1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: I think that so many people need to really embrace

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: their story and who they are, and I think that

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: is about being vulnerable, you know. I think whether it's

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: a story about being a single mom or maybe you know,

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you have, like and you're comfortable

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: telling those stories, especially if you're going the brand route

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: of yourself, like, really embrace that.

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,519

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: We go way back, but she has been on the

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: show before and after connecting for her podcasts, which are

77
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: going to have her talk to you a little bit

78
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: about to kick us off, I was.

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: Like, you know what, let's run it back now. Thank

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: you so much for having me. I'm really excited. But yeah,

81
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Beyond the Routine is a podcast that I have with

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: my husband, who is also a performance coach and he

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: works with high level athletes, and you know, we're both parents,

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: and we thought it would be fun to share our

85
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: personal life but also some of our expertise and how

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: it all intertwines in the podcast. And you know, we've

87
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: been really enjoying sharing some personal things but also integrating

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: that whole parenting and life aspect into it for sure.

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: Peach and the pit.

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: So far of podcasting, we're trying to get as many

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: episodes as you can on time.

92
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: It's so funny.

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a challenge because you know we're trying to

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: think of topics every week or guests, and you know,

95
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: thinking of guests, I feel like is actually the easiest

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: part because I have know so many wonderful people like yourself,

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: and you know, that's been really really fun. But it's

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: definitely been one of those things where we're like, oh,

99
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: we got to do this, but it's been really exciting

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: to share all of our stories with everybody.

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: And also a mother of two plus doing so many

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: other things within your business. Today, we're going to sit

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: down and talk about so many of the things that

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: you and I have both learned from embracing our inner

105
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: entrepreneur doing things that maybe we never anticipated. And so

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: before we get into it, i'd love if you could

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 2: give me a little bit of insight into what led

108
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: you down this road to being a full time entrepreneur,

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: online coach, and trainer.

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: I won't dive into deep. You can definitely check out

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: some of our previous episodes that are linked in the

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: show notes. But yeah, you know, I used to play

113
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: in a band full time, playing basics and spent really

114
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: late nights eating gas station food doing all of the things.

115
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: And you know, it wasn't until I went into a

116
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: fitness class with my roommate and worked out, and then

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: next thing, I know, I just loved and it was

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: obsessed with how working out made me feel. And then

119
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: I decided to be a trainer full time. It was

120
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: a long process, but I made it happen.

121
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Made it happen, and so you were then thrust into

122
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: a career of trying to figure out not only how

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: to make it happen, but then of course how to

124
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: make ends meet. Now, I know that life is very

125
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: different today than when you started out, and a big

126
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: part of that is being able to, let's say, differentiate

127
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: between your personal goals and your professional goals.

128
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: So let's talk a little bit about that.

129
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I a lot of it is less

130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: about the specific goal and like the achievement. It's more

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: about like, how do I want to split up my

132
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: time and in the future, what does that time look like,

133
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: especially now that I have kids, Like, is it do

134
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: I want to spend more time? Do I want to

135
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: spend a third of my day with them? Or do

136
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I want to spend two thirds of my day with

137
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: them and only work a little bit, which is what

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: I try to go for. You know, back when I

139
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: was single, it was like, Okay, I want to hustle

140
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: I and do all these things, and I had all

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: these different goals in mind. But when it comes to

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: actually figuring out what I want for myself, I ask

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: myself what I actually want my time to look like

144
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: and what I think the perfect day would look like

145
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: if I had everything I wanted. It's less about like

146
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: specific check marks or achievements. It's like, how do I

147
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: want to spend my day?

148
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: Interesting?

149
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: Okay, So how do you go about even concepting what

150
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: that split looks like?

151
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: I usually look at how I'm currently spending my time, okay,

152
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: and how I've spent my time over the past year,

153
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: and what were the most ideal things, and what were

154
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: things that I'd love to change, and where are the

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: things that I'm like, Okay, I have to do this

156
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: in order to make money or in order to feel

157
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: good on a day to day basis, whether it's like

158
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: meal prep and you know, all those things, because you know,

159
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: it's like some people could say, oh, well, I want

160
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: to get rid of meal prepping, but then you're not

161
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: going to stay healthy or whatever. It is that you

162
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: want or you know, just trying to figure out what

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: are the necessities and then figuring out what are the

164
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: things that I want to spend less of my time on.

165
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: And I think from there, I really go to figure

166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: out if I'm really clear on who I want to

167
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: serve in my job or in my app or whatever

168
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: it is that I'm working on, whether it be my

169
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: clients or on social and trying to make sure that

170
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to serve too many people. And I

171
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: really just hone in on that.

172
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: So I'm hearing two things here.

173
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: First and foremost, you do yourself a fever and you

174
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: do an exercise that I actually also love to do,

175
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: which is dividing up what you have going.

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: On into three columns.

177
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: It's the stuff that you're doing right now that you love,

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: the stuff that you're doing right now that's like, okay,

179
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 2: you don't mind it, and the stuff that you're doing

180
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: right now that you want to do less of that

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: you're like, this doesn't excite me. And in that produce

182
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: something else I love that you mentioned specifically with relation

183
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: to food prep. That example is maybe there's something that

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: you know that's important to you that you want to

185
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: have being a part of your life, but you don't

186
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: have the bandwidth to do it yourself. So then outsourcing

187
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: maybe something like that. Maybe that's an area where you're like, Okay,

188
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to invest some money in this because I

189
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: know that doing that will help me in the other

190
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: areas of my life. And the last thing that you

191
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: mentioned was doing an audit in real time of how

192
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: you're executing right, So it's not just like, Okay, here's

193
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: the bucket of I want.

194
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: To create items for social media.

195
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, I want to create items for social media,

196
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: and I want to make sure that I'm staying on

197
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: track with who it is that I want to serve.

