1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: We're approaching the halfway point for the year. And I

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: remember back in January I said, twenty twenty five smells

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: like money, honey. I think what I meant to say

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: was maybe like the back hand.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you'd be surprised by having something just like a

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: little bit not related to your business that you can

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: play with ends up, you know, helping you out a

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 2: little bit in the end when you come back with

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: fresh eyes.

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: All Right, I'm open to like things that maybe a

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 3: little more enjoyable and creative that are didn't for what

12
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: I normally do.

13
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Sounds like a good old midlife.

14
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: You know, just kidding. That's right, because me and Mandy

15
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: are basically forty so you know how it is.

16
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 4: Oh why you had to do that to many?

17
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: Forget that I edit the show and there's so much

18
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: I can just tell.

19
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically is basically forty crew. You know.

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Well, heyba fam, welcome to the Brown Table. It's been

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,360

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,080

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 5: and then then we all couldn't make it, and then

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 5: or Mandy could.

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: But we couldn't, and then we rescheduled.

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: But first make it sound like I don't just send

00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: No time to think, or it's just like, yeah, I

31
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: kind of feel like doing the Brown Table this week.

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 5: Though. That's authentic. Though, that's how y'all know. We're not scripted,

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 5: we're not rehearsing. We didn't go through this.

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: We just jump on and give you what we got

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: because we have no idea what's happening.

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Yes, and the last time y'all Nelly couldn't come, I

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: just canceled it. But today because y'all didn't want to

00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: just hear me and Chris, I.

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 5: Almost couldn't come. But it's just like, I'm at this hotel.

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 5: The WiFi is kind of rinkydinky, and I was like,

41
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 5: you know what, we're gonna We're gonna We're gonna give it.

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: We're gonna give it a shot. We're gonna give it

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: a go and see how it goes.

44
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Why not, it's gonna go great. I have a felt

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I recorded Brown Ambition from Mumbai, so I think Oregon.

46
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: I hope the Wi Fi can cut it, because yeah,

47
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, are you doing impressive things with your

48
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, testifying self.

49
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 5: Not this week. This week is a little more of

50
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: a personal trip. I came to visit one of my

51
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 5: best best friends for my first year teaching. She's living

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 5: in Portland right now. And then next week I actually

53
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: celebrate Jamel's fortieth birthday. So my partner's turning forty. So

54
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 5: we just needed to be on the west coast because we're.

55
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Going to go to Hawaii for his birthday. So we

56
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: sort of slowly made our way west.

57
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: That's so smart because that is a long ass flight

58
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: from the East coast.

59
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 5: Girl, the time zone difference is it gets, it hits you.

60
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 5: So we're slowly kind of itching our way over west.

61
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: But I'm excited for that.

62
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: I'm excited.

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: He's he's also excited.

64
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 5: He's he's like it took him a long time to

65
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 5: figure out what he wanted to do, like actually, because

66
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: we talked about all these different places and but you've

67
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 5: been you know, finally we made a choice and it

68
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 5: is Hawaiie.

69
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so excited for y'all, even though you already

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: live in a tropical vacation destination. Sure, yeah, another beach.

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 5: But come on, we can't compare them Miami to Hawaii.

72
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: They're just it's just different.

73
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 5: The water is different, the colors are different, the food,

74
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: the culture, it's just it's so different.

75
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 4: Now. I've been to Hawaii once before, but Jamil has

76
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: never been to Hawaii and also never been.

77
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: To Portland either, so this is like two first Portland

78
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: and also Hawaii will be like two first trips for us.

79
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: So that'd be nice, the two very different places, Portland

80
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: and Hawaii.

81
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna say, it's good to start the bar low

82
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: with Portland.

83
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: You know. I thought Portland was cute. Jamil's not. He's

84
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 4: not really feeling it. He's like, we could go yesterday. Yeah.

85
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what I like. I'll tell you

86
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: what I do like.

87
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: It is a little, you know, grungy, but in the

88
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: downtown area, but just thirty forty minutes drive and you're

89
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: in the middle of the woods. Truly liked like it's

90
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 5: that is. I don't think there's any other major city

91
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: where you can or have some major city but city

92
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 5: where you're in the city limits and you're in the

93
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 5: middle of the woods like that.

94
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: Was really cool to see. And then the second thing is,

95
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: I ain't seen.

96
00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: No McDonald's, Chapotle, red Lobsters, starbush, those crunchy organders would never.

97
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: That was so beautiful though I was walking around, it's

98
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: like all.

99
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: Really locally owned spots, like truly I was. I said, well,

100
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 5: I haven't seen not not a McDonald's in site, not

101
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: a Starguars in site.

102
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 4: So you know, that's kind of cute.

103
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: Chris, You're not gonna time in and let her know

104
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: about how far the woods are from San Francisco.

105
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to show up yan Ellie story, but

106
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: since you brought it up, yes, is it in.

107
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: The city limits?

108
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: Though?

109
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 4: Is it in the city limits.

110
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: In San Francisco? You know, it's only seven miles by

111
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: seven miles. It's tiny little spot. But you drive north

112
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: like twenty minutes and you're in mirror woods, redwood forests,

113
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: great trails. You at the beach over there, I say,

114
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: it's I organ is nice though too. You get the

115
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: quick exit to the forest. I say, San Francisco. It's

116
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: kind it's very similar. If you ever go get a

117
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: chance to come back out there and go up north,

118
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: you'd be right in some like crazy looking forests.

119
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 5: Nice. Okay, well you know I'm gonna check it out.

120
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna check it out.

121
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 5: I also feel like San Francisco is so expensive compared

122
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: to Portland, but in terms of nature.

123
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 4: I would give you that have to go check it out.

124
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: That is there, Betimes, you have to live in the

125
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: woods there.

126
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

127
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: Right, you said, you said Portland's kind of grungey. But

128
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: coming from New York, I'm surprised to hear you say

129
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: that because New York could be you know, New York's

130
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: got a spots where it's a little you know, while

131
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: like New.

132
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: York has its spots where it's a little while, but

133
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: I feel like it is in certain areas. I feel

134
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 5: like the entire entirely of Portland downtown is grunge.

135
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: At least from what I saw.

136
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Like cool grunge, like privileged white folks trying to be

137
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: alternative grunge, or like.

138
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 5: Parts are that, yes, some parts of that, and other

139
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 5: parts are just like the grunge that never quite got.

140
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 4: A little blow up. So god, it's just yeah, it's

141
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: all that versus New York.

142
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: I feel like there's it's pockets and you can you

143
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: can walk up the block, and all of a sudden,

144
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 5: it's not grungy anymore.

145
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: Now it's upscale. So just depending where you are, you

146
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: can really it can change. It colds really quickly.

147
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: But I didn't get that vibe here. Also, I literally

148
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 5: have been here for two days, so I don't know.

149
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: Maybe there's just more to see from just the downtown

150
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: that I've stayed in.

