00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: to build your booty, be's your girl. She relocated to

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the US from Australia in twenty thirteen, and she really

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: has built a name for herself as the designer of

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: darriers for lack of a better term. She sells and

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: makes her own loop resistance vans. You can buy those

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: at sweat with BECKNYC dot com. And she works with

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: everyone and from Victoria's Secret Models to man I'm sure

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of you listening to the pod today. But

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen she hit a hurdle moment of sorts.

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: She was teaching an insane amount up to five group

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: fitness classes forty five personal training clients a week when

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: she was sidelined with back to back injuries. She broke

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: her foot, she had a little knife incident in the kitchen,

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: and then she also bulged a disc in her back,

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: throwing her into intense pain. That's when she leaned into CBD.

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: She teamed up with a friend of hers to create

46
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: what is now called Go Basic and that's an edible's

47
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: brand with super simple ingredients. Right now, they sell edible

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: chocolates as well as protein balls, and she gives us

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: a tip on this episode about what's next to come. FYI,

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: it sounds super delicious and really exciting. Beck's got a

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: lot of personality. She loves to promote her brand, which

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: is fitness without the VS pretty much. She's not going

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: to tell you not to drink. She's not going to

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: tell you not to have fun. She's just going to

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: tell you that you've got to work hard if you

56
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: want to have it all. And I love that about her.

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: Make sure as you're listening today, you're posting the takeaways

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639

60
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been for ever since I've checked

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: in with you guys, even though it's just been seven days.

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: I've been traveling a lot from Spain to Paris to

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: Aspen this week. If you've been keeping up and I've

64
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: been having a really great time, I would be lying

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: though if I didn't say that, I'm so amped, so

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: amped to be in New York City for a ten

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: day stretch right now and do the simple things like

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: run and go to hot yoga at lions Den and

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: catch up with my friends and sit at my weework desk.

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: It sounds silly, but it's the simple things that just

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: make me feel so me. As always, if you need anything,

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,640

00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and you looked fabulous. Also, can't forget to shout out

Speaker 1: social yesterday and you looked great doing the damn thing.

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that's it. Let's get to hurdling today. I'm

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: sitting here with beck Donlin. How would you describe yourself back?

81
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I love sometimes I feel like I go to describe

82
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: people for them and I just you can do it

83
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: so much better than me.

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: I like saying that, but then I always laugh because

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: I always get people to describe me as well, because

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, there's so many different things now.

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: So back in the day, I would say just a

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: personal trainer.

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: Now we say personal training slash like health and wellness

90
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: multi half of it, entrepreneur kind of slash slide hustle queen.

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: So I've got a lot of stuff going on, I.

92
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Know, but I feel like your side hustle is the

93
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: main hustle. It is the hustle. So Avi by your voice,

94
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: you can tell you're not from here. It's a fun

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: thing about a podcast. It's the first thing that people

96
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: want to know. So where are you from?

97
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: Back from Melbourne, Australia. So I've been here for six years.

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: Congrats Friday. I know it's great.

99
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: Do you like it?

100
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: I do love it. I love the New York Castle.

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: I really love that aspect of it. Obviously, I miss nature,

102
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: Like who wouldn't.

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: But that's why I make sure I travel a lot,

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: you know, yeah New York, so I don't become a

105
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: crazy New Yorker if I leave every six weeks or so.

106
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: But if I stay any longer than that, all of

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: a sudden, I like get a bit short and a

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: bit weird.

109
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, I gotta go. I need to hike.

110
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: Use something like that.

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: You gotta go. I mean I can relate to that.

112
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Beck and I before we started chatting on the record

113
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: today we're both talking about our insane travel schedules, also

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: our mutual feeling of just liking to be able to

115
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: do all the things we want to do by ourselves.

116
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: I think this is an entrepreneur thing. It's like, you

117
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: just want all this control and you don't know, you

118
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: don't want to have to rely on anyone for anything,

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: and it makes me antsy same.

120
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: And I think what it is about that is you've

121
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: put so much f into building your brand and too

122
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: building everything, and you've done it all by yourself, you know,

123
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: and then you get to the point where you need

124
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: to grow and then you have to enlist help. But

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: you're like, wait, I've done it so far, so well,

126
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: I've pulled my whole life into it.

127
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: Now I've got to trust someone and hope for the best.

128
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: It's it's the worst.

129
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: It's one of the best pieces of advice that I

130
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: feel like I'm given time and time again. Rachel Dury

131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: from Daily Harvest was recently on the podcast and she

132
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: said to me that she always hires people that are

133
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: smarter than her, and I think that's I mean, it's

134
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: an excellent piece of advice, but it also speaks to

135
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: this idea that when you're trying to build something, at

136
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: some point, sooner or later, you're going to have to

137
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: go a little bit.

138
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: Definitely.

139
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: My thing last year was, okay, right, I'm going to

140
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: recognize what I'm not good at, which is many things, okay,

141
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: believe it or not, and then work out the tasks

142
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: that I procrastinate the most on, or things that take

143
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: me the longest, or just like a mental block on,

144
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: and then get someone to do those tasks and fill

145
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: those voids. And that's how I started, and that actually

146
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: really helped because it made such a difference because instantly,

147
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: now I'm not thinking twice about things, I'm not wasting

148
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: time and that's okay.

149
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: All right, So personal trainer, were you always super in

150
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: to help and fitness.

151
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

152
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: So give me a little backstory. Get let's get to know.

153
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: Back This is a big story. No, no, no, I like

154
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: to talk, so you're lucky. So I never liked sport

155
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: growing up. I was not into health and wellness at all.

156
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: I liked being healthy. I really loved food facts, I

157
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: loved doing all that type of stuff. But going to

158
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: the like playing sport and like doing physical fitness things

159
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: for me was really intimidating. I was like the fashion

160
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: artsy girl at school. Okay, I was a floater. I

161
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: like had many friends. I was like kind of just

162
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: friends with everybody generally, but I wasn't like in a click.

163
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: I wasn't in like the sporting crew everything like that.

164
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: So for me, sport had a bit of a stigma. Like,

165
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: for example, like I played tennis. My parents put me

166
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: in tennis lessons for two years and I don't think

167
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: I ever played a game because I'm like, no, no,

168
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: it's too much pressure.

169
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: I can't handle it. And then I remember.

170
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: When I was in year nine so like fourteen, and

171
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: had to pick a sport for school, and I'm like,

172
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: oh my god, what am.

173
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: I going to do?

174
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: And so I picked field hockey because the outfits were

175
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: really cute. And then I remember it was like the

176
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: first day and the coach was like, okay, Beg, you

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: can like carry the equipment was and that was like

178
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: my last tone because I told him to like get

179
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: fucked and threw it all across the spot and then

180
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: I walked away. So that was my schooling sporting experience.

181
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: It's about the extent of it. And then when I

182
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: hit like eighteen nineteen, I'm like, I love the gym.

183
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: The gym's amazing because it was just against me. It's

184
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: no pressure, it's not like that, because in my head

185
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: it was like that big like Broie douchebaggy vibe.

186
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: Of like playing a sport.

187
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Bex podcast is officially explicit. Sorry, no, it's fine. I'm

188
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: cool with it being explicit. It doesn't bother me.

189
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: It's showing passion. I think.

190
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: The more expletives you throw into the world.

191
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: Exactly when I was nineteen, I really got into the

192
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: gym because it was just me.

193
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: It was my own time.

194
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: It was a really good mental release and I absolutely

195
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: loved it. So I loved going to the gym. I

196
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: love nutrition facts. I loved all that stuff. And then

197
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: I was working in fashion, and then I went to hospitality,

198
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: so I was definitely not in fitness. And then I

199
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: kind of had this like well moment where I'm like, wait,

200
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: I'm so obsessed with nutrition facts, I'm so obsessed with

201
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: people's allergies and how they do this and like random

202
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: things like that that I'm like, wait, I think I

203
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: finally understand that whole like what are you passionate about things?