198
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: So a lot of really really excellent takeaways there.

199
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. I know. And it's hard because you know,

200
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are very unclear of

201
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: what their brand is. And just because you don't your

202
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: brand your it doesn't mean you aren't a brand.

203
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: You are a brand.

204
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: You know, whether if you're going to a job and

205
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: you're interviewing for a corporate job, you are your brand.

206
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out how you can help them

207
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: and how you can serve them. So it you know,

208
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people aren't clear of that.

209
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: So you have to really ask yourself, what do you

210
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: want to be known for, what do you stand for?

211
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: And what are your values?

212
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: Oh? I love those three questions.

213
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: Okay, So then in the execution of setting goals upholding

214
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: boundaries between personal and professional, there is absolutely no doubt

215
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: in my mind that at some point guilt and shame

216
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: are going to creep in. Talk to me about what

217
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: your experience has been navigating difficult emotions when it comes

218
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: to highlighting things that excite you in both arenas.

219
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the guilt and shame aspect. It's it's

220
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: especially now as a mom. You know, I think my

221
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: priorities have shifted so much. Before it was like I

222
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: was so excited to do this, do show up this

223
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: and this and that, and like I realized all the end,

224
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: a lot of it was just ego. And what really

225
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: is important to me is what my kids think of me,

226
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: and what my husband thinks of me every single day,

227
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: and most importantly, how I feel about myself every single day.

228
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: And so it just making sure that I would stay

229
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: really in tune with that, and I think with mindfulness

230
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: practices and on journaling, practices. All those things help me

231
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: stay on top of those things. Instead of like looking

232
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: for those achievements or those titles from different companies to

233
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: help me feel like I mean something, it was more

234
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: about how I.

235
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: Felt about myself the whole time, and that's a really

236
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: hard place to get to. I love how you rounded

237
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: that out, not just with the opinions of your children

238
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: or your husband, but truly, how do you feel about

239
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: yourself every day? Because it's hard not to, especially when

240
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: you're someone like yourself that is active on social media.

241
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: It's hard not to wonder or have concerned over how

242
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: you're going to be perceived. But at the end of

243
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: the day, when you do that audit and you ask yourself,

244
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: how is it that I feel about my self when

245
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm by myself, that is the most important question that

246
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: you can answer in pursuit of whatever excites you.

247
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, something that I've really loved as

248
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: a practice too, is just, you know, not only seeing

249
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: where I want my time in the future, but where

250
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: I want to see my career. And it's not with

251
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: those achievements. It's like, what is the future me going

252
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: to be doing? And I think when it comes when

253
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: we're going back to the goal setting and trying something new.

254
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of people are having

255
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: a hard time like adopting a new identity or new standards,

256
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: and you know, you just keep doing the same thing

257
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: over and over, and you know, I think that becomes

258
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable for people because you know that contradicts what

259
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: you've already done. So imagining yourself where you want to

260
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: be in that future role, whether it's you want more

261
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: time for yourself and you see yourself as this other

262
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: amazing human that's very successful. Seeing yourself there and doing

263
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: all of the habits that get you there, get you

264
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: even closer to there, because I think a lot of

265
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: people just say, oh, I'm not going to get there,

266
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: or I can't even see myself there and what happens

267
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: from there? It just like you kind of do the

268
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: same thing over and over. So you have to kind

269
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: of like just like I'm very into the whole like

270
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: manifestation and you know, just seeing yourself where you are

271
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: in the future, so that everything you do step by

272
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: step now gets you there.

273
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: How does manifestation work for you?

274
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: I do a lot of just really deep meditations. It

275
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: took me a really long time to get there. I

276
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: think for a long time I was just I was

277
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: doing headspace ten minutes. Since twenty fourteen, been ten years

278
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: now ten minutes every day. But now I will straight up,

279
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: just like lay down, really just imagine myself in the

280
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: places that I want to be, whether it be these

281
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: opportunities like Singapore or Philippines, and just I guess the

282
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: way for me is I almost pretend like I'm these

283
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: people that I see that I look up to and

284
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: doing exactly what they're doing in that space, and I

285
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: feel like my body, I almost like embody that and

286
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: then my attitude everything that like I feel, everything I

287
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: say yes to, everything says is so much easier to

288
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: say no to whenever I know I'm going to be

289
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: acting like this person, but it's not. It doesn't mean

290
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: I want to be that person. It's just like the

291
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: things that they're doing. And then I figure out quickly,

292
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,479
Speaker 1: like if it's I don't know, Robin R's own amazing,

293
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: but she's super busy, she's doing all of these things,

294
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: and she's an amazing mom with two kids. But there

295
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that I probably wouldn't enjoy.

296
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't love new York like I the way her

297
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: lifestyle is, she's like, she's in a New York thing.

298
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: I think almost every single day. Like, there's certain things

299
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: that sometimes I'm like, Okay, I think that I want that,

300
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: But when I really truly embody it, it helps me shift

301
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: my goals a little bit.

302
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

303
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: I First of all, finding people that you admire, I

304
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: feel like is really helpful when it comes to identifying

305
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: the things that excite you, because it's not just that

306
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: you admire them, it's that they inspire you, right, So

307
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: what is it about them that really feels in line

308
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: with what it is that you want for yourself.

309
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: So that's a great question to ask.

310
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: And then the next thing that you do, which is

311
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: super helpful here, is to then align it with who

312
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: you are and what makes sense for you. So just

313
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: because in this example you admire Robin, it doesn't mean

314
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: that you're gonna literally emulate absolutely everything that she's doing. However,

315
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: as a fellow mother of two, also within the health

316
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: and fitness space, there are a lot of parallels that

317
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: can be drawn between the both of you. So it

318
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: makes complete sense that you are like, Okay, what would

319
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: make sense for me and how can I emulate that

320
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: on my side.

