1
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, we're back. We're black, We're brown. Ambitions.

2
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: How you feeling, Mandra feeling fine, feeling just fine, Feeling

3
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: like everybody at work needs to stop mentioning the fact

4
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: that it can be any name.

5
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Now.

6
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: Oh you're getting close, aren't you? Thought I would send

7
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: you this email? But let me know if I just

8
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: send it to someone else. I know it's getting close.

9
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: I'm like, leave me alone.

10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: I know it must be so much.

11
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: If the green light is on slack, I'm here until

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: further notice. When I'm not here, I won't be here.

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: You know.

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know. You feel bad for all

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: the texts that you send your friends when they were

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: expecting at the very end, and you're like, has it

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: happened yet? Has it happened yet, because it's happening to

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: me now, And I'm like, leave me alone. It hasn't

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: happened yet. I'll let you know. But uh yeah, feeling

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: feeling okay. I'm excited for I told you guys last

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: week that we were getting a jump on like holiday decorating,

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: and we had all of our friends come over and

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: decorate our house. Looks ridiculous because I realized that it's

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: mid November and we have all of our lights up.

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: We have a Christmas tree. That's nice though it is nice.

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean, realistically, it was the only way we were

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: going to be able to, like we were going to

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: have time the babies do December, like early December. We're

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: going to have time to do it if we waited,

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: and it was you know, before Thanksgiving and all that.

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: So but it was it was a lot of fun.

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: But now I just feel so silly. I'm like, how

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: do you keep a Christmas tree alive for a month

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: and a half. I'll find out.

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: We'll see, Oh, you have one of the real Christmas trees. Yeah,

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: we're not doing all that.

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: Husbig got super sentimental about it. He's like, maybe we

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: should go chop down our own. I'm like, oh, let's

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: just take it down. He's like, well, next year we

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: can go with the baby and chop it down. I'm like, okay,

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: all right. It's being very like Norman Rockwell, oh right now.

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're like I've learned, like in wifing that like

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: I say okay to the things that we're not doing,

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: but you say it now because you're like, you know,

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: when it gets to that time, we'll just make it

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: clear it's not happening. But it doesn't make sense to

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: fight a year in advance. I've learned that lesson.

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: That is true. You have to pick your battles, you know. Yes,

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: the whole Tesla conversation I've managed to put off for

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: about five years now. Unfortunately it hasn't died though, so

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to approach the battle line eventually,

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to square off.

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: No, There's been so many things that I've learned that, like,

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: because like Superman will go hard for something and I'm like,

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, absolutely not. And then I realized, like,

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: you know what, this is kind of like a temporary thing,

57
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: so we can battle it out, only to find out

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: later he you know, it's not even that serious. So

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: I've learned to be like, well, is the thing that

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: he's saying we should do or have or by is

61
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: it something that we're actually going to get right now,

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: like within like a week or so or a month

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: or so. No, if it's a year from now, six

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: months from now, I'm like, one, it could fall off,

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: he might not be as interested, and two, you know,

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: something could have happened where it's just not something that

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: he's focused on. Because I used to battle over everything

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: and I would always win, and then he'd be like

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: mad about that, the fact that I was always winning,

70
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, girl, you didn't even have to battle.

71
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: He didn't even want it six months later, So I

72
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: really learned to be like I would say something like

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: huh okay, like not like a committing okay, but like

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, but really now it's not happening.

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm learning from all my I know, some

76
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: of the men are like what the three men that listen,

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, whatever, because here's the thing. Sometimes it's

78
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: not anything like, you know, like she's wanting to paint

79
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: a wall or something like that. Sometimes it'll be things

80
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: that are doesn't make sense for our family. I'm like,

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get a third car. There's two adults here.

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I have a car. You have a car just because

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: it snows in Jersey a few months out of the year.

84
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm not getting a jeep. Like I don't even leave

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: the house hardly, dude.

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: I'm only on the second car argument right now, and

87
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, there's just it's always something else. It's like

88
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: if you say yes to one thing, it's like, oh, okay,

89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: well now it's this like there's a home right now,

90
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: and now it's about like let's build a deck in

91
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: the backyard, and like there's always something else. It feels

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: like what I have tried to do is give him easy,

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: like give me like take an l every once in

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: a while that maybe it hurts my pride because I

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: like to win, but he he keeps score. Maybe it

96
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: was just like the worst thing you can do right

97
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: in marriage. But yeay, we're breaking all the rules. He's

98
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: like you always, you know, you're whatever you say always

99
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: goes and dah da da da dah. And I'm like, yeah,

100
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: boo hoo, fine, why don't you choose where we're going

101
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: to dinner tonight? Even though I think I choose better nobody.

102
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm learning, Like because my friend Rihanna has been married,

103
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I think I think she's been with her husband. I

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: want to say like fifteen, no, no, maybe like twenty

105
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: years altogether, but married. I think like fifteen of the

106
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: twenty years. And I really watched how she navigates. I'm like, oh,

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: that's good girl. She's our girl. We ain't been married

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: this long happily with us. She's like, I learned to

109
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, let him have that. It's

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: not even that serious, like because she's also most women

111
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: like to win, and she's like, but I've learned that, Like, girl,

112
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: it's not that serious. Because she was like, because when

113
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: you have to really battle for something, you're gonna want it.

