That's how we always we call you, 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.360 Miss Jackson, and then we go Sean tell Jackson, Yes, 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.720 Miss jack smithy nasty? Yes, yeah, yeah, either way, either way, 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.680 you know what the Miss Jackson is. Of course, Jackson 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.880 is my last name. But ever since Outcasts came out 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.720 with that song, I think I was like fourteen fifteen, 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.000 and in school even the teachers were in on it, 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:37.280 like it was roll called during like the announcements or 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.239 um throughout the day, and when my name was called, 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.640 everybody would go, I'm just like, it's just like a 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:49.360 part of I don't know who I am. I don't know. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.320 It's always been hilarious to me, but I am Miss Jackson. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.400 So yeah, it's good. It's like kind of started you 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.200 with a brand before you. I think it did. I 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.400 think it did. It was just I can't help that 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.000 is my last name, but it just came with something 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:11.840 and it just pivoted me into yes Jackson, Miss Jackson. Well, 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.959 what do you have us eating, Miss Jackson. So I 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.800 have some good old fashion I guess you would say 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:24.440 some Country Bama pickled eggs. Um. And it's pretty much 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:31.000 nothing but vinegar, some spices, some red die and some eggs. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.600 I've never ever seen this. So when you mentioned pickled eggs, 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.160 I didn't know if you had, like a sandwich bag. Well, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.720 I didn't know what. I didn't know what. She said, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:02:08.280 pickled eggs. I said what, Yeah, so it already comes 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:13.079 like this. And when I was little, Um, we used 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:20.000 to go to the corner store or the candy ladies house. Um, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.040 if we lived in apartments at the time and asked 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.440 for a pickle egg and maybe at the time it 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.320 was maybe twenty cents or a quarter. And where are 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.200 you from Miami? Oh, you're from Miami, they were, they 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.799 were selling pickled eggs in Miami. Yeah, okay, So where 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.079 do you get these out here? You can't get these 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:44.000 out here. I ordered these online to be here. So 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.359 you're a real pickled eggs man. I am. I can't 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.120 even say the last time you ate this was you 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.440 was broke. You just attached to the pickled eggs. I'm 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.480 attached at the hip to the pickled eggs. Honestly, it 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.440 would even get worse than this back home. But now 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.160 I'm a vegetarian, so I'm still safe with the egg 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.040 the pickled eggs. Um. But I used to eat the 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.079 hot sausage with the pork or the pickle pig feed like, yeah, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.840 it was bad. Yeah, okay, well let's try these. Can 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:15.600 we try these? Are we clear before we? Uh? Yeah? Okay, good, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.880 Let's try some pickled eggs. Now, I've never had pickled 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.360 eggs before. Guys, So if my face does all these 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.080 like expressions, don't mind me because like an expression girl 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.760 like I have a million wrinkles dedicated to me before 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.600 I hit for it. I reco my face too much. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.800 But let's try these, and thank you for sharing this. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.960 Like delicate? Was it? Like I said, this is like 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.720 a Southern delicacy? Yeah? Right, it is. To see that's 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.760 the word I was I was looking for because we 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.680 couldn't even get these. She came with these. That's how 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.160 you know what's real? She she had another dishes. She said, 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.480 you know what, I haven't never seen this in California ever. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.839 And how often do you order these? Um? You know what? 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.200 A lot of the time I always have to wait 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.520 till I go home to Miami to get them. So 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.400 this past week I was there for my birthday and 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.440 as soon as I touched down off the plane, UM, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.240 and I went to the gas station, they had pickled eggs. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.919 So I was I was getting pickledgg This is interesting. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.400 So the pickled eggs are red for all your listeners, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.240 It's like in this jar of juice. Um, So how 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.600 do you get it out? You use a fork? We 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:36.120 got a fork. So do you if you don't have 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.120 pickled eggs? Do you just naturally like eggs or is 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.560 it just the whole flavor package? I do. I do 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:45.000 naturally like eggs, but the pickled egg is just something 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.719 just totally different. Or you can use your spoon. Oh yeah, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.520 that's probably smarter, um, but you can you smell it? 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.160 Do you like vinegar? I mean, I don't know. I'm 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.279 a Jew and a Jamaican. I think I like everything 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:08.560 from I'm trying that. I think you might like this. Okay, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.240 So do I should I just try to break it? 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.719 Or do I just bite it? How did you just 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.200 pick it up and bite it? Here we go, don't 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.440 mind the faces. Everybody here like cheers cheers. Here we go. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.559 Oh it's hard. I thought it was gonna be soft. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.279 It's not that bad. I was expecting softness. It's hard. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.840 M hmm. I was gonna be soft from it from 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.119 minting than this juice. And I cooked it. It cooks 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.480 it like that. Well one day, boil them first, but 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.400 then you know, still with a boiled eggs, still soft, 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.880 but the juice gets it too. This I'm not gonna lie, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:56.320 Miss Jackson. This is it. This is an acquired I mean, 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.080 you had to have been broke to be eating knees. 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.640 I'm sorry, I don't know. I'm gonna make our crew 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.000 try it, because sometimes we have stuff on this show 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:08.640 where I'm like, I'm gonna have to get any shout 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:14.320 out to Jared.

Yeah, you're from 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.160 I'm from New York. You're from New York. Oh yes, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.840 I don't even think it's h's not New York thing? 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.159 You know? There for everybody like, you guys, gotta just 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.320 try this one time. It's definitely like if you like vinegar, 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:52.000 vinegar person, I love vinegar. Yeah, we just we just 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.240 had a guest on that likes vinegar too, Like I 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.280 put vinegar on everything. She would have loved this. You 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:03.119 had heard could have had a vinegar vinegar fast. Yeah. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.800 So what was going on at the time when you 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.880 were eating pickled eggs. I'm gonna keepna I'm gonna eat 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.040 the whole egg. By the way, you got it's still protein. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.160 Can never again. This is this is what and done. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.120 But what was going on when you were eating pickled 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:25.880 egg yolks? Mean when I was younger? Um, I love 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.200 to eat this just in general, but to continue to 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.160 eat it, Um, it's a it's a taste for me. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.640 It's nostalgic for me. Um, it's what I grew up eating. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.040 Walking to the corner store. That was even a thing 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.080 being young, walking to the corner store, or even before 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.480 school started, we walked to the corner store, got um 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.120 chips and hot sausage or pickled eggs. But you saw 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:55.280 like candy now later chips, the little twinkies in the package. 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.560 You said, oh, those eggs those eggs are calling my name. 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:03.720 I need a pickle egg. I needed pockletic. Um. Yeah, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.720 I don't know. I think the whole world learned something. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.880 I don't think. I think I think anyone would ever say, okay, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:16.120 miss Jackie, she's kicking back some eggs. Yeah I don't. Yeah, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.600 people will probably look at me and think, yeah, she's 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.080 not eating that. No, when when I look at you, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.440 I'm like, Okay, she's fit. You know, you're physically beautiful, 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:31.040 So okay, she's probably eating all these I have no idea, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.600 maybe sushi or something. Then you show but pickled eggs 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.600 as like a favorite thing that you're ordering through the mail. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.240 I'm like proud. It's like where I come from. It's 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.120 like it's like part of when people look at me, 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:48.439 they just pretty face and um, maybe nothing really behind it. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.120 But it is a lot more to that. Um, it's 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.880 not just a pretty face. Um. But a lot of 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.600 people don't know how I grew up either. I mean 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.920 I had seven eight nine year old Um, I was 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.680 getting in the house before my mom, making sure my 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.840 siblings were um doing their homework or babe before she 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:16.080 got home. Um, and she went she worked a job 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.280 and then she did uh night school as well. Was 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:24.440 she a single parent? Um? Single parents? My father? Um, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.480 my father I think was in prison until I was 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:31.320 about ten or eleven years old. Um, but yep, single 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:37.160 parents getting home um late, having to cook for us sometimes. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.640 And then even with that, I felt bad that my 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.320 mom had to come home and cook for us. So 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.120 I started cooking at a young age, just simple things. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.360 Or I would see her making like simple meals like 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.040 the beans and the rice, and um, all I can 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.760 make that. So trying to cook these certain things before 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.960 she even got home, UM made me feel good that 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.680 she didn't have to do this extra stuff because she's 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.320 busting her ass all day and the night to provide 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.960 a better life for us. Were you the oldest of 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.440 your siblings? Um? Yeah, that we're living in the household. Wow. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.280 So um it was me, and then I had two 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.640 younger sisters and then two cousins living living with us 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:25.240 at the time. So wow, that's cool that you looked 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.000 out for your mom like that. Though. That's really cool. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.600 I feel like it. It made me. It helped shape 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:39.200 me into who I am today, just with UM, loving 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:45.640 my family, loving where I came from, UM, loving how 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.560 she raised me or looking out for my siblings just 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.200 how I had to or just wanted to because I 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.120 didn't have to. Um, mind you. But it's like when 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.480 you have family and you you love and you look 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.520 at your family a certain way, like you want to 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:08.360 look out for them. You want them to, UM be 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.160 good at the end of the day. Yeah, I understand it. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:15.079 So where did like entrepreneurship hit your Like when did 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:21.120 it hit your radar? Um? You know what entrepreneurship it 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.880 just it just came naturally. So when I was younger, 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.240 just in general, UM, I love the glitz and the 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:33.200 glam of um being an actress or Hollywood m movies, 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:38.960 modeling so UM. I went to a television production UM 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.960 high school. So I learned like a lot of the 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:45.000 behind the scenes of filming or writing scripts and things 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.800 like that. UM. And I also like went to like 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.680 a little modeling school when I was younger. UM. But 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:57.599 along with those things, I was always obsessed with, UM 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:02.440 clothes or high heels, your shoe collections. Crazy. That's It's 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.160 like I call it a good bad habit if that 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.719 if that makes sense. UM. So every since I can remember, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.320 I was wearing high heels or my mom would let 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.520 me wear high heels. Since I was like fourteen fifteen, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.599 I've been wearing high hills. Now, were you one of 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.320 those girls that were like the only one in the 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.080 school wearing heels or was everybody wearing heels in your school? 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.360 She was in Miami, right, so yeah, but I think 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:34.079 around my generation, they were still into those sneakers, Like 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.200 I would wear the sneakers and stuff like that, but 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.880 I was still like want to rock my little platforms 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:44.240 and being a little different and stuff. But I've always 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.760 been like that, which is shoes with my shoes. Like 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:55.680 trying to remember. So, were you doing like entrepreneurial type 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.200 stuff in high school or yeah? So in high school, well, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.920 I started middle school, middle school, the high school, Um, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:10.559 I was selling UH chips and juice, honey buns candy. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.240 So I would go to school with a big bag 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.360 um like a mini Duffel bag, and I would freeze 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.319 the juices um at night before I went to school, 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.959 take them out, and in the morning people begin their 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.920 juices and their honey buns for me or throughout class. 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.120 And sometimes I would get in trouble because people be 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.120 knocking on my door or like homeroom likes Jackson in 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.520 here t sh would be like if you don't get 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.120 out of here, um, but like coming to get chips 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:45.040 or candy or juice. Uh So yeah, that was You 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.480 just made me realize that that was like the start 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.640 of my entrepreneurial and what we're using the money for, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:56.240 um for school stuff. Um My mom pretty much had 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.520 to provide for me and my sisters, um my, my 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.200 two cousins. And it was things that I wanted that 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.640 she really didn't have the money to get me. So 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.920 if I wanted to go on the field trip or 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:15.120 get extra things for school, I was making this money 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.760 with selling this stuff in school to provide myself with 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.280 what I wanted pretty much like even for prom or 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.440 um high school events and stuff like that. The money 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.800 didn't have to come out of her pockets. So and 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.200 it felt it made me. It made me feel good 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.160 that I was making my own money to buy the 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.560 stuff that I wanted at the end of the day. Yeah, Now, 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.960 when I was growing up at school, we were we 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.680 were definitely poor. We didn't ask our parents for anything. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.360 But if you were poor in my school, you got 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.640 made fun up. They was like scrub especially with TLC 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.720 dropped the most scrubs you have made for the bed 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.160 if we didn't have like the cool kicks and all 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.080 that stuff. So did you have to experience that or 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.360 did you did? Are you making enough money to like 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.600 be like, here's my one pair of good shoes to 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.560 ride you know what? UM? I didn't really experience that. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:09.320 And I feel like in a sense like kids maybe 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.360 picked on kids that they knew that they could pick 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.120 on because I didn't have the best of things. UM, 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.880 But I didn't have the worst of things either. UM. 