204
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 2: Because I'd never had that before. I'd never had that

205
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: with any role or career I'd chosen. And then I

206
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: also realized that every single one of my friends in hospitality,

207
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: everyone in pr everyone like the socialites and this and that,

208
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: because I was like working with like we had crazy lives.

209
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: It was very much a party based life.

210
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: But everyone would not want to go near the gym

211
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: or do anything because they'd just be like, ew, chicken

212
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: and broccoli and ill fake tans because that's all they

213
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: associated it with. So there was nothing really for the

214
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: party goer, for the socialite, for the person that wants

215
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: to do both and wants to have a bit of fun.

216
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: But it doesn't have to be this complete, like all encompassing,

217
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: like you don't have to commit to the meal plan

218
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: every single dage.

219
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you can do both.

220
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: My idea it was it's better that people do something

221
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: and actually it makes that attainable for that group of people,

222
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: then not at all. And so that's how I started

223
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: sport with Beck.

224
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: That's so interesting to me that at nineteen you really

225
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: felt this strong calling, because I think some people, I mean,

226
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm thirty now, and I think beyond thirty, especially even

227
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: people still struggle with finding something that they feel so

228
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: passionate about. And this idea that what you do for

229
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: a living can be something you enjoy.

230
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: And that's exactly it. And so I think it took

231
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: me a while. So I still worked in hospitality until

232
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: I was like twenty six. And at this point you're

233
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 2: still in Australia.

234
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, still in Australia.

235
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: And so it was twenty six and yeah, then it

236
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: was like when I was turning twenty six, I was like, Okay,

237
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: now I'm just going to start this because there's nothing around.

238
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: I'm going to make fitness cool and I was like,

239
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to make it attainable. And it was really fun.

240
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: And that's why my whole brand is very sassy fitness.

241
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: It's like health and wellness with sas you know, and

242
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: it's very cheeky, it's very may everything's branded very much

243
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: made you. I mean, I say it like it is,

244
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 2: as you're going to find out over the next however long.

245
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: But it's been fun.

246
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: I love that you said cheeky because you're kind of

247
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: known as a booty builder. Abound me that probably right?

248
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Did you? Always were? You always like a legs kind.

249
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: Of gal I love.

250
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: I think most girls like doing legs because it's like

251
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: that you get that rush, you know, and like it's

252
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: so I love strength training.

253
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: I always did back in the day. That's how I started.

254
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: I was a strength coach.

255
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: I got obsessed with the bands because I could not

256
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: activate my glutes. My quads would take over like crazy.

257
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: So I was lifting really heavy. I had super chunky quads.

258
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: My butt was barely activating all the time.

259
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: And so then that's and I was getting injured from

260
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: running because I was not activating my glutes. So I

261
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: started doing the bands before i'd run because I hurt

262
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: my knee like everyone that runs basically, and so I

263
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: hurt my knees started getting really into the bands that way,

264
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: and then I was like, then all my clients were

265
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: starting to use the bands, and then I realized, wait,

266
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: I'm like using these bands, like I'm like going through

267
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: my Amazon account is through the roof every single week

268
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm order, I've got bands on order because they just

269
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: keep on snapping. Nothing's strong enough. Also, like I'm only

270
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: using the heavy resists and that's still not even strong enough.

271
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: So then that's how I.

272
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: Got into the band.

273
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: So obviously you sell bands on your website. What's your

274
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: website again, that's sweat with beeck dot com. Okay, so

275
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: you sell bands on your website. But these are the

276
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: same kinds of bands, maybe not as strong as your

277
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: bands that you could go buy on Amazon and different

278
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: types of resistance.

279
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: Yes, you definitely can.

280
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

281
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: The reason why I made mine was because we're the

282
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: ones I was buying off Amazon. No matter how many

283
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: brands I would try, would last about two weeks if

284
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: you use.

285
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: Them every day.

286
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine, because the latext we use is if you

287
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: use them every day, they should last two to three

288
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: months instead, which wow, so much better and it's just

289
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: more savvy for me.

290
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: I was so sick of buying them.

291
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: For someone who's never used bands before. What are like

292
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: some exercises that someone would associate doing with them.

293
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: So they're the little mini bands. They're about like what

294
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: eight inches long, and they like loop around your ankles.

295
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: It'd be like putting them around your ankles and doing

296
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: like crab walks, so side steps all the way up,

297
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: all the way back, putting them around in knees while

298
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: you squat.

299
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 3: You can also use them with weights in the gym.

300
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: But my whole thing is to do like a lot

301
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: of like travel fitness, so you can work out wherever

302
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: you go.

303
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Got it? Got it? Okay, So you're in Australia, you're

304
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: doing personal training, you're really into strength coaching.

305
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, I'm jumping everywhere right now. That's okay, really

306
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: strength coaching. I came on a vacation to America and

307
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: with my girlfriends when I was twenty five, and I

308
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I love it here. I

309
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: need to live here. This is the greatest place in

310
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: the world. And so I remember getting in the car

311
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: on the way to the airport going back. I've been

312
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: spent three months in all of America. I didn't go

313
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: to New York though, and so we did like San

314
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: France through like all of California, like Hamas, Miami, like

315
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: weluded and everything, and I member my friend driving with

316
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: the airport and I was in tears, and he's like,

317
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: what the hell is wrong with you? And I'm like,

318
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: I'm so sad to leave. I've never felt more at

319
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: home in my life. I need to live here. And

320
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: he's like, well, why don't you apply for the Green

321
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: Car Lottery. And I'm like, what the hell is that.

322
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: That sounds like it's fake, and he's like, no, no, no,

323
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: it's real. You just pay fifty dollars online you apply

324
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: for the g Card lottery and like they draw it

325
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: every year and I'm like that sounds ridiculous, but yep,

326
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: I'll do it. And so then I applied for the

327
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: Green Card Lottery. As soon as I got home. I

328
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: was so obsessed with the thought of winning. And this

329
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: is where I got really into manifesting things. I think,

330
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 2: to the point where every night, in the middle of

331
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: the night, I would wake up like dreaming that I'd

332
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: won the Green Card Lottery or like, oh my god,

333
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: check your email quick like. But this went on for

334
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: like eight months, and then they announced the winners. I

335
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: actually won, which was kind of crazy. And so then

336
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: that's how I moved to the States.

337
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy to me that that exists. And then it's

338
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: so hard for people from other places to get to

339
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: the States.

340
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: It's actually, even as a normal AUSTRAI, it is so

341
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: hard to move to the States unless you're sponsored or

342
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: anything like that.

343
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: In for personal training, it's.

344
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: Almost impossible to move to the States. Right, So the

345
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: green card, really it was like a game changer for me.

346
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: It was great.

347
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: And so when you moved, did you come street to

348
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: New York? I did, so.

349
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: It was actually in a relationship at the time, and

350
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: the compromise was, well, if I'm changing countries for you

351
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: instead of moving to La like you want, Beck, let's

352
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: move to New York and we'll compromise that way. And

353
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: I did not want to move to New York at all.

354
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: I was so bitter about it. But I'm like, it's okay,

355
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm in the country. It's all that matters. It's all

356
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: that matters. Really, Like I love LA like I love

357
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: that vibe usually, and then we moved here and I

358
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: absolutely loved it and he hated it.

359
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, and you're still here, and you're still here. Okay,

360
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: So you came to New York and you loved it. Yeah, absolutely,

361
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: And you knew when you came here that you wanted

362
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: to do personal training, you wanted to keep that vibe going.

363
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: Yes, So that's this is where I like officially, So

364
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: before I left, I was probably.