151
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: All right, we gave them enough free press. Go to

152
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Portland or not, on your way to Hawaii, on your

153
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: way away, no business, y'all. You know, May is underway

154
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: a rhyme, so she read a thousand children's book a day. Yes,

155
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: May is underway, and we're approaching the halfway point for

156
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: the year. And I remember back in January, I said,

157
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five smells like money, honey. I think what

158
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: I meant to say was maybe like the back hand.

159
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: And also I think the universe misheard me. They said, oh,

160
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: you want us to cost you a lot of money,

161
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: like the bills will get higher, which is like, not great.

162
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: But I feel I have shifted my business a little bit.

163
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: You know, I started out with Mandy money Makers. I'm

164
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: still doing Mandy money Makers. If you're listening, don't worry,

165
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: but it's such a great group in a community. And

166
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: between the podcasts that writing the book, what really fell

167
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: off was my ability to do one on one coaching right,

168
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: and I found a way to bring it back. Yeah

169
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: it So I'm doing it my my accountability buddy Nakala

170
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: shout out to Nakaela from side Hustle Pro. She talked

171
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: me into and then talk me into, but she showed

172
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: me a path where I could do if I got

173
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: people to sign up for a package of coaching, like

174
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: a twelve week I'm going to meet with you once

175
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: a week over the course of twelve weeks, We're going

176
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: to pick a goal and we're going to accomplish it

177
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: in that like three months. That I could package it

178
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: like that, and I could charge a price that honestly

179
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: is a great value considering that it's twelve weeks one

180
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: on one coaching. But also I am selfish. I want

181
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: to feel good when I have a one on one

182
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: coaching session, and the thing about a one off is

183
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: that and I'm usually I download. I'm very good at

184
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: like assessing the challenge and just like saying what the

185
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: other person what she needs to hear to get her

186
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: motivated and then action plan and so after like forty

187
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: five minutes to an hour or you're off this call.

188
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: And this is why I record all of my coaching

189
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: calls because I'm like, don't write all this down. I'm

190
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: going to send you the transcript. It's going to have

191
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: action items and it and then go forth and conquer.

192
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: But then the follow up if they don't join the makers,

193
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: I you know, I feel like I feel like a

194
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: trauma doctor, like an er doctor who you have someone coming.

195
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: It's like my leg is broken, I have this like

196
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: negotiation I gotta do or this, you know, my resume

197
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: is broken, and you fix it and then they go

198
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: off and you hope that they follow up with their

199
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: primary care and they get you know, so this twelve

200
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: week VIP coaching, I'm doing applications only because I really

201
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: want to work with women who have a goal in

202
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: mind and are very very motivated to achieve it. Because

203
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I want it to be a given a take, like

204
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: I want to feel like I have offered a real

205
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: transformation of real service, and I want her to feel

206
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: like she's actually she's like it's not just that she

207
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: knows what to do and has the action plan but

208
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: she has somebody to coach her through it. So I'm

209
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: very excited. And if you want to apply for Mandy

Speaker 1: and I'll put a link in there, and or you

212
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: can go to Mandy money dot com and check it

213
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: out there. But it's an application. I think I'm going

214
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: to take like three and see how it goes. But

215
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good about it, and I love that now

216
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: that I've submitted the manuscript for the book, I think

217
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: this is a really good way to spend the extra time.

218
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and honestly I love that. I do think that

219
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 5: that's like the hardest thing I've done one off coaching

220
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 5: where it's just like a one on one for an

221
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 5: hour and then it's like that's got a follow up email,

222
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 5: And like you said, it definitely is really hard to

223
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 5: know if it was applied, if this worked, if there

224
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 5: were challenges that came up, if you need to adjust

225
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 5: course or pivot. Like you it's one and done sometimes

226
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 5: and then or they have to read book, but it's

227
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 5: just not the same. So I really love that ongoing

228
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: because that's honestly what coaching should be.

229
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: Or if you go to therapy or if you go.

230
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: To coaching, it's not like you do one session and

231
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 5: then you're like thanks, do like it doesn't.

232
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: Work, Like yeah, no, you can't fix you can't fix

233
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: anything in an hour.

234
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Have y'all ever done like a VIP coaching like that

235
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: yourselves for any aspect of your business career, like kind

236
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: of worked with someone to get something done.

237
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: I've only done one hour one on ones. I did

238
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 5: small group coaching when I did, like the Rockerry boot camps,

239
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 5: and people wanted to actually like well in the class

240
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 5: we did like learning to be like, you know, a

241
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 5: couple hundred people in a zoom class, and then the

242
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 5: small groups would the small cohorts of three to five

243
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 5: people who would actually apply, so like we're gonna sit

244
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: down and apply what we learned in class. You're gonna

245
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 5: open your account right now, you're gonna ask me questions

246
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: along the way, and I'm like literally here handholding along

247
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: the way.

248
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: But that was still small groups.

249
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 5: I've never really done a one on one that goes

250
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: on for like a few months, and that's amazing.

251
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I'll be sick of me. But I mean, like, for

252
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: y'all personally, the one thing the reason I'm excited about

253
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: this is because I worked with the coach to write

254
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: the book proposal for my book that have went on

255
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: to get an helped me get an agent and then

256
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: get a book deal. And writing the book proposal, it

257
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: was one of those things where I knew what I

258
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: needed to do. I had so many friends, I mean, lord,

259
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: I talked to Tiffany all the time. She could just

260
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: give me. You know, she was like, take my proposal

261
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: and you know you can base it, you know, base

262
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 1: the format off of this, and YadA YadA, and you

263
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: know several friends who could have done that. Yeah, Ellie,

264
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: you've written a book. But knowing that you need to

265
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: do it, and then sitting down and like doing the work,

266
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to get it done in like

267
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: a three to four month timeline, and I was like,

268
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to get pregnant at the end of this,

269
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: so I need to you know, I was really playing

270
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: in my year and I work with the coach and

271
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: it was wonderful because yes, could I have written the

272
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: eleven week step or whatever the plan step by step? Sure,

273
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: But I also knew that Rachelle was going to be

274
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: waiting for me on Zoom she's a very mean, scary lady.

275
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: She's not, She's so she's so cool. But I it

276
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: really worked for me, and I'm someone who really does

277
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: get shit done. But I'm hoping to give the same

278
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: feeling too and the people I work with.

279
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, coaching is a game changer. I personally

280
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 5: have worked with the coach more so for the types

281
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: of goals that are things that I'm not motivated to do,

282
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 5: so fitness training.

283
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: I have a fitness coach. I just feel like for

284
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 4: me when it comes to.

285
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 5: Like my business, that's like the stuff that like I

286
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 5: wake up going like, oh, I can't wait to do

287
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 5: this or do that, or like, you know, to put

288
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 5: this presentation deck together for this speaking opportunity that I got,

289
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 5: Like I'm so excited. Literally a couple of weeks ago,

290
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: I did a partnership with Jordan Brand where I got

291
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: to speak to the top sixty athletes in the country

292
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 5: right now at the high school level that are about

293
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: to go to college ball and I did financial literacy

294
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: training for them. We provided them with a part of yeah,

295
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 5: like a ton of coaching education, and it was just

296
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: amazing for me to think, like I would wake up

297
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 5: in the morning and just be like, the one thing

298
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 5: I want to do today is work on my slide deck.

