11
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: No, it feels so good to be back. Honestly, I

12
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: woke up this morning. It was my first day of like,

13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: you know, back at work, and I was like, you know,

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: one more day. But then I had my first call

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: with the team, and I was like, I love it here.

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: All good. Okay, So you didn't have like the Monday

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: scary or what is it the Sunday scaries coming back?

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: No, I was like, you know, yesterday, it was just

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: I'm used to waking up and literally being like I

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: could do whatever I want, and so initially I was like, wait,

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: I have responsibilities. So I wasn't sure how I felt

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: about it, But then talking to the team and they

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: were just so excited and the projects that were working on,

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: and I honestly loved doing the budget Nista, but the

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: time away it was like my chance to reconnect with Tiffany.

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: I had not hung out with her in a long

27
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: long time, so.

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: It's not like, you know, it happened.

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: So it was like, Tiffany, it's cute that you do Budgetista,

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: but there's also Tiffany, so don't forget about her.

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: So it was just a really great time to reconnect.

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: Six weeks. I took three of the weeks to go

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: on VAK and then three three in a row.

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: No like the first week. I needed like a real decompressed.

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: I told my husband, everybody leave me alone. I run

36
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: to the beach house right next to the border, and

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: I remember many we had, like our long, like delicious talk.

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I probably can't expect a two hours

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: phone calls from every day of her fatus, but it.

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: Was great, And honestly, I walked the boardwalk. I went

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: back to being vegan. I got so much exercising. Although

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: I have not lost any weight, my.

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: Body is shapely, honey, like I lost inches.

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: I just feel really good, and I took two weeks

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: to kind of hang out with my my niece and

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: my nephew. Like my sister was so grateful because like

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: every other day, I was like, I'm coming to pick

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: up the kids. I'm taking them to the zoo, I'm

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: coming to pick up the kids. I'm taking them on

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: a little hike for like four hours. And she was like,

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: is this real life? So that was really a lot

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: of fun. And then I hung out my family a

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: lot and and Superman and Supergirl.

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: Then I took a one week vacation to Ashville, North Carolina.

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: About five days.

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: I wanted to see the Biltmore because I really love Yeah,

58
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: I love historic homes. And I was like, you know,

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: I've always too wanted to see like the Blue mountains,

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: you know untains.

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 3: Yes, they're beautiful. The Builtmore is I don't even have

62
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: the words for it.

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: It was.

64
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: It was so beautiful. And then the last week we

65
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: went to Florida Keys and that was, Yes, that was amazing,

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: Like it was that.

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: Is not the Jersey Shore, No, it was very much.

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: It was it was giving Jamaica without the accents. Okay,

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: So that was with the family. So Biltmore I did

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: by myself.

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: The shore I did by myself, but then invited like

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: my sister and the kids for for a night to

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: spend the night. And then uh Florida I did with

74
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: the you know, my husband and my my bonus baby,

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: my bonus daughter, and so it was exactly you know

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: sometimes you like I was worried that I wasn't you know,

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to just sit home,

78
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: but I also don't want to give myself task because

79
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: you know how we are like. And then you know,

80
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: like first week I was like taking courses. My husband

81
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: was like, what what are you doing. I was like, oh,

82
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: I started this trading course. I'm totally gonna learn the trade.

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: And that's how you told the day we talked and

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: we were like, I don't learn how to trade.

85
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: And then after three.

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: Days and I was like, this is not fun, Tiffany.

87
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: This is supposed to be a break girl. You can

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: learn to trade at on your own time, on a budget,

89
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: Easter time.

90
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: This is Tiffany time.

91
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: So when I tell you I read at least ten books, Mandy,

92
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: it's been because.

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 3: I was really like a big reader.

94
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, like and then I just didn't get a chance

95
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: to you know, I just never gave Tiffany a chance

96
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: to be Tiffany. So I stopped reading as much, but

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: I forgot how much I enjoyed reading, and I read

98
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: some really great books. I found myself reading a lot

99
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: of amazing kind of memoirs from like dope people and

100
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: being inspired by their journey and like their journey allowing

101
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: me to see my journey differently, like oh, you're not crazy,

102
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: Like how you're feeling is normal. This is I read

103
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: ebon Orgi's what is it called Bamboozo My d Jesus.

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: That was really good. I was like, look like I

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: was like not.

106
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: To say, I'm surprised it was good, but especially once

107
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: you got into the meat and potatoes, it was really

108
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: good about reconnecting me back to spirit and like how

109
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: it could she really make sure that God plays like

110
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: a role in her everyday life.

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: It's not just like this like oh, off to the side.

112
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: And it was a reminder that like, oh, you know,

113
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: I haven't been connected to a higher source. And then

114
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: I listened to Elaine welter Off More Than Enough. That's

115
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: such a great book about her story and how she

116
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: became his teen Vogue editor in chief and all that

117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: happened and how she got there.

118
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: That was great.

119
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: Then randomly I listened to Magnolia, you know, Magnolia Story

120
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: Chip and Joanna.

121
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, that was good. I was like, wow,

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: they have a memoir.

123
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: Yes, it was really good about it.

124
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: It's actually less I thought it was gonna be about

125
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 2: how do they become you know, Chip and Joanna Gains

126
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: of HGTV. No. What I didn't realize is like they

127
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: had already done ninety percent of the work by the

128
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 2: time the show came along.

129
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: So it was kind of like, oh, wow, the show.

130
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: Didn't actually make them. The show would put a spotlight

131
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: on what they made. And I was like, oh, and

132
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: I had to like mentally apologize to Chip because I'm

133
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: not gonna lie he was an idiot and.

134
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Make him look so like the dumb jock. But you

135
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: know TV will do that.

136
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: No, Mandy, when I tell you he's the business like

137
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: genius behind it all, I was like, wait, what.