365
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: Working five jobs.

366
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: I was doing like everything from like door bitching to

367
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: bartending to like literally I'm sorry, what.

368
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Was the first one?

369
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: Door bitching?

370
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: What is that? What is that?

371
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: Maybe that's an Australian term hostess. It's a selector.

372
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: So I'm the person out the front of the club

373
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: that tells you who can come in and who cannot.

374
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: Was one of the hardest door girls in Melbourne, which

375
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: is very funny.

376
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: For like a couple of years, it's just hilarious.

377
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, because I'm really tough, guys.

378
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: So I was working so many jobs.

379
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: So then when I got to New York, I'm like, okay,

380
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: obviously I don't really know anybody, so I'm going to

381
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: barton straight away because it's easy, like it's it's some

382
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: form of cash flow.

383
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: And then I got a job at Equinox in the

384
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: printing house.

385
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Okay, and how long were you working at Equinox Fire.

386
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: Maybe like twelve months? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was

387
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: really happy to leave that place.

388
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

389
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm not good at working for other people, and I

390
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: think that's what really really.

391
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: Stuck a fire up. Shall we say, it really made

392
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: me realize I.

393
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: Having my own business in Australia moving here, I'm like,

394
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: I need to work for myself. I'm so I thrive

395
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: by myself. I'm so competitive with myself.

396
00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: I love it.

397
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't like if I'm told to do a task

398
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: and I can't see the reason why I just won't

399
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: do it.

400
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: I've really got problems like that.

401
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: And so for me working at Economics, maybe it was

402
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: really good to meet people and like actually have some

403
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: form of like running into.

404
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: People, because otherwise I wouldn't.

405
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, that really made me realize, Okay, this is

406
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: it I've really got to do start sort.

407
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine that, Yes, it was a good place

408
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: to meet people and also a really great place to

409
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: get a sense of what it's like to work in

410
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: fitness in a city like New York.

411
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah it was, and it's but it also down to

412
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: like but I would notice instead of what it's like

413
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: to work in New York Fitness because it's very similar,

414
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: but it was more so funny of like the hierarchy.

415
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: Of working in a gym.

416
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: Again, I'm like wow, and then like things like just

417
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: like the micromanagement and you're like, oh my god, like

418
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: and I like because if you had your own business

419
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: and you go into it's like an institution like that,

420
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: I guess then you realize you're like, wait, there is

421
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: just like it's just the time wasting is just insane,

422
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: Like it's just a different thing.

423
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: So leaving a gym like that and then going on

424
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: in your own has got to feel a little bit intimidating.

425
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: It was terrifying, it really was.

426
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: I had one of those moments where I'm like, Okay,

427
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: well I'm going to give it six months.

428
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: Okay, because I really was it was a lot. So

429
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, I'm going to give it six months.

430
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: This maybe fitness is not my thing, Maybe this is

431
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: my time to leave fitness. Maybe because I was just

432
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: I was not like hating on it, but I was

433
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: like really wanted to start sweat with back, but I'm like, okay,

434
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to give it six months. If I mess

435
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: up or if i feel like I'm not getting aywhere,

436
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: then you know what, maybe like maybe management's more my thing.

437
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I'll like do that. And so

438
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: then I was like, Okay, I'm going to go like

439
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: balls to the wall for the next six months, and

440
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: I'm giving it my absolute everything, because I'm someone that

441
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: I can't have a what if with anything in my life.

442
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to tick that box. I can't

443
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 2: like it just it kills me. So I'm like, Okay,

444
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm getting it literally everything. If it doesn't work, I

445
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: can say I've absolutely tried my best, but I need

446
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: to give it that six months.

447
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: So then tell me a little bit about what those

448
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: six months looked like for you.

449
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: Those six months were a lot of me tearing my

450
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: hair out, a lot of me being like I got this,

451
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: but I don't got this.

452
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: There's a lot of guess work.

453
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: I've never had help with anything like that, so it's

454
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: all just doing it by myself and just hoping for

455
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: the best.

456
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: I'm like a hustler.

457
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: It was like basically I was brought up that way,

458
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: like that was how we were brought up. So I

459
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: was bartending while I was personal training, while I was

460
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: doing everything else, and I was just like, this is

461
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: going to work.

462
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: It just has to work, right, Wow, So early mornings

463
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: and leet mates, oh, everything. Yeah, and where were you

464
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: training clients at this point?

465
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: I was training clients in Tribeca, like at a private

466
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: fit to studio, and then I was also training out

467
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: of people's apartments, so I would got a lot of

468
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: my clients were through referrals because everyone was obviously I'm

469
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: good at what I do, come on.

470
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: But so I have a lot of really good referrals,

471
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 3: which is great.

472
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: So I was going to people's apartments around Tribeca West

473
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: Village and things like that.

474
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: And at the time, were you sticking with a lot

475
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: of this resistance band tape training that you had started with?

476
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: No, So it's funny.

477
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: I actually I was doing it, but I hadn't made

478
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: my beooty bands at this point. Okay, so it was

479
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: around this time I decided to create the booty bands.

480
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: At this point, I was doing a lot of like

481
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: old school strength training, a lot of hit and things

482
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: like that.

483
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: So, yeah, what.

484
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: An overwhelming idea to think I want to make some

485
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: bands that are my own And how do you even

486
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: think about who to reach out to you to do that, like,

487
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: did you work with someone to do the branding? I mean,

488
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: at this point we're sweat with back like a true

489
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: thing yet, So so.

490
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: With Beck was a true thing.

491
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: I've always had my website that's been up for like

492
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: eight nine years now, so okay, and it's always been

493
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: very fun and sassy. I've always had my Instagram because

494
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: that was like my little side project for me. And

495
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: everyone's like, there's no point putting effort into Instagram, Beck,

496
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: It's a waste of time, and I'm like, okay, cool.

497
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: I was like, I like it. So I've always had

498
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: that just sticking along.

499
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: The branding and everything that's completely me. I love copywriting.

500
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: It's like a real like I absolutely love it.

501
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: I love back in the day when I attempted to

502
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: go to college, I did payr for like a year,

503
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 2: and I loved that. I've always loved that realm, you know.

504
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: I love branding. I love all that, like creating an

505
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: experience like that's always been my jam. It's just so

506
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: much fun for me.

507
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 3: So this was a really good way to have that

508
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 3: creative outlet. Because I was always an art student.

509
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: I was always doing like random things like that, so

510
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: it was kind of nice to actually be able to

511
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: incorporate that into my fitness job in So.

512
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: That was good.

513
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, so then who do you even reach out to?

514
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: You to say, hey, you want to help me make

515
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: some bands?

516
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: You literally reach out to every single person on Google

517
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: you can find for probably like I don't know, two years,

518
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: and you're like literally just like cold, like.

519
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: Every single person possible.

520
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

521
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, but it worked out, So that's good.

522
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean I can only imagine, like how do you

523
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: even vet someone to know.

524
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 3: That's exactly it?

525
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: The amount of samples and then like the amount of

526
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 2: samples of like okay, we've finally got the thickness. Cool,

527
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: Now who can print on this?

528
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Oh?

529
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: Wait, you can't print on this? Oh the letters are

530
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: going to fall off after.

531
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: Like two weeks of use, and so like the road

532
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: testing of trying to find a printer that can print

533
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: and it stays while it's because they're stretched so much

534
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: without the cracking and without all that stuff.

535
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: That was just like it's a lot, a lot.

536
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: But for me, it was like it was a project

537
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: and I'm like I don't care. I'm just going to

538
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: start off making a hundred I don't know any money,

539
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: but it's going to be worth it. And so I

540
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 2: made like such a small run of one hundred, but

541
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm like okay, and then as soon as I've sell those,

542
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: I'll have enough money for the next lot, and then

543
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: I can buy more and then that's how that begain.

