Speaker 1: Company have a knock on my door? No?
Speaker 2: No, take us up?
Speaker 1: That is that's all I all. I think I learned
Speaker 1: that from an episode of Full House possibly it was
Speaker 1: like very meta and never actually watched an episode.
Speaker 3: Right, That's like I didn't know until I got older
Speaker 3: that like the Brady Bunch was from like years before
Speaker 3: I didn't. You know, as a kid, you don't think
Speaker 3: about why these kids wearing mail bottoms. You're just like, whatever,
Speaker 3: that's true, you know, and you're like, oh, did you
Speaker 3: go you were just in San.
Speaker 1: Fran right, yes, Also, welcome to Brown Ambition. If you
Speaker 1: didn't catch it, this is the show you're listening to.
Speaker 2: Our Man, Our poor manners, Our poor.
Speaker 1: Man is how how dare we. Yeah, I was just
Speaker 1: an SF. The locals call it SF, so that's what
Speaker 1: I'm going to call it. Oh excuse me, I've been twice,
Speaker 1: so that's what I qualify as. Oh okay, okay, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that wasn't serious. I'm not a local at all. It's
Speaker 1: it was good. I was like a workation, okay, where
Speaker 1: you work, but then you try to have fun at
Speaker 1: the same time, which was new for me. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: did have a really good time like work. During the day,
Speaker 1: I actually was mooching off my best friend who just
Speaker 1: got a really sweet job at LinkedIn and got to
Speaker 1: go check out their offices, which are I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know. It just makes me like think back on
Speaker 1: my Silicon Valley days at the good old Yahoo because
Speaker 1: just when I tell you this cafeteria, I had the
Speaker 1: best Indian food I've had pretty much anywhere at the
Speaker 1: LinkedIn cafeteria, Like it was delicials. Yeah, they had the
Speaker 1: Poppa Doom, which is like crunchy, like crackery bread type
Speaker 1: thing and like buttered chicken. But then they also had
Speaker 1: a barbecue area. It was just like the Land of
Speaker 1: Riches and like a rooftop area, and then an ice
Speaker 1: cream bar every day at two pm.
Speaker 2: That's just fattening, Like, that's not even right.
Speaker 1: I literally stayed there from noon until four pm. I
Speaker 1: was just like, I guess I'll just stay here, read
Speaker 1: my booth on the rooftop and a nice view of
Speaker 1: downtown and I went. You know, I didn't partake in
Speaker 1: the ice cream social because you know, malactose, but they
Speaker 1: have like Eminem's on tap and just like just nuttiness.
Speaker 1: Like I had to get out of there at the
Speaker 1: end of that. I'm like, this is not natural, this
Speaker 1: is not okay. I need to go back to reality.
Speaker 2: Does everybody overweight? There?
Speaker 1: No, everyone, It's California. Everyone's like thin and like active.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they all like rode their bikes to work.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But what I like the most about
Speaker 1: SP is the weather though, because like it must be
Speaker 1: the most boring job in the world to be a
Speaker 1: meteorologist in San Francisco, because you're just like, well, the
Speaker 1: same as it was yesterday, folks, and that's your forecast
Speaker 1: by like it's the same every day. It's like fifty
Speaker 1: five with the highest sixty two. But we did we
Speaker 1: went out and did something I always wanted to do,
Speaker 1: which was Napa Valley. We went on a wine tour.
Speaker 2: Oh aren't you very almost thirty?
Speaker 1: It was very fancy. Well, whenever I like doing tours
Speaker 1: where like you get a driver because it's actually on
Speaker 1: a wine tour, because you don't want to be designated driver.
Speaker 1: You want to enjoy yourself and you don't want to
Speaker 1: worry about directions and that kind of stuff. So we
Speaker 1: did this nice tour through the a dot com which
Speaker 1: I think is owned by trip Advisor. But we're The
Speaker 1: average age of the van was basically like sixty six,
Speaker 1: and me and my friend were like, hella, la la. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was funny, but we had a great, great time,
Speaker 1: very fancy pants.
Speaker 2: I like, sanfriend, did you do the trolley?
Speaker 1: Yes? We did? Why is that so exciting? Like, yes,
Speaker 1: we did the trolley. She dragged me this seven dollars.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why am I paying seven dollars to go
Speaker 1: to First of all, we had to pay two dollars
Speaker 1: to get to the trolley, took the bus to the
Speaker 1: trolley just to hop on the trolley and pay seven
Speaker 1: more dollars just to ride up the hills and the
Speaker 1: opposite direction where we needed to go. That we could
Speaker 1: get off and then pay for an uber back to
Speaker 1: where we needed to go.
Speaker 2: So you can say I hit the trolley. I would.
Speaker 3: So I'm very touristy, honestly, like embarrassingly, so whenever I
Speaker 3: go places, I'm always like, what's the torsy things I
Speaker 3: can do? So I did the trolley. In San France,
Speaker 3: I had to run a bike and I.
Speaker 2: Rode over the Golden Gay Bridge.
Speaker 1: Oh you did, I've driven over. I didn't ride my
Speaker 1: bike over it, though.
Speaker 2: It was much windier than I anticipated.
Speaker 1: How did they windy city it is?
Speaker 2: I was like, so I'm freezing every.
Speaker 1: And every corner is a different climate in San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Yes, And then like you like, so one we went
Speaker 3: to the Pere Fisherman' Dwarf. Well not we, I was
Speaker 3: by myself, but I went to Fisherman's Wharf, which is cool.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, a port or I don't know, like.