138
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: I was not to say? Joanna obviously is smart, but

139
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: like she is the creative one.

140
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: Joanna says, hmm, I think that we should you know,

141
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: like bread crocodiles, and Chip figures it out and finances

142
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: it and figures, you know what I mean. So she

143
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: has like the idea and sometimes and many times the

144
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: idea comes from him.

145
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 3: But it actually hit his part because it was, you know,

146
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: they both read the book.

147
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: His part made me want to go and read his book,

148
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: and I did. I think it's called Capital Gains, and

149
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: I was even more impressed. He's got an amazing business

150
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: mind and how he thinks about growth.

151
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, so sorry, you're not a dummy.

152
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: And now I'm listening to Shoe Dog, Phil Knight's book

153
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: about Nike. He's the co founder of Nike. Honestly, if

154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: you you are a business owner, I implore you to

155
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: read or listen to Shoe Dog because it is the realest,

156
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: like I guess, memoir or story about a business. Literally

157
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: he failed for like fifteen year street and so you

158
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: know all these illusions that you see on social media

159
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: of like I make my money and I only worked too.

160
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: I was a year Like you listened to Shoe Dog

161
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my god, how did he keep going?

162
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: It's such a really good like book.

163
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, I read, like I said, a ton of

164
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: books and they really helped to reset how I thought

165
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: about how I thought about my journey and my life,

166
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: and they were just really interesting and so like I

167
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: just I'm just full of so many like lessons and

168
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: bursting with like I don't know, I'm just rejuvenated and

169
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: my comf is refilled.

170
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Oh I love that I only had a Well, we

171
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: missed you so much, but we had a wonderful opportunity

172
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: to get some guests on the show. But we're so

173
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: excited to have you. I'm saying we I'm so excited,

174
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: and I imagine all the listeners are so excited. I mean,

175
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: I want to talk about taking time off and rejuvenating

176
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: because that's something. I mean, you missed a lot while

177
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: you were gone, but nothing groundbreaking. I mean I kind

178
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: of started my own business and got a tesla, and

179
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: I didn't I probably gained inches, I didn't lose any inches. Yeah,

180
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot has gone down. But I just took a

181
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: mini little rejuice. I didn't take a six week hiatis,

182
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: but I took a weekend hiatus. We went to this

183
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: farm in the Catskills, and I don't know. All I

184
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: can say is I drank a bottle of wine last

185
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: week in Tiffany, and I was on the internet and

186
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: I cannot even tell you what search query I typed

187
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: into the Google gods, but I found this farm that

188
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: is like the perfect the perfect getaway for a family

189
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: who wants to be outdoorsy but doesn't want to do

190
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: the work to be outdoorsy. So it was like semi glamping,

191
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: but you get a big private tent with beds and

192
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: a toilet and a sink, but you're in the woods.

193
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: Then you get to cook on a stove, but like

194
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: they provide it for you. And yes, you can have

195
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: a wood burning oven in in your tent, but they

196
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: give you the wood and they chop it for you.

197
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: And then sure they do you know, pizza night on Saturday,

198
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: and they do wood fire pizzas and they have all

199
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: the animals and oh my god, it was so it

200
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: was so fun. And I mean I slept twelve hours.

201
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I went to bed at eight pm last night, and

202
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: I woke up at eight am this morning because I

203
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: was just so dog tired chasing my child around the

204
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: farm for three days. But I'm with you about like

205
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: no social media and taking a little hiatus because it

206
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: was off the grid, off the grid, there was no

207
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Wi Fi, no electricity other than the lanterns they would

208
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: give you, you know, to see in the dark at

209
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: at your cabin, but it was in the fresh air.

210
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: When I tell you seeing my son like Rio, and

211
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: you missed this too. So Rio. Actually we've been talking

212
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: to we've been learning more about his speech. He hasn't

213
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: really been talking as much. He's nineteen months now and

214
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: he's in your preschool teachers, he might know a little

215
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: bit about this, but or you were. Anyway, he's you know,

216
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: he's got some kind of a speech delay, but he

217
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: loves to communicate. And just seeing him out there, I mean,

218
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: he literally squealed when we when we got when we

219
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: got dropped off at the farm on Friday night, he

220
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: squealed when he saw the chickens. It's all the cows.

221
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: It was wonderful And it was just a weekend. And

222
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: don't tell a husbe, but I already booked another weekend

223
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: at the same farm. Yeah, for October.

224
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: No, it sounds awesome now. Question because another a friend

225
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: of mine, her daughter is two, and she was concerning

226
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: not that she doesn't say anything, but not sentences. It's

227
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: like a word here, word there, And she was like, oh,

228
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: you know, I was like, well, one she's two, so

229
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 2: you know, like that's a when kids are really I

230
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: had a cousin who had speech delay until he was five,

231
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: and now he's like a neuroscientist, so let's not you know.

232
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 3: I was like, don't look at your house.

233
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, like sometimes people like literally Now, one of the

234
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: things that I suggested and question, does Enrique do you

235
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: speak to Rio in Spanish?

236
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: And does Rique speak to Rio in Spanish?

237
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: Not?

238
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Really? No, I know that was something that crossed our mind.

239
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: We can't.

240
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: I can't even pretend like he's raised completely bilingual, except

241
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: he does see his grandparents fairly regularly, and they of

242
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: course speak to him in Spanish. They don't speak English.