544
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: All right, So fast forward about four and a half

545
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: years or so. Your body starts to talk to you

546
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: a little bit.

547
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's.

548
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: Talk about that.

549
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: So I the Evans were really successful.

550
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: Things were great. I started teaching classes. I'd never been

551
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: a group fitness person. I'd always been that typical trainer

552
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: where I'm like, I'm a personal trainer, ew group fitness

553
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: because that's basically how you brought up as a trainer,

554
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: which is really funny.

555
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: Or it's like a strength coach. So I started doing

556
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: group fitness. I loved it.

557
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: It was so good, and it's also a way to

558
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: like teach people how to use my band, and like,

559
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: obviously then people are going to buy more bands, so

560
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: that makes sense. So it was perfect for all the

561
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 2: branding side of things. So I was doing five classes

562
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: a week and then I was also teaching forty five

563
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 2: personal training sessions a lease, right, class was trying to

564
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: like do everything else and then like have a life.

565
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: I definitely didn't have a life, you know then or

566
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: occasionally like have a crazy blowout and they'd be like, great,

567
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: now I feel like shit. So it's like there like

568
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: that one extreme to the other all the time. So

569
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: I was definitely running myself down. But it was definitely

570
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: the fittest I've ever been. I was like, oh my god,

571
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: I feel superhuman. I was in a really good place.

572
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: I was so happy with how like, like how I

573
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 2: looked wasn't even an issue ever, because I'm like, oh,

574
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm fit all the time.

575
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: This is amazing me. And I never, like never to

576
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: worry about it.

577
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: Like it was just a really good headspace because I

578
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: think being in fitness particularly, that's something that comes up

579
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: all the time of how you're looking and whether you're

580
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: booking shoots or whatever. And then I started getting injured

581
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: like a lot. So I was doing about like two hours.

582
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: Exercise a day. So the classes were great, that was fine.

583
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 2: It was more so that in my own personal training,

584
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: I was doing less strength and I was doing more hit.

585
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just started to affect me.

586
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: So it started off with a broken foot, which was

587
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: happened I think November to what two years ago, twenty seventeen, seventeen, and.

588
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 3: That was yeah, that was just like, oh God, I

589
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 3: would jump in my class.

590
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 2: I have to do this, I have to do that.

591
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: So I do like a moon boot first eight weeks,

592
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: which killed me. And then on the day, but I

593
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: was so committed to the moon boot, which was not

594
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: a cute look at all.

595
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: Can I let you know?

596
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 2: It was terrible and it wasn't like an obvious moon boot.

597
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: It was like the marine boot that almost could be

598
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: a weird orthopedic shoe, so no one even knew that

599
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: you had one, so it was.

600
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: It was awful.

601
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: But I was so committed to the marine boot because

602
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't make this worse.

603
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 3: I need to get better.

604
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: And this is the first time I witnessed like injury

605
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: to that level where I'm.

606
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: Like, oh wait, this is now affecting my work. I

607
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: can't do things.

608
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: So then on the day I got my marine boot off,

609
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: I bulged a disc in my back because the marine

610
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: boot had made my hips uneven so badly. So as

611
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: soon as I tried to do something I like it

612
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 2: was just like walking.

613
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: I like bulged a disc in my.

614
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: Back and then that started a bit of a spiral

615
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: of injuries. And then I'm also really lucky sometimes, shall

616
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: we say. And so I was cooking. It was just

617
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: two weeks after the back. It's so stupid. I was

618
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: cooking and I had a knife and coconut because I'm

619
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: an idiot, and the knife slipped and went through my finger.

620
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: Geez.

621
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: So I like had that moment where like the knife

622
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: is through one end of the thing. I know, check

623
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: out that scar.

624
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: It's like that's a real star.

625
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 3: It's very real. And so I was sitting there and

626
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: I like had to pull the knife out, and I'm like,

627
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is awful. But then I'm also

628
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: I remember grabbing my phone.

629
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: Like like looking at my dog and he's like what

630
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: are you doing and I'm like I don't know. And

631
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: then I remember grabbing my phone and I'm being like

632
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: I have no one to call.

633
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 3: I am so alone.

634
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

635
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: I was like, So it was that real moment.

636
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: You're just like, holy shit, what the hell is Like

637
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: my body's falling apart.

638
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: I don't need anybody to call and be like take

639
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: me to emergency. I have no idea what to do.

640
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm Astralian and I've never been injured before in America.

641
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: I don't have health insurance becase I'm an idiot, so

642
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm just like, ah, sorry, that was just like a time.

643
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: So it's just one thing after another. So there I was.

644
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: I can't lift in a thing, I can't walk, I

645
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: can't jump, I can't run, so I can't even do

646
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: like Kadia.

647
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 3: I like literally can'tjoinn a thing.

648
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 2: So then that's when I really got into save It eight,

649
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: which is a game changing it for me.

650
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: A quick break to give my sponsor, Athletic Greens a

651
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: little bit of love. Been traveling all over the place,

652
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, and let me tell you, Athletic

653
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: Greens is a lifesaver. I feel like obviously, as you know,

00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,399

667
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: Let's get back to it. First of all, holy crap,

668
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: I have like chills down my spine thinking about like

669
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: this idea of pulling a knife out of my own finger. Awful. Also,

670
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many different things to come in

671
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: on that entire story. First and foremost, the idea of

672
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: feeling alone living in New York. I think a lot

673
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: of people actually experience that constantly. And obviously you came

674
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: here from very far away, but it is like the

675
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: biggest but also most lonely city. Sometimes when you are

676
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: looking for help and you don't know who to call,

677
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: and it goes back to this idea of like wanting

678
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: to be able to take care of yourself. I also

679
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: think that sometimes you don't realize how scary it is

680
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: to live alone until something goes wrong. Yeah, you guys,

681
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: it's like the freedom, the freedom of living around, the

682
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: freedom of living around. I didn't talk today. I'm so overwhelmed.

683
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: But it's like, I don't need anybody. I'm fine, I'm

684
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: a bus babe, I'm good. And it's like, no, no,

685
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: sometimes you know what we Disneyed.

686
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: People, Yeah, you really need someone to help you go

687
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: to the hospital. So yeah, I can totally relate to

688
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: this idea of not wanting anybody's help ever, even when

689
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: you're until you really realize that you need it. Also,

690
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: this idea that your body is your money maker is

691
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: so scary, and you telling me that you don't have

692
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: health insurance makes me even more scared. That was just

693
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: do you have now? Okay? I think we actually talked

694
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: about this when you're shopping. Can I tell you when

695
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: I months ago was looking for my own health insurance.

696
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: I was posting about it on Instagram. And so many

697
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: people that are in the fitness space and entrepreneurs who

698
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: need to be on something like Obamacare find their own

699
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: health insurance as that part like without a marketplace of

700
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: being in a place of employment, it's so overwhelming, and

701
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: it's also so expensive, which is the reason why I'm

702
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: sure maybe at the time you didn't even have health

703
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: insurance begin.

704
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: With no, because it's just it is so expensive. Yeahasy,

705
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: and it's like and also like, I think I don't

706
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: understand that. I still barely understand the systems here of

707
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: like your cutoff dates and everything. Yeah, so two years

708
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: in a row, I've missed the cutoff date and then

709
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, well, too bad now, and I'm like, wait,

710
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: that was it. I didn't realize because I was like

711
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 2: either traveling with work or so over committed and not

712
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: thinking that that was that important.

713
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: And so yeah, so you learning lessons, I guess.

714
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: And then you have to pay for everything out of

715
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: pocket and overwhelming I know. So Okay, so you are

716
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: coming back from injury, multiple injuries. So you're coming back

717
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: from multiple injuries. You're now slightly in debt because you

718
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: had to pay out of pocket for a lot of

719
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: things that you really needed.