299
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 4: So I can make it more fun, more engaging.

300
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 5: I could come up with some games that we could

301
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: play so they can like learn credit in a hands

302
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 5: on way. And so for that type of stuff, I

303
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 5: feel like I don't I haven't necessarily needed a coach.

304
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 5: And of course, like when it comes to increasing revenue,

305
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 5: yes I might get a coach for that, But where

306
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: I have gotten coaching, it's like the stuff where I

307
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 5: wake up and I go, oh, like I don't really

308
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: want to do it, and I need somebody to come

309
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 5: knock on my door and take my ass to the

310
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 5: gym and push me. Because I know that that's not

311
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 5: where necessarily I wake up, like it doesn't spark joy

312
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 5: for me to get up and go, you know, lift

313
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 5: weights or go do cardios. So I've gotten coaching there,

314
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 5: But I will say, just like recently, I've watched my

315
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: boyfriend like hire coaches for.

316
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 4: Very specific things.

317
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 5: You know. So he saw a software developer and he

318
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 5: wanted to create an app. He was working on it

319
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 5: on his own, and he just hit like this one snack.

320
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 5: He was like, I'm just not getting past this one point.

321
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 4: So he hired a coach to work with.

322
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 5: Him on that, and this is like a programmer who

323
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 5: has a lot.

324
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: More experience than him, and that was just amazing for him.

325
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 5: He was able to actually get this app done and

326
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 5: it's now being sold in the Slack app store.

327
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: And he's got a lot of customers, y'all.

328
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: He's making money off of the Slack app.

329
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: And he will never be able to get past.

330
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 5: That point if he didn't get the coach to really

331
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 5: just get past that one point.

332
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 4: Coach, she is a game.

333
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: Changer for sure, and I've seen it and I've experienced it,

334
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 5: so I do think there's definitely something there to the

335
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: ongoing coaching or like, hey, from this point A to

336
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 5: point B, we're gonna get to you know, these two

337
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 5: or three things done in that time frame, and having

338
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 5: that coach hold you accountable.

339
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: It can be, it can be make or break.

340
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: It's everything, you know. Like for me, I'm coming from

341
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: the opposite side of this where I am not very

342
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: self motivated, but I've never hired a coach and I'm

343
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: one of those people like don't worry, I'll figure it out.

344
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 3: I just I'll just stress myself out until I get

345
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: it done. But they feel like they're always rushing. And

346
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: I hearing you two talk about this name, we think like,

347
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: maybe this's something I should even check out because like

348
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: having someone because I've been like accountability with friends. But

349
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: then also, you know, if it's your friends, they're only

350
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: going to be so many. Unless your friends, Mandy, they're

351
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: only gonna be so many to you, right, They're gonna

352
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: be nice.

353
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: You don't want to call you out, but you don't

354
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: want due to your.

355
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: Coach, who's someone who can like they're not personally invested

356
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: in like your relationship in that way where they can

357
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: be more real with you and really keep you you, you know,

358
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: on it. I kind of like the idea that because

359
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: I'm someone who's like I can procrastinate for days, you're different.

360
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: You are it is Hey, ba fam, we gotta take

361
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: a quick break, pay some bills, and we'll be right back.

362
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: All right, ba fam, We're back. Chris. What would you?

363
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: What does popcorn finance? Chris nine?

364
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: You know what, I think, I'm not a very strategic thinker.

365
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: Like I can come up with some ideas, I can

366
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: do things that interest me, but me I'm thinking like

367
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: two weeks ahead. I'm not thinking months or years ahead.

368
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: Some last night, what's your plan five years now? Five years?

369
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: Let me figure out what's having at the end of

370
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: the month, because I don't even know what that's to

371
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: look like.

372
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good one.

373
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: Actually, you know what, I agree with that I was talking.

374
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: It's so funny. I was talking to Tiff the other

375
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: day and I'm like, I think I need someone else

376
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: for them to help me with the podcast. I think

377
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: I need a strategic thinker, and she's like, yeah, there

378
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: used to be two of you. But you know, Tip

379
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: was never like fully fully on the strategic part with me.

380
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know that. I want to

381
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: keep doing like the growth and strategic thinking behind Brown

382
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: Ambition and all my big, bold, ambitious plans. I'm such

383
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: a this word sounds so douchey, a visionary where I'm

384
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: a creative person. I see where I want to go

385
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: and I get very excited and I'll do a couple

386
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: of things, but then it's like, oh, wait, you have

387
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: the day to day that you need to get done

388
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: as well, and then those like big ideas sort of

389
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: start to So I want to think that far ahead,

390
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: but combining the long term thinking with the two week

391
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: out thinking is really hard for one person to do,

392
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: and so I have been I don't know if it's

393
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: a coach I need or just a like a business partner,

394
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: someone who is more on like the operations and not

395
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: even operations, but like, yeah, the growth monetization strategy. I'm

396
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: getting a lot of support from iHeart and I you know,

397
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: shout out to iHeart hey, and I'm lucky to have

398
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: a weekly call with their team, and they're connecting me

399
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: with other people on the network, and I'm learning a lot.

400
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping by the end of this year. I'm

401
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: not trying to make any decisions right now, but I'm

402
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: hoping by the end of this year, I'll have a

403
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: better sense of who I might need to help with

404
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: the overall strategy and what even a person like that word,

405
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: where do they exist? What are they doing? All? Okay? Why?

406
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right? And how do you find the good ones?

407
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

408
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: That's the part, because you can hire a coach and

409
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 5: then be so upset that it felt like a waste

410
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 5: of money. Because I've heard a lot of horror stories,

411
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 5: especially about coaches that aren't high you know, high high

412
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 5: priced coaching packages. But I think you know pretty quickly,

413
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 5: and that's also on you a little bit to like,

414
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: you know, how they say, like manage up. When I

415
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 5: worked with my just my fitness coach, when we first

416
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 5: started working together, it was like very consistent. At the

417
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 5: same time, we had this, you know, a very strict schedule.

418
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 5: And then once she got comfortable, we got a little

419
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 5: comfortable with us, I got a personal relationship, but be like, oh, can.

420
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: I come like a little bit later or a little

421
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 4: bit It would just.

422
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: Start changing all the time and the day of and

423
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: so then it's like, okay, if I just allow it

424
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 5: and I'm cool with that, that's now the new normal

425
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 5: for our coaching. And so I kind of be like, oh,

426
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 5: that's not that's not going to.

427
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 4: Work for me.

428
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 5: So I really do think like if you even just

429
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: have an inkling of like, wait, this coach isn't either

430
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 5: doing what they said they were going to do, or

431
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: holding the accountable in the way that I thought they

432
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: were going to, or holding the original agreement as it

433
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 5: was agreed upon, like that can meet, but do not

434
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 5: sit on it.

