1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: What do you do when life doesn't go according to

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: plan that moment you lose a job, or a loved one,

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: or even a piece of yourself. I'm Brookshields and this

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: is now What, a podcast about pivotal moments as told

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: by people who lived them. Each week, I sit down

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: with a guest to talk about the times they were

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: knocked off course and what they did to move forward.

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Some stories are funny, others are gut wrenching, but all

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: are unapologetically human and remind us that every success and

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: every setback is accompanied by a choice, and that choice

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: answers one question, now what? And is there one of

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: your children that's the most like you?

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: I think they all have different sides of me. Chloe

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: has my nesting side. Her and I are very much

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: alike the way we keep our houses, always trying to

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: clean something every five minutes. And then Kim is my

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: entrepreneurial side, and Courtney is my nostalgic side and loves

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: family and kids. And Kendall was over yesterday and she

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: loves nature, that little side of me that most people

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: don't know about, and she loves her horrors. Kylie has

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: this magical quality where she just thinks that, you know,

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: she works hard and everything's just going to work out,

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: and it does. And I was I think I was

24
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: like that. I was always dreaming but able to capture

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: that dream and reality. And then my son Rob is

26
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: so funny and so fear and he's a good person

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: and has a great, sweet spirit. So I could sit

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: back and see that personalities and every single one of them,

29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 2: and then pray that I'm as good of a person.

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: You know, my kids, I'm so proud of them because

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: they're so great.

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: On the side, my guest today is one of the

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: most famous moms in the world. Chris Jenner is the

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: matriarch of the Kardashian Jenner family and a brilliant businesswoman

35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: in her own right. She's savvy, gracious, and quite possibly

36
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: the hardest working woman in show business. As someone who

37
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: personally grew up in the public eye, I can understand

38
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: the world that Chris lives in, and I know a

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: thing or two about what it means to have a

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: mom turned manager. But even so, Chris is one of

41
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: a kind. She spent her fifties creating a TV empire

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: and has directly influenced the way so many of us

43
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: spend our time and money. I'm so grateful she agreed

44
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: to chat with me, and I hope that you all

45
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: enjoy this one as much as I did. Here is

46
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Chris Jenner. How are you, Chris Jenner?

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm really good. Thank you for having me.

48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming on the show. I

49
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: know how busy you are, and personally, I'm so busy

50
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and to think if just one more thing added in

51
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: your schedule, you know, it's enough to make me go

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: a little loopy. So I want to just thank you

53
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: very very much. And if I were to introduce you,

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: you don't need any introduction, but if you had to

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: introduce yourself, forgive yourself three titles, Uh what would those

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: titles be?

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: Mom? Entrepreneur, manager, producer, and exhausted. Throw that in there

58
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: for good luck.

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say mom first. I

60
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: really did think you were going to say mom first,

61
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: because it's the primary, primal relationship and you have multiples

62
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: of it.

63
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: I do, I do, and I think mom is what

64
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to be since I was a teenager. I

65
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: just thought, what does my future look like as one

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: does when they're sixteen, and I thought I want to

67
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: be a mom. You know, I guess it was in

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: the late sixties or early seventies when I started feeling

69
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: that and thought, I just want to be a mommy.

70
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: That sounds really great to me, what a great job.

71
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I answered that question to like Johnny Carson. I think

72
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: it was like in the early second.

73
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: Oh wow, what did you say?

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I said, Mom? He said, what would you what do

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: you want to do if you don't act? And what

76
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: you know if this were all all to finish tomorrow?

77
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: And I was thirteen, and I just said, I want

78
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: to be a mom. Yeah, it's all I ever knew

79
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: for sure that I wanted in my life right same.

80
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: And you know what's weird is I always knew I

81
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: was going to have six kids, really, and when I

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: ended up getting divorced after four, I thought, wait a second,

83
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: I was so wrong. And then I went on to

84
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: have two more and I went, now, bingo, I got it.

85
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, well I was six the number.

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just thought I'm going to have

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: six kids. I think part of it was I had

88
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: my mom raised us, my sister and I, and so

89
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: there was two of us, and I always wanted there

90
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: to be like twelve of us. I don't know why

91
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: I wanted a big, loud, noisy, chaotic family.

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: You got it, that's what sounded.

93
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I achieved that.

94
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: What does your mom do for a living?