720
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was interesting, But that was fine because

721
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, do you know what, it doesn't matter.

722
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: I've got this. I've got this. I've always been like

723
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: really good with my money. A big saver and then.

724
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: So I think we're in like January February, and now

725
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: I meet Jill, my business partner now business partner.

726
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: We were walking out dogs together. She owns Magic Mixed

727
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: US three.

728
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: And I was telling you how I've always made this

729
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: CBD chocolate and I really want to launch a CBD

730
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: chocolate and I think it's going to be a game changer.

731
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: And you were making you were making CBD chocolate at

732
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: home always. Okay, can we talk to the Hurdle listener

733
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: a little bit about CBD?

734
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: Okay, So CBD is it's from cannabis, so it's a

735
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: non psychoactive part of cannabis.

736
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: So you've got cannabis. It's THHC and CBD.

737
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: So this is the oil it's been extracted, so it's

738
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: not going to get your heighth it's just going to

739
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: chill you out. So it's really good for anti anxiety inflammation,

740
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: which is what I was using it for pain relief.

741
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: And kind of what I realized when I was taking

742
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: it every day, which was crazy to me because I

743
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: was taking it for pain, that all of a sudden

744
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: I had this air of mental clarity and I was

745
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: not expecting that at all. So I was taking like

746
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: like for me, and everyone's dosage is very different as well,

747
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: because we've all got different tolerances. So for me, i

748
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: was having like thirty five milligrams in the morning, thirty

749
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: five at night. And what was funny is I've like always.

750
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: I'm not like, I'm like, I'm chill. I'm Australian. I

751
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: don't get anxiety. What are you talking about.

752
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: I'm so chill. I've just got a lot on. I'm

753
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: just really busy. I've just got a lot on. I've

754
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: just got like twenty things to do today. And then

755
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, my mind's like panic talking because

756
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily anxiety. I'm not going to have a

757
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: panic attack. I'm just do list anxiety as far as

758
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: like I can't mess up.

759
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: I've just got to get everything done.

760
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: So that is what used to get me really like

761
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: kind of hyped up in this level. I'm like, I

762
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: just need help focusing. Maybe I've got ADHD, I don't know.

763
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: And so having CBD every day was crazy because after

764
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: a week of it, I'm like, wait, I'm thinking so

765
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: much clearer. I've all of a sudden can process my

766
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: thoughts so much better. And I wasn't expecting that at all,

767
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: and so now I'm like, wait, everyone needs to have this,

768
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: like everyone in their lives.

769
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: So that's why I'm pushing CBD.

770
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: Basically, when you first started taking CBD, how did you

771
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: even know what it was? Where to find out? How

772
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: do people figure out what's in their CVD? Because it's

773
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: not very regulated, it's not very regulated.

774
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: It's very daunting.

775
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: For me.

776
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: I started looking into it because I was either it's

777
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: either like I had to get off percoset.

778
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: I could not take a pocost every day.

779
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: Right, Like that is not like the way of life.

780
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm like this, I'm like, yeah, I feel great, but

781
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't know about this. This is not good for me.

782
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want to have that many meds

783
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: all the time. So that's why I started getting into

784
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: the cannabis field. And it's been crazy, it's been good.

785
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So when you were making it, and I have

786
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: so many questions about CBD, So when you were making

787
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: it on your own at home, how did you even

788
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: know how much to use? Are you making larger batches?

789
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: It's trial and error. So for me, I've always made

790
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: my chocolate.

791
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: I've always made my protein bowls and things like that,

792
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: but it was just trying you start off small.

793
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: Okay.

794
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: So with CBDA, every single person has a different tolerance,

795
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: you know. So for some people, five milligrams could completely

796
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, I had the best sleep

797
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: of my life and I slept for twelve hours. Right,

798
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: that might be your tolerance. Afaron digest things differently, it's

799
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: so different. So for people that are new to the

800
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: CBD realm, what I would say is start very small.

801
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: You can always have more, do you know what I mean?

802
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: So it's like kind of like I would start on

803
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: a five milligram dose. That's why our chocolates are five

804
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: milligrams because it's kind of a gateway CBD item for

805
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 2: people that are new to the space.

806
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk a little bit about your chocolates.

807
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: You're making them in your kitchen, and when do you

808
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: realize that what you're making to help treat your own

809
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: inflammation and your own pain could be something that could

810
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: be beneficial to other people.

811
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: I had this real life bulb moment of the CBD

812
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: factor when I was just realized how much it was

813
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: helping me. And then when I met Jill, when we

814
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: were walking out dogs, We're talking about it, and I'm like,

815
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: I just I would love to make these peop Would

816
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 2: you want to do it together? We can use your facility. Let'

817
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: us do it as a little colab and see what happens.

818
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: And so that's how that started.

819
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: I think it's is it interesting for you because it

820
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: can be maybe unnecessarily controversial one.

821
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: Hundred percent, and I think it's kind of crazy.

822
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: But the fact that like, I give my mum CBD

823
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: and my grandmother CBD and they're like, and I've come

824
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 2: from a pretty like straight laced family when it comes

825
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 2: to things like that, and they're quite open to it.

826
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: I think it's sad that it's quite controversial. It really

827
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: is because it is such a game changer. My mum

828
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: has really terrible restless legs, like to the point where

829
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: they drive her crazy, and so they put her on

830
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: Parkinson's medication for restless legs and.

831
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: It's still not working.

832
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: But once you go on this medication, you can't really

833
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: go off it because it's like it messes with you

834
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 2: so badly. So she's been on this for like five

835
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: years and then so last year I gave her a

836
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: CBD and I'm like, no, let's get you on CBD,

837
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: but like crazy high doses. You can't get CBD in Australia.

838
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: You can barely get it. It's crazy and it's the

839
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: first time that now all of a sudden, her restless

840
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: legs are better and like that in itself, it's like

841
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: that's crazy people that have seizures or like what's it called,

842
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: like prone to epilepsy and things like that, Like that's

843
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 2: that completely.

844
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 3: Stops that, do you know what I mean?

845
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: So there's so many good benefits that medication can't do

846
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: epilepsy medication here you lose half your hair, Like that's

847
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: not that's not an answer, like so instead like it's

848
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: it's it should not be looked upon the way it is.

849
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: I sent people. I don't think.

850
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're making cbed chocolate with your girlfriend, Yeah,

851
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: as a little experiment. And what's this company called the Time?

852
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: It does a company have an name, just a side

853
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: shot name.

854
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: It's like it's a colab So it sweat with Becktime's

855
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: Magic Mix, which is the biggest mouthful ever. So but

856
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: it was really fun to once again get creative with

857
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: the branding and have fun with that. Like the packaging

858
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: and everything like that. Our packaging is beautiful and I'm

859
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: so proud of it. But it's been really fun that

860
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 2: the creative side was so fun. And so I think

861
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: when I'm doing all this, I'm realizing, wait, because obviously

862
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: I started doing this and I'm like, this has to work,

863
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: because I realized I needed another hustle that wasn't reliant

864
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: on my body. Yeah, so I couldn't even post a

865
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: booty band video on my Instagram anymore because I could

866
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: not do them because I was I literally couldn't do anything, okay,

867
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: and so yeah, so that's why we started talking about that.

868
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: Then I think a month later, my back got worse

869
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: and I hern he added two discs and then one

870
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: of them was a sequestered fragment, so it broke off

871
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: into like five pieces into my spinal cord, meaning like

872
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: my nerve pain was like through the roof. So I

873
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: wanted to basically like saw my leg off, like and

874
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: my roommate over like one night, it's like coming out,

875
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 2: it's like three am, and she's.

876
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing?

