Speaker 2: County so it's a big. County And trump used his presidential, pardon,
Speaker 2: which if you, recall is typically used you know at
Speaker 2: the end to pardon criminals who have done time in,
Speaker 2: jail have admitted their, crimes have said they're, sorry like
Speaker 2: have proven that they're. Remorseful. This the sheriff was just
Speaker 2: convicted earlier this year and was due to be sentenced
Speaker 2: or sorry the TRIAL i think The, yeah it was
Speaker 2: due to be sentenced In. October SO i hadn't even
Speaker 2: spent any time in jail yet OR i don't know
Speaker 2: how much time he spent in, jail but not very.
Speaker 2: Long and he's pardoned, him and AND i Just i'll
Speaker 2: do my best to like do a quick recap BECAUSE
Speaker 2: i just listened to this on The The New York
Speaker 2: times Podcast The. Daily if you don't if you need
Speaker 2: like a quick twelve minute fifteen minute recap of the,
Speaker 2: news it's a good, podcast listen to. Plug but they
Speaker 2: had said that basically what he did is he was
Speaker 2: found guilty of defying a court. Order so basically he
Speaker 2: created these tense cities in his in his, county tense
Speaker 2: cities where he would put immigrants who were found to
Speaker 2: be in the area, illegally and they would wear like
Speaker 2: striped jumpsuits and they, wow they'd be in chain, gangs
Speaker 2: women and men like actually tied like chained together on
Speaker 2: the side of the, road cleaning, highways which he said
Speaker 2: helped to defer to to deter crime because, Quote johnny's
Speaker 2: in the back seat and his mom and dad can
Speaker 2: tell him that it's bad or that's what happens to
Speaker 2: bad people Who and he put them in these tents In,
Speaker 2: arizona mind, You arizona in the summer it gets like
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty degayes or. Hotter and they were
Speaker 2: in these, tents women. Men he forced the men to
Speaker 2: wear pink. Underwear what just to further de humanize, them
Speaker 2: he made them Watch Food network ON tv and The Weather.
Speaker 2: Channel those are only two things allowed while feeding them vegetarian.
Speaker 2: Slop and obviously they were one hundred and thirty degree.
Speaker 2: Heat and he was quoted like they had a recording
Speaker 2: of him talking about how, WELL i hope when they
Speaker 2: Watched Weather channel and they see it's cold In canada
Speaker 2: that they might decide to go To canada next.
Speaker 1: Time slavery like concentration camps on The United states.
Speaker 2: Soil, Again, well that's funny you mentioned that because the
Speaker 2: tents they were in were Recommissioned Korean War wow TENTS
Speaker 2: i think were used for prisoners of war or something like. That, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah bring it all the way. Back but he was
Speaker 2: in Little trumpito's pocket because he was one of the
Speaker 2: first public figures to come Support trump the candidate over
Speaker 2: a year ago during the, election and so of course
Speaker 2: he came to the. Rescue but basically with, this the
Speaker 2: sheriff was found to be in. Violation basically a, COURT
Speaker 2: i think a court in his area ruled that he
Speaker 2: couldn't Target latinos with his immigration, policies and he defied
Speaker 2: that court, order and somehow they were ruled that what
Speaker 2: he was doing was unconstitutional and that's why he was.
Speaker 2: Convicted that's why he's going to or was going to
Speaker 2: be sentenced to. Whatever and so by using his presidential
Speaker 2: pardon to pardon the, sheriff it's sort of like legalquts are, saying,
Speaker 2: well it seems like What trump is doing with his
Speaker 2: constitutional power is affirming the denial of some of constitutional
Speaker 2: rights by a person in place of, power which sounds
Speaker 2: just about right for given who he. Is but, uh
Speaker 2: that's your headline of the.
Speaker 1: Day SO i wonder for all the folks that voted for,
Speaker 1: him are they like so or are they LIKE i,
Speaker 1: MEAN i know there's some hardcore people who are, LIKE
Speaker 1: i don't care what he. Does it's. FINE, ok this.
Speaker 2: IS i, mean this whole immigration stance like. HIS i
Speaker 2: know why HE'S i, mean it's clear that he's doing.
Speaker 2: This it not only does he get to help a friend,
Speaker 2: out but he's also pandering to his. Base they love.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 2: Yeah the, policies, yeah the policies that were ruled unconstitutional
Speaker 2: or the actions deemed unconstitutional by the sheriff are. Too
Speaker 2: we're all put in, place he, said to thwart illegal.