Speaker 2: Not really a beach, but it's just like a like
Speaker 2: the sea, That's what it seems like. But then you
Speaker 2: have downtown and then you have beaches.
Speaker 3: Honestly, San France is one of my favorite American cities.
Speaker 3: I even did the Crookedest Road in America.
Speaker 1: A Lombard Street.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was like, oh my god, I'm doing everything.
Speaker 3: It's just I had such a good time. I you know,
Speaker 3: they have a Mere Woods which is beautiful redwood forest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd gone like we did a uh fiance and
Speaker 1: I went a couple of years ago and did like
Speaker 1: the big road trip up the Pacific Coastal Highway, and
Speaker 1: so we hit all we hit all the big stuff
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, like during that trip, like we went
Speaker 1: to the Redwood Forest, we did all the the Lombard
Speaker 1: Street and like the pier and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So this time I like to like get all that
Speaker 1: stuff out of the way in one visit. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then and then come back and just focus on the food.
Speaker 2: They have very very very good food.
Speaker 3: I think San France is known for their Asian food,
Speaker 3: isn't it like Indian food and Thai food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god. We had the most amazing We
Speaker 1: were in the Mission District, which is like the Latino
Speaker 1: heavy neighborhood, but we had the best Thai food there. Randomly,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it has like they have Japan towne China Town.
Speaker 1: Really good food, really really good food, and even better
Speaker 1: I didn't pay for my flight because I had points
Speaker 1: points points points.
Speaker 2: I'm actually going away to for my birthday.
Speaker 3: I finally booked my birthday trip pre birthday trip because
Speaker 3: you know, Superman, we're counting on you to make this
Speaker 3: birthday special.
Speaker 2: If you know what I mean.

Speaker 3: on trying to even be like a surprise or anything.

Speaker 1: We haven't decided. We're looking at Europe, but really it's
Speaker 1: going to come down to where do the points take us? Okay,
Speaker 1: but I think I think Europe's gonna happen. We've talked
Speaker 1: about Cuba, but that got put on the back burner.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Europe. I just want to go somewhere like
Speaker 1: really cheesy, romantical that you'll like, you know, like just
Speaker 1: embrace the like where would Audrey hepburn.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to Paris?
Speaker 1: I have, but when I was younger, not as like
Speaker 1: a grown up, and I'd love to go there, but
Speaker 1: I kind of want something more remote and not so like,
Speaker 1: uh you know, big city like exhausting. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be like exhausted.
Speaker 2: Okay, so like not like I Abizza.
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to like be uts utzing I
Speaker 1: was every night. Is not what they do there.
Speaker 3: You know it's so crazy, but because it so as
Speaker 3: I said it, Bizza in my mind, I was like
Speaker 3: dancing like I.
Speaker 1: Took a No, I don't want to take any pills. Now,
Speaker 1: thinking of the US, did you watch I know I
Speaker 1: know the answer, but didn't you watch the VMA's last night?
Speaker 2: I actually did not.
Speaker 1: I watched Shocker.
Speaker 2: Wow, you thought you knew I wasn't gonna watch it.
Speaker 1: I barely knew half the people. I was like looking
Speaker 1: through the slideshow of VMA's like red carpet arrivals barely
Speaker 1: after Beyonce, I was like, and who do what A what?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 3: I was like, so I figured like I didn't even
Speaker 3: realize they were on, and so like I was like,
Speaker 3: what was I doing last night? I think honestly, I
Speaker 3: I think I was just like reading like old lady.
Speaker 3: And then I happened to look on Facebook and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, the umuz is on. But I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't care. I'll just watch the clips that people
Speaker 3: tell me I should see. So art strategy, right. I
Speaker 3: saw Beyonce. Obviously she's played, she did a full concert.
Speaker 3: She was amazing. Rihanna was Okay, So let's talk about
Speaker 3: Tianna Taylor in that body?
Speaker 1: O my god, is there a personal finance angle here?
Speaker 1: How much money would it cost you to spend on
Speaker 1: a gym membership to get that body?
Speaker 2: I mean, this woman had a baby.
Speaker 3: A baby, A full human being came out of this
Speaker 3: woman's body.
Speaker 2: She is like magnificently made.
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, this, but you know, she's like just
Speaker 3: the perfect size of like not super skinny, not like
Speaker 3: overly muscular. She's just like just God was like, We're
Speaker 3: gonna give you this thing, and no one else in
Speaker 3: the world will happen.
Speaker 2: Here. You go be blessed and bless others. And she did.
Speaker 1: And if you missed it last night, and you guys
Speaker 1: are scratching her head. So she starred in Kanye West's
Speaker 1: new video for a Fade. Yeah, and we won't even
Speaker 1: mention the speech, his little speech he gave before. He
Speaker 1: just like he should just hit play on the video.
Speaker 3: I didn't even fotch. I was just like, like I said,
Speaker 3: I just caught the clips. I watched Beyonce, I watched her.
Speaker 3: I didn't even watch Brittany. I heard it was a
Speaker 3: little sad to watch, especially post Beyonce, so I didn't
Speaker 3: want to do it to myself.
Speaker 1: Brittany came after Beyonce.
Speaker 2: I know, why would they They played her. That's called
Speaker 2: the setup.