114
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: So you know, if it's like, you know, like we

115
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: really don't need extra Jordan's, but go ahead, or we

116
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: really you know, I don't want to have you know,

117
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: pizza for dinner tonight, but what is like it's it's

118
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: not worth it. Like for the house, it was really

119
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: difficult because you know, I was like, how are we

120
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: going to do this? Because I cannot battle you every day.

121
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: So we came to a nice compromise where he could

122
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: do whatever he wanted in his man cave, and he

123
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: got even to expand his man cave and that it

124
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: wasn't just like one room. It was true, we have

125
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: an open space room in the basement and then a

126
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: room that's like you know, behind a closed doors, so

127
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: he got the whole basement. It actually looks great. Like

128
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: he was able to like get his like metallic swirly floor,

129
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: which were not cheap. He was able to paint whatever

130
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: color he wanted. So the rule was I had no

131
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: say in the basement, but then I got to do

132
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the house. So it was when I

133
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: tell you, that was the best rule we ever made,

134
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: because whenever he came up it was like, we should

135
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: do magenta. I'd be like, so, just referring back to

136
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: our rule, I got the rest of the house, you

137
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: get the basement.

138
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's always annoying when they care about things that

139
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: you didn't think they would care about. I'm like, oh, did.

140
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: You want to say in this like it's some of

141
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: men like really like the fancies himself an interior designer.

142
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, sir, we lived in your colorful Matchla path

143
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: for five years. We're not doing that. Like literally we

144
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: had a green a green laundry room, and an orange kitchen,

145
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: a magenta living room. I mean it was rainbow city

146
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: up in that house. And I was like, I'm not

147
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: doing that here. I want an adult space. Not that

148
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: space was an adult, but it was very clearly his

149
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: like bachelor pattern. He thought he was doing something with

150
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: all these colors, and I'm like, whatever, we're not doing

151
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: that here, so but now he loves it now. He's like,

152
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't get it before, but I love

153
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: it now. It's very adult and understated, but but elegant.

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: So see at the end, when I win, we all win.

155
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: Is what I think. But it's hard to convince an

156
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: independent man of that. I'm like, oh, I got the

157
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: one that pushes back. It's annoying. My mom's so annoying.

158
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: She's always like I like the way and riy Kue

159
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: talks back. I'm like, shut up, whose side are you on?

160
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: Oh Man?

161
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: So Thanksgiving you are you're getting you said you're getting things,

162
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: geting catered right, yes, but you're hosting at your house.

163
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the first time. I'm excited. So it'll be

164
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: Superman's family and my family, so we're gonna have a

165
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: good old traditional Thanksgiving. I'm excited because Vondam, who did

166
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: my birthday party and our wedding reception, is catering. Not

167
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: that she'll be there like passing out food, but you know,

168
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: we'll just go pick it up. But yeah, I'm excited

169
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: because but her Drell's family, they're gonna bring food on

170
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: my side of the family as well. But so everybody

171
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: will bring food, but I think like the base food,

172
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: like you know, the macaroni and cheese, collar greens, candy,

173
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: dam it's a turkey, Like we're gonna just have bodo

174
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: making because I'm like, well, I'm not gonna do is

175
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: stress about making my first Thanksgiving when I'm not even

176
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: like like someone like I can cook. I think people

177
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: think like that, ain't ever cooks Like I just made

178
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: dinner chili, white rice, saltate spinach. I mean, I can cook,

179
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: but I'm not your throwdown in the kitchen like you

180
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: know some women like get down, get down. I don't

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: get down, get down. I just here's your food. It

182
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: does taste good, but I'm not getting fancy. So I'm

183
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: certainly not making Thanksgiving for the first time, not that

184
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: I never will, but not this time around, not with

185
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: his cook and throw down family coming because they cook

186
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: fair enough.

187
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: Also, it's like there's there's pressure. Everyone's got their expectations

188
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: of Thanksgiving, especially when you're like blending families the way

189
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: that they've always done it, and you know, like it's

190
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 2: I get a little especially because my family, my husband's family,

191
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: doesn't have traditional Thanksgiving in their family like we did.

192
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: Like I did growing up, and it's just, yeah, it's easier. Like, honestly,

193
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: I think we're going to his cousin's place, and I

194
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: think we're just gonna like they're gonna get it catered

195
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: from some you know, like I don't know some like

196
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: what do you know, stew Lennards. Apparently people are obsessed

197
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: with stew Lennards. It's like up there with Wegmans, which

198
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: people are also weirdly obsessed with. People are so weird

199
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: about grocery stores. But whatever. Yeah, so they do a

200
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: whole Thanksgiving dinner and I just agreed with the hostess.

201
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: I was like, let's just get this thing catered. No

202
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: one has to cook. I'm certainly not trying to cook,

203
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: and then you know, the pressure's off and everyone can

204
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: just enjoy and then if it's not great, you can

205
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: blame it on whoever made it, not you know, not

206
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: your family exactly.