Speaker 2: Immigration but of course the tense cities and the making
Speaker 2: them eat shitty food and chainings showed no signs of
Speaker 2: impacting recidivism, rates which is the rate of people returning
Speaker 2: to prison or jail after they've been. Released like it
Speaker 2: had no impact on that at.
Speaker 1: All of course that's not what it's.
Speaker 2: About, well so he, Said, SO.
Speaker 1: I don't. Know i'm not gonna. LIE i really am
Speaker 1: like LIKE i poked my head out And i'm, like Oh,
Speaker 1: god the. News and Then i'm LIKE i can't do.
Speaker 1: IT i can't do. IT i poke my head out,
Speaker 1: again And i'm, like what is? HAPPENING i feel like
Speaker 1: people are just like you, know LIKE i feel like
Speaker 1: literally this president could like you, know be seen like
Speaker 1: slapping his wife in public and people would be, like,
Speaker 1: oh she had a fly on her. Face you guys are.
Speaker 1: Wilent he already.
Speaker 2: Did remember when those legal documents came off from his divorce,
Speaker 2: hearing when like his wife had accused him of raping. Her,
Speaker 2: yeah and, Nuts yeah WHAT i.
Speaker 1: Didn't, NO i did. Not oh my, god can you
Speaker 1: imagine If President obama? Had? Oh? RIGHT i just can't.
Speaker 2: Even, YEAH i Mean trump's been accused of sexual, assault,
Speaker 2: harassment all kinds of. STUFF i, mean he said he
Speaker 2: grabs someone's you, know, Vagina like it's not.
Speaker 1: Whether they like it or, not because they have to
Speaker 1: let you do it because you're. Famous he's made it very.
Speaker 2: Clear that he said, self he can go out And
Speaker 2: Fifth avenue and shoot somebody and they Wouldn't they still
Speaker 2: vote for, Him and he's. Right it's. Sad, sad it, Is,
Speaker 2: yeah this Is it's not at this point in my,
Speaker 2: mind it's less about convincing people who voted for him
Speaker 2: that they made the wrong choice and just more about you,
Speaker 2: know what can we do TO i feel like we're
Speaker 2: never going to have the next election is going to be.
Speaker 2: LIT i feel like everyone like we're not going to
Speaker 2: let this. Out BUT i wish it didn't have to
Speaker 2: get this way for us to for the, people BECAUSE
Speaker 2: i feel like people will get complacent and they're, like,
Speaker 2: oh you know, Whatever trump's not going to, win obviously It's.
Speaker 2: Hillary i'll just stay. HOME i wish it didn't. Happen
Speaker 2: BUT i you, know this kind of stuff is. CYCLICAL
Speaker 2: i feel, like.
Speaker 1: YEAH i know you're right, though something goes really like
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why we Had President Barack
Speaker 1: obama because the president before people were, like oh hell, no,
Speaker 1: yep and they came out in full. Force and then you,
Speaker 1: know people got complacent with with For President obama and
Speaker 1: then now here we. Are. Yeah but you, know it's
Speaker 1: been kind of funny about some forty five. Supporters they've
Speaker 1: been taking those you know how right now what's really
Speaker 1: lit is the THE dna.
Speaker 2: Tests oh, yeah like trying To, yeah Like caucasian people
Speaker 2: finding out that they got some some Uh africa some
Speaker 2: extra spices in.
Speaker 1: There, yeah and, like, honestly what's so. Crazy it's, like you,
Speaker 1: know so they're taking these sounds reading in an ARTICLE
Speaker 1: i forget what platform it was maybe a week or so,
Speaker 1: ago and finding out that like what a fourteen percent
Speaker 1: Of Sharan african and then then being like, whatever it
Speaker 1: doesn't even. Matter it's not about what it says, there
Speaker 1: it's about if you look. White i'm, like, yes it's
Speaker 1: not really how that, works. Dude AND i was just like,
Speaker 1: really just like, wow so you have proven well that
Speaker 1: you're in your history read there Is african. Blood and
Speaker 1: still that's how you. Said it's not about convincing folks
Speaker 1: that forty five is so bad or whatever that it's.
Speaker 1: Not he literally could kill someone and it would not
Speaker 1: matter to certain. People so you have to leave those
Speaker 1: people for dead and move.
Speaker 2: Forward just wait for them till thet die. OUT i, guess,
Speaker 2: yeah like a.
Speaker 1: Disease but so the problem IS i used to, say, like,

Speaker 1: else it was big crocodile. Tires If i'm not this angry.
Speaker 1: Person meanwhile in the video your face is.
Speaker 2: Yeah that. GUY i, Mean i'll say it again like
Speaker 2: it's a small, pocket but they, have they've gotten the
Speaker 2: platform that they've been waiting. For and, yeah because.