95
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: Well, my mom always worked. When I was very very young,

96
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: she worked at a golf course. She worked in the

97
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: pro shop, and she was a pro, one of the

98
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: golf pros at the golf course, which was so like

99
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: interesting because it was such a male dominated sport in

100
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: my mind. And so then she opened a candle store

101
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: and a children's clothing store and a women's clothing store,

102
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: all in different times throughout me growing up. And that

103
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: was my first job was working in My grandmother had

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: a candle store also and that was one of my

105
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: first jobs was working at my grandmother's candle store when

106
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: I was like ten.

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: So that that's a Those are females as images and

108
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: as examples of what it is to be an entrepreneur,

109
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: probably before women were really even thought right to be

110
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: invited to do such a thing, I know.

111
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: I know, they were always working, always focused on, you know,

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: what the next day was going to be and what

113
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: they were going to accomplish. And those are the conversations

114
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: that I grew up on and when I was a

115
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: young girl, you know, all my friends were going to

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: the beach during the summer because we lived in San

117
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: Diego and Ma Joya and so my friends were learning

118
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: how to surf, and I was learning how to gift

119
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: wrap in the bathroom at my grandmother's store, and then

120
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: I could go to the beach, you know, after a

121
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: few hours of working. But I loved every second of it.

122
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: And what were you like as a little girl?

123
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: Bossy? I think I was probably bossy And I thought,

124
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: you know, when you're young and you have, I think,

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: an outgoing personality, and so I tried to learn as

126
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 2: much as I could about what adults were doing. Because

127
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: I was wanting to be older than I was. I

128
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: wanted to be able to drive. I couldn't wait till

129
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: I was sixteen, you know, you always want the next milestone,

130
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: at least I did. I liked hanging around, I think

131
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: older people. I think I loved being with my mom

132
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: and her friends and are going to, you know, a

133
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: certain party with my mom if there was a Christmas

134
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: party or something, I thought that was really fun. And

135
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: I had a lot of friends. But I really loved

136
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: being around older people.

137
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: That's so interesting to me, especially giving your trajectory in life, right.

138
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's clear that you are in many ways

139
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: the brains behind your family's success. But what I find

140
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: fascinating is that yourself taught. Yeah, and you didn't go

141
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: to business school. Correct.

142
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: I did not go to business school. I did not

143
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: go to college. I graduated from high school and I

144
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: became a stewardess slight attendant. They started calling us a

145
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: flight attendant on American airlines. And I loved my job.

146
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: And I did that for I think just under two years.

147
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: And I got married and I got pregnant on my honeymoon.

148
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: You know, the Armenian ladies were counting the day, so

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: I knew it was my honeymoon because they were you

150
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: know what. So yeah, it was. It was a dream.

151
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: It was like I was. I was so excited to

152
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: be able to think that I was going to become

153
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: a mom when I was really young.

154
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: You talk about the people that you were surrounded by

155
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: during that marriage and that and that part of your life.

156
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Do you think they recognized your business savvy?

157
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if they recognized my business savvy,

158
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: but I certainly almost accidentally recognized theirs. I found it

159
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: fascinating to sit in a room with Irving as Off,

160
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: for example, when he was perhaps having a meeting with

161
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: for other people that was just finishing up before we

162
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: were there for dinner or something like that. And there

163
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: was always something going on no matter where I was.

164
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: And I was exposed to so much at that time

165
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: and during those early years, especially in the music business,

166
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: because everybody that I was surrounded by seemed to be

167
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 2: in you know, the production business. It was Tony Thamopolis,

168
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: it was Terry Simmle, it was Irving as Off, it

169
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: was I mean, I could go on and on out.

170
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: It was all these people that ran studios and ran

171
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: music businesses and companies and MCA and Universal, and it

172
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: just went on and on. And those were the people

173
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 2: that were our friends.

174
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: And what did you see like when you saw that,

175
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: what was exciting to you about what you were witnessing?

176
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: I think I had a front row seat to the

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: most exclusive lesson in how some of those conversations were happening,

178
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: what they were talking about, what went on behind the scenes,

179
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, things like that was very interesting. And I

180
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: really didn't focus or wasn't aware of the fact that

181
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: these things that I was witnessing or hearing, or you know,

182
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: the world that I was living in would somehow be

183
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: part of my education later in life.

184
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: Did it inspire you to create your own line, your

185
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: own business.

186
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: I don't think at the time that I was inspired

187
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: in general and life like I thought, Oh my goodness,

188
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: to be able to be in this position and running

189
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 2: these huge companies and to be doing things that are

190
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: so exciting, you know, I thought, this is how I

191
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: was love to have a life like this. One day.