243
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: But I will say, you know, for anyone who's listening

244
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: and they have a young like a toddler, who's maybe

245
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: not if you're just concerned, you know, I don't have

246
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: any kid to compare him to, especially not during quarantine

247
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: when he hasn't been around any other kids. So basically

248
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: I told myself I'd wait till eighteen months and then

249
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I'd ask a pediatrician. And she never really seems to

250
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: care that much about any of my concerns. She's always like, yeah,

251
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: it's normal, it's which is which is great most of

252
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: the time. But when it came to the eighteen month

253
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: checkup and she said, you know it's it's probably fine,

254
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: just wait and see something told me like, I just

255
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: want to I want to advocate for him. I want

256
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: to take him to a specialist. What I found out though,

257
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: and maybe other places have this too, but in our county,

258
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: in Westchester County and New York, they actually offer a free,

259
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: taxpayer funded early intervention program and you get access to

260
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: speech therapists, like ongoing therapy, evaluations, all that kind of stuff,

261
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: with excellent, you know resources right here in our county

262
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: that are completely free. So I did drop a couple

263
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: hundred bucks for a private session with a specialist just

264
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: to get a you know, just to get a second

265
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: opinion because the county program. It took a little bit

266
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: for them to get back to me. But we're, I mean,

267
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: we're at the very beginning. They all agree that he's

268
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: not speaking as they would expect for his age. He

269
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: doesn't have very many words at all. But part of

270
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, what was like hard about reaching out for

271
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: help in that case. And this is maybe just sounds dumb,

272
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: but part of me like didn't want him to think

273
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: I doubted him, So that makes sense, like, yeah, I

274
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: didn't want him to think, oh mommy, not that he

275
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: would even he doesn't even know what's going on, but

276
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Part of me just felt like reaching

277
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: out for help and getting him like tutoring or speech

278
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: therapy was like me doubting his own because I get it.

279
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: And what's helped me so much with my journey through

280
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: postpartum anxiety and depression has been really just giving in

281
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: to him and giving into his own schedule, his own

282
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: way of doing things, his own way of and it's

283
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: just worked so beautifully. But I quickly have I not quickly,

284
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: but I've gotten over that. I'm like, it can't hurt

285
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: to get him into some kind of therapy. I just

286
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: can't wait to talk to him.

287
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I've seen literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,

288
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: if not thousands, of kids come through, and we've had kids.

289
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: I've seen two year old girls and boys who are

290
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: just like Lisa. For example, my baby sister, she was

291
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: so verbal. The doctor was like wait what, but remember

292
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: she had four older chatty sisters who were like, what's

293
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: the baby talk? Because I was ten, and I'm like, girl,

294
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: first of all, what did I say?

295
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: So Lisa she got basically and says some people are

296
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: raised up. She was dragged up.

297
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: And so that played a huge role in her ability

298
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: to quickly get with the program because my mom, I

299
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: always said, like we raised Lisa.

300
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: She's like, I'm tired. This is number five. She belongs

301
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: to you.

302
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: Sure make sure she doesn't, you know, put her finger

303
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: in the socket or like you know, eat, you know,

304
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: eat dirt.

305
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 3: That's those are those those are your parameters.

306
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: So but then you have, like I said, my cousin,

307
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: you know, he they were really worried because he was

308
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: like five, and they were like, oh, okay, he doesn't

309
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: he doesn't only say many words, and the words he's saying,

310
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: he's having a hard time.

311
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: And now literally I think he has two master's degrees.

312
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, I need to tell these stories. Y'all send

313
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: us dms on Instagram, Prime Invention Podcast. I love, send

314
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: me all your stories because I cannot hear enough of them. Yeah,

315
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: can't hear enough.

316
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: So it's just like, you know, and so I guess

317
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: some people literally there's just delay for whatever reason. It's

318
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: almost like have you ever seen kids who are really short.

319
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: Even through high school, you kind of figure, well, you

320
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: kind of this is your height, and then all of

321
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: a sudden they actually grow the inches in college because

322
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: some people have like a growth delay, especially boys, and

323
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: then their height doesn't come in until after eighteen, which

324
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: is not unheard of, but it seems so weird because

325
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, people really developed, you know, at their

326
00:14:59,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: own pace.

327
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that you don't keep an eye.

328
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: On it, like you.

329
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean you've met Roman, you see, like he's like

330
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: the freaking boy genius. Carol was telling me she was

331
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: like girl at school, they were like, does Roman speak?

332
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: And she's like, I wouldn't know because he doesn't talk

333
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: to me. I mean I was like really, She's like yeah, girl,

334
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: She's like I was like wait, cause she's like he

335
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: was my first so I didn't know when he was

336
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: supposed to start talking. She just thought I was normal

337
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: that he's like too and saying nothing. And it wasn't

338
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: until Amelia came his sister. Then all of a sudden

339
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: he had a lot to say because he was telling

340
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: her where to go, what not to do.

341
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: Yes, she was.

342
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: She was really shocked, like wow, because you would think like, oh, well,

343
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: he's going to talk to mommy at home, and she

344
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: said literally like Roman said nothing. They were worried about him,

345
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: they wanted to get him evaluated, and he just was

346
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: mute with them. And she's like, he barely said anything

347
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: at home. And then Amelia came and all of a sudden,

348
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: it was like stop, baby.

349
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Amelia, come here.

350
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: She's like why you are exactly like wait, and so

351
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: I just all got to say that, like there are

352
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: so many reasons it could be and and it almost

353
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: always fine.

354
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: I know it'll end up fine. He's just so damn

355
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: smart and so observant like this this child. He was

356
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: begging to get for me to pick him up while

357
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: I was making dinner the other day and I gave him.

358
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: I dragged his little stool around and I was like, here,

359
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: watch mama make this squacamole.

360
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: You know.

361
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: He took. I was like, can you shake? Shake the

362
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: salt shaker over the over the bowl. He reached for

363
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: a lemon witch and said, Mama, we need a little acidity.

364
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: And he squeezed that lemon like he's been watching Ina

365
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: Garten on his tablet and not Pepa the pig, Like

366
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: he just he's so smart and observant. And oh the

367
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: other big thing is that he started daycare. Okay, it's

368
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: been a week of daycare, so I'm really hopeful that

369
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: between daycare being around other kids, and then it's free.