Speaker 1: It's start pocket with the president as your.
Speaker 2: Leader, yeah it's a very but that's all it, takes you,
Speaker 2: know it's all it. Takes it's just the The and
Speaker 2: as a member of the, media it's REALLY i MEAN
Speaker 2: i don't cover, politics, obviously but to the vitriol that
Speaker 2: he reserves for the media and the way that he
Speaker 2: talks about the, media forget me being a journalist for a,
Speaker 2: second being completely, biased but, like this is exactly what dictators.
Speaker 2: Do they convince you that what the media is telling
Speaker 2: you was a. LIE i, mean look At, china like
Speaker 2: so much is blocked from people there because the government
Speaker 2: wants to control the perception and control what they. See
Speaker 2: and it's just it's, just you know. It that's WHAT
Speaker 2: i keep kind of going back, to is how In, america?

Speaker 1: Our facebook group and it's really. Awesome it's like if
Speaker 1: we just crossed over to two hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: whole women and a couple of, men and as a,
Speaker 1: result it's you, know it's it's not easy navigating and
Speaker 1: managing a group of that size because you always have different.
Speaker 1: Personalities AND i will say ninety nine, percent maybe ninety
Speaker 1: eight percent it's all. Positive but every once in a
Speaker 1: while you get folks who you, know want to be super,
Speaker 1: sassy AND i don't know WHY i take it so.
Speaker 1: PERSONALLY i GUESS i have four, sisters AND i just feel,
Speaker 1: like come, on, now that's not how you treat your,
Speaker 1: sisters like when we're all trying to do, better like you,
Speaker 1: know being disparaging in the comments or making fun of.
Speaker 1: People SO i take that really, seriously and, Honestly i'm
Speaker 1: not gonna. LIE i kind of take a sick little
Speaker 1: pleasure of booting folks who are mean Because i'm, like,
Speaker 1: yes And hank can't come back here. AGAIN i don't,
Speaker 1: KNOW i feel LIKE i just bullying just seems so
Speaker 1: crazy when you're, grown you, KNOW.
Speaker 2: I don't think, This, yeah it seems, insane AND i
Speaker 2: THINK i think part of it the reason you get
Speaker 2: so like hurt by it is because you could probably
Speaker 2: never imagine yourself doing, that.
Speaker 1: Yes And i'm, LIKE i Just i'm not going to say.
Speaker 1: That like you know how you read something and you're,
Speaker 1: like oh my, gosh this is, crazy this is foolish or.
Speaker 1: Whatever but to actually type out to someone that you
Speaker 1: don't know to say you're so, stupid you're a da da,
Speaker 1: da you're a liar or. WHATEVER i JUST i just
Speaker 1: literally cannot imagine like doing, that just because it's LIKE
Speaker 1: i don't know. HER i might be, like, what this
Speaker 1: is crazy if that was a, mistake BUT i just
Speaker 1: can't imagine like chastising a grown woman WHO i don't, know,
Speaker 1: like especially in like an environment where you, know, hey
Speaker 1: this is where we help. Folks and SO i just,
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't know what that mindset feels. Like AND
Speaker 1: i know that sometimes hurt people hurt, people but, HONESTLY
Speaker 1: i don't. Care it's one of those things where it's, like,
Speaker 1: well if it's you or, them it's gotta be. You you
Speaker 1: gotta go because it's a. POISON i really feel like
Speaker 1: negativity is a, poison and once you allow it, in
Speaker 1: it continues to seep and grow like. Cancer and if
Speaker 1: you don't cut it. Out so we're real. STRICT i
Speaker 1: was just having a talk with the team. TODAY i
Speaker 1: said zero tolerance. Policy they're, like, well what about, no, no,
Speaker 1: no zero. Time because WHAT i found is THAT i
Speaker 1: started doing a little digging WHERE i would research someone's
Speaker 1: name that was being mean in a comment, here and
Speaker 1: THEN i would look because you can do A facebook
Speaker 1: a search in Your facebook, groups AND i would look
Speaker 1: and see that this was a. Pattern so we. DON'T
Speaker 1: i just can't allow somebody to do. That, like if
Speaker 1: you do it, once you'll going to do it. Again
Speaker 1: you have to. Go we're just too big now to
Speaker 1: allow that to. Be and everyone knows the. Rule we
Speaker 1: post the rules, literally it's on automate at least three
Speaker 1: or four times a. Day we post the rules as
Speaker 1: soon as you come. In, Now facebook is really. Cool
Speaker 1: you have This facebook group like survey thing that when
Speaker 1: you click join the, group it has these three. Questions
Speaker 1: do you promise to be? Positive do you promise not to?