Speaker 1: You don't have friends, I mean, Brittany just like gotta
Speaker 1: know your lane, go back, you know, stay in Vegas.
Speaker 2: M I mean, Brittany still don't like.
Speaker 3: I mean, I grew up with like, you know, hit
Speaker 3: me baby one more time, so you know I'm feeling her.
Speaker 1: She's faded. It's not the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. But did you see Drake Drake profressing
Speaker 2: his love for Rihanna? I was like, oh, I I.
Speaker 1: Also didn't watch. I don't know why I even brought
Speaker 1: it up, but no, I didn't see it.
Speaker 2: I read.
Speaker 1: I read the headline. Though he loves her, Drake just
Speaker 1: looks too much like my little brother. I have a
Speaker 1: really hard time like looking at him because everyone's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Drake, like huh so sexy, but he
Speaker 1: looks exactly like my baby brother, and I can't handle it.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 3: But there's some bran ambish and listeners that are like, so, wait,
Speaker 3: so where's your baby brother located?
Speaker 1: Except my brother is smarter, wiser and has beautiful Chris
Speaker 1: green eyes and lady he is newly single. Now that
Speaker 1: I mention it, that's gross. Never mind, I'm not as pim.
Speaker 1: I don't mind around. But he but my my little brother,
Speaker 1: Alex is his name. He he had like a little
Speaker 1: rap career in college and he just like couldn't deal
Speaker 1: with the drake he got, I think, the drake of comparisons.
Speaker 1: And to this day he just walks down the Streeople
Speaker 1: be drake at him. I think it bothered him so
Speaker 1: much he just like put it on the table. But
Speaker 1: he was really talented. It's a little rap hip hop career.
Speaker 1: I digress, just bab but it was it was it
Speaker 1: was cute.
Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, I I felt like from
Speaker 3: what I could understand that the the VMA seemed like,
Speaker 3: you know, people enjoyed them, although I did not partake,
Speaker 3: but you know, it was cool.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of MTV and youth, actually there's no good
Speaker 1: segue for this. I really want to talk about the
Speaker 1: EpiPen controversy. Have you been following this? Yes, there's those
Speaker 1: yeah for an EpiPen. So and you know what's crazy.
Speaker 1: I you always hear about EpiPens and allergies and stuff
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. But I didn't realize how
Speaker 1: many of my friends and family RELI on EpiPens for
Speaker 1: their kids or like for themselves, and how how how
Speaker 1: important they are. And so this company, Mylon, they like
Speaker 1: doubled the price of EpiPens to like six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: and even if you had a coupon, it was still
Speaker 1: like my my cousin's wife said that even with a coupon,
Speaker 1: it was still one hundred and fifty dollars for the EpiPen,
Speaker 1: which is like all that stand between someone in death,
Speaker 1: like if they have an allergy, you.
Speaker 2: Know, which is crazy, and.
Speaker 1: There's all this controversy. I even saw Sarah Jessica Parker,
Speaker 1: so apparently her son has a peanut allergy, and she
Speaker 1: was like a spokesperson for this company, and then she
Speaker 1: like posts on Instagram you know, I'm no longer going
Speaker 1: to be affiliated with them, and like denounced it, and
Speaker 1: it looks like today I think I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 1: they decided to lower the price by fifty percent and
Speaker 1: response to like all the controversy.
Speaker 3: Because that's just I mean, like you said, this is
Speaker 3: life saving medicine, and you're putting someone in a position
Speaker 3: to say I'm just going to have to die because
Speaker 3: I don't have it like that, doesn't you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Like, how does someone sleep? I was just
Speaker 3: talking to him about Superman. I was like about it earlier,
Speaker 3: and I'm like this, I bet I get that you
Speaker 3: have to make a profit, but how does one sleep
Speaker 3: at night knowing that you are sentencing some people to
Speaker 3: death because you know, because of profit and I get
Speaker 3: that money has to be made, but at what costs?
Speaker 2: When does it when does it become okay too much?
Speaker 1: Well, this is this is a really crazy thing, the
Speaker 1: fact that they so they're basically releasing a cheaper version,
Speaker 1: a generic version of the EpiPen in the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and response to all this controversy. So it's
Speaker 1: going to cost three hundred dollars versus the six hundred
Speaker 1: dollars for the name brand, but they're still going to
Speaker 1: offer the name brand. And here's what people don't realize, Like,
Speaker 1: so if your insurance covers the EpiPen, like they're there's
Speaker 1: still these these pharmaceutical companies are still offering them more
Speaker 1: expensive one because they know if you don't pay attention
Speaker 1: you're insurance, you'll just put you'll fill the prescription for
Speaker 1: the brand name EpiPen, and your insurance company will pay
Speaker 1: for it and they're still going to get their money.
Speaker 1: So that's why they have these like two different same thing,
Speaker 1: different prices. And this has always like pissed me off,
Speaker 1: But recently I got stuck. So I was picking up
Speaker 1: my monthly supply of Lady Pills. You know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. And I went to the drug store and
Speaker 1: I had new insurance for the first time, and they
Speaker 1: told me my prescription was going to be one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty five dollars and I was like, say what
Speaker 1: to who? What about Obamacare? This should be free? But
Speaker 1: it was like it was like the end of the day.