321
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. Yeah, It's been such an interesting journey, especially

322
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: since I have been in such big cities like Chicago

323
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: and LA and I always thought that that's where I

324
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: want it to be. But then once you know, I

325
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: met Nick, we moved to Texas. Like, I wake up

326
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: every single morning so happy and content with everything that

327
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: we have, having our space, going outside and joying the

328
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: sun and having a slow morning, and that's what we're

329
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: for me, you know. And I think that a lot

330
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: of people do that comparison game, and they think that

331
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: they want the life that they see in somebody else's life,

332
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: but then they actually put themselves there and they're like, wait,

333
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: I think what I like what I got going on

334
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: right now, or maybe I like this aspect of it,

335
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: and then I change a little bit here and there,

336
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: and you know, hey, some people might want to just

337
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: straight up move to New York and figure out what

338
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: that's like.

339
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: They might. They might.

340
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: The thing that I appreciate is this space that you're

341
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: in where you have such a firm grasp on what

342
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: feels right for you now. Was there a time where

343
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: you did struggle with the things that you thought that

344
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: you wanted versus what actually felt right.

345
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think especially when I went to Apple.

346
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: You know, I thought I was I was working with

347
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Nike for about eight years at that point, moved over

348
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: to Apple, and I remember thinking, oh my gosh, this

349
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: is it, Like, oh my gosh, I have security. I

350
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: have all of the things I've ever wanted. And then

351
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: when I had it, and I was like, no, I

352
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: already had it, you know, I already had the freedom

353
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: to do whatever I wanted at my own time. I

354
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: already had the capabilities of building my brand. But I

355
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: realized I just had to be really happy with what

356
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: I had already. Yeah, you know, And it was just

357
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: such a big learning experience for me to discover try

358
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: something new. I met a lot of amazing people there,

359
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I just realized, like, I want to

360
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: be able to do my own thing, and I don't

361
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: need that security. I don't need all of those things

362
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: to make me feel like that's what's going to make

363
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: me successful.

364
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

365
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: This is like a general discussion that I feel like

366
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: I have all the time offline, but it's very valuable

367
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: here as to again seeing something and being like that

368
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: looks like exactly what I need. And then experiencing it

369
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 2: and being okay with the fact that it isn't.

370
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: What you needed it at all.

371
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: Right, you can't get to this place of understanding until

372
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: you give yourself the agency to try. And so for

373
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: you to step into a role for the first time

374
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: in forever where you had benefits and PTO and you

375
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: could support your family in a different way, of course,

376
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: there was something so exciting about that. But what you

377
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: learned throughout that experience is although that it had benefits

378
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: and perks, for sure, without a doubt, you are the

379
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: type of person who can be secure with a lack

380
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: of regularity.

381
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: You're a true entrepreneur.

382
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I think it also took a

383
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: lot of courage to leave. I think it was very

384
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: scary to leave, especially at that point I had a

385
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Luna and Nick and I were like okay, well, okay,

386
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: well let's just do it. And you know, having a

387
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: partner that really supported me in that was a was

388
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: a really big thing too, because you know, if I

389
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: was by myself, I probably just would have done it,

390
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: like no, like they didn't think twice about it. But

391
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: having him and him at the time not having like

392
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: a secure job as well, it was just more like entrepreneurship,

393
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: just kind of doing the entrepreneur thing. You never know

394
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: what you're going to make, and so whenever I said, hey,

395
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do this anymore,

396
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: he was like, cool, let's figure it out. We always

397
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: figure it out.

398
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a common question that we ask with in

399
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: life coaching, like what's the worst thing that's going to happen?

400
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: In ninety nine point nine percent of the time, the

401
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: worst thing that's going to happen is that you're just

402
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: exactly where you started.

403
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: Right.

404
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: So by saying that and thinking that through, depending on

405
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 2: the situation, of course, you have an opportunity then to

406
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 2: be like, oh, it really isn't that bad. And I

407
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: also love having a partner that supports you and as

408
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur.

409
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: Let's dig into that a little bit.

410
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: What it's like for the two of you to kind

411
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: of find stability together within the instability.

412
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: How does that work in your family?

413
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, you know, people always like people that are

414
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: very close to us that know both of us are

415
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: always like you too. You guys are hilarious because we

416
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: literally like if like, we'll just we just trust our gut.

417
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: We've both been gut people ever since we were we

418
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: were little. And I think while that can be very

419
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: day at times, it hasn't screwed us yet, not kind

420
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: of would, but you know, there are plenty of times

421
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: where we just have to, you know, just work as

422
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: a team, and we know that we're working together no

423
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: matter what, and when never working against each other. Every

424
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: decision that we make, we we know that it's for

425
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: the benefit of our family. And if the reason is like, hey,

426
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I want more time with the kids, I don't want

427
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: to work as much, or I want this or that,

428
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: like we'll say, okay, cool, figure it out. Maybe I

429
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: need to pick up a few more clients or this

430
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: and that, or figure out what other projects that can

431
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: work out to make more money. But you know, I

432
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: think we just see where we want to be, and

433
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: we talk about our goals every single day, not even

434
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: just goals, but just talk about where we are. We

435
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: have like assessments of everything, I would say almost every day,

436
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: And I think just a big thing for both of

437
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: us is just like really being grateful for everything we

438
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: have because a lot of people, I think, you know,

439
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: if they don't have a lot, they wish that they

440
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: had more, and I'm truly in that a bunch and

441
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: it's mindset. The more that you see what you have

442
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: and you're grateful for it, the more that comes to you.

443
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: And you know, we both are in that world of service,

444
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: and we know that the more we serve others and

445
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: the more that we give to others, the more that

446
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: we'll we'll get naturally.

447
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: What do regular assessments look like for you?