Speaker 1: Sell do you promise DA D and so you're like, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Yes and then as soon as you come, in so you're,
Speaker 1: like there's no excuse to SAY i didn't, know because,
Speaker 1: well first of, all don't should have to tell. You
Speaker 1: it's like SAYING i didn't KNOW i could slap, Her like,
Speaker 1: girl you know you can't do. That so, yeah SO
Speaker 1: i had to like go live and in rare, form
Speaker 1: and BECAUSE i was already exhausted AND i just didn't
Speaker 1: feel like being my peppy, self and SO i really
Speaker 1: had to snatch the measures and be, like what we're
Speaker 1: not gonna do Is and SO i, MEAN i guess that's.
Speaker 1: Something you, know it's so. Crazy did you know the
Speaker 1: happy black? Woman, nope you never have the happy black?
Speaker 1: Woman like the she's got a huge. Following her name is,
Speaker 1: OH i forget her, name but a huge. Following like
Speaker 1: she was one of the original kind of LIKE i don't,
Speaker 1: know like just folks who were like really speaking to black.
Speaker 1: Women and so she has a huge youtooe. Following she
Speaker 1: just closed her free, group And i'm seeing it's becoming
Speaker 1: a trend with like some of these really large movements
Speaker 1: and brands they're closing their free. Groups AND i found
Speaker 1: out later after doing a little digging that she was
Speaker 1: just like it just got to be like babysitting AND
Speaker 1: i might as well focus on people who were paying
Speaker 1: and that's heartbreaking because a lot of people are needing
Speaker 1: help and it's like a few handful of negative nancies
Speaker 1: are taking away opportunities for people who are really trying
Speaker 1: to do and be. Better And i'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: hold out as long as i, can But i'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: Lie there some days Where i'm, Like i'm shutting this,
Speaker 1: down but then i think of like how many women
Speaker 1: hit me up and they're Like, Tiffany, HONESTLY i didn't
Speaker 1: even know where to, start like you, know you, know SO.
Speaker 2: I see so many like usually WHEN i get The
Speaker 2: liverat or the Dream catchers updates on my, feed like
Speaker 2: they're usually really, positive and, LIKE i, MEAN i hope
Speaker 2: you don't shut it down because it seems like people
Speaker 2: it's like The, reddit but for black women of color
Speaker 2: or black women of color women of color Where, REDDIT
Speaker 2: i feel, like because you know that you can go
Speaker 2: On reddit and do their personal Finance, subreddit which is
Speaker 2: actually has a lot of great, advice AND i find
Speaker 2: people are there are really generally, respectful but they also
Speaker 2: have like millions of admins constantly. Policing but you, KNOW
Speaker 2: i feel there's a value in having like peers to
Speaker 2: bounce ideas off of and like celebrate your. Wins AND i,
Speaker 2: MEAN i hope you don't shut it. Down that would be,
Speaker 2: sad but it's The. Internet like at the same, Time
Speaker 2: i'm also, like you're never going to get them.
Speaker 1: All, yeah AND i know, that AND i GUESS i
Speaker 1: said that said that you know what to, ME i
Speaker 1: think it's JUST i need to like maybe hire some
Speaker 1: more admins or get some more like volunteer, admins because
Speaker 1: YOU'RE i don't want to shut it down BECAUSE i
Speaker 1: see how much it. HELPS i can just imagine WHEN
Speaker 1: i was teaching preschool and or WHEN i lost my
Speaker 1: job AND i was. STRUGGLING i WISH i could have
Speaker 1: had a place to be, like oh my, GOSH i
Speaker 1: don't know what to do, because LIKE i, said not
Speaker 1: even if sent of women are so. Helpful LIKE i
Speaker 1: love WHEN i see a woman post Like i'm a

Speaker 1: about back to school and all these other single moms
Speaker 1: kind of like get together and they're, like, girl so
Speaker 1: this is WHERE i went shopping and this is WHAT i,
Speaker 1: did and this is what you can. Use, honestly it's
Speaker 1: just SO i don't plan on shutting it down anytime,
Speaker 1: soon BUT i, just you, know the frustration is.
Speaker 2: REAL i want to watch would you say they're all
Speaker 2: on a?
Speaker 1: WATCH i, know LIKE i just turn off the ability to.

Speaker 2: i'm GLAD i read her second email because she, said
Speaker 2: don't don't name my. Name oh, yeah so here's a
Speaker 2: good career. Question so she this is this anonymous. Podcaster
Speaker 2: we'll call Her. Jana, yeah we'll go With. Diana. Okay
Speaker 2: So i'm a big fan of the. PODCAST i will
Speaker 2: be turning twenty five in just ten, days And i'm
Speaker 2: reflecting quite a bit on WHERE i am in. Life oh,
Speaker 2: god twenty.