207
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: And honestly, Vonma cooks really well. I mean obviously that's

208
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: why she's catering, so it's gonna be delicious. I just

209
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of hope that there's enough, because both my family

210
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: and his family are very much to go packers, so

211
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: so much so that in their their group chat. He

212
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: had to do like a gentle reminder that the goal

213
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: packing plates will not be put out until the end

214
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: of the evening. People will pack and I'm not gonna

215
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: lie I've done this. People will pack it to goal plate,

216
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: put it up and hide it and then go get

217
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: their regular plate. He wasn't gonna save that night. I said,

218
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: let me type it for you, because what you're gonna

219
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: say is not going to be very nice. And he

220
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: was like, you don't know some of my family members.

221
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know because I'm one of them,

222
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: so I'm not here to be judging.

223
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: You pack it to go plate and hide it. That's

224
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: so funny, yes, and.

225
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Then they by regular plate like that. By the end

226
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: of the night, some of the good food's gonna be gone.

227
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: So I said, well, day, I guess I have to

228
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: be a good I have to be a good hostess

229
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: and not do that.

230
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: That's a real scarcity mindset to bring to the dinner

231
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: table at Thanksgiving. I have survived in colonial times.

232
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: You put my food up, you know what I mean.

233
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: First of all, it's terrible. You know, many times when

234
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: when I'm at someone's house and I've done those Shenanigans

235
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: and I'm looking for a hiding place for my food,

236
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: only to see other people's food hidden. I'm like, oh,

237
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: so we all get down like this. You're open like

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: a cabinet and there's three places in there already.

239
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 2: I'm like, food, that's funny. Now, that's how it is

240
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: with my dad cooks. It's like, come on, that's just

241
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: the way it is. It's tradition, definitely, when you go

242
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: to a party, like it's like the Dominican tradition. There

243
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: are overlaps. There are overlaps between my Dominican family and

244
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: my Atlanta Georgia family. That's all I'm going to say.

245
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: And how they conduct themselves at family gatherings and the

246
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 2: aluminum foil has to come out. And if people don't

247
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: get to take a plate home, then did they really

248
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: have a good time? Yes, you get judged.

249
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous about that. I'm like, I don't

250
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: know because I told Vonna to cook for forty, but

251
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: I feel like we're legitimately going to have forty people.

252
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, is that going to be enough? Because you know,

253
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not a good Thanksgiving if you

254
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: didn't get a good size to go, plate to go.

255
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: You know, so let's you're not like dead from being

256
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: so full, like yeah, way of hungry.

257
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: Well hungry, and you have to go with to go play,

258
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: like it's like it's mandatory. But I think that with

259
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: like his side of the family and my side of

260
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the family also bringing additional food, we should be okay.

261
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 1: But it's definitely something that I'm nervous about, Like is

262
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: it gonna be a nuh well.

263
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: What else has gone besides the holidays? You're going to

264
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: tape the real next week?

265
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: I sure am so today, Like you're no travel rule,

266
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: I know, but it's my last it's the only travel

267
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: that I have scheduled for the end of the year.

268
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: But I honestly I have not gone anywhere. I think.

269
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the last place I went was maybe

270
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: a month or so ago, I went to DC. So

271
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: I honestly have not traveled much this year at all.

272
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: And if I have travel, it's been super local, like Philly, DC,

273
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, New York, Like I was in New York

274
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: today taping some called an s m C And you know,

275
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: one day we should talk on the podcast about like

276
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: ways that folks can make money. I know, influencer is

277
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: like a dirty word, but if done properly, you can

278
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: be an influencer that makes a decent amount of money

279
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and maintain your integrity because I think there are ways

280
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: that you can make money online that people are not

281
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: hip to. And Lynette cop Fonnie Cock's one of our faiths.

282
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: She's one of my mentors. She hit me to the game.

283
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: So I would love to hip our audience to the

284
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: game of ways that I make money that you probably

285
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: don't even realize that you know that don't require the

286
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: super heavy lift. So I did one of those ways

287
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: today called the SMT a satellite media tour. You make

288
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money in a short period of time

289
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: and then you go back to your regularly scheduled shenanigains.

290
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I go back to the real and then honestly,

291
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: these days not gonna lie. I just look the opportunities

292
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: that there are coming. I'm just like not as interested

293
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: as I used to be. I'm just tired. So maybe

294
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: it could be the IVF medicine, because they have a

295
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: new medicine and I think it's like wearing me out.

296
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm tired. I feel like I'm sleeping all the time.

297
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: Well, listen to your body.

298
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: Mm hm, that's what That's what someone told me today.

299
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm sired.

300
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,479
Speaker 2: I sound like my mom. I'm like, fine, yeah.

301
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: My body. You what's what's new with you?

302
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: Oh? That's all just prepping, just propping, getting out, trying

303
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: to stay active, trying to tend like nothing at all

304
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: is happening. Even though I'm walking around. I feel like

305
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: I have like a ticking time bombs strapped to my

306
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: chest and like at any moment it's going to go off.

307
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: I just don't know when. That's pretty much how it feels.

