

1137
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 4: One of us wouldn't be living. We're way too similar

1138
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 4: for that.

1139
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 2: And I've just.

1140
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 3: Began to actually admit that, all right, I'm what's the

1141
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: best piece of career advice you've ever been offered?

1142
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 4: Mmm?

1143
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 5: I wouldn't. I wouldn't say it was I'm gonna go

1144
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 5: a little bit more current because I took class this

1145
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 5: morning with one of our instructors, and her dharma for

1146
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 5: the day was it's okay, Like it's everything's okay, And

1147
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 5: that is like those little statements for me have always

1148
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 5: been like this sort of mind flips that I need

1149
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 5: for myself because I get I'll be honest with you guys,

1150
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 5: like I love ula, but man, when it rains, nothing works.

1151
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,280
Speaker 5: Like both my studios have leaks here, Like things are happening.

1152
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, what is going on? Like we have like

1153
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 5: water coming down under the paint. It actually looks like

1154
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 5: two giant breasts of water and that we had to.

1155
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 2: Pop and it studio set.

1156
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was like, oh, like you know, I

1157
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 5: don't I don't know. We don't deal with that stuff

1158
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 5: in New York and I don't know if it's because

1159

00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 5: me and like it's not so they think that everyone

1194

00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 5: guys are all the main character in your own stories, right,

1196
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 5: And everything we think about is so much bigger when

1197
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 5: we think about it in regards to just us, and

1198
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 5: I think there's so there's like so much more out there,

1199
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 5: and that like, you know, the more that we realize

1200
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 5: that like we're just as important, as special and as

1201
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 5: unique as we are, that we're all just kind of these,

1202
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 5: you know, little puzzle pieces that are there to help

Speaker 5: each other be better, then everything becomes a little bit

1204
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 5: more easy to deal with.

1205
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 3: Just gonna throw this last little piece of kindle onto

1206
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 3: the fire, is that I think one of the best

1207
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: pieces of advice that I've been offered, and I continually

1208
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: get offered this with sixty five percent of the entrepreneurs

1209
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 3: and CEOs I sit down with the hurdle, they all

1210
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 3: tell me, they just say, just start, Like how overwhelming

1211
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 3: is it to start something? New or try something different,

1212
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 3: or just.

1213
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 5: I was there for that conversation with you.

1214
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,479
Speaker 2: Everyone. Everyone tells me just to begin.

1215
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 3: And it's crazy because even for all of you that

1216
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 3: are just hearing about hurdle for the first time, I mean,

1217
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 3: I knew nothing about starting a podcast when I started

1218
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 3: a podcast, and.

1219
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,200

1234
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,320

Speaker 2: to take up any more of your time.

1238
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 5: I was like, we just got on the phone five

1239
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 5: seconds ago, what do you mean.

1240
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: I was like, what's that?

1241
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 5: My stomach is literally in my asshole. I'm like, what's

1242
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 5: going on? I was so nervous, and she's like, we

1243
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 5: have to rerecord. I was like, I mean, come on,

1244
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 5: it's okay. I was like, oh my god, of course.

1245
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 5: I was like, whatever, just put it on my calendar.

1246
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: Yet, well, that's what she said.

1247
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 3: And that's the thing I think a the first lesson

1248
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 3: is just start and when you mess up, the people

1249
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 3: like that recognize that you are working hard to be

1250
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 3: your best are gonna be cool with the fact that

1251
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 3: you make mistakes. And then the second lesson is everybody

1252
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 3: makes mistakes. Like we don't have to be perfect, and

1253
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 3: we all, especially in this age of social media, feel

1254
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 3: like everything has to look shiny and be dazzled and

1255
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: all the things. When in actuality, being vulnerable is a

1256
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 3: beautiful thing. And so to meet people and entrepreneurs, for

1257
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 3: me in my position, and to sit down with all

1258
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 3: of you in this room and just to be authentically

1259
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 3: who I am going through to the points we talked

1260
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 3: on before, that's a really special skill and it's it's

1261
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: just really dope. Okay, last last thing, last thing. I

1262
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 3: promise you have the opportunity right now to give the

1263
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 3: Nachelle who it's like post strike two thousand and it's Sarah.

1264
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: She just started her business. Her husband and her are

1265
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 3: like on the training divorce court. You have an opportunity

1266
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 3: to give both of your former selves younger selves a

1267
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 3: piece of advice in what we call here at hurdle,

1268
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 3: your hurdle moment. What is the piece of advice you

1269
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 3: give to yourself back then right now.

1270
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 4: Looking back on it, honestly, it's jump in. Don't let

1271
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 4: fear of failure. What other people are gonna say, what

1272
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 4: does it look like? What if you look stupid? All

1273
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 4: these things that come into your head, all of these

1274
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 4: negative things that come into your head, Just jump in.

1275
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 2: And I remember when I was being approached with the

1276
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 2: idea of cycle House.