Speaker 1: FIVE i remember those when you just be, like, oh
Speaker 1: my live. Meal you're, like, Oh i've got literally the
Speaker 1: whole life to. Live go, ahead ask, Me.
Speaker 2: Okay i'm writing this on A, sunday AND i received
Speaker 2: a job offer On friday for a local nonprofit dedicated
Speaker 2: to mentoring at risk youth in local high. Schools i'm
Speaker 2: excited for the, job BUT i do have some feelings
Speaker 2: about WHERE i am currently in terms of. STATUS i
Speaker 2: would be taking a pay cup for this position about
Speaker 2: five thousand. Dollars my previous POSITION i left abruptly after
Speaker 2: trying to stick it. Through the job in the field
Speaker 2: was an experiment of sorts and just wasn't a right.
Speaker 2: FIT i Know i'm on the right track, now BUT
Speaker 2: i can't shake the feeling Like i'm excuse, me Like
Speaker 2: i'm regressing by starting an entry level position at only
Speaker 2: twenty five years old WHEN i graduated in twenty fourteen
Speaker 2: and have been through one entry level position already in
Speaker 2: addition to. TEACHING i feel LIKE i wasted the past
Speaker 2: three years AND i should have been mid level by.
Speaker 2: Now so, GENERALLY i thinking her question is this a
Speaker 2: step backward or SHOULD i just take the job and be?
Speaker 2: Happy good, question excellent. Question, actually yes it.
Speaker 1: IS i you, know it's so funny Because i'm, like,
Speaker 1: ooh twenty, FIVE i remember being so serious about. MYSELF
Speaker 1: i think like a twenty five bought a house BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i was, Like i'm an, ADULT i really need a.
Speaker 1: HOME i need a, home and to, me five thousand,
Speaker 1: dollars especially at twenty, five it's not super. SIGNIFICANT i
Speaker 1: think at twenty five That i'd like to see you
Speaker 1: just really focus on strategically taking positions that are going
Speaker 1: to get you to the ultimate, goals like regardless of
Speaker 1: what the income, is because the income not to say
Speaker 1: regardless of what the income, is but BECAUSE i do know,
Speaker 1: that like you, know taking less now means that you
Speaker 1: might have less. Later but being really strategic about the
Speaker 1: skill sets that you're. Collecting AND i don't, know nonprofit
Speaker 1: work is hard because it's not like Corporate america where
Speaker 1: it's like, ooh you made, less oh, girl because, nonprofit
Speaker 1: that's that's not that's, typical, honestly because they just don't
Speaker 1: have the, funds you know.
Speaker 2: What so you, WELL i was just going to read
Speaker 2: the extra. Detail she said she was going from forty
Speaker 2: thousand a year to thirty five thousand a. Year well, one,
Speaker 2: YEAH i, Mean i'll tell you a. Story SO i
Speaker 2: was just at this baby shower AND i was talking
Speaker 2: to a good friend and in MY i was, like
Speaker 2: you got five. Minutes i'm just. Kidding, no she was
Speaker 2: updating me on where she's at in her, life and
Speaker 2: she she threw me a blind like a curve, ball
Speaker 2: Because i've known her to work at this great nonprofit
Speaker 2: with Full Bright scholars full as part of the Full
Speaker 2: Bright scholar whatever fund or organization that manages that whole.
Speaker 2: Thing and she's, like, OH I i'm actually starting school
Speaker 2: in a week And i'm going to go. Back i'm
Speaker 2: to get my pre recks And i'm going to go
Speaker 2: to nursing. School AND i was, like, what she has her,
Speaker 2: master she has her. Undergrad she's been working here for several,
Speaker 2: years she's, established she's doing, great and she's pivoting in
Speaker 2: like a, major, major major way AND i was, LIKE
Speaker 2: i think that takes such, guts and she's. Not she's
Speaker 2: the second PERSON i know who's done something similar to.