370
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's a free early intervention program, so I

371
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: think it's a wonderful resource. I pay taxes, let me

372
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: get some of this, you know, stuff that we pay for.

373
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: So that's that's where I'm at. Anyway, you're back, what

374
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: else has been going on? I'm a I'm a business owner.

375
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, so, how does that be?

376
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I know we had our our you know,

377
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: our our daytime two hour chat, and I was so

378
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: excited for you. And I told you and anybody who's

379
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 2: a business owner or thinking about being one, but if

380
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: you've been in the game for at least two plus

381
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: years or so, they everyone will all agree. Nothing grows

382
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: you up, Manny, I'm telling you will be a brand

383

384
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: ten years ago.

385
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, who is she? She's like my daughter?

386
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: Like, nothing grows you up? I think like motherhood, I'm

387
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: assuming and starting a business. It's what it pulls out

388
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 2: of you. There's this uh what is his name is?

389
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,080

390
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: He's a he's passed away, but he was like a

391
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: really famous, like motivational speaker.

392
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.

393
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 3: One of the things he said to one of his.

Speaker 2: Mentees is he said, I think you ought to, you know,

00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: And he was like why. He said, not for the money,

397
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 3: but for what it will make of you. And that's

398
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 3: exactly what it is for entrepreneurship. What it will make

399
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 3: of you.

400
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,080

Speaker 2: about it?

406
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: You know when you were talking about Chip and Joanna

407
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: doing ninety percent of the work and then they got

408
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: the TV show. I think the past six weeks or

409
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: how long has it been, like a little over a

410
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: month that I have been Mandy Money Media LLC. Since

411
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: I launched my business, it has been the most exciting,

412
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, the most exciting, invigorating, affirming experience

413
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: that I've ever had. I mean it, just the work

414
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: has been flooding Tiffany, like I am busy, like people

415
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: want to work with me, and I've realized that it's

416
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: not like when I start I started a business that

417
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: I was starting from scratch. I have a decade long

418
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: career in media and in reporting and in content, and

419
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I've been an entrepreneur where we launched Brown Ambition.

420
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 2: I was.

421
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: I was a nine to five entrepreneur when we launched

422
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: Brown Ambition. And for me, it's just been I feel

423
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: I feel excited. I feel kind of like, man, I

424
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: really I can't wait to see what happens to her

425
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: as in me, like I can't wait to see where

426
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: she goes. I feel this, I feel this new sense

427
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: of drive and purpose and this and it just feels

428
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: so it feels so right. It's just like I'm exactly

429
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: where I need to be. I'm so proud of the

430
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: work that I've done so far for other companies and

431
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: for all the amazing people that I've worked with. I'm

432
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: so grateful for those opportunities, some of them I'm still

433
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: working with now. You know, either as a consultant or

434
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: as a freelancer, and that's also wonderful, and I just

435
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for all that experience and I am

436
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: beyond ready for this new chapter. So y'all can find

437
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: me on TikTok. Yes, I have been leaning into TikTok.

438
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm figuring it out, like you can find me at

439
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Mandy Money on TikTok and and everywhere else. And you

440
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: know my real focus. And and look, Tiffany, if you

441
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: had listened to the show months ago, you might have

442
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: heard a very different tune from me talking about where

443
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: I was at in my career at that time. And

444
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: I have been getting messages from some listeners wanting to know,

445
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, what happened. This is a big change. I

446
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: just want to let you guys know that I've really

447
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: had this moment of aha when it came to what

448
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to do and what I wanted to contribute

449
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: to the world, and I really realized that what I

450
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: want to contribute it can't be contained working for any

451
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: one place. That was the right decision for me, and

452
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: so I started my own business just to really be

453
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: a complete control of what work I'm doing and what

454
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, what I'm saying my own voice, and that

455
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: has been such a positive impact on me. On top

Speaker 1: like flex here. What I'm trying to do is just

467
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: explain to people what can happen when you I don't

468
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: know if you had this experience too, but when you go,

469
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: when you go solo, you the the possibility like there

470
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: is no limit to your earning.

471
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a girl, I'm I'm I'm not moving over

472
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: the chair, like, come six to me. I don't told

473
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 2: you girl, it's good open. Well, it's hard, it's hard,

474
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: very wrong. But I took my six week break so

475
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: I didn't die.

476
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: But right that's where I want to be careful because

477
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: I am all about like solopreneurship and doing my own

478
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: thing now. But I had an amazing career and and

479
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: this is the story that I'm trying to tell right now,

480
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: is right when I started to launch my business, who

481
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: did I call first, Helen? My financial planner? You know Helen?

482
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: You guys have known prapped on the film with her,

483
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: and I said, Helen, and my husband too. I was like,

484
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of want to go independent. What

485
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: do you think? And she said, Mandy, let me show

486
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: you something. And she pulled up a spreadsheet with our

487
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: finances up on the screen. Over the past five years

488
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: that she and I have been working together, I have

489
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: ten exed my net worth from seventy K to seven

490
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: hundred K in less than five years. She said, Mandy,

491
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine, And that

492
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: was really, you know, And I did that because I worked,

493
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: and I had a career, and I had, you know,

494
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: standard nine to five jobs, and for a bunch of

495
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: other reasons that you know. I'm working on telling those stories.

496
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: But I say all that to tell people that there

497
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: is no one right path. It's not like entrepreneurship is

498
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: some key to unlocking you know, millions and millions of dollars.

499
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: But it is the chapter that I'm starting right now.

500
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, ten years working for amazing companies did not

501
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: do me wrong. I have built an incredible life and

502
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: I've learned so so much. But yeah, I'm I'm, I'm

503
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: really freaking excited for the next chapter.

504
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: And oh, I can't wait to talk more business with you.