877
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: And I'm like lying on my back on the like

878
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: with my feet up on the couch, being like trying

879
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: to find any position possible that I can fall asleep

880
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 2: in because I'm I'm literally going crazy. I think got

881
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 2: to like three weeks of like twenty minutes sleep at night,

882
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 2: Like I was a mess.

883
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 3: It was in so much pain.

884
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: And after seeing like I was just basically ubering to

885
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: chiropractice and doctors, amazing.

886
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: Chiropractor actually Matthew Devoux, anybody he needs one, He's the best.

887
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 2: And then after much back and forth, the only answer

888
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: was going to be surgery.

889
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: And again, being someone that was so dependent on your

890
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: body beyond you know, the everyday task also for your livelihood,

891
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: that must have been a really big mental struggle.

892
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely was.

893
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: But what was funny about it, which maybe because I

894
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: discovered cebitting around the same time. Like like everyone like

895
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm generally emotional, Like I'm not completely heartless.

896
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 3: It's okay, but I'm.

897
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: Saying through this like back in the past, like a

898
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: year earlier, if you told me that I couldn't work

899
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: out for twenty four hours, I'd kind of get really

900
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: hantsy and almost like have a bit of a panic

901
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: attack because I love working out, like I fucking love it.

902
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: You I need that release for me it's a stress reliever,

903
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 2: it's everything. So to actually be told that you can't

904
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: work out now for three months and I didn't actually

905
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: get upset. I got more upset on a vacation for

906
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: not working out for twenty forty eight hours than I

907
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: did in the entire time through my spinal surgery, which

908
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: for me blows my mind because I'm a full on psycho.

909
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: Every ex boyfriend I ever had a life, yeah, you've

910
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 2: got a problem with working out. I'm just so addicted

911
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: to that feeling. So to go from that to not

912
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: being able to work out was crazy. But actually how

913
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: I coped with it mentally was also kind of crazy.

914
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 2: It was a real self awakening, like, oh wait, I'm

915
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: a lot stronger than I think I am. But also

916
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: I think when, as we would say, when shit really

917
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 2: hits the fan and you have no choice, you kind

918
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: of body goes into that mode of like damage control

919
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: and you're like, this is what I can do.

920
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: That's fine. I'm just going to make the best of it,

921
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

922
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally hear you. I totally also share

923
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: that mentality that when I can't work out, I kind

924
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: of go into panic mode. I think it's really impressive

925
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: that you did what you could with what you had,

926
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: instead of letting that kind of anxiety trigger some bad

927
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: habits or just i mean, put you emotionally in a

928
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: bad place. I really genuinely want to say that I

929
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 1: would have handled it the same way, but I can't

930
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: for sure you go through something like that.

931
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: Honestly, if you'd asked me, I would never say I

932
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: would have handled it like that at all. Yeah, but

933
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: even down to like the weight gain side of things,

934
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 2: let's get really real, Okay, I can't work.

935
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: Out my whole body is my whole job? Is my body?

936
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: You mean? And what you look like and this and that,

937
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: and yes, we're all about being body positive.

938
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 2: At the same time, I'm paid a lot of money

939
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: if I look a certain way, do you know what

940
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: I mean? So then all of a sudden, I've gained

941
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 2: twenty pounds. There's nothing I can do about it. But

942
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 2: that in itself was weird. I was laughing with my

943
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: girlfriend saying it was almost like I was like being pregnant.

944
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 3: You have no control.

945
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: So as soon as you have no control, it's like, well,

946
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 2: I can't work out, I can't do anything about it. Yes,

947
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 2: I've gained weight, but it's fully not my fault and

948
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: it's like, there's nothing I can do about it. It

949
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: puts a really different spin on it in your head

950
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: and you're okay with it. And so now coming out

951
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: of all this, like my friends will say, I'm in

952
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: the best head space they've ever known me as like that,

953
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: I will say, and I laugh about it that like

954
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: spinal surgery is the best thing that ever happened to me.

955
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 3: It really was, because I'm so much more chill.

956
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm like like, yeah, I'm still overweight, Like I'm still

957
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 2: like fifteen pounds heavy.

958
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what I was. I don't care. It's fine.

959
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy with who I am like, and it

960
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 2: just makes such a difference to how you're mentally hold

961
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: out to look kind everything, And it's like, do you know,

962
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it doesn't actually matter, right,

963
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? I know, I'm like working

964
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 2: my ass off and I'm trying my absolute best. I'm

965
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 2: like I've got fifty side hustles because that's who I am.

966
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: I will always be that person. And it's been great. Yeah.

967
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you mentioned before the power of affirmation. So

968
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: are there other are there any other types of mental

969
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: exercises or anything that you do on a regular basis

970
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: to kind of keep that inner voice in check.

971
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: I think affirmations are so key. I think it's really

972
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: even Like I remember, I'd wake up in the morning.

973
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: Be like I just don't want to go to work.

974
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 3: I'd like, like, you know, this is the mental thing

975
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 3: of like.

976
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh, it's just gonna suck typical.

977
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: I remember one day being like, today is gonna be

978
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: fucking amazing, and I was like, I was like so

979
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 2: deadpan faced, but I'm like, no, say it, just fucking say.

980
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: And so it is that thing of like that con

981
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 2: know it sounds crazy, It's that constant repetition to yourself.

982
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: So now it's like and I have a joke with

983
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: like my roommate and everything that it's like, Today's going

984
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: to be amazing, no matter what, even no matter how

985
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 2: salty and shitty I am on the inside or hungover

986
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: or whatever the hell it may be, or I know

987
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: today's gonna be a nightmare, and I'm basically not going

988
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: to sit down for eighteen hours straight. It's to wake

989
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: up and just be like, today is going to be amazing.

990
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: Because if you even just tell yourself that from the

991
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 2: get go. It makes such a difference because you can't,

992
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 2: no matter what type of shitty mood you're in, you

993
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: can't say today's going to be amazing in about and

994
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: like it not crack you up because it's funny because

995
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 2: you don't feel that at all.

996
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 3: But it's fine. I mean, it's kind of getting yourself

997
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: into that headspace before you even start.

998
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: I'm also a like chronic manifesto, like I really am.

999
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: I almost feel like it's a superpower at the moment,

1000
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 2: So I will channel it to you, guys, don't worry

1001
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: about I could use it. I got you, I got you.

1002
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 2: But I'm all about like creative visualization, so like really

1003
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: talk about things in my head like they are happening

1004
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: and it's past tense and it's already happened, and just

1005
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: like focusing on it like it's happening and it's going

1006
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: to be amazing.

1007
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't it if there's no other option?

1008
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 1: Can you give me an example, I feel like there's

1009
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: a spoiler alert ahead or something.

1010
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: No oh, like things like it happened, but like things

1011
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: like the chocolate or like the visa for example, Like

1012
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 2: I was crazy with that and my whole family, and

1013
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: everyone thought I was fully nuts, and I'm like, even

1014
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: when I want it, they're like it's fake. I'm like, no, no,

1015
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: it's real. But even down to like working with certain brands,

1016
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm like.

1017
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 3: This is a goal. This is such a goal. This

1018
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 3: is such a goal.

1019
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: And like like when I when I first did my

1020
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: personal training set, I'm like, oh my god, if I

1021
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: could one day work it somewhere like such and such,

1022
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 2: that would be the dream.

1023
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: And I got the job. Then I was like, say,

1024
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 3: when I moved here, I'm like, oh, I just want

1025
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: to like Equinox. I've got to work at Equinox. I've

1026
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: got a job at printing house.

1027
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: Things like really setting goals for myself on my inside.

1028
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 3: I don't tell anybody these things.

1029
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: Now, I like saying it out loud because I'm like,

1030
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: it's kind of funny to like, because then when it

1031
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: does happen, I'll be like, hey, remember when I said that,

1032
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, I got it.