308
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: You know. That's crazy. When you really think about it,

309
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, any day, that's crazy. Even though you're like,

310
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm prepared, I've done this, I've done that, but I

311
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: never thought about like what that must feel like. You're like,

312
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: so we're here now, okay.

313
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: It's very I mean, you have to go to the

314
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: doctor a lot and they like, you know, you get

315
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: examined a lot, which is very uncomfortable, and they yeah,

316
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I have prepared a lot, but there's

317
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: still the sense you haven't done enough and that you're

318
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: not ready and I don't know how to I think

319
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: that's just normal. Like I'm just you know, anyone in

320
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: this position, you just feel a little bit anxious and

321
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: and then you I will say, my friends and family

322
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: have done a really good job maintaining their own like

323
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: managing their own anxiousness and their excitement, and not like

324
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: putting that all on me, because that would just you know,

325
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: stress me out. I got my own feelings to think about.

326
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, no, I'm just I'm just hanging in there.

327
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: It's nice that the holidays are coming up. I'm looking

328
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: forward to it, you know. But we'll see you doing

329
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, man, Dick, Dick.

330
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: I will say this, don't do your baby dirty for Christmas,

331
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: right because my sister, poor, my sister Carol, her birthday

332
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: is the twenty first of December, so when she was younger,

333
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: they ustill rolled it all together like your birthday Christmas present.

334
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, no, that's not how that works.

335
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: So I don't think I can get away with that.

336
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: He's too early enough that there's enough distance. If you've

337
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: got more than two weeks, you can't do that.

338
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: No, but her birthday is just a few days before,

339
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: and I remember that happening and looking at her like, ooh,

340
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: they did your dirty girl.

341
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: Well.

342
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: And actually that's why her name is Carol. Are my

343
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: parents corny Christmas Carol?

344
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: That's cute. Actually, don't even get me started on the

345
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: name I the Lord have Mercy. We don't have a

346
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: name picked out yet.

347
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Oof.

348
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: All right, change is subject. Shall we do some questions?

349
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? We should do some question Someone actually hit me

350
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: in the They were like, love the podcast, have a question,

351
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: but of course I can't find it. But if I

352
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: find it, I would love to read her question because

353
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: I know she would be geek if I read it.

354
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: And I love when people hit me on on Facebook

355
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: or Twitter or Instagram and we read their question and

356
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: they're like, you read my question.

357
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: So that's always we do read them. We don't always

358
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: send you messages to let you know, because you know,

359
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: a lot happens, but we do do read them. Let's

360
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 2: take one from the gram. This one comes from a

361
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: listener who wants to remain anonymous, but has a bit

362
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: of a predicament about helping her mother out. Good afternoon.

363
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 2: She says, I'm in a bit of a panic. My

364
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: mother and I are immigrants. She came here to allow

365
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: me to go to school, thus she gave up all

366
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: her positions back home. I'm about to graduate next August. However,

367
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: my mother was recently fired from her job because they

368
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: said she wasn't learning at the pace they wanted. She's

369
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: fifty seven years old and terrified she can't get a

370
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: job because of her age. She put most of her

371
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: money into my education, and she barely has any savings

372
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: Right now. With my job, I'm working from four to

373
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: eleven PM because I'm not fully certified. My pay is

374
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: barely minimum wage. I've got one more semester to graduate,

375
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: but I'm wondering if i should just drop out and

376
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: help her out. She's an accountant with at least ten

377
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: years of experience. We're both a little terrified and not

378
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: sure what to do next. Ah, my heart breaks for them.

379
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: That's really difficult. I mean, take out the fact that

380
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: her mother's not from this country originally, although she has

381
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: ten years of experience in the States. Working to be

382
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: fired or let go in your late fifties, it is

383
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: a vulnerable place to be, no matter how much we

384
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: want to think that there are tons of opportunities. Agism

385
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: in the workplace. Is it real? It's so so real.

386
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: Whether it's intentional or unintentional. People do discriminate against people

387
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: at that age. So it's a it's tricky, but it's

388
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: very tricky. But I feel like sacrificing your own career

389
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: prospects may not be the And I'm also wondering if

390
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: she were to drop out of school, what could she

391
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: do to help, like get you know, for herself, like

392
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: drop out and get a job maybe is higher paying,

393
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: but then she puts her own career in hold. And

394
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: I can't imagine her mom would want her to do that.

395
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: She wouldn't because she didn't sacrifice for that quite honestly.

396
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wondering. I mean, if they're if you're in

397
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: the US, I mean, with ten years of experience, she

398
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: should qualify for unemployment benefits, right. I know that it's

399
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 2: not I know it's not permanent. I know it's not

400
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 2: obviously doesn't come with you know, health benefits that are

401
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: super affordable. It may not be what she was making before,

402
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: but it's something to make ends meet in the meantime.

403
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Did she say if her mother's a citizen.

404
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: She doesn't say if she's a citizen or not, just

405
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: that she has ten years of experience here I'm gonna

406
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: guess she has some sort of residency, permanent residency or

407
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: something like that if she's able to work.