435
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: Do not say okay, but let me see if maybe

436
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 4: it gets better, Like no, no, no, I need a

437
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: bit in the bud.

438
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: So you have an opportunity to get the maximum value

439
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 5: from that coach and from the coaching program.

440
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tricky. Testimonials, recent testimonials all that's really important.

441
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like talk to I would It's like go

442
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: through a referral, you know, if someone worked with them

443
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: and raved about them, someone that you trust. That's really

444
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: the best way because there is no regulatory body like

445
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: out here trying to make sure these one off coaches

446
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: are doing a good job. So it is pretty that's.

447
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 5: True, which is kind of wild about it.

448
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: It really is.

449
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: Well what's going on? Well? Business wise? Well, Chris, you

450
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: didn't really say what's new with you biz wise?

451
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: You were saying, you know, talking about strategy. I've been

452
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: thinking about it for a while, like what's next. I

453
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: did take a little pause from the podcast and I've

454
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: been doing some other work with you did What does

455
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: that mean? So i'n't done an episode for about two

456
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: months now, and this is I've never taken a break

457
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: from the show. It's a big boss and I've never

458
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: taken a break.

459
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Are you stopping popcorn finance? Is it ever going?

460
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: It's going to come back? But I was trying to

461
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: be really strategic about what I wanted to look like

462
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: when it comes back, and you know, how do I

463
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: want to approach things. That's what I'm kind of been

464
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: working through, and I've been doing like other work for

465
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: like I still do a host a series for True

466
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: Lion Credit Union called money Bursts, So I've been I've

467
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: been kind of focusing on that, put some videos together,

468
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: put them contic those ideas there, while I'm kind of

469
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: thinking about what I want the podcast to look like

470
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: when I come back, So I might do some reformatting,

471
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 3: changing up the style a little bit, and I just

472
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 3: want to be consistent with it whatever I do, because

473
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: you know, I think sometimes have these ideas like oh, yeah,

474
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: this is what I'm going to do. I do for

475
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 3: like two weeks and I'm like, oh hold up, let

476
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: me I need to I get too busy. Let me

477
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: go back and do it the old way. So I

478
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 3: don't want to do that flip flopping back and forth.

479
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: I want to if I make a change, I want

480
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: to stick to it. So kind of thinking through that

481
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: and an idea for a new show, I shouldn't be

482
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: thinking of new things to do while I'm still trying

483
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: to figure out the old stuff. But I have a

484
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 3: new concept. I'm in the process of kind of like

485
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: really fleshing out a sleep podcast I've been thinking about.

486
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of doing both those at the same time.

487
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: Wait, I think I just gave sleep three easy.

488
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: I found out I didn't know these things existed till

489
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: like a little while ago. But basically, it's a podcast

490
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: that people used to go to sleep. So so it's

491
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 3: something that's not like, oh, complicated or kind of like

492
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: draws you in too much. It's like simple enough and

493
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: like low stakes enough that you can if you miss something.

494
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: I told you got that Quiet Storms V one O three.

495
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 5: Voice, he got it, you.

496
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Can get well. Like the calm app has stories, Like

497
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: people just tell stories. It'll be like Matthew McConaughey. But

498
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't. His was very annoying. Yeah, because like people

499
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: accent bother me.

500
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't have a calming voice. He's too it's

501
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 3: too unique.

502
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a children's book.

503
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm just dying that you wanted to sleep.

504
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: I will put people to sleep. So I'm kind of chucking.

505
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: So you're gonna your superpower is how you're boring.

506
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 3: You lean into it. Mandy's always hating on me, Like,

507
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: you know what, this hate is inspiring me. If your

508
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: hate makes me money, then I'll take it. Okay.

509
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: People would love to not listen to it.

510
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: All I'm gonna do is start talking about like tech.

511
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: I whenever talked to Mandy about her problems that she

512
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: always has, And I start going in detail, her eyes

513
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 3: just gonna glaze over, she slumps in her chair. Might

514
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 3: just there we go. That's somebody. I start reading manuals opportunity,

515
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: so what?

516
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: But it would be like, yeah, would it be you

517
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: like reading something or saying something to make people fall asleep?

518
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: Or are you actually like looking at how to sleep?

519
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 3: No, I'm not an expert to sleep. I couldn't help

520
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 3: you for your how to sleep. But it will be like, uh, what,

521
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out. How do I want to

522
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: do it. I don't want to go with like finding

523
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: short I would love to do like maybe some combination

524
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: of finding short stories from like like like small authors

525
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 3: or people want to submit stories that I could read,

526
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: or even just a round of I going.

527
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: Send me your stories. People can follow.

528
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 3: Submit your stories. People falls into or go like the

529
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: AI route and like get like somebody AI generated very

530
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: basic stories and like go through that because someone gave

531
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: me the idea of doing things that are very like

532
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: scenery and scenic based, like it puts you you listening

533
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: to yourself in an environment, but it's very like common

534
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: low stakes environment, Like it's like describing what's around you

535
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: and like you're going in this direction, so things like that.

536
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm trying to figure out exactly what it'll be,

537
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: and I might I'll probably do like some tests recordings

538
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: and see which one kind of works and like send

539
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: itis and people say, hey, what do you think about this?

540
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: Which worsch version do you like? And then yeah, try

541
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: to run with that.

542
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 4: That's cool, that's fun.

543
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 5: I honestly, I feel like everybody should have a project

544
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 5: that is just like exploratory where you can like a

545
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 5: B test and just learn because there's going to be

546
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: things that you're going to take from that that are

547
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: applicable to your business and you might not even realize it.

548
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 5: Because I've done and not necessarily because I wanted to,

549
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: but I have had to help a lot of like

550
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 5: family members with projects and things, and they just sucked

551
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 5: me into these things, and I'm like, all right, I'll

552
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 5: help you out, and then I end up learning so

553
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: much and I'm like, wait a minute, hold on, Like

554
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 5: I can do that, whether it's project management, whether it's

555
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 5: just like ay, be testing things that I then go

556
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 5: and try out, Like you'd be surprised by having something

557
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: just like a little bit not related to your business

558
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: that you can play with ends up you know, helping

559
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 5: you out a little bit in the end when you

560
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 5: come back with fresh eyes or fresh ears to take

561
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 5: popcorn finance podcasts back to the people.

562
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: You know, that's true because I did That's spend some

563
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: time up here with a couple of friends helping them

564
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: with like video projects. So I had a friend who

565
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 3: did a live podcast at KAWL, the NPR station here

566
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. So I did the video recording for

567
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: him at the at the station, I was helping someone

568
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: else with a live event they were doing at one

569
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: of these spaces that they were in it. So I

570
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: was like, I also, I kind of learned things about

571
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 3: video and auction while I'm doing it. And then also

572
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 3: it's kind of fun to like turn your mind off

573
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: on what you're used to doing and do something else.