1277
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 4: Literally it was just people with an idea who had

1278
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 4: lived in LA for six months and had taken every

1279
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 4: cycling class in LA. And they were like, Oh, that's her.

1280
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 4: And they were like, so here's we're gonna give you.

1281
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 4: This is what it's gonna do.

1282
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: And basically they were like, here we got a name

1283
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 2: and there's an empty room. You know, it's like no,

1284
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 2: like a you guys crazy.

1285
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 4: And I was walking to work at Chateau Marmont and

1286
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 4: I ran into one of the managers and he was like, oh,

1287
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 4: it's going on. I was like, and I don't even know,

1288
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 4: like I never spoke to this person. And I said, oh,

1289
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 4: this is place.

1290
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's so weird because we didn't have that here.

1291
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 2: This is La.

1292
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 4: We didn't have cycling studios. Those did not exist. Like

1293
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 4: those of you that are from New.

1294
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: York, they're like a studio or this a studio that

1295
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: I was in La.

1296
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 4: You went to a gym, you found the best teacher,

1297
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 4: and you rearrange your schedule to go to that person.

1298
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 4: And she's like, let me get this straight. They're like

1299
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 4: they're giving you like this faith that so basically whatever

1300
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 4: happens here is you. You get to decide how this thing goes.

1301
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 4: You're in charge of it. This is they're giving you ownership.

1302
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 4: They're just providing all of the stuff.

1303
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 2: And he was like, are you crazy.

1304
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 4: Like he's like, you have ideas, take it, like take

1305
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 4: all the what would it look like? And like and

1306
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 4: like literally the second he said that it all like

1307
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 4: I saw it. I saw twenty fifteen cycle house, I

1308
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 4: saw you know versus this, this giant empty rooms. So

1309
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 4: these moments are gonna come right in your life and

1310
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 4: you have a choice. And often the worst thing that

1311
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 4: can happen is you is you go back to where

1312
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 4: you were before. Right we all think of, oh god,

1313
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 4: this is gonna happen, and then I'm never gonna work

1314
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 4: again and everyone's gonna hate me. None of that is

1315
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 4: gonna happen if it doesn't work out, which it probably

1316
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 4: will because it's probably something that you're passionate about. But

1317
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 4: if it doesn't, you're kind of just gonna be where

1318
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 4: you were when you decided to say no, and when

1319
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 4: you decided to let fear win, and you decided to

1320
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 4: not go for it, and you decided to to think

1321
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 4: of yourself as a less standard. You're not capable, or

1322
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 4: you're not worthy, or all of these other things that

1323
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 4: come into your head that's stopping you.

1324
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: The answer is you are.

1325
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 4: You are strong enough, you are good enough, you are

1326
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 4: brave enough, you are smart enough. People like you enough.

1327
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 4: The answer is yes. So my advice to you would

1328
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 4: be jump in.

1329
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 5: Sorry, I feel like i'm on a bike right now,

1330
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 5: like I'm so so upset. I'm not I know, I

1331
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 5: love it so much. I'm like, I come on, yeah, okay,

1332
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 5: like where are we going?

1333
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: Later?

1334
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 5: I will follow anywhere you want?

1335
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Then can she have your bikes?

1336
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,439
Speaker 5: She's like no, we do you need another drink?

1337
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 2: So do it? So? Uh yo? Where? What?

1338
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 3: Uh?

1339
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 2: What advice would you give to yourself?

1340
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 5: Well, thank you for Michelle for going first so I

1341
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 5: could think about this so I can give a real answer.

1342
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 5: I would say to sweet little angel baby Sarah that

1343
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 5: you never know what you can handle until you do it.

1344
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 5: I think there were a lot of things that if

1345
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 5: like you came me five years who are like you

1346
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 5: have to do this, I'll be like, Nope, I don't

1347
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 5: know how to do that. But when you have a

1348
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 5: business and you're kind of forced into a position of like, well,

1349
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 5: no one else is going to do it, like you

1350
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 5: realize that you can do it and you can probably

1351
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 5: do whatever is thrown at you. You just have to

1352
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 5: want to do it. And that's really it, Like there's

1353
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 5: nothing you can't do, and it's just really a mindset

1354
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 5: of you know, And I think there are a lot

1355
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 5: of times where I thought that in you know, my

1356
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 5: past career where I was like, oh no, no, like I

1357
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 5: don't know how to do that yet nobody showed me

1358
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 5: or I don't know you know what to do next.

1359
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 5: But when you're in a position where there is no

1360
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 5: one to tell you what to do and there's no

1361
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 5: one to teach you, it's kind of like, all right, well,

1362
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 5: I guess I have to do it, and this is

1363
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 5: your opportunity to figure out how to do it. And

1364
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 5: now you know how to do it, and that's kind

1365
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,439
Speaker 5: of really it's a cool thing to realize that whatever

1366
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 5: is thrown at you you can handle.

1367
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 2: That's it, guys.

1368
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,440