408
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: And I know this might seem like, I mean, I

409
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: don't know how super savvy your mother is with like

410
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: online things, but the truth of the matter is one

411
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: of the number one things that people ask me for,

412
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: like my entrepreneur friends, is for an accountant. I'm wondering,

413
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: you know how maybe your time would be best spent,

414
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, like going to school finishing, but seeing if

415
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: you can find folks that are looking for an accountant,

416
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: because that's honestly the number one thing. Like I told you, Carlos,

417
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: my accountant told me that I'm no longer allowed to

418
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: say his name out loud, even though I just said it,

419
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: because I have said so many people to him that

420
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: he is inundated. He can't take on any new clients,

421
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. I mean, there are people

422
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: celebrities that have reached out to me and they're like, oh,

423
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: please connect me to Carlos, And Carlos was like, I

424
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: don't care if it's Oprah herself, well maybe Oprah, but yeah,

425
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: but you know that he can't take on a new

426
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: folks so what that lets me know is that somebody

427
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: who is an accountant that there is money out there

428
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: and folks are looking for an accountant. And so I

429
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: don't know if that could give you a little hope

430
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: or like how you would connect. There's a group on

431
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: Facebook called It's by Arsha Jones. It's called like build It,

432
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: brand It, launch It something like that. Build brand launched

433
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: by Arsha Jones, Rsha A r Sha and in it

434
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: are so many new and established entrepreneurs and folks are

435
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: looking for an accountant. So that's potential. Like just recently,

436
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: quite honestly, I was looking not for an accountant to

437
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: replace Carlos, but I was looking for someone like because

438
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: Carlos is my big accountant that I meet with quarterly.

439
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: I was looking for someone on a day to day

440
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: basis that would be able to help with that. So

441
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: people are looking.

442
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,440

Speaker 2: are looking for a part time accountant or you know,

457
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: someone to just assist them with their bookkeeping. Yes, I

458
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: imagine there's a lot of small business owners, entrepreneurs, independent

459
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: contractors who could use help. It's the end of year too,

460
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 2: so I feel like people are getting their shit together

461
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: for tax season. So you know, it may be an opportunity.

462
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: It just may It just may be, you know, a

463
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: little bit more legwork than going to job boards. I

464
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: think being a little bit creative might be the answer exactly.

465
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: And that's really what I think, and especially like quite honestly,

466
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: she's got a career that isn't high demand because there

467
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: are so many new entrepreneurs. So even if it's not

468
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: like straight out accounting work bookkeeping work. I mean, people

469
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: are still are starting to understand the value of really

470
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: having some sort of financial person on their team.

471
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, help her figure out maybe what a good

472
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: hourly rate is and to be. And the sad thing

473
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: is that if you're doing it online, you're not seeing

474
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: people in person. There's not a chance that your physical

475
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: like physically like your image as an older woman, which

476
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: it's sadly enough, could diminish your chances of getting like

477
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: a second interview. Like online, there's a bit more, I

478
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: don't know, a greater chance for anonymity at least, and

479
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: let your credentials speak for themselves first and foremost. And

480
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: you know, as far as like trying to fight against

481
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: ageism in the workplace, I'd love to hear from listeners

482
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: if you feel like you've encountered or that, or if

483
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: you have any tips there, because it's something I think

484
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: about a lot even when I hire, like how to

485
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: not let my own internal bias get in the way

486
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: of you know, candidates, you have a ton of experience

487
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: because you can tell yourself like, oh, they're so senior,

488
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: will they be happy in this role? You know they're

489
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: so they have so much experience, can we afford them,

490
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 2: and you may start questioning before you even get them

491
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 2: in the door in the first place, and it's just

492
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 2: you know, it's genuinely not fair to people. Or you're thinking,

493
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking this, but you may be thinking, like, oh,

494
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: they're close to retirement, how long will they want to

495
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: work for? Well, people are working into their seventies now,

496
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: you know, eighties in some cases. Bernie Anders hello, and

497
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: half the presidential candidates. But it seems like anyway, yeah,

498
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: so interesting, and I mean, I wish you guys all

499
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: the best, But ultimately, I don't think either of us

500
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: thinks you putting your own education and career on hold

501
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: when you're so close graduating.

502
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: It's not I don't think that that's the because she

503
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: didn't sacrifice for that, honestly, you know, yeah so and

504
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: plus two, in the long run, you're going to be

505
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: able to help her even more, you know, bye by

506
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing, which is finishing school.

Speaker 2: Fabulous And when does it kick off? In January?

526
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Yes, we haven't really started. I mean, like the truth is,

527
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: I mean, lokey. They're automated, so you can start now

528
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: if you wanted to. But if you're wanting to do

529
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: it collectively with like thousands of thousands of women because

530
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: we support each other, then I'm gonna be doing like

531
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: a big push at the end of December to get

532
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: everyone signed up. So we can do. We could start

533
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: the first Monday in January together, because literally every single

534
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: day I'm there with you, holding your hand, making sure

535
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: you're good, because sometimes you need, especially in the beginning

536
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: of the year, some of that extra handholding. So so

537
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: you can start it now, but if you'd like to

538
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: do it with a with a group, then you can

539
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: wait until the end of the year when I post

540
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: and share it and I'll share it on brown Ambition

541
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: when we're doing.

542
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: It perfect though it's not nat season without a Tiffany

543
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: Liverature Challenge.