574
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: Kind of I help Mandy and Tiffany with their live

575
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: podcasts out in New Jersey, and I doing stuff like

576
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: that is like a fun thing. I'm also like considering

577
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: that too, So all right now I'm open to like

578
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: things that maybe a little more enjoyable and creative that

579
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: are given to what I normally do.

580
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: Sounds like a good old midlife.

581
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: You know, kidding, that's right, because me and Mandy are

588
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: and she's actually been experimenting with like passive income from

589
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: creating YouTube videos of just AI generated like music. Like

590
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: she's like, I want to start a jazz channel on YouTube.

Speaker 1: go off, sis, try try that out. Those those little

597
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: like yeah, those ideas. But she says that's becoming like

598
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: a new potential passive income stream for people using AI. Yeah, Chris,

599
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: if you were going to do that podcast idea, I

600
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: would be like, for sure AI. I got to read, y'all.

601
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: I was trying to get through this article earlier because

602
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: it's so related to what we're talking about. Almost. It's

603
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: from a LinkedIn executive and it's in the New York Times.

604
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: I can post a link, but the headline is, I'm

605
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: a LinkedIn executive. I see the bottom rung of the

606
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: career ladder breaking. And this executive goes on to basically

607
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: outline all these signs of what we've known all along

608
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: that's been happening. It's like AI is to today's young

609
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: workers and honestly the whole workforce, what like manufacturing and

610
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: the net were to excuse me our parents generation and

611
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: our parents' parents generation in terms of like taking those

612
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: entry level jobs out of the picture, because they're usually

613
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: like the lowest, lowest hanging fruit that AI can take over, right,

614
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: And I was reading this and I was I also

615
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: did an interview with CNBC last week and the guy

616
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: kept asking me like and he kept asking me, like

617
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: the job market, you know, what are some tips you have,

618
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, just hang on, y'all, hang on

619
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: and learn how to use AI. And the job market

620
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: is trash, and you know, that's all I got for you.

621
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: And I could feel him like trying to get squeeze

622
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: water from a stone a little bit. But in this

623
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: article it's just so apparent. So I'll share some of

624
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: the I'll try and share someone like the little nuggets.

625
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

626
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 5: That makes a lot of sense though, because if you

627
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 5: think about it, those jobs, those jobs are the ones that.

628
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 4: Are so easily replaceable by AI, like those.

629
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: Entry level position where you're doing stuff like you know,

630
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 5: like the routine office work that are usually like reviewing documents,

631
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 5: filing documents, customer service, or even even in tech basic

632
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 5: coding a I will literally do all of that now.

633
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 5: So his his piece is like, yeah, if it's not

634
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 5: scaring some of these recent grads or like entry entering

635
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 5: into the workforce level kind of entry level employees, and

636
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 5: not necessarily meant to scare them, but it's just the reality.

637
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 5: I think it's really a good point.

638
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, my home first, like the job I got after

639
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: I was laid off from my first magazine job during

640
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: the Great Recession, the next job I got was reviewing

641
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: legal documents for a newsroom, so that they're and I'm

642
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: like that one hundred percent could be automated now with AI.

643
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: And those are the types of jobs that are, yeah,

644
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: that are disappearing. So there's a shift in the latest

645
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: unemployment numbers for college grads. So the unemployment rate for

646
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: college grads has risen thirty percent since twenty twenty two.

647
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: And meanwhile it's about eighteen it's risen eighteen percent for

648
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: all workers. So those younger people, especially, I know, my

649
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: my producer intern, Gabrielle is listening like it's okay, growing

650
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: out three more years of school, You're safe, but listen.

651
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: And then LinkedIn has something called the work the Workforce

652
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Confidence Index. Over half a million professionals answer this and

653
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: that it's hitting new lows and because of this uncertainty

654
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: and gen z are even more pessimistic about their futures

655
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: and any other age group out there. Sixty three percent

656
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: of three thousand executives at LinkedIn surveys that AI will

657
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: eventually take over. But then it goes on to talk

658
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: about how like colleges and universities are trying to train

659
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: up you know, their teachers to learn AI. It's too late,

660
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: Like for me having come through a journalism program during

661
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: the social media digital revolution of journalism, colleges are so behind,

662
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: Like it takes so much time to train these professors

663
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: and then get the curriculum together. If it's a public university,

664
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: you have you know, the board, you have the state.

665
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Like there's all these things in your way that slow

666
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: things down, and yeah, isn't a beautiful And so I'm

667
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: just for anyone who's in school right now, I really

668
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: encourage you, or if you know someone who's on the

669
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: younger side, you have to start taking it on your

670
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: own to find opportunities to learn the breaking AI technology

671
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: in your field. So one of my favorite things, I

672
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: think I'm more excited about my producer intern than she's

673
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: just like, you're getting so much great experience, don't you know.

674
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: But you know she's editing the show, she's editing our

675
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: Monday episodes, and I know within Riverside this recording software,

676
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: there's an AI tool, and so she's going to get

677
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: to experience how AI can make her work easier. I

678
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: still need a producer who understands, like how to take

679
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: this rough cut that an AA I put together and

680
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: make it better and understand nuance. But when I was

681
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: doing the CNBC interview, this is where the opportunity lies

682
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: for young people. The producer who was producing my segment,

683
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: which was also in Riverside, you know, we did the

684
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: whole interview on Riverside. And I know when I record

685
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: this podcast, I can go click Riverside's AI clip generator

686
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: and it'll spit out like twelve sixty second clips. You know,

687
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: I can even pinpoint a word. I wanted to, you know, target,

688
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: and so I asked the producer. I was like, oh, sorry,

689
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, do you get a ton of clips to

690
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: use the magic tool on Riverside? And she was like,

691
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: oh no, I you know I do. I do my own.

692
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: It's organic. And I was like, lady, you better hurry,

693
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: you better get comfortable because I could be you know.

694
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: It's it's you're not going to be able to get

695
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: away with having a whole job doing one Instagram real

696
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: a day. When AI can do ten, you can be

697
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: more twenty, right, I mean more an hour, right. So

698
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: it's really really and but that's the opportunity because the

699
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: old fuddy duddies, We're not old fuddy duddies, guys, but

700
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: we hung up in my career. No, But when I

701
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: was coming up in my career, my editors didn't care

702
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: about podcasts or Twitter. They all kind of like roll

703
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: their eyes. Maybe Twitter wasn't early was easier for journalists,

704
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: but like Instagram and TikTok, and they were all like, uh,

705
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: the youths. Meanwhile, who was job popping and getting paid

706
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: more and more? You know, So it's just y'all need

707
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: don't freak out about it. But don't expect your college

708
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: professor to prepare you for today's job market. You have

709
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: to be doing that work yourself.

710
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 5: Definitely, you really do.

