1
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Hey Hurdlers, Emily about he here bringing you another installment

2
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: of five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I'm so excited to

3
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: be here with you. I'm so excited that this beautiful

4
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: week was such a beautiful week. I think a lot

5
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: of us were off a little bit on edge going

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: into the inauguration, but the day was just filled with

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: hope and promise. I loved what the President said about

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: unifying our country and wanting to show up for everyone,

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: regardless of whether or not they voted for him. Even

10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: more so, what I adored was seeing Kamala Harris and

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: every single woman that came up on that stage, whether

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: it was Lady Gaga or Jennifer Lopez, the way that

13
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: they looked at her with such admiration and such awe.

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: I think that woman all over the country, you know

15
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: they feel that way. Then they look at her because

16
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: Kamala is a hard worker and the first female in

17
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: the White House properly as the Vice President of the

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: United States. Like it just it's insane. What I want

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: to talk about today, like so much of the Internet

20
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: is talking about today, is Amanda Gorman. Unless you've been

21
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: living under a rock, you and no offense maybe you've

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: had a busy week. Amanda Gorman is the poet that

23
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: spoke and read at the inauguration. She was the twenty

24
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: seventeen National Youth Poet Laureate. She graduated from Harvard. She's

25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: a twin from Los Angeles. She has been very successful

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: leading up to the opportunity to speak at the inauguration.

27
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: I was reading about her. She has written for The

28
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: New York Times. She's had a ton of amazing brand partnerships,

29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: ranging from Nike to Praduct. This young woman is a

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: show stopper. And the moment that she got up on

31
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the stage, she had such a poise and a presence

32
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: and a confidence about her that I thought was really beautiful.

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: And then her words like God. As someone who uses

34
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: words a lot and says a lot of them on

35
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: a weekly basis, with the opportunity to, you know, impact people,

36
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: I was at a loss for words listening to hers.

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: After listening to her and reading more about her, I

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: feel so inspired by her. It brings me to this

39
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: concept of wanting to lift each other up and that

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: there doesn't need to be like one person that can

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: win in life, like people can be going on their

42
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: own path and along their own journey, and good kind

43
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: people want to lift other good kind successful people up.

44
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: And I want to be here cheerleader, and I believe

45
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: that there is room for everyone's successes. Just seeing her success,

46
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: it literally gave me the chills, and it made me

47
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: excited and it inspired me. It inspired me to think

48
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: about what it is the really big things that I

49
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: want to do. What are my loftiest career goals, because

50
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure for her, like speaking at an inauguration was

51
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: probably one of them, and she checked that off at

52
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: twenty two. I spent a part of my morning yesterday

53
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: in opening my gray baron fake notebook and sitting on

54
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: my gray couch and writing down literally my wildest dreams

55
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: that I don't think I think about enough. I think

56
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: we're so focused on the here and the now and

57
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, just staying afloat and getting the things done

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: that we need to get done so that we can proceed.

59
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: And it felt exciting and I kind of got, you know,

60
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: a little choked up thinking about my own potential. Not

61
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: to say that so many of my loftiest huge goals

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: or anywhere within reach right now, but when you take

63
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: a step back and you ask yourself, like, what is

64
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: it that I can do within my power, within some

65
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: sort of more immediate timeline, to put myself in a

66
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: better position to one day get that thing. It's not

67
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: necessarily like a concrete action at all, but perhaps just

68
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: shifting your perspective or being more kind, or treating people

69
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: the way that you hope to be treated in return.

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that a lot of really successful people,

71
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: or at least those that have left a lasting impact,

72
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: got to where they want to be because they didn't

73
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: treat other humans with compassion and goodness. And so it's

74
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: just something I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about my big dreams,

75
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: and this week I prompt for you is to encourage

76
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: you to do the same. So ask yourself, what is

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: one thing that you are after that you haven't put

78
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: pen to paper on in quite some time. Then ask yourself,

79
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: what is one thing that you can do, maybe within

80
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: the next year, to get you in the direction that

81
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you need to go, to propel you in that way

82
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: to maybe one day do this thing. Don't hold yourself back.

83
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: That's something else I'll say here. Oftentimes, you know, we

84
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: are the only people standing in our own way, and

85
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: I actually watched a snippet of an interview that Amanda

86
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Gorman did on The Today Show from twenty eighteen, and

87
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: when she was talking about her speech impediment, she said

88
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: that for her, she realized that she was the only

89
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: person standing in her own way when it came to

90
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: getting out in public and breaking down those walls and

91
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: putting herself out there. And so be your own biggest

92
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: type man, and keep going. Write down your big goals.

93
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear about them, so feel free to

94
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: tag me with them over on Instagram or shoot me

95
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: a DM Highlights of the week. As always all of

96
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: these the links to this stuff can be found in

97
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: the show notes. If you have yet to watch this,

98
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I can't talk it up enough. I'm obsessed with the

99
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: Shawn Mendes in Wonder documentary on Netflix. I've always been

100
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: a Shawn Mendes fan. I loved his MTV Unplugged album.

101
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: It's like definitely in my regular rotation, but learning more

102
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: about him and how he grew up and how he's

103
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: literally been after this since he was super young, it

104
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: was really cool. Also, I've been on a celebrity documentary

105
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: kick lately, and just a documentary kick in general. I'm

106
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: linked to the party, but I just watched the Taylor

107
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Swift Netflix documentary Miss Americana. I thought that was super interesting.

108
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: So if you have more documentaries to recommend to me,

109
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: definitely message me. Another thing to be in the note

110
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: about Bridgerton is officially renewed for season two. I, like

111
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: many of you, binge the whole thing in about forty

112
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: eight hours. Maybe a couple weeks back, someone else said

113
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: to me that there is likely to be eight seasons

114
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 1: total of the show because it's based on a set

115
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: of historical romance novels which ran for eight books. Who knows,

116
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get eight seasons at least. Also, I want

117
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: to say congrats to Ayisha Prottleer. She's a past Turtle guest.

118
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: She does announced a new sponsorship with Puma. There's so

119
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: exciting things from Puma to come in terms of running

120
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: this year, so stay on the lookout for that. If

121
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: you haven't listened yet to Aisha's episode of Hurdle, I'll

122
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: put a link to that in the show notes. Also

123
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: this week on Hurdle, if you missed it, don't forget

124
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: to listen in to Dave Asbury. He's a biohacker and

125
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: an author and the founder of Bulletproof. And also on Wednesday,

126
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: I posted an episode on how to find workout motivation

127
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: and make movement a regular habit. And lastly, I do

128
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: want to plug Alexi PAPIs over on Finding Master Rates,

129
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: a podcast with doctor Michael Gervai. He is a high

130
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: performance psychologist. He works with a ton of really great athletes,

131
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: some of which have been on the show before, and

132
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: they're talking about a lot of stuff, discussing her battle

133
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: with depression and strategies for improving mental health. I really

134
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: appreciate this. I'm excited about this because this month's Hurdle

Speaker 1: book Club pick is Alexi's new book Bravy, and I

136
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: don't often bring spoilers to the feed like this, but

137
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: she may or may not be in an upcoming episode