544
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: I know I almost didn't do it. Honestly, what I've learned,

545
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Like today I'm like, I feel like everything is falling apart.

546
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: But then I was like, oh, that's right. I forgot

547
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: that when things get hard, then that is a clear

548
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: indication that I am leveling up. It's been like a

549
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: little while i've been like at the level I'm actually

550
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: doing it like the arm the armspring, love never love,

551
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: although I cannot dance very well. But so today I

552
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: was thinking to myself, Wow, everything we're doing is like

553
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: not doing I'm so used to like things going fairly smoothly,

554
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, why are there so many things

555
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: that are not going so smooth, you know, and all

556
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the things I'm working on, not personally that's going great,

557
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: but professionally. And then I was like, oh, I forgot

558
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: that whenever I am like, whenever I've kind of maximized

559
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: all that I can do at this level, then it

560
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: gets rough because it means that I've outgrown the tools

561
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: and resources that this level can find useful. It took

562
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: me a minute to remember that, like, Oh, these tools

563
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: and resources, it's not that you're doing anything wrong, they

564
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: just don't work. It's like it's almost like you know, like, Okay,

565
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: you're thirteen and you're not wearing an eight and a

566
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: half shoe anymore. Is nothing wrong. It's just that you

567
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: wear a nine shoe and until you get those size nines,

568
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: it's going to feel uncomfortable. And so that's what's been happening.

569
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: And today I realized that I addressed it with I

570
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: had a marketing team call and it kind of had

571
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: like the aha moment, like, oh, we have to navigate

572
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: differently because the way we're navigating now is not working

573
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: because we are we have outgrown those old ways. So

574
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: that's just kind of a message to anyone who is like,

575
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: why is anything going wrong? It's a mercury in retrograde.

576
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: Perhaps I think it is, But it also might mean

577
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: that you've outgrown your current tools and resources and it's

578
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: time to level up and time to adopt new ways

579
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: to attack new challenges.

580
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: I was trying to remember the theme song for Growing

581
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: Pains because I was going to be clever and sing it,

582
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: but then I just like brain farted.

583
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: What is called page the song?

584
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: What is it?

585
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know that.

586
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: The best is waiting to be But say with the

587
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: nineties theme songs, they all end up sounding like each other.

588
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: Like I'll start singing the step by step one end

589
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: up singing family matters, and then I'm like into full

590
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: house somehow they all like they all have the same

591
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: common thread. All right, cool, all right, let's take one more.

592
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: Since that was a quick question, Let's call this listener

593
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: who wants to remain an indomis do you brain fart? Ashley? Okay,

594
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: Ashley says, And this might be a good question for you, Tiffany,

595

00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: has low expenses, which is good, yes, only making forty

609
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: dollars an hour as a freelancer though, and feeling like

610
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: she wants to build her business and save at the

611
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: same time.

612
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes those things actually are like oil and water. H Yeah,

613
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: So when you're starting a business, sometimes you have to

614
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: be okay with the fact that, yeah, Safians is not

615
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: really gonna happen right now, and I have to be

616
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: okay with that. Uh. I did not save for the

617
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: first four or five years of business. It was just

618
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: enough to be like, okay, head above water, ahead, above water,

619
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna drown. I'm not gonna let you drown.

620
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: And that's what it's like. That's why entrepreneurship is difficult

621
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: because like traditionally, you know, you work at a job,

622
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: you make money, you know that you're gonna save, you're

623
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: smart about it. But with entrepreneurship you kind of have

624
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: to suspend what would normally be responsible behavior. In that

625
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, so took this money out of

626
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: my retirement account. Not a good idea, but I did it.

627
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm not saving right now, and I'm paying

628
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: the minimum to everything and deferring on my student loans.

629
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Not the best idea when it comes to traditional personal finance,

630
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: but I did it. It doesn't always work out, That's

631
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: why it's not always a good idea. But if you're

632
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: saving just even a little bit now, you are way

633
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: ahead of the game because most folks in the beginning

634
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: are not saving anything because truthfully, there you know, it's

635
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of their business. So I would say, be

636
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: okay with not saving as much. Make sure, like right now,

637
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: keep your expenses as low as possible. You're like in

638
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: the beginning stage normally, I don't believe in over sacrifice.

639
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: There's those such thing as over sacrificed in the beginning stages,

640
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: like we're not going on vacation, sis, guess what YouTube

641
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: could teach you how to do your nails. That's what

642
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: it looks like in the beginning, until you can get

643
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: stable income coming in and you get to a space

644
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: where you're like, Okay, I'm making enough to cover more

645
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: than just basic life and I'm able to save a little,

646
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: and then you can rejoin the land of the living.

647
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: But in the beginning, starting an entrepreneur, starting a business

648
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: is really you're living alone amongst the dad. We're walking

649
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: around here like zombies, just trying to make things work.