711
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: And it's like it's it's utilizing the tools now, right,

712
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: Like that's the thing, like you become more efficient at

713
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: your job and you kind of have to be because expectation,

714
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: the baseline expectation is risen now because you can get

715
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 3: a tool to do a decent job for you for

716
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: very cheap, sometimes free, So you need to be able

717
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: to do that and some to stand out, which kind

718
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 3: of you know, it sucks because now it's like, you know,

719
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: the standards, the base the bar is a little bit

720
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: higher than what it used to be, but it can

721
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: also make you a lot more efficient and creative, because

722
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: I think that's the thing we all want, right. It's

723
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: like sometimes we get bogged down, I know for me,

724
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 3: like you know, making stuff like creating them all the time.

725
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: You get bogged down with all the little ad many things,

726
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: all the little tashit repeat over and over again. And

727
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: being able to learn these tools makes you just that

728
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: much better at what you do, and it takes some

729
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: that weight and pressure off. So yeah, I mean, and

730
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 3: sometimes it's like I have a lot of friends who

731
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: are really hesitant to adopt any AI tools out of fear,

732
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 3: but they're starting to see it's like these things are

733
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 3: not going anywhere, Like it's just it'll be integrated more

734
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: and more. Everything that latches now has an AI feature,

735
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: even if it's not even really AI, they're gonna call

736
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: it AI. You better get used to it because that's

737
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: what we are. That's a fact.

738
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 5: That is a fact, and I feel like it should

739
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 5: it should be something that you are proud of. Like

740
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 5: a little bit many of what you were saying was

741
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 5: kind of like a little bit of a sense of

742
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: pride and being like, no, I don't use AI. I

743
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 5: handmade these clips and it's like, I know that sounds conintuitive.

744
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: It's like you feel like you should be proud of that,

745
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 5: but actually check yourself. What you should be proud of

746
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: is the ability to say to them, I actually have

747
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 5: a strategy where my workflow includes AI, so I'm able

748
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 5: to get you twenty clips where typically you might get one.

749
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 5: And so you optimizing your workflow by using AI and

750
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 5: actually being honest and open about that, That's what's going

751
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 5: to be impressive, not saying no, no, I sat.

752
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 4: There for two hours and listen to.

753
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 5: Everything again and again and then and then I handcrafted

754
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 5: it clips the way I thought back maybe back in

755
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 5: the day that might have been, or for certain mediums

756
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 5: that might make sense, right, like you, if you're handcrafting,

757
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 5: you know, fashion clothing or a handbag, like okay, sure

758
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 5: there's still a place to charge a lot of money

759
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 5: for something handcrafted or handmade. But in the world of technology,

760
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 5: don't be afraid to like just blatantly include in your

761
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 5: workflow and your process and show how that makes you optimal.

762
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 4: Versus somebody else.

763
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: Because even for assistance virtual assistance, people are saying, oh,

764
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 5: they're going to go by the wayside. AI is going

765
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: to take over all that. Actually, I really don't think

766
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 5: that's true. I think that the AI tasks are still

767
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 5: going to be a little bit of an annoying thing

768
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 5: that takes Even if it takes five minutes, it's five

769
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 5: minutes that I, as the CEO, don't want to do.

770
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 5: So I'm going to hire an assistance to do those

771
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 5: five minute AI tasks. And even if it's something as

772
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 5: simple as like I forward you a transcript video recording

773
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 5: of a meeting that I had with another exec, your

774
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 5: job is to transcri, click a button that transcribes that,

775
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 5: and then synthesize it using whatever AI to give me

776
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 5: bullet points that I can then follow up with that

777
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 5: other exec and a follow up email and say thank

778
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 5: you so much.

779
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 4: These are the things we spoke about. I don't have

780
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: to do that. You do it because it sounds.

781
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 5: Like, oh, but it's so quick to do it with AI,

782
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 5: But high value people with like the the time is

783
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 5: so valuable.

784
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 4: Even five minutes of clicking.

785
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 5: Around AI and transcribing is a task that they don't

786
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 5: want to do so and just using the AI might

787
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: be something that they delegate. And that's where you come in,

788
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: going I know exactly how to transcribe your notes, synthesize them,

789
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 5: and send you a transcript that you can literally copy

790
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 5: and paste as a follow up email. Where you have

791
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 5: to do nothing that is right there value, but you

792
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 5: have to not shy away from AI, like Mandy said.

793
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then like the you know C suite, they

794
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: can stay, you know, they can focus on their big

795
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: strategy and like they know the kids are like, oh

796
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: handle the technology for sure, that also gives you an advantage.

797
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 5: Sure, and not even just the big strategy. But you

798
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 5: know what they do, they smooth and rubbing elbows with

799
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 5: other people with a lot of money, making deals, having conversations.

800
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 4: If that's the social stuff is.

801
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 5: Really what those the face of the company does to

802
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 5: you know, obviously keep the relevance of that business in

803
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 5: the industry. And that means I can't be behind a

804
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 5: computer all day clicking AI stuff.

805
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 4: I got to be out there with people.

806
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 5: I gotta be on my private jet go into a

807
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 5: meeting in London and then go immediately back to Miami

808
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 5: to I have to be able to move quickly through

809
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 5: the world, and I can't necessarily put all my time

810
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 5: into text. So I do think there's still going to

811
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 5: be a world where the quicker you can get up

812
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 5: on the AI game and then offer that as a service.

813
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: Don't sleep on that.

814
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 3: Yeah that's a real thing.

815
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah well, Chris, you better get your voice AI before

816
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: somebody else comes up with one. You gotta be in early.

817
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: You gotta get out there. The sleep podcast.

818
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: It's in the works. I gotta get some down. You

819
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Bye bye?

820
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: What is it?

821
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: May by June, I have something some test runs ready

822
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 3: to go.

823
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: By then I'll tell you it was only like a week.

824
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: I'll be a tester. I I like to sleep.

825
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: Do them for kids.

826
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 4: You know.

827
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: My son and I are doing sleep meditations at night.

828
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: Like I just pull up the Peloton meditations and I

829
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: just it dawned on me one night. I was like,

830
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: I use this to go to sleep. He's just twitchy

831
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: and he's a five year old, you know, and he's like,

832
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: I want water, I want but he's so tired. But

833
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: he'll fight his sleep and he actually really enjoys it.

834
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: And now he asks, he's like, are you to do

835
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: our meditation? And we do one in the morning too,

836
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: But you know that's just breathing and grown up music

837
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: and stuff. So if there was like a fun one

838
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't.

839
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: Know, an adult any kid version ideas.

840
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, like what if you just told stories about the moon,

841
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, like stuff that were like dinosaur fossils, like

842
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: shit that five year olds are obsessed with. Why do

843
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: caterpillars the most?

844
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 4: You know what?

845
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 5: You can then just go and get the children's series

846
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 5: for national geographics. I remember when I was a third

847
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: grade teacher. I had all these thin little like my

848
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 5: first reader, and it would be about all these random

849
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 5: topics like oh, different types of clouds in the sky

850
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: and like the ones that can tell your storms coming,

851
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 5: like and if you literally just like teach.