505
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: One of the things I wreck I realized, like on

506
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: my time away, of how much I actually enjoy like

507
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: mentoring and talking to people about business because I used

508
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: to be like, well, I'm not an expert, and I'm not,

509
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: but I'm someone who is doing it, who has seen

510
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 2: so many ups and downs. It's like year I mean,

511
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: I started the business, started taking it seriously twenty ten,

512
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: so it's been eleven years.

513
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: But technically, really it's been thirteen.

514
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: You know, the first two years I was still teaching preschool,

515
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: so I really wasn't doing a bunch ofista.

516
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: So really like eleven like real years, and you know, y'all.

517
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 2: Know that last year we hit the our first eight

518
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: eight figure year of just over ten million dollars in business.

519
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: And so I've seen so many things and I'll say

520
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: this was what I wish I would have known. And

521
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: this is for anyone listening. What I have found is

522
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: that when you're on the right path, and you're you know,

523
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: you're trying something new, but it's the path you're supposed

524
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: to be on the beginning, you get a I don't

525
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: want to say, like a lucky strike. You get a

526
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: lot of grace is given to you in the beginning

527
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: because it's meant to say, you're on the right path,

528
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: don't give up right here, right here. But and I,

529
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: and like so many of us, make the mistake of

530
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: thinking this is how it be.

531
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: It's not.

532
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: But so meaning, are you about to burst my honeymoon period?

533
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: No, but look for this honeymoon period.

534
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: I want you to lean in and get as much

535
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: as basically, like you know, you've gotten what are those

536
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: things called when they let you go first, like a

537
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: like a like a golf or whatever they give you,

538
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: like a what does that thing call on golf when

539
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: they give it me, or like extra points or like

540
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: you know, you get to you get to if you're

541
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: a squirrel, they let you into the park first before

542
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: anybody else, you know, and then you know, so basically

543
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: this is a really great time because it's one, this

544
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: is a it's a clear indication that you're on the

545
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: right path because of how things have been flowing. And

546
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: two it means that lean in really hard, gain as

547
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: much as you can now because the challenges will come,

548
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: but they'll come because you've gotten good. Like I was

549
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: talking to Tracy and my sister, you know, she's my publicist,

550
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: and she's amazing, okay, but she just her business leelling

551
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 2: what she's notty six figures her first year and she

552
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: was telling me how like, you know, because now she's

553
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: having her because she had her you know, her initial

554
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: boost where it was okay, flowing. Now there's challenges And

555
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: she said, what am I doing wrong? I'm like, girl,

556
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: it's called business. And I said, she said, doesn't get easier.

557
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: I said, no, it actually gets harder, but you get better.

558
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: And so that's what will happen, is that you know,

559
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: initially you'll have this honeymoon phase and period. It might

560
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: last six months of that last year might last longer,

561
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: and then you will meet with challenges because you're growing

562
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: and it's just growing pains. And one of the one

563
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: of the huge takeaways that I got from reading Joanna

564
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: said something specific that she learned from Chip, But it

565
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: was read all the success stories I was reading in

566
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: these biographies or memoirs. It was repeated over and over,

567
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: just with different legers. But I felt like she said

568
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: it best when she first met Chip. I mean, I

569
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: don't I think you could tell if you guys watch

570
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Fix Her Upper reruns or whatever you watched it before,

571
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: you could tell that Joe, it's kind of like the

572
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: safety girl, you know, Like, I don't think that's such

573
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: a good idea. She's the She's the Chucky to Chips Tommy,

574
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: if you will, if you watch rug Grats, like, she's

575
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: the little like I air on the cautious side, which

576
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: is my nature and the nature of many women. And

577
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: what she found that that Chip was the opposite. Chip

578
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: was like, let's jump out the window and hope our

579
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: parachute opens up. And he would make decisions that would

580
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: put them in like financial peril every it seemed like

581
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: every few months. And she said in the beginning, just

582
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: when she said they felt she felt they got their

583
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: footing whatever new project that he had come up with, because.

584
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: He wouldn't tell her, he'd be like surprised, I'm on

585
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: a houseboat. We're in def for three hundred thousand dollars.

586
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: What's you think?

587
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: She said.

588
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: Every few months she would find herself bawling and be

589
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: like Chip, why, and she was like, you know, but

590
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: then they would figure it out, and they would grow

591
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: to the next level.

592
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 3: Figure it out and grow to the next level. And

593
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: she said she realized that Chip was.

594
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: Always going to be Chip, and that she had to

595
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: learn to increase her capacity for challenges, increase her capacity

596
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: for failure. You have to learn to increase your capacity,

597
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: because what will happen is it's very easy to stay safe,

598
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: but if you want to be great, you're going to

599
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: have to accept that this thing.

600
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: Might not work.

601
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: You might fail in spectacular fashion, or it might work

602
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: in a way that you never imagine. You don't get

603
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: to seven then figures and eight figures and maybe even

604
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: nine figures or more one day without expanding you know

605
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: what you're capable of and jumping forward and failing and

606
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: so like, yeah, I just give you that advice that like,

607
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: you know, right now things are really great because they

608
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: ought to be, because you are now reaping what you've

609
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: sown over the last ten years. But now you are

610
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: also simultaneously sowing what you will reap in the next

611
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: ten So just keep that in mind. But I'm super

612
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: excited for you.

Speaker 2: Wow, it feels so good to be back. I am

638
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: a little rusty. But I do recall that we have

639
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: a thing called boost break.

640
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Is that still a thing? Yeah, we still do that

641
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: around here.

642
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: So I have a boost. So I bought a company.

643
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 1: Hello, Yes, so I wanted okay, yes, yes, yes, tell

644
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: me tell us about it.

645
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: So I have an idea for a company, and and

646
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep it light from now. But but it's

647
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: really it's nothing like you know, like crazy. I don't

648
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: have like I'm not curing cancer. But I have an

649
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: idea for like a company that will really help you guys,

650
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: like find the tools and resources you need more easily.