448
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: After we put the kids down, Like Nick will go

449
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: outside and like have some relaxing time and then I'll

450
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: like text them. I'll be like, hey, you got a minute,

451
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: and so he'll come inside and we literally would just

452
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: like sit there and talk about what what our day

453
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: looks like, what the week is look like, what his

454
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: clientele look like, what are the next few months look like?

455
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: And you know, we never go that deep every day,

456
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: but you know, typically it's like every day is more

457
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: like a what's what's tomorrow look like, what's the next

458
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: what's the weekend look like? And some you know, we

459
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: are very busy. You know, we have the kids in

460
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: the morning, we try to spend time and whenever we're

461
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: with the kids, we don't try to talk about work.

462
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: And it's also very hard to talk about work around

463
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: the kids because they want your attention. But you know,

464
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: we're we're very big on making sure we're just on

465
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: the same page. So at the end of the day,

466
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: what happened today, What is something that you're worried about,

467
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: what's coming up for the week?

468
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's show to talk to you

469
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: about the thing I cannot imagine my last two weeks without,

470
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: and that is Element. You all have heard me talk

471
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: about Element before. It's an electrolyte drink mix that's got everything.

472
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: You need and nothing that you don't.

473
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: And it is my bff, especially wall training for an

474
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: endurance event and traveling too. And that's because hydration isn't

475
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 2: just about drinking water. Being optimally hydrated is about optimizing

476
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: your body's fluid ratios, and that fluid balance depends on

477
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: so many factors, including the intake and extretion of electrolytes.

478
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: Element has no dodgy ingredients that are found in many

479
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: of the sports drinks you might be buying at your

480
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: local bodega or convenience store. And it's absolute slutely delicious.

481
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: My favorite flavor the watermelon salt. But they've got so

482
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: many good ones to pick from Orange Chocolate, which makes

483
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: a bomb hot chocolate in the colder months, citrus and

484
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: so much more. Of course, they are giving hurdlers a

485
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: deal to get a free sample pack so you can

Speaker 2: drink lmnt dot com slash hurdle to get yours today.

489
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: So to go back to what we started our conversation

490
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: talking about, when it comes to kind of dividing your

491
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: time or setting goals between personal and professional in your

492
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: day to day audit of what's going on, do you

493
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: feel as though you're paying attention to where you are

494
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: putting most of your efforts.

495
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

496
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think everything goes in seasons. Two you know,

497
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: like as of late, I've been working on launching my app.

498
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: So like when our nanny is here, I'm like, I

499
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: gotta get outside and do all this stuff for the app.

500
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm working like twelve to five. Usually when she's here,

501
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: I might go inside and play with the kids for

502
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: a little bit, come outside, you know, do a few things,

503
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: come back in answer a few emails. So it just

504
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: comes in season. So like we have the communication of like, hey,

505
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: I'm at like ten percent right now, I need you

506
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: to pick up the other ninety percent because I'm just

507
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: I'm just not feeling it right now. And so that

508
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: has been really big for us. Like, for example, Nick

509
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: woke up this morning, I got my workout in, so

510
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: we had to take care of the kids and oh,

511
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: so it was just on another level and he and

512
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: then his coffee maker thing wasn't working, so and then

513
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: he was just like I'm at and like we communicate this.

514
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: He's like I'm at ten percent, Like I really I

515
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: need you to pick up the other night. So I

516
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: was like, all right, let's let's go do so that

517
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: I'm dancing around for the kids, trying to make everyone happy.

518
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: And you know, we we're really good at sensing it

519
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: from each other, but we're also even better at explaining

520
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: it to each other. Like you know, it could it

521
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: could go the way like oh, I'm like, oh man,

522
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: he's so cranky, what's his deal? But instead I'm like, oh,

523
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: I think he might eat something. So I ask him like, hey,

524
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: where are you at right now? What's going on? And

525
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: He'll be like I just need a little help, you know,

526
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: I think communication more than anything.

527
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: Was there a point where you established this model within

528
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: your family? I think that this is applicable, of course,

529
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: beyond a family unit, right in so many relationships. If

530
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: you got to a place where you felt comfortable enough

531
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: to communicate what's really going on. I say that knowing

532
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: that there is difficulty sometimes with admitting when you feel

533
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 2: like you can't handle everything. So was there a certain

534
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: experience or something that taught you the importance of this

535
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: communication and how did you get over some of that

536
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: guilt that comes with not being at a hundred.

537
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think that just just being thrown

538
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: in with kids was definitely the biggest, you know, the

539
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: biggest wake up call, well, you know, just being like okay,

540
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: like we can't just be overwhelmed all the time. Someone

541
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: has to pick up the slack. And I think it

542
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: was I don't remember who we saw, but we saw

543
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: somebody else doing this on Instagram, one of the many

544
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: good things about Instagram. Someone was talking about on their

545
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: podcast and how they do that. And ever since we

546
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: saw that, we were just were like, you know what,

547
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: this is what we need to do because there'll be

548
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: so many times where we're just like aha, I get

549
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: just chaos. And it was just like that moment where

550
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: we're like, this is like a good thing for us

551
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: to see when we're not stressed, So we knew that

552
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: when we were stressed we can apply it because I

553
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of people they try to talk about

554
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: things when they're stressed or what there is chaos, but

555
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: you have to like really talk about those things when

556
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: there's a controlled environment.

557
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like that lesson of never going to

558
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 2: the grocery store when you're hungry.

559
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: One percent.

560
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 3: Yes, totally the same thing. I do want to double

561
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 3: click on.

562
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 2: We were talking about entrepreneurship life an entrepreneur, how it

563
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: can be quite hectic. What advice do you offer to

564
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: aspiring entrepreneurs individuals who may either be ready to take

565
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: the leap from a job where someone else writes their

566
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: paycheck versus, or perhaps someone who.