192
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: I don't think I thought it out loud. I think

193
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: it was in my dream space, in my head. And

194
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: I had a very dear friend, Kathie Lee Gifford, one

195
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: of my dearest friends in life and who's actually Kindle

196
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: and Kylie's godmother. And I watched her in her success

197
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: and she had her talk show for fifteen years on ABC,

198
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: and I was just remarkable what she did and what

199
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: she accomplished, and you know, kind of living that with her,

200
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: you know, taught me a little bit about TV. And

201
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: every single person that I came across and was friends

202
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: with and had relationships in my life gave me a

203
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: little piece of of what it was like to be

204
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: in the industry that we're in today, and I think

205
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: served me well because it was almost like an I

206
00:11:51,880 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: learned through osmosis of just being there.

207
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Going back to that time after your first marriage ended,

208
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure you didn't ever imagine you would get divorced.

209
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: None of us do.

210
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't set yourself up for that.

211
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: But what's interesting to me and relatable to so many women,

212
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: is that at that time in your life, you were

213
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: really ignorant about your own finances.

214
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: I was. I was, I had no idea. So when

215
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: I was married, and it was nineteen seventy eight, I

216
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: had been dating Robert for four years and we were

217
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: getting married, and in the seventies, I don't know, it

218
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: was a different time. It's a different world. I felt

219
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: like I had so much respect for my husband and

220
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: was so grateful and felt so blessed that I had

221
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: this man who was an attorney and really smart, really

222
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: great with me, really great with you know, advice, really great.

223
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: It was just terrific, and I thought, I am living

224
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: the greatest life right now, you know, and I don't

225
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: have to really worry about We didn't sit down and

226
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, have a discussion about paying the bills. You know,

227
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: I knew I was living in this amazing, beautiful home,

228
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: but I didn't sit down and say, Okay, how much

229
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: is the gardener?

230
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: Right?

231
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: And I remember when I got divorced, my girlfriend, Shelley

232
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: said to me, Okay, let's think about your budget, like

233
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: what you know, this is what you're you've got to

234
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: work with, and let's talk about the bills that need

235
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: to be paid and that'll determine really about whether you're

236
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: going to be able to stay in this house. And

237
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: you know, we had to figure it out, and we

238
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: had a pen and paper. How much is the gardener?

239
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: I just looked at her with this blank I don't

240
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, you know. So anyway, that was a

241
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: big awakening for me because I realized not only listen,

242
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: I realized a few things. I realized that I didn't

243
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: appreciate the life that I was living as much as

244
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: I should because I always lead with gratitude and love.

245
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: I really do, and I'm so grateful every single day

246
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: I get up and I thank God for every single

247
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: thing that I have, for my breakfast, to you know,

248
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: the whole thing. And I remember thinking, oh, I should

249
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: have been more. I didn't realize that some of these

250
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: expenses were bigger than life. And you know, I learned

251
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: lots of lessons that year.

252
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Was it a struggle emotionally?

253
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: I think it was. It was I was very scared.

254
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: I thought, how am I going to do this? I

255
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: have four kids, But I'm going to figure it out

256
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: and I'm going to throw my sleeves up and I'm

257
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: going to go to work and I'm going to make

258
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: it happen for my kids. And that was my inspiration.

259
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: I had seen my mom do it, I had seen

260
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: my grandmother do it. I had lots of role models,

261
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: and my mom and I talked about it and she

262
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: helped me just I mean motivated me emotionally, you know,

263
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: from the pure like you can do this. This is

264
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: going to be hard, but it's going to be okay.

265
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Well I call this show now What because it's about

266
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,359
Speaker 1: those moments where you find yourself in an unprecedented situation,

267
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: one that you just you neither anticipated nor ever prepared for.

268
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: I didn't have a plan. I certainly didn't have a plan.

269
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: I just thought it was going to be okay. You know,

270
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: I was very naive in those days about how I

271
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: was going to make it happen, but thank god I

272
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: figured it out.

273
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,119
Speaker 1: That to me seems like a huge now what moment? Yeah,

274
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: are there any other now what moments that come to

275
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: mind that you can look back at and feel.

276
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: Shaped you, oh dear, without crying.

277
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: This is not an intended I just know.