651
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: And so I've been thinking about this for a while.

652
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: And then right before I left, literally the day before

653
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: I left, I saw that somebody was selling their company

654
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: and they had a girl. I didn't even tell you why,

655
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: Remember I told you they had two hundred thousand followers

656
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: on Insta, Girl, why didn't I come back?

657
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: They have two seventy now, yes, so they knew they did.

658
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: They have a huge Instagram. We have five hundred thousand

659
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: a budget lista, but two seventy is huge. And then

660
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: they have Twitter and Instagram and they have they have

661
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: a Facebook group.

662
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: They have all these resources.

663
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: And the gentleman that was selling it's a financial company

664
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: specifically for black millennials. And the guy who was selling it,

665
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: I he posted in my my black marketing group and

666
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, I'm interested in learning more.

667
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 3: And he was like, oh my god, I'm fan boiling boying.

668
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: It's utivity. You're like the perfect person to buy. I

669
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: hope you buy. I hope you buy it.

670
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: So me and Maddy were talking about it with I

671
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: was sharing with her that all the resources the company

672
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: came with, and she was like, girl, my friend bought

673
00:30:59,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: a company.

674
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

675
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: Of course it's the same, but those people wanted like

676
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: a million dollars, and so we did not pay a

677
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: million dollars, not even close.

678
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: I just can't believe we were able to close the deal.

679
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: Literally, right before I left, I told my COO, here's

680
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: the max, Like, you know, I authorized you to negotiate

681
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: with him, and we were able to get it to

682
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: a price where it's like, wait, what it was, Yeah,

683
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: the cost of like a really really really lavish vacation,

684
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: which think about that, that's not much at all. But

685
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: he just was really happy to sell to someone who

686
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: was going to not I'm not going to keep his

687
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: particular company going, but instead we're going to transform it

688
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: to the company that I already had in mind. So

689
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: now we don't have to start from scratch, we can

690
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: start from a higher playing field. So I'm just really

691
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: really excited because something like a vision that has been

692
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: coming to me over and over, Like I had a

693
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: vision for like Get Go of Money came true New

694
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: York Times bestseller is selling really well. I had a

695
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: vision for a one wee budget like ten thirteen years

696
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: ago now ride I wrote it, I said, it said

697
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: to me that, like, You're going to be a millionaire because.

698
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: Of this book. I assumed I'd sell enough books to

699
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: become a millionaire.

700
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: That did not happen, but it sparked a budgetista, Like,

701
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: so all of my visions honestly have come true.

702
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 3: Like I put on my vision board, like you know,

703
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 3: sometimes you just get a feeling.

704
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: And lately, this feeling that's been coming up is that

705
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to sell a company for over fifty million dollars.

706
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? It's like a stubborn doing it, Tiffany.

707
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: But it's like this, like stubborn, like it's happening. I

708
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: need you to get ready, and I'm like what. And

709
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: so it's just been this stubborn vision that I just can't.

710
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: Every day it pops up in my head and so

711
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: I don't believe me. I don't know the first thing

712
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: about how to do. So well, that's not true.

713
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 3: I thought I didn't know the first thing. But I was.

714
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: I take walks every day now, and something popped into

715
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: my head when I was listening to one of my books,

716
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: and it was like, well, the first thing would be

717
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: maybe to find somebody who sold companies.

718
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh yeah, and just ask questions.

719
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: And I'm like, remember, you work for Magnify Money and Nick,

720
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: who's like the coolest, sold Magnifi money to lending.

721
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: Tree, right, yes, I was part of that sale.

722
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: So you know, like, hey, maybe I'll get up Nick

723
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: and say hey, how'd that go? And then I know

724
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: other people who sold companies, and so that's my first

725
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: order of business. So I'm going to share kind of

726
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: like that process with y'allcause I'm literally starting from scratch.

727
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how to sell a company.

728
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: I've never done it before.

729
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 3: I mean, we've brought one.

730
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, So I'm excited about that because I want

731
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: to be in a place and space where I am

732
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: truly working. You know, not that I say I couldn't

733
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: retire now, but I could, but I want to retire

734
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: in a way that like, I'm not just retiring myself mentally, but.

735
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 3: I know, like my kids, kids' kids.

736
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: So I want to work from a space where I'm

737
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: literally saying no to everything except for the things I

738
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: really enjoy because I'm not working, you know, to think

739
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: about money.

740
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: And I don't worry.

741
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: About money anymore, but it's still on my mind and

742
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: I would love to be able to say no. Plus too,

743
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: I want to be able to do a profit share

744
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: with my team because they have put so much work

745
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: to be able to. I mean, I don't know, depending

746
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: how much the company sells for, it might retire some

747
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: folks at the very least pay off some high student

748
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: loan debts and reset your life. So I'm really excited

749
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: about what that kind of money can do for not

750
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: only my family, but for my Unicorn Squad family. I

751
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: want to build a hospital like for my DreamCatcher family,

752
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: for my BA family. I'm really excited about because that's coming.

753
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: It could be in ten, fifteen years, it could be

754
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: in five months, it could be in five years. I

755
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 2: don't know, but I do know that that's coming. So

756
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm excited about that.

757
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you've just given like the I don't know,

758
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: commencement address that we all needed for the summer, for

761
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: I can't wait to well. I mean, I don't want

762
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: to ever go to your hospital because I don't want

763
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: to be sick, but I would love to talk about

764
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: your hospital in the future. And I mean, the bigger

765
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,640

00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: you can dream up. And no, I don't think fifty

00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: million poles fifty billion, that would be a stretchful for you.