Speaker 1: I tried calling my insurance company. They were hanged. They
Speaker 1: had closed at six pm, and it was I needed
Speaker 1: to start this new cycle because I'm on you know,
Speaker 1: a schedule or whatever. So I was just like, screw it, here,
Speaker 1: here's my money. I'll figure it out later. I ended
Speaker 1: up calling and it turns out my doctor messed up,
Speaker 1: so there's I'll just go ahead and say so, of
Speaker 1: course I'm talking about birth control. But there's two versions
Speaker 1: of birth control that I could have been prescribed. One
Speaker 1: is called Yazz, which is like the name brand one.
Speaker 1: The other one created the other one by the same company,
Speaker 1: is called Yazmina. And so when my doctor sent in
Speaker 1: the prescription, they mistakenly put Yazz instead of Yasmina or
Speaker 1: I don't know if they thought yas was short for Yasmina.
Speaker 1: They got confused by the drug company, and so I
Speaker 1: was given the name brand prescription and thought I had
Speaker 1: to pay one hundred and thirty five dollars when all along,
Speaker 1: if they had just put Yazmina the generic, I would
Speaker 1: have had to pay zero dollars and by the way,
Speaker 1: would have gotten three cycles for free, like for three
Speaker 1: months supply for free. And I was just so mad
Speaker 1: that that that that drug companies do that, and it's
Speaker 1: it's like for all drugs, you know, there's always a
Speaker 1: more inexpensive generic, but so long as they know insurance
Speaker 1: companies will pay for the more expensive one, they just
Speaker 1: continue to market them.
Speaker 2: Yep, you're right. And it's just a shame because you know,
Speaker 2: I forget who was that guy.
Speaker 3: Remember there was a guy who was a super jerk
Speaker 3: and he had a number of medicines that he jacked
Speaker 3: up the price like seven something.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous in sc Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: He laughed all his way all like like they had
Speaker 3: him like you know, testify before like send it, and
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, basically he thought it was a
Speaker 3: joke and he laughed and he.
Speaker 1: He's way all the way to jail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh he's in jail now.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was, oh yeah, he was like it was
Speaker 1: something else. It was he had like misled misled investors
Speaker 1: company or something like that. But yeah, he's well, look.
Speaker 3: At God, Look at God. A baby and teenage Jesus
Speaker 3: working in our favor.
Speaker 1: Said, yeah, yeah, I think that this EpiPen company just
Speaker 1: saw the writing on the wall. I don't think. I
Speaker 1: think after this whole Martin screlly nonsense. And that was
Speaker 1: for a cancer drug. Yes, I remember that even worse,
Speaker 1: I would say. Anyway, so boo drug companies. I should
Speaker 1: have saved that from my brown Boost. But I digress.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have crazy drug insurance stories out there.
Speaker 1: It is just it's a nightmare. So if you guys
Speaker 1: have questions or stories you want to share, feel free
Speaker 1: to email us at Brian Ambition Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3: And you know, it was funny because I was just
Speaker 3: talking to Linda, my best friend, today and one of
Speaker 3: my best friends and a friend of mine text me.
Speaker 3: He said, hey, Tiffany, he saw my post about my
Speaker 3: friend Breathe that passed away from diabetes and how Linda
Speaker 3: and I were working on getting her services. And he
Speaker 3: was like, one of my friends, his mother has had
Speaker 3: a stroke and she needs services.
Speaker 2: And I told Linda.
Speaker 3: Like we need to create like a because I was
Speaker 3: just asking her and passing because Linda went to school
Speaker 3: for social work and she's an advocate, and she just
Speaker 3: had so many resources of like, oh, girl.
Speaker 2: Tell them to call this, tell them to say this,
Speaker 2: tell them.
Speaker 3: To ask for that. And I'm like, why people you
Speaker 3: don't know the stuff? She said, No, they don't, and
Speaker 3: they don't know how to advocate. So I'm really trying
Speaker 3: to get Linda to like, because she's pretty, like, you know,
Speaker 3: chill and quiet, to like speak and share.
Speaker 2: So whether I do like some sort of free workshop.
Speaker 4: So because if you need help and you're not able
Speaker 4: to provide for yourself of basic health care, there are
Speaker 4: all of these resources, like if you can't go food
Speaker 4: shopping for yourself, they will send somebody to cook.
Speaker 2: For you, food shop for you, drive you around all
Speaker 2: of this stuff. But most people don't do it.
Speaker 3: And if you don't push and you're not persistent because
Speaker 3: you know they don't.
Speaker 2: Want to pay for it. But by law, that is
Speaker 2: you're right you have access to that.
Speaker 3: And Linda was like, girl, like, if you need medicine,
Speaker 3: she was like, there are laws in place that you
Speaker 3: will you must receive them you have to jump through
Speaker 3: some hoops.
Speaker 2: But she was like they're in place, and I was
Speaker 2: just like wow.
Speaker 3: She So I'm trying to get like, you know, I
Speaker 3: don't know when I create some sort of spreadsheet or
Speaker 3: some sort of like one sheet of things you can do,
Speaker 3: because I feel like if more people knew, you wouldn't
Speaker 3: especially if you have health issues, borring anything. I don't
Speaker 3: know about any major health issues when I As you
Speaker 3: get older, you know, your parents are getting older. Like
Speaker 3: I'm in my mid thirties now, my dad is in
Speaker 3: his mid seventies, and I'm like, okay, Like you know,
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that he is he doesn't have any major
Speaker 3: health issues, but I mean, how long does that last?
Speaker 2: He's in his mid seventies.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I think it's only a matter of time.