278
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: I mean some really, I mean, you know, you never

279
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen in your life. And I've

280
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: had so many crazy things happen, and without getting into

281
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: it on Monday morning, I think one of the biggest

282
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: things that happened was when my girlfriend Nicole died, you know,

283
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: she was Nicole Simpson, and that was that was talk

284
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: about now what you know that that was I didn't

285
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't intend to talk about that this morning,

286
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: but that would be a huge fork in the road

287
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: in my life about life and love and tragedy and

288
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: all of that. So and then I think that and

289
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: now what moment? As I get older, I think I

290
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: look back and think about, you know, the people that

291
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: you lose along the way. That's always really hard for me,

292
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: you know, really hard. And I think the older I get,

293
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: I think about it more like I look at my kids,

294
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: and some of my kids are now in their forties,

295
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, when I was in my forties.

296
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: I had Kendall when I was forty, and I had

297
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: Kylie when I was forty one, and I think for

298
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: like ten years after that, I mean, you're raising kids

299
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: and you're feeding and babies and grade school, and you're

300
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: still in that mommy mode, which was such a blessing

301
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 2: for me. I was so thrilled to be doing that

302
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: all over again.

303
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: How do you teach them about loss? How do you

304
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: grapple with that?

305
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: Well, you discover yourself more and more, but as you

306
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: get older, so you don't really you deal with it

307
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: at the time, and then you keep dealing with it

308
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: with each chapter of your life. I think with every

309
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: decade that I get older, I look at losing people

310
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: a lot differently than I did when I was Back

311
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: when I was forty, you know, and you just think

312
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: you're going to live forever, and you think your group

313
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: is going to live forever, and everyone's going to be,

314
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: you know, around always, and then you know, it kind

315
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 2: of starts with grandparents and you know, unfortunately some friends

316
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: when they're younger. But what I understand now, it affects

317
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: me more now. I think the what now. Moments that

318
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: are the most profound for me are life changing things

319
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: like divorce, meeting someone unexpected and new, or I think

320
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: losing someone you know or the most to me, the

321
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: most you know, or having a child. You know. I

322
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: remember having Courtney like it was yesterday, and that was

323
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: forty three years ago. It's insane, but that much time

324
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: has gone by, and I can tell you what I

325
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: was wearing, you know, what I put her in, and

326
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: the day that we came home from the hospital with

327
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: no instructions, just here you go. Yeah, I mean I

328
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: feel like I have and now what moment?

329
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: You know?

330
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: Daily? But but real true, you know, moments like that

331
00:18:52,800 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: have come, and it's really about how you react.

332
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: I was an only child with my mother, and she

333
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: managed my entire career. And it's funny because Sharon Osborne

334
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: always referred to my mom as like the og mommage

335
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: of her right, you're smart enough to trademarket. My mom

336
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: did not trademarket. But there's such a fine line, and

337
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: this is something we never discussed and we didn't end

338
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: up with a success story. She was not savvy about business,

339
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: and there's so much in it that I remember as

340
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: being positive with having someone who loved me so much

341
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: be the one who was on the front lines for me.

342
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: But there is a fine line between being a savvy,

343
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: savvy business person and being a mom who wants to

344
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: protect her children. How do you walk that line?

345
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: Right? Well, I'm first and foremost always mom, And you know,

346
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: sometimes I can get lost in the business and making

347
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: decisions and trying to get through the to do list

348
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: for the day and the meetings and the zooms and

349
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: you know, the craziness of all of it. But at

350
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: the end of the day, that's where I'm happiest. And

351
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: not to say that your mom wouldn't have been happiest there,

352
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: but I think when you are trying to do something

353
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: that you feel is the best thing for your kids,

354
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: especially in business, and I am a bit impulsive sometimes too,

355
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: probably like your mom was a little bit, But I

356
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: definitely feel like mom is always my first responsibility and

357
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: the place where my heart is. And I think that

358
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: as their mom and their manager and the person who's

359
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: helping them to run businesses, I think that I just

360
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: want the best for them. That's all I want is

361
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: helping them. And I think I've learned by the way

362
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: I can't do it all. And I've had them tell

363
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: me that a million times that I, you know, you're

364
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: trying to do it all. But I think that what

365
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: I have learned along the way is really guiding them

366
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: and helping them to help build the right teams around

367
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: each thing that we do so that we do have

368
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: a support system.

