WEBVTT - The Personality Test That Can Totally Change the Way You Work 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:24.120 Hey, hey, hey, Hi, we're back. We're black, We're brown. 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:25.400 This is Tiffany. 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.000 What's up, girls, Mandy? Did you miss us? 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.760 I know we saw some of your tweets and this 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.120 is brown ambition if you got stumbled here by mistake 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.600 and don't realize where you are. But I saw some tweets, 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.879 like someone said, what I thought was so cute that 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.319 I'm just over here refresh on the screen even though 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.879 I know no new podcast is coming today, but you 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.720 never know, just refreshing my screen. 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.480 One week, one week, y'all, one week. We've never taken 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:52.480 a long hiatus. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.440 Yes, we know how you guys. You know how you 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.520 guys love to listen and we love that you listen. 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.280 And so we are back barely. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.680 So I've been in the delightful Charlotte, North Carolina all week. 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.920 Barely made it back. All these flight delays and stuff. Yeah, 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.480 these like we had a company kind of offsite where 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.760 we had we have workers all over the country, so 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.560 we brought them all together for an off site. We 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.720 just acquired this website called student loan Hero. So some 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.640 of you guys, if a student loan debt, may be 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.440 aware of student loan Hero. They're Actually, they're really cool. 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.240 They created a platform where you could load all your 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.200 student loans into one place and like, you know, keep 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.240 tabs on them, because I don't know if kids who 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.119 graduate today graduate with like sixteen different loans, with four 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.160 different loan services and all that. So they've done a 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.800 lot of great work helping people pay off their student 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.280 loan debt and we're so excited to work with them. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.840 Blah blah blah. But here's what happened, So Mandy Woodruff, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.400 I think about like who I used to be when 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.560 I was a kid, and like how deeply shy and 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.640 deeply introverted I was. And for me to have survived 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.000 a week like this, I just feel like, man, you 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.320 really can grow and all it can happen for anybody 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.000 can get through this week. Anybody can do anything. But 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.440 by the time we we wrap things up on Friday 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.880 after like constant presentations and sessions and talking and dinners 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.000 and talking and people and uh, I had to book 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.720 myself a self care massage. Like I scooted it on it. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.519 I like slid out of the the last thing of 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.919 the day. I was like and goodbye, and I took 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.560 a lift to get a massage and just be in 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.200 a dark room for an hour and a half was 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:25.160 much needed. 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.280 Sometimes it's just it's just it's just overwhelmed depending on 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.240 I mean, I know everyone says they're an introvert now, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.600 but it could be really overwhelming depending on like the 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.200 I think for anybody, even if you are, I guess 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.400 extroverts love all that, but yeah, I can just see. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.440 You being like this, this too much. It's like me 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.400 being hugged all day long. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.800 It's like, okay, okay, it's I mean, it's not like introvert. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.799 I mean, some people think introvert just means you're really 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.200 shy and like you don't like people, and that's not 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.120 what it means. It just it's about where you get 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.520 your energy from. And for introverts, you can get you 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.200 can enjoy talking to people, but it actually drains your 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.480 energy and you need to to re energize. You need 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.399 to be alone and to be like thoughtful and quiet, 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.440 Whereas an extrovert they get their energy from those human 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.880 interactions and like charges them up. So it's just it's 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.959 just a different way. But but the what I've learned, 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.040 especially because I've done a couple of like management trainings 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.079 and personality tests and stuff. Is that it does? That does? 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.560 That's not your only story. It's not like because I 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.720 at my natural core get really exhausted by talking to 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.120 a lot of people and like giving presentations and being 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.399 out there out there. It doesn't mean that I'm bad 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.440 at what I do. It just me like I can 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.360 learn to work with it. I can learn to push myself, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.160 and I push myself all that. I mean, just to 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.080 be a manager in generally, you have to push yourself 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.520 to to to to break out of my natural state 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.320 of being, which is like me in a dark corner 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.040 of a room, you know, being alone, Like that's not 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.760 going to help me succeed, But it's it's like recognizing 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.240 and being self aware of where your weaknesses are and 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.360 then working really hard to be self aware and to 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.640 correct yourself so that you can be the person you 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.920 need to be for the job that you have. And 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.240 that it's what I've had to. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.000 Learn basically, be best, Be best. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.360 But those of you who don't know me and man, 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.840 we're having like a little slide conversation. I mean, not 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.800 to laugh the first lady, but to laugh the first lady. 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.960 Her platform is anti bullying, which I guess is the 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:25.280 opposite of what we're doing right now, but she. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.279 Can take it, yes, and she so if you guys, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.120 it was like literally months and months and months ago, 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.159 where like I guess, she addressed like this is gonna 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.479 be my platform, which is like cyber bullying or whatever, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.279 and she encouraged. 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.520 Children to be best, not be the best, not be 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.200 your best, but be best, be. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.640 Best, and so you know, we just think that. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.279 So you don't know what it means. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.800 I think you're gonna hear us randomly just like spit 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.280 out be best and just because it's hilarious. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.000 It's only been May, I mean months and months and 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.200 it's only a couple of months ago. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.160 The best. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.440 You know, Manny, you want to have you you been 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.200 to Sojo Spot, right, could you?