Speaker 1: For some it's someone in your life, you know, it's
Speaker 1: something you're touched in some way by a medical crisis.
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate that the system isn't set up to
Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, it is, but only if
Speaker 1: like you come prepared, You've got the insurance, you're prepared.
Speaker 1: If you're in a vulnerable position, it can it can
Speaker 1: destroy you. I mean how many cases of bankruptcy are
Speaker 1: caused by medical debt. I think it's over fifty percent.
Speaker 1: It's bad news bears.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, so yeah. I just think knowledge is key
Speaker 2: and that's why we do what we do.
Speaker 1: Are your favorite brown boosts, Brown Break.
Speaker 3: Yes, ground Break, ground Boots, ground Break, brown Boo Brama
Speaker 3: called the BB section. I'm trying to think should I
Speaker 3: boost or should I break?
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Break, but it's kind of like lighthearted. I'm gonna break
Speaker 3: take a brown break from unpaid invoices.
Speaker 1: What's what you heard about your money?
Speaker 3: I know, but you know, lighthearted like in a lord
Speaker 3: Like every entrepreneur, I know, we have a little key
Speaker 3: key gig along, like you know, invoices.
Speaker 2: Taking forever or you having to remind companies like hey girl,
Speaker 2: so you know you owe me right? And so today
Speaker 2: was like.
Speaker 3: Invoice day, So I like emailed everyone made some longe
Speaker 3: calls with my fake hey girl, hey voice to be
Speaker 3: like hey.
Speaker 2: Girl, where's my goddamn money?
Speaker 1: No, well, so for real, what is your like I
Speaker 1: think on the house of everyone out there who's like
Speaker 1: isn't getting paid and like wants to know, like what's strategy?
Speaker 1: How do you kindly nudge people to give you your money.
Speaker 3: So usually you know, you come up with a strategy
Speaker 3: before like the action takes place. So typically if it's
Speaker 3: a client that I have not worked with, either I
Speaker 3: ask for pre payment or ask for payment after like
Speaker 3: right there, so I've spoken today, and if I step
Speaker 3: off stage, check.
Speaker 2: Is handed to me. So that's usually what happened.
Speaker 3: But every once in a while, like I have clients
Speaker 3: who I've worked with, so they've paid so before, so
Speaker 3: they don't typically have to pay me like right here,
Speaker 3: right then, but sometimes they drag their feets because they're
Speaker 3: like old clients. So I'm like, girl, you know how
Speaker 3: this works. So I if the payment is due on
Speaker 3: the first I typically if I haven't gotten payment within
Speaker 3: like four or five days, then like I'll send a
Speaker 3: reminder email something like very passive aggressive, like hey, do you.
Speaker 2: Need anything else from me in order to expedite payment?
Speaker 1: Like do.
Speaker 2: You write and versus and so?
Speaker 3: And then usually is the right back of they won't
Speaker 3: and if they don't within if I don't hear back
Speaker 3: via email within two days, then I'll usually will pick
Speaker 3: up the phone and call and just say like, hey,
Speaker 3: what's going on? And even still sometimes you still have
Speaker 3: to a few days later call again or email again,
Speaker 3: and it usually doesn't take more than two or three
Speaker 3: emails for a client that's late. I have to say
Speaker 3: that I've never.
Speaker 2: Not gotten paid.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of my clients can't, a lot
Speaker 3: of my friends who are entrepreneurs can't say that. But
Speaker 3: there was one time that I was dangerously close, and
Speaker 3: it was eleven thousand dollars of not being paid. But
Speaker 3: I wrote the most sickening letter you have ever read.
Speaker 2: Ooh child, That letter is is stuff of legend.
Speaker 3: Still to the client that didn't want to pay, and
Speaker 3: they were a municipality, and they were I didn't know,
Speaker 3: but they were notorious for not paying. And I did
Speaker 3: not know that they had ordered a ton of books
Speaker 3: like I myself had to pay three thousand dollars for
Speaker 3: the books, like I think they ordered like eight hundred or.
Speaker 2: A thousand books or whatever.
Speaker 3: And then and on top of that, I spoke so
Speaker 3: all together they owed me eleven thousand hours.
Speaker 2: And I had been emailing them, emailing them, emailing them.
Speaker 3: Nothing, and so I ended up writing a letter where
Speaker 3: I highlighted every single name, like highlighted yellow every time
Speaker 3: I mentioned someone that I had spoken to, I highlighted
Speaker 3: and I said, see screen shot below exhibit A, just
Speaker 3: to show, like you know, just to show kind of
Speaker 3: like the paper trail, and I see Seed, the mayor,
Speaker 3: I see Seed, his staff, I see Seed, every council member,
Speaker 3: I see Seed, assembly people.
Speaker 2: I see see every.
Speaker 3: Body in power that I could think of that was
Speaker 3: not even related to my payment.
Speaker 2: But I just wanted them to know the shame of
Speaker 2: what was happening.
Speaker 3: And like I said, I bolded and highlighted every name
Speaker 3: of the person. It was only like three people who
Speaker 3: were kind of responsible for me not receiving payment. And
Speaker 3: I laid it on thick about how much I gave
Speaker 3: back to the city, how I had.
Speaker 2: Developed and all this other stuff, and how I had
Speaker 2: been working in the city for years and how why would.