650
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: And here's here's what's going to help you with this

651
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: feeling of not saving enough. You need to have other

652
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: entrepreneur friends. Because when I tell you, when I spoke

653
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: to my regular nine to five friends and I would

654
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: share like, yeah, so Verizona ain't getting at this. Once,

655
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: they'd be like clutching up parlativity. Well, when I spoke

656
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: to my entrepreneur friends, they're like either, okay. So what

657
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: I learned is that having entrepreneur friends helped to normalize

658
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 1: the craziness of entrepreneurship, and so I felt less crazy.

659
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you're late as well. Okay, Oh you're

660
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: not saving okay. Oh you moved to a room, so

661
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: did I. Oh you haven't driven your car because who

662
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: has gas money? So you have to reset your expectation

663
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: of what life is going to look like in the

664
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: beginning stages of your entrepreneurship journey. And it's going to

665
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: help to have other friends who are also going through

666
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: entrepreneurship because it will normalize what normally would not be normal.

667
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 2: All I would add to that is, so she already

668
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: is doing so many right things. She's living at home,

669
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: her expenses are super low, two fifteen rent, buying groceries,

670
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: And when you think about the advice around how much

671
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: to save for an emergency, you know, if you're living

672
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: at home, you're you're risk is so much lower. You know,

673
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: you don't have a full time job, right you're living

674
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: at home already. It's not like if you were to

675
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: lose your job you would have doesn't sound like you

676
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: have kids or a family relying on you. So the

677
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: need for you to have this stockpile of cash for

678
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: an emergency isn't quite as great right now, and you've

679
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 2: given yourself the room that you need to start building

680
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: your business. And even though you have thirty thousand dollars

681
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: in student loans and what's seventeen hundred dollars in credit

682
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: card debt? I would focus on paying that off as

683
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 2: soon as you can, first and foremost, and look at

684
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: that as a as a you know, form of saving

685
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: if you can. And then look at the way that

686
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: you're living as a form of saving too, like what

687
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: could you be spending if you didn't live at home?

688
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: You know?

689
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: So you are saving, You're just choosing to put your

690
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: savings into your business. It sounds like which when you're

691
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: young and just getting your start, that's acceptable. So I

692
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 2: agree with TIF. Take the pressure off to have some

693
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: big stockpile of cash and focus on what can you

694
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: do to invest in your business to grow it so

695
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: that you can fulfill you know, your ultimate goal, which

696
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: is to be an independent business owner.

697
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: And I will the one thing I will say is

698
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: that I it took me a while to understand this,

699
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't put all my emphasis on getting debt free,

700
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, And it took me, who is like super

701
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: debt adverse to understand that that. I instead was like, okay,

702
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I can put all because that's what I had. Student

703
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: loan debt fifty thousand dollars and then I had credit

704
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: card debt thirty five thousand dollars, and the first stages

705
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: of when I started my business, I was adamant, like,

706
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: I put all my extra funds and time and energy

707
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: that I was making toward getting rid of this debt.

708
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: So I paid off the credit card debt in like

709
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: two and a half years. I was like, yes, and

710
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: guess what, my business was doing nothing because I was

711
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: putting all that money into the credit card debt. And

712
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: not that I shouldn't have paid it, but knowing what

713
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: I know now, I should have been more moderate with

714
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: my paydown plan and instead invested that money back into

715
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: my business. Because then I said, Okay, I'm going to

716
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: put all that same energy into paying off my student

717
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: loan debt. And I started and I'm like, okay, you

718
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: have three in your business and you're not making any money. Like,

719
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: maybe let's rethink this instead. What if I put the

720
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: same energy and funds into the business. And I started

721
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: to do so, and within the next three years, the

722
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: business had made me enough that I had the fifty

723
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars as a lump sum payment to make to

724
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: the student loan debt. That's what I said about like

725
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: business operation when it comes to your money is different

726
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: than what I would normally suggest a regular person working

727
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: at a regular job, Like normally i'd say go attack

728
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: that debt. But as an entrepreneur, I'm saying, have a

729
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: debt paid down plan that's basically moderate, and you kind

730
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: of set it and forget it, and then put your

731
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 1: energy and money and funds into growing your business, because

732
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: if you do so, you can potentially make the money

733
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: to take care of that debt. Because I was I

734
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: was credit card debt free, but I was still broke.

735
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: And by the time I paid off my student loan

736
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: debt that I was a student loan debt free, but

737
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: now I had money because I focused on the business.

738
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: So but that was a hard lesson for me to learn.

739
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: It took like three or four years of brokeness to realize,

740
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: Like timply, you have to refocus your effort. If you're

741
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: living home and you're making this sacrifice, make the full

742
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: sacrifice like you should be beasting. Like the first year

743
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: I was lazy with it. I was like, ooh, I

744
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: get to nab. I'm an entrepreneur, not being you know,

745
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: like you should be beasting normally. I'm all for harmony

746
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: and balance. Not in the beginning. You should be putting

747
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: the like the best that you have into it to

748
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: see is this something that could really work? Because the

749
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: seed you plant now, this is the fruit that you're

750
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: going to eat later. I have a whole orchard worth

751
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: of fruit, and I look, it's not because I'm a

752
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: super beast right now, but it's because I was a

753
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: super beast in the beginning. So I'm picking all that

754
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: fruit now. So put in as much effort as you

755
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: can see if this thing.