567
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 3: Is just in the phase of thinking about it.

568
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: I think in the beginning, it's really good to do

569
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: a lot of different things and just kind of put

570
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: dip your feet into different buckets. And I've been reading

571
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: Daily Robert Green his Daily Laws, and I love that

572
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: he shared that Rian Holiday, who I'm such a big

573
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: fan of. Ryan Holiday, was like, Hey, I want to

574
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: be your intern, and I want to do all these

575
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: things for you for free basically, And Robert Green actually

576
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: learned a bunch of stuff from Ryan. So I just

577
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: thought that was so interesting. And I think whenever you

578
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: want to be that person that wants to learn all

579
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: these different things from a mentor, you also want to

580
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: figure out a way that you can serve them as well.

581
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: So I love that Robert was like Ryan had so

582
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: much to offer me even though he was really looking

583
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: to me to be his mentor. So I think it

584
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: just has to be reciprocated. I think a lot of times,

585
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: I think as a coach or someone that's been doing

586
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: this for about ten plus years, I've had a lot

587
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: of people like say, hey can I can I can

588
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: I be a mentor? Can I try this out? Or

589
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: can I do this? And I feel like it's a

590
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: lot of taking, but I think it should be reciprocal.

591
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: And so if you're thinking of taking the leap or

592
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: trying to do something else, like you yues have like

593
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: a mentor and have something that someone that you look

594
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: up to. But I think that try to figure out

595
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: how you can serve them in a way. And I

596
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: think that you'll find that you'll learn so much from them,

597
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: but then also you'll learn a lot from each other.

598
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: That's a great for reliine that you're really reiterating here

599
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: being someone who is in the service industry, knowing that

600
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: it can be a lot to constantly give, but there's

601
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: so much opportunity in the act of that giving, and

602
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: that ninety nine point nine percent of the time it's

603
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: always going to come back around to you. I also

604
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: really appreciate the sentiments of this tip, which is don't

605
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: go at it alone, right, so as you are on

606
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: your quest trying to figure out what feels right for you,

607
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: as you move forward through entrepreneurship, knowing that it's okay

608
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: to ask for help, it's okay to have questions, reach

609
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: out to people that inspire you, that make you excited.

610
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: And the worst thing, again, we're back here. That's going

611
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: to happen if you ask them something and they say no,

612
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: is that you're exactly where you started.

613
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think the community aspect is such a

614
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: big thing too. I love that too, because it's like,

615
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, even just moving here to Texas, like I

616
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: was pregnant the first year, then it was postpartum the

617
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: next four to six months, and I didn't realize how

618
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: lonely I was until I had community again. And it's

619
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: so important to have those relationships. You know, I had

620
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: all my friends in LA, but they were in LA,

621
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: and you know, and now that I I have people here,

622
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: it's really nice to be able to connect and grow

623
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: with people. And it doesn't need to be people that

624
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: are here, but like, even just connecting with people on

625
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: FaceTime and connecting with people and the grocery store or

626
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, just anything is just like I think that

627
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: people really need connection and community.

628
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: Oh yes, one hundred percent.

629
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: Even though I work for myself, clearly, I do occasionally

630
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: get the opportunity to talk awesome people like yourself, But

631
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: I spend so much time alone. So I build in

632
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: community time to my schedule. When I sit down and

633
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: think about what's going on for the week, on Sundays,

634
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to go every single week to make a

635
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: friend date at least one date with a friend, usually

636
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: for some sort of a workout instead of just sitting

637
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: at the restaurant or a bar right doing something that

638
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: I can look forward to. Maybe it's on Thursday, And

639
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: I said it on Sunday, and then it's like, Okay,

640
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: this is something that's going to be the highlight of

641
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: my week. I know it, and it builds in community

642
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: for me, especially during my busiest times, especially in the

643
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: weeks and the stretches of time where I feel like

644
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: there is no way that I could make something like

645
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: that happen.

646
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 3: It's a priority that I've made for myself.

647
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: It really is, because it gives you more space.

648
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: It does give you more space, and it gives you

649
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: the opportunity to fill up your own cup. You can't

650
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: pour from an empty cop and there are going to

651
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: be so many things that happened during the week that

652
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: poke holds in your cup, no matter how big or small.

653
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: So it's up to you to do the damage control

654
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: ahead of time so that you can repair as you go.

655
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm really loving this conversation on entrepreneurship and it's making

656
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: me feel a lot less alone in what I go through.

657
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: When you started out, Betina, what would you say was

658
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: one of the most difficult parts of the learning curve

659
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: of being your own boss?

660
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: I think at some point it was knowing your worth

661
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: and knowing where my boundaries were. Because you're an entrepreneur,

662
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: you want to say yes to everything, because you don't

663
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: you just are like, oh, like everything is exciting. But

664
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: I think as you get into it more after so

665
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: many years, you are really honing in on what your

666
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: brand is, who you're serving, and then that kind of

667
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: helps you figure out what to say no to and

668
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: where you could set your boundaries and set your rate at.

669
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: You know, there are some times where you know, I'm like, yeah,

670
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: I would do it for X amount because I know

671
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: that there are so many other ways that this can

672
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: serve me and my brand. But then if it's something

673
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: that I'm like not very excited about, or I know

674
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: it's not going to elevate other things that are very

675
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: important to me, maybe I will charge a little bit higher.

676
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: And it is scary, you know. I mean it is

677
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: scary when you say, hey, this is my rate. I

678
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: think that you just got to build that confidence. And

679
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: I think whatever industry you're in, you just have to

680
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: be patient and just continue to learn and grow and

681
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: build that confidence within yourself and also talk to other

682
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: people in your industry and those mentors and figure out

683
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think more people should be talking about

684
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: money and you know, and being open about that because

685
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know how how that is

686
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: and where the rates are at.