769
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:08,759

773
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: So let's take it down a notch. Have you heard

774
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: about Wendy Williams going off on this woman. I don't

775
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: even think she knows this. This actress named Tabitha Brown,

776
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: who I don't know if she shared a video on

777
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: social media or wrote an article, but she was celebrating

778
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: the fact that she has now become so successful that

779
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: she has been able to retire her husband Chance from

780
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: his job as a Los Angeles police officer. And Wendy Williams,

781
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: who she is. I mean, Wendy Williams is like a

782
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: character unto herself. I'm not going to pretend that I

783
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: watch her show every day because.

784
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 3: She's a professional troll.

785
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 1: She's she's special, Okay. And she went on her show

786
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: and went off about Tabitha and basically projected the failure

787
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: of her own marriage. You know, she had like a

788
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: very public divorce, basically saying that this is the worst

789
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: thing that Tabitha could have done, that it's going to

790
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: ruin her relationship, and that it would end up just

791
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: going down in flames, and I cringe so hard because,

792
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: for one thing, it's nothing to be ashamed of for

793
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: a man to leave his job and to be quote

794
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: unquote retired by a wife. I think that should be celebrated.

795
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: And it's also like, why would you you don't know

796
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: anything about this woman, Why would you project your own

797
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: failure onto her when ultimately it's up to ours, It's

798
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: up to us, you know how our relationships work out,

799
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: and you never know what's going on in anybody's marriage.

800
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely beautiful that in order to it's

801
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: not even about repaying him for what he gave her,

802
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: but if you actually listen to the story, you know

803
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: clearly he supported her in her career for a long

804
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: long like years, many years, maybe even decades of time together,

805
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: and he has his own passions to pursue. And she

806
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: was saying, listen, we are good. You can let you

807
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: can let go of this job that you've kept for security,

808
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: for the security of this family, and you were able

809
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: to pursue your passions in career. I'm like, what could

810
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: be what's more beautiful than that in our partnership?

811
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: What Because you know, Wendy is so so like I

812
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: for the six weeks, I wasn't on social but I

813
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: think my friend told me about it, so like I

814
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: googled it and I saw, like, you know, Wendy saying

815
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: what she said and so back because you know, I

816
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: love teeth. So background on Wendy's marriage. She her husband Kevin,

817
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: has been trashed for a long time. Like I remember

818
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: when Wendy was like for those you especially on the

819
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: East Coast, child, Wendy was like we all listened to

820
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: Wendy on the radio show on radio, she was captivating

821
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 2: and her husband was trashed.

822
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: Then she had written this book called Wendy's.

823
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 2: Got the Heat where her son, who is now twenty,

824
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: her husband cheated on her while she was pregnant, even

825
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 2: though they had a hard time getting pregnant. So he's

826
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: been trashed and you know, just not a really nice

827
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: guy and there's been allegations of physical abuse and things.

828
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: And so just a few years ago, I don't know

829
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: who Wendy pissed off at the Daily Mail because I

830
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 2: thought the Daily Mail was out of like the UK,

831
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: But they did a one year long expose that they

832
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 2: had been study they had been following Wendy's husband he

833
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: had a whole other woman that he brought a house

834
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: for like three like in the same neighborhood as his

835
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 2: house with Wendy car for and they had a child.

836
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 2: Literally he was but basically married to two women. And

837
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: so when the xpose came out, that's why Wendy ended.

838
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: Up divorcing him. I don't believe she really wanted to.

839
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: But when the whole world knew like what he also

840
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 2: has like a whole nother wife what, it was really

841
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: embarrassing for her. And she actually because Wendy used to

842
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: well I don't know, she's still she was an addict,

843
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 2: and so she actually ended up being hospitalized. She she

844
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: took it really hard, so to be kind in that respect,

845
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know you know Wendy or like

846
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: what she's going through, but I guess she attributes what

847
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: happened to her marriage because she, you know, was the

848
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 2: main breadwinner in you know, her family.

849
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 3: But from when I understand he did actually manage her.

850
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: But I don't know, but Tad did what they call

851
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: a sanctified read a read honey, but let me tell

852
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: you something, don't.

853
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: Be fooled by ms.

854
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 2: Tad was like, let me gather you together real quick

855
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: under the name of Jesus.

856
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: Okay, she read Wendy for filth. She said, Wendy, I

857
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 3: know you so hurt. Girl. I pray that you have

858
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 3: a marriage, that somebody loves you enough.

859
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 2: Basically, she was basically saying, girl, don't be mad because

860
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: he don't want you. But she ain't say it like that,

861
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: but it was like, honestly, it was really beautiful. But

862
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: it was definitely a sanctified read. And Tad explained, which

863
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: she didn't have to. But you know, I'm glad that,

864
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: you know, for the larger audience, and you know, people

865
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 2: get a better understanding.

866
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 3: She said.

867
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: When they first I don't know where they're from. She's

868
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: from down south somewhere. But when they first moved to

869
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. She's always wanted to be an actress. And

870
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: she told her husband, if you allow me, I just

871
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: give me five years. I want to quit my job

872
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 2: and just do try this acting. Think please, five years

873
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: maybe that's all I need. If it doesn't work out,

874
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: I'll get a job and we just you know, we

875
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: just both working. He said, okay, girl. Fifteen years later,

876
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: this man she had not found anything, but she was.

877
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 2: He held up that agreement. I will take care of

878
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 2: the family. You try your dream, She said, what would

879
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: I look like after fifteen years? He held, you know,

880
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: there were things he wanted to do and couldn't. He

881
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: put his life on the line as as a Los

882
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: Angeles police officer for fifteen years so she could pursue

883
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 2: her dreams and it finally worked. Of course, she was like, babe,

884
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: I don't want you to put your life on the

885
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: line anymore. Every day could be the day he doesn't

886
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: come back. And she said that, so I thought it

887
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: was absolutely beautiful. He already coaches kids, apparently, and he

888
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: has a nonprofit that he hasn't been able to dedicate

889
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: as much time too, and now he can do that

890
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 2: and coach even more kids. He seems like an amazing man.