1033
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 1: And also saying it out loud helps you stay all sometimes.

1034
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: Definitely, And that's why I think I've also learned to

1035
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: not keep anything, as you know, very much an oversharer

1036
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: I can't keep anything to myself about myself, do you know.

1037
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 3: What I mean?

1038
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: And that's fine, and I just I think it's healthy,

1039
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 2: Like I don't think some people are way too secretive

1040
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: with like projects they're working on or what they're doing.

1041
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: And I think, particularly being an entrepreneur as you know

1042
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: as well, I think the best way to succeed in

1043
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 2: this field is to share. And the more you share,

1044
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: Like I could be talking about something I'm working on

1045
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: and you might be like, wait, I've got a friend

1046
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: of a friend that can help you, and you don't

1047
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 2: realize how many doors that opens so many people, Like

1048
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 2: I'm working on something, but I don't want to tell

1049
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 2: you yet, just in case you copy. And it's what

1050
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: really like a week child, Like there's enough space for everyone.

1051
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: There really is, So it's kind of to work collaboratively

1052
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: and build people up rather than like we're not against

1053
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: each other.

1054
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. When I sat down with Christy, God, so

1055
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: this is so long ago now, but Kirsty was telling

1056
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: me along the same lines of just like there's no

1057
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: better feeling than being somebody else as cheerleader and showing

1058
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: up for the people that you care about. And if

1059
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: you feel if you feel some kind of way about

1060
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: somebody else's success, then usually that actually just says something

1061
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: about you. And maybe you're insecure about what you're doing

1062
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: or that you're not working hard enough, and you just

1063
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: have to show up and be happy.

1064
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 3: And that's the thing, and I think it's it's things

1065
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: should always be collaborative, so it should never be a

1066
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 3: competition at all.

1067
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 2: And I just it kills me because I speak on

1068
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: so many panels like doing, like seeing so many different

1069
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 2: things and talking about being an entrepreneur all the time,

1070
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: and the amount of people that still can't get that headspace.

1071
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's so sad, it is it is. Okay,

1072
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: So now where does the chocolate company sit? Because you

1073
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: were focusing on that a little bit while you were

1074
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: coming back from this injury. What was okay wait pause,

1075
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm so excited, storyteller.

1076
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 3: I've got so many things.

1077
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: No, it's cool, it's cool. Okay. So at this point,

1078
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: what happens to your bod after this surgery? Like what's

1079
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: the recovery time?

1080
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: Like, yes, I have surgery.

1081
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: It was a lot, so I couldn't do anything at

1082
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 2: all for about two months or so, and then I

1083
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: was allowed to use the standmaster, which was like finally

1084
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 2: some things like it's.

1085
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: A big deal. Yeah, and then yeah, I recovered very well.

1086
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 3: I really did.

1087
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: But essentially I don't have a disc L four L five,

1088
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: so I didn't get a spinal fusion. I just got

1089
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 2: the particles like taken out. So instead that means that

1090
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: I can't do anything. So I can, but I can't

1091
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 2: like I can't really do hit training. Again, I can't

1092
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: really run because when I run, I'll feel a bit

1093
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: of a tweak in my back. So I still have

1094
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: two herniated discs. Now I've just trained. I now train differently.

1095
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 2: I trained smarter. I'm also thirty two. There's no reason

1096
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: for me to do two hours of exercise a day,

1097
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 2: like there really isn't. My body is not equipped for that.

1098
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 2: But I am not necessarily born an athlete, do you

1099
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Yeah, so that does not come

1100
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 2: natural to me. So I think for my body particularly,

1101
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: I can't do that. And that's okay, do you mean,

1102
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: like it's not who cares?

1103
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 3: It's fine?

1104
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,959
Speaker 1: What happened to those forty five clients? You had a week?

1105
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: We chat occasionally, so I've given them. I've like kind

1106
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 2: of dispassed them to trainers that I recommended. I've kept

1107
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: about like it's maybe like eight sessions a week. I

1108
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 2: still do those, and then I'll do like guest sessions

1109
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: with certain people and things like that.

1110
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: Right, but it was hard, and you're still teaching group classes.

1111
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm back teaching group fitness finally, which is great.

1112
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: I've cut that down a lot as well, so I'm

1113
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: only doing twice a week now instead of five times

1114
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: a week, and then I'll do a lot of events.

1115
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: And then how do you feel?

1116
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 3: I feel pretty great, to be honest, I just know

1117
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 3: I need to be careful. Do you know what I mean? Yeah,

1118
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 3: Like it's just things happen, do you know what I mean?

1119
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: Like, and I think I've just got I'm more able

1120
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: to read my body than I was before. But like,

1121
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 2: for example, right now, I have a broken rib because

1122
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: I was coughing, Like are you kidding me?

1123
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell?

1124
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 2: But it's just like but it's kind of like okay.

1125
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 2: Usually I'd be like, oh, it's fine, I'll just like

1126
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 2: work out past it, but now I might no, just

1127
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: just listen, I just don't, you know what I mean?

1128
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 2: So I'm just as you are broken red know.

1129
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 3: I don't even know.

1130
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: That's so sad.

1131
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 3: No, it's it's kind of funny. It's almost comical at

1132
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:06,479
Speaker 3: this point. That's great.

1133
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 1: I'm just slowly falling apart. Oh my god, you gotta

1134
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: be careful back no good. And then where is the

1135
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: chocolate sit now? Because you've done so much with that,

1136
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: I've seen it everywhere.

1137
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the chocolates.

1138
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 2: Now we've launched our business officially, it's go basic. So

1139
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: the whole thing is the only thing basic about us

1140
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: is our ingredients. Let's go basic, b extra. So I've asked.

1141
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: All the time, name your day on a plate, what's

1142
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 3: your ideal day? What should I eat? What should I eat?

1143
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like annoys me a little bit,

1144
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 2: like I get it, but it is a bit frustrating

1145
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 2: sometimes because essentially, like no fad diet is gonna work,

1146
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 2: like there's no there's no miracle this is. And so

1147
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 2: the whole thing was go back to basics. Don't eat

1148
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: things out of a packet, Like I'm a widow. I

1149
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: know I am, but like I've never ordered in seamless

1150
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 2: in my life, you know, I mean, And now I'm

1151
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: so stubborn.

1152
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: I will never order in seals. Yeah, and it's kind

1153
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 3: of like cook at.

1154
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 2: Home actually, like go back to real food, and so

1155
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,479
Speaker 2: that's how we started. We got the name Go Basic

1156
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: because it's bringing everything back to basics. All there are

1157
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: things are real ingredients. There's noble shit involved at all.

1158
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 2: It's things you can snacks, you can travel with because

1159
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: we travel so much as you do as well, and

1160
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 2: when we get to an airport or anything like that,

1161
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: there's no options, you know, and so there's no healthy

1162
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 2: snacking options for you when you're on the go, and

1163
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: if you're always on the go, it's just annoying.

1164
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hear that. Okay, so you have regular

1165
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: chocolates that come in a little package. You have what

1166
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: are you what kind of stuff do you have?

1167
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 2: So we've got our edibles, so it's the CBD chocolate.

1168
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 2: So right now we've got our regular flavor and then

1169
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: we just launched Rows and then we've got two new

1170
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: flavors coming out in the month, which is exciting. And

1171
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 2: then we also have protein balls nice so they're yeah,

1172
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: they're like.

1173
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 3: Raw, vegan, gluten free, paleo volcanic.

1174
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: All those millennials.

1175
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: And then we're actually about to launch our range of spreadables,

1176
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 2: which would be awesome.

1177
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 3: So wow, I know.

1178
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be jars of like spreadable edibles and

1179
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: then spreadable cookie dough, and like, I really feel like

1180
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 2: this might this might be a game changer.