687
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: It's so true regardless of what industry you're in.

688
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: I also, on that note of owning your value and

689
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: owning your worth, you have to get to a place

690
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: where you are okay walking away from someone who doesn't

691
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: see your value, and that's super challenging. Clearly, over time,

692
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: that number, those numbers, they're gonna ebb and flow, right,

693
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: They're going to change from when you have one to

694
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: two years of experience versus when you've been working in

695
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: your field for a decade.

696
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: Right, and owning what it is that you bring to.

697
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: The table is intimidating at times, but it is what

698
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: makes you you. There is one you, right, and if

699
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: a company values you, values what you bring to the table,

700
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: then telling them what it is that your time is worth,

701
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: that your services are worth, won't be as scary preach preach,

702
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: And I also love what you said about knowing that

703
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: it's bigger than dollars, right, Like, if there is something

704
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: that has a deep connection to your values, your purpose,

705
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: your passion, it might be disheartening that they don't have

706
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: the budget to pay you what you're after, but that

707
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you can't still find value in collaborating

708
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: with this person or brand, knowing that it is serving

709
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: a different side of your ethos. So maybe it's a

710
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: charitable opportunity, or maybe it's an opportunity to come together

711
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: in community, and community is something that excites you. Perhaps

712
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: there's movement involved, and movement is one of your core values,

713
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 2: whatever it might be for your individual situation. Know that

714
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: money is only one way that something can be worth

715
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: your time.

716
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent.

717
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So right off the get go, getting to a

718
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: place where you feel as though you can really articulate

719
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: what your value is. Knowing your worth definitely important for

720
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur. And then I do want to circle back

721
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 2: though to the concept of setting goals, because I think

722
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: that that can be very intimidating for someone who's just

723
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: starting out.

724
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 3: Can you recall how your.

725
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 2: Goal setting has evolved as an entrepreneur, because I'm sure

726
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: when you started out you had very different goals than you.

727
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: Very different goals when I when I first became a trainer,

728
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: I was actually still playing in the band full time.

729
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: So I used to play in a top forty cover band.

730
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: So I'm waking up at five am to teach classes.

731
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: But then on the weekends I was staying up till

732
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: three am. So, as you can imagine, I was able

733
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: to do that. I was in my early twenties, but

734
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I knew it wasn't sustainable.

735
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: So at that time I was just like, Okay, how

736
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: do I become a trainer full time? So it was

737
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: more less at that point, like Okay, I want to

738
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: have this many clients, this and this and that. It

739
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: was more like, Okay, how can I transition from this

740
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: job to the next. So I think that a lot

741
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: of people can relate to that when they're making the

742
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: change from one job to another. Like I was hustling

743
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: for like months and months and months, just like not

744
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: getting any sleep. But then I knew that my all

745
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: goal was to become a trainer full time, and then

746
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: I finally got that goal. And then at that point

747
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: I made bigger goals, whether it be to have this

748
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: many clients, to make this amount of money, and then

749
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: I started like dabbling and getting on camera more. And

750
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: then I was like, hey, I want to be the

751
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: next Jillian Michaels, but the nice version. And so it

752
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: was just like this this ongoing, like I was starting

753
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: to be more like visionary about it. And that's when

754
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: the whole like manifestation, seeing those like expanders in my life,

755
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: like Gillian Michaels, and seeing what they were doing, because

756
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: at the time, there was really nobody liked Jillian Michaels

757
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: like on TV, you know, I wanted to be that.

758
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: And now, obviously there are so many ways to be

759
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: on TV or to get in front of people that

760
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: aren't just your people and your classes. So I've definitely

761
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: expanded from there. But now I'm always asking myself how

762
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: can I serve? Obviously there's an amount of money attached

763
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: to certain things, but I'm always asking myself, who can

764
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: I serve? How can I serve? And how is this

765
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: going to help my every day and my schedule that

766
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: I want for myself.

767
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, in those early phases, what would you say was

768
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: one of the biggest mistakes that you made?

769
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: Oh?

770
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: You know what, I think I was trying too hard.

771
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I was trying to be I had and

772
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: I think everybody has this imposter syndrome. I was trying

773
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: to be like I wasn't honest with myself. I wasn't like, hey,

774
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: I've only been doing this for six months. I was

775
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: trying so hard to be like, I'm so smart, I

776
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: know all the things about training, but you know, truthfully,

777
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: I was just playing in a band and I really

778
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: liked fitness and wanted to start working out and start

779
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: training people. And I think that at times it hurt

780
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: some of the relationships that I had with clients because

781
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: then I felt like I was almost like trying too

782
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: hard to impress them and like I was like pushing

783
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: them too hard, and I could only remember specifically one

784
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: client that way I was, and I feel like I

785
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: always think about it. I'm like, man, I feel like

786
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: if I if I were to train them now, I

787
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: could have impacted their life differently. And I really like,

788
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: I just wish that I would have had less ego

789
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: than I do now. And so I think overall, it

790
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: was just the ego, especially when you're trying something new,

791
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: and you really just have to let go of that.

792
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: And where it really changed for me was when I

793
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: read Ryan Holiday's Ego is the Enemy book. I really

794
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: am such a big fan of Ryan Holiday and all

795
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: of his books, and that one was a big, big

796
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: game changer for me.

797
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: Hmm, I'm gonna have to download this. What a great recommendation.

798
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised you have never read it. It's

799
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: really great.

800
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: I have it, and I appreciate the reflection and also

801
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 2: that you evolved over time as you came to understand

802
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: what excited you, what you felt like could be good at.

803
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: You embrace the pivot, and so often as an entrepreneur,

804
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: I feel as though, this is what I'm good at,

805
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 2: this is the lane I should stay in period, right,

806
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: and then I have these moments where I have to

807
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 2: shake myself and be like, just because you haven't tried

808
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 2: it before doesn't mean that you can't be good at it.