852
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: That and like talk about it, that would probably pop

853
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 4: off for the kids.

854
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, don't tell everybody it's not geo

855
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: because like copyright now, but you change it.

856
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: Up, you change it up, you use AI to change

857
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 5: it up.

858
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but then but then the fact checking, that's

859
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: where you need a human because like what if AI

860
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: doesn't making shut out like it does be.

861
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 3: Doing right, that's I don't want to be educational because

862
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: then I might have to really proof read it just

863
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 3: make give some nonsense.

864
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, well okay, fine by June, all right, well, should

865
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: we take a break and come back with a brown booster,

866
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: a brown breck. Let's do it right, ba family, right

867
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: back with one of my favorite times of the brown table,

868
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: brown boost, brown brick, and we're back. All right, We're

869
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: gonna do brown boost brown break. Just to remind y'all,

870
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: we're either going to boost something that we're excited about,

871
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: we that's giving us life, that's sparking joy, or something

872
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: that we are sick of and need a brown break from.

873
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: And if my memory serves me, Chris is never ready

874
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: and usually prepare like wants me and you Nelly to

875
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: go first so he can come up with something.

876
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: I'm ready. I can't.

877
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Is it related?

878
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 3: Oh well, I mean that was a great story, But

879
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: now I got something new. I can't ready this time.

880
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: So once in my life I can't prepared for this. Okay,

881
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: so my brown boost come doing a boost this week.

882
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: Is a book I just finished reading. It's called James

883
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 3: by Percival Everett. He wrote the book Erasure, which the

884
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 3: movie American Fiction was based on a couple of years

885
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: ago with Jeffrey Wright. Really good movies, Jeffrey Wright. It

886
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: was sterling K Brown. I always forget that I call

887
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 3: her Maxine because that's all. I just remember her from

888
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: living single. I always a real name. Yes, it was

889
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 3: such a great movie. So I watched the movie, loved it,

890
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: one of my favorite movies. A year so I read

891
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: the book Erasier and then this year, I guess, like

892
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: towards the end of last year, at the beginning of

893
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: this year, he wrote a new book called James, which

894
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: is the story of Huckleberry Finn told from the perspective

895
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: of the slave Jim or James. And he just won

896
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: the Pulitzer Prize for the book. And it is so

897
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: good because I don't I don't remember Huckleberry Finn very

898
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 3: much from school. I just remember it was racist and

899
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 3: said the end word a bunch of it.

900
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 5: Remember too, they were on a boat in the river,

901
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 5: and that's all I remember.

902
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: The little white girl in my English class asking the

903
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: teacher why she couldn't say the N word.

904
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: Oh, that's what I hated. That come up so you

905
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: could tell the kids who were who were nervous, and

906
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: the kids who couldn't wait for their term for that

907
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: word to come around in their little section to read.

908
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 3: Why we're reading this book out loud in class? I

909
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 3: don't know, but but this book, it flips the story

910
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 3: on his head and it's all from James's perspective, and

911
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: so you get to see him talking about how like

912
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 3: basically colde twitching, how like teaching him his family's kids

913
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: and other kids on the plantation how to speak with

914
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 3: broken English so that the white people will kind of

915
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: like not pay too much attention to them, and they

916
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 3: won't and it'll make them feel comfortable because they think

917
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 3: it makes them think that you're done, but you know

918
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 3: you're not. And the story of how he ended up

919
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: with huck Finn, and there's like points in time where

920
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 3: they separate, so you can see what happens to James

921
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 3: when he's still running and trying to find his freedom,

922
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 3: because basically in the story, he leaves because he finds

923
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 3: out he's going to be sold and he doesn't want

924
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 3: to leave his wife and his dark behind, so he

925
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 3: leaves and he passed a goal and then come back

926
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 3: and get them. And so you're following the story of

927
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 3: him dealing with huck Finn try like kind of like

928
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 3: treating him like he's dumb, but then slowly realizing he's not.

929
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to spoil it. But it's so well written.

930
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 3: I love this book. I went through it in like

931
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 3: a week and I read along with with b. We

932
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 3: we had a little mini book club reading the book

933
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 3: and so it's so good, so good. I highly recommend

934
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: you it.

935
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: Rigue set me up. I was like, that was one

936
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: of our resolutions, was to read books together. He was like, okay,

937
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: start with this, Like he likes a DaVinci code. Shit,

938
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: I mean sorry, then, well we know how you feel

939
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: about that.

940
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: Right.

941
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 6: There's a smart, you know, attractive white guy who is like,

942
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 6: gotta find the code the secret of like this ancient

943
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 6: religion religious section in Italy and tombs and all kinds

944
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 6: of Vaticans and stuff that kind of stuff.

945
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: And I read this thick book and tell me why

946
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: he hasn't read my choice? For him, it wasn't as exciting.

947
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 3: What was the book?

948
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Well, there were a couple of different ones. The one

949
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: that I wanted him to read really badly was called

950
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: The Unconscious Parent. See, his books are for fun, but

951
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: I was like trying to pass trying.

952
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 4: To do homework, trying to do homework.

953
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 7: Joy reading.

954
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be about the other person's interest, you know,

955
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: like taking an interest.

956
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 5: Like y'all should I feel like ya should have an

957
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 5: interest in him, y'all should know. I feel like y'all

958
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 5: should be reading that together, like a chapter before bed

959
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 5: together or something.

960
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, because you're trying to make him read that alone.

961
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: It's myself the bar so low for these men.

962
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 5: But you want to read.

963
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 4: But you want to read that, girl, y'all got to

964
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 4: read that together.

965
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 3: Man, He's like, all right, from my mind, I'm picking

966
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: the encyclopedia. We're going to go through Q.

967
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: For husbands who need to learn their wives, like relearn

968
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: the love language post kids. You know, love languages change. Yeah,

969
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: it's a little more passive aggressive. I should have picked

970
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: a novel. Maybe we'll do James, we gotta start a

971
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 1: Brown and Mission book club.

972
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 5: This was supposed to be Brown Brak.

973
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 4: Sorry, that's for Brown book Club.

974
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: To inspire some better books.

975
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: What tell me that? To my face? I didn't hear you.

976
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: We're trying to inspire Mandy to pick some better books

977
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: because that was not a good time.

978
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: But The Conscious Parent is an amazing book that I've

979
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: already read, which is why I know my husband should

980
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: read it. I've been voracious. I think that's how I

981
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: can tell that life with two kids like my also

982
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: Remy's turning two this coming weekend, which is crazy, but

983
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: that I'm having more like time to actually devour novels

984
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: and listen to my nonfiction. I like to read novels

985
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: with the with the physical book, and it doesn't matter audiobook,

986
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: the nonfic. But I have all these books going at

987
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: different times, and I'm just like falling back in love

988
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: with reading and it's really great. So you might be

989
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: saying a little something, ba fam, I think a Brown

990
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: Ambition book Club makes so much.

991
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 4: I love that mm hmm.