756
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 2: Can work, well said, and I'll just shut up because

757
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: how can you follow that. I'm just trying to, you know,

758
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: give you, give you the space that you need to shine.

759
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: That's all that's all I do.

760
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,279

00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: know how these companies make money. But if you're I

790
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 2: love sending holiday cards, but I hate like the work.

791
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 2: It sounds like a lot of work to get send

792
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: out holiday cards, et cetera. And this is not a

793
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: promotion for any one particular company, how you know, But

794
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to name a company. They're not a sponsor

795
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: anything like that. But every year I just go to

796
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: like either Shutterfly or Snapfish. I don't know how they

797

00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: cheap to get like cards made. And it makes me

803
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,399

Speaker 2: bunch of thank you notes made for my baby shower

812
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,680

00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: has something like eighty pages. I don't know. There's just

821
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how that.

822
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: But all you have to do is Google.

823
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: If you're going to these sites, don't spend full price.

824
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: There's just no excuse. They'll even have the promo code,

825
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: like if you go to their they have like a

826
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 2: discount page or or have it like at the bottom

827
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: of the page or even at the top banner, you know,

828
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: promoting it. Don't ask me how they make money, but

829
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: I guess the margin's really good on these products, but

830
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: it's really and then you'll get it within a week.

831
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: I feel like it always comes super fast. So don't

832
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: do it old school and go to Papyrus and overspend

833
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: on because I used to do that all the time.

834
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: Go to Papyrus and like spend a ridiculous amount of

835
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 2: money on you know, the physical cards because they can

836
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: just do it for you. It's it's fabulous.

837
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,600

Speaker 1: one of those have you ever heard of like momentum.

844
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: It's like it's like one of uh, there's another one

845
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: that's a popular landmark. Have you ever heard a landmark?

846
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 2: It's like landmark, what.

847
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: It's if that's what it's called. It's like one of these,

848
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: Like it's like a self improvement typically it's like a

849
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: weekend and you get to learn more about yourself and

850
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: you know, like things that you're doing that are that

851
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: are in alignment with your desired outcome and things that

852
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: are not. And one of like every time she came back,

853
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: she really enjoyed it. Every time she came back. We

854
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: talked about some of the things that she learned, and

855
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: one of the things that she said that she learned

856
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: is like, really that relationships are everything, literally everything, and

857
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: sometimes like for me, because sometimes I'm I feel so

858
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: pulled and overwhelmed that when I get a moment, I

859
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: won't net with new people. So like, yeah, I hang

860
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: out with my friends and obviously my family, but sometimes

861
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: and someone's like, oh, I'd love to go out to lunch,

862
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, girl, Like my default is like I'm

863
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: gad now, let's still found call. And I had the

864
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to do that yesterday. I'm working with this brand

865
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: that I really like and they invited me to dinner,

866
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: and my knee jerk was like, nah, girl, I'm good,

867
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: Like I'm just gonna come do my thing tomorrow and

868
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, like y'all that's what y'all paying me for.

869
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: But then this other part of me remembered when I

870
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: was speaking with my sister and she was like, you know,

871
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: making the effort to connect with folks just for connecting sake,

872
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: And so at first I said no, and then I

873
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I will go to dinner

874
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: and it was like such a good time. You know.

875
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't like I mean, we didn't talk about business.

876
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: It was myself, my agent, the brand, and the brand's partner,

877
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: and I was just like wow. We talked about everything

878
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: from motherhood to being a woman in business to being

879
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: a woman of coloring. But like, it's just it was

880
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: just such a good time. And I thought to myself,

881
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: I would have missed out on this because you know,

882
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Sometimes it could be a lot that's

883
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: going on, but how you alleviate the feeling of a

884
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: lot that's going on, it's really through interpersonal connections. And

885
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: it was just a good reminder that you know, everything's

886
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: not like a business transaction. Sometimes people are just wanting

887
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: to connect to connect, and that connecting is really what

888
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: it's what makes life worth living and that I don't

889
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: want to jump from transactions to transaction. So just a

890
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: boost to you know, interpersonal connecting and making that a

891
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: priority and you know, saying yes to more in person

892
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: connections because like I said, people ask all the time

893
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: like oh my gosh, I'm gonna be in Jersey. I

894
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: would love to connect and I'm like nope, They're like

895
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: you don't even know what I'm coming. I'm like nope,

896
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: because I just sometimes, like I said, I feel so around.

897
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm like lunch or this bed, this bed, and I'm like, say,

898
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: if any get the house. So if you're needing that

899
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: kick in the butt, this is your sign. If you

900
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: need a sign, get out of the house. Connect with folks.

901
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: Everything is not a transactions. Sometimes it's just connecting for

902
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: connecting sake. And what ended up happening is that the

903
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: brand Liaison loved me so much that I could totally

904
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: tell they're going to use me again and again. And

905
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: that wasn't the attention it was like but she was like, girl,

906
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: you are amazing. Yesterday was so great hanging out with you.

907
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for us to work with you over

908
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: and over again. I was like, what, okay, So, yeah,

909
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're missing out on when you

910
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: when you don't connect with folks.

911
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 2: And especially because i mean just on a personal note,

912
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,239