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.040 I still had like my little things here and there, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.880 my my father, UM, when he did get out of prison, 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.040 UM was able to, you know, help out some and 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.920 stuff like that. So I had a pair of Nikes 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.760 or um, some Pumas or some I think when I 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:37.040 was younger, some uh Sconi's if I'm not mistaken, but 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:46.600 that still UM, I still UM, I didn't have everything 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.560 I wanted. Like kids was walking, kids were rocking on 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:55.360 peppal or Fu Boo or Sean John, um, things like that, 0:15:55.440 --> 0:16:00.840 and I definitely couldn't afford that. So I mean off 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:05.840 label clothes, no label clothes. UM. When I got to 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.760 high school, I did wear uniforms so so that that 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.640 did make it easier because you have a uniform and 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:17.760 which is wore your your playing pants or something like that. Yeah, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.840 so I watched your social media. I'm a fan of 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.120 yours and we have some mutual friends, so we get 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.440 to cross over a little bit. Um, but I'm a 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.520 fan of yours. You know, you're definitely we've already touched 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.920 on you know, you're externally beautiful, You're hilarious online. You 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.880 definitely you definitely have your I feel like your your 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.400 funny side is definitely showcased on your social media. But 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.760 when I see you know what called my attention was 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.840 you have the shoegummies And I know that process was 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.160 this process wasn't your typical like when you see um, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.920 you know celebrities, they'll do like endorsement deals or or 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.840 you know, like they and I'm not negating anybody's work 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.800 or anything, but it's more of a sign on. But 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.840 in your case, you invented something to help aide your 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.919 shoe I'm your shoe collection. I yeah, pretty much my 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.400 shoe collection. What was the process like to like, were 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.919 you finding a did you find a problem and then 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:20.879 realized there was no solution? And then you went to 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.120 invention mode. Yeah, pretty much. So honestly, just with having 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.119 my own obsession with high hills, wearing them day in 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.439 and day out, I was already on the search for 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.919 finding something that would help them be more comfortable and everything. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.160 At the time, I think maybe there were some foot 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:44.960 creams um which absolutely don't do anything, or inserts shoe 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.840 the shoe inserts for the ball of the foot, and 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.639 those It absolutely nothing to me. Uh So I just 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.200 particularly had my Aha moment one day and just thought, well, 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.440 if things go in the shoe and they don't do anything, 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.400 or if they do go in the shoe, they can 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.800 make the shoe tighter or slip around. Yeah, I was like, well, 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.840 what stops me from maybe putting something on the outside bottom? 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:15.000 I mean, I have more room here and um, this 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:19.520 can to me do more good than something going inside. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.919 So at the time I took one pair of shoe 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.600 to my shoe, a pair of guy at the time, 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.040 and I asked him how much rubber or material can 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.800 I put on the bottom of the shoe so I 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:37.400 can um still walk in it, and um it's uh, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.879 it's still wearable. He put um like a quarter of 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.400 an inch thick of rubber on the bottom of the shoe. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.800 I picked up like a week later. Um, I wore 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.520 it that night, and I kid you not, I was 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.679 amazed at how this little piece of rubber that he 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.679 put under the shoe really changed the dynamic of the 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.200 depths that I was taken in the shoe from when 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.199 they didn't have the product on there and I was 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:10.560 taking my shoes twenty and thirty pair to him. Um 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:12.919 after that, so he can put extra rober at the 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.000 bottom because it didn't make that money. So you realize 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.280 you can't put something in the shoe, But what made 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.960 you think? I just can't imagine how you thought that far? 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.919 So like literally think and it's genius because if you 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.159 think about it, like what is it? You're offsetting the 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.879 balance back onto the heel of the shoes that so 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.399 what happens is it um it can tilt your foot 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:40.440 and the shoe back slightly and it'll take a lot 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.280 of that pressure off the balls of the feet and 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.800 even in some instances it redistributes some of that pressure 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:51.160 more evenly across the foot on putting um um more 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.679 pressure on the heel as well. UM. Normally, when we 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.879 wear high heels, it's over our body weight on the 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.399 balls of our feet. So that's like one of the 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.600 bigger issues. So now you have all this weight on 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.960 the balls of your feet, which are going to make 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:11.520 your your toes um hurt faster, the balls of your feet, 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.480 um and all of that. So that's where I come 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.919 into play with shoegumm me and it does take the 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.880 pressure off. Um. I feel like it makes me walk 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:29.080 more confidently because when I wear heels, UM, the best 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.639 way that I can describe it is like a forward feeling. 