Speaker 3: They do this, and you know, and and then I said,
Speaker 3: you know, this is my last ditch effort. I had
Speaker 3: even gotten the mayor's actually private email, like I can't
Speaker 3: even say where I got it from, because I was
Speaker 3: like I had people on the hunt, like go get
Speaker 3: his email to make sure he gets this, even though
Speaker 3: he didn't have anything really to do with this, And
Speaker 3: I said, you know, this is my last ditch effort
Speaker 3: to reach out for fair compensation for what I delivered
Speaker 3: before I go to the media.
Speaker 2: That was the last line.
Speaker 1: And they had.
Speaker 3: Already known me to be on TV sometimes and like
Speaker 3: it definitelyly and like major media outlets regularly.
Speaker 2: So I made sure to leave that. I left that
Speaker 2: lingering at the end, like live Richard.
Speaker 1: Girl.
Speaker 2: These are people who had.
Speaker 3: Not called me in months, Mandy, I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: even think about it. Took three minutes before my phone
Speaker 3: was therein you know, my phone was jumping he he
Speaker 3: hell up.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even decide who to answer first.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, hi, hey girl, Yes, oh that was
Speaker 3: inappropriate that email. And I was told that my email
Speaker 3: was inappropriate, and then by then I was like living.
Speaker 2: I said inappropriate.
Speaker 3: I said, why I know I was inappropriate the fact that
Speaker 3: I had been messaging you for months and the only
Speaker 3: reason why you're messaging me back is because I wrote
Speaker 3: that letter. I said, that's what's inappropriate. And the nerve
Speaker 3: of you to tell me I'm inappropriate for demanding payment,
Speaker 3: And she was just like the girl on the line
Speaker 3: was just like after stuttering, and I said, you know.
Speaker 3: And then then somebody else called and they said, you know,
Speaker 3: we can have your payment to you.
Speaker 2: You know, do you want to pick it up or
Speaker 2: do you want us to me?
Speaker 3: I said no, I'll pick it up, and they made
Speaker 3: the woman who had been shading me bring it and
Speaker 3: walk into my car like walk the walk of shame
Speaker 3: across the girl I was so shading me while I
Speaker 3: was in my gym clothes looking like a bomb. But
Speaker 3: I was like, you see me in my nineteen ninety
Speaker 3: nine Tolia to Camri, this check is.
Speaker 2: Worth more than my car.
Speaker 3: And I rolled down the window just enough for her
Speaker 3: to slip the check in, and I gave it a
Speaker 3: look like it didn't have to be like this, and
Speaker 3: I rolled.
Speaker 1: You brought this on yourself.
Speaker 3: But what it did teach me was one because I
Speaker 3: didn't want to demand payment, you know, like I felt like, well,
Speaker 3: but sometimes you have to. You have to stand up
Speaker 3: for yourself and don't wait till long. The longer you
Speaker 3: wait for your money, the less likely it is that
Speaker 3: you're going to get it. Do not let two weeks pass.
Speaker 3: So if you don't have it in a few days,
Speaker 3: reach back out. Two days after that, reach back out
Speaker 3: two days after that reach back out. It's better to
Speaker 3: be annoying because if you wait a month, people have
Speaker 3: moved on to other things. I once I waited nine
Speaker 3: months for a magazine publication to pay.
Speaker 2: Me my money. It was like six hundred bucks. It
Speaker 2: wasn't even like a whole lot.
Speaker 3: Of money, but nine months of bugging them, like, you know,
Speaker 3: out of principle, like give me my money. So yeah,
Speaker 3: so today's brown break is just unpaid invoices. And I
Speaker 3: just there's certain people who I would never ever work
Speaker 3: with again. Some people just you know, there was there
Speaker 3: was a mistake or whatever. But some people you just
Speaker 3: would never ever work with again.
Speaker 1: Good lesson. Yeah, I think a lot of people will
Speaker 1: find that usefuls Like send me that.
Speaker 2: Let a girl I need a template.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my brown boost. I'm gonna do a boost because
Speaker 1: this was super helpful to me. And I know it's
Speaker 1: really awkward when you're traveling or hanging out with friends
Speaker 1: and you're spending it, like especially when you're going on
Speaker 1: like trips with someone like you going on your trip
Speaker 1: with your friend, like when you are like, oh I'll
Speaker 1: get this, and oh I'll get that, and then everything's
Speaker 1: a big fat mess at the end, and you don't
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, one person paid more than the other.
Speaker 1: So I started using this app called try Count TRII
Speaker 1: Count which and there's a couple others like it. I
Speaker 1: think the closest one to this one is called split wise.
Speaker 1: It's not the only app, but it's the one that
Speaker 1: I use, and I like it a lot. And you
Speaker 1: can create a like kind of like create an expense
Speaker 1: report and you put in like who's involved, and then
Speaker 1: you easily just add expenses to it, like Mandy paid
Speaker 1: for this uber. You know so and so paid for
Speaker 1: that dinner, and you say who and if you have
Speaker 1: more than like ten friends or a few friends, and
Speaker 1: like someone goes grocery shopping but only two people eat
Speaker 1: the food, then you can put so and so paid,
Speaker 1: and then so and so benefited from that, or you
Speaker 1: know it was for whoever. And at the end of
Speaker 1: it, it does all the math for you and it just
Speaker 1: easily says you, oh, Stephanie seventy five dollars, Stephanie Oh's
Speaker 1: Chris twenty five dollars, and it just like does it.