369
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: That to me is a huge, huge piece, because my

370
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: mother would not let anybody come in. And you know,

371
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: there were people who were very prominent, very brilliant agents

372
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: who wanted me as a client, but they wanted her

373
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: out of the way. Yeah, and that was never going

374
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: to happen. And had she had the wherewithal to be

375
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: okay with knowing that she couldn't do it all, you know,

376
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: I think our lives together would have looked a little

377
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: a little bit different. She's always gotten so much flack

378
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: for being my manager, and I will defend her to

379
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: the day I die. I also acknowledge the mistakes and

380
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: acknowledge missteps that I believe she thought she was doing

381
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: the right thing.

382
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's also intimidating, and it's hard when other

383
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: people may tell you that you're not doing it exactly

384
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: the way that it should be done. Or you know,

385
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: and it can be very threatening.

386
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: How do you respond to that? How do you respond

387
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: because everyde has so much to say. I know it

388
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: makes me nuts, and they're all officionados in your life.

389
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of noise.

390
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of noise.

391
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: So you just have to learn how to take the

392
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: advice that you do take from people or people that

393
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: you respect and love and trust and the people that

394
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: are you know, chiming in. I like to listen to

395
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: some of it, just to hear what others might be saying.

396
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: But I told my kids from the very beginning, stay

397
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: off the internet. You know, in those in the chat rooms.

398
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: I don't think they listen to you.

399
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: They didn't, they didn't. But you know when I say that,

400
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean, don't listen to the ugly comments and that

401
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: it's only going to stress you out. Because I knew

402
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: that for myself, I could hear a thousand people tell

403
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: me beautiful things and one person when yeah, I would

404
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: say something really horrible and it would break my soul,

405
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: like what, you don't know me, you don't even know me,

406
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 2: how can you you know? So it was, you know,

407
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: it took really developing some thick skin just so you

408
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: can salvage your mental health, you know, learn how to

409
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: deal with And it's still hard. I mean, nobody wants

410
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: to hear something crazy and rude and it you know,

411
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 2: it can really hurt your feelings. I'm still human, but

412
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: I really try to. We're so busy. That's the good news.

413
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 2: That's the flip side is we're so busy every single

414
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: hour of every single day. If it's not work, it's kids.

415
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: And if it's not kids, it's grandkids and you know,

416
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: and their friends and travel.

417
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: You get downtime, like do you ever just wish you

418
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: could just turn all the volume down? Like do you

419
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: get some of that?

420
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: I do? I do? I do during the summer. So

421
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 2: I just came back the night before last from a

422
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: couple of weeks away. That was really I really needed it,

423
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: and I it's such a blessing, it's such a you know,

424
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: I really don't take it for granted. So I try

425
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 2: to cherish every single day and then come back with

426
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: you know, you feel like, Okay, I'm roll up my sleeves,

427
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: I'm back.

428
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: I have to ask a totally totally personal question. My

429
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: daughter wants to be a model, and it terrifies me.

430
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: You know, my daughter looks at your daughter, Kendall, and

431
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: it's just I mean, she's never been more excited than

432
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: for me to talk to anybody except you. Do you

433
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: have any advice for me? It's such a different world

434
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: now than when I was modeling.

435
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: You know, here's the thing. When Kendall started telling us

436
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: about her desire to be a model, Yeah, that was

437
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: real scary, believe it or not, because you just don't

438
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 2: know as a parent which direction that you want your

439
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: child to go in. And by the way, you're not

440
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: always going to have that control and be able to

441
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: make those decisions over again, so you don't want to

442
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: make the wrong one. So we had Kendall actually do

443
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: a complete presentation for us as a family, and she

444
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: had to give us all the reasons why and give

445
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: us a look book, and like what does this look

446
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: like for you? And why would you want to do this?

447
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: You know, she had to really off on why she

448
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 2: wanted to do this at this stage in her life

449
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: and what, you know, why it made sense to her.

450
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: You know, what were those passions about? Because you know,

451
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: everything we did with Kendall was very very specifically thought about.

452
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: I didn't know enough about the modeling world, like, you're

453
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 2: so savvy with that world. And I saw your documentary

454
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: and to me, what you went through as a young girl,

455
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: I mean, wow, you know, your story is so amazing.

456
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 2: I really loved your documentary, by the way, and I

457
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: love the way you told your story. You were so

458
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: honest and raw about it, and it was something that

459
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: I think everybody should see. That's a parent, by the way.

460
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: I think that not only your story is remarkable, but

461
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: the way that you know you went through your childhood.

462
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: So I wish I would have seen it earlier too,

463
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, to help me make some decisions. But I

464
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: think that I was really happy about the way that

465
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: Kendall broke into the business because we did it very slowly,

466
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 2: smart with I hope, you know, we made the right

467
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 2: decisions about the people that were, you know, surrounding her.