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.719 And it's like when you put your heels on and 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:40.120 you're shifted this way. So with my product, now your 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.439 weight is shifted back into a more comfortable stance. That 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.280 makes sense, Yeah, instead of that forward feeling. And I 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:53.480 feel like, um, a lot of women wear heels and 0:20:53.960 --> 0:21:00.000 they're constantly it's on like a tilt forward and um 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.040 that's it's it's uncomfortable. Yeah, I UM. I'm starting to 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.720 get a small shoe collection, you know, I do one 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.520 shoe at a time. I'll splurge you like once every 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.560 couple of months. By the way, we have to there 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.919 was a shoe cam. You need a shoe camp because 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.359 her shoes are so fired today. Um, you definitely have 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.640 to start get a shoe cam for sure. Yeah, yeah, 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:26.640 your shoes are these are beautiful red boots. But I 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:28.480 so I went into the store the other day. I 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.000 think I had seen like St. Laurent or something. It 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.200 was cute, these cute little shoes with a little s 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.000 and on the phone, and I tried those things on 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.280 it and things hurt so bad, and I was like, yeah, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.160 there's a fly. But man, like if I go because 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.320 I'm doing this some festival in New York, and so 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:45.760 I was like, oh, I'll just wear this on during 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:47.600 the festival, like I would literally have to have them 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.560 in my bag and just wear them while sitting. And 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:54.640 then I was like, I'm not spending you know, I think, 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.040 oh even yeah, I thought yeah, but I was I'm 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.040 not dropping that much for her shoes that I can't 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.159 even wear for like three seconds. And I've done that 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.680 before where I've dropped that much and they collect dust 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:07.560 in my closet because I'm like, I can't ever wear 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.240 it again. And so that particular shoe that you're talking about, 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:15.400 a lot of ladies come to me complaining about that 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.119 shoe in particular, and I literally just did a post 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.160 about it. Um. I saw the comments on it too. 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:23.720 They were going in and nothing you can do to 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.399 fix that shoe, Like so many people complain about that 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.560 shoe and then like some people are like, well why 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.320 do you even pay that much? And you know that 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.280 she was uncomfortable. And I think with heels just in general, 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.879 like the pain that we get from wearing the heels 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:44.080 is the price of this beauty. But with my product, 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:51.080 I I helped with that pretty much. Um, someone else 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:54.400 just did a post with that wire sell shoe. Her 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:58.360 shoe literally had dust in the shoe. You can see 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.360 the dust in the video on the shoe and she 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.000 put the gummies on the bottom, and um, she did 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:06.720 like a whole bunch of crazy stuff in the video, 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.520 like um doing the Megan nostalgia needs or can I 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.600 swallow Mende now? Like it was a really good video, 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.439 but um, that shoot in particularly it is definitely, um 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.080 a killer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I think I 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.400 want to start leaning towards like Fendi or something because 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:33.880 Benny has some comfortable shoe. I think every brand can 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.400 have some comfortable shoes. Is just like those certain ones 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:39.760 are just really uncomfortable, and a lot of women don't 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:44.040 factor certain things also with heels that they just think 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.640 going out the gate, I'm aware of five in chill 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.399 and I'm aware this all night and is this and no, 0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:53.200 it's a lot of factors when it comes to high heels. 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:58.520 That you have flat feet, um, even the length of 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:02.760 your legs is well, like do you normally walking hills? Um? 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:04.720 Have you ever walked into five in shield? Four? And 0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.040 sheeld three and schill? Um. It's just a lot of 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.160 factors when it comes out. I would not even think 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.840 about those questions. I just go and I'm like today, 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:18.400 i wanna look sexy from my husband, So I'm gona. 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.560 I'm gonna look cool and figure out how to walk 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:26.280 in them later. Yeah, the the endstep, the height of 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.760 the hill. I can go on and on about a 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:31.199 pair of shoes and what can be more comfortable and 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:36.520 what to stay away from, like do you um uh 0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:38.639 like a pointed shoe? Though, so Kates, you know what 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.080 those are? The Christian Lubertan's Oh yeah, you mean the 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:43.920 ones that come to a point. Yeah. Yeah, I don't 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:47.200 have a bother. I don't even bother. Yeah. Some people 0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:51.399 buy um, some ladies buy my product and they think 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.280