891
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: Ivy.

892
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: They've been married for like twenty three years, so you know,

893
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 2: she's like, girl, we have been through. She's like, me

894
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 2: and my husband have together and we was broke, broke, broke,

895
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: she said, we've been broke longer than we've had money.

896
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 2: We only had money in the last year or so.

897
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: So we good, Wendy, don't worry about us. And so

898
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: I just want to give some backstory.

899
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for that. I thought I was breaking

900
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: news for you coming at I'm like, I'm gonna tell

901
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: Tiffany what's been happening on these year internets since she's

902
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: been gone. Meanwhile, you told me more than I anyway,

903
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: Just stop showing me up. I gotta bring my hay

904
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: game anyway. No, but let me just like this is

905
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: this is what Tiffany and I. Maybe you agree, but

906
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: my marriage would not work if there were two Mandy's.

907
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: It would go down in flames. I'm talking about it.

908
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: Off the rails. I am Chip. When you talked about

909
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: Chip and Joanna, I am Chip. Okay, I am like, uh,

910
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna quit this really well paying job and I'm

911
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna ask this company to pay me twice as much

912
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: salary plus a sign on bonus. I'm just gonna go

913
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: for Okay. Could be cool with that, babe, Okay? Sure?

914
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: Like he's My husband has always been very stable, very steady.

915
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, he works for the government, he has his pension.

916
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's just he's got the healthcare. I couldn't

917
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: do what I'm doing now. He has given me the freedom,

918
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: he's given me trust, and he's given me the space

919
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: that I need to just figure my shit out. And

920
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: he is providing healthcare, and I don't want to be

921
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to even try to pretend like I

922
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: am paying for health care right now. We are very

923
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: fortunate to have his healthcare in this country right now.

924
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: In the US, it is hard to start a business

925
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: and go out on your own unless you have a

926
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: partner you can provide health care. So let's not get

929
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,719

00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: old bab. I'm like, are you serious, sir? You know

931
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: we do IVF right, We have probably spent at minimum

932
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars is what would have cost us

933
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: to do as many rounds of IVF.

934
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 3: If I've done, I have paid ten dollars of copay.

935
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: That's it.

936
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 2: Ten dollars. And I'm just like, yo, his you know, like, well,

937
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: because my husband still works with what he brings to

938
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: the table, Like it's just the stability, the safe place,

939
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: the land, you know, the but like and the healthcare shoe.

940
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: Like I'm not gonna lie. Until we got married, it

941
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: was yoga and water and I was like, please, Lord,

942
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 2: don't let me get sick for real, for real, I mean, so,

943
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I commend anybody who's going out there doing

944
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, who's entrepreneur on their own. I know, the

945
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: first probably six or seven years of my entrepreneur journey

946
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: was without without insurance.

947
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: And it's scary, you.

948
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: Know, and so absolutely you know, so yeah, I just so,

949
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: I just say all that to say that my husband

950
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,479
Speaker 2: and I told them when we were getting together. I said,

951
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 2: let's make a rule that we we follow our own rules,

952
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: like if you know, like if you want to cook.

953
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 3: And I don't, that's our rule.

954
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 2: The outside world doesn't get to say no sisters, no brothers,

955
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 2: no moms, no dads.

956
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have to share with them.

957
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, you know, secretly, this is how we

958
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: do things because if it works for us, let it

959
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 2: work for us, because people will have you feel bad

960
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 2: because I used to travel a lot, and when we

961
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 2: got married, his friends while you're still letting your wife travel.

962
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: I was like, what, I we were traveling when I

963
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: when we were dating, and so he was like, I

964
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 3: don't know if I feel comfortable. I'm like, babe, we

965
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 3: dated for you know, like three years and I traveled

966
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 3: way more. Don't let those people get in your head, Okay,

967
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 3: because guess what, I'm still getting on the plane. So yeah, exactly,

968
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: so you know.

969
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you have a relationship, whatever works for you,

970
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: it's what works for you.

971
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 3: There is no there's no society norms that you have

972
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: to adhere to.

973
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 2: You. You really get to decide what your relationship looks like,

974
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: and it's best to keep most things to yourself. Like

975
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: if you notice, I don't post Superman like like I

976
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: used to, Like I used to do this whole thing

977
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: about Superman and Supergirl, and you no, I don't do

978
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 2: that as much anymore, just because I never got any

979
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: negative feedback. But as I get you know, as I

980
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: get older, I just realized I just want, you know,

981
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: some things for us us, and I also too don't

982
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: want to because social media can be toxic. I think

983
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 2: we all know that, and s Week's all social media.

984
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: I didn't realize just how toxic it could be when

985
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 2: I started to just feel better, Like social media will

986
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: literally have you feeling bad about a good life, and

987
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, let me not throw like my relationship into

988
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: the stinky stew of social media.

989
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just lived that for yourselves. I completely agree.

990
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: So shout out to Tab I'm recalling I I can

991
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: call her Tab too. Shout out to Tab at the

992
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: Brown for reading. Wendy Williams. Wendy Williams, please sit down,

993
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, work on whatever you know. I agree you

994
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: feel pain if you're protecting that onto someone else's marriage.

995
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: But we only know the story that we are writing ourselves.

996
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: We cannot expect anyone else to understand it. So I mean,

997
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: I could meant anyone for sharing. And we do a

998
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: lot in our show. We share a lot about ourselves,

999
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: and that does that does open us up to critique

1000
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: and to questioning, and that's the choice that we've made.

1001
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: But I will say emphatically, I could not be the

1002
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: success that I am financially, career wise, anything. And who

1003
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: knows where I'll be without my husband and his job,

1004
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the stability, and his faith

1005
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: in me and his support and his little shrug and

1006
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: a sigh like Okay, I guess we're doing this now,

1007
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: you know. That's that's all I need. A shrug and

1008
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,920