Speaker 2: That another good friend of mine who's actually was the
Speaker 2: she it was her baby. Shower she worked for The
Speaker 2: Food bank Of New York city FOR i don't know
Speaker 2: a few years and had gone to this undergrad and
Speaker 2: all that kind of, stuff and then pivoted Quit and
Speaker 2: now she's a nurse and she's loving her. Career AND
Speaker 2: i feel like these both of them were in their
Speaker 2: mid twenties when they made this, decision AND i or
Speaker 2: mid twenties and, this AND i think the ONE i
Speaker 2: talked to you, YESTERDAY i think she's twenty nine or
Speaker 2: thirty or something like. That it's never too. Late AND
Speaker 2: i also feel, like if you're going to do, it
Speaker 2: you might as well do it. Now and if pivoting
Speaker 2: and going a little bit under what you were making
Speaker 2: before in the grand scheme of, things five thousand, dollars
Speaker 2: when you spread it out, over, however twenty four paychecks
Speaker 2: over a, year it's not like gonna shatter your. WORLD
Speaker 2: i don't think you take that pay. CUT i understand
Speaker 2: how it can feel LIKE i took a step back
Speaker 2: WHEN I i lost my job at my first magazine
Speaker 2: job At New York, city AND i went from earning
Speaker 2: forty five thousand to thirty five, thousand like that ten
Speaker 2: thousand dollars pay. Cut but IF i hadn't, PIVOTED i
Speaker 2: never would have been WHERE i am. Now AND i
Speaker 2: don't regret it for a. Minute you. KNOW i had
Speaker 2: to do WHAT i had to, do AND i made
Speaker 2: it work for. Me AND i think that you can
Speaker 2: make it work for you, too and just, DON'T i,
Speaker 2: mean be a little bit easier on. YOURSELF i guess
Speaker 2: you tried, something it didn't work, out at least you.
Speaker 1: Left, yeah, yeah, Yeah and it's good to, like to,
Speaker 1: me your twenties are really about, like, well really every
Speaker 1: age is really about to go for, it you, know
Speaker 1: but especially in your, twenties because the fall is not so.
Speaker 1: FAR i WISH i would have known that WHEN i
Speaker 1: was in my, twenties, because like, YOU i was kind of, like, oh,
Speaker 1: WELL i did go for it as far as become
Speaker 1: a school, teacher even though that doesn't seem like such
Speaker 1: a big leap for, me it was huge Because i'd
Speaker 1: gone to school for business and like what a AND.
Speaker 1: I you know, WHAT i did take a huge pay
Speaker 1: cut BECAUSE i got right out of. COLLEGE i got
Speaker 1: offered a job for fifty thousand dollars a year and my,
Speaker 1: internship AND i hated the. Internship you. Know the, money of,
Speaker 1: course was like WHAT i could have moved, OUT i
Speaker 1: could have bought a. Car and THEN i had the
Speaker 1: choice to work at a day care, center and, honestly
Speaker 1: they were paying, ME i think like twelve or fourteen
Speaker 1: thousan an, hour which was like nothing the fifty, thousand
Speaker 1: AND i took that, job the daycare shunner, job BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i KNEW i wanted to, shift AND i my fear
Speaker 1: was IF i took the fifty, THOUSAND i would be
Speaker 1: stuck on that path toward, yes more, money but also
Speaker 1: LIKE i didn't want to do, that and SO i
Speaker 1: ended up taking that twelve or fourteen fourteen dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: job and that led to a job offer which was,
Speaker 1: LIKE i think thirty two, thousand and then a competing
Speaker 1: childcare center offered me thirty nine, Thousand so instead of
Speaker 1: making fifty, YEAR i was making thirty nine within a
Speaker 1: few months after. Graduating but it was the best THING
Speaker 1: i could have done because working in WHAT i wanted
Speaker 1: to work, in which was being a. Teacher it set
Speaker 1: me up for What i'm doing, now which is ultimately
Speaker 1: teaching and everything THAT i know about teaching as a.
Speaker 1: BUDGET i learned at that daycare center every single, thing you.
Speaker 1: KNOW i learned how to be, engaging how to actually
Speaker 1: take someone from a place of no knowledge to, knowledge
Speaker 1: how to explain things, thoroughly how you, know like every single.
Speaker 1: THING i even learned how to run a business honestly
Speaker 1: at the daycare center BECAUSE i Was it was only
Speaker 1: like a two classroom, center SO i was like the
Speaker 1: like THE ceo of the, center BECAUSE i was like
Speaker 1: the lead. Teacher SO i was ordering, SUPPLIES i was managing.
Speaker 1: Staff we had like two other people who work, there
Speaker 1: and SO i was managing like you know, What, hey
Speaker 1: something's wrong with the. Toilet you, know somebody go find
Speaker 1: a maintenance. Man so BECAUSE i chose experience over income
Speaker 1: in the, beginning it allowed me to learn and then
Speaker 1: to eventually go for WHERE i am. Now i'm making way,
Speaker 1: more got making way more now THAN i would have
Speaker 1: HAD i started off at the job that was going
Speaker 1: to start me off as way more because the skill
Speaker 1: sets THAT i learned at like WHERE i really wanted
Speaker 1: to be allowed me to basically build the life THAT i. Wanted,
Speaker 1: so you, know, money although it is, important it is
Speaker 1: not the only decider for what you want to do
Speaker 1: with your. Life and THAT i really tend to lean
Speaker 1: toward really collecting experiences and skills so you can live
Speaker 1: the life that you desire at the end of the,
Speaker 1: day you.