1181
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: I'm like putting it out there now, guys.

1182
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: You can witness this right now.

1183
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: But it's it's like crack. I don't know how I've

1184
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 3: done it. I'm really wow.

1185
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: And these are all things that you're kind of crafting

1186
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: from the get go in your kitchen and messing around

1187
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: with them.

1188
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 3: Wow, and then forcing Jill to taste it and be

1189
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 3: like what about this? What about this? Let's do this.

1190
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: It's impressive that you've never ordered seamless? Is that a vert?

1191
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: Is that true?

1192
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 3: That's true?

1193
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: True?

1194
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 3: No, I know.

1195
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: And so now that I've now it's like that thing

1196
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 2: of like telling people to make me accountable.

1197
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 3: I will never ort to see what do you do?

1198
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: You just not eat if it's like really late and

1199
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 1: you're tired and there's nothing around.

1200
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: No I cook, No matter what, I will cook. So

1201
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a bit of a I think it's because

1202
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 2: my New York life is not real. Okay, our lives

1203
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: aren't in New York are ridiculous. It's a very not

1204
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: normal things, you know what I mean. So cooking is

1205
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 2: something for me that grounds me. It's a stress reliever,

1206
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 2: but it also makes me feel normal.

1207
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: You.

1208
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm traveling half the month all the time, and

1209
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 2: I'm always around, I'm running around like crazy and whatever.

1210
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I find out

1211
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: I can come home, I can cook, I feel normal.

1212
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 3: It's great. I still love anyhow, don't get me wrong.

1213
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 2: Like I'll lay it out like two or three times

1214
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: a week, but at the most part, I always cook,

1215
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: and I do like my weekly grocery shop.

1216
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a thing. It's a process, and I just

1217
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 3: need to stick with it.

1218
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: For someone who wants to be really healthy but feels

1219
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: like they have no time to prep anything, what would

1220
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 1: be like a couple of go to suggestions you would

1221
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: offer them if they're coming home at like eat thirty,

1222
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: they're zonked and they just need to make something okay.

1223
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 2: So honestly, I like, I have a couple of Instagram

1224
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 2: highlights about this because and I do it with the

1225
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: timer as well, Like I can do dinner in six minutes, okay,

1226
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: and everyone can do dinner in six minutes. So it's

1227
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: it's like basically, pick three vegetables, okay, you chop them

1228
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: up your pan, frying them in coconut oil.

1229
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 3: Then you're picking.

1230
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: Maybe two spices, one spice, doesn't even matter, covering it

1231
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: that sort, hanging them until they're like kind of brown.

1232
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 2: Then you're putting them aside, like so in a bowl.

1233
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 3: I love a bowl. I'm a big fan of a bowl.

1234
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: Guys, by the way, you're from Australia.

1235
00:50:58,840 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 3: We love that.

1236
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: So then it's so great. So veggies are done, they're

1237
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 2: sitting to the side. Then it's like two handfuls of

1238
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 2: spinach in a bowl, throw the veggies on top. Then

1239
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: if I'm being really lazy, I'll like crack two eggs, great,

1240
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 2: cook them.

1241
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 3: That's it done.

1242
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: Then it's like half an avocado sour kraut, and like

1243
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 2: that you're done.

1244
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 3: Wow, and it's actually delicious. But I like doing like

1245
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: little stories on Instagram to show.

1246
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 2: People how quick it is because with all my cooking

1247
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 2: and all my recipes, nothing no matter what, even when

1248
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 2: if people have for dinner, we'll take more than twenty minutes.

1249
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 3: It can't because cooking just can't take up that much time.

1250
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: Too.

1251
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: So then tell me, aside from cooking, how else do

1252
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: you release stress as someone that's constantly on the go.

1253
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 2: I think it would be Yeah, cooking obviously. Yes, Instagram's

1254
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: a bit of an outlet for me. Sometimes it's just

1255
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 2: kind of weird because it's just nice, like that creative element.

1256
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 3: I like it.

1257
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: And then working out. I still love working out, ye,

1258
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: but if I get out of New York. For me,

1259
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 2: it's like anything outdoors. I love the outdoors, so hiking.

1260
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 2: If I could hike every day, I'd be the happiest

1261
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: girl in the world.

1262
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 3: I love it so much.

1263
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. How's that on your back?

1264
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: Amazing?

1265
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, really good for my back.

1266
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 2: So I think that's why I'm now loving all these

1267
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: like non impact things.

1268
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: That's great, all right, So we're starting to wind down here.

1269
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: A question I love to ask people. If you look

1270
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: back right now on your last six years in New York,

1271
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: as you've been building your brand, what would you say

1272
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: has been one of the best pieces of advice that

1273
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: someone has offered you.

1274
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: Oh that's such tough fun.

1275
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 2: Look, I think I was brought up with the mentality

1276
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: of like and this is literally words for my mother,

1277
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 2: like like literally like fuck, what everyone else thinks, as

1278
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: long as you're happy, healthy and you're not harming yourself,

1279
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 2: we don't care.

1280
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 3: Like and you're like, as long as you're doing you're absolute.

1281
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: Whatever you do when you as you're growing up, or

1282
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 2: like when you know, when what I want to do

1283
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: when I grow up, whatever it is, It's like, if

1284
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: you want to be a garbage collector, you just be

1285
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 2: the best fucking garbage collector you can. And so it's like,

1286
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 2: whatever you do, make sure you're the best at it,

1287
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: and just keep working at it until you're.

1288
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 3: The best at it.

1289
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 2: But I've that has been like ingrained in me my

1290
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 2: entire life. I've always just I've just I have to

1291
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 2: do things. I won't release a product or do anything

1292
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 2: if I know it's not going to be the best

1293
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 2: on the market or it's not a contender for the

1294
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 2: best on the market, because why half as say anything.

1295
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 2: So I think that because it's been mentality I've been

1296
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 2: grown up with, has really stuck with me. Especially being

1297
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 2: in New York and being away from everyone and being

1298
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: in a city that hustles all the time. I think

1299
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 2: that's something that's really been major.

1300
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:31,959
Speaker 1: How often do you go back home?

1301
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: I try to go back once a year, but recently

1302
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 2: it's been more than that, So once or twice a year.

1303
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and now I'm assuming you have a little

1304
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: bit more of a community than you ed still here.

1305
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's for me, like this is more home than Australia.

1306
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: I love Australia, it will always be home, but New

1307
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: York is so home for me.

1308
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 3: I love it. It's great.

1309
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: You have an opportunity right now to offer the back

1310
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: who is suffering through three simultaneous injuries pretty much a

1311
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: piece of it. Base looking back on that hurtle moment, Now,

1312
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: what do you tell her?

1313
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 3: Uh, it's going to get so much worse.

1314
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: So you're really upset about a broken foot, right, Well,

1315
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 2: I was like because when I hurt my foot, I

1316
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: had that many like oh my god, this is awful.

1317
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 2: And I was more upset about my foot being broken

1318
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: than my spinal surgery because I had no idea that

1319
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 2: the spinal surgery was coming to right, So I think

1320
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 2: I would have told myself to just chill, it's gonna

1321
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: be fine.

1322
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 3: Because like, this's the best way to take it.

1323
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 2: And so I think maybe the pre injuries to the

1324
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 2: surgery really made me deal with the surgery so much

1325
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: better because I did not deal with those as well

1326
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: as I did the surgery.

1327
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: Right, Oh my god, I am. You're a little ball

1328
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: of injuries and you're broken rib and you're broken but

1329
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:47,959
Speaker 1: actually fine.

1330
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: But it's funny my whole life.

1331
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: Never I've never had an injury, so I think it's

1332
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: I guess I just heard it all in like the

1333
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: space of a year, which is fine.

1334