468
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: We tried to get and go to the best in

469
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: the business and make sure she was guarded and you know,

470
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 2: taken care of. And she did it slowly and and

471
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: her way. Like when she broke into the business and

472
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: had her first fashion shows, we weren't even allowed to

473
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: be in the room. I mean, I was like, are

474
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: we sitting front row? She was like, you're not even

475
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: going to be there, like, no, I'm doing this on

476
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: my own.

477
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: But it's important to know why they want to do

478
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: it exactly. The good news is and this is not

479
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: you know, I hear from a lot of younger people,

480
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: you know, you hear what do you want to be

481
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: when you grow up? And they say famous? And that's

482
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: not a vocation, that is not a passion, that is

483
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: not a life work, you know. And she has been

484
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: very very serious about why she wants to do it

485
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: and how she wants to do it. I'm going to

486
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: have her do that PowerPoint. You all are wrapping that's

487
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: the third season on Hulu.

488
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're the third season is wrapped and we're actually

489
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: filming season four right now, and season three is on Hulu.

490
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: Do you ever see envisioning it at ending or.

491
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: You know, people used to ask me that question in

492
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: the very beginning and they would say, you know, Kindle

493
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: and Kylie were nine and ten when we first started filming,

494
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: and people would say how long you know. We'd be

495
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: on a press tour and they'd say, how long do

496
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: you see this going on? And I would jokingly say, oh,

497
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: when Kylie gets married, or when Kylie has a baby,

498
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: you know, and now Kylie has two kids, and she's

499
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: twenty five years old, and it's quite something and I

500
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: we love.

501
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: What we do. Are you happy to have that time

502
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: capsule when you can when you look back and it's

503
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: like home movies but on a mega scale.

504
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the best, best, best, best home movie catalog

505
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: in the world. I'm so grateful.

506
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: And I think one of the through lines through it

507
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: is how I mean, notably Kim for but you and

508
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: your children seem to almost constantly not reinvent, but re

509
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: reveal a good way to you get more revealed as

510
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: time goes on and you've you've done it. You became

511
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 1: a mogul in your fifties. And I just want to

512
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: finish by saying, was there a dream that you felt

513
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: you may have had to give up as a younger

514
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: woman or a mom that you feel now that you

515
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: can pursue?

516
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: You know, I think that No. I think I did

517
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: everything that I wanted to do it exactly the time

518
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: that I was doing it.

519
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: What are you excited about now?

520
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: What am I excited about now? I'm excited about doing

521
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: things that are creative. I love working on my house.

522
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: I love, you know, being with my grandkids. I think

523
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: watching them grow up is really exciting and graduating and

524
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: you know, going from grade school to you know, middle

525
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 2: school and then to high school. And I'm looking at

526
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: all different ages and sizes of the grandkids and that

527
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: I never thought in a million years that I would

528
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: have twelve grandchildren.

529
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh I love.

530
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: That's a lot of Yeah, it's a lot. It's just delicious.

531
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: So I get excited about them, and I get I'm

532
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: really grateful for the time that we get to do

533
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: the show because we all work together and do projects

534
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: together and create businesses together.

535
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: So well, that's what a mom wants. I mean. The

536
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: heartbreak that I have now is, you know, go to college.

537
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I only have mine for one more year, and I

538
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: need excuses to have to have them be with me,

539
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean?

540
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: And I'll be you know, in a business together.

541
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: And it's funny because all you know, we did a

542
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: photo shoot for Hampton's magazine or something, and I sort

543
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: of grappled like do I want to put my kids

544
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: on the cover, Like do they want that? I don't

545
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: know what it's going to be like, they've been sort

546
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: of so far away from all of it, and that

547
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: was one of the best days of my life. I

548
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: got to sit next to them in here and make

549
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: up for four hours, you know, to look natural by

550
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: the way.

551
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I know. But that's the beauty of working

552
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: with your kids is creating these memories and this time

553
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: together that you might not have ordinarily had. But I

554
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: think it's really fun for me because our show is

555
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: like the foundation of what we do, but all the

556
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: things that are the offshoot and you know, the things

557
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: that happen because of it, and the businesses that we

558
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: can create together or not or just talk about it

559
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: or dream about it and do things together. And I

560
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: think that's that's the dream. I mean, that makes me

561
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: so happy.

562
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,720