Speaker 2: Know and she didn't mention whether or not she's asked for.
Speaker 2: More and if you, haven't at least, Ask, yeah you never,
Speaker 2: know you never. Know it's, uh it's it's it's. NOT i,
Speaker 2: mean the worst they can do is say. No and
Speaker 2: you should ask for you should ask for more if
Speaker 2: you haven't. Yet good? Luck what DID i call? Her?
Speaker 2: Diana good Luck. Diana don't be so. HARD i mean twenty. Five,
Speaker 2: man WHEN i think about twenty, Five, yeah who? Knew you,

Speaker 2: do a lot in five. Years you never, know you never,
Speaker 2: know you never.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, okay we.
Speaker 2: HAVEN'T i want to do another quick career. Question this
Speaker 2: is from a listener Called. ALEXANDRA i don't think she's
Speaker 2: okay with me using her? Name, Okay, So alexandra, Says
Speaker 2: i'm so's the Podcast thank.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: So i'm twenty three years old AND i graduated from
Speaker 2: college Last. August right, NOW i work at an entry
Speaker 2: level job at A pr. Firm just last, WEEK i
Speaker 2: had a one on one meeting with my boss that
Speaker 2: left me in. Tears while in that, MEETING i realized
Speaker 2: THAT i wasn't passionate about WHAT i did and started
Speaker 2: to panic THAT i was never going to figure out
Speaker 2: what exactly it is THAT i wanted to do twenty,
Speaker 2: THREE i would love to have a job that allowed
Speaker 2: me to express my creativity through writing and social media
Speaker 2: and also inspire and help. Others BUT i feel like
Speaker 2: in today's, WORLD i have to be quote realistic and
Speaker 2: have a job that's more. Stable i'm not going to
Speaker 2: quit my job because it's my only source of. Income good.
Speaker 2: Idea so my question is how are you guys able
Speaker 2: to navigate the career world and do you have any
Speaker 2: tips for young person like?
Speaker 4: Me?
Speaker 1: So what does she? Say she was like? Her her
Speaker 1: passion is what she what's something? Creative were she she's
Speaker 1: allowed to do what she?
Speaker 2: Says i'd love to have a job that allowed me
Speaker 2: to express my creativity through writing and social media and
Speaker 2: also inspire help. Others and right now she's working entry
Speaker 2: level at A pr.
Speaker 1: Firm i'm, like, girl you want TO i need somebody
Speaker 1: to help navigate this DreamCatcher group that social media helping
Speaker 1: others a.
Speaker 2: Real long wanting it for her.
Speaker 1: Email, yeah you're looking for a. JOB i, mean like
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be full, time But i'll say this that
Speaker 1: working and so this is just a good for everyone
Speaker 1: kind of listening. That one of the things That i'm
Speaker 1: noticing is from so many of my friends are, entrepreneurs
Speaker 1: and What i'm noticing is their their businesses are growing
Speaker 1: and they're starting to really, hire you, know not enough
Speaker 1: for you to like quit your job, higher but enough
Speaker 1: for you to have side income. Higher and What i've
Speaker 1: seen was my business is that because we're growing so,
Speaker 1: quickly that someone will have started off as an intern
Speaker 1: and then six months later not even like one of the,
Speaker 1: interns NOW i just offered, her you, know part time.
Speaker 1: Work and in the woman that she's taken the place
Speaker 1: off is because she's been bumped up and she's only
Speaker 1: been here six. Months and so What i'm seeing just
Speaker 1: like here at The budgetista is that people come in
Speaker 1: if they do a good, job within a few, months
Speaker 1: they're bumped up and they're bumped up and they're bumped.
Speaker 1: Up and you, know, NOW i mean there are people
Speaker 1: who started like my my executive assistant. Admin she was
Speaker 1: awesome as AN, admin but THEN i found out she
Speaker 1: had her master HER mba in. Accounting so now she's
Speaker 1: like OUR, cfo she's killing. It and NOW i just.
Speaker 1: Hired she was only here for a month BEFORE i
Speaker 1: realized she was, amazing And i'm, like why did you say?