Speaker 1: And it's so nice and like democratized and like there's
Speaker 1: no awkwardness you know, it's like, well, trycount said, you
Speaker 1: owe me, so here, you know, give me the money
Speaker 1: and then you could just send a little express Spencer
Speaker 1: report to all your friends at the end and you know,
Speaker 1: venmo or whatever you do to send the money around.
Speaker 2: I like that try Count. Okay, it's t ri I.
Speaker 1: CEO n U t coo U NT.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you.
Speaker 3: Spell correctly, that's I mean, if you want to get tactical, if.
Speaker 1: You want to find the app, if you're interested. I've
Speaker 1: heard split wise is good too, but like I said,
Speaker 1: that's the only way I haven't used split wise. I've
Speaker 1: only used try count. It's it's basic. It gets the
Speaker 1: job done, and it makes everything less awkward, and there's
Speaker 1: no like you know, it just sucks when you have
Speaker 1: to get seventeen checks, you know. Yeah, yeah, just make
Speaker 1: sure your friends are good for it.
Speaker 2: No, but that's cool.
Speaker 3: I like that because you know, these days, as you
Speaker 3: get older, people pay for things and.
Speaker 2: You want to make sure you get your payment back,
Speaker 2: like I just did.
Speaker 3: There was an all white affair like like dinner en
Speaker 3: Blanc in my city, and I was like, I purchased
Speaker 3: like six tickets and then the people who were supposed
Speaker 3: to go, didn't end up going, but we were able
Speaker 3: to like get.
Speaker 2: Other people to tickets. And I'm still short because you're
Speaker 2: just like, ah, you know how.
Speaker 3: That works, you know it is, and you're just like
Speaker 3: you know, and after a while you're just like, you
Speaker 3: know what, forget it, you know, like, I'll just eat
Speaker 3: that twenty dollars. But you never know where things come from.
Speaker 3: You're like, but I thought, and everyone's like, no, I
Speaker 3: paid my money, so we should have used you know,
Speaker 3: we should have used Well. The lesson learned is one
Speaker 3: paying up front and then less than to try and counts.
Speaker 1: Less than three. Don't hang out with them anymore, don't
Speaker 1: make plans with you know, you go through life and
Speaker 1: you know the friends, you know the ones so you
Speaker 1: need payment up front. You love them, but you know
Speaker 1: they need you need retain or security deposit or whatever
Speaker 1: for the movies. Yeah, you all have.
Speaker 3: Those persts that you're like girl or the friends are
Speaker 3: always like, oh you got.
Speaker 2: This for me, and you're like the last prettycot. No, No, you.
Speaker 1: Know they're friends. Doesn't mean you're got to be friends.
Speaker 1: It just means you have to just the way you
Speaker 1: handle things with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like the type of friends that make you
Speaker 3: swipe your metro car, Like, girl, you got your metro
Speaker 3: car and you're like.
Speaker 1: You, that's a lot of money that adds up. It is, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not plenty any fingers, but you know who
Speaker 2: you are. It's a man the first week. So what
Speaker 2: are your what's your win this week?
Speaker 1: I have a win that I've been meaning to say
Speaker 1: and I keep forgetting, but I wanted to give this
Speaker 1: a shout out because if you listen to our show
Speaker 1: on Single Moms and the Amazing Single Mom Keona Harris,
Speaker 1: she took her daughter on a road trip cross country
Speaker 1: over the summer and one of the things they did
Speaker 1: on their road trip was volunteer at different organizations along
Speaker 1: the way, because you know, they couldn't be any more perfect.
Speaker 1: And she told me about one of the organizations that
Speaker 1: they helped out based in Cleveland by a woman named
Speaker 1: Kevenny Gilmore, and she started she basically grew up in
Speaker 1: foster care and when she was out of college age,
Speaker 1: you know, you age out of the system and you
Speaker 1: have to kind of just like go start your life.
Speaker 1: And she actually ends up having she basically went to
Speaker 1: college because she needed a place to live, and she
Speaker 1: was homeless on her summer, on her winter breaks and
Speaker 1: fall breaks and things like that. So she decided, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of young people when they aged at foster
Speaker 1: care have nowhere to go. So she decided to buy
Speaker 1: a house and turn it into like a halfway house,
Speaker 1: kind of a home for foster children who have aged
Speaker 1: out of the system. I know, it was like a
Speaker 1: great initiative. It was called or it is called hashtag
Speaker 1: foster care with hashtag spelled out. Okay, But then I
Speaker 1: was reading on her about Keviny Gilmore and it turns
Speaker 1: out like this. This the house that she had bought
Speaker 1: and was preparing to turn into this little oasis for
Speaker 1: foster kids. It was ransacked and burglarized back in the spring,
Speaker 1: and people had come in and stole like all the
Speaker 1: copper wiring and like the hot water heaters. And it
Speaker 1: was a duplex, so they got double of everything and
Speaker 1: no just thousands of dollars that she lost. So if
Speaker 1: you have, you know, I just thought I would give
Speaker 1: her a shout out. I believe there's still raising money
Speaker 1: to help replace some of the things that were stolen
Speaker 1: from the house, and they have a go fund to
Speaker 1: me page up and you can just look up hashtag
Speaker 1: boster Care on GoFundMe and you can probably find your
Speaker 1: way there. We'll put a link on this week's blog
Speaker 1: post with the podcast too. But yeah, I was just
Speaker 1: it was like a yay, this is a win, but
Speaker 1: also it's sad when someone's trying to do some good
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm done.