809
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: Or just because you did it this one way previously

810
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you can't get to the same goal by

811
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: quote unquote breaking the matrix and going about it in

812
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: a different way. And so I really appreciate that although

813
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: you had this original goal of being you know, a

814
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: nice Chilian Michaels, you started to understand that there were

815
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: other things that interested in you and that you could

816
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: kind of follow your own path to getting where ever

817
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: might be right for you. And also this note that

818
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: if it feels too hard, it's probably not right.

819
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: Yes, how important is that Betina.

820
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent. You should never force anything, should

821
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: not feel like you're forcing anything.

822
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 3: The only things that I will force are getting paid.

823
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: Fact, that is a fact.

824
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 2: It is the only thing that I will email relentlessly

825
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: about if it is beyond on the scope of when

826
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: we agreed upon. At this point, I have come to

827
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: realize that if it is too hard to forge a

828
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: new relationship or get in the mix with a certain person,

829
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 2: whether it's someone I want to have on the show

830
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: or someone that's working at a brand, whatever it might be,

831
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: if it's not feeling I don't want to say easy,

832
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: because it's not always easy, but it should not be.

833
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 3: The bane of your existence.

834
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. Life is really too short, you know. There

835
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: are so many things that there are so many other opportunities,

836
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: and so many other people that would love to be

837
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: on your podcast, so many brands I would love to

838
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: work with you. And that's that's where it really comes

839
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: down to. I think that we just try so hard

840
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: to get somewhere or to get certain things when a

841
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: lot of it is right in front of you and

842
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: there's people knocking at your doors NonStop. So I think

843
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: that you're exactly right. You don't just need to force anything.

844
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say, adding to the list of like

845
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: maybe mistakes that I made early on, it really is

846
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: in line with what you are saying by being a

847
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 2: yes person to everything. I don't regret being a yes person.

848
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: I think that it taught me a lot. But what

849
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 2: it also did was it took my bandwidth away from

850
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: things that excited me. I was saying yes to a

851
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: lot of things and didn't necessarily feel aligned with all

852
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: of them, so that was a problem. And then the

853
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: other thing that being a yes person did was it

854
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: really continuously drained my cup. I didn't feel like I

855
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: had enough time for myself, and so it's in retrospect

856
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: a lesson. It wasn't a mistake, but now I know

857
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: that no is my biggest, most greatest word in my vocabulary,

858
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 2: and to be able to use the word no, especially

859
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 2: when it comes to taking care of myself so that

860
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: I can do the things that make me excited and

861
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: be more of a person that can be in service.

862
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: That is, that's the way that you need to go

863
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: about your day to day.

864
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: And you know you said it's not necessarily a mistake,

865
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: it's a big lesson. I think That's why trying different

866
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: things and then assessing later on instead of just keep

867
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: saying yes, yes, yes, yes yes for years and years

868
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: and years, which I think is what a lot of

869
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: corporate people do. After a while, they're like, wait, I

870
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: just I don't even know what just happened after the

871
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: past ten years of my life. You haven't taken the

872
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: time to reassess and figure out what have I tried,

873
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: what have I been doing, What's what do I need

874
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: to change? And you know, especially in the beginning of

875
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur life, you have to try different things. But

876
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: then after a while, you know what is going to

877
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: fill your cup, and then you know how you can

878
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: serve at the highest level, so that you can craft

879
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: your schedule and be able to serve at the highest level.

880
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: I think another huge mistake that people make is they

881
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: think to themselves, well, someone else is already doing something similar,

882
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: so I better not even try.

883
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yes, oh yeah, yeah.

884
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 2: Especially I mean, let's apply it again to fitness training.

885
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: There are bazillions of fitness trainers, but there's only one you,

886
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: and there's only one you that can interact with people

887
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: in a certain way and is in your certain location

888
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 2: and has your specific skill.

889
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 3: Set and knowing that and owning that.

890
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: Is so crucial to being able to go after the

891
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: things that excite you.

892
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and really really just embracing that and who you

893
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: are and who you can serve, because I think a

894
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are trying to serve the masses and

895
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: trying to adapt themselves to serve everybody around them. But like,

896
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: who you are and what your story is that can

897
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: make such a big impact on one person if you

898
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: truly are who you are, because you know, I mean,

899
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm really excited because even just being Filipino and a

900
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: trainer ten years ago, I didn't see many Filipino trainers,

901
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: and you know, were the ten years of being on

902
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: platforms like Nike and Apple, Like, I've had so many

903
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: Filipinos message me and say, I've never even seen somebody

904
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: that looks like me work out, and to have you

905
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: make this impact on me is amazing, you know, And

906
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: I didn't realize what a difference that would make because

907
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, growing up, I was the only Filipino in

908
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: a very white neighborhood. But my mom did everything to

909
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: make sure that I didn't feel different. But I did

910
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: feel different, but I never really knew how important it

911
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: was to embrace my culture because I didn't have anyone

912
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: else around me, and I didn't know that it was

913
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: going to make a big difference because I never knew

914
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: what it felt like to see somebody else that was

915
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: brown like me. And so the fact that I was

916
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: able to hear that from so many people around the

917
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: world just made such a big impact in my heart.

918
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: And I think that so many people need to really

919
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: embrace their story and who they are. And I think

920
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: that is about being vulnerable, you know. I think whether

921
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: it's a story about being a single mom or maybe

922
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is that you have, like and

923
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: you're comfortable telling those stories, especially if you're going the

924
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: brand route of yourself, like, really embrace that.