And honestly it's a 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.640 villa and it's beautiful.

Some say top 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.040 top three of our time, which I would tend to agree, 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.000 although I do not do the sports. He started a 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.840 school in Akron, Ohio, where he grew up, called the 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:02.200 I Promise School, and it is amazing. Here's some of 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.800 the highlights. It focuses on accelerated learning, provides job placement 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.680 for a job placement assistance for parents. Has on has 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.040 an on site food bank, supports students with stress from 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.280 economic causes. Gives every student a bike to escape dangerous 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.200 parts of the city. Guarantee free college tuition to the 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.120 University of Akron to all graduates starting in twenty twenty one. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.800 So I believe like most schools starting off like well, 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.200 many new schools start off with like one or two grades. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.280 I think this is third and fourth grade, and then 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:39.080 every year they add on a new grade level. But 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.880 like there's even more to this, Like they have like 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.800 just what I love And this is what I've always said, 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.280 Like me as a teacher, I said, like, if I 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.040 was going to create something for students, you have to 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.800 include the parents because I don't. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:50.880 Care how much you teach. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.600 It's one of the reasons why I started at the Budget, Lisa, 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.480 because I was teaching the kids at school and the 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.400 parents would come and struggling, and then they would ask 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.040 me to borrow mone whatever. And I would say, you 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.800 know what, during naptime when your kids are a sleep, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.879 come in and I'll help you budget. I'll show you 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.960 how to save because I recognize that, like, it's not 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.040 just if you're wanting to change a student's life. It 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.359 can't just happen in the classrooms. They have a bigger 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.520 life beyond that. And I just love that Lebron and 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.399 whoever has been helping him understands that in order to 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.320 really help the child, you have to help the whole family. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.639 And I just love that they have all of this 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.000 stuff for like kids and the family. I think this 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.280 is amazing, you know, I. 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.159 Mean, is it a public school or a private? Like, 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.320 how do you get into it? 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.320 It said it's an Agri based nonprofit school, So I 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.520 don't know what that means. 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.920 I've heard different projects apply. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.040 Yes, and it's the thing is he's partnered with public schools, 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.480 So I don't know exactly what kind of school it is, 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.320 you know what I mean, Like, I don't know, yeah, 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.879 but yeah, I believe. So what he's specifically looking to 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:56.359 do is boosting achievement for younger students from disadvantaged background. 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.160 So this is not one of those school who they're 0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:59.720 trying to skim the cream of the crop, like the 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.000 kids that they are already killing it. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.320 They're literally looking for kids that are struggling and saying, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.840 you come here, maybe I'll move my kids to What 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:06.440 about you? 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.879 Oh you know, I'm fine, what about me? So I 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.000 have to do a boost for I don't think i've 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.240 done this boost before of this specific So one of 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:18.840 the things I've learned, Like I was talking a little 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.760 bit about my personality and how that's influenced my work environment, 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.919 and maybe I kind of buy into the squishiness of 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.320 like different work personalities a little too much, but I 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.000