Speaker 3: I'm going to donate just because I you know, it
Speaker 3: really is the the duty of those who have to
Speaker 3: help those who don't, and not just I'm not just
Speaker 3: talking about financially. I mean, you know, whatever gift that
Speaker 3: you have, you might be like, you know, I'm musically inclined.
Speaker 3: This person needs music in their life. But I feel
Speaker 3: like everyone has something that they can contribute, And if
Speaker 3: you can contribute to this amazing organization, then just imagine
Speaker 3: that. I always think to myself, just imagine like when I
Speaker 3: see Superman outside like playing with the kids and buying
Speaker 3: them pizza and school clothes, and like like the other
Speaker 3: day we got school clothes. Came to the house and
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is not supergirls school clothes color, And
Speaker 3: he looked all sheepish. He was like, oh no, that's
Speaker 3: for the girl next door. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is why I love you. Like who just buys
Speaker 3: random school clothes.
Speaker 2: The little girl next door told him the.
Speaker 3: Other day, I have a godfather, but you're my godfather now.
Speaker 2: Which I thought was alive. She knows where the money
Speaker 2: comes in from. She was like, yeah, capitalist yes, yes.
Speaker 3: She was like, so we've dropped him, just so we're clear,
Speaker 3: you're my godfather. And but just imagine if we all
Speaker 3: just took care of like the small circle of influence
Speaker 3: that you have, like just around you. Just imagine if
Speaker 3: people just did small acts of kindness like that, then
Speaker 3: you really could change and shift the world. You don't
Speaker 3: have to do huge overtures if you don't have it,
Speaker 3: just something as simple as you know, doing something nice
Speaker 3: to someone in your neighborhood and so corner.
Speaker 1: You do a little bit, and that's all this woman
Speaker 1: was trying to do. So So check out hashtag hashtag
Speaker 1: foster care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm definitely on a gam so I don't
Speaker 3: have a win, but I do have a book. So
Speaker 3: I am like really really big on like the like
Speaker 3: the laws that you've heard about obviously, like the law
Speaker 3: of attachment.
Speaker 2: Oh, no, the law of attraction, like the law of attachment,
Speaker 2: the law.
Speaker 5: Of attraction, you know, yeah, let me be wrong, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 5: So for those of you who've ever heard of The Secret,
Speaker 5: the Secret talks about the law of attraction, which is
Speaker 5: based on it means the things that you think about
Speaker 5: you bring about.
Speaker 3: And there's all of these other spiritual laws. And so
Speaker 3: there's this great book. I just saw that someone had
Speaker 3: posted it on Facebook, and I always wondered, like, you know,
Speaker 3: where could I read more of some of the other laws,
Speaker 3: Like there's like the Law of detachment, which I like,
Speaker 3: and deprak Choper actually has a book called the Seven
Speaker 3: Spiritual Laws of Success, A Practical Guide to Fulfillment, to
Speaker 3: the fulfillment of your dreams. And so I'm excited because
Speaker 3: I really want to dig more into these laws.
Speaker 2: You know that because the law of attraction has worked
Speaker 2: so well.
Speaker 3: The Law of detachment I love, which just states that
Speaker 3: you're supposed to detach yourself from the outcome and just
Speaker 3: do good and just know that good is going to come.
Speaker 3: You don't know specifically in what way we returned to you,
Speaker 3: but in some way it will be. So you detach
Speaker 3: yourself from the outcome and that has helped significantly, Like
Speaker 3: especially like if I'm going out or you know, like
Speaker 3: maybe I'm going someplace with a friend, and you know,
Speaker 3: you're like, okay, in order for this party to be fun,
Speaker 3: I want to be able to do this, this, this,
Speaker 3: and this, and then if it doesn't happen, you kind
Speaker 3: of feel like, oh, I should have stayed home. But
Speaker 3: if you detach yourself from the specific outcome, you just say,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to go out and enjoy
Speaker 3: myself whatever that looks like. And so that's one of
Speaker 3: my favorite laws, detachment of just allowing things to flow.
Speaker 1: The law of low expectations. No, I want to be
Speaker 1: happy in life. Lower It's so true though people don't
Speaker 1: want to hear it. But I'm like, lower than expectations
Speaker 1: college graduates. Maybe you won't make one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: How about that lower expectations.
Speaker 3: And so I'm just excited just to read it. It's like,
Speaker 3: for I got it on my kindle. It's apparently not
Speaker 3: that long. It's like an hour read, which so I
Speaker 3: mean I should be able to go through it.
Speaker 2: Pretty quickly if you have any cause I love reading.
Speaker 3: I have a wide range of the type of books
Speaker 3: I like to read, Like, I love romance novels, but
Speaker 3: then I also really like books like this the Law,
Speaker 3: you know, the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. But I
Speaker 3: also love marketing books. So I'm really like I have
Speaker 3: a wide range of what I enjoy. So I would
Speaker 3: love if you have book suggestions of just a good book.
Speaker 3: I don't have any preferences. If you've read a really
Speaker 3: good book, please email us, share it, Tweet me at
Speaker 3: the Budgetista, tweet us is it the BA podcast?
Speaker 1: It is at the BA podcast?
Speaker 2: Yes, tweet yes at the BA podcast.

Speaker 3: It's Mandy Woodroof on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And So, because I'm looking.
Speaker 3: Always to I have my Kindle with me always, and
Speaker 3: so sometimes I flips through and say, well.