Speaker 1: That so now she's been bumped up THE cfo AND
Speaker 1: i brought on a new executive admin and she's been
Speaker 1: with us with me for like three, weeks and so,
Speaker 1: looking you, KNOW i would look to join some of
Speaker 1: these like entrepreneur groups On facebook because you, know a
Speaker 1: lot of people's businesses are starting to do better and
Speaker 1: they're able to offer at least something on the. Side
Speaker 1: and you get to learn in a safe environment because
Speaker 1: when you work for a really small, company you get
Speaker 1: to see, everything you, Know so like the intern Yatals,
Speaker 1: hager all, right so when she first came, on she
Speaker 1: just got to shadow different people in our, company AND
Speaker 1: i was kind of, like, well when you're done, shadowing
Speaker 1: tell me what you like the. Most and you, Know
Speaker 1: i'm always looking for more help than we can just
Speaker 1: put you there and begin to pay, you and so
Speaker 1: it JUST i would really look to see if there
Speaker 1: were entrepreneurs who were just looking for people to help. Out,
Speaker 1: like LIKE i, SAID i, KNOW i, AM i know
Speaker 1: my inbox is gonna be. Flooded i'm, like, geez you know,
Speaker 1: what don't email me directly email me at budget meast
Speaker 1: the jobs at gmail dot, com Budget mesta jobs at
Speaker 1: gmail dot, com because that's WHERE i take, on like you,
Speaker 1: know and flush through people's resumes and. Stuff but, yeah
Speaker 1: that would be my. Suggestion Because i'm seeing so many
Speaker 1: of my. Friends you know what, happens we're all sharing
Speaker 1: the same. People like MY, Cfo i've shared her with
Speaker 1: two minch she's like THE cfo of three of my
Speaker 1: other friends. Businesses because it's so hard when you're an
Speaker 1: entrepreneur to find good. Help so when someone finds good,
Speaker 1: help they're, like who do you use to design your?
Speaker 1: Book my Friend hector designs somef for like all my. Friends,
Speaker 1: now because you run into so many people who are
Speaker 1: not a great fit or who don't. Produce so when
Speaker 1: you find, someone you pass them, around like you Want,
Speaker 1: hector who wants Some hector who wants Some rachel who
Speaker 1: wants for, real like and so it there's a lot
Speaker 1: of money in, it because SO i might, pay you,
Speaker 1: know Like, rachel but now she gets income from my
Speaker 1: Friend cabrale and my Friend, drina and my other Friend
Speaker 1: lovey and my friend you. Know so it's there's just
Speaker 1: a lot of money in helping entrepreneurs and that way
Speaker 1: you can get you get to also learn and be
Speaker 1: free and decide what it is that you really truly.
Speaker 1: Enjoy so that would be my.
Speaker 2: SUGGESTION i feel like What alexandria really needs is just
Speaker 2: a hug and like a glass of wine and just
Speaker 2: a reminder that you're only twenty. THREE i you, know
Speaker 2: you're NEVER i don't know if anyone wakes up one
Speaker 2: day and they're, LIKE i, MAN i really figured it,
Speaker 2: Out like this life thing IS i got a, lockdown
Speaker 2: because like you think you got your career figured, out
Speaker 2: and then your personal life falls at a, part or
Speaker 2: like your family life falls if something, happens LIKE i,
Speaker 2: think if you're expecting to have everything figured out this.
Speaker 2: Soon it's just you're just gonna end up. Disappointed but
Speaker 2: you're working before you're finding out what you don't. LIKE i,
Speaker 2: mean your first, job you're supposed to hate, it right
Speaker 2: like you're supposed. TO i, mean you're lucky if you
Speaker 2: love your first. Job AND i think you KNOW i
Speaker 2: was lucky to love my first, job although it lasted
Speaker 2: like two. Months but take this, time like learn what
Speaker 2: you can. Learn you're at A pr. FIRM i, MEAN
Speaker 2: i know you're probably just cranking out press, releases but
Speaker 2: you're getting experience and you're building up the resume that's

Speaker 2: putting this like unrealistic expectation on yourself to have everything
Speaker 2: to be exactly where you need to be and to
Speaker 2: see your whole career mapped. Out it's not careers aren't.
Speaker 2: Linear they don't have to be. Linear, yeah have to

Speaker 2: can be jumping on you got to go jump back
Speaker 2: one step, left, right one, step two steps, forward one step,
Speaker 2: back like you never, know and you kind of have
Speaker 2: to be prepared and be resilient when you hit a
Speaker 2: wall like you're hitting right, now and just know that
Speaker 2: something will come. Along but you, know be looking for,
Speaker 2: opportunities Like tiffany, said join some, groups see if there's