925
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

926
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: I was listening to a podcast, I think it was

927
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: ho to Coppies and she was talking with Mel Robbins,

928
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 2: and Mel Robbins mentioned that every single person on earth

929
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: has the same purpose, and that purpose is actually just

930
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: to be entirely authentically themselves and to come to a

931
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 2: place where you understand that you, as your authentic self,

932
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 2: not only have value, but then can help other people

933
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: regardless of what you look like, what your circumstance has been,

934
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 2: what your jobs have been, parents, children, whatever it is

935
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: you have an individual that is unique to you. To

936
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 2: show the world who it is that you are and

937
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 2: be authentic about it. That's just truly the most special,

938
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: special thing.

939
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: I love that, and I think that's just especially important

940
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: in relationships, whether it be your husband, your partner, your

941
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: best friend, or coworkers. Like, whatever you can do to

942
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: help enhance somebody and their skills and who they are

943
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: is so important because I feel like so many times,

944
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: like we get so annoyed with somebody and you want

945
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: to change the way they're doing a certain thing. But

946
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: like help them embrace all of their strengths and who

947
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: they are. I think that can go such a far away,

948
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: and that can build someone's confidence, and that can help

949
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: them really just tell their story and embrace who they

950
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: are and make an impact in everyone around them.

951
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 3: For sure.

952
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: Now, before I let you go today on the topic

953
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: here of entrepreneurship lessons, I would be remiss if we

954
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 2: didn't talk about money at least a little bit. So

955
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 2: when it comes to being in this place, you're a

956
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: relatively new entrepreneur, you have an idea of how much

957
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: money you're trying to make every month, how much revenue

958
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: you need, what your overhead costs are. What advice do

959
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: you have for the person that inevitably runs into the

960
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 2: position where they're worried about making enough to do what

961
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 2: they need to do.

962
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: I think it's important to know there's always enough and

963
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: you just have to find it. You have to have

964
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: that hustle to really want to find it and figure

965
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: out where it's at, because there's always enough out there.

966
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: There's always enough opportunity, and if you think that there's

967
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: not enough, you're not looking hard enough.

968
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 3: That's a really good piece of advice.

969
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 2: I know that when I started out, I had a

970
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: benchmark of how much money I wanted to secure at

971
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 2: the halfway point of the month before. So, for instance,

972
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: if it is February right now, and next month is March,

973
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 2: by February fifteenth, I want to have allocated like seventy

974
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 2: five percent of what I'm trying to make in March

975
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 2: ahead of time. Then I trust the process and the

976
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: universe and that I'll be able to figure out where

977
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: the other twenty five percent comes from. Of course, certain

978
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: months we're going to look a little bit different, and

979
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: certain months i'd be able to secure one hundred or

980
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: double like whatever it was that was bigger than that

981
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 2: for myself, knowing that again going to this concept that

982
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: what is.

983
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 3: For you won't pass you by.

984
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 2: That was the attitude of the approach that I had

985
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: to take when it came to securing the things that

986
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 2: felt right for me and then thus filling up that

987
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: monthly budget so to speak.

988
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard though.

989
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 2: It's so hard though, especially when you're starting out, which

990
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: is why there are so many different ways that it

991
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: can look at the beginning, especially when it's I have

992
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: a full time job, but I have this idea, or

993
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: like I've saved enough money so I'm ready to make

994
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 2: the jump, like whatever your circumstance might be, know that

995
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: there are so many different ways to dip your toe

996
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 2: into trying something new, and you just need to be

997
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: able to figure out which one feels right for you.

998
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: And the last thing I'll add, and it's more of

999
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: a logistics thing. If you're going to be an entrepreneur,

1000
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: make sure you put away money for taxes.

1001
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: And I sid thirty five percent of every JEP that

1002
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 2: I get into a separate BIK account.

1003
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: YEP. I have a.

1004
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: Savings account, a business savings account and an Italy trip

1005
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: account Hey I.

1006
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: Love that, and a personal I'll check out.

1007
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: You have to you kind of have to separate. I

1008
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: think there is something beautiful about separating all of the

1009
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: accounts to just because you know. I think if you

1010
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: see it all in one thing, it's you know, just

1011
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: depending on you know, what your history is with money.

1012
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people need to make sure

1013
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: that they have those separate accounts to make sure that

1014
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: they can have everything in check and obviously have those

1015
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: emergency funds as well.

1016
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 3: What excites you right now? Betina my app Betina go

1017
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 3: a TV apps.

1018
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm just really excited because I think this is something

1019
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 1: that you know, everything that I've learned over the past

1020
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: ten years of coaching and being on camera and working

1021
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: with so many different brands, I've really embraced what people

1022
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: need and the combination of what my skills are and

1023
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: how I can serve. I've really combined into this one thing,

1024
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see how I can impact more

1025
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: people's lives and hopefully more Pilipino lives.

1026
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: When you create an app, first of all, the whole

1027
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: concept sounds extremely overwhelming. I'm just so curious. How did

1028
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: you know where even to begin with that.

1029
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: I've been doing so much research for so long, and

1030
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: I you know, I've had so many developers reach out

1031
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: to me over the past five years, and I've saved

1032
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: every single email because you know, at the time, I

1033
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: knew that I wasn't allowed to have my own app,

1034
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: but I just was still like, you know what, I'm

1035
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: just gonna save it. I'm going to flag it. It's

1036
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 1: going to be in this folder and one day maybe

1037
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: I can revisit it. And I'm so glad that I did,

1038
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: because just at that time, five years ago, it wasn't

1039
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,439
Speaker 1: a thing, but five years later it is, and I'm

1040
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: glad I save those relationships. You know, I talked to

1041
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people, have been working on stop. My

1042
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: brain hurts a lot. I've been working a lot later

1043
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: and waking up really early just to get everything set up.

1044
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: But I'm really excited and I think that it's going

1045
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: to serve a lot of people. And I think that's

1046
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me is I've I've just had

1047
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: that service on top of mine.

1048
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 3: When can we expect the app by the time Yes.