992
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: And I won't just have it be my book. It'll

993
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: be great. It'll be a mix. It's got to be

994
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: a mix. I don't like only personal finance books. I

995
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: rarely read them because I do it's all the time.

996
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: I love novels, I love historical fiction. I love Yeah,

997
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: I love you know a business strategy, and and and

998
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: like books that explain what the hell is happening in

999
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: this world. And I think we should always have a mix.

1000
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: We need our Kennedy Ryan's, and we need our Percival

1001
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: what's his name Everett and Katanji Brown Jackson's. You know

1002
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: of the word of the world altogether.

1003
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 5: That's right, all right, Well, did you do your brown

1004
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 5: bo brown break?

1005
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: Not yet?

1006
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 5: Okay, why don't you?

1007
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I I have to do a break, even though

1008
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to do a boost, but I

1009
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: have to do a break because there was this crazy

1010
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: on Instagram that someone I think a BA listener had

1011
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: sent me about this woman and this actually, like I

1012
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: don't know why I was so surprised, but I guess

1013
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: I was just hoping in twenty twenty five it wouldn't

1014
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: be this case wouldn't be the case. But there is

1015
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: a woman who create who was having a really hard time,

1016
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: like so many of us are getting calls back or

1017
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: getting responses to applications for jobs. And this was from Essence.

1018
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Essence magazine. The headline is black qualified and ignored.

1019
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: One woman's LinkedIn experiment exposes job discrimination after months of

1020
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: job rejections, Aliah Jones posed as a white woman on

1021
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: LinkedIn to uncover racial bias and hiring. I think uncover

1022
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: is a bit hyperbolic because, like it has been this way,

1023
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: there's studies already that have been done to show that

1024
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: there's racism and bias and hiring and I'm just you

1025
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not gonna. I will boost Aliyah for

1026
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 1: doing the hard work, for doing the do the legwork

1027
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: to show that this shit is still happening. So I'll

1028
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: post a link in the show notes if you want

1029
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: to see. She did a whole series on TikTok about

1030
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: it and how it you know, over the course of

1031
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: eight months when she was Emily, she got calls back,

1032
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: she was able to get you know, interviews, and that

1033
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: never changed. Like Emily would get lots of interest and

1034
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: then Aliyah would not. And like I run a coaching

1035
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: community of black and brown women and this kind of

1036
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: shit is heartbreaking, but it just reminds me how much

1037
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: more important, Like I think the James's and the Emily's

1038
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: of the world can get by with a strong resume,

1039
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: a good cover letter, you know, a strong LinkedIn profile,

1040
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: But those strategies alone and we don't have. We can

1041
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: talk about how unfair it is and how it's not right,

1042
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: but the reality is we need something extra. And because

1043
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: we need, we have to like defend ourselves against that

1044
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: bias on the other side and what we can own, No,

1045
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: we can't stop the bias from happening. We just have

1046
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: to accept that it's going to happen. And what we

1047
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: can own is how we can disarm people with our presence,

1048
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: our personalities are like our humanity, by actually forming relationships

1049
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: with people and getting referrals so that you know, I

1050
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: had my you know, one of my favorite managers over

1051
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: the years. I used to call him my like what

1052
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: did I call him? Well, his name is Nick, but anyway,

1053
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: he was as cis white dude. I didn't call him

1054
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: to his faith, what did I call just my white

1055
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: like fairy godfather. Because Nick would be in rooms and

1056
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: because he endorsed Mandy, I could come in and be

1057
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: my full authentic self and I never really had to

1058
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: worry about what I said because Nick had endorsed me,

1059
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: and literally all the other white guys around the C suite,

1060
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: I'd be at tables with them, but I was Ni's Mandy,

1061
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, and by virtue of him endorsing me, that

1062
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: helped them get over whatever barriers there might have been

1063
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: to them welcoming at that table or seeing me in

1064
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: a leadership role and all of that. And did it

1065
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: suck that I needed to have a Nick, you know,

1066
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: to to help smooth that path? Yes, And yeah, I

1067
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to wow, but that's like the reality. And

1068
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: so yeah, thank you to Aliah for doing this work.

1069
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: It's a sobering but necessary reminder that the shit still happens.

1070
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: So if you are someone who is struggling, just know

1071
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: what I have been trying to tell y'all for so long,

1072
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: and why the CNBC reporter who keeps talking to me

1073
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 1: is so tired of me saying relationships. But that really

1074
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: is a secret sauce and it's a survival mechanism for us,

1075
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: especially who have names that sound different, look different. Maybe

1076
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: my success in my corporate careers because my name is

1077
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: Mandy Woodruff and on its face like maybe, and I

1078
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: know I'm light skinned and I was wearing my hair straight,

1079
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: so you know, passing for little racially ambiguous probably did

1080
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: help me, you know. So anyway, I say all that

1081
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: to say it is happening, and there are some things

1082
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: that we can do to counteract it. But yeah, it

1083
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: doesn't feel great. It's not nice to see it.

1084
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 5: Yep, to be reminded, especially with data to back it up,

1085
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 5: because of course a lot of people will claim it's anecdotal,

1086
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 5: that's your experience, not mine the data. The data is

1087
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 5: not life, so that's important.

1088
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: Human experiences can be data. It's called qualitative.

1089
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 3: Okay, that's right. That's right.

1090
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 5: Qualitative and quantitative. They both matter, y'all.

1091
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: They both matter.

1092
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna switch things up.

1093
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 4: My boost is gonna be.

1094
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 5: I got Beyonce tickets, y'all. I'm going to see Beyonce

1095
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 5: in Houston her home sound opening nights Saturday, June's twenty eighth, Okay,

1096
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 5: and I'm so excited because I wanted to see Beyonce

1097
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 5: life for so many years. I've seen Beyonce in person

1098
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 5: one time on accident. That was because on accident. Listen

1099
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 5: to this.

1100
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 4: My first day with Jamil.

1101
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,800

00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 5: Brooklyn that Stadium because he know I'm from Brooklyn and hello,

1103
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 5: hold on, I love Dizzy. So we're at the concert

1104
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 5: and the very last song, Beyonce comes out and they

1105
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 5: performed Forever Young together to close the concert. So I

1106
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 5: did not expect to see Beyonce, but clearly I'm still

1107
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 5: with this man thirteen years later, and because of that first.

1108
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: Date early out of the park.

1109
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 5: So you've never seen Beyonce Beyonce concert live because the

1110
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 5: first time, she was really torrented. I couldn't go. I

1111
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 5: was in a really deep debt payoff journey, and I

1112
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 5: was like, I'm not I'm not going to do it,

1113
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 5: like I really want to treat myself and do it

1114
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 5: when I'm in a position financially that I that I

1115
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 5: want to be in. This time, I was so sad.

1116
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 5: I went through the tour dates and none of the

1117
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 5: tour dates worked for me because I'm traveling NonStop except

1166
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,160

1168
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,640

1174
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,719

1175
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,